<p>The Gunther Building is an historic building at 469 Broome Street on the corner of Greene Street in the SoHo neighborhood of Manhattan, New York City.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The building was designed by Griffith Thomas in 1871 and was completed in 1871 or 1872. It is styled in the cast-iron architecture of its day, which is common in the area, but is distinguished from its neighbors by its bright white facade, its richly decorated Corinthian columns, and its curved glass corner. Lenny Kravitz was once a resident.</p><br>
<p>The building is listed as contributing to the SoHo-Cast Iron Historic District and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.</p><br>
<p>In 2001 Beyhan Karahan and Associates completed a five-year project to restore the buildings facade. The firm also restored the bullet glass sidewalk and steps. The following year the firms restoration received the Excellence in Historic Preservation Award from the Preservation League of New York.</p><br>
<p>The A. T. Ranch Headquarters, in Wheeler County, Nebraska near Bartlett, Nebraska, has historic significance dating to 1906.

<p>The Hunt–Sitterding House, located at 901 Floyd Avenue in Richmond, Virginia, is a late Victorian Era building originally constructed to serve as residence and office of the architect and contractor Gilbert J. Hunt, Jr. .</p><br>
<p>It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 2008.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Built between 1889 and 1891, the Hunt–Sitterding House is a noteworthy example of Richmond&#39;s late 19th century town house architecture. Gilbert J. Hunt Jr. lived and worked from the house since its completion in 1891, up to his death in 1921. His widow Ella Hunt inherited the house, but she died the following year.</p><br>
<p>Richmond realtor Frederick Sitterding, Jr. purchased the property from the Hunt estate in 1922. Like Hunt, Sitterding used the house as his office as well as residence.</p><br>
<p>The Virginia Commonwealth University acquired the house in 1975 from Edward and Edith Shaw and it was used as offices.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The house is an impressive example of the late Victorian Era architectural style fashionable at the time of its construction. It displays influences of both the Queen Anne style architecture and Romanesque Revival. Despite renovations and alterations done to the interior of the house, some key elements have been preserved, such as the decorative main staircase, which retains its honey-brown natural oak finish. The exterior of the house remains vastly unchanged, with the exception of the backyard garden which has been turned into a parking lot.</p><br>
<p>The exterior of the house is clad in pressed red brick veneer, with rough-faced gray granite trims and window sills and lintels, and stucco foundation. Characteristic of its period, the house is vertically imposing, with a 3-story tower flanking its east side, topped by a steeply pointed octagonal roof. The original double front door is sheltered by a brick porch entered by a wide Romanesque arch. The roof has patterned slate decorations with touches of red and green. Because of its proximity to neighboring houses at the time of construction, the sides were left relatively plain, and this is evident on the west wall as it was never intended to be visible, with the neighbor house standing only a few meters from it. However, the six 3-story town houses also built by Hunt to the west of his house were all subsequently demolished.</p><br>
<p>The interior has suffered extensive renovations and alterations through the years, and while the main staircase remains intact, only fragments of the once richly decorated spaces remain. All interior spaces have been modernized, and the original layout of the rooms has been altered, but still some mantels and fireplaces remain as artifacts of significance, giving a notion of the splendor once showcased by the interior.</p><br>

<p>The George Austin McHenry House is located in Stone County, Mississippi. It was constructed between 1895 and 1901 to serve as the family home of Dr. George McHenry. The structure was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.</p><br>
<h2>Background</h2><br>
<p>In 1889, Dr. George McHenry and his wife, Una, led a group of 54 families from Michigan to homestead in northern Harrison County, Mississippi. They settled in an area which would become part of Stone County, where the Gulf and Ship Island Railroad was under construction. George McHenry opened a general store and also handled the USA mail. A small town developed with timber-related industries that prospered because of the vast virgin pine forests of south Mississippi. A Post Office opened under the name of McHenry in honor of the settlement&#39;s founder. While Dr. McHenry was in military service during the Spanish–American War, his wife oversaw the construction and expansion of their family home.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The house is a two-story wood-frame structure with a steep-pitched roof, three gable projections, and a single chimney. The first story was completed in 1895, but the second story was not added until 1901. The original design included a wrap-around porch which was later modified. The building was constructed with virgin yellow pine lumber and rests on brick foundation piers. A one-story rear addition was completed in 1957.</p><br>
<p>The house has been used continuously as a single family dwelling by descendants of Dr. McHenry. As of 2013, it was the oldest surviving structure in the town of McHenry.</p><br>
<p>The Old Post Office is a historic building in Pullman, Washington listed on the National Register of Historic Places as USA Post Office-Pullman.

