<p>The Washington Avenue Bridge is a historic lenticular truss bridge carrying Washington Avenue over the Mad River in Waterbury, Connecticut. Built in 1881, it is the oldest known surviving example of a lenticular pony truss bridge built by the Corrugated Metal Company, later known as the Berlin Iron Bridge Company, a prolific bridge maker in New England of the late 19th century. The bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2001.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Washington Avenue Bridge stands in a busy industrial and commercial area south of downtown Waterbury, carrying Washington Avenue over the Mad River just west of South Main Street. The bridge is oriented east-west while the river flows from northeast to southwest, resulting in an offset of the trusses which historically supported its weight. The trusses are lenticular pony trusses fabricated out of wrought iron, with pinned connections and decorative finials atop the posts supporting the truss ends. The trusses are 70 ft long and have a maximum depth of 10 ft. The bridge deck is 24 ft wide, and is about 8 ft above the typical river level. The deck is now supported by steel beams inserted underneath the decking; steel beams also supported the sidewalks set outside the trusses.</p><br>
<p>The bridge was built in 1881 by the Corrugated Metal Company, which was later renamed to its better-known name, the Berlin Iron Bridge Company. This bridge is the earliest known example of the company&#39;s distinctive lenticular trusses, and embodies construction materials and methods (wrought iron and pinned connections in particular) which went completely out of use by the end of the 19th century. By that time, bridge designs had also largely been standardized, and lenticular trusses were no longer normally built. This bridge is also unusual among surviving lenticular truss bridges in its urban setting, and the survival of some of its decorative features, which were rarely placed on bridges in rural settings.</p><br>
<p>The Dickens Opera House, at 302 Main St. in Longmont, Colorado, was built in 1881 and expanded in 1905. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987, and was included as a contributing building in the 2017-designated Downtown Longmont Historic District.</p><br>
<p>It is a two-story brick "19th Century Commercial style" building, prominent in Longmont at the northeast corner of Third Avenue and Main Street.</p><br>
<p>It was built by William Henry Dickens, a relative of author Charles Dickens, who came to the area in 1860.</p><br>
<p>It is significant historically as "Longmont&#39;s social and cultural center and meeting hall for other community events."</p><br>
<p>Originally it held the Farmer&#39;s National Bank on the first floor and its auditorium on the second floor. It was vacant from 1978 to 1986. It now houses a number of restaurants, and cultural events.</p><br>
<p>The Waterbury Clock Company factory is a historic complex of factory buildings in Waterbury, Connecticut. Development began in 1873, with the extensive plant serving as the companys main manufacturing facility and headquarters until 1944. The company is now known as the Timex Group USA, and was for a time one of the worlds largest manufacturers of pocket watches. The surviving elements of the manufacturing complex were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982. The property has since been subdivided and is home to a variety of primarily industrial or commercial uses.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The former Waterbury Clock Company plant is located north of downtown Waterbury, on 6.2 acre roughly bounded by North Elm Street, Cherry Street, and Cherry Avenue, with a portion extending south of Cherry Avenue. The property is bisected in the north–south direction by a now-subterranean stream, which once provided the power for the factory&#39;s operations. There are more than 20 buildings on the property, in varying sizes and configurations. Most are of red brick construction typical of late 19th-century mill construction.</p><br>
<p>The Waterbury Clock Company has its origins in a division of Benedict and Burnham, a leading Waterbury brass manufacturer who branched out into a variety of industries using brass in their manufacturing. The company was incorporated as a separate entity in 1857, and operated out of its parent company facilities until 1873. This site, to which it moved its operations, had previously been the site of one of Waterbury&#39;s earliest sawmills. The company met its greatest success in the 1890s, producing movements for popular dollar watches. Its fortunes declined after the First World War, and it removed from the city in 1944. It was renamed the United States Time Corporation that same year, and is now known as the Timex Group. The Waterbury plant was eventually partitioned and repurposed to other uses, including the demolition of a number of its buildings.</p><br>
<p>The Webster School is a historic former school buildings at Easton Avenue and Aetna Street in Waterbury, Connecticut. Built in 1898 to a design by the noted local architect Wilfred E. Griggs, it is a good example of Classical Revival architecture, and an emblem of the city&#39;s rapid growth at the turn of the 20th century. It was closed in 1977, and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982. The building has been converted into housing.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Waterburys Webster School is located in a residential area north of the citys downtown, on 1.1 acre bounded on the west by Platt Street, the east by Easton Avenue, and the north by a spur of Aetna Street. It is an L-shaped -story masonry structure, built out of red brick with limestone trim. It is Romanesque in style with entrances set in round-topped openings, and windows set in groups in openings topped by segmented arches. An elaborate wooden cornice circles the building.</p><br>
<p>The school was built in 1898, during the height of Waterbury&#39;s growth at the turn of the 20th century. It was enlarged twice, in 1906 and 1917, to meet increased demand. It was designed by local architect Wilfred E. Griggs, best known for his commercial, industrial, and civic work, and the 1917 addition was designed by Louis Walsh, another local architect. The school marked a trend in the city of consolidation of a large number of district schools, and of the introduction of modern school construction techniques that emphasized fireproof construction, natural lighting for classrooms, and integrated heating and sanitation facilities. The school was closed in 1977, and has since been converted into senior housing.</p><br>
<p>The Crawford General Store, on Macon Rd. in Williston, Tennessee, was built around 1850. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.</p><br>
<p>It was deemed significant as "an unusually good example of a vanishing architectural type—the country general store, specializing in items as varied as dress buckles, butter, mousetraps and medicines. Serving as it did as a sort of clearinghouse for community activities, it represents as well a direct source of clues to the social history of the period. The country store was the economic heart of many early communities, and the store at Williston was no exception. The store was opened in about 1850 by R.A. Gaither. About 1890 operation by W.C. Crawford began, and the business was operated by him and his son, Knox Crawford until 1972."</p><br>
<p>It is a "simple, two story structure of clapboard painted white. There is a partial false facade rising from the eastern half of the building&#39;s front wall, adding architectural interest. There is a very basic portico supported by seven wooden columns. A simple, semi-circular fan window is set into the false front, and the eaves are supported by decorative wooden supports (eight pairs)."</p><br>
<p>The Rossville Historic District in Rossville in Fayette County, Tennessee was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2001.</p><br>
<p>The district runs roughly along Main St. (now Church St., per Google maps), Second St., and Front St. in Rossville, and includes Greek Revival, Colonial Revival, Queen Anne, Gothic Revival, and Craftsman architecture, as well as one or more I-houses and a number of one- and two-part commercial buildings.</p><br>
<p>Selected properties include:</p><br>
<p>30 Front St. (c.1910). Two-story four-square.</p><br>
<p>Morrison&#39;s Store / Rossville Grocery Market (c.1938), 60 Front Street. One-story brick commercial building with a stepped parapet with tile coping, which originally was two separate buildings.</p><br>
<p>Rossville Bank (c.1953), 70 Front Street. One-story Art Deco with brick veneer and a cast stone stepped parapet.</p><br>
<p>250 Main St. (c.1887). Two-story Queen Anne, with a wrap-around porch with paired round Tuscan columns on stone piers, and with Colonial Revival detailing. Built by/for a woman, P.C. Stone, whose grandfather and another added its second story.</p><br>
<p>255 Main St. (c.1890). One story L-shaped building with Colonial Revival detailing.</p><br>
<p>270 Main St. (c.1890). One-and-a-half-story Queen Anne cottage.</p><br>
<p>A walking tour of the historic district is offered annually by a local, private group in Rossville.</p><br>
<p>The Adin Wheeler House and Theodore F. Wheeler Wheelwright Shop is a historic property at 125 Quaker Farms Road in Southbury, Connecticut. It includes two well-preserved and little-altered buildings: the house, built in the late 18th century, is a fine Georgian colonial with some uncommon features, and the wheelwright shop is a remarkably complete example of a late 19th-century workshop. The property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1993.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Wheeler property is located in southeastern Southbury, on the east side of Quaker Farms Road near its junction with Burma Road. It is set a short way north of Southford Falls State Park, which contains remnant industrial archaeology associated with the Wheeler family. The property includes the main house, a barn, and the wheelwright shop, a barn-like structure. The house is a -story Cape style wood-frame structure, with a front porch across the front that is sheltered by a bell-cast extension of the main roof. This type of porch roof is uncommon in Connecticut, being reminiscent of Dutch rather than English construction methods. The interior of the house follows a center hall plan, also unusual for the period and a rural setting.</p><br>
<p>The wheelwright shop is a remarkably complete example of a late 19th-century workshop. It includes a complete brick forge arrangement, with working bellows and tools. Practically the only missing element from an operational works are the belts connecting foot pedals to the power shafts which drive the bellows and a grindstone.</p><br>
<p>The property was part of the Southford Falls industrial area which was first developed by colonists in the 1740s. The house was probably built in the 1790s by Adin Wheeler, who owned the millworks on the falls with Enos Candee, a business partner whose house also stands nearby. Theodore Wheeler, Adin&#39;s great-grandson, built the wheelwright shop in the late 19th century, as well as the major addition to the house, which served as a tap room and public meeting space. When the property was listed on the National Register in 1993, it was still in the hands of Wheeler descendants.</p><br>
<p>Bay Street Beach Historic District  is a historic beach in Los Angeles County.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The beach was a place of recreation and leisure for African Americans during the Jim Crow era. The beach was located at Pico Boulevard and two city blocks south of Bicknell Street, near Phillips Chapel Christian Methodist Episcopal Church. In 1922, the Santa Monica Bay Protective League was organized to attempt to fence the beach to exclude African Americans. In 1927, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People challenged restrictive covenants at Manhattan Beach, south of Santa Monica, which were overturned by the Supreme Court of California.</p><br>
<p>Alison Rose Jefferson and Michael Blum documented the history of the district. In 2008, Santa Monica officially recognized the district.</p><br>
