<p>The Charles Mears Silver Lake Boardinghouse is a boardinghouse located at the outlet of Silver Lake, near Mears, Michigan. It is one of the few remaining structures built to serve the lumbering industry, which was Michigan&#39;s predominant industry in the 19th century. It was designated a Michigan State Historic Site and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Charles Mears was born in 1814 in North Billerica, Massachusetts, the son of Nathan and Lucy Mears. In 1836, Charles and his brothers Edwin and Nathan opened a general store in Paw Paw, Michigan. The next year, Charles and another brother, Albert, began considering starting business along the west shore of Lake Michigan. Realizing the potential of the lumber trade, Charles purchased land near White Lake, Michigan, and by early 1838 had opened a sawmill nearby. Mears decided that the then small village of Chicago would be a good market for timber, and he commissioned a lumber sloop to haul lumber from his mill to Chicago.</p><br>
<p>In 1844, Mears established a second sawmill, and soon controlled timberland and owned mills across Michigan. Mears built a number of boardinghouses for his workers, as did other lumbermen. However, other lumbermen tended to build crude boardinghouses strictly for he mill hands. However, Mears&#39;s mills were close to Lake Michigan, and a fair amount of traffic passed. Thus, uniquely, Mears opened his boardinghouses to the general public. To attract public customers, the boardinghouses themselves were also of higher quality construction.</p><br>
<p>This boardinghouse was constructed in 1866. When the lumbering trade declined, Mears continued to operate the boardinghouse to serve the public, with his former mill foreman as the innkeeper. Mears died in 1895, and passed the boardinghouse to his daughter, Carrie Ellen Mears. She closed the boardinghouse, but retained ownership until her own death in 1957. At that time, she bequeathed the boardinghouse and surrounding land to the state of Michigan. Part of the bequest became Mears State Park, and part was added to Silver Lake State Park. Other portions were sold, including the lot on which this boardinghouse sits. The building was renovated and reopened to the public.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Charles Mears Silver Lake Boardinghouse is a two-story, rectangular structure measuring 70 ft by 28 ft, with a one-story wing kitchen measuring 25 ft by 25 ft connected to one side. The exterior is covered with clapboard, and the roof with asphalt shingles. The windows are two-over-two double hung.</p><br>
<p>On the interior, walls are lath and plaster, and the floors are of wood. There are four rooms on the main floor, two of which are large public rooms (one a sitting room and one a dining room). The two smaller rooms were originally used by the innkeeper. There are three more rooms in the kitchen wing: a kitchen, pantry, and storage room. The upper floor contains one large bunkroom for use by the mill hands and six smaller bedrooms for travelers.</p><br>
<p>The Glen Ellyn Downtown South Historic District is a historic commercial district in Glen Ellyn, Illinois, United States. Most of the district&#39;s growth dates from the 1920s. The architecture reflects several trends in the first half of the 20th century.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Glen Ellyn, Illinois, was first settled in the 1830s. Early commercial developments, such as Stacys Tavern, catered to stagecoach lines. The Galena and Chicago Union Railroad opened a station in the undeveloped area in 1849. The Downtown North district began to develop on the north side of the tracks at this time. The earliest non-residential construction south of the tracks began in 1859 with the opening of the Duane Street School. In 1891, the settlement changed its name to Glen Ellyn in response to the development of the Glen Ellyn Hotel & Springs Company resort at a nearby lake. The resort improved the towns reputation as an idyllic suburb and encouraged growth.</p><br>
<p>In the early 20th century, Glen Ellyn expanded quickly and began to expand its commercial district to the south side of the tracks. The Methodist Episcopal Church was completed at the corner of Duane Street and Forest Avenue in 1913; it was replaced in 1957. The first commercial building in the district was completed in 1923 for I. M. Block. In 1928, Piggly Wiggly opened a store at the corner of Main Street and Hillside Avenue in the Rohm Building. The largest development was the three-story Glen Ellyn Junior High School, which replaced the Duane Street School in 1929.</p><br>

<p>The Womans Christian Temperance Union Administration Building is a historic building in Evanston, Illinois, United States. It has served as the publishing house and national headquarters of the Womans Christian Temperance Union since its construction in 1910. The organization had an important role in the national discussion on prohibition and women&#39;s suffrage.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Womans Christian Temperance Union (WCTU) was founded in Ohio in November 1874. It became the largest womens organization in the United States. Under president Annie Turner Wittenmyer, the WCTU organized national campaigns to advocate for temperance. These steps focused on literature publication, including a weekly newspaper dedicated to the cause.</p><br>
<p>Evanston, Illinois resident Frances Willard became the organizations second president in 1879. Willard used her home in Evanston as an informal headquarters for the organization. Many of its rooms were converted into office and dormitory space for WCTU officials. Here, the WCTU began to expand to other causes, including child welfare, labor reform, prison reform, womens suffrage, age of consent laws, and abstinence. The WCTU moved into an official headquarters building in Chicago, designed by Burnham & Root, in 1890.</p><br>
<p>Evanston had a lengthy history with temperance. The town was founded by Methodists seeking to build a university; Northwestern University opened in 1855. When Evanston was incorporated in 1863, its first act was to create an ordinance banning alcohol within a 4 mi radius around the school. Because so many Evanston residents worked at the university, the act was popular. As Evanston grew to be considered an idyllic suburb in the 1870s, residents supported alcohol control as a way to preserve the residential climate. The first temperance organization in town, the Temperance Alliance, was founded around 1872. After Frances Willard returned from an east coast trip to meet with temperance leaders, she became a local leader in the movement.</p><br>
<p>Willard died in 1898 and left her house to the WCTU in her will. In 1900, the WCTU left Chicago and officially moved to Evanston. An addition was constructed on Willards former house in 1904 to print The Union Signal and The Young Crusader. After almost a decade in Willards former house, the organization decided that it needed a new building to suit its needs. The WCTU Printing House, also known as the Literature Building, was built in the rear of the Willard property. The new printing capabilities allowed the WCTU to increase their efforts. In 1913, the WCTU teamed up with the Anti-Saloon League and the Prohibition Party to focus their efforts on legislative prohibition. A 1915 fundraiser raised enough money to create an addition to the building, allowing it to hold more administrative offices. As a result, the building was renamed the Woman&#39;s Christian Temperance Union Administration Building.</p><br>
<p>In 1919, the WCTUs efforts came to fruition with the passage of the Eighteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution establishing prohibition. The Nineteenth Amendment followed the next year, approving womens suffrage. During prohibition, the WCTU harshly criticized the government for lax enforcement of the Volstead Act. Although prohibition was repealed in 1933, the WCTU continued to prosper. They continued to encourage individuals to abstain from alcohol and promoted local prohibition ordinances. A memorial library addition commemorated to Willard was constructed in 1938. By 1943, the WCTU was the largest temperance organization in the nation; by 1951, it had over a quarter of a million members. The WCTU continues to use the administration building as its national headquarters.</p><br>
<p>The Skarsbo Apartments is a group of buildings located at 204 and 210 North Sixth Street, Grand Forks, North Dakota which were added to the National Register of Historic Places on 27 August 2013.</p><br>
<p>The complex consists of two nearly identical brick apartment buildings and an associated caretakers cottage. The buildings are considered to be excellent examples of apartment buildings built in Grand Forks in the late 1920s.</p><br>
<p>The R. Perry Turner House is located in Greer, South Carolina. The Classical Revival style house was built in 1937 for prominent local businessman Richard Perry Turner. The house was designed by Greenville-based architect William Riddle Ward, commissioned after Turner saw the house designed by Ward for his younger brother, Robert Gibbs Turner.</p><br>
<p>The brick house on a poured concrete foundation is almost 10,000 square feet in size. A brick garage, stable and octagonal brick summer house in the backyard were also designed by Ward for the property.</p><br>
<p>The Kolmer Site is an archaeological site in the far southwest of the USA state of Illinois. Located near Kaskaskia and Prairie du Rocher in western Randolph County, it lies at the site of an early historic Indian village from the French period. Because it occupies a critical chronological and cultural position, it has been given national recognition as a historic site.</p><br>
<h2>Historical events</h2><br>
