<p>The First National Bank in New Roads, Louisiana is a two-story Classical Revival-style brick building. It was built in 1909 as the new headquarters building of the First National Bank of New Roads, which had been opened in 1905. It costs $7,200 to build and is the only highly styled building in New Roads.</p><br>
<p>The bank failed in 1912 and the building was occupied by the Bank of New Roads, a competitor. It was used as a jewelry store from 1928 to 1998.</p><br>
<p>The Pointe Coupee Parish Courthouse is a heritage listed courthouse on Main Street, New Roads, Louisiana, was built in 1902. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1981.</p><br>
<p>The two-story brick building is designed in a Romanesque Revival style. The central entrance is located within a broad entry arch, which is flanked by two round turrets. Above the entrance is a four-story square central clock tower, which is topped with an octagonal spire. The architect was Andrew J. Bryan of Jackson, Mississippi, who was "known to have designed the Jefferson County Courthouse (1901) and the Monroe County Jail (1904), both in Mississippi", (the latter is also listed on the National Register). In 1939 a two-storey Art Deco wing was added to the rear of the building.</p><br>
<p>The building has been the seat of the Pointe Coupee Parish since it was constructed in 1902.</p><br>
<p>Samson House is a single-story wooden dwelling, located at 405 Richey Street, New Roads, Louisiana. Built around 1835, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1997. The building design reflects the French Creole architectural style.</p><br>
<p>It has also been known as the Samson-Claiborne House.</p><br>
<p>It was built in the community of Waterloo, Mississippi, which was located on the Mississippi River east of New Roads. The house was moved to New Roads&#39; Main Street in 1884 after floods broke the levee and the community was abandoned. The move was accomplished by mules pulling the house on rolling logs. Then in 1984 it was moved to its current location on Richey Street, which required it to be cut in half then rejoined.</p><br>
<p>The First Parish Church of Groton is a historic church building at 1 Powderhouse Road in Groton, Massachusetts. It was built in 1754-55 and restyled in 1839 for a congregation whose history dates to the founding of the community in the 17th century. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2021.</p><br>
<h2>The building</h2><br>
<p>Groton&#39;s First Parish Church stands in the village center of the town, between Powederhouse Road (a loop road also providing access to Lawrence Academy, and Lowell Road (Massachusetts Route 40). It is a two-story timber-frame structure, with a gabled roof and clapboarded exterior. Its main facade is three bays wide, surmounted by a tower with clock, bell, and steeple. The bays are recessed, with two columns set in antes at the front of the recess, with pilasters at the building and recess corners. A full entablature extends across the front and sides of the building, and there is a triangular ornament at the center of the tympanum. The church bell, added about 1819, is from Revere and Sons.</p><br>
<h2>Parish history</h2><br>
<p>The building is the fourth for a congregation that was formed in 1666, and the second to stand on this site. Construction began in 1754 and was completed the following year. The building was damaged by lightning in 1795, and underwent a major Greek Revival restyling in 1839. The church congregation, originally Congregationalist in outlook, was subject to schism between Unitarian and Trinitarian factions, with the latter group departing 1826. The greenspace in front of the church was where the local militia company gathered in April 1775 to join the Battles of Lexington and Concord.</p><br>
<p>Joshua Young was minister from 1875 until his death in 1904.</p><br>
<p>Satterfield Motor Company Building is a single-story commercial building at 108 E. Main Street, New Roads, Louisiana. The building was built in 1918 and backs onto the False River. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1994.</p><br>
<p>It was deemed significant in automotive history in the area, as part of introducing the newfangled things. By 1915 Ford cars could be ordered in Baton Rouge, approximately 35 mi away. In 1917 it was announced in The Pointe Coupee Banner that Theodore E. Satterfield was appointed agent for the Ford Motor Company, and would open a dealership in "a splendid brick building on Main Street that will be an ornament to the town." It was apparently the first full automotive dealership in the town with showroom space as well as parts and service departments.</p><br>
<p>The building was designed by architect Phil B. Seibold in late 1917 and was constructed by contractors Bouanchaud & Herring in 1918. It is an L-shaped one-story stucco-over-brick building, with shared party walls. It has three bays on the front divided by piers which rise above a parapet, whose center section has a curved shape.</p><br>
<p>The NRHP nomination document is silent on how long the dealership operated. Photos from 1994 show the building vacant, with no sign. A restaurant named "Satterfield&#39;s Upper Deck Restaurant", overlooking False River, was closed in May 2020 due to "coronavirus uncertainty", but the "Landing Bar" downstairs would remain open.</p><br>
<p>The Plymouth Congregational Church is an historic church building at 1014 Broad Street in Providence, Rhode Island. Completed in 1919 for a congregation founded in 1878, it is a well-preserved example of late Gothic Revival architecture, designed by Boston architect George F. Newton. Since 2016, the building has been home to the Iglesia Visión Evangélica congregation. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2021.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture and history</h2><br>
<p>The former Plymouth Congregational Church is located at the eastern edge of the Elmwood neighborhood and western edge of Lower South Providence, at the southeast corner of Broad Street and Pennsylvania Avenue. It is a large stone structure, with a square tower rising in the front left corner. Buttresses adorn the sides of the building and the tower corners, and a large stained-glass window dominates the gabled Broad Street facade. The main entrance is in the base of the tower, with heavy wooden doors set in a Gothic-arched opening with transom windows. The interior follows a modified Akron plan, specifically designed to accommodate large Sunday School classes.</p><br>
<p>The church was built in 1915-1919 for a congregation founded nearby in 1878; it was its third edifice. It was designed by George F. Newton, an architect based in Boston, Massachusetts. Planning for the building began as early as 1891, when the congregation purchased the lot where it stands. Its design and construction were delayed by funding considerations, and its construction was interrupted by World War I. It was formally dedicated on March 2, 1919.</p><br>
<p>In 1927, Plymouth Congregational Church merged with Union Congregational Church. Its combined membership of 1,200 made it one of the largest Protestant churches in Providence. However, by 1968 the congregation had shrunk to about 140 members, due to members moving to the suburbs.</p><br>
<p>The building was sold in 1971 to the Rhode Island Conference of the United Church of Christ, which that same year sold the building to the Holy Cross Church of God in Christ, a 260-member Black congregation, which remained there until 2015.</p><br>
<p>Iglesia Visión Evangélica, a Latin congregation, acquired the church in 2016.</p><br>
<p>The Gwen Frostic Studio is an artist studio located at 5140 River Road in Benzonia Township, Michigan. It was built by artist and entrepreneur Gwen Frostic, who used it as her home and business from 1964 until her death in 2001. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2021.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Gwen Frostic was born in Sandusky, Michigan in 1906. She began a metalworking business in the late 1920s in Wyandotte, Michigan, but during and after World War II pivoted to linoleum block printing. In 1951, her father retired and moved to Frankfort, Michigan. Gwen became attracted to the area and began spending summers there, transitioning to full time residence in 1955. She re-opened her studio in Frankfort, and by 1963 the business had expanded multiple times and had seven employees. However, when the town began considering draioning the nearby swamp, the source of much of Frostic&#39;s inspiration, she decided to move her studio.</p><br>
