<p>The Hotel Holly–Haswell Hotel is a historic district in Haswell, Colorado, containing a two-story hotel, a filling station, a bunkhouse, and a chicken coop.</p><br>
<p>It was deemed locally significant as one of the first business buildings in Haswell, and was run as a hostelry for 60 years, until it was closed in the 1990s. It is also significant for association with the Hollingsworth and Rebel and Covalt families, each of which operated the hotel. The hotel is one example of foursquare architecture, also known as a "prairie cube", a complete kit home which could be purchased thru the major mail order catalogs of the time. It is well remembered by long time Haswell residents for its well tended landscaping. The hotel and property were purchased in November, 2023, and rebranded The Historic&#39;. It is currently under restoration and is now a private residence. The current owners are working to preserve its history as well as the property, and have plans to open the former gas station as a gift shop and comfort station for the Transamerica Bike Trail, and the former hotel as a model for sustained affordable housing. The project is expected to utilize renewable food resources as part of the landscaping, natural energy sources, and an onsite recreation area,open to use by local residents and the general public. The project will take several years to complete.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2013.</p><br>
<p>The Moses and Mary Hart Stone House and Ranch Complex, in Malheur County, Oregon near Westfall, is a historic property that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

According to the NRHP nomination, it had been identified by authors Nielsen and Galbreath in Oregons Fading Past, as "an architecture gem, soon to be forever lost unless restoration</p><br>
<p>occurs in the near future."</p><br>
<p>The Historic Anchorage Hotel is a hotel located at 330 E Street in Anchorage, Alaska, United States. The original Anchorage Hotel building was built in 1916; the current hotel building, which was constructed as an annex to the hotel, opened in 1936. C.B. Wark built the first hotel building; while the building was originally a wood-frame structure, Frank Reed upgraded the building to a luxury hotel in 1917. The hotel outgrew its original building due to Anchorages growth in the 1930s, so the Anchorage Hotel Annex was built in 1936 to house additional guests. The annex, designed by E. Ellsworth Sedille, had a Gothic design and was one of the tallest buildings in Anchorage at the time. Guests at the hotel included Warren Harding, Harold L. Ickes, Walt Disney, Wiley Post, and Will Rogers; the latter two stayed at the hotel only two days prior to their deaths in a plane crash. In addition, artist Sidney Laurence lived in the hotel for parts of the 1920s and 1930s; Laurence once exchanged a painting of Denali for a years rent at the hotel.</p><br>
<p>In the 1950s, the hotel declined in status, and the buildings suffered from a lack of maintenance. The original hotel building was demolished in the 1960s, while the annex became the Hotel Ronald Lee; after a number of ownership changes, Bob and Carolyn Neumann rehabilitated the hotel in the late 1980s. After its renovation, the hotel regained its original name; it now operates as the Historic Anchorage Hotel.</p><br>
<p>The annex was added to the National Register of Historic Places on April 15, 1999.</p><br>
<p>The Olivenhain Town Meeting Hall is a community meeting house located at 423 Rancho Santa Fe Rd. in Olivenhain, California. The wood frame building was constructed from 1894 to 1895 by the settlers of Olivenhain. The residents of Olivenhain used the building for nearly all community functions, including political meetings, agricultural discussions, weddings, and community dances. Almost every important event in the community&#39;s history took place in the hall, and one author called the building "the nerve center of Olivenhain". An annex was added to the hall in 1916, using redwood from a second meeting hall which had fallen into disrepair.</p><br>
<p>The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on December 17, 1993.</p><br>
<p>Mission Brewery Plaza is a historic brewery building in the Middletown neighborhood of San Diego, California. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on July 6, 1989. It is also the name of a San Diego microbrewery which opened in 2007 and operates in a different neighborhood in San Diego.</p><br>
<h2>Historic building</h2><br>
<p>Built from 1912 to 1913, the brewery was the first in the USA to be designed in the Mission Revival style; it is still the only Mission Revival industrial building in San Diego. The brewery was operated by the San Diego Consolidated Brewing Company, a group led by August F. Lang. Due to the impending threat of prohibition on the brewing industry, the brewery began production of a non-alcoholic drink called Hopski in 1915; however, the drink sold poorly and was discontinued, and the brewery closed in 1918.</p><br>
