<p>The Eastern Star Home was a retirement home and convalescent facility in Los Angeles, California for the members of the Order of the Eastern Star, Master Masons and their female relatives. Built between 1931 and 1936, the home operated until the late 1990s when membership in the home had decreased precipitously to just 34 residents. "The retirement home moved to a new location, and the Order of the Eastern Star sold the property at Sunset Boulevard to Archer School for Girls."</p><br>
<p>San Francisco architect William Mooser II, and Train & Cressy, designed the building in the Spanish Colonial Revival style. Sam Rodia, builder of the Watts Towers, claimed to have worked on the construction of the building as a bricklayer. When the cornerstone was laid October 17, 1931, Sunset Boulevard was still known as Beverly Boulevard and the neighborhood was called "Westgate Heights". The original floor plan had 56 singles and nine double rooms, as well as sitting rooms and sun porches on every level.</p><br>
<p>The original illuminated star was donated by the California Bethels of Job&#39;s Daughters in 1935.</p><br>
<p>The Eastern Star Home was a filming location for the 1974 Roman Polanski film Chinatown.</p><br>
<p>The William Hall Walker Gymnasium is an athletic facility on the campus of the Stevens Institute of Technology in the City of Hoboken in Hudson County, New Jersey. It is located near Sixth Street on Fieldhouse Road in the Castle Point section of the city. Built from 1915 to 1916, the building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on May 9, 2019, for its significance in architecture.</p><br>
<p>The Morton Memorial Laboratory of Chemistry is located on the campus of the Stevens Institute of Technology at Sixth and River Streets in the City of Hoboken in Hudson County, New Jersey. It was named after Henry Morton , the first president of the university. Built from 1905 to 1906, the building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on April 25, 2022, for its significance in architecture.</p><br>
<p>The Oconto County Courthouse is a county courthouse in Oconto, Wisconsin, United States. It houses the circuit court and government offices of Oconto County, Wisconsin. The courthouse was built in 1891, with major alterations in 1907 and 1963. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982 and the state register of historic places in 1989 for its local architectural significance.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The current building is the second courthouse to serve Oconto County. The first courthouse was a wood frame structure built in 1857 at the intersection of First Street and Collins Avenue. It was destroyed by fire in March 1891.</p><br>
<p>The second and current courthouse was constructed in 1891. Architects Charles H. Rau and Robert G. Kirsch of Milwaukee designed the building in the Romanesque Revival style.</p><br>
<p>A fire in September 1907 destroyed the original roof and upper level of the 1891 courthouse. In the aftermath of the fire, the county hired architects Henry A. Foeller and Max W. Schober of Green Bay to repair and enlarge the structure. In contrast to the original Romanesque architecture, Foeller and Schober redesigned the roof in the Neoclassical style, creating a larger domed cupola.</p><br>
<p>The interior of the courthouse was extensively remodeled in 1963, and several additions have been constructed around the original building to provide space for additional county offices and jail facilities.</p><br>
<h2>Design</h2><br>
<p>The courthouse is two stories with a large attic and a square domed cupola, and combines elements of the Romanesque Revival and Neoclassical styles. The exterior consists of blond brick walls with a red tile hipped roof. The facade is broken into three gabled pavilions, each of which is decorated with miniature ornamental bartizans and large semicircular arches above the second story windows. The tympanum of the central arch features a medallion with a sculpted log and fish, representing the local importance of the logging and fishing industry at the time of the courthouse&#39;s construction.</p><br>
<p>The cupola atop the roof includes a clock tower with seven-foot diameter Seth Thomas clocks from 1907 on each of its four sides. The dome is topped by a gold-colored lead statue of Lady Justice.</p><br>
<p>The Marycliff-Cliff Park Historic District is a historic residential area in the Cliff/Cannon neighborhood of Spokane, Washington, located immediately uphill from the city&#39;s downtown core, listed on the National Register of Historic Places . The district is made up of two distinct but connected areas, the Marycliff section located at the base of a basalt cliff and south of Seventh Avenue, and the Cliff Park section located atop the cliff and north of 14th Avenue. Encroachment from the nearby city center has changed the nature of the Marycliff section over the decades. Of the palatial homes built in the late 1800s in the area, all have either been converted to commercial or public use or razed to make way for new development, though there are still a number of properties that are intact and reflect the historic nature of the area. The Cliff Park section retains its original residential character and historic nature, with only 11 properties listed as intrusive among the 118 properties in the area.</p><br>
<p>Built between 1889 and 1941, the historic district is home to numerous architectural styles. Examples of Jacobethan Revival, Georgian Revival, Bungalow, International Style and Spanish Colonial Revival structures can be found in the district. There are a handful of modern intrusions in the area, including the Kenneth and Edna Brooks house built in 1956, which was listed individually on the NRHP on its own merit in 2004. The property is interesting as it is considered an intrusion to the historic district, but historic enough on its own nonetheless to have been listed on the NRHP.</p><br>
<p>The historic districts location along and atop a cliff overlooking the city center played a prominent role in its development. Wealthy residents in the then nascent city of Spokane built mansions in the Brownes Addition neighborhood, along flat land just west of downtown. When space began to run out there, construction of homes for wealthy and prominent residents shifted to the area south of the city center in what is now the Marycliff area of the district, and later up the cliff to the Cliff Park section. Numerous high-profile architects designed homes in the district, including Kirtland Cutter, who built homes along Cliff Drive to resemble scaled down versions of English country manors. Other architects including Waterhouse & Price, Karl Malmgren, Albert Held and G.A. Pehrson, among others, designed homes in the district.</p><br>
<h2>Marycliff</h2><br>
<p>The Marycliff section of the historic district is located on sloping land below a basalt cliff on the bottom flank of Spokanes South Hill. It is closer to the city center than the Cliff Park section above, and being below the cliff was more easily integrated into the city at the time. As such, it is the older of the two sections of the historic district. Development in the area began in the late 1880s and it quickly became one of Spokanes most elite neighborhoods, home to many of the young city&#39;s most prominent and wealthy families. Homes in the area were built facing northward, down the hill, which offered commanding views of the city center below as well as the surrounding terrain for miles around.</p><br>
<p>Its location helped spur its growth in its early decades during Spokanes "Age of Elegance" from the late 1880s until World War I. Homes built in the area were massive in scale, grandiose in appearance, and luxurious in function. Homes of that nature were constructed through the 1920s along the hillside from Sixth Avenue to Eighth Avenue. However, its location would eventually lead to a change in the neighborhoods character. By the 1940s, expansion of the city center had steadily crept into Marycliff. At that time, almost every mansion in Marycliff had been converted from single-family use and many had been razed altogether to make way for newer development. As a result, the historic district&#39;s boundaries reach no further down the hill than Seventh Avenue, as the historic character of the area below had become so diminished.</p><br>
<p>From the late 1920s into the mid-1940s, efforts were made to preserve the remaining mansions. Owners of homes in the west of Marycliff gave their mansions to the Catholic Church, which absorbed the structures into the all-girls Marycliff High School campus. Those two properties became Pioneer Park in 1945, named in honor of the pioneering founders of the city who previously lived in the area.</p><br>
<h3>Pivotal properties</h3><br>
<h4>Corbin House</h4><br>
<p>Located at 507 W Seventh Ave., the Daniel C. and Anna Corbin House, more commonly known as the Corbin House or Corbin Art Center, is a Colonial Revival home built in 1898 and designed by Kirtland Cutter. The former home is now used by the city as a community center known as the Corbin Art Center.</p><br>
<p>The home was built for Spokane mining and railroad magnate Daniel C. Corbin. Corbin settled in Spokane in 1889 and quickly became one of the young citys most successful businessmen. Corbins fortunes were made through his network of railroads which connected the mining districts in the nearby Silver Valley of North Idaho and the Kootenays of British Columbia with the commercial center of Spokane. The railroads were not only a financial success for Corbin, but brought wealth and prominence to the city as a whole. Corbin married his second wife, Anna Louise Larson of Sweden in 1907. She was 33 years old, and he was 75. When Daniel died in 1918, the home was left to Anna, along with investments that were valued at a combined $100,000. A 1921 fire did minimal damage to the home, but caused an uproar as a jury trial was convened to determine allegations that Anna along with an associate had conspired to collect insurance money on the home. Neither Anna nor the associate were found guilty, but the court ruled that Anna was insane and she was subsequently committed to Eastern State Hospital — a similar fate to that of Susan Glover, wife of Spokane&#39;s founder James N. Glover, whose impressive Glover Mansion is located just a block to the east and also listed on the NRHP. After release from Eastern State Hospital three years later, Anna converted the upper story to apartments in 1930. The change to the interior is visible, but does not detract from the historic nature of the structure. She sold the property to the city in 1945, on the conditions that it be used as a park and that she be allowed to live out her life on the property. She died in 1950 at the age of 76. The grounds became part of Pioneer Park, now known as Edwidge Woldson Park. The house itself was initially an art center for Washington State College before transferring to the city parks department as an art center. The property was listed on the NRHP on its own merit, in addition to as a contributing property to this historic district, in 2004.</p><br>
<h4>Austin Corbin House</h4><br>
<p>Located at 815 W. Seventh Ave., the Austin Corbin house is a Colonial Revival home built in 1898 and designed by Kirtland Cutter. It was built as a 17-room mansion for Austin Corbin, son of Daniel Corbin, and his wife. The younger Corbin worked in his fathers business as vice president of the familys three railroad lines, a sugar company, and irrigation ventures. The two Corbins homes were built at the same time, designed by the same architect, and just a block apart, but the younger Corbins home was designed to be far more imposing from the exterior. Located on a seven-acre lot overlooking the city, the northern façade features a two-story portico at the central entrance with six Ionic columns supporting the pediment.</p><br>
<p>Marycliff High School was founded in 1929, and by the 1940s the Austin Corbin House had been given to the Catholic diocese for use by the all-girls school.</p><br>
<h4>F. Lewis Clark House and Gatehouse</h4><br>
<p>Located at 703 W. Seventh, the F. Lewis Clark House, or Undercliff House as it was called by Clark and is commonly known, is a Tudor Revival home designed by Kirtland Cutter and built in 1896. The home would host numerous high-society functions and social events in its early years. The home was designed to host gatherings like those, with its plans including a billiard room, a ballroom, a large porch on the northern façade overlooking the city, and formal English gardens with red brick paths that matched the brickwork on the home. Like the other extant homes in the Marycliff section, it is located along the hillside overlooking downtown, though it is the farthest back of the remaining homes and closest to the basalt cliff. A number of basalt outcroppings are located around the home, some of which are close enough that they were included in Cutter&#39;s design for the structure. A cistern was built adjacent to the home out of basalt rocks. There was also an ice house on the property as well as several greenhoues. Prior to the construction of Marycliff High School in 1929, the manicured lawns and gardens sloped down from the house to Seventh Avenue, where a gatehouse was located.</p><br>
<p>The home was built for F. Lewis Clark, a Harvard educated businessman from a wealthy East Coast family who arrived in Spokane in 1884. After arriving in Spokane, Clark purchased the city&#39;s first mill and, together with partner F. E. Curtis — who would later have his own home built in Marycliff — constructed another mill and several grain elevators. After diversifying his investments into mining as well as milling, Clark constructed an estate at Hayden Lake in North Idaho and sold the Undercliff House to B. L. Gordon for $100,000 in 1909. After the death of Gordon, his widow gave the home and its seven-acre property to the Catholic diocese to be used as part of Marycliff High School. After the closure of the high school in 1979, the Undercliff House, along with the rest of the campus, was developed into an office park.</p><br>
