<p>Fox Hall is a historic house at 5183 County Highway M in Fitchburg, Wisconsin. The stone farmhouse was built circa 1856 by the Fox family, who settled in Fitchburg in 1843 and had previously lived in a log cabin. The house&#39;s design includes elements of the Greek Revival and Italianate styles, representing the transitional period between the popularity of the two styles. The house has a symmetrical layout with a front and back porch, sash windows with stone lintels, bracketed eaves, and a gable roof with two stone chimneys. The interior is original and has extensive ornamental woodwork, including a carved walnut banister on the main staircase.</p><br>
<p>The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on December 1, 1983.</p><br>
<p>The Mazomanie Town Hall is a historic building at 51 Crescent Street in the village of Mazomanie, Wisconsin. The two-story stone building was built in 1878 to serve as the Town of Mazomanie&#39;s fire department. The Mazomanie town clerk moved to the building in 1879, and after the fire department relocated in 1897 the town government continued to use the building. The town used the building until the 1960s. The building also hosted town meetings and social events, including fire department fundraisers while it served as a firehouse. The Mazomanie Historical Society acquired the building in 1979.</p><br>
<p>The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on October 22, 1980.</p><br>
<p>South School is a historic school building at 1009 Summit Avenue in Stoughton, Wisconsin. The school was built in 1900; it is one of five school buildings in Stoughton built between 1886 and 1916, a period of rapid growth for the city. Prominent Madison architect Allan D. Conover designed the school in the Queen Anne style. The school was designed to blend into its residential neighborhood, and its house-like shape and relatively plain exterior minimize its size. Stoughton used the building as an elementary school until 1983, though it was closed between 1943 and 1954 due to budget constraints. The building has since been converted into the South School Condo Association condominiums.</p><br>
<p>The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on September 12, 1985.</p><br>
<p>West School is a historic school building at 404 Garfield Street in Stoughton, Wisconsin. The school was built in 1886; it was the first of several schools Stoughton built in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries to accommodate its rapidly growing population. The two-story brick building has an Italianate design with a segmental arched entrance and matching first-floor windows, semicircular arched windows on the second floor, brick belt courses, and a hipped roof with a wide dormer. As school overcrowding continued to be a problem even after the later construction of the East and South Schools, Stoughton elected to expand the West School in 1905; builder John Holmstad placed a matching addition on the building&#39;s west side that gave the school four new classrooms. Stoughton continued to use the school until 1982; it has since been converted to apartments.</p><br>
<p>The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on January 22, 1992.</p><br>
<p>The Waubesa School is a historic school building at 5979 Siggelkow Road in McFarland, Wisconsin. Built in 1920 by contractor Louis A. Harrison, the school is a relatively late example of a one-room schoolhouse. The one-story brick building has an American Craftsman design with a projecting entrance topped by a bell tower, large sash windows, and a gable roof with exposed rafters. Like most one-room schoolhouses built after 1910, the Waubesa School is much larger than its nineteenth-century counterparts, and it included amenities such as electric wiring, a furnace, and a small library; its plans also included indoor plumbing, but this was rejected by voters due to its cost. Many of these features were likely a response to Wisconsin&#39;s state graded school initiative; though one-room schools were ineligible to be state-graded, the school met many of the other certification requirements. The school operated until 1954, when the school board voted to consolidate with the McFarland School District; McFarland used the building as a kindergarten until 1961 and sold it to private owners the following year.</p><br>
<p>The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on July 17, 1997.</p><br>
<p>The Fuhremann Canning Company Factory is a historic factory building at 151 Market Street in Sun Prairie, Wisconsin. The Fuhremann Canning Company built the original version of the current building in 1912, replacing an earlier factory built by the Sun Prairie Canning Company in 1912. The Oconomowoc Canning Company bought the factory in 1929 and extensively rebuilt it in 1943–44. All of the factorys owners used the building to produce canned vegetables and particularly canned peas, one of Wisconsins major crops. During World War II, German prisoners of war at Camp McCoy were brought to work at the factory, as the war had caused an agricultural labor shortage despite large pea and corn harvests. The factory continued to produce canned vegetables until 2000; the building is now used for retail and apartments.</p><br>
<p>The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on September 15, 2004.</p><br>
<p>The Maple Bluff Boy Scout Cabin is a log cabin in Firemans Park in Maple Bluff, Wisconsin. Maple Bluffs Troop 5 of the Boy Scouts of America built the cabin in 1943. At the time, Boy Scout troops often built their own cabins and were encouraged to do so by the BSA, which included instructions on building a cabin in the Boy Scout Handbook, offered a merit badge for building a cabin, and featured completed cabins in its magazine Boys&#39; Life. The cabin cost an estimated $780.24, with labor provided by the Boy Scouts and their fathers; the village of Maple Bluff leased the land to the troop for ten years for a nominal $1 fee, which was extended to twenty years once the building was complete. The cabin has been used by Troop 5 for meetings and activities since its completion.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on November 6, 2017.</p><br>
<p>The Tompkins-Brindler Mound Group is a group of Native American mounds in Woodland Park in Monona, Wisconsin. The group includes two linear mounds which are roughly 200 ft and 210 ft long. While there were once fifteen mounds in the group, including another group to the southwest called the Nichols Mound Group, the other mounds have all been destroyed. The mounds were built during the Late Woodland period, which covers roughly 500 to 1200 A.D., and during which most mounds in southern Wisconsin were constructed. While the purpose of linear mounds such as those in the Tompkins-Brindler group is uncertain, they are thought to have had religious or spiritual significance to the Late Woodland people.</p><br>
<p>The site was added to the National Register of Historic Places on October 9, 2003.</p><br>
<p>The Monona Mound is a Native American mound at 4009 Monona Drive in Monona, Wisconsin. The mound has a club shape, with a cone at one end and a long linear tail. It was once part of a group with another club-shaped mound and two conical mounds, but the other mounds have been destroyed. The mound was built by Late Woodland people roughly between 700 and 1100 A.D. It may have been used to mark the spring equinox, as its orientation lines up with the sunset either the first or second day after the equinox.</p><br>
<p>The mound is located on private property which was once owned by violin maker Knute Reindahl; as Reindahl had learned wood carving from Native Americans, he and his family preserved the mound. When Reindahls descendants sold the mound in the 1980s, it became the first mound protected under Wisconsins Burial Sites Preservation Act. The mound was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on December 1, 1989. The Monona Landmarks Commission placed a historical marker at the site in 2020.</p><br>
<p>Heim Mound is a Native American effigy mound in Middleton, Wisconsin. The mound is in the shape of a fox or wolf. Like most mounds in southern Wisconsin, it was built during the Late Woodland period, between roughly 750 and 1000 A.D. Archaeologist Charles E. Brown discovered and mapped the mound in 1915. After corresponding with landowner Ferdinand J. Heim, he convinced Heim to donate the land containing the mound to the Wisconsin Archaeological Society in 1937. The Wisconsin Archaeological Society restored the mound in 2015 to mark the 100th anniversary of its discovery.</p><br>
<p>The mound was added to the National Register of Historic Places on March 31, 2004.</p><br>
<p>The John Grace School, also known as the District No. 9 Public School or the John Grace Park and Community Center, is a former school located at 21030 Indian Street in Southfield, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2023.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The residents of Southfield Township first organized their school districts in 1824. The township was divided into ten separate districts, plus four fractional districts eventually combined with neighboring townships. Each district built their own one-room schoolhouse for students through grade 8; District 9 constructed its school on Beech Road. In 1921, District 9 decided to replace the previous school with a new brick building designed by the Detroit architectural firm Van Leyen, Shilling, & Keough. This original building was a single story tall and contained four ungraded classrooms.</p><br>
<p>In 1929, a second story containing an additional four classrooms was added onto the existing building. A rear addition was constructed in 1942. In 1947, the Southfield school districts were consolidated, and the John Grace School was used as an elementary school by the consolidated district. A 1949 addition added a kindergarten room, kitchen, and storage to the building. Due to expanding population in the area, more additions were constricted in 1953, 1958, and 1962.</p><br>
<p>However, by the 1970s, declining population in the area decreased the student attendance, and the school was closed in 1980. The City of Southfield took possession of the building in 1985, and turned it into a branch library and community center. The community center was closed in 2017.</p><br>
<p>As of 2022, the city of Southfield was considering renovating the building into affordable senior housing.</p><br>

