<p>The Rising Sun Tavern is a historic house and former public accommodation on Old Tavern Road in North Haven, Connecticut. Probably built around 1760, it is a well-preserved example of an 18th-century tavern house, serving in that role into the mid-19th century. Now a private residence, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The former Rising Sun Tavern house stands in eastern North Haven, on the south side of Old Tavern Road. The roadway is an old alignment of a major 19th-century north-south turnpike, now bypassed by the modern alignment of Connecticut Route 17. The tavern is a 2-1/2 story wood frame structure, with a gabled roof, two brick end chimneys, and a clapboarded exterior. The main facade is five bays wide, with sash windows set symmetrically around the center entrance. The entrance is framed by pilasters, which rise to a corniced entablature. The interior of the building follows a typical center hall plan, with a single-run staircase in the central hall, and four chambers, two on either side, on each floor. A single-story kitchen ell extends to the rear of the main block. The property, encompassing more than 3 acre, is notable for the lack of modern intrusions.</p><br>
<p>The exact construction date of the house is unknown, but is likely mid-18th century, based on stylistic and documentary evidence. The property includes a sign with a rising sun motif, and naming two of the early tavern proprietors. It is marked with the date 1738, suggesting an active tavern has been standing here since at least then. The owner in 1738 was Caleb Hitchcock, whose family sold the property to Gideon Todd in 1786. The Todd family operated the tavern until its closure in the 1860s. They also served as tolltakers on the Middletown Turnpike (now CT 17) which opened in 1812 and had a toll gate nearby.</p><br>
<p>The Fairplay Hotel, a hotel at 500 Main St. in Fairplay, Colorado, was built in 1922. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2008.</p><br>
<p>Fairplay was a mining town; it is located in South Park and is the county seat of Park County.</p><br>
<p>It is designed in Rustic architecture style by prolific Denver architect William N. Bowman. The styling includes faux thatched roofing.</p><br>
<p>In 2004, a couple was trying to revive the hotel.</p><br>
<p>Blanco Bridge or Bridge 152  was built in 1924, on Puerto Rico Highway 10 at km 48.1 in Arenas, a barrio of Utuado in Puerto Rico. PR-10 at this location connects the towns / municipalities of Utuado and Adjuntas. It&#39;s named Puente Blanco  because it was painted white for decades. The concrete bridge rises 33 feet over the Pellejas River between Adjuntas and Utuado. The total length of the bridge is 20.5 meters and its width is 4.9 meters. The bridge designer was Rafael Nevares and Martín Aparicio was the builder. The bridge which cost $23,796 was important for these inland coffee municipalities. The bridge was added to the US National Register of Historic Places on July 19, 1995. The bridge met the requirements for its design and craftsmanship as well as for its significance to the historical period between 1924 - 1944 in Puerto Rico when coffee production was an important part of its economy. The bridge helped improve exchange and communication between nearby communities working in coffee production.</p><br>

<p>The River Park Historic District encompasses the residential and civic heart of the city of Milford, Connecticut. Stretching along both sides of the Wepawaug River, the area includes part of Milford&#39;s earliest colonial settlement, and a series of parks that resulted from an early 20th-century beautification project. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Milford was founded in 1640 by colonists who had theological differences with the neighboring New Haven Colony, with the objective of establishing their own colony. One of the original settler&#39;s homes, that of Thomas Buckingham</p><br>
<p>built in 1650, still survives in this district. The early settlement took place along the banks of the Wepawaug, and developed slowly, its early economy driven by oyster fishing and shipbuilding. In the 19th century the river was bridged at Broad Street, near the south end of the district, and other industries, most notably carriage manufacture, led to a population boom. During this time, the business heart of the town moved south to Broad Street, and residential construction took place along roads radiating away from the river. As a result, the present district now includes a variety of housing styles from the across the city&#39;s history.</p><br>
<p>In the early 20th century, the city undertook a major beautification project, lining the banks of the Wepawaug River, and creating a series of parks which highlight the river, and building attractive stone bridges at key points. The parks highlight two of the city&#39;s major civic buildings: the town hall, a Classical Revival structure built in 1916, and the United Church of Christ Congregational Church, a late Federal-style building dating to 1823.</p><br>
<p>The Ojibway Fire Tower is a fire tower located at the junction of Greenstone Ridge and Mt. Ojibway Trails in Isle Royale National Park. The tower was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2021.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In 1936, soon after Isle Royale was designated a national park, the large Greenstone Ridge Fire swept through a portion of the island. In response, in 1939 the National Park Service constructed two fire towers on the island, one near what is now the New Feldtmann Fire Tower and one on Mount Ojibway. These towers were constructed of wood, and by the 1950s were badly deteriorating. Plans were in place by 1961 to replace them, but funds were not available until two years later. In 1963, the original Ojibway Fire Tower was torn down, and in 1964 construction began on a new tower. The tower was completed in 1965.</p><br>
<p>However, by 1968, the fire management strategies in the park had changes, and the tower was no longer staffed; instead, it was used to house the radio repeater station for the island. In 1987, NPS added equipment to monitor air pollution on Isle Royale.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Ojibway Fire Tower is a variation on the US Forest Service&#39;s "Standard Steel Lookout Tower...with Living Quarters" design. At the top of the tower is a pre-fabricated cab measuring approximately 14 feet by 14 feet, The cab is constructed of metal panels and contains windows on all four sides. A metal balcony surrounds the cab, and is accessed by a ladder from below.</p><br>
<p>Ocqueoc Outdoor Center, formerly known as Camp Black Lake, is a former Civilian Conservation Corps located at 7142 Ocqueoc Lake Road in Ocqueoc Township, Michigan. It is now used as a youth and adult outdoor education center. The site is significant as one of only two surviving CCC camps in Michigan, out of the 122 different original camp locations. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2021.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The state of Michigan began setting aside land for state forests in the 1920s. In 1928, the Black Lake State Forest was created in Presque Isle County. When Franklin Roosevelt started his New Deal programs, the area became an ideal place to begin some of the New Deal conservation programs. Camp Black Lake was built in 1933 as part of the Emergency Conservation Work (late renamed the Civilian Conservation Corps) program. The camp was used to house unemployed middle-aged veterans of the Spanish American War and WWI. These were replaced by younger men in 1936, but veterans returned the next year. The camp was active year-round until the CCC was disbanded in 1941.</p><br>
<p>After World War II, most of the buildings at Camp Black Lake were repurposed as a youth outdoor recreation and education center. The State of Michigan owned the CCC buildings and the surrounding state forest, but leased the site to Michigan State University Extension for 4-H</p><br>
<p>camping groups, and later to the Michigan United Conservation Clubs for similar purposes. The MUCC terminated their lease in 2002, and the camp buildings were to be demolished. However, objections from residents and local government officials in Presque Isle County led the state to transfer the buildings and grounds to Presque Isle County in 2004. The county continues to own and operate the site as a youth and adult outdoor education, recreation, and event venue.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>Camp Black Lake consists of eight buildings: two barracks, a wash house (originally a third barracks), mess hall, administrative headquarters, hospital, garage and oil storage building. Two additional buildings located on the site, a frame and a log classroom, were constructed later. The buildings sit on a 17-acre site on Ocqueoc Lake. All of the original buildings are modular, intended to be erected quickly by inexperienced workers. The barracks, washhouse, mess hall and headquarters modules are located in a cluster. They were all constructed using wood framing members and sheathing, tarpaper and wood batten siding and rolled asphalt roofing. The tarpaper and wood batten siding has been replaced with cement shingle siding. The original camp hospital is a small residential structure located overlooking Ocqueoc Lake. A masonry oil storage building and a wood garage are located along the entry drive.</p><br>