<p>A carriage and gate house was built for the property where it fronted along Seventh Avenue, which is also considered to be a pivotal property in the NRHP listing. The house with its arched gate were constructed out of basalt rocks.</p><br>

<h2>Cliff Park</h2><br>
<p>The Cliff Park section of the historic district surrounds the eponymous Cliff Park, a public park that is located not on Cliff Drive, nor along the cliff that runs along the ridge above Marycliff. Instead, Cliff Park surrounds a basalt outcrop that rises over 60 feet above the surrounding terrain Aside from the outcrop in Cliff Park itself, this section of the historic district is relatively flat. It is located atop the cliff on the southern face of Spokane&#39;s South Hill, where the land levels off before beginning to rise steadily again to the south of the district. 14th Avenue serves as the southern boundary and Cliff Drive serves as the northern boundary, beyond which lies the Marycliff section of the district. To the west, the boundary winds along a ridge that drops off to the west and runs along Ben Garnett Way/Grove Street in the east, though there is a salient extending east between Sumner and Cliff Drive for two blocks that is part of the district as well.</p><br>
<p>The Cliff Park area is distinct from Marycliff not only geographically, but also by the market of homeowner it served as it was being developed. Marycliff was home to palatial mansions for the city&#39;s elite, while the Cliff Park section, aside from the homes along Cliff Drive atop the cliff itself, were more reserved and intended for middle to upper-middle class residents. Development of this area began by 1905. While the homes in Marycliff were generally built in various revival styles, the homes in Cliff Park were more often of the Bungalow style.</p><br>
<h3>Pivotal properties</h3><br>
<h4>North 500 Block of West Sumner</h4><br>
<p>The north side of the 500 Block of West Sumner Ave. has four houses, all of which are listed as pivotal properties in the NRHP listing for the Marycliff-Cliff Park Historic District. All four homes front Sumner Ave. on the south, but they are laid out to take advantage of the view to the north, where the cliff falls off almost immediately beyond their property lines.</p><br>
<h4>South 500 Block of West Sumner</h4><br>
<p>The south side of the 500 Block of West Sumner is an extra-long block that extends into the 600 Block on its western end. It has six properties, four of which contribute to the historic district and two of which are considered intrusive. The pivotal property on this block is at 503 West Sumner, known as the Richard & Jessie Nuzum House or Nuzum House for short. It was built in 1912, and designed by Kirtland Cutter, in a 17th-century-inspired "black and white" Tudor style. Spokane attorney Richard Nuzum purchased the house in 1916 and lived there with his wife, Jessie, for three decades.</p><br>
<h4>North 600 Block of West Sumner</h4><br>
<p>Located at 612 W. Sumner, this is by far the largest structure in the Cliff Park section of the historic district. The house is on the northwestern corner of Wall St. and Sumner Ave., but Wall does not pass through Sumner here. The home, built in 1917 and designed by Kirtland Cutter, is a large Tudor Revival home with Jacobethan accents. Like the rest of the homes built between Sumner and Cliff Drive, it has more fenestration to the north, looking out over the cliff.</p><br>

<p>Fernbrook Farms is a 230 acre working farm located along County Route 545  in Chesterfield Township in Burlington County, New Jersey. Originally an 18th-century farm, it was briefly a stock breeding farm, known as the New Warlaby Stock Farm, in the 19th century. It now includes an inn, plant nursery, environmental education center, and community-supported agriculture. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on July 7, 2022, for its significance in architecture and landscape architecture.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In 1760, John Newbold acquired 500 acre of farm land along the Fern Brook from his father Michael Newbold. He then built a two and one-half story frame farmhouse for the estate. The house was expanded in 1791 by adding two bays. In 1881, Charles Morgan purchased 290 acre to raise premium breeding cattle. In 1897, John L. Kuser moved there, and in 1899, he purchased the property. After his death in 1937, his son Walter G. Kuser inherited the property. Lawrence Kuser and his wife Susie started living there in 1974.</p><br>
<h2>Historic district</h2><br>
<p>The Fernbrook Historic District is a 111 acre historic district encompassing the core part of the farm. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on July 7, 2022, for its significance in architecture and landscape architecture. The district has eleven contributing buildings, six contributing structures, and one contributing site. The Federal-style John Newbold House is the main contributing property in the district. A cedar shaked water tower, built, provided water pressure and filtration for Morgan&#39;s mansion and the formal Colonial Revival gardens.</p><br>
<h2>Agriculture</h2><br>
<p>In 1881, having inherited money, Morgan imported premium breeding cattle from England, paying nearly for them. They were shorthorns of the Booth stock from Warlaby. He renamed the farm, New Warlaby, and established a model breeding farm. However, by 1885, he had sold the cattle to Leslie Combs of Kentucky.</p><br>
<p>A plant nursery operation was started in the 1970s. A community-supported agriculture (CSA) component was added in 2007.</p><br>
<h2>Education</h2><br>
<p>In 2001, Larry and Susie Kuser established an environmental education center on the property.</p><br>
<p>The Carver Center, formerly known as the Sunlight Elks Lodge, is a historic Colonial Revival style brick building located at 40 Fowler Street in the City of Trenton in Mercer County, New Jersey. It was named after George Washington Carver, African-American agricultural scientist and inventor. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on July 7, 2022, for its significance in ethnic heritage.</p><br>
<h2>History and description</h2><br>
<p>A brick auditorium, designed by Trenton architect J. Osborne Hunt, was built here first, from 1922 to 1923. Later, from 1927 to 1928, a two-story brick building, also designed by Hunt, was built here connected to the auditorium and facing Fowler Street. Both were funded by the local Sunlight Elks Lodge of the Improved Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks of the World, an African-American fraternal organization. The building was dedicated in February 1928 and described in a newspaper: "Trenton Sunlight Elks Have Finest Home in America." From 1941 to 1943, it was known as the Colonel Charles Young Soldiers Club, a recreation center for Black troops from Fort Dix. It was named after Charles Young, the first African-American to earn the rank of colonel in the Army. From 1943 to 1975, it was owned by the Trenton Y.M.C.A. and known as the Carver Center, named after George Washington Carver. The building was sold to the New Jersey State Federation of Colored Women&#39;s Clubs in 1975. They established the Carver Youth and Family Center in 1981. The city bought the building in 2021.</p><br>
<p>Las Saetas is one of the great examples of Pueblo Revival architecture in the American Southwest. Rebuilt in 1935 from the ruins of the 1873 Post Traders Store the design-build project was led by Dutch-born artist Charles Bolsius, with Nan and Pete Bolsius. The project included hand-carved doors, exposed beams, carved corbels, adobe fireplaces, hand-hammered tin, and a heightened sense of romanticism. The property and its transformation over a 150-year-span reflect the changing culture and economic milieu of Southern Arizona and the American West.</p><br>
<p>Las Saetas was originally built as the Fort Lowell Post Traders Store in 1870 from unstabilized mud adobe in a territorial style. The building served as a store, saloon, and gambling hall. After the closure and decommissioning of the Fort, the property had successive owners and uses including a farm headquarters and tuberculous sanatorium - health ranch before falling to ruin. The rambling property was purchased by the Bolsius Family in 1934. Nan and Pete Bolsius and Artist Charles Bolsius reimagined the property as a Pueblo Revival hacienda and hand reconfigured and reconstructed the building. Las Saetas is located in the Fort Lowell Historic District in east-central Tucson, Arizona.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Las Saetas, was originally built by Post-Trader, Gen. John B. “Pie” Allen at the entrance to the new Camp Lowell, six and a half miles northeast of Tucson in 1873. The rambling large sun-dried mud adobe complex was constructed as the installations Post-Traders Store or Sutlers Store to supply general merchandise to the officers and enlisted men stationed at the camp. The building was demised into two uses: public rooms to the east and the post traders private residence, store rooms, and corrals to the west. The two zones were separated by a large arched open breezeway that extended through the building from north to south. At the time of construction, the building looked north across the fertile desert floodplain, over the dense green bosque hugging the banks of the Rillito River to the expansive views of the Santa Catalina Mountain Range.</p><br>
<p>The south facade of Las Saetas is the principal public view of the property. The facade is characterized by large irregular geometric massing of mud adobe walls rendered in lime plaster. The 1873 building was originally an exposed adobe structure with a flat roof and parapet. The simple territorial design featured a front portál (veranda/porch) with a wood shingle roof and mill-sawn posts that extended along the eastern half of the facade and wrapped the building to the east. Elongated metal canales funneled water off the roof across the veranda. The facade had minimal ornamental detailing but included carved decorative cross beams on the veranda. The windows were trimmed in wood and included the territorial style triangular-shaped pedimented lintel, featuring either a plain fascia or one augmented by combinations of moldings. The primary entryway to the building was an open arched zaguán which served as a central entry hall / breezeway which connected to the large public rooms. West of this program were private living quarters and service, storage, and farm rooms.</p><br>
<p>By the 1930s the building had been stuccoed in lime plaster. When the building was reconstructed in the mid-1930s, the Bolsius trio used the adobe shell which lent itself to the Pueblo Revival idiom. Having spent time in New Mexico they took inspiration from the romanticized architectural traditions of the southwest and infused a high artistic style into the project which elevated it into an extraordinary example of regional design. As part of the transformation, they continued the lime plaster stucco treatment which softened and rounded edges and installed beautifully hand-carved wood doors, hand-carved corbels, vigas, and lintels. They used the extant territorial windows painted blue and enclosed the zaguán into a sala (living room). As part of the reconstruction, they used numerous conventions typical of Spanish colonial and pueblo revival architecture in the Southwest including adding alacena (cupboards built into an interior adobe wall), bancos (adobe benches built at the base of a wall), nichos (niche in interior adobe wall used for display of santos and artworks) and redesigned and installed fogon (comer fireplaces). As part of the redesign they retained the original south facade volume and basic detailing including the retention of the south-facing portion of original portál. A wall was added connecting the main house with the gatehouse punctuated by a decorative carved gate topped with an espadana and bell.</p><br>
<p>The Bolsius used the house to host cultural events, programs, art exhibits and served as the locus of the Fort Lowell art colony.</p><br>
<p>Las Saetas was designated a contributing property to the Pima County Fort Lowell Historic District in 1976 and was individually listed in the National Register of Historic Places under the Fort Lowell Multi-Cultural District in April 1978. The property is today included in the City of Tucson Fort Lowell Historic Preservation Zone, designated in 1981.</p><br>
<h2>Ownership</h2><br>
<p>In 1974, the house was purchased from Pete Bolsius by New Yorkers Peggy and Ben Sackheim. They undertook a major renovation of the property which included additions and alterations. The major changes included the enclosure of the portál into an entrada and galleria, the addition of a master bathroom on the northeast corner of the house, the addition of the dining room, which more substantially connected the west wing to the main house, the enlargement of the west wing rooms to the north, and the addition of a three-bay carport behind the connecting wall and original gate open towards the gatehouse. On the interior, they removed the living room fireplace and banco and added lofts to two rooms. The changes maintained the pueblo revival character.</p><br>
<p>In June 2022, Josie and Douglas G. Smith, founders of Korakia and Sparrows Lodge in Palm Springs, purchased the property, where they undertook numerous deleterious alterations. The Smiths removed the heirloom cactus gardens, cut down protected saguaro cacti, and were cited by the City of Tucson for conducting construction work without the necessary permits. Ultimately, they sold the property at a financial loss in 2023 to Nancy and Thomas Allin who have made further modifications.</p><br>
<p>The Burlington Railroad Depot in Nebraska City, also known as the Nebraska City Burlington Depot, and Nebraska City station is a historic train station listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>The station dates to 1912 when it was built in Renaissance Revival style after a prior station proved insufficient for the city&#39;s passenger needs.</p><br>
