<p>The Schilling Ranch Historic District is a tiny portion of a historic ranch in Cochise County, Arizona which was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2009. It consists of several structures built in the early to mid-1900s. It is representative of the infrastructure required by cattle ranching operations in the Southwestern United States. It was used as a central location for cattle roundups from the surrounding cattle ranches, before shipment to the Willcox cattle auctions.</p><br>
<p>The 2 acre district consists of five structures: a farmhouse, a bunkhouse, a corral, a tack room, and a hay barn. All were constructed between 1927 through 1959.</p><br>
<p>Historically, what is now the historic district was part of the larger Winchester Ranch, which was used for cattle ranching throughout the twentieth century. The Winchester Ranch, in turn, had been part of the vast land holdings of Henry Clay Hooker, called the Sierra Bonita Ranch, during the 1800s However, the historic district is the part of the ranch which symbolizes cattle ranching in Arizona during the first half of the century.</p><br>
<p>In 1906, a year before his death, Hooker sold the Muleshoe Ranch, of which the Winchester Ranch was part of, to Deming Isaacson. At about this time, Ernest Schilling was homesteading that portion of the Muleshoe known as the Winchester, and the ranch became known as the Schilling Ranch. Schilling expanded his holdings through the 1920s, and became locally known for his purebred cattle. In 1933, one of his Hereford bulls became the top prizewinner of the Century of Progress Exposition in Chicago. The ranch house used by Schilling was not the same as the current ranch house in the Historic District. Schilling&#39;s ranch house burned down in the mid-1970s.</p><br>
<p>In 1940, the manager of the Muleshoe Ranch, Elvie Lane, purchased Schillings ranch. Eight years later, Lane sold the ranch to Ernest Browning, who would later also purchase the Muleshoe Ranch. Browning was well known among the quarter-horse set, helping to organize the American Quarter Horse Association in 1940. In 1982 he was awarded the National Livestock Associations "Golden Spur Award" for his contributions to the nation&#39;s livestock and ranching industries. Also in 1942, he was inducted into the American Quarter Horse Hall of Fame. He was also co-founder of the National Cowboy Hall of Fame.</p><br>
<p>The ranch house in the Historic District was known as the "Rock House". Browning&#39;s son, Alvin, and his wife, Lavinia, moved into the house in 1949, to run the ranch for his father. Shortly afterwards, Alvin and his ranch hands built the bunk house, hay barn and tack room. The Rock House was occupied until the mid-1970s, and in 1980 Alvin sold it to his two sons, Eddie and Jack. Eddie and Jack worked the ranch until 1988, when they sold it to Tommie Todd, who sold it in 2003 to Louise and Dale Henderson.</p><br>

Constructed in 1892 by local contractors, the bank officially opened to customers in early 1893. Its Victorian-styke design exemplifies the "commercial palace" architectural trend, characterized by bold, eclectic features intended to convey wealth and prosperity.</p><br>
<p>The building’s notable design elements include a red brick exterior adorned with limestone arched windows, a turret above the front corner, and a limestone cornice divided by pinnacles. In 1902, the neighboring Indicator Building was constructed as an addition to the bank, designed to complement its architecture.

<p>The Little John Creek Reserve, located south of Council Grove, Kansas, is a former American Indian reservation that was the last home of the Kaw people in Kansas. The Kaw, then known as the Kanza, relocated to the reservation following an 1846 treaty in which they exchanged the land for their settlements on the Missouri River. The tribe remained on the land until 1873, when white pressure forced them to relocate to the Indian Territory.</p><br>
<p>The reservation includes the former Kaw Agency Building and a group of stone houses built by the USA Government in the early 1860s. The houses were part of an unsuccessful attempt by the government to impose white values of land ownership and domesticity upon the tribe. The Kanza largely kept to their traditional leather and hide housing, as the stone houses were susceptible to theft, could not be moved during flooding or hunting seasons, and ignored the traditional Kanza belief that square corners attracted bad spirits. They mainly used the stone houses to shelter animals, and the buildings only became houses after white settlers occupied the land. The reservation also includes the Monument to the Unknown Kanza Warrior, a 40 ft stone marker erected in 1925. The monument was built by property owner Frank Haucke and the Council Grove American Legion, and the remains of a Kanza warrior Haucke found on the property are buried below it.</p><br>
<p>USA Vice President Charles Curtis, who was a member of the Kaw tribe, lived on the reservation from 1863 to 1868. During a raid on the reservation by the Cheyenne in 1868, the nine-year-old Curtis allegedly walked from Council Grove to Topeka to warn of the attack. He frequently recounted the story to establish his political career, which included terms in the USA House of Representatives and USA Senate prior to his vice presidency. The battles between the Kaw and Cheyenne led the government to curtail the tribe&#39;s annual buffalo hunts, which played a role in their weakening and eventual removal from Kansas.</p><br>
<p>After a period of white settlement, the property was neglected from 1930 through the end of the twentieth century. The Kaw Nation purchased the land in 2000. The reservation was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on October 21, 2001.</p><br>

<p>The Lambs were founded in 1874 and relocated to multiple buildings over the years. By 1902, overcrowding at the clubs previous headquarters prompted the Lambs to consider developing a new clubhouse, which opened on September 1, 1905.