<p>The building served as an isolation hospital during the 1918 flu pandemic; the physician in charge of the hospital, Dr. Peter C. Remondino, claimed to have never lost a patient to the flu. The American Agar Company purchased the building in 1923 and converted it into San Diego&#39;s first agar production plant. While the American Agar Company folded in 1933 due to Japanese competition, the building became an agar plant again after Japanese imports ceased during World War II. The American Agar and Chemical Company produced agar in the building from the 1940s until 1987.</p><br>
<p>In 1987, developer Mike Foote bought the property, restored it, and converted it into offices. He hoped to open a microbrewery and restaurant at the site but lost the property to foreclosure in 1992. Pacifica Company bought it and continues to operate it as an office building. Pacifica later developed an adjacent residential complex called the Mission Apartments.</p><br>
<p>In 2013, a new craft brewery called Acoustic Ales Brewing Experiment opened in the reconditioned old brewery space, but has since closed. In April 2018, Latchkey Brewing opened in the same location, but closed their brewery in 2021. Both breweries cited moving to a larger location in Carlsbad as the reason for closing, but neither has resurfaced as of April 2023.</p><br>
<h2>Craft brewery</h2><br>
<p>In 2007, the name was revived when a new Mission Brewery craft brewery opened in East Village, San Diego. It is housed at 1441 L Street in the historic Wonder Bread building, built in 1894. The former commercial bakery is now a 14,000 ft&sup2; brewery with an initial capacity of 10,000 barrels a year and a tasting room that could accommodate up to 400 people. The brewery produces hefeweizen, IPA, blonde ale and amber styles, as well as extreme beers like Shipwrecked Double IPA, Carrack Imperial Red, Dark Seas Imperial Stout, and El Conquistador. As a result of the Covid-19 pandemic, Mission Brewery converted their main tasting room into additional brewing capacity for contract brewing and converted a back area of the lot into a new tasting room, moving the building entrance from L Street to 14th Street. Mission Brewery has one additional tasting room located in the Kensington neighborhood of San Diego, having taken it over from Kensington Brewing Company whose owners left the brewing industry.</p><br>

<p>The Beaver Lake Dam, in Admiralty Island National Monument near Angoon, Alaska, is a Civilian Conservation Corps-built structure that was built in 1936. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1995.</p><br>
<p>It was designed as part of the Admiralty Island Civilian Conservation Corps Canoe Route to raise the level of Beaver Lake by about 3 ft so that a channel between Beaver Lake and Lake Alexander could be traversed by canoes. As of 1992, the dam had deteriorated but still kept the level of the lake higher by a foot or more.</p><br>
<p>The Mary Ray Memorial School, now the Raymond Community Center, is located on Raymond Sheddan Avenue in Raymond, Georgia, United States. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on July 23, 2013.</p><br>
<p>The school was founded in 1908 as a one-room schoolhouse. When it opened, it had around 30 students. In 1909, there were around 70 students, and a wing was added. In 1910, it had over 100 students, and a second wing was built. The school was closed in 1948, and in the early 1950s the building was given to the community for a community club. In the mid-1980s, it fell into disrepair.</p><br>
<p>In 2007, new trustees were appointed, who met outside the building in the "kudzu" and decided to save it. Volunteer workers began the restoration in October 2007, and the work was completed in June 2011.</p><br>

<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The library was built using a $10,000 grant from Andrew Carnegie and completed in 1910. The library itself opened on July 27, 1910. In 1958 memorabilia and historical items were displayed in the remodeled basement which formally became the Gilroy Museum in 1963. In 1976 the library moved locations and the museum now occupies the entire building. In 1988 the building was added to the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>The Dr. W. T. Bolton House is a historic house located at 370 W. Del Mar Boulevard in Pasadena, California. Built in 1906, the Craftsman-style house was designed by prominent Pasadena architects Charles and Henry Greene. The houses design emphasizes function over form, a key concept in Craftsman designs; its joints and beams are exposed, and the wooden front door was oiled by hand to highlight its natural grain and color. The houses light fixtures, stained glass windows, and even furnishings were also designed by Greene and Greene to give the house a unified design. Dr. W. T. and Alice Bolton commissioned the house, which was their second residence designed by the Greene brothers; while W. T. Bolton died before he could live in the house, Alice Bolton lived there until 1917. The house was one of several Craftsman homes built in Pasadenas "Millionaires Row" district, which included a number of large homes in the vicinity of Orange Grove Boulevard.</p><br>
