<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The congregation was founded in 1923. The church initially separated from Swedish Evangelical Lutheran Church in Saint Paul due to a desire to have more English language services. The architects, Lang and Raugland, specialized in the Gothic Revival style and designed both the 1930 church and the 1953 school building. A parking lot was constructed behind the church in the 1950s in place of several homes. A food shelf run by the church has operated since the 1980s.</p><br>
<p>By the 2020s, the church had over a million dollars in deferred maintenance and limited funds to do repairs. The church decided to sell the building to a non-profit housing developer in 2021 in a unanimous vote. The total cost to renovate the existing buildings and construct a new apartment building on the former parking lot was $23.5 million. The church space is used as a community area for residents during the week while the church rents the space to use for worship on Sundays. 20 units are located in the new building and 21 units are located in the historic school building. Every unit is considered deeply affordable which means the units are affordable for those making 30% of the area median income, about $33,000 for a family of three. The units are a mix of 1, 2, 3 and 4 bedrooms. Every unit was leased within two weeks of the completion of construction.</p><br>

<p>The Thomas Jefferson School is a historic elementary school building located in Sacramento, California designed in the Tudor Revival style. Designed by Sacramento School District&#39;s Architectural and Engineering Commission Chairman E.C. Hemmings and James S. Dean of local architecture firm Dean & Dean, and built by Robert Trost.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The original Jefferson School building, constructed in 1870, was the oldest in Sacramento, before it was expanded as part of a school building program planned in the 1920s. The original building was considered too small and did not have enough windows to allow for sufficient sunlight.</p><br>
<p>In 1919, Superintendent of Schools Charles C. Hughes proposed a bond to fund a district-wide program of school construction, seeking to build three new schools including a high school. It also looked to add to two schools and abandon and rebuild seven existing schools, including Jefferson School, on new sites. Many of the old school buildings were too small for the growing population and wood-framed, which was vulnerable to fire. The $2,304,000 was passed by Sacramento voters in October 1919.</p><br>
<p>In November 1919, local architects appealed to the Board of Education to appoint an architectural commission that would design the school bond projects and be paid 6% of project costs. The directors were hesitant and wanted to reuse existing school plans, but architect E. C. Hemmings insisted the buildings be unique and that it would save on costs. In April 1920, the board appointed an Architectural and Engineering Commission consisting of architects Hemmings and Jens Peterson with structural engineer George Hudnutt, for a 4.5% commission. Hemmings was chairman of the commission and responsible for the plans and designs of the projects.</p><br>
<p>Although the original plans looked to abandon the original building, the District was able to acquire the remainder of the south half of the sites block for $33,000. That spring, the contract for Hemmings-Peterson-Hudnutt was transferred to newly formed Dean and Dean. The school architecture program carried on smoothly, as James S. Dean had been working on the Jefferson School design since the commissions inception.</p><br>
<p>Jefferson School became a distribution center for sugar rations during WWII. The building was converted to administrative offices in 1949, where it was used until 2009 when it was converted to storage. $270,000 was budgeted and plans included construction of a school supply warehouse. Charles Dean was architect, with Harry Devine as supervising architect. The original building had its interior almost completely gutted and renovated. Additionally, a two-story addition was built at the rear (north) of the building, along with a one-story east wing. The 1948–1949 school year was the last time students attended school at the site.</p><br>
<p>In 2022, plans were proposed to restore and turn the building into modern housing.</p><br>
<p>The Maydestone Apartments located in Sacramento, California is a historic four-story, 32-unit apartment building designed in the Mission Revival architectural style and built in 1910.

<p>Mohr and Yoerk Market is a historic apartment building located in Sacramento, California constructed in 1911 in the Prairie School style. It is a 4 and a half story building with ground floor retail and apartments above.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The original market building was designed by E.C. Hemmings. In 1912, the market decided to remodel the north half of the lot and constructed the 4 and half story building with apartments. This work was designed by architects Seadler and Hoen. The two buildings had differing designs, but remained the same height. The market closed in 1931 and the building was remodeled by former State Architect George Sellon, a prolific Sacramento architect, which shortened the 1912 remodeled building to 2 and half stories. He also successfully utilized Streamline Moderne motifs to unify the two buildings into an attractive combined image.</p><br>
<p>In 1933, the womens clothing store Bon Marche housed the ground floor. Ransohoffs department store purchased the building in 1956 and operated there until 1990. It has since been used as a supper club, a brewery, and an art gallery. In 2003, the apartments were renovated to accommodate office space.</p><br>

