<p>The Ordeman–Shaw Historic District is a historic district in Montgomery, Alabama. It is centered on the Ordeman–Shaw House, which construction started on as early as 1846 and was completed in 1850 by Charles Ordeman, a German immigrant architect. Ordeman was appointed city surveyor, and built a number of buildings in Montgomery, including the county courthouse. He used his profits to install gas lighting throughout the city, but overextended himself on the venture and left town by 1854.</p><br>
<p>The house is a two-story townhouse with a partially raised basement in Italianate style. Ordeman built a number of outbuildings, including a laundry-outhouse-storage building and a two-story slave quarters. The DeWolfe-Cooper Cottage (which was moved to its present site from near the Patrick Henry Brittan House three blocks away) was built in the early 1850s by Thomas DeWolfe, then-owner of the Montgomery Advertiser.</p><br>
<p>Much of the district was restored in the early 1970s, and is a part of Old Alabama Town, a museum showcasing city life in the 1850s. Many of the structures at Old Alabama Town were moved from other locations. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1971.</p><br>

<p>Site Number 4 Mnt 85, is the remains of a prehistoric village site in Greenfield, California USA</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In 1979, Sally Ann Dean reported on the physical and chemical analysis of sediments found at prehistoric site number 4 Mnt-85 in Greenfield, California.</p><br>
<p>CA-MNT-85 has had four archaeological excavations that have occurred in a rock shelter, located on property owned by the United States Forest Service within the mid-Arroyo Seco Valley area. The initial excavation took place around 1929 led by W. W. Hill and a team of researchers from University of California, Berkeley. In 1957, Gary Vescelius, a U.C. Berkeley student, carried out the second excavation, uncovering both perishable and nonperishable items. The artifacts from these two excavations are currently housed at the Phoebe Hearst Museum at the University of California. Between 1974 and 1976, Benjamin Ananian led the third excavation. Although the materials from this dig were initially stored at California State University, Hayward, they appear to have been misplaced. Despite the absence of an archaeological report, a comprehensive soils analysis for the site is accessible. After the 1974 excavations, this site received a nomination for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places and has since been listed. The midden and rock paintings played roles as contributing elements to the nomination. In May of 1999, an excavation at this site was undertaken by the USA Forest Service, and the findings of their research have been outlined in a preliminary report (Flenniken and Trautman 2001). Recent acquisition of fiber, cordage materials, wood, flaked stone, shell beads, and feather artifacts from CA-MNT-85 has occurred, originating from a collection amassed by a pot-hunter.</p><br>
<p>Fragments of basketry have been discovered at the archaeological site CA-MNT-85, situated in the Arroyo Seco drainage. Some of these fragments were unearthed during the Hill excavation in the late 1920s and were detailed by anthropologist Arnold Pilling. During the spring of 2003, Joan Brandoff-Kerr, the Forest Archaeologist for the Los Padres National Forest, said that supplementary fiber, cordage materials, and various artifacts from CA-MNT-85 had been donated to the Forest Service.</p><br>
<p>The periods of significance are from 1000-999 BC, 1000-2999 BC, 3000-4999 BC, 5000-6999 BC, 7000-8999 BC, 9000-10999 BC, 1000-500 AD, 1499-1000 AD, and 1749-1500 AD.</p><br>

<p>The Rhoades Ranch is a historic ranch, located near Morgan Hill, California. The 12 acre ranch is linked to Harold E. Thomas, an important figure in California&#39;s strawberry industry, and encompasses the Rhoades House, a Spanish Colonial Revival architecture residence built in 1917-1920, for William G. Rhoades and designed by architects Howard W. Higbie and Andrew P. Hill Jr. The Rhoades Ranch was officially recognized and listed on the National Register of Historic Places on April 17, 2013.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Rhoades Ranch is close to the Anderson Reservoir formed by damming of Coyote Creek in southern Santa Clara County, California. The 12 acre parcel occupies the northeast corner of what was formerly a 160 acre ranch, established in the 1860s during the subdivision of the Mexican era Rancho Laguna Seca. Today, much of the original ranchland is recognized as Borello Farms, a 123 acre operational ranch located to the south and west. Perched atop a rise adjacent to Coyote Creek, the site has views of the orchards belonging to Borello Farms.</p><br>
