<p>The J. K. Apgar Farmhouse is a historic stone house located at the intersection of County Route 512  and Guinea Hollow Road in the borough of Califon in Hunterdon County, New Jersey. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on November 1, 1979, for its significance in architecture.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The J. K. Apgar Farmhouse was constructed in two major sections. The oldest section of the house was built in the 18th century, and the original owner and architect are unknown. The newer part of the house was constructed by J.K. Apgar in 1833. The house exemplifies the stone farmhouses constructed in Hunterdon County during this time period. The house is also notable for its unusually placed windows on its western face; locals referred to it as the "cock-eyed house" due to the way the two windows align with the roof pitch. At the time of its nomination, it was one of the five oldest extant buildings in Califon. The nomination form noted that some modern elements had been added to the farmhouse and its grounds; there were a few modern outbuildings, and a one-story wing was added to the farmhouse in the 1970s.</p><br>
<p>Inspiration Point Wayside Rest is a state highway wayside rest located along Minnesota State Highway 16 southwest of Lanesboro, Fillmore County, Minnesota. Minnesotan architect Arthur R. Nichols designed the wayside and it was built between 1934 and 1937 by the Minnesota Department of Transportation  and the Civilian Conservation Corps. Major renovation work was undertaken that same year to restore degrading masonry and clear invasive buckthorn that had blocked several of the wayside&#39;s viewpoints.</p><br>
<h2>History and design</h2><br>
<p>The Inspiration Point Wayside Rest was one of thousands of infrastructure projects completed during the Great Depression by New Deal Agencies. President Franklin Delano Roosevelt created the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) through Executive Order 6106-A in April 1933, and the CCC had over 60 camps in Minnesota by the following August. Fourteen more were operated in coordination with the Minnesota Conservation Department (now the Minnesota DNR) to address drought and erosion control in southeast Minnesota. This included Camp SCS-7 / PE-91 / 751 in Lanesboro, which was responsible for the construction of Inspiration Point Wayside Rest in 1934 according to the Fillmore County Historical Society. Gemini Research claims the property was instead built by workers paid by the Federal/State Emergency Relief Administration (FERA/SERA).</p><br>
<p>Inspiration Point was one of the first rest areas Arthur R. Nichols designed under commission of the Minnesota Highway Department.</p><br>
<p>The wayside rest is located atop Duschee Hill, one of the largest hills in the region, and its surrounding terrain consists of pronounced hills and ravines. Predominant local land uses include natural oak and hardwood forests – which were incorporated into the site&#39;s original design – as well as tilled fields and pastureland.</p><br>
<h2>Restoration efforts</h2><br>
<p>In the early 2010s, MnDOT conducted condition assessments and background research on Inspiration Point in preparation for a National Register of Historic Places listing application. The renovation focused mostly on restoring the masonry of the stone walls and on clearing the buckthorn that had obscured the Point&#39;s views of the surrounding valley.</p><br>
<p>Mechlins Corner Tavern, also known as Peter Mechlings Corner Tavern, is a historic building located at the intersection of County Route 625  and County Route 579  in the Mechlings Corner, New Jersey section of Union Township, Hunterdon County, New Jersey and near Pittstown. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on November 1, 1974, for its significance in architecture and commerce.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>There was a tavern at this site, then owned by Jonathan Robeson, in 1752 or earlier. The nearby Van Syckels Tavern dates to 1763. The current building was likely built by Peter Mechling. He retired in 1844 and sold the tavern to his son William Mechling. In 1890, William deeded it to his son Hiram Mechling. Hirams death in 1934 ended tavern operation. It is now a private home.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The tavern is an example of Greek Revival architecture. The main part of the tavern is a two and one-half story frame building with a gable roof. It has a one and one-half story extension. The porch has four large square columns.</p><br>
<p>Evergreen Cemetery is an active cemetery at Evergreen and Cottage Streets in Medway, Massachusetts. Founded in 1750, it is one of the community&#39;s oldest cemeteries, with burials including many of its early families, as well as veterans of the American Revolutionary War and American Civil War. It also houses the burial of Joseph Barbur Jr., a regionally prominent funerary stone carver. The cemetery was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2021.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>Evergreen Cemetery is located in south central Medway, occupying about 13 acre bounded on the north by Evergreen Street and the east by Cottage Street. The principal drive through the cemetery runs north–south through the center, roughly paralleling a brook that ends in a pond near the center of the cemetery. The brook separates the oldest portion of the cemetery (on its west side) from most of its later sections. The oldest portion is located on a small hill, with mainly slate grave markers. The later eastern section is generally flat and subdivided into rectangular grids. The newest section is located south of the oldest, accessed via a causeway crossing the southern part of the pond.</p><br>
<p>The cemetery was founded in 1750 by the western precinct of Medway (whose eastern precinct is now the town of Millis). The initial half-acre parcel of land was purchased from Henry Guernsey. Over the course of the 19th century, the cemetery was expanded multiple times, reaching its present size in 1876. Prominent structures in the cemetery include the Jackson family mausoleum, and the maintenance cottage; the latter is a fine example of Italianate architecture. The old section of the cemetery includes at least 50 stones known to have been carved by the regionally prominent stone carver Joseph Barbur Jr., who is also interred there.</p><br>
<p>The Terrell-Sadler House near Eatonton, Georgia was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000. It is located at 122 Harmony Road.</p><br>
<p>The house was built about 1855 and included 700 acres of land. It is listed as an outstanding example of a Greek Revival-style plantation house.</p><br>
<p>William D. Terrell (1810-1875) was probably born in Putnam County. He married Mary Sadler in 1855. He had few possessions before his marriage. In 1855 he owned 700 acres of land and had 20 slaves. By 1860 the main house, five houses for the slaves, a house for the cotton gin, a carriage house, and barns had been constructed.</p><br>
<p>At the time of the American Civil War, Terrell was too old for military service but served in the Home Guard. In November, 1864, Gen. William T. Sherman of the USA Army was on his March to the Sea. Shermans 14th Corps, going from Madison, Georgia to Eatonton, camped at the plantation for one day. Shermans soldiers burned the cotton gin and the packing screw, destroyed other farm equipment, stole the mules and horses, killed the chickens, and took six slaves. The house was not destroyed.</p><br>
<p>By 1880, their only son, Richmond, managed the plantation. Farming operations declined. Land was sold to pay debts and he had only 25 acres of cotton plants, which produced only 8 bales of cotton. Richmond mortgaged the remaining 500-acre farm and it was eventually foreclosed.</p><br>
<p>The Saint Josephs Home for Working Girls is an historic social services building at 52 High Street in downtown Worcester, Massachusetts. Completed in 1924, it was operated for many years as a home for needy women by the Sisters of Mercy. Since 2009 it has been home to Abbys House, which continues the same mission. The building, designed by Edward Fitzgerald, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2021.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The former Saint Josephs Home for Working Girls is located southwest of Worcesters central common, on the west side of High Street between Austin and Chatham Streets. It is located near the Roman Catholic Cathedral of Saint Paul, a parish with which it was historically associated. The building is a five-story masonry structure, finished in brick and stone in the Georgial Revival style. A utilitarian annex extends west from the main block. The building is noted architecturally for its little-altered exterior, and its well-preserved interior features.</p><br>
<p>The Sisters of Mercy, an Irish Catholic religious order founded in 1831, established the Saint Josephs Home in 1895, operating from tenement houses on this site in which they had operated an orphanage since 1875. In 1924, the tenement houses were demolished and the present edifice constructed. It was designed by Edward Fitzgerald, who also designed other buildings for the Roman Catholic church in Worcester. The Sisters operated the facility until June 2009, when it was sold to the Abby Kelley Foster House, Inc., which continues to operate it as a womens shelter.</p><br>
<p>The Wagon Wheel Gap Hot Springs Resort, near Creede, Colorado, is the historic name of what is now a dude ranch, the 4UR Ranch. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2019. Of 26 buildings on the property, 14 were deemed to be contributing to the historic character of the listed area, and there were 4 contributing structures and a contributing object.</p><br>
<p>It was originally developed in the 1870s, with soaking pools and relatively simple lodging. The Wagon Wheel Gap Improvement Company bought the property in the 1890s and made improvements during 1902-05 which established a "rustic character". Artifacts include a dinner bell cast in about 1949.</p><br>
<p>It is located about 8 mi southeast of Creede, and about 1.5 mi south of Wagon Wheel Gap, on the eastern edge of the Creede Caldera. It may be accessed by a dirt road, Goose Creek Road, which runs 1 mi south from Colorado State Highway 149 to the ranch, which is on the west side of Goose Creek, a tributary to the upper Rio Grande. Further south on the road is the Wagon Wheel Gap Fluospar Mine and Mill, on the east side of Goose Creek, which was also listed on the National Register in 2019.</p><br>