A large, two-story curved portico was added. In the 1940s, it was used as a school, and known as the Croydon Hall Academy.</p><br>
<p>Thiebaud Farmstead is a historic farmstead located outside of Vevay, Indiana.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Frederick and Harriet Thiebaud emigrated from Switzerland with their family, including eight children, in 1817 and became a part of the first group to settle in Switzerland County. Once there, they began cultivating vineyards. They were a part of the local community that established a successful vineyard and winery, producing up to 12,000 gallons per year.</p><br>
<p>Justi Thiebaud, the youngest son of Frederick and Harriet, took over the farmstead by 1847.</p><br>
<p>Around the 1850s, the Thiebaud farm were noted participants of the hay production in the area. Around the same time the house was being constructed, the Thiebauds also built a hay barn. That hay barn housed a hay press that was likely a model that would later become knows as the "Mormon Press," one of the most successful hay press styles of the era. The hay press was patented in 1843 by Samuel Hewitt, a local of Switzerland County. Powered by horses or mules, the three-story machine used a pulley system to turn a large iron screw and drop a wooden block into a hay filled box, resulting in large compressed hay bales. The hay press device saved valuable space in shipping and allowed for twice as much hay to be loaded for transport.</p><br>
<p>The counties bordering the Ohio River prospered from the 1840s to the 1870s thanks to a system of cultivating, pressing, and exporting hay, specifically Timothy hay, via waterways to satisfy the increasing needs of urban horse populations. The Thiebaud family was just one of many that took part in hay production and the Thiebaud farm was likely the site of a river landing that facilitated the loading and shipping of the 300 to 400 pound hay bales created in the farm&#39;s hay press. The hay press saw production peak around the 1870s. The Thiebaud farmstead was estimated to have produced six tons of hay in 1850, 39 tons in 1860, and 80 tons in 1870.</p><br>
<p>At one time, there were over 200 hay press machines in Switzerland County, now there are only four remaining.</p><br>
<h2>Historic site and museum</h2><br>
<p>In the early 2000s, the project to turn the farmstead into a living history and agriculture museum began. In 2004, the Thiebaud Farmstead was listed in the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>This historic site is cared for and operated by the Switzerland County Historical Society. At the time that the Historical Society took proprietorship, many of the original buildings remained, however, the hay press was gone. In 2016, as part of a push to showcase local technology, they completed the reconstruction of the hay press in the original barn situated on the property with the help of carpenters and volunteers. The reconstruction was done by acquiring another barn with an intact hay press from another property nearby and relocating them to the Thiebaud farmstead.</p><br>
<p>In 2022, the Indiana Historical Bureau, Switzerland County Historical Society, and Switzerland County Tourism office erected a state historic marker commemorating the history of Swiss immigrants in the area and the contributions of the Thiebaud family in the 19th-century.</p><br>

<p>In November 2021, the building became home to the SMUD Museum of Science and Curiosity (MOSAC) as part of a $40.8 million redevelopment project.</p><br>
<p>Oak Ridge Cemetery is a historic cemetery located at 818 Terre Coupe Road in Buchanan, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2024.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Buchanan was first platted in 1842, and a one-acre site was set aside for use as a burial ground. By 1862, concerns over the long-term adequacy of the cemetery had grown, and a committee was formed to recommend a longer-term solution. In 1864, the village purchased this ten-acre site to use for future burials. In 1866, Rufus Rose surveyed and laid out the landscaping the property, and in 1867 Lewis Hahn cleared and finished the cemetery grounds. The first lot in the new cemetery was sold in 1868. Additionally, some remains from the older cemetery and elsewhere were moved to the new Oak Ridge cemetery. Burials in the older cemetery ceased in 1881, and the grounds were vacated and the remaining burials moved in 1894.</p><br>

