<p>Lee station is a former railroad station in Lee, Massachusetts. It was built in 1893 to serve passenger traffic on the Housatonic Railroad, which operated the tracks that run through the town between Pittsfield to the north and Connecticut to the south. It served as the towns main passenger station until passenger service was terminated in 1971 by the Penn Central Railroad, the NYNH&Hs successor. In 1976 the building was converted to office use, and in 1981 it was rehabilitated and opened as a restaurant. It also serves excursions of the Berkshire Scenic Railway Museum. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2010 as Lee Station.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Lee station is located in the village center of Lee, on the west side of Railroad Street at its junction with Elm Street, one block west of Main Street (USA Route 20). It is set parallel to railroad tracks running north-south to its west, which roughly parallel the Housatonic River further west. The station is a single-story wood frame structure, set on a brick basement that is exposed on the track side due to sloping terrain. The exterior is finished in a combination of wooden clapboards and bands of shingles in the Queen Anne style. The street facade has ten asymmetrically placed bays, eight of which have windows and two have doors. The main entrance is located in one of the central bays. The track facade has nine bays, with a central projecting section which originally housed the agent&#39;s office.</p><br>
<p>The station was built in 1893 by the Housatonic Railroad shortly before it was absorbed by the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad (NYNH&H). It served as a combination station, serving both passengers and freight. In peak mid-20th century years of passenger service, the Berkshire, Housatonic, Litchfield, Mahaiwe, Mahkeenac, Taconic, Umpachanee, and unnamed trains made stops at the station on trips between New York City and Pittsfield. Passenger service ended in 1971 and freight service ended in 1973. The railroad played an important role in the towns economy, bringing its manufactured goods (principally paper) and raw materials to market, and bring vacationers to the areas summer estates and boarding houses. It was the busiest station on the line between the major stops of Pittsfield, Massachusetts and Bridgeport, Connecticut.</p><br>
<p>The station, considered surplus by the Penn Central, was sold to private owners in 1976, who first operated a real estate business there, before converting it to a restaurant in 1981.</p><br>
<p>The Lemuel Milk Carriage House or Stone Barn is a historic building in Kankakee, Illinois, United States. It is the last remnant of the estate of Lemuel Milk, who once owned over 25,000 acre of land.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Lemuel Milk moved to Kankakee, Illinois from New York around 1855. An early settler to the area, Milk was among the first to drain the Kankakee region for farming. By purchasing cheap, swampy land for draining, Milk was able to amass a large estate exceeding 25,000 acre. This made him one of the largest landowners in Illinois. Milk opened a department store in Chebanse in 1868, which he ran until 1883. In 1876, he founded the Waldron Ice Company, harvesting ice from the nearby Kankakee River. Milk was a trustee on the board of the Illinois Eastern Hospital for the Insane. Milk&#39;s most ambitious undertaking was the draining of Beaver Lake in Newton County, Indiana.</p><br>
<p>The carriage house, built at some point between 1861 and 1868, is the only remaining structure from Milk&#39;s large estate. Milk lived in a seventeen-room mansion at the corner of Oak and Indiana Avenues, which has since been demolished. Aside from sheltering his carriage, Milk also used the building to house livestock. The carriage house is now the third-oldest building remaining in Kankakee after the First Baptist Church and the Asbury United Methodist Church Sanctuary.</p><br>
<p>The building was used as a barn until the early 1920s, when it was used as a painting garage. It later became a warehouse for Fred Swannell Sr.&#39;s hardware store. The building was converted to a bakery and restaurant in 1973. The restaurant quickly went out of business and the building became a meeting place for civic groups. On June 4, 1979, the carriage house was recognized by the National Park Service with a listing on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The carriage house is built with locally quarried limestone. The roof features a cupola with a weather vane, placed at the crossing of the two gables. The building is largely undecorated except for a wide bracketed cornice. The interior retains its rough cut roof trusses. The floor was changed to concrete in the 1920s.</p><br>
<p>The F. W. Welborn House is located in Fountain Inn, South Carolina. The one-story Craftsman style bungalow was built in 1914 for Frank W. Welborn. It was one of the first houses in the city and is one of the most representative residential examples of the Craftsman style in the city.</p><br>