<p>The Case-Dvoor Farmstead, or simply the Dvoor Farm, is a farm located on a 40 acre farm at 111 Mine Street in Raritan Township, near Flemington, of Hunterdon County, New Jersey. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on December 11, 2009, for its significance in agriculture and architecture. It is now the headquarters of the Hunterdon Land Trust.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In 1738, Johan Philip Kaes (Case), who had emigrated from German Palatinate to the Americas, purchased a 374-acre tract of land in western New Jersey from the sons of William Penn. After Johans death, the land was divided among his descendants, and his son Philip Case eventually acquired the portion that would become the Case-Dvoor farmstead. In 1798, Johans son Philip built a farmhouse, which was constructed in Georgian style by local mason William Connor. The Case family retained the property until 1860, at which time a court ordered that the property be sold to pay his debts. The property changed hands several times until it was purchased by Jacob Dvoor in 1920. Dvoor established a stock farm specializing in horses and dairy cows, and his brothers joined him in this operation. Jacob Dvoor made many improvements to the farm, including construction of the large horse barn in 1930. The Dvoor family was well-regarded for their agricultural contributions to the area&#39;s economy. In 1999, Herbert Dvoor, the last of the brothers maintaining the farm, sold the farmstead tract to the South Branch Watershed Association, which granted the farmstead and its surrounding acres to the Hunterdon Land Trust Alliance.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>In the 19th and 20th centuries, the farmhouse was altered with Victorian and Colonial revival elements, but it still exhibits much of its original Georgian style. The farmstead also includes a variety of outbuildings constructed in the 19th and 20th centuries, which provide an important record of the area&#39;s agricultural history. Structures included in the National Register of Historic Places listing are the house, two barns, wagon house/garage, office, equipment shed, and well.</p><br>
<p>Charline McCombs Empire Theatre is a performing arts venue in San Antonio, Texas, United States. It hosts a variety of live events — such as comedy shows, music concerts, children&#39;s theater, classic productions — and it is also open for private events. It is listed in the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Charline McCombs Empire Theatre was established as Empire Theatre in 1913 where the Rische Opera House once stood. Thomas Brady hired Mauran, Russell & Crowell, an architectural firm from St. Louis, to design the theater. It originally operated as a vaudeville house and later as a movie house.</p><br>
<p>The Empire was considered as one of the most modern theatres in Texas. Brady ensured that the theatre utilized state-of-the-art lighting system, acoustics, motion pictures and stage equipment. The theatre&#39;s walls were decorated with ornamental medallions and intricate paintings with 23-carat gold leafing.</p><br>
<p>A deluge devastated the Empire Theatre in 1921. The 9 foot flood damaged the interiors and Brady struggled to restore the Empire. He resorted to covering the walls with thick layers of white paint. The Empire still managed to boom in the 1920s. Hollywood&#39;s biggest stars, Charlie Chaplin, Lon Chaney and Mae West, visited the place to promote their films.</p><br>
<p>The Empire Theatre, however, eventually declined. It turned to a B-movie house and later served adult films until it shut down in 1978.</p><br>
<p>The city of San Antonio bought the decaying theatre in 1987. There was a cooperation with Las Casas Foundation to raise funds and revive the Empire. Charline McCombs, a native businesswoman, donated $1 million. It was renamed as Charline McCombs Empire Theatre as a tribute. The grand reopening was held in 1998 and Kenny Rogers was the first performer.</p><br>
<p>The Charline McCombs Empire Theatre was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.</p><br>
<p>The Glen Gardner Pony Pratt Truss Bridge is a historic pony Pratt truss bridge on School Street  crossing the Spruce Run in Glen Gardner of Hunterdon County, New Jersey. It was designed by Francis C. Lowthorp and built in 1870 by William Cowin of Lambertville, New Jersey. The bridge was added to the National Register of Historic Places on September 22, 1977 for its significance in engineering, industry and transportation. It is one of the few early examples of iron Pratt truss bridges remaining in the United States. It was later documented by the Historic American Engineering Record in 1991.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Glen Gardner bridge is one of three remaining composite cast iron and wrought iron Pratt truss bridges built by Cowin in New Jersey. The others are the New Hampton Pony Pratt Truss Bridge (1868) in New Hampton and the Main Street Bridge (1870) in Clinton. The single-span bridge is 84 feet long and 16.6 feet wide. It features a pedestrian walkway with a decorative cast-iron railing.</p><br>
<p>The Fairmont Creamery building located in Moorhead, Minnesota was constructed in 1923 for its proximity to the railroad and opened soon after in 1924. The local Fairmont was important to the community through its use of cream checks, checks distributed to farmers who sold their cream, and also its food production for the government during World War II. In 1947, the Fairmont Creamery Company rebranded to "Fairmont Foods" as they broadened their range from mostly milk-based products. Later, in 1980, the Moorhead Fairmont Foods was sold to Cass-Clay Creamery, a subsidiary of American Financial Corporation of Cincinnati, Ohio, and the next year, it was closed. Shortly after, Anderson-Jordhal turned it into a senior living facility.</p><br>
<h2>Fairmont Creamery/Fairmont Foods</h2><br>
<p>In 1924, the Fairmont Creamery was opened in Moorhead next to the city&#39;s railroad. The Fairmont Creamery Company, founded in 1884 with its headquarters in Omaha, Nebraska and locations across the United States, found the Moorhead location unique for its experimental farm, which raised Guernsey cows which were experimented upon with extremely well-maintained records. The farm also raised turkeys that were experimentally fed flaked buttermilk; many local flocks of turkeys in Moorhead can still trace their ancestry to the Fairmont turkeys.</p><br>
<p>Beyond the experimental farm, the Fairmont Creamery had local significance as well. Fairmont heavily advertized, including its ability to pay farmers "cream checks." In newspapers such as The Concordian, the Concordia College newspaper, they advertised with slogans such as "Let Fairmonts better butter, butter your bread," "Ring for Fairmont," and "Let your cows and Fairmonts checks pay all your bills." This last slogan is a reference to the cream checks that farmers received for selling their cream to Fairmont. Between 1924, the year it opened, and 1929, 12,325,000 cream checks (roughly 205,416 a month) were given to farmers. These were extremely valuable form of income, particularly during the 1930s.</p><br>
<p>During World War II, the Moorhead Fairmont was contracted by the government to make food products including eggs, poultry, and dried eggs. In 1943, the location was rewarded an Army-Navy "E" Award for its outstanding contribution. This was a moment of great pride for the community as the government recognized the work of Moorhead, as such, there was a celebration for the Fairmont Creamery. Shortly after, the Fairmont Creamery Company changed their name to "Fairmont Foods" to reflect the newly broadened inventory.</p><br>
<p>In 1980, Fairmont Foods Co. decided to merge with a subsidiary of another business, the American Financial Corporation of Cincinnati, Ohio. In turn, all Fairmont Foods locations either were sold or closed completely.</p><br>
<h2>Senior Living Facility</h2><br>
<p>Cass-Clay sold the building to Anderson-Jordhal Development in 1981, almost immediately after purchasing it. On December 29, 1982, Anderson-Jordhal added Fairmont to the National Register of Historic Places for tax purposes. Soon after, the company started remodeling the building to turn it into a senior living facility.</p><br>
<p>In 1987, the building was purchased by Bethany Retirement Living. They kept the building until 1994, when they sold it to Eventide: Senior Living Communities. Eventide remodeled areas of the Fairmont over the next year, including the front and rear entrances, lobby, lounge, and created a storage shed. Eventide kept the "Fairmont Creamery" writing located on the exterior and even referred to the specific location as the "Eventide Fairmont."</p><br>
<p>On July 7, 2021, Eventide announced the closure of the retirement home, and that they planned to move all residents. While Eventide had already planned on closing the Fairmont, the process was expedited by significant water damage from a pipe leak. Eventide sold the building with hopes of preserving the historical aspects that remained.</p><br>
<p>The Vickers House, on Louisiana Highway 15 in the rural Richland Parish, Louisiana community of Alto, Louisiana, was built around 1870. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.</p><br>
<p>It is Greek Revival in style; its gallery along the front of the house has six Tuscan order columns.</p><br>
<p>Its interior woodwork of mantels and doors, etc., is almost all false-grained (painted to resemble wood grain).</p><br>
<p>It is significant as the most important historical architectural work in Richland Parish. As noted in 1986 the house:is easily the most important historic building known to exist in Richland Parish. No survey exists for the parish, but the State Historic Preservation Office staff is familiar with the area, having tried on and off for several years to, find Register eligible properties. (Until recently Richland was the only parish without a Register listing.) The parishs patrimony is characterized almost entirely by ordinary bungalows, plain cottages, and pedestrian commercial buildings. The only known exceptions are two early twentieth century bank buildings and the Vickers House. Taken within this context, the Vickers House is of immense architectural importance on the local level. It is the parishs only intact example of the Greek Revival style. (The only other example is a very plain, greatly altered country Greek Revival church.) The Vickers House is also a noteworthy Greek Revival residence for reasons other than rarity. Its impressive front gallery, aedicule motif fenestration, false graining, and overall intactness would establish it as an important example in any parish in northern Louisiana, and most certainly in Richland Parish.</p><br>