<p>Under René-Robert Cavelier, Sieur de La Salle, the Mississippi and Ohio Rivers were discovered and explored for the first time, and claimed as part of New France. The earliest explorers were soon followed by Catholic Christian missionaries led by Jacques Gravier, who soon won converts among the Illini, and some of these praying Indians founded riverside villages at Cahokia, Kaskaskia, and Peoria. These villages were small by modern standards, although they remained comparable in size to European settlements in the area; according to letters by one missionary written in 1750, three Illini villages in the American Bottom together numbered fewer than eight hundred inhabitants, while the five French villages in the same region comprised eleven hundred Frenchmen and three hundred blacks.</p><br>
<p>Established in 1720, the village at the present Kolmer Site was inhabited by a subgroup of the Illini known also as the Michigamea. Here the flickering light of civilization grew for little more than thirty years before it was unexpectedly snuffed out: in 1752, a confederation of the Fox, Sioux, and Cherokees came up against the village suddenly, and although it had been fortified with a stockade, the inhabitants were unable to hold off the invaders. Many were savagely killed and numerous others captured, and the survivors fled to Kaskaskia. The invaders withdrew, but only after burning the abandoned village; instead of rebuilding their destroyed homes, the Michigamea established a new village nearby at a location known to modern archaeologists as the Waterman Site.</p><br>
<p>French dominion in the American Bottom ended with the Treaty of Paris in 1763, by which all lands east of the Mississippi were ceded to the Kingdom of Great Britain. British dominion, in turn, was ended by the American Revolution: while the French settlers and local Indians were originally favorable toward the British, skillful manoeuvering by George Rogers Clark won the support of both populations for the Americans. The influence of the Catholic faith may have waned by this time, as Clark addressed the inhabitants of Kaskaskia and Cahokia using traditional religious terms instead of Christian words, Mass is still celebrated at the church weekly.</p><br>
<h2>Archaeological significance</h2><br>
<p>When the Michigamea lived at the Kolmer Site, it sat on the riverbank along the Mississippi, but subsequent course changes have stranded the site from the river: it now lies a full mile (more than 1.5 km) away from the shoreline, Because of the suddenness of the attack that destroyed the village in 1752, the Michigamea are believed to have abandoned most of their possessions, and because they established a new village rather than restoring the old, it is likely that most artifacts that survived the villages burning yet remain in situ. For these reasons, Kolmer is significant for its potential to yield information about the late Illini period, but its importance is greatly expanded because of its inhabitants relationship with the French. As original artifacts from the site must be dated within a third of a century, comparisons of Kolmer artifacts with artifacts from other French-influenced sites would enable archaeologists to gain a far clearer understanding of previously undated sites, while the significant changes inherent in the transition from a nomadic lifestyle to European-influenced civilization are also likely to appear in the site&#39;s artifacts. Finally, as the Kolmer Site was intimately connected to the most prominent French settlements in the upper Mississippi valley, it is a critical component of a region without parallel in the United States for its preservation of colonial France, especially as the larger village of old Kaskaskia has lain under the Mississippi River since its course changed.</p><br>
<h2>Historic designation</h2><br>
<p>In the spring of 1974, the Kolmer Site was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in two different ways. It was individually added to the Register in early May, qualifying because of its archaeological significance, while one month previously it had been added as part of a large historic district. This district, the French Colonial Historic District, preserves 22 square miles of land connected to early French settlement in the region, and the Kolmer Site was named one of its most significant contributing properties. Among the other contributing properties are truly ancient sites such as the Modoc Rock Shelter and important French or French-influenced structures such as the Creole House, the Pierre Menard House, Fort de Chartres, and the site of Fort Kaskaskia, as well as the Waterman Site where the Michigamea lived after their first village was razed.</p><br>
<p>The Kable House is an Italianate building from 1873 on the Mary Baldwin University campus. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on June 19, 1979. It is a two-story, five-bay brick house on a raised basement.</p><br>
<p>Construction started in 1873, and was completed in 1874, for John W. Alby. In 1884, Captain William Hartman Kable purchased the house and opened the Staunton Male Academy (which was renamed again in 1886 to Staunton Military Academy, at the same location) in the building.</p><br>
<p>The house was remodeled in 1917 by T.J. Collins architectural firm, and added indoor plumbing and a kitchen, as well as some modifications to the exterior.</p><br>
<p>Staunton Military Academy continued to operate until 1976, at which time the building was purchased by Mary Baldwin College.</p><br>
<p>The Christian–Patterson Rental Property is a two-story, Italianate house built about 1890 in Eugene, Oregon. The house was constructed by Daniel Christian as a rental property for his daughter, Ethenda. Sarah Patterson, another of Christian&#39;s daughters, purchased the property in 1903. Patterson had married Abram S. Patterson, an early Eugene mayor, merchant, and postmaster.</p><br>
<p>A survey of historic resources in the West University Neighborhood found 339 residential structures, but only five of them were historic and in the Italianate style.</p><br>
<p>The Chesterfield Heights Historic District is a national historic district located at Norfolk, Virginia.

<p>The Not-A-Pe-Ka-Gon Site or Notipekago Site, also known as the Quick Site, is a multi-component archaeological site located near where South Custer Road crosses the Pere Marquette River in Mason County, Michigan. It was designated a Michigan State Historic Site in 1993 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The oral tradition of the Odawa people holds that the Not-A-Pe-Ka-Gon Site was the site of an important 17th century battle between the Odawa and Mascouten peoples. Many men from both sides of the conflict died in the battle, and their skulls were placed on sticks along the riverbank; the site became known as "Notipekago" or "Notipekagon" - literally, "heads on sticks."</p><br>
<p>Years later, erosion exposed the previously buried remains of the warriors, leading to the modern archaeological discovery of the site.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Not-A-Pe-Ka-Gon Site is located on two river terraces along the Pere Marquette River. The site contains three small mounds, and pottery and French trade goods were found.</p><br>
<p>Far Rockaway Beach Bungalow Historic District is a historic area in Far Rockaway, Queens County, New York. It includes summer beach bungalows near the oceanfront of Far Rockaway, first brought to the area by developer John J. Eagan. They are smaller than the usual domestic bungalows of the 1920s. They were built in 1921 using pattern book designs incorporating uniform facades, compact interiors, integrated porches and exposed rafters. Their architect, Henry Hohauser, became better known in the 1930s as a designer of Art Deco hotels in Miami Beach. The district was hit by Hurricane Sandy in 2012, but survived without major damage. The district is located along Beach 24th, 25th, and 26th Streets. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2013.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The neighborhood&#39;s heyday as a resort community ended about 1950. The families that used the nearby Long Island Rail Road to get to the area each summer began to vacation elsewhere as travel by automobile became more accessible to many people. The popularity of the area also suffered after the railroad abandoned the Rockaway Beach Branch in 1950, making travel to the Rockaway Peninsula far less convenient to people from other parts of New York City. Much of the housing in the area was converted into year-round housing for low-income residents, and some of the bungalows were used as public housing.</p><br>
<p>The urban renewal programs instituted by Robert Moses in the 1950s and &#39;60s contributed to the year round residency and eventual decline of Far Rockaway as a resort community. The closing of the primary rail bridge after a fire in 1950, and the migration of families to other beaches also contributed to changes in the community. The urban renewal also saw the rise of condos and housing projects in the area, and many low income residents of Manhattan were re-located to Far Rockaway, with some moving to the poorly maintained bungalows, which were not built for winters. Years of neglect and disinvestment gave way to decline causing many bungalows to be designated slums. By the 1980s, many of the bungalows had been razed, and crime and poverty were on the rise. Only about 100 bungalows remain.</p><br>
<p>The Beachside Bungalow Preservation Association (BBPA) was formed in September 1984 by Betzie Parker White, Roger White, and Carole Lewis. Betzie White was the head, or chairman, of the BBPA and established it as a non-profit 501(c)3 in June 1986. Richard George became a board member in 1985, and chairman around 1990.</p><br>
<p>In 1990, the association set up an office and hired a staff to organize community programs. Another grant enabled the planting of beach grass, shrubs, and other salt-tolerant plants along the boardwalk from Beach 24th-Beach 27th Streets in 1992. As a result of the plantings, a double-dune system developed that acts as a barrier against erosion and storm damage.</p><br>
<p>The associations work resulted in the rezoning of the neighborhood. The rezoning protects the low-scale housing stock, including the bungalows and one- and two-family homes. It also secures the bungalows ocean views and public access to the beach.</p><br>
