<p>The Captain Nathaniel Hayden House is a historic house at 128 Hayden Station Road in Windsor, Connecticut. Built in 1763, it is an excellent local example of Colonial brick architecture. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.</p><br>
<h2>Captain Hayden</h2><br>
<p>Nathaniel Hayden, son of Nathaniel Hayden, was born on December 14, 1738. He first married Anna Flier, then Rhoda Lyman. With Rhoda, he had four children: Nancy, Nathaniel Lyman, Naomi, and Pliny. He went to work with his father as a farmer and a shoemaker but joined the Continental Army. When news of the Battles of Lexington and Concord reached Connecticut, he led 23 men to Massachusetts to take part.</p><br>
<p>When George Washington evacuated New York City during the Battle of Long Island in 1776, Hayden was with the army. He also led a group in 1777 to thwart John Burgoyne at Saratoga, but Burgoyne surrendered before he arrived.</p><br>
<h2>The house</h2><br>
<p>The house is a -story brick structure with a side-gable gambrel roof, end chimneys, and a rear wood-frame ell. The main entrance is a double door centered on the front facade, topped by a transom window. It was built by Nathaniel Hayden in 1763. The home was inherited by Captain Haydens son Nathaniel. He occupied it with his wife Lucretia and their children. "They occupied the spacious brick house built by their father. The tannery and the shoemakers shop were unoccupied, and they then gave their undivided attention to their farm..."</p><br>
<p>It was then passed down to Nathaniel Lyman Hayden Junior, born in 1805, who died there in 1875 after many years of traveling as a banker and living in South Carolina and New York City.</p><br>
<p>The house continues to be a private residence.</p><br>
<p>The Hartford & New Haven Railroad Freight Depot is a historic building at 40 Mechanic Street in downtown Windsor, Connecticut, across the street from the equally historic Hartford & New Haven Railroad Depot. Built about 1870, it is a well-preserved example of a Gothic Revival freight depot. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988. It is now the home of the Windsor Arts Center, a non-profit place that exhibits the work of visual and performing artists.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The former Hartford & New Haven Railroad Freight Depot is located on the east side of Windsor&#39;s downtown area, on the west side of Mechanic Street at its junction with Central Street. It is a long rectangular two-story brick building, set between Mechanic Street and the tracks of the Hartford and New Haven Railroad, now the main line railroad between Hartford, Connecticut and Springfield, Massachusetts. It is located diagonally opposite the tracks and Center Street from the current Amtrak station. It has a largely utilitarian design with some Gothic Revival flourishes. Its roof is topped by square ventilators capped with pyramidal roofs. The present main entrance, on the short end facing Center Street, is sheltered by a gabled bracketed wood-frame hood. The long facades are eleven bays long, articulated by brick piers. Some bays have segmented-arch openings. The roof has extended eaves with exposed rafter and purlin ends.</p><br>
<p>The construction date of the building is uncertain. A small freight depot is documented as standing on this site in 1869, but it is possible that the current building replaced that one around the time that the adjacent passenger depot was built by the Hartford and New Haven Railroad. Since 2007, the building has housed the Windsor Arts Center.</p><br>
<p>The Old Medical College Building is a historic academic building at 598 Telfair Street in Augusta, Georgia, US. It was built in 1835 for the Medical College of Georgia, then and now one of the leading medical schools of the American South. It was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1996 for its sophisticated Greek Revival architecture, and for the role the school played in the establishment of the American Medical Association and the standardization of medical practices.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Old Medical College Building is located in central Augusta, behind Augusta City Hall at the corner of Telfair and 6th Streets. It is a two-story Greek Revival structure, built out of brick covered with stucco scored to resemble stone. Its front facade, facing Telfair Street, has a projecting Greek temple portico, with six massive fluted Doric columns supporting an entablature and gabled pediment. The main entry is at the center, and there are seven small square windows evenly spaced on the second level. The side walls are five bays wide. A parapet surrounds a shallow-pitch hip roof, which rises to a central dome. The interior housed what were, for the 1830s, generous quarters for a medical school, including several laboratory spaces, lecture halls, and a library.</p><br>
<p>The Medical College of Georgia was chartered in 1829 as a state-chartered private institution. This building was built as its main facility in 1835 to a design by Charles Blaney Cluskey, one of America&#39;s early trained architects and a proponent of the "new" Greek Revival style. The building was lauded at its completion for its Classical proportions. It served the medical school until 1913, when it moved to new quarters. The school is now part of Augusta University.</p><br>
<p>The school&#39;s faculty was one of the principal forces behind the establishment of the American Medical Association in 1847, promoting the establishment of guidelines for medical practices, medical education standards, and guidelines for the accreditation of medical schools, at a time when no such standards and guidelines existed.</p><br>
<p>The school&#39;s old building was taken over in 1913 by the adjacent Richmond Academy, which used it as a vocational training center until 1926. It saw use over much of the remaining 20th century by a variety of organizations, notably including the Sand Hills Garden Club, under whose tenure the latticework brick fence was built (1933), and the grounds landscaped. In 1987, the building was acquired by the Medical College of Georgia Foundation, which restored it to its 19th-century appearance, while also upgrading its systems to modern standards.</p><br>
<p>The Galena Historic District is a historic district located in the city of Galena, Illinois, United States. The historic district encompasses 85 percent of the city of Galena and includes more than 800 properties. The downtown area consists of three successive tiers made up of Main, Bench and Prospect Streets. Within the boundaries of the district are such notable homes as the Ulysses S. Grant Home and the Elihu B. Washburne House. The Galena Historic District was added to the USA National Register of Historic Places in 1969.</p><br>
<h2>Boundaries</h2><br>