<p>The Gillespie-Selden Historic District is a historic district in Cordele, Georgia which was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.</p><br>
<p>The district is 42 acre in size and includes 87 contributing buildings, two contributing structures, and a contributing site. The area is southwest of the downtown of Cordele, and is roughly bounded on the north by the CSX Railroad tracks and 13th Avenue, on the east by 11th St., on the south by 16th Ave. (USA Route 280), and on the west by 15th St.</p><br>
<p>In 2022, work began on a housing development in the historic district with the hope of revitalizing the neighborhood. The development, named "Gillespie Gardens", is aimed at tenants living at less than 60% of the region&#39;s median income.</p><br>
<p>The former school and hospital building now houses a community center.</p><br>
<p>Oak Hill Cemetery is a cemetery in Newnan, Coweta County, Georgia. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on January 27, 2012. It is located at 96 Jefferson Street in Newnan.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Oak Hill Cemetery was founded in 1833. 268 Confederate Army soldiers are buried at Oak Hill and two are labeled as "Unknown". The cemetery covers 60 acre and has over 12,000 gravesites.</p><br>

<p>The Isaac Davis and Marion Dalton Hall House is a historic house at 25 Lambert Road in New Canaan, Connecticut. Built in 1962 for a local lawyer, it is one of two houses in the community designed by local architect William F. Pederson, and is part of its significant collection 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 Hall House is located in a suburban residential setting north of the village center of New Canaan, on the south side of Lambert Road just east of Oenoke Ridge. It is a basically single-story frame structure, set on a gently sloping hillside that exposes a full basement level on the northeast side. The house is basically rectangular in form, with an interior courtyard separating the garage from the main house, which are connected by covered breezeways. The exterior is finished with vertical tongue-in-groove boards, with extensive use of glass on the private northern southern elevations. It is covered by a flat roof. The interior retains many period finishes, including oak floors, exposed roof beams, and builtin cabinetry.</p><br>
<p>The house was built in 1962 for Isaac Davis Hall, a local lawyer, and his wife Marion Dalton Hall. It was designed by William F. Pederson, a local architect best known for doing commercial and institutional designs; this house and one other in New Canaan are his only known residential designs in Connecticut. The Hall family lived in the house for fifteen years, and one of the couple&#39;s daughters was married on the property.</p><br>
<p>The David Perry House is a historic house at 531 Lafayette Street in Bridgeport, Connecticut. Built in 1826, it is the only known Federal period dwelling extant within the historic bounds of Bridgeport&#39;s original village center. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The David Perry House stands at the southern fringe of Bridgeport&#39;s downtown area, near the northwest corner of Lafayette Street and Railroad Avenue. It is a -story wood-frame structure, with a clapboarded exterior and a side gable roof pierced by an off-center brick chimney. Its main facade is three bays wide, with the main entrance in the rightmost bay, sheltered by a gabled porch supported by round columns. Sash windows occupy the other bays, which are irregularly spaced; the upper-level windows have headers with projecting cornices. The south-facing side elevation is four bays wide, with a half-oval window in the gable end.</p><br>
<p>The house was built in 1826 for David Perry, a local businessman active in the city&#39;s whaling industry. The house was originally located nearer the waterfront, where Perry had several docks devoted to his business. Perry was apparently ultimately unsuccessful in whaling; his business was already in decline when his wharves and warehouses were destroyed by fire in 1845. The house was moved to its present location in 1871, when the waterfront property it occupied was slated for construction of a new factory. It was then used as a tenement for lower-income workers for many years.</p><br>
<p>The Hobbs Building is a historic commercial building at 2-4 North River Street in Aurora, Illinois. Albert Hobbs, a businessman and local civic leader, had the building constructed in 1895 for his furniture and undertaking businesses. Architect James E. Minott gave the building a Richardsonian Romanesque design which incorporated elements of the Queen Anne style. The four-story building has a five-sided turret on its front corner and several multi-story bay windows on its street-facing facades; the turret was originally topped by an onion dome. The building&#39;s design also includes arched windows with decorative brickwork, limestone windowsills and lintels, and ornamental terra cotta. Hobbs operated his furniture store in the building until his death in 1926; the building has had several owners since then, most of them other stores, but has been vacant since 1990.</p><br>
<p>In 2019 JH Real Estate purchased the building and completely renovated it. In 2022 they welcomed their first residents.</p><br>
<p>The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on June 17, 2021.</p><br>
<p>For a 1910 Fourth of July Celebration, a man jumped off the top of the dome into a 6ft pool of water.</p><br>
<p>The Karnofsky Tailor Shop–House  was a historic, two-story building in the Central Business District of New Orleans, Louisiana, that played a significant role in the early promotion of jazz when the neighborhood was known as "Back of Town". It was destroyed by Hurricane Ida in 2021.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The building was built around 1910. The Karnofsky family lived upstairs and owned a secondhand store and later a tailor shop on the first floor. The Karnofskys took in a young Louis Armstrong, gave him a job, and encouraged him to become a musician. Later, Morris Karnofsky, Armstrongs boyhood friend, opened Morris Music, the citys first jazz record store. Armstrong moved away in 1921 but continued to visit the shop.</p><br>
<p>Model Tailors moved into the building after the Karnofskys moved out. The building sat abandoned for years, while several plans to restore the building and surrounding neighborhood were unsuccessful. On October 16, 2002, the building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places. As of 2019, it was slated to be restored, possibly for conversion into a nightclub. However, it collapsed on August 29, 2021, when Hurricane Ida swept through the city as a category 4 storm.</p><br>
<p>The Remington City Historic District encompasses a World War I-era housing development in northeastern Bridgeport, Connecticut. Bounded by Stewart, Tudor, and Bond Streets, and Palisade Avenue, the area was developed by the Remington Arms company to attract workers to its nearby munitions factory. The complex is a well-preserved example of wartime housing in the city, and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Remington City is located in northeastern Bridgeport, forming a densely built residential enclave in what is now a mixed-use residential/commercial/industrial area. It is located a short way northeast of the former Remington Arms factory site, now the location of Warren Harding High School. The north–south roads in the district, Bond, Dover, and Remington Streets, are all lined with a mixture of duplexes and rowhouses, with a small number of interspersed single-family dwellings. All three stricts exhibit a similar rhythm in the layout and construction of these buildings, which all feature predominantly brick construction and Colonial Revival features. Palisade Avenue, which forms the area&#39;s eastern boundary, includes three nearly identical large apartment houses also built by Remington Arms. Each is three stories in height and forms a U shape with a center entry pavilion rising either one or two stories.</p><br>
<p>Land for the complex was acquired in 1916 by the Remington Arms company, and construction took place over the following years. The development was designed by the New York City firm Hiss and Weekes, under the supervision of Alfred Bossom. It is one of the oldest surviving residential developments made in the city to attract workers to meet local industrial demand during World War I.</p><br>
<p>Alpha House is a fraternity house located at 293 Eliot Street in Detroit, Michigan. It is significant as the longtime headquarters of the Gamma Lambda Chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on August 26, 2021.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Alpha Phi Alpha was founded at Cornell University in 1906. The organization was the first intercollegiate Greek-letter fraternity established for African American men. The fraternity expanded, and by the 1910s a number of successful Alpha Phi Alpha brothers were living in Detroit. The Gamma Lambda Chapter of the fraternity was chartered on March 22, 1919. Over the next few decades, the chapter grew as more successful African Americans moved to the city. The chapter met at various locations through the city, but did not have a permanent home.</p><br>
<p>The house at 293 Eliot Street was built in about 1912, and was first occupied by Herman and Lena Rosenthal. Herman died in 1929, and Lena remained in the house until about 1939, when it was purchased by the Gamma Lambda chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha. The chapter used the house continuously until the present day, and it was the center of the social programs run by the fraternity. The building was renovated in 2003.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Alpha House is a two-story, rectangular brick building, built in a vernacular Craftsman style with a hipped roof and asymmetric facade. The front façade has a partial-width elevated front porch, surrounded by a low brick wall with Tuscan columns and capped with a hipped roof. The porch is reached by a set of concrete steps, and two concrete steps that lead up to the upper end of the porch and the main entry. On the left side of the porch is a two-story bay window with double-hung windows; the other half has a box bay window on the second floor above the porch. A hipped dormer projects above the roof in the center of the facade.</p><br>