<p>Frostic purchased a 40-acre parcel southeast of Frankfort and hired contractor Jim Rogers too construct a new studio. The design was very organic, incorporating features on the plot and blending with the surrounding landscape. The new studio, encompassing 9000 square feet, opened on April 26, 1964. Frostic&#39;s business steadily grew, and over the next 15 years additional space was added, increasing the size of the studio to 21,000 square feet. Frostic continued to live and work at the studio until her death in 2001.</p><br>
<p>Frostic willed her property to friends Kirk and Pam Lorenz, who owned a local restaurant. They continued her business and made some improvements to the property. Unfortunately, the Lorenzes overleveraged their two properties, and the bank foreclosed on both. Frostics acreage was divided up, and Kim and Greg Forshee purchased the studio and surrounding land, along with Frostics print copyrights. They continue to operate the studio.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Gwen Frostic Studio is wood-frame and concrete block structure, tucked into the surrounding hillside. It was built in an organic style, with incremental additions made over time to the original 9000-square foot structure over a period of 15 years. Some walls and buttresses incorporate boulders taken from the surrounding property. The walls and rooflines are intentionally laid out in a haphazard way, mimicking and blending in with the surrounding low hills.</p><br>
<p>The Julius and Sophia Norton House is a historic house at 300 Pleasant Street in Bennington, Vermont. Its main block, completed in 1846, is one of the state&#39;s finest examples of Greek Revival architecture. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2021.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Julius and Sophia Norton House is located in the town center of Bennington, at the northeast corner of Park and Pleasant Streets one block north of Main Street. It is a large two-story wood-frame structure, built in stylistically different stages. Its main block presents a prominent Greek Revival temple front to Pleasant Street, with four fluted Doric columns supported a full entablature and gabled roof end. The west side of the block, facing Park Street, also has a single-story colonnade of Greek Revival columns. Behind the main block is a second two-story block, which exhibits later Victorian-era styling.</p><br>
<p>The main block of the house was built in 1846 for Julius Norton, owner of a major local pottery factory, and his second wife Sophia. The Norton pottery was marketed as one of the largest concerns of its kind in the country, shipping wares across New England and eastern Canada. The second owner, Lyman Abbott, was the managing proprietor of a local hosiery mill. The building has since been converted into a multi-unit apartment building; significant interior features were retained during this conversion.</p><br>
<p>Eleanor Roosevelt School, also known as the Eleanor Roosevelt Vocational School for Colored Youth, Warm Springs Negro School, and the Eleanor Roosevelt Rosenwald School, which operated as a school from March 18, 1937 until 1972, was a historical Black community school located at 350 Parham Street at Leverette Hill Road in Warm Springs, Georgia. As of May 3, 2010, the school is listed on the National Register of Historic Places listings in Meriwether County, Georgia.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The school was built in 1936, with funding from the Julius Rosenwald Fund by architects Samuel L. Smith and Fletcher B. Dresslar. It was the 5358th Rosenwald School created and the last one, in dedication to President Franklin Delano Roosevelt and his vision for education.</p><br>
<p>The Julius Rosenwald Fund had closed their school building program in 1932, but President Roosevelt personally insured the creation of this school alongside Samuel L. Smith. Between 1924 and 1945, President Roosevelt visited Georgia 41 times for seeking treatment for polio, and as a result he formed close ties to the state and the local politicians. In 1927, he had co-founded the Georgia Warm Springs Foundation (now known as the Roosevelt Warm Springs Rehabilitation Center within the Warm Springs Historic District).</p><br>
<p>On March 18, 1937 the school was opened and dedicated. The school was initially created as a five-teacher community school for rural Black students during a time of racial segregation. From 1937 until the mid-1960s, the school served grades 1st through grade 8th, then from the mid-1960s until 1972 served only elementary school students. In 1972, the school closed with racial integration, eventually becoming an adult education center (from 1972 until 1975) and a day care center (from 1975 until 1977). In 1977, the building was sold to a private owner.</p><br>
<p>The school was considered historic by the National Register of Historic Places because of the significance within African-American educational history, the school&#39;s connection to President Roosevelt, and because it is an architectural example of the Rosenwald School-style with the building plans published in, Community School Plans.</p><br>
<p>In 1940, the Eleanor Roosevelt School was honored with 2 of the 33 dioramas at the American Negro Exposition in Chicago.</p><br>
<p>The Hypolite Bordelon House, in a small park off Louisiana Highway 1 in Marksville in Avoyelles Parish, Louisiana, was built around 1825. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.</p><br>
<p>It is unusual for its double-pitched roof. It was built of cypress and pine, and its walls are bousillage (mud and moss).</p><br>
<p>The house "was most probably built by Valerie Bordelon, Hypolite&#39;s father. Valerie Bordelon was the grandson of the first Bordelon in Louisiana, Laurent Bordelon, who came to Louisiana before 1730 as an employee of the French trading company, the Company of the Indies. Laurent was a native of Le Havre, in the Normandy province of France."</p><br>
<p>The house was moved to its present location and restored.</p><br>
<p>The Sarto Bridge is a swing truss bridge built in 1916 over the Bayou Des Glaises at Big Bend in Avoyelles Parish, Louisiana. It is also known as the Sarto Old Iron Bridge.</p><br>
<p>It was the first bridge in Louisiana to be placed on the National Register of Historic Places, which occurred in 1989.</p><br>
<p>It played a role in evacuation of Big Bend during the Great Mississippi Flood of 1927.</p><br>
<p>It is located in the Atchafalaya National Heritage Area off Louisiana Highway 451, and now brings the Atchafalaya Water Heritage Trail over the Bayou des Glaises.</p><br>
<p>The Elias and Lisi Aho Farmstead is a historic farmstead in Waasa Township, Minnesota, United States. It was established by a Finnish immigrant family and includes five surviving buildings constructed with traditional Finnish log architecture from 1902 to 1907. The farm was listed as a historic district on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990 for its state-level significance in the themes of agriculture, architecture, and European ethnic heritage. The Aho Farmstead was nominated for reflecting the successful cultivation of northeastern Minnesota&#39;s cutover forests by Finnish American settlers and their use of traditional log architecture.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The historic district consists of six contributing properties, all dating to between 1902 and 1907. Five are log buildings: the house, the main barn, a smaller cattle barn, a riihi (grain-drying barn) later used as a stable, and a smoke sauna. The sixth contributing property comprises the fields east of the farmstead, which were first cleared by the Aho family during the same timeframe.</p><br>