<p>The Lambs Club Building, designed for the Lambs social club, is cited as being designed in the Colonial, or neoclassical styles. with two basements, although the rear of the site only rose four stories. The building was one of several clubhouses that White designed for his firm.</p><br>
<h3>Facade</h3><br>
<p>White, a member of the Lambs, had intentionally designed the facade with both Federal-style and neo-Georgian details, as he was knowledgeable of what his grandson Samuel G. White called "the acting profession&#39;s reputation for social eccentricity". The northern elevation of the facade is the only one that is normally visible from street level. The ground floor is clad with smooth marble, while the upper stories are clad with red Flemish-bond brick. The walls contain terracotta trim, with stone quoins at each end. The facade is divided vertically into six bays; the eastern three bays form the original clubhouse, while the western three bays comprise the annex.</p><br>
<p>On the ground level, there are two entrances. Both of the entrances are flanked by engaged columns in the Doric order, which support a entablature. A band course with a meander motif stretches horizontally above the first floor. When the building was developed, there was a cast-iron fence at street level, but this had been removed by the 1980s. The second floor originally contained two groups of French windows, recessed within a loggia and flanked by a set of pilasters. Each bay is separated by columns, and there is a wrought iron balcony and a large rectangular window behind the columns. There is a plaque at the center of the second-story facade. An entablature, containing a frieze with foliate designs, runs above the entirety of the second floor.</p><br>

<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The building was developed for the Lambs, a theatrical club founded in 1874 and officially incorporated in 1877. The Lambs&#39; first shepherd, Henry James Montague, named the club after a group founded in London; the London club was named in honor of essayist Charles Lamb, who had frequently invited actors to his home. The Lambs relocated its headquarters, or "Fold", multiple times in the late 19th century,</p><br>
<h3>Lambs Club</h3><br>
<h4>Development and early years</h4><br>
<p>The clubs "shepherd", or president, DeWolf Hopper announced in March 1902 that the club had decided to build its own clubhouse with a dedicated theater for gambols. The Lambs had performed their gambols at the Garrick Theatre, but they had just been evicted following a disagreement with Charles Frohman. Club members had already subscribed $160,000 for the construction of a new clubhouse, and Hopper had received an offer of $62,500 for the 36th Street clubhouse. The club agreed to acquire a site at 128–130 West 44th Street in June 1902, although Minnie Lespinasse, the previous owner of the two plots, was expected to remain at that site for a year. The Lambs took title to the site in April 1903 and hired White the same year to design the building. That month, True and McKeefrey received the general contract for the buildings construction. The Lambs laid the cornerstone for the clubhouse at a ceremony on August 24, 1904, and they sold their old building in early 1905.</p><br>
<p>The Lambs moved into the building on September 1, 1905, and the club held its first gambol in the 44th Street building that November. The auditorium hosted private gambols for club members each month; the best of these gambols were then publicly presented once a year. In keeping with club rules, the clubhouse never closed at night. Except for maids and housekeepers, women were not allowed to access the upper floors or become Lambs members. Theatrical figures such as Bobby Clark, John Drew Jr., Edgar Selwyn, and Douglas Fairbanks stayed in the clubhouse&#39;s bedrooms.</p><br>
<p>The Hartford Courant reported in June 1909 that the Lambs acquired a site from the Medcef Eden Realty Company at 120–126 West 44th Street, with plans to develop an 18-story clubhouse there. Two months later, the club formed a committee to develop a new clubhouse; the committee considered leasing the Berkeley Lyceum at 21–25 West 44th Street. The club decided in December 1909 to lease a three-story dwelling at 126 West 44th Street. By 1911, the club had hired Freeman and Hasselman to design a 12-story structure at 134–138 West 44th Street, with a miniature theater. The club had 1,400 members by 1914, The club finally announced in February 1915 that it would build a six-story annex at 132–134 West 44th Street for $250,000, The architects filed plans with the Manhattan Bureau of Buildings in April 1915, and work on the annex proceeded during World War I. That June, the Lambs received permission to mortgage their clubhouse for $450,000; in addition to the first mortgage, the club raised $150,000 through a bond issue. The annexs cornerstone was laid on September 16, 1915, and the annex was completed in time for the Lambs gambols in 1916.</p><br>
<h4>Mid-20th century</h4><br>
<p>The club received a $200,000 mortgage loan in 1922, and this mortgage was paid off by 1925. or $1.5 million. The club considered relocating to Upper Manhattan and selling its 44th Street building, which was appraised at up to $1 million. At the time, the club had 1,700 members, furthermore, real-estate prices near Times Square were increasing. citing the fact that the planned clubhouse would be unprofitable. During the late 1920s, the Lambs faced financial troubles because of competition from talking pictures.</p><br>
<p>The club took out two mortgage loans on the clubhouse in 1930. The club received a five-year, $315,000 mortgage loan in March 1930 from the American Museum of Natural History. That June, the New York Supreme Court approved a $100,000 second mortgage on the clubhouse. When the Lambs began adapting their private gambols for film in 1932, actresses were invited to the third-floor auditorium for the first time ever. Women were still banned from other events at the clubhouse, including art exhibits. During World War II, the clubhouse hosted weekly dinners for members of the United States Armed Forces. The club unveiled a memorial alcove at the clubhouse in 1947, dedicated to club members who had died in the two world wars.</p><br>
<p>The Lambs had 1,300 members in the late 1950s. Cosmopolitan magazine described the Lambs "stately brick clubhouse" as a "hallowed stronghold of Broadway actors and song-and-dance men of the old school". The clubs members included Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Loewe of songwriting team Lerner and Loewe, who reportedly composed the musical Brigadoon in the third-floor theater. The club began allowing women to eat dinner in the dining room in 1956, The clubhouse hosted private performances of plays during this time, and it also hosted events in honor of various theatrical figures. Concurrently, the clubs membership declined in the 20th century, in part because of younger generations indifference toward joining clubs, as well as increasing crime rates near Times Square.</p><br>
