<p>Seaboard Coastline Building, also known as Old City Hall, is a historic train station located at Portsmouth, Virginia. The original section was built in 1894-1895 by the Seaboard Air Line Railroad. It is a six-story brick and concrete structure, with the 4th and 5th floors added in 1914. The front facade features a distinctive half-round or semicylindrical profile intended to recall the imagery of the streamlined locomotives of the late-19th century. The building served as the northern terminus and office headquarters of the Seaboard Air Line until 1958.</p><br>
<h2>Passenger train terminal</h2><br>
<p>The station served multiple passenger trains daily. One train was the Portsmouth section of the SALs full service Silver Comet, bound for Raleigh, North Carolina, Athens and Atlanta in Georgia and Birmingham, Alabama. Another train, #3-11 southbound/#6-10 northbound, was a coach-only train to Atlanta, making local stops along the way. The Silver Comet had its last trip into the station in 1968, when the SALs successor, the merged Seaboard Coast Line, terminated passenger service on the branch leading into Portsmouth.</p><br>
<h2>Use in recent years</h2><br>
<p>After the building was used for railroad purposes, it was used as the municipal building until 1980.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.</p><br>
<p>Commodore Theatre is an historic movie theater located at Portsmouth, Virginia. It was built in 1945 in the Streamline Art Deco style, and originally sat 1,000 people. The theater closed in 1975 and sat empty until a change in ownership and extensive renovation beginning in 1987. It reopened two years later, and was in operation displaying first-run films accompanied by a full kitchen.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Commodore was built in 1945 by William Stanley Wilder, a Portsmouth native who owned and operated several theaters in Virginia&#39;s Tidewater region from the 1920s through the 1940s. The theater was named after Commodore James Barron, an officer on the frigate USS Chesapeake involved in the ChesapeakeLeopard affair and who is buried in a churchyard next to the theater. It is rumored that the construction supplies for the building which ordinarily would have been unavailable due to wartime shortages were allocated to the project due to the entertainment it would provide to the large number of soldiers stationed in Portsmouth.</p><br>
<p>The theater&#39;s design has been described as "an excellent example of the Streamline Art Deco style."</p><br>
<p>After a period of declining attendance and conversion to an adult theater, the Commodore closed in 1975. It sat empty until being purchased by the current owner who performed a two-year renovation. The exterior&#39;s marquee and ticket booth were retained, as were the majority of interior fixtures. The original seating was removed from the main auditorium floor and replaced with dinner theater-style seating; a balcony uses traditional auditorium-style seating.</p><br>
<p>The theater currently offers first-run films on a nightly basis, featuring Dolby Digital and THX sound, accompanied by a dining experience serviced by a full kitchen in the main building.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1997. It is located in the Downtown Portsmouth Historic District.</p><br>
<p>The William Treadwell House, also known as the Bruce Coleman House, is a private house located at 446 North Meridian Road in Hudson, Michigan. It was designated a Michigan State Historic Site and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>William Treadwell grew up in Hudson, and began his career as a dry goods clerk. He later began working in the People&#39;s State Bank in Hudson to learn the business, However, in early 1864, William Treadwell concocted a scheme to embezzle money from the bank, and on January 20,</p><br>
<p>The William Treadwell House is currently a private residence.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The William Treadwell House is a two-story brick Italian Villa structure on a cut stone foundation. Two bays balance the main mass of the house, and it is surmounted by a gable roof. External architectural embellishments include elaborate brackets, wrought iron railings, rounded arch windows and doorways, and a two-tiered, square tower. Although the interior has been extensively altered, the exterior remains original.</p><br>
<p>Center Cemetery is a historic cemetery in Southampton, Massachusetts. The 6.5 acre cemetery is located on the west side of Massachusetts Route 10, about 0.25 mi north of Southampton Center. It was the towns first cemetery, with the oldest marker dating 1738. It remains its principal burying ground, providing resting places for the towns early settlers and later civic and business leaders. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2013.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Southampton&#39;s Center Cemetery is located in central Southampton, with the historic town center to its south and a modern commercial district to its north. It is set on a roughly rectangular parcel 6.5 acre in size on the west side of Massachusetts Route 10. It is organizationally divided into twelve sections, with areas 2 through 4 constituting its oldest sections. Ten of these sections are laid out in strips perpendicular to the road, with gravel paths between them. The older sections are unusual in that early graves were placed somewhat haphazardly in family plots, which were infilled with later burials in the 19th century as a space economization measure.</p><br>
