<p>Harrisburg School is a historic one-room schoolhouse in the township of Troy in rural Sauk County, Wisconsin. The Harrisburg School District built the school in 1892 to replace its original 1856 school building, which the district had outgrown by the 1890s. The one-story school is 26 by and has clapboard siding and a gable roof topped by a wooden belfry over the entrance. As the community of Harrisburg was quite small, the school mainly served children living on farms in the surrounding area. A furnace was added to the school in 1908, and the Works Progress Administration added a basement and new ceilings to the structure in the 1930s. The school closed in 1955 as a result of rural school consolidation in Sauk County.</p><br>
<p>The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on March 24, 2015.</p><br>
<p>The Spellman Granite Works is a historic industrial building at 615 Phillips Boulevard in Sauk City, Wisconsin. While it was originally built elsewhere in Sauk City for the Kahn Foundry and Wagon Company, brothers Bill, Harry, and John Spellman purchased it in 1915 and moved it to its current location two years later. The Spellman brothers produced granite monuments and memorials, particularly tombstones and other burial markers. At the time, Wisconsin had roughly twenty granite quarries, and many stonecrafting companies formed to turn rough granite into monuments. The company expanded their workshop in 1921, and continued to grow and mechanize their process over the next decade; by 1945, they had become the second-largest granite monument company in the state. They also played a role in Sauk Citys civic life by donating statues for local veterans memorials and cornerstones for new public buildings. The company continued to use the building until 2005, when it relocated to an industrial park outside of Sauk City; by the late twentieth century, they were the largest of only three granite monument companies remaining in Wisconsin.</p><br>
<p>The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on July 14, 2015.</p><br>
<p>The Downtown Baraboo Historic District is a national historic district in downtown Baraboo, Wisconsin. The district encompasses 78 contributing buildings, most of which are commercial buildings centered around the Sauk County Courthouse square. Development in the district began in the 1840s; at the time, the courthouse district was considered the wealthy part of Baraboo by comparison to the more industrial areas by the Baraboo River and the railroad. The oldest contributing buildings in the district date to the 1870s, when economic growth in Baraboo and a series of fires that destroyed older buildings spurred extensive construction in the courthouse district. New buildings continued to be built in the district through the mid-twentieth century, with the latest contributing building being the 1966 Baraboo City Hall. The district includes examples of most popular architectural styles of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, including Italianate, Romanesque Revival, Neoclassical, Colonial Revival and other revival styles, Beaux-Arts, Prairie School, Modernist, and vernacular commercial styles.</p><br>
<p>The district was added to the National Register of Historic Places on June 8, 2015. Three buildings in the district are listed individually on the National Register: the Sauk County Courthouse, the Al. Ringling Theatre, and the Gust Brothers&#39; Store.</p><br>

<p>Mineral Point Hill is a hill and former mining site in Mineral Point, Wisconsin, bounded by Wisconsin Highway 23, Shake Rag Street, Copper Street, and Dodge Street. It is the site of the 1825 discovery of lead ore in Mineral Point, which drew settlers to the region over the next decade. Many of these new residents were Cornish immigrants, and they settled in a community called Pendarvis at the base of the hill. The wave of settlement led to Mineral Points establishment in the 1830s, making it the third-oldest city in Wisconsin. The hill was also the site of the Merry Christmas zinc mine, which operated from 1906 to 1912; by this point, zinc had supplanted lead as the areas most plentiful resource. The site includes a mine office building, the shaft of the Merry Christmas mine, and several filled mine sites.</p><br>

<p>Almost all the houses were developed in four groups, so that six houses on Bush Street are essentially identical to each other, as are three different ones on Bush Street, two on Sutter Street and six on Cottage Row. All these are two-story frame structures of Italianate style or early Stick style.</p><br>
<p>The Real Estate Associates (TREA), San Franciscos largest residential housing developer of the 1870s, built 2115–2125 Bush Street and 1942–1948 Sutter Street. In the 1870s TREA built over 1,000 houses, usually in developments similar to this one in San Franciscos Mission District, Western Addition and Pacific Heights, It catered to the working class, appealing to a mass market with easy credit and plentiful advertising. The president of TREA was William Hollis (1839–1895) had come to California in 1852 from Missouri. In September 1874, the TREA company had bought the whole block west of what is now Cottage Row for $25,250 and, following their usual practice, had subdivided the land into 23 lots. They sold the subdivision lots and houses for US$14,200 to $6,623 from January 16 to August 28, 1875.</p><br>

<p>The Main Street and Murray Avenue Historic District of Worcester, Massachusetts encompasses a collection of stylistically similar apartment houses in the city&#39;s Piedmont neighborhood. It includes four properties, two each on Main Street and Murray Avenue, which form a cluster of apartment houses of a style that once lined both streets for greater length. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2022.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Worcester&#39;s Piedmont area is southwest of its downtown, with Main Street (Massachusetts Route 9) forming one of its primary arteries. Murray Avenue runs parallel to Main Street, just to its north between Madison and Piedmont Streets. During the late 19th century, this area was heavily developed with residential housing, primarily multistory apartment blocks built of brick and stone. Subsequent redevelopment and urban renewal has resulted in the demolition of many of these buildings. A large cluster of them are found north of Murray Avenue in the Wellington Street Apartment House District. Just southwest of Wellington Street stand a group of four apartment blocks, two each facing Murray Avenue and Main Street. Prior to the development of this area, it formed part of the estate of gunmaker Ethan Allen.</p><br>