<p>The house features a brick foundation with weatherboard siding and an internal brick chimney. The house retains the majority of its original detailing, including original pine and oak flooring, trim, molding and detailing.</p><br>
<p>The George Salmon House, also known as the C. Douglas Wilson Farm, is located near Travelers Rest, South Carolina on SC Highway 414, off of US Highway 25.</p><br>
<p>A log house was initially built by George Salmon, a surveyor and one of the earliest settlers to the area, ca1784. Additions to the house transformed it into a two-story plantation plain style house on a brick foundation with a gable roof. In addition to the house, four other contributing properties are on the property including two multipurpose storage buildings, a chicken coop and a smokehouse.</p><br>
<p>Ellsworth City Hall is the seat of local government in Ellsworth, Maine. Built in 1934-35 after a devastating fire destroyed the old city hall and part of the business district, it is a municipal building with Georgian Revival features unusual for Maine. The building was designed by Philadelphia architect Edmund Gilchrist, and is reflective of that area. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Ellsworth City Hall stands on a hill north of United States Route 1, overlooking the citys central business district, separated from it by a parking lot. It is a two-story brick building, with a horizontal gable-roofed main block, which is flanked by hip-roofed perpendicular wings, and which has a center projecting gable-roof entry section. The flanking wings are joined to the main block by flat-roofed sections. The gable of the projecting center section is filled with carved painted woodwork, including a rendition of the citys seal. At the center of the main block an octagonal cupola rises to a round roof with spire.</p><br>
<p>The Ellsworth downtown area was devastated by a fire on May 7, 1933, whose casualties included the old city hall. The disastrous fire made it necessary to plan a complete new layout for the Civic Center. This plan included a new City Hall with Fire Station in one end of the basement; also a large parking space where an unsightly back area of stores existed. The estimated cost, which included the removal of about 12,000 cubic yards of dirt, was prohibitive at that time. This developed into an excellent project for manual labor when the Federal Civil Works Administration (CWA) was initiated in November, 1933. Work was carried on throughout the winter by the CWA and Maine Emergency Relief Administration (MERA). They completed the job in the fall of 1935. Work was given to an average of 65 men over an eight month period. An interesting feature of this work was that dirt removed was used on the High School Athletic Field nearby. The City Hall was completed under a Reconstruction Finance Corporation (RFC) loan. Edmund Gilchrist, a Philadelphia architect who summered on nearby Mount Desert Island, was chosen to design the new building, in which particular attention was paid to the use of fireproof materials. Gilchrist also made recommendations, ultimately not carried out, for a larger-scale redesign of the downtown area in the aftermath of the fire. The buildings design features are more reflective of Gilchrists experience with historic Georgian structures in Philadelphia than they are of rural Maine.</p><br>
<p>Birdsacre Sanctuary, also known as Stanwood Wildlife Sanctuary, is an historic house museum and wildlife sanctuary at 289 High Street in Ellsworth, Maine, United States. The core of the property is a 40 acre parcel owned by the pioneering Maine ornithologist Cordelia Stanwood, whose home was opened as a museum in 1960, and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973. Stanwoods homestead was extensively damaged by an arsonist-set fire in 2014. The sanctuary, now 200 acre, includes trails, an orchard, and a nature center that showcases a fine art and nature collection, including Cordelia J. Stanwoods avian field-notes and extensive photographic collection.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Birdsacre Sanctuary is set south of Ellsworth&#39;s central business district, on the west side of Maine State Route 3, which connects Ellsworth to Bar Harbor. The Stanwood homestead, standing near the road, is a modest c. 1850 Cape style wood-frame house, which housed much original material, including artifacts of Cordelia Stanwood, prior to the 2014 fire. Stanwood was a self-taught ornithologist and naturalist who devoted 50 years of her life to studying the birds and nature of the area around her homestead. Following her death in 1958, community activists joined to acquire her property, which was opened as a museum and sanctuary in 1960. The efforts of the activists were led by Chandler S. Richmond who became the first curator of the sanctuary and museum.</p><br>
<p>The wildlife sanctuary, now enlarged to about 200 acre, has a network of trails, some of which were laid out by Stanwood, and feature a variety of landscapes and habitats in which different types of birds may be observed. A nature center, built in 1990, houses a collection of mounted birds and mammals, as well as a collection of eggs and nests. Some parts of this collection are more than 100 years old.</p><br>