<p>The cemeterys exact date of founding is not recorded, with its first appearance on a map in 1750, and its oldest grave marked 1738. The town apparently began management of it in 1754, a point at which may have been enlarged. The grounds underwent several expansions to reach their present size, and further growth is contemplated. In the 1830s a receiving vault was added, and an iron fence was installed around three sides of the perimeter in 1900. The Soldiers Monument, a red sandstone obelisk which stands prominently at the cemetery entrance, was placed in 1866.</p><br>
<p>Fitzgerald Station and Farmstead is a collection of historic buildings and structures in Springdale, Arkansas associated with the Butterfield Overland Mail Trail. Historically the site of a tavern popular with travelers heading west prior to the establishment of the Butterfield Trail, the property became a station along the route in the 1850s. Today, the property retains an original 1850s barn built as a waypoint along the route, as well as an 1870s house and associated outbuildings. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in May 2003.</p><br>
<h2>Eponym and early history</h2><br>
<p>John Fitzgerald Sr. and his wife, Mary, relocated to Washington County, Arkansas from Alabama circa 1830. In 1834, the Fitzgerald&#39;s son, James, was the only property owner listed in a government survey of the area. As part of the land received according to the Dancing Rabbit Creek Treaty of 1830, the property of the station and farmstead was officially signed to Fitzgerald in September 1846 by President James K. Polk. An inn and tavern were established and maintained on the site, and it became popular along the route.</p><br>
<p>The site witnessed 8,000 Cherokee travelling along the Northern Route during 1838-39 as part of the Trail of Tears. Fitzgerald was mentioned in the journals of both B.B. Cannon and Dr. William Isaac Irvins Morrow, two members of a military escort taking a small group of Cherokee who were willingly relocating per the Treaty of New Echota.</p><br>
<h2>Butterfield Trail</h2><br>
<p>The Butterfield Overland Mail route was a stagecoach route chosen to be snow-free unlike the more northern but shorter routes in place at the time. It ran from St. Louis, Missouri to San Francisco, California beginning in 1858. This segment overlapped a historic road known as the "State Road" in Arkansas, itself a formerly well-traveled Native American removal route from Springfield, Missouri to Fayetteville in the 1830s. Fitzgerald Station served along the route between Mudtown, Cross Hollows, and Callahan&#39;s Tavern to the north and Fayetteville to the south. Fitzgerald Station likely benefited from its reputation among travelers prior to the establishment of the Butterfield Trail.</p><br>
<h2>Present day</h2><br>
<p>Today, the road running in front of Fitzgerald Station is called Old Wire Road, paying homage to the telegraph lines that eventually supplanted the horse-powered mail delivery of the Butterfield Trail. Highway 265 runs along Old Wire Road near the property, and roughly follows the original stage route of the 1850s. The trail has been recognized as a segment of the Butterfield Trail and the Trail of Tears (Northern Route) within the Arkansas Heritage Trails Network, as well as the Trail of Tears within the National Historic Trail System. The University of Arkansas and Arkansas Archaeological Survey conducted a remote sensing survey using magnetic gradiometry and electric resistivity in an attempt to locate the historic tavern, log cabin house, or original wagon path through the property. The group believed that the log cabin and tavern were located where the 1870s house was constructed, and the results were inconclusive for the original location of the aforementioned. An excavation commenced in February 2005, in which it was determined that the soil cut to form the house&#39;s basement was spread throughout the site. A midden strata was encountered, as well as several fragments of broken whiteware, consistent with a tavern.</p><br>
<p>The Franks Site is a large archaeological site in the northeastern part of the USA state of Ohio. Located atop bluffs overlooking the Vermilion River in northwestern Lorain County, it lies in the city of Vermilion close to the river&#39;s mouth in Lake Erie. The site was once inhabited by people of the Erie tribe before their destruction, and archaeological investigations have yielded enough information to make it exceptionally valuable for learning about its erstwhile inhabitants.</p><br>
<h2>Location</h2><br>
<p>The Franks Site lies midway between Mill Hollow, where the river makes a very sharp bend, and central Vermilion; it sits by the edge of a bluff overlooking a smaller yet still significant river bend.</p><br>
<h2>Excavations</h2><br>
<p>Raymond C. Vietzen led an excavation of the Franks Site in 1941, finding skeletons and artifacts such as pottery. The burials were of divers forms: Vietzen reported the presence both of extended and flexed burials, for some bodies had been placed lengthwise, while others&#39; legs had been drawn up to the chest in a crouching position. The possibility of the two representing two different phases was considered, but this was easily disproven as many parts of the cemetery included skeletons of both sorts that had plainly been buried at the same time. Many adult female skeletons were buried together with exceptionally tiny infant skeletons, suggesting that many women died in childbirth and that it was customary to bury mother and child together.</p><br>