<p>The two blocks facing Massachusetts were previously listed on the National Register as Boynton and Windsor in 1980. They are nearly identical four-story structures, built of red brick with stone trim. They were designed by Barker & Nourse and built c. 1887, featuring Queen Anne styling. Behind them, facing Murray Avenue, are The Kensington and The Buckingham, built in 1898 to a design by the father-son team of Charles Philander Johnson and Guy Benjamin Johnson. They are five stories in height, also built of red brick with stone trim, but are Classical Revival in style. They are one of the few documented works of this short-lived partnership.</p><br>

They do not have arms or legs and possess large eyes and skull-like heads, similar to the ones found in Horseshoe Canyon.</p><br>
<p>The American Optical Company Historic District encompasses a historic industrial complex on the Quinebaug River in Southbridge, Massachusetts. Located on roughly 80 acre east of downtown Southbridge, the complex was developed between the 1880s and 1950s by the American Optical Company , one of the largest manufacturers of eyewear at the turn of the 20th century. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2023.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The American Optical Company was founded in Southbridge in 1869, by the merger of several other lens manufacturers whose origins in the town dated back to the 1830s. The company was at first located on East Main Street, but it soon relocated to Mechanic Street, where one of its largest surviving plant buildings still stands. Over the next century the company expanded greatly, occupying land on both sides of the Quinebaug River. By the early 20th century, it was the worlds largest manufacturer of eyewear, with multiple manufacturing facilities and an international sales force. Although the companys independent existence ended in 1967, portions of its manufacturing facilities continue to be used by successors for glass-related manufacturing.</p><br>
<p>The companys facilities sprawl across about 80 acre, occupying land on both sides of the Quinebaug River and an on island in the river. The former main plant, dating to the early 20th century, is located on Mechanic Street on the rivers south bank, and was designed by Earle & Fuller. Now housing a hotel and conference center, this large brick building has fine Romanesque styling. Later buildings of the complex are generally concrete construction, with the lens plant specifically sited and designed to minimize the intrusion of dust into the glass manufacturing processes.</p><br>
<p>The Mary E. Wells School is a historic school building at 80 Marcy Street in Southbridge, Massachusetts. Built in 1916, it is one the last known commissions of the architectural firm Peabody & Stearns. It was built with funding from Mary E. Wells, wife of George Wells, founder of the locally prominent American Optical Company. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2023.

<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The former Mary E. Wells School building stands west of downtown Southbridge, on a large parcel at the northwest corner of Marcy Street and Main Street (Massachusetts Route 131). It is a U-shaped two-story masonry structure, built out of brick with cast stone trim, and set on a raised basement. The main façade, facing Marcy Street, is adorned by two projecting entry pavilions with elaborate door surrounds.</p><br>
<p>The school was built in 1916 to a design by Peabody & Stearns, and is believed to be one that firms last commissions. Originally more elaborate, the building design was simplified to reduce construction costs. It was expanded several times, in 1925 and again in the 1980s. It served as the citys first purpose-built high school, previous secondary school education having been given in the town hall. It remained in use as the high school until 1960, when the current Southbridge High School opened. It was converted into a junior high school, and was closed in 2012. The building is named for Mary E. Wells, wife of American Optical founder George Wells, who was the first woman elected to public office in the community, serving on its board of education in the 1890s. It has since been converted to residential use.</p><br>

<p>The school was built in 1925 and opened in 1926. It was designed by local architect Morris W. Maloney, who is credited with school designs in other regional communities. The school was designed to house 1,100 students, and featured the latest advances in ventilation and fireproof construction. It served the community until 2011, when a tornado did extensive damage to the school and surrounding area on June 1.</p><br>
<p>In June 2018 the building was purchased from the City of Springfield by Home City Development, Inc. for the purpose of adapting and reusing the building as affordable housing. Home City Development secured a variety of construction and permanent financing sources including State and federal Historic Rehabilitation Tax Credits; Low Income Housing Tax Credits; City of Springfield HOME and Community Preservation Act funds; soft loans from MA Executive Office of Housing and Livable Communities; a TD Bank construction loan; and MassHousing workforce and permanent loans. Construction began in March 2021 and was complete in April 2022. The building now includes 42 one, two and three-bedroom rental apartments, 35 of which are affordable to households with income at or below 60% of Area Median, and 7 affordable to households with income at or below 80% of Area Median.</p><br>
<p>In October 2021 the City of Springfield created the Elias Brookings Local Historic District. In May 2023 National Park Service placed the building on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>Schwartz Castle is a historic house in the German Village neighborhood of Columbus, Ohio. The building contributes to the city-listed and National Register-listed district of the same name. The house was built around 1880 for German immigrant Frederich Wilhelm Schwartz, and has seen periods of vacancy surrounding periods of private residential ownership. In the early 20th century, it served as the Columbus Maternity Hospital, the only major public use of the building.</p><br>
<h2>Attributes</h2><br>
<p>Schwartz Castle is an elaborate brick house, named due to its "castle-like" details. John M. Clark, writing for German Village Stories Behind the Brick, called the house potentially "the most unusual" in the neighborhood.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The house was built around 1880 for Frederich Wilhelm Schwartz, a recent German immigrant. Schwartz was a successful business owner who operated an apothecary at East Main and North Fourth streets. Schwartz was a part of the sanitary movement in the 19th century, and thus had his house affixed with easy-to-clean surfaces, including tile walls and iron stairways, and had a turret built atop the building. Schwartz would sunbathe daily inside the turret.</p><br>