<p>Saint Matthew Parish is Catholic church located at 6021 Whittier Avenue in Detroit. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2023.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Saint Matthew Parish was established in 1926, with the first mass held the following year in a new building located about six blocks from the present parish complex. Anticipating growth, the parish purchased property at the corner of Harper and Whittier, the present site of the church. Also purchased was a house to serve as a rectory. In 1930, a school and convent, designed by the architectural firm of O’Dell & Diehl, were constructed at the site. The school started with 351 students, and by 1940 had 800.</p><br>
<p>In 1953, the parish contracted the architectural firm of Donaldson & Meier to design a new church and rectory. The church was completed and the first mass was held in September 1955. Along with the new church, the school was expanded multiple times, with additions constructed in 1948, 1959, and 1961. The school&#39;s peak enrollment occurred in 1966, with 1,214 students. A parish activities building was constructed in 1966.</p><br>
<p>However, church membership and school enrollment began declining. In 1980, the last teaching nun left the school, and the associated convent was demolished in 1981. By 2000, the school had only 146 students, and the school was closed in 2008. As of 2023, the parish is still active and has regular masses.</p><br>

<p>The Excelsior Engine Co. No. 2 Firehouse is a historic former fire station built in 1897 and located at 6106 Polk Street in the town of West New York in Hudson County, New Jersey, United States. It was later known as the Exempt Firemen Association Headquarters. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on August 12, 2022, for its significance in architecture and social history. It was listed in 2017 as one of the state&#39;s 10 most endangered historic places by Preservation New Jersey.</p><br>
<h2>History and description</h2><br>
<p>The two-story brick fire station was built in 1897, designed by architect Robert C. Dixon Jr. with Romanesque Revival architecture, for the Excelsior Engine Company No.2 volunteer fire company of West New York. The design included Corinthian capitals made with terra cotta. The completion of the building was celebrated with a parade and banquet on October 23, 1897. In 1915, the town disbanded volunteer fire companies and created paid companies. The fire station was considered obsolete for motorized fire engines. By 1916, the Association of Exempt Firemen of West New York had acquired the building for use as their headquarters. In 1923, they hired architect William Mayer Jr. to renovate and expand the building.</p><br>
<p>The Lynn County Courthouse, on Public Square in Tahoka, Texas in the High Plains region of Texas south of Lubbock, Texas, was built in 1916. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
<p>It was deemed to be "an outstanding example of the type of public architecture that appeared on the South Plains during the region&#39;s formative years." Its facade includes terra cotta, and was built by A.Z. Rodgers.</p><br>
<p>The building was noted as needing repairs, which led to a $8.2 million project during 2017-2020, with services of Komatsu Architecture and contractor J.C. Stoddard Construction, and supervised by the Texas Historical Commission.</p><br>
<p>In the renovation,The county chose to keep one historical reminder in the form of blood stains on a marble wall! On March 8, 1936, sheriff’s deputy F.E.