<p>The Deacon&#39;s Point Historic District encompasses a historic 19th-century residential area of eastern Bridgeport, Connecticut. Roughly bounded by Seaview Avenue and Williston, Bunnell and Deacon Streets, the district was first laid out for development shortly after the American Civil War, and contains modest examples of residential architecture dating from 1866 to the early 20th century. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Deacons Point is a residential area in Bridgeports East End, located on the east side of the Yellow Mill Channel, a finger of Bridgeport&#39;s harbor. The historic district consists of most of the single blocks of Williston, Holly, and Deacon Streets extending east from Seaview Avenue, as well as houses on the connecting sections of Seaview Avenue. There are 79 buildings, most of which are residential. About one third were built before 1880, and are vernacular examples of period Italianate architecture. About one half of the buildings were built between 1880, and are modest examples of Queen Anne, Stick style, and other typically late Victorian styles. Most of the few 20th-century buildings are multiunit residences.</p><br>
<p>The Deacon&#39;s Point area was first developed in the post-Civil War years, when it was part of Stratford. In 1889, the area was annexed to Bridgeport, which spurred a housing boom in the neighborhood. The area has since been surrounded by later development, but is still distinguished from those areas by its distinct Victorian architecture.</p><br>
<p>The First Baptist Church of Boulder, at 1237 Pine St. in Boulder, Colorado, was built in 1925-26. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004. It is a brick L-shaped building "central three-story square tower is located at the inside corner of the "L" and has the pointed arch main entrance with heavy, paneled, glazed, wooden, double doors. The tower is topped with a pre-cast concrete belfry with such ornate details as a crenellated parapet, quatrefoils, corner piers, and large lancet openings with smaller lancet shapes in the tracery."</p><br>
<p>It was deemed significant as "excellent example of the Late Gothic Revival style. Exhibiting all of the elements of this early 20th century style in its square tower, decorative quatrefoils, pointed-arch windows and doors, and buttresses,</p><br>
<p>The Neiditz Building is a historic commercial building at 111 Pearl Street in Hartford, Connecticut. Built in 1950, it was the first major new office building to be built following the Great Depression. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2020.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Neiditz Building is located in downtown Hartford, at the southeast corner of Trumbull and Pearl Streets. It is a seven-story structure, with its basement level partially exposed due to the sloping terrain of its lot. The ground floor houses commercial spaces, while the upper floors, originally office space, have been converted to residential use. The upper levels of the building are faced in brick with ribbons of aluminum-framed windows extending across much of the width of its two street-facing facades. Its internal features included then-modern air handling systems that included ultraviolet lighting designed to kill bacteria.</p><br>
<p>The Wheeler-Beecher House is a historic house at 562 Amity Road in Bethany, Connecticut. Built in 1807, it is a good example of Federal period architecture, designed by New Haven architect David Hoadley. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1977.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Wheeler-Beecher House stands in the rural community of Bethany, at the northeast corner of Amity Road (Connecticut Route 63) and Hilldale Road. It is a -story wood-frame structure, with a gabled roof and clapboarded exterior. An integral two-story ell extends to the rear, and the roof is pierced by a pair of brick chimneys. The main facade is five bays wide, with the main entrance in the center bay. It is flanked by sidelight windows and topped by a radiating fanlight with scalloped trim. The entry is sheltered by a gabled portico with an open pediment and side entablatures supported by round columns. Above the entry is a Palladian window, its elements separated by narrow pilasters. Its side windows are topped by corniced entablatures; the remaining front windows are simple sash windows topped by cornices. The interior follows a typical center hall plan, which has been partly compromised by a historical conversion of the building into apartments.</p><br>
<p>The house was built in 1807 for Darius Beecher, about whom little is known. It was designed and built by David Hoadley a builder and designer from New Haven who is best known in the region for his churches. For much of the 19th century the house was owned by the Wheeler family. It was also historically used as a gathering place: the second floor of the ell houses a ballroom which was used by local churches for events.</p><br>
<p>The Division Street Historic District encompasses one of the best-preserved 19th-century residential areas of Bridgeport, Connecticut. Now separated from downtown Bridgeport by the Connecticut Route 25 highway, the area includes a cross-section of 19th-century architectural styles, as well as a diversity of sophistication, from working-class accommodations to high-style Victorian mansions. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Division Street Historic District is located in Bridgeports West Side-West End area, bounded roughly by State Street to the north, Iranistan Avenue to the west, Black Rock Avenue to the south, and West Avenue to the east. Much of this area was historically part of Fairfield; the area west of Park Avenue (known historically as Division Street) was annexed to the city in 1870. It was by that time already undergoing development to provide housing for the citys burgeoning workforce. The earliest worker-oriented housing predates the annexation, with Black Rock Avenue and Hanover Street already populated with worker-oriented housing by 1862.</p><br>
<p>The area from Park Street east was an enclave for some of Bridgeport&#39;s most affluent and influential residents. The surviving elements (portions were demolished during urban renewal actions of the 20th century) include a number of high-style Queen Anne Victorian houses on Park Street and West Street.</p><br>
<p>One of the city&#39;s most controversial 19th-century developments took place along Cottage and Lewis Streets, in the heart of the district. P.T. Barnum, the circus showman and city booster, sought to place a residential development on the site of an old cemetery in this area. He successfully engineered the passage of state and city legislation (during his periods of service in the state legislature and as city mayor) to make this possible. The process by which this was accomplished, and the manner in which the graves were relocated, were both high controversial. The development is also notable for the consistent use of the designs of Palliser, Palliser & Company in its construction.</p><br>
<p>The Wilby High School is a historic school building at 260 Grove Street in Waterbury, Connecticut. Built in 1917-20, it is one of the oldest surviving secondary school buildings in the city, and a distinctive example of Tudor Gothic architecture. The building served as a school until 1978; the current Wilby High School is located on Bucks Hill Road. This building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture and history</h2><br>
<p>Waterbury&#39;s first Wilby High School building is located in a residential area north of downtown Waterbury, on 2.5 acre of land between Grove Street to the south and Pine Street to the north. The three-story masonry building is set into a steeply sloping hillside, with ground-level entrances on several levels. The main entrance is on the south facade, accessed via a series of terraced stairs. The building is roughly square, measuring 190 x. Tudor Revival features include the monumental main entrance surround, as well as the secondary entrances on Pine Street. The interior follows a "hollow square" plan, with a square of hallways, classrooms and offices on the outside walls, and gymnasiums and auditorium in the central space.</p><br>
<p>Construction began on the school in 1917, and it opened to students in 1920. The building was designed by architect Louis A. Walsh, then one of Waterburys leading architects. The citys first high school, Crosby High School, was well over capacity, and Wilby was built to educate students in a commercially oriented curriculum. It was named for Stephen Wilby, a longtime principal of Crosby High who died quite suddenly in 1917. The building served as a high school until 1978, when the present Wilby High was opened. After sitting vacant for some years, it was converted to residential use.</p><br>
<p>Riverside Cemetery is located in Oshkosh, Wisconsin and was listed on the USA National Register of Historic Places in 2003.</p><br>
<h2>Founding and expansion of cemetery</h2><br>
<p>On March 6, 1855, the city of Oshkosh purchased a land parcel from Maria Grignon for creation of a cemetery. The parcel was located on the east bank of the Fox River and was named Riverside Cemetery. It was built as a replacement for the Locust Grove Cemetery, which was the first burial ground in Oshkosh and built in 1848. Between 1855 and 1869, the remains of those buried in Locust Grove were moved to Riverside Cemetery.</p><br>
<p>In 1855, the Riverside Catholic cemetery was laid out north of the cemetery and expanded further in 1875. In 1868, a parcel was purchased east of the Riverside Cemetery by Masons. In 1882, the city purchased 38 acre in the north edge of the Catholic plots. In 1887, the city sold off 10 acre to the Catholic Church. In 1914, an additional 61 acre were purchased from H. C. Rogers, expanding the cemetery to 98.39 acre, the current size today.</p><br>

<p>The Laurel Beach Casino is a historic meeting and entertainment facility at 102 6th Avenue in Milford, Connecticut. Built in 1929, it is the last surviving building of its type in the city, whose coastal villages once featured seven of them. The building is a Colonial Revival structure, featuring a wraparound porch, auditorium with stage, and a bowling alley. Ellen’s ghost is known for haunting the alley to these days. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2018.</p><br>
<p>The Marcel Breuer House II, also known as the New Canaan Breuer House I, is a historic house at 122 Sunset Hill Road in New Canaan, Connecticut. Built in 1947, it was designed by architect Marcel Breuer as a home for his family. It is an important early example of his Modern Movement designs, with a cantilevered design featuring glass and stone finishes. The house, occupied by his family for just four years, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2010.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Marcel Breuer House II is located north of the town center of New Canaan, in a residential setting on the west side of Sunset Hill Road. It is set back about 200 ft from the street, with a long sloping meadow in between. The house is built using typical balloon framing techniques, augmented by the use of steel cables and specially designed exterior sheathing to assist in supporting the sections of the building that are cantilevered some 10 ft beyond the foundation&#39;s edge. The main east-facing facade is characterized by blocks of fixed and casement windows, separated by gray-painted cypress siding. An addition was made to the west (rear) of the main block was designed by Breuer protegé Herbert Beckhard.</p><br>
<p>The house was designed by Marcel Breuer and completed in 1947. Breuer came to the United States in 1937, settling first in Massachusetts, where his first self-designed family home stands in Lincoln, near the landmark Gropius House. He relocated to New York City in 1946, and chose New Canaan due to its proximity to the city and its leafy suburban character. The house is an early example of Breuers "long box" designs, in which the main volume of the house appears as a floating box, and also exemplifies the architects interest in cantilevered designs. In this house, the cantilevered section have been repeatedly shored up to deal with sagging.</p><br>
<p>The Breuers lived in this house until 1951, when they moved into Breuers second New Canaan house. Breuer also designed a summer house in Wellfleet, Massachusetts for the familys use.</p><br>
<p>The East Bridgeport Historic District encompasses one of the best-preserved 19th-century neighborhoods of Bridgeport, Connecticut. Bounded by Arctic Street, East Main Street, the railroad tracks, and the Pequonnock River, this area was a planned development of Bridgeport promoter P.T. Barnum and landowner William H. Noble. Its development prompted the significant growth of industry and economic activity east of the Pequonnock River. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The East Bridgeport Historic District is located roughly north of downtown Bridgeport, from which it is separated by a bend in the Pequonnock River. The area contains a well-defined rectilinear grid of streets, near whose center stands Washington Park. The waterfront areas in the western part of the district are primarily industrial in character, including 19th-century buildings dating to the period of the area&#39;s development. The area around the park is dominated by formerly high-status residences in a variety of 19th-century styles, many of which have been subsequently subdivided into multiunit housing. The other areas of the district are mainly populated by housing built for the working classes, consisting of rowhouses, tenement-style triple deckers, and smaller single family and two-family houses.</p><br>