<p>There has been a renewed interest in the area in recent years, as many creative types from Manhattan have flocked to the Rockaways.</p><br>
<h2>In popular culture</h2><br>
<p>The HBO series Boardwalk Empire used as a filming location in 2009, depicting the bungalow community for its first episode. Bootleg Productions, the production company behind the series, sent a check for $10,000 after receiving a letter from Carmela George. Joseph Iberti explained, "As a period show set in the 1920s, we appreciate the importance of preserving what is left of period architecture and felt that our contribution could have an impact in this regard."</p><br>
<p>Groucho Marx invested in 24 bungalows in the 1920s.</p><br>
<p>The Stratton House is a 1.5-story Vernacular Craftsman bungalow built in 1911 in Eugene, Oregon. Vernacular architecture is a designation that indicates local or folk use of style and materials. The house was designed and constructed by Louis H. E. Stratton for Sarah Patterson, a rental property owner. Patterson rented the house to Stratton until 1920, when records show he became the owner.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.</p><br>
<p>The Libby, McNeill and Libby Fruit and Vegetable Cannery was a cannery operated in Sacramento, California by Libby, McNeill, and Libby. The building is now listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>Libby, McNeill and Libby built nine brick structures near the corner of Stockton Boulevard and 31st Street (now Alhambra Boulevard) in 1912. The undertaking was the grand sum of $1 million.</p><br>
<p>The building was strategically located to provide access to two separate railways and employed around 1,000 workers.</p><br>
<p>Corresponding with a decline in canned food sales in the US, Libby shut down operations in the early 1980s. A developer purchased the building soon after for $2.5 million and remodeled it into an office complex, some of which was used by state offices, departments of UC Davis Medical Center, and a fitness center. In 1991, it was valued at $30 million. In 2021, The Sacramento Bee moved its editorial offices into the development after seven decades at its headquarters and printing plant at 21st and Q Streets.</p><br>
<p>West Point Cemetery, also known as Potters Field and Calvary Cemetery, is a historic cemetery and national historic district located at Norfolk, Virginia. It encompasses three contributing sites, one contributing structure, and one contributing object in an African American graveyard in downtown Norfolk. The cemetery was established in 1873, and includes a grouping of headstones marking the remains of 58 black soldiers and sailors who served in the American Civil War, and a monument honoring these veterans stands over their graves. Other notable elements include the Potters Field, O’Rourke Mausoleum, and the West Point Cemetery entry sign.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2007. It is contiguous with Elmwood Cemetery, listed in 2013.</p><br>
<h2>West Point Monument</h2><br>
<p>Dedicated in 1906, the monument was built as a tribute to African American veterans of both the Civil War and Spanish–American War. The Civil War soldier depicted on the top of the West Point Monument is Norfolk native Sergeant William H. Carney of the 54th Massachusetts Volunteer Regiment.</p><br>
<p>James Fuller (1846–1909) was the primary force behind the monument&#39;s installation. Fuller was a former slave and a Civil War Veteran quartermaster in the First United States Colored Cavalry, and was later elected as the first black Norfolk City Councilman.</p><br>

<p>The Ludington United States Coast Guard Station is a Coast Guard facility located at 101 South Lakeshore Drive in Ludington, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2010. The building is planned to be used as a maritime museum slated to open in early 2017</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The town of Ludington (originally known as "Pere Marquette") was first platted in 1867. Population almost immediately boomed, in large part due to the planned construction of the Flint and Pere Marquette Railroad, which was completed in 1874. Ludington had over 2500 residents by that time, and the completion of the railroad spurred both passenger travel and freight shipment out of the harbor.</p><br>
<p>In 1878, as shipping increased, Congress authorized four Lake Michigan life-saving stations, including one at Ludington. A station was built on the peninsula south of the harbor in 1879. The first crew came to the station in 1880. In 1884, the station was moved to the present site on the north side of the harbor, and a new structure built. However, by the 1930s, the station had outgrown the 1884 building.</p><br>
<p>Plans for a new building were drawn up in 1932, and in 1933 the original station was moved to become a private residence. Although the station declined in importance, its mission was re-evaluated in the wake of 9/11, and plans were made for a new station building.</p><br>
<p>In 2003, ground was broken on a new station nearby, In 2007, the City of Ludington and the Mason County Historical Society agreed to create and operate a maritime</p><br>
<p>museum in the 1933 building. The General Services Administration deeded the station to the city in 2010, and the future design began. Exterior renovations were made, and the 1933 station reopened as a maritime museum on Saturday, June 10, 2017.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Ludington Coast Guard Station is a large two to three-story wooden craftsman style structure, consisting of a broad hip-roof main block with a lower flat-roof rear extension; the entire structure measures 82 feet by 60 feet. The lower level is a concrete basement, serving as the first floor, while the upper levels are of wood construction and clad with wooden shingles. Broad hip-roof dormers project from each face of the hip roof. Fronting the water, two long flights of stairs lead to hip-roof entry porches on each corner of the second level. A low pent roof between the entrances marks the top of the three former boat bays. Windows are primarily single square-head window openings, with double wide ones above the doorways.</p><br>
<p>On the rear (land facing) side, the extension has two wide entrances to the boathouse, with a smaller pedestrian door between. Round windows are inset above each door. A small addition fills the interior corner between the extension and the main structure.</p><br>
<p>On the interior, the three-bay boathouse extends two stories in height, and runs through the center of the building. The remainder of the lower basement level contained a carpenter shop and storage areas. The second floor contained offices on one side of the boathouse and a galley and mess on the other. The third floor contained nine bunk rooms, two bathrooms, a TV/recreation room, and a large closet.</p><br>
<p>The Scottville School, also known as the Old School House, is a school located at 209 North Main Street in Scottville, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Scottville School was constructed in 1888, and served as Scottville&#39;s only school until the 1950s. Additions were made to the school in 1893, 1903, 1911, and 1927. It was used as the high school and middle school until 1976, when the Mason County Central Middle School was built.</p><br>
<p>After closing, the building was used by Faith Tech, a Christian training school. and the building was vacant for years until being opened as a retail outlet in the 1990s. That closed in 1996, and it sat vacant again until 2012, when it was purchased by John Wilton, who began refurbishing it.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Scottville School is a large brick structure, originally constructed in 1888 but with multiple later additions that altered its footprint. An additional single story frame building, measuring 20 ft by 30 ft, is also part of the complex.</p><br>
<p>The main brick building is a symmetrical cross-shaped structure with hipped roof projecting center and wings, and a pyramid-roofed central square tower. Three gabled dormers project from the front. Both the central projection (1903) and the wings (1911) are additions to the original square plan of the building. A flat-roofed gymnasium is attached to the rear of the building.</p><br>
<p>The facade has broad, round-topped doorways and tall, square, transomed windows. Interior passageways around the central foyer are arched, and a central double staircase rises in the center.</p><br>
<p>Alberton School is a three-story brick school located in Alberton, Montana, United States which was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on January 13, 1997. Constructed in 1919 at a cost of, the school was built to replace a wooden structure that burned in 1916. From its construction until 1960 it was the only high school within 40 square miles. It continues to serve as a school, and remains architecturally intact.</p><br>
<p>The Fred Baldwin Memorial Home was built in 1910 and endowed by Emily and Henry Perrine Baldwin to provide housing for elderly Hawaiian and haole men. It is named for their son Fred Baldwin . Its architect was H. L. Kerr, who had earlier designed the Old Wailuku Courthouse. In 2011, it was restored by Xorin Balbes to operate as an educational retreat named Lumeria Maui. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on 1 December 2011.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Fred Chambers Baldwin, one of eight children of Emily and Henry P. Baldwin, had graduated from Yale University in 1903, then returned to Maui and to manage Ha‘ikū and Grove ranches. He died at age 24 while visiting relatives in New York, after falling ill and undergoing surgery for appendicitis. Fred was "handsome and charismatic," the most popular of his siblings, and had aspired to manage Haleakala Ranch. Many people lined the roads as his coffin was carried from Kahului Harbor up to the family home at Olinda.</p><br>