<p>The Amhoist Tower is an office tower on the west side of downtown St. Paul, Minnesota, overlooking Rice Park. The tower was built in 1983-1984 and is adjacent to the St. Paul Hotel. The building was originally built for residential condominiums on the nineteenth through twenty-third floors, with office space on the levels below that. The office tower, now known as Landmark Towers, has the address of 345 Saint Peter Street. The condominiums are now known as Park Towers and have the address of 59 Fourth Street West. The tower was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2022 for its association with the American Hoist and Derrick Company.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>American Hoist and Derrick Company, founded in 1882, was a major manufacturer in St. Paul for over a century. The companys cranes were used in construction projects such as Mount Rushmore and the Panama Canal, as well as transferring the Space Shuttle to and from aircraft carriers. They built ships during World War I and World War II. They prided themselves on building the worlds biggest and best cranes, hoists, and related equipment. The company diversified in the mid-twentieth century, having purchased hardware wholesaler Farwell, Ozmun and Kirk and fire equipment manufacturer Waterous. The company&#39;s headquarters was originally located within its manufacturing complex on the west bank of the Mississippi River, just south of downtown St. Paul. While it had convenient access to road and railroad connections, it was located within a flood plain. In addition, the manufacturing complex had the grime, sounds, and smells associated with heavy industry. While the flood problem was addressed with a relocated flood wall, the company did not want to continue with its headquarters in an industrial area.</p><br>
<p>Meanwhile, during the late 1970s, real estate development was booming around Rice Park, spurred by the renovation of Landmark Center. The Yorktown Investment Company found an underutilized site south of the St. Paul Hotel and planned to build an office tower. With the help of the St. Paul Port Authority, Yorktown attracted Amhoist as its anchor tenant, planning to house about 200 administrative employees on seven floors. The tower was initially planned for eighteen stories, then later speculated as twenty-eight stories, before finally being fixed at eighteen stories of office space and seven stories of residential condominiums. Amhoist was doing well financially when they decided to move their headquarters, but during the early 1980s, economic conditions turned unfavorable, especially in the oil and gas exploration industry and in scrap metal recycling. The company responded with layoffs and plant closures, with employment dropping from 7100 in 1981 to 3700 two years later. Amhoist became a target for vulture capitalists and experienced continued losses in the 1980s, eventually selling its crane business in 1986. In 1988, Amhoist announced a takeover bid for CoastAmerica, previously known as Coast to Coast Hardware, and sold the Waterous division. The deal went through, and Amhoist moved its headquarters to Denver and renamed itself the Amdura Corporation. The Amhoist Tower attracted other tenants, such as part of the Minnesota Court of Appeals, but they faced competition from Town Square, Galtier Plaza, and the World Trade Center of St. Paul (now Wells Fargo Place). Eventually, by 1987, almost all of the office space in the tower had been leased, but the residential leasing was less successful.</p><br>
<h3>Redevelopment</h3><br>
<p>In 2022, developer Sherman Associates proposed converting almost all of the building to residential use, at an estimated cost of $80 to $85 million. The developer cited an office occupancy of less than 10 percent in the first to nineteenth floors, as well as a greater demand for housing in downtown areas with proximity to restaurants, theater, art, and sports venues. The conversion would depend heavily on financing, with historic tax credits driven by the National Register nomination.</p><br>
<p>Bonnie Blue Southern Market & Bakery, more commonly known as Bonnie Blue, is a restaurant located at 334 West Boscawen Street in Winchester, Virginia, United States. It specializes in barbecuing various meats, and offers side dishes and baked goods. The meat and other items are often purchased from local producers. The restaurant opened in 2012 inside a former Esso gas station built in 1920. It is sited at the triangular intersection of Amherst Street  and West Boscawen Street. The restaurant is named after the Bonnie Blue flag used by the short-lived Republic of West Florida. The building is painted light blue to signify the name. Bonnie Blue eventually outgrew its original space and expanded into an adjoining building. The restaurant is decorated with eclectic signs and objects.</p><br>
<p>During its history, Bonnie Blue has become a popular place, lauded in local and national news. A 2016 article in The New York Times listing Bonnie Blue as one of 13 essential barbecue restaurants to visit brought much attention to the restaurant. The restaurant has been mentioned in The Washington Post on several occasions. The restaurant and its staff have often donated food and labor to nonprofits and other groups, including the local free clinic, earthquake victims, veterans, and a local HIV/AIDS nonprofit. In 2015 and 2016, the restaurant&#39;s main building and the adjoining space were designated as contributing properties to the Winchester Historic District, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and Virginia Landmarks Register.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<h3>Early history</h3><br>