In 2002, a new owner began restoration of the building, leading to its NRHP listing in 2003. In 2005, the Old Post Office was home to a wine shop, a wine bar, a winery, and a café., the building is the home of Paradise Creek Brewery, a microbrewery and brewpub.</p><br>
<p>The old Belvidere High School is a complex of four connected buildings that reflect three different architectural styles: Classical Revival, Prairie School, and Art Deco. It is composed of the 1893 Garfield School, a 1900 powerhouse, the 1916 Belvidere High School, and the 1939 Belvidere High School Auditorium & Gymnasium.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The first public schooling in Belvidere, Illinois began in 1842. Classes were typically taught in churches or private residences. The first public school building built in the town was a stone building built in the 1850s. In 1893, the Garfield School was built just south of Washington High School for both grade and high school students. The two-story building originally had thirteen rooms. As Belvidere&#39;s population continued to grow, school officials struggled to prevent classrooms from overcrowding. In 1914, they determined that a new high school should replace the demolished Washington High School. In 1916, the new building, designed by Prairie School architect Grant C. Miller of Miller, Gullenwider & Dowling, was completed. The two buildings were together known as Belvidere High School. By 1938, the high school population of Belvidere High School grew to 500. The school district successfully applied for grants from the Public Works Administration, receiving over $62,000. Rockford architect Raymond A. Orput of Orput & Orput designed the resulting auditorium and gymnasium addition. The addition was one of the first buildings to use fluorescent lighting. US Representative Noah Mason dedicated the building. A new Washington School was built in 1956 for the junior high student population, and ten years later, the present Belvidere High School was completed. On July 25, 1997, the building complex was recognized by the National Park Service with a listing on the National Register of Historic Places. It received this distinction as a locally significant example of the Classical Revival, Prairie School, and Art Deco styles. The different buildings reflected the changing opinions of school architectural styles.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>Belvidere High School is located on the northeast cover of Pearl and First Streets. The four-building complex is connected by recent additions, although these connections do not negatively impact the historic integrity of the property. There is no record of an architect for the original 1893 Garfield School. The Garfield School stands two-and-a-half stories with a painted brick exterior. It is built on a coursed, rock face stone foundation and features a full raised basement. The hipped roof was clad with slate shingles. The main entrance was originally on the south facade facing First Street. Some time between 1912 and 1915, an addition was made to the north facade which nearly doubled the size of the structure. At this time, the main entrance to the school was changed to the western elevation. Fireproof stairways were installed in 1919. A two-story addition was completed on the east end in 1936. The Garfield School is in the Classical Revival style.</p><br>
<p>The 1900 power plant building was built to the northeast of the Garfield School. It is now connected to the 1916 building via an addition in the 1950s or 1960s. The building features of pyramidal hipped roof with a square cupola. A smoke stack rises near the south of the building. The base of the stack is octagonal and built with dark brown brick. The power plant provided heat to the complex.</p><br>
<p>In 1916, the main Belvidere High School was completed to the north of the 1893 building. This building combined elements of the Classical Revival with the popular Prairie School. The two-story building on a raised basement was built with dark brown brick. The roof is red tile, decorated with a brown terra cotta cornice. Large pilasters decorate the corners with terra cotta capitals and bases. The main entrance is on the west elevation. It is flanked with brick pilasters and sits below a decorative cornice. The original wood doors were replaced by modern aluminum ones in the 1950s or 1960s. Windows were originally double hung and wood sash, but are now mostly smaller one-over-one windows on a fixed panel; a few original windows remain on the north. A brick cafeteria addition was completed in the 1960s.</p><br>
<p>The 1939 Art Deco addition was built to the east of the 1893 building. The exterior of the building is concrete faced with stucco. Three bays are found on the south elevation and function as the main entrance. A large, recessed elliptical arch features prominently over the entrance. The arch features glass block designs. The center section of the arch had a panel for art glass; the original art has been replaced. The roof is flat.</p><br>
<p>The Kilauea Plantation or Kilauea Sugar Plantation was a large sugarcane plantation on the north side of Kauai island, Hawaii, including the community of Kilauea, Hawaii. It was owned and operated by the 1880-incorporated Kilauea Sugar Company, which became the Kilauea Sugar Plantation, Co. from 1899 on.</p><br>
<p>The original property was bought by an American, Charles Titcomb, from Kamehameha IV by 1863 who used it for cattle ranching. It was sold to Englishmen John Ross and E.P. Adams, who also leased additional land from Titcomb. Ross and Adams planted sugarcane, then incorporated a firm. It was operated as a plantation from 1880 to 1971.</p><br>
<h2>Historic buildings</h2><br>
<p>Several historic buildings of the plantation survive, and are listed on the USA National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). Among these are several stone buildings, of a local style that took advantage of fieldstone removed from sugarcane fields. Temporary railway tracks were laid down to transport the fieldstone from piles beside the fields to the building locations.</p><br>

<p>A similar combination post office and mine-rescue station was later built in Norton, Virginia. Norton is the only other USA community ever to have had a combined post office and mine-rescue station, although one was proposed for Hazard, Kentucky.</p><br>