<p>The museum is slated to form part of the future Nebraska Railroad Museum, whose leaders plan to display a historic railcar in front of the building.</p><br>
<p>The Old Main is a historic building on the campus of the University of North Carolina at Pembroke in Pembroke, North Carolina. Completed in 1923, it was the first brick building on the university&#39;s campus, then known as the Cherokee Indian Normal School of Robeson County. The building originally hosted classrooms, auditorium space, and administrative offices. After administrative officials moved to a new building in 1949, the structure acquired the "Old Main" name. Since it was used for other community events, it gained additional importance to the primarily Native American student body at the school. Old Main was slated for destruction in 1972, but this decision was overturned after protests by community members. A fire, likely the result of arson, gutted the building in 1973. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976 and fully restored and reopened in 1979. It presently hosts several university departments and student media outlets.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<h3>Construction</h3><br>
<p>In 1921 the North Carolina General Assembly appropriated $75,000 for the construction of a new building on the campus of the Croatan Indian Normal School of Robeson County, North Carolina, which had existed since 1887. It was completed in 1923, being the first campus building of brick construction. The building hosted twelve classrooms, an auditorium that could seat several hundred people, two offices, four toilets, and a picture booth. It was used over subsequent decades for school events as well as private functions including musical performances and funerals of community leaders. School administrative officials worked there until 1949, when they moved to the newly-constructed Sampson Hall. Clifton Oxendine, a professor, stated he coined the term "Old Main" after the move, in homage to a building with the same name at his alma mater, McKendree College. Newspapers began referring to the building as "Old Main" around 1952. The school itself, founded to train Native American teachers in Robeson County, many of them Lumbees, underwent several name changes in the following years: Pembroke State College for Indians in 1941, Pembroke State College in 1949, and Pembroke State University in 1971. The school was grouped under the University of North Carolina system in July 1972.</p><br>
<h3>Save Old Main Committee and burning</h3><br>
<p>By the 1970s, Old Main was the oldest standing structure on the university campus, and had become dilapidated, suffering from a leaking roof and a termite infestation. College officials believed that renovating it would cost $500,000. In 1972, with the support of college chancellor English Jones, the board of trustees voted to demolish the building. In its place, the school was to build a new auditorium at the cost of $1.6 million. Some Lumbees, including various alumni, supported the decision, believing the building was no longer of use. Others felt the building represented Lumbee heritage and social progress, and formed the Save Old Main Committee, led by Janie Maynor Locklear, a staffer at the Lumbee Regional Development Association. A petition was circulated to preserve the structure and gained 7,000 signatures. Jones said he feared that saving the building would prevent the construction of the new auditorium. In June, Republican gubernatorial candidate James Holshouser visited Pembroke and offered his support to the renovation of the original building. The following month, the board of trustees announced that they would build the new auditorium elsewhere.</p><br>
<p>Beginning in February 1973, 40 barns and abandoned homes were burned in Robeson County, most of them owned by white people. At 5:40 AM on March 18, 1973, a security guard reported a fire at Old Main. The local fire department responded and suppressed the blaze. The Robeson County Sheriff&#39;s Department investigated the building and observed that a latch had been forced off of a rear door and fires had been set in at least seven places. The Pembroke fire chief also reported that the floors had been coated with oil. Later in the morning, the fire rekindled. The fire department returned and attempted to quench the blaze, but by mid-afternoon the entire building had been gutted. That evening, Governor Holshouser arrived on the Pembroke campus. Standing with Locklear in front of the smoldering ruins, he addressed an indigenous crowd, offering a $5,000 reward for whoever could identify the arsonist responsible for the fire. Approximately 150 members of the Tuscarora movement guarded the ruins, while that night Native Americans harassed white motorists driving near the building and torched a commercial building in town. The Old Main arsonist was never identified.</p><br>
<h3>Restoration</h3><br>
<p>Four months after the fire, Holshouser appointed the Old Main Commission, which secured funds to restore the ruins. In 1976, Old Main was listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It fully reopened in 1979. The building currently hosts the Native American Resource Center; the universitys departments of American Indian Studies, Geology and Geography, and Mass Communication; the Southeast American Indian Studies Program; the schools Office of Diversity and Inclusion; the television station WNCP-TV; and the student newspaper, The Pine Needle.</p><br>
<p>The American Legion Post 199 in Fairhope, Alabama, United States, is situated on a bluff overlooking Mobile Bay.</p><br>
<p>"Past", "Present", and "Future" images at its website show a past appearance, including picturesque porches, is intended to be restored for the future. Its NRHP listing was anticipated.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The building was completed in 1912 for the Mobile Business Women&#39;s Club, who called it "Pine Needles".</p><br>
<p>A historic preservation ordinance in Fairhope was reinstituted in 2014. The mayor indicated interest in seeing the American Legion building listed. The mayor asserted "the American Legion is probably one of the oldest buildings in town and he would like to see them figure out how to help the owners preserve it."</p><br>
<p>In Fairhope, in the early 1900s, women could vote and women professionals were treated as equal counterparts.</p><br>
<p>The building was hurricane damaged in Hurricane Sally in September 2020; insurance compensation was settled in 2021.</p><br>
<p>The Brunell House at 12113 Jessamine St. in Magnolia Springs, Alabama, United States, is a house that was built in 1910. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1995.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>It is a vernacular cottage with elements of Classical Revival style, including Tuscan columns. It was built probably as a rental cottage for Mr. Brunell.</p><br>

<p>The Simpson Logging Company Locomotive No. 7  and Peninsular Railway Caboose No. 700 are a locomotive and caboose in Shelton, Washington. Together they have been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1984. The locomotive, plus a flatbed log car carrying several large logs, and the caboose form a train, set up appear as if just arrived from the woods, on Railroad Avenue in front of Shelton&#39;s USA Post Office. Both the locomotive and the caboose served the Simpson Logging Company.</p><br>
<p>In 1887, Sol G. Simpson moved to Mason County, Washington with his family. He found a job laying rails and railroad ties for Port Blakely Mill Company. In 1890, he established the S. G. Simpson Company in Matlock, Washington; two of his brothers worked for the company. In 1925, the company opened the Reed sawmill, in Shelton, Washington.</p><br>
<p>"Tollie", a Shay locomotive, was built in 1924 by the Lima Machine Works.</p><br>
<p>Caboose No. 700 was built in Shelton by the Peninsular Railway in the 1920s, which it served until 1936. After that it served the Simpson Logging Company. It had a large side door like a box-car would, and was used to transport supplies to logging camps. It was retired in 1965 and was brought to Shelton in 1983. The caboose&#39;s interior was remodeled to serve as the Shelton Mason County Chamber of Commerce. The two cars are linked together and are situated in downtown Shelton between 2nd and 3rd Street on a narrow parcel of land that belonged to the Logging Company railroad. Both the locomotive as well as the caboose have sustained their original integrity and are positioned on the original right of way for the railroad.</p><br>
<p>The Swindler House, in Shelby County, Kentucky, near Cropper, Kentucky, is a "Settlement Vernacular" home that was built – c. 1835 and expanded later. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The original portion is an I-house built of brick laid in Flemish bond, built upon a stone and coursed rubble foundation. Its original builder and owner are unknown; in 1882 it was owned by Ann Swindler. Its nine-panel front door is flanked by four-pane sidelights. An ell addition, built sometime in 1925-1949 period, has an enclosed porch on its north side. The interior includes chair rails and Federal-style moldings, as well as Federal mantels having central tablets with sunbursts and reeded pilasters on fireplaces in the north and south rooms. The kitchen, in the east room of the ell, in 1986, was deemed modern.</p><br>
<p>The house was deemed significant for NRHP listing as "a well-preserved example of an early 19th century (1810-40) brick I-house in Shelby County."</p><br>
<p>The house was built with orientation to the west, as shown in 1981 photos, with a front door having nine panels and 4-pane sidelights. It seems miss-oriented now, as the lane approaching the house comes from the east, while there is no apparent road connection to the west. Photos from 1986 or before in the documentation show a backyard type appurtenance, a large propane tank, set behind to the west, out from the "front" door. Viewed from above, it seems clear that the public road coming NNE from Shelbyville towards the house (identified as Washburn Road in Google maps) once continued straight and came right by the house, which was set back appropriately, facing it. That road now takes a right turn to the east about.25 mi before reaching the house (and then to reach the house, a visitor from Shelbyville would go east about 1200 ft, then turn left (north) on Mulberry Pike, proceed about 1000 ft, then turn left (west) on the lane which runs about 1000 ft to the house and farm complex).</p><br>
<p>The NRHP-listed area is just.2 acre out of 176 acre large property. The NRHP-listed area contained the contributing house plus a non-contributing structure and a non-contributing well.</p><br>
<p>Outside the NRHP-listed area are other aged structures in the farm complex. These other structures include a large barn, which may be a tobacco barn, a shed, and a smaller barn. Some new structure was under construction in 2022.</p><br>

<p>Its listing followed a 1986–1987 study of the historic resources of Shelby County.</p><br>
<p>It is located within the study area for routing of a new highway to connect Interstate 65 and Interstate 71 avoiding Louisville. Its presence, along with other NRHP-listed and NRHP-eligible properties, was evaluated and may have had an effect on the chosen routing.</p><br>
<p>The Van B. Snook House, in Shelby County, Kentucky near Cropper, Kentucky, is a house was built c.1820. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.</p><br>
<p>Its exterior is brick laid in Flemish bond and it is Federal in style, perhaps especially in its front doorway with sidelights and elliptical fanlight above.</p><br>
<p>The property was deemed significant "as a well-preserved example of the early 19th century (1800-40) brick center-passage plan in Shelby County," whose historic resources were studied in 1986–87. The study identified 17 one-story center-passage plan houses, but "his house is particularly noteworthy as it appears to be the only known example with an original projecting pedimented porch containing beaded flushboarding and a tripartite window in the tympanum." Also, its elliptical fanlight is unusual for Shelby County.</p><br>
<p>The listing includes two historic outbuildings and are contributing: a board and batten-clad meathouse and a weatherboarded kitchen or wash house. The meathouse "is an integral part of a later period&#39;s domestic space, exhibiting the way outbuildings are replaced or added through time"</p><br>
<p>and the kitchen or wash house is a frame outbuilding with a stone chimney that is "an extremely rare survivor from the house&#39;s original period of significance."</p><br>
<p>Its listing followed a 1986-87 study of the historic resources of Shelby County.</p><br>
<p>It is located on Mulberry-Eminence Pike, 1 mi north of Stoney Point Rd.</p><br>
<p>The house may have association with what was known as the Snook-Herr Wedding Tragedy, in which 65 or so persons became ill from poisoning and seven persons, including the father of the groom, Mr. Van Buren Snook, died. According to the account published by The Filson Historical Society (of Louisville, Kentucky), the groom lived in Henry County, Kentucky, adjacent to Shelby. The bride and groom, out of touch in Cincinnati, also were ill, and, two weeks after the wedding, the groom died too.</p><br>
<p>The Calloway House, in Shelby County, Kentucky near Eminence, Kentucky, was built around 1870. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.</p><br>
<p>It is Victorian vernacular with Italianate details, and stands on a cut limestone foundation.</p><br>
<p>It was deemed significant on a local level "as a good example of a late 19th century center passage T-plan with Italianate details over a regional vernacular late Greek Revival house. In both form and plan, the house offers features from both eras: a low hip roof, multi light sash, and two-dimensionality of the Greek Revival; and the decorative porch frieze, polygonal bay, tall windows, and T-plan of the later Victorian era."</p><br>
<p>It has also been known as S.H. Calloway House.</p><br>