<p>William G. Rhoades purchased the Rhoades Ranch with his father, Ira Rhoades, in 1911, that was part of the old Laguna Seca grant. In 1917, Ira Rhoades started the construction of the residence on a knoll with a view of the orchards. By 1920, Rhoades completed the house and had bought out his father&#39;s share in the property. He then implemented a pumping system to draw water from Coyote Creek to supply water for his orchards. Rhoades Married Katherine Garnett and together had two boys, William G. Jr., and David Garnett Rhoades.</p><br>
<p>In 1924, the Rhoades Ranch had 55 acre of nine and ten-year old prune trees, which produced only 26 tonnes (26,000 kg) of fruit, but the production increased to over 220 tonnes (220,000 kg) after spraying.</p><br>
<p>In 1945, the widow of Rhoades sold approximately 14.31 acre to Dr. Harold E. Thomas of the Strawberry Institute of Santa Clara Valley. The larger 145 acre was sold to Sebastian and Luigia Borello, now recognized as Borello Farms.</p><br>
<p>The Ranch shares the site with several other structures that include the Phegley House and garage, a horse barn, an agricultural equipment building, office/board-and-batten house and garage, and remnants of a water tank. The Phegley house, a two-story National Folk house, stands as the earliest known structure on the site. Built in the early 1860s during the initial American settlement phase of Santa Clara County, it is a two-story single-wall house. Single-wall houses were among the earliest building types in California during the American era, utilizing large redwood lumber planks for rapid construction. This construction method was prevalent from the mid-1850s to the late 1860s, predating the railroad era in California.</p><br>
<p>This horse barn, situated uphill from the residences near Coyote Road, is of moderate size and likely built during the same decade as the Phegley House. It has a rectangular shape and stands at one-and-one-half stories tall, featuring front and rear gables. The upper level houses a hay storage area accessible from both front and rear hay-doors located above sliding doors at both ends. To the southwest of the barn stands the remnants of a former large water tower. This structure likely took place during the nineteenth century. The original siding and tank have since been removed.</p><br>
<h2>Design</h2><br>
<p>The Rhoades House was designed by architects Howard W. Higbie and Andrew P. Hill Jr. Howard Wetmore Higbie moved from New York to San Jose in 1912. Andrew P. Hill, Jr., was the son of Andrew P. Hill, the photographer and California landscape artist. After World War I, Hill collaborated on several projects with Higbie.</p><br>
<p>Construction of the Rhoades House started in 1917, and the project reached completion in 1920. The house is an example of Spanish Colonial Revival architecture with a detached garage. The house has a square footprint, with one narrow wing extending northward from the front of the house. While primarily one-story, there&#39;s a two-story L-shaped section rising from the southwest corner, extending across the front of the square footprint. The second floor is sheltered beneath a gently sloped roof, with Spanish roof tiles and extending over large, sweeping eaves. The detached garage shares the same architectural style as the house. It features a Spanish tile mansard and includes matching multi-light windows.</p><br>

