<p>North Carolina Polytechnic Academy, founded as Hillsborough Military Academy and also known as North Carolina Military Academy, was a school in Hillsborough, North Carolina. Col. Charles C. Tew CSA founded Hillsborough Military Academy. He was later killed in action at Battle of Antietam in 1862 on the eve of his promotion to brigadier general. Architect John A. Kay designed the Hillsborough Military Academy barracks building and commandant&#39;s house. Edmund Strudwick was the doctor for the Hillsborough Military Academy in the 1860s and cared for soldiers wounded in the Civil War at his home nearby.</p><br>
<p>The commandant&#39;s house is a two-story, roughly square, castellated brick building in the Gothic Revival style. It is three bays wide and three bays deep and has rectangular turrets at each corner.</p><br>
<p>After the war the school was run by Colonel White and then General Raleigh E. Colston. The curriculum was revised in 1867 to include civil courses. The North Carolina state legislature changed the name to the North Carolina Military and Polytechnic Academy and established a program in which eight students could attend the school free of charge in return for two years of teaching in the state. This last reincarnation of the Military Academy was a failure and General Colston relocated to Wilmington, North Carolina in 1868.</p><br>
<p>In 1872 Paul C. Cameron purchased the Academy buildings and in 1874 convinced James H. Horner of the Horner School and Ralph H. Graves of the Graves School in Oxford, North Carolina to "remove to the Military Academy buildings". The new school also failed two years later due to the illness of Horner and the death of Graves.</p><br>
<p>The Cameron family sold the property to the Farmers’ Alliance in 1895 and it was sold to a developer in 1919. The barracks and outbuildings were dismantled and the bricks used the construction of other buildings. The headquarters building became part of the National Register of Historic Places in 1972 and became a private residence known as the "Commandant’s House" while the academy&#39;s chapel remains in use as a parish of The United Episcopal Church of North America.</p><br>
<p>Chapman Coal Company Garage and Stable is a historic site in the District of Columbia. It is located at 57 N Street NW in Washington. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on October 23, 2013.</p><br>
<p>The site was redeveloped in 2016–2018 into a 114-unit mixed-use condominium complex named Chapman Stables. The developer, Four Points LLC, converted the original building into 36 condominiums, and built a new five-story adjacent building with an additional 78 units.</p><br>
<p>Burlington Community Swimming Pools and Bathhouse in Burlington, Wisconsin, is a historic property that was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on October 23, 2013.</p><br>
<p>The property, located at 394 Amanda Street, consists of a swimming pool and bathhouse that were privately built in 1965. It was listed on the National Register as an "excellent example of contemporary style architecture," including the use of prestressed and precast concrete structural members manufactured in the local area. It was designed by Carl Iverson.</p><br>
<p>Peacock Brewery, also known at times as the Rockford Brewing Company and the Rock River Brewing Company, is a historic pair of buildings on the east side of the Rock River in Rockford, Illinois, United States. It was Rockford&#39;s largest brewery for almost seventy years.</p><br>
<h2>Origin</h2><br>
<p>British immigrant Jonathan Peacock moved to Rockford, Illinois in 1849. Peacock had learned the brewing trade in England before working in Chicago&#39;s Lill & Diversey brewery. He purchased a house on Madison Street and began to brew beer in the back. Peacock ground malt in a coffee mill, brewed it in a wash boilers, and delivered his product to customers via wheelbarrow. With the connection of the Galena and Chicago Union Railroad to Rockford in 1852, Peacock was ready to serve the droves of immigrants that followed.</p><br>
<p>By 1857, Peacock&#39;s operation had grown to a point where he could no longer simply brew out of the back of his home. He built a new brewhouse next door to meet demand. In the summer of 1894, a fire ravaged the brewhouse. Peacock immediately rebuilt, but died two years later. His sons, Frank and Edward, inherited the business. Under their leadership, the brewery produced over 20,000 barrels of beer per year. The most popular beer was Nikolob. Both sons died of tuberculosis in 1899, and the brewery was sold to Croatian immigrant John V. Petritz.</p><br>
<h2>1900s</h2><br>
<p>John Petritz had moved out west to Montana in the 1880s and made a fortune in liquor production and distribution. After he decided to move back east, he decided to purchase a large brewery. With the Peacock Brewery under his ownership, he hired St. Louis architects Widmann, Walsh & Boisscher to design a large, modern brewhouse. Replacing the older brewhouse, the $100,000 brewhouse had state-of-the-art technology and advanced production to 75,000 barrels a year. Petritz renamed the company the Rockford Brewing Company. He purchased a bottling company in 1900, replacing it with a newer building in 1902.</p><br>
<h3>Prohibition</h3><br>