<p>This area was developed beginning in 1851 through the efforts of showman and Bridgeport civic booster P.T. Barnum. Barnum purchased the core of the land in this area from William H. Noble, who had inherited it as farmland from his father. In addition to laying out the street grid and Washington Park, Barnum sold house lots and built a factory on the riverfront which was sold to a consortium of carriage manufacturers. Sewing machine manufacturers Wheeler & Wilson and Elias Howe also established facilities either in the district or nearby, spurring development of the area. It was estimated that the East Bridgeport area housed three-fourths of the citys manufacturing base and one quarter of its population by 1869. The areas mixed-income character, with wealthy businessmen, artisans and craftsmen, and the working class all living in close proximity, was compromised in the years after World War I, and it is now a largely working-class community. The district retains much of its original Victorian character, with generally modest or reversible alterations to building exteriors.</p><br>
<p>The New Haven Armory  is a historic building at 270–290 Goffe Street in the Dixwell neighborhood of New Haven, Connecticut, United States. Developed between 1928 and 1930, the armory served the Connecticut National Guard and the Second Company Governor&#39;s Foot Guard. It has also served as a venue for concerts, events, and other civic functions in the community.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The building was designed by Payne and Keefe. It is a fortress-like structure with a red brick exterior in a Romanesque revival style. The building consists of three main parts: a vast vaulted drill hall, a surrounding U-shaped head house, and an extending wing on the west. The four-story entry tower of the headhouse dominates the facade, with "state armory" engraved near the top. The building features basket-weave brickwork, arches, corbelling, and a molded cornice. The enormous 150,000 ft&sup2; interior space has meeting rooms, offices, lounges, and a lobby area. The drill hall is 30,560 ft&sup2; of unobstructed space and features a web of steel trusses spanning the ceiling.</p><br>
<p>The building has served as a venue for dog, antique, and boat shows. It also hosted exhibitions and concerts, with artists including Frank Sinatra, and the Tommy Dorsey Band. Annual "Black Expos" were held at the armory in the 1970s to promote and discuss economic, political, and social concerns important to the African-American community.</p><br>
<p>Ownership was transferred to the City of New Haven in 2009 when both guard units moved to other facilities and the armory was deemed surplus. Efforts to secure funds for the building renovation to serve the community are ongoing. The property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2021.</p><br>
<p>Narcisse Prudhomme Plantation, also known as Narcisse Prud&#39;homme Plantation, Beau Fort Plantation, and St. Charles Plantation, is a historic planation house and a former plantation, located in the unincorporated community of Bermuda, Louisiana near the village of Natchez. It is one of the oldest plantations in the Cane River National Heritage Area.</p><br>
<p>It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since July 13, 1976, for its architectural significance.</p><br>

<p>The first known owner of the plantation is Louis Barthelemy Rachal, and the plantation house is thought to have been built sometime between 1790 and 1821. The name "Beau Fort" is derived from an oral history about the land the plantation occupies once being the site of an early French fort.</p><br>
<p>The second owner of the plantation house was Louis Narcisse Prudhomme (1788–1844) and his wife Marie Theresa Elizabeth (née Métoyer). Prudhommes daughter Marie Clarisse Prudhomme (1817–1908) was married to Charles Emile Sompayrac (1813–1878) and they owned the Cherokee Plantation.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The architecture of the Narcisse Prudhomme Plantation house is Creole influenced, but it is not designed as a typical Creole cabin. The original rooms have 12 foot tall ceilings with Greek Revival molding. The house also has French Colonial architectural features such as a bousillage walls, a gable roof, french doors, a front gallery space, the floor plan layout, and interior chimneys. The framing of the house is made with cypress wood.</p><br>
<p>The plantation house was nicknamed "Luclora". Remodels to the house occurred in 1937 with exterior changes; and in 1949 with a wing of the house added.</p><br>
<p>Located nearby is Oaklawn Plantation, Cherokee Plantation, and Cedar Bend Plantation.</p><br>
<p>The East Main Street Historic District encompasses a well-preserved late 19th-century commercial area on the east side of Bridgeport, Connecticut. Extending along East Main Street from Interstate 95 to Crescent Place, the district arose as part of a major development push orchestrated by P.T. Barnum in the 1850s, and contains one of Connecticut&#39;s finest assemblages of late Victorian commercial architecture. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The East Main Street Historic District is located along several blocks of Bridgeports East Main Street, a north-south spine of commercial activity on the citys East Side. The district extends roughly from the Interstate 95 junction in the south, to the railroad tracks in the north. It is characterized by densely built masonry commercial buildings, set close to the sidewalk, and often directly abutting adjacent buildings. Most buildings are two to four stories in height, and feature some level of late 19th-century Victorian architectural styling on their facades. Many buildings have modified storefronts in which such details have been removed, while others merely obscure the surviving details under later coverings.</p><br>
<p>Bridgeports East Side was developed beginning in the 1850s through the efforts of P.T. Barnum, one of the citys major boosters of the period, and William H. Noble, whose father had purchased much land on the east side with an eye towards development. Barnum had a vision of developing the area as a new commercial, industrial, and residential area, forming what became in some respects a second city. He built factory buildings to attract business, and sold off other parcels for housing and commercial development. East Main Street became the commercial hub for much of this economic activity, providing services to local workers for whom downtown Bridgeport (across the Pequonnock River was less convenient. Because architectural parts were one of the city&#39;s industrial outputs, the area features a particularly fine array of detail, not often found elsewhere in the state.</p><br>
<p>Daniels Park is a former working ranch in Douglas County, Colorado, United States. The park is one of the Denver Mountain Parks and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1995. It is located along Douglas County Road 67 northeast of Sedalia and east of Castle Pines. The modern-day park may have been the site of Kit Carson&#39;s last campfire and includes a memorial to the frontiersman.</p><br>
<p>Florence Martin, an Australian-American philanthropist, made two donations of her ranchs 1,000 acres to establish Daniels Park. The park includes some structures dating from 1920, and work by architect Jules Jacques Benoit Benedict. Prominent locations include Florence Martin Ranch, Riley Hill, and Wildcat Point. A herd of bison lives in the park, and the bison graze on the prairie grass in the parks upper elevations. Because of the presence of the bison, most of the park is not open to the public.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The clear views afforded by the prominences on Riley Hill ridge and Wildcat Point led the area that would become Daniels Park to become popular as a stop for travelers in the 19th century. The Daniels Park Road originated as a trail constructed on the ridge in the late 1850s or early 1860s, making it one of the first of Colorado&#39;s territorial roads. In 1868, noted frontiersman Kit Carson supposedly made his last campfire on Wildcat Point while traveling from Denver over Riley Hill before dying at Fort Lyon. The modern park now includes a memorial to Carson, placed by the Territorial Daughters in 1923. In the 1860s, newspaper reporter Fitz Hugh Ludlow attested to a petrified forest—now recognized as the Cherokee Ranch petrified forest—in the modern-day Daniels Park area.</p><br>
<p>Florence Martin, an Australian-American philanthropist, made two donations of her ranchs land totaling around 1,000 acres that became Daniels Park. William Cooke Daniels–a major and owner of the Daniels & Fisher department store in Denver–and his wife, Cicely Banner Daniels, both died in 1918. The stores ownership passed to store president Charles MacAllister Willcox and Martin (a friend of Cicely). Martin purchased the property that became Daniels Park in 1919 as a summer home for herself and her sister, Emily. The next year, Florence donated 38 acres to the Denver Mountain Parks system contingent on them naming it for the late Daniels; the area was renamed to Daniels Park after previously being known as Wild Cat Mountain and Auto View.</p><br>
<p>In 1922, Jules Jacques Benoit Benedict designed a picnic shelter for the new park. The city also constructed several campfire sites. The parks views of the Front Range from Pikes Peak to Longs Peak meant the small area became a popular picnic site. On the land retained by Martin, a house and ranch facilities were constructed through the early 1920s. Martins house burned in 1937, spurring her to donate 962 acres of the ranch to Denver Mountain Parks system. Park maintenance employees and their equipment moved into the surviving ranch facilities.</p><br>
<p>At another Denver Mountain Park, Genesee Park, a herd of bison was growing too large for the area. This bison herd had been sourced from Yellowstone National Park as part of earlier efforts to preserve the endangered species. Twenty bison were taken from the Genesee herd and relocated to Daniels Park in 1938, with around 800 acres of the park allocated to the herd. Both the Genesee and Daniels Park herds have become sources of bison for Native Americans, including to the Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes in Oklahoma. While the bison had been previously auctioned, Denver began donating yearlings to selected tribes in 2022.</p><br>
<p>Richard Tall Bull, a Cheyenne, pressed Denver to procure a space where the city&#39;s Native American community could have exclusive access to permit ceremonies and celebrations. He chose a 70-acre area of northern Daniels Park, which Denver set aside for exclusive Native American use in 1977; this grant was extended for 25 years in 1997. Management of the Tall Bull Memorial Grounds is coordinated by the intertribal Tall Bull Memorial Council, which hosts an annual pow wow on Labor Day Weekend.</p><br>
<p>From the late 1990s onward, Denver and Douglas County coordinated on improving the parks accessibility due to the recent nearby residential developments. The Martin Ranch barns exterior was restored in 2006, followed a master plan for improving the park being shared in 2007. In 2008, Denver and Douglas County entered a cooperative agreement focused on restoring the park. Another improvement program that included paved roads, new trails, and additional parking and overlook locations was announced in 2017. The improvements, to cost $2 million, were funded by both the Denver and Douglas County governments. Earlier in the year, a crime wave was reported in the park, including substantial amounts of graffiti, litter, open campfires. The damage to the park proved expensive, leading the Denver Mountain Park Rangers and Douglas County Sheriff to introducing additional fences and patrols in the park; teenagers were suspected in the damage. The park is under the city&#39;s ownership, while Daniels Park Road is owned by Douglas County.</p><br>