<p>Centennial Neighborhood District is a national historic district located at Lafayette, Tippecanoe County, Indiana, United States. The area originated as the Bartholomew and Davis Additions to Lafayette in 1829. Growth came rapidly after the Wabash and Erie Canal arrived in 1843, and continued with the arrival of the railroad in 1853. The Centennial Neighborhood Historic District takes its name from the Centennial School, which was constructed in 1876 on the centennial of the nation. The school was located on the northeast corner of Brown Street at North 6th Street. It has since been removed and a park was created at its original location.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The area began to grow in the 1830s as the boundaries of Lafayette expanded north and east of the Wabash River. It was the introduction of the Wabash Canal in 1843 that led to rapid growth. The canal followed the route of Canal Road and the current tracks on the west side of the neighborhood. The area began to develop mills, warehouses and wharves serving the canal. The Reverend Samuel Johnson built a house in 1844 on the north east corner of Ferry and Sixth Streets, which is the oldest structure in the district. The following year, 1844, Richard DeHart House was constructed at 602 N. Fifth Street (northeast corner of Cincinnati and Fifth Streets). The canal growth came to a close with the arrival of the railroads in 1853. Five existing houses represent the canal era, located at 716 and 729 Brown Street, 636 Ferry Street and 713-715 North Fourth Street.</p><br>
<p>The Lafayette and Indianapolis Railroad (L&I) was the first railroad to arrive in Lafayette in 1852. It ended on Main Street near the current Amtrak Depot, in the Downtown Historic District several blocks south of the neighborhood. The New Albany and Salem Railroad, later called the Monon Railroad, arrived in 1853; this followed Fifth Street and began the growth of the area. The following year, 1854, the Wabash Railroad cut an angle along the Erie Street route, just east of the district. The railroads needed housing for their crews. The row house at 417-427 North Fourth Street (1870) is representative of the housing built during this boom.</p><br>
<p>More affluent residences were built along Ferry Street. Outstanding examples include the Handley House (874) at 632-634 Ferry Street and the Oppenheimer House at 604 North Sixth Street.</p><br>
<p>It was in this district that religious and educational structures predominated. St. Johns Episcopal Church was built from 1851 to 1858, and is the districts oldest surviving church. St. James Lutheran Church, Trinity Methodist Episcopal Church and St. Boniface Catholic Church were built during the 1860s and 1870s in the Gothic Revival style. Bethel African Methodist Episcopal Church began as Lafayette&#39;s first black school. The Albert A. Wells Memorial Public Library was built in 1928 and is an outstanding example of the Neoclassical style.</p><br>
<p>The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>

<p>The former Bowling Green Post Office is a historic governmental facility in downtown Bowling Green, Ohio, United States. Constructed in the early twentieth century, this post office features an unusual combination of distinctive architectural styles, and it has been named a historic site.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>Built in 1913 of brick with an asphalt roof, the post office features substantial amounts of sandstone. Its design, produced under the direction of Oscar Wenderoth, combines prominent elements of two common architectural styles of the early twentieth century. The arched windows display the influence of the Neo-Renaissance style, as do the side quoins and certain details of the portico. Meanwhile, the overall appearance of the facade is clearly Neoclassical, due to details in the portico, the architect&#39;s choice of smooth stone for the exterior walls, and the generally symmetrical appearance. One large window sits on either side of the main entrance, which is covered by a four-column portico; the pediment at the top of the portico features a central oculus.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Located in downtown Bowling Green, the post office lies at the northern end of the citys main commercial district. As Wood Countys leading post office and only substantial federal building, the post office was for many years among the most prominent buildings in the city. The building is no longer used for postal purposes, as the Postal Service moved to another facility in the late 1970s. Since that time, it had served as the Wood County Senior Citizens Center, but even in this new use, it retained its place as a landmark for residents countywide: the Wood County Committee on Aging, which operates numerous centers countywide, used the building as its headquarters.</p><br>
<p>In 1979, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places, qualifying because of its distinctive historic architecture. It is one of five National Register-listed sites in the city, along with the Main Street Historic District a short distance to the south, the county courthouse downtown, Floral Hall in a city park, and the Boom Town Historic District on the west side.</p><br>
<p>In 2020 it was announced that the building would receive a significant change. Preparation for demolition of the building except for the facade began in December of 2021.</p><br>
<p>Yates Tavern, also known as Yancy Cabin, is a historic tavern located near Gretna, Pittsylvania County, Virginia. The building dates to the late-18th or early-19th century, and is a two-story, frame building sheathed in weatherboard. It measures approximately 18 feet by 24 feet and has eight-inch jetty on each long side at the second-floor level. It is representative of a traditional hall-and-parlor Tidewater house. The building was occupied by a tavern in the early-19th century. It was restored in the 1970s.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.</p><br>
<p>Hill Grove School is a historic school for African American children located at Hurt, Pittsylvania County, Virginia. It was built in 1915, and is a small, simple single-story, weatherboarded, light-frame building on a fieldstone foundation, with a low-pitched side-gable roof. It features a single-bay, tin-covered, shed roof porch</p><br>
<p>supported by two-by-four lumber over the entrance. The school closed in the early 1960s.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004.</p><br>