<p>Petritz struggled to keep up with new liquor license and tax laws in the early 20th century. By 1916, he had accrued 270 violations and faced fines exceeding $2,000. In 1917, Winnebago County passed a law enforcing prohibition. Petritz ignored the law and continued to produce beer at his brewhouse. John V. Petritz, his son Frank, and manager Earl Blewfeld were arrested that year for the violations. Judge of the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois Kenesaw Mountain Landis oversaw the trial, which became a local media sensation. Petritz was forced to pay a combined $15,000 to the city and county in a settlement for 1,250 violations of liquor laws. The license for the Rockford Brewing Company expired in 1918 and was not renewed.</p><br>
<h3>Rock River Brewing Company</h3><br>
<p>Petritz used the old brewing buildings to start a new warehousing business. Another one of his sons, John G., tried to restart the brewery after prohibition ended. Sold under the name Petritz, the beer was produced in Chicago and bottled in the Rockford buildings. One of his partners, Samuel Hirsch, bought out the other partners in 1937 and changed the name to the Rock River Brewing Company. Producing Coronet Old Vat and Grand Prize beers, the brewery finally came to a closure in 1945.</p><br>
<h2>2000s</h2><br>
<p>On November 22, 2011, the brewery buildings were recognized by the National Park Service with a listing on the National Register of Historic Places. It was highlighted as the featured property of the week.</p><br>
<p>Today, the building is undergoing renovation towards being reopened as Rockford Brewery in spring 2014. The Ice Cellar Bar, one of three event rooms has been updated with a 10-line draft system and changeable colored LED lights set into he base of the copper lined bar. The lighting overhead is now renovated to LED lights shine through a surface that resemble the blocks of ice once stored in this room. The overhead lights are made from ancient beer and liquor bottles, many produced here originally. The bar&#39;s copper lining is the same aged color as the copper vats once used in the brewing process. The beams and bar supports are raw steel as was commonly used in the industrial age.</p><br>
<p>Winchester Dam is a dam on the North Umpqua River in Winchester, Oregon, United States. Constructed in 1890, the dam was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1996.</p><br>
<p>The Winchester Dam was made from large timber cribs. Originally, the dam was a mere four feet high, which was raised to sixteen feet in 1907. The dam was the main source of water and electricity for the town of Roseburg until 1923. The dam&#39;s hydropower facilities have long since been removed, and the structure is now maintained solely for the recreational benefit of the Winchester Water Control District, composed of the private landowners surrounding the reservoir pool.</p><br>
<h2>Public Safety</h2><br>
<p>The dam is officially categorized as "high hazard" by the Oregon Department of Water Resources, primarily due to likely loss of life in the case of dam failure among the people who frequent the river, parks, and boat ramps just downstream. Following an annual inspection in October 2019, state officials downgraded Winchester Dam’s condition to "poor," requested that the owners hire an engineer to comprehensively inspect its structure, and warned the owners to address known dam safety issues soon. According to the 2019 inspection report, Winchester Dam has not received a comprehensive structural inspection, nor have the owners updated the dam&#39;s required emergency action plan, since 1987.</p><br>
<h2>Repairs</h2><br>
<p>In January 2020, the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality levied a $58,378 fine for violations during a repair at Winchester Dam in late 2018. According to DEQ, pollution from this repair degraded aquatic habitat, killed numerous fish, and harmed the primary drinking water source for the City of Roseburg and the Umpqua Basin Water Association – serving approximately 37,700 people combined. Officials found that dam repairs were conducted without following established best management practices, even after state and federal agencies provided information in advance on how to protect water quality and fish.</p><br>
<p>Repairs conducted in August of 2023 and inadequate fish salvage efforts by the Winchester Water Control District (WWCD) led to the loss of 550,000 Pacific Lamprey. In October 2023, the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife opened a $27 million lawsuit against the WWCD and the company contracted to perform repairs on the dam for the WWCD&#39;s negligence.</p><br>
<h2>Impact to migratory fish</h2><br>
<p>In 1994, conservation group Oregon Natural Resources Council released a report titled "Damnable Dams" which called for the removal of a number of Pacific Northwest dams, including Winchester Dam, because of the harm these structures caused to salmon and other fish. Since then, other dams on the "Damnable Dams" list have come down, including Savage Rapids, Elk Creek, and Gold Ray dams in southern Oregon. However, Winchester Dam has remained.</p><br>
<p>In 2013, the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife placed Winchester Dam on the Statewide Fish Passage Priority List, an official listing of Oregon&#39;s top artificial obstructions to native migratory fish. In 2019, Winchester Dam was raised to the second highest ranked privately-owned dam on the Statewide Fish Passage Priority List, where it is noted for impeding passage to 160 miles of high quality habitat for spring Chinook, fall Chinook, summer steelhead, winter steelhead, cutthroat trout, and Pacific Lamprey, as well as Southern Oregon Coast Coho which are listed as threatened under the Endangered Species Act.</p><br>