<p>The Brannen-Devine House, at 209 E. Cottage in Flagstaff, Arizona, United States, was built in 1892. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.</p><br>
<p>It is a 30x40 ft brick house built upon a stone foundation, vernacular Queen Anne in style.</p><br>
<p>It was originally a home of Flagstaff pioneer J.M. Brannen in 1892. It was home during 1903 to 1908 for Thomas Devine, an engineer for the Arizona Lumber and Timber Co.</p><br>
<p>It was deemed significant as a "good representative of the Queen Anne Cottage style, the design characteristics of this simple, locally popular form."</p><br>
<p>It also was an anchor of the 1884-created Brannen Addition neighborhood; a P.J. Brannen was the first merchant in Flagstaff to move from the "Old Town" to the "New Town" here.</p><br>
<p>In 2021, it is available for rental through AirBnB.</p><br>
<p>The Acadia Ranch, now the Acadia Ranch Museum and home of the Oracle Historical Society, at 825 E. Mt. Lemmon Highway in Oracle in Pinal County, Arizona, is a historic ranch complex built up during 1885 to 1930. A portion of the ranch was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984. The listing included two contributing buildings: the Acadia Ranch House and an outbuilding which includes a smokehouse and a garage. It also included a contributing structure: a water tower.</p><br>
<p>The property was developed as a lodging house for travelers and summer visitors in the 1880s by Mr. and Mrs. Edwin S. Dodge, in partnership with a Jack Aldwinkle. One room served as Oracle&#39;s USA Post Office from 1985 to 1901. The Dodges had previously operated a lodging house in Tucson, which is 35 mi to the south; the Oracle location, at an elevation of 4,500 ft in the foothills of the Santa Catalina Mountains, is markedly cooler.</p><br>
<p>The Acadia Ranch House, the main house of the ranch, faces north on E. Mt. Lemmon Highway, a principal street through Oracle, which, in 1984, was Arizona State Route 77 (AZ 77). The AZ 77 highway was rerouted in 1964, and now goes around Oracle on the north; E. American Avenue, very close to the house, is also known as Old Highway 77.</p><br>
<p>The main house is a one-story L-shaped building incorporating a five-room adobe original area about 29x40 ft in plan, and frame, stone, and adobe additions. It has a shed-roofed porch on its north side, facing the street, and extending around the west side, unifying the north elevation. The north side consists of the adobe and stucco core (built in two phases ca. 1880&#39;s), a breezeway, and a one-room adobe structure (ca. 1915) to the east.</p><br>
<p>The Acadia Ranch water tower is a contributing structure, southeast of the main house. It is about 12x12 ft in plan and is upon a small hill.</p><br>
<p>The complex was deemed "historically significant for its association with a regional industry oriented towards health and tourism. Also, the Ranch is architecturally significant, within a local context, for its use of adobe as the primary building material. The main house is also important for its evolutionary additive character which reflects its increased use as both a guest ranch and a health resort."</p><br>
<p>The smoke house or "ice house" once had four-foot thick adobe walls, which "melted" over the years. This was restored in a project completed in 2013.</p><br>
<p>The Oracle Historical Society is a 501c3 charitable nonprofit founded in 1977.</p><br>
<p>The Remington Village Historic District encompasses a World War I-era housing development in northeastern Bridgeport, Connecticut. Located on Willow Street and East Avenue between Boston and Barnum Avenues, the area was developed by the Remington Arms company to attract workers to its nearby munitions factory. The complex is a well-preserved example of wartime housing in the city, and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Remington Village is located in northeastern Bridgeport, forming a densely built residential enclave in what is now a mixed-use residential/commercial/industrial area. It is located a short way southeast of the former Remington Arms factory site, now the location of Warren Harding High School. The north–south roads in the district, Willow Street and East Avenue, are lined with duplexes that share a common vocabulary of brick exteriors and Colonial Revival styling. There are ten different designs present among the 76 buildings in the district, placed randomly to give an appearance of organic growth to what was in fact a planned development. The principal variations in design are to the roof (typically either gabled or gable-on-hip), and to the front porches, some of which extend across the entire front of the building as opposed to occupying only one or two bays, and some that rise two stories instead of just one.</p><br>
<p>Land for the complex was acquired in 1915 by the Remington Arms company, and construction took place over the following years. The development was designed by the New York City firm Hiss and Weekes, under the supervision of Alfred Bossom. It is one of the oldest surviving residential developments made in the city to attract workers to meet local industrial demand during World War I.</p><br>
<p>The District No. 98 Schoolhouse, also known as the Stockton School, is a historic school located at 19 South Main Street in the borough of Stockton in Hunterdon County, New Jersey. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on January 12, 2005, for its significance in education.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The first school building to be located on the site was constructed in 1832. The current school, designed with High Victorian Gothic style by local Lambertville architect James Bird, was constructed from 1872 to 1873. The 1832 schools cornerstone was retained for the 1872 school. The school building had just two classrooms, and within just a few years, the school was crowded due to the increased population of the Stockton area. In 1884, a front addition to the school was constructed. The addition included a third classroom and a basement coal room, which would be eventually converted into a fourth classroom. Since the 1884 addition, the exterior of the building has remained largely unchanged. In 1952, the interior of the building was renovated to add a boys restroom and a girls restroom. At the time of the buildings nomination to the National Register of Historic Places, it was still in use as a neighborhood school. The 2017–2018 school year was the schoolhouse&#39;s final year of use as a school.</p><br>
<p>The Devils Canyon Bridge  was built in 1921 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988. It is an historic abandoned section of USA Route 60 over Devils Canyon.</p><br>
<p>Described as a medium-span, filled-spandrel arch, with a moderate arch barrel rise, a roadway which cantilevered over the arches on both sides, a corbeled arch ring and paneled concrete parapets with steel pipe guardrails. Under the supervision of AHD Resident Engineer H.B. Wright, a force account labor crew constructed the Devils Canyon Bridge in 1921–22 for a total cost of $23,780. It carried traffic until its replacement in 1941. The Devils Canyon Bridge now stands abandoned beside USA 60. The Devils Canyon Bridge is historically significant as an integral part one of the states most important early highway projects. Additionally, this structure is technologically important as an early example of a statewide bridge design trend.</p><br>
<p>The Arizona Highway Department used three basic concrete arch configurations In the 1910s and 1920s: the Luten arch, the open spandrel arch, and what it termed the "common arch" – or segmental filled spandrel – design. Longspan examples of the former were engineered by their inventor, Daniel Luten, or his assistants. The latter two were designed in-house by AHD bridge engineers for medium-to-long-span applications. The Devil&#39;s Canyon Bridge is noteworthy as the oldest such AHD-designed common arch remaining in Arizona. It was followed soon by other similar AHD spans, among them the Lynx Creek Bridge (1922), Verde River Bridge (1922–23) and Fossil Creek Bridge (1924), all featuring similar Luten-like reinforcing, span lengths and concrete detailing."</p><br>
<p>The San Antonio Downtown and River Walk Historic District is an amalgamation of residential and commercial sites. 197 contributing properties and 50 non-contributing properties were taken into consideration when evaluating the area for the National Register of Historic Places  and also for the Recorded Texas Historic Landmarks . The more than a century of economic growth and business/tourist development beginning in the mid-19th century is reflected in the city&#39;s architecture.</p><br>
<p>The commercial buildings showcase a wide variety of architectural styles and movements. Among the prominent architects who were involved in designing this area of San Antonio were Atlee Ayres, Alfred Giles, James Riely Gordon, Robert H.H. Hugman, Herbert M. Greene, Adams & Adams (Carleton W. Adams and his uncle Carl C. Adams) and Millard Sheets.</p><br>
<p>Listed below are 37 properties denoted as significant to the designation of the National Register of Historic Places listings in Bexar County, Texas. Four of the properties are also included on La Villita historic district. The 214-acre geographical boundaries covered by this NRHP designation are the San Antonio River Walk and surrounding blocks, bounded by Cameron, Augusta, Sixth, Bonham, losoya and Tolle Place.</p><br>
<p>The Ginacci House, at 1116 LaFarge St. in Louisville, Colorado, was built around 1908. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986. It is a one-story masonry house with a hipped roof, having two arched doors and two arched windows on its front facade. Gingerbread trim decorates a front porch and a gable in the center of the roof.</p><br>
<p>Among homes built for coal miners in Louisville, the house is unusual for its red brick construction and for association with Italian heritage. A 1926 extension housed a spaghetti-making machine.</p><br>
<p>It has also been known as the Leary House.</p><br>
<p>The Mabel Smyth Memorial Building is a historic building in Honolulu, Hawaii. It was designed by Charles W. Dickey in 1937 and built in 1941. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on February 3, 1994.</p><br>
