<p>Valley Furnace, also known as Fanny Furnace and Brushy Fork Furnace, is a historic blast furnace near Valley Furnace, West Virginia. The furnace operated from 1847 to about 1855, after which the site was abandoned. After 1965 the site became a roadside park operated by the West Virginia Division of Highways. In 2002 the property was transferred to the Barbour County Commission for use as a park. The site has not been developed for park use.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>Valley Furnace comprises the remaining portions of an iron smelting operation. The existing furnace is a rough stone structure with sloping walls, originally between 32 ft and 39 ft. Much of the upper part of the furnace structure has collapsed into rubble. The complex originally included timber structures to charge and serve the furnace which have since disappeared. There may also have been a water wheel on an adjoining stream to power a bellows. Records indicate that 20 to 30 houses were nearby, along with blacksmith shops, ore mines, and timber stands. None of these appurtenances remain. The entire property associated with the furnace may have amounted to 1,000 acre, with about 13 acre devoted to the furnace complex.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Iron ore was found at the location in 1835 by John Johnson, who sought investors to develop the deposit. The furnace was constructed circa 1847 by George W. Bryan, who named the furnace "fanny" for his wife. Unlike earlier bloomery furnaces that produced wrought iron, the Valley Furnace was a blast furnace that produced pig iron using a bellows to induce a forced draft, using charcoal as a fuel. Ore was provided from surface mines that exploited local clay deposits bearing ore nodules. Although coal was available on the property, it was not used for fuel. The furnace produced about 9,000 lb of iron a day. A steam-powered blast was installed instead of the water-powered blast around 1850.</p><br>
<p>George Bryan died in 1853 at the age of about 38 years. Disputes among creditors were not resolved until 1859, but the furnace appears to have remained in operation until 1855, and the site was abandoned. By the middle of the 19th century, coal-fire furnaces in Pennsylvania using iron ore from rich deposits in Michigan produced cheap iron, making operations like the Valley Smelter noncompetitive. In 1965 a roadside maker was installed, and a roadside park was constructed around 1971 by the West Virginia Division of Highways. Some reconstruction work was done in 1989. In December 2020, the land was transferred to the Barbour County Commission.</p><br>
<p>The site is an undeveloped Barbour County park, comprising about 0.437 acre. The site was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on July 21, 2023.</p><br>

<p>Bois Doré is a historic house located in McLean, Virginia, United States along Virginia State Route 193 . It was built in 1951 and was added to the Virginia Landmarks Register and the National Register of Historic Places in 2020.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<h3>Construction and latter renovations</h3><br>
<p>Commissioned by Karen Gram Scott, a socialite from Washington, D.C., Bois Doré (French for golden wood) was designed by architectural historian and preservationist Thomas Tileston Waterman and William Max Haussmann, who would later serve as the chief architect at the National Park Service National Capital Region jurisdiction. Waterman was not a licensed architect and collaborated on the project with his colleague Haussmann to meet the requirements of Virginia state building codes.</p><br>
<p>Bois Doré was completed in 1951, and would be sold by Scott the next year to Chalmers and Barbara Wood. The couple divorced, and in 1967, it would be sold to Bryan Munroe and Charlotte Fredette Eagle, who would perform major renovations to the property, including the addition of a wine cellar in the basement, the conversion of the garage into a guest house, and the construction of a new six-car garage adjacent to the guest house, which would store antique vehicles before becoming a living space. Gardens designed by Ms. Eagle were added around the property, and a gazebo, a pavilion, and a tea house among other smaller structures were constructed at the home. The original exterior finishes and interior plaster walls, flooring, woodwork, and fireplaces as designed by Waterman and Haussmann remain intact.</p><br>
<h3>Preservation</h3><br>
<p>In 2006, the owners of Bois Doré signed conservation easements with the Northern Virginia Conservation trust to preserve the property from any future development. On September 17, 2020, the Virginia Department of Historic Resources added Bois Doré to the Virginia Landmarks Register. Later that year on December 7, the National Park Service added the property to the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>The Citizens National Bank building in Martinsburg, West Virginia, United States, is a former bank building, built in 1970, that was touted as "a new beginning for future development of downtown Martinsburg." The modernist style, with references to Brutalism that was then a design trend, set it apart from surrounding development in a conscious break from local tradition.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Citizens National Bank building replaced the Hotel Berkeley on the site. The hotel closed in 1968 and was demolished to clear the site for the bank building. The new building, designed by Martinsburg architect Willard F. Wurzburg, Jr. (1931-1985), opened in 1970, costing $500,000 to build. During construction, $85,000 was stolen from a bank vault being stored on the site. The bank was extensively promoted for its modern features.</p><br>
<p>With consolidation, Citizens National Bank lost its individual identity as it was merged into a series of larger bank holdings. The branch was closed in 1994. The same year, Berkeley County acquired the property, which adjoins the county courthouse, for courthouse services and operations.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The three-story 16,000 ft&sup2; bank building uses plain masses and raw-finished materials in a mixture of modernist motifs and Brutalist applications. Since the site slopes to the rear, the elevation on King Street is two stories. Most of the exterior is a buff-colored brick. The entrances are inset from the planes of the exterior. Glazing is more extensive on the topmost floor, with tall glazing set apart by vertical concrete fins on all four sides. Some of the projecting elements are supported by brick corbels. The vertical windows extend farther down at the stairwells.</p><br>
<p>The interior has been modified since the vacation by the bank. It originally had 13 teller stations and a drive-through. Vault and utility space was located on the ground floor, while the banking lobby was on the second level fronting King Street. Offices occupied the third floor. All of these spaces have been altered to the requirements of the courthouse and County. Ceilings in the former are largely unaltered. The original design cycled ventilation returns past the light fixtures in the ceiling to capture the warm air and reuse it in colder months.</p><br>
<p>The building was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on August 19, 2023.</p><br>

