<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In the early part of the 20th century, Upjohn was a growing pharmaceutical firm in Kalamazoo. In the 1910s, the company purchased a group of parcels along what is now John Street, and began constructing new buildings. By 1934, however, the company needed much more space, and they contacted Albert Kahn to design a series of buildings. The first of these, a concentrate plant, was completed in 1934. The second building was this structure, known as "Building 24." This building was completed and ready for occupancy in November 1935. The remaining Kahn buildings were completed by the end of 1936.</p><br>
<p>This building originally housed administrative personnel. However, in 1936, these personnel moved into a building in Portage, Michigan, where Upjohn had already constructed a newer campus. Building 24 was converted to house Upjohn&#39;s International and Patent Law divisions, as well as some Research offices. In 1995, Upjohn merged with Pharmacia, and then in 2000 with Pfizer.

<p>The William E. Higginbotham Elementary School  is a former school located at 8730 Chippewa Avenue in Detroit.It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2022.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Detroit expanded greatly in the 1920s, and a number of new schools were constructed. In 1922, the city annexed the east side of what was then Greenfield Township, near this school. However, the new annexation specifically excluded what was a small working class community of Black residents. In 1924, this neighborhood was annexed, and the Detroit Board of Education planned to build an integrated school to service the area, However, White residents objected, and instead the Board acquired land to build this school to serve Black students. In 1926, the Board hired the Detroit architectural firm of N. Chester Sorensen Company to design the school. Construction began in 1927, with Stibbard Construction Company as general contractor, and the school was completed and opened in January 1928.</p><br>
<p>When it was opened, Higginbotham Elementary School served Black students in kindergarten through eighth grade, and had a capacity of 580 pupils. Additions were constructed in 1946 and 1948, but the school was still overcrowded enough that eighth grade students were moved to the nearby majority White Post Intermediate School. However, White parents objected, and Black students were moved back to Higginbotham, causing Black parents to picket until the Detroit Board of Education promised to resolve the issue.</p><br>
<p>However, as the 1950s wound on, Detroit&#39;s population declined, as did the student population at Higginbotham. By 1966, academic performance at Higginbotham was plunging. The building was later used as the High School of Commerce. In 2006, it became the home of the W. E. B. DuBois/Aisha Shule Preparatory Academy, a charter school which served grades six through twelve. The Academy closed in 2013, and the school building is owned by the city of Detroit.</p><br>
<p>In 2024, a $35.9 million redevelopment project was begun to turn the school into 100 units of affordable housing, known as the Higginbotham Art Residences. Construction is expected to be completed in early 2026.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The William E. Higginbotham Elementary School is a two-story multi-shaded beige brick Mediterranean Revival school with a roughly U-shaped footprint. The main 1927 building has a Spanish terra cotta tile hip roof while the later additions have flat roofs. On each facade, the window bays are divided by vertical brick piers.

<p>The Muheim House is a house located in Bisbee, Arizona, which is on the list of National Register of Historic Places. Built between 1898 and 1900, it had several additions up until 1905. It was named after Joseph Muheim, a local merchant, who helped develop the city of Bisbee.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Muheim House stands on an irregular lot at the head of Youngblood Avenue on a hill overlooking the old business district of Bisbee, within commanding view of the old business section of Bisbee along Brewery Gulch. The irregular plan, one-story frame house has a cross-gable roof and a cone-roofed, circular tower. The tower, which contains a 9-foot diameter parlor, is skirted by an 8 foot wide semi-circular porch. Vertical wainscoting on the front of the building accents the porch area. The porch roof is supported by turned posts with ornamental brackets. The original wooden porch has been replaced with concrete. The foundation is also concrete. Roof deterioration caused water damage. In the early 1960s, the top of the tower was removed in an attempt to stop leakage. This was rebuilt under an EDA project in 1977. Several original features remain, including wallpaper, rippled window glass, transoms, and iron fence posts. The house itself has a projecting front porch to take advantage of that view and it was constructed in stages.</p><br>
<p>Construction on the residence began in 1898, but Henry Showers, a long-time Muheim employee who built it, was extremely slow. In 1900, the house was almost completed, but it was already too small because of the birth of the Muheim&#39;s first child. The first addition to the house was begun before the roof of the original section was finished. Additions continued to be made as three more children arrived and by 1905 the house had reached its present proportions. The Muheim House was occupied by the family until I973. Mrs. Muheim died in I947 and her husband in 195I. Their son Henry lived there until his death in I973. In I975, the remaining children gave the house to the city on the condition that the Bisbee Council on the Arts & Humanities should restore and maintain it as a living museum.</p><br>
<h2>Joseph Muheim</h2><br>
<p>Joseph Maria Muheim (1867-1951) came from his native Switzerland to San Francisco in 1883. Two of his uncles, Frank and Henry Dubacher, were miners who had been in the USA for several years, arriving in Bisbee sometime before 1882. By 1886 they were engaged in the commercial life of Brewery Gulch. Young Joes first job, after he arrived in 1888, was to work as a bartender for his uncles. Muheim soon branched out into other activities. He grubstaked prospectors and contracted to supply wood and silica to the smelter. In a few years, he purchased his uncles saloon. He continued to prosper, and was one of the founders of the Miners & Merchants Bank. In partnership with his uncles and Baptiste Caretto, another prominent businessman, he built several buildings on Brewery Avenue and OK Street, including the Pythian Castle, the Philadelphia Hotel, and the Bisbee Ore newspaper building.</p><br>