<h2>Background</h2><br>
<p>In 1937, Mabel Leilani Smyth died suddenly after serving as the superintendent of the Territory of Hawaii Public Nursing Service for eight years. In response to Smyth&#39;s death, a fund drive raised about $100,000 (the equivalent of $ in ) with the intent of creating a memorial, and local architect Charles W. Dickey submitted plans for what would become the Mabel Smyth Memorial Building.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The building has an L-shaped structure with two stories, made of concrete, and with a tiled hip roof. A stairway from the parking lot up to the main entrance features a railing with an ape leaf design, and the same motif is repeated above the door in a panel that also includes a caduceus, as well as in smaller panels below the second story windows. The massing of the building is simple, and double doors on the second floor are carved with a torch ginger design. A renovation in 2000 led to major alterations of the buildings interior design.</p><br>
<h2>Construction</h2><br>
<p>In January 1940, a site was chosen for the building on the grounds of Queen&#39;s Hospital, oriented diagonally toward the intersection of Punchbowl and Beretania Streets. Although a different site for the building had been purchased for $15,000 in March 1937 ($ in ), it was not used.</p><br>
<h2>Use</h2><br>
<p>The building was dedicated on January 4, 1941, with an opening ceremony that involved Hawaiian chants and music. Plans were made almost immediately to provide a refresher training for nurses, which included a variety of demonstrations and lectures. In April 1941, a registered nurse at Queens Hospital described the newly opened building as "the headquarters for Hawaiis professional nursing and medical organizations". It housed offices for various local nurses&#39; associations, the Board of Registration of Nurses, and the Hawaii Territorial Medical Association and Honolulu County Medical Society. Additional amenities included a medical library and an auditorium with air conditioning.</p><br>
<h2>Designations</h2><br>
<p>The Mabel Smyth Memorial Building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on February 3, 1994. It is also a Hawaiʻi State Historic Preservation Division (SHPD) Historic Site with Historic Site Number 80-14-9765.</p><br>
<p>Verdurette is a historic farmstead at 665 65th Avenue in New Boston, Illinois. The farm was established by William Drury, an early settler of New Boston who claimed the land in 1833. In addition to running his farm, Drury also operated a grocery store and a bank, and he served as county clerk and as a local postmaster. Drury built the farm&#39;s Gothic Revival farmhouse in 1855; the house features a large gable above the entrance with elaborate wooden trim. A Colonial Revival front porch was added to the house by 1909. The farm also includes a Gothic Revival bank barn, a second barn, a summer kitchen, a carriage house, a windmill, and a poultry coop.</p><br>
<p>The farm was added to the National Register of Historic Places on June 17, 2021.</p><br>
<p>Mount Zion Cemetery is a historic cemetery in Walnut Ridge, Arkansas, located north of the junction of Fulbright Avenue and Mills Street near the entrance to Williams Baptist University. The earliest confirmed burial dates to 1875, and approximately 360 burials are known to have occurred in the cemetery since then, with most taking place in the late 1800s and early 1900s. A church and school were once located adjacent to the cemetery, but both are no longer extant. The Walnut Ridge Army Airfield was constructed near the cemetery during World War II. After a cycle of neglect and restoration in the 1970s and 1980s, the cemetery was thereafter maintained by the municipality of College City until College City&#39;s 2017 consolidation with Walnut Ridge.</p><br>
<p>The cemetery was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2021.</p><br>
<p>The Old San Antonio City Cemeteries Historic District, also known as the Eastside Cemetery Historic District, is a 103-acre complex collection of the oldest cemeteries in San Antonio, all established between 1853 and 1904. The individual cemeteries in the district were once part of land acreage that the City of San Antonio parceled off and sold to local churches and other organizations to be used as their private cemeteries. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000.</p><br>
<p>The cemeteries are notable for their layout and size, their diversity of design (from simple to formal), their funerary monuments (from works of accomplished sculptors to folk design), and for the array of community leaders interred there. While burials in 24 of the cemeteries are predominantly Anglo, seven cemeteries are solely or largely African American. There are scattered Hispanic burials, though the majority of Hispanics in the 19th century were interred in San Fernando Cemetery, established in ca. 1855 on San Antonio&#39;s west side.</p><br>
<p>The exact number of individual cemeteries in the complex is either 31 or 32, depending on the sourcing. Officially, the count is usually 31. However, the sourced table below contains 32 listings. San Antonio Parks and Recreation Department puts the number at 31. Both the University of the Incarnate Word and the San Antonio Conservation Society list 32.</p><br>
<p>By far, the largest burial ground in the complex is the San Antonio National Cemetery, approximately one square block in size. It was created in 1867, when the City of San Antonio parceled off a plot of land from its municipal cemetery and donated it to the Federal Government. Within the grounds are the graves of veterans of the American Civil War, both those who served in the Confederate States Army, as well as Union soldiers who served in the conflict and had originally been buried elsewhere. It is believed that older graves predating the American Civil War were also moved to the cemetery, as private monuments. Over 300 of the graves are unknown soldiers. Among the dead are African American Buffalo Soldiers, and other military veterans of all races. Thirteen Congressional Medal of Honor recipients, four of whom are buried as "unknown soldiers", rest in the cemetery.</p><br>

<p>The Enos Kellogg House is a historic house at 210 Ponus Avenue Extension in Norwalk, Connecticut. Built about 1784, it is a well-preserved example of a late-18th century post-colonial saltbox style house. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2012.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Enos Kellogg House stands in rural-residential northwestern Norwalk, on 1.7 acre bounded on the west by Ponus Avenue Extension and on the north by the Merritt Parkway. It is a -story timber-framed structure, with a gabled roof pierced by a large central chimney and a clapboarded exterior. Its main facade has four irregularly spaced bays, with the main entrance occupying the center-right bay, and the remaining bays on both floors occupied by sash windows. The entrance, unlike many period buildings, opens into one of the main parlors, one of three chambers on the ground floor. The central chimney is flanked by parlors, with a long room behind which originally served as a kitchen. An original board-and-batten door leads from the kitchen to a staircase (possibly once located in front of the chimney) to the second floor. The major framing of the house and decorative styles are all suggestive of late 18th-century construction with numerous alterations and extensions.</p><br>
<p>The land on which the house stands is a small part of the 16 acre which was purchased in 1784 by Enos Kellogg; the house was presumably built not long afterward. The house remained in the hands of Kellogg&#39;s descendants until 1917, when a much larger parcel, then serving as a garden nursery, was sold out of the family. In the 1930s the state took land on the north side for the construction of the Merritt Parkway, and parcels to the south were sold off for development by subsequent owners. At the time of the National Register listing in 2012, the property also included a 19th-century English barn.</p><br>
<p>The Witwer House is a historic house at 504 North 1st Street in Rockford, Illinois. The house was built in 1876 for Rockford alderman and merchant Benjamin Witwer and his wife. Builder O. H. Wheat designed the house in the Italianate style, which was popular nationally in the 1870s. The two-story brick house features a three-sided bay window in the center of the front facade, a recessed front porch, tall arched windows and doors, and a cross-gabled roof with Gothic-inspired decorative woodwork under the gables. The property also includes a brick carriage house built in 1879 with a similar design to the house. It is currently a private residence.</p><br>
<p>The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on August 26, 2021.</p><br>
<p>The Broadway Cemetery Historic District, also known as the Broadway Cemeteries, is a six-block collective of seven separate cemeteries in the city of Galveston, Texas, covering an area of 15.27 acre., an estimated 6,000 people were buried in the district, including multiple prominent Galveston citizens., all cemeteries are still accepting new interments, although these are sporadic. The district has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 2014.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Galveston, Texas, was hit hard with nine yellow fever epidemics between 1839 and 1867, necessitating additional public burial sites. At the time, it was the largest city in Texas and was the seaport of entry for the state. It is estimated that in 1853, 60 percent of its population was affected by the yellow fever crisis, with a death toll of 523. The island&#39;s last yellow fever epidemic in 1867 killed hundreds and caused thousands of residents to flee. One resident who stayed behind remembered that the victims "died on the island like sheep.”</p><br>
<p>By 1912, the stretch of 42nd Street that separated Evergreen and Hebrew Benevolent Society Cemeteries from the others was closed and removed, creating one contiguous complex. Avenue K was narrowed between 1926 and 1928 to facilitate more burials.</p><br>
<p>On June 13, 2014, the complex was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>Cemeteries</h2><br>
<p>Seven separate cemeteries make up the historic district., about 6,000 people had been buried across all of the Broadway Cemeteries; about 85% of these burials took place between 1839 and 1864. Most of the recent burials (post-1940) have taken place in Oleander and Old Catholic Cemeteries.</p><br>