<p>The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on July 9, 1980.</p><br>
<p>The Eads Community Church is a historic church in Eads, Colorado. It was deemed significant for its Jacobean Revival architecture and as Kiowa County, Colorado&#39;s "oldest, largest, and best-preserved religious building."</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2013.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>By 1920, Eads was one of only four towns in Kiowa County to have a church. Eads residents determined that they needed a larger church building in 1920, one that could also serve as a community center to host sporting events. Pueblo, Colorado architect William White Stickney submitted designs for the structure in 1920. Projected to cost $35,000, Eads struggled to raise the necessary funds during construction. The town was only about to collect 24% of the promised $30,754 in cash, labor, and materials from residents. Community officials decided that construction would finish on the church basement, which extended to the first floor. Amid the Dust Bowl and Great Depression plans to complete the building were put on hold for decades.</p><br>
<p>In 1949, resident William T. Holland presented cost-effective plans to complete the church. In January 1951, the project resumes. Pueblo architect John James Wallace, Jr. was tasked with designing the rest of the church. The first services in the completed church were held on October 28, 1951. The building extension provided seating for 220 people. In 1969, the congregation became affiliated with the United Methodist Church, which continues to worship in this building.</p><br>
<p>The Eads School Gymnasium is a historic Mission Revival-style school gymnasium in Eads, Colorado.</p><br>
<p>The gymnasium was important in Eads for providing an alternative to the basement of the 1923-built Eads Community Church (also NRHP-listed) for indoor basketball and other community events. The construction of this building reflected the increasingly common opinion of the time that a complete education included physical education. It is credited with providing advantages that contributed to the success of the basketball team during the 1930s and 1940s. It also supported women&#39;s basketball and other sports.</p><br>
<p>Washington Court is a bungalow court located at 475 E. Washington Blvd. in Pasadena, California. The court consists of six single-family homes arranged in an "L" shape; a common walkway and garden runs along the east side of the court, while a driveway on the west side accesses a rear garage. The homes are designed in the English Cottage Revival style and feature cross gabled roofs with wooden louvers at the gable ends, wooden trim and window moldings, and arched entrances with flared eaves. F. R. Finch commissioned the court in 1924; the homes cost $2,250 each to build.</p><br>
<p>The court was added to the National Register of Historic Places on November 15, 1994.</p><br>
<p>Miss Ortons Classical School for Girls was a private girls school in Pasadena, California. The school, which was run by educator Anna Orton, opened in 1890. The school was designed to prepare girls for a higher education at a college in the Eastern United States, as most secondary schools in Pasadena at the time assumed their students would go to Stanford or Berkeley if they desired further education.</p><br>
<h2>Curriculum</h2><br>
<p>The schools college preparatory curriculum reflected a national shift in womens educational opportunities; until the late nineteenth century, girls schools were mainly finishing schools or arts schools and were not academically equivalent to mens schools. Miss Ortons School was the first non-religious private girls school in Pasadena, as well as the only such school in the city until 1913, making Orton a pioneer of women&#39;s education in Pasadena. The school closed in 1930.</p><br>
<h2>Brief History</h2><br>
<p>The first building at the school, which housed a single classroom, was constructed in 1892. A gymnasium was built at a later point, and a dormitory was constructed in 1900. A bungalow which served as Miss Orton&#39;s home was built in 1908. The buildings were designed by Frederick Roehrig in the Victorian Colonial Revival style; they were probably the only educational buildings designed by Roehrig, a significant Southern California architect. The classroom and gymnasium burned down between 1910 and 1925 and were replaced by a social hall. The dormitory is now the only building remaining at its original location; while the bungalow is also still at the site of the school, it was moved to a new foundation in 1947. The dormitory was added to the National Register of Historic Places on August 4, 1995.</p><br>