<p>Finney&#39;s Cafeteria, also known as Gebhart Building, The Chocolate Shop, and Museum of Chocolate, is a historic four-story building located at 217-219 W. 6th Street in the Broadway Theater District in the historic core of downtown Los Angeles. The building is most notable for its ground-floor interior tilework, done by Ernest A. Batchelder.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<h3>Beginnings</h3><br>
<p>According to the United States Department of the Interior, Finney&#39;s Cafeteria was built in 1904,</p><br>
<p>In 1913, Plummer and Feil redesigned the ground-floor interior to resemble a German beer hall with a Dutch motif. This redesign features tiles by Ernest A. Batchelder that were later painted over, as the owners, the Chocolate Shop Corporation, did not like their original color. The location, named Dutch Chocolate Shop, was the company&#39;s fourth and was meant to be the first in a chain of interiors depicting foreign countries, although no others were created.</p><br>
<p>In 1924, Broadway-Spring Arcade opened behind this building, and a rear entrance was added to this building connecting it to the arcade.</p><br>
<h3>Early Tenants</h3><br>
<p>Dutch Chocolate Shop occupied the remodeled ground floor from 1914 to the mid-to-late 1910s, and Health Cafeteria occupied the chocolate shop location from the 1920s to the 1940s. In 1939, the Dr. A. W. von Lange Health Institute and their twin spa facilities moved into the top floor of this building, where they would remain on-and-off until the mid-1960s, and more significantly, in the late 1940s, Finney&#39;s Cafeteria took over the Health Cafeteria location, where they would remain until 1986.</p><br>
<h3>Preservation</h3><br>
<p>In 1975, Finneys Cafeteria was listed as Los Angeles Historic Cultural Monument #137, and in 1979, when the Broadway Theater and Commercial District was added to the National Register of Historic Places, Finneys Cafeteria was listed as a contributing property in the district. The building underwent a seismic retrofit in the 1980s, which amongst other changes sealed the building&#39;s upper-story windows.</p><br>
<h3>Recent happenings</h3><br>
<p>In the 1990s, the ground floor housed electronics vendors (including at one point a Metro PCS store), with the upper floors vacant and the ground floor tiles and murals boarded up for their protection. The tiles and murals were not uncovered until 2012, after which a full restoration was estimated at $300,000 - $350,000 ($ - $ today). The buildings passageway into the Broadway-Spring Arcade was bricked closed in 2002. The building was shuttered in 2014, as the owner was unable to add a second exit that would increase occupancy beyond its one-exit limit of fifty. The owner attempted to reopen the Broadway-Spring Arcade passageway as this exit, but he and that buildings owners were unable to make a deal.</p><br>
<p>In 2019, the building was put up for sale for $12 million. An additional estimated $6 million in renovations would be required to prepare the building for occupancy.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture and design</h2><br>
<p>Finney&#39;s Cafeteria is made of brick and has a plain facade.</p><br>
<p>The ground-floor interior, redesigned after the building was constructed, has been described as "stunning," a "masterpiece," and "one of the most beautiful and extravagant tile interiors in Los Angeles or anywhere." Meant to resemble a German beer hall and featuring a Dutch motif, nearly every square inch of the ground-floor alcoves, windowless walls, groin vault ceiling, and floor is covered in handmade, custom 4 in tile, with the walls also containing 21 mosaic-styled bas-relief murals, the largest of which is 6 ft wide by 5 ft tall. The tiles and murals were all done by Ernest A. Batchelder and his employees, with the murals being his first ever custom job and the entire project his largest commission. After installation, the tiles and murals were painted a chocolate color.</p><br>
<h2>In popular culture</h2><br>
<p>Finney Cafeterias tiled interior was featured in The Good Place, the Castle episode “The G.D.S.”, the 1918 film The Hope Chest, the 1980 film The Hunter, and the music video for Taylor Swifts Bad Blood featuring Kendrick Lamar.</p><br>