<h4>Foreclosure</h4><br>
<p>The Lambs filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in October 1973, after years of declining revenues. The clubhouse was at risk of being foreclosed unless the club raised $1 million. To avert foreclosure, the club proposed admitting non-theatrical professionals and women as members, The New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission (LPC) had begun considering whether to designate the Lambs Club Building as a city landmark in May 1974, and the LPC designated the building as a landmark on September 24, 1974.</p><br>
<p>In October 1974, Ryan postponed foreclosure proceedings for another six weeks. The club hosted a centennial gala in early December 1974 to raise money for the headquarters, raising $131,250. In addition, the club planned to open a new restaurant and host commercially produced plays. The clubhouse was sold at auction the next month to the Tremont Savings and Loan Association for $350,000, even though the building had been appraised at $1.2 million just the previous year. The bank won a bidding war against Giovanna Ceccarelli of the St. Genesius Society, who had bid $301,000 and had wanted to host a repertory theater group at the building. Even after the Lambs Club Building had been sold, the club still owed its suppliers $100,000. To satisfy a deficit of $473,112, the bank immediately placed the building for sale, although the bank was not scheduled to take title until February 20.</p><br>
<h3>Church</h3><br>
<p>The Manhattan Church of the Nazarene signed a contract in May 1975 to buy the Lambs Club Building. The church intended to use the building for "the enrichment and development of Christian artistic, dramatic, and musical ministries in New York City". The Manhattan Church of the Nazarene was obligated to raise another $30,000 by July 14, 1975, The church finalized its purchase the next month. The Lambs relocated to the Women&#39;s National Republican Club building at 3 West 51st Street, adjacent to Rockefeller Center.</p><br>
<p>The third-floor theater became an off-Broadway venue called the Lambs Theatre, which was operated by Carolyn Rossi Copelands Lambs Theater Company until 1996. The group operated the first-floor theater by itself and shared the third-floor theater with the churchs congregation. and a health clinic. The clubhouse also hosted activities and events such as advertising campaigns and Thanksgiving dinners for low-income New Yorkers. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on June 3, 1982. The same year, nutritionist Glenna McCollum applied for a grant from the Foundation Center of Manhattan to pay for upgrades to the churchs facilities. With the redevelopment of Times Square in the late 1990s, the Lambs Theatre began to stage more family-friendly productions at the clubhouse, and the third-floor theater was also used for live radio broadcasts.</p><br>
<h4>Hotel-conversion agreement</h4><br>
<p>By the late 1990s, the Church of the Nazarene did not have enough money for both the buildings maintenance and the churchs social-service programs. The church attempted to sell the sites unused air rights, which totaled, but there was no adjacent site to which the air rights could be transferred. Afterward, the church asked the LPC to designate the interior of the buildings interior as a landmark, as the air rights of interior landmarks in the Theater District could be transferred to a larger number of buildings in the neighborhood. However, the agency was not allowed to designate the interiors of religious buildings as landmarks.</p><br>
<p>In a third attempt to dispose of the air rights, the church announced that it would use of air rights to construct 150 hotel rooms. The church had wanted to build a nine-story hotel, but the LPC mandated that the proposed hotel be reduced to seven stories so the new annex would not be visible from street level. The church was allowed to continue holding services and hosting events within a portion of the clubhouse.</p><br>
<p>The hotel plans were controversial among the theatrical community, which had unsuccessfully fought for the preservation of several theaters on the site of the nearby New York Marriott Marquis hotel. Performers such as Lionel Hampton and Rosemary Harris advocated for designating the interior of the Lambs Club as a landmark, and Hampshire Hotels was devising plans for a new theater in the Lambs Club building. The building also contained five apartments and 22 single-person rooms at that point.</p><br>
<h3>Hotel renovation</h3><br>
<p>In 2006, Hampshire Hotels had exercised its option to develop the hotel, and Manhattan Initiative evicted the Lambs Theatre. Vikram Chatwal, whose family operated Hampshire Hotels, had hired architect Thierry Despont to renovate the edifice into a 101-room hotel. Chatwal, who initially planned to rebrand the hotel as a boutique hotel called the Lambs Hotel, ultimately renamed it the Chatwal New York. Chatwal signed a franchise agreement with hotel management company Starwood, and the Chatwal New York joined Starwoods Luxury Collection brand. The renovation ultimately cost more than $100 million.</p><br>
<p>The Chatwal New York opened in August 2010 with 83 rooms. The Lambs Club restaurant at the hotel, which had been announced in 2008, ultimately opened in September 2010 with Geoffrey Zakarian as executive chef. The restaurant, operated by Chatwal, was named in homage to the building&#39;s original tenant</p><br>
<p>The hotel closed in March 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The hotel reopened in October 2021, but its restaurant remained closed to the general public, serving only hotel guests. The Lambs Club restaurant reopened in April 2022. when Michael White replaced Zakarian as the executive chef. The Reuben brothers moved to take over the hotel in December 2023 after the Chatwal&#39;s operators defaulted on a mezzanine loan.</p><br>
<h2>Critical reception</h2><br>
<p>According to Whites grandson Samuel, the buildings facade presented "a strictly businesslike character, as if to emphasize the orderly nature of the membership rather than its artistic and presumably extremely entertaining qualities".</p><br>
<p>After the clubhouse was converted into a hotel, Emirati newspaper The National wrote that the Chatwal New Yorks "cosy 1920s interiors hark back to a more glamorous era", while Condé Nast Traveller wrote that the hotel "toasts the golden age of travel". Another reviewer, writing for The Independent, said the hotels main draw was "enjoying the peaceful luxury of the hotel while knowing the excitement of Manhattan is right on your doorstep", despite its relatively high room rates, and that the hotel was suitable mainly for "romantic weekends, luxury city getaways and work with perks". A reporter for the British newspaper The Observer praised the hotel as having "the kind of elegance and luxury any self-respecting flapper girl would expect", but the reporter criticized the high prices of the spa and pool.</p><br>