<h3>Old City Cemetery (1839)</h3><br>
<p>Located in the northeast corner of the complex, the Old City Cemetery was the first cemetery established as part of the original town charter in 1839. The cemetery measures approximately 288 ft by 383.5 ft and includes about 1,500 interments, over 90% of which took place before 1964.</p><br>
<p>Its history is the source of rumors and folklore. It is alleged to be haunted by Thomas Nicaragua Smith, executed as a deserter from the Confederate Army during the American Civil War. The remains of Elize Alberti and her family also come with a legend: she is alleged to have murdered her own children.</p><br>
<h3>Oleander Cemetery (1839)</h3><br>
<p>Established in 1839 as Potter&#39;s Field Cemetery adjacent to the Old City Cemetery, it was originally set aside for the burial of unclaimed or indigent people. During the Franklin D. Roosevelt New Deal Works Progress Administration (WPA) agenda, a Galveston city ordinance renamed it Oleander Cemetery in 1939. During this period, the cemetery was reconfigured. Oleander Cemetery was the site of the earliest Jewish burials, with the southeast corner set aside for them. About 1,000 people are buried here.</p><br>
<h3>Old Catholic Cemetery ( 1844)</h3><br>
<p>The first Catholic cemetery in Galveston was created by the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston around 1844 and includes about 900 interments.</p><br>
<h3>Trinity Episcopal Cemetery (1844)</h3><br>
<p>This was created in 1844 on land deeded to the Rector of the Episcopal Church. A brick wall and concrete walks were added later. There are estimated to be over 1,000 interments.</p><br>
<h3>New City Cemetery (1867)</h3><br>
<p>Originally the Old Cahill Cemetery or the Yellow Fever Cemetery, the earliest burials date to 1867. It was expanded as the New City Cemetery in response to the 1900 Galveston hurricane that claimed thousands of lives. Overall, about 650 people are buried here.</p><br>
<h3>Hebrew Benevolent Society Cemetery (1868)</h3><br>
<p>The Hebrew Benevolent Society Cemetery contains more than 500 interments. Isadore Dyer donated a plot of land in 1852, for use by the Jewish Cemetery Association. The first individual burial plots were acquired in 1867 and 1897.</p><br>
<h3>Evergreen Cemetery ( 1900)</h3><br>
<p>Originally called the New Cahill Cemetery or Cahill Yard, it was founded 1900 and renamed to Evergreen Cemetery in 1923. Its original purpose was to house the remains of victims of the 1900 Galveston hurricane. About 900 interments have been made.</p><br>
<h2>Layout and architecture</h2><br>
<p>The cemetery complex is bounded by Broadway Avenue to the north, 40th Street to the east, Avenue L to the south, and 43rd Street to the west. Avenue K runs through the center of the complex, leaving Old City, Oleander, and Evergreen Cemeteries on its north side and New City, Old Catholic, Episcopal, and Hebrew Benevolent Cemeteries on its south. A cast-iron fence surrounds the whole district, with gates interspersed along its bordering streets.</p><br>
<p>The architectural styles displayed in these cemeteries run a gamut of late-19th and early-20th century revival styles: Beaux Arts, Colonial Revival, Gothic Revival, Neoclassical, and Renaissance Revival. Graves are often marked with symbols corresponding to the deceased&#39;s religion, ethnicity, or fraternal or secret society. Other decorative markings include lambs, willow trees, and flowers. Many mausoleums serve as family burial chambers and were designed in Grecian or Roman Revival styles.</p><br>
<p>The district also includes several memorials to various events and conflicts, including Confederate casualties of the Civil War, Republic of Texas founders and veterans, and the 1861 sinking of the USS Varuna.</p><br>
<h2>Notable interments</h2><br>
<p>Several notable people are buried in the complex. Several participated in the Texas War of Independence, Mexican–American War, or American Civil War; the founding of the Republic of Texas and later statehood; and in the development of Galveston itself.</p><br>

<p>The King William Historic District of San Antonio, Texas was listed on the National Register of Historic Places listings in Bexar County, Texas on January 20, 1972. The area was originally used as farm acreage by the Spanish priests of the Misión San Antonio de Valero, and eventually parceled off for the local indigenous peoples of the area. In addition to residential homes, the district also includes the King William Park and Bandstand originally built in 1892 on the arsenal grounds, and later moved to its current location. Other features are the Upper Mill Park, the King William River Walk, and the Johnson Street pedestrian bridge.</p><br>
<p>The subdividing of the area into residential lots dates to 1853–66, coincided with the German diaspora in Texas. San Antonio by then was experiencing an influx of German immigrants, fueled in part by the German Adelsverein colonization efforts of the mid-19th century. Wilhelm Thielepape was one of those colonists, and served as Mayor of San Antonio 1867–1872. Surveyor Ernst Hermann Altgelt relocated to San Antonio in 1866, and built the first home in the area now known as the King William District. Being the first home builder in the area, he named it after King of Prussia William I, German Emperor. What eventually became a German enclave of the King William Historic District continued into the next generations. The 419 King William house was built in 1884 by Smith Ellis, but eventually sold to Otto Meusebach, the son of John O. Meusebach who led the Adelsverein colonization and founded the German town of Fredericksburg, Texas.</p><br>
<p>The King William Historic District evolved into more of an area for the financially successful, rather than any particular ethnicity. Louis Bergstrom was a successful businessman from Sweden. Several of the homes were designed by British architect Alfred Giles: the Carl Wilhelm August Groos House, the Edward Steves Homestead; Sartor House for jeweler Alexander Sartor Jr. Giles designed the Oge House for business leader and former Texas Ranger Louis Oge. The area was home to the United States Arsenal beginning in 1859. In 1985, the H-E-Bu grocery chain acquired ten acres for their corporation headquarters.</p><br>
<h2>Property listings</h2><br>
<p>52 properties (or 53 if Ball houses counted separately)</p><br>
<p>The Main Street Historic District comprises the commercial and governmental core of Tuskegee, Alabama. The historic district includes more than one hundred contributing structures along a ten-block by three-block stretch of North and South Main Street.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The district is roughly centered on the Macon County Courthouse and Tuskegee Square. The square was the location of the first three county courthouses. The current courthouse is listed on the National Register of Historic Places on its own, and as a contributing feature to the historic district. It is sited on the northeast side of the square. The district contains a mix of governmental, commercial, ecclesiastical, and residential buildings. Commercial and government buildings range from the late 19th century and early 20th century. About a quarter of residential structures date to the early 19th century, and about half from the late 19th century. A number of these building express Greek Revival and Romanesque Revival features. The district includes 131 contributing structures, and about 30 non-contributing structures.</p><br>
<p>Tuskegee Square is centered on the Tuskegee Confederate Monument,</p><br>
<p>A commercial building on the square at 101 Westside Street was built with help from students from the Tuskegee Institute, and was used for classes taught by Olivia A. Davidson, second wife of Booker T. Washington, while she assisted Washington in the establishment of the institute.</p><br>
<p>The Main Street Historic District was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on March 12, 1984.</p><br>
<p>The Caguas City Hall  consists of two buildings located in the downtown area of Caguas, Puerto Rico.</p><br>
<h2>The old city hall</h2><br>
<p>The original city hall building (Spanish: Antigua Casa Alcaldía) of the municipality of Caguas dates to 1856-1860, although it did not officially become the municipal headquarters until 1887. The building is well-maintained and still preserves its original Neoclassical façade. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places as Alcaldia de Caguas in March 22, 1989. This building hosted municipal offices until 2010 when the new city hall building was inaugurated. The building now houses several cultural institutions including a museum dedicated to the history of Caguas.</p><br>
<h2>The new city hall</h2><br>
<p>The building of a new city hall was part of a project to develop and build more modern office and administrative spaces in the city. Some people, however, have criticized the continuous use of Brutalist architecture in new government buildings. The new city hall building, nicknamed "El Cacique Mayor" (Spanish for the major cacique), was inaugurated in September 2010 by Caguas mayor William Edgardo Miranda Torres.</p><br>
<p>The Dr. Martin G. Brumbaugh Graded School  is located in Santa Isabel Pueblo, Puerto Rico. Built in 1906, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places  in 2011. The school is named after Martin Grove Brumbaugh, the 26th Governor of Pennsylvania and an influential educator.</p><br>
<p>Situated near the town square of Santa Isabel Pueblo, the school was recognized as "one of the oldest and best-preserved early twentieth-century schools in Puerto Rico." It retains most of its original physical features, including its structure, spatial relationships, proportions, and construction materials. The Dr. Martin G. Brumbaugh Graded School is of statewide significance under Criterion C for Architecture, as it represents early twentieth-century construction methods for educational facilities in Puerto Rico, harmoniously combining three distinct construction periods. The property is also significant under Criterion A for Social History as a prime example of the early USA-led social initiative in Puerto Rico, which promoted education alongside a political agenda of Americanization and cultural assimilation throughout the island.</p><br>
<p>The school was closed in 2018.</p><br>