<p>The Bailey Buildings are two related commercial structures, located at 513-519 West Ionia Street in Lansing, Michigan. They were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2021.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Orla H. Bailey was born in Lansing in 1873. He spent some time as a clerk at the Cottage Grocery store, then in 1900 rented a wooden commercial building at this location on Ionia Street and opened his own grocery. IN 1915, Bailey purchased the property outright. The grocery business continued to prosper, and in 1922 Bailey hired local firm Cooper-Ehinger Construction Company to build a new store at the same location. Construction on the building (517-519 Ionia) began in July, and was finished by January 1923. Bailey moved his grocery into the buildings, and let out the other storefront to the Jay M. Toy Electrical Company. In 1925, Bailey purchased the nearby lot, and in 1927 constructed a second, similar building (513-515 Ionia). He leased space to barber Alvin B. Cooley and the Russel Bakery.</p><br>
<p>Bailey apparently later acquired the bakery, and operated both the grocery and the bakery until his death from a heart attack in 1943. The businesses passed to his son, Orla H. Bailey Jr., who ran the bakery through the late 1940s, and the grocery until 1959. The storefronts were occupied by a series of businesses afterward, notably Chaunceys Barber Shop which occupied a space from 1929 though 1984, and Belens Flowers which occupied a space from 1969 to 2010. The two buildings were sold to real estate broker Spiro Tesseris and his wife Sophia in 1984, and was purchased by 515 Ionia LLC in 2015. They completely rehabilitated the buildings, and as of 2021 have leased to new tenants.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Bailey Buildings are a pair of red brick commercial buildings, located in a neighborhood just outside of Lansing&#39;s central business district. Both buildings are flat roofed, two-story double storefront structures with commercial space on the ground floor and apartments above. The buildings have minimal ornamentation. The building at 513-515 West Ionia Street measures 27 feet across by 60 feet deep, with an 18 by 18 foot, single-story addition located at the southeast corner. On the façade, a recessed central entrance is flanked by large display windows. Each storefront has a separate entrance. The building at 517-519 West Ionia Street is larger than the first building, but very similar in style. It measures 47 feet across the front by 51 feet deep.</p><br>
<p>The Como School, on Spruce St. in Como, Colorado, is a school complex its oldest building, a grade school with a belltower, built in 1883. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000.</p><br>
<p>The grade school building is a wood-frame structure that was a one-room schoolhouse, serving students in grades one through four on one side of the aisle and grades five through eight on the other.</p><br>
<p>The property also included a wood frame high school building which was moved to the property in the 1930s, two outhouses, and a storage shed.</p><br>
<p>The school operated from 1883 to 1948. In 2010 the grade school building was identified as the Como Civic Center.</p><br>
<p>The Tarryall School, at 31000 County Rd. in Tarryall, Colorado , was built in 1921. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.</p><br>
<p>The school is a white one-room schoolhouse, which replaced a previous school on the site. It was built by volunteers supervised by Ollie Parker, a carpenter. The property also includes a teacherage.</p><br>
<p>It served as a school from 1921 to 1949. Its highest enrollment was 35 pupils in 1908–1909.</p><br>
<p>The Salt Works Ranch, at 3858 USA Route 285 in Park County, Colorado near Hartsel, Colorado, was founded in 1862. The land is unusual for the presence of saline springs. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2001.</p><br>
<p>The ranch includes the Colorado Salt Works, which is separately listed on the National Register, and is crossed by USA Highway 285 and by the 1879 railroad grade of the Denver South Park & Pacific.</p><br>
<p>The listed area includes 17 contributing buildings, two contributing structures, and a contributing site, on 128 acre.</p><br>
<p>The main ranch house was built in 1872; it has elements of Second Empire style.</p><br>
<p>A number of homestead log cabins, some moved from elsewhere to serve as quarters for ranch hands, survive on the property.</p><br>
<p>The property has senior water rights used for hay meadows. In the same family for 140 years, it has been designated a Colorado Centennial Ranch by the Colorado Historical Society.</p><br>
<p>The Baca House and Outbuilding, in Trinidad, Colorado, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1970.</p><br>
<p>The Baca House is part of the Trinidad History Museum, which "features the historic Bloom Mansion and Baca House, two residences built in the late 19th century, as well as heritage gardens and the Santa Fe Trail Museum, all on one block in Trinidad&#39;s acclaimed historic district."</p><br>
<p>It is a two-story adobe house having 10 rooms, which was home of rancher and businessman Felipe Baca. An adobe outbuilding includes 12 rooms, arranged in a 160 ft long building, which housed ranch hands and visitors.</p><br>
<p>The house was originally built for "Santa Fe Trail entrepreneur" John Hough. Felipe and Dolores Baca purchased it for 22,000 pounds of wool. It was built in 1869 or 1870.</p><br>
<p>The property is on the 300 block of Main St. in Trinidad. The Bloom Mansion is adjacent.</p><br>
<p>In 1970 it was expected the house, after renovations were completed, would be opened as a museum.</p><br>
<p>The Route 146 Historic District encompasses a historic streetscape in Branford and Guilford, Connecticut. Extending along Connecticut Route 146 between Flat Rock Road in Branford and the West River bridge in Guilford, it includes two centuries of rural residential architecture, and a well-preserved pre-World War II street layout created as a "state assistance road" in the 1920s. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>What is now Connecticut Route 146 in Branford and Guilford was originally laid out in the early 18th century, and the surrounding area developed into the early 19th century as a scattered collection of farmsteads. The railroad which now roughly parallels its route along this stretch, crossing it twice, was opened in 1852, but development remained slow and predominantly agricultural. By 1880, the farms in the area had been joined by a row of houses built for workers at a nearby stone quarry. The first significant changes to the road alignment took place in the 1890s, when the railroad line was elevated and widened to two tracks, with grade crossings replaced by stone overpasses. In the early 20th century, the road was one of the few in the two towns to be designated a "state assistance road", which made available state funding for improvements. In the 1920s and 1930s, the roadway was widened, paved, and its curves and dips were smoothed out.</p><br>
<p>The district is about 169 acre in size, and includes the entire road right-of-way for Route 146 between the West River in Guilford and Flat Rock Road in Branford. It abuts the Guilford Historic Town Center to the east and the Stony Creek–Thimble Islands Historic District to the west. The built architecture of the district is entirely residential, representing a cross-section of rural styles covering 200 years from the early 18th to early 20th centuries. Several of the houses are early farmsteads of the locally prominent Leete family, whose name is given to the roadway in Guilford (Leete&#39;s Island Road). Two houses, the John Rogers House (c. 1750) and the Pelatiah Leete House (1710), are individually listed on the National Register.</p><br>
<p>Irvine Bean and Growers Association Building, sometimes referred to as the Sack Storage Warehouse or the Bean Warehouse Building, at 14952 Sand Canyon Ave. in Irvine, California, was built in 1895. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986. It was used as a storage facility for trains on the tracks directly to the west of the building. It could up to 200,000 sacks of 100 pounds each holding lima, garbanzo, black-eyed beans, barley, or oats.</p><br>
<p>The building measures 450 feet long and 40 feet wide. Inside the warehouse was two fumigation rooms which could hold up to 500 sacks which took a full day to fumigate. Today, it is split into a multi-use development. With the northern half being used as a hotel and the southern half for office space.</p><br>
<p>The Frank Latuda House, at 431 W. Colorado Ave. in Trinidad, Colorado, was built in 1925. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2010.</p><br>
<p>It was designed by architect Issac Hamilton Rapp and colleagues, in Mediterranean Revival style.</p><br>
<p>It was deemed significant "as an excellent example of a nearly twentieth-century distinctive Mediterranean Revival style house," and the only house in Trinidad of that style. Its Mediterranean Revival features include its "use of a red tile roof, subdued and limited application of ornamentation, a low-pitched hipped roof, arched entrances and light colored brick to contrast with the red tile roof."</p><br>
<p>The listing included a second contributing building, which is a compatibly-designed garage, and two contributing structures.</p><br>
<p>"With the two original unaltered buildings and two unaltered structures intact along with the garage’s original heating system intact and the house’s original interior woodwork, hardware, architect designed cabinets and built-in dressers, doors, light fixtures and kitchen sink intact, the Frank Latuda House retains a high degree of integrity of location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling and association. Initially popularized by the 1915 Pan American Exhibition in San Diego Mediterranean Revival style architecture became a prominent eclectic design in coastal cities of Florida and California."</p><br>