<p>In 1898, Muheim married Carmelita La Forge, a French-Canadian born in Michigan and raised In Quebec. They met while she was working in her aunts boarding house in nearby Lowell. Muheims business interests continued to prosper and in 1905 he constructed the imposing Muheim Block (The Brewery) and the Orpheum Theatre at the foot of Brewery Avenue. The Muheim Block is an imposing building that still dominates the entrance to Brewery Gulch. It contained two stores, a restaurant, a saloon, and several offices. Muheim also had extensive mining interests, particularly in northern Mexico.</p><br>

The outlaw Jesse James lived in Edgefield and his address was 712 Fatherland Street. In 1869 Edgefield became a city, and in 1880, it was annexed by the city of Nashville. The city of Edgefield originally earned its name from Governor Neill S. Brown: he named it for the plains along the river.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>

<p>The Jonson Gallery is a historic building on the campus of the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque, New Mexico, which was completed in 1950 as a combination home and gallery for the modernist painter Raymond Jonson. During Jonsons lifetime and afterwards, the gallery was a center for modern and abstract art in New Mexico, as well as housing a large collection of Jonsons own works. In 2009, the gallery&#39;s collections were absorbed into the University of New Mexico Art Museum and the former gallery building was converted to office space.</p><br>
<p>The Jonson Gallery is a relatively sparse Pueblo Revival style building designed by John Gaw Meem, who also designed several other buildings on the university campus. It sits on a hillside with one story above grade in the front and two in the back. The front elevation consists of a main horizontal volume, with a centered front entrance flanked by asymmetrical windows, and a lower wing projecting to the west. Steel casement windows with concrete sills are used throughout. The upper floor housed Jonson&#39;s residence, while the gallery space was on the lower floor. Multiple additions were constructed at the rear of the building over the years.</p><br>
<p>The James N. Gladding House is a historic house in the Spruce Park neighborhood of Albuquerque, New Mexico. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places both individually and as a contributing property in the Spruce Park Historic District. The house was built in 1926 by James N. Gladding, who was the president of the Southwestern Construction Company and a partner in the Gaastra & Gladding architecture firm with T. Charles Gaastra. Gladding was the developer of the Spruce Park neighborhood, then known as the Country Club Addition, and built the house as a model home for the subdivision. He later lived there himself from 1928 to 1934. Later residents included novelist Conrad Richter and a local artist who constructed a studio at the rear of the property.</p><br>
<p>The house is notable as a fine example of the Pueblo Revival style architecture which was popular in Albuquerque during the interwar period. It is a one-story, L-shaped adobe building organized around a walled courtyard. The house is one room deep and has a portal or veranda, supported by corbelled wooden posts and vigas, along both sides of the courtyard. Two later additions were constructed at the rear of the house, a freestanding artist&#39;s studio, and a two-story addition which joined the studio to the main house.</p><br>
<p>The John H. Norton and Company Store is an historic structure in Willcox, Arizona, United States. Built circa 1880, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Willcox Commercial Company building, built c. 1880, is a large (84 x 100) single story adobe commercial structure with a two-story dwelling (20 x 60) incorporated into the rear. It faces southeast on Railroad Avenue in Willcox. Railroad Avenue is parallel with the Southern Pacific Railroad track alignment and historically was the focus of commercial life in Willcox. That focus has since shifted, but the Willcox Commercial Company is</p><br>
<p>one of the major resources of the locally designated Railroad Avenue Historic District.</p><br>
<p>The present configuration of the Willcox Commercial Company is the result of an early evolutionary adaptive process. The 20x100 center section was constructed first, c. 1880. The north 40 x 100 section was then added sometime before 1900, and the south 24 x 80 section was built last, c. 1920. The original ornate pressed metal storefront above the display windows was removed in the early 1920s and replaced with rusticated metal panels. The awning was also lowered at that time. The main section of the facade features a continuous commercial storefront with three bay-wide display windows and transoms flanking a recessed central entry bay. Continuing to the south, two additional storefronts extend the facade to its full width. A stepped parapet wall finished with rusticated pressed metal rises above the display windows, and a flat awning supported by struts and posts projects from this surface. A vestige of the original boomtown facade remains, forming the appearance of the second story. The north elevation has five windows situated below the eave line and a water table extends the full length of the building. Quoins articulate the northeast corner.</p><br>
<p>The west (rear) elevation features a two-story residential section approximately 20 x 60, surmounted by a gable roof. Openings include paired entry doors and flanking windows below and large paired one-over-one double hung windows above. The remainder of this elevation is one story with typical openings for rear access. The south elevation is hidden by an adjacent commercial building. The gable roof is finished with corrugated tin panels. The ridge is situated over the center of the north section and slopes over the center and south sections of the building, Skylights, now covered over, were originally found near the rear of the center section, north section, and on the two story living area to the rear.</p><br>
<p>The interior of the Willcox Commercial Company reflects both its evolutionary additive character and its commercial use. The large volume is divided into two bays with the dividing wall exhibiting an early smaller opening and one larger opening made in 1972. The floors are finished throughout with hardwood, and the ceiling in each of the three sections is finished with pressed metal in different patterns. The ceiling of the north bay is insulated with a thick layer of dirt, a method not uncommon to early construction in Arizona.</p><br>
<p>The rear of the north bay features an office balcony which retains its original spaces, materials, and some furnishings, including a large safe. The balustrade leading to the office features square, boxed newel posts capped with marble. A living area is connected to the office balcony and most of the original floor plan is intact.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The area in which Willcox is located was the primary focus of the United States military campaign against the Chiricahua in the second half of the 19th century. As part of this campaign, Fort Bowie was established in 1862, approximately 25 miles southeast of present-day Willcox. This was the only outpost of civilization in the area until Fort Grant was established 35 miles to the north in 1872. Later, Fort Thomas was established 60 miles to the north in 1833.</p><br>