<p>Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife staff maintain and operate the Winchester Dam’s fish ladder through an easement providing access, but lack a substantive written system or analysis for maximizing fish passage efficiency at different flows. Winchester’s ladder has a number of right angle turns and the ability to control flow velocities in the ladder is limited, making it difficult to pass fish at a wide range of flows. In mid-2019, after the dam owners objected, state officials declined the offer of seventeen conservation and fishing groups to fully fund an aquatic engineer to independently analyze the ladder and create a comprehensive system for maximizing ladder efficiency at different flows.</p><br>
<h2>Fish counting station</h2><br>
<p>There is a fish counting station maintained by the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife here. At the station, biologists count fish to monitor population, design management methods, and prescribe angling regulations. Although the fish ladder at Winchester Dam does not meet current federal standards for passing fish, it has generated information for fishery management decisions since 1945. Since 2015, funding for fish counting at the station has been significantly reduced, and local fishermen have questioned the accuracy of the station&#39;s results.</p><br>
<p>Monticello Arcade is a historic shopping arcade located in Norfolk, Virginia. It was built in 1907 on land leased from the Selden Grandy Estate, and is a three-story, Beaux Arts style steel frame building faced in molded and polychromed terra cotta. Both the facades are seven bays in length and are composed of a two-story Ionic order surmounted by an elaborate cornice, with an attic story above. The interior plan consists of a longitudinal mall open to the roof, lit by skylights,</p><br>
<p>and entered through the central bay of each facade.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In the early 20th century, business boomed in the Arcade as downtown Norfolks commercial area expanded until the Great Depression, at which time Monticello Arcade Company, Inc. filed for bankruptcy and the building returned to the Grandy Estate. The Arcade survived the remainder of the Depression in the hands of its new owners and went on to prosper in postwar Norfolk. Businesses in the downtown area began to suffer in the early 1960s, and during that time the Monticello Arcade began to deteriorate as revenues decreased. By the 1970s, the Arcade was in poor condition with only a few remaining tenants. Threat of condemnation loomed until 1975, when the building attained landmark status. In 1976, management of the Arcade was taken over by the newly created Monticello Arcade Limited Partnership. By the early 1980s, downtown Norfolk had been significantly restored, which resulted in recovery of Arcade business. Today the Monticello Arcade remains at the heart of Norfolks business and retail district.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.</p><br>
<p>Virginia Bank and Trust Building, also known as the Auslew Gallery Building, is a historic bank building located at Norfolk, Virginia.

It was built in 1915 and 1916 and is a four-story, 11 bay, brick church building in the Second Renaissance Revival style. The building features decorative terra cotta and a stained-glass dome. It has a two-tier, engaged entrance portico with fluted columns, Corinthian order capitals, and terra cotta entablatures. The building also has a three-stage bell tower.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.</p><br>
<p>St. John&#39;s AME Church is a historic congregation of the African Methodist Episcopal Church in Norfolk, Virginia, United States. Founded in 1840, it was the first African American Episcopal Church in Virginia. It moved to its present location on East Bute Street in what is now Downtown Norfolk in 1848.</p><br>
<p>The historic church building was built in 1888, a red brick structure in the Richardsonian Romanesque style with a large, heavy and steeply pitched slate roof and two flanking towers. The building features a centered stone entrance portico, containing the main entrance to the church. The portico is built of light grey freestone in a style reminiscent of the ambulatory of a Romanesque abbey and consists of two large openings headed by semi-circular arches. The building houses a large sanctuary and horseshoe-shaped balcony with a seating capacity of 1,500 people. Also on the property is the contributing parsonage; a 2½-story, four-bay, brick dwelling in a simplified Second French Empire style. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.</p><br>
<p>The Karel Jonas House, also known as Terry B. Vetter House, is a historic residence in Racine, Wisconsin, United States, that was home to journalist, politician, and diplomat Charles Jonas . It was built in 1878. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on March 1, 1982.</p><br>
<p>Karel Jonas was born in 1840, the son of a weaver in Malešov, a village in Bohemia, then under the Habsburg Empire. His family was able to educate him, and he became a political journalist associated with the Czech nationalist František Ladislav Rieger. In 1860, Jonas published a critique of the Habsburg education system – primarily how it favored Germans over Slavs. The authorities confiscated all copies, expelled Jonas from school, and he escaped to London.</p><br>