<p>Pottery from the site bears many similarities to pottery from other Erie sites. Common features on Franks pottery include lines incised and impressed with antlers, narrow lines incised with smaller tools, and rounded and thumbnail-shaped depressions. The pottery rims were particularly important for decorations; many of the rims were expanded in order to give them collared appearances, as well as serving to reinforce their strength and to facilitate handling. Many of the decorated rims were crimped with impressions of bits of wood or bone, while others bore notches or scalloped impressions. Animal bones were common throughout, with numerous fish skeletons from species such as the sheepshead and the garfish, and excavations also revealed numerous features such as postmolds and rubbish pits. The sheer size of the site and apparent number of inhabitants prompted Vietzen to declare that it "may truly be called an Erie City as it is far too vast to be simply classed as a village". He dated some of the artifacts at the site to circa AD 1650, just a few years before the date in which The Jesuit Relations notes the destruction of the Eries by Iroquois warriors.</p><br>
<h2>Moes Site</h2><br>
<p>Just south of the Franks Site is a smaller site, the Moes Site, which appears to be closely related to the Franks Site. Like Franks, Moes included a cemetery, although its smaller size meant that only ten burials (most of them infants) were found during Vietzen&#39;s excavation; hundreds of potsherds, identical to those of Franks, proved much more valuable. Located at the very edge of a river bluff, the site was named for landowner Isaac Moes; Vietzen reported that the site also included a burial mound from which Moes and his family had excavated many skeletons and artifacts, including a fine birdstone.</p><br>
<h2>Preservation</h2><br>
<p>After excavating the Franks Site, Vietzen published multiple books in which the Franks Site was extensively covered, and he established a museum in Amherst in which some of the site&#39;s artifacts were displayed. The site itself has experienced the influence of historic preservation: it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in late 1975 under the name of "Morris-Franks Site", qualifying because of its archaeological significance. It was the first of four Lorain County archaeological sites to be added to the Register, along with the Burrell Fort, the Burrell Orchard Site, and the Eiden Prehistoric District.</p><br>
<p>The Henry Clay Moss House is a historic house located at 414 N. Main St. in Paris, Illinois. The Italianate house was built in 1876 for local businessman Henry Clay Moss. The home features a wraparound porch supported by columns, a hipped roof with a bracketed cornice, and a projecting hexagonal bay on its west side. The interior of the home includes home office space and features decorative wooden door and window surrounds and trim as well as a cantilevered flight of stairs. Moss lost the house in 1877, and it passed through a succession of owners until livestock breeder Daniel Arthur bought the home in 1895; the home remained in the Arthur family until 1976.</p><br>
<p>The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on April 16, 2008. The Edgar County Historical Society currently operates a museum in the home.</p><br>
<p>The Shaw-Van Gilder House is a historic house located at 306 E. Crawford St. in Paris, Illinois. Elvis Perry Shaw, a local businessman and mercantile clerk, built the house in 1853. The house is an example of an I-house, a vernacular style named for its popularity in the three Midwestern states beginning with "I". Characteristic features of the I-house which can be seen in the Shaw-Van Gilder House include the five symmetrical bays on its front and its central interior corridor. The houses design was also influenced by the Greek Revival and Italianate styles; the former style can be seen in the homes front entrance, windows, and roof, while the latter can be seen in its bracketed porch. Shaw and his family lived in the house until 1941, when Shaw&#39;s descendants sold the property to the Van Gilder family.</p><br>
<p>The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on March 5, 2007.</p><br>
<p>The Conservation Park Site, also known as the Pine River Park Site and designated 20GR33, is an archaeological site located along the Pine River in Alma, Michigan. The site was discovered by archaeologists from Alma College in 1976, and excavations conducted in 1977-81 and 1983-85 found early Woodland period material. indicating a camp covering 1.4 acre. The site was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.</p><br>

<p>The Gratiot County Courthouse is a government building located at 214 East Center Street in Ithaca, Michigan. It was designated a Michigan State Historic Site in 1957 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Gratiot County was first laid out in 1831, but settlement did not begin until 1843, when a Lutheran mission was set up near the current location of St. Louis. The county government was organized in 1856, A two-story log cabin, built by local settler John Jeffrey that same year, was used as the first courthouse. The following year, "Gratiot Center" was renamed "Ithaca," as it remains today. An additional office building was constructed in 1861, and in 1870 the original courthouse was replaced with a 36 x frame structure.</p><br>