<p>A second major influence in the development of the region was the construction of the Southern Pacific Railroad. Grading for the alignment was underway in Sulphur Springs Valley in 1877, and a temporary camp was set up at the present site of Will cox by 1878. By 1880 the railroad reached Willcox and the settlement was well on its way to becoming a permanent town in the Arizona Territory. An article in the Arizona Daily Star on October 28, 1880, reported that a building boom was underway with tents being replaced by permanent stone and adobe structures. At that time the town was named in honor of General O. B. Willcox, commander of the Department of Arizona.</p><br>
<p>A third major factor in the historical development of Willcox was the cattle ranching industry. At that time Sulphur Springs Valley was one of the finest stock ranges in the west. Willcox developed into a supply point for ranchers throughout the region due to the presence of the railroad and quickly grew to importance as a cattle shipping center.</p><br>
<p>The Willcox Commercial Company originated through the efforts of John H. Norton, and M. W. Stewart, two of the earliest businessmen in the community. Norton was a post trader at Fort Grant in 1876 and recognized the larger regional opportunities of the mercantile business. He joined forces with Stewart, and in 1880 they set up the John H. Norton and Company in Willcox. The first portion of the present building was erected at this time along with a large warehouse. By 1884 they had a large warehouse, corral and feedyard, beside a large store. In addition to providing the local ranchers and cowboys with needed supplies, the store served the military posts at Fort Bowie, Fort Grant, and Fort Thomas throughout their existence. Norton and Stewart also ran a six horse stage coach line to all three installations.</p><br>
<p>The John H. Norton and Company store continued to serve the area while Will cox enjoyed a steady growth over the next 25 years. Around the turn of the century, Stewart sold his interest to Henry A. Morgan, who had been the bookkeeper for the store at Fort Grant. The Norton-Morgan Commercial Company expanded its Willcox facilities by building an addition to the north on the corner of Railroad Avenue and Stewart Street. Both wholesale and retail business was carried, and c. 1920 a new addition was built on the south.</p><br>
<p>A post World War I recession resulted in the sale of the business in 1923 to Guy and Hazel Holt, who changed the name to the Willcox Commercial Company. The Holts owned and operated the business until 1937 when it was sold to Holt&#39;s sister and brother-in-law, Edith and Lynn Camp. The Camps operated the business until 1974 when it was sold to Richard and Leona Seidel.</p><br>
<p>As a major supplier of commercial goods from its inception in 1880 to the present, the Willcox Commercial Company has consistently played a large role in the economic life of Willcox and southeastern Arizona. The significance of the Willcox Commercial Company building is also derived from its association with locally prominent individuals, John H. Norton and Henry A. Morgan. Norton was born near Boston in 1847 and emigrated west to Colorado where, by 1869, he owned a general merchandise store. In 1876 he operated the commissary at Fort Grant and quickly became one of the region&#39;s major entrepreneurs. He eventually owned half a dozen stores in northern Cochise County. In addition to those at Fort Grant and Willcox, he owned mercantile establishments in Pearce, Cochise, and Johnson. Henry A. Morgan was associated with the Norton-Morgan Commercial Company during the first two decades of the 20th century. He was a local community leader for 40 years and had the distinction of serving as the first mayor of Willcox.</p><br>
<p>The Eighth Street–Forrester Historic District is a historic district in the Downtown Neighborhood of Albuquerque, New Mexico which primarily encompasses the two parallel streets Eighth Street and Forrester Avenue between Lomas Boulevard and Mountain Road. The district is almost entirely residential, consisting mainly of well preserved lower-middle-class homes built between 1905 and 1915.

The district was added to the New Mexico State Register of Cultural Properties in 1979 and the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.</p><br>
<p>Oasis Court is a historic auto court located in Benson, Arizona. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1994.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Oasis Court is an example of an auto court, a popular property type during the 1920s and 1930s, when Benson was becoming a major junction point in the national and state highway system. As typical in the evolution of auto courts, it probably began as an auto campground in the 1920s, adding sleeping units and other buildings in the 1930s. A typical auto court, the Oasis Court featured buildings set back from the access road and spread out over several lots to accommodate automobiles. It is located on the south side of 4th Street, occupying six lots. The building configuration is a modified U, with buildings surrounding a large open space used for parking. Large signs, including one of neon, identify the property from the street. The walls are stuccoed wood frame on concrete footings. Floors are slab on grade. Roofs are flat and of rolled composition on two of the buildings. The main structure, with the sleeping rooms, has a foam covered, corrugated metal roof.</p><br>
<p>The original builders of the Oasis Court were Charles and Minnie Gardner. A former owner was Lyndon L Margrave, an archaeologist and ornithologist, who purchased half interest in the block where the Oasis Court is located in 1940. In the mid-1940s, Mr. Margrave and his wife purchased the entire block and made improvements to the property. They commissioned noted Western artist, Vern Parker, to paint the signs. Huge kachinas and totem poles adorned the property. The buildings were at that time painted a deep Venetian red. The shop featured Native American and Mexican crafts. The name "Oasis Court," the vivid color of the buildings, the Pueblo Revival Style influences in the style, totem poles and the theme shop were tourist-attracting characteristics typical of this property type throughout the southwest.</p><br>
<h2>Appearance</h2><br>