<p>In 1863 Jonas came to Racine, to edit a new Czech-language newspaper Slavie. Next year he married Kristina Korizek, the daughter of the founder of the paper. Through the Civil War, he and his paper supported the Union cause and the Republican party. In 1870 he returned to Europe to cover the Franco-Prussian War. When that ended in 1871, he slipped back into Prague for six or seven months, and wrote tracts like "Reasons for the Defeat of France" and "Women in Human Society, Especially in England and America." But he had left Austria ten years before without an exit visa and without serving his military obligations, so he soon returned to America.</p><br>
<p>Back in Racine, he continued publishing, and became the first leader in the Czech-American community. He also worked to help Czech immigrants adapt to the USA and the English language. He produced a primer called Spelling Book and First Reader for Czech-Slavic Youth in America, and the first known Czech-English dictionary. As the Republican establishment of the time became more aligned with capitalists and prohibitionists, Jonass sympathies turned to the Horace Greeleys Liberal Republican candidacy, and then the Democratic Party. In 1876 he won a seat on Racine&#39;s common council for the fourth ward, which was largely Czech, and from 1878 to 1880 he served as president of that council. In 1877 he was elected to the Wisconsin assembly, where he advocated for labor causes, focusing on child labor issues.</p><br>
<p>In 1878 he and Kristina built the house which is the subject of this article. Though the house now looks a bit whimsical and exotic, the original did not. Where the round corner and turret now stand was open space, so the original house had a gabled-ell form, 2-story brick Italianate with segmentally arched windows and deep eaves supported by wooden brackets. The main entry was at the inside corner of the ell. The house was thoroughly dignified and standard for the time.</p><br>
<p>In 1885 Jonas won a seat on the State Senate. In 1887 his political connections got him placed as diplomatic consul in his beloved Prague, where he advocated expanding USA trade with the region and shared American farming techniques with Czech farmers. This patronage position ended with the first Cleveland administration and he returned to Wisconsin. In 1890 Jonas was elected Lieutenant Governor under Governor George W. Peck. In 1894 he resigned that post and was appointed consul to several cities in Europe. Disappointed with his appointments and somewhat estranged from his wife, he died in Germany in 1896.</p><br>
<p>Peter Stoffel, a merchant, bought the house from Jonas in 1894. Some time between 1901 and 1908, Stoffel filled in the ell, adding the rounded corner and turret, added the 2-story bay on the south side, and the pedimented portico which now shelters the front door.</p><br>
<p>Pitts-Inge is a historic commercial building located at Charlottesville, Virginia. It was built in 1820, and is a two-story, Federal style, brick building. Only the right half of the building, with two stories and the bays were part of the original structure.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.</p><br>
<p>Inge&#39;s Store is a grocery, built in the Federal Style, in 1820 by Johnson W. Pitt, originally as a residence. Its significance is in its style, its metal canopy, and its historic ownership, belonging to and operated by the same family since 1890.</p><br>
<p>In 1820, Pitt bought two unimproved lots from Joseph Bishop for 100 dollars. Pitt built a house on the lot, and sold it to Lawrence P. Catlett for $1,000 in September 1821. Catlett sold the property for $812.84 in September 1828 to William F. Gooch, who sold it in January 1883 for $700. A brick kitchen was added during this time. In 1841 it was purchased, with improvements, for $2,000 by the Methodist Episcopal Church to be used as a parsonage. The church was forced to sell the house at public auction to Nimrod Sowell for $1,220 in 1842.</p><br>
<p>In 1850 it was purchased by Harris & Taylor and became an iron foundry. In November 1853 it was sold to Musgrove and Patterson, merchants. When Musgrove and Patterson&#39;s business ended, the property was sold for $1,900 to John M. Barksdale and John N. Fry. During their 4-year ownership a smokehouse was added. In 1863, the property was sold to Isaac and Simon Letterman for $4,050. In 1887, the property was sold for $2,500 to Liebichen Levine, who then sold it to George Pinkney Inge for $3,000 in February 1890.</p><br>
<p>Inge had been born a slave. He worked as a school teacher in Charlottesville, but opened the building at 331-333 West Main for business in July 1891. The Inge family continued to operate the property until it was sold to Leslie C. Lafon in December 1979.</p><br>
<p>By 1896, the building had doubled in size, with a second wing added. By 1907 a frame porch was added to the rear, and by 1920 more rooms were added, bringing the building to its current shape.</p><br>
<p>The Racine Heritage Museum is a historical museum building and former Carnegie library, located at 701 S. Main St. in downtown Racine, Wisconsin. Designed by John Mauran in the Beaux-Arts style, It is also the home of the Racine County Historical Society. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on March 20, 1981.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>John Mauran designed the building, in an architectural style that has been described varyingly as Beaux-Arts and as Renaissance Revival. The two-story building is constructed of Bedford limestone and brick, with accents in "St. Louis granite pressed brick" and buff-colored terracotta. This terracotta is used to create many embellished decorations on each of the building&#39;s facades.</p><br>