<p>In June 2022, Douglas Countys commissioners issued a proposal to take over Daniels Park in retaliation against Denver following a May vote by Denver city council to prohibit carrying concealed weapons in city parks. The effort was led by Douglas County commissioner George Teal and opposed by fellow commissioner Lora Thomas. The payment required to acquire the park was estimated by a Denver government official at around $800 million. Michael Hancock, the then-mayor of Denver, announced he had "no interest" in Daniels Park coming under Douglas Countys ownership and said the proposals would not deter the city from pursuing the prohibition of concealed firearms in its parks.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The roughly 1000 acre park included four clusters of structures, including a total of 10 contributing buildings, nine contributing structures, and three contributing sites in its 1994 National Register of Historic Places registration. Among the structures is a picnic shelter designed by architect Jules Jacques Benoit Benedict. The surviving Florence Martin Ranch as an example of early 20th-century Colorado ranching and displays craftsmen elements typical of contemporary rural architecture.</p><br>
<p>The prominent Riley Hill ridge bisects the park and reaches the 6,600-foot elevation Wildcat Point. The landscape of the park includes varied topography, including pastureland, rocky outcroppings, and a sandstone mesa. It is the Denver Mountain Parks systems sole prairie park. Much of the park is inaccessible to the public due to the presence of a herd of bison. Elk also roam the parks grounds.</p><br>
<p>Daniels Park is east of the community of Castle Pines, though the developments do not impair the park&#39;s westward views. Highlands Ranch borders the park to the north. USA Route 85 runs to the south and west. The area includes a 55 million-year-old petrified forest.</p><br>
<p>The Shabbona Hotel is a historic hotel building at 104 West Comanche Street in Shabbona, Illinois. Built in 1897 by L. C. Card, the hotel was the second in Shabbona; the first, the Shabbona House, opened in 1874 and burned down in 1894. The two-story vernacular brick building had ten rooms in addition to two apartments, a living space for its owners, and a restaurant in its basement. It provided lodging to both out-of-town visitors and the many workers on Shabbona&#39;s two railroad lines, one of which was adjacent to the hotel. The hotel also served as a meeting place for Shabbona residents, and visiting optometrists provided eye exams and services from the hotel. In the 1930s, the hotel was converted to apartments.</p><br>
<p>The hotel was added to the National Register of Historic Places on May 6, 2021.</p><br>
<p>The Dr. Cyril O. Spann Medical Office, located in Columbia, South Carolina, served African-American patients during de jure and de facto racial segregation in the United States. Built in 1963, it was added to United States National Register of Historic Places on May 20, 2019.</p><br>
<h2>History and location</h2><br>
<p>The office, built by Dr. Cyril O. Spann in 1963, is a one-story modern brick building near the former Good Samaritan-Waverly Hospital, also known as "Good Sam" Hospital and Waverly Hospital, a historic hospital for African-American patients built in 1952, where Spann served as chief of staff from 1966 until the hospitals closure in 1973. He worked with Black nurses who trained at Columbia Hospital. After the closure of Good Sam&#39;, and merger of Columbia Hospital into the new Richland Memorial Hospital (now Prisma Health Richland Hospital), Dr. Spann continued to work from his office while serving as attending surgeon there and at Providence Hospital. The Spann Medical Office is significant for its association with segregated medical facilities in Columbia, and with Dr. Spann believed to have been the only Black surgeon in South Carolina in the 1960s and early 70s. Dr. Spann was born in Chester, South Carolina, attended Benedict College and Meharry Medical College and traveled the state to serve Black patients until his death in 1979.</p><br>
<p>The office reflects a shift from earlier African American doctors&#39; offices in Columbia, which were often located in residences or re-purposed buildings. According to his son, Cyril O. Spann, Jr., MD, a Gynecologic Oncologist, Dr. Spann was very involved in the design of the building, making sure the modernity of the office was emphasized through its design. The ribbon windows, stacked course brick veneer, and clean lines of the building adhere closely to the tenets of Modernism/Modern architecture.</p><br>
<h2>Civil rights significance</h2><br>
<p>Prior to the construction of this office in 1963, Dr. Spann was heavily involved in the local struggle for civil rights. The research of David Barton Smith describes Black physicians of the era who used their local clout and influence to fight for justice during this era as Street Fighters involved in direct actions, or Brahmins who exerted pressure for change behind the scenes. Dr. Spann was a street fighter. He became a life member and Columbia Chapter President of the South Carolina State Conference of NAACP and joined adult leaders attorney Lincoln C. Jenkins, Jr. Matthew J. Perry Jr., Chief Counsel of the South Carolina State Conference of NAACP, and later Federal District Judge of the United States District Court for the District of South Carolina; and Isaiah DeQuincey Newman, SC State Conference of NAACP Field Director in supporting a major student-led march on the South Carolina State House grounds on March 2, 1961. More than 187 of the student protesters were detained by police, and Spann was instrumental in getting the funds to pay the bail of those arrested. The resulting lawsuit, Edwards v. South Carolina, reached the Supreme Court of the United States, led at that time by Chief Justice Earl Warren and his Warren Court.</p><br>
<p>On February 25, 1963, the court ruled that the 14th amendment forbids states "to make criminal the peaceful expression of unpopular views," providing legal protection for similar protests nationwide. In Columbia, the marchers and their supporters, including Dr. Spann, representing the bondsmen who bailed the demonstrators out of jail, told those present that his group was satisfied to have acted as it did and would do the same thing again under similar circumstances. He continued to help young protestors in his normal line of work, using his surgical skills to save the life of Benedict College student Lennie W. Glover after he was stabbed in a Columbia Woolworth&#39;s by a white assailant while participating in a sit-in. The event was picked up in national news and featured in Jet Magazine.</p><br>
<p>During this period of student marches and activism, court rulings, and efforts by the white establishment to control the pace of racial change, Dr. Spann personally participated in other efforts to desegregate Columbia. Lester Bates was elected Mayor of Columbia, South Carolina in 1958 and soon encountered students setting the pace for racial change, with sit-ins and protests starting in 1960. Bates responded by working with committees of Black and white community leaders—with whom he first met separately—to discuss how to best avoid the violent reactions to desegregation that were taking place in other cities across the South. Desegregation talks were held privately, while Allen University and Benedict College students protested publicly. In September 1962, after Columbias lunch counters were desegregated, students and others turned their attention to segregation in the areas movie theatres. After students picketed and protested these businesses, the secret committee of Blacks and whites moved to quietly end segregationist practices in theaters. On June 5, 1963, I. DeQuincey Newman targeted eight South Carolina cities, including Columbia, for massive protests, and sent each mayor a list of demands.</p><br>
<p>Rev. James M. Hinton, a member of the committee, arranged for Dr. Spann to systematically integrate the Palmetto Theater on Main Street between December 20 and January 6, 1963, as a test case. Bates used this method of controlling the process of integration, with one Columbia space after another integrating in an orchestrated, gradual way. Dr. Spann joined John Henry McCray and other black leaders in approaching Mayor Lester Bates and Columbia City Council and won from them a promise of cooperation to end segregation in downtown businesses. Dr. Spann and John H McCray were part of an ad hoc committee, which also consisted of J.A. Bacoats, president of Benedict College; Reverend Maxie S. Gordon, Sr. James M. Hinton, C.D. Ingram, Willis C. Johnson, I. P. Stanback, Reverend Roscoe C. Wilson, Sr. (Grandfather of professional basketball player Aja Wilson), and Howard Emery Wright, president of Allen University. Researcher Brad Sauls noted: "Columbias wealth of exceptional leaders prevented the city from experiencing the tragedies and violence that scarred other cities in the Deep South".</p><br>
<p>When Dr. Spann bought the property for his new office in 1962, the attorneys who handled his property transactions were Lincoln C. Jenkins, Jr., (who, along with Matthew J. Perry Jr., Jack Greenberg, Constance Baker Motley, James M. Nabrit III and Donald James Sampson, argued the Edwards v. South Carolina case before the Supreme Court of the United States), and Harold R. Boulware, who, along with Thurgood Marshall and Robert L. Carter, filed Elmore v. Rice, the class action suit that opened up the Democratic Primaries to Black voters in 1947</p><br>
<h2>A legacy of Black physicians</h2><br>
<p>The medical office at 2226 Hampton, now referred to as the Dr. Cyril O. Spann Medical Office, was operated exclusively by African American physicians from 1963 until 1996, recorded in Columbia City Directories. In addition to Dr. Albert L. Reid, who shared the space with Dr. Spann, a number of prominent African American doctors worked in the office during the 1980s and 1990s. Dr. Everett L. Dargan, who had his offices here in 1980 and 1981, published significant Ascending cholangitis research, and argued for changes at the federal level to support medical services for the poor and indigent, ultimately receiving Congressional recognition of his legacy from Jim Clyburn.</p><br>
<p>Other prestigious Black doctors who worked from 2226 Hampton included Drs. Ronald Johnson and Burnett W. Gallman Jr., from 1982 to 1987, the latter of whom was recognized in the 2018 South Carolina African American History Calendar, and whose grandfather graduated from Leonard Medical School in 1906; Dr. Gerald A. Wilson in 1981, awarded the Order of the Palmetto, one of South Carolina&#39;s most prestigious honors, and Physician of the Year in 2017; Dr. Vera McBryde of Latta, SC from 1990 to 1992, believed to be the first Black woman to become a Board certified physician in the state of SC and Dr. Stuart A. Hamilton from 1994 to 1996, founder of the Eau Claire Cooperative Community Health Clinic System, which serves low income patients in four South Carolina counties. Hamilton is also an Order of the Palmetto recipient.</p><br>
<h2>Other site protections and recognition</h2><br>
<p>In addition to its National Register of Historic Places status, the Spann Medical Office falls within the boundaries of Waverly Protection Area, a Preservation District within the City of Columbia Urban Design and Historic Preservation District system. This Preservation District is an expansion of Waverly Historic District.</p><br>
<p>The Dr. Cyril O. Spann Medical Office historical marker from the South Carolina Department of Archives and History was unveiled on November 19, 2019, with presentations made by former Chief Justice of the South Carolina Supreme Court Jean H. Toal, State Representative Kambrell Garvin, and Chester County Councilwoman Mary A. Guy.</p><br>
<p>A dedication ceremony for a tree of peace and resistance also held that day recognized actions of mutual support between members of Emanual African Methodist Episcopal Church who experienced the Charleston Church Shooting and members of the Tree of Life _ Or L&#39;Simcha Congregation after the Pittsburgh synogogue shooting; historic ties between the Spann Medical Office, the Visanska Starks House and Good Samaritan Waverly Hospital, and expressed a commitment to public health and non-violence. The hospital will be dedicated to the nine persons slain in the Charleston church shooting at Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church, to include Pastor and South Carolina Senator Clementa C. Pinckney and two other Allen University alumni.</p><br>