<p>The USA Geological Survey National Center, officially the John Wesley Powell Federal Building, is a historic building and the headquarters of the United States Geological Survey —an agency of the USA Department of the Interior —located in Reston, Virginia. Built in 1974, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2020.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The approximately 1,000,000 sq. ft., 1,200 foot long USA Geological Survey National Center building sits on a 105-acre site and is divided into three main sections—the agency administration offices, the laboratories, and the map reproduction area.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<h3>Previous USGS office buildings</h3><br>
<p>Prior to the current headquarters of the USGS, the agency had been located in several other buildings in Washington. At its 1879 establishment, the USGS was located at the corner of 8th and G Streets Northwest, adjacent to the then-current United States Patent and Trademark Office building. In 1882, the office relocated to inside the Arts and Industries Building (then known as the National Museum of the Smithsonian) located beside the National Mall. In 1917, the USGS headquarters was relocated to the Hooe Iron Building at the corner of 10th and G Streets Northwest. The last building the agency moved to before its current headquarters was the newly built Main Interior Building in 1937, in which the USGS shared its offices with other DOI agencies.</p><br>
<h3>Construction of the USA Geological Survey National Center</h3><br>
<h4>Pre-construction</h4><br>
<p>In 1959, the General Services Administration (GSA) submitted a prospectus to Congress for a $32,240,000 project that would construct a new United States Geological Survey building under the Public Buildings Act of 1959. The prospectus had to be resubmitted in 1961 and would finally be approved in 1962.</p><br>
<p>In 1964, the GSA signed a contract with Chicago-based architectural firm Skidmore, Owings, and Merrill and H. D. Nottingham & Associates of Arlington, Virginia for a pre-design study of the building, which included the evaluation of potential sites. A wooded site just south of the Dulles Access Road and the in-development community of Reston was selected on February 1, 1966, and on February 3, the firms signed another contract with the GSA for a more-detailed study of the newly selected site. The study would be completed in April and approved by the National Capital Planning Commission on July 28. In August, the USA Government would negotiate with the Reston developers to purchase the selected land, which resulted in the gift from the developers of 50 acres of land and the government purchasing another 35 acres at $7,000 per acre. 20 more acres were purchased at the same price in 1969 as previously negotiated in the 1966 deal.</p><br>
<h4>Construction and completion</h4><br>
<p>Crews completed clearing trees at the site in 1970, preserving some of the forest around the future parking lots. Bids for construction at the site were submitted later that year, with the George H. Hyman Construction Company submitting the low bid. The company was granted a $44,118,000 construction contract on June 29, 1971, by Gulf Reston, Inc., the new developers of the Reston community. On July 31, 1971, construction began immediately after a groundbreaking ceremony. Construction was completed in 1974 and an opening ceremony for the building was held on July 12. Announced at the ceremony, in dedication of the second director of the United States Geological Survey from 1881 to 1894, Civil War veteran and geologist John Wesley Powell, the building would be officially named the John Wesley Powell Federal Building. During his term at the USGS, Powell himself had envisioned a new building for the agency, which would have been located near the National Museum of the Smithsonian.</p><br>
<h3>Preservation</h3><br>
<p>On August 10, 2020, the National Park Service listed the USA Geological Survey National Center on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>The Kane Street Historic District is a residential historic district in central Burlington, Wisconsin. The district includes 158 buildings, 137 of which are considered contributing buildings to its historic character, and a statue of Abraham Lincoln. Development in the district began in the 1840s shortly after Burlington was settled and continued through the mid-twentieth century, though construction peaked in the decades after the Wisconsin Central Railroad opened a station in Burlington in 1884. Many of the homes in the district belonged to Burlingtons most influential residents, including merchant Ephraim Perkins, the Meinhardt banking family, and Louis H. Rohr, owner of the Wisconsin Condensed Milk Company. The district includes examples of most of the popular American architectural styles of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Its earliest homes have Greek Revival, Italianate, and gabled ell vernacular designs. The Queen Anne style was popular during the districts building boom, and 54 of its houses utilize the style. Early twentieth century styles are also well-represented in the district, including American Foursquare, bungalow, Colonial Revival, Dutch Colonial, and Tudor Revival.</p><br>
<p>The district was added to the National Register of Historic Places on July 25, 2014. The 1882 Meinhardt House, a large Queen Anne home in the district, burned down in November 2024.</p><br>

<p>The Coca-Cola Bottling Plant is a former industrial plant in Bogalusa, Louisiana for a bottling franchise of the Coca-Cola company. The National Register of Historic Places listed the building which now operates as an event venue named The Coke Plant.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>John Claude "J.C." Mills founded the Bogalusa Coca Cola Bottling Company in 1910 and built a two-story wood structure where the current brick building now stands. This building replaced that earlier structure in either 1930 or 1931. The facility bottled soda until 1985 when the Baton Rouge Coca-Cola Bottling Co. bought the company and closed the Bogalusa plant to consolidate operations.</p><br>
<p>The building sat vacant for decades and experienced extensive water damage. In 2018, the Louisiana Trust for Historic Preservation identified the bottling plant as one of the most endangered historic sites in Louisiana. The next year, the National Register listed it as part of a preservation effort by the Bogalusa Historic Cultural District.</p><br>
<p>The Blackstone Property Company, owned by Bernie Brennan and James Brennan, purchased the building in 2020 with the intent to restore the structure, partly using historic rehab tax credits. That family had a long-term association with Coca-Cola as they started Brennan&#39;s Vend Works, which had been selling Coke products since its founding in 1950. After two years of renovations led by James Brennan, the building reopened in 2023 as "The Coke Plant", a wedding venue with a 500-person capacity.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>Coca-Cola hired the architecture firm Pringle & Smith to design standardized designs for their bottling franchises to use when constructing production facilities. These distinctive Beaux-Arts buildings extended Coca-Cola&#39;s recognizable branding to the physical landscape of towns. The Bogalusa building is the "Standard Plant No. 3" from the 1929 edition of the Coca-Cola Bottler’s Standards publication.</p><br>
<p>Both the front and two sides include prominent built-in terra cotta panels featuring the "Coca-Cola" logo and contoured Coke bottle motifs surrounded by honeysuckle leaves. Prior to the renovations, the logos were tinted red and the bottles green, but the panels are now a solid cream color.</p><br>
<p>The two-story front of the red brick building originally served as the offices and has a formal entrance with a concrete door surround. A hipped roof supported by plain modillions tops this section. The rear of the structure, where the bottling plant and garage were originally located, is just one story with a flat roof. The middle of the structure has a beam roof structure forming a covered central courtyard. Metal factory sash windows are used throughout the complex.</p><br>
<p>The Davidson Building, currently designated as Three McPherson Square, is a historic office building in Washington, D.C., United States at 927 15th Street Northwest, adjacent to McPherson Square, built in 1917. At twelve stories and tall, it was the tallest building in the city from its completion until 1926. Located within the Financial Historic District, the building was added to the District of Columbia Inventory of Historic Sites on July 28, 2016 and the National Register of Historic Places on October 4.</p><br>
<p>The building has also been referred to as the Phillips Building between 1923 and 1929 and the Carry Building from 1929 to 1965.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The Davidson Building was designed by local architect B. Stanley Simmons and is built with Renaissance Revival-style architecture.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<h3>Construction</h3><br>
<p>Construction of the Davidson Building broke ground in 1917 and was completed that same year. Upon completion, the twelve story, -tall office building was the tallest building in Washington, D.C. before it was surpassed in height by the National Press Building in 1926. The Davidson Building was the first multi-story purpose-built office building to replace a pre-existing residential building at McPherson Square—among multiple others that would soon appear throughout the 1920s—as Washington&#39;s Financial District expanded north and replaced the residential neighborhood that surrounded the square.</p><br>
<h3>Ownership and tenants</h3><br>
<p>The Davidson Building was first owned by real estate firm Davidson & Davidson who used the first floor of the building as its own office space. The firm also leased the building to the recently formed Federal Trade Commission, as, at the time, federal-owned office buildings were scarce and government agencies resorted to renting spaces within private buildings. The agreement between the firm and the agency would be short-lived as the USA government would eventually construct more purpose-built federal buildings for its agencies. The Davidson Building would be purchased by real estate developer William S. Phillips in 1923 and renamed the Phillips Building. The building would then be purchased by Albert Carry Properties in 1929 and be known as the Carry Building until 1965 when owner Joseph C. Carry died.</p><br>
<p>The building, while still commonly referred to as the Davidson Building, is currently designated as Three McPherson Square. The first floor offices have since been replaced by retail space, occupied by various shops and restaurants over time, while the offices at floors two through twelve remain occupied by various tenants.</p><br>
<h3>Preservation</h3><br>
<p>The Davidson Building is located within the Financial Historic District (Fifteenth Street Financial Historic District before 2016), which first was listed on the District of Columbia Inventory of Historic Sites (DCIHS) in 1984 and on the National Park Service&#39;s National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) in 2006 before being re-listed in 2016 and 2017 respectively after expanding. The building itself was added to the DCIHS on July 28, 2016 and on the NRHP later that year on October 4.</p><br>