<p>In 1900, voters approved the construction of a stone courthouse. Plans were drawn by Jackson-based architect Claire Allen, and the cornerstone was laid in September 1900. However, work soon stopped as the contractor demanded more money, and lawsuits were initiated by the county and by the contractor&#39;s bondsmen. The issue was soon resolved, and construction resumed, this time by A. W. Mohnke of Grand Rapids. The final cost of construction was $75,000. A clock was added to the clock tower in 1905.</p><br>
<p>In 1978, a fire caused substantial damage to the second floor. In the 1990s, an additional "connector building" was constructed, and renovations were made to the 1902 courthouse. The courthouse is still used for county offices and court proceedings.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Gratiot County Courthouse is a 2-1/2-story Neoclassical structure covered in beige sandstone. The building measures 36 x. It sits on a half-basement and has a distinctive multi-stage clock tower topped with a belfry. The front entrance is surrounded by an unusual decorative arched and twisted column. The interior is anchored by a central rotunda, and is dominated by oak and marble.</p><br>
<p>The building is in relatively original condition, with few alterations.</p><br>

<p>The Kinross Township Hall and School is a government and educational building located at 7305 West Kinross Road in Kinross Township, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In 1887, the Minneapolis, St. Paul and Sault Ste. Marie Railroad laid a railway through this area of Michigan, connecting Minneapolis to Sault Ste. Marie. A handful of settlers established what is now the village of Kinross near this site, and in 1891 the railroad opened a station nearby. In 1899, coalescing around the village, Kinross Township was established from portions of surrounding townships. The school district serving the village (designated Kinross Township&#39;s School District No. 2) already had a school building, but in preparation for the construction of a new school, the lot on which this building originally stood was purchased by the district in 1902.</p><br>
<p>In April 1905, the Kinross Township Board and Board of Education of the Kinross Township School District met jointly and voted to erect a new building to house both a town hall and a school, with the school on the lower floor of the building and the town hall on the upper. Construction began later in 1905, and the building opened in September of that year as a school and meeting house. In the early 1930s, the construction of US 2 was planned through the original site of the school, necessitating a move. After some discussion, a new location was selected, and the building was moved to its present location in 1931.</p><br>
<p>The school originally had a single teacher, and served grades K-8. Over the next decade, the population of Kinross Township increased, and by 1915 there were seven school districts serving the township. However, economic downturns in the next few decades resulted in a substantial loss of population and a reduction in the number of districts, and by 1943, Kinross was the only public school left in the township. In 1952, the nearby Kincheloe Air Force Base opened a school on its grounds, and by 1959 the base was educating 200 children. A new school site on the base was chosen by the nearby Rudyard Township&#39;s school system. Since the base was within Kinross Township, the Kinross Township school system decided to annex itself to the Rudyard Township schools, sending area children to the new school on the base.</p><br>
<p>Kinross Township continued to use the buildings second story for township meeting, and in 1965 set up a township office. In 1973, the lower school portion of the building was refurbished and used as a Senior Citizens Center. In 1978, the township offices were moved to another building, and in early 1979, the Senior Citizen&#39;s Center also moved. The last organization to use the building, the Kinross Grange, folded in 1979 and the building was abandoned. The building was sold to private owners in 2010.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Kinross Township Hall and School is a rectangular two-story hip-roof building on a concrete block foundation, measuring 40 feet across and 26 feet in depth. The building is clad with white-painted clapboard, with plain cornerboards and window trim and projecting eaves with brackets. The front elevation has four symmetrically spaced double-hung one-over-one windows on the second floor, with three identical windows with the same spacing on the first floor. The first floor also has a gabled entry porch at one end of the front facade with a turned-post support at each corner The porch contains paired entry doors, leading to an enclosed, shed-roofed stairwell along the side of the building. A wooden cupola housing a bell was originally located atop the main roof, but has been removed.</p><br>