<p>The Stanwood homestead was devastated by a fire set on March 6, 2014, destroying much of the buildings historic fabric, and a significant number of artifacts from Stanwoods life, including her camera and typewriter. Some artifacts, including many of her field notes, were spared by the flames.</p><br>

<p>Greer Heritage Museum is a local history museum in Greer, South Carolina, near the Greenville-Spartanburg International Airport. The museum was founded by Carmela B. Hudson , a native of New Haven, Connecticut, a member of the USA Army Nurse Corps in World War II, a graduate of Furman University, and an elementary school teacher and librarian. Hudson "built the collection from nothing, pulled together a board of directors, and established a non-profit." In 2008, the museum moved to the former Greer post office built in 1935, where its collections were displayed under the direction of another former librarian and English professor, Joada Hiatt, a native of Kentucky. After Hiatt moved from Greer and local interest in the museum had declined, the board, in 2021, chose as director, David Lovegrove, a native of Idaho and chief marketing officer for Bob Jones University. Lovegrove spearheaded a museum revitalization.</p><br>
<p>The museum&#39;s exhibits include displays on Native Americans, agriculture, the textile industry, late 19th-century upper-middle-class life, and popular culture in the mid-20th century.</p><br>
<p>The museum is located in the former Greer Post Office, a building listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The Colonial Revival-style post office was constructed in 1935 under the supervision of the Public Works Administration during the New Deal era and designed by New York City-based architect Donald G. Anderson, with Louis A. Simon named as supervising architect. Unlike this post office, most New Deal-era buildings were designed by in-house architects.</p><br>
<p>The former post office lobby features a mural, "Cotton and Peach Growing," painted in 1940 by the obscure artist Winfield Walkley (1909–1954). Although the mural was roughly handled and covered with paneling when the post office became the Greer city hall in 1968, the paneling was removed in 2008 following acquisition of the property by the museum. The mural is one of 13 commissioned between 1938 and 1941 by the US Department of Treasury&#39;s Section of Fine Arts for South Carolina federal buildings and post offices. In 1964, the building was sold to the city of Greer for use as a city hall.</p><br>

<p>The Old Churchyard Cemetery  is a historic cemetery on Jenks Road in Cheshire. It is one of Cheshire&#39;s oldest cemeteries, and is located near the site of the first Baptist meetinghouse in the town.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Cheshire, Massachusetts was settled as "New Providence" in the 1760s by a group of Baptists from Rhode Island. The main settlement was on what is now called Stafford Hill, in honor of Joab Stafford, one of the settlement&#39;s leaders. In 1786 a deed transferring the cemetery plot to Joab Stafford was recorded, "for a burying place" for the local Baptist church. This deed may have been a formalization of a situation existing since at least 1779. Although ownership of the land seems to have remained with the church, it was constructively abandoned by the mid-20th century, and acquired by the town in 2006. The property was the original site of the first Baptist meetinghouse in the area. That building was moved c. 1820 to a lot on Stafford Hill Road, and was repurposed as a house; it has been much altered since.</p><br>
<p>The cemetery is the burial site of many of Cheshire&#39;s earliest settlers, although it was not where Joab Stafford was buried. The names of 21 families are recorded on its gravestones, and three first settlers of the town are known to be interred there.</p><br>
<p>Most of the early gravestones are plain marble, without any significant decoration. The iconography of the willow and urn came into fashion during the early 19th century, and appears on stones that date to that time. A small number of stones show Greek Revival features. Unlike later cemeteries of the rural cemetery movement, this cemetery was never formally organized, with lanes and formalized rows of graves.</p><br>
<p>The Pelham Mills Site, sometimes referred to as the Buena Vista Factory, Hutchings Factory, or the Lester Factory, is the site of the ruins of the Pelham Mills cotton factory near Greer, South Carolina, on the shores of the Enoree River. Included on the property are stone and brick foundations, the bases of two steam smokestacks, brick pilings, and a mortared stone dam with six sluice gates across the Enoree River.</p><br>
<p>The mill, believed to be the first cotton mill in the Greenville District, was first founded in 1820 as the Hutchings Factory by the Reverend Thomas Hutchings. In 1827, the property was purchased by Philip C. Lester and was known as Lester Factory. By 1850, the property was known as the Buena Vista Factory and retained that name until 1880 when it was sold to the Pelham Manufacturing Company, who in 1882, incorporated their property under the name The Pelham Mills.