<p>Many of the early residents were veterans of World War I and are buried in nearby Makawao Cemetery. During World War II, they were moved to the Pioneer Inn in Lahaina and the facility was converted to a military hospital until wars end. For most of its existence, from 1911 to 1958, the home was run by Ethel Baldwin, the wife of Freds brother Henry Alexander Baldwin, and their daughter Frances, who married J. Walter Cameron of Maui Pineapple Company.</p><br>
<p>After 1958, the buildings provided dormitory space for Maunaolu Seminary. Then Maui Land & Pineapple Company bought the property and housed summer workers there from 1982 until the 1990s. After that, the buildings remained unused until 2009, when they were purchased by SoulSpace Ranch, who undertook the renovation.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>In 1910–1911, Kahului Railroad Company construction crews built the original five buildings in a U-shaped plan around a central lawn and landscape garden. The wooden buildings reflect a primarily American Craftsman style, but with some Neo-classical and vernacular Japanese details. Although the buildings had fallen into disuse, the 2010-2011 renovation was able to preserve much of the original structure and detail.</p><br>
<p>The McMorran and Washburne Department Store Building, also known as the Tiffany Building, is a four-story commercial structure in Eugene, Oregon, in the United States. The original two-story building was constructed in 1902 by Nels Roney as a dry goods store owned by former Eugene mayor J. H. McClung. The building was expanded to four stories in 1913.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>John H. McClung arrived in Oregon and began farming in 1856. With his uncle, he established the first drug store in Eugene in 1859. In 1902 he built the two-story McClung Building at Eighth and Willamette, operating a dry goods store under the name, Cockerline and Fraley. The building featured elements of what came to be known as Chicago commercial style, with large display windows and reduced ornamentation.</p><br>
<p>George H. McMorran and Carl G. Washburne became business partners, opening a dry goods store in 1909. The two had worked as store clerks for Samuel H. Friendly in Eugene. In 1913 McMorran and Washburne purchased and renovated the McClung building, adding two floors. McMorran and Washburne became Eugene&#39;s premiere dry goods store, and in 1927 the store outgrew its location and was moved to a new building at the corner of Broadway and Willamette.McMorran and Washburne occupied the new building until 1939, when J.C. Penney opened at the site. In the 1970s when J.C. Penney vacated the building, the name became the Center Court Building. A history of the Center Court Building is here:</p><br>
<p>When McMorran and Washburne vacated the building, it was purchased by drugstore owners Albert Tiffany and George Davis, and the name was changed to the Tiffany Building.Tiffany-Davis had moved from across the street, having started business two years prior.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places March 2, 1989, under the historic name, McMorran and Washburne Department Store Building.</p><br>
<h2>Current usage</h2><br>
<p>Restaurant and retail businesses occupy the ground floor of the building, and the three upper stories have been converted to apartments.</p><br>
<p>The Lot Hathaway House is a historic residence near East Claridon in the Connecticut Western Reserve region of the USA state of Ohio. Constructed in the early nineteenth century for a transplanted New Englander, the house mixes two of the period&#39;s prominent architectural styles, and it has been named a historic site.</p><br>
<h2>Lot Hathaway</h2><br>
<p>A native of Freetown, Massachusetts, Lot Hathaway performed military service in the War of 1812 It succeeded an earlier residence, which had been destroyed by fire.</p><br>
<h2>House</h2><br>
<p>Built in the Greek Revival style with Adam style influences, the house is a weatherboarded structure, two stories tall, with a broad pediment that extends the width of the house. Entrances are located on the left sides of both the front and the side, which are divided into three and four bays respectively. Among the clearest of the Adam details are the numerous dentils on the pediment, while the Greek Revival remains prominent through elements such as the fluting on both the Ionic-style capitals and the pilasters.</p><br>
<h2>Preservation</h2><br>
<p>In 1974, the Lot Hathaway House was listed on the National Register of Historic Places; it was the countys second site to be given this distinction, following only the Claridon Congregational Church, although the courthouse square in Chardon was given a similar distinction just two days later. Hathways house qualified for designation because of its architecture, due to its place as one of the area&#39;s best Greek Revival houses.</p><br>
<p>St. Luke&#39;s Episcopal Church is an historic Episcopal church in Forest Hills, Queens, a neighborhood of New York City. It was built in three phases that were completed in 1925, 1929, and 1940. The architect was Robert Tappan. The style, described as Collegiate Gothic with Arts and Crafts influences, was chosen to harmonize with surrounding houses in the upscale Forest Hills Gardens development. Tappan was a resident of Forest Hills Gardens and a member of the church, and took no fees for his work. In 1950 a parish house was added, designed by architect Steward Wagner, who was also a resident of the Gardens and a member of the nearby The Church-in-the-Gardens.</p><br>
<p>The church was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2010.</p><br>

<p>Barn House is the site of a summer artists colony in Chilmark, Massachusetts, on the island of Marthas Vineyard. The property includes one of the oldest houses in Chilmark, a barn dating from the 1780s, and facilities constructed primarily during the 1920s by the Chilmark Associates to facilitate its use as a summer retreat. The property represents aspects of the island&#39;s development from its agrarian origins to a summer vacation destination.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>English settlement of the island of Martha&#39;s Vineyard began in 1641. One early settler in what is now Chilmark, Massachusetts was Nathan Skiffe, who established a 50 acre sheep farm in 1686. The raising of sheep continued to be a major business in Chilmark into the 19th century, and his property continued to be used for that purpose by descendants and extended family members into the early 20th century. Skiffe built a house on the property in about 1690. Evidence indicates that some of the timbers used in its construction may have been recycled from other structures, likely hauled from elsewhere on the island. In addition to the house, the only major structure to survive into the 20th century is a barn, dated to the 1780s.</p><br>
<p>In 1919 Gertrude King acquired 43 acre, including the house and barn, on behalf of a group friends who eventually organized as the Chilmark Associates. This group of well-to-do liberal artists, writers, and activists sought to adapt the property for use as a communal summer retreat. To this end they adapted the barn for use as a dining and meeting center for their community, and constructed a series of cabins in which to live. In 1927 they formally named the property "Barn House". The membership of the Chilmark Associates fluctuated over time. Notable members and guests include journalist Walter Lippman, jurist Felix Frankfurter, judge and political activist Dorothy Kenyon, painter Thomas Hart Benton, poet Sylvia Plath, writer Max Eastman.</p><br>
<h2>District elements</h2><br>
<p>Barn House was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2011. The district&#39;s contributing elements include the following buildings:</p><br>

<p>Elmwood Hall is a historic residence in Ludlow, located in the Kentucky portions of the Cincinnati metropolitan area in the United States. Located atop a prominent Ohio River vantage point, it has been named a historic site.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Thomas Carneal was among the first men of early Kenton County. He established his name as one of the founders of the nearby city of Covington, where in 1816 he built the citys first brick house. Both the Covington house (now known as the Carneal House) and Elmwood Hall dominate the surrounding neighborhoods like manor houses. When the city of Ludlow was founded, it was a planned community whose owners had conceived a detailed plan for the whole settlement, with the goal of drawing élite residents. If Carneals plan were to contribute to this goal by setting community standards with his two houses, he failed in Ludlow, but he succeeded in Covington, where his residence today sits at the core of the Riverside Drive Historic District.</p><br>
<p>During some of the houses earliest years, it was home to a locally prominent politician; Carneal won election to the Kentucky General Assembly later in his life. Since that time, the house has served a range of purposes: among its other residents have been English naturalist William Bullock and Israel Ludlow, whose father Israel was the citys namesake and had helped to found Cincinnati.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>Designed by nationally prominent architect Benjamin Henry Latrobe, Elmwood Hall sits atop a hill, and from its octagonal cupola and widows walk, one may see many miles along the Ohio River either to the east or to the west. The houses front faces the river to the north, featuring a grand double door with fanlight, sidelights, a tall staircase, and carven trim, but all of the houses other sides also include extensive detailing. Both sides encompass porches with railings and six narrow columns. The building is topped with a hip roof rising to the widows walk, which is surrounded by a railing identical to the ones found on the porches. Extensive original woodworking survives without substantial changes, and virtually all other woodwork, including the doors and the window frames, also remain with little damage.</p><br>