<p>The Naval Air Station Richmond Headquarters Building is a National Register of Historic Places-listed building in Miami, Florida. Built in 1942 as part of a blimp facility used in naval defense, the base was closed in 1961 and used for intelligence operations and military reserve activities until the base was significantly damaged by Hurricane Andrew in 1992. Following the hurricane, all base buildings were demolished except for the headquarters building, which in 2010 was relocated within the base and in 2018 was reopened as the Miami-Dade Military Museum.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The two-story wooden building was originally the headquarters to the Richmond Naval Air Station, a blimp facility which focused on defending the southeast and Caribbean from German U Boat activities. The building was later used as a CIA headquarters for a covert operation. It was occupied by the Army Reserve and later the Marine Corps Reserve before being abandoned by the government. Anthony Atwood procured it from the federal government for $1 with the condition that he move it off federal property.</p><br>
<p>In 2019, Atwood was almost out of resources to keep the museum open. By 2022 Miami-Dade County stepped in to support the museum as a learning institution and to support ROTC activities. In April 2024, the museum gained approval to erect a historical marker in Chapman Field.</p><br>
<p>The Mount Vernon Site, also known as the GE Mound, is a Hopewell site near Mount Vernon in southwest Indiana. The site was discovered and mostly destroyed in 1988 during road construction at a General Electric plastic manufacturing facility. The mound was partially leveled, used for road fill, and subject to widespread looting shortly after its discovery, resulting in a contentious and precedent-setting prosecution under the Archeological Resources Protection Act. The depth and breadth of artifacts recovered from the site are some of the most significant of all Hopewell sites and even in its degraded condition it is one of the most significant Hopewell mounds yet discovered.</p><br>
<h2>Characteristics</h2><br>
<p>Before its destruction, the mound was loaf-shaped and measured 125 m long, 50 m wide, and 6 m, with evidence of potential structures or tombs within the body of the mound. This large size makes it one of the five largest known Hopewell mounds. The mound is located near the confluence of the Ohio and Wabash rivers near another large-scale Hopewell site, the Mann site. The mound was used as a ceremonial and burial site, most likely by the Mann phase of the Crab Orchard Culture.</p><br>
<p>A great number of artifacts were discovered inside the mound, with both the quantity and quality unmatched by few other Hopewell sites. The thousands of chert bifaces, dozens of quartz and obsidian blades, copper celts, silver ear spools, and bear teeth are common at Hopewell sites but have rarely been found in such numbers. Rarer artifacts include panpipes, carved coal ornaments and worked human and animal bones. Particularly notable are intact organic artifacts including fragments of cloth and decorated leather ornaments which have rarely survived due to their fragile organic nature.</p><br>
<p>Some of these artifacts traveled great distances, with the copper and silver originating in the Keweenaw Peninsula in northern Michigan and the obsidian coming all the way from Obsidian Cliff in Wyoming. Pearls produced in the area have been found at both Mount Vernon and Ohio Hopewell sites, potentially indicating trade connections between Mount Vernon and the wider prehistoric-United States.</p><br>
<h2>Discovery and looting</h2><br>
<p>Preliminary surveys prior to a 1988 highway extension project identified the feature as a natural hill to be used for road fill. During planned work between April and June 1988, artifacts were discovered as the mound was being leveled. After highway work had finished, local collectors were made aware of this and descended upon the site - looting thousands of artifacts from what was left of the mound without informing the landowner, General Electric, or state authorities as required by state law. Indiana Department of Highways archeologists learned of the site in October of that year after an anonymous tip, and began work to salvage what was left of the mound.</p><br>
<h2>Trial and controversy</h2><br>
<p>Media coverage brought public outrage and attention to the site. Multiple parties including General Electric, Federal and State government and Native American tribes had significant cause for outrage. In a then-novel case, the FBI began investigating and brought charges against five looters under the 1979 Archeological Resources Protection Act. As part of a plea deal, the looters returned any unsold artifacts and described the unaltered condition of the mound to archeologists. Fines and jail time were leveled on the looters, and the case helped to establish the legitimacy of federal protections on archeological sites. The trial exacerbated existing stresses between archeologists, native groups and amateur archeologists.</p><br>
<p>The artifacts were reburied in 1994 without proper scientific study at the insistence of out-of-state Native American groups. The marginalization of local Indian group wishes and the loss of rare and significant artifacts caused a second round of controversy.</p><br>
<p>Today the mound is mostly destroyed and the remnants lie on well protected private property - currently owned by SABIC.</p><br>

Page between 1867 and 1874 as part of a residential development called Montrose, intended to attract wealthy New York businessmen to rural South Orange. After 1891, a number of other streets were developed by Thomas A. Kingman (as Montrose Park), who insisted that lots measure no less than 100 by 200.</p><br>
<p>Within the historic district, there are 900 contributing buildings (mostly single family dwellings), 229 noncontributing buildings, and 1 contributing site. Of the key buildings, two, the Old Stone House and Mountain Station, are already listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