<p>At the time of its nomination to the National Register of Historic Places, the Galena Historic District included over 90 percent of the city. Present-day numbers cited in media reports were more conservative, stating that the district included 85 percent of the city.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>By the 1880s, the city of Galena no longer held its former prominence, being surpassed by other river ports, such as Dubuque, Iowa, and passed over by major railroads for other locations, such as East Dubuque, Illinois. The Galena River was no longer easily navigable, and floods, including a serious one in 1937, helped ensure the end of Galenas glory days. Galenas long decline continued through the 1950s; at that time, many of the downtown buildings were dilapidated and boarded up. As the historic preservation movement took hold, Galena became one of the first cities in Illinois to pass a historic preservation ordinance. Galena&#39;s historic preservation ordinance was passed in 1965; four years later, the Galena Historic District was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>Buildings</h2><br>
<h3>General</h3><br>
<p>The Galena Historic District contains more than 1,000 buildings constructed before 1900 that are considered contributing properties. The center of downtown Galena is laid out in three parallel segmental tiers starting at Main Street closest to the river. Beyond Main Street, and at a higher elevation, are Bench and Prospect Streets. Main Street forms the primary commercial strip through Galena and is lined with buildings two, three, and four stories tall. Most of Main Street&#39;s structures are built of red brick and cast in Federal style of the simple commercial style of the 1840s.</p><br>
<p>On Bench Street, most of the buildings are public or fraternal buildings, among them some of the districts principal churches. Viewed from the levee or the railroad tracks, the church steeples crown downtown. Backdropping the prominent church steeples of Bench Street is the wooded terrace of Prospect Street. Prospect Street is mostly residential with the large old high school and its clock tower being the evident exception. Northwest of Prospect Street the residential area continues. Many of the private homes in this area date from Galenas early days. The concentration of 19th-century homes, both beyond Prospect Street and on the opposite side of the Galena River, was labeled "astonishing" in the National Register nomination document.</p><br>
<h3>Individual structures</h3><br>
<p>Within the boundaries of the Galena Historic District are three structures that are listed on the National Register of Historic Places in their own right. The Ulysses S. Grant Home is a declared National Historic Landmark, and the Elihu B. Washburne House and Old Market House enjoy listings on the National Register. Aside from those structures, many buildings dating to the early history of Galena and Illinois are included within the district.</p><br>
<p>The DeSoto House Hotel, on Main Street, opened in April 1855 and is reported as the oldest operating hotel in Illinois.</p><br>
<p>Just off Main Street, at Green and Commerce Streets, is the historic Galena Customs House and USA Post Office. The building is a superior example of Federal style architecture.</p><br>
<p>Even amidst the public buildings of Bench Street are examples of some of the fine mansions constructed around Galena, each an integral part of the historic district in its own right. The John Dowling House is one such mansion, cast in the Classical Revival style, the Dowling House was built within the grounds of the stockade constructed here during the Black Hawk War.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The architectural styles present in the Galena Historic District vary according to the time period during which the structures were built. Styles ranging from simple commercial-style buildings of the 1820s up through the Greek Revival, Italianate, Gothic Revival and later Victorian styles are all represented within the historic district. The area is home to some of the finest Greek Revival architecture in the United States.</p><br>
<p>The buildings lining Main Street present a unique architectural unity. The bend of Main Street, which approximately follows the course of the Galena River, enhances the spatial character of the street and is a feature that is rare in American towns and cities.</p><br>
<p>Because of its unique period architecture, Galena has earned various nicknames. The city has been called the "outdoor museum of the Victorian Midwest" and variations on "the town that time forgot." Depending on the commentator Galena&#39;s best architectural attractions are found either on Main Street in the downtown area or in the surrounding bluffs which are dotted with 19th-century mansions.</p><br>
<h2>Historic significance</h2><br>
<p>Galena&#39;s 1858 population stood at 14,000 before the city began an era of significant decline. Many of the buildings, however, survived the ensuing time period, though in a much dilapidated state. Galena was important to the early development of the Upper Midwest, and today the town retains much of its 19th-century character. A stroll through the streets of Galena, especially during the early morning when crowds are not present, envelops one in the sights and sense of a bygone era. Galena is closely connected with its era of urban prosperity and grace that have long since been eliminated by industrialization in most American towns.</p><br>
<p>The Galena Historic District was listed on the USA National Register of Historic Places on October 18, 1969. The National Register nomination cited the historic district&#39;s significance in multiple areas including, agriculture, mining, art and military as its reasons for its listing.</p><br>
<h2>As a tourist destination</h2><br>
<p>The city of Galena hosts more than one million visitors annually. The exact number of visitors varies, depending upon the source of the estimate and the year it was made. The New York Times cited "more than a million" visitors in 2002, as did the Smithsonian magazine in 2007. In 2003, a Chicago Tribune article stated 1.3 million as the number of visitors to the city of Galena per year; two years later the same publication estimated 1.4 million annual visitors. The historic district is populated by tourist-driven shops and business, including dozens of bed and breakfast inns. More than a dozen art galleries dot the downtown area, which is also home to numerous restaurants and taverns.</p><br>
<p>After the Galena Historic District was listed on the National Register, the area began to change. Antique stores sprouted up, according to The New York Times, "like mushrooms after a steady rain." The antique stores have since been replaced. More restaurants, and retail shops, many geared toward tourists are located in the storefronts of downtown Galena. The changes by what some residents and business owners have linked to owners in Chicago have met with mixed reviews. The New York Times reported in 2007 that many long-time Galena residents and second home owners alike appreciated the shift from antique shops to retail and restaurants. In a 2005 Chicago Tribune article, some residents and business owners lamented the growth of the city as well as the rise in rent costs instigated by the change in Galena&#39;s commercial base.</p><br>