<p>May Hosiery Mills Knitting Mill is a historic building that was built as an early 20th-century hosiery knitting mill in Burlington, Alamance County, North Carolina. Built in 1928, it is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The knitting mill was built by William and Benjamin May in the first half of the 1900s. The structure consists of one-story-on-partial basement which is built with brick and reinforced concrete. A distinctive sawtooth roof is a prominent feature of this building which depicts an early 20th century textile mill design.</p><br>
<p>Western Electric Company-Tarheel Army Missile Plant is an abandoned industrial complex located approximately two miles east of downtown Burlington&#39;s commercial district in Alamance County, North Carolina. Built in 1927, it is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Tarheel Army Missile Plant was constructed in 1927 as a synthetic fabric rayon manufacturing plant for the A.M. Johnson Rayon Mills, Inc. The company failed in marketing their rayon product to the textile weaving plants in the Burlington vicinity. As a result, the plant was renamed the Carolina Rayon Mills, Inc and a new management was brought in. But, this reorganization failed to improve the company&#39;s financial situation, and eventually the plant was closed in November 1931.</p><br>
<p>From 1931 until 1942, the plant remained mostly vacant. It was used for various short-term purposes, including tobacco warehousing and automobile storage.</p><br>
<p>But, during World War II, Detroit-based architect Albert Kahn&#39;s firm designed Building 4 to accommodate Fairchild Engine & Airplane Corporation manufacturing line to support war effort.</p><br>
<p>After World War II, in 1958, the plant was leased to the Western Electric Company, for research, engineering, production, and refurbishment of missile systems and components. But, the plant was under the operational control of the US Army&#39;s MICOM, which used to be a major subcommand of DARCOM.</p><br>
<p>The whole complex is spread over a 32-acre site, and has 23 buildings that once provided approximately 700,000 square feet of usable manufacturing and assembly space. Currently, the complex houses Good Samaritan Super Thrift Store.</p><br>
<p>The Charles Warrington Earle School is a historic school building at 6121 S. Hermitage Avenue in the West Englewood neighborhood of Chicago, Illinois. Opened in 1897, the school was one of many built to serve Chicagos growing student population in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, a result of compulsory education laws and an influx of European immigrants to the city. School board architect William August Fiedler designed the Renaissance Revival school; his plan was typical of Progressive Era school designs, which focused on improving the layout, lighting, and ventilation of schools. Though the school was built to serve six hundred students, settlement in West Englewood outpaced its capacity, and in 1900 the school board doubled the schools size with an addition. The school served Chicago students for over a century before closing along with over fifty other public schools in 2013.</p><br>
<p>The school was added to the National Register of Historic Places on March 15, 2021.</p><br>
<p>The Interurban Building, formerly known as the Seattle National Bank Building , the Pacific Block  and the Smith Tower Annex , is a historic office building located at Yesler Way and Occidental Way S in the Pioneer Square neighborhood of Seattle, Washington, United States. Built from 1890 to 1891 for the then recently formed Seattle National Bank, it is one of the finest examples of Richardsonian Romanesque architecture in the Pacific Northwest and has been cited by local architects as one of the most beautiful buildings in downtown Seattle. It was the breakthrough project of young architect John Parkinson, who would go on to design many notable buildings in the Los Angeles area in the late 19th and early 20th century.</p><br>
<p>The Seattle National Bank would vacate the building after only five years, followed by numerous legal battles between its owners, creditors and builders that ultimately led to the foreclosure of the building. It came under the ownership of New York industrialist Lyman Cornelius Smith who would rename it the Pacific Block in 1899. From 1904 to 1928, the Puget Sound Electric Railways Seattle–Tacoma interurban line terminated in front of the building and the former bank lobby was used as a ticket office and waiting room. The building was threatened with demolition several times in the 1910s and 1920s but plans to replace the building with a skyscraper always fell, though. The building underwent a major interior modernization beginning in 1929 under L.C. Smiths heirs, which included demolition of the entire Southeast wing of the building. The building was renamed again to the Smith Tower Annex, which it would remain until its most recent restoration in the late 1970s after which it was renamed the Interurban Building as a nod to its role in local transportation. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1970 as a contributing property to the Pioneer Square Historic District.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<h3>Yesler&#39;s Claim</h3><br>
<p>The site of the Interurban Building as well as most of Pioneer Square was once part of the 1852 donation land claim of Henry Yesler and as the city grew he would gradually sell off or lease lots to prospective settlers as he needed the funds. By the late 1880s the lots at what was then the Southeast corner of Mill Street and Second Avenue South, still owned by Yesler, were covered by a collection of wooden shacks and lodging houses, the earliest dating back to the late 1860s. Among these early hostelries and adjoining several Chinese laundrys was the Wisconsin House, located over the Star Saloon where it is said that anti-Chinese sentiment that culminated in the Seattle riot of 1886 began.</p><br>
<p>In February 1889 Yesler sold the 2 lots to a group of investors consisting of J.M. Thompson, Fred E. Sander and George M. Boman, all three of which were involved with real estate development as well as having stakes in the Lake Washington Cable Railway Company. The sale price was $85,000 in a deal that would have the buyers paying $75,000 up front and the remainder on January 1, 1890, with the shrewd Yesler insisting on holding onto the property in the interim to continue collecting valuable rent on the tenants and delaying the buyer&#39;s intentions of building a large brick building on the site. Yesler would use the proceeds from this sale to fund the further construction of his Pioneer Block which had just broken ground. 4 months after the sale the Great Seattle Fire would clear the property and after a brief occupation by tents housing the burned-out businesses, the subsequent regrading in early 1890 would raise the streets 18 feet above the old ground level.</p><br>
<h3>The Seattle National Bank</h3><br>
<p>The Seattle National Bank was incorporated in February 1889 with George W. E. Griffith as president, William Rankin Ballard as vice-president and Fred Warde as cashier. Griffith was a prominent banker and mortgage broker in Lawrence, Kansas and would remain there, with Ballard, then the manager of the West Coast Improvement Company and the namesake of the recently established city of Ballard, serving as acting manager. The bank opened one year later in temporary quarters on Yesler Way in the Sanderson Block (The current location of the Merchants Cafe) with plans to locate in the Burke Building at Second Avenue and Marion Street upon its completion. It also allowed them to issue bonds to Griffiths own firm, the Western Farm Mortgage Trust Company, that they would pay back with interest for the building&#39;s construction without causing a conflict of interest. During this time they purchased the lot for their new building from Fred E. Sander, who still held an option on the now vacant property and had put it up for sale that February advertising it as the finest business lot in the city. The same month the building company was formed they solicited for designs for a proposed 6-story building of brick, iron and stone, receiving plans from a dozen different architects. They ultimately chose the plans of then 28 year old John B. Parkinson, a relative newcomer to Seattle, who had recently dissolved his partnership with Cecil Evers with whom he had designed the Butler and Epler Blocks. The proposed bank and office building was estimated to cost about $200,000, the equivalent of nearly $6 million today.</p><br>