<p>The Louisville Main Library is the main branch of the Louisville Free Public Library, which is a public library system serving the city of Louisville, Kentucky.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Louisville Main Library is sited at Fourth and York streets, south of Broadway, adjacent to downtown Louisville. In 1969, a $4 million north building was added to the classicizing Carnegie structure. This provided an additional 110,000 ft&sup2; of floor space, compared to the in the original building.</p><br>
<p>The Stedman & Fuller Manufacturing Company Complex also known as the Bourn Rubber Company, Philips-Baker Rubber Company Complex is a historical manufacturing complex at 49 Westfield Street in the West End neighborhood of Providence, Rhode Island. The complex consists of three connected buildings constructed in three phases between 1885 and.</p><br>
<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2021 for its association with locally significant manufacturing companies.</p><br>
<p>Christ Episcopal Church is an Episcopal Church in Chattanooga, Tennessee. It is a part of the Episcopal Diocese of East Tennessee.</p><br>
<p>In November 1900, a small group from St. Paul’s, led by Prof. John Roy Baylor, founder of the Baylor School, obtained permission to establish a new parish on the east side of town. The inaugural service, conducted by the first rector, Fr. William C. Robertson of Nashville, took place in March 1901 at Masonic Hall, situated at 8th and Cherry Streets.</p><br>
<p>The present church building, a neo-Gothic structure, underwent remodeling by the Boston firm of Ralph Adams Cram.</p><br>
<p>During its early years, Fr. Robertson spearheaded the formation of the Christ Church Service League, engaging nearly the entire congregation in pioneering social service activities. These initiatives included working with inmates at the County Jail and residents of the County Poor House, Pine Breeze, and Erlanger. The Sisters of the Tabernacle, whose convent was located across McCallie Avenue from Christ Church, provided invaluable assistance.</p><br>
<p>Around 1916, responding to a plea for help from a black hospital patient, Fr. Robertson organized St. Mary the Virgin on the corner of 8th and Douglas Streets. Fr. Robertson also served as St. Mary’s missioner, and the two congregations occasionally worshipped together, particularly during Christmas and other occasions. Before the establishment of the present Greek Orthodox Church, worshippers in that tradition were members of Christ Church parish.</p><br>
<p>As Christ Church continued to expand, a new parish house named Fox Hall was added in 1957. Additionally, a self-sustaining Canterbury Club was established for college students and staff. In 1982, the Community Kitchen opened in Fox Hall, with teams of volunteers from seven downtown churches taking turns preparing and serving food. This arrangement continued until 1986 when a larger building was required, prompting the kitchen to move to its current location on 11th Street.</p><br>
<p>In the 1990s, the adjacent Canterbury House, which had been housing university students for many years, was converted into apartments for HIV patients. The Metropolitan Ministry also relocated from its city office to share the same building. A memorial garden, initiated by an anonymous donor, was consecrated in the churchyard in 1999. Additionally, in the late 1990s, a new tracker organ was installed, which continues to be used for concerts, evensong, and regular solemn high masses.</p><br>
<p>The Malibu Historic District is a area that was listed on the National Register of Historic Places listings in Los Angeles County, California on January 29, 2018. The approximate area of the district is along the Pacific Coast Highway from east of the Malibu Pier to the Malibu Colony privacy fence. Malibu was ground zero for California&#39;s surf culture, and was designated the first World Surfing Reserve by the Save the Whales Coalition in 2010. For its role in the cultural popularity of the surfing sport, and its subsequent technological influence on the surfboard evolution and efficiency, the period of the NRHP designation significance is 1945–1959.</p><br>
<h2>Surfing culture</h2><br>
<p>Not only has the area been relevant to the sport of surfing in general, but it has also been instrumental to the surfboard manufacture evolution. During this era, surfer Bob Simmons was a regular on the Malibu scene, and pioneered the use of fiberglass and polyester resin to create a lightweight, durable surfboard, having a definitive impact on the design, production, and performance of the sport. Joe Quigg and Matt Kivlin were Malibu surfer contemporaries of Simmons who also contributed to the surfboards evolution. Quigg created a new style of surfboard for Darrilyn Zanuck, the daughter of director Darryl F. Zanuck – lighter, shorter, easier to handle – based on designs hed been using since the late-1940s. Matt Kivlin followed suit and designed a similar board, and together they began producing the “Malibu Chip” boards, which became the preferred model for their ease of use. Simmons, Quigg and Kivlin inspired a new generation of surfboards built for easy maneuverability.</p><br>
<p>According to Quigg, Darrilyn Zanuck was historically the first girl in what became young girls of the surfing culture, "She was at Malibu, really the first girl to buy a surfboard and buy a convertible and stick the surfboard in the back and drive up to Malibu and drive up and down the coast and learn to surf. Of the Malibu girls she was the first Malibu girl to really do it.” Inspired by later real-life teenage surfer Kathy Kohner, the Gidget culture of the teenage surfer at Malibu impacted youth culture with the novels, films and the Gidget Television series.</p><br>
<h2>Historic designation</h2><br>
<p>The National Register of Historic Places listing nomination was submitted in 2015 by Michael Blum of the non-profit "Sea of Clouds" based in Hermosa Beach, California. The Malibu City Council gave its unanimous support, and more than 550 endorsements approved the effort.</p><br>
<p>In 2021, the United States Department of Agriculture substantiated this specific NRHP designation as a model first step towards historic preservation working in tandem with coastal zone management. As such, the USDA denotes four rationales "(1) is explicitly site-specific, (2) aims to not just consider historic significance but secure specific legal protections and provisions because of it, (3) places surfing within the set of claims regarding historical, cultural, and economic significance, and (4) secures protections based directly on significance."</p><br>
<p>The Wayland Downtown Historic District is primarily commercial historic district located on Main and Superior Streets, between Maple and Pine Streets and between Church and Forest Streets in Wayland, Michigan. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2011.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Wayland was founded in 1837, but did not grow significantly until a plank road was constructed through what is now the historic district in 1852. Commercial activity in the center of town dates from 1854. The village was platted in 1861, and additional plats were recorded over the next decade as more inhabitants moved in. When the Grand Rapids and Indiana Railroad arrived in 1870, Wayland began growing much faster, capitalizing on its location between Grand Rapids and Kalamazoo. A number of commercial structures were built in the downtown area over the next few decades, but a series of fires starting in 1881 and continuing through the first part of the 20th century destroyed many of the older buildings.</p><br>
<p>As the 20th century progressed, more automobile traffic between Kalamazoo and Grand Rapids came through Wayland. However, in the late 1950s, a freeway bypassing the downtown was constructed, and the downtown began to stagnate. By 1990, population again started to increase as people moved from larger cities out to smaller settlements. A series of small businesses continued to occupy the downtown buildings, and by the 21st century, a Main Street program was firmly in place to preserve the small-town environment of the district.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Wayland Downtown Historic District spans a little less than four square blocks centered on the intersection of Main and Superior Streets, encompassing Wayland’s historic central business district. It contains 35 buildings, 29 of which contribute to the historic character of the district. The district consists mostly of one- and two-story commercial blocks abutting the sidewalk line, and</p><br>
<p>also including the Richardsonian Romanesque Henika Library. The buildings are typically brick, but there is a variety of styles, materials, and architectural details.</p><br>
<p>The earliest building in the district were constructed in the 1880s. Many of these, located along West Superior, date from soon after the fire of 1883. Most of the remaining contributing buildings date from around the turn of the 20th century, with a handful constructed in the 1930s-1950s.</p><br>
<p>The Colonel Timothy Jones House is a historic house at 231 Concord Road in Bedford, Massachusetts. It was built about 1775 for a prominent local military officer and civic official, and is a well-preserved example of period architecture with Colonial Revival alterations. It was also historically associated with Shady Hill Nursery, one of the largest nurseries in New England at the turn of the 20th century. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2021.</p><br>
<p>The Charles Frederick Myers house is a historic private residence in the Franklin Park neighborhood of Columbus, Ohio. The house was built in 1896 in an eclectic style. It was added to the Columbus Near East Side District  in 1978, and the Bryden Road District  in 1990.</p><br>
<h2>Design</h2><br>
<p>The Charles Frederick Myers house was built in an eclectic style, including elements of Romanesque Revival, neo-French provincial, and Queen Anne architecture. It was among the most ornate houses built in the city in the 19th century, built on Bryden Road (one of three streets in Columbus where the grandest houses were built, along with East Main and East Broad). It is one of the largest and most ornate houses on the street and in the Bryden Road District.</p><br>
<p>The exterior includes a square tower at the southwest corner, with diagonal brick details. The house has steep tile roofs with dormers, decorative chimneys, and terra cotta ornaments. An ornate fence and gate surround the property, though they are not original to the house.</p><br>