<p>The Ballard-Howe House is a historic residence located in the neighborhood of Queen Anne in Seattle, Washington. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on March 26, 1979. It was one of the first Colonial Revival-style homes built in the Seattle area that remains today.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Ballard-Howe House was commissioned by Martin D. Ballard (1832–1907), a Seattle businessman. The residence was designed by architects Emil De Neuf and August F. Heide, and built by general contractors Tomlinson and Windsor in 1900 and completed in 1901. The house is located on Queen Anne Hill with views of the city and Elliott Bay. It is one of the first New England Colonial Revival-style homes built in the Seattle area and the last that still stands today. Ballard lived in the house until he died in 1907.</p><br>
<p>The 60 ft by 55 ft three-story 9,148 ft&sup2; house sits on a brick foundation and occupies a 13,870 ft&sup2; lot. The exterior of the house is clad in cedar clapboard siding. The front of the house is mainly unchanged with a semicircular front porch within a two-story entrance Portico. The original house contained a front living room and parlor, a dining area and kitchen, a library, and four bedrooms on the second floor. The third floor contains what was called a "ballroom."</p><br>
<p>In 1911, Ballards wife sold the house to Judge George Donworth (1861–1947), a United States district judge of the United States District Court for the Western District of Washington. Donworth renovated the house, and later sold it to attorney James Blake Howe (1860–1930) in 1911. Due to the Great Depression, Howes widow sold the house in 1932 to I. J. Trahan for less than what they paid for it. Trahan converted the residence into five rental apartments, which were designed by architect Herman A. Moldenhour (1880–1976). Rooms on each of the floors were converted into apartment units, and the kitchen and entrance were changed.</p><br>
<p>The residence was then sold in 1937 to Dr. Richard Perry who added more apartment space on the east and west sides of the building. The additions were designed by Seattle architect Joseph Simon Cote (1874–1957), who designed other homes in the area. In 1950, Perry sold the residence to C. B. Williams who later sold it to James H. and Alvina J. LaRue in 1958. In 1965, LaRue&#39;s widow sold the house to Sheldon Austin and his wife, who renovated the building. In 1975, the residence was sold to the current owners the Steven Sarich-Lotto family.</p><br>
<h2>Historical significance</h2><br>
<p>On June 30, 1978, the city of Seattle Landmarks Preservation Board wrote a report on the Ballard-Howe House after a public hearing. They voted to approve designation of the residence as a Seattle Landmark based on its association with the cultural heritage of the community, as an example of Colonial Revival architecture, the work of architects Emil De Neuf and August F Heide, and its location in the Queen Anne neighborhood.</p><br>

<p>The Corbin Park Historic District is a 35-acre historic district in the Emerson/Garfield neighborhood of Spokane, Washington. The district has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places  since 1992, and is listed on the state and local historic registers as well. It is made up of 87 buildings, 81 of which are considered to be contributing properties to the historic district. It is notable as one of the oldest intact neighborhoods in the city.</p><br>
<p>Corbin Park sits at the center of the historic district as a four block long and well-forested park between Waverly Place to the south and Park Place to the north, two blocks west of Division Street. The bounds of the district extend one-half block from the park to the north and south and one block from the park to the east and west.</p><br>
<h2>Setting</h2><br>
<p>The Corbin Park Historic District is located in the Emerson/Garfield neighborhood of Spokane just over 1.5 miles north of Downtown Spokane. It spans six blocks east-to-west from Normandie Street to Post Street between the alley north of Park Place to the alley south of Waverly Place, a distance of two city blocks. Corbin Park sits at the center of the district, stretching roughly four blocks east-to-west from East Oval to West Oval and one block north-to south from Park Place to Waverly Place.</p><br>
<p>Located in a flat area of the north side of the city, Corbin Park is at 1,905 feet above sea level. The terrain rises dramatically a few blocks to the north towards the North Hill neighborhood, and more gently to the east towards Division Street, the city&#39;s major north–south arterial two blocks east of the district.</p><br>
<p>Situated in an area zoned single-family residential, the Corbin Park Historic District is made up of single-family homes surrounding Corbin Park. The park is four blocks long and one block wide. The 11.5 acre park, like the surrounding neighborhood, is heavily covered by a tree canopy. It is otherwise grass-covered with a baseball diamond, tennis courts, basketball court, and a playground.</p><br>