<p>Construction of the massive foundation, said to be one of the largest being built in the city at the time, began in June 1890 with the driving of piles, with large shipments of Chuckanut Sandstone arriving by barge from the Roth & Roeder quarry in Bellingham the following month. Early reports indicated that the building&#39;s lower floors were to be faced in Tenino bluestone but this was ultimately only used for the pier bases on the ground floor. The rest of the first and second floors were to be trimmed with red Colorado sandstone from the Kenmuir quarry near Colorado Springs, the site of which is now part of the Red Rock Canyon Open Space. The use of the stone was a novelty in Seattle at the time as local grey stone was so abundant and it would guarantee that the new building would stand out amongst its peers. The remainder of the street-facing façade was to be clad in high quality pressed brick from California and trimmed with red terracotta that would match the hue of the stone, giving the building a mostly monochromatic appearance. While most of the common brick and structural lumber used in the building was from Seattle, many of its interior finishes and hardware were sourced from across the country; Smith & Wyman of Minneapolis supplied the doors, blinds, sashes and interior moldings. Matthew Dow was awarded the general construction contract, the first of many buildings he would help build in Seattle, and by September, the walls were up to the second story.</p><br>
<p>Though completion of the building was still several months out in February 1891, the banking room, said to be the largest yet opened in Seattle, was made separately waterproof and the bank opened there that month, followed by the neighboring Seattle Savings Bank (later the Nickle then Washington Savings Bank) that June, which was connected to the National bank through common shareholders. The unfinished building was already being praised as one of the most magnificent bank buildings on the coast and would make appearances in many Architectural trade journals. A detailed description of the banking room was published in the Seattle Post-Intelligencer shortly before the bank&#39;s opening:</p><br>
<p>The building reached its 6th floor by March 1891 and most of the stone carving was complete including Bas-Relief gargoyles and a large lions head keystone over the banks corner entrance. Over 2,100,000 bricks had gone into the buildings construction and the final brick was officially laid on April 9, 1891, though there was still at least 3 months of interior work left to be done before tenants could begin to fill the buildings 150 office rooms, which were already fully rented out by this time.</p><br>
<p>The building was officially completed by September 1891 and tenants began to advertise the following month. Besides the banks, the ground floor was shared with a hardware store and a pawnbroker facing Occidental Way; the Monogram Saloon operated in the basement directly below the bank. The buildings earliest upstairs tenants included dentists, brokers, realtors, art teachers and architect Parkinsons own office where he would remain until his removal to Los Angeles in 1894. Seattles public night school opened on the buildings second floor in 1892 with pupils in age ranging from 13 to 22, and was soon joined by the Queen City Business College and later the Acme Business College. The building became an early hub of charitable organizations, with the Union Gospel Mission opening in the basement and the Bureau of Associated Charities headquartered there in 1892. The Seattle Chamber of Commerce would locate in the building in 1893. One of Seattle&#39;s early telephone companies, the Seattle Automatic Telephone Company, would have their offices in the building until 1901.</p><br>
<p>The Seattle National Bank quickly became one of the wealthiest banks in the region, and within a year of opening had formed a network of banks in the Puget Sound region reaching as far as Port Townsend, Fairhaven and Pendleton, Oregon, each one managed with involvement from various employees of the home bank and Griffiths mortgage company. In some communities banks involved with the Seattle National would be the only to survive the Panic of 1893, proving their financial security. Things would not go so well for the banks president and building owners though; in late 1890 Griffith resigned as president from his mortgage company, after butting heads with shareholders who were not agreeable to his Seattle projects and as a result payments from bonds issued to the building company became scarce and unpaid contractors and suppliers and even the architect soon came forward with liens against the building. The building company subsequently mortgaged the building to Griffiths former company in exchange for Promissory notes to quell their suppliers but these too went partially unpaid. Suspecting a personal grudge as a result of Griffiths involvement with them, the building company in turn joined numerous other firms in a lawsuit against the mortgage company in February 1892. the bondholders wouldn&#39;t see a penny from the sale.</p><br>
<p>With an almost complete turnover in management by 1895, the Seattle National Bank had left their building, relocating to the Haller Building at Second Avenue and Columbia Streets in what is still today Seattle&#39;s financial district. With ownership of the building in limbo new bank president E.W. Andrews placed the building in the hands of attorney James Clise, who was tasked with shopping it around to his numerous wealthy clients in New York.</p><br>
<h3>L.C. Smith and The Pacific Block</h3><br>
<p>In December 1898 the Seattle National Bank Building was bought for $152,000 by Syracuse, New York banker and industrialist Lyman Cornelius Smith who, through his agent/attorney James Clise had amassed a large portfolio of Seattle buildings and land that he and his heirs would improve over the next decade culminating with the construction of the Smith Tower. Smith insisted on owning both building and the land whose title was owned at the time by Harold A. Preston in trust of the late H.A.P. Carter, one of the original trustees of the building company that purchased the land for its construction. In a suit that made it as far as the superior court, beneficiaries of Carters trust including several large hardware and paint firms that had placed liens against the former building company as well as the Seattle National Bank itself came forward compelling Preston to sell below his asking price, eventually settling out of court. The building was officially rechristened as the Pacific Block in July 1899, as the previously eponymous bank hadnt been located there for several years. The banking room was initially converted into the offices of the North American Transportation & Trading Co., a steamship company and later for the local agents of the Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul and Pacific Railroad and New York Central Railroad.</p><br>
<p>The Fraternal Order of Eagles, established in Seattle in 1898, opened their first permanent lodge (Aerie No. 1) in the top floor of Pacific Block in 1899 and would host a variety of other fraternal clubs in their hall including the Foresters of America, the Improved Order of Red Men and the Tribe of Ben-Hur. In 1900 James Clise moved the offices of his investment company into the buildings 5th floor where he managed all of L.C. Smiths other properties in the city. Other tenants during this time included William Nottinghams Globe Navigation Company, various importers and exporters, mining brokers relating to the Klondike Gold Rush, and a high concentration of architects including Thomas G. Bird, Cutter & Malmgren, Henderson Ryan, P.J. Donohue, James Donnellan and Francis Barton. The Globe Navigation Company and James Clise would move their offices into the newly completed Globe Building at First and Madison Streets by the end of 1901 followed by the Seattle Savings Bank. Clises vacancy would be filled in 1902 by W.E. Granger who chose Seattle as the headquarters for his newly established Trans-Alaskan Railroad Company that was engaged in the race to build a railway connecting Iliamna Bay to the Bering Strait. He would use Seattle as a base for shipping construction materials to Alaska.</p><br>