<p>The U-shaped auto court featured three separate one-story buildings built on the tradition of the Pueblo Revival Style. The buildings had parapeted walls with irregular, rounded edges and stucco wall surfaces. To the south, a basically U-shaped building with sculptured parapet walls on three sides housed the individual sleeping units, with covered carports integrated into the building. There was no parapet wall to the rear, to allow the sloped roof to drain. Doors to the individual sleeping rooms were readily accessible to the automobile parking area. Windows were nine light wood Casement window in front and one-over-one light double hung in the rear. The parapet walled building to the northeast of the site, near 4th Street, included a gift shop and residential quarters for the owners. To the west, a small parapet walled utility building was located.</p><br>
<p>Over the years much of the property has been restored and renovated. The original residential quarters/gift shop now houses a title company, while the sleeping room building is no longer used for overnight accommodations but has been converted to apartments, an office, and a gift shop. The buildings have been restuccoed, reroofed, and repainted. The color is now beige with dark brown trim. The driveway/parking area has been graveled, some of the original wooden casement windows have been replaced by metal casements, and some awnings have been added.</p><br>
<p>The Charles LeFeber House is a historic house in the Downtown Neighborhood of Albuquerque, New Mexico. It was built in 1909 and was the home of Charles A. LeFeber , a local contractor, until his death. LeFeber probably built the house himself. It was listed on the New Mexico State Register of Cultural Properties in 1979 and the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.</p><br>
<p>The house is notable for its unusual architecture. It is an eclectic cottage with "touches of Tudor Revival styling", and does not resemble any other designs that were popular at the time. In particular, it has a very unusual gable roof with sloped ends and an angled porch roof supported by two Doric columns. The house originally had clapboard siding but is now stuccoed.</p><br>
<p>The Robert Dietz Farmhouse is a historic house in the North Valley of Albuquerque, New Mexico. It was originally a one-story farmhouse built in 1914 by Robert Dietz, a native of Syracuse, New York, who moved to Albuquerque in 1910 like many others seeking treatment for tuberculosis. A second story was added in 1928, turning the building into a "grand home". The Dietz family lived and farmed there until the 1940s. It was listed on the New Mexico State Register of Cultural Properties in 1983 and the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.</p><br>
<p>The Dietz house is a two-story stuccoed frame building aligned along a north–south axis. The house design is a vernacular adaptation of Prairie School architecture, with a low, overhanging hip roof, and sash windows arranged in bands surrounded by wooden trim to "create an impression of horizontality". The house has over 100 windows in total. A stable on the property is also included in the National Register listing.</p><br>
<p>The C. M. Foraker Farmhouse was a historic house in the Near North Valley neighborhood of Albuquerque, New Mexico. It was built near the turn of the 20th century and was purchased around 1900 by C. M. Foraker, the last USA Marshal for New Mexico Territory before New Mexico gained statehood in 1912. Foraker&#39;s daughter Mary still owned the house at the time of its National Register of Historic Places listing in 1984. It was also listed on the New Mexico State Register of Cultural Properties in 1983.</p><br>
<p>In 2005, the farmhouse was listed as one of the most endangered historic places in New Mexico. It burned down in March, 2008.</p><br>
<p>The house, a notable early example of an "Anglo" style house in the predominantly Hispanic North Valley, was a one-and-a-half-story building of terron (sod brick) and frame construction. The main body of the house was rectangular, with two projecting wings at the rear. One of these wings was original and the other was added in 1926. The house had a tall hip roof with dormers on all four sides and a screened porch with original turned wooden posts. The house also retained original wooden 1-over-1 sash windows and interior trim.</p><br>
<p>The Nashville Financial Historic District or Wall Street of the South is a historic district in downtown Nashville, Tennessee. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places listings in Davidson County, Tennessee  on March 20, 2002.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Buildings in the district were constructed from 1900-1974. The district boundaries are Third Avenue North and Union Street. The district was once known as the Wall Street of the South because it has four large bank buildings. The buildings are: the 1926 Nashville Bank and Trust Company building designed by architectural firm Asmus & Clark, The opulent Nashville Trust building, the 1926 American Trust Building designed by Henry C. Hibbs and the 1922 Federal Reserve Bank Building. The district helped Nashville to become a regional banking center.</p><br>
<p>The Meux Home is a historic mansion located in Fresno, California. It was the residence of Thomas Richard Meux, a physician who served Fresno in the initial stages of the city&#39;s growth.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<h3>Meux family background</h3><br>
<p>Thomas Richard Meux was born on August 6, 1838, near Stanton, Tennessee. He received a degree from the University of Virginia then continued his education the University of Pennsylvania, studying medicine. After graduating in 1860, he moved back to Tennessee and started a medical practice. Along with his brother, John, Thomas Meux enlisted in the 9th Tennessee Infantry Regiment on May 24, 1861, just as the American Civil War was breaking out. His brother died a year later from wounds sustained in the Battle of Shiloh.</p><br>
<p>Thomas Meux applied his medical skills while on the battlefield, unofficially at first, then was officially commissioned as an assistant surgeon. He continued to serve as an assistant surgeon until he was discharged by surrender in North Carolina on in May 1865.</p><br>
<p>Remaining in Tennessee after the war, Meux married Mary Esther Davis in 1874. They started a family but decided to move the Central Valley of California. The Meux family arrived at the Southern Pacific Hotel in Fresno in December 1887 and went to work building a permanent home.</p><br>
<h3>Home in Fresno</h3><br>
<p>After arriving in Fresno, Meux established his medical practice and sought to build a home for his family. He chose the corner of Tulare and R streets as the homesite and enlisted a builder. At the time of construction, the area was very sparsely populated. The only other houses in the area were those of William Wyatt at R and Mariposa Streets and O. J. Woodward at Q and Mariposa Streets. O. J. Woodward later donated the land for Woodward Park.</p><br>