<p>It was also deemed significant in the state as "the only unaltered, intact Mediterranean Revival residence and garage known to exist in rural eastern Colorado." The only two other Mediterranean Revival style houses known to exist in rural eastern Colorado are the Petteys Mansion in Brush (state register #5MR.819) and the Hamerslough Residence in Trinidad (state register #5LA.2179.241). These others have lost historic integrity by dint of alterations and additions.</p><br>
<p>St. Mary of the Assumption Church is a parish of the Roman Catholic Church located at Laurin, Madison County, Montana, United States, in the Diocese of Helena. It is noted for its historic parish church.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Built between 1899 and 1900, St. Mary of the Assumption church in Laurin is significant as a well-preserved example of Gothic Revival ecclesiastical architecture. Designed by the eminent Montana architectural firm of Link & Haire, the church features extraordinarily high quality craftsmanship exhibited by the masonry and interior woodwork, a prominent three story bell tower in the front, and attractive stained glass Gothic windows highlighted by decorative stone arches and lintels. St. Mary of the Assumption has served as the primary Roman Catholic church for a widely dispersed mining and agricultural population within the Ruby Valley of southwestern Montana for nearly 90 years. In excellent condition, it is a major architectural landmark and the largest, most sophisticated building in Laurin. After gold was discovered in nearby Alder Gulch in 1863 and a rush of fortune seekers flooded the area, this small community of Laurin, which has a population of less than 50 people, quickly became established as an important trading post for the entire Ruby Valley mining region. The original canvas tent trading post, later replaced by a log structure, which also served as the general mercantile store, was opened and operated by Jean- Baptiste Laurin, the founder of the town. In the mid-1860s, over 10,000 miners descended upon the area, but within five years most mines were no longer economically viable and towns in the valley were abandoned in favor of new strikes. As a result of his enterprising business endeavors during the mining boom, Jean Laurin became one of the wealthiest citizens in Laurin and, according to early newspaper accounts, shared his wealth in order to promote the success of the town. In 1897, after Laurin and his wife had died, $8,000 was donated in her name toward the construction of a new Catholic church in Laurin for an expanding parish.</p><br>
<p>St. Mary of the Assumption Church is the second Catholic church to be built in Laurin. Since its dedication in 1901, St. Marys has been used in conjunction with the original 1875 frame church that stands adjacent to the property and is currently used as the parish hall. St. Marys is the most substantial and well-crafted building in Laurin and is a major visual component of this community&#39;s identity. Typically church buildings in small, rural towns throughout Montana during the late 19th century were built of wood frame and sheathed with white clapboard siding. Following a basic one room plan, these gable-roofed buildings invariably had a rectangular shape with a square bell tower placed atop the roof. More substantial brick or stone churches were usually found in larger communities where bigger parishes called for, and could support the construction of these structures. In Laurin, which in the later 1800s likely had a population of at least several hundred people, the need for a larger and more expansive church became clear when the parish outgrew the earlier 1875 frame building.</p><br>
<h2>Architectural features</h2><br>
<p>Built along a modified cruciform ecclesiastical Gothic plan, the sandstone church rests on an un-coursed granite foundation, and has to the right side of the main entrance a shouldered, three story, single bell tower with an octagonal roof. Decorative wooden fascia board encircles the church at the eaves. Windows along the nave, apse and on the tower are stained glass, produced in Minneapolis by the Forman Ford Company, and have Gothic stone arches with solid sandstone sills. Windows in the chancel and ambulatory are 1/1 double hung sash with stone lintels and sills. All window frames are original. Between 1956 and 1959, new concrete steps were constructed in both the front and rear of the building. From 1977 to 1981, deteriorating mortar in the foundation and walls was replaced, and the stained glass windows were covered on the exterior with Lexan. Solid oak doors in the front of the church were finished in 1983. The gable roof, which is covered with the original fish-scale patterned metal shingles, has four matching gable dormers on each side with single pane lancet windows. A cement-covered chimney pierces the roof at the rear of the building. The interior of the church remains essentially the same as when originally constructed in 1899. The vaulted ceiling has attractive, ornamental oak wood trusses, while oak wains coting, pews and furnishings still adorn the nave of the church. There is a hand-crafted oak reredos behind the altar which extends for the full height from the floor to the ceiling. Between 1956 and 1959, the semi-circular shaped chancel was extended five feet into the nave, and the church lights were replaced with contemporary spotlights. In 1984, the chancel was expanded into a circular shape and the interior was carpeted. The original wood frame Catholic church and rectory, built in1875 are located adjacent to St. Mary of the Assumption church.</p><br>
<p>Charlotte Fire Station No. 4 is a historic fire station located at Charlotte, Mecklenburg County, North Carolina. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2016.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In 1926, the fire station was designed by American architect Charles Christian Hook and built by J. A. Gardner. It occupies 0.228-acre lot near the northeast corner of the intersection of North Graham Street and West Fifth Street in downtown Charlotte, North Carolina. The station continued in its original use until 1972. It was replaced by a new fire station at 525 North Church Street.</p><br>
<p>The Earl School, near Earl, Colorado in Las Animas County, Colorado, was built in 1909. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2013.</p><br>
<p>It was built by Peter Finn, Sr. The listing included two contributing buildings on approximately 1 acre.</p><br>
<p>The school&#39;s listing was consistent with standards set in a 1999 study, the "Rural School Buildings in Colorado Multiple Property Submission". The school and its site were deemed significant for its association with schooling in the area, for its architecture/engineering, and for potential for information to be discovered in the future, as might be discovered in an archeological dig at the site.</p><br>
<p>It served students for 37 years. Significantly, "African American students from a nearby African American farming colony and Hispanic students attended the school along with some Euro-American students."</p><br>
<p>The location of the school was not disclosed by the National Register when it was listed in 2013; it is recorded as "Address restricted" in the National Register Information System, as is generally done for archeological sites. The site, however, is described with photos by History Colorado online, including in 2017. It is visible off USA Route 350, at non-signed "Earl", between Model, Colorado to the north and the Trinidad Correctional Facility to the south.</p><br>
<p>The Sabbathday House, also known as the Daniel Bowen House is a historic house at 19 Union Street in Guilford, Connecticut. Built about 1735, it is one two surviving houses in the town built for the purpose of sheltering church-going families between morning and afternoon services. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Sabbathday House is located in a residential setting a short way northeast of Guilford&#39;s town green, on the south side of Union Street between State Street and Market Place. Set close to the street, it is a -story wood-frame structure, finished in wooden clapboards and covered by a roof that is gambreled in the front and a shed roof in the rear. The front facade is relatively plain, with a pair of sash windows irregularly placed. The main entrance is on the right side, framed by simple moulding with a cornice above. A brick chimney rises at the peak of the roof on the left side, with a second chimney on the right side, set further back. An ell extends to the rear.</p><br>
<p>In colonial Guilford as in other communities, churchgoers attended both morning and afternoon services on Sundays. Families that traveled long distances to attend needed a place to rest in between these services. The town allocated several parcels in near the church for this purpose, and as many as thirty small houses were built for this purpose. This one was probably built in 1735 by Daniel Bowen, and is one of two Sabbathday houses to survive in the town.</p><br>