<p>Some of the original exterior walls have been modified; for example, some of the brick exterior walls have been covered with cement plaster, while the western porch has been converted into a bay window in order to expand the interior space, although the original columns have been saved. The foundation is of limestone, carefully dressed. Like the exterior walls, most of the interior walls are brick, while some framing is yellow poplar with occasional pine floorboards in addition to the extensive ash on the floors and in the lintels.</p><br>
<h2>Preservation</h2><br>
<p>By the late twentieth century, the house had been converted for commercial use, becoming the offices of the Thomas Candy Company. Despite the radical change in its uses, the house remains in fine condition. Although the original ash floors are no longer easily visible, this is purely because of a protective covering that the candy company installed to prevent damage from foot traffic and its machinery. In recognition of its exceptional degree of preservation, the house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in August 1972; it was the second location in Kenton County to be given this distinction, although more than sixty different locations in the county now possess it, including the Riverside Drive Historic District in which Carneal&#39;s other house is located.</p><br>
<p>In 2019, the Kentucky Historical Society will install a historical marker at the site.</p><br>
<p>The Brook Arts Center, formerly Brook Theatre, is a historic theater located at 10 Hamilton Street in Bound Brook of Somerset County, New Jersey. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on May 5, 2014, for its significance in entertainment and performing arts.</p><br>
<h2>History and description</h2><br>
<p>The theater was designed by William E. Lehman. It was built by Alexander Morecraft, a Bound Brook resident, and had a grand opening on January 19, 1927. Originally a 1,300-seat vaudeville house, the theater was the hub of a theater district serving surrounding towns and counties. As motion pictures took over in the 1930s, the theater became a performing arts center and first-run movie house, operating until the floods of 1999 and 2007 required extensive rebuilding. The theater is notable for its contributions to Bound Brook and remains the only surviving vaudeville theater in the county.</p><br>
<p>The theater offers plays, bands, dance, silent film and classic movies year round. The venue is a rental house for plays, film shoots, and various other events. The Brook Arts Center is also home of the Brook Orchestra and Brook Arts Center Community Players.</p><br>
<p>The Indiana Theatre is a historic theater in Terre Haute, Indiana, United States. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on November 13, 1997 and is located in the Wabash Avenue-East Historic District. It opened on January 28, 1922. The theatre was built by Terre Haute resident T. W. Barhydt and was designed by John Eberson. Eberson, who later developed the atmospheric theater style of movie palace, first experimented with atmospheric design elements at the theatre. Eberson stated, "Into this Indiana Theatre I have put my very best efforts and endeavors in the art of designing a modern theatre such as I have often pictured as what I would do were I given a free hand." Through this quote Eberson suggests that the Indiana Theatre embodies the raw beginning of his experiment with a "dream" theater that marked the beginning shift to his atmospheric style.</p><br>
<p>Throughout its history, the theatre has hosted a wide range of events that have included vaudeville, cinema, performing arts and community celebrations of all types. Long time employees remember nostalgic entertainers such as Frank Sinatra, Red Skelton, Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz, Jack Burns, and the Marx Brothers Road Shows at the Indiana Theater. The Indiana Theatre was chosen as the site for the world premiere screening of Disney&#39;s McFarland, USA on November 20, 2014.</p><br>
<p>Through restoration efforts which began in May 2013, the Indiana Theatre&#39;s heritage has been preserved and the Indiana has been reborn as a 1,600 seat full service event center which can host a wide range of community gatherings that include live entertainment, performing arts, cinema, wedding events, and fundraisers.</p><br>
<h2>Construction</h2><br>
<p>The John Schumacher Company of Indianapolis was the builder and the cost of construction was $1,000,000 in 1922 dollars. Construction consisted of 1,665,000 bricks, 7,250 yards of excavation, 24,500 s.f. of cement floor, and 283 tons of steel. All fabrication and plaster work was prepared onsite and the project design and construction was completed in 18+ months. The theater lighting system was the most modern system in the nation. The Indiana Theatre was originally built for vaudeville and silent movies but was adapted to talking movies as vaudeville faded from prominence. Originally, the building façade featured an enormous peacock which consisted of 3,000 lights and “lit up the corner of 7th and Ohio like nothing ever seen before".</p><br>
<h2>Opening Night</h2><br>
<p>On January 27, 1922 dignitaries were invited for a sneak preview of the Theatre. On this night T.W. Barhydt received telegrams from Paramount stars in Hollywood: Bebe Daniels, Gloria Swanson, Rudolph Valentino, Jack Holt, Betty Compton, Wallace Reid, and Adolph Zukor. The Indiana Theatre opened its doors to the public on January 28, 1922. Movie tickets were 25 cents before 6pm and 40 cents after 6pm, a ticket to sit in one of the boxes was 50 cents, and children under 12 were admitted for 10 cents. Theatre staff were dressed for the opening in authentic Spanish attire and live peacocks roamed through the Theatre. A 30 piece orchestra played an overture before the opening silent movie, Cappy Ricks. The first talking movie was shown in the Indiana Theatre on March 13, 1929. The orchestra was directed by Raymond B. Townsley. Old fashioned songs were sung by Jackson Murray and Marion Mills. A fashion show with clothing from Siegels department store was part of the opening activities. In addition to the movie Cappy Ricks and the Siegels fashion show, there were five acts of Broadway vaudeville, short subjects, and a prologue.</p><br>
<h2>Theodore W. Barhydt</h2><br>
<p>The Founding President of the Indiana Theatre was T.W. Barhydt. Mr. Barhydt was the driving force to build the Indiana Theatre with family roots in Opera, Theatre and Vaudeville. Mr. Barhydt was prominent in Terre Haute business with ties to the Terre Haute House Hotel, Grand Opera House (1897), Varieties Theatre (1907), Hippodrome Theatre (Terre Haute, Indiana) (Scottish Rite Temple 1916), and Indiana Theatre Corporation (Formed 1920). The Hippodrome is the oldest remaining vaudeville theater in America which was built at the cost of $100,000. John Eberson was the architect and designer of the Hippodrome, TW Barhydt&#39;s personal residence, and the Indiana Theatre. Mr. Barhydt built the Indiana Theatre as a gift of appreciation to Terre Haute because he wanted to erase the perception of Terre Haute being a “One Street Town” (Wabash Avenue – Highway 40).</p><br>
<h2>Design</h2><br>
<p>The Indiana Theatre was designed to emulate the warmth and carefree lifestyle of Spanish Andalusia and the spirit of its people. The ceiling styles were drawn from Moorish designs with the lobby figurines and other building features influenced by Southern Italy. The Theatre was designed to take visitors through the Lifecycle Of A Day with vibrant daybreak, daytime warmth and mystic nightfall. The Rotunda colors shift from light pastel in the churrigueresque to fierce reds and golds of a sunrise in the railing, leaving the remnants of dawn in the deep burgundys of the dome sky. The Lobby Ballroom simulates the more subdued colors and imagery of daytime to transition visitors from morning to nightfall; 38 male & female statues line both sides and an ornate ceiling with even more faces to fill the lobby with life. The Auditorium represents the mystic mystery of nightfall and guests experience the deep tones of reds, blues, and browns. The original lighting system scattered light across the ceiling with special crystal bulb enclosures to simulate a star field. This is in line with the atmospheric design of the ceiling resembling the open sky.</p><br>
<p>The auditorium was designed without a true balcony; this was intended to make the auditorium reminiscent of a Roman amphitheater built on a hillside. The continuous rise in the seating assured better viewing for all seating. The 6,000 bulb lighting system was greatly hyped prior to the Theatre opening. Lights were rheostatically controlled and could be dimmed to create any color. The opening night program stated “the lighting effects represent in a wonderful manner the Andalusian sunshine in the outer lobbies while one is in the midst of mystic twilight in the main auditorium.” Originally, the projector was in a glass booth in the center of the auditorium, 78 feet from the screen. There was an intercom system so ushers could communicate with others in the auditorium to check on the availability of seats. Part of the system still exits by the Lobby entrance doors.</p><br>
<h2>The Theatre today</h2><br>
<p>Significant paint and plasterwork restoration has been completed around the building and 300 theatre seats were removed to make way for a flat terrace in the auditorium. The orchestra pit was also covered, except for a section that will be the future home of an antique Wurlitzer pipe organ console. The terrace and covered orchestra pit provide valuable open floor space to make the auditorium more versatile and capable of table seating. The terrace can accommodate 175 for table seating and the orchestra deck can hold 25. The lobby can accommodate 200. Portable bars are available in the auditorium and lobby as well. Other upgrades include digital projection, a new sound system, and LED atmospheric lighting. Future upgrades include new theatre seats and expansion in other areas of the building to provide more space for events and amenities.</p><br>