<p>Meux and his family moved into the newly built house in January 1889. He served as a physician for the rapidly growing Fresno area. In recognition of his medical contributions, the Fresno County Medical Society made him president. He was also a Methodist and involved with the Fresno County Democratic Club. Thomas Meux died in 1929 and was buried in the Mountain View Cemetery.</p><br>
<p>The Meux family home was not sold or altered after the death of Thomas Meux. The family continued to live in it, which allowed it to remain in mostly the same condition as when it was built, with the same architectural flourishes. One Meux daughter married local politician Henry E. Barbour in a ceremony which took place in the home&#39;s parlor in 1907. His son, John Meux, was a Fresno area rancher. The other Meux daughter, Anne, lived in the home until her death in 1970.</p><br>
<h3>Conversion to museum and legacy</h3><br>
<p>The city of Fresno purchased the mansion from the nephew of Anne Meux in 1973 for $55,000. It began a restoration process estimated to cost an additional $50,000. Following the completed restoration, it was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975 and opened to visitors as a museum the same year. The building is also listed on the city of Fresno register of historic places as well as the Fresno county list of historic places. The museum showcases local history as well as the Victorian style dating back to the 1890s.</p><br>
<p>In 2004, a small scale replica of the Meux Home was built in a new city park called "Trolley Creek" in southeast Fresno.</p><br>
<p>In 2021, there was a discussion about changing the name of the museum due to Thomas Meux&#39;s connection to the Confederate States Army. No name change was agreed upon.</p><br>
<p>It is one the oldest homes in Fresno and is significant for its elaborate style and for remaining mostly unchanged from its time of construction.</p><br>
<h2>Design</h2><br>
<p>The Meux Home sits at the intersection of Tulare and R streets on the east end of downtown Fresno. It consists of two stories, a basement and attic rooms. It is asymmetrical in style and reflects the eclectic architectural tastes of its era.</p><br>
<h3>Interior</h3><br>
<p>The interior is Victorian in style. Decorations cover every wall and ceiling using a papered finish, as well as carved woodwork and stained glass windows. The stair balusters are heavy, turned-wood and the six fireplaces have intricate patterns of tile around them.</p><br>
<p>The house was constructed before electricity was available, so all lighting fixtures were constructed to be gas-fed. Even after electricity became available, several light fixtures retained their gas fittings, in case of an outage. The kitchen has been updated with an electric refrigerator and a gas-fueled range, but a wood burning range remains there, as well as a wooden icebox.</p><br>
<h3>Exterior</h3><br>
<p>The exterior is most recognized by the conical turret in one corner. The home is sheltered by trees and shrubs with a porch that extends around three elevations of the house. The porch has carved details at the railing and stairs.</p><br>
<p>A French Renaissance influence is seen in the chimney details, while the finials at the intersection of roof hips invoke Victorian Gothic. A few different types of siding cover the exterior as well as other contrasting textures, including staggered shingles, patterned shingles and beveled shiplap siding.</p><br>
<p>Our Lady of Victory Catholic Church is a historic church located in Pearce, Arizona. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2004.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The building is one of only three extant buildings from the era when Pearce was a thriving community between 1900-1920s. Unlike other southwestern states, Arizona contains very few rural vernacular adobe churches. In addition, of the 1,032 adobe buildings on the NRHP, only 15 are churches.</p><br>
<p>The church is constructed of adobe, and covers approximately 1200 square feet in a cruciform plan. There is a cupola-style belfry over the gabled entrance. The interior walls and ceiling are plaster, and it has a tongue and groove hardwood floor. The only portion of the roof which is gabled is that over the entry, while the other three roof sections have hipped roofs, covered with corrugated steel. A non-historic addition was added at some point, 14 foot by 14 foot, inserted in the northwest quadrant of the cuneiform. It has a concrete foundation, and walls of cement stucco.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The church was constructed sometime during 1916–1917, and is part of the post-territorial adobe revival period. In early 20th century America, there were typically one of three types of churches: Parish, Mission, or Station. Parish churches had a building and a resident priest; Mission churches had a building, but not a resident priest, instead being served by a visiting priest from a nearby parish; while Station churches had neither a resident priest nor a building, instead the visiting priest would hold services in whatever building/space was available. As of 1900, Pearce was a station of Benson. Over the years their status changed to stations of Nogales and Solomonville. After construction of this church, it became a mission of Solomonville, then in 1918 its mission was changed to Tombstone. The church was little used during the 1930s, and little is known of it during the 1940s and 1950s, but by 1961 it was no longer in use. When the town of Sunsites was established nearby in 1961, the areas population began to increase, and by 1963 the church was back in service. It remained in service until 1969 when increasing numbers prompted the construction of St. Judes, about four miles to the north. The church&#39;s bell was transferred to the new structure. The Diocese of Tucson sold the building to private parties.</p><br>
<p>The Jeremiah Vandyke House, also known as the Andrew B. Hankins House, is a historic house located at 91 Featherbed Lane in Hopewell Township of Mercer County, New Jersey, United States. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on March 29, 1978, for its significance in architecture.</p><br>
<p>The home is of interest because it is one of few of this style of home that would have been, at the time, a very common and unremarkable Dutch Colonial fieldstone house. The original stone part of the building measures 29x16 feet and consists of a single room downstairs with a central staircase. The west end of this room has an open fireplace with an oak lintel. The east wall has a smaller fireplace with a simple early 19th century mantel. The exposed ceiling has chamfered hewn oak beams, carrying wide floorboards. Upstairs are two bedrooms and a short hallway.</p><br>