<p>The house, upon completion, had a lavish interior with heavily carved wood, including black and Circassian walnut, mahogany, and cherry. Myers hired an artist from Germany to decorate the interior and paint murals.</p><br>
<p>The houses centerpiece is the Great Hall, which has a large central stairway with a landing extending the length of the room. The stairs newel post has four sculpted heads, once said to have been of a kaiser, though altered during World War I. The room also included a "Turkish Alcove" with a tented ceiling, cushions, oriental lamps, and Syrian draperies.</p><br>
<p>The house has about 18 rooms, in addition to several unfinished spaces. It has four floors and an elevator.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The mansion was built in 1896 for Charles Frederick Myers, founder and owner of the United States Carriage Company. It was noted to be one of Myers greatest legacies, as one of the finest residential buildings in the city. The elaborate structure was said to have been designed after a castle in Myers homeland in Germany. The house&#39;s construction required water and sewer lines to be extended east from Wilson Avenue. Upon completion, the Myers family lived in it for several years, though Charles died during a trip to Germany only a few years after the home was finished.</p><br>
<p>From 1921 to 1940, the Ryan family lived in the house, and the "Rinkey-Dink" neighborhood club met there. After 1940, the house was turned into a nursing home. The house was part of the Stella Marshall Memorial Homes, which operated nursing facilities in neighboring houses. Many of these, including the Myers house, ceased to operate in 1977 when found to be uncompliant with state standards.</p><br>
<p>It was added to the Columbus Near East Side District (part of the National Register of Historic Places) in 1978, and the Bryden Road District (part of the Columbus Register of Historic Properties) in 1990.</p><br>
<p>The Negaunee Downtown Historic District is a commercial historic district located in Negaunee, Michigan, generally located between Peck Street and Rail Street, and between Tobin Street and North Teal Lake Avenue. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2021.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Settlement near Negaunee began in the 1840s with the founding of the nearby Jackson Mine. Negaunee itself was first settled around 1860, but development was haphazard until the village was first platted in 1865. These plats included what is now the downtown business district of the city. Also in 1865, the Chicago & North Western Railway was laid out, and soon connected Negaunee to other parts of the state. The railroad accelerated development, and in 1869 Negaunee was incorporated as a village. By the 1870s, the present commercial district had formed, with two banks and a large number of stores in the area.</p><br>
<p>The 1870s and into the 1880s represented a boom in construction in Negaunee; nearly thirty percent of the buildings still extant in the downtown district date from the late 1870s to 1884. Development slowed somewhat after this, but another fifteen percent of the buildings in the district were constructed between 1885 and the turn of the century. Further buildings were constructed in the years 1900–1919, which was the time of peak population for Negaunee. Some further construction was completed during the 1920s, but very little occurred from the Great Depression through World War II and into the postwar period.</p><br>
<p>Meanwhile, the number of active mines in the area steadily decreased. In the late 1950s, US 41 was constructed, bypassing downtown Negaunee. Commercial development moved to this new corridor, and buildings in the downtown district were abandoned or fell into disrepair.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Negaunee Downtown Historic District encompasses the historic commercial heart of the city, and contains 71 buildings and structures, of which 55 contribute to the historic character of the district. The buildings generally date from the early 1870s to the mid-1960s, and include four previously listed individually in the National Register: the Negaunee Fire Station, the Marquette and Western Railroad Negaunee Freight Depot, the Vista Theater, and the Negaunee State Bank Building.</p><br>
<p>The district is primarily commercial in nature, mostly commercial blocks of brick or stone construction. The majority of the buildings are two-story, two-part brick commercial blocks with limited architectural detailing. Some have Romanesque Revival, Classical Revival, or Beaux Arts influences.</p><br>
<p>The district also includes two public buildings (the City Hall and the Fire Station), two churches (Saint Paul&#39;s Catholic Church complex and the Mitchell United Methodist Church), two schools (the Case Street School and Negaunee Manual Training School) and a block of residential buildings on Case Street.</p><br>
<p>The Huerfano Bridge, is a bridge in Pueblo County, Colorado near Boone, Colorado that brings USA Highway 50 over the Huerfano River. The bridge was completed in 1921 after construction began in 1920. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.</p><br>
<p>It is a five-span filled spandrel arch bridge designed by Colorado state staff engineer Richard Dubois and was built by the Pueblo Bridge Co. A previous bridge had been christened by the community in 1916. It replaced a timber truss bridge that had deteriorated severely by 1920, with two spans having fallen from damage by woodpeckers.</p><br>
<p>The Federal Building and USA Post Office at 657 2nd Ave. in Fargo, North Dakota, was built in 1969–70. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2021.</p><br>
<p>NDSU Archives states:A new Post Office was built in 1970. Shown above, the Post Office is located on the northwest corner of Roberts Street and Second Avenue north. The building was dedicated on Friday, June 26, 1970, at 10am. A 30 minute band concert preceded the event. Among the dignitaries attending the dedication were Governor William L. Guy, Fargo Mayor Herschel Lashkowitz, Senators Milton R. Young and Quentin Burdick, and Representatives Thomas Kleppe and Mark Andrews.</p><br>
<p>It is one of 24 federal buildings owned by the General Services Administration in North Dakota in 2021.</p><br>
<p>Note a large number of North Dakota post offices built during 1900-1940 were reviewed in a 1989 study, resulting in immediate NRHP listing of 12 to add to the eight previously listing. Others may have been listed since then in accordance with standards laid out in that study. This 1969 building may be the most recently built post office so far listed in North Dakota.</p><br>
<p>It is termed mid-century modern in RoadsideArchitecture.com.</p><br>
<p>It was built by T.F. Powers Construction Co., which opened in 1893 after downtown Fargo was largely destroyed by fire.</p><br>
<p>Flooding in Fargo led to this location handling more mail in 2009, when the post office annex at 4007 33rd St., NW, was flooded.</p><br>
<p>The J. Harper Smith Mansion is a historic Late Victorian house built in 1880 by James Harper Smith and located at 228 Altamont Place in the borough of Somerville in Somerset County, New Jersey, in the United States. The architect Horace Trumbauer designed the library addition in 1898. The privately owned residence was added to the National Register of Historic Places on December 31, 1998, for its significance in architecture from 1880 to 1911.</p><br>
<h2>James Harper Smith</h2><br>
<p>James Harper Smith (1834–1911) was a wealthy Somerville businessman. He went to work in the woolen mills in Rockville, Connecticut, as a teenager and rose to superintendent, later becoming known as "Super Smith". He received several patents for inventing mill improvements. In 1869, he moved to the borough of Raritan, New Jersey, and became the superintendent of the Raritan Woolen Mills, growing the business from 33 to 1,200 employees. In 1880, he left Raritan and moved to Somerville to construct a new home. To encourage upscale development of the neighborhood, Smith had the street leading to his Victorian mansion renamed to have a "higher tone", changing it from West Cliff to Altamont Place. In 1894, he was the primary donor of Somervilles St. Johns Episcopal Church, contributing to the building fund. Smith died at his home on December 25, 1911, and is buried at the Somerville New Cemetery.</p><br>
<h2>The mansion</h2><br>
<p>The three-story Smith mansion features Queen Anne architecture with Stick/Eastlake details. Built of brick and stone, the multi-gabled structure has two prominent towers, and is roofed in slate. A wrap-around porch connects to a porte-cochère. The interior features stained-glass windows from Tiffany Studios and decorative terracotta panels. Rich walnut, cherry, oak, ash, and mahogany woods are used to enhance the style of the rooms. One addition was designed by Frank L. Bodine, architect of the Richardsonian Romanesque Somerville station. In 1898, the architect Horace Trumbauer designed the library addition in the style of the Late Renaissance monarch Henry IV of France. As historian Ursula C. Brecknell asserts: "The J. Harper Smith Mansion stands as an excellent example of the taste of a self-made man who became wealthy through his talents and his industry. Architecture was his status symbol, and he chose a lavish style."</p><br>
<p>The NRHP listing also includes a stable/carriage house, built by 1882. The 1,734 ft2 red-brick building matches the main house. It has been converted into a private residence, with its own address.</p><br>
<p>St. Johns Episcopal Church is a historic church located at 154–158 W. High Street in the borough of Somerville in Somerset County, New Jersey. Built in 1895, it was designed by architect Horace Trumbauer in Early English Gothic style. St. Johns Church Complex, which includes the church, rectory, and parish hall, was added to the National Register of Historic Places on May 30, 2003 for its significance in architecture and social history.</p><br>
<h2>History and description</h2><br>
<p>The congregation was founded in 1850 and built a wooden church building. It was replaced by the current church, built in 1895 using Stockton sandstone with Early English Gothic style designed by the architect Horace Trumbauer. He also designed the rectory, which features Shingle style architecture and is built with the same sandstone. J. Harper Smith, a Somerville businessman, was the primary donor for the church, contributing to the building fund. The Parish Hall, also known as Guild Hall, was built in 1924 and expanded in 1959.</p><br>