<p>Biographies of Schwartz range in details, with some incorrectly adding eccentric details to his life. Although Schwartz lived in the house with his sister until his death, rumors spread of him becoming unhinged after a fiancée broke off their engagement, and that he died alone with his body undiscovered for weeks. After Schwartz&#39;s death, his friend George Karb (long-time mayor of Columbus) served as the executor of his estate.</p><br>
<p>After Schwartz&#39;s death, the house was vacant for three years. In 1917, it became home to the Columbus Maternity Hospital. After the hospital closed, the building became vacant once again, and fell into disrepair. In the mid-1950s it became a rooming house, and drew attention for two murders that took place there. In the 1960s the house was condemned and faced demolition. In 1973, partners Bob Echele and Bob Gease purchased the house, gutting it and adding a fourth floor behind the turret. The couple installed a movie theater, ballroom, and private elevator. In 2003, realtor Mike Ferris purchased the house and again renovated the interior. In 2010 a bank owned the property, and it returned into private ownership in 2011.</p><br>
<p>The Circleville Historic District in Circleville, Ohio in Pickaway County, Ohio is a historic district which was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978. Its 35 acre area included 69 contributing buildings.</p><br>
<p>The districts (and Circlevilles) center is the Pickaway County Courthouse. Circleville&#39;s original layout was designed to have streets radiating away from it, and it was to be enclosed by two concentric circular streets. By 1860, the "circle was squared" by subsequent development and alterations to property lines.</p><br>
<p>The district has numerous examples of Late Victorian architecture, including of Queen Anne and Italianate styles.</p><br>
<h2>Locations</h2><br>
<p>Selected buildings are:</p><br>
<p>Pickaway County Courthouse (1847, 1896). This was built in 1847 as a small Greek Revival-style courthouse. It was extensively modified in 1896 by architects Weary & Kramer, so much so that the original building was almost entirely concealed. It has smooth stone pilasters, a hipped roof, and a square tower.</p><br>
<p>Circleville City Hall (1861), also known as "Circleville City Building". This was designed by local architect William Doane in "Romano-Tuscan style" (i.e. Italianate style?). As common in Italianate architecture in the United States, it has eaves ostensibly supported by decorative wooden brackets and a wooden cupola. It was in excellent condition in 1977. William Doane also designed the William Marshall Anderson House, also in Circleville and National Register-listed.</p><br>
<p>Sheriffs Office & Jail (c.1890). This was at first a two-story brick-and-stone Queen Anne-style house with a round tower at its northeast corner. It was later converted to hold the sheriffs office, and a jail was added in a three-story brick extension to the rear.</p><br>
<p>Masonic Lodge (1876), 113-115 W. Main St. Italianate, brick-and-stone, four-story building designed by J.T. Harris of Columbus. Its upper two floors were used for Masonic lodge purposes.</p><br>
<p>The Peoples Bank (aka Marfield Bank) (1848), 133-135 W. Main St. This was operated as a bank by Samuel Marfield until 1877. According to the National Register nomination, this "2-story brick and stone building is the only remaining structure with a portion of its property line still part of the original circular pattern." The Pickaway County Historical Society restored it in 1972.</p><br>
<p>The Olds Building (aka Old Masonic Lodge) (1837), 115-119 W. Main St. Three-story brick building with parapet walls. In 1977 its first floor held two businesses "which have been there since the mid-1800&#39;s."</p><br>
<p>Pythian Castle, 118 N. Court St.</p><br>
<p>Circleville Post Office, 224 S. Court St. The post office was not mentioned in the 1977 National Register nomination as a contributing building, nor is it mentioned as an intrusion, but it is included within the district&#39;s boundaries.</p><br>
<p>Moore House (1818, 1844, 1870), 304 S. Court St. Brick house with bracketed cornice and bracketed hoods over its doors. It was modified in 1844 by Samuel Moore (d.1902) who was "one of the most outstanding and public spirited citizens of Circleville." In 1977 the house was still owned by Moore family members.</p><br>
<p>Hausfrau Haven is a wine shop in the German Village neighborhood of Columbus, Ohio. The store makes up the ground floor of 769 South Third Street, a contributing property to the German Village historic district, listed by the city and on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>The building&#39;s earliest history is unknown. The oldest photograph dates to c. 1890, showing a "sample room", saloon, and a grocery or hardware store in the building. The second floor appears to have always been used for apartments. In the 1950s, a portion of the building held a grocery store operated by Adam Sauer. After a few years, Tony Shumick moved his own grocery into the building. In the mid-1970s, partners Fred Holdridge and Howard Burns established Hausfrau Haven, then a small market. The two stocked any items two or more customers would ask for; wine and The New York Times were especially popular. The store operated every day except January 1, when community members and customers would help them take inventory. The store was also noted for its witty signs, including those reading "Unattended children will be sold!" and "We will not be taken over by The Limited!".</p><br>
<p>Over several decades, Fred became occupied with more civic roles, especially with the German Village Society. Howard and his mother predominantly operated the store counter at this time. Howard died in 2001; Fred sold the store five years later, in an agreement that he could live above it until his death (he passed in 2010). In the present day, the store&#39;s owners continue to run the shop in a similar manner to Fred and Howard. In 2014 the German Village Society dedicated a plaque commemorating the achievements of Fred and Howard; the plaque is attached to the southeast corner of the building.</p><br>
<p>The S. Gourse & Sons Block is a historic commercial building located at 162-170 Pleasant Street in Fall River, Massachusetts.