<p>The Shoup Boarding House was a historic boarding house in the Barelas neighborhood of Albuquerque, New Mexico. It was probably built between 1886 and 1891, a period when the recent completion of the railroad brought a great deal of economic activity, and consequent need for new housing, to the city. Joseph Shoup  ran the rooming house until 1932, and it remained in operation at the time of its National Register of Historic Places listing in 1983. It was the oldest surviving boarding house in the city. It was also listed on the New Mexico State Register of Cultural Properties in 1980. The building was demolished before 1991.</p><br>
<p>The boarding house was a two-story, T-shaped building consisting of two distinct sections. The front section was constructed from brick, with a truncated hip roof and a large porch with Queen Anne trim. The rear wing was of frame construction, with a gable roof and several closely spaced doors and windows. The building contained nine rooms on the ground floor and 17 on the second floor.</p><br>
<p>Pearce General Store is an historic building in Pearce, Arizona. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The store was built in 1893. The store was built by the Soto Brothers, originally a lumber structure, but within two months it was replaced with the current adobe structure. During the town&#39;s heyday in the late 1890s, it was the most important building in the mining boomtown, serving as the mercantile and banking center, as well as the post office. While the town faded in the 1900s, the nearby mine which was the main employer in the area, declined, and by the end of World War I, the mine was only worked sporadically through World War II. Even has the town diminished, the store continued to serve local ranchers and tourists. Albert Roth purchased the store in 1936, who sold it to Irving Cornish in 1939. In 1942 Raymond Dooley, president of Lincoln College in Illinois, who retained it until 1968 when it was purchased by Mr. and Mrs. John Thurman of Chicago. All of the owners insisted on retaining the 1890s fixtures and appearance of the store. When it was entered on the NHRP, it had been in continuous operation as a general store since its inception in 1893. From 1988 through 1990, the building was used as a museum of western memorabilia, until it closed in November 1990, and its contents sold at auction.</p><br>
<h2>Appearance</h2><br>
<p>The building is on the southwest corner of Ghost Town Trail and Pearce Road, facing east. The adjoining lumber and wagon yards are south of the store. It is a rectangular building measuring 180 feet by 45 feet, with a gabled roof, and a boomtown facade on the front of the building. There is a shed roof porch running the width of the building, with a double entry door, flanked by large arched windows and pressed metal pilasters. Windows on the sides of the building are also arched, but not as large. There is a 20 square foot basement beneath the store, reached by a trap door. The ceiling is 14 feet high, and covered with embossed metal. When it was entered into the NHRP, ten-foot shelves lined the side walls, with rolling ladders. Original fixtures included a pot-bellied stove, safe, roll-top desk, 5-drawer cash register, glass showcases, and other mercantile paraphernalia.</p><br>
<p>Zimmerman Library is the historic main library of the University of New Mexico, located near the center of the university campus in Albuquerque, New Mexico. It is one of the largest and most notable buildings designed by New Mexico architect John Gaw Meem and is the centerpiece of the UNM Libraries, the largest library system in New Mexico with almost 4 million print volumes. It was built in 1936–38 with funding from the Public Works Administration and Works Progress Administration, with further additions completed in 1966 and 1973. The building was named for former university president James Fulton Zimmerman in 1961. It was added to the New Mexico State Register of Cultural Properties and the National Register of Historic Places in 2016.</p><br>
<p>The library is a nine-story, Pueblo Revival style building constructed from reinforced concrete, brick, and structural clay tile. The original 1938 section of the library consists of a great hall, five reading rooms, and the central nine-story stack tower, which was designed to hold 225,000 volumes. The interior trim and furnishings were handmade by local artisans employed by the WPA, including hand-carved corbels, vigas, and heating register covers, wrought-iron banisters, door handles, and gates, and punched-tin light fixtures. Four murals in the great hall were created by Kenneth Miller Adams. To the east of the original section are two additions, completed in 1966 and 1973 respectively, which brought the total size of the library to approximately 224,000 ft2.</p><br>
<h2>Zimmerman Library Fire</h2><br>
<p>On April 30, 2006, a fire in the basement of the building triggered the fire alarms and alerted staff and patrons to evacuate the building quickly. Although the Albuquerque Fire Department arrived within minutes, the fire destroyed 30,000 bound periodicals and melted light fixtures and shelves. The incident caused smoke damage throughout the entire library, and the efforts in putting out the fire caused even more damage to the materials, prompting the removal of water-damaged materials beyond repair. Investigators on the scene suspected arson as the cause and confirmed that an accelerant was used to start the fire.</p><br>
<p>In the days following the disaster, the University Libraries (UL) staff relied on their emergency plans and developed protocols with the intent to recover as much of the material as possible. Because of the damage from the fire, the basement at Zimmerman Library was promptly redesigned to be more patron-friendly and incorporate more study areas. The remodel also included the installation of fire suppression sprinklers, which Zimmerman did not have when the disaster occurred.</p><br>
<p>Eighth Avenue South Reservoir is a man-made masonry reservoir in Nashville, Tennessee. The reservoir was built on Kirkpatrick&#39;s Hill which was the former site of Fort Casino: a Union Army fort in the American Civil War. Completed in 1889, it ruptured in 1912 causing much property damage, and was repaired in 1914. In 1978, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places listings in Davidson County, Tennessee . The reservoir is the largest and oldest working reservoir supplying water to the city of Nashville, and remains in use.</p><br>
<h2>Design and construction</h2><br>
<p>The city of Nashville, Tennessee, sought to improve its waterworks in the late nineteenth century. The Mayor and the City Council directed the Board of Public Works and Affairs to hire a hydraulic engineer to determine the best location for a reservoir. Engineer Charles Hermany was hired and he determined that Curry Hill was the least expensive option at a construction cost of US$401,589.00. City engineer J. A. Jowett estimated that it would cost US$362,375 to build the masonry reservoir structure on Kirkpatricks Hill instead. (This had previously been the site of Fort Casino, a Union Army fort built during the American Civil War.) Jowetts recommendation was selected and the final cost of construction was $364,525.21, equal to roughly $11,795,996.17 in 2022.</p><br>