<p>The Ishpeming Main Street Historic District is a commercial historic district located in Ishpeming, Michigan, primarily along Main Street between Front and Division Streets, with some contiguous properties on Front and Division Streets. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2021.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The mines around Ishpeming were operational in the 1840s, but the city itself did not develop until around the Civil War. The Ishpeming House, a general store and boarding house for miners, was built in 1860. In 1869, the core of the Main Street commercial district was platted. Nelson&#39;s store, the first business in the district, opened later that year. This was followed by ten more businesses, including a saloon, hotel, and hardware store. By 1873, the city of Ishpeming was incorporated. In 1874, a disastrous fire destroyed most of the buildings in the Main Street district. New buildings, primarily of brick and stone, were constructed in the next few years to replace the lost buildings.</p><br>
<p>Ishpeming boomed in the 1880s, and continued to expand until the turn of the century. The mining industry remained stable through World War I, but went into decline in the 1920s. The Great Depression exacerbated the economic decline of the mining industry, but Ishpemings economy was boosted by a rise in tourism, accelerated after World War II. However, the urban sprawl of the 1950s and 1960s led to a decline of Ishpemings downtown. Through the 21st century, buildings were repurposed or in some cases demolished.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Ishpeming Main Street Historic District contains 28 buildings, 22 of which contribute to the historic character of the district. The buildings are primarily two-story Late Victorian commercial blocks located along the sidewalk line. Five of the buildings were constructed before 1884, with ten additional buildings constructed between 1884 and 1897. Six buildings were constructed in the 1910s, and four more just after World War II.</p><br>
<p>Most of the buildings were constructed as commercial blocks, but the district also includes an Elevator & Warehouse building, Gylling’s Opera House, the Butler Theater, two fraternal organization halls, and the Michigan Bell Telephone Building.</p><br>
<p>The Arthur and Lyn Chivvis House is a historic house at 2 Wydendown Road in New Canaan, Connecticut. Built in 1977-78, it was designed by architect Eliot Noyes for a family friend, and was his last residential commission. Its Modern Movement design is based in part of the architect&#39;s own residence in New Canaan. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2010.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Chivvis House stands in a rural residential setting, at the end of a cul-de-sac off Smith Ridge Road north of New Canaan&#39;s village center. It is a single-story H-shaped structure, with large wings joined by a central hyphen. The wings are oriented in a north-south direction, and are finished in a combination of floor-to-ceiling glass, and tongue-and-groove vertical siding. The eastern facade gives views over a stream which traverses the property. The area north of the hyphen forms the formal entry to the building, while a private bluestone patio fills the southern area. The house is covered by a flat rubber membrane roof, and rests on piers over a crawlspace, except for the hyphen, which is built on a concrete slab. The interior is divided by function: the west wing houses the private spaces of the house, while the east wing houses the kitchen, dining area, and living spaces. The interior includes all original finishes and features.</p><br>
<p>The house was built in 1977-78 for Arthur and Lyn Chivvis. Lyn (née Bremer) Chivvis was a family friend of the architect, Eliot Noyes, and had grown up in another New Canaan house Noyes had designed. Noyes completed the design, but died during the construction of the house. Completion of the house, and the construction of planned southern extensions to the wings, was overseen by Noyes business partner, Alan Goldberg. At the time of the houses listing on the National Register in 2010, it was still owned by the Chivvis family.</p><br>

<p>The Saline Valley salt tram is located in Inyo County, California, United States. The electric aerial tramway was constructed from 1911 to 1913 to carry salt from the Saline Valley over the Inyo Mountains and into the Owens Valley. Covering a distance of, it operated sporadically from 1913 to 1935 for four different companies. During its operation, it was the steepest tram in the United States.</p><br>
<p>The tram was built for the Saline Valley Salt Company (SVSC) by the Trenton Iron Company, but the costs of its construction and operation were ruinously expensive for the SVSC. The salt mining operation and tram were leased in 1915 to the Owens Valley Salt Company until it went bankrupt in 1918. In 1920, the tram was taken over by the Trenton Iron Company, which sold it to the Sierra Salt Company in 1928. The Sierra Salt Company put it back into service until the company went bankrupt in 1935. The tram was included in the National Register of Historic Places on December 31, 1974.</p><br>
<h2>Background</h2><br>
<p>The extraction of salt from the Saline Valley began in 1864, when a farmer residing in the nearby Owens Valley gathered salt from a deposit at the southeastern end of the valley. The farmer sold the 99% pure salt to other settlers in the Owens Valley. Located between the Panamint Range and the Inyo Mountains, access to the Saline Valley was difficult; the transportation of salt before the tram from the Saline Valley to the Owens Valley took two days by wagon despite a straight line distance of only.</p><br>
<p>Nearly four decades later, in 1902, the Conn and Trudo Borax Company established a borax mine in the Saline Valley. The next year, White Smith, a Tennessee-born attorney working for Conn and Trudo as a teamster, organized the Saline Valley Salt Company (SVSC). The SVSC mined the valleys salt on a small scale from 1903 until the companys president, L. Bourland, died in 1905. Thereafter, Smith took over its direction and began seeking investors to enlarge the SVSC&#39;s operations.</p><br>
<p>In 1908, the SVSC began studying how to move salt more economically from the Saline Valley to the Southern Pacific railroad station near Keeler, California. The company first considered a railway, which could also carry ore from nearby copper mines. This was ruled out as a viable option because of the ruggedness of the Inyo Mountains. The SVSC next considered moving the salt as brine through a pipeline, which the company saw as relatively inexpensive to construct. A pipeline would not allow for the moving of freight into the Saline Valley, however, and in 1911 the SVSC decided to instead construct an aerial tram.</p><br>
<h2>Construction and operation</h2><br>
<p>In order to determine the route and cost of the tramway, the SVSC began a survey of the region to be crossed in April 1911. The terrain was so difficult that some canyons required several days to traverse. The route was finalized in July 1911. On August 14, the SVSC hired the Trenton Iron Company, a subsidiary of the American Steel and Wire Company, to build the tramway. Work began on September 1, and was complicated by the climate – workers labored in temperatures as high as – and terrain. To transport materials, a road on the western slopes was extended and a team of eight horses was employed for pulling supplies. On the eastern slopes, where construction of a road was made impossible by the terrain, a temporary, two-cable aerial tram was constructed.</p><br>
<p>Construction was expected to have been completed by May 1912 at a cost of $250,000 to $500,000 ($ to $ as of ). Instead, work was not completed until July 2, 1913, at a cost of $750,000 ($ as of ). The SVSC could not afford to continue its operations and in 1915 leased them to the Owens Valley Salt Company, which operated in the Saline Valley until it went bankrupt in 1918. In 1920, the Taylor Milling Company restarted the Saline Valley salt operation but went bankrupt after a year, and the tram was repossessed by the Trenton Iron Company. The Sierra Salt Company reopened the mining operation in 1925 but did not use the tram until they purchased it in 1928. In 1935, the company went bankrupt and the Saline Valley operation was closed.</p><br>
<h2>Design</h2><br>
<p>The tramway was long and was divided into five sections ranging from to. Each of these sections was managed by a control station. In addition, there were 34 structures for maintaining tension on the line. From 1913 to 1935, the route was the steepest of any aerial tram in the United States; in some places, the vertical angle from structure to structure could be as much as 40°. The line rose from the floor of the Saline Valley to the top of the Inyo Mountains and then descended into the Owens Valley.</p><br>
<p>The tramway used two cables to carry its buckets, which weighed when empty and could hold up to of salt. The first cable, for loaded buckets, was thick. The second cable, for empty buckets, was thick. Power was supplied by a Westinghouse electric motor at each control station. The tram moved the buckets at; 20 tons of salt could be moved in an hour. While in operation, the tram required two workers at each terminal, two at every control station, and an additional four workers for maintenance.</p><br>
<h2>Post-closure</h2><br>
<p>On October 31, 1973, the Bureau of Land Management nominated the Saline Valley salt tram for inclusion on the National Register of Historic Places. The nomination was received on October 16, 1974, and approved on December 31, 1974, with the reference ID 74000514.</p><br>
<p>The National Park Service announced in May 2024 that part of the Salt Valley tram ruins had been damaged, stating that someone had toppled one of the towers in April while trying to extricate their vehicle from mud. Three days after the initial announcement, the NPS reported that the people responsible had contacted them and apologized for accidentally damaging the tower while attempting to escape a mire. The NPS also announced that it would review the damage and design a restoration of the tower. The NPS also asked visitors not to try to repair the ruins themselves and reminded visitors to remain on paved roads.</p><br>
<p>Red River Milling Company is a historic building and structures in Fergus Falls, Minnesota, United States. The city&#39;s first mill was built at this location on the north side of the Otter Tail River in 1872. The location was a good one for water power as the river drops in elevation 85 ft within Fergus Falls and 150 ft from just east to just west of the city. The mill expanded over time as frame buildings were constructed on the site. They were destroyed in a fire of unknown origins on March 10, 1915.</p><br>
<p>Barnett & Record Company of Minneapolis designed and built the present concrete and brick structure. The mill&#39;s machinery was built by Wolf & Company of Chambersburg, Pennsylvania and the building was designed to fit the machinery.</p><br>
<p>The remaining complex is significant as the last remaining flour mill in Fergus Falls, an industry that was once important to the local economy. The mill also represents the transition period between the use of waterpower and electricity. The mill was designed to operate on both, but waterpower ended sometime in the early 1920s when the Lower Dam was removed from the river. Because it survived an F5 tornado, the mill attests to the durability of reinforced concrete.</p><br>
<p>The Abijah Comstock House is a historic house at 1328 Smith Ridge Road in New Canaan, Connecticut, United States. Built about 1779 and enlarged about 1810, it is a good example of high-style Federal period architecture. It is also significant for its documented history as the home of a slave owner. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2017.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Abijah Comstock House stands in northern New Canaan, on the west side of Smith Ridge Road not far from the New York state line. The 2 acre property includes the main house and a 19th-century bank barn, as well as a number of period stone walls. The house is a -story timber-frame structure, with a gabled roof and clapboarded exterior. The main facade is five bays wide, with a roughly centered front entry flanked by asymmetrically placed sash windows. The entry is flanked by sidelight windows and pilasters, which rise to support a simple cornice. The interior follows a central hall plan, with kitchen and informal dining spaces to the right and formal living spaces to the left. The spaces on the left in particular include well-preserved examples of high quality Federal period workmanship.</p><br>