The older building, constructed 1896–99, has three storefronts on the ground floor and eight window bays on the upper floors. It is stylistically a simple version of the Classical Revival, with stone sills and headers; the headers of the third-floor windows form a continuous band. The 1926 building is three bays wide, and has more elaborate styling. Its upper window bays are separated by pilasters, and there is a dentillated cornice beneath a tiered parapet at the roof line. The interior has been extensively renovated to provide residential housing.</p><br>
<p>The 1899 building was designed by Joseph M. Darling, and the 1926 building was designed by Edward M. Corbett; both were prominent local architects. The ground-floor storefront of the 1899 building was initially occupied by Simon Gourses retail clothing business. Gourse eventually purchased the entire building, and oversaw its expansion in 1926. The building is a rare surviving structure from the period in Fall Rivers downtown area, which suffered from a major fire in 1928, and then the construction of Interstate 195 in the 1970s.</p><br>
<p>The Third Street Commercial Corridor Historic District is a historic district on Third Street in Fall River, Massachusetts. It encompasses a pair of early 20th-century commercial buildings that have survived subsequent urban renewal projects in the city&#39;s downtown area. The district was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2023.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Third Street Commercial Corridor Historic District consists of a pair of early 20th-century buildings located on the east side of Third Street south of Bedford Street, just east of Fall River&#39;s city hall and across the street from the central post office. The southern building, known alternatively as the List Building or ILGWU Headquarters Building, is a two-story masonry structure, its main facade faced in buff-colored brick with neo-Classical architectural details. The northern building, known as the Allen, Slade Headquarters Building, is a four-story red brick structure, set on a rusticated stone foundation. It has more restrained neo-Classical features.</p><br>
<p>The Allen, Slade Building was built in 1910 for Allen, Slade & Company, a major wholesale dry goods and grocery retailer in the city for more than fifty years. The company occupied the building until 1939, using the building for its headquarters, and as a successful specialty clothing storage facility on its lower levels. Following the companys departure, the building housed a variety of commercial, retail, and professional tenants. It was converted to residential use in 2019–21. The ILGWU Headquarters building was built in 1930 for the List brothers, who operated an auto parts store on the premises and leased some of the space out to other commercial tenants. The local chapter of the International Ladies Garment Workers Union (ILGWU) purchased the building in 1951, converting it to house its headquarters and a womens health center. The health center closed in 1978, and the union moved out in 1995, and sold the property to a real estate developer in 2003. It was converted to residential use in 2022–23.</p><br>
<p>The Essex Street Historic District is a residential historic district in Holyoke, Massachusetts. It runs along Essex Street between Chestnut and Pine Streets, with additional properties on the adjacent side streets. It contains a diversity of housing representative of styles covering a century of development in the area. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2023.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Holyokes Essex Street Historic District is located a short way west of the citys downtown, occupying 4.9 acre centered on a three-block stretch of Essex Street. It is bounded on the northwest by Pine Street and Chestnut Street to the southeast, extending to including properties on Walnut and Elm Streets adjacent to Essex. The district is architecturally diverse, including single-family homes on small lots, rowhouses, smaller multiunit (two and three-family) houses, and larger apartment blocks. The oldest building in the district is the Italianate Newton House on Elm Street, built c. 1877. The district is dominated by several multistory brick apartment blocks dating to the early 20th century. Also of interest are brick rowhouses lining part of Walnut Street, which date to the 1880s and have Queen Anne styling.</p><br>
<p>Essex Street was laid out by 1870, but was not immediately developed. Its first phase of development was the construction of larger single-family houses such as the Newton House, built for executives of Holyoke&#39;s industrial concerns and local small-business owners in the 1870s. Density of housing soon increased, with the construction of the rowhouses on Walnut Street, and the first multistory apartment block in 1888. Development intensified in the early 20th century, when some of the larger homes were demolished to facilitate construction of more apartment blocks. By the mid-20th century, most of the single-family home had been converted to multifamily use.</p><br>
<p>The Forty Acres and Its Skirts Historic District is a rural historic district along the Connecticut River in Hadley, Massachusetts. Located north of the town center on River Road, the district is a rural landscape with a well-documented history of settlement and usage from the mid-18th century into the 20th century. It includes the Porter-Phelps-Huntington House and adjacent properties, which have been home to a succession of prominent local families. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2023.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>"Forty Acres" is a name given in the 17th century to a tract of land lying north of the village center of Hadley, located between the Connecticut River and Mount Warner, a prominent local hill. The "skirts" of the property referred to the outlying uplands of the property near the mountain. The Forty Acres name persisted, and in 1752 was applied to the house built by Moses Porter which is now known as the Porter-Phelps-Huntington House. The district also includes the Phelps Farm, located on the east side of River Drive, which was established in 1816 and retains a significant number of 19th-century outbuildings, and the 1927 Sessions House, built on the Phelps Farm property.</p><br>