<p>The property includes a tobacco barn, a concrete block dairy barn, and a concrete silo east of the house, but these are not included in the smaller area listed.</p><br>
<p>Its listing followed a 1986–87 study of the historic resources of Shelby County.</p><br>
<p>The Thomas House, located near Mulberry, Kentucky in Shelby County, Kentucky was built between 1830 and 1840. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.</p><br>
<h2>Features</h2><br>
<p>The listed area of the property is 1.2 acre.This is defined by a fences on three sides. A long driveway stretches about 1,000 ft downhill and south to Cropper Road (Kentucky Route 43).</p><br>
<p>The house consists of two stories, built with a center-passage plan and Settlement Vernacular architecture. The house was built with a 4-bay frame using brick nogging. The porch is built in a Greek Revival style. The foundation of the South section is rubble while the North section is concrete. Its original blinds were preserved and are still in use.</p><br>
<p>Several contributing buildings lay within the domestic space including a shed, barn, and tenant house. A cellar is also present and was likely used to store food.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The main building was built around 1830 or 1840 by an unknown builder on a property that was acquired by the Thomas family in the 1830s.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places followed a 1986-87 study of the historic resources of Shelby County.</p><br>
<h2>Significance</h2><br>
<p>The house represents an extremely well preserved an example of 19th century life. The house&#39;s architecture, style, and material remain mostly intact. Its wood frame is rare among historic buildings in Shelby County.</p><br>
<p>The cellar is a lasting demonstration of food storage and handling practices during the time period.</p><br>
<p>Snook House is a historic residence in Shelby County, Kentucky near Mulberry, Kentucky. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988, for the architecture.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Snook House was deemed significant as a "well-preserved example of the late 19th century (1865–1900), 1-1/2-story frame T-plan without passage". "T-plan" refers to a house that looks like the letter "T" set on its side in the architectural plans, and are a type of vernacular architecture in Kentucky. It is only one of two T-plan houses without passages identified in the county, and the only single story example.</p><br>
<p>The house was built around 1895, with lumber from the nearby farm of Woodlawn (known as SH-205).</p><br>
<p>After the house construction, it sold shortly after to Jennie and Jessie Farmer, who owned it until 1930 when it was sold to Isaac Wilborn. After Isaac Wilborn&#39;s death in 1972, his daughter Mary Jane Wilborn inherited the property.</p><br>
<p>Its listing followed a 1986–1987 study of the historic resources of Shelby County.</p><br>
<p>The Bird&#39;s Nest is a historic residence built c.1850 in Shelby County, Kentucky, about 3 mi south of Cropper, Kentucky.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The property, with a house on it, was purchased by Philemon Bird from Amos Hall in 1845. Halls house was demolished when the Birds Nest house was built in 1850–51. It was a "family tradition" (meaning there is no documentation) that a Louisville "architect" built the house. It is in the Greek Revival style.</p><br>
<p>One of Philomen Bird&#39;s sons, Henry Bird was given a 100 acre parcel across Kentucky Route 43. A barn on that property is also listed on the National Register, as Bird Octagonal Mule Barn.</p><br>
<p>The Birds Nest house property was passed to another of Philemons sons, George Caldwell Bird, and then to his son, George Caldwell Bird Jr.</p><br>
<p>The buildings have been demolished or otherwise are no longer on the site. A concrete cylinder remains (38.28040&deg; latitude, -85.12256&deg; longitude) and possibly house foundations. A likely former location of house is 38.2808&deg; latitude, -85.12449&deg; longitude, at the top of the rise where a metal barn or other building now stands. Another likely location is forward on the rise at Bison corral (photographed) is at 38.28259&deg; latitude, -85.12697&deg; longitude. Intersection of driveway with Cropper Rd., location from which Google Streetview is available: 38.28480&deg; latitude, -85.12766&deg; longitude. Supposed location of Bird Octagonal Mule Barn: 38.28773&deg; latitude, -85.12725&deg; longitude, which has also apparently disappeared.</p><br>
<p>Locations may be seen together in Map of all coordinates: OpenStreetMap (clickable link available to the right of this page).</p><br>
<p>Its NRHP listing followed a 1986–1987 study of the historic resources of Shelby County. It is located within study area for routing of a new highway connecting Interstate 65 and Interstate 71 avoiding Louisville.</p><br>
<p>The Boston Land and Manufacturing Company Store, also known as the Jim Brown Tavern, is a historic building at 1556 Boston Mills Road in Boston, Ohio. The store was built in 1835 for the Boston Land and Manufacturing Company, which used it as a general store and post office until 1904. The building&#39;s design includes elements of the Federal and Greek Revival styles. It features a gable front with a fanlight, a wraparound front porch, and Ionic pilasters. In 1905, the store was converted to a private house. It is currently a park store for Cuyahoga Valley National Park and a trailhead on the Ohio and Erie Canal Towpath Trail.</p><br>
<p>The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on December 11, 1979. Its nomination misidentified the building as the Jim Brown Tavern, an earlier building built nearby which is no longer standing. The building was also included in the Boston Mills Historic District, which corrected the earlier mistake during its nomination process.</p><br>
<p>The Philomen Bird House is a late 19th-century farmhouse in Shelby County, Kentucky near Bagdad, Kentucky. It has also been called the Winford and Lucy Day Bailey House. The house has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since December 27, 1988, for the architecture.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The two-story farmhouse features "vernacular Greek Temple" architecture; the architect is unknown. In 1890, Winford and Lucy Day Bailey purchased the property from Bird.</p><br>
<p>The Bailey family lived at the house and ran it as a 208 acre farm until the death of Mrs. Bailey in 1936. During the active years of the farm they farmed and raised tobacco, cattle, corn, and pigs. The land around the house is planted with old walnut trees, maple trees, redbud trees, and locust trees.</p><br>
<p>Its listing followed a 1986–1987 study of the historic resources of Shelby County. The house was located within a 2019 study area for routing of a new highway connecting Interstate 65 and Interstate 71 avoiding Louisville.</p><br>
<p>The John C. Brown House, in Shelby County, Kentucky near Mulberry, Kentucky, was built around 1837, and it has additions done in approximately the 1960s. It features "antebellum vernacular" style and was built.</p><br>
<p>The house appeared "to have been built by John Cameron Brown shortly after his marriage to Sarah Ann Waters on September 12, 1837, on land he inherited from his uncle and guardian, the Rev. Archibald Cameron (first pastor of the Mulberry Presbyterian Church. John C. and his brother Archibald Cameron were reared by their uncle following the death of their mother. Both inherited land from the uncle whose will was probated in 1836."</p><br>
<p>A cellar is a second contributing building in the listing. The listings&#39; boundaries were defined to include the house plus "domestic-related space which includes the remains of an orchard, a vegetable garden, and a cellar as well as three non-contributing sheds. Although these sheds are of more recent construction than the house, they could not be eliminated from the nominated area without disrupting the relationship of the house and its setting."</p><br>
<p>Past the mailbox on the east side of Cropper Rd. (Kentucky Route 43), it is way back up a longish driveway, which in the summer is surrounded by very tall corn. The house faces east, away from the lane.</p><br>
<p>It is located within a multi-county study area for routing of a new highway connecting Interstate 65 and Interstate 71 avoiding Louisville.</p><br>
<p>The George Stanford Farm is a historic farm at 6093 Stanford Road in Boston Township, Ohio, within the boundaries of Cuyahoga Valley National Park. The farm, which overlooks the Cuyahoga River and Ohio and Erie Canal, was settled in 1806 by James and Polly Stanford and their children. Their son George built the main farmhouse circa 1830. The Stanford family played an important role in the history of Boston Township; James reportedly suggested its name, and both George and his son George C. held government offices in the township. The farmhouse has a Greek Revival design with a pedimented front porch supported by Greek columns, pilasters flanking the entrance, six-over-six windows, and a gable roof with a box cornice. The property also includes a barn, a springhouse, a garage, a smoke house, a chicken coop, and a corn crib.</p><br>
<p>The farm was added to the National Register of Historic Places on February 17, 1982.</p><br>
<p>The Captain Robert Haskell House is a First Period house at 680 Hale Street in the Beverly Farms area of Beverly, Massachusetts. Built ca. 1713, the house has a long evolutionary history of alterations that has been extensively documented. Occupied by many generations of Haskells, its long-time division into two parts sheds a light on family living relations of the 18th and 19th centuries. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2022.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Haskell House stands in a largely suburban residential setting, on the north side of Hale Street (Massachusetts Route 127 in Beverly&#39;s eastern Beverly Farms area. It is set at an angle, back from the road, overlooking a nearby stream. It is a symmetrical 2-1/2 story wood frame structure, with a gabled roof, clapboarded exterior, and large central chimney. The interior of the house has features from a wide variety of construction periods, documenting a long evolutionary history of alteration.</p><br>
<p>Early local historians thought the house might date to as early as the 1680s, when land in the area was given to William Haskell. Dendrochronological analysis indicates that the oldest portions of the house, its right three bays, date to 1713. This section was probably built by Haskells son Robert. Around 1765, the western two bays of the house were added, apparently by conjoining another structure onto the original. At this time the house had a classic saltbox appearance, its rear roofline sloping to the top of the first floor. After Robert Haskells death in 1776, the house was divided between two of his sons, and their families, descendants, and sometimes tenants, occupied separate portions of the house for the next century. Early in this period, a "Beverly jog" was added to the left side of the house.</p><br>
<p>In the late 19th century, the house was purchased by F. Gordon Dexter, whose family had a summer estate nearby. He and his descendants engaged in extensive alterations, including removal of the Beverly jog, and raising the rear roof slope to make more room on the second floor. In 1941, the house was acquired by the Beveridge family, owners of another nearby estate, who used it as a caretaker&#39;s residence into the 1970s. The house has since undergone extensive restoration.</p><br>
<p>The Lenox Village Historic District is a historic district encompassing the historic village center of Lenox, Massachusetts. Settled in the 1760s, Lenox was the second county seat of Berkshire County, a role it served until 1868, and its early economic success revolved around this role and local mining industries. The village center is reflective of this early role, as well as its later role as a hub for wealthy vacationers. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2022.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Lenox Village Historic District includes substantially all of the main village of Lenox. It is anchored at its south end by the four-way junction of Main Street, West Street, Old Stockbridge Road, and Walker Street, where a cluster of civic buildings are located. Immediately to the north and east are a network of streets where there are purpose-built commercial buildings, and older homes that have mostly been converted to commercial use. The northern end of the district is marked by the Church on the Hill, an 1805 Federal-style edifice built for a congregation founded in 1769.</p><br>
<p>Lenox was first settled in the early 1760s as part of Richmond, a town that was geographically divided by a substantial ridge. Lenox was incorporated in 1767. Its central location in the county led to its designation as the county seat in 1784. Its original courthouse, finished in 1791, is now a commercial establishment on Housatonic Street. Its second is the front-facing portion of the Lenox Library, also separately listed on the National Register. The outer fringes of the district include larger residential properties, dating to its period as a center for large summer estates in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.</p><br>
<p>The Ephram Harrod House is a historic residential stone house built in the late 18th-century in Bourbon County, Kentucky, near North Middletown, Kentucky, USA It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983, and was included in the multiple property submission, "Early Stone Buildings of Kentucky".</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The building is located off USA 460 in Bourbon County near North Middletown, Kentucky. It includes aspects of Federal style. It was constructed by stonemason, master builder, and self-taught architect, Thomas Metcalf, who went on to become governor of Kentucky.</p><br>