<p>The front of the building faces west toward Main Street, dominated by a Roman arch with an Ionic portico, topped by a broken pediment. The transom plaque, not original to the building, reads "Racine County Historical Society". The frieze features the words "Free to the People". On the north facade, facing Seventh Street, a panel reads "Intelligence is the Foundation of Prosperity and Social Order". An accompanying panel on the south side read "Ye Shall Know the Truth and the Truth Shall Make You Free." The original east facade was destroyed by an expansion of the building in 1989, and a 1981 survey records nothing significant about it.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The idea of a public library for Racine was first proposed at a meeting of businessmen and ladies at the home of A. Arthur Guilbert in 1895. A library association was founded the following year, which lobbied for a successful ballot referendum that provided city funding to the project. Some city philanthropists, including William Horlick, offered additional funding. The citys first public library, located in a room in the Secor Block, thus opened in September 1897. Almost immediately afterward, the library association began raising funds for a permanent library building in West Park, but their efforts were hampered when the City Council blocked that site from being developed. Meanwhile, the librarys board sought the aid of Andrew Carnegie, who had recently funded the construction of hundreds of libraries in the United States, and he ultimately offered a donation of $50,000 in 1901. However, it was stipulated that the library offer $5,000 of its proceeds to the Carnegie Foundation each year of its operation.</p><br>
<p>After contentious debate, the library board chose the southeast corner of Main and Seventh streets as the site for its new building. The site was purchased from Mary E. Hall in 1902. A number of plans for the building were submitted, and the one chosen was a design by John Mauran, a two-story stone and brick building in the Beaux-Arts style. The plans were presented at the convention of the Western Library Association in August 1902, where it was declared "The Library Beautiful". The building&#39;s cornerstone was laid on May 30, 1903, in a ceremony featuring judge Charles E. Dyer. Construction was contracted to A.H. Harcus and Co., and it opened to the public unceremoniously on March 16, 1904.</p><br>
<p>At the time of the librarys opening, it held 97,000 books in its collection. and proposals for a replacement in 1934 were inspired by the New Deals public works programs. Architects Kirchhoff & Rose submitted a plan that year for a large five-story building on that site, which the PWA approved but which was never built.</p><br>
<p>Efforts to replace the Racine Public Library were renewed in 1954, with the city council approving the proposal to build in Memorial Park, although cost concerns reduced the size of the planned building. After the new library building opened on May 18, 1958, the old building was left vacant. Over 75,000 books were moved from the old library to the new in a single day. Various uses were proposed for it, including making it part of the University of Wisconsin–Racine campus or administrative offices for the Racine Unified School District. The Racine County Historical Society, then outgrowing its existing space in the county courthouse, held a campaign in 1960 to gain funding to buy the building.</p><br>
<p>The Racine County Museum opened May 18, 1962. The museum remained a separate entity from the Historical Society, with which it shared the building, until they merged in 1982. The museum has housed the Racine County Sports Hall of Fame since its creation in 2011. In addition to the former Carnegie library building, the historical society also owns the 1888 Bohemian Schoolhouse in Caledonia.</p><br>
<h2>Museum</h2><br>
<p>As the primary historical museum of Racine County, the Heritage Museum is home to a large archival collection, which is kept in the basement, and features several permanent exhibits in the upper floors. These exhibits include:</p><br>
<p>"Racine County: Factory for the World", highlighting a variety of well-known commercial products that were manufactured in Racine.</p><br>

<p>The museum is also home to the Racine County Sports Hall of Fame.</p><br>
<p>The Haugh House is a two-story, Greek-Revival lodge I-house residential building with a standing-seam gabled roof, wrapped in weatherboard, built about 1855. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on August 18, 2011.</p><br>
<p>It is in the center of the Cross Keys Battlefield in Rockingham County, Virginia. It has six-over-six windows with double-hung wooden sash, exposed floor and ceiling joists, a large center hall, original, interior chambered moldings and hand-planed partition walls. It originally included two limestone chimneys, but they were damaged during the Battle of Cross Keys, during the American Civil War and subsequently removed.</p><br>