<p>44 Court Street in Windsor, Connecticut is a well-preserved Italianate brick duplex. Built in 1876, it is one a few buildings of this type left in the town. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It is currently the home of Court Street Financial Services.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Court Street is a short one-block predominantly residential street paralleling Broad Street, the main street through the center of Windsor. Number 44 is on the west side of the street. It is a two-story structure, four bays wide, with a low-pitch hip roof with deep overhanging eaves. A two-story ell projects from the north side; a single-story one from the south. The entrances to the separate units are on the north and south sides, sheltered by small porches with chamfered square posts and Italianate brackets in the eaves. Windows are set in segmented-arch openings, with brick headers and brownstone sills; the entrances are also in segmented-arch openings.</p><br>
<p>The duplex was built c. 1874 for H. Sidney Hayden, a local developer, as a rental property. Hayden was responsible for doing a significant amount of residential construction in and around the town center. He bequeathed the property to his sister when he died.</p><br>
<p>The former First Church of Christ, Scientist, located at 2704 Monroe Street, in Toledo, Ohio, is an historic building built in 1898. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1978, at which date the building was Universal Community Church.</p><br>
<p>First Church of Christ, Scientist, Toledo, now holds services at 4647 West Central Avenue at Corey Road in Ottawa Hills.</p><br>
<p>The building at 14 Maple Avenue in Windsor, Connecticut, United States, is a Former Fire Station of the town. It was built about 1882, and was the town&#39;s first purpose-built firehouse. Now converted to commercial use, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Windsor&#39;s former fire station stands far back on the north side of Maple Avenue, with a small parking area in front and buildings facing Broad Street to its east. It is a brick structure, 2-1/2 stories in height. On its main facade, the former garage entrance for the fire truck, which was an elliptically arched opening, has been filled in with a square plate glass window and brickwork filling the arch above. The main doorway is to the right, set in a rectangular opening along with a four-light transom window; it is also topped by a blind arch. Above these, and extending into the gable, is a three-part Palladian window, each section with a round-arch top. The front gable eave is adorned with brick dentil work. The west side wall is topped by a small gabled wall dormer.</p><br>
<p>The station was built about 1882 on land donated by H. Sidney Hayden. In addition to being the town&#39;s first fire station, it is a fine local example of Victorian styling in brick. It served as a fire station until 1939, and was converted to commercial use in 1973. It is now the home of Gottier Investments.</p><br>
<p>South Schraalenburgh Church, also known as South Presbyterian Church, was founded 1723 in Bergenfield, Bergen County, New Jersey, United States, as a Dutch Reformed church, as an alternative place of worship, as the nearest church was located in Hackensack. The square sanctuary was completed in 1728, with a new sanctuary  completed in 1799. Opposing elements within the congregation split with the mainstream and founded the North Schraalenburgh Reformed Church in 1801.</p><br>
<p>In 1913 the church joined the Presbyterian Church, and changed their name to the South Presbyterian Church.</p><br>
<p>Schraalenburgh North Church, also known as North Church and as The Old North Reformed Church or Old Reformed Church, was founded in 1801 as a Dutch Reformed Church, in present-day Dumont, Bergen County, New Jersey, United States. The congregation was made up of those who originally were members of the South Schraalenburgh Church.</p><br>
<p>The cemetery contains burials of parishioners up to 1911, and a list of interments has been transcribed on the Internet by Bob Winship. As "North Church", the church was added to the National Register of Historic Places on May 26, 1983.</p><br>
<p>The Benjamin P. Westervelt House, located at 253 County Road in Cresskill, Bergen County, New Jersey, was the home of Benjamin P. Westervelt, a member of the local militia during the American Revolutionary War. The main wing of the Dutch Colonial-style house was built by Westervelt in 1808, but the Westervelt family has continuously occupied the site since at least 1778.</p><br>
<p>The house, which has been used as a background in several films, was listed on New Jersey Register of Historic Places in 1980, and the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>

<p>The John Ross House is a historic house at Lake Avenue and Spring Street in Rossville, Georgia. It was the home of the long-serving Cherokee Nation leader John Ross from 1830 to 1838, after his lands and fine home near the Coosa River had been taken by the state.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The John Ross House is located near Rossville&#39;s downtown, on the south side of a lane joining Andrew Street and East Lake Avenue. Its location is not original; it was moved a short distance, from a more central downtown location, in the 1960s. The house is a two-story log structure with a dogtrot plan, consisting of two log pens flanking a first-floor breezeway, all covered by a low-pitch wood shingle gable roof. The logs are chinked with modern cement. The left pen measures 16 x, and contains one room, as does the larger right pen, which measures 16 x. A single-story log-rail porch extends across the front facade.</p><br>
<p>According to legend, the house was built near Missionary Ridge in 1797 by John McDonald, a Scots immigrant to the area who had married a Cherokee woman. Dendrochronology dating, however, suggests that the house was built in 1816–1817, likely by John Ross. The entire area was at the time Cherokee land. McDonalds grandson, John Ross, inherited the land where the house was built in 1809 from his uncle, William Shorey. John Ross became chief of the Cherokee in 1828, leading a political faction within the tribe that opposed state and federal taking of the Cherokee lands, and of the Cherokee Removal. Ross was dispossessed of his own home by the states takeover of those lands in 1830, and moved into the house of his grandfather, living there until 1838. Ross was a leading figure in the adoption of the Cherokee Constitution of 1827, and represented the tribe in its unsuccessful legal efforts to retain its lands.</p><br>