<p>The building housing Bonnie Blue Southern Market & Bakery, commonly known as Bonnie Blue, is located at 334 West Boscawen Street in Winchester, Virginia. It was built in 1920 in the American Craftsman style. It previously operated as an Esso gas station. Adjoining industrial commercial buildings, 330-332 West Boscawen Street, were added in 1945. An expansion to the Esso building was added in 1957. At some point the property also served as a car dealership.</p><br>
<p>Two businessmen, Brian Pellatt and Christian Schweiger, organized as Bonnie Blue Partners. The owners wanted to welcome locals and visitors into Winchester at the triangular intersection of Amherst Street (USA Route 50) and West Boscawen Street, putting an emphasis on offering food and other items from nearby suppliers when available. After purchasing the property, which was dilapidated, the two spent over four months renovating the building, keeping some of the architectural details. Bonnie Blue opened on September 23, 2012.</p><br>
<p>According to Schweiger, the restaurants décor and name were inspired by the Bonnie Blue flag used by the short-lived Republic of West Florida (RWF). There is a single white star on the blue flag. The restaurant itself is painted the same color blue as the one used by the RWF. Both owners incorporated a mixture of their respective home states culinary traditions. Pellat brought his knowledge of North Carolina cuisine, including barbecue, and Schweiger, being from Texas, spent time learning barbecue techniques there. In addition to barbecue, a variety of other meats, vegetables, cheeses, apple butter, and other food items, are sold. Prepared baked goods include biscuits, cakes, cookies, muffins, and croissants.</p><br>
<h3>2010s</h3><br>
<p>During Bonnie Blues first few years of operations, there was only seating for 20 people inside in addition to picnic tables outside. The total size of the restaurant, including kitchen and office space, was around 5,000 ft2. The smoker runs for around 20 hours each day, but it occasionally runs 24 hours. The restaurants walls are decorated "with randomized paraphernalia, including political campaign signs, a quote from Willie Nelson painted near the ceiling, and a small wooden horse that one of the restaurants owners stole from a beer festival in his youth." According to Schweiger, the restaurants style is "casual Southern food and come as you are."</p><br>
<p>In 2013, Winchesters first Old Town Restaurant Week took place, with Bonnie Blue taking part. Later that year, the restaurant opened a cafe inside the Museum of the Shenandoah Valley, located a short distance away. Instead of a focus on barbecue, which was still offered, the cafe specialized in items such as sandwiches, soups, and salads. By 2014 the restaurant was co-owned by three people: Schweiger, Pellatt, and Stephen Pettler Jr. In November 2014, the restaurants owners signed a lease for an adjoining property, 330 West Boscawen Street. After a $25,000 renovation was completed the following year, the new 1,500 square-foot (139 sq m) expansion added seating for 70 guests.</p><br>
<p>Bonnie Blue Concerts began hosting the Annual Patsy Cline Classic, a concert named after Winchester native Patsy Cline, a couple of years after the series began in 2009. Some of the musicians who have performed at the concert include Willie Nelson, Travis Tritt, Vince Gill, LeAnn Rimes, and The Beach Boys. In 2016, Bonnie Blue was one of two local restaurants to do well in the statewide Virginia is for Lovers Culinary Challenge. Bonnie Blue&#39;s apple pie bar won second place in the baked goods and dessert category.</p><br>
<p>In 2016, Brian Nichols wrote an article in The New York Times titled "13 Essential Barbecue Stops (and What to Order)". Nichols praised the pulled pork sandwich and beans at Bonnie Blue, and if someone ate breakfast there, he recommended the "stellar sausage gravy and even better grits". In another article titled "Before the Wedding, a Test: 3,000 Miles of Barbecue", Nichols said his visit to Bonnie Blue was part of a road trip with his fiancé. According to Pellatt, Nichols and his fiancé ate a late breakfast, visited the nearby Museum of the Shenandoah Valley, and returned for a late lunch. He also said none of the employees knew a reporter was there that day.</p><br>
<p>The barbecue pit and a new 20-foot-by-20-foot (6-meters-by-6-meters) pavilion was named after former employee Sanjaya Bishankhe in 2017. Bishankhe, who had emigrated from Nepal in 2008, started working at Bonnie Blue in 2012 as a dishwasher. He was later promoted to cook and pitmaster and closely bonded with Pellatt. Bishankhe left Bonnie Blue in 2015 to become a restaurant general manager in the Outer Banks. The dedication took place on the one year anniversary of Bishankhes receiving United States citizenship. In 2018, Bonnie Blue hosted Nancy Tabakas first solo art show. A Winchester resident and Art Students League of New York alumnus, Tabaka&#39;s art show was the first time the restaurant had held such an event.