<p>The Dunlow Norfolk & Western Railway Depot is a historic railroad depot in the small community of Dunlow, West Virginia, located along the former route of the Norfolk and Western Railway&#39;s Ohio Extension line.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The depot was one of several passenger and freight depots built to serve communities along the Norfolk and Western (N&W) line. Locally called the Twelvepole Line or the Tadpole Line, the route followed Twelvepole Creek to Kenova on the Ohio River. Work on the Dunlow station was begun to the N&W&#39;s specifications in September 1891 by the J.H. Millender Lumber Company of Ceredo, at a cost of $1250. Work was complete by December of that year, and the first train arrived on December 13. The town itself was not organized until 1892, supplanting the village of Twelvepole. The community became the headquarters for the Guyandotte Coal Land Association, which administered land transactions for coal-related businesses.</p><br>
<p>The Twelvepole Line proved to be unsatisfactory in use. The curving single-track line lacked capacity, and was replaced by the Big Sandy Line from 1902-1904, which was doubled in 1923-25. Coal in the vicinity of Dunlow was found to be unprofitable to mine. A December 1901 fire had destroyed much of the center of Dunlow, which never recovered. In 1932 the railroad petitioned to abandon the line, and on September 1, 1933, the last train passed Dunlow, and the tracks were removed by December.</p><br>
<p>The depot was sold, and probably became a residence. It was vacant by 1995, and remained so by 2017.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The depot is a simple one-story frame structure on Old Railroad Road, which follows the track of the former railroad. The frame board-and-batten structure is 49 ft long and 24 ft wide. Originally set on sandstone piers, the foundation was replaced with brick and concrete block. A plain gable metal roof has a single cross gable on the side facing the road, with decorative gable framing. The name DUNLOW is painted on each end gable. The railroad platforms have been removed or cut back. Windows are double-hung sashes.</p><br>
<p>The interior consists of four rooms. There are two passenger waiting rooms on the north end of the building. An office and ticket space occupies the center of the building, with a bayed window facing west under the side gable. The southern half of the building is the freight room, with large doors on the east, west and south sides. All of the rooms have wood floors. The office and waiting rooms have beaded paneling on the walls and ceilings. The freight room is unfinished, with exposed wall sheathing and open rafters.</p><br>
<p>The Dunlow Depot was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on April 5, 2023.</p><br>

<p>Nino y Caballo (A vision expressing freedom and joy) (40 ft by 70 ft, western half of southern wall) by Frank Romero, 1984</p><br>
<p>A fourth mural was added to the building sometime between 1985 and 2001.</p><br>
<p>In 2014, The Pope on Broadway was restored at a cost of $150,000, spearheaded by the Los Angeles Mural Conservancy and paid for by Greenland USA.</p><br>
<h3>Historic designation</h3><br>
<p>Victor Clothing Company was not listed in the National Register of Historic Places&#39;s Broadway Theater and Commercial District when it was first created in 1979, but it was included when the district was expanded in 2002.</p><br>
<h3>Recent events</h3><br>
<p>The building was put up for sale in 1995 and sold to Nathan Korman in 2001. All tenants, including Victor Clothing, were evicted following the sale, after which the building&#39;s upper floors were converted to live/work lofts. Korman said that he bought the building in part because of its murals, which he wanted to preserve.</p><br>
<p>In 2009, the building was rehabilitated at a cost of $8 million. In 2014, the building was awarded $20,788 through the Bringing Back Broadway initiative to accent its decorative roof eaves.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture and design</h2><br>