<p>The building was visited by fire several times in the early 1900s, but its proximity to the fire department headquarters and the fact that numerous tenants were using their offices in the building as living quarters allowed for quick detection and minimal damage.</p><br>
<p>In February 1904 the old banking room was taken over by the Puget Sound Electric Railway for use as a ticket office and waiting room for the Seattle–Tacoma interurban line, which once again linked the building to developer Fred E. Sander who not only co-founded the railroad but had been responsible for purchasing most of the right of way. Originally located at the Southwest corner of First Avenue and Jackson Streets, the railway began looking for a new depot location when the Schwabacher Brothers decided to redevelop the lot. The railroad tracks, which originally ran up First Avenue to Yesler Way, were soon reconfigured into a loop that would pass in front of the Pacific Block before returning to First. At its peak the station had 27 daily departures for both Tacoma and the branch line to Renton.</p><br>
<p>Upon Smith&#39;s passing in 1910, his properties were willed to his widow Flora B. Smith, and upon her death in 1920 to their son Burns Lyman Smith (1880–1941) who would subsequently form the United Business Corporation as a holding company for all his Washington properties. Still residing in Syracuse, New York, he would later make Seattle his permanent home.</p><br>
<p>In the early 1910s, the 6th floor of the Pacific Block became the construction headquarters for the nearby Smith Tower, containing the offices of supervising architect H.W. Thompson and contractor the Whitney-Steen Company. Construction of the Smith Tower had barely reached ground level when B.L. Smith announced plans to demolish the Pacific Block and replace it with a building equal in height to the Smith Tower. Dubbed the B.L. Smith Building, construction would have begun as soon as the Smith Tower was completed but little else was mentioned of this project after the initial announcement.</p><br>
<h3>The Smith Tower Annex</h3><br>
<p>In the mid 1920s, the 2nd Avenue Extension project had stirred a brief revival in Pioneer Square real estate and despite the loss of foot traffic that the interurban had generated for the area, the Pacific Block remained a popular office address as other nearby office buildings were converted to hotels or fell vacant. In August 1926 B.L. Smith announced plans to once again replace the Pacific Block, this time with a $2 million 18-story skyscraper. Smith said about the revival of the neighborhood at the time:</p><br>
<p>His proposed building, tentatively titled the New Pacific Block would contain a parking garage on the first 3 floors that would serve the offices above as well as the nearby Smith Tower. No further mention was ever made of this tower (or a First Avenue extension) and the plans were quietly scaled back to a refurbishment of the existing Pacific Block.</p><br>
<p>Shortly after the closure of the Puget Sound Electric Railway a $100,000 interior modernization of the Pacific Block was begun by B.L. Smith in October 1929 under the direction of architect Frank H. Fowler. A $400,000 mortgage was placed on the Smith Tower to fund the project. The project included new interior finishes, wiring and elevators and the lowering of the ground floor to be level with the sidewalk. The most visible result of the renovation was the demolition of the building&#39;s entire southeastern corner down to the third floor, which was done in order to bring more light to the inner offices and to make room for the construction of a heating plant in its place. Echoing the original plans of the tower that could have replaced the building, the basement was converted into a parking garage which it is still used as today. Upon completion the building was renamed the Smith Tower Annex. At the same time what had been known previously as the L.C. Smith Building was officially renamed the Smith Tower.</p><br>
<p>Following B.L. Smiths passing in 1941, the Smith Tower Annex remained in his estate until January 1945 when both it and the Smith Tower were offered to the city of Seattle for $75,000 and $900,000 respectively. The city floated the idea of converting the annex into a garage for city vehicles that would be connected to the Smith Tower by an underground tunnel, but they ultimately passed on buying the buildings. The building would eventually be purchased by realtor and developer Irving Baderman, who hired Henry Broderick, Inc. to manage it. From the end of World War II and into the early 1950s the buildings upper floors were rented out by the USA Army, first to house the state offices of the Civil Aeronautics Authority and later the offices of the Seattle Port of Embarkation, their overseas supply division, air material office and the army and air force exchange services.</p><br>
<h3>The Interurban Building</h3><br>
<p>In the early 1970s the building, which had become mostly vacant and infested with pigeons under the previous owner, was purchased by architect and contractor George Filler and his wife Evelyn who undertook a multi-year $1.7 million project to upgrade the buildings interior for modern office and retail tenants. During this time a faux vintage mural advertising Washington State Ferries was painted over a ghost sign for Sperry Flour on the buildings south wall by Wallmarx as part of the "Seattle Walls" mural program, funded by the Downtown Seattle Development Association and the Seattle Arts Commission. Upon completion of renovations in 1977 the building was renamed the Interurban Building and once again became a prestigious office address for lawyers and agents.</p><br>

<p>The Park Street School is a historic school building at 60 Park Street in Springfield, Vermont.Built in 1895 and enlarged in 1929, it was the town&#39;s first high school to be built after the consolidation of district schools began. It served as a high school until 1968. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2020. The building now houses a worker training organization and residences.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Springfield&#39;s Park Street School is located across the Black River from the town center, on the south side of a climbing bend in Park Street. The building consists of two large blocks joined by a recessed connecting wing. The older portion of the building, built in 1895-6 is to the right, while the left side and connector were added in 1929. Both main blocks feature Classical Revival styling. The older one has a three-section facade, with a projecting central entrance bay flanked by large round-topped windows. The entrance bay is itself three bays wide, articulated by pilasters and topped by a triangular pediment. The 1929 block echos some of these features, with a similar central bay flanked by bays of large sash windows on each of its floors.</p><br>
<p>The school was built in 1895-6, to a design by local architect Hiram Beckwith. It was not the first high school in the town, which was a private seminary established in 1846. After its move to Montpelier in 1866, the town established a publicly funded high school the following year. This school was built in part as a response to state legislating mandating municipal controls over all public education, essentially ending the era of district schools. The school initially had ten classrooms, which proved to be inadequate as little as ten years later to meet growing demand. A second building (no longer extant) was built on the same property in 1911 to meet this demand, with a further addition to the rear of this school in 1920. Continued growth eventually spurred the construction of the second large wing, which was designed by Haynes & Mason of Keene, New Hampshire and built in 1929-31.</p><br>