<p>The Fairglen Additions is an example of Mid-century modern-style tract housing located in San Jose, California, US. Comprising 218 single-family houses within the Willow Glen neighborhood of San Jose, this district was built between 1959 and 1961. The additions were developed by real estate developer Joseph Eichler and designed by architectural firms Anshen & Allen, Jones Emmons & Associates, and Claude Oakland Architect & Associates. Thirteen distinct home plans were executed on approximately 6,000 ft&sup2; lots. These residences feature open floor plans that accentuate privacy and the seamless transition between indoor and outdoor living, characteristic of Eichler homes and subdivisions. The Fairglen Additions was officially recognized and listed on the National Register of Historic Places on June 6, 2019.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Fairglen Additions neighborhood forms the core and most expansive segment of Joseph Eichler&#39;s Fairglen project in Willow Glen. Between 1950 and 1974, he constructed more than 11,000 residences in California recognized as "Eichlers".</p><br>
<p>Comprising 218 residences, the Fairglen Additions were built between 1959 and 1961 across three parcels of land. The initial design of site plans and residences was undertaken by architectural firms Anshen and Allen from San Francisco, and Jones and Emmons & Associates from Los Angeles. Completion of the project was handled by Claude Oakland Architect & Associates, based in San Francisco. Situated within a 1952 urban expansion zone southwest of San Joses early Willow Glen neighborhood, the subdivision features single-family homes on separate lots, forming a cohesive community. These detached, one-story residences typically have flat or gently pitched gable roofs. Emphasizing privacy, they have open floor plans and modest facades, often integrating garages facing the street. Their construction employs a mix of post-and-beam framing, extensive glazing including clerestory windows, and concrete slab foundations with radiant heating—hallmarks of Joseph Eichlers Mid-century Modern designs. Despite occasional individual modifications such as altered rooflines or added second stories over time, the neighborhood retains significant architectural elements indicative of postwar housing developments.</p><br>
<p>The Fairglen Additions are situated along various streets, encompassing Booksin, Fairwood, Fairlawn, Fairorchard, and Fairorchard Avenues, Fairhill Lane, Fairdell and Fairglen Drives, Andalusia Way, Fairvalley, Fairoak, and Fairgrove Courts. The additions were on ranch property formerly occupied by fruit orchards. The development extended over more than five blocks and was organized in a southwestward layout. Referred to collectively as The Fairglen Additions, consisting of Unit 1, Unit 2, and Unit 3. Unit 1, comprising 73 lots, commenced construction from the southwestern intersection of Curtner and Booksin Avenues, following a grid pattern with cul-de-sacs interspersed throughout. Unit 2, with 61 lots, extended the grid pattern from the western edge of Fairglen Avenue, gradually transitioning into a grid layout along the southern stretch of Fairlawn Avenue. Lastly, Unit 3, featuring 84 lots, progressed from the northern side of Fair Orchard Avenue, concluding with a winding grid pattern along the southern side of Andalusia Way.</p><br>
<h2>Design</h2><br>
<p>The residences have expansive 50 ft-wide open floor plans, designed to enhance privacy and seamlessly blend indoor and outdoor living spaces. Their modest facades typically incorporate integrated fencing and garages facing the street. Six different floor plan layouts generally fall into two categories: L-shaped plans featuring a front courtyard nestled between the garage and the living/dining area, or square plans with an atrium situated between the garage and the bedroom wing.</p><br>
<p>The initial interior materials and finishes were chosen with a focus on simplicity, ease of upkeep, longevity, accessibility, and affordability. The ceiling is formed by the stained underside of 2 in by 8 in tongue-and-groove redwood roof decking. Interior walls have deep-toned Philippine mahogany veneer paneling. Flooring consists of 12 in asphalt tiles covering concrete slab on-grade foundations with radiant heating. A notable feature in many models is the built-in breakfast bar, designed to swing into the multipurpose room and extend out into a spacious dining table.</p><br>
<p>The homes have integrated landscaping elements such as divided-concrete driveways, pathways, organic-shaped courtyard patios, and terraces set back from the floor-to-ceiling windows to accommodate landscaping.