In 1942, the house was purchased by Kankakee mayor Albert F. Hattenburg.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>William R. Hunter was born in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada in 1858. Hunter spent much of his early life helping his father on the family farm. He moved to Kankakee, Illinois, United States in 1879. There, he was schooled by the pastor of the local Baptist Church and trained as a stenographer. While working this profession, he studied law in the office of Judge John W. Orr. Hunter was admitted to the bar in 1882, the same year he married his first wife Lillian Morrison. In 1886, after a brief sojourn in Los Angeles, California to recover from bronchitis, Hunter was appointed Kankakee City Attorney. In 1892, he joined Harry K. Wheeler to form a law firm. Lillian died in Colorado Springs, Colorado in January 1893; Hunter married his second wife Zula B. Fry in 1894.</p><br>
<p>By 1898, Hunter had amassed enough of a fortune to build a stately residence on the Kankakee River. The Hunter House cost $6800, three times the average price of a home in Kankakee. In 1933, Hunter was appointed a judge for the 12th Illinois Circuit Court. He served in this role until his death in 1939.</p><br>
<p>Albert F. Hattenburg purchased the house in 1942. Hattenburg moved to Kankakee after World War I and opened the Hattenburg Pharmacy in the Arcade Building. In 1937, Hattenburg was elected mayor of Kankakee as a Republican and served for 16 years. The house remained in the hands of the Hattenburg family until 2001.</p><br>

On August 22, 1986, the house was recognized by the National Park Service as a contributing property to the Riverview Historic District. On January 31, 2008, the house was recognized with an individual listing.</p><br>
<p>The Old State Capitol is located in Milledgeville, Georgia. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on May 13, 1970. It is located on Greene Street and is now a museum. Georgia&#39;s original state capitol was in Louisville, Georgia. On December 12, 1804, the state legislature voted to designate Milledgeville as the capital of Georgia. In 1805, $60,000 was appropriated to build a capitol building; and a planned city with elements of Savannah, Georgia, and Washington D.C., was proposed, for centrally-located Milledgeville. Jett Thomas and John B. Scott were the</p><br>
<p>general contractors for the construction work.</p><br>
<p>The Georgia Legislature met in the yet-to-be-completed building for the first time in 1807. The Marquis de Lafayette visited the building in 1825 while on his tour through the United States. Expansions were completed to north and south wings in 1828 and 1834, respectively. East and west porticoes with granite steps were added in 1835.</p><br>

President Jefferson Davis from the capitol and the nearby Governors Mansion.</p><br>
<p>Brown and others fled the capitol ahead of the arrival of General William Tecumseh Sherman&#39;s Union Army. They occupied the city of Milledgeville on November 23, 1864. The Old Capitol building was damaged, while armories and magazines on Statehouse Square were destroyed. In 1868, during Reconstruction, the legislature moved the capital to Atlanta, a city emerging as the symbol of the New South as opposed to Milledgeville, seen as being connected to the Old South.</p><br>
<p>The statehouse was used as the court house for Baldwin County, Georgia from 1871 - 1879. Then it was used for the Middle Georgia Military and Agricultural College, which became Georgia Military College in 1900. The building remains the center of the college campus and is open for tours.</p><br>