<p>When the Lambs Club restaurant opened in 2010, Sam Sifton of The New York Times wrote that the restaurant was reminiscent of the nearby Sardis and that "the Lambs Club dinner menu offers food to fortify the hearty as well as to charm those who eat only appetizers and head to the gym". another Times reporter described the space itself as "a sophisticated, high-ceilinged room in a Stanford White building with a rich history" as the Lambs headquarters. After the restaurant reopened in 2022, Elise Taylor of Vogue described its ambiance as "new-old New York" and said that, while the restaurant retained many of its original design features, its menu was "dotted with a delicious array of seafood".</p><br>
<p>The John McCaffary House is located in Kenosha, Wisconsin, United States. It was built in 1842 and was the site of the murder of Bridget McCaffary by her husband, John McCaffary. He was the first and only person executed by the State of Wisconsin before it abolished the death penalty in 1853. The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places  in 1978.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The John McCaffary House was built in 1842 in what was, at the time, the outskirts of Kenosha. It is a two-story house with three rooms on each floor. It was constructed with cream-colored bricks and features a three-window facade, a low hip roof, and a simple cornice featuring a sawtooth pattern.</p><br>
<h3>Bridget McCaffary murder and aftermath</h3><br>
<p>On July 23, 1850, John McCaffary murdered his wife Bridget by drowning her in the cistern behind the house. The couple had been married less than two years at the time and their marriage was reportedly tumultuous, with neighbors reporting domestic disturbances (broken dishes and furniture) and shouting at the house prior to the murder. The Kenosha Telegraph reported that the cistern itself "was but the diameter of a hogshead, and the water was but deep."</p><br>
<p>Both before and during a brief trial in May 1851, John McCaffary maintained his innocence. On May 23, a jury found him guilty and sentenced him to death in accordance with the mandatory death penalty that existed in Wisconsin at the time.</p><br>
<p>On August 21, 1851, McCaffary admitted to the murder on the scaffold, and was then executed publicly by hanging in front of a crowd of 2,000–3,000 people.</p><br>
<p>The execution strengthened the growing movement against capital punishment in Wisconsin, which had been prominent since the territorial period in what became Wisconsin as well as other former portions of the Northwest Territory. However, prior to statehood in 1848, the Wisconsin Territory had executed four people. The leader of the local and state opposition to the death penalty was Kenosha Telegraph newspaperman, and future politician and inventor of the typewriter, Christopher Latham Sholes. The day after McCaffary&#39;s execution, Sholes wrote in the Telegraph: "We hope that this will be the last execution that shall ever disgrace the mercy-expecting citizens of the State of Wisconsin." He elaborated: "We do not complain that the law has been enforced. We complain that the law exists."</p><br>
<p>Later in 1851, Sholes was elected to the Wisconsin State Assembly. Waukesha County farmer Marvin H. Bovee, who would soon join Sholes in the legislature, was of similar mind and in favor of a national ban on the death penalty. Both Bovee and Sholes were instrumental in Wisconsin&#39;s abolition of capital punishment.</p><br>
<p>McCaffary was both the first and last person executed by the State of Wisconsin before the state abolished the death penalty in 1853. On July 12, 1853, after Chapter 103, Laws of 1853, State of Wisconsin was passed by both houses of the Wisconsin legislature, Governor Leonard J. Farwell signed it and officially abolished capital punishment in the state.</p><br>
<h3>Later history</h3><br>
<p>In the 1930s, the John McCaffary House was converted into a two-unit apartment. An exterior staircase leads to the upstairs apartment. In the 1970s, before receiving historic recognition, the house was "run-down almost to the point of facing condemnation by the city."</p><br>
<p>In 1976, the Wisconsin Historical Society (WHS) petitioned for the John McCaffary House to be added to the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). In its nomination, WHS gave two primary arguments for listing the house: "First, the case of John McCaffary contributed measurably to the final drive for abolition, and second, the site of the murder is the only place associated with the event which remains substantially as it was at that time...Therefore, the site symbolizes for contemporary Wisconsinites the abolition of capital punishment." On the NRHP nomination form, three areas of significance for the property were claimed: historic archeology (due to the remains of the cistern behind the house), law, and social/humanitarian. The house was added to the NRHP on January 31, 1978.</p><br>
<p>The Simcock House is a historic house at 206-208 Columbia Street in Council Grove, Kansas. Goodson M. Simcock, who settled in Council Grove in 1849 to work at a store on the Santa Fe Trail, built the house for his family. Simcock promised his wife a new house after the couple had their first child in 1857, and the house was built sometime between then and 1860. The houses design is inspired by the Greek Revival style, which was popular in Kansas during the 1850s; the front-facing gable and large windows resemble the styles temple form in particular. Simcock sold the house in 1884 to businessman David C. Webb, who built a one-story wing on the east side of the house. W. H. Marks bought the house in 1902 and added a second story to the 1884 wing along with two new wings in the rear of the house.</p><br>
<p>The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on March 11, 1982.</p><br>
<p>Beck Street School is a school building in the Schumacher Place neighborhood of Columbus, Ohio. The building was constructed in 1884 and was designed by prolific school architect David Riebel. In a 2002 report by the Columbus Landmarks Foundation, the school was recognized as one of Columbus&#39;s historically significant schools</p><br>
<h2>Attributes</h2><br>
<p>The Beck Street school is in the Schumacher Place neighborhood of Columbus, Ohio, near German Village.</p><br>