<p>Continued population growth in the town eventually required the construction of the new Springfield High School, which opened in 1968. This school was then repurposed to house lower grades and school administration.</p><br>

<p>It served its purpose until 1979, when it became redundant by the construction of larger levees surrounding it.</p><br>
<p>It is located at Siding Floodgate Crossing, north of Louisiana Highway 451, about 2.6 mi east of Bordelonville.</p><br>
<p>The Walter and Sylvia Stockmayer House is a historic house at 48 Overlook Drive in Norwich, Vermont. Built in 1961 to a design by Allan Gelbin, it is one of the town&#39;s finer examplers of Usonian Mid-Century Modern architecture, a style espoused by Frank Lloyd Wright that is also relatively rare in the state. It was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 2020.</p><br>

<p>The Stockmayer House is located in a rural setting north of the village center of Norwich, on about 3 acre on the north side of Willey Hill Road. The house is set near the north end of the property, with the terrain sloping gradually to the south. This area is primarily meadow, opening views from the house to the surrounding countryside. The house is a single-story construction, with an irregularly but roughly rectangular footprint. It is built with wood framing on a concrete foundation, its exterior finished in board-and-batten siding with metal-framed glass. It has a flat roof finished in membrane, except for a central low-pitch gable finished in glass, providing skylit illumination into the house&#39;s interior. An open carport extends to the right of the main structure. The southern facade of the house is primarily glass, with a deep overhanging eave providing shade from the summer heat. A designed patio landscape extends further to the south. The interior of the house retains many original features and finished.</p><br>
<p>The house was built in 1961 for Walter and Sylvia Stockmayer; he had then recently accepted a professorship at Dartmouth College in nearby Hanover, New Hampshire. The house was designed by Allan Gelbin, a protégé of Frank Lloyd Wright who was then in the early years of a productive career. The Stockmayers, seeking a modern design for their home, were connected to Gelbin by Lucille Zimmerman, who owned a Wright-designed house in Manchester, New Hampshire. Gelbin later described the work on designing and building the house as being highly influential on his subsequent work.</p><br>

<p>A photo of the school is included in "America’s Country Schools", a 1996 book by Andrew Gulliford, who stated: "Built from a plan book, this school has double entrances with canopies and an ornate bell tower." He suggested the schools symmetrical design indicated it may have been taken from a plan book. He also noted that having a belfry or bell tower "usually placed above the entrance to the schoolhouse, had become a status symbol for many school districts by the nineteenth century."</p><br>
<p>One teacher at the school was Betty Farrington, who taught fourteen students there during 1938-39 for a salary of $75 per month; there was at least one student in each grade from one to eight.</p><br>
<p>The property also includes two privies, a shed, a swing set and a seesaw.</p><br>
<p>The 1875 Frantz Ditch runs through its property.</p><br>
<p>It was deemed significant as "an exceptionally well-preserved example of a one-room rural schoolhouse", and is unusual for being built of brick.</p><br>
<p>The Poncha Springs Schoolhouse, at 330 Burnett St. near Poncha Springs, Colorado in Chaffee County, Colorado, was built in Italianate style during 1881–83. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990. It was then the Poncha Springs Town Hall and Museum.</p><br>
<p>It is a two-story building, T-shaped in plan, built of masonry with prominent quoins and a "belvedere style" cupola / bell tower. In 1990, the original bell was stored in the basement.</p><br>
<p>It was deemed a "town landmark" and significant "for its excellent representation of the Italianate style of architecture that is used in many masonry buildings in Chaffee County."</p><br>
<p>In 2021 it continues to hold the town hall and a museum.</p><br>
<p>The Maysville School in Maysville, Colorado, also known as the Maysville Schoolhouse, is a schoolhouse built in 1912. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.</p><br>
<p>It seems the school was built as a two-story building in 1882, located centrally in a growing town area, but by 1912, when it "acquired its current configuration", the local area was rural. It is now a one-story, vernacular wood frame one-room schoolhouse. It served as a school until 1939, then as a private house, and in 1948 it was modified to serve as a bus garage for the school district. It was sold to the Salida Museum Association in 1977 and then was restored. It hosts community meetings and the teacher&#39;s quarters serve as a museum.</p><br>
<p>It has a bell tower with bell. It is "the most intact building associated with early 20th century Maysville."</p><br>
<p>The schoolhouse is located south of USA Route 50.</p><br>
<p>The Maxwell Park School, in Chaffee County, Colorado near Buena Vista, Colorado was built in 1912, replacing an earlier, wooden building built in 1889. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2020.</p><br>
<p>It is a rural one-room schoolhouse, about 31x26 ft in plan. According to nearby ranch owner Suze Kelly,The school building was built of handmade cement blocks and you can see the hand and fingerprints in the blocks. The Centerville school, now gone, was also built of these blocks. The blocks are from 18-23 inches long and hollow; the cement is rough and full of rocks. The kitchen addition on the Kelly ranch house is also built of these same blocks. There are fish scale shingles on gables at the peak at front and back of the school.... There is a bell tower (minus the bell) on the front of the roof....Behind the school building was a barn for the kids to keep their horses in while they were in school for the day.</p><br>
<p>The school building and the earlier structure it replaced served as a school from 1889 to 1933, during which time there were 25 female teachers and one male teacher. Some of these lived at the Nachtrieb ranch, 1.5 mi away, and rode a horse to school. The Nachtrieb ranch became the Kelly ranch in 1951, and was listed on the National Register as Nachtrieb-Kelly Ranch in 2017.</p><br>
<p>It is located 3 mi south of Buena Vista at the northwest corner of the junction of Chaffee County Roads 321 and 326.</p><br>
<p>The Manhattan Hotel in Salida, Colorado, at 225 F St., was built in 1901. It served as a hotel until the 1930s, and went vacant after the railroad closed, then was opened intermittently. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<p>It has also been known as the Fib-Ark Building, as it was willed to the Federation of International Boaters of the Arkansas (Fib-Ark) in 1976 to use in their annual kayak races, perhaps Salida&#39;s most important summer event. It was subsequently purchased, by 1982, by an owner pledging to restore the building.</p><br>
<p>It was deemed significant as "an outstanding example in Salida of turn-of-the-century commercial architecture, displaying sensative articulation in detailing uncommon in the community&#39;s remaining historic buildings. It is an unusual example of contrasting asymetrical massing, history-revealing layered signage, masonically symbolic capital elements, graceful arched windows, and interesting masonry textures."</p><br>
<p>It was in fact renovated and opened as Manhattan VRBO, a VRBO self-service type hotel, in 2019, and also hosts the Boathouse Cantina restaurant on its first floor. It has a spa deck and hot tub, but those were closed permanently in 2021.</p><br>