The oldest house in Frederick County, it is an unusual example of Dutch-influenced construction practices, more typically found in the Hudson Valley. It is the only known example of mixed Dutch, English and American framing and construction methods in Maryland.</p><br>
<h2>Significance</h2><br>
<p>The Beatty-Cramer House is the oldest surviving house in Frederick County, and the only example of a house built using Dutch colonial construction practices in Maryland. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on August 20, 2021.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The house was built in the mid-18th century, probably for Thomas Beatty and Maria Jansen Beatty, using Dutch timber framing techniques. The timber used was felled sometime from 1746 to 1748, suggesting that the frame was built in 1748. Partition framing appears to have been felled in 1752-53. The house remained in the Beatty family until 1796, when it was sold to Sebastian Graff, together with 1,004 acre of surrounding land. The property was described on maps as a farm or plantation. Census data suggests that the household had four white males, five white females, and 15 slaves. In 1829 the property was sold to John P. Thomson or Thompson (most likely Thompson). In 1848 the property was sold to John Myers for $8,800. Myers sold the property in 1855 to Jeremiah Henry Cramer for $12,901, comprising the house and 191 acre. During the Cramer tenure, the roof was rebuilt, new siding was added, and the previously offset floor levels were equalized.</p><br>
<p>The Cramer family sold the farm in 1918 to Charles Harshman for $9,114, who in turn sold it the same year to Ida and Vernon Sanner. The Sanner family retained ownership until 1986. By the mid-1980s farming had been discontinued. The Blake Construction Company purchased the property, and considered the house for demolition. In 1987, Joseph Lubozynski investigated the house and established that it was older than it appeared to be. He determined that the visible exterior was a shell over an 18th-century frame, and found evidence of Dutch construction techniques. On learning of the house&#39;s historic value, the owner offered to donate the house and a portion of the surrounding land.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Beatty-Cramer House&#39;s construction used traditional Dutch construction techniques more commonly found in the Hudson Valley of New York were used, employing transverse "H-bent" framing. The frames are infilled with brick nogging or clay daubing over horizontal planking, with plaster finishes. The original interior arrangement included an offset floor level, or "opkamer," typical of Dutch colonial practice. The house is two stories high, 58 ft by 22 ft, with seven bays on the lower level, and six above. It was built and expanded in three phases. The original house is the timber H-bent-framed house. A log section was added in 1855, and the north side was encased in a frame overlay at a later date. There were two rooms in the original house on the ground floor, vertically offset from each other by 32 in. The lower room was raised to match the upper room when the addition was built.</p><br>
<p>The final house arrangement consists of three rooms. The two original rooms are the east and center rooms, with chimneys at either end. The log addition is to the west, with an expanded chimney between it and the now-center room. All three rooms have doors and porches on the south side exterior, and the west room has a back door leading to a porch. There are stairs to the upper level in the west and center rooms. The upper rooms follow the pattern of the rooms below, with the western section subdivided into three rooms. The roof structure was rebuilt in the 19th century.</p><br>
<p>Outside, the ground falls away to the west toward Israel&#39;s Creek, so that the west end of the house is elevated, creating cellar space beneath. The house is clad with asbestos shingles over older wood clapboards, and has a metal roof.</p><br>
<p>The property also includes a two-story springhouse, built circa 1762, with a Dutch-style fireplace on the lower level and a finished room above. A stone and log smokehouse is also on the property.</p><br>
<p>Fort Pemberton is a historic artillery battery located at Leflore County, Greenwood, Mississippi. It was built in early 1863 during the Vicksburg Campaign of American Civil War. The fort was located on the route of the Yazoo Pass, near the confluence of the Tallahatchie and Yalobusha Rivers . Fort Pemberton was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on June 19, 1973.</p><br>
<h2>Background</h2><br>
<p>In the winter of 1862–1863, Major General Ulysses S. Grant commanding the Army of the Tennessee conducted a series of operations to approach and capture the fortified city of Vicksburg, Mississippi, known as "The Gibraltar of the Confederacy". Since the citys fortifications on bluffs overlooking the Mississippi River were formidable, Grant tried other alternatives that wouldnt require a direct approach under the Confederate guns.</p><br>