<p>The city of Rossville, chartered in 1905, is named for John Ross. The Ross House is one of the oldest in the area, having survived the American Civil War, in which it was used as a hospital by both sides. The Chief John Ross House Association was formed in the 1950s to preserve the house, which had fallen into disrepair and was becoming surrounded by commercial development. It was moved in the 1960s to its present parklike setting.</p><br>

<p>The Robert Toombs House State Historic Site is a historic property located at 216 East Robert Toombs Avenue in Washington, Georgia. It was the home of Robert Toombs , a USA representative and USA senator from Georgia who originally opposed Southern secession but later became a Confederate Cabinet official and then a Confederate general during the American Civil War. Operated as a state historic site, the 19th-century period historic house museum features exhibits about the life of Toombs. The house was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1973.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Robert Toombs House State Historic Site is located on the east side of Washington, on the south side of East Robert Toombs Avenue. It is a two-story wood-frame structure, fronted by a two-story colonnade of fluted Doric columns. Its main entrance is flanked by sidelight windows and topped by a transom. The interior of the house has been decorated to reflect its mid-19th century occupation by Robert Toombs, and includes his private library. The house was built sometime between 1794 and 1801 by Doctor Joel Abbott, and was acquired in 1837 by Toombs. Toombs is credited with a number of alterations, including the front colonnade and the west wing.</p><br>
<p>Robert Toombs was one of the American Souths prominent pre-Civil War orators. Although he supported the extension of slavery into the territories, he also opposed the breakup of the country, and was a major supporter of the Compromise of 1850. When the American Civil War began in 1861, he became the Confederate States of Americas Secretary of State, but resigned over differences with President Jefferson Davis, and entered the Confederate Army. He fled the country at the end of the war, eventually returning to a successful law practice.</p><br>

<p>William Scarbrough House is a historic house in Savannah, Georgia. Built in 1819, and subjected to a number later alterations, it is nationally significant as an early example of Greek Revival architecture, and is one of the few surviving American works of architect William Jay. The house was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1973. It is now home to the Ships of the Sea Maritime Museum, and it has largely been restored to an early 19th-century appearance.</p><br>
<p>The house was built for William Scarbrough, one of the principal owners of the SS Savannah, which in 1819 became the first steamship in the world to cross the Atlantic Ocean.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The Scarbrough House is located on the west side of central Savannah, on the west side of Martin Luther King, Jr., Boulevard, between Orange Street and West Bryant Street. It is now set close to the street, its original front yard having been lost due to widening of the road. It is a two-story masonry structure, with walls of brick that has been stuccoed and scored to resemble stone blocks. The building is set on a raised basement, and had a low-pitch hip roof over its front section, and another similar roof over the rear section, which housed the ballroom. The roof is obscured by the presence of a low parapet. The entrance consists of a raised platform, accessed by stairs at the sides, above which is a tall single-story portico, supported by four smooth Doric columns. The portico&#39;s entablature is continued around the building as a string course. Above the portico is a large semi-round opening with a pair of French doors at the center, providing access to the balcony atop the portico. The interior spaces of the building retain rehabilitated (and in some cases reconstructed) decorative elements from the period of initial construction.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The house was built in 1819 for William Scarbrough, a prominent and successful Savannah merchant and shipowner. It was designed by William Jay, an Englishman who settled in Savannah in 1817, and is credited with a number of high-profile designs in the city, of which this is one of three that survive. The house underwent a number of alterations, including the addition (and later removal during restoration) of a third floor, and was from 1873 to 1962 owned by the city, which housed the West Broad Street Colored School here. The house was then acquired by the Historic Savannah Foundation, which modernized its systems and undertook some restorative steps. The house was turned over to the Telfair Museums in 1990, and in the early 1990s it underwent further rehabilitation and adaptation for use as a museum. In 1994 it was turned over to the Ships of the Sea Maritime Museum.</p><br>
<p>The Scarbroughs hosted James Monroe, the sitting fifth United States president, in 1819.</p><br>
<h2>Ships of the Sea Maritime Museum</h2><br>
<p>The Ships of the Sea Maritime Museum, founded in 1966, features nine galleries of ship models, maritime paintings and artifacts that reflect Savannah&#39;s maritime heritage. Ship models include the SS Savannah (a ship owned by William Scarbrough), HMS Anne, the ship that carried James Oglethorpe and the first settlers of Georgia in 1732, The Wanderer, a ship that brought slaves from Africa to the United States in 1858, and RMS Titanic.</p><br>
<p>The museum also features 2 acre of gardens derived from a typical 19th century parlor garden design. In 1974, Savannah Landscape Architect Clermont Huger Lee prepared plans for the Waring Memorial Garden, tenant courtyards and off-street parking area.</p><br>
<p>The Benjamin DuBois Stone House, also known as the Captain Martin Stone House is located at 347 West Main Street, Catskill, New York, on the west side of Catskill Creek. It is significant for its architecture and historically for its relation to the settlement of the area. The Dubois family were some of the original white settlers of the town. The house was built in the 1740s. After passing out of the DuBois family, it was owned by Captain Martin, who made extensive renovations to the house in the mid nineteenth century. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1995. It differs from the DuBois Stone House, though they are both listed at the same address on their National Register of Historic Places nomination forms. The pictures attached to the two forms are of different structures.</p><br>