<p>The Calais Observatory is a pair of granite fixtures in Meridian Park in Calais, Maine. The two stones were used for mounting scientific equipment used in a variety of astronomical observations, principally for the accurate calculation by the United States Coast Survey of Calaiss longitude with respect to meridians in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and Greenwich, England. The site was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2012, and is part of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administrations Heritage Trail program. At the time of its longitude determination in 1866 with respect to the Greenwich Meridian, it was arguably one of the most precisely located places in the United States.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Calais Observatory site is located on a granite knob in Meridian Park, on the grounds of the former Calais Academy, at the corner of North and Lincoln Streets. The surviving elements of the observatory are two granite fixtures, along with flat pads chiseled out of the bedrock, and several drill holes. The site was known to be sheltered by a nominally permanent structure in both 1857 and 1866, but had by 1895 lost whatever shelter it had.</p><br>
<p>The shorter of the two granite fixtures is called the transit stone; it stands about 3 ft tall, 2 ft wide, and 2 ft deep, and is oriented so that its sides align with the cardinal compass points. The top of the stone is incised with two channels, for aligning an astronomical transit and to accommodate the device&#39;s crank. The taller fixture is known as the clock stone, and about 1 ft square at its base, tapering to 8 in at its top 8 ft off the ground. It is located about 2 ft west of the transit stone, and has a number of grooves and holes carved into it. The exact function of this stone is not documented, but its features are consistent with the mounting of a Hardy pendulum clock of the type used by the survey crews. The clock would have been removed from its case and mounted on this stone; the transit stone would not have accommodated the clock. In addition to the two stone fixtures, there are rough square pads carved out of the bedrock about 4.5 ft north and south of the transit stone, and there are two holes drilled into the bedrock, 20 ft and 36 ft west of the transit stone; the function of these features is not known.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The accurate calculation of a locations longitude was long a critical element of maritime navigation. After abortive previous attempts, the United States Coast Survey began work in the 1830s to produce a consistent set of nautical charts for the nations coastline. The Harvard College Observatory in Cambridge, Massachusetts was chosen in 1847 as the site of the prime reference point for the longitude determinations, and survey work extended from there. The advent of telegraphy made possible the simultaneous exchange of time signals between distant locations to determine the difference in time between observed passage of an object in the sky (often Polaris) at different locations. With sufficiently accurate time pieces, longitude could be determined with significant precision.</p><br>
<p>On August 31, 1857, a survey crew installed equipment at this site, and at Thomas Hill in Bangor, Maine, and its longitude was established with respect to Cambridge, and to facilitate the determination of longitude at the observatory in Fredericton, New Brunswick. With the advent of transatlantic communications cables (first laid in 1858), the idea of coordinating the longitude with respect to the Greenwich Meridian became feasible. Although the first cable failed soon after operation, a second cable was laid 1866, connecting Foilhommerum on Valentia Island in Ireland with Heart&#39;s Content, Newfoundland. The longitudes of the Irish and Newfoundland stations were determined with respect to Greenwich in the summer of 1866, and in December of that year, observations were conducted at Calais to determine its longitude with respect to Greenwich. This allowed the entire United States longitudinal framework to be coordinated with that of Great Britain. The observatory was used once more, in 1895, to determine with greater precision its longitude with respect to Cambridge.</p><br>
<p>In 1998 the transit stone was found to have been pushed over and set against a nearby tree. The city returned it to its original 1857 location, and a surveyor with the National Geodetic Survey (one of the successors to the USA Coast Survey) in 2004 confirmed the stone&#39;s location to be within 2 in of its 1866 observed location.</p><br>
<p>The Poncan Theatre is a historic theater in Ponca City, Oklahoma. It is individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and is a contributing property of the Downtown Ponca City Historic District.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Poncan Theatre was designed by the Boller Brothers and opened on September 20, 1927. The building and its equipment cost $280,000, and it housed a $22,500 Wurlitzer pipe organ. The building served as a combination vaudeville–movie theater from its opening until the late 1940s when the vaudeville component was discontinued.</p><br>