<p>The history of this district is richly attested by detailed family records now archived at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst. Included in the records are the use of slave labor in the development of the Porter-Phelps-Huntington House in the 18th century, as well as the important role the women of the owning families played in the development and management of the farms. The Porter-Phelps-Huntington House is now a historic house museum that preserves family objects and artifacts and interprets the history of the area.</p><br>
<p>The Garritse–Doremus–Westervelt House, also known as the Vanderhoef–Westervelt House, is a historic Dutch Colonial stone farmhouse located at 794 Park Drive in Weasel Brook Park in the city of Clifton in Passaic County, New Jersey, United States. It was documented by the Historic American Buildings Survey  in 1939 and was added to the National Register of Historic Places on March 20, 2023, for its significance in architecture. The house is one of the oldest in the county.</p><br>
<h2>History and description</h2><br>
<p>Gilbert Vanderhoef received the property as a gift from his father-in-law John E. Vreeland and subsequently built a farmhouse and gristmill, powered by the Weasel Brook. Garret Garritse purchased the property in 1736. After his death in 1737, the farm passed to his son Peter Garritse. He and his wife Jane, built the northeastern part of the house. They sold the property to Ralph Doremus in 1805. He sold it to Sophia Westervelt in 1825. She and her husband David added the southwestern part of the house and attached kitchen wing. Their son Richard Westervelt inherited the property in 1875. Edward Jewett bought the property in 1905 as an investment. The Passaic County Park Commission purchased the property in 1931.</p><br>
<p>C. W. Mertz Rental House No. 2 is a building in Forest Grove, Oregon that was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on June 21, 2005. It was built by architect John Taylor. It is a contributing property within the Clark Historic District.</p><br>
<p>The house is notable for being built of hollow concrete walls, a process developed by John Taylor. The Taylor Process Hollow Concrete Wall system had two concrete walls with a continuous air space between them. Taylor filed a patent for the mold that was used to build the walls. As the walls were built up vertically from a concrete foundation, reinforcing ties were added between the double walls. When the specified height was reached, the top was closed with a suitable cap. The exterior walls could be finished with any adaptable finish, but stucco was the most common method. The Zula Linklater House in Hillsboro was also built using this construction method. About a dozen buildings in Forest Grove, and a few outside the city, were constructed using Taylor&#39;s double-wall method.</p><br>
<p>The Oxford School is a historic school building at 347 Main Street in Fairhaven, Massachusetts. Built in 1896 and enlarged in 1921, it was the town&#39;s first large elementary school, built for an part of the community which grew rapidly due to its proximity to the mills of New Bedford. The building, a good example of period neo-Classical architecture, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2023. It has been converted to residential use.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The former Oxford School building is located in northern Fairhaven, at the southeast corner of Main and Morton Streets. It is an L-shaped structure two stories in height, with neo-Classical features. Its original main block is finished in red brick, with a projecting -story entry pavilion at the center of its symmetrical facade. The main block is connected via a narrow connector at its rear to a wide two-story extension added in 2021-22 when the building was converted to residential use.</p><br>
<p>The schools main block was built in two stages. The first part, built in 1896, was five bays deep and three wide; the second, added in 1914, was also five by 3, giving the building its present symmetrical appearance. It was the towns first large-scale elementary school, built to meet demand caused by residential growth. This growth was spurred by the construction of a bridge across the Acushnet River, opening the area to workers in the mills of New Bedford. The school was again enlarged in the early 1950s; this addition was demolished as part of the 2021-22 residential conversion.</p><br>
<p>The original building contains a bell made by American Revolution icon Paul Revere in 1796. The bell was purchased to be placed on top of Oxford School in 1915, and was temporarily removed between 2015 and 2021 during renovations to allow for restoration of the cupola.</p><br>

<p>The St. Nicholas Ukrainian Catholic Church was built in 1909 to serve the growing immigrant community. Preceding World War I, Wilmington experienced an exponential influx of new residents from Ukraine. The neighborhood that subsenquently became known as “Little Ukraine” was home to Saints Peter and Paul Ukrainian Orthodox Church, and also to St. Nicholas Ukrainian Catholic Church.</p><br>
<p>The church became the pulse of the Ukrainian community, serving as a gathering place for debates and resolutions on current events both local and national.</p><br>
<p>Eventually, the church membership outgrew the capacity of the structure to accommodate all, and in 1968 erected a new building on Miller Road and Lea Boulevard. The South Heald St. structure was eventually sold to the New Calvary Baptist Church.</p><br>