<p>The Tashmoo Springs Pumping Station is a historic waterworks facility in Tisbury, Massachusetts, on the island of Marthas Vineyard. The pump station and associated works were first constructed by private interests in the 1880s to provide a reliable water supply for the burgeoning resort areas of Tisbury as well as the port of Vineyard Haven. The facilities were taken over by the town in the early 20th century, after which some alterations were made to accommodate technological improvements. Following a series of hurricanes in the mid-20th century, which highlighted the risks of the stations location and ability to provide reliable drinking water, the town abandoned the facility. Since then it has been largely abandoned, although it was used in the 1990s by a bottled water interest, and some work has been done to preserve the Late Victorian main pumping station building.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The town of Tisbury, Massachusetts occupies the West Chop portion of the island of Marthas Vineyard. It is separated from neighboring West Tisbury by a line including Lake Tashmoo, a saltwater lake on the western side of the chop, and a freshwater spring that fed the lake. The Tisbury area was settled in the 17th century, and has since then been home to the islands major port, Vineyard Haven.</p><br>
<p>The northern reaches of West Chop were used for agriculture well into the 19th century. Interest in developing the area as a summer resort began in the 1870s with several failed proposals, but began in a serious way in the 1880s with the establishment of the West Chop Land Company. Financial interests in that company, seeking a reliable water supply for the growing development, formed the Vineyard Haven Water Company in 1886. This company purchased 30 acre of land, including Tashmoo Spring and lakefront on Lake Tashmoo, and in 1887 constructed a steam-powered pumping station at a cost of $48.300. It was the island&#39;s first water pumping station.</p><br>
<p>The pumping station was powered by two steam engines, and drew water from the lake. It was delivered by a series of pipes to the new development at West Chop, and to Vineyard Haven, where it supplied water for a few fire hydrants and private homes. It was relatively quickly found to be inadequate for the needs of water supply and of fire prevention, and the private company was criticized for its high rates. The town took over the facility from the company in 1905 by eminent domain.</p><br>
<p>Between 1905 and 1931 the town expanded the capacity of the system, and introduced new technology to improve its reliability, building an addition onto the main station in 1907. The facility was converted from steam power to electricity in 1919, necessitating further alterations to the plant to accommodate new equipment.</p><br>
<p>In 1932, a major hurricane breached the sandbar that separates Lake Tashmoo from the Atlantic Ocean. This increased the salinity of the water in the lake, and highlighted to the town the risks of the facilitys location to its water supply. It consequently constructed a dike to isolate a portion of upper end of the lake from saltwater incursion. This dike was breached by a hurricane in 1944, introducing salt water into the stations intake well. Hurricane Carol in 1954 swamped the pumphouse, disabling the equipment. By this time the town had already begun seeking alternatives to the Tashmoo Spring supply, and a new well was able to supply the town during the outage. The town stopped using the Tashmoo Spring facility as its primary water supply in 1971.</p><br>
<p>After that the facilities fell into decline. They were briefly revived in the 1980s by a private interest that sold Tashmoo Spring Bottled Water until 1999. The town has since then taken steps to restore the main pumping station&#39;s roof, and has placed a preservation restriction on the building. 17 acre of land area, encompassing the surviving elements of the water works, were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2008.</p><br>
<p>The Schnull–Rauch House, sometimes referred to as the Victorian Manor and now also branded as The Manor at The Children&#39;s Museum of Indianapolis, is a National Register of Historic Places-designated Romanesque Revival historic home constructed in the early 20th century at 3050 North Meridian Street, north of downtown Indianapolis, Indiana.</p><br>
<p>In 1979, the building was donated by John Rauch Jr. to the Junior League of Indianapolis to be used for their headquarters and operated as an event venue and house museum. In 2009, the building was purchased by The Children&#39;s Museum of Indianapolis, which sits on adjacent property, and is currently an event venue.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The land on which the house was built was purchased by Gustav A. and Matilda Mayer Schnull, of the wealthy Schnull merchant family, in 1901. They worked together with the architect Bernard Vonnegut of Vonnegut and Bohn, who was the husband of Matildas sister, in designing the house, and the Brandt Brothers firm built it. Construction began in the fall of 1902, and the Schnulls and their three daughters moved in on April 4, 1904. After Matildas death in 1923, their daughter Gertrude and her husband John G. Rauch, a lawyer who became president of the Art Association of Indianapolis, joined Gustav in the home. The house remained a residence for the Rauch family until the late 1970s, and kept its original furnishings and design into the modern era.</p><br>
<p>After John Rauch died in February 1978, his son John Rauch Jr. worked with the Historic Landmarks Foundation of Indiana to conduct a study on the future use of the home, intending to donate it for community use. There was serious consideration given to converting the building into the official mayors residence, official city reception house, a community center, a house museum, or allowing The Childrens Museum of Indianapolis to absorb it. After city use of the building was ruled out due to the taxpayer expense that would be required for its upkeep, the Rauch family eventually decided to donate it to the Junior League of Indianapolis. The first floor remained true to the original decorations, and was used for receptions and as a museum, while the second floor was rented for other non-profits&#39; use, and the third floor was reserved for the Junior League headquarters. The Junior League moved its headquarters to the building and constructed a parking lot in 1981, and in 1983 it completed the restoration of the structure. The house was built to be used for entertaining, with a spacious ballroom with a dance floor, formal drawing room, and library, and these features have allowed it to continue to be used as a popular venue for weddings and other events; by the 1990s, reservations were required a year in advance for wedding receptions due to its popularity.</p><br>
<p>The Childrens Museum of Indianapolis purchased the property from the Junior League in 2008, to be used for events. In the spring of 2013, the house was renovated as part of the St. Margarets Hospital Guilds annual Decorators Show House and Gardens charity event. The Childrens Museum brands the building as "The Manor at The Childrens Museum of Indianapolis".</p><br>
<h2>Architectural and historical significance</h2><br>
<p>The three-story structure is described as Romanesque Revival architecture. The house was originally decorated with oriental rugs from Persia, moire silk wallpaper, several ornate mantles, stained glass windows, heavy velvet curtains, hand-carved woodwork, inlaid hardwood floors, and marble bathrooms—much of which survives to the present. The building is unique in being the only remaining historic home of its era along Meridian Street not to have been demolished or remodeled as offices. The house also exhibits many surviving objects from the Schnull and Mayer German immigrant families to which Gustav and Matilda Schnull belonged, prominent in the Indianapolis banking and wholesaling industries in the late 19th century.</p><br>
<p>Called "one of the best-designed of the city&#39;s Meridian Street mansions" by the Indianapolis Historic Preservation Commission, the house is also an outstanding example of the architecture of Bernard Vonnegut, a German-trained architect and the first licensed architect in Indiana, who designed many other Indianapolis landmarks. He took a special interest in the house, as he was personally designing it for his brother- and sister-in-law. He also designed the china cabinets, mantelpieces, and carved wood sideboards. The house is architecturally distinctive for its castle keep-inspired tower, thick brick walls, red tile roof, and large stone porch entrance.</p><br>
<p>Located in southern Rutherford County, Tennessee, where Harrison Lane crosses the West Fork of The Stones River, the Morgan House remains.</p><br>
<p>Peter Coffee, Sr. (1716-Nov 1771) was born in Ireland and married Susannah Mathews (1701–1796), and they immigrated to Virginia. Peter and Susannah had a son Joshua Coffee (Jan 26, 1745 – Sept 8, 1797) who married Elizabeth Graves (Jan 28, 1751 – Feb 25, 1804) and they had a daughter Mary Coffee (Aug 15, 1774 – Apr 28, 1839).</p><br>
<p>Originally constructed in 1811 by General John Coffee (June 2, 1772 – July 7, 1833), the home was presented to his sister Mary Harris (née Coffee) (August 15, 1774 - April 28, 1839), on the occasion of her wedding Simpson Harris, (November 21, 1768 - May 8, 1833). The land was purchased from the inheritance the Coffee siblings received from their father, Lieutenant Joshua Coffee, as detailed in his will. (John Coffee married Mary Donelson, the daughter of Captain John Donelson III and Mary Purnell, on October 3, 1809. A paternal aunt of Mrs. Coffee was Andrew Jackson&#39;s wife, Rachel Donelson Robards).</p><br>
<p>Mary Coffee married Simpson Harris (Nov 21, 1768 – May 8, 1833) and they had a daughter Harriet Hutchens Harris (Feb 29, 1797 – Feb 20, 1861) who married Samuel C. Morgan (Feb 26, 1794 – Aug 8, 1824). Their son John William Morgan (Jul 8, 1818 – Oct 22, 1901) married Isabella Caroline Means (Jul 4 1824 – Dec 11, 1881). And their son Carey Morgan (Dec 15, 1865 – Jun 16, 1942) married Frankie Lavinia McLain (Mar 4, 1874 – Oct 9, 1911) who are also the parents of Harvey Logan Morgan (Aug 30 1900 – May 1970).</p><br>