<p>In 1939, the marquee was replaced with a neon-lit one. In 1954, the marquee was enlarged, obscuring much of the theater&#39;s second floor, and was enlarged again in 1962. In 1985, the theater closed; in 1990, the Poncan Theatre Company was founded to revive it. The building was renovated, which included the removal of the marquee in 1992 and replacement with one matching the 1927 original. The theater reopened on September 18, 1994.</p><br>
<p>The theater was added to the National Register of Historic Places on November 13, 1984. It was nominated for its local significance as the finest example of Spanish Colonial Revival architecture in Ponca City and its role as an entertainment venue. In 2001, additional documentation on the theater was submitted, revealing that the theater was designed by the Boller Brothers, not John Duncan Forsyth as originally identified in the 1984 nomination. In 2011, the theater was designated a contributing property of the newly listed Downtown Ponca City Historic District. At the time, the Poncan Theatre was the only site in the district previously listed on the National Register.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The north-facing theater is a three-story building that extends 75 ft wide. The first floor has a stone facade, while the upper floors are clad in polychrome brick. The facade features a large, central curvilinear gable parapet rimmed with terra cotta ornamentation and five finials. The midline of the gable features a two-story rectangular window with stained glass sidelights, topped by a circular stained glass oculus window highlighted by a terra cotta sunburst. The central window is rimmed by spiralled Corinthian columns and flanked by three rectangular windows on both sides on the second and third stories. Above is a terra cotta cornice supporting a red-tiled hip roof. The central entrance is recessed behind the box office, and on either side is a shallow store front.</p><br>
<p>The Dr. Frank Finney House, at 608 Belleview Ave. in La Junta, Colorado, was built in 1899. It was a work of architect Walter Dubree and is designed in a generally Edwardian vernacular style but with Colonial Revival details. Also known as the Hofmann-Collins House, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.</p><br>
<p>It was deemed significant as the largest historic house and the "most lavishly detailed" in La Junta. It was home of Dr. Frank Finney (d.1919) who was the Santa Fe Railroad&#39;s district surgeon and served as president of the Colorado Medical Society. The owners in 1984 were doctors Hofmann and Collins.</p><br>
<p>The Garfield County Frontier Fairgrounds, near Burwell, Nebraska, also known as Burwell Rodeo Ground, is a historic property with significance dating to 1922. A 40 acre area was listed as a historic district on the USA National Register of Historic Places in 1985. The listing included 13 contributing buildings and seven other contributing structures.</p><br>
<p>By the mid-1980s, it was Nebraska&#39;s oldest rodeo venue in which the original buildings were still being used for their original purposes.</p><br>
<p>The Prairie Dog Creek Bridge, near Orleans, Nebraska, is a historic Camelback pony truss bridge that was built in 1913. It was designed and built by Monarch Engineering Co., with its steel was fabricated by Jones & Laughlin Steel Co. Also designated as NEHBS No. HN00-53, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.</p><br>
<p>The bridge is a single rigid-connected Camelback pony truss and has carried vehicular traffic since 1913.</p><br>
<p>The Stoutenburgh House is a historic house located at 255 S. Marengo Ave. in Pasadena, California. Built in 1893, the house was designed by Los Angeles architect J. H. Bradbeer in the Queen Anne style. The house&#39;s design features a roof with many gables, multiple porches with turned columns and brackets carved by bandsaws, and patterned shingle siding. An original carriage house is also located on the property. John and Mary Stoutenburgh, a prominent local couple, lived in the house; John died in 1904, but Mary occupied the house into the 1920s. The house underwent extensive restoration between c.1980 and 1983.</p><br>
<p>The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on November 25, 1980.</p><br>
<p>The Louise C. Bentz House is a historic house located at 657 Prospect Boulevard in Pasadena, California. Built in 1906, the bungalow was designed by prominent Pasadena architects Charles and Henry Greene. While the house has a typical bungalow design, its design also exhibits chalet influences in its overhangs and pitched roof and Japanese influences in the edges of the roof and overall horizontal emphasis. The house is the best remaining example of the houses the Greene brothers designed for middle-class Pasadena residents, most of which have been demolished or significantly altered. In addition, the house was the first built in the Prospect Park Tract, a neighborhood of historic homes designed by prominent architects. John Bentz, a significant Pasadena businessman and developer, commissioned the house.</p><br>