<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Before the school was built, the site was home to the main building of the Franklin County Poor House, built in 1840 and renamed the Franklin County Infirmary in 1850. The building caught fire in 1878 and was repaired, though the facility purchased a new space on Alum Creek Drive in 1882 and moved there in the following year. The building was attempted to be repurposed as a school, though within a year it needed to be replaced.</p><br>
<p>Beck Street School was built in 1884. It was designed by David Riebel, who was hired as the first Columbus Public Schools architect in 1893. The building was one of a few, including Avondale Elementary, designed by Riebel before he became the lead architect for Columbus City Schools.</p><br>
<p>The building closed in 2017. It was listed as one of the city&#39;s most endangered sites, in a 2019 list compiled by Columbus Landmarks. The building was vacant, with an unclear future and a valuable property for developers. In 2020, the Columbus Board of Education approved the sale of the building, allowing its use for charter schools, and then potentially for auction. The South Columbus Preparatory Academy opened in the building soon afterward.</p><br>

In 1891, on his return to the United States, he purchased 1,630 acre of Rancho Buena Vista, renaming the property Rancho Las Palmas. He went into horse breading, specializing in draft horses and roadsters.</p><br>
<p>Hiram Corey and his wife designed and built the Rancho Las Palmas 20-room mansion for his family in 1891, with the assistance of Salinas architect, and Corey&#39;s nephew, Carlton Bassett, for $4,000.</p><br>

<h2>Legacy</h2><br>
<p>After Corey died in 1913, his second wife, Frances, inherited the deed of conveyance on the real and personal property that was worth approximately $200,000. She sold Rancho Las Palmas to Joe Violini in 1918, who in 1943 passed it to his four children. Frances moved to Palo Alto with her children.</p><br>
<p>In 1979, the Violini family sold the property to the Las Palmas Ranch Venture which began the process to subdivide the land for future development. In 1988, the title again changed hands and it was acquired by the Las Palmas Property Development Company, which completed the subdivision. During this time the Corey House was used as a sales office for the Las Palmas Development Company.</p><br>
<p>In May 2003, the historic Corey House mansion was bought by Samuel and Linda Persall and converted to a bed and breakfast inn. They renamed it to Chateau Coralini Retreat and Spa. The Persalls had the house and property restored by John Larsen & Sons in 2007.

The wood casings, originals doors, hinge and iron hardware, plaster medallions and corbels, staircase banister, fireplace tilework, and original stained glass were restored. The name Chateau Coralini was created by the Persalls to honor the Coreys and Violinis who once lived in the mansion. A children&#39;s dollhouse, built by the Las Palmas Development Company, was purchased by the Persalls and brought to the estate.</p><br>
<p>The Republic Café was an Asian restaurant and banquet hall in Salinas, Californias Chinatown, in the United States. It was one of Salinass oldest surviving commercial buildings that was in operation from 1942 to 1988. Serving Chinese cuisine such as Peking duck, the Republic Café has been described as part of the neighborhood&#39;s Asian American history.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Republic Café is a Mission Revival architecture style building located at 37 Soledad Street in Salinas, California. It was once an Asian restaurant and banquet hall that was in operation from 1942 to 1988, where the historic Salinas Chinatown used to be. The first Chinatown was established in 1872 and was destroyed by fire in 1893. Chinese merchants established a new Chinatown a few blocks east on Soledad Street.</p><br>
<p>The Republic Café was built in 1942 by the Ahtye and Chin Bow families, as Chinatown peaked after the 1920s and 1930s. There was need for a restaurant that could have small and large gatherings for the Asian communities. It became the place to hold celebrations, weddings, and the Chinese New Year. The Café was owned by Salinas resident Wally Ahtye, who lived on the second floor of the property for many years.</p><br>
<p>The Republic Café is listed as significant between 1942 and 1956, under Criterion A, in Asian Ethnic Heritage. The building has kept its original narrow, rectangular layout, and facade with Chinese architectural elements, including the wood rafters and clay tiled roof. A neon sign reads "Chop Suey - Republic." The Café has a second-floor balcony with Chinese ironwork. The walls are reinforced concrete with finished stucco.</p><br>
<p>In the late 1950s and early 1960s, many of the buildings in Chinatown were demolished because they were declared unsafe by the federal urban renewal program. The Republic Café closed its doors in 1988 as one of the last businesses in the area.</p><br>
<p>There were plans for restoration of the Republic Café and the adjacent Lotus Inn, thanks to a three-year grant from the USA Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The buildings were scheduled to open in the spring of 2012 as an Asian cultural center and museum, but these plans fell through.</p><br>
<p>In May 2021, there were still plans to open the Asian cultural center and museum. The Asian Culture Experience (ACE) group aimed to raise $200,000 to help build the center and museum to help preserve the history and cultures of Chinese, Japanese, and Filipino groups.</p><br>
<p>In October 2022, a fire broke out at the Republic Café. ACE estimated that the fire would set them back three to five years. The Café was left with holes in the ceiling, walls caving in, and water damage after the fire.</p><br>
<p>Fort C. F. Smith was a bastion fort constructed in Warren County, Kentucky, between 1861 and 1865, as part of the American Civil War defenses of Bowling Green . It was named in honor of General Charles Ferguson Smith, who died from a leg infection that was aggravated by dysentery on April 25, 1862.</p><br>
<p>Part of a series of fortifications built to defend the city of Bowling Green, Fort C.F. Smith initially began construction under the supervision of the Confederate States of America, who occupied the city between September 1861 and February 1862. Construction was completed under the supervision of the Union Army after the city was captured by Union forces on February 15, 1862.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<h3>Civil War</h3><br>