<p>Camp Sloggett in Kokee State Park near Kokee, Hawaii, is a historic site with significance from 1921. It is within state lands but has buildings owned by the Kauai Young Womens Christian Association.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on both the Hawaiʻi Register of Historic Places and the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) on August 5, 1993. The NRHP listing included one contributing building and one contributing structure, as well as four non-contributing buildings and structures.</p><br>
<p>It was deemed significant "as a surviving example of camp architecture from the early 1920s and for its associations with the Sloggett family and the YWCA." The Kauai YWCA took ownership in 1964 and tried to run it as a traditional YWCA-type camp providing one or two week camp experiences for children; this proved unworkable and the YWCA since operated it as a fee-for-services camp available to various groups.</p><br>
<p>Upper Main Street Historic District is a national historic district located at Lafayette, Tippecanoe County, Indiana. Sixth Street was the City of Lafayette&#39;s eastern boundary when it was originally platted. By 1840, the boundary was extended to include Lake Erie and Wabash Railroad at Eleventh Street. This area became the cities commercial center. Businesses around Eleventh Street developed to meet the traveling publics needs. The Enterprise Hotel, at 1015 Main Street, as well as the Alt Heidelberg, American Lafayette and the Derby Hotel were early established by 1899.</p><br>

<p>The Henry Lassen House is a historic house located at 605 South Hoff in El Reno, Oklahoma.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The three-story, Neoclassical-style residence was built after the Land Run of 1889 but prior to 1895, and was first owned by A.F. and Sadie Masterman. It was purchased in August 1898 by Henry Lassen, a resident of El Reno who was instrumental in the early history of the city, and his wife Mary. Between the end of 1901 and the summer of 1904, the house underwent major renovations, including the addition of a third story and construction of a two-story high, wraparound porch with large, regal-looking columns.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on September 4, 2008.</p><br>
<p>The Canadian County Jail and Stable comprises two buildings constructed at different times. The jail is a building located at 318 North Evans in El Reno, Oklahoma. It is the abandoned site of the county jail of Canadian County, and sits west of the current county jail on the same block.</p><br>
<p>The stable, located at 261 W. Rogers was listed in 1995. The stable was built sometime between 1908 and 1913. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) in 1985.</p><br>
<p>The jail and stable are the oldest remaining county government structures in Canadian County.</p><br>
<h2>Jail Building</h2><br>
<p>Designed by noted Oklahoma architect Solomon Andrew Layton, in partnership with W. J. Riley, and built by A.C. Kreipke, the jail was designed and built between 1904 and 1907, while the stable was built between 1908 and 1913. The jail is an example of Layton&#39;s early Oklahoma work, and features unusual Italian Renaissance characteristics for a utilitarian building like a county incarceration facility. It is the only public building that Layton designed in El Reno which is still standing; it is also the oldest intact county government building in Canadian County.</p><br>
<h3>Jail description - exterior</h3><br>
<p>The jail is a two-story, masonry building that has a symmetrical, T-shaped floor plan, about 47 feet by 58 feet. The exterior walls have alternating horizontal bands of rustic faces and smooth wide surfaces. These are interrupted by the vertical openings of windows and doors. The banded walls appear to rest on a base of smooth stone that terminates about 4 feet above grade with a water table. The west elevation is the front of the building. The main entrance has two doors, with a Doric column at each side, topped with a pediment and entablature. The other major wall openings contain tall, wood-framed windows. Except for the windows flanking the main entrance, the windows are covered with iron bars and red-painted screens. The upper windows contain diagonal muntins.</p><br>
<p>A single brick chimney penetrates the roof, which is covered with composition shingles. Inspection of the chimney about the time of the NRHP application showed that it needed unspecified repairs.</p><br>
<p>Several alterations have been made during the building&#39;s history. For example, air-conditioning units project from three of the windows. A structure</p><br>
<p>added during the 1970s connected the jail with an existing building described as a carriage house (sic). The additional structure was removed in 1991, and the door that connected it to the jail was filled with concrete blocks. Another exterior addition, providing more office space, was constructed along the east wall between 1954 and 1960. It connected the jail to the stable. This addition was also removed in 1991.</p><br>
<h2>Jail closure</h2><br>
<p>The Oklahoma State Health Department ordered Canadian County officials to close the upper floor jail cells in October, 1982, because the building did not have a fire escape. The first floor of the building was allowed to remain open until a new jail facility could be finished. Part of the old jail was used for county offices until October 1986, and was then used to store guns, alcohol and drugs confiscated by county deputies.</p><br>
<p>The William I. and Magdalen M. Goff House, also known as the Goff House, is a residential structure in El Reno, Oklahoma. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988, it was built in 1901 and is a landmark in the city of El Reno. It has undergone very few exterior changes since its construction before statehood.</p><br>
<p>The two-story, Colonial Revival-style house has a circular tower and wraparound porch characteristic of Queen Anne style architecture.</p><br>