<h3>2020s</h3><br>
<p>During the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic, like most restaurants, Bonnie Blue was ordered to shut down indoor and outdoor seating. Food ordered to-go was still available, and in April, state officials begin allowing alcoholic drinks to also be ordered to-go. By June of that year, diners were able to eat on the patio with certain restrictions.</p><br>
<p>The following year, the regional chamber of commerce named Bonnie Blue as Small Business of the Year in the chambers "Greater Good Awards". Bonnie Blue has often assisted many organizations and events by providing free food and labor.

<h2>Reception</h2><br>
<p>Bonnie Blue has been covered positively by journalists and media organizations, including the 2016 article in The New York Times, and by The Washington Post on several occasions. In 2013, Bonnie Blue was listed as one of the restaurants to visit if one is taking a getaway trip to Winchester. Recommended items mentioned included the catfish, shrimp and grits, biscuits, and various sides and desserts. The following year reporter Holley Simmons wrote the article "Road trip inspiration: Bonnie Blue Southern Market and Bakery in Winchester, Va.". She praised the dessert items and noted the coffee was from a local vendor, Hopscotch Coffee Roasters. In 2018, Sheryl Nance-Nash writing in the New York Amsterdam News described Bonnie Blue as having "a locally sourced menu in a funky setting."</p><br>
<p>Washingtonian magazine encouraged its readers to visit towns in the Shenandoah Valley, and while discussing Winchester and places to eat, Bonnie Blue and its "Dixie Pig-a pulled-pork-stuffed baked potato" was mentioned. Local newspapers have positively reviewed or mentioned Bonnie Blue on many occasions. The Northern Virginia Daily in 2018 described the restaurant as being "known for its Janis Joplin posters, Texas-style barbecue, and made-from-scratch cakes, visitors flock to the 1920s restored Esso station for local and fresh foods." The restaurant&#39;s chef, Brian Pellatt, also shared a recipe for pork belly.</p><br>