<p>The city of Bowling Green served as an important military stronghold for both Union and Confederate forces during the American Civil War. The citys position between Louisville, Kentucky, and Nashville, Tennessee, along the Louisville and Nashville Railroad made it a strategic defensive position midway along the Confederate line between Kentucky and Tennessee. On September 18, 1861, General Simon Bolivar Buckner occupied Bowling Green with 4,500 troops and began constructing a series of eight earthen fortifications on hills surrounding the town, including what would become Fort C.F. Smith. When Fort Henry and Fort Donelson were captured by Union forces in early February 1862, the Confederate position in Bowling Green became untenable. As the Union Army approached, General Bolivar ordered his forces to evacuate the city on February 14, 1862. After occupying the city on February 15, Union forces continued construction on the citys incomplete fortifications. Fort C.F. Smith was completed in 1862 under the supervision of General Ormsby M. Mitchel and Colonel Benjamin Harrison, future 23rd President of the United States.</p><br>
<h3>Post-War</h3><br>
<p>Abandoned by the USA Army at the conclusion of the war in 1865, the land was purchased by the City of Bowling Green in 1869 for use as a park and reservoir. Known locally as Reservoir Hill, the site has been continuously maintained as a neighborhood park.</p><br>
<p>Existing remnants of the original earthen fortifications remain visible in the southwest portion of the park, though only approximately 10% of the fort&#39;s original construction have survived.</p><br>

<p>The Fair Avenue Elementary School is a historic school building in the Franklin Park neighborhood of Columbus, Ohio. The building contributes to the Columbus Near East Side District, on the National Register of Historic Places. It was built in the Richardsonian Romanesque style in 1890, having been designed by prolific Columbus architect Frank Packard. The building, originally housing a school as part of the Columbus Public School District, currently houses one of three campuses of the A+ Arts Academy.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Fair Avenue School was built at a time of significant population growth in Columbus. Following the American Civil War, an influx of new residents led the school board to construct new schools nearly every year. The Fair Avenue School was built from 1889 to 1890; The building cost $32,692. The school celebrated its 50th anniversary in 1942 with a reunion event for alumni.</p><br>
<p>In 1967, a crude fire bomb was thrown into the school building, though it detonated without serious damage.</p><br>
<p>In 2012, the vacant school building was put up for sale. It was purchased for $300,000 by the A+ Arts Academy, a charter school, in 2013.</p><br>
<p>The building&#39;s exterior remains nearly unchanged in appearance since when it was constructed, though small wings or additions have been added at least seven times, including in 1900, 1957, and 1963.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The building was designed by prolific Columbus-area architect Frank Packard, built shortly before his partnership with Joseph W. Yost. AIA Columbus indicated it is one of several buildings that proves his competence as an architect before and after his partnership with Yost. Packard chose the style, then his reigning favorite, as it began to decline in popularity (lasting from c. 1875 to 1890). The building is still often considered the best local example of this style.</p><br>
<p>The Fair Avenue School makes use of elements of Romanesque Revival architecture; it is considered a "prime late example" of the Richardsonian Romanesque style. The exterior predominantly has walls of red brick, a hipped slate roof with a low pitch, and carved stone details throughout. It is a rigidly symmetrical building with a feeling of solidity and bulk. The exterior wall spaces are only lightly taken up by doors and windows; towers, turrets, and arches typical of the Richardsonian style are abundant.</p><br>
<p>The main block of the building is rectangular, with two stories topped by a hipped roof. The roof is intersected by projecting gable-roofed wall dormers, each of which has triple rectangular windows and heavy stone lintels and sills on the first and second floors. Round brick turrets flank these windows on the second floor, with carved stone corbels at the base and spherical knobs at the top.</p><br>
<p>The buildings tall central tower is its main feature. At its base is the main entranceway, recessed and underneath a heavy stone arch. The arch rests on a rusticated stone base, with foliage details carved into a portion of it, alongside several stubby colonnettes. The towers second- and third-floor windows are framed in stone; between these is a panel bearing the schools original name. The top floor of the tower, a belfry, has round-arched louvered openings, separated by thin colonnettes and flanked by four round conical-roofed turrets. The towers pyramidal roof contains a gable-roofed dormer at each of its four sides. The tower is flanked by two turrets with partially conical roofs.</p><br>
<p>The Council Grove National Bank is a historic bank building at 130 W. Main Street in Council Grove, Kansas. It was built in 1887 for the Morris County State Bank, which was chartered in 1878 and lost its first building to a fire in 1886. Local architect J. H. Leedy designed the Italianate building, and Louis Peterson led its construction. The bank&#39;s design includes an entablature above the first-floor windows, Corinthian columns flanking the corner entrance, a bracketed entablature at the roof line, and a balustrade along the roof broken by a plaque above the entrance. The bank changed its name to the Council Grove National Bank when it was chartered nationally in 1900. The bank continued to use the building until it was damaged by a fire in 1978.</p><br>
<p>The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on June 3, 1976.</p><br>
<p>The Seafarers Yacht Club, originally known as the Seafarers Boat Club, is a boating club on the Anacostia River in Washington, D.C. It has been identified as "one of the oldest—if not the oldest—operating Black boating clubs" in the United States.</p><br>
<p>In 2022, its clubhouse at 1950 M Street SE was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Seafarers Boat Club was established in 1945 by Lewis Thomas Green, an African American public school teacher and boatbuilder in Washington, D.C. Seeking docking space and having been rejected by the whites-only boating clubs along the Anacostia River, Green worked with the civil rights leader Mary McLeod Bethune to lease a spot on the river from the USA Department of the Interior.</p><br>
<p>After growing throughout the 1950s, the yacht club saw membership decline due to increasing pollution of the Anacostia River. In the mid-1960s, it merged with D.C. Mariners, another African American club founded by Green&#39;s former student Charles Martin, under the name Seafarers Yacht Club. Green sold the land to this new organization.</p><br>
<p>In 1964, the Seafarers Yacht Club built a new clubhouse, where members could gather and host social events, as well as a new wheelhouse. Martin, with the help of his friends and his son Chubby, built the clubhouse by hand. It features specially designed canted windows resembling a ship&#39;s pilothouse that look out onto the river.</p><br>