<p>The DuBois Stone House is located at 347 West Main Street, in Catskill, New York, on the west side of Catskill Creek. It was built in 1762 by Huybartus DuBois and Cornelius DuBois, sons of Benjamin DuBois, one of the original white settlers of the area. It is significant for its late 18th-century architecture and as the home of Huybartus DuBois and his family.</p><br>
<p>After passing out of the DuBois family, the house was owned by the Washburn Brick Company, and the Union Free School District Number 1. In the 1940s it was used as a classroom for Home Economics. Later, it was used as administrative offices. The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1995. In 2008, it is again a private residence.</p><br>
<p>This house differs from the Benjamin DuBois Stone House-Captain Martin Stone House, though the National Register of Historic Places nomination forms place them both at this address (likely due to the fact that both houses are currently situated on the grounds of the local high school). The pictures attached to the nominations are of different houses.</p><br>
<p>This house also differs from the 1762 stone house at 281 West Main Street which served as the home of Cornelius DuBois and was the site of a local celebration of the surrender of General Charles Cornwallis at Yorktown.</p><br>

<p>The La Grange Historic District is a national historic district located in La Grange, North Carolina, United States. The district, originally encompassing 225 buildings and 1 structure, includes the historic commercial, residential, and industrial center of La Grange. The buildings include notable examples of Gothic Revival, Queen Anne and Bungalow/American Craftsman styles of architecture and date between the 1850s and the 1940s. Located in the district is the separately listed La Grange Presbyterian Church. Other notable buildings include the Sutton-Kinsey House , Walter Pace House , Sutton-Fields House , Colonel A. C. Davis House , and the Rouse Banking Company Building . The historic district was added to the National Register of Historic Places in May 2000.</p><br>
<p>The boundaries of the historic district are approximately Caswell, James, Carey, Washington, Caswell, and Forbes Streets. The most prominent houses are located along Railroad Street. South Caswell Street is where the one block commercial center is located. Some of the buildings on this block have been demolished or in need of serious repair. Two prominent sites previously designated as contributing properties were La Grange Elementary School on West Washington Street, which was demolished in 2006, and the Hardy-Newsome Industrial Complex, a collection of buildings on West Railroad Street that were demolished in the 2010s.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>The historic district of La Grange is predominantly located along two of the streets in town, Caswell Street and Railroad Street. Many of the buildings on these two streets are commercial properties. There are houses on North Caswell and all along West and East Railroad Street, except for the intersection with South Caswell Street. There are large trees and landscaping in the residential areas, complementing the small-town nature of the historic district.</p><br>
<p>The northern end of the historic district, which encompasses approximately 25 blocks, begins just above the intersection of Hadley Street and North Caswell Street. The boundary heads south, running behind the property lines of buildings along the east side of North Cameron Street. The boundary then heads east, behind buildings facing East Railroad Street and ends before North Carey Street. It then crosses the street and railroad tracks to include buildings on the south side of East Railroad Street. This continues until reaching the properties along South Cameron Street, where the boundary heads south. At East Boundary Street, the boundary crosses the road and heads south for around half a block.</p><br>
<p>It then heads slightly west before turning north again, running behind the property lines of buildings on West Boundary Street, until just past the intersection with South Charles Street. The boundary turns north on South Charles Street and takes a turn west to include the buildings along West Railroad Street. The boundary goes west until crossing School Street. It crosses West Railroad Street and includes buildings that are on the north side of the railroad tracks. After heading east on West Railroad Street, the boundary stops behind the property lines of buildings on North Caswell Street and heads north, stopping on the other side of Hadley Street, where the boundary began.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>La Grange, North Carolina, is a small town in western Lenoir County. The town was originally named after an area plantation, Moseley Hall. Like several towns in the area, commercial development and population growth took place after completion of the Atlantic and North Carolina Railroad in 1858. The railroad tracks began in Goldsboro, located west of the town, and ended at Morehead City on the coast. Moseley Hill was renamed La Grange in 1869 when the town was incorporated. La Grange was named after Château de la Grange-Bléneau, the home of American Revolutionary War hero, Gilbert du Motier, Marquis de Lafayette.</p><br>
<p>Agricultural and commercial products were loaded onto trains, allowing farmers and merchants to greatly increase their businesses. Before the Civil War, the surrounding farms and plantations mostly grew cotton. Prices dropped after the war, hurting the local economy. In the 1890s, area farmers began growing tobacco, a crop that would become very important to the local and state economies. By the early 20th-century, industrial equipment to process and load tobacco was located along the railroad. By the late 1910s, there were several tobacco warehouses and related buildings located along Railroad Street, none of which survive today.</p><br>
<p>In addition to tobacco industrial buildings on Railroad Street, there was the Hardy-Newsome Bean Harvester Factory, which has been demolished. The Hanly-Newsome Building, the first of several properties in the Hardy-Newsome Industrial Complex, was erected in 1918. The complex also included a company store where employees would shop. The commercial industry grew on South Cameron Street, with 22 merchants by the late 1890s. In a 1914 survey, some of the businesses located in the town included a jewelry store, clothing stores, furniture stores, grocery stores, a bank, a movie theater, and a drug store.</p><br>
<p>Along with agricultural growth once the railroad was built, commercial businesses began opening in the town, including a shoe store, contracting firms, saddle and wheelmakers, and a carriage company, Rouse Carriage Works, that would later become Rouse Funeral Home. In addition to commerce, La Grange became known for its educational institutes, with three private academies located in the town in the 1880s. One of the schools, Davis School, was a military academy, with students furthering their education and military training at the United States Military Academy and United States Naval Academy. The only building still standing from the Davis School is the A. C. Davis House on East Railroad Street.</p><br>
