Shortly after its erection, it received an award for the best small-town war memorial. The James L. Lyons Post of the American Legion would move its headquarters within the building when it opened.</p><br>
<p>In 1874, writer William Cullen Bryant, who resided at nearby Cedarmere in modern-day Roslyn Harbor and felt the community was in need of a social space where the public could read, erected Bryant Hall. Located on present-day Bryant Avenue, Bryant Hall would be sold for $1 by Bryants daughter, Julia, to the Bryant Circulating Library Association (formed one year prior, in 1878), per her late fathers wish. The building would serve as its home until 1946, when Bryant Hall was demolished through eminent domain for the construction of the William Cullen Bryant Viaduct; the library would operate at temporary locations between 1946 and 1952. The Roslyn War Memorial Building became the new, permanent home for the library in 1952, and an expansion off its rear was constructed in the late 1960s.</p><br>

The following year, Arthur Letts bought The Broadway, located in one of the building&#39;s storefronts. By 1904, The Broadway occupied the entire ground floor, and in 1905, it acquired the upper floors as well.</p><br>
<h3>Broadway Mart Center</h3><br>
<p>In 1912, The Broadway announced plans for a new nine-story building to replace the Hallett & Pirtle Building. This building, the Broadway Mart Center, was designed by Parkinson and Bergstrom, the architectural duo responsible for several buildings on Broadway, including Trustee Building, Yorkshire Hotel, Bullock&#39;s Building, and Metropolitan Building, and was built in 1913-1915. The company claimed they "ransacked the earth for merchandise" to fill their new building, which when completed contained five entrances (three on Broadway, one on Fourth Street, and one on Hill Street), eleven passenger and four freight elevators, and 460,000 ft&sup2; of space.</p><br>
<p>Broadway Mart Centers first phase of construction involved acquiring 71,000 ft&sup2; of space in the Clark Hotel, which backed up to The Broadway. Then, the departments in Hallett & Pirtle Buildings southern half were transferred here.</p><br>
<p>For the second phase of construction, Hallett & Pirtle Building&#39;s now-empty southern half was demolished, then the southern half of the Broadway Mart Center was built in its place. This half, which measured 96,600 ft&sup2, opened on August 10, 1914 and carried the departments previously located the northern half of the original store.</p><br>
<p>For the third and final stage of construction, the northern half of the Hallett & Pirtle Building was demolished, then the northern half of the Broadway Mart Center was built in its place. This half opened on June 25, 1915, although its formal inauguration occurred September 16, 1915, during Fashion Week.</p><br>
<p>The Broadway occupied the Broadway Mart Center in its entirety from its construction to November 1973.</p><br>

Despite this, when the Broadway Theater and Commercial District was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1979, Broadway Mart Center listed as a contributing property in the district.</p><br>
<p>In 1984, the building was bought by developer Roger Luby, whose renovation plans fell apart after his partners defaulted during the savings and loan crisis. The renovation, budgeted at $56 million, was half complete when it defaulted in September 1986.</p><br>

The three-story brick building was built in 1902 to house the eponymous grocery store, operated by Luther P. Shinn, a local merchant from a prominent area family.

<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Luther Patrick Shinn came from a prominent west central Virginian family. Shinn was born in 1850 in Shinnston, Virginia. Shinn and family members sold supplies to soldiers during the American Civil War. He attended Fairmont Normal School for two years. At the age of 25, Shinn operated a hotel and mercantile establishment in Buckhannon, West Virginia, and in 1892 he designed and built a building at 16 East Main Street in downtown Buckhannon for his dry goods business. This building resembled a smaller version of the building he would eventually build in Belington. Although Shinn sold the business in 1902, he continued to operate new businesses in Buckhannon through his lifetime.</p><br>
<p>The Valley Grocery Company was established Shinn in Belington in 1902 after he sold his first Buckhannon business. The complex included a corn mill that received and processed grain. By 1929 Shinn had incorporated the company as The Golden Rule, and had expanded his merchandising to include clothing, furniture, flooring and other goods. At about the same time, Shinn worked to establish a wholesale grocery business in Elkins, West Virginia.</p><br>
<p>Shinn adopted the Golden Rule as his business philosophy, naming his business for that principle. Shinn died in 1933, and was succeeded by his son William Sexton Shinn, who died in 1968. The business was continued by his widow, Wanda E. Ware Shinn Mitchell, and William and Wanda&#39;s two sons.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The three-story brick building features a main facade facing east along South Crim Avenue, backing up to CSX Railroad tracks to the rear. The front facade comprises three bays of paired arched windows, a raised basement, and an arched front door at the top of a flight of stairs. The roof is flat. Detailing is simple, with a corbeled cornice detail and contrasting brick arches over the windows. The first floor windows have segmental arches, while the upper stories have fully arched heads. The long north elevation repeats this pattern, with segmental arches for all windows, as does the rear, west elevation. The south elevation is blank brick, with a painted sign advertising the store.</p><br>
<p>A wood annex housed a gristmill. This disappeared some time after 1923 and was replaced by a smaller wood frame structure.</p><br>

<p>Lerners Building, also known as Reed&#39;s, is a historic two-story building located at 533 S. Broadway in the Jewelry District and Broadway Theater District in the historic core of downtown Los Angeles.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Lerners Building was designed by Philip Barker and built in 1931. It originally housed the women&#39;s apparel store Lerner’s.</p><br>
<p>In 1944, Grayson’s department store moved into the building and installed a Moderne façade that concealed the original surface and windows. The facade has since been removed.</p><br>
<p>In 1979, the Broadway Theater and Commercial District was added to the National Register of Historic Places, with this building listed as a contributing property in the district.</p><br>
<p>The building was sold for $1.33 million in 2014.</p><br>

<p>Centre Furnace is an iron furnace located in College Township, Centre County, in the Nittany Valley. It was the first charcoal iron furnace built west of the Susquehanna River in 1790-91 by war generals Samuel Miles and John Patton. The furnace was central to the development of the Nittany Valley. The furnace is the namesake of Centre County. The furnace is across Porter Road from the Centre Furnace Mansion House.</p><br>
<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>

<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>

<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>