<p>In the opening engagement of the Vicksburg Campaign, an advance on Vicksburg from the north by troops under the command of Union Maj. Gen. William T. Sherman was repulsed by Confederate forces under Lt. Gen. John C. Pemberton at the December 26–29, 1862 Battle of Chickasaw Bayou. There the Union troops also encountered formidable bluff top fortifications. Following this setback, Grant tried several waterborne alternatives. Termed "Grants bayou operations", the idea was to find or construct alternative water routes so that troops could be brought within striking distance of Vicksburg. One of these operations was the Yazoo Pass expedition, a joint operation with Rear Admiral David D. Porters Mississippi River Squadron.</p><br>
<p>The Yazoo Pass was an old water route from Memphis to Yazoo City, which had been closed off by Mississippi River levee construction in 1856 that sealed the Pass. Winding through a series of backwaters of the Mississippi Delta, the Pass had run from the Mississippi River into Moon Lake, to the Coldwater River, then to the Tallahatchie River, and finally into the Yazoo River at Greenwood, Mississippi. From there the Yazoo River continued south to Yazoo City and Vicksburg. Once on the Yazoo north of the defenses of Vicksburg, the Navy could disrupt Confederate shipping at Yazoo City, and the Army would be able to cross the river with scant opposition and secure a bridgehead and supply line.</p><br>
<h2>Fort Pemberton</h2><br>
<p>The Union force began moving through the Yazoo Pass on February 7. But lack of urgency by the Union Navy, coupled with low-hanging tree branches and trees felled by Confederates impeded their progress, allowing the Confederates time to prepare defenses. Pemberton had given orders to Major General William W. Loring to stop the Union advance. At Greenwood, Mississippi there existed a narrow neck of land bordered by the Tallahatchie and the Yazoo Rivers. There, Loring&#39;s men hastily built fortifications at an approximate 45-degree angle from northeast to southwest, made of cotton bales and logs covered by layers of dirt, with parapets ten feet high. There they mounted a pair of heavy guns and named the earthworks "Fort Pemberton". The Confederate troops at the fort repulsed the attempts by the Union force on March 11, March 14, March 16, and March 23, halting the Union advance, and ending the Yazoo pass expedition.</p><br>
<h2>Today</h2><br>
<p>Fort Pemberton is now part of Fort Pemberton Memorial Park, in Greenwood, Mississippi.</p><br>

<p>The Spillman Engineering 3-Abreast Carousel was a carousel built in 1920 by the Allan Herschell Company. The carousel was in the Eastridge shopping Center, San Jose, California. It featured 30 hand-carved jumping wooden horses and two hand-carved chariots which serve as benches. The carousel was one of only four large carousels made by the Allan Herschell Company between 1915 and 1927. The carousel was officially recognized and listed on the National Register of Historic Places on April 13, 2000.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In 1901, Allen Herschell created the Herschell Spillman Company with his in-laws, the Spillmans. The Herschell Spillman Company was later sold to Allen Herschell Company, Inc. The company later dropped Herschell&#39;s name and was known as the Spillman Engineering Company. The Spillman Engineering Carousel was built in 1920 by the Spillman Engineering Company from North Tonawanda, New York. It was restored and installed at the Eastridge Shopping Center in San Jose in 1993.</p><br>
<p>The carousel was utilized on the traveling fairgrounds along the eastern coast before being acquired by Whales Tail Amusement Park in New Hampshire around 1945. Specific dates of acquisition and utilization are uncertain, as records were not maintained for this carousel. In 1989, the last proprietors acquired the carousel from Whales Tail following the closure of the park.</p><br>
<h2>Design</h2><br>
<p>The Spillman Engineering Carousel was in the Country Fair style, with a platform diameter of 36 ft, and a wooden center pole 17 ft high. The original flooring consisted of planks with spaces between them. Because shoes could get caught in these gaps, the original floor was substituted in 1992 with a solid wood platform. The original floor was moved to the International Museum of Carousel Art&#39;s warehouse in Hood River, Oregon.</p><br>
<p>The carousel comprised 12 sections called sweeps, which extend outward from the center pole to support the platform, 30 all-jumping hand-carved wooden horses, a pair of chariots benches, and 12 wooden curved decorative rounding boards placed side-by-side and form a complete circle around the top of the carousel. The twelve rounding boards are characteristic of a typical Spillman Engineering carousel. The rounding boards have wooden scroll-carved shields, each featuring oval mirrors. The center scenery panels on the carousel had oil paintings that have been restored and remain authentic. Typical features of this carousel include wooden platforms, adorned wooden rounding boards, hand-carved wooden animals.</p><br>