<p>In its 1982, Kentucky Historic Resources Inventory assessment, the house was deemed "Unsurpassed in KY for the historic and architectural value because of the workmanship and original condition."</p><br>
<p>Old Town Fort Collins, in Fort Collins, Colorado, is a historic district which was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.</p><br>
<p>The National Register district is a 26 acre area roughly bounded by N. College Ave. on the west, E. Mountain Ave on the south, and by Pine St., Willow St., and Walnut St. The National Register listing makes included buildings eligible for grants to fund historically sensitive renovations.</p><br>
<p>The design standards district defined by the Fort Collins Historic Preservation Department&#39;s "Old Town Historic District" imposes restrictions on renovations or other changes, and also provides financial incentives, as does its "River District", which overlaps and extends to the north and east to the Cache La Poudre River.</p><br>
<p>According to Fort Collins Coloradoan writer Eric Larson, "These districts help guide and protect the look and feel of Old Town as it branches away from Old Town Square, the place where, if youre not at a brewery, youre probably taking visitors to for the quintessential Fort Collins experience."</p><br>
<p>The National Register district includes:</p><br>
<p>the "Old Town Square" on Linden St.</p><br>
<p>Avery Block (1880 - 1897), two-story brick building, constructed in three sections, at northeast corner of College and Mountain Avenues, at the southwest corner of the district. It was built for Franklin C. Avery, the businessman who brought merino sheep to Colorado. This was designed by "pioneer architect" Montezuma Fuller, who was originally a carpenter and became Fort Collins&#39; first (and only, for a while) architect. The Avery Block "is by far his most outstanding structure." (See photos #17, 18, 23, 24, and 25 of 80 in NRHP document.)</p><br>

<p>A great deal of detailed history explains the significance of the district, but more a more general view is summarized in the 1977 NRHP nomination:</p><br>
<p>Fort Collins came into being on the site of an abandoned military post during a period of western colonization promoted by land companies, following the Civil War, as men lured by the romance of the West and the practicalities of a new homestead act took up land at the base of the Rockies. The agriculturalists who settled such communities may not have been as flamboyant as their miner counterparts in the hills, but they were equally daring and hardy. They endured hardships of a different type as they faced natural dangers such as blizzards, droughts, and grasshopper plagues.</p><br>
<p>The Fort Collins Old Town District is a reminder of this type of western settlement for it was established by people who purchased lands from a real estate company in order to ward off the loneliness of the prairies, to profit by the experience and expertise of their new neighbors, and to furnish their families with social amenities that were long in coming to communities situated farther east on the Great Plains. The Old Town District demonstrated how these people settled a new area and used local materials to decorate it with styles current in the East, as they created a substantial, as well as unique, latter 19th-century American community.</p><br>
<p>Note: Unlike other History Colorado webpages about National Register-listed places, the History Colorado webpage titled "Old Town Fort Collins" does not describe the district, as of September 2022. Instead it describes an annual homes tour of numerous places outside the district.</p><br>
<p>Also, The Elizabeth Hotel, whose website asserts that "it is in the heart of Old Town Fort Collins", is not included in the National Register-listed district, but is adjacent to its southeast corner. It is however inside the local landmark historic district.</p><br>
<p>The McKee—Vimont Row Houses, on Main St. in Millersburg, Kentucky in Bourbon County, Kentucky, are three adjoining houses built in the early 1800s, with the two stone ones possibly constructed by future Kentucky governor Thomas Metcalfe. They were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The three houses are, from the left when facing from the street, "Althorpe", "Old Bank Building", and "Vimont House". All were built for James McKee, who became related to the namesake of Millersburg by the 1809 marriage of Joseph Miller and Polly McKee.</p><br>
<h3>Althorpe</h3><br>
<p>Althorpe, also known as the James McKee House, was built of native limestone, by 1809. It is the largest house of the group. Its exterior is of finely dressed stone, and has elaborate detailing in its cornice. Its "intricately carved doorframe" is "one of only two exterior arched wooden doorframes found in Kentucky on stone houses--the semicircular fan headlight over the door are but a few of the more outstanding features of the exterior." Its interior includes "impressive" woodwork in five fireplace mantels, built-in cupboards, and other details.</p><br>
<h3>Bank</h3><br>
<p>The bank building, built sometime between 1809 and 1830, is also built of native limestone, and has nearly identical stone masonry work.</p><br>
<h3>Vimont House</h3><br>
<p>The Vimont House, on the corner of E. Third St., is built of brick, and was also built between 1809 and 1830. It was purchased by Lewis Vimont in 1830. Vimont bought the bank building two years later, and further purchased the large stone house around 1834.</p><br>
<h3>Architecture and significance</h3><br>
<p>The stone houses were built by Thomas Metcalfe or by his older brother John "according to local tradition" (meaning this is not confirmed by documentation).</p><br>
<p>Either way, they were deemed significant both for their architecture and for associations with historic persons:The McKee-Vimont Houses are outstanding architectural examples as well as having important historical associations. The stone work of the south end building ("Althorpe") and what is called the bank house adjacent to it is of a high quality and similar to other Kentucky stone residences nearby ("Fairchild," no longer extant, the home of General James Garrard in Bourbon County; the Green County Courthouse, built by the later governor of Kentucky, Thomas Metcalfe; the Philip Grimes House in Fayette County). The interior and exterior wood trim is also of excellent craftsmanship. Noteworthy too is the fact that the first and second owners of the buildings, the McKees and the Vimonts, were early settlers of Millersburg and important to the commercial development of the town.</p><br>
<p>The McKees and Vimonts are further discussed in the Kentucky Historical Society&#39;s journal.</p><br>
<p>The Dipsea Trail, in Marin County, California, is the route of the annual Dipsea Race. The trail itself is approximately 7.5 mi long, running from Mill Valley up and over a ridge and down to the Pacific Ocean at Stinson Beach. Runners in the race are not restricted to follow just one pathway; especially towards the endpoint some runners diverge along less traveled paths which they may have practiced and deem advantageous. For the majority of the route, almost all competitors follow one main path which climbs and descends stairways and is otherwise well-defined.</p><br>
<p>The trail crosses land owned by multiple parties including the National Park Service, the State of California, Marin County, the City of Mill Valley, and the Flying Y Homeowners Association.</p><br>
<p>The trail has almost 688 stairs, and in fact starts with a climb of "670ish" stairs.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2010.</p><br>
<p>The trail was deemed significant as representing "the founding footrace that laid the groundwork for a long Bay Area tradition that linked community with fitness and civic wellbeing". The first Dipsea is credited with having started a trend of "spirited" footracing, including San Francisco’s 7.46-mile Cross City Race in 1912 which evolved to become the much-better-known-now Bay to Breakers race. The Statuto Race, started in 1919, is another.</p><br>
<p>D.S. Livingston wrote in 2010:These spirited footraces were created to bring residents together through events that inspired cooperation, community pride, and personal health. Intending to inspire San Francisco residents following the 1906 earthquake, city leaders created the Cross City Race, which was first run on January 1, 1912. Mimicking the Dipsea Race, the runners started at the San Francisco Bayside of the city and ran over hilly streets to end at the Pacific Ocean. The race grew in popularity and in 1964 the name was changed to the Bay to Breakers. Today it is one of the largest footraces in the world with over 65,000 participants (a record 110,000 people entered in 1986) and more than 100,000 spectators. While the Bay to Breakers differs from the Dipsea in that it is run entirely on city streets and now tends to be as much a spectacle of costumes and revelry as a competition for serious runners, the historical ties are strong and many runners have competed and continue to compete in both. An Italian athletic and social club, Unione Sportiva Italiana, sponsored the first Statuto Race in 1919. The annual footrace across city streets energized the North Beach community, largely composed of Italian immigrants looking for a better life in America. The club’s activism in community improvement included not only the footrace and other sports but also culture and community service. The Statuto footrace is now among the oldest footraces in the United States. Elsewhere in the San Francisco Bay Area, traditional races include the 9-mile Dick Houston Memorial Woodminster Cross Country Race (1965) and the Kenwood Foot Race (1971). The Woodminster race in the Oakland hills is, like the Dipsea race, a challenging run through mountainous terrain on dirt trails, although runners do not run on streets like the Dipsea. It is also an age and gender handicapped race. The Kenwood Foot Race has been held on the Fourth of July for almost four decades and offers two courses (10 km and 3 km) through countryside hills on rural roads. These races, founded during the fitness boom of the 1960s and 1970s, mimic the Dipsea Race in style and dedicate the events in the spirit of civic and cultural improvement. At the time of this nomination, there are dozens of rural and urban footraces held through out the year in the area, many of which raise funds for causes or merely promote competition and personal health. The Dipsea Race was the founding footrace that laid the groundwork for a long Bay Area tradition that linked community with fitness and civic wellbeing."</p><br>
<p>The race organization provides a "turn by turn" presentation of the course on a webpage with about 70 photos in sequence.</p><br>
<p>The term "Dipsea Trail" is used sometimes to describe portions of the race trail or hikes one can take that partway go along it. For example, AllTrails lists a version of it as a 9.7 mi out-and-back trail.</p><br>
<p>The Grimes House and Mill Complex, located on Boone&#39;s Creek in Fayette County, Kentucky, near Lexington, Kentucky, dates from 1813. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982. It is historically significant in that it is considered to be one of the "most important early commercial buildings remaining in central Kentucky."</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The complex of buildings that make up the site include the mill building, the Grimes family home, the springhouse, a cemetery and the foundations of a former flax house and a distillery. In the mid-20th century, a barn, guest house and riding arena was constructed. The Flemish bond pattern stonework used in construction are considered "some of the finest to be seen in central Kentucky.</p><br>
<p>The 18-acre site&#39;s historic function was for industry, manufacturing, processing and extraction, and was also used for domestic purposes as a single dwelling home.</p><br>
<p>The quarried stone springhouse is across the road from the mill building. It has a stone doorway and an earthen mound. It is directly adjacent to Grimes Mill Rd. and faces out upon it.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In 1803, the two-and-a-half story Grimes Mill building was constructed. Its walls are three-and-a-half foot thick of quarried stone. The interior has a hand-hewn wooden support system.</p><br>
<p>At the time of NRHP application, the mill was occupied by the Iroquois Hunt Club.</p><br>
<p>The Grimes Mill was in use into 1927. It was purchased by the Iroquois Hunt in 1928. The Iroquois Hunt, named for Iroquois, the first American-bred horse to win the Epsom Derby (in 1881), was founded in 1880. It was active in Clark and Fayette counties until 1914 under leadership of foxhunter and houndsman Roger Williams, who served as Master of Hounds at annual meets.</p><br>
<p>The Hunt was reestablished in 1926, and found itself a permanent headquarters in 1928 with the purchase. Landowners in a 10 square mile area facilitate the hunt, allowing fence-jumping, allowing coyotes to survive without poisoning or other eradication.</p><br>
<p>The 18 acres of the listing include six contributing resources and several non-contributing buildings.</p><br>

<p>The Pataskala Jail, off Main Street in Pataskala, Ohio, was constructed in 1892 by the village of Pataskala as its first jail. The structure was originally located at the corner of Front and Poplar Streets,</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register as a follow-on to a 1980 study of historic resources in Pataskala.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The jail is considered a vernacular structure. Constructed by a local builder, the one-story, 12- by 20-foot building is made of two-by-fours laid flat on top of each other, rather than on edge, to make the walls thicker. The boards were then "spiked together, using spikes long enough to go through three of these 2 by 4s." Horizontal siding covers the exterior. Its gabled roof was originally rolled asphalt. Today, the structure has a steel roof, aluminum gutters, and chimney.</p><br>