<p>John Haugh purchased 80 acres of land from his father-in-law in 1844, and began farming it. In about 1855, the house was added. A two-story rear ell was added in about 1915, and several outbuildings were added from the 1920s on.</p><br>
<p>The front portion of the building is a two-story, single-pile antebellum log I-house built in the vernacular Greek Revival style, and remains largely intact. It is three bays on a continuous cut limestone foundation. It has seven windows with six-over-six, double-hung wooden sashes, the bay has three two-over-two double-hung wooden sashes. This portion of the building suffered significant structural damage from heavy shelling during the Battle of Cross Keys.</p><br>
<p>The second portion of the house, a two-story, balloon-framed ell was constructed about 1915. Electricity was added in the late 1930s.</p><br>
<p>Saint Mark United Methodist Church is a United Methodist Church in midtown Atlanta, Georgia. The building was constructed between 1902 and 1903 by the congregation of Merritts Avenue Methodist Church after they outgrew their previous building. The architecture is notable for its use of Stone Mountain granite, triple entrance portal, and pot-metal stained-glass windows. The building is one of the few Gothic Revival granite churches in Atlanta.</p><br>
<p>The building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and is also designated as a historic building by the City of Atlanta.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The architect, Willis F. Denny also constructed two other granite Methodist churches that survive today. The congregation chose the location for Saint Mark Methodist Church to give them more room and to be in a less dangerous location than the "Tight Squeeze" area beyond the city limits. The twelve pictorial stained-glass works depicting scenes from the life of Jesus were installed gradually from 1909 to 1959.</p><br>
<p>In the early 1990s the church was on the verge of closing but the congregation ended up swelling to more than 1700 members during the decade. A fifteen-year series of renovations to the main sanctuary was completed in 2008.</p><br>
<p>The Bronaugh Apartments, also known as the Hyland Apartments, Olive Apartments, and Ellsworth Apartments , are a historic building in Portland, Oregon, United States. Constructed for Araminta Payne Bronaugh in 1905 during Portlands period of rapid growth around the Lewis and Clark Centennial Exposition, it was one of the citys earliest modern apartment buildings, contrasting with the boarding houses that were already common. The property is closely associated with three generations of the Bronaugh family, who were prominent in Oregon law and politics, and who owned the building for nearly 50 years.</p><br>
<p>The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.</p><br>
<p>The Catlett House is a detached Queen Anne style building from 1897 in Staunton, Virginia. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places  in 1982.</p><br>
<p>The three-story, three-bay building is on a raised corner lot in the city&#39;s Gospel Hill neighborhood. It has shingled outer walls on the two upper floors, with rough-faced stone on the foundation and first floor. It has a hipped and gable roof with large projecting gables and a rounded tower, which has a bell shaped roof with dark brown shingles. The front facade is split into three bays, with a projecting gable and a round turret on the ends, connected by a plain central bay. The ground floor has a wide verandah wrapping three sides of the house. It has nine fireplaces, and twenty-one leaded glass windows on the first floor. The house, formerly used as a retirement home for women is now the Berkeley House Bed & Breakfast.</p><br>
<p>Its significance in the NRHP is due to its architecture.</p><br>

<p>Kenmure, also known as the William Lamb House, is an urban antebellum home located in Norfolk, Virginia&#39;s historic West Freemason District, at 420 West Bute Street. It derives its name from the Scottish family estate.</p><br>
<h2>Design</h2><br>
<p>Originally constructed in 1845 as a three-bay, Greek Revival brick town house, it consisted of two floors measuring 40x40 above an English basement, with brick and wood walls, 15 fireplaces, two front parlors, living room and a kitchen outbuilding.</p><br>
<p>Kenmure was expanded to three-stories in 1855 with a central one-bay dwarf portico, a rear addition and a low, hipped roof topped by a three-bay cupola.</p><br>
<p>Its site was originally a half block, located next to the Elizabeth River, between Bute and Botetourt Streets.</p><br>
<h2>Original history</h2><br>
<p>Kenmure was built for Margaret Kerr Lamb (1811–1876) and William Wilson Lamb (1835-1909), a banker, shipper, cotton and rail merchant. The Lambs had two children, William Wilson Lamb (1835-1909) and Mary Content Lamb Donnell (1850–1924).</p><br>
<p>Marking the second generation when Lambs served as mayor of Norfolk, William Wilson Lamb served as mayor of Norfolk from 1858 to 1862 during the Civil War. As Norfolk surrendered the city to Union soldiers, Lamb secreted Norfolks historic silver mace &mdash; which had been handed down from each mayor since first presented to Norfolk by Royal Lieutenant Governor Robert Dinwiddie in 1754 &mdash; under the hearth stone of the upstairs childrens room. Union soldiers would subsequently occupy the house, without discovering the hidden mace.</p><br>