<p>The Bluefield Green Book Historic District comprises two buildings in Bluefield, West Virginia, that were used as hotels and apartments catering to African-American travelers during the segregation era of the mid-20th century. The Travelers Inn Hotel was built in 1920, and the Hotel Thelma was built in 1948-49 on an adjoining lot on Wayne Street. Both were listed in the Negro Motorist Green Book. The Hotel Thelma was listed from 1950 to 1961, and the Travelers Inn Hotel was listed from 1959 to 1966.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The principal African-American neighborhoods in Bluefield were located on the north side of town, across the Norfolk & Western Railway tracks paralleling Wayne Street, and on the east side of the city. Bland Street and Scott Street emerged as Black business districts to the south of the tracks. Segregation was enforced in Bluefield, with Black customers barred from downtown businesses. After a series of civil disobedience actions, segregation was abolished in 1960. Black-owned businesses declined thereafter.</p><br>
<p>The Negro Motorist Green Book was published from 1936 to 1967 to aid African-American travelers in finding safe, welcoming accommodations. From 1940, five businesses were listed in Bluefield, including the Traveler&#39;s Inn from 1940 to 1957, and the Hotel Thelma from 1950 to 1961.</p><br>

Alma Florence was the buildings owner. The relocated hotel had a restaurant on the first floor, and rooms on the second floor.</p><br>
<p>In 1969 Florence sold the building to Carolyn Foster Bailey, who lived in the Thelma Hotel. Bailey owned the Traveler&#39;s Inn Hotel until 1988, selling it to Paul D. Brown and James M. Wade. During that time it was used as an apartment building, and also saw service as a polling place.</p><br>

Thelma and her sister Helen Witten lived at the property. In 1947 Thelma bought property on Waynes Street next to the Travelers Inn Hotel, with an existing early 1900s house on the site. In 1948 she added the front portion of the hotel as an addition to the house, and in 1949 she added another wing on the east side. The building was opened as the Hotel Thelma on Thanksgiving Day, November 24, 1949. By 1953 she had obtained a license to sell beer, and in 1954 she added Thelmas Grocery at the site.The hotel was listed int he Green Book until 1960. In 1963, Thelmas Restaurant was operating at the site. Thelma Stone lived in a three-bedroom apartment at the property until her death in 1981. The hotel continued in operation until the mid-1980s under the ownership of Thelma Stones neice and her husband. In 1991 they sold the property to James and Carol Wade, who owned shares in the Travelers Inn Hotel next door. In 1996 the property was sold to the Infirmity Prayer Service. Plans include a restaurant and shop, with restoration of the guest rooms to reflect the hotels time of operation.</p><br>

<h2>Silver Lake Schoolhouse #1</h2><br>
<p>The Silver Lake Schoolhouse #1, also known as Meagher District School, Dacey School, and Richmond Hill School. The schoolhouse is an historic one room public schoolhouse that is located in Silver Lake, Susquehanna County, Pennsylvania. The current building is a wooden structure and based on best available information dates from around 1862, which was when the first deed was recorded for the property. A school on this site is first mentioned by the school&#39;s first teacher Thomas English with regard to a meeting to be held on 10 January,1840 about winter school.

<p>The wooden building measures 18.5’ x 28.5’ and is of a simple design that generally follows the state-provided templates of the time. The site and setting are virtually unchanged from the time the school building was constructed with only the outhouses and a more modern era woodshed removed. One feature that helps to date the building are the blackboards that are made of soft wood painted black. The 1864-65 County Superintendent’s report notes that schools are just starting to get slate blackboards.</p><br>
<p>The schoolhouse is built on land once belonging to Dr. Robert H. Rose, who owned all of the land when Silver Lake Township was first formed. Dr. Rose promoted the schools of Silver Like in 1841 Ireland newspapers in order to attract immigrants to the area. A Pomeroy Foundation marker honoring Dr. Rose is located in front of the school. The schoolhouse is also listed on the Country School Association of America (CSAA).</p><br>

<p>Saint Mary of the Snows is a Catholic church that is located at 1630 Ashland Road in Mansfield, Ohio.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Established on August 5, 1949, the Feast of Our Lady of the Snows, the parish was founded to accommodate the growing Catholic population in the Mansfield area. The original Newman School, built in 1914 and abandoned since 1948, was purchased for $35,000 on the same date.</p><br>
<p>After the purchase, the school building was converted for church use, with the first Masses held on Easter Sunday, April 9, 1950.</p><br>
<p>The Newman Street location was always intended as a temporary solution. On November 9, 1961, the current St. Mary’s property was acquired, and eight years later, on August 5, 1969—20 years after the parish’s founding—the new school opened. Masses continued at the Newman Street site until November 1, 1971, when the property was sold at auction.</p><br>
<p>A decade later, with parish debt cleared, plans for a new church were finalized on May 20, 1981. The construction contract totaled $962,253, and the new church was formally dedicated on June 20, 1982.</p><br>
<p>After 35 years of service, the Sisters of Mercy left the parish and school due to declining vocations and enrollment.</p><br>
<p>St. Mary’s is part of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Toledo, led by the Most Reverend Daniel Thomas. The parish also operates Saint Mary of the Snows School, which was founded in 1949 as an elementary and middle school.</p><br>
<p>Western Costume Building, also known as 939 South Broadway Building, 939 Broadway Lofts, and Anjac Fashion Building, is a historic eleven-story highrise located at 939-947 S. Broadway in the Broadway Theater District in the historic core of downtown Los Angeles.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Western Costume Building, built for the Ninth and Broadway Company in 1924–1925, was designed by Kenneth A. MacDonald Jr., the architect also responsible for the nearby Broadway-Spring Arcade.</p><br>