<p>The Sanford Road Historic District encompasses a small cluster of late 18th and early 19th-century farmsteads on Sanford Road in Southbury, Connecticut. The two farmhouses on the property are both associated with the locally prominent Stiles family, and typify Southbury&#39;s rural architecture of the period. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1993.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Sanford Road runs between Jeremy Swamp Road and Jacob Road in a rural part of southeastern Southbury. The historic district encompasses 11.2 acre of land on both sides of the road between Jeremy Swamp Road and Jeremy Brook. Its principal features are two farmhouses, one on each side of the road. To the north stands the house of Ephraim Stiles, built in 1786. It is a 1-1/2 story Cape style house, with a gabled roof, central chimney, and clapboarded exterior. Its main facade is simply trimmed with pairs of sash windows on either side of the center entrance. The interior follows a plan typical for rural Southbury houses, with a staircase behind the chimney providing access to the upper level. Across the street stands the Benjamin Osborne House, built in the early 19th century for Stiles&#39; son-in-law and daughter. It is a four-bay Cape, with its off-center entrance sheltered by a Colonial Revival hip-roofed portico. Also surviving on this property are several early 20th-century farm outbuildings.</p><br>
<p>Land in this area was acquired about 1750 by Benjamin Stiles, grandfather to Ephraim. Benjamin was one of the first lawyers to come to the area (then part of Woodbury). Benjamin Osborne, who married two of Ephraim Stiles&#39; daughters, was also prominent in local affairs, serving in the state legislature. Both properties were sold out of the Stiles and Osborne families before 1850.</p><br>
<p>The Old Trail School, at 421 High St. in Wiggins, Colorado, is a historic one-room schoolhouse which was built around 1912. It has also been known as the Reed School, presumably because it was located on the Reed family homestead. It was moved in 1917 to a site close to the Fort Morgan cut-off of the Overland Trail. It served as a school from c.1912 to 1946, when schools were consolidated. It was then moved to Wiggins to stand next to the continuing school there, and it was used as a music room. After the continuing school was expanded in 1963, it was no longer needed for that purpose. The Wiggins Historical Group took ownership in 1964 and moved it to its current location. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004.</p><br>
<p>In 2003 it was still owned by the Wiggins Historical Group, whose President and members wrote the National Register nomination, finding that it met standards set in a 1999 study, the "Rural School Buildings in Colorado Multiple Property Submission".</p><br>
<p>The Knearl School, at 314 S. Clayton St. in Brush, Colorado, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1997.</p><br>
<p>The school served about 100 students each year, usually in just grades 1 to 3, in years before 1964, when students had dropped to around 30 in total. It largely served the sugar beet farming workforce, which grew rapidly to staff a new facility in Brush opened by the Great Western Sugar Company.</p><br>
<p>It was named for William Knearl, a business leader and president of the school board, who donated the land for the school.</p><br>
<p>It is the first stop in a walking tour of Brush&#39;s historic sites, whose brochure notes that it became the Brush Area Museum and Cultural Center in 2005.</p><br>

<p>The Fort Morgan City Hall, at 110 Main St. in Fort Morgan, Colorado, was built in 1908. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1995.</p><br>
<p>It was designed in Classical Revival style by Denver architects Marean and Norton and constructed by local builder C.J. Smith. It was very well built and has served the city well for more than a century.</p><br>
<p>It was used for community events and by community organizations, including:</p><br>
<p>For a period of eight years, a library was hosted on the second floor, with a collection of 900 books from the Ladies Library Association. Fort Morgan&#39;s first librarian was hired by the city to open it afternoons and evenings. The library then moved to a new Carnegie Library, in City Park, which was completed in 1916.</p><br>
<p>The Fort Morgan band would practice there on Wednesday evenings, then perform a summertime series of 20 concerts in the Assembly Room.</p><br>
<p>It was deemed significant for National Register listing forassociation with events that made an important contribution to the development of Fort Morgan. With its monumental proportions and dignified details, this striking example of the Classical Revival style at the head of Main Street represents the beginning of Fort Morgans municipal history. The City Hall building symbolizes the growth, prosperity and maturity of the Fort Morgan community. The buildings construction coincides with the beginnings of political patronage as the city leaders established an infrastructure of public service and public works. The building became the focal point in the civic development of Fort Morgan and served as a center of municipal government and community life for 72 years. The prominent location at the southern entrance to the central business district and across from the Burlington Railroad depot, the primary railroad exchange, contributes to the historical importance of the site."</p><br>
<p>It was deemed significant alsofor its association with George G. Cox, the one man most responsible for planning, establishing, and operating the growing range of city services and public amenities hi Fort Morgan during the first four decades of the twentieth century. Cox served as the city&#39;s first, most influential, and most productive superintendent. The design of the City Hall reflects his innovative yet pragmatic approach to municipal services. The building housed his own office as well as the city departments he so ably supervised.</p><br>
<p>Fort Morgan&#39;s City Council has its chambers upstairs.</p><br>
<p>T. Austin and Ernestine L. Finch House is a historic house located in Thomasville, North Carolina. Built-in 1921, it is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The 6,570-sq.ft house was erected as per Renaissance Revival architecture style in 1921 on a lot that Ernestine Lambeth Finch received as a wedding gift from her parents John Walter and Daisy Sumner Lambeth, who then resided in the home on the adjacent parcel to the east. It was later enlarged in 1938. The structure consists of "stuccoed walls, green Ludowici-Celadon tile hip roof, deep eaves supported by shaped rafter ends, wood casement and double-hung multipane windows and French doors".</p><br>
<p>As of 2021, the house is privately owned and its premises are offered as a destination wedding venue.</p><br>
<p>The James Alexis Darling House is a historic house at 1932 Litchfield Turnpike  in Woodbridge, Connecticut. Built in 1842 for a grandson of Thomas Darling , it is a good example of a rural Greek Revival farmhouse. Although built with the latest exterior styling, its construction style harkens back to 18th-century building practices. James Alexis Darling worked in the family mercantile business and moved to Woodbridge to oversee his grandfather&#39;s farm.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2020.</p><br>
<p>The Sanford-Humphreys House is a historic house at 61-63 West Street in Seymour, Connecticut. The house has a construction history dating to the 1790s, and is associated with two prominent figures in Seymours history: Samuel Sanford, the areas first doctor, and General David Humphreys, a soldier, diplomat, and businessman who developed the first textile mills in the area. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Sanford-Humphreys House stands in a residential area west of the Naugatuck River at the northwest corner of West and Church Streets. It is a -story wood-frame structure, with a gabled roof and clapboarded exterior. Its main facade is five bays wide, with a single-story porch extending across its full width, supported by round Doric columns and topped by a low balustrade with urn-topped columns. Ground floor windows are tall, reaching nearly to the floor in the Greek Revival style, and the center entrance is framed by sidelight and transom windows. Fluted pilasters rise at the corners to a decorative entablature and cornice. The building&#39;s construction shows evidence of multiple phases of work.</p><br>
<p>The first documented owner of the property is Doctor Samuel Sanford, who moved here in 1790, when the area was part of Derby, and served as the first physician to the local population. He is credited with the construction of part of the rear ell of the building, which exhibits 18th-century construction methods. The main block of the house was built for General David Humphreys, who purchased the house from Sanfords estate in 1803. The Greek Revival styling appears to have been a later addition, although sources disagree on who the owner was. Humphreys apparently did not live here, perhaps using it as a base for his industrial interests. In 1803 he also purchased the local dam, and soon afterward built one of the nations first woolen mills. At the time of Humphreys&#39; death in</p><br>
<p>1818, the house was occupied by his nephew John, who was overseeing the mill (Humphreys had no children, and his nephew inherited the works and the house).</p><br>
<p>The Sheffield Street Bridge is a historic lenticular truss bridge spanning Hancock Brook in Waterbury, Connecticut, United States. Built in 1884, it is a rare example of a wrought iron bridge built by the Berlin Iron Bridge Co., and one of the few surviving lenticular truss bridges left in the state. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2001.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Sheffield Street Bridge is located in remote setting in northern Waterbury, off the end of Sheffield Street near a stone quarry. It spans Hancock Brook about 20 ft above the water, and is mounted on stone abutments. It is 56 ft long and 18 ft, and would normally carry two lanes</p><br>
<p>of traffic, if its wooden deck was still usable. Its trusses are fashioned out of four-panel lenticular trusses, supported by posts on the abutments.</p><br>