<p>A public school was established in 1892 and the original school building, which originally served high school students, was later renamed La Grange Elementary School. There were also churches built, including the Bear Creek Baptist Church, La Grange Presbyterian Church, La Grange Free Will Baptist Church, and a Methodist church. By the end of the 19th-century, there were eleven churches in La Grange.</p><br>
<p>The population of La Grange doubled between 1893 and 1925; with this came an array of architectural styles in houses lining Railroad and Washington Streets. The oldest homes were designed in the Greek Revival style, followed by Italianate, Queen Anne, Colonial Revival, Neoclassical, and American Craftsman. There is one Gothic Revival house in La Grange, the Shade Wooten House. Like many towns, the Great Depression damaged the local economy and smaller houses were built. There are a couple of ranch-style houses in the historic district, with most of them built between the 1930s and 1950s.</p><br>
<p>To try and preserve older buildings in the town and to note the various architectural styles displayed throughout La Grange, the central portion of the town was listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) on May 11, 2000. The La Grange Presbyterian Church had already been listed on the NRHP in 1996. At the time of the historic districts listing, it included 225 contributing properties and 1 contributing structure. There were 77 buildings, 1 site, and 2 structures that were labelled non-contributing. Despite this attempt to preserve the towns oldest structures, many buildings in the historic district, including the school and Hardy-Newsome Industrial Complex on Railroad Street, have been demolished since the La Grange Historic District was listed.</p><br>
<h2>Contributing properties</h2><br>
<h3>Commercial</h3><br>
<p>The majority of contributing properties in the historic district are located along the railroad tracks and along Caswell Street. There are additional contributing properties found along Washington Street, Boundary Street, Charles Street, Carter Street, and Wooten Street. Many of the commercial properties on South Caswell Street were built in the 1910s. They are predominantly one or two stories, some of which are in need of major repairs. The exception to the one and two-story buildings is the neoclassical Rouse Banking Company Building, constructed in 1908, and located on the corner of South Caswell and East Railroad Street.</p><br>
<p>On West Boundary Street there is a two-story frame commercial building, formerly the Friendly Mart, that was constructed around 1930. Most of the commercial properties in the historic district are located along South Caswell Street. On the east side of the street, the surviving buildings include 100-136 South Caswell Street. The corner building is one of several that were built in 1912. The remaining buildings on the west side of the street were built between 1905 and the late 1920s. Demolished buildings that were once located at 138-140 South Caswell Street include the former Kinsey General Store, built in 1880, and a commercial building constructed in the late-19th century. There is a service station at the end of the block that was built in the 1950s and is a contributing property. The non-contributing property on this side of the block is 126 South Caswell Street, which was built in the mid-20th century.</p><br>
<p>The east side of the 100 block of South Caswell Street includes buildings constructed between the late-19th century and 1915. The opposite ends of the street include the Rouse Banking Company Building at the corner of South Caswell and East Railroad Streets, and a commercial property on the corner of South Caswell and East Washington Streets. The latter has been partially demolished in the rear of the building. Between these two corner buildings are 103-137 South Caswell Street. Most of these are one-story buildings constructed in 1912. There is one non-contributing property, 127 South Caswell Street, that was built in 1912 but has been significantly altered. On the 200 block of South Caswell Street are two non-contributing commercial buildings on the west side that were constructed in the 1980s. On the east side of the block are four non-contributing commercial properties, one of which is the post office.</p><br>
<p>The vast majority of buildings and structures on North Caswell Street are residences and associated buildings. The only commercial building is Rouse Funeral Home, which is a non-contributing property. On East Railroad Street there is a non-contributing fire station. On West Railroad Street, there are a few non-contributing commercial buildings. These include a bank and an adjoining commercial property. Further west on Railroad Street is the former site of the Hardy-Newsome Industrial Complex. On the opposite end of the street stand four contributing commercial buildings, 114-120 East Railroad Street, built between 1914 and 1920.</p><br>
<h3>Residential</h3><br>
<p>The majority of the buildings in the La Grange Historic District are residential, which includes many outbuildings and garages. The oldest homes were designed in the Greek Revival style and many of the late 19th-century houses are fine examples of the Queen Anne style. Other residential styles represented include Colonial Revival, American Craftsman, and I-houses. The two oldest residences in the historic district, the Sutton-Fields House and George Taylor House, are Greek Revival and located on West Railroad Street. Both were constructed in 1852. Another older residence on the same street is the Shade Wooten House, which was built in 1860 in the Gothic Revival style.</p><br>
<p>Examples of the Queen Anne style on West Railroad Street include the Radley-Mayes House and 118 West Railroad Street. Many of the homes are bungalows or I-houses that have been modified since first being built. Some of the most notable homes on West Railroad Street in addition to the aforementioned houses include: Rouse House, Hadley-Mayes House, Dr. MacDonald House, Rouse-Joyner House, and the A. B. and Eliza Windham House. There are 14 non-contributing houses, garages, and sheds on West Railroad Street.</p><br>