<p>The project was designed by Jowett in 1887 and the reservoir was completed in 1889. The construction contractors for the two-year project were Whitsett and Adams with a force of more than 550 workers. Many of the stones used were taken from the ruins of nearby Fort Negley, hauled by African American laborers, and from a quarry on Curry Hill.</p><br>
<p>The reservoir is above-ground and has an elliptical shape, which are separated by a north–south center wall. Atop this wall is a brick Victorian-style gatehouse which houses operating valves and also provides lodgings for a custodian. There is a path along the top of the reservoir where Nashville residents used to walk and ride bicycles. The path was closed in 1917 due to public fears during World War I that Germans might try to poison the drinking water.</p><br>
<p>Built on a defective foundation of "thin layers of limestone interspersed with clay", the reservoir was prone to leakage, as became evident when the southeastern wall collapsed in 1912.</p><br>
<h2>1912 collapse</h2><br>
<p>At approximately 12:00 a.m. on November 5, 1912, the southeastern side of the reservoir&#39;s main wall ruptured in a 175 ft V-shaped breach which allowed nearly 25 e6USgal of water to flood the nearby neighborhood. There was no loss of life, but five homes were completely destroyed. The collapse led city officials to order concrete reinforcement of the reservoir.</p><br>
<p>The Nashville Tennessean reported that the flood had washed away homes and forced people to climb trees to escape. One family was also carried out by the waters while lying in bed. George R. Zepp states in his book Hidden History of Nashville that "T. M. Heffy of 1502 Eighth Street was swept away still lying in the floating bed he shared with his wife and child". The property damage suffered by those in the path of the flood water was estimated to be between $75,000 and $100,000. In addition to the five destroyed homes there were twenty-five other homes which were considerably damaged by the flood. Furniture, dead chickens, rocks and clothing were strewn about the streets the next morning.</p><br>
<h3>Repairs</h3><br>
<p>The center wall dividing the reservoir into two basins held, and prevented the loss of water from the western half. Engineers determined that the reservoir could be repaired and would not need to be reconstructed elsewhere. A contractor was hired to repair the wall using concrete and the original stones. The repairs were completed in 1914 at a cost of $70,000.</p><br>
<p>Also in 1914, 20 acre of land to the south of the reservoir was set aside as a public park.</p><br>
<h2>Operations</h2><br>
<p>A pumping station (named the George Reyer Pumping Station in 1932 and later incorporated into the Omohundro Water Treatment Plant) was built of limestone and brick and completed the same year as the reservoir. It pumped raw water from the Cumberland River into the western half of the reservoir, where sediment was allowed to settle. The water was then filtered into drinkable water as it entered the eastern half. In 1908, a system was implemented to clarify the water through sedimentation and coagulation. In 1909, a sterilization process was introduced.</p><br>
<p>Following the discovery of leaks in 1920, both chambers of the reservoir were relined and waterproofed. In 1974 the reservoir was covered with a polyvinyl material. In the 1990s the city of Nashville began to add purifying chemicals to the water. In February 2022, a new tank was being installed with a design to churn the water to prevent it from becoming stagnant. This renovation project was expected to take years to complete.</p><br>
<p>As of 2022, the structure remains operational as a storage facility for purified water. It is the largest and oldest of the 37 reservoirs supplying water to the city of Nashville. In recent decades, seismic meters have been used to monitor ground movement or excess moisture which could indicate possible problems.</p><br>
<h2>Historical preservation</h2><br>
<p>In 1971, the American Water Works Association (AWWA) designated the Eighth Avenue South Reservoir as an American Water Landmark for its historical significance. It was one of the first 14 facilities in the US to receive this distinction.</p><br>
<p>The reservoir was added to the National Register of Historic Places on March 30, 1978. Two months later, the George Reyer Pumping Station was also added to the NRHP.</p><br>
<p>Cashier is a former two-masted Delaware Bay oyster schooner located at the Bayshore Center in the Bivalve section of Commercial Township in Cumberland County, New Jersey. She was added to the National Register of Historic Places on February 8, 2016, for her significance in agriculture and maritime history. According to the nomination form, she is the "oldest, continuously-worked American-flagged merchant vessel in the United States".</p><br>
<h2>History and description</h2><br>
<p>Built in Cedarville by Milton Duffield, she was launched in 1849 and worked the waters around Bivalve until 2000. An engine, shaft, and propeller were added in 1916. One mast was removed in 1938. She is currently sunk in a boat slip in a marsh of the Maurice River at the Bayshore Center. An exhibit, "Cashier&#39;s Pilothouse", is featured at the museum.</p><br>
<p>The East Des Moines Industrial Historic District is a nationally recognized historic district located in the East Village of Des Moines, Iowa, United States, directly east of the Downtown Des Moines area. At the time of its nomination it consisted of 45 resources, which included 31 contributing buildings, four contributing sites, three contributing structures, six non-contributing buildings and two non-contributing structures. It also includes the Northwestern Hotel, which was individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places . The historic district was listed on the NRHP in 2017.</p><br>
<p>The period of significance is c. 1874, when the oldest building in the district was built, to 1956. It is a rare-surviving group of manufacturing, warehousing, and railroad-related properties in the city. In 1957 plans for what is now Interstate 235 were announced. Urban Renewal districts were added to this area in subsequent decades, which brought an end to investment in the district. The contributing buildings are the last remaining warehouse and manufacturing buildings that are left on the near east side of Des Moines. The contributing structures include two railroad bridges and a pump house and the contributing sites are the locations of extant or former railroad rail bed and rail siding segments. The district&#39;s "buildings, structures, and sites that show variety in architectural appearance, materials, and technological progression reflective of the period of significance."</p><br>