<p>The interior originally housed a single classroom on the first floor, with one or more small coatrooms and perhaps bathrooms. The second floor was a single large meeting space. Both stories had wooden floors and narrow tongue-and-groove walls and ceilings. The interior was remodeled in the 1970s, with a kitchen and restrooms installed in the first floor space. In addition, was installed over the original flooring, synthetic wood paneling on the walls, and acoustical tile the ceilings.</p><br>
<p>The Middlefield Center Historic District encompasses the historic village center of Middlefield, Massachusetts. It is centered on the junction of Skyline Trail, the main north-south road, with Bell and Town Hill Roads. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2012.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Permanent settlement of Middlefield began c. 1770, and the center area was one of the first places to be cleared. After the town was incorporated in 1783, the townspeople established a meetinghouse in the area, and it began to grow as the center of the new towns civic life. During the 19th century the center retained its sense as an agricultural village center, bolstered by the establishment of fairgrounds and an agricultural hall in the 1850s. Most of the villages historic development was along Skyline Trail, where most of the district&#39;s contributing properties lie; the rest lie along Bell Road, leading from the center toward the fairground (which is also part of the district).</p><br>
<p>The oldest buildings in the district are Federal in style, with the oldest, the Daniel Chapman House at 140 Skyline Trail, built in 1780. Most of the districts buildings are residences, of which the Oliver Church House, built in 1869, is one of the regions finest examples of Italianate architecture. There are three examples of Craftsman architecture, all of which feature native stone elements on the exterior. One tavern survives, dating to about 1820, as do two commercial buildings. The town&#39;s former town hall, built in 1901, has Queen Anne Victorian features, and the Congregational Church is an eclectic combination of styles, the product of alterations and additions following a 1901 fire.</p><br>
<p>The former Deerfield Valley Agricultural Society Fairgrounds or Charlemont Fairgrounds, now known as Memorial Park, is a public park in Charlemont, Massachusetts, United States. The 24 acre property occupies a plateau above the town, and is reached via an access road  from Massachusetts Route 8A near the Bissell Bridge. Now a passive recreation facility managed by the town, it is one of the least-altered 19th-century fairgrounds in the state, with a grandstand, exhibition building, and racetrack built in the late 19th century. The property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2011.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Charlemonts Memorial Park is located a short way north of the village center, on an elevated plateau above Massachusetts Route 8A. It is a basically rectangular area, whose dominant feature is a racing oval that is about 1,000 ft long and 400 ft wide. The track is made of packed earth and is about 15 ft wide. On the western side of the oval is the parks largest building, a wooden grandstand. The grandstand has fourteen rows of bleacher-style seating, set above an enclosed ground level that functioned originally as an exhibition space and dining hall. A period two-story exhibition building is located southwest of the track. Inside the oval stands a modern picnic pavilion.</p><br>
<p>The fairground was opened in 1871, and the fairs staged there were a vehicle by which agricultural practices and techniques could be shared within the regional farming community. The open areas of the grounds would have been packed with temporary structures housing all types of exhibitions, displays, and amusements. The exhibition hall was built about 1885, and the grandstand in 1892. The racing oval was enlarged twice; that in 1911 gave the track a length of 0.5 mi. The last fair was held on the grounds in 1934. It was occasionally used for a variety of large-scale public events thereafter, and the track was at one point used as a venue for demolition derbies. The town took ownership of the property in 1940, and has most recently adapted for use as a passive recreational facility.</p><br>
<p>The Charles H. Duckett House is a house listed on the National Register of Historic Places located in Laurens, South Carolina. The vernacular, one-story, L-shaped frame house was built ca1892 by Charles H. "Charlie" Duckett, a notable African-American businessman in Laurens. He was a contractor, a carpenter, owner of a funeral home, and owner of what for a number of years was the only lumber yard in the city.</p><br>
<p>The house, built on a brick pier foundation, has a standing seam metal hip roof with a low pitch and beaded weatherboard siding. The main entrance door has an Eastlake-style design. The interior of the house features a central hall with five rooms on the main floor and the kitchen and dining room located in the stuccoed brick wall basement. The dining room has a built-in china cabinet, a Greek revival style mantel and a paneled ceiling. The rooms of the house have plaster walls, carved mantels and picture mouldings.</p><br>