<p>The interior is divided into two cells and an anterior room. The anterior room has a window and stove. Each cell has a wooden bunk and one barred window with shutters. The bars are on the outside of the cell windows, but on the inside of the anterior room, and "are made of flat steel instead of round."</p><br>
<h2>History of use</h2><br>
<p>Few people were ever sent to the Pataskala Jail. In correspondence to historian Carolyn Bentz, longtime Pataskala resident Clint Baird noted that “only six Pataskala citizens were ever jailed there.” They include one woman, four teenaged boys who raided a strawberry patch, and an adult male.</p><br>
<p>According to news reports, Donald Moreland was held on March 30, 1911, “In the little jail at Pataskala” on murder charges before he was transferred to the Licking County Jail in Newark, Ohio.</p><br>
<p>On June 18, 1894, the Newark Advocate reported that Terry Grimm and Joe Thrapp broke into the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad ticket office at Pataskala at 3:00 am. The two men were caught in the act of breaking into the Depot’s safe. Thrapp escaped, but was shot, while Grimm “was at once jailed in the village.”</p><br>
<p>Most frequently, the jail was used by transients riding the rails. Pataskala was a common stop for the "many coal-burning freight trains that stopped here to get water, the water tank being located just east of town at the creek." With a coal-burning stove and wooden cots in the cells, the jail offered shelter, heat, and a place to cook food. At one point, the jail caught fire, and a hole in the ceiling above the stove still remains.</p><br>
<h2>Closure</h2><br>
<p>The Pataskala Jail was decommissioned in 1916, upon completion of the Pataskala Town Hall. Because the town hall included an interior jail as part of its design, the old Pataskala Jail was no longer needed. After its decommission, the structure was used to store grain.</p><br>
<h2>Relocation</h2><br>
<p>In 1978, "to prevent its destruction," the decommissioned jail was relocated to its current location at a private residence on South Main Street. The structure was loaded onto a trailer and driven to its new location. A man was positioned on the jail&#39;s roof during the relocation to raise up the electrical lines with a pole, to keep them intact as the building passed underneath. The jail is visible from Main St., and it is nearly adjacent to an alley which goes by the property.</p><br>
<p>The Orsel and Minnie McGhee House is a single family home located at 4626 Seebaldt Street in Detroit. The house played a role in the landmark Shelley v. Kraemer Supreme Court decision that determined racially restrictive covenants to be unenforceable. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2022.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The neighborhood surrounding the Orsel and Minnie McGhee House was first built up in the early 1910s, with most of the houses built between 1912 and 1920, The McGhee House itself was constructed in 1912. The property went through multiple hands before being occupied by John C. and Meda Furgeson. In 1934, the Furgesons signed a racially restrictive covenant with other White residents of the neighborhood, which only allowed other Whites to purchase property in the neighborhood. They later sold the house to Walter Joachim. In 1944, Joachim was moving to California, and wanted to sell quickly. Orsel and Minnie McGhee, a Black couple, offered to purchase the house, and the transaction was completed in November 1944.</p><br>
<p>Orsel McGhee was born in 1901 in Eutaw, Alabama. Orsel moved to Detroit in the 1920s and married Doree Diffay in 1925. The couple had two children, but Doree died in 1937. Orsel worked at the National Bank of Detroit before becoming a custodian at the Detroit Free Press. He eventually became superintendent of the maintenance crew and worked there until his retirement in 1963. Minnie Leatherman Simms was born in 1903 and attended the Tuskegee Normal School. She moved to Detroit in 1938 and worked as a postal clerk. She met and married Orsel McGhee later that year. After they married, the McGhees began to save for a house. They first rented in an area just south of Tireman Avenue only a few blocks from this property. In 1944 they had saved enough to begin looking for a home, and found the listing for this house for sale by Walter Joachim. They purchased the house in November 1944 and moved in by the end of the year.</p><br>
<p>However, only a few weeks later, in early 1945, a group of White neighbors confronted the McGhees, including their next-door neighbors Benjamin and Anna Sipes. The neighbors demanded the McGhees leave, referencing the racial covenant. The McGhees refused, and the neighbors filed suit. The case, Sipes v. McGhee, was brought before the Wayne County Circuit Court in May 1945. The NAACP helped defend the McGhees, but Circuit Court Judge Guy A. Miller rules against them. The case was appealed to the Michigan Supreme Court, and started attracting national attention, including amicus curiae briefs were filed in support by the NAACP, the United Auto Workers, the American Jewish Congress, and several other legal advocacy groups. Nonetheless, in January 1947, the Michigan Supreme Court unanimously found against the McGhees.</p><br>
<p>At the same time, similar cases in other states were winding their way through the justice system. The NAACP consolidated the McGhees&#39; case with Shelley v. Kraemer and appealed the two to the Supreme Court of the United States. The case was argued in January 1948, and later that year the Court unanimously ruled in favor of the McGhees and other Black homeowners, holding that the enforcement of a racially based restrictive covenant in a state court would violate the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution.</p><br>
<p>After the Supreme Court ruling, some White neighbors still resisted integration, but the Sipes - the next-door neighbors who had lent their name to the original suit - regretted their participation. In fact, the Sipes and McGhees grew to become good friends, and as more Black families moved into the neighborhood, the Sipes were the last White family to remain on the block, moving only in 1974 after Benjamin&#39;s death. In 1968 the McGhees, wishing to downsize, move into a smaller house down the block and sold the house at 4626 Seebaldt to Eddie and Gladys Mitchell. In 1980 the property was purchased by John D. Lewis, and in 2011 by Velma and Tony Rucker.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Orsel and Minnie McGhee House is a two-story, rectangular, foursquare house with a hopped roof. The house is two bays wide with a full length, half-hipped roof front porch and an off-center front doorway. A bay window projects under the porch roof, creating an asymmetry on the first floor. On the second floor, a pair of windows are centered on the facade in a symmetrical pattern. The roof is shingled, with a centered hipped-roof dormer. Decorative rafter ends under the eaves demonstrate a Craftsman influence. The exterior has been altered, most notably by the addition of red brick-patterned asphalt siding applied over the original wood clapboard siding.</p><br>
<p>The Samuel H. Atwater House, at 821 Macon Ave. in Cañon City, Colorado, was built around 1890 and its porches and exterior were substantially modified in 1908. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1996.</p><br>
<p>It was designed and built in Queen Anne style in 1890. Queen Anne style does include asymmetrical massing as a basic feature, but the result here was generally assessed as aethetically unappealing. The decision to use a square tower (rather than a round tower, far more common in Queen Anne style) and other factors were blamed: it was noted that the original small side and front porches with delicate supports and spindlework, in combination with the "massive size of the square corner tower...gave the structure an awkward, unbalanced appearance."</p><br>
<p>In 1908, a renovation towards remedying the situation was undertaken. The original porches were replaced by new, larger ones, whose "classically inspired elements... are typical of a Queen Anne subtype known as free classic&quot the renovation "successfully converted the existing Queen Anne house into the free classic subtype." "The massive scale of the new front porch and its classic design elements works as a strong counterpoint to the corner tower." And the house can now be evaluated as "a good example of a local interpretation of the Queen Anne style". The house "exhibits most of the defining characteristics of the style, including:</p><br>
<p>Asymmetrical massing</p><br>
<p>Corner tower and bay</p><br>
<p>Steeply pitched roof of irregular shape</p><br>
<p>Dormer</p><br>
<p>Scalloped and shaped shingles</p><br>
<p>Prominent decorative porches; and</p><br>
<p>Contrasting wall materials."</p><br>
<p>The house was deemed significant for NRHP listing for its architecture, and also "for its association with Samuel Henry Atwater, one of the early developers of Cañon City who not only bought and sold land for residential development but was a key individual in the planning and construction of community infrastructure. Atwater platted the Orchard Park sub-division and the Atwater South Cañon Addition to Cañon City; bought two large area nurseries to supply new residents in his communities with appropriate growing stock; purchased water rights on Four Mile Creek to insure a dependable water supply for Orchard Park and the South Cañon addition; and spearheaded the funding drive which culminated in the construction of the National Register listed First Presbyterian Church."</p><br>
<p>Per History Colorado, "This 1890 house is associated with Samuel H. Atwater, an early developer of Cañon City, who not only bought and sold land for residential development but was a key individual in the planning and construction of community infrastructure."</p><br>
<p>Subsequent history includes that after Atwater and his family&#39;s occupation of the house until 1909, that William H. Dozier, an officer of the First National Bank, bought the house sometime before the Great War. Later, from the mid-1930s to the mid-1940s, Guy Hardy, owner and editor of the Cañon City Daily Record possessed the home as an investment. At some point the house was renovated to become a rooming house, and " pparently, 15 layers of wallpaper were removed from the dining room walls." In 1965, City Engineer Carl Babberger and his wife Enid purchased the house.</p><br>
<p>The Stoker House, or Old Stoker House, in Sabine Parish, Louisiana, northeast of Many, Louisiana, dates from 1848. It is the oldest house in Sabine Parish still at its original site, and it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.</p><br>
<p>The main historic resource is a house originally built as a dog-trot log house built by Riley Stoker and his wife Elizabeth in the late 1840s, built with slave labor. Riley was one of four sons of Henry Stoker and his wife Nancy Varnell Stoker, who had settled on the land in 1818 and had built a lean-to on the listed property, which is less than one acre in area. Henry and Nancy had acquired a large number of acres between Rio Hondo and the Sabine River and had become wealthy.</p><br>
<p>Henry Stoker was one of about 80 first settlers of the original Spanish land grant Rio Hondo lands in Sabine Parish who filed in 1824 for ownership; legal title was finally obtained by descendants only in 1878.</p><br>
<p>After the death of two of his brothers in the American Civil War, Riley probably bought out the interest of his remaining brother, and in any event became owner of all of Henry and Elizabeth&#39;s holdings.</p><br>
<p>The original house was 54x38 ft in plan. It included two log pens each consisting of a 20x20 ft front room and a smaller back room; the pens were separated by a breezeway in between. The walls were 4x5 in hewn logs closely fit together and notched/dove-tailed at the corners.</p><br>
<p>It was built upon heavy sills, built of long leaf pine about 18x18 in in dimension and 27 ft in length, set upon stone pilings. These foundations were, and remain, open to the air.</p><br>
<p>A later renovation sheathed the walls, inside and out, with 1x12 in boards.</p><br>
<p>The listing includes a second contributing building, a barn.</p><br>
<p>The house is located about 7 mi northeast of Many, Louisiana, "on the old San Antonio Trace." It is located on, and is visible from, the Natchitoches Highway (Louisiana Highway 6).</p><br>
<p>The NRHP nomination was written by Rebecca Stoker Kyle, a fifth generation descendant of Henry and Nancy, who had plans in 1976 to restore the house.</p><br>
<p>The barn, about 50 yd west of the house in 1975, was built at approximately the same time, and is also a double-pen structure built of logs notched together. Its sills were hewn from solid oak logs. The barn was used in support of the property serving as a stagecoach stop. The barn, and Mrs. Stoker, was noted by architect Frederick Law Olmsted (1822-1903) in his book A Journey Through Texas, or a Saddle Trip on the Southwestern Frontier, published after his 1856-1857 trip.</p><br>
<p>The Stoker Barn was moved from the property and is now on the grounds of the Burden Plantation in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, in East Baton Rouge Parish, in what is now the LSU Rural Life Museum. It was donated by Rebecca Stoker Kyle, her brother James Stoker, and their father Riley Stoker in 1999.</p><br>
<p>The Growler Mine Area is a historic mine located in Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument west of the Bates Well Ranch.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Growler mine site "at one time featured a boarding house, three boilers, an Ingersol-Rand air compressor, and two steam hoists." The area was first mined by Frederick Wall who named the mine after John Growler, his friend. The mine reached peak production, and ceased in 1917. Attempts to restart production were halted by rising groundwater in the mineshafts, high cost, and the low price of ore. The Growler mine claims yielded "a total of 12,000 pounds of copper, 2 ounces of gold, and 200 ounces of silver with a sum value of $2,000".</p><br>