<p>The bridge was built in 1884, when this area had a much more substantial industrial presence. It was built by the Berlin Iron Bridge Company, one of the largest makers of steel and iron bridges in New England in the late 19th century. The bridge was deliberately built for heavy-duty use, to serve the industries in the area. Its design is typical of the company&#39;s early works, with wrought iron elements of the truss joined by pins instead of rivets. At the time of its listing on the National Register in 2001, it was one of only seventeen surviving lenticular truss bridges in the state, and one of the few that predates a period when their construction became more standardized.</p><br>
<p>Southern Railway Freight Station is a historic railway station located at Morganton, North Carolina. Built-in 1929, it is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In 1929, the one-story 4,750-sq.ft Southern Railway Freight Station was completed. It is the third freight station for Morganton, located to the east of the passenger depot, on the north side of the railroad track. The station catered textile and furniture industries located in the Piedmont Triad.</p><br>
<p>After the development of highways and private automobiles throughout the 20th-century, the use of the freight station diminished. Till 1970, the Freight Station&#39;s building was in use as a warehouse for Morganton Hardware. And by 1994, it was in used as a furniture warehouse.</p><br>
<p>The Jaffa Opera House, at 100–116 W. Main St. in Trinidad, Colorado, was built in 1883. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972.</p><br>
<p>It is Italianate, in fact High Victorian Italianate, in style.</p><br>
<p>When listed in 1972, the main commercial space had been Hausman Drug Store for many years. Photo in 2012 and Google Streetview dated May 2018 show it apparently vacant. It was damaged in an earthquake measured at 3.5 on the Richter magnitude scale, and some experts recommended its demolition in 2011, but a community coalesced in opposition to that. A renovation project scheduled to be completed in 2019 was planned.</p><br>
<p>It is included as a contributing building in the Corazon de Trinidad historic district, National Register-listed in 1973.</p><br>
<p>Lincoln Heights School was a historic six-teacher Rosenwald School. Built-in 1924, the buildings of the school are now listed with National Register of Historic Places for its significance in education of African American children across Wilkes County, North Carolina.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The school was constructed in 1924, but the facility was expanded to a 14-classroom structure between 1926 and 1950. The H-shaped building is located at the end of Lincoln Heights School Road, off what now is Old USA 421, in Wilkesboro. The additional buildings includes an agricultural shop combined with a cafeteria, a high school building, and a gymnasium - all were constructed between 1956 and 1963. In 1968, with the integration of Wilkes County schools, Lincoln Heights was closed down.</p><br>
<p>Lincoln Heights was funded by Rosenwald Fund, established in 1917 by Julius Rosenwald.</p><br>
<p>The Corazon de Trinidad is a historic district in Trinidad, Colorado which was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.</p><br>
<p>The district is a 132 acre area roughly bounded by the Purgatoire River on the north and west, Walnut St. on the east, and 3rd, W. 1st and Animas Sts. on the south.</p><br>
<p>It includes approximately 50 contributing buildings including some or all of:</p><br>
<p>Columbian Hotel (1880), hotel of about 100 rooms, opened as the "Grand Union Hotel" and renamed in the mid-1890s. Designed, built, owned by John Conkie.</p><br>
<p>Jaffa Opera House (1883), separately NRHP-listed</p><br>
<p>Toltec Hotel (1911), 100 block of N. Commercial, construction supervised by F.E. Edbrooke Architectural Company</p><br>
<p>Donnelly Building (1900)</p><br>
<p>First National Bank Building (1892), Richardsonian Romanesque, the tallest building in the downtown area</p><br>
<p>Main Hotel (1900), built of brick and Trinidad Sandstone</p><br>
<p>Colorado Building, 132 E. Main St., also known as Masonic Temple</p><br>
<p>A detailed survey of buildings, in text and historic plus then-current photos, appears in the 1970 manuscript "The Historic Buildings of Central Trinidad", by Willard C. Louden, which concludes with an essay by Langdon Morris calling for appropriate historic preservation.</p><br>
<p>The National Register listing in effect endorses the general assertions of historic association and significance of the central Trinidad buildings in the 1970 manuscript, as the "significance" section of the nomination simply states "see the attached".</p><br>
<p>Some buildings documented in the manuscript may not actually be included in the approved historic district. Maps defining the district and identifying condition of structures in 1970, approval documents, and correspondence between Trinidad and National Park Service officials, are included in National Archives and Records Administration-preserved documentation for the listing. It was noted that the original submission included deficiency with respect to mapping but there was urgency with respect to some possible funding, and the National Registers Keeper of the Register William J. Murtagh signed off with note "This looks like a decent district although I dont quite understand why they&#39;ve marked certain buildings outside the district as of prime importance."</p><br>
<p>The name of the district, meaning "The Heart of Trinidad", was determined by a competition.</p><br>
<p>The Meyers Farmstead Historic District, also known as the Jacob E. and Amanda Meyers Farm and the John B. and Ella Meyers Farm, is an agricultural historic district located in Lisbon, Iowa, United States. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2021. At the time of its nomination it consisted of six resources, which included two contributing buildings, two contributing structures, and two contributing objects. The historic buildings include a heavy timber frame Pennsylvania banked barn  and a feeder/hay barn . The historic structures include a combination corn crib/hog house  and a concrete silo . The contributing objects include a concrete watering trough and water pump and a metal gateway. The farmhouse is also extant but was separated from the rest of the farm buildings when South Jefferson Street was extended in 2002. That separation and the modifications made to it over the years has led to its loss of historical integrity</p><br>
<p>Henry and Pricilla Meyers moved from Lebanon, Pennsylvania to Ohio, and then on to Lisbon in 1853. Their son Jacob, who was a brick mason, started farming the land adjacent to their home. The farm was incorporated into the city limits in 1877. The farm was owned by members of the Mayers family until 1983. Its significance is attributed to its association with agricultural trends in livestock and dairy farming in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The creameries in Lisbon likely led to the expansion and modernization of the dairy operation. The hog and cattle operation tied this farmstead to the nearby railroad shipping depot. The buildings and structures are also a result of a 1908 tornado that damaged them or were replacements for those that were destroyed.</p><br>
<p>The Shelley House is a historic house at 248 Boston Post Road  in Madison, Connecticut. Probably built in the late 17th century and enlarged in the 18th century, this house&#39;s architecture clearly exhibits a typical growth pattern of colonial-era houses from a one-room stone ender to a saltbox house. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Shelley House stands in what is now a mixed residential-commercial area in western Madison, on the south side of Boston Post Road east of Stonewall Lane. It is a -story timber-frame structure, covered with a gabled roof and finished with wooden clapboards. A large stone chimney rises at the center of the building. The second story hangs over the first in a common colonial-era configuration. The main facade is three bays wide, with a center entrance framed by symmetrically placed sash windows. The window above the door is slightly longer than the others. The rear roof face slopes down to the top of the first floor, with a small ell extending further to the rear.</p><br>
<p>The interior follows a typical center-chimney plan, with the entry vestibule also housing a narrow dogleg staircase to the second floor. There are chambers to either side of the chimney, and the rear lean-to houses three rooms: a large central room originally used as a kitchen, and two smaller rooms in the corners. The modern kitchen is housed in the ell.</p><br>
<p>The exact construction date is not known, and nothing is known about its original owners beyond the name Shelley, and fragmentary evidence suggesting they may have been employed as funerary stone cutters. Connecticut architectural historian J. Frederick Kelly ascribed the date of the oldest portion of the house, the east room, to the late 17th century. Architectural evidence suggests that this room and the main chimney were built first, giving the house a classic stone ender design, which was later expanded in the early 18th century with the addition of the rooms to the left of the chimney, and then by the lean-to in the mid-18th century. This architectural evolution, while quite common, is rarely documented as clearly in the architecture as it is in this house.</p><br>
<p>The Cactus Hotel, previously known as the Hilton Hotel, is a historic hotel in downtown San Angelo, Texas. The hotel was built in 1929 and added to the National Register of Historic Places on September 20, 1984.</p><br>