<p>Avant&#39;s Cities Service Station is a historic service station located at 220 S. Choctaw in El Reno, Oklahoma. The Art Deco building was constructed in 1933 as a service station for Cities Service Company to fuel automobiles traveling on USA Route 66. The station was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2004.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The station was constructed in 1933 to provide fuel to travelers on Route 66, which was designated in 1926 and marked through El Reno in 1927. It was built at the site of the Campbell Hotel, which was demolished to allow for the station&#39;s construction. The hotel had primarily catered to railroad travelers; as automobile travel rose in popularity, the hotel lost business and closed. Tom Avant managed the station on behalf of the Cities Service Company, which leased the station from A. D. Connelly, for its first years of operation.</p><br>
<p>While the station competed for business with the Jackson Conoco Service Station at the same intersection, it still faced less competition than most Route 66 stations, four of which were often situated on the same corner. In fact, the two stations had no history of contentious competition despite their proximity, a sign that both received sufficient business from travelers on the highway. The station survived a contraction in the gas station business during World War II, though it changed ownership during the period; it continued to operate well into the postwar period, albeit under different owners and affiliations. By 1948, the station became a Phillips 66 affiliate and was owned by William J. Schulte. The station became a Texaco affiliate in the 1960s and passed through a succession of owners during the decade. As Interstate 40 bypassed Route 66 in the 1960s, traffic to the station declined after the decade. The station has since been converted to a muffler store, which is still in business.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>Avants Cities Service Station is designed in the Art Deco style; the building also features Moderne influences. The station was originally built with an office and a service bay; the original service bay was eventually converted to office space, and four additional service bays were added to the north end of the building. The concrete building features a flat roof with a zig-zag parapet rising to a peak at the center of the original office sections roof line. Stepped pilasters marked by vertical lines frame the central window below the parapet; additional pillars adjoin the offices door, which is located in the original bay. The stations appearance reflects the design standards of Cities Service, which promoted Moderne styles and allowed individual owners more say in station design. These practices contrasted with most of the companys competitors, who preferred more familiar domestic designs. To promote Cities Service, the station was originally painted white with green trim and featured the companys logo under the parapet; a recessed circle and empty light socket still mark the location of the logo.</p><br>

<p>The Cordelia A. Culbertson House is a historic house located at 1188 Hillcrest Ave. in Pasadena, California. Built in 1911, the house was designed by prominent Pasadena architects Charles and Henry Greene. The Greenes designed the house in the Craftsman style; the design also features Chinese elements throughout, particularly on the south side of the home. Both styles frequently appeared in Greene and Greenes designs, and the houses U-shaped floor plan can also be seen in the brothers other houses. However, the home features gunite exterior walls and a tile roof, a unique combination among the Greenes works. An Italian garden is situated at the center of the home. The house was built for Cordelia, Kate, and Margaret Culbertson, three unmarried sisters; Cordelia, the eldest sister, officially commissioned the house. In 1917 the house was purchased by the wealthy widow Mrs. Dudley P. Allen of Cleveland, Ohio. She purchased it as a summer home that she enjoyed with her second husband Francis F. Prentiss, who later died there in 1937.</p><br>
<p>The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on September 12, 1985.</p><br>
<h2>Breakdown: The Cordelia A. Culbertson House by Greene and Greene</h2><br>
<p>The Cordelia A. Culbertson House has been an example of innovation and the American Craftsman architectural style. since its construction in 1913. Placed on the National Register of Historic Places, the house was designed by prominent Pasadena architects Charles and Henry Greene and was the last major house they designed as a duo. Priced at $150,000 at the time, it was their largest commission to date. The house features Chinese-inspired elements throughout, particularly on the south side of the home. It features a unique combination compared to other Greene and Greene works that make the house stand out among them. The house was built for the three Culbertson sisters; while Cordelia, the eldest, officially commissioned the house, they only resided in the house for four years.</p><br>
<h2>Greene and Greene</h2><br>
<p>Architects Charles and Henry Greene became famous in the architectural sphere due to their expertise in craftsmanship. They are responsible for many great works, perhaps their most memorable being the Gamble house. In their career they designed and developed more than 100 homes and a total of 150 projects. The Greenes became successful off of their organic style and adaptation to natural landscapes with staple designs such as courtyards, U-shaped forms, earth tones, and scaffold-like exteriors. Most Greene and Greene houses are situated in suburban sites of limited area</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Cordelia house is situated across the street from the famous Robert R. Blacker house. The house was commissioned by Cordelia Culbertson in 1911 and was completed in 1913. It was occupied by three sisters, Cordelia, Kate, and Margaret Culbertson for just four years before being sold due to the price of upkeep. Mrs. Dudley P. Allen of Cleveland, Ohio, (remarried as Mrs. Francis Fleury Prentiss) bought the house in 1917, as a summer home with her second husband Francis F. Prentiss, who later died there in 1937. After purchasing she continued to commission the Greenes for more than 20 projects over the next two decades including furniture for the home and minor alterations and repairs. While the Cordelia house was the last of the pairs commissioned house as a duo they continued designing individually and each developed their own style.</p><br>
<h2>Exterior design</h2><br>