Of the 83 buildings in the district at the time it was listed on the NRHP in 1992, 78 were considered to be contributing properties to the historic nature of the district. The district is shaded by a thick canopy of elm, originally planted in a double-ring around the perimeter of the park, along with ponderosa pine and other conifers as well as ginkgo and many others.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>What is now the Corbin Park Historic District, like the rest of the city of Spokane and surrounding area, was inhabited by the Spokane people for centuries prior to contact with European settlers.</p><br>
<p>The Corbin Park Historic District as it exists today began in the late-1800s with the establishment and expansion of the city of Spokane, which was founded at the Spokane Falls approximately one-and-a-half miles south of Corbin Park and incorporated as a city in 1881. What would become the Corbin Park Historic District was subsequently annexed into the city of Spokane on April 22, 1891.</p><br>
<p>Development of the Corbin Park area began in the late-1880s. Its first use was as the site of the Washington-Idaho Fairgrounds which was organized in 1886. The property was purchased from prominent Spokane pioneer John J. Browne in 1887 — Browne lends his name to another historic district in the city in its Browne&#39;s Addition neighborhood. The area was developed into a fairgrounds and a horse racing track, with races documented as early as 1889. Stables, an exhibition hall and a grandstand were constructed alongside the one-mile racetrack. Its time as a fairground and racecourse was short-lived, however, as the events were discontinued in 1897. Two years later the city was presented with a plat for the area by railroad magnate and Spokane pioneer D.C. Corbin in the fall of 1899.</p><br>
<p>Construction of homes in the area began almost immediately, with most of the homes constructed between 1900 and 1918. 63 of the homes in the district were constructed prior to World War I. As areas closer to the city center such as the prominent and prestigious Browne&#39;s Addition, Ninth Avenue Historic District and Marycliff-Cliff Park Historic District began to fill up, Corbin Park was seen as a destination for residents with means who wanted to build sizable homes in the city. The infield area of the former racetrack became what is today Corbin Park, retaining its oval shape as a vestige of its previous use. The streets which border the park follow the former racetrack itself. Corbin gifted the land to the city in 1902 expressly to create a park on the property.</p><br>
<p>Many of the homes in the area were designed by prominent early Spokane architect W. W. Hyslop while the park itself was designed by the landscape firm of the Olmsted Brothers as part of their grand plan for the city&#39;s parks. By 1925 all but 10 of the homes in the district had been constructed, with a few more being built in the 1930s, 1940s and 1950s. In 1992, when the district was nominated to the NRHP, none of the homes in the district had been lost to fire or demolition, making it a strong example of a fully-intact early 1990s upper-middle class residential neighborhood in the Spokane area.</p><br>