<p>The St. Pauli Norwegian Evangelical Lutheran Church is a Gothic Revival or Late Victorian styled evangelical Lutheran church in Clinton, Big Stone County, Minnesota. It is on the United States National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>The St. Pauli Norwegian Evangelical Lutheran Church is located near Lysing Lake, Clinton. It is situated on the intersection of USA Route 75, Big Stone County Road 60 and Big Stone County Road 8. It is 2.3 miles away from the center of Clinton: a 3-mile drive on average. The St. Pauli Norwegian Evangelical Lutheran Church is surrounded by native trees, brush, and corn fields.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The St. Pauli Norwegian Evangelical Lutheran Church was founded an built in 1896 on $3,300 of land by Sevrin and Lisbet Huselid; years after a conflict with the Trinity Lutheran Church. The conflict started when the two churches in the Almond Township of Big Stone County split in two over religious beliefs, with the St. Pauli Norwegian Lutheran Church believing in a Norwegian Synod ideal, while the Trinity Lutheran Church believing in a United Lutheran Church ideal. Both churches built their main buildings in 1896, with St. Pauli Norwegian Evangelical Lutheran Church receiving an extension in 1911 for a parochial school. The churches then started to cooperate with each other from 1920 to 1944, with pastors preaching at both locations. In May 1957, the St. Pauli Norwegian Evangelical Lutheran Church and the Trinity Lutheran Church reunited after a congregational voting session.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the United States National Register of Historic Places on August 26, 2010.</p><br>
<p>The Bally Blacksmith Shop is a historic building in Grand Marais, Minnesota, United States, built in 1911 and used for nearly a century by three generations of the Bally family blacksmiths. The shop was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986. It was nominated for being "architecturally and historically significant as a rare, intact, operating example of an early twentieth-century blacksmith shop", according to historical consultant Jeffrey Hess.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Bally Blacksmith Shop stands in downtown Grand Marais. Hess&#39; report to the NRHP describes the shop as "a wood-framed, wood-sided, one-story, gable-roofed structure measuring approximately 23 feet by 46 feet." It has not been significantly altered since its construction in 1911, with the exception of replacing the original wooden foundation with concrete in 1971, and a brick chimney in place of the original metal stovepipe at an unknown date.</p><br>
<p>It is a noteworthy example of the utilitarian, commercial, false-front architecture which was once common in small-town Minnesota. It also features an unusually well-preserved interior plan and fixtures of an early 20th-century blacksmith shop.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>According to the Cook County Historical Society, the shop "has chronicled Cook County’s economic history since the early 1900s - progressing from horse-drawn lumber camp equipment to motorized commercial fishing rigs to tourist automobiles and snowmobiles."</p><br>
<p>Founder Sam Bally relocated from Bayfield, Wisconsin, where he owned an earlier blacksmith shop, to Grand Marais in 1903. He was first employed as a blacksmith with the Cook County Manufacturing Company, which established the first sawmill in the town. He went into business for himself in 1911, building the blacksmith shop on Broadway in its current location. He was an important member of the community, regarded as the unofficial "village president", and was Cook County commissioner in 1914. Sam died in 1922, and the shop was taken over by his son William, whose name is on the front of the building, and passed it on to his brother Albert when he moved to Lutsen to start a well-drilling business in 1929. Albert was a veteran of World War I and graduated at the top of his class from the Milwaukee School of Engineering. He was an electrical engineer in Chicago before moving home to take over the family business. Albert ran the shop for many years, working alongside his son William, who took over in 1946. Billy Bally was a Korean War veteran and attended the University of Minnesota Duluth and Dunwoody College of Technology. They kept up with changing technology thanks to Alberts skills as an electrical engineer and Bills as a trained machinist. The shop was in active use until the 1990s and closed in 2010 when the last Bally blacksmith, Bill Bally, died.</p><br>
<p>The metal Forest Service building behind the shop was added to the site in the 1960s after having been in service in Grand Portage until 1958. In 1973, the Cook County Historical Society planted three chestnut trees on the property, in honor of the Henry Wadsworth Longfellow poem "The Village Blacksmith."</p><br>
<p>The shop is now maintained by the Cook County Historical Society, which acquired the building in 2013. The society hosts blacksmithing demonstrations at the shop several times a year.</p><br>
<p>Chik Wauk Lodge, now Chik-Wauk Museum and Nature Center, is a historic building near the northern terminus of the Gunflint Trail northwest of Grand Marais, Minnesota, United States. It overlooks Saganaga Lake.</p><br>
<p>It was built in 1933. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2007, and was nominated for being "representative of the rustic, family-owned fishing resorts that flourished in the Boundary Waters region from the 1920s to the early &#39;60s."</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The lodge&#39;s NHRP summary describes it as a "rough-cut stone lodge building" which "was once the centerpiece of a large Gunflint Trail resort complex, which offered to tourists: lodging in rustic-style cabins, cooked meals as well as access to above-average fishing and northern Minnesota scenery." The building has not been significantly altered since its original construction in 1933.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<h3>Early history</h3><br>
<p>In the 1600s to 1800s, the area around what would become Chik Wauk was occupied by groups of migratory Native Americans who moved through the area seasonally to hunt, gather and fish. French and English voyageurs also made trading runs to and from Grand Portage.</p><br>