<p>William Morgan (1818-1901) and Caroline Means Morgan (1824-1881), settled adjacent to the Coffee property in the vicinity of the recently known Whitworth/Westmorland farm, situated south of Campground Road, across from the Morgan Family Cemetery. Richard ("Dick") Carey Morgan (December 15, 1865 - June 16, 1942) the 10th child of William and Caroline, purchased the Harris property as a replacement home, when the house William built burned in the early 1900s. The property was purchased and remodeled by Mr. Dick Morgan and has remained in the Morgan family as the geographical homeplace.</p><br>
<p>The property was passed from Mr. Dick Morgan to his son, Harvey Logan Morgan and his wife Nora Shelton Morgan, and to their son James Coleman Morgan who resides at the home today with his wife Nancy Morgan.</p><br>
<p>The McColloch-Weatherhogg Double House, also known as the J. Ross McCulloch House, is a historic residential building constructed in 1883 in the Victorian Gothic Revival style at 334-336 E. Berry St., Fort Wayne, Indiana. The building is now the home of United Way of Allen County and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on December 7, 2001.</p><br>
<p>The house was built for banker Charles McCulloch, whose father Hugh McCulloch was Secretary of the Treasury under Presidents Abraham Lincoln, Andrew Johnson and Chester A. Arthur.</p><br>
<p>Charles&#39; sons John Ross McCulloch and Frederick McCulloch eventually lived on both sides of the house. It was also the residence of prominent local architect Charles R. Weatherhogg.</p><br>
<p>The home was once on the Historic Landmarks Foundation of Indiana&#39;s 10 Most Endangered Buildings List and in disrepair. The Historic Landmarks Foundation restored the building and adjacent carriage house beginning in 2003. Fort Wayne businessman Jerry Henry purchased the home in 2005 and did his own rehabilitation of the structure for the United Way. Kelty Tappy Design supervised the rehabilitation and also developed and filed the paperwork for historic certification with the National Park Service.</p><br>
<p>The John Claus Peters House is a historic home at 832 West Wayne Street in Fort Wayne, Indiana. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on September 17, 1980. It is part of Fort Wayne&#39;s West End Historic District. It was built in 1885 for Mary and John Claus Peters who had seven children. John Wing designed the Queen Anne style house. It has eight fireplaces.</p><br>
<p>J.C. Peters was born in Fort Wayne in 1848 and was the grandfather of actress Carole Lombard. His business&#39;s included Horton Washing Machine Company (established in 1871), the Wayne Hotel (acquired in 1886), Indiana Road Machine Co., and Peters Hardware.</p><br>
<p>The Justin Zimmer House is a residence in Warsaw, Indiana at 2513 East Center Street. The home was designed by Alvin M. Strauss and built in 1934.

<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on December 19, 1991.</p><br>
<p>The Tipton County Courthouse is a historic courthouse located at Tipton, Tipton County, Indiana. The courthouse is Tipton&#39;s third and was completed in 1894. Sherrer took over the architectural design work for the Indiana Statehouse project from Edwin May who died in 1880. Five years after the completion of the capitol building project in 1888, Scherrer began work on the Tipton County Courthouse building.</p><br>
<p>It is built of sandstone in a Romanesque Revival style with a clock tower that rises 206 feet above the ground. It is topped by a flagstaff. The building was constructed by Pierce and Morgan of Indianapolis during 1893 and 1894 at a cost of $170,988. It is one of several Romanesque courthouses dating from the 1890s that are still in use.</p><br>
<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on March 1, 1984.</p><br>
<p>The Charles E. Swannell House is a Prairie School house in Kankakee, Illinois, United States. Designed by Tallmadge & Watson in the Prairie School style, it originally belonged to a local merchant.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Charles Edward Swannell was born in Momence, Illinois in 1856. He attended Lake Forest Academy and the Jacksonville Business College. His father Frederick founded a dry goods store, which Charles joined in 1871; five years later, he was named a partner. His brother Arthur joined the firm in 1882, when he purchased his father&#39;s interest in the store. The company, C. E. & A. Swannell, owned and operated the Swannell Building at the corner of Court Street and Shuyler Avenue in Kankakee. The building had a dry goods store, public market, blacksmith, and offices.</p><br>
<p>The house was designed by Prairie School architectural firm Tallmadge & Watson. It is the only building by the architects in Kankakee. The firm designed the house in 1911; three years later it was featured in a publication entitled Fireproof Houses of NATCO Hollow Tile. On June 3, 1982, the house was recognized by the National Park Service with a listing on the National Register of Historic Places. On August 22, 1986, it was also listed as a contributing property to the Riverview Historic District.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The Charles E. Swannell House is on a 100 x lot on the Kankakee River in Kankakee. The main facade faces east toward South Chicago Avenue. Built on a concrete foundation, the two-story house has an attic and a massive hipped roof. A dormer window from the attic faces west. The roof has cedar shingles with metal ridges. Like many Tallmadge & Watson houses, the exterior walls are gently sloped inward as they rise. The walls are built with 10 in NATCO hollow clay tiles covered in cream-colored stucco. These walls are decorated with brick for the water table and a stringcourse under the rood. The house is divided into three bays; the northern bay of the main facade features a rectangular open porch.</p><br>
<p>The White–Haines Building, also known as C. O. Haines Optical Company Building, is a historic building located at 82 North High Street in Downtown Columbus, Ohio. The building is part of the High and Gay Streets Historic District on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>The building has a concrete frame, glazed terra-cotta exterior in a grid of pilasters and horizontal spandrels. It is adorned in leaf motifs (trefoil or cloverleaf) and the north storefront that was once a jewelry store has detailed bronze-colored metal. It was built in 1913 and designed by Richards, McCarty & Bulford.</p><br>
<p>The Cranston–Geary House also known locally as the Bramson Home is a historic home listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The house is a Craftsman-style home designed by George Sellon, California&#39;s first state architect.</p><br>
<p>The home has been featured on Sacramento Old City Association&#39;s home tour and street fair.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Cranston-Geary house, built in 1909 at the northeast corner of G and Twenty-first Streets in the historic neighborhood of Boulevard Park, is an exceptional example of California Craftsman architecture.</p><br>
<p>Although many Sacramento houses from the early 1900s have Craftsman elements, very few of them offer such a distinctive and original expression of this important architectural style.</p><br>
<p>On March 14, 1909, the Sacramento Union reported that Robert E. Cranston was about to begin work on a $10,000 residence and garage that had been designed by the</p><br>
<p>architectural firm of Sellon & Hemmings.</p><br>
<p>The building permit was issued to Cranston two months later (May 20, 1909).16 It indicated that the two-story frame dwelling and its garage were</p><br>
<p>expected to cost $11,000, an increase over the price estimated in March. Three years later, when it was sold to the Geary family, the house was reported by a Sacramento Bee</p><br>
<p>journalist to have cost more than $25,000 to build.</p><br>
<h2>Architects</h2><br>
<p>The licensed architects were George Sellon and E. C. Hemmings, known as Sellon & Hemmings. Its two principals had established their reputations as architects outside Sacramento and were both candidates for the new position of State Architect when it was created after the San Francisco earthquake in 1906. Ultimately the appointment went to Sellon, who became California&#39;s first State Architect in 1907.</p><br>
<p>The Cranston house may have been the first residential project undertaken by Sellon and Hemmings after they set up their Sacramento office. It also may have been</p><br>
<p>their last one as a team, because they dissolved their partnership in early August 1909, while the house still was under construction.11 Although both men went on to design</p><br>
<p>other homes in Sacramento, including at least two in the Boulevard Park neighborhood, the Cranston house is the only one known to have been undertaken by them as an</p><br>
<p>architectural firm.</p><br>
<h2>Interior Elements</h2><br>
<p>The leaded glass windows are interesting features in the first story of the Cranston house and the ground-floor rooms also have an impressive amount of carefully crafted and installed woodwork.</p><br>
<p>Stained wooden panels cover much of the wall surface in the dining room. The study (or den, as it was called in 1909) is completely surfaced in wood. The walls are covered with</p><br>
<p>wood panels and there is a beamed wooden ceiling overhead.</p><br>
<p>Olive Furnace, also known as Mount Olive Furnace, is a historic iron furnace site on State Route 93 at Township Road 239 , north of Pedro, Ohio in Washington Township, Lawrence County, Ohio. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on April 12, 2007. The Mt. Olive Furnace Park Corporation currently owns the site and is planning to proceed with the restoration of the buildings surrounding the old stack and arch.</p><br>