<p>The land on which the house stands was purchased by Abijah Comstock in 1754, with tradition holding that the oldest part of the house, its right three bays, was not erected until about 1770, the year his wife died. The house was enlarged about 1810 by Abijahs son Samuel. The earliest record that the Comstocks owned slaves is a description of a visit to the house in 1772 by a local minister. Census and estate records indicate that the family owned at least four slaves during Connecticuts period of gradual emancipation, roughly 1784–1848. One slave, named Cesar, left a will in which his inventory included a bible and a variety of small silver valuables.</p><br>
<p>The Bridge Street Historic District encompasses a largely residential stretch of Bridge Street  and adjacent Imperial Avenue in Westport, Connecticut. This area developed as a residential neighborhood in the 19th century, spurred in part by the 1869 construction of a bridge over the Saugatuck River (where the 1884 Saugatuck River Bridge now stands. The district includes a particularly fine collection of late 19th and early 20th century residential architecture. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2018.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Bridge Street Historic District is a linear district, covering about 0.5 mi of Bridge Street just east of the Saugatuck River, as well as a short stretch of Imperial Avenue, which runs north from Bridge Street. It includes the 1884 Saugatuck River Bridge, which connects Bridge Street to Saugatuck village, located on the west bank of the river. This area is almost entirely residential; the only non-residential building in the district is the Georgian Revival Saugatuck Elementary School (1931) located near the eastern end of the district. Most of the residences were built between about 1880 and 1920, with a few either pre-dating or post-dating this period. The oldest building in the district is the 1809 Delancey Allen House at Compo Road South and Bridge Street.</p><br>
<p>Navigation by road in early Westport was difficult due the lack of a bridge south of the one carrying the Boston Post Road (now United States Route 1) over the Saugatuck River. The Allen family, who owned land on the eastern bank of the river opposite the industrial village of Saugatuck, donated land for a bridgehead, and the first bridge was built on the site of a ferry crossing in 1869. That bridge, a wooden structure, was soon infested with a burrowing worm, and was replaced by the present swing bridge in 1884. The Allens also donated land for the construction of Bridge Street, provided the town built a fences or stone walls (some of which survive in the landscape) to separate the road from their remaining landholdings. Members of the Allen family then began selling off parcels for residential development.</p><br>
<p>The Boone Santa Fe Railroad Depot, at 100 Baker Ave. in Boone, Colorado, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1997.</p><br>
<p>It has also been known as Boone Town Hall as the city offices were moved there in 1996 upon damage to its main town hall building.</p><br>
<p>It is a railway station and shipping point for the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway&#39;s main line running through southern Colorado.</p><br>
<p>It was deemed significant as representing "the impact that railroads had on a towns growth and development" and for its architectural significance: "This well-preserved building is one of the few surviving wood frame combination depots still at its original location. The Boone Depot was one of two otherwise standard structures known to have an enlarged operators bay."</p><br>
<p>The Nathaniel W. Duke House, at 1409 Craig St. in Pueblo, Colorado, was built in 1889. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.</p><br>
<p>It was deemed significant as a good example of Queen Anne-style residential architecture, and for its association with pioneer-era businessman Nathaniel W. Duke (1846-1893).</p><br>
<p>The house was designed by Denver architect Fred A. Hale and is prominent as the largest house in the Craig subdivision. It was built by contractors Pierson and Rinetsen under supervision of Weston & Bicknell as Superintendent of Construction.</p><br>
<p>Duke moved to Pueblo in 1868 and joined the Thatcher Brothers in their general mercantile store. In 1879, Duke ran for county treasurer and remained in that office for two years. He then formed a partnership with William Orman in the Dexter Livery Stable. Fire destroyed the stable in July, 1875, and the firm was dissolved. In 1876, Duke entered into the grocery business with Charles Henkel as a junior partner with the firm known as the Charles Henkel and Company. As the business grew it evolved into a wholesale grocery operation. Together, Henkel and Duke built one of the most successful wholesale grocery businesses in southern Colorado, serving both Colorado and adjacent territories. The firm carried a stock of $200,000 and did an annual business of one quarter of a million dollars. Duke died on December 18, 1893. In his obituary he was eulogized as "one of the best known wholesale grocerymen in the country, his acquaintance being large throughout the East and West. As a businessman, he showed himself to be possessed of unusual judgement and sagacity. In his death, Pueblo loses one of her most highly respected and public spirited citizens" (Pueblo Daily Chieftain, December 18, 1893, p. 5). In a letter written by Charles Henkel to the Southern Colorado Pioneers Association on May 25, 1917, Mr, Henkel referred to Duke as "one of the most brilliant businessmen in the State of Colorado." Following his death, the Duke family continued in the business with Mr. Henkel. Ella, his wife, and son Thomas became officers, and the firm became known as the Henkel-Duke Mercantile Company.</p><br>

<p>The Gateway Village Historic District encompasses a World War I-era housing project on the east side of Bridgeport, Connecticut. Centered on Alanson Road, the project was developed in the later years of the war to provide emergency housing for workers in the city&#39;s munitions factories. It is a rare design attributed to the female-led architectural firm Mead & Schenk, led by Marcia Mead and Anna P. Schenk. Gateway Village is an early example of Garden City movement design. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Gateway Village is located on Bridgeport&#39;s East Side, occupying most of a block bounded by Connecticut Avenue, Stratford Avenue, Hewitt Street, and Waterman Street. It consists of a series of grouped rowhouses, all built out of brick in the Tudor Revival style. They are stories in height, and share a common architectural vocabulary of dormered slate roofs, entries with bracketed shed roof hoods, and sash windows topped by pointed-arch lintels. Much of the complex is oriented around Alanson Road, which functions as a large courtyard space for many of the units.</p><br>
<p>The development begun in 1916, and was the first project of the Bridgeport Housing Company, which was established by the city to provide worker housing needed for the city&#39;s war-related businesses. The project was the design work of Mead & Schenk, a New York City firm that was one of the first to be headed by women and whose known works are small in number. The development is a good early example of design inspired by the Garden City movement.</p><br>
<p>The Durisol House, also known as the Jens Risom House, is a historic house at 43 Marshall Ridge Road in New Canaan, Connecticut. Built in 1949, this Mid-Century Modern house was built to showcase cement-bonded wood fiber, a newly-developed material marketed under the brand name Durisol. The house was bought soon after its construction by designer Jens Risom, and is also known as the Jens Risom House. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2010.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Durisol House is located in a residential area, southwest of the village center of New Canaan, on the west side of Marshall Ridge Road near its junction with Sunrise Avenue. It is a single-story structure, with a steel frame and low-pitch side-gable roof. Its exterior walls are built out of blocks of the eponymous Durisol, essentially an aggregate mixture of wood fibers and Portland cement, and finished in stucco. The roof is sheathed in panels of the same material, covered with tar and gravel. The house has two rectangular components under its roof: the original house to the left, and a former garage which is separated from the main block by a former porch. Both the porch and garage have been integrated into the living space, and a gable-roofed carport now extends in front of the former garage. The interior retains many original features and finishes, include Durisol ceiling tiles.</p><br>
<p>The house was built in 1949 to a design by Sherwood, Mills & Smith for Robert Jahn as a speculative venture. It was the third demonstration house to be built using Durisol, and the first to employ the material in block form for its exterior walls. The first two houses were built in New York the previous year. The house was purchased in 1950 by Danish furniture designer Jens Risom for use by his family. The house appeared in several design magazines in the 1950s which featured his work. His family remained in the house until 1959, when they moved to larger house elsewhere in New Canaan.</p><br>
<p>The Lakeview Village Historic District encompasses a historic World War I-era housing project on the east side of Bridgeport, Connecticut. Located northeast of Boston Avenue  and west of Lakeview Cemetery, the development was built in 1918–20 to provide emergency housing for an influx of workers to the city&#39;s war production industries, and is a good early example of a Garden City movement subdivision. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Lakeview Village is located on Bridgeport&#39;s East Side, occupying 21 acre on a collection of streets between Boston Avenue and Lakeview Cemetery. The development includes 93 residences, including detached single-family and duplex residences, as well as a series of rowhouses. All are built of red brick, and share a common architecture vocabulary of Colonial Revival styling, with recurring similarities in choice of roof shape, door and window orientation and placement, and the type of sheltering of the main entrance.</p><br>
<p>Lakeview Village was designed by an architectural collaboration which included R. Clipston Sturgis, Arthur Shurtleff, and Andrew Hepburn. Originally called the Mill Green Housing Project, it was built by the United States Housing Corporation in 1918–20, to provide housing for workers in the nearby war-related industries. One of the objectives of these housing projects was to provide high-quality housing in an attractive yet urban setting to attract and retain the needed workers. The master plan, whose elements are still evident in the landscape, follow the precepts of the Garden City movement.</p><br>
<p>Cranbury Park is the largest public park in Norwalk, Connecticut. It is located in northern Norwalk, on the former Gallaher Estate, a 227 acre country estate developed in the 1920s by Edward Beach Gallaher, an important figure in the early American automobile industry. The parks amenities include miles of walking trails, a picnic pavilion, a disc golf course, and the Carriage House Arts Center, located in the estates former carriage house. The park was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2011.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Edward Gallaher was a New Jersey-born mechanical engineer who was a prolific inventor and founder of the Keystone Motor Company of Philadelphia. In 1910 he moved to Norwalk, and in 1917 began acquiring land for a country estate, including a large farm property that had until recent years housed a private sanitorium. The main estate house was built in 1929–1931 to a design by Percy Fowler. It is a fine example of Tudor Revival architecture built out of Indiana limestone. Also built at the time were the carriage house, garden house, and pump house. It was built by the Matthews Company, a major builder in the New York/New Jersey area, and the main house resembles that of the company&#39;s owner William R. Matthews.</p><br>
<p>The estate remained in the Gallaher family until his wifes death in 1965. She bequeathed the entire estate to Gallahers alma mater, the Stevens Institute of Technology. The institute eventually gave the property to the city, which opened it as a public park.</p><br>