<p>Growler had a store and office building, which were in ruins by the 1960s. Around 1928, the ghost town and mine were purchased by Charles Greer and his step-father Bert Long, of Ajo. According to Nell Murbarger, the site quickly became a popular sightseeing destination.</p><br>
<p>In 1934, visitors reported seeing camels near the old ghost town of Growler. The report was later mentioned in a 1961 issue of Arizona Highways.</p><br>
<p>Many of the old Growler buildings in the ghost town site were bulldozed in May 1962 by Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument officials for being "dangerous and unsightly". The old Growler town-site was mentioned in a 1969 Phoenix Republic article on scenic drives through the O&#39;Neil Hills area.</p><br>
<p>The Growler Mine Area in the vicinity of Lukeville, Arizona was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.</p><br>

<p>The South Chatham Village Historic District is a historic district encompassing much of the linear village of South Chatham in Chatham, Massachusetts. Extending eastward from the Harwich town line along Main Street, the district developed in the 18th and 19th centuries as a maritime and farming village. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2022.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The South Chatham Village is a largely linear area extending along Main Street (Massachusetts Route 28) between the Harwich line to the west, and Cockle Cove Road to the east. The area contains an architecturally diverse collection of residential, civic, and commercial buildings dating from the 18th to 20th centuries. Unusual in the village are a higher than normal collection of two-story frame residences, in a region otherwise dominated by single-story and 1-1/2 story residential buildings. The historic district also extends for short distances along Pleasant Street and Forest Beech Road.</p><br>
<p>Main Street was laid out in the 17th century, as the primary road between Chatham and Harwich villages, and remained rural in character until the 19th century. By the mid-19th century the village began to take shape, and its first post office opened in 1862. A small number of Cape Code-style houses survive from the 18th century in the village, which also includes a representation of Greek Revival architecture from its first period of significant growth. Later buildings of architectural significance include the Queen Anne style South Chatham School (built 1903), which marks the eastern end of the district.</p><br>
<p>The Alderton School was built in 1915, the two-story brick schoolhouse and brick gymnasium reflect the second period of rural school development in the county. The buildings are among the few extant properties associated with the development of Alderton, and one of only two rural school buildings remaining in Central Pierce County.</p><br>
<h2>Historical</h2><br>
<p>Pierce County was settled in the 19th century by families attracted by the area&#39;s vast forests, rich mineral deposits, fertile farmland, and saltwater harbors. In Alderton, the economy was dominated by extractive industries—principally logging and farming. Extractive economies lead to the creation of widely scattered rural communities near the resources. They are often inaccessible to urban areas. While Tacoma had a diversified economy based on heavy industry, trade, and transportation, the sparsely settled rural areas dominated by a single economic mainstay.</p><br>
<h2>Appearance</h2><br>
<p>The School is a two-story brick structure. It is located at the crossroad or Washington State Route 162 (Military Road) and N 96th E, near the community founder&#39;s home and an older store. Next to the schoolhouse is the brick gymnasium. Both structures were built in 1915. An older wood frame building was replaced by these buildings.</p><br>
<p>The school building is constructed of Clay City brick (a local product), is two stories in high, and is rectangular in shape. It has a front bay with an interior stair. A rear addition houses the furnace. A truncated hip roof is irregular. A chimney with a metal hood is placed on the rear slope. The front and rear wings have flat roofs. Previously the parapet over the front door had a school sign board.</p><br>

<p>The Escuela Hemeterio Colón y Warens , also widely referred to as La Hemeterio or La Colón, is a public, intermediate school serving the city of Ponce, Puerto Rico. Its original, main building, built in 1913, is architecturally significant as a well-preserved example of the Puerto Rican school buildings of the early 20th century, a period of great transformation in Puerto Rico under the American administration. It was designed by insular architect Albert B. McCulloch using the California Mission Revival and Classical Revival styles, as well as some Modernist elements associated with the work of Antonin Nechodoma.</p><br>
<p>The school was entered on the USA National Register of Historic Places in 2022.</p><br>
<p>The Haskelite Building, also known as the Haskell Manufacturing Company Building, is a former factory building located at 801 N.Rowe Street, Ludington, Mason County, Michigan. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on November 10, 2022. In 2022, the building was refurbished into residential apartments, known as the Lofts on Rowe.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The structure is a 45,000-square-foot, rectangular, three-story factory built with load-bearing brick walls and a flat roof, and a stone and concrete foundation. The main section was constructed between 1890 and 1895, with an addition in 1904 to 1911 that was twice the size of the original building. The main entry has a cream brick surround within a large round-arch with a keystone. The entry is flanked by two large segmental-arch windows containing a single pane of glass and a transom above. The second and third floors each contain six 9-over-9 wood-sash, double-hung, segmental-arch windows.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Four Ludington businessmen founded the Development Company of Ludington in 1892. Their aim was to develop a portion of the city into a manufacturing park and entice companies to move their manufacturing operations to Ludington. To that end, they platted out an addition to the city, laid in utilities, and constructed a railroad spur. They also built three manufacturing plants along Rowe Street, including this building. The first company to move into this building was the Mendelson Manufacturing Company, which made men&#39;s clothing. After the clothing company went out of business in 1894, the building remained empty until 1904 when furniture makers Tubbs Manufacturing Company moved in. Tubbs expanded the building to manufacture wood products, and stayed in residence until 1911.</p><br>
<p>In 1911, Henry L. Haskell&#39;s Carrom Company moved into the building. The company first made the Carrom game at the plant. Haskell then in 1916 formed the Haskell Manufacturing Company and started making canoes and boats on a mass-production basis from Haskelite plywood. Haskell used the moldable Haskelite waterproof plywood to construct canoes and boats, and also body parts for trucks, buses, automobiles, and airplanes.</p><br>
<p>Haskell opened a second factory plant in Grand Rapids to make plywood on a larger scale and in the 1930s consolidated operations there. The Haskelite Building in Ludington was then used less and less as time went on for production of plywood. The Wolverine Sportswear Company occupied the building starting in 1944. It made sportswear producing coats and jackets at the building for forty-five years. The final use as a commercial building was by Change Parts who occupied it from 1989 to 2019 making packaging equipment.</p><br>
<p>The owners of the building then donated it for conversion to affordable housing. The newly refurbished Lofts on Rowe apartments opened in 2022. The building now contains 67 units, split between studios, one bedroom, two bedroom, and three bedroom apartments.</p><br>

<p>The J. R. Willis House and La Miradora Apartments, also known as Casas de Suenos Old Town Country Inn, are a historic Spanish-Pueblo Revival style home and apartment complex in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The home and studio were built by H. W. Balay for Artist J. R. Willis in 1938. The adjacent apartments were constructed between 1938 and 1954. J. R. Willis was a photographer and artist, best known for his Indian photographs and paintings and Southwestern landscapes. J. R. Willis lived and worked in the home and studio through his death in December, 1960. The home, studio and apartments were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2005.</p><br>
<p>The most distinguishing feature of the property is the Hanna Studio Addition, the so-called "Snail House". This addition bridges the open space between the Willis House and studio. Completed in 1978, well after the period of significance and is not part of the historic designation.</p><br>
<p>The Elizabeth Hospital Building, at what is now 230 Poplar Street in Elizabeth, Louisiana, was apparently built in 1924.</p><br>
<p>Elizabeth was a sawmill town founded and platted by the Industrial Lumber Company in 1907, within a 70,000 acre area of long leaf yellow pine that the company acquired in 1905. The huge Elizabeth mill started operation in 1909, and Elizabeth became the companys headquarters. It supervised the lumber mills production capacity of up to 160,000 board-feet of lumber daily (using one shift), and 150,000 board-feet of daily capacity in two other mills at Oakland (about 180 miles north in Union Parish) plus more in a mill in Vinton (about 80 miles southwest), all connected by company-built railroads.</p><br>
<p>In 1907 the company owned mills in nearby Oakdale</p><br>
<p>and in Vinton. To expand production, in 1907 it opened a new mill at Elizabeth, in a 70,500 acre parcel of long leaf yellow pine that the firm acquired in 1905. It platted a mill site and town site, and opened operation in 1909.</p><br>
<p>The Industrial Lumber Company&#39;s mill at Elizabeth processed 160,000 bf/day. Given how the lumber industry worked in Louisiana in that era, this mill, like others, likely operated for only a few years, producing vast amounts of lumber, until all available forest in the area was clearcut.</p><br>
<p>The hospital building, a two-story frame structure, has a stone at its front steps with date 1924, but it may have been older. 1924 may have been when it was restored or rebuilt after a fire. It is 11 bays wide and two rooms deep, with a central corridor. It has "a central aedicule motif arched entrance under a pediment", and its "exterior features three different types of clapboarding, which lends a subtle textured effect." It is somewhat Colonial Revival in style."</p><br>
<p>By 1985, the town included only residential buildings (50 to 75 workers&#39; cottages, and several larger houses presumed to have been for managers), the hospital, the company-built Methodist church, and "a Catholic church which may or may not have been built by Industrial."</p><br>
<p>In 1985 the hospital building of the town was deemed "locally significant in the area of industry because it best represents the community&#39;s origins and early history</p><br>
<p>as a lumber company town."</p><br>
<p>In 1985 it was the Elizabeth Town Hall, in Town of Elizabeth. Before the 2020 census it became Village of Elizabeth.</p><br>
<p>In 2022, the building is still identified by sign above its front door as Elizabeth Town Hall.</p><br>
<p>St. Marys Catholic Church is a parish church of the Diocese of Davenport. The church is located in Nichols, Iowa, United States. The parish was found in 1874 in the Diocese of Dubuque in what was then called Nichols Station. At the same time, a church building was constructed. A resident pastor was assigned to the parish in 1877. St. Marys was incorporated into the Diocese of Davenport when it was founded in 1881. The original church building was destroyed in a fire. The present brick, Gothic Revival structure was completed in 1920. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2022.</p><br>
<p>Mount Pleasant Baptist Church and Cemetery a historic Baptist church and cemetery located in Gainesville, Prince William County, Virginia along USA Route 29. It is located on the site of a former community of black slaves emancipated after the American Civil War historically known as The Settlement and hosts a congregation tracing back to the 1870s. Built in 1928, the current building replaces three other church buildings that had existed in the community.</p><br>
<p>In 2012, Mount Pleasant Baptist Church would be subject to an arson attack, which left significant damage in latter additions to the building. The perpetrator of the attack, white nationalist hate group Wolves of Vinland member Maurice Thomson Michaely, would plea guilty to charges related to the attack and served two and a half years in jail and was ordered to pay restitution. The church has been closed to churchgoers and under repair since.</p><br>
<p>The site of the church and cemetery was added to the Virginia Landmarks Register in 2020 and the National Register of Historic Places in 2021.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<h3>Establishment and early church buildings</h3><br>
<p>Following the American Civil War (1861–1865), in the 1870s, emancipated black slaves would purchase land near Gainesville from a bankrupt farmer and form a community known as "The Settlement". The Mount Pleasant Baptist Church would be established on the land in 1877, and then relocated into a new church building built from logs at a different location within the community in 1882. A new church at this location was built in 1889 after the 1882 log church was destroyed by a fire, presumably caused by an arson attack. The church building would once again be replaced in 1928 by the building that currently stands. Throughout the 20th century, the church building had several additions to the rear side of the building.</p><br>
<h3>2012 arson attack</h3><br>