<p>The Cordelia A. Culbertson House features many design elements that stray from Greene and Greenes traditional aesthetic. Notably could be the light-colored gunite finish when most Greene homes feature earth-toned shingles. Gunite is a mixture of concrete and sand that is sprayed on a surface, it almost acts as a stucco or plaster finish. The house differs from other commissions as it is a single-story home contrasting with its seemingly massive neighbors such as the Blacker house. The single-story silhouette was chosen by the Culbertson sisters who all wanted bedrooms on the upper level. The Greenes returned to their signature courtyard plan, wrapping rooms around a central garden. The home features a notable Asian influence with a rustic green-tiled roof that is reminiscent of a Chinese pagoda.</p><br>
<h2>Interior</h2><br>
<p>The interior of the house features many Chinese and classical motifs. The house has seven bedrooms and six bathrooms, the house itself is 8,559 square feet while the property spans more than 30,000 square feet. The formal entry hall has a luxurious feeling with plaster wall finishes, velour fabric, and rather exotic marble. This is brought together by custom dark wood furniture by Charles Greene that are angular and sharp in form. The new owner, Mrs. Dudley P. Allen, commissioned Charles for five scenic painted panels in the entry all which add to the overall elegance of the space.</p><br>
<h2>Historical landmark</h2><br>
<p>The Cordelia A. Culbertson House was placed on the National Register of Historic Places by the United States Department of the Interior in 1985. Generally, properties that are eligible to be placed on the list must be at least 50 years old and noted to be incredibly influential or important.</p><br>
<p>The House at 530 S. Marengo Avenue is a historic house in Pasadena, California. Built in 1905, the American Craftsman house was designed by Pasadena architect Louis B. Easton. Easton was one of several prominent Craftsman architects in Pasadena in the early 1900s; the house at 530 S. Marengo, located next to his own self-designed house at 540 S. Marengo, was one of his earliest designs. The house features exposed beams and hand-carved joint work in the spirit of the Craftsman style, which emphasized function over form. The interior of the home was inspired by homes in The Craftsman, Gustav Stickleys architecture magazine, which ultimately featured some of Eastons later works.</p><br>
<p>The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on September 13, 1979.</p><br>
<p>The Frank A. and Rae E. Harris Kramer House is a private house located at 221 North Center Avenue in Gaylord, Michigan. It was designated a Michigan State Historic Site in 1993 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2003.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>

<p>The Johannesburg Manufacturing Company Store is a company store located at 10816 M-32 East in Johannesburg, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2009.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Johannesburg Manufacturing Company was incorporated in 1901 by lumbermen Ernest Salling, Rasmus Hanson, and Nels Michelson. The trio built Johannesburg as a lumber mill and company town, in the same way as they had built the nearby towns of Grayling, Salling, and Lewiston. The first building constructed in the new town was this company store, which was used as the headquarters of the company.</p><br>
<p>The store offered hay, grain, ice, and bulky items from sheds behind the store building. The building also housed the offices of the Johannesburg Manufacturing Company until 1916, when they moved to a nearby bank building. The Johannesburg Manufacturing Company lasted until 1929, with the mill cutting over 300 million board feet and employing as many as 200 people. When the mill ceased operations, the lands and buildings were offered for sale at inexpensive prices, with former employees getting preference. Company accountant Alfred Larsen purchased this building in 1929.</p><br>
<p>Larsen operated the store until 1942, when he sold the store to Andrew (Buck) Philips, who then sold it in 1945 to Howard Kelly. The Kellys operated the store until 1979, living in the upstairs space that had once housed the company offices. The building was vacant from 1979 to 1991, when it was sold again to William and Norma Lange who opened an antique store. The store closed a few years later, and in 2000 it was sold to Scott and Vicki Courtier. The Courtiers in turn sold it to Stacy Jo Schiller and Barton Briley, who as of 2010 planned to restore the building.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Johannesburg Manufacturing Company Store is a flat=roofed balloon-frame building on a fieldstone foundation covered with clapboard and consisting of two parts: a deep rectangular two-story section, and smaller L-shaped one-story section attached to one side having the same setback as the larger section. The two-story section measures 28 feet by 80 feet. The single story section forms an L shape, 34 feet wide by 48 feet deep. An additional rectangular one-story extension was once behind the two-story portion, but was demolished in about 1970.</p><br>
<p>The two-story section has a first-floor storefront with large windows set on low paneled bulkheads. A recessed, slant-sided entrance is located in the center of the front facade and a second diagonal entry at the corner. The second floor of the two-story section contains paired square-head one-over-one windows. The single story section contains three entries, one in the center and one at each end. A pair of palladian windows is spaced between the entrances.</p><br>
<p>The interior of the building originally housed the company store on the first floor of the two-story section, with a rooming house upstairs. The one story part housed the company offices and a barber shop. One of the doors in the single-story section leads to a staircase to the upper floor of the two-story section.</p><br>
<p>Downtown Lafayette Historic District is a national historic district located at Lafayette, Tippecanoe County, Indiana. Lafayette began in 1825 as a transportation center for the west central area of Indiana. Its development and growth reflects the changes in transportation over the intervening years. From its location along the Wabash River, it grew first with river travel then for a short while from the Wabash and Erie Canal. When the railroads arrived in the 1850s, the town began to grow, initially along the rail lines. The Downtown Lafayette Historic District reflects these early changes.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Lafayette was settled here, because of the nearness of the Wabash River. William Digby platted the town in 1825. The boundaries were the river on the west, Sixth Street on the east, with North Street and South Street creating the north and south edges. Development followed along with the advances in transportation.</p><br>