<p>East Railroad is lined with historic residences, the most notable being the following: Colonel A. C. Davis House, James and Sudie Wooten House, Pinita Frazier House, Williams House, Octavius Taylor House, Griffon-Sutton House, Davis-Harper House, Leon Rouse House, and the Herman Hardy House. There are four non-contributing outbuildings on this street. On North Caswell Street stands the Walter Pace House, Sutton Jones House, Jones-Mitchell House, James F. Britt House, Dr. Wooten House, Lucy Anderon House, and the Pitts-Creech House. There are 16 non-contributing residences and outbuildings on North Caswell Street. Homes on the remaining blocks in the historic district are mostly bungalows or I-houses, except for 13 non-contributing houses, garages, and sheds.</p><br>
<h3>Religious and education</h3><br>
<p>The most prominent religious building in the historic district is La Grange Presbyterian Church, which was listed individually on the NRHP in 1986. Additional churches in the historic district include the former Free Will Baptist Church at 114 North Caswell Street, built in 1895 in the Gothic Revival style, First Missionary Baptist Church at 201 North Caswell Street, built in 1860 and expanded in 1888, La Grange United Methodist Church at 213 South Caswell Street, built in 1944, and the former Bear Creek Primitive Baptist Church at 210 West Washington Street, built in 1857 and now serving as the La Grange Garden Club headquarters, The non-contributing religious building in the historic district is La Grange Christian Church, built in 1957.</p><br>
<p>At the time of the historic district&#39;s listing, La Grange Elementary School, which previously housed the La Grange High School, was still intact. It was constructed in 1928 in the Colonial Revival style and designed by Leslie Boney. Despite being a contributing property, it was demolished in 2006 and replaced with a new facility. The A. C. Davis House on East Railroad Street is the only surviving building from the Davis School, which previously took up an entire block, and closed in 1889 due to a meningitis outbreak amongst students and staff.</p><br>
<p>The Herring House is a historic home near La Grange, Lenoir County, North Carolina. Built in the early-19th century, the Federal style farmhouse was built by one of the area&#39;s early settlers. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places  in 1973.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Herring family settled in present-day Lenoir County in the early-18th century. John Herring (1684&ndash;1760), a member of the North Carolina Colonial Assembly, received a land patent in August 1720 for property a few miles from present-day La Grange. The house is believed to have been built by either his grandson, Edward Matchet Herring (1755&ndash;1825), or great-grandson, William Herring (1779&ndash;1830). A brick in the chimney is marked "1801", most likely the year the house was constructed. It is located on a dirt lane 0.4 mile west of Ed Herring Road (State Route 1503). When Williams youngest son, Joshua James Herring, Sr., deeded the property to his son, Needham Whitfield Herring (1856&ndash;1942), on October 11, 1889, the homestead included the house and 314 acre. At the time of Herring Houses historical survey in the 1970s, the home was still owned by a Herring family member. The house was added to the NRHP on October 25, 1973.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>Herring House is a two-story Federal style wooden building on a Flemish bond foundation. The front of the five bay wide house (facing south) features a central entrance with transom and 20th century one-story porch with hip roof that continues around the east side. Two bays and a Flemish bond chimney are located on each end of the house. The brick that reads "1801" is in the west chimney. The windows of the house are somewhat narrow. The first floor windows are nine-over-nine sash while the second floor windows are nine-over-six.</p><br>
<p>There is a central hallway in the home with a large parlor on either side. The walls in the hallway are plastered but feature wainscoting on the lower portion. The plastered walls in the other rooms are lined with a molded chair rail. The open-string two flights staircase is on the left side of the main hallway. The staircase features curved brackets and square balusters. An enclosed staircase is located in the east end parlor.</p><br>
<p>McCarty Memorial Christian Church is a Gothic Revival church of the Christian Church  located at 4101 West Adams Boulevard in the West Adams Terrace neighborhood of the West Adams district in Los Angeles. McCarty was founded in 1932 as a white congregation, and gained attention when it integrated and became a multi-racial congregation in the mid-1950s.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The church was built in 1932 in the English Gothic Revival style. Among the Churchs notable features are stained glass windows with intricate Gothic tracery, arcaded ambulatories, and a 130-foot landmark tower with an elaborate open belfry. The authors of An Architectural Guidebook to Los Angeles call McCarty an excellent example of the citys reinforced-concrete churches of the late 1920s and describe the architectural style as "Gothic, partially English, and partially French."</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<h3>Early history</h3><br>
<p>The church was built and paid for by Dr. and Mrs. Isaac A. McCarty, who had traveled widely in the United States and Europe "studying church architecture against the time when they were ready to further the Kingdom of God." The church was dedicated in May 1932 on the McCartys&#39; 45th wedding anniversary. Dr. McCarty died two years later in May 1934, and his funeral was held at the church he built.</p><br>
<p>The founding pastor at McCarty was Dr. Bruce Brown, who served as the pastor until 1942 and died in 1957. Brown was succeeded by Dr. O. James Sowell, who was pastor from 1942 until 1952, when he left the church to become an evangelist. He was next followed by the Rev. James Clark Brown, who served as pastor for seven months from 1952 to 1953.</p><br>
<h3>Integration under the Rev. Kring Allen</h3><br>
<p>The Rev. Kring Allen was credited with successfully integrating the McCarty Church. Interviewed by the Los Angeles Times in 1967, Allen, who had been the pastor at McCarty since 1954, noted: "Our neighborhood is 85% Negro. Sos our church, I would guess, although I dont know. You lose your color sense when you stop thinking about it. I lost mine."</p><br>
<p>The La Grange Presbyterian Church, also known as the La Grange Rotary Club, is a historic Presbyterian church building located on Caswell Street in La Grange, Lenoir County, North Carolina. It was constructed in 1892, and is a Gothic Revival style frame building.</p><br>
<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in August 1986. It is located in the La Grange Historic District.</p><br>
<p>The Amos Eno House, also known as the Simsbury 1820 House, is a historic home at 731 Hopmeadow Street in Simsbury, Connecticut.</p><br>
<h2>Prior to Amos Eno</h2><br>
<p>The house was built in 1822 by Elisha Phelps, who was given the land by his father, Noah. Noah Phelps was a graduate of Yale University, a lawyer and a judge.</p><br>