<p>The organization grew again, adding a Womens Auxiliary Club and Junior Boat Club, and it started participating in races around the region. In 1965, it became the first African American boating club to join the American Power Boat Association. To protect the future of the Anacostia Rivers Black boating clubs, in 1972 the Seafarers Yacht Club worked with Washington Yacht Club and others to found the Anacostia Boating Association.</p><br>
<p>In response to the river pollution that first threatened the club decades earlier, the organization established the now annual Anacostia River Cleanup Day in 1985.</p><br>
<p>The Seafarers Yacht Club was the subject of a photography exhibition at the Phillips Collection in 2018. It is featured on both Cultural Tourism DCs African American Heritage Trail and the D.C. Preservation Leagues Civil Rights Trail.</p><br>
<h2>Present-day</h2><br>
<p>The Seafarers Yacht Club has around 45 active members as of 2022. As of 2023, its commodore was Tony Ford. The organization aims to maintain a space for affordable boating in an increasingly gentrifying city.</p><br>
<p>In May 2022, its clubhouse, wheelhouse, and 1947 boat ramp were listed on the National Register of Historic Places, on the basis that "the club is emblematic of the nationwide struggle of African Americans for equal access to facilities and fair treatment."</p><br>

<h2>History and description</h2><br>
<p>Industrialist David C. Wood (1781–1859) built an iron furnace here by the Maurice River in 1814. The two-story house was built in three sections. The first was built in Federal style, the second built by George Wood (1842–1926) with Italianate style, and the third.</p><br>
<p>The National Home for Destitute Colored Women and Children, later known as the Merriweather Home for Children, was a relief association in the Pleasant Plains neighborhood of Washington, D.C.</p><br>
<p>Founded in 1863 to house and educate formerly enslaved women and children who fled to Washington during the American Civil War, the organization would go on to operate for more than a century, becoming the only orphanage for African American children in the city by the 1950s.</p><br>
<p>In 2022, the National Home&#39;s former building at 733 Euclid Street N.W. was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>As formerly enslaved people fled to Washington, D.C., during the American Civil War, they faced dire conditions, with an estimated one-third of these escapees in Washington dying between 1862 and 1866. In 1863, a group of women including Elizabeth Keckly founded the National Association for the Relief of Destitute Colored Women and Children to help them. The association sought to be "an asylum for the freed orphans and destitute aged women, whom the onward march of freedom has left to the care of the benevolent."</p><br>
<p>While the majority of the organizations original founders were white, it had a long history of management by African American Washingtonians. Frederick Douglass, James Wormley, and Charles Burleigh Purvis were among its first Black trustees in the 1870s. Especially notable among these Black leaders is Mary Robinson Meriwether, who became the organizations president in 1915, after whom it was renamed the Merriweather Home for Children sometime between the 1930s and 1950s.</p><br>
<p>After being forced out of its original location at the Burleith estate in the early postwar years, the association moved east to what is now the Pleasant Plains neighborhood, at the now-defunct address of 2458 Eighth Street N.W. It operated there for several decades, then bought a property at 733 Euclid Street N.W. in 1930. After the move, it tightened the focus of its activities to solely caring for children.</p><br>
<p>By the 1950s, the Merriweather Home was the only private orphanage for Black children in Washington. It continued to operate until 1971, when the nearly bankrupt institution was accused of inhumane conditions and shut down.</p><br>
<h2>Structure</h2><br>
<p>The building at 733 Euclid Street N.W. was constructed around 1879 in the Second Empire style. It was built as part of the Todd & Browns Subdivision in the Pleasant Plains neighborhood of Northwest Washington D.C. Originally a duplex, it was converted into one unit by the National Home after it purchased the house. The organization subsequently built on a rear addition, and it is also thought that the homes porch was constructed at this time.</p><br>
<p>The home&#39;s design is marked by its Second Empire-style mansard roof, round-arched windows, and front porch. It sits up high behind a retaining wall.</p><br>
<p>After the Merriweather Home shuttered in the early 1970s, it was converted to the Marie Key Day Care Center, which operated from 1975 to 1998. Then, the building was given a new life when, around 2006, a community leader named Sylvia Robinson took over the property and built a community center known as the Emergence Community Arts Collective (ECAC) there. After Robinsons death in 2017, ECAC faced significant financial challenges, and it sold the property in 2022. The new owners plans to convert the structure into four townhouses was met with concern from the local community, prompting activists to seek a historic designation. That summer, it was designated a D.C. Historic Landmark, halting the developer&#39;s plans to raze the building.</p><br>
<p>In October 2022, the home was designated a historic property by the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>The Abilene Union Pacific Railroad Freight Depot is a historic railroad freight depot located at 110 North Cedar Street on the southwest corner of Northwest Second Street in Abilene, Kansas. Like the passenger depot nearby, it was originally built in 1928 , designed by Gilbert Stanley Underwood and was constructed by G.A. Johnson & Sons company in Chicago. The depot was in the Mission/Spanish Revival architectural style, though it also contains some Greek revival elements.</p><br>
<p>The station began to decline in the post-World War 2 era, when railroads were focusing on receiving more of their freight through yards and industrial sidings. Union Pacific sold the freight house to Abilene Iron and Metal in 1974. In 1980 it was sold to a man named Gordon Davis, Jr., who himself sold the building to painting contractor Tim Geske in 1987. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on September 2, 1993. Today, the station serves as a paint and hardware store.</p><br>