<p>The Washington and Elizabeth Miller Tract-Center-Soll Community Historic District is a nationally recognized historic district located in Des Moines, Iowa, United States. At the time of its nomination it consisted of 471 resources, which included 297 contributing buildings and 174 non-contributing buildings. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2017.</p><br>
<p>The historic district is a late-nineteenth and early-twentieth-century middle-class residential neighborhood. It was developed by the Miller family who had previously farmed the land and operated a nursery there. The neighborhood was built along the Ingersoll streetcar route. Once developed the residents formed the Center-Soll Community Association, which "sought to increase neighborly relations, market the neighborhood, protect property values, and keep out commercial intrusions north of Ingersoll Avenue." Better Homes & Gardens featured the association in 1924, and it was considered a replicable model for other communities.</p><br>
<p>The houses in the district were built from the 1890s to the 1920s and there were constructed in the popular styles of the era. Local contractor A.J. Coon was responsible for many of the houses. Most of the non-contributing resources are garages, but a few of the houses were built outside of the period of significance or were extensively remodeled. Local architectural firms Wetherell and Harrison and Liebbe, Nourse and Rasmussen were responsible for the apartment and commercial buildings in the district.</p><br>
<p>Pleasant Grove Presbyterian Church is a historic building located in Chatham, Iowa, United States. The building&#39;s significance is associated with its architecture. The design of the wood frame structure is more reminiscent of a schoolhouse than a church building. There are no church buildings similar in style in the area. F. W. Chapman, of Waterloo, Iowa was responsible for the carpentry work, Tabor Construction Company poured the foundation, and Menzel, also of Waterloo, installed the windows. The windows incorporate the pointed Gothic arch. The building was constructed for $2,910.35.</p><br>
<p>Pleasant Grove Presbyterian was founded by the Rev. James S. Fullerton and Elder Vaughn of Marion, Iowa in 1853 before the villages of Chatham and Littleton were established. The congregation first met in a log schoolhouse. They moved to Chatham after its establishment in 1856. The Rev. John D. Caldwell was the first resident pastor. Initially, the Presbyterians shared the stone schoolhouse there with the Methodist congregation. Pleasant Grove built their first church in 1865. It was moved in 1907 to make room for the present church building. The congregation disbanded for lack of numbers in 2014. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2017. It was donated to the Littleton and Chatham Historical Society for use as a museum and community building.</p><br>
<p>The Memorial Presbyterian Church is located at 202 E. Mantua Avenue in the borough of Wenonah in Gloucester County, New Jersey. The church was designed by architect Isaac Newton Pursell in Late Gothic Revival style and built in 1904. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on August 7, 2013, for its significance in architecture.</p><br>
<h2>History and description</h2><br>
<p>On January 28, 1903, the board of trustees approved a plan to build a new church, funded by Thomas W. Synnott and named the Memorial Presbyterian Church of Wenonah. Synnott was the president of the Whitney Glass Works in Glassboro. Local architect Isaac Newton Pursell designed it with Late Gothic Revival style and features a three-story bell tower. It was built using Port Deposit granite with Indiana limestone. The church was dedicated in April 1904.</p><br>
<p>Old Storm Lake High School, also known as Storm Lake High School, Storm Lake Junior High School, South Elementary School, and South School, is a historic building located in Storm Lake, Iowa, United States. It is significant for its subdued Tudor Revival architecture and its association with the Des Moines architectural firm of Keffer and Jones. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2017.</p><br>
<p>The first school in Storm Lake was completed in 1869 on the same site as this building. It was replaced in 1874 by a larger high school building on the same site. Additions to that building were made over the years until it was torn down and replaced with a new three-story brick building in 1914. That building soon became inadequate and a wood-frame structure was built behind it to house grades 7–9. The wooden building was much maligned and a study was undertaken by the school district to determine what to do. It was decided to build a new high school on the same site and it was completed in 1929. Local contractor Tom Park was responsible for its construction. In addition to its use as a school, the gymnasium and auditorium were used for other community functions.</p><br>
<p>The building housed the high school from 1929 to 1962 when a new high school was completed. It was then used as a junior high/middle school from 1962 to 1992 when, again, a new building was completed. The building was then used as an elementary school until 2009.</p><br>
<p>The Ramsey Building is a historic building located in Keota, Iowa, United States. Eben J. Ramsey had the two-story, brick, Romanesque Revival commercial building constructed in 1895. Its significance is derived from its association with both the furniture and funeral business. Ramsey had both businesses in the building until 1907. He had to partially rebuild it after a fire in 1897. A furniture store continued to occupy the building until 1957. A funeral home was located here until 1937 when it was relocated to a house. This marked the separation of a business marketing goods with one that provided services. At the same time, the furniture store merged with the new appliance store, which represented a sift to selling traditional furnishings with modern conveniences for the home. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2017.</p><br>
<p>The Baptist Church of Christ at Sardis is a church built in 1917 of the partially extinct denomination  in Mississippi. The building is one room with symmetrically placed front doors. The timber used to build it was from the local communities, and milled onsite. Both the pews and the pulpit are original, as is most of the structure. In the early 2010s, David Preziosi, executive of the National Register of Historic Places in Mississippi nominated it for historic research. This was granted to him on March 21, 2011. Today, the building is placed as a historic site as well as a genealogical center as it has a cemetery with many people who used to live near there.</p><br>
<p>The Doerhoefer–Hampton House, at 2422 W. Chestnut St. in the Russell neighborhood of Louisville, Kentucky, has been deemed "the most architecturally prominent structure" in the neighborhood.