<h2>Site</h2><br>
<p>The hotel stands at 36 E. Twohig, on the northwest corner of Twohig and Oakes, in downtown San Angelo, Texas.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In 1919, entrepreneur Conrad Hilton established a hotel chain that he began rapidly expanding across Texas in the 1920s. He constructed the Dallas Hilton in 1924–25, then identified several West Texas cities, including San Angelo, in which to open hotels. The construction of the Dallas Hilton had exceeded Hilton&#39;s budget, however, and he sought partnerships to limit future expenses in the construction of future hotels.</p><br>
<p>On March 5, 1928, the West Texas Lumber Company (WTLC) accounted that it had signed a 15-year lease with Hilton to build a hotel on the site of its offices. The WTLC began to move out of its offices to a new location in San Angelo, and delayed the start of construction of the San Angelo Hilton until the completion of their new office. Dallas-based architect Anton F. Korn was selected to design the hotel; his plans were made public on April 22, 1928. A test pit was dug at the site on April 5, to ascertain the quality of the hotel&#39;s future foundations. The construction and furnishing of the San Angelo Hilton was expected to cost $750,000.</p><br>
<p>To construct the hotel, Belvedere B. Hail, the president of the WTLC, formed the B. B. Hail Building Corporation (B. B. Hail) on June 19, 1928. The WTLC announced on June 5 that bids for contracts would open on June 20, for which contractors from six states began arriving by June 6. B. B. Hail received its charter on June 20 and began to hear bids. Robert E. McKee was awarded the general construction contract, the A. T. Cheaney Plumbing and Heating Company was awarded the contract for plumbing, heating, and ventilation, the Sun Electric Company was contracted to supply the hotels wiring, and the Otis Elevator Company would supply its elevators. Theodore Montgomery was awarded the contract to demolish the WTLCs offices and began work on the site on July 6.</p><br>
<p>Excavations for the basement of the hotel began on July 23, 1928, and was largely completed by August 30. The excavation produced 8,000 yd3 of spoil that was disposed of by creating an athletic field at a nearby campground. After bedrock was reached digging continued with explosives, which resulted in rocks striking the O. C. Fisher Federal Building across the street. Construction had begun by September 16, when the San Angelo Standard-Times reported that the concrete pours for the hotel&#39;s first floor were almost complete. Pours for the uppermost portions of the hotel began on January 1, 1929, as did the erection of a steel frame for the roof and bricklaying, both completed on February 3. Interior work was mostly completed by April 14.</p><br>
<h3>San Angelo Hilton</h3><br>
<p>The San Angelo Hilton had its grand opening on May 31, 1929. The day started with tours of the hotel from 11:30 AM to 5:30 PM (CST) and concluded that night with a ball, and a wedding hosted within the hotel, which were broadcast on the radio station KGKL. Guests included Hilton, Hail, Houston Harte, the owner of the San Angelo Standard-Times, and W. H. Holcombe, the mayor of San Angelo. To manage the San Angelo Hilton, Hilton had first selected the manager of the Dallas Hilton, A. H. Hilton, who died of influenza on April 28, 1929, before he could assume the office. In his place, Hilton selected Sidney Abbott, the manager of the Waco Hilton. Much of the administrative staff were brought to the San Angelo from other Hilton hotels, while locals were hired for service positions; African-Americans were only hired for positions Abbott described as "heavy work".</p><br>
<h3>Preservation</h3><br>
<p>The Cactus Hotel was nominated for inclusion on the National Register of Historic Places on April 5, 1984, and surveyed by the Texas Historical Commission that August. The Keeper of the Register accepted the nomination and added the hotel to the National Register on September 20, 1984.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The Cactus Hotel contains 14 stories, with a mezzanine above the first floor, and stands 165 ft tall. The exterior of the building is composed of a classical base, column, and capital, with an attached northern wing that simultaneously provides a ballroom and isolates the guest rooms from other buildings on the block.</p><br>
<p>The basement, first floor, and mezzanine together have a floor space of 16,875 ft2 and the other floors altogether have a floor space of about 6,250 ft2.</p><br>
<p>The building was designed in the Italian Renaissance style by Anton F. Korn, who had also designed the Tom Green County Courthouse and the San Angelo National Bank Building. Its skyscraper-like appearance was typical of hotels constructed in Texas in the first decades of the 20th century.</p><br>
<h3>Reception</h3><br>
<p>In Architecture in Texas: 1895-1945, historian Jay C. Henry called the composition of the Cactus Hotel&#39;s exterior "rather weak and unconvincing."</p><br>
<p>The Manchester Street Bridge is a camelback steel truss bridge in Baraboo, Wisconsin in Sauk County. The bridge was constructed in 1884 by the Milwaukee Bridge & Iron Works to carry Manchester Street over the Baraboo River. It replaced an earlier bridge that was lost to a flood; the first bridge was likely built after 1877 based on maps from the period. The bridge is 128 ft long and 14 ft wide. It is one of two camelback truss bridges remaining in Wisconsin and the only one from the 19th century. In 1987 it was moved to Ochsner Park where it was placed on new abutments while still spanning the Baraboo River as pedestrian bridge.</p><br>
<p>The bridge was added to the National Register of Historic Places on October 13, 1988.</p><br>
<p>The Kendall Cabinet Shop, which later became the Waubeka Pearl Button Factory, is a former factory on the Milwaukee River in the Waubeka community in the Town of Fredonia, Wisconsin. Built in 1863 by cabinetmaker John Kendall, the shop was one of the first industrial enterprises in Waubeka. Until the 1860s, the communitys economy was largely agricultural and centered around the local gristmill, and the construction of manufacturing shops such as Kendalls marked a movement toward local industrialization. The community was home seven small manufacturing shops in the 1870s and 1880s, but the diversification of Waubeka&#39;s economy ultimately prove short-lived and lost momentum around the turn of the 20th century.</p><br>
<p>The shop shared a dam on the river with the shop the neighboring Schauble Flour Mill, and in 1892, the mills owners purchased the shop and converted it to produce then-fashionable pearl buttons from the shells of freshwater mussels found in the rivers of the upper Midwest. At its height, the Waubeka Pearl Button Factory employed twenty workers, making it the communitys largest business. However, the company closed sometime around 1908.</p><br>
<p>The dam was purposefully breached in 2001 and fully removed in 2003, although the mill race remains, and the structure was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on November 29, 2016.</p><br>
<p>The San Angelo National Bank Building, at 201 S. Chadbourne St. in San Angelo, Texas, was built in 1927. It has also been known as the Trimble-Batier-Cobb Insurance building. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
<p>It was designed by architect Anton F. Korn and is Classical Revival in style.</p><br>
<p>It was deemed significant as "one of the most substantial and least-altered buildings in Classical Revival style in West Texas. Over fifty years after its construction, this concrete and masonry structure of eight stories still figures prominently in the San Angelo skyline. The Classical Revival style can be seen on the exterior in the mixture of smooth stones and facing bricks, in the large paired windows spaced to suggest a series of pilasters, and in the cut-stone cornices and perimeter bands. The interior lobby is beautifully decorated with Corinthian columns and Classical Revival detailing."</p><br>
<p>The Bridge over Burro Cañon, near Madrid, Colorado, was built in 1936. It carries Colorado State Highway 12, a main route linking La Veta with Trinidad, over an arroyo. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.</p><br>
<p>It was one of about 30 Works Progress Administration-funded bridges built in southeast Colorado, and one of three in Las Animas County, in the late 1930s; it is the only WPA-funded bridge in Colorado that has a skewed configuration, crossing the arroyo at an angle.</p><br>
<p>Its archways are lined with "multiplates" fabricated by the Hardesty Manufacturing Company, a cement and concrete products company still existing in 2021, located in Tulsa, Oklahoma.</p><br>
<p>It is a triple-arch masonry bridge 67.67 ft long, 30 ft wide, with a 17.1 ft central arch and two 16.1 ft side arches. The arches are semi-circular, have tapered voussoirs, and are lined with multiplates. The two piers formed between the arches are beveled. It has stone parapet walls, abutments, and stepped wingwalls.</p><br>
<p>It was documented for the Historic American Engineering Record HAER by the Colorado Department of Highways in 1983.</p><br>
<p>It "features rusticated stone facing and grapevined mortar joints, trademarks of Works Progress Administration workmanship in southeastern Colorado."</p><br>
<p>The J. B. Blakeney House, at 438 W. Twohig in San Angelo, Texas, is a house designed by architects Anton Korn and B. M. Morgan which was built in 1929. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.</p><br>
<p>It is a two-story house, with a five-bay main section having a dominant Spanish tile roof, with one-story Roman arcades at each side. It was constructed by builder H.L. McBride.</p><br>