<p>Located in a neighborhood associated with the African-American community since it was first developed, the house remained in the Duckett family until 1975. It is now owned by the Laurens County African American Cultural Foundation, with an easement held by the Palmetto Trust for Historic Preservation. It is now used as a museum and community action center.</p><br>
<p>The John Quincy Allen House is a historic residence in Buford, Georgia. Its architectural style is described as Georgian Revival architecture. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1984. It is located at 345 East Main Street.</p><br>
<p>Its Georgian Revival details include a Palladian portico with flower basket-and-garlands relief.</p><br>
<p>It was home of John Quincy Allen (1880–1967), one of five children of Bona Allen, Sr. (1846–1925), builder of the Bona Allen Company. It was one of seven Allen family homes along the railroad that runs through the center of Buford, linking to the expansive Bona Allen Shoe and Horse Collar Factory.</p><br>
<p>Dial Mill is a historic gristmill and flour mill outside of Conyers, Georgia. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on April 6, 1977.</p><br>

<p>The Lincoln Road–Pine River Bridge, also known as the Riverdale Bridge, was a bridge located on Lincoln Road over the Pine River near Seville, Michigan. The architect behind the Lincoln Road–Pine River Bridge was the Michigan State Highway Department and its builder was Walter Willets. The bridge is notable for being a large early example of an arched through girder bridge in Michigan, and for sitting on substantially skewed abutments. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Michigan State Highway Department first designed an arched through girder bridge in 1921, and built the first of them over the River Raisin at Tecumseh. Later versions of the design followed; among the earliest was this bridge over the Pine River. The bridge was constructed for the M-46 trunkline and designated number 291402. In October 1921 the state contracted Walter Willets to construct the bridge. The bridge was completed the following year at a total cost of $18,186.15.</p><br>

<p>The Ithaca Downtown Historic District is a commercial historic district located on East Center Street, between Main and Pine River, in Ithaca, Michigan . It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2005.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Ithaca was founded in 1855; development of the new settlement began the next year when it was selected as the county seat of the newly formed Gratiot County. The first commercial enterprise, located just west of this district, was John Jeffery&#39;s store, built in 1856. In 1860 a hotel was built at the corner of Main and Center (within this district), and by 1869 the block was filled with one- to three- story wooden commercial buildings. Ithaca was incorporated as a village in 1869. In the 1870s, brick buildings were constructed in the district; the first one being the 1875 Richardson & Weatherwax grocery store.</p><br>
<p>In 1882 a railroad was built into the village. This spurred both agricultural development in the surrounding area, but also industrial development in Ithaca itself. Fires in 1888 and 1890 destroyed some of the earlier wooden buildings which were replaced with brick. A 1905 fire destroyed the last of the earlier wooden buildings, and a new building was erected the following year. Except for the 1920s-era gas station, and a 1988 building erected on the site of a 1987 fire which destroyed one of the historic buildings, the Ithaca Downtown Historic District looks much as it did in 1906.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The district includes 20 buildings, 18 of which were constructed in the 1875-1906 period. The buildings are predominantly red brick Late Victorian structures, and stand side-by-side in a single block along Center Street. The block is divided by a narrow alley running perpendicular to Center, separating each side of the street into two halves.</p><br>
<p>The largest commercial building in the district, the three-story, three-storefront J. Jeffery & Sons Block, stands at the southwest corner of Center and Main Streets. Three more commercial buildings stand next to the Jeffery Block, spanning the space to the alley. These three buildings exhibit interesting contrasting designs, with massive rockface fieldstone masonryon one, pointy stone "Gothic" incised window caps and a finial-capped metal cornice on another, and mixed red and yellow-buff brickwork on the third. On the north side of the street, a former gas station stands at the corner, followed by a row of two-story buildings, running west to the alley. These buildings exhibit a broad variety of architectural styles in 1890s commercial buildings, with different types and shapes of brick, brickwork piers, and brick paneling in various shapes. Many use terra cotta, and exhibit a variety of window shapes and sizes.</p><br>
<p>West of the alley on the south side is a 1988 building constructed in a style that complements its neighbors. Nearby is another Late Victorian three-storefront block, with an elaborate bracketed iron cornice. On the north side of the street, four buildings west of the alley retain a generally high degree of integrity. The first building is the oldest in the district, dating from 1875. It has Gothic-arch second-story windows with paneled brickwork, and retains its original iron storefront columns. Next door is a stone-front building with narrow windows.</p><br>