<p>The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on December 2, 1977.</p><br>
<p>The Warehouse District of Salt Lake City, Utah, is a historic district on the city&#39;s west side. The area has been occupied by artists, and worked on by developers. A small portion of its area was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982, and the listing was greatly enlarged by a boundary increase in 2016.</p><br>
<h2>Original district</h2><br>

<p>The district was listed as part of a group of about 35 listings in 1982, as a result of a study of the historic resources in the larger business district area.</p><br>
<h2>Expanded district</h2><br>
<p>The district was expanded by a boundary increase listing in 2016, at which time additional documentation was published. The district is now nearly a square mile in area (it is 544 acres vs. 640 acres in a square mile). It has an irregular shape, roughly bounded by I-15, 50 South, West Temple Street, 300 West, and 1000 South.</p><br>
<p>The expanded district listing was guided by the "Salt Lake City Business District MRA" document.</p><br>
<p>The district includes 26 properties which were already separately listed on the National Register, and a total of 197 contributing resources. Many are warehouses and commercial sites, but the district also includes residential properties. To qualify as a contributing resource, a site in the district need to have been constructed in 1869-1966 and to have sustained only minimal physical alteration.</p><br>
<p>Field studies in 2012 and 2015 identified four periods of development in the district:</p><br>
<p>Railroads and Outside Influences 1869-1899 - 29 buildings, 20 contributing</p><br>
<p>Commercialization and Immigration 1900-1928 - 102 buildings, 76 contributing</p><br>

<h2>Richard C. Burtis</h2><br>
<p>Richard C. Burtis was born in Pittstown, near Troy, New York, in April 1824. While quite young, Burtis moved with his parents to Hoosick Falls, N.Y. When Burtis was only five years old, his father died. Burtis&#39;s mother and family soon moved to Troy, New York, where they resided about six years. Then they moved to Ashtabula County, Ohio, returning to Troy, New York in 1838. Burtis accepted a position in a grocery store, where he remained three years, at which point he went to Ithaca, New York and learned the shoemakers’ trade. He remained there three-and-a-half years and worked in nearly all of the Eastern cities for the following fifteen years.</p><br>
<p>In 1855, Burtis went to Michigan on a hunting expedition, and two years later relocated to Watrousville, Tuscola County, where he engaged in shoemaking up to 1862. Burtis&#39;s brother died in 1862, and Burtis took ownership with his sister, Sara, in a general store. After seven years, Burtis took full ownership of the entire stock and conducted the store alone about thirteen years until he retired in 1882.</p><br>
<p>Burtis also became the postmaster of Watrousville for four years, from 1862 to 1866, when the Postmaster General was given orders to relieve postmasters across the country and replace them with veterans returning from the Civil War. One-hundred-seventy were replaced in Michigan. Burtis married Miss Flora A. Chubb, of Nankin, Wayne County, Michigan, in 1868.</p><br>
<h2>House History</h2><br>
<p>Burtis purchased 40 acres of land at this site in about 1870, and constructed a house on the site, on one of the highest point in Tuscola County. Construction was finished in 1880. Burtis and his wife remained in their home until his death on January 17, 1901, at the age of 77. The house was then sold to Byron Cole in 1901.</p><br>
<p>The house was designated a Michigan State Historic Site on November 15, 1973. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on June 26, 1975.</p><br>

<p>Wolf House was a 26-room mansion in Glen Ellen, California, built by novelist Jack London and his wife Charmian London. The house burned on August 22, 1913, shortly before the Londons were planning to move in. Stone ruins of the never-occupied home still stand, and are part of Jack London State Historic Park, which has been a National Historic Landmark since 1963.</p><br>
<h2>Planning</h2><br>
<p>In an essay called "The House Beautiful", written in 1906 and published in his 1909 book Revolution and Other Essays, London described his ideal "dream house". He wrote that "Utility and beauty must be indissolubly wedded" and said the house must be "honest in construction, material and appearance". He described modern bathrooms, spacious and well-appointed servant&#39;s quarters, easy cleaning and maintenance, good ventilation and ample fireplaces. He predicted that he would build his dream house in seven to ten years.</p><br>
<p>London had purchased a 130 acre farm in the Sonoma Valley in about 1905. He later purchased several adjoining parcels, increasing the size of the farm to approximately 1,200 acre. About one third was cultivated, and two thirds was wooded hillsides. He called the property "Wonder Ranch".</p><br>