<h2>Brief history</h2><br>
<p>The wooden church "Saint George" of the Dragoslavele Hermitage was built in the 18th century, around 1717, in Transylvania, at Luna de Sus, Florești commune. The foundation of the hermitage belongs to Atanasie Popa, and the painting inside the holy place of worship is attributed to the painter Nistor Zugravul from Feleac, being consecrated in 1842, by the Orthodox Bishop Vasile Moga. In 1933, the church was relocated to Predeal, and installed in the "Straja Țării" youth camp, founded by King Carol II. In 1948, the church was transferred to the Podișor hill in Dragoslavele, near the Rucăr-Bran Pass, and it was consecrated on August 21, 1949, becoming a hermitage of monks.</p><br>
<p>The monastic settlement was established in 1929 as a patriarchal summer residence for the priesthood in Muscel County. The Romanian Orthodox Patriarch Iustinian Marina brought the magnificent wooden church from Predeal, restored the walls surrounding the park and the three existing houses. He also established the actual Dragoslavele hermitage, by donating the holy church together with the buildings and adjoining lands; religious services are currently held on Sundays and holidays.</p><br>
<p>The church is placed on a high stone plinth, has walls of wooden beams on the outside, a massive wooden door, and the interior is divided into an altar, nave and porch. The holy monastic place is covered with wood shingles, and the tall spire also serves as a belfry.</p><br>
<p>Within this hermitage, a school of Christian music functioned between the 1950s and 1960s.</p><br>
<p>It should be mentioned that in the courtyard of the Dragoslavele hermitage there is the grave of the construction engineer Dimitrie G. Dima, the builder of the bridges over the Doamnei and Argeș rivers, of the electric plant in Pitești, of numerous villas, public utility buildings, of the wooden bridge over the river Dâmbovița and other numerous buildings.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The church of the Dragoslavele hermitage is built according to a rectangular plan, with a polygonal apse, a veranda on the southern side, as well as a portico – a roof extension supported by two pillars placed in front of the main entrance. Above the pronaos, a large quadrangular spire was built, covered with wood shingles, as well as a balustraded gazebo and pierced arches; the roof is pyramidal with a square base. The traditional wooden decoration (spirals, rosettes, tree of life) adorns the framework of the main access, the balustrade of the tower gazebo (ornaments) as well as at the wooden bars of the porch.</p><br>
<h2>Paintings</h2><br>
<p>The painting of the church is made in tempera without binder, on a thin support of slaked lime, applied to wood or strips of woven fabric, and covers the entire surface between the wooden beams of the walls as well as the vault. The painting, with an accentuated graphic style, is naive.</p><br>

<p>The Honey Creek Swiss Rural Historic District is a national historic district in rural Sauk County, Wisconsin. The district encompasses 46 farms over 12 square miles which were settled by Swiss Americans in the 1840s and 1850s. The settlers were Walser people from the canton of Graubünden, and the Honey Creek area remained ethnically homogenous through the end of the nineteenth century. The district includes substantial log and stone houses from the period of early settlement, reflecting the wealth of the new settlers, as well as timber-framed homes within the fachwerk tradition. Later houses in the district reflect contemporary American architectural forms, such as the gable-ell pattern house. The settlers established two churches in the area in the 1850s, one for a German Evangelical congregation and one for a Swiss Reformed congregation; both original church buildings are still standing. The district also includes a variety of barns and agricultural buildings which illustrate the local transition from wheat farming to dairy farming over the nineteenth century.</p><br>

<p>The Campbell Dome House is a historic, mid-century modern home located at 8126 Hamilton Drive in Overland Park, Kansas. Bob D. Campbell, a civil engineer, set out to design a residence beneath a dome for his family, who were originally from South Texas, so that they could enjoy the "outdoors" all year. Campbell chose to use a Schwedler dome, which consists of meridional ribs connected to a number of horizontal polygonal rings, to accomplish this. He believed that incorporating domes into home design offered significant advantages and that the design represented the future of architecture as domes offered more space while using less material. Construction on the home began in 1967 and was finished in 1968.</p><br>
<p>The 80-foot-diameter dome covers a U-shaped three-bedroom house that opens to a covered south-facing tropical courtyard with a 25-foot rubber tree, an in-ground pool, and banana and avocado trees. Campbell and his wife left the home to their children after they died, who turned the dome into an event space.

<p>The Dieringer School buildings are the last remaining group associated with the Dieringer community. Constructed in 1921 and 1928 by Tacoma architect Emanuel J. Bresemann. As the community of Norwood, established on May 5, 1888, with Joseph C. Dieringer, its first postmaster. Dieringer, had a restaurant in Tacoma, before he moved to the Stuck River Valley in the 1880s. Dr. Charles H. Spinning, had been a physician in the 1860s at the Cushman Indian Agency on the Puyallup Reservation, provided the land for the Dieringer School. In 1892, the post office name was changed from Norwood to Dieringer to honor its first postmaster.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Before 1907, Dieringer was an agricultural community. This changed after the 1906 floods which shifted the White River into the Stuck River and eliminated the community along the Northern Pacific (now Burlington Northern) Railroad line. After the floods, the area was dominated by the construction of the Pacific Coast Power Company (now the Puget Sound Power and Light Company) hydroelectric power plant which was completed in 1912. During construction, the company had its main camp at Dieringer. Once again, the community expanded with the addition of a general store, hotel, and gas station, adjacent to the power company employees&#39; residences and remaining farms.</p><br>
<p>The Community was focused on the school. Dieringer district was formed on December 6, 1890. In 1892, they purchased a storage shed and the land on which the school was built from Dr. Spinning. Beginning around 1910, a two-room structure and teachers cottage were built. Various additions were made to expand the curriculum, providing skills in the domestic science and manual skills. The land around the school was a childrens garden. The district let the Dieringer residents cultivate private gardens on the land not needed for educational purposes. The teacher&#39;s cottage became the home of the principal. It had been in front of the school building and was moved, the south of the school.)</p><br>
<p>A gymnasium, swimming pool, and auditorium were approved in 1918 and dedicated in September 1921. These buildings were made available for community use. With the purchase of a movie projector, the gymnasium became a community theater. "Gym Nights" were introduced in the 1920s and night courses in math, grammar, and manual training were available.</p><br>
<p>By the end of the 1920s, the classroom building no longer meet the local needs. In 1927, the district hired Tacoma architect Emanuel J. Bresemann to design a new structure. The building was completed in 1928. The school had three classrooms, a playroom, a library, and rooms for domestic science and manual training.</p><br>
<p>In June 1936, the Dieringer and Lake Tapps communities chose to consolidate as the Dieringer School District. In January 1995, the Dieringer School campus was sold. The current owners restored the classroom building and gymnasium buildings as office and recreational space.</p><br>
<p>The Dieringer School 1936 consolidation reflects the changes in the small communities in Pierce County as the urban centers expand, and improved roads and automobiles, make access to the larger towns, cities and markets easier. The Dieringer post office closed in 1957 and the community was incorporated into Sumner.</p><br>
<h2>Appearance</h2><br>