<p>The carousel operated using an electric motor powering its drive mechanism, along with a hydraulic fluid clutch connected to a gearbox chain drive, rotating the gears under the sweeps. The horses&#39; up-and-down action was facilitated by a method involving an overhead crank, where the upward movement was determined by the height of the U-shaped crank from which it hangs. Previously, the carousel worked with an electric motor controlled from within. In 1992, this motor was replaced with an electric 3.5 horsepower motor, which was operated from outside the carousel via a push-button method in compliance with California safety regulations. Recorded band organ music was played through the center facade while the carousel was in motion. The central pole, sweeps, sweeps, and panels of the carousel were made of wood and remain original to this carousel.</p><br>
<p>The carousel had 30 all-jumping style horses meticulously carved from basswood, each boasting glass eyes, colored glass jewel embellishments, cast metal horseshoes, and intricately carved wooden tails. These horses displayed proportionately carved bodies with gentle-looking faces, characteristic of Spillman&#39;s renowned horse carvings. All horses were authentic to the carousel and underwent restoration in 1992. The chariot benches were authentic to the carousel and underwent restoration in 1992.</p><br>
<h2>Historical status</h2><br>
<p>The Spillman Engineering Carousel was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on April 13, 2000.</p><br>
<p>The Spillman Carousel is historically significant as a well-preserved instance of a recreational genre, exhibiting the evolution of animal carving as a "utilitarian" artistic practice, where carvers competed to produce the most innovative and vibrant attractions. Additionally, it was originally constructed as a compact, easily transportable carousel, intended to be relocated from one place to another. This American-made carousel was crafted during the latter part of the golden era of carousels (1835-1935), and the pinnacle of amusement park popularity.</p><br>

The laundry underwent expansion in 1922-23, overseen by carpenter, Mike Solimine. Southgate remarried in 1922. He had two sons from his first wife. Following Stinerson&#39;s death in 1936, Southgate died in 1939. In 1946, ownership passed to the Dalesandro family. Eva and Frank Dalesandro managed the laundry until 1966 when Norman Little acquired it in an estate sale. He operated the busienss until its sale to Robert E. Fazo in 1979.</p><br>
<p>The Troy Steam Laundry competed with several other laundries in San Jose, such as the Red Star, Temple, Consolidated, Diamond, Individual, and R&W Wet Wash. Its clientele included prominent establishments in San Jose, such as the Hotel Montgomery, Vendom Hotel, Costa Hotel, San Jose State University, numerous restaurants, and sporting houses. Laundry services were provided to distant locations, including the Lick Observatory, New Almaden Mines, Watsonville, Gilroy, and Stanford University. Initially, laundry was transported by horse-drawn wagons, and later by locally designed trucks from the Southern Pacific Depot in San Jose.</p><br>
<p>By 1995 the Troy Laundry had been demolished and replaced by Troy Apartments.</p><br>
<h2>Design</h2><br>
<p>The Troy Laundry exemplified late 19th century Western false front architecture, featuring one and two-story wood frame construction spanning an area of 11,000 ft&sup2;. Additions were made in 1922-23, including the replacement of the boiler. The exterior had horizontal wood siding with a gabled roof covered in wood shingles. Windows were double hung with one fixed window in the clerestory to provide light. The false front rose in steps to obscure the gabled roofline and accommodate signage. A one-story section extended to the rear, accommodating the boiler and other facilities.</p><br>
<p>Post and beam construction was utilized in the laundry work area to create a spacious, open layout like what is commonly seen in today&#39;s industrial and manufacturing buildings. A skylight was installed to offer natural light to the steam engine, situated east of the clerestory space. Adjacent to the steam engine, the boiler was positioned and partitioned by a pair of brick walls. This double brick wall extended around the boiler, creating a distinct boiler room.</p><br>
<h2>Historical status</h2><br>
<p>The Troy Laundry was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on January 28, 1982. The Troy Laundry holds historical significance as a landmark commercial establishment, operating in San Jose from 1896 to 1979, and representing a 19th-century false-front wooden industrial architecture.</p><br>