<p>The first period of expansion began with the construction of a log courthouse in 1829. The second period of expansion began in 1843 with the arrival of the Wabash and Erie Canal, connecting the county with Toledo and markets on the east coast. The courthouse was replaced with a brick building and Fifth Street was widened to create an open market.</p><br>
<p>Within a decade, the railroads arrived in town and the third period of expansion began. The Lafayette & Indianapolis Railroad was the first railroad to arrive in Lafayette in 1852. In 1853, the New Albany and Salem Railroad, later called the Monon Railroad that arrived, following Fifth Street. The following year, 1854, the Wabash Line cut across the southeast corner of the city, crossing Main Street at Eleventh.</p><br>
<p>The railroads spurred the growth of the town by expanding its markets. Commercial structures such as the Hatcher Building, 1865; the Milwaukee Block, 1866; the Perrin Building, 1877; and many other buildings along Main Street reflect this period of growth.</p><br>

<p>The Natchez Bluffs and Under-the-Hill Historic District is a 75 acre historic district that was listed on the USA National Register of Historic Places in 1972. It is roughly bounded by S. Canal St., Broadway, and the Mississippi River.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The name Natchez-Under-the-Hill may date to the days of British West Florida, as the name form is "so unlike American patterns" whereas English placenames abound in constructions like Stratford-Upon-Avon and Stow-on-the-Wold.</p><br>
<p>The "Under-the-Hill" area once contained all of Natchez, i.e. about 20 buildings at the time of the American Revolutionary War. Gradually houses were built on the bluffs above, an "Upper Town" emerged, and eventually the center of Natchez shifted. Sexton&#39;s records for Natchez show that in addition to the Forks of the Road slave market just outside of town there were occasional slave traders operating at Natchez Under the Hill.</p><br>
<p>The districts primary historic assets are the Natchez landing site ("Under the Hill") and, on the bluff above, a city park area which includes the site of the second French Fort Rosalie, built during 1730–34. The landing site area was where the Natchez Trace began. The area was frequented by gamblers, river pirates, highwaymen, and prostitutes and was described, in 1810, as a place such that "...for the size of it, there is not, perhaps in the world, a more dissipated spot." The fort was renamed Fort Panmure by the British after they took possession following the 1756-1763 Seven Years War, then later fell into ruin. In 1971, the district area included six "dilapidated" brick buildings on Silver Street of uncertain age.</p><br>
<p>The Fort Rosalie portion of the district is included in the Natchez National Historical Park. A map delineating the district appears on page 15 in its NRHP nomination document.</p><br>
<p>The majority of the early Jewish immigrants to Natchez arrived from Alsace–Lorraine (which was then a territory of the German Empire) and the Kingdom of Bavaria around the 1840s and 1850s, and they gravitated toward merchant roles in dry goods and clothing in the neighborhood of Natchez Under-the-Hill.</p><br>
<p>St. Mary Historic District is a national historic district located at Lafayette, Tippecanoe County, Indiana. In 1864, St. Mary&#39;s Catholic Church relocated from its original site at Fifth and Brown Streets to Columbia Street. With the move, many of the congregation also moved to this area. The Church became both a religious and social center for the neighborhood.</p><br>
<p>Many of the homes date from the 1860s and 1870s and include fine examples of the Italianate, Greek Revival and Queen Anne styles as well as vernacular house types. Most of the people who built in this area were Lafayette businessmen. At 1202 Columbia Street James Ball, a local wholesale grocer left his name stamped into the front steps. Across the street is the James H. Ward House, who along with his brother, William, owned a local carpet and wallpaper business.</p><br>
<p>James Murdock House moved onto Columbia Street in approximately 1891 after he left Michigan City, where he had been the warden of the state prison He was the operator of a grocery and produce business and in bridge and road construction. The home was sold to Ferdinand Dryfus who, with his brother Leopold, ran the Dryfus Packing and Provision Company.</p><br>
<p>All structures are historically ‘Notable’ or ‘Outstanding’ examples within the Historic District. An ‘O’ rating signifies that the structure had enough historic or architectural significance to be considered for individual listing in the National Register of Historic Places. The ‘N’ rating signifies that the structure is above average and may, with further investigation be eligible for an individual listing. The contributing structures meet the basic inventory qualifications, but fails to meet individual merit, but in combination with other closely placed similar structures warrants inclusion in an historic district.</p><br>

<p>The Clifton Heights Historic District is a 26 acre historic district in Natchez, Mississippi, USA. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982. It then included 41 contributing buildings.</p><br>
<p>In 1888, the neighborhood started as a subdivision, one of the first in Natchez by the Clifton Heights Improvement Corporation. Its historic buildings were built mostly during 1888–1910 in Queen Anne and Colonial Revival styles of architecture. It includes all three known Natchez examples of Shingle Style articles, at 217, 219, and 310 Linton Avenue, and also the only known Tudor architecture in Natchez. Other architecture also appears.</p><br>