Prior to 1923, the company was located across the street in the Broadway Leasehold Building and post-1932, the company moved next to Paramount Studios on Melrose Avenue. Post-Western Costume, this building was occupied by garment manufacturing.</p><br>
<p>Western Costume Building was not listed in the National Register of Historic Places&#39;s Broadway Theater and Commercial District when it was first created in 1979, but it was included when the district was expanded in 2002.</p><br>
<p>The building was bought by Barry Shy in 2016, and in 2018, he completed a conversion of the building to residential.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture and design</h2><br>
<p>Western Costume Building is built of with a brick and terra cotta facade. The building features a Renaissance Revival design with a two-story Gothic Revival entrance overlaid on the building&#39;s northernmost bay. The primary facade features five bays in total. Other aspects of the design include:</p><br>

<p>elaborate metalwork that frames the one-story door, the four round-headed windows in the transom, and the arched second story window.</p><br>
<p>three windows, separated by colonette mullions, in the remaining second-story bays</p><br>
<p>panelled piers, edged by spiraled moldings, that define each bay and are accented at the level of the first story frieze and shields</p><br>
<p>un-ornamented brick that separates the windows on the third through ninth stories</p><br>
<p>a two-story capital defined by continuous piers and mullions with spandrels between stories</p><br>
<p>Ionic capitals that crown the piers</p><br>
<p>a second frieze, topped by cornice and antefixes, that terminates the building</p><br>
<p>The integrity of the building is high and the building itself is in good condition.</p><br>

<p>The Marcel Breuer House and Studio is a historic property at 634 Black Pond Road in Wellfleet, Massachusetts. Built in 1949 and enlarged in 1962 to designs by Marcel Breuer, it served as a summer retreat and experimental architecture landscape for the architect until his retirement in 1976. The property remains in the Breuer family, and includes an extensive collection of art and design works collected by Breuer. The property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2024.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Marcel Breuer House and Studio stand in a remote area of the Cape Cod National Seashore in eastern Wellfleet, on 4.2 acre overlooking Williams and Higgins Ponds. The house and studio form an L shape joined by a covered breezeway, and stand near the northern end of the predominantly wooded property. The house is a single-story woodframe structure, designed in a "long house" form Breuer used for a number of other houses he designed. The exterior is clad in vertical tongue-and-groove siding with a weathered silver coloration. The north and west walls are largely devoid of windows, while the east and south sides have expansive windows providing views of the nearby ponds. An open porch projects eastward over the landscape. The interior is divided into an open-plan public space to the east, with private rooms and facilities to the west.</p><br>
<p>The house was built in 1949, and was the third of four houses Breuer designed and built for his family. In 1962 Breuer and on the studio, like the house a rectangular single-story structure. Breuer used the studio until he retired from professional work in 1976, and his descendants continue to own the property, which is an inholding within the Cape Cod National Seashore. Breuer designed three other homes in the area that use the same "long box" form of basic design.</p><br>
<p>Irvine-Byrne Building, also known as Irvine Block, Byrne Building, Giant Penny Building, Pan American Building, and Pan American Lofts, is a historic five-story building located at 249-259 South Broadway, on the corner of Broadway and 3rd Street, in the Broadway Theater District in the historic core of downtown Los Angeles. It is the second-oldest commercial building in the historic core, after the Bradbury Building located at the same intersection and designed and built by the same individuals.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Irvine-Byrne Building, originally called Irvine Block, was designed by Sumner Hunt and built for Margaret Irvine of Irvine Ranch in 1894, with construction supervised by George Wyman. James W. Byrne, who had offices in the building since at least 1896, purchased the building in 1905 and subsequently changed its name to Byrne Building. Additional building tenants during its early years include McCormick-Henderson Company, Fireman&#39;s Fund Insurance Company, Mount Lowe Springs Company, I. Magnin, at least one dentist and real-estate agent, and numerous lawyers and architects. The Mexican Consulate in Los Angeles was also located in this building during World War II.</p><br>
<p>The building caught fire on February 16, 1911, after which Willis Polk led repairs and alterations.</p><br>
<p>Irvine-Byrne Building was not listed in the National Register of Historic Places&#39;s Broadway Theater and Commercial District when it was first created in 1979, but it was included when the district was expanded in 2002. The building was also listed as Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument #544 in 1991.</p><br>
<p>The building&#39;s ground-floor housed a Giant Penny discount store from the 1980s to 2004, after which the building underwent a $20 million conversion to residential. Donald Barany Architects supervised the remodel, paid for by Urban Pacific Builders.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture and design</h2><br>