<p>It is an "attractive" house, eclectic in design, with Italian Renaissance influences.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register as part of the San Angelo Multiple Resources study.</p><br>
<p>It was accepted as a "significant example of eclectic and Italian Renaissance design styles". Architect Anton Korn is also known for his design of the Tom Green County Courthouse, also in San Angelo and included in the same study.</p><br>
<p>In 1988, it was reported to be in use as a funeral home. 2019 imagery suggests it is a private residence again, while the property behind it, across an alley, is in fact a funeral home.</p><br>
<p>The Jared L. Brush Barn, in rural Weld County, Colorado near Johnstown, Colorado, was built c.1865. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991.</p><br>
<p>It is a vernacular wood frame barn erected to store hay and grains by homesteader Jared Lamar Brush.</p><br>
<p>It is located at 24308 County Road 17, about 300 yd west of the Big Thompson River, and about 1 mi northeast of the community of Johnstown.</p><br>
<p>The Daniels School, in Milliken in Weld County, Colorado, was built in 1911. It is a two-room schoolhouse, with a partition that allowed separation of grades 1–4 vs. grades 5–8, which operated from 1911 to 1959. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2005.</p><br>
<p>It was built on a plot of land donated to the school district by James Daniels in 1879. A wood-frame schoolhouse was built first; it was sold and moved off the property to enable replacement by the present brick building in 1911. James Daniels served as director of the school for many years. The school was named, however, for his brother, Henry Daniels, who was a pioneer in the Big Thompson Valley area before Johnstown and Milliken existed.</p><br>
<p>It is Classical Revival in style, built of brick, and has a pedimented porch spanning the front, with four Tuscan columns. It is about 30x57 ft in plan, including the porch. The school was built in 1911 by carpenters H.W. Richmond and C.J. Mathers, who weren&#39;t able to complete it until after the fall school term had started.</p><br>
<p>During World War II, the school was used for ration book distribution, and students set a goal for selling stamps and bonds to raise $900 to fund a jeep, as part of the USA Treasury Schools at War program. During and after the years of its operation as a school, it was used for Boy Scout meetings and other community purposes.</p><br>
<p>The school closed in 1959. Per terms that ownership would revert to the original owner or descendant, Harold Daniels, a grandson of Henry Daniels, became property owner. Harold had attended grades one through eight at the Daniels School, during 1933 to 1940. Until the mid-1970s it was still used for Boy Scouts, and has since been used for storage.</p><br>
<p>The listing included two other contributing buildings: a wood-frame teacherage and a privy, and it included a metal swingset frame built at time of the school&#39;s construction, in 1911. The privy is a wood-frame two-seat structure which was built by the Works Progress Administration in the 1930s, and replaced two original brick privies.</p><br>
<p>The school is located on Colorado State Highway 60 near its intersection with Weld County Road 25.</p><br>
<p>The Detroit Savings Bank Southwest Branch is a former branch bank building located at 5705 West Fort Street in Detroit, Michigan. The building is significant as one of the works of Wirt C. Rowland, then working at the firm established by Albert Kahn. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2021.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Detroit Savings Bank was established in 1849 as the Detroit Savings Fund Institute. The institution grew over the years, and by the 20th century was among the largest banks in Detroit. After the Delray neighborhood was annexed to Detroit and the area began attracting more population, Detroit Savings Bank looked to establish a branch in the neighborhood. In 1913, they purchased a plot of land for a location, but WWI intervened before construction could start. The company eventually hired Albert Kahn&#39;s firm to design a building. Construction on the building began in 1919, and it opened in 1920.</p><br>
<p>Detroit Savings Bank weathered the Great Depression and continued to use the bank building. However, by the 1950s, the Delray neighborhood was losing employment and the population was declining. The branch bank was closed in the 1980s. As of 2014, the building was owned by the nonprofit Community Health and Social Services (CHASS) Center.</p><br>

<p>The Main Street Bridge, historically known as the Califon Bridge, is a Pratt thru truss bridge that carries Main Street  over the South Branch Raritan River in Califon, Hunterdon County, New Jersey. The bridge was added to the National Register of Historic Places on October 14, 1976, as part of the Califon Historic District.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The iron truss bridge was constructed in 1887 by I. P. Bartley & Co. of Mount Olive Township in Morris County. In 1985, the bridge was rehabilitated and widened by converting to a stringer bridge design using steel beams, while maintaining the historic original trusses. It is now 100 feet long and 24 feet wide.</p><br>
<p>The Turtle Bay Gardens Historic District is a collection of twenty rowhouses in the Turtle Bay neighborhood of Manhattan in New York City. They consist of eleven houses on the south side of 49th Street and nine on the north side of 48th Street, between Second and Third Avenues. The rowhouses, dating from the 1860s, were renovated between 1918 and 1920 by Charlotte Hunnewell Sorchan to plans by Clarence Dean.</p><br>
<p>The New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission designated the Turtle Bay Gardens Historic District in 1966, and it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<h2>Design</h2><br>
<p>The 20 rowhouses, dating from the 1860s, were purchased in 1918 by Charlotte Hunnewell Sorchan (who remarried in 1921 to Dr. Walton Martin). Her own Hunnewell Mansion was one of the 20 properties. She renovated them between 1918 and 1920 to plans by Clarence Dean. Dean refaced the brownstone street-fronts with pale stucco.</p><br>
<p>None of the houses are exactly alike, but the street facades are generally four stories high, and some houses have rear attics. The stoops in front of each house were removed; the basements were converted into English basements, slightly below ground level, with rusticated facades. On the street facades, Dean used decorative elements such as balconies made of cast iron, cartouches, parapets, pilasters, quoins, roundels, and stucco detailing. Inside each house, Dean rearranged the interiors so that service room, such as dining rooms faced the noisy street and living areas faced inward.</p><br>
<p>The rear facades are more plainly decorated, and many of the structures contain roof terraces. The rowhouses secluded character was emphasized by the presence of tall apartments to the east, along Second Avenue, and office buildings to the west, along Third Avenue. There are loggias on many of the houses rear facades.</p><br>
<p>The individual backyards are arranged so that each opens into a common garden of trees and shrubs down the center. Strips of land measuring 6 ft wide were taken from the rear boundary of each backyard to create the common garden. The shared space is separated from each individual backyard by short walls made of masonry. Running through the center of the garden is a walkway paved in flagstone. There is also a fountain, designed in the style of another at the Villa Medici, which is surrounded by iron benches and shaded by a willow tree.</p><br>
<h2>Residents and tenants</h2><br>
<p>Sorchan sold the houses to friends at cost, with property restrictions that kept the commons secure. Later occupants also included composer Stephen Sondheim and actress Mary-Kate Olsen.</p><br>

<p>The Lescaze House is a four-story house at 211 East 48th Street in the East Midtown and Turtle Bay neighborhoods of Manhattan in New York City. It is along the northern sidewalk of 48th Street between Second Avenue and Third Avenue. The Lescaze House at 211 East 48th Street was designed by William Lescaze in the International Style between 1933 and 1934 as a renovation of a 19th-century brownstone townhouse. It is one of three houses in Manhattan designed by Lescaze.</p><br>
<p>The four-story building contains a facade of white-painted stucco blocks and glass block windows. The glass blocks, the first to be used on a building in New York City, were installed to provide insulation and privacy while also allowing illumination. The house was designed to accommodate his office at the bottom and his family&#39;s residence on the upper floors. The Lescaze House was designed with a dining room at the first story, bedrooms on the second story, and a living room on the third story, as well as a basement and first-story annex in the back yard. Lescaze designed much of the furniture for his residence.</p><br>
<p>William Lescaze and his wife Mary moved into the house in June 1934. Their son Lee Lescaze, in his adulthood, also moved his own family into the neighboring rowhouse at 209 East 48th Street. After William Lescazes death in 1969, Mary continued to maintain the property. The New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission designated the Lescaze House as an official landmark in 1976, and the house was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980. The house was sold in 1985 to the William Kaufman Organization, which conducted renovations but largely maintained the houses historic design. In 2020, the house was sold again to Hendale LLC.</p><br>