<p>The Hulburt Creek Garden Beds are an archaeological site on Birchwood Road near its intersection with County Highway H in the town of Delton, Wisconsin. The site encompasses 200 acre of ridged garden beds used by pre-Columbian Native Americans. Based on radiocarbon dating, the garden beds date to roughly 1000 A.D., making them the oldest surviving garden beds in the Upper Midwest; this places the site within the Late Woodland period. The garden beds were most likely used to grow native plants such as corn, beans, squash, and pumpkins. Landowner Bill Pierce donated the site to the Sauk County Historical Society in 2008.</p><br>
<p>The site was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on August 8, 1991.</p><br>
<p>Gish Mill  is an historic gristmill located in Vinton, Virginia.</p><br>
<p>Brothers Christian and David Gish, Sr., early settlers in the region, operated a mill on the site as early as 1797. The original section of the current structure dates to circa 1846, and was built on Glade Creek in Roanoke County by David Gish, Jr. The mill was one of several on Glade and nearby Wolf Creeks built by members of the Gish family, giving the area its informal name of Gishs Mills (later Gishs Mill) before incorporating as the Town of Vinton in 1884. The mills importance in Vintons history is reflected in its depiction on the town&#39;s official seal.</p><br>
<p>The facility originally utilized water-powered millstones for grinding, but was converted to an electric roller mill in the early 20th century. It survived at least two instances of fire, once in 1924 and again in 1940, yet saw continued use as a mill into the 21st century. The most recent tenant ceased operations in 2014, and after a period of disuse, the structure has been placed on the National Register of Historic Places. it is in the process of restoration as a mixed-use development consisting of lodging, commercial, and restaurant space.</p><br>
<p>The Wilkeson Coke Ovens are from the early industrial period in Washington. The ovens are a result of the growth of the railroad in Puget Sound. Washington&#39;s coal industry was an enterprise with much promise but has never grown. It has remains a subdued element in the history of the Puget Sound Region. The Pierce County beehive coke ovens, of which those at Wilkeson were the most numerous and active, were the sole supply of coke in the coastal area. The coke ovens were added to the National Register of Historic Places on June 10, 1974.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The beehive-shaped brick ovens are approximately 8 ft high and 12 ft in diameter, covered with 6 inch of cement with a small hole on top. A protective 10 ft high sandstone wall that faced the ovens was removed in the late 1940s, resulting in some erosion of the earth covering the ovens. Only 30 of the original 160 ovens remain.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The growing interest in building a railroad to the Pacific Ocean led a survey of the resources of along coast region. The War Department made surveys of various routes. The results of the expeditions were later incorporated into a series of reports.</p><br>
<p>Coal was known as early as 1862 or 1863. It is assumed that these were the beds along the Carbon River, whose steep canyon reveals outcrops of thick seams of coal. The topography in the canyon was not favorable for exploration, but other outcrops can be found along South Prairie Creek and the tributaries of the Puyallup River were more accessible and prospecting was done from 1874 to 1883.</p><br>