<h2>Design</h2><br>
<p>London hired San Francisco architect Albert L. Farr to design the home. Farr was a leading exponent of Arts and Crafts architecture in California. The design was described as "rustic and individualistic", and featured a library measuring 19 by, and a living room two stories high measuring 18 by. In response to Londons wish for modern amenities, Farrs plans included a water heater, electric lighting, refrigeration, a built-in vacuum cleaning system, laundry facilities including a "steam dryer rotary wringer", and a wine cellar. Mindful of the severe damage caused by the 1906 San Francisco earthquake, London and Farr incorporated great strength and durability into the design of the structure.</p><br>
<p>A 1987 study by a group of architectural historians said that Wolf House "can be thought of as a combination of one of Greene and Greenes ultimate bungalows&#39; of Southern California and one of the great lodges of the Adirondack mountains".</p><br>
<p>The house was 15,000 ft&sup2, with 26 rooms and nine fireplaces.</p><br>
<h2>Construction</h2><br>
<p>Construction began late in 1910 as stones were blasted and trees cut. London hired Italian stonemason Natale Forni (1871&ndash;1948) as foreman for the project. He also hired his older sister Eliza London Shepard (1867&ndash;1939) as his ranch superintendent, and she was involved in the day-to-day management of the construction.</p><br>
<p>The structure of the home was built of five primary materials, all obtained locally: Coast Redwood logs with bark intact, boulders, chunks of volcanic rock blasted out of the ground and otherwise unquarried, blue slate, and concrete.</p><br>
<h2>Fire</h2><br>
<p>Construction of Wolf House was almost complete and the Londons were planning to move in when a fire began late on the night of August 22, 1913. The fire spread rapidly and gutted the interior of the house, although the massive masonry walls remained standing. The red tile roof collapsed into the interior. Although arson was suspected, no strong evidence was ever discovered.</p><br>
<p>The fire had a profound effect on those most involved in the project. Jack&#39;s sister Eliza wept that night. Charmian London later wrote that Eliza was "scarred to her soul" and that the foreman Forni was "like a father who had lost his child, and in danger of losing his reason". His wife also wrote that "the razing of his house killed something in Jack, and he never ceased to feel the tragic inner sense of loss".</p><br>
<h2>Aftermath</h2><br>
<p>Financial losses were estimated at $35,000 to $40,000. London had several insurance policies on the home, and collected $10,000 in claims. The National Union Fire Insurance Company later featured a thank you letter written by London in an advertising campaign.</p><br>
<p>Jack London pledged to rebuild the house, and his workers began to cut fresh redwood logs, which had to be dried and cured for 18 months before reconstruction could begin. However, London&#39;s health declined, and he died three years and three months after the fire, on November 22, 1916.</p><br>
<p>Charmian London continued living at Beauty Ranch until her death in 1955, settling eventually into a home she called "The House of Happy Walls", about half a mile (800 m) from the Wolf House ruins. There she protected her husbands legacy and wrote a biography of him. Her home is now a museum. Both Jack and Charmian London are buried at Beauty Ranch, as is Jacks sister Eliza.</p><br>
<p>Heirs of the London family donated the property to the State of California in 1960. The Wolf House ruins were designated a California Historical Landmark in 1959, and a National Historic Landmark in 1963. Steel bracing was added to the masonry structure in 1965 to prevent deterioration. Although the interior of the ruins is fenced off, visitors can walk up to the exterior walls of the structure. Wolf House was one of the first ones to be added to the National Register of Historic Places on October 15, 1966, because of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 which was signed that same day.</p><br>
<p>In 1995, a forensic analysis of the cause of the fire was completed by a team of ten experts led by Robert N. Anderson, a retired engineering professor from San Jose State University. Various possible causes were ruled out. The day had been very hot, but there was no lightning. The investigators found no evidence of arson, or of an electrical fire, since the generator had not been installed. Instead, they identified spontaneous combustion as the most likely cause. Earlier on the day the fire started, a linseed oil finish was being applied to the "magnificent" oak and walnut interior cabinets and woodwork. Workers had previously been rebuked for carelessness with the flammable finishing materials. The fire probably started in oil-soaked cotton rags, in the ground floor dining room, below the library and Jack London&#39;s work room. Some of the windows had not yet been installed, allowing free air flow to feed the fire. The fire probably ignited the wood floor first, then spread to the wood wall paneling. By the time the fire was discovered, it was out of control.</p><br>