<h2>Site</h2><br>
<p>The Lescaze House is at 211 East 48th Street in the East Midtown and Turtle Bay neighborhoods of Manhattan in New York City. It is along the northern sidewalk of 48th Street between Second Avenue and Third Avenue. The house has a frontage of 16.58 ft along 48th Street. The land lot has an area of 1,666 ft2 and a depth of 100 ft. Nearby buildings include Turtle Bay Gardens to the east, as well as Amster Yard and the Morris B. Sanders Studio & Apartment to the north.</p><br>
<p>Numerous masonry houses with brick or brownstone facades were developed in Turtle Bay starting in the 1860s. These buildings usually occupied land lots that were at most 20 ft wide and had classically inspired design features such as cornices and porticos. In the early 20th century, some of these houses were renovated with new interiors or exteriors. By then, a large portion of Turtle Bay&#39;s population was involved in the arts or architecture, and structures such as the Beaux-Arts Institute of Design and the residential Turtle Bay Gardens and Beaux-Arts Apartments were constructed for this community.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The Lescaze House was designed by William Lescaze in the International Style between 1933 and 1934. The house is a redesign of an Italianate-style brownstone residence, constructed in 1865 by Elias and Daniel Herbert as part of a row of brownstone residences on the same block. It is among New York Citys few remaining structures designed by architects or artists as their own residences. The house accommodated Lescazes office at the bottom and his family&#39;s residence on the upper floors.</p><br>
<p>The Lescaze House was the first building in the city to use a facade of glass blocks, although Lescaze claimed it was the first such structure in the United States. The house was characterized by later owner Sage Realty as "the first modernist house in New York City". It is one of only three houses designed by Lescaze in Manhattan, all of which share a similar style. The other two are at 124 East 70th Street and 32 East 74th Street, both on the Upper East Side. The design of the Lescaze House inspired businessman Raymond C. Kramer to hire Lescaze to design the 74th Street property in a similar style.</p><br>
<p>The Lescaze House was characterized by Ada Louise Huxtable in 1961 as "still extraordinarily contemporary after more than twenty-five years". Steve Dougherty, writing for The New York Times in 2002, stated that the "house puts the much more recent buildings nearby to shame". Architectural writer Robert A. M. Stern wrote that the use of glass blocks became "not only a trademark of his personal style but also a symbol of high-style Modernism throughout the 1930s".</p><br>
<h3>Facade</h3><br>
<p>The front facade on 48th Street was pulled forward to the building line. Separate entrances were provided for the office, at the English basement slightly below ground level, and the residence, above ground level at the first story. The entrances are grouped under a projecting porch supported by one Lally column. The office itself had a wall of glass blocks that separated it from the street, providing privacy while still letting sunlight in. On the left side of the house, a stoop leads up to the Lescaze family&#39;s main residence on the first floor.</p><br>
<p>The second and third floors of the front facade are nearly identical, with large glass-block windows across almost the full width of each floor. The glass block wall on the third floor lit the living room, but had no movable windows, as the top floor had air conditioning. The guest room at the front of the second floor had no air conditioning, so the glass block walls were fitted with two movable windows. The master bedroom at the rear of the second floor is slightly curved outward in an "S" shape.</p><br>
<p>The glass blocks on the facade were made by the Macbeth-Evans Glass Company. The glass blocks served to reduce heat, provide privacy, and allow light to pass through. According to Architectural Forum, this allowed the facade to be "at night as frankly expressive of the life within as it is by day". The Lescaze House&#39;s glass block exterior inspired the use of the material on nearby structures, such as the Morris Sanders Studios and 212 East 49th Street one block north.</p><br>
<h3>Interior</h3><br>
<p>At the front of the basement office was a reception room that originally contained a counter. The reception room had a plaster ceiling with sound-absorbing tiles. Below the basement, there is a cellar that had storage and a mechanical room.</p><br>
<p>On the first floor is an eat-in kitchen at the front of the residence, as well as an office (formerly a dining room) at the rear. The living room has a fireplace with refractory bricks. In Lescaze&#39;s original design, a narrow staircase with a wooden railing connected all of the stories. In 2021, the elevator was proposed to be extended upward to the fourth floor.</p><br>
<p>The basement and first floor are extended at the houses rear into part of what was originally the garden. The annex stories are slightly raised above the main houses stories. These glass tiles are made of solid blocks for strength. In 2021, the skylights were proposed for cleaning, and the rear yard was proposed to be lowered to the annex&#39;s cellar.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>William Lescaze was born in Onex, Switzerland, near Geneva, in 1896. He received his diploma from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich in 1919 and founded his business in New York City in 1923. Lescaze partnered with George Howe to design structures such as Philadelphia&#39;s PSFS Building, an early International Style skyscraper. Just after buying the 211 East 48th Street brownstone in 1933, Lescaze married Mary Connick Hughes.</p><br>
<h3>Lescaze family ownership</h3><br>
<p>In August 1933, William Lescaze submitted plans to the New York City Department of Buildings for a modification to the 19th-century brownstone at 211 East 48th Street. The four-story brownstone townhouse had been classified as a single-family home, but Lescaze proposed converting the basement to commercial use, retaining the first through third floors as a residence. Lescazes original plans called for central air-conditioning. Due to objections over the proposed zoning of the building, the city government rejected Lescazes initial proposals to modify the house. Lescaze resubmitted his plans for his house in December 1933 and, in an amendment the next month, clarified that the glass-block windows would enable ventilation and air-conditioning equipment to be installed. The glass block tiles were delivered to the house but stayed on the sidewalk until the building department approved the revised plans in February 1934. The Lescaze family moved into the house in June 1934.</p><br>
<p>The design of the Lescaze House inspired similar renovations to other structures in the neighborhood, including four townhouses on 49th Street in the 1930s and 1940s. In Lee Lescazes adulthood, his father renovated the adjacent brownstone at 209 East 48th Street for Lees family. The two houses were connected at their third stories.</p><br>
<p>William Lescaze died of a heart attack at his house in 1969, at the age of seventy-two. Following his death, his wife Mary continued to maintain the house in largely its original condition. Lescaze&#39;s family continued to own the house for sixteen years after his death.</p><br>
<h3>Later ownership</h3><br>
<p>Melvyn and Robert Kaufman, the subsequent owners of the house, were looking for a tenant by 2001. Although the glass blocks used in the windows were no longer being manufactured, the LPC insisted that any replacements be to the same specifications as the original design. According to a spokesman for SageGroupAssociates (later Sage Realty), which leased property on behalf of the Kaufman Organization, a Pennsylvania studio had agreed to make replicas of the glass blocks.</p><br>
<p>In 2018, after renovating the house, Sage Realty placed the building on sale for nearly $5 million. Sage also separately placed the adjacent structures at 209 East 48th Street and 210 East 49th Street for sale. The three buildings were worth almost $15 million combined and were sold separately. 211 East 48th Street was the last of the structures to be sold, when Hendale LLC purchased it for $3.8 million in March 2020. The following January, architecture firm Turett Collaborative submitted renovation plans for the Lescaze House to the LPC. The company proposed repairing the exterior, consolidating mechanical equipment on the roof, and excavating the rear yard.</p><br>

<p>The Island Woolen Company Office Building is an office building located in Baraboo, Wisconsin, United States, along the Baraboo River. The "island" where the building is located is actually a horseshoe bend in the Baraboo River. In 1839–1840 a dam and sawmill was built across the Baraboo River. In 1863 The Island Woolen Mill was constructed on the east side of the bend, with a raceway constructed to deliver water to the mill. The mill operated mostly successfully through the 1800s and by the early 20th century needed more space. The office building was built in 1917 and housed offices for the Island Woolen Company. It was built in the prairie school style by Claude and Starck architects from Madison Wisconsin, McFetridge the owner of the company, who had worked with and consulted with Frank Lloyd Wright, contributed to the design and finish of the building. The mill and office building continued to operate until its closure in 1949. The mill&#39;s dam was removed in 1997.</p><br>