<p>On August 10, 2012, the church building survived an arson attack, in which nobody was inside the church at the time of the incident and no injuries were reported. While the original part of the building was mostly intact despite some smoke damage and broken windows, the fire caused severe damages to the latter rear-side additions of the building. It was not until almost 8 years later in June 2020, following the murder of George Floyd and the arise of subsequent protests, that the churchs reparation efforts were given widespread attention. To assist in funding the churchs now 5-year long campaign to repair the church, Delegate Danica Roem started a GoFundMe campaign, which raised over $20,000 in the span of two days and doubled the church&#39;s $10,000 goal for the first phase of the $100,000 total cost of reparations of the building.</p><br>
<p>The arsonist, Maurice Thomson Michaely from nearby Haymarket, was a minor at the time of the attack and had no prior criminal record. Nicknamed "Hjalti" as a member of the Lynchburg-based Norse neopagan group Wolves of Vinland, which has since been identified as a neo-Völkisch and white nationalist hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center, Michaely was not charged with a hate crime for defacing the historic black church, but eventually pled guilty on June 4, 2013 to felony arson, unlawfully entering property of another with the intent to damage, and maliciously destroying or defacing church property. He was sentenced to and served two and a half years in jail and was ordered by the court to pay $250 per month to the Mount Pleasant Baptist Church as restitution.</p><br>
<p>While the Mount Pleasant Baptist Church remains closed and under continuous repairs, the church&#39;s congregation is temporarily worshipping at the nearby Northern Virginia Baptist Center.</p><br>
<h3>Preservation</h3><br>
<p>In a September 2020 Board of County Supervisors meeting, attempts to block a plan for future development near the church were rejected by Prince William County supervisors. Previously, attempts to block Dominion Energy from constructing power lines through the area were successful in 2017, but commentors at the 2020 public hearing speculated that the rejection was to reserve land for future residential and commercial development instead.</p><br>
<p>On December 10, 2020, the Virginia Department of Historic Resources added Mount Pleasant Baptist Church and Cemetery to the Virginia Landmarks Register. Months later on February 19, 2021, the National Park Service added the church and cemetery site to the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>Cemetery</h2><br>
<p>The church&#39;s graveyard consists of around 200 graves, the earliest dating back to 1885.</p><br>
<p>Bryn Mawr Apartments is a historic building located in Des Moines, Iowa, United States. Built in 1918, it is significant as an example of the "kitchenette" type apartment building from the early years of the city&#39;s apartment boom. Designed by the prominent Des Moines architectural firm of Proudfoot, Bird and Rawson, "it is representative of the effort to increase profit on residential construction by eliminating the number of rooms in each unit."</p><br>
<p>The three-story brick structure contains 26 efficiency units. Each floor has eight units with two units in the basement, although one of the basement units is not historic. All of the units feature a combined sleeping/living space, dining room, kitchenette, bathroom, and closets. Historically, a Murphy bed was included in each unit. Each unit opens to the central corridor. In addition to the two units, the basement also includes storage, laundry, and maintenance areas. The exterior features a variety of window openings and a cast concrete and brick cornice. The main entrance is in the center of the main façade features a cast stone surround</p><br>
<p>with pilasters that support a lintel entablature with the building&#39;s name carved in it. The apartment building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2017.</p><br>
<p>Lafayette School is a fieldstone schoolhouse built in 1921 and located at 79 Mill Road in the Lower Berkshire Valley section of Roxbury Township in Morris County, New Jersey. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on September 1, 2022, for its significance in architecture. Designed by the architectural firm of Rasmussen & Wayland  from New York City, the school features American Craftsman style.</p><br>
<h2>History and description</h2><br>
<p>The first known schoolhouse in the valley was built. It burned down and was replaced with another. It was replaced by the Lafayette School, which was built as a two-room schoolhouse in 1921. The architect was the firm of Rasmussen & Wayland, who also designed several other New Jersey schools. American Craftsman and Carpenter Gothic architectural styles were featured, which emphasized the simple use of materials and craftsmanship. The general contractor was the Gallo Brothers of Netcong. The schoolhouse remained in use until 1964, when the Jefferson Elementary School was built in Succasunna. The building is currently used to store athletic equipment for Berkshire Valley Park.</p><br>
<p>The Arch Bridge from the Boonton Ironworks crosses the Rockaway River in Grace Lord Park in the town of Boonton in Morris County, New Jersey. The single-span fieldstone arch bridge was built by John Carson Sr. in 1866 to carry a water pipe to the ironworks. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on September 1, 2022, for its significance in engineering. It is currently used as a pedestrian bridge.</p><br>
<h2>History and description</h2><br>
<p>In 1866, Fuller & Lord, operators of the ironworks, hired local mason John Carson Sr. to construct a fieldstone arch bridge to carry a water pipe across the Rockaway River in the Boonton Gorge. The pipe would provide a reliable source of water for fire protection at the ironworks. Water from the Morris Canal was not always available. The bridge width is 9 feet and the length is 47 feet.</p><br>
<p>In 2020, the New Jersey Historic Trust funded the stabilization and restoration of the bridge, located in the New Jersey Register of Historic Places state-designated Boonton Ironworks Historic District.</p><br>
<p>The Boonton Public Library, also known as the Holmes Library, is located at 619 Main Street in the town of Boonton in Morris County, New Jersey. Built, the Greek Revival building was purchased by James Holmes in 1856 and became the public library in 1893. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on November 13, 1972, for its significance in communications, education, and social history. It was added as a contributing property to the Boonton Historic District on September 29, 1980.</p><br>
<h2>History and description</h2><br>
<p>In 1849, Eliza Ann Scott purchased the lot on the corner of Main and Church streets from the New Jersey Iron Company and soon built a two-story building, which was apparently used for commerce. In 1856, she sold it for $5,000 to James Holmes (1815–1893), who was superintendent of the Taylor & Lord Nail Factory and one of the wealthiest individuals in the community. He then used the building as his residence and added a third story. Upon his death in 1893, the property was bequeathed to the Boonton Public Library Association, along with $8,000 to fund its operation. Since the building was larger than the library needed, the extra space was rented to various organizations. In 1895, printing presses for The Boonton Times were installed in the basement. The library has been serving the town since 1894.</p><br>
<p>The Boonton Historic District is a 9 acre historic district along Main, Church, Birch, Cornelia, and Cedar Streets in the town of Boonton in Morris County, New Jersey. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on September 29, 1980, for its significance in architecture. The district has 22 contributing buildings, including the Boonton Public Library, which was previously listed individually on the NRHP.</p><br>
<h2>History and description</h2><br>
<p>The development of Boonton began with the construction of the Morris Canal along the Rockaway River from 1829 to 1830. The New Jersey Iron Company was organized and bought 200 acre of land here to construct an ironworks and company town. The district encompasses a residential section of the town and includes buildings that show the architectural changes from 1830 to 1890. In 1833, three houses had been built on Church Street, one of the first streets running uphill from Main Street. The public library was built and features Greek Revival architecture. The Garret Rickards House, at 211 Cornelia Street, is one of two octagon houses in the district. It was built based on the designs by Orson Squire Fowler and shows Italianate style. The First Presbyterian Church on the corner of Church and Birch Streets was built 1859–1860 and features Greek Revival and Gothic Revival styles. St. Johns Episcopal Church on Cornelia Street was designed by architect Richard Upjohn. It was built in 1863 with Carpenter Gothic style. The other octagon house, the Nathaniel Myers House, at 224 Cornelia Street, also built c.1854, was acquired by St. Johns Episcopal to serve as a rectory.</p><br>
<p>All Saints Episcopal Church  is a historic Episcopal parish church in Austin, Texas, United States. Built in 1899 on the edge of the University of Texas at Austin campus, the church has long-standing connections with the university&#39;s student body and faculty. The chapel was a project of Episcopal Bishop George Herbert Kinsolving, whose crypt is located under the church. It has been designated as a City of Austin Historic Landmark since 1980 and a Recorded Texas Historic Landmark since 2014, and it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2015.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In 1893, Bishop George Herbert Kinsolving of the Episcopal Diocese of Texas proposed that the Episcopal Church ought to establish a residence and chapel for female students at the University of Texas at Austin, which had opened ten years earlier. Students were initially housed within Kinsolvings home adjacent to campus, and then a residence building, called the Church Institute for Young Ladies, was completed in 1897; this building, which would later come to be known as "Grace Hall" (after Kinsolvings wife, Grace Jaggar Kinsolving), was the first womens residence at the University of Texas, preceding the first womens dormitory owned by the university, which opened in 1903.</p><br>
<p>Soon after the opening of Grace Hall, work began on an accompanying chapel for the use of the resident students. The cornerstone was laid on June 17, 1899, the first service was held on November 8, 1900, and the structure was consecrated and dedicated as All Saints Chapel on May 8, 1901. Though originally intended for the use of the female students living in Grace Hall, the chapel soon attracted other Episcopalians living in the neighborhood, including numerous UT professors. All Saints was recognized as a mission of the diocese on May 15, 1903, and elevated to the status of an independent parish on May 13, 1909.</p><br>
<p>In 1939 the chapels chancel was expanded to the east to enlarge the sanctuary and add new rooms. This also allowed Kinsolving, who had died in 1928, to be reinterred under the altar in 1940; It was listed to the National Register of Historic Places on August 24, 2015, in recognition of the churchs religious architecture and its historical importance to the university and the Episcopal Church in Texas.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The All Saints&#39; Episcopal Church sanctuary building exhibits traditional cruciform Christian church architecture, with a nave, transept and chancel oriented west-to-east. A square, steepled two-story bell tower is offset from the main axis at the northwest corner. The exterior walls are of rusticated ashlar masonry of gray limestone, laid 18 in thick, with contrasting smooth-faced stone around doors, windows, and other accents; the tower and nave are roofed in slate. The building is designed in a Gothic Revival style, with shallow buttresses, steep gables, and tall lancet windows. The original architect was A. O. Watson, and the 1939 expansion was designed by Marvin Eickenroht in the same style.</p><br>
<h3>Exterior</h3><br>
<p>The main facade is on the west, with the entry narthex in the base of the tower at the northwest corner, featuring wood-paneled glass doors set in a Gothic arch doorway. A gabled segment projecting forward from the wall, housing the baptistry, features a triple lancet stained glass window. The projection is flanked by another lancet window on either side in the main wall, and above it is a louvered double-lancet opening to ventilate the attic. At the top of the main wall is a recessed cross set into the masonry and surmounted by a trefoil. The rooflines of all the gable ends are topped by parapets capped with metal finials.</p><br>
<p>The other elevations include additional lancet windows and buttresses on the outside corners. The original portion of the sanctuary building is one story high, but the 1939 expansion extended the chancel to the east to include a second level below, accommodated by the downward slope of the land. The windows on the south face are glazed with amber and green diamond panes from the original construction, and the rest have been replaced with stained glass panels, most fabricated by Willet Stained Glass Studios of Philadelphia.</p><br>
<h3>Interior</h3><br>
<p>The interior of the sanctuary has oak floors, painted plaster walls with painted beaded board wainscots, and a ribbed barrel vault ceiling of painted beaded board. Seventeen rows of wooden pews fill the nave, with carpeted center and side aisles running through them. The chancel includes choir pews and features a pipe organ made by Casavant Frères of Quebec. The altar rail, bishops chair and baptismal font are all gifts from the Church of the Epiphany in Philadelphia, where Kinsolving was rector before coming to Texas. The sub-level beneath the chancel contains Kinsolvings crypt, where his remains were moved from Oakwood Cemetery after the chapel&#39;s expansion.</p><br>