<p>The district was deemed significant as "the most architecturally and historically significant collection of late nineteenth and early twentieth-century residences in Natchez".</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>Clifton Heights Historic District is located at an elevation more than 200 feet above the Mississippi River. The district is split up from the river by steep bluffs, the jagged edges of which the historic district&#39;s western boundary of the western side is formed, and by the low-lying lands underneath the bluffs from which the river bank is formed. The district emerged on the grounds of and got its name from Clifton, the early 19th-century suburban mansion that was demolished in 1863 at the time of the Union occupation of Natchez. The district was established as one of the first corporate subdivisions of the city back in the late 19th century. Its boundaries are the same as the 1888 subdivision plat, with the exception of the northern side of Maple Street. This part used to be known as Cemetery Road and is located east of Ridge Alley and Postlethwaite Alley. This area was developed after adjoining the streets to the west. While being developed, it did not maintain the character of the primary Clifton Heights development.</p><br>
<h2>Significance</h2><br>
<p>The Historic District illustrates the most architecturally and historically remarkable collection of late 19th and early 20th century houses in Natchez. The localitys architectural significance is based on the high degree of architectural finish portrayed by many houses and their overall integrity. Situated inside the district boundaries are the only Natchez examples of the Shingle and Tudor Styles, as well as some of the towns finest examples of Queen Anne and Colonial Revival architecture. Clifton Heights was one of the earliest corporate subdivisions of Natchez which was created in 1888 by the Clifton Heights Improvement Corporation. Partners Isaac Lowenburg and Henry Frank were remarkable Natchez merchants. They acquired the land from the Surget family, whose splendid mansion in Clifton was demolished by the Union Army at the time of the Civil War occupation of the city. However, the Historic District got its initial historical importance from its connection to the Jewish community of Natchez.</p><br>
<p>Most of the houses were built for famous Natchez Jewish families⁠—the elegance of the residences shows the town&#39;s Jewish citizens’ prosperity and prominence in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The Jewish citizens of Natchez were less affected economically by the Civil War than the Natchez planters. They were mainly engaged in the mercantile business. After the war, their business flourished, and they played leading roles in the cultural, social, economic, and political life of Natchez in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The Jewish community was responsible for constructing most of the magnificent post-Civil War commercial and residential establishments of Natchez. However, the community has dwindled to a small number of families who are failing to assist the services of a rabbi.</p><br>
<p>The Parson Smith Tree is a historic tree in the Okanogan–Wenatchee National Forest in Okanogan County, Washington, located 19 ft south of the Canada–US border. In 1886, prospector and trapper Alfred L.  Smith passed the tree during a trek through the wilderness. Smith stopped to carve the following poem into the tree:</p><br>
<p>I have roamed in foreign parts my boys,</p><br>
<p>And many lands have seen,</p><br>
<p>But Columbia is my idol yet</p><br>
<p>Of all lands, she is Queen.</p><br>
<p>As the tree was located in a remote area away from existing trails, the poem went unnoticed until 1902 or 1903, when surveyor John Bell noticed the tree during his work. The tree came to the attention of the USA Forest Service when a ranger saw the tree in 1913. The Forest Service built a shelter over the tree in 1913 in order to preserve it. The tree, which has since died, was marked by a sign and was accessible via a hiking trail.</p><br>
<p>The tree was added to the National Register of Historic Places on March 16, 1972.</p><br>
<p>After getting damaged by a bear, the tree was relocated to the Early Winters Ranger Station in 1980, before being relocated again to the Methow Valley Ranger Station in Winthrop at a later date, where it currently resides.</p><br>

<p>The former Fremont High School is a former school building located at 204 East Main Street in Fremont, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2013.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Fremont school system was established in the 1850s with the construction of a plank school in the center of town. This soon proved inadequate, and another school was established between Fremont and nearby Elm Corners in 1865. In 1876, Fremont built a brick school at the site of the present structure, and enlarged it in 1888. This structure was soon dedicated to the high school classes, with the primary school moved to a different location.</p><br>
<p>At the start of the 20th century, the school faced serious overcrowding, and an annex was added in 1909. Still, by 1925, the increase in students and the deterioration of the high school building led the school district to approve a bond measure in late 1925. The bond issue raised $200,000, and the district hired Lansing architect Judson N. Churchill, who specialized in educational buildings, to design a new high school. Construction began in 1926, and students moved into the new facilities in February 1927. The new school incorporated the 1909 addition from the earlier building; the remainder of the earlier building was demolished.</p><br>
<p>An addition housing the manual arts classes and a bus garage was constructed in 1946, and a second addition for the shop and music facilities was constructed in 1955. In 1961, a new athletic facility, not connected to the 1926 high school, was constructed one block south. The school district hired the Lansing firm of Warren S. Holmes Company to design the building. In 1984, the old 1909 addition was demolished; in 1988 the original courtyard was filled in with a new structure, and the 1961 athletic facility was connected to the 1926 building.</p><br>
<p>By 2009, the district had decided that a new school was necessary. They began work on a new high school building to the south of town, and students moved to that facility in fall of 2012. As of 2013, the previous high school building was vacant,</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The former Fremont High School consists of three distinct sections. The first is the original two-story yellow and tan brick Arts and Crafts-inspired 1926 school building.