<p>Linwood Borough School No. 1, also known as the Leedsville Schoolhouse, is a former one-room schoolhouse built in 1873 and located at 16 West Poplar Avenue in the city of Linwood in Atlantic County, New Jersey. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on December 20, 1984 for its significance in architecture and education. The Linwood Historical Society now uses the building as a museum.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The community was known as Leedsville until 1880. The first school was built, a log Quaker Meeting House. The second was built 1843 and known as the Leeds Ville Academy. The third and current building was built in 1873. It was used as an elementary school from 1873 to 1908. It later served as the Linwood municipal hall until 1965, when it was converted for use as the city library.</p><br>
<p>Salter&#39;s Mill is a historic gristmill built and located at 33 Imlaystown Road in the Imlaystown section of Upper Freehold Township in Monmouth County, New Jersey. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on September 29, 1980, for its significance in agriculture, architecture, and exploration/settlement. The mill is next to a 28 acre mill pond, which was also used in the ice business. In 1985, it was also listed as a contributing property of the Imlaystown Historic District.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>A 17th century mill was built here by Richard Salter. It was badly damaged by a fire in 1897 and the current mill was built soon afterwards. The two and one-half story frame building has a horizontal turbine wheel. The mill was later owned by the Imlay family, namesake of the community. The last owner was the Golden family, who closed mill operations in 1962.</p><br>
<p>Richard Salter&#39;s daughter, Hannah, married Mordecai Lincoln, who were great-great-grandparents of Abraham Lincoln.</p><br>
<p>The Elinor and Sherman Ford House is a historic house at 55 Talmadge Hill Road in New Canaan, Connecticut. Built in 1952 for the parents of architect Russell Ford, the house is a good local example of Mid-Century Modern architecture. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2010.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Ford House is located in southern New Canaan, in a residential setting on the north side of Tallmadge Hill Road west of Mansfield Avenue. The house is set on a landscaped 5.2 acre, accompanied by a period guesthouse and pool house. The main house is a low single-story structure, built with a wood frame and clad in a combination of floor-to-ceiling glass, vertical board siding painted a dark brown, and fieldstone which sometimes extends into stone walls on the property. It is divided into three sections, with wings on the east and west sides of the main block, each having a roof line slightly higher than the main block. The east side of the house is more private, while the west side features more glass in order to engage the outside living spaces of the landscaping.</p><br>
<p>The house was built in 1952-54 for Elinor and Sherman Ford, the parents of architect Russell Ford, who was a partner in the firm Gates and Ford that designed it. It is one of five houses in New Canaan designed by the firm. The house was built on the site of a farmhouse which stood on the property when the Fords purchased it in 1940. The landscaping of the property, completed in 1963, was designed by Fride Stege, one of the few known female landscape designers working in independent practice at the time.</p><br>
<p>The Marina Park Historic District encompasses the finest collection of high-style late 19th-century residential architecture in the city of Bridgeport, Connecticut. Extending along Park Avenue between Seaside Park and Atlantic Avenue, this area was home to Bridgeport&#39;s industrial and civic leaders, and was developed by city booster P.T. Barnum. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Marina Park development is located in the South End of Bridgeport, an area now largely taken up by the campus of the University of Bridgeport. The historic district is a small surviving area of a much larger development initiated by P.T. Barnum, who engineered the acquisition of Seaside Park for the city, and built his own residences (neither standing anymore) in the area. In the 1880s he subdivided his 30 acre estate known as Waldemere, selling off parcels for construction of a series of high-style residences. Many of these have since been demolished, mostly as part of the urban renewal that resulted in the construction of the university campus. A significant number of the surviving buildings are now owned by the university and used for a variety of purposes.</p><br>
<p>The houses that were built are in a variety of styles popular in the late 19th and early 20th century. The earliest of them is a fine example of the Queen Anne style, while there are several Shingle style houses. A notable exception is the Albert Erslew House at 257 Park Avenue, which is an International style house built in 1938 to a design by Franklin Jenkins Wallace. Credit for designing Barnum&#39;s subdivision has been given to George W. Longstaff, a prominent local architect.</p><br>
<p>The Palace Theater and the Majestic Theater are a pair of historic performance and film venues at 1315-1357 Main Street in downtown Bridgeport, Connecticut. Built in 1921-22 by Sylvester Z. Poli in a single building that also housed a hotel, they were in their heyday a posh and opulent sight, designed by noted theater architect Thomas W. Lamb. The building has stood vacant and decaying since the 1970s, despite repeated attempts to restore its grandeur. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Palace/Majestic building is located at the northern end of Bridgeport&#39;s downtown area, its main facade occupying an entire block of Main Street between Congress and Arch Streets. It is a five-story building, built out of steel and reinforced concrete, with an elegant Beaux Arts exterior. The exterior is a combination of brick and concrete finished to resemble granite on the main facade, and mainly brick on the other sides. The interior is organized with the hotel in the front portion of the building, and the theaters side by side in the rear. The Palace Theater, on the left, has an original seating capacity of 3700, while the Majestic seated 2600.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The complex was the inspiration of theater mogul Sylvester Z. Poli, who built a chain of vaudeville theaters across the northeastern United States in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Poli hired the well-known theater architect Thomas W. Lamb, then at his creative peak, to design the structure. The theater bears some resemblance to another Poli/Lamb collaboration, the Palace Theater in Waterbury, Connecticut, also completed in 1922. The hotel built on top of the theaters was originally intended to cater to the traveling shows that played there and others associated with the performers. The theaters originally showed live vaudeville performance, but eventually transitioned to showing movies. The Palace was purchased by Loews in 1934, and was known for a time as "Loews Poli Theater".</p><br>
<p>When Bridgeport&#39;s factories began to close in the 1960s and 1970s, the fortunes of the complex declined, and both theaters closed in the 1970s. The Majestic in 1971 followed by the Palace in 1975. The entire building has stood vacant since then; there have been recurring efforts to restore it to its former glory.</p><br>
<p>The Ellen E. Ward Memorial Clock Tower  is a historic clock tower in the Village of Roslyn, Nassau County, New York. It is considered the symbol of Roslyn and appears on that village&#39;s official seal.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The clock tower was constructed in 1895 as a memorial to Ellen E. Ward (1826–1893), who was a prominent and active Roslyn resident best known for donating the historic horse trough located within the village. The tower was commissioned by Ward&#39;s children. The tower was designed by the firm of Lamb & Rich.</p><br>
<p>The clock tower was rehabilitated in the 1990s and 2000s, and for its centennial in 1995, the Town of North Hempstead sold the tower to the Village of Roslyn for $1. The rehabilitation efforts experienced delays in the 2000s due to various reasons, including trouble securing grant money from New York following the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. The rehabilitation efforts were finally completed after 11 years in 2006.</p><br>
<p>It is listed on both the National Register of Historic Places and on the New York State Register of Historic Places, and is a contributing property to the Main Street Historic District.</p><br>
<h2>Specifications</h2><br>
<p>Tower height: approximately 44 ft (although some sources claim it is approximately 55 feet (17 m))</p><br>
<p>Exterior materials: granite & sandstone</p><br>
<p>Clockworks manufacturer: Seth Thomas & Co.</p><br>
<p>Clock type: weight-driven</p><br>
<p>Bell weight: approximately 2,700 lbs</p><br>
<p>The Turner–Chew–Carhart Farm, also known as the Jockey Hollow Farm, is a historic 57 acre farm located off Van Syckles Road in Union Township, Hunterdon County, New Jersey and near Clinton. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on August 11, 1977, for its significance in agriculture, architecture, industry, and politics/government. The farmstead includes seven contributing buildings.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Joseph Turner (1701–1783) and William Allen (1704–1780), both from Philadelphia, built two iron forges in the area during the 1740s. The house was built for the nearby Union Forge and was intended as the residence for its superintendent. In 1784, Turner&#39;s niece, Elizabeth Oswald Chew, second wife of Benjamin Chew (1722–1810), inherited the farm. In 1833, Charles Carhart (1786–1863) purchased it from Samuel Chew.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The early 19th century farmhouse is a two and one-half story frame building with a gambrel roof attached to an 18th-century one and one-half story frame building. It shows a restrained Greek Revival style, such as the sidelights and transom for the front door. There is a dormer in the gambrel roof. The original 18th-century building was likely altered and expanded by Carhart.</p><br>
<h2>Museum</h2><br>
<p>In 2012, the Union Forge Heritage Association established the Solitude Heritage Museum in the farmhouse at 117 Van Syckles Road, named the 1760 Joseph Turner House.</p><br>
<p>The Forge Masters house for the Union Forge is also located nearby, off Van Syckles Road toward High Bridge.</p><br>
<p>The Park Apartments are a historic apartment building at 59 Rennell Street in Bridgeport, Connecticut. Built in 1916 during the First World War, it was the first development of the Bridgeport Housing Corporation, established to provide emergency housing for workers in the city&#39;s war-related industries. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Park Apartments stand in Bridgeport&#39;s South End, adjacent to the campus of the University of Bridgeport at the southwest corner of Atlantic and Rennell Streets. It is an H-shaped four-story brick building, set on a high foundation and covered by a flat roof obscured by a low parapet. Most windows are topped by capped cast-stone lintels; those on the fourth floor are capped by simpler lintels that lie just below the building cornice. A course of moulded cast stone separates the third and fourth floors. The main building entrance is flanked by Doric columns and topped by a fanlight.</p><br>
<p>The apartment house was built in 1916 under the auspices of the Bridgeport Housing Company, and was designed by local architect Herbert Lucas. It is believed to be the earliest extant example of a large-scale apartment building in the city. It was built to house workers in the citys war-related industries, and is reflective of what was the citys single largest period of growth.</p><br>
<p>St. Anthony&#39;s Catholic Church is a Catholic parish church in the Diocese of Des Moines located on the south side of Des Moines, Iowa, United States. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2021.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The first Italian immigrants arrived in Des Moines in the 1870s, with most arriving between 1880 and 1915. They followed the streetcar lines to areas south of the Raccoon River. Davenport Bishop Henry Cosgrove appointed the Rev. Francis Leonard to found St. Anthonys parish in 1898, but difficulties arose and the project came to an end. In 1906, Cosgrove assigned the Rev. Victor Romanelli to found the parish on Des Moines south side. Romanelli was a native of Naples and had served parishes in New York and New Jersey. He acquired an old fire station where he resided and where the parish&#39;s first Mass was celebrated on August 19. Property was acquired on Columbus Avenue and a small brick church was built there. The Rev. Michael Flavin, the pastor of St. Ambrose Church opposed the establishment of the parish and incorrectly insisted it was established as an Italian ethnic parish because he did not want to lose the parish territory or income.</p><br>