<p>The Gov. John Hopwood Mickey House, at State St. in Osceola, Nebraska, was built in c.1883-1884. It was a home of John Hopwood Mickey. In 1977 the house was leased by, and was also known as, the Polk County Historical Museum, which includes other historic buildings that have been moved onto the property.</p><br>
<p>Alone out of the buildings on the property, the house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1977.</p><br>
<p>Prospect Historic District is a residential historic district in Pasadena, California, consisting of homes along Prospect Boulevard and several surrounding streets. The approximate northern boundary of the district is Westgate Street and the approximate southern boundary is Orange Grove Boulevard. The district includes 108 residences and roughly encompasses the Prospect Park and Arroyo Park Tracts, a pair of early Pasadena subdivisions.</p><br>
<p>Development on the Prospect Park Tract began in 1904, and the first house was built there in 1906. J.C. Brainerd, Nyles Eaton, and John C. Bentz acquired the 32-acre parcel adjacent to a Los Angeles and Salt Lake Railroad spur. The land was divided into 64 lots along wide curved streets planted with camphor and palm trees. The Arroyo Park Tract was first surveyed in 1910, and its development soon followed; the two tracts were linked by the Prospect Boulevard Bridge, which was built in 1908.</p><br>
<p>The houses in the district represent a wide variety of architectural styles and include works by several prominent architects, such as Frank Lloyd Wrights Millard House, Charles and Henry Greenes Bentz House, a 1909 mansion designed by Alfred and Arthur Heineman, and a 1922 private residence designed by Myron Hunt. The varied architecture of the district&#39;s homes is united by its landscaping, particularly through the camphor trees which line its streets.</p><br>
<p>Prospect Park is served by Cleveland Elementary School, Washington Middle School, and John Muir High School. Prospect Park is served by Metro Local line 256. It is also served by Pasadena Transit routes 51 and 52.</p><br>
<p>The district was added to the National Register of Historic Places on April 7, 1983.</p><br>
<p>Berry Hill is or was a historic home and farm complex located near Danville, Pittsylvania County, Virginia, United States. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980. However, may be in the process of being delisted in connection with industrial development plans by Mega Site, the City of Danville and Pittsylvania County.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Pioneer Nicholas Perkins acquired the land, which on his death was bequeathed to his eldest son Peter Perkins who became a planter and politician as well as important Virginia patriot during the American Revolutionary War. Perkins built a house for his bride, Agnes Wilson, daughter of pioneer surveyor and militia captain Peter Wilson, who surveyed for a road between the homestead of pioneer William Bean (who later moved to Tennessee) to the mouth of Sandy River. Perkins lived at Berry Hill and operated a ferry as well as a plantation. Perkins bequeathed the Berry Hill to his son Nicholas Perkins (Jr.), who around 1810 sold Berry Hill to his cousin Major Peter Wilson (who would lead troops in the War of 1812). However, Peter Wilson died in 1814 and by 1819 it was owned by Robert Hairston, the brother in law of Wilson&#39;s daughter, who owned it through the American Civil War. In 1881 Hairston bequeathed this plantation to his daughter Ruth Hairston, who by 1898 married Albert Varley Sims. (Ruth being a common name in the family, she was related to prominent local historian and Lost Cause advocate Ruth Hairston Early)</p><br>
<p>The main house was built in several sections during the 19th and early 20th centuries, taking its present form about 1910. Robert Varley Sims inherited it in 1966, and began the process which led it its inclusion on the Virginia landmarks register and ultimately the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The property consists of a house and about twenty outbuildings. The oldest section of the main house is a two-story, three-bay structure connected by a hyphen to a -story wing set perpendicular to the main block. Connected by a hyphen is a one-story, single-cell wing probably built in the 1840s. Enveloping the front wall and the hyphen of the original house is a large, two-story structure built about 1910 with a shallow gambrel roof with bell-cast eaves. Located on the property are a large assemblage of contributing outbuildings including the former kitchen/laundry, the "lumber shed," the smokehouse, the dairy, a small gable-roofed log cabin, a chicken house, a log slave house, log corn crib, and a log stable.</p><br>