<p>Gary Bathing Beach Aquatorium, formerly known as Lakefront Park Bathhouse and also known as Chanute Aquatorium, is located at One Marquette Drive at Miller Beach in Marquette Park, Gary, Indiana. The aquatorium was designed by George Washington Maher and constructed in 1921. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on November 25, 1994. It has been converted to a museum of flight, honoring Octave Chanute and the Tuskegee Airmen.</p><br>
<p>It was built as a shower/bathroom/changing facility in 1921 and was dubbed the Lakefront Park Bathhouse. It was a major focal point of the Miller Beach community for decades. The building is architecturally significant as one of the earliest examples of pre-cast concrete modular construction. Ninety percent of the building is built with only six basic cast blocks, the most basic being the T-Block, a precursor of today&#39;s standard concrete block.</p><br>
<p>By the 1960s the facility was falling into major disrepair. In 1971 the building was closed to the public and boarded up.</p><br>
<p>The Aquatorium was rescued from demolition by the Chanute Aquatorium Society in 1991. The Society invented the word Aquatorium meaning "place to view the water" in order to disassociate the structure with the word bathhouse.</p><br>
<h2>Conversion to a museum of flight</h2><br>
<p>No longer a place to change or shower, the building now serves as a museum honoring Octave Chanute, the father of flight. Chanute conducted some of the first heavier-than-air glider flights in human history in the high dunes just yards from the structure. His successful experiments and glider designs paved the way for the Wright brothers powered flight at Kitty Hawk. The building also honors the Tuskegee Airmen, aeronautic pioneers who spearheaded the integration of the armed forces. Hundreds of thousands of dollars have been raised for the buildings restoration and revamping.</p><br>
<p>Lee Construction Management of Miller was employed to begin restoration of the facility. In the spring of 1998, they demolished the east showers and began construction of new wing in January 1999. In the spring of 2000 major reconstruction of the second floor waterproofed the first-floor areas so museum space could be constructed below. The cornerstone for The Tuskegee Airmen Wing of the new museum was laid January 17, 1999.</p><br>
<p>The American Sheet and Tin Mill Apartment Building, one of the Edison Concept Houses, is a historic building at 633 West 4th Avenue in Gary, Indiana. The building was designed by D. F. Creighton and constructed in 1910. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on June 17, 2009. It was built by the United States Sheet & Tin Plate Co.</p><br>
<p>Thousands moved to Gary in the early 1900s for work in the burgeoning steel industry. Providing housing quickly and affordably, Thomas Edison&#39;s 1906 proposal of pouring a concrete mixture into a single mold for the façades, roof, stairs, walls, and other parts of a house was adopted for company housing (Edison was not directly involved).</p><br>
<p>Dunlap&#39;s Dining Room was a restaurant operated out of the residence of black entrepreneur George T. Dunlap in Sacramento, California. The business was popular in its time and building is now listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Dunlap built his home in 1906 as a small, 4-room, pink-colored bungalow in the Oak Park neighborhood of Sacramento. As his family grew, he would build additions to the home. Opening the home&#39;s dining room as a restaurant in 1930, the business continued until his retirement in 1968.</p><br>
<p>During its run, the restaurant never offered a printed menu. Instead, patrons were able to choose from three entree options: fried chicken, baked ham, and T-bone steak. Despite its quaint approach, the establishment hosted such visitors as Frank Merriam, Earl Warren, and C.K. McClatchy.</p><br>
<p>Dunlap&#39;s Dining Room was included in The Negro Motorist Green Book, a travel guide for African-Americans listing places that would not refuse them service.</p><br>
<h2>Renovations</h2><br>
<p>In 1997, George Dunlaps daughter, Audrey Dunlap Wilcox, donated the home, now featuring 2,000 ft&sup2, to the Sacramento Childrens Home with the request that it be used to help the families in Oak Park. In 2001, the home had a major renovation project costing $300,000 and turning the home into a family resource center for the county.</p><br>
<p>The project included a new foundation for the house while keeping the original hardwood flooring. A fresh coat of pink paint was applied to maintain the original color of Dunlap&#39;s Dining Room.</p><br>
<p>The Universalist Meeting House of Sheshequin is a historic church, built in 1827 in Bradford County, Pennsylvania. The church is currently used during the months of July and August by the Unitarian Universalist Church of Athens and Sheshequin.</p><br>
<p>Surrounding the church is a contributing cemetery. The cemetery predates the meeting house by about 30 years, but was operated together with the church from 1827 to 1914.</p><br>
<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2013.</p><br>

<p>The Frank Howard Building is a commercial building at 124–132 Fenn Street and 67–71 Federal Street in Pittsfield, Massachusetts. The 1916 Classical Revival building was designed by Joseph McArthur Vance, a prominent local architect, and is the best preserved of his works. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2012.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Frank Howard Building occupies the eastern portion of a city block, facing Fenn, Federal and 1st Streets to the northeast of Pittsfields central Park Square. It is a three-story timber-framed structure, its exterior clad in brick with limestone trim, resting on a granite foundation. The north facade faces Fenn Street, and has two commercial storefronts, each with plate glass display windows and recessed entrances. That on the right is slightly larger, and originally housed Frank Howards hardware business. The upper floors of the street-facing facades are divided into pairs of bays, separated by brick pilasters. Sash windows are set in rectangular openings, with stone lintels, and stringcourses serving as sills beneath them on the third floor. The building is topped by a decorative parapet surrounding a flat roof.</p><br>
<p>The block was built for Frank Howard, owner of a successful hardware and agricultural implements business, after Howard lost the lease on his existing storefront on North Street. The building was designed by Joseph McArthur Vance, a local architect who had designed other commercial buildings in downtown Pittsfield. The Howard building represents one of the best preserved of Vance&#39;s works.</p><br>
<p>Frank Howard&#39;s sons continued to run the family business in the building until 1960, making only modest alterations to it. The building remained in the hands of his surviving son Arthur, after which it had a succession of owners. Portions of the building remained vacant throughout this time, and in 2010 it was sold to A.C. Enterprises, which is overseeing a historically sensitive conversion to mixed used.</p><br>
<p>Springside Park is a recreational city park on the north side of Pittsfield, Massachusetts. At 237.5 acre it is the city&#39;s largest park. Much of the park is wooded, providing for passive recreational opportunities such as hiking. The southwestern section of the park, nearest to North Street, is developed, with ballfields, a bath house, pond, and Springside House, an Italianate mansion whose early construction dates to c. 1856. Some of the parklands are also used for the Hebert Arboretum. Through the 1960s the City of Pittsfield operated a ski rope tow and provided ski lessons at the park. The park was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2008.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In the early 19th century, the area that is now Springside Park was farmland, much of which belonged to the Strong family. In 1808, Asahel Strong sold water rights to springs on land that may now be in the park to the Pittsfield Water Works Company. Sometime in the late 1840s or early 1850s, Abraham Burbank established a gentlemans farm on land purchased from a Strong descendent. A portion of Burbanks land, including the house, was sold in the 1850s to a private boarding school operated by Charles Abbott. Around this time, Burbank apparently began construction on Elmhurst, the building that is now called Springside House. It was further enlarged in the 1870s by John Davol, a businessman who purchased Burbank&#39;s farm in 1872. It was acquired by Clarence Stephens in 1904, and became part of Springside Park in 1938.</p><br>
<p>The formation of the park was spearheaded by former mayor Kelton Miller, who began purchasing land near the Burbank/Davol/Stephens estate in 1908. He and his wife Eva donated 10 acre land south and east of the estate to the city in 1910, and continued to make land donations afterward. The Stephens estate was acquired by Millers sons in 1938 and donated to the city, and the city also acquired from the William Alton Pierce family a 39 acre "cow pasture" on the north side of the estate the same year, making the park over 120 acre in size. Development of the parks infrastructure began in the years following this acquisition. The park was reduced in size when the nearby school was built, but the city compensated by making additional land acquisitions, eventually bringing the park to its present size.</p><br>
<p>Hall School in Hall, Indiana, was designed by Henry H. Dupont and built in 1911. It is located at 5955 West Hurt Road at Hall in Gregg Township. It is an example of the Craftsman architecture in the vernacular style. The building has 2-floors with six classrooms and additions built in 1957 and 1971. The Morgan County Historic Preservation Society, an affiliate of Indiana Landmarks, nominated the school to the National Register of Historic Places in 2004, a year before the building went vacant due to school consolidation.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004.</p><br>