<p>The Cadieux School is a former school building located at 389 Saint Clair Avenue in Grosse Pointe, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2023.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The first school districts in Grosse Pointe Township were established in the 1840s, and by 1860 the township had six school districts and one fractional district. District No. 1 had a frame school located at Jefferson and Balfour; in the late 1860s the district constructed a new brick school on Jefferson. Near the end of the 19th century, the population of Grosse Pointe increased as the area became less rural and more suburban. In 1901, with their Jefferson school at capacity, District No. 1 announced plans to construct a new schoolhouse on Saint Clair Avenue. In 1902, the district hired architect Frank C. Baldwin of the Detroit firm Stratton and Baldwin to design the building. However, the project was delayed due to the need to issue bonds to support the increased cost of construction, and work on the school was not begun until March 1906. The eight-room school opened in October 1906 with three teachers and 96 students; the building was named after the Cadieuxs, one of Grosse Pointe&#39;s founding French families.</p><br>
<p>The surrounding neighborhood continued to grow, and in 1916, the district hired the architecture firm of Joseph E. Mills and Son to design a new eight room addition to the school. However, by 1923 the school was beyond capacity, and kindergarteners had to attend class in a nearby cottage. The district purchased the adjacent lot and constructed a temporary building to house the overflow. The construction of a high school in 1928 alleviated some issues, but Cadieux School still housed 367 pupils in 1929. The district constructed the Lewis E. Maire Elementary School in 1936, and the younger students from the Cadieux School transferred there, leaving the school with seventh and eighth grade students. By this time, the Cadieux School housed the administrative offices of the school district.</p><br>
<p>The building was later used as administrative offices, but in 2020 the district consolidated administrative operations at Grosse Pointe North High School and sold the Cadieux School building.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The original 1906 building is a two-story brick building with a shallow shingled hipped roof. The corners are quoined with alternating brick and limestone bands. Dentil work runs along the frieze at the top of the building. A central entrance containing double doors projects outward. A limestone plaque above is inscribed "Cadieux School District Number One Township of Grosse Pointe." Above is a doublehung twelve-over-twelve window. A set of four double-hung nine-over-nine windows flank the center entrance on each floor.</p><br>
<p>The 1918 addition is a two-story flat roofed structure. The facade complements the architecture of the 1906 school. The two buildings are connected by a two-story masonry connector completed in 2001.</p><br>

The first floor housed a dining room, which was later converted to a saloon, along with the innkeeper&#39;s quarters and storage rooms; the second floor had twenty guest rooms. The hotel was part of a group of hotels near the Baraboo railroad station and Ringling Brothers Circus headquarters; these hotels served tourists, circus workers, and traveling salesmen. Thompson sold the hotel before 1915, but it operated as a hotel under several names until the 1960s; it has since been converted to apartments.</p><br>

<p>The J. W. Corwith Livery is a historic livery building at 121 S. Webb Avenue in Reedsburg, Wisconsin. William Corwith built the livery in 1911; at the time it was one of three liveries operating in Reedsburg. The horse and buggy was still a primary means of transportation in the early twentieth century, and liveries both cared for personal horses and provided horses and buggies to transport people who did not own a horse. The one-story brick building included a waiting room, office, carriage room, and stable space for up to 120 horses. As the automobile became more popular, the livery transitioned to providing horses for private events and pleasure riding, and like many liveries it eventually became an auto garage as well.</p><br>
<p>The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on April 20, 2004.</p><br>
<p>The State Bank of Spring Green is a historic bank building at 134 W. Jefferson Street in Spring Green, Wisconsin.

Hilgen and Frank L. Ludwig of Cedarburg designed the Neoclassical building. The one-story brick buildings design features a recessed entrance with a terra cotta door frame, a Classical column on each side of the entrance, a frieze with ornamental corbels, a dentillated cornice, and a parapet roof. The design uses brown terra cotta supplied by the Midland Terra Cotta Company; brown terra cotta was much more expensive than the white terra cotta typically seen in Neoclassical buildings of the era. The bank is the only Neoclassical building in Spring Green.</p><br>

<p>The Rest Haven Motel, also known as the Usonian Inn, is a historic motel at E5116 USA Highway 14 in Spring Green, Wisconsin. Mr. and Mrs. John Michels opened the motel in 1952 to serve travelers on the new route of USA 14, which was realigned to bypass downtown Spring Green in 1944. Architect Jesse C. Caraway, a member of Frank Lloyd Wrights Taliesin Fellowship, designed the motel according to Wrights Usonian principles. The hotel has a two-story central core, which contains its office and owners residence, and two one-story wings of rooms with low cantilevered canopy roofs, reflecting the typical pattern of Usonian homes. Each room has small, high windows on the side of the building facing the road and larger windows in the rear; this arrangement, which was common to both Wrights work and motel designs of the era, provided lodgers with privacy while giving them a protected view of the motel&#39;s natural surroundings. While the hotel has passed through multiple owners, it is still in operation and is a rare intact example of an owner-occupied mid-century motel.</p><br>
<p>The motel was added to the National Register of Historic Places on July 20, 2011.</p><br>
<p>The Otto Sr. and Lisette Hahn House is a historic house at 626 Water Street in Sauk City, Wisconsin.