<p>The Nettleton-Cond House, also known as the Wells-Bryan House, is a single family home located at 260 South Washington Street in Constantine, Michigan. It was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 2021.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>This house was constructed in 1847 by Zelus Nettleton, at a location one lot south of its present location. Nettleton sold the house to John M. Wells in 1849, who lived there until 1853. In 1867, Charles Cond purchased the house and the lot adjacent (where the house stands now). At some point between 1874 and 1884m he moved the house to its present location. Cond willed the house to his son Louis after his death, who passed it on to his wife Katherine. In 1913, Katherine Cond sold the house.</p><br>
<p>The house changed hands frequently in the subsequent years, until 1972, when it was sold to Robert and Janet Miller. The Millers ran an antique</p><br>
<p>store in the house into the 1980s. In 1977, the house was listed in the Michigan State Register of Historic Sites as the "Wells-Bryan House." David and Angela Beegle purchased the property in 1997, living there until 2020. In 2021, it was sold to Arthur and Jenni Roberts.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The original part of the Nettleton-Cond House is a one-and-one-half story wood frame Greek Revival structure measuring 24 feet by 30 feet. Two one-story additions at the rear were constructed later in the 19th century. The façade of the house is three bays wide and asymmetrical, with the main entrance in the southernmost bay, reached by a small porch. The other two bays contain identical windows, with additional windows in the second floor above the first floor door and windows.</p><br>
<p>The corners of the house have wide wooden pilasters. Above the second floor is a cornice, with frieze and pediment above. The roof is shallow.</p><br>
<p>University Hall is the main academic building at the Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio. The building houses classrooms for several of the university&#39;s colleges and includes a museum on the ground floor.</p><br>
<p>The present-day University Hall is the second of its name on the site; the original was built in 1873 as the first permanent building for Ohio State, and the first instructional and administrative building. The original structure was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1970 and demolished in 1971. In 1976, it was replaced by a modern academic building that replicates the original&#39;s architecture.</p><br>
<h2>Attributes</h2><br>
<p>The original University Hall was designed in the High Victorian Gothic style by Jacob Snyder, a prominent architect from Akron, Ohio. It was the first academic building for an Ohio college to stray from the Yale Report of 1828, which directed buildings to be designed in classical styles. University Hall is considered a noteworthy prototype for the Collegiate Gothic style that followed.</p><br>
<p>Both the original and current building occupy a site on the northwestern corner of the Oval, the university&#39;s main quad.</p><br>
<h3>Exterior</h3><br>
<p>As originally built, the building had a five-story bell tower, altered twice before its demolition. The facade has three sections a primary section in the center, with east and west wings at the side. A clock tower is situated in the center of the building, directly above the main entrance.</p><br>
<h3>Interior</h3><br>
<p>The building originally featured wide corridors, along with offices and classrooms. It included of floor space. The first floor and east wing basement originally held student housing, while the west wing basement held the mechanical engineering department (later home to the print shop, which produced The Lantern). The basement also held a cafeteria and armory at its opening. Faculty housing was on the upper floors. Classrooms, a chapel, debate rooms, a geologic museum, and a library were maintained elsewhere in the building.</p><br>
<p>The building currently houses classrooms for the College of Arts and Sciences, Department of African American and African Studies (fourth floor), Department of Classics, Department of Philosophy (third floor), Department of Women&#39;s, Gender and Sexuality Studies, and The Graduate School (both on the second floor).</p><br>
<p>The current building also houses the University Museum, a free and public collection of memorabilia, photographs, and relics from the original building.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The original University Hall was constructed in 1873, a year later than anticipated due to issues transporting brick and limestone to the site.</p><br>
<p>In 1885, University Hall briefly housed the first state museum.</p><br>
<p>Throughout the original building&#39;s life, it hosted commencement ceremonies, as well as those for the Sphinx honor society and initiations for the Mortar Board and Chimes societies. The building was also host to two marriages, a birth, and three funerals.</p><br>
<p>In the 1960s, the building began to show a few signs of deterioration, including sagging floors in the north wing. University officials were concerned about a potential fire. The building was closed in May 1968. Ohio State considered just demolishing the un-original north wing, though eventually found it best to replace the entire building.</p><br>
<p>In 1970, University Hall was listed on the National Register of Historic Places, as part of the University, Hayes and Orton Halls nomination: one of three original structures remaining on the OSU campus, each with notable architectural and historical merits. The nominator, then director of the Ohio Historical Society, wished that the nomination would certify the buildings significance, as part of the fight against its proposed demolition. After being closed in 1968 for safety reasons, the building was slated for demolition in 1970, while serving as a symbol for the universitys centennial that year. It was completely torn down in 1971. The building was removed from the register in that year. The register nomination completed in 1970 claimed the building was in good shape, with little sign of settling walls or rotting timber, with the only unsafe portion a rear auditorium addition dating to the early 20th century.</p><br>
<p>The current University Hall was reconstructed in its place, taking a similar exterior appearance to the original building (including retaining the prior building&#39;s tower clock, entranceway arch, and pillars</p><br>
<p>The Louviers Village Club, in Louviers, Colorado, was built in 1917 and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1995.</p><br>
<p>It was built by E.I. du Pont de Nemours and Company to serve as a community building in the company town of Louviers. It is a U-shaped building, built in Craftsman style.</p><br>
<p>It was deemed significant for NRHP listing "for its association with the explosive industrys contribution to the development of the West, social history as illustrated by the company town movement, and for the information it provides regarding entertainment and recreation in the early Twentieth Century. During the Nineteenth and early Twentieth Centuries, E. I. du Pont de Nemours and Company pioneered the development and manufacture of explosives in the United States. Business was brisk for the Du Pont Powder Company by the early Twentieth Century, when dynamite products were in great demand for use in mining and in railroad, tunnel and road construction. Du Pont, the nations leading supplier of explosives at the time, was unable to fill all of the orders for its products. In order to expand its production capabilities, Du Pont sought new sites for the establishment of explosives plants. The company was particularly desirous of locating a plant in the Rocky Mountain region due to the fact that there were then no sources for explosives closer than the West Coast or the Mississippi River. In 1906, Du Pont procured a site on Plum Creek adjacent to the Denver and Rio Grande Railroad line. First called "Toluca" after a station on the line, the name was quickly changed to "Louviers" after the ancestral home in France of the DuvPont family. Dynamite production at Louviers began in 1908, with over a half million pounds produced the first year. By 1951, "Louviers Works", as the plant was called, produced over two million pounds of dynamite per month and employed 230 workers. In 1971, after the production of an estimated one billion pounds of dynamite, the company shifted emphasis to production of PETN and a new emulsion explosive product. Operations at the plant ceased in the early 1980s. The plant facilities were extensively modified over time in keeping with technological advances, and are still maintained by Du Pont on a care taking basis. Du Pont retains ownership of the majority of land immediately surrounding the town of Louviers."</p><br>
<p>The EM Ranch is a site of springs that was homesteaded and became a hay, cattle and sheep ranch in Park County, Colorado near Hartsel, Colorado. Established in 1874, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002. It is now known as Santa Maria Ranch.</p><br>
<p>EM Ranch was renamed the Santa Maria Ranch in the 1950s. The new name refers to the Santa Maria Springs that are located on the ranch property. It is a site of historical significance as an agricultural complex. It is located 3.4 miles from the town of Hartsel, approximately 500 feet to the north of the South Platte River&#39;s Middle Fork. The elevation of the ranch is 8,900 feet.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The ranch was established as a homestead in 1874 by Hardy Epperson; later H.P. Epperson operated the ranch. It is a significant example of historical ranch life in South Park, Colorado. The main period of significance is from 1874 to 1948.</p><br>
<p>The 2,320 acre site of the ranch complex has open vistas, grazing lands and large meadows that are typical of the ranches in the area. The Santa Maria Spring is located near the river 500 feet to the northwest of the main cluster of buildings in the complex.</p><br>
<p>The ranch complex includes various buildings with dedicated utilitarian and domestic purposes. All structures are log-constructed or wood frame in construction. The draft horse barn was built from hand-hewn timber in a post-and-beam configuration. Other buildings include a livestock shed and scale house surrounded by a metal corral.</p><br>
<p>The main Victorian-era vernacular ranchhouse was log-constructed between the 1870s and 1880. It is one-and-a-half stories high with a gabled roof. It has an L-shaped floor plan. The total area of the home, inclusive of both stories, is 2,790 square feet. There are seven brick chimneys. Off the main bedroom on the first floor, there is a small room with a well, and a small warm spring.</p><br>
<p>Near the main house is a wood-frame bunkhouse, a blacksmith shop, modern wooden equipment shed, frame-built chicken coop, a well house and two outhouses. Set aside from the main cluster of buildings are a log cabin and associated outhouse. Parts of the historical ranch structures have modern additions; they are they have been kept up well, and are in "good to fair" condition. The site also includes the foundations of buildings that had burned or fallen down in the past.</p><br>
<p>An oral history was recorded in 2002 of Maurice Ownbey who one of the ranch hands who worked at the ranch from 1939 to 1944. In the interview he described how "big city gangsters would pay farmers and ranchers several hundred dollars per month to set up and operate hidden distilleries on their land." He described the illegal whiskey-making process that took place on the ranch.</p><br>
<h3>Santa Maria warm spring</h3><br>
<p>The hydrothermal warm spring is located near the main cluster of structures, about 500 feet from the ranchhouse. The spring water emerges form the source at 78 &deg;F. The spring was mainly used for bathing and watering stock. It is enclosed in a structure built from a 36 inch-diameter metal pipe set into the source of the spring for an unknown depth. It was described as being 40 feet deep in an article published by the Fairplay Flume newspaper, that also noted that H.P. Epperson was doing work to improve the flow of the spring. There were also improvements to maintain the warm temperature by insuring that the geothermally heated water did not mix with the water from nearby cold springs. A 1912 article mentioned that there was a bathhouse on site.</p><br>
<h3>Location</h3><br>
<p>The Ranch Complex is located on County Road 439, Park County, Colorado near Hartsel, Colorado.</p><br>