<p>The Wooster Sawmill and Gristmill Site is a historic industrial site on Park Road in Oxford, Connecticut. From at least 1747 until 1965 it was operated as a sawmill, gristmill, and cider mill, giving it one of the longest known histories as a water-powered mill complex in the United States. The surviving elements of the complex, its structures now converted to private residential use, were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2001.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The former Wooster mill site is located in southeastern Oxford, on the northside of Park Road where it crosses the Little River, a short way west of Connecticut Route 67. Surviving elements of the complex include a now-breached dam and remnants of the mill pond, and a mill building which has been converted into a private residence. The mill building is a two-story wood-frame structure built in the 1920s, covered with a gabled roof. As part of its residential conversion, elements of the mill power equipment were preserved, including the last water turbine to provide its power.</p><br>
<p>The property&#39;s industrial history dates to at least 1747, when standing mills at this site are mentioned in a property sale record. The property was purchased about 1750 by Captain John Wooster, who also operated a tavern on the nearby turnpike (now CT 67). In 1926 the mill was purchased by Joe Montriski, who operated the mill until his death in 1965. Montriski built the present mill structure, which also served as a family residence. He adapted a 19th-century reaction turbine to provide water power to the mill, which sawed lumber and ground apples into cider. The property was sold by his family in 1971, and converted to residential use.</p><br>
<p>The Nathaniel Richardson House was a historic house on Kelly Street in Middlebury, Connecticut. With an estimated construction date of 1800, it was one of the community&#39;s oldest houses. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1977. It appears to have either been demolished or moved; it is no longer standing at its listed location.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Nathaniel Richardson House stood in eastern Middlebury, on the north side of Kelly Street opposite the Memorial Middle School. It was a -story timber-framed structure, with a gabled roof, central brick chimney, and exterior finished in wooden shingles. Its main facade was five bays wide, with a center entrance flanked by sash windows. A one-room single-story ell extended to the right of the main block. The roof had a shallow overhand in the front, with a line of dentil molding. The main entrance was flanked by wooden pilasters rising to molded capitals, and there was a transom window with four elliptical lights above the door. The interior had similar woodwork of good quality in the main parlor chamber, and also featured wide wooden floorboards.</p><br>
<p>The houses construction date was of some uncertainty. The Richardson family, who settled this area in the early 18th century, were farmers. Local lore states that Nathaniel Richardson entertained French troops here during the American Revolutionary War, suggesting that a house was standing at or near this site in the early 1780s. Stylistic and architectural evidence suggests that this house was more likely built later, around 1800 by his son Ebenezer. The wing is possibly of older construction, and may have been attached to an earlier structure. At the time of the buildings National Register listing in 1977 it was in poor condition.</p><br>
<p>The Warham Williams House is a historic house in Roxbury, Connecticut. Originally built in 1752 in Northford, Connecticut for the Reverend Warham Williams, Northford&#39;s first settled minister, it is architecturally significant for its elaborate front door surround. It was moved to a rural setting in Roxbury in 1978. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1971.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Warham Williams House originally occupied a prominent setting in the village of Northford, standing just south of the Northford Congregational Church. It is a -story wood-frame structure, with a gabled roof and clapboarded exterior. Its main facade is five bays wide, windows placed symmetrically around the center entrance. The entrance consists of narrow double doors, flanked by pilasters which rise to support an elaborate entablature crowned by a broken scrolled pediment. The interior originally followed a typical center chimney plan, with parlor spaces on either side of the chimney and long kitchen behind. The entry vestibule also included a narrow winding stair leading to the upstairs chambers. In one of the upstairs closets is a graffiti-like collection of writing which apparently identifies all of the painters who painted the house. The "best" parlor also features free-hand drawings on the walls which have been attributed to a regional artist, Jared Jessup, and date to the early 19th century.</p><br>
<p>Reverend Warham Williams was appointed minister of the Northford Congregational Church in 1750, and not long afterward had this house built. It was then also the home of his successor, William Noyes, before serving for many years as a church rectory for the local Episcopal church. It was deconstructed (in a process documented by the local historical society), and moved to Roxbury, Connecticut in 1978, where it forms part of a house composed of several older buildings.</p><br>
<p>The Guldner House, at 1919 W. Douglas in Wichita in Sedgwick County, Kansas is a Queen Anne style house built to a design by the Radford Architectural Company. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2010.</p><br>
<p>The house was built in 1910 by Benjamin Guldner, who was born on March 3, 1859, in Davenport, Iowa and moved to Rice County, Kansas at the age of 18 to help his father in a mill.</p><br>
<p>One of his earlier family residencies was built in section 5 of Eureka, Kansas at a cost of two thousand dollars. He had married Henrietta Evans on May 6, 1880, with whom he had had three children, Lillie O, Maggie E, and Roscoe L.</p><br>
<p>Guldner, his wife, and family moved into the house at the end of 1910 and it was occupied by Guldner&#39;s daughter Maggie until her death in November 1980.</p><br>
<p>The design was Radford Design #7082 taken from page 254 of William A. Radfords publication Radfords Artistic Homes published in 1908.</p><br>
<p>Radfords designs were regularly updated in their details and assigned new numbers, and the design bears a strong resemblance to Radford Design #517 on pages 156 and 157 of Radfords earlier Radford American Homes 100 House Plans published in 1903.</p><br>
<p>Guldner ordered the design through Caldwell and Hoffman Lumber Dealers in 1910, with the lumber sourced from the Western Planing Mill in Wichita.</p><br>
<p>He requested several variations from the Radford specification (in letters to Caldwell and Hoffman and marked on the blueprints themselves), including to the style of the front door, a widening of the hallway, and an extension to the bay, and consequent adjustment to the roof, by 3 feet.</p><br>
<p>Later owners in the 1980s were to remodel the kitchen and replace the sash windows with fixed windows.</p><br>
<p>The Morley Bridge, also known as the Romley Bridge, located near Romlee in Chaffee County, Colorado, is a wrought-iron pin-connected Pratt truss bridge that was built in 1881. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2003.</p><br>
<p>The bridge has a 13.2 ft timber deck roadway and is 83 ft long, with a span of 80 ft on its Pratt trusses. It has a timber deck and stone masonry wing walls and abutments.</p><br>
<p>It was built as part of railway construction towards Alpine Pass in 1881 near what was then known as Morley ("also called Red Town because all the buildings were painted red, and later renamed Romley in 1897"). A tunnel at Alpine Pass was completed in 1882 and was then the highest elevation tunnel in North America. The first train from Nathrop, Colorado, to Gunnison, Colorado, went through in 1892. The railway served mines in the area until this section of railway was closed in 1926, and the bridge then was converted to a county road bridge. It carried vehicle traffic until 1992 when it was bypassed and was converted to a pedestrian bridge.</p><br>
<p>According to History Colorado, the bridge is Colorados "oldest dateable vehicular truss" and "one of Colorados most important spans". It is "one of the few remaining truss bridges with both wrought and cast iron components... also the only known pin-connected deck truss in the state.</p><br>