<p>Lambs son Colonel William Lamb would later own Kenmure. As a noted Confederate States Army officer, he commanded the Confederate garrison at Fort Fisher during the Civil War; was badly wounded and was hospitalized and imprisoned at Fort Monroe at the southern tip of the Virginia Peninsula. Colonel Lamb and his wife, Sarah Anne Chaffee Lamb (1837-1892) had twelve children, and Colonel Lamb would later serve two terms as Norfolks mayor.</p><br>
<p>Colonel Lamb described Kenmure as "a typical southern home of these antebellum days, where besides the ‘white folks’ there was a colony of family servants from the pickaninnys just able to crawl to the old gray-headed mammy who nursed ‘old massa.’ It was an ideal home for a boy: sail and row boats on the shore for sailing and fishing, horses in the stable for riding and driving, peaches, pears, cherries, figs, pomegranates, raspberries, currants in the garden, and roses, pink lilacs, snowballs, hollyhock and all the dear old-time flowers with which to treat his girl and boy friends – with a lovely lawn, bordered with crepe myrtles, bayberry and calycanthus between the mansion house and the river, upon which to romp and wrestle and to enjoy those outdoor games which the children of the founders of Norfolk town in 1682 brought from the motherland.”</p><br>
<h2>Later history</h2><br>
<p>The house was sold in 1894, 1897 and 1906, becoming a boarding house by 1918, and was unoccupied by the 1920s. In the 1930s Kenmure was subdivided into five apartments. It was occupied by vagrants when architect Frederick Herman (1924-2002) and his wife Dr. Lucy Spigel Herman, a learning disabilities specialist, purchased the house in 1976. The Hermans began its restoration, re-configuring the house as a single family residence above offices on the basement and first floor levels.</p><br>
<p>In the 1980s the basement and first floor accommodated the architectural firm Herman had co-founded with his father-in-law Bernard (Bernie) Betzig Spigel (1895-1968) and August (Augie) Zinkl (1905-1990). The firm operated as Spigel, Carter, Zinkl and Herman, and later as Spigel Herman and Chapman with partner Donald E. Chapman. A basement-level antique store was operated by Sydney and Faith Nusbaum.</p><br>
<p>Historic easements were added by the Hermans. Kenmure was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988. It was purchased by Stephen and Vanessa Sigmon in 2007, who further restored the house, returning it to a single family residence.</p><br>

The school building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1993.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In 1886, the Washington Territory Legislature established the State School for Defective Youth in Vancouver, Washington. The act established a "school for the deaf, mute, blind, and feeble minded". Louis Sohns and Charles Brown raised money from local civic leaders, purchased property, and built buildings for the school. They were also added as trustees for the school.</p><br>
<p>In 1891, School Director James Watson recommended that the "feeble minded" be separated from the blind and deaf students. They were relocated to another facility nearby. In 1906, the "feeble minded" were relocated to a state school at Medical Lake in Eastern Washington (now called Lakeland Village). The Vancouver school&#39;s name was changed to the State School for the Deaf and Blind, with the blind students moved to the former facility for the "feeble minded".</p><br>
<p>In 1913, the two schools were officially separated by name, the State School for the Blind, and the State School for the Deaf.</p><br>
<h2>Campus</h2><br>
<p>The school has dormitory facilities in cottages.</p><br>
<h2>Notable alumni</h2><br>
<p>Jazz singer and pianist Diane Schuur, blind since birth from retinopathy of prematurity, attended the Washington State School for the Blind from ages four to seven, in the late 1950s to early 1960s. She lived in Vancouver at the school but was able to commute home by train to suburban Seattle on her own. In her twenties, her talent was recognized by jazz musicians Dizzie Gillespie and Stan Getz. She has made over 20 albums including the Grammy-winning Diane Schuur & the Count Basie Orchestra. She has performed at Carnegie Hall, The White House and the Kennedy Center. Schuur was awarded the Helen Keller Achievement Award in 2000 by the American Foundation for the Blind.</p><br>
<h2>Later history</h2><br>
<p>In 2008, the school hosted a "tactile museum of natural history" experience and fundraiser called Sensory Safari. The event benefitted the Washington School for the Blind Foundation, which supports student activities and funds technology and equipment for the school.</p><br>
<p>The El Pomar Estate was the Penrose House and estate of Spencer and Julie Penrose in the Broadmoor, Colorado, Colorado Springs, Colorado It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places listings in El Paso County, Colorado and the Colorado State Register of Historic Properties.</p><br>
<h2>William F. Dixon</h2><br>
<p>Pioneer William F. Dixon, the first to settle in Cheyenne Canon, claimed the land in 1862 for what would be the Dixon Ranch and orchard. He built irrigation ditches for his farm and orchard and raised cattle. A portion of his property that had been apple orchards became the El Pomar estate.</p><br>
<h2>The Potter estate</h2><br>