<p>Judge Joseph Crockett House, also known as Lone Oak, is a historic house located on the south side of East 16th Street in Hopkinsville, Kentucky. Designed by Minard Lafever, the house was constructed between 1834 and 1836. It is the only remaining structure from the first half of the nineteenth century in a neighborhood that has since developed into a late nineteenth-century residential area. The house represents the transition from the Federal Style architecture to the Greek Revival style. It is one of only three documented Temple Form Greek Revival houses ever built in Hopkinsville; one was torn down at the beginning of the 20th century, and the other survivor is the Dillard House . It is recognized for its architectural significance as one of the best-preserved examples of Greek Revival style in Hopkinsville.</p><br>
<p>The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) on April 3, 1979.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The house was built by Judge Joseph B. Crockett (1808–1884), a prominent lawyer and politician who served in various capacities within local and state government in Christian County. At the time of its construction, Hopkinsville was still considered a frontier area. Crockett, who was born in Jessamine County, Kentucky, began his legal career after studying law under Charles Morehead, who later became Governor of Kentucky. In 1832, Crockett purchased 5.25 acres of land that was part of the original land grant from Bartholomew T. Wood, the founder of Hopkinsville.</p><br>
<p>Crockett and his wife, Caroline M. Bryan, moved into the house in 1835. During this period, Crockett was actively involved in politics, being re-elected to the Kentucky legislature around this same time. Approximately two years later, he served as Commonwealth Attorney for Christian County and eventually moved to St. Louis, where he continued his legal career and became the editor of a local newspaper, The Intelligencer. In 1868, he was appointed Chief Justice of the California Supreme Court, retiring in 1880.</p><br>
<p>In 1843, the Crockett family sold Lone Oak to Tandy H. Trice. In 1845, James F. Buckner, a former law partner of Crockett and a notable Whig politician, purchased the house. Buckner was an influential figure in Kentucky politics, serving in both the House of Representatives and the State Senate. He was known for his strong Unionist stance during the Civil War, which twice led to angry mobs with torches appearing at the house to protest Buckner and his Unionist views. He sold Lone Oak for $7,000 in 1865, and the property changed hands multiple times thereafter.</p><br>
<p>In 1880, Lone Oak was altered with the addition of two upstairs front rooms.</p><br>
<p>In 1919, Jemmie Courtney Hickman Thompson is rumored to have died in the home. There are varying stories and legends about her death, and there is no confirmation that her life ended in the house; however, employees and guests of the home have reported paranormal activity, leading some to claim the house is haunted by her. After Jemmie&#39;s death, the building changed owners and was the site of many businesses, including a bed and breakfast and nine different restaurants. The final restaurant at the location closed in the 1990s, and the house was unoccupied for another decade. In 2006, a retiree purchased the house with the intention of restoring it.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>Lone Oak is a two-story, seven-bay brick house characterized by its Greek Revival architectural style. The façade features six-over-six pane windows with jack arches on the first floor, while the second-floor windows have been altered to two-over-two. A full-height, pedimented portico held by four stuccoed brick piers covers the three central bays, adorned with a shell design in the tympanum and pendant-like dentils on the entablature.</p><br>
<p>The interior of the house is notable for its unusual cross-axis entrance hall, deviating from the customary central passage found in similar structures of the period. The woodwork includes fluted door and window trim, panelled door jambs, and raised panel doors. The fireplaces in the west and east rooms feature distinct mantles, with the west room showcasing a more elaborate design.</p><br>
<p>Charlotte Congregational Church is a United Church of Christ church in the Town of Charlotte, Vermont, in the United States. Constructed between 1849 and 1851, the Greek Revival style church was dedicated on 8 July 1851. The church replaced the original predecessor wooden church constructed onsite in 1798 that had been damaged by fire in 1848, and subsequently torn down that year.</p><br>
<p>The Church was listed as part of the Charlotte Center Historic District on the Vermont State Register of Historic Places on April 9, 1980 and part of the Charlotte Center Historic District on the National Register of Historic Places on 19 July 1984.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The church was founded on January 3, 1792, at the house of Daniel Hosford Jr. by Horsford, John Hill, Moses Yale, and Joseph Simonds. The first church building was constructed circa 1798 as a wooden two-story structure with windows on both levels, and a bell tower with a tall pointed spire. The main door faced southward where two more doors existed on the east and west sides. Initially, there were no heating facilities. The church had a gallery on three sides and a high pulpit ascended by "a long winding flight of stairs".</p><br>
<p>The wooden church was damaged by fire that occurred sometime between 5 and 19 January 1848 and was subsequently torn down because a Burlington architect by the name of Mr. Herick had estimated that the church would incur a greater cost to repair than to rebuild. Originally estimated to cost $3,000 to build a 40 ft x 60 ft structure, the replacement structure was constructed with red brick and designed to accommodate 350 people. Lanson Edgerton served as the chief bricklayer.</p><br>
<p>By 1882, the church including the grounds was valued at $6,000. During this period, the church had 163 members.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>Designed in Greek Revival style, the notable features of the church include its monumental columns and steeple designed with unusual pineapple-shaped finial. The steeple is a squatted variety of a tower that was portrayed in Plate K of the American Builder&#39;s Companion by Asher Benjamin, published in 1827. Beneath the steeple is front-projecting pediment above four thin Ionic columns posted upon granite bases. A full wooden entablature wraps the entirety of the building. The tympanum of the pediment is decorated with a molded cornice,</p><br>
<p>detailed with a recessed triangular panel that is inset with smaller louvered triangular-shaped vent.</p><br>

<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>A call for bids for the construction of this post office was first announced in July 1934. However, it was not until May 1935 that the construction bid was awarded to local builder Henry Martens. Construction began in July of that year, and the building was finished by March 1936. Postal employees moved into the new building at the end of the month, and it was opened to the public on April 1, 1936.</p><br>
<p>An addition at the rear of the building was constructed in 1959. Westborn Market opened in the building in 2018.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>