<p>The Prince Hall Masonic Grand Lodge in Atlanta, Georgia started in construction in 1937 and was completed in 1940. It is a historic Prince Hall Masonic building located at 330 Auburn Avenue. An addition was added in 1941.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The building of the lodge was spearheaded by Atlanta civic leader John Wesley Dobbs. Also home to one of Madam C.J. Walker&#39;s Beauty Shoppes. In the 1960s, WERD shared the lodge with the Southern Christian Leadership Conference. "In 2019 the Prince Hall Masonic Lodge of Georgia and Martin Luther King Jr. National Historical Park began partnering to tell the story of King’s activities with the SCLC and the history of the organizations that occupied the Masonic Building." The Temple is currently undergoing a renovation, and will be turned into a 1600 sq. ft. multi-use space.</p><br>
<p>It became listed on the National Register of Historic Places as a contributing building in the National Historic Landmark District in 1980.</p><br>
<p>The New Guinea Community Site is a former free Black community that is on the National Register of Historic Places, located in the Town of Hyde Park, New York. It emerged in the decades leading up to the Civil War, and dissipated quickly after the war ended.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The New Guinea Community Site was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2018. It was a transient free Black community and was typical of such communities in that it emerged in the decades prior to the Civil War, but dissipated after the war’s conclusion and the national abolition of slavery.</p><br>
<p>Interviews with former residents conducted by the local historian, Edward Braman, in the late 19th century. offer first person testimony.</p><br>
<p>There were several incentives to form such a community. Self emancipated enslaved persons from the south could either temporarily, or permanently, live in the community without much notice. Free persons of color were always at risk of being kidnapped and illegally sold into slavery in the south, and a proximity of community helped with a collective security. At a time when New York State had property requirements for African Americans to vote, the New Guinea community offered a chance at property ownership.</p><br>
<p>Primus Martin was another leader in the settlement of New Guinea. His home site is an archaeological site in Hyde Park. Ceramic fragments found at the site indicate that Martin had communal dining and tea drinking at his home, suggesting that he was well established socially and possibly politically in the community. In the 1860s, John Hackett bought land in the area of "Guinea" and built the Crum Elbow Farm. The community gradually dissolved.</p><br>
<p>The area was home to free blacks that owned small farms and who worked for "elite&#39; families along the Hudson river. The area where Primus and Elizabeth Martin stayed was the first area of the excavation project. They were community leaders of Guinea community.</p><br>
<p>On December 22, 2017, Governor Andrew Cuomo announced 23 properties to be sites recommended by New York State Board of Historic Preservation for the state and national registry as a historic place including the New Guinea site located at East Market Street in Hyde Park. A sign from the William G. Pomeroy Foundation marks that portion of the site that is located within the Town of Hyde Park’s Hackett Hill park. Work by the Dutchess County Historical Society in 2022 revealed that the New Guinea extended immediately west of the Hackett Hill site.</p><br>
<p>The George Jr. and Sarah Morgan House, also known as the Olde Stone House, is a historic Georgian style house located at 208 Egg Harbor Road in Washington Township in Gloucester County, New Jersey, United States. Built, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places on April 8, 2019, for its significance in architecture.</p><br>
<h2>History and description</h2><br>
<p>The two-story vernacular Georgian style house features a coursed ashlar façade using local ironstone. According to the nomination form, the house was earlier thought to have been built by George Morgan Sr. Recent research indicates that it was built by his son, George Morgan Jr., sometime between and 1775, noted as by the nomination.</p><br>
<h2>Museum and historic village</h2><br>
<p>In September 1980, Washington Township acquired the Olde Stone House and 6.2 acres from the FPA corporation. In December, fire caused serious damage to the house. The Washington Township Historical Society restored it by 1986. The house is now a historic house museum operated by the Washington Township Historic Preservation Commission. Four other historic buildings from the township have been moved here to form the Olde Stone House Historic Village. They are the Turnersville Post Office (1864), the Bunker Hill Presbyterian Church (1869), the Charles Quay Farmhouse (1825), and the Blackwood Railroad Station (1891).</p><br>
<p>The Grace Ingersoll McGraw House is a private residence located at 17315 East Jefferson Avenue in Grosse Pointe, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2023.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Grace Ingersoll Butler was born in 1869 near Youngstown, Ohio. In 1890, she married furniture manufacturer Arthur McGraw.

Banker Lewis Mead and his first wife Sarah Marks Mead bought the hotel in 1879; after Sarah died in 1886, Lewis remarried her sister Josephine, who was responsible for enlarging and promoting the hotel. The hotel under Josephines management was known as a popular destination for businessmen and salesmen, including many of Lewis business associates; it did not advertise to the traveling public, and it earned a reputation for feeling welcoming and more like a private home than a commercial business. Many members of the large Marks family also lived in or near the hotel. The hotel expanded several times to fit its growing clientele; its 1898 addition is notable for its Queen Anne design with a square tower on the roof. Josephine Marks Mead operated the hotel until her death in 1932; the building has passed through several owners since then, though it has mostly remained an operating hotel.</p><br>

<p>The building received the nickname “Marijuana Mansion” due to its connection with Colorado Amendment 64, which legalized the recreational use of marijuana. Vicente Sederberg LLP, a national cannabis law firm, moved their offices into the mansion shortly after voters approved the Amendment 64 proposal, which they had participated in writing. When Amendment 64 was passed in 2012, the Task Force on the Implementation of Amendment 64 was established, and Vicente Sederberg LLP was included in this task force. The mansion was also occupied at the same time by the National Cannabis Industry Association, who established it as the Colorado headquarters for the Marijuana Project.</p><br>
<p>Dr. John H. Hotchkiss acquired the historic Mansion through Hotchkiss Properties LLC In June 2024. Dr. Hotchkiss has stated that while he plans to "uphold the historical integrity" of the building, it is no longer associated with the cannabis industry.</p><br>