<p>Sonoma Valley Womans Club is a historic womans clubhouse located in Sonoma, California. It was founded in 1901 by eleven local women led by Martha Stearns. Built in 1916, the club was designed by architect Brainerd Jones from Petaluma and plays a role in the civic development of Sonoma. The Woman&#39;s Club was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on January 7, 2015.</p><br>
<h2>Clubhouse history</h2><br>
<p>The Sonoma Valley Womans Club (SVWC) was founded on September 21, 1901, by eleven local women led by Martha Stearns. This coincided with the year when the General Federation of Womens Clubs was granted a charter by Congress.</p><br>
<p>Shortly after its formation, the Womans Club initiated the Plaza Fund to finance improvements to the Sonoma Plaza. They planted trees and paths and installed three benches in 1903. On March 25, 1904, the Santa Rosa Republican published an article about the project, stating that beautifying the Plaza would significantly enhance Sonomas attractiveness and help the Women&#39;s Club achieve its goals. In 1905, the club president Mrs. Robert P. Hill, sent out postcards featuring the stone foundation the club placed in the Plaza. In 1908, they erected a monument commemorating the Bear Flag Revolt. A larger Bear Flag Monument was installed by the Native Sons of the Golden West (NSGW) in 1914.</p><br>
<p>In 1903, SVWC took the initial steps to establish a free library for Sonoma. They raised funds to buy books and furnishings for the new building. By August 7, 1909, the Library was handed over to the city council for governance when it became the Sonoma Carnegie Library.</p><br>
<p>In 1903, the SVWC raised $184 to help preserve the Sonoma Mission as a city landmark. In 1910, Club members got a lease on the property and raised $800 for repairs. They were assisted by the Native Sons and Daughters of Sonoma. In 1911, club members petitioned the State Legislature, resulting in a appropriation of $5,000 to restore the Mission.</p><br>
<p>By 1914, fundraising efforts began to raise money for building a clubhouse. The chosen site was situated on a residential block at 574 1st Street East, Sonoma, California, within a block south of the Sonoma Plaza. In 1916, the Native Sons provided a loan for $2,500 ). Contractor W. E. Warriner was selected to build the clubhouse. The first meeting in the new clubhouse took place on September 15, 1916.</p><br>
<h2>Design</h2><br>
<p>The SVWC is a -and-one-half story wooden building with a cross-gabled roof. The building was designed in the American Craftsman-style by architect Brainerd Jones (1869-1945) of Petaluma in 1916. The building is on a 7,800 ft&sup2; lot. It includes a front porch supported by three concrete steps, topped by a gable roof with an exposed timber truss. Towards the front, there&#39;s a gable roof to the right and a shallow-pitched shed dormer above the porch roof on the left side.</p><br>
<p>Inside, the foyer opens with the parlor to the right, the Womens Lounge and stairs to the second level to the left with kitchen, and directly ahead is the entrance to a large auditorium and stage. All finishes are redwood wainscoting with vertical redwood boards and plaster walls and ceiling. The parlor contains a fireplace and wood mantel that can be used as a dining room. The Womens Lounge is 11.9 ft by 10.3 ft with a bathroom. The second story leads to a landing, office, bathroom, and an attic.</p><br>
<h2>Historical significance</h2><br>
<p>The SVWC is historically significant in social history, women&#39;s history, and architectural heritage. The 1916 American Craftsman-style building, created by architect Brainerd Jones of Petaluma, has been associated with the Club since its inception. The club has been integral to the urban development of Sonoma.</p><br>
<p>Adjacent to the front door, a bronze plaque details the clubs founding, the clubhouses development, and its dedication conducted by the NSGW. Another plaque explains the placement of the club&#39;s building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) on January 7, 2015.</p><br>
<p>Tabor School is a historic school building in Tabor, South Dakota, United States. It was built in 1873 and was converted into a house in 1883. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983 for its historical significance to Czech South Dakotans and to the local area.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The first settlers of Tabor, South Dakota, were Czech immigrants who arrived in 1869 and founded the town in 1872 as a farming center. The need for local education was soon identified. Richard Nundvar, a local carpenter, oversaw construction of the log cabin that would serve as a school building. It was constructed on the main street of Tabor in what is today a park. The first class consisted of 20 students, taught by Joseph Zitka, a teacher and Dakota Territory legislator. Classes were taught in both the Czech and English languages. In 1882, a new, larger school building was built. The original school was moved 200 yard away and was converted into a private residence the following year.</p><br>

<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Houston County and Crockett were both established in 1837. The first version of courthouse was a log cabin built the following year on the square, which was replaced by a more permanent brick building in 1851. This second courthouse was destroyed by fire in 1865, also burning most of the countys records. Government proceedings were temporarily hosted in a commercial building on the square. The American Civil War and its aftermath, as well as multiple other fires and a drought, delayed rebuilding the courthouse until 1871. This courthouse burned in another fire in 1882 and was again rebuilt the following year. This fourth courthouse was designed by W.C. Dodson of Waco in the Second Empire style and featured a large, central clock tower atop the buildings roof.</p><br>
<p>By the 1930s, a 50-year period of economic boom had brought thousands of new residents to Houston County, and several new government buildings—including a post office, jail, and city hall—were built during this time. However, the Great Depression and Dust Bowl both caused the largely-agricultural county&#39;s economy to suffer. On February 18, 1938, Houston County applied through the Public Works Administration for partial funding to build a new courthouse, which was subsequently approved. In March, the county hired Houston-based architect Blum E. Hester to design the building, and in November, Eckert-Fair Construction Company of Dallas won the construction bid.</p><br>
<p>The cornerstone for the new courthouse was laid in July 1939 and included several artifacts donated by local citizens, including photographs, documents including a marriage certificate, a copy of the New Testament, and a fountain pen. The cost of the new courthouse exceeded $180,000. Construction continued through to October. The building was accepted by the Houston County Commissioners in late 1939 and early 1940 and opened shortly thereafter. The courthouse has since served not just as a governmental seat but also as a community space, hosting festivals, parades, and other public events.</p><br>