<p>The historic Gunflint Trail was first created in the 1870s, and was used by the logging and mining industries. It was developed significantly in response to the discovery of silver near Thunder Bay, Ontario, which raised hopes of finding gold and other precious metals in the area; none of these panned out. In the 1890s, iron ore was discovered, but the resultant mine was abandoned after better sources were discovered on the Mesabi Iron Range.</p><br>
<h3>Tourism in the 20th century</h3><br>
<p>The first tourist cabins were built on the Gunflint Trail in 1912. In 1929, in order to facilitate the construction of both Chik Wauk and the nearby Sea Gull Lodge, the Gunflint Trail was extended northwards by several miles to connect with Saganaga Lake.</p><br>
<p>By the time it was built in 1933, Chik Wauk was one of well over a dozen such resorts in the area. It was built by Edwin Nunstedt, a Swedish immigrant who owned building companies in Grand Marais and Two Harbors, Minnesota. The lodge served as a store, resort office, restaurant, and lounge area for resort guests. Nunstedt and his family ran the lodge until 1952. It was run as a resort until 1978, when the USA Forest Service bought out resorts in the region upon the formation of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness. The Forest Service took over the lodge fully in 2000.</p><br>
<h3>Museum and nature center</h3><br>
<p>Since 2010, Chik Wauk has been run as a museum and nature center, which includes historical displays and artifacts, and exhibitions about local pioneers. There are also five short hiking trails.</p><br>
<p>The Lightkeeper&#39;s House, also known as the Cook County History Museum, is a historic building in Grand Marais, Minnesota, United States.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978, and was nominated for being "a significant survivor of the settlement along Minnesota&#39;s north shore during the last decades of the nineteenth century. Furthermore, it is indicative of the dependence of communities such as Grand Marais on Lake Superior."</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>Constructed in 1896, the Lightkeeper&#39;s House is a well-preserved two-story frame residence of the kind called a "mechanics cottage". In his NHRP review, Charles Nelson called it "unimposing architecturally" and its ornamentation "undistinguished and sparse".</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Lightkeeper&#39;s House, which is located a block from the shoreline near the Grand Marais lighthouse, was built in 1896 by the federal government to house the lighthouse keeper and his family. The Grand Marais lighthouse is one of several which were established along the shoreline between Duluth and the Canadian border during the second half of the nineteenth century. The rugged location of the well-known Split Rock Lighthouse was chosen to mark dangerous reefs. The lighthouses in Two Harbors and Grand Marais, conversely, marked places of refuge. The first lighthouse in Grand Marais was built in 1884, but the current building dates to 1896.</p><br>
<p>After 1946, it was used as a home for the USA Coast Guard commander. It was acquired by the Cook County Historical Society in 1966. In 2006, the society built an addition for use as an archival storage facility.</p><br>
<p>The building now houses the Cook County History Museum, which holds more than 50,000 artifacts, photos and documents including the Fresnel lens from the Grand Marais Lighthouse, and features exhibits on local history including fishing and maritime shipping, military history, the settlement of Lake Superior region, and the Civilian Conservation Corps.

Prestwood as the first principal. The building is located on 276 E. Napa Street in Sonoma, California.</p><br>
<p>The last class graduated in 1948 because the building was found to be seismically unsound. In 1952, Dr. Carroll B. Andrews and his wife saved the building from demolition and setup the Sonoma Community Center with a board of volunteers. A special plaque was dedicated on September 21, 2002, by the Native Sons of the Golden West to the Sonoma Community Center and as the original home of the Sonoma Grammar School. The community center sponsors music and art classes.</p><br>

<p>Anaem Omot  is a five-square-mile area located on both sides of the Menominee River, along the Michigan and Wisconsin border. The land is sacred to the Menominee people.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The boundaries of the Anaem Omot extends 500 feet inland from the banks of the Menominee River, and runs from the Chalk Hills Dam to the Pike River. The area includes burial mounds located along the river, and large circles where the ancestor of the Menominee Nation performed dream dances introduced by the Ojibwe. It also includes the Sixty Islands area, which contains the remains of prehistoric fields used to cultivate corn.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Menominee tribal historians believe the area of Anaem Omot has been home to indigenous settlements for roughly 10,000 years. The area includes a tribal village on the Wisconsin side of the river that was occupied in the 17th through 19th centuries.</p><br>
<p>The designation of Anaem Omot as a historic property was controversial. In particular, a portion of the area overlaps with the proposed Back Forty Mine. This mine was first proposed, and permitting sought, by Aquila Resources in 2015. In 2021, Gold Resources Corporation purchased the mine.</p><br>
<p>The Port Oneida Rural Historic District is a historic district located along M-22 between Glen Arbor and Lake Leelanau in Leelanau County, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2017.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The first European residents of Port Oneida, Carsten and Elizabeth Burfiend, arrived in the area in 1852. By 1860, the population had grown to 87 people, many of whom had emigrated from Hanover and Prussia. In 1861, Thomas Kelderhouse arrived and made an agreement with Carsten Burfiend to construct a dock in exchange for the land to build it on. The dock was completed the next year, and logging began in the area. Kelderhouse also constructed a sawmill, and in the next 25 years the settlement grew, adding a blacksmith shop, a boarding house/hotel, and a general store/post office.</p><br>