<p>The bridge spans Pomeroy Gulch, and is located off Chaffee County Road 297 at milepost 2.40, 2.2 mi southwest of St. Elmo, Colorado.</p><br>
<p>The Cucamonga Service Station is a historic gas and automobile service station located in Rancho Cucamonga, California. Local lore claims it was built in 1915 by Henry Klusman, who built many of the early buildings in Cucamonga, but no documented evidence of this has been yet discovered. The station operated until 1971. In 1926, the historic USA Route 66 was organized, and the station sits on the North side of the Route 66. The Cucamonga Service Station was originally one of thousands of similar service stations along the route. Today, it is the only surviving service station of its design on Route 66 in California.</p><br>
<p>William Harvey was the original owner. He operated the Cucamonga Garage and Cyclery on the lot next door from the present day station. In 1914 he purchased the lot next door and built a larger garage with curb side gas pumps out front. Business must have been good because in November 1915 he purchased the land behind the garage from Henry Klusman, (This may be where the idea that Klusman built the station came from.) The streetside garage was then taken down and rebuilt (probably in 1916) at the back of the lot and given a new facade of a Spanish Colonial style to match the new gas station built in front. After being structurally weakened by a fire, the garage collapsed in 2011 during a heavy storm.</p><br>
<p>From the 1930s through the 1960s, it was a Richfield Oil Corporation gas station, owned and operated by Ancil Morris and ceased operation entirely in the early 1970s. The Rancho Cucamonga city council voted in 2009 to make the Cucamonga Service Station a city landmark but that designation did not provide funds for preservation or restoration.</p><br>
<p>In 2013 the property was owned by Lamar Advertising and when they requested permission to demolish it the city council denied the request informing them of its protection as a city historical landmark. Not being in the business of historic preservation they made a deal with Route 66 Inland Empire California (IECA), a local historic preservation non-profit organization. The property and station were donated to Route 66 IECA with the stipulation that they maintain an easement for access to Lamars billboard at the edge of the lot. Lamar was able to write off the charitable donation and the station was now owned by someone who could restore it. It was converted into a small museum in 2015. The station is visited each week by tourists from around the world and across the country as they travel Americas Mother Road as well as locals who just want to come in and reminisce.</p><br>
<p>The restoration was provided by private donations, grants, and volunteer labor and has since won numerous awards and honors.</p><br>
<p>2009 - City Landmark designation.</p><br>
<p>2015 - Dedication Plaque from the Native Sons of the Golden West.</p><br>
<p>2016 - Preservation Design Award from the California Preservation Foundation.</p><br>
<p>2018 - Governor&#39;s Historic Preservation Award.</p><br>
<p>2018 - Listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>2019 - Best of Rancho Cucamonga - Museum.</p><br>
<p>2020 - Route 66 IECA named Non-Profit of the year - Rancho Cucamonga Chamber of Commerce.</p><br>
<p>Future plans include raising enough funds to rebuild the garage at the back of the lot which will greatly expand the museum space.</p><br>
<p>The Estabrook Historic District, southeast of Bailey, Colorado, is a 272 acre historic district which was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.</p><br>
<p>It was deemedsignificant for its association with the Denver South Park & Pacific Railway and the tourist industry that developed at some points along the line. The District is also significant for its architectural features, notably the excellent examples of the rustic style seen in the Rocky Mountains, and for its association with some of the state&#39;s most important pioneers.</p><br>
<p>It is a former community on the North Fork of the South Platte River which has rustic stone and wood buildings and structures, including ice houses, barns and other outbuildings, which was at the Estabrook stop of the Denver South Park & Pacific Railway. It includes a small railroad bridge which is believed to be the only surviving original bridge of that railway. It is entirely privately owned property, although nearly surrounded by the Pike National Forest.</p><br>
<p>The district included ten contributing buildings and a contributing structure on 272 acre.</p><br>
<p>The Carrswold Historic District is a historic district in Clayton, Missouri. The district comprises a subdivision patterned after the garden city movement containing 23 single-family homes built between 1922 and 1924, which are located on Carrswold Drive on the north side of Wydown Boulevard. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
<p>Carrswold was designed by Danish-born landscape architect Jens Jensen and was built on the former estate of St. Louis businessman Robert E. Carr, for which the subdivision was named. Jensen originally landscaped the community with native greenery and plant species, including hawthorn, sumac, and crabapple trees. Jensen also enacted several covenants, including prohibiting fences, front-facing garages, and any house or structure built in the California bungalow style.</p><br>
<p>The entrance to the neighborhood is marked by stone pillars topped with lights, as well as a stone pavilion which served as a waiting area for the streetcar that formerly ran down Wydown Boulevard. The neighborhood&#39;s street is laid out in a large oval shape that contains common areas jointly owned by the residents. Of the 23 homes in the neighborhood, 15 were designed by the architecture firm Maritz & Young in styles including Colonial Revival, Georgian Revival, and Tudor Revival.</p><br>
<p>The Brentmoor Park, Brentmoor and Forest Ridge District is a historic district comprising three private subdivisions in the city of Clayton, Missouri, a suburb of St. Louis, that were platted in 1910, 1911, and 1913, respectively by Henry Wright. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>Inspired by the garden city movement, Wright designed all three of the subdivisions to face inward toward their common grounds and away from the noise and congestion of Wydown Boulevard and the streetcar line which formerly ran along it. The subdivisions share common characteristics such as limited access from surrounding thoroughfares, curving interior drives, up to 3 acre lot sizes, and large, traditionally-designed houses. Brentmoor Park and Forest Ridge lie to the west of Big Bend Blvd. and flanking Wydown Blvd. the entrances both have matching tile-roofed red granite pavilions that served as waiting areas for the streetcar that formerly ran along Wydown Blvd. Brentmoor lies to the north of Wydown Blvd. just west of Brentmoor Park; the two subdivisions were originally linked, but the connection was closed off soon after construction.</p><br>
<p>Brentmoor Park was designed around a draw, or small valley, which has its lowest point near the intersection of Big Bend and Wydown. This natural land formation forms the common ground of a rectangular 33.8 acre tract. The 23 acre tract encompassing Forest Ridge has only 6 homes and rises to a central plateau with the lots planned around a large circular private park. Brentmoor&#39;s layout has a simple oval plan due to the evenness of its 49.8 acre.</p><br>
<p>The three subdivisions in this district contain 47 houses, 21 of which were built in the first decade after the sites were opened, with an additional 16 homes built before 1930. The homes contain a variety of architectural styles, including Medieval and Tudor Revival, Georgian Revival, Regency Revival, Colonial Revival, Spanish Colonial, and Mediterranean. Multiple residences were designed by Wright himself, along with architects including Howard Van Doren Shaw, Jamieson and Spearl, and Maritz & Young.</p><br>