<p>In 1909 or 1910, Grace ( Goodyear) Depew built a Spanish style single-story house named El Pomar, Spanish for "the apple orchard". In April 1910, Grace married Captain Ashton Howard Potter. After the couple&#39;s relationship became strained, Potter lived in another house on the estate until his death on August 5, 1914. Grace died shortly thereafter on September 12, 1914. Author Julian Street called it the "house of houses" in Colorado Springs, not knowing one in the country that "fits its setting better than this one, or which is more perfect thing from every point of view."</p><br>
<h2>The Penrose estate</h2><br>
<p>Spencer and Julie Penrose purchased El Pomar, the Potters wine cellar collection, and house furnishings in 1916 for $75,000 near The Broadmoor, a resort that they had built following a European vacation. They added second and third floors to the house. The estate buildings included the main house, gate lodge, carriage house, gardeners cottage, chauffeur&#39;s cottage, and a teahouse. Furnishings purchased or built for the Penroses that remain in El Pomar include Vermont Corona and Belgian black marble, a rare Aeolian organ with ceiling decorations over vents that allowed organ music to drift throughout the house, secret doors that held a wine cellar in the library during Prohibition, and some furnishings.</p><br>
<p>James Bell, who had been president of the National Association of Gardeners, was superintendent of El Pomar until his death in 1920.</p><br>
<h2>Sisters of Charity retreat</h2><br>
<p>In 1944, following her husband&#39;s death in 1939, Julie Penrose moved out of El Pomar and into a penthouse suite at The Broadmoor. She donated the estate to The Sisters of Charity of Cincinnati, who used it as a spiritual retreat center for almost 50 years. Named the Julie Penrose Center, it was the first Catholic retreat center for women west of the Mississippi. It was administered by the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Denver.</p><br>
<h2>El Pomar Foundation</h2><br>
<p>In 1992, El Pomar became the headquarters for the El Pomar Foundation, founded by Spencer and Julie Penrose in 1937. The foundation initiated a restoration of the estate in 1992 to be used as a conference center, while preserving the integrity of the original architecture. The estate is now the Penrose House Nonprofit Conference and Education Center for non-profit organizations. It has been visited by Margaret Thatcher, Mikhail Gorbachev, and George H. W. Bush, former heads of state.</p><br>

<p>The university&#39;s library collection was originally housed in Hodgin Hall, but had outgrown that space by the 1920s. A new, dedicated library building was constructed on the site of Hadley Hall, an earlier university building that burned down in 1910. The new library was designed by the El Paso firm of Trost & Trost in collaboration with local architect Elson H. Norris and was completed in 1926 at a cost of $42,000. However, the library collection continued to grow rapidly and exceeded the capacity of the building after only a few years. In 1938 the new, much larger Zimmerman Library was completed, and the old library was remodeled into classroom and studio space using Works Progress Administration funding. The building was remodeled again in 1984–5, and currently houses graduate studios for Master of Fine Arts candidates in painting, photography, printmaking, and experimental art and technology.</p><br>

<p>The motel is known for its mushroom champagne glass style roof and glass walls, allowing guests to see the stars. It was selected by the American Institute of Architects for the 1958 Special Awards.</p><br>
<p>Lundy wrote in a 1958 issue of The Florida Association of Architects: "I was searching for a form that would somehow symbolize the thought of the Fountain of Youth by a plastic flowing shape, that would also echo the organic growing shape of a tree. The answer came in the adoption of a structural system based on using precast concrete hyperbolic paraboloids, 14ft-5in square (from basic motel unit width-requirement, plus necessary overlap) in two heights arranged in a U-shaped plan (the remaining wing will be added shortly). Three of the so called shells were lifted up on higher columns of varying height to form the sign of the motel, as a free-standing piece of sculpture."</p><br>
<p>The reception desk is original (from 1958). The pool area was added in 1990.</p><br>

<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Jared H. Gay was born in New York in 1830. He moved west to operate sawmills in Lyons, Michigan and Fulton, Ohio, then in 1857 moved to Muskegon to operate a blacksmith&#39;s shop. In 1861, Gay arrived in Crystal Valley as a government-appointed blacksmith, serving the local Ottawa and Chippewa population in accordance with the recent treaty which had been signed in 1855. There he and his wife Catherine built this house.</p><br>
<p>The Gays were the first European settlers in what is now Crystal Township, and were instrumental in the early development of the area around Crystal Valley (Catherine Gay christened the area "Crystal Valley"). Jared Gay worked as the government blacksmith until about 1865. After this, he ran a blacksmith shop located across the street from the house until the shop burned in 1877. By that time, the Gays had begun operating a small sawmill, and had platted out the village of Crystal Valley. In 1882, they constructed a frame house (destroyed in 1965) and moved out of this log structure.</p><br>
<p>In 1902, the Gays sold the property on which this house sits. Mark and Calla Krieger purchased the house in 1954, and renovated it as a weekend home. They lived there until at least 1989.</p><br>