<p>However, by the 1890s the forests had been depleted, and the residents of Port Oneida turned to agriculture to support them. By 1908, the dock and surrounding buildings had been abandoned, and the social center of Port Oneida shifted inland to the site of the Port Oneida School and the Evangelical Lutheran church. Residents of the area continued farming until World War II; after this many shifted to non-farm jobs for income. With the establishment of Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore in 1970, the National Park Service began acquiring much of the land and buildings in Port Oneida.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>Port Oneida Rural Historic District contains approximately 3,400 acre along Lake Michigan, within Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. The historic district has roughly 150 buildings, most of which are gathered in separate farmsteads throughout the district. Also included are the remnant of agricultural land-use: fields, orchards, fences, and woodlots.</p><br>
<p>The district also includes the one-room North Unity Schoolhouse, dating from the 1850s, and the 1860 Port Oneida Schoolhouse. Nearby are the Port Oneida cemetery and the former location of the Evangelical Lutheran Church and the Kelderhouse sawmill. The remains of the dock are still in the water.</p><br>
<p>The Mason County Courthouse is a courthouse located at 300 East Ludington Avenue in Ludington, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The first courthouse in Mason County was located in the two-story home of Burr Caswell, who turned over the home to the county in 1856. In 1861 the courthouse was moved to a store building located in the now-vanished village of Little Sauble in the north of the county. In 1873 the county seat was moved to the more centrally located village of Ludington, and a single-story county office building was built. Although this building was enlarged, it was quickly outgrown, and in 1892 voters approved the construction of a new courthouse.</p><br>
<p>The courthouse square was acquired in 1893, and the county hired Grand Rapids architect Sidney J. Osgood to design a new courthouse. Construction began later that year and was completed in September 1894.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Mason County Courthouse is a square, Richardsonian Romanesque building constructed of dark red brick and reddish brown sandstone. The raised basement story is finished with rock-faced sandstone, and two upper floors are finished with brick, with a beltcourse, window sills, lintels, and other trim of the same sandstone. The building is topped with a combination hip and gable roof. In the center is a pyramid-roof clock tower.</p><br>
<p>The Mount Airy Mansion is a historic building near Upper Marlboro in Prince George&#39;s County, Maryland. Expanded c. 1751 on the site of the 17th century hunting lodge of Charles Calvert, 3rd Baron Baltimore by his great-grandson Benedict Swingate Calvert, the mansion today is managed by the Maryland Department of Natural Resources within the Rosaryville State Park.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In 1774, Benedict Calvert&#39;s daughter Eleanor Calvert (1758–1811), married John Parke Custis, son of Martha Washington and the stepson of George Washington, who attended their wedding celebrations at Mount Airy Mansion.</p><br>
<p>After leaving the Calvert family in 1902, the house was ultimately restored by the notable newspaper editor, owner, and publisher Cissy Patterson who bought what had been termed "Dower House" from the Duvall family in 1931 shortly after a fire.</p><br>
<p>The property known as Estate Niesky was purchased in 1755 by the Moravian Church in Charlotte Amalie, during the era when America&#39;s original Thirteen Colonies were still part of the British Empire. The United States would not take possession of the islands until March 31, 1917, at which time Denmark sold the islands for the sum of $25,000,000 in United States gold coin.</p><br>
<p>The Moravian Church saw its 1755 acquisition of the estate as a way to supplement its mission at the New Herrnhut Moravian Church in what is now eastern Saint Thomas, USA Virgin Islands. The church had been established at Charlotte Amalie for decades when they decided to branch out. Moravian Church bishop Nicolaus Zinzendorf directed Augustus Gottlieb Spangenberg to establish missions in the Netherlands Caribbean colonies. Records discovered during the United States National Register of Historic Places listings assessment give evidence that the original plantation church building was constructed in 1771.</p><br>
<p>During this era, the Danish West India Company introduced the practice of using enslaved persons to work the sugar plantations. Estate Niesky also used Moravian slaves, but trained them as skilled artisans. Denmark&#39;s emancipation of the slaves occurred in 1848.</p><br>
<p>A new mission house was completed and occupied on July 17, 1829. The old 1771 church building was demolished and a new one consecrated in October 1858. Hurricanes destroyed the new church in both 1867 and 1871, and each time island residents rebuilt the church over its old foundation. The remains of stone walls dividing the site into planting plots are all that survive from the original 1771 plantation, which had been enlarged from the 1755 property. Due to extensive damage during multiple hurricane seasons, the mission had to be rebuilt several times.</p><br>
<p>Today, the complex consists of a manse, church, slave quarters, a small cemetery and other outbuildings. The manse, now used as a school and offices, was largely rebuilt after a fire in 1971; still, much of the original 1828 structure&#39;s exterior remains."</p><br>