<p>The Austin Pass Warming Hut was constructed in 1940 by the Civilian Conservation Corps . The Washington Junior Company 2915, was based at Camp F-12 near Glacier. Other contributions include 43 miles of truck roads, the Glacier Ranger Station, four lookouts and 100 miles of trail. The Austin Pass Warming Hut represents the Region 6 rustic style. The building is a fine example of CCC work. It&#39;s Region 6 rustic style includes: irregular plan, roof and porch projections, intersecting gables, dormers, multi-paned windows, and variations in exterior texture. The use of native wood and stone are a fine example. The columnar andesite veneer in the first floor walls is a figurative link to the rock on which it stands. The use of vertical siding moves the eye to the roof peak, linking the building to the surrounding peaks. Non-contributing structures include the radio mast, flagpole, propane tanks and septic tank.</p><br>
<h2>Appearance</h2><br>
<p>The Warming Hut is a two and one-half story masonry and wood-frame building located in a subalpine habitat at 4,440 ft. The area is surrounded by scattered mountain hemlock and Pacific silver fir. The building is rest atop a knob of columnar andesite, with a sharp drop into the Bagley Lakes basins. A parking lot for about 16 cars is located just to the south. When originally constructed, the Warming Hut had a T plan, facing the northwest. The steeply-pitched, cross-gabled roof is covered with cedar shakes. The roof and a gabled dormer extend beyond the front to create a wide porch. The porch has a flagstone floor with the main entrance in the center. The second entrance is on the southeast elevation. A third entrance, now the primary (2024) is located on the second-story porch in the south angle. Windows are surrounded by quarter-pole trim. The chimney is made of courses of columnar andesite. The first-floor walls are concrete with an exterior masonry veneer of coursed, rough-cut columnar andesite. The second floor and gables are covered with horizontal ten-inch clapboard siding. In the southeast gable and the northwest dormer the boards are placed vertically. A chevron pattern is used below the dormer windows.</p><br>
<p>The Warming Hut was constructed as a ski shelter, supporting the development by the Mt. Baker Development Company. The interior included a large warming room, waxing and drying room, and sleeping loft. It also contained either a lunch room or kitchen at different times. The warming room was finished with knotty pine paneling. The large massive fireplace is made from rough-cut columnar andesite.</p><br>
<p>The Warming Hut was not functional. Heavy snowfall made it difficult to maintain supplies, which had to be skied in. During the Second World War, the State highway department discontinued plowing of the road. After the war, difficulties delayed the return of a ski area until the late 1950s.</p><br>
<p>In 1972, the University of Washington used the Warming Hut as a field station. The first floor was modified with the removal of rest rooms partitions to accommodate electric generation equipment. The second floor saw the main room divided into four bedrooms, a toilet, and a living area. The food service area was remodeled by installing a drop ceiling, removal of the knotty pine paneling, replacing both the ceiling and walls with drywall. The original andesite fireplace located in the living area remained intact.</p><br>
<p>On the exterior, modifications were less extensive. A single-story room with a flat roof was added to house a 2000-gallon diesel storage tank. The walls are concrete with a coursed andesite veneer. Clapboard was used on the upper part of the walls. A pair of 1,200 gal propane tanks are 50 ft south of the Warming Hut, and a concrete septic tank, is located 50 ft feet north. The Warming Hut was used as housing for Forest Service work crews. During the University of Washington or recent Forest Service occupation, a metal radio mast was added to the southeast elevation, and a flagpole placed in the south angle. In 2024, the building is the Heather Meadows Visitor Center.</p><br>

<p>The Glacier Ranger Station is a park ranger office for the Glacier District of Baker National Forest in the USA state of Washington. Camp Glacier  was one of 70 Civilian Conservation Corps camps in Washington state, among the earliest states to establish them, and built the Glacier Ranger Station. It was established in June 1933. This is the second building to serve as the Glacier Ranger Station. The first site was taken from public land on March 16, 1908. The structure was demolished  when the Mount Baker Highway was built on its current right-of-way. Two other wood-frame buildings from the old complex were moved and altered and in use.</p><br>
<p>The ranger station was completed in 1938. There was a complement of 200 enrollees and 45 local experienced men (LEMS) at the camp working under 5 army officers. Several buildings built for the camp, at some distance from the station, are still in use as a summer church camp (Mt Baker Bibleway Camp) on the Mt. Baker highway.</p><br>
<p>The work on the station took several months. Under the supervision of a journeyman mason the columnar basalt was quarried during the summer from deposits near Heather Meadows at the head of the Mt. Baker highway. It was trucked to the construction site where most of the laying was done by the mason. The framing, roofing, and finishing was done by men from the crew.</p><br>
<p>The plans for the station were modified from standard building plans done during 1936 for the Forest Service and initiated L.A.F. The changes are an example of the way designs and material were improvised to limit expenses and utilize the available labor.</p><br>
<p>The interior was remodeled in 1967, the exterior has not been altered. The Glacier Ranger Station, is a &#39;crafted example of CCC projects.</p><br>
<h2>Appearance</h2><br>
<p>The Glacier Ranger Station is a detached structure. The single building floorplan has a central rectangular "block” with wings extending from the long sides. It is referred to as a four-room station on standard Forest Service plans, The single-story Alpine Bungalow style building is primarily of basalt masonry</p><br>
<p>construction with wood frame wings on the east and west sides. The exterior masonry resembles shale but is thick enough to be near ashlar in appearance. The stone has a natural rustic texture. The sections of the wall not of masonry are sided with weatherboard. There is an exposed masonry chimney on the west side of the central block, just forward of the wing. It is offset by a six-foot extension opposite it on the east side. Together the chimney, extension, and square masonry columns flanking the main front entrance and at the end of the wings give the building a very solid cozy appearance.</p><br>
<p>The north facing main entrance is flanked by windows and is covered by the main gable end which extends 5 ft to support columns in portico fashion. The gable end itself is decorated with scroll work and cut out tree designs. The roof shape is basically a central high gable met on each side by gabled wings which drop to sheds on the east and west ends. The roof covering is cedar shingle. The basalt masonry is repeated in the curbing and fencing used on the grounds of the station.</p><br>