<p>The first floor contains a center hallway with a kitchen, breakfast nook and parlor. The second floor also has a center hall and two rooms on each side. The house is decorated throughout with detailed woodwork and glass that show the wealth of the original occupants.</p><br>
<p>Elisha and his wife had three children: Mary, John, and Lucy. John grew up to be the Governor of Missouri and became a United States Senator. Mary married John Allen, and their son became a representative to the United States Congress.</p><br>
<h2>Amos Eno summer residence</h2><br>
<p>Lucy married Amos Richards Eno of Simsbury. They moved to New York City where he and a cousin opened a profitable dry goods business. Amos parlayed his profits into real estate investment in Manhattan, New York. In 1856–59 he built the famous Fifth Avenue Hotel at the corner of Fifth Avenue and 23rd Street in Manhattan. It was here that he and relatives established the Second National Bank of New York. The Eno family would visit the house in Simsbury every summer.</p><br>
<p>One of their grandchildren was Gifford Pinchot, conservationist and Governor of Pennsylvania, who was born in the house.</p><br>
<p>In 1884 scandal hit the family when one of Amos sons, John Chester, embezzled millions of dollars from his fathers bank and then fled to Canada to avoid prosecution. After settling his son&#39;s debts, Amos retreated to the family summer residence. He built additions onto it in order to accommodate visits from his large family, including numerous bedrooms and a new wing. When the expansion was complete, the house had over thirty rooms.</p><br>
<p>Amos daughter Antoinette Eno Wood who aided her disgraced brother lived in the house caring for her father. After his death she refused to leave the home and paid her brother, Amos a life tenancy to remain there. She refurbished the home and renamed it Eaglewood, a nod to her last name and to the familys patriotism. She also carried out a series of renovations on it, including landscaping by the Frederick Olmsted firm, who designed Central Park in New York. The home became a very important fixture in Simsburys social atmosphere in the summers. It overflowed with guests to the point that the house would be filled and the guest house would have to be used. She also hosted ice cream socials on the Fourth of July. She also hosted a meeting of the Connecticut Womans Suffrage League in the home. Present at this meeting was Katharine Houghton Hepburn, mother of actress Katharine Hepburn.</p><br>
<h2>After the Eno Family</h2><br>
<p>Upon her death, the house was passed through her brother Amos Frederick&#39;s will to his minor nephew, who eventually sold it. It became a restaurant, then was sold to a developer, who built a community on the property. The town of Simsbury purchased the house in 1960 but did little to maintain it except to paint it in 1976 for the bicentennial. Finally, in 1985, extensive restoration was done to the inside and out.</p><br>
<h2>Current use</h2><br>
<p>The house is now an inn, cafe and reception hall that hosts wedding parties up to 120 people.</p><br>
<h2>Eno Family legacy</h2><br>
<p>The Eno family made many contributions to the town of Simsbury, including:</p><br>
<p>The Simsbury Free Library was started with money from a trust by Amos Eno</p><br>
<p>Eno Memorial Hall was built with money given by Antoinette Eno Wood as a memorial to her parents. It used to serve as the town hall; now it is home to the Social Services Department, the local chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution, Simsbury Community Television and the Simsbury Senior Center.</p><br>
<p>The Capt. Elisha Phelps House was owned by Elisha Phelps, brother of Noah Phelps. It served as a tavern and museum from 1786 to 1849. It is now the Phelps Tavern Museum.</p><br>
<p>The Town Farm Dairy of Simsbury was donated by Amos R. Eno to be used as a poor farm for citizens in need. The farm originally produced vegetables, dairy, chickens and tobacco. Currently, it is a dairy farm, and the residence is used for affordable housing.</p><br>
<p>Stallings Island is an archeological site with a large shell midden, located in the Savannah River near Augusta, Georgia. The site is the namesake for the Stallings culture of the Late Archaic period and for Stallings fiber-tempered pottery, the oldest known pottery in North America. The site was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1961. Stallings Island pottery found in coastal Georgia was formerly called St. Simons pottery, but is now recognized as Stallings Island.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Stallings Island is located upriver of Augusta, in an area known as the Ninety-Nine Islands, just downriver of the mouth of Stevens Creek. The island was occupied from about 2600 B.C.E. to about 2000 B.C.E., and again from about 1800 B.C.E. to 1400 B.C.E. The site was occupied during the first period by people of the Paris Island (ca. 2500-2200 B.C.E.) and Mill Branch (ca. 2200-1800 B.C.E.) phases, pre-ceramic traditions that harvested large numbers of freshwater mussels. During the second period the site was occupied by people of the Classic Stallings culture, who used decorated pottery. The earliest, undecorated, Stallings ceramics first appeared at other sites while Stallings Island itself was unoccupied. The site represents a transitional period, in which hunter-gatherer culture was gradually replaced by more sedentary village and agriculture-based lifestyles.</p><br>
<p>The island was identified as an archaeological site in 1861, and has been the subject of several scientific excavations. It has also been subject to extensive looting, and was listed for many years as a threatened landmark. The island was acquired by the Archaeological Conservancy in 1998.</p><br>
<p>Stallings Island Middle School in Martinez, GA was named after this site.</p><br>
<h2>Pottery</h2><br>
<p>After 2500 BCE, shards of some of the oldest pottery in the region entered the archaeologic record. Known as Stallings Fiber Tempered Pottery, the bowls were tempered with Spanish moss, which left a porous surface after firing. Fragments of the fiber tempered pottery have been found across Stallings Island. These pottery sherds are characterized by the jab and drag designs engraved on the outside of the vessels. These designs were made using a stylus that poked a design through the wet clay then dragged along the exterior until being inserted again. This process is believed to have been executed by women, and the orientation signals whether the creator was right or left handed. The design of Stalling pottery with flat bottoms came from their old ways of cooking, which consisted of using heated soapstone rocks in liquid-filled baskets to make soups/food.</p><br>
<h3>Gender and pottery</h3><br>
<p>Classic Stallings culture is understood to be female dominant. The prominence of pottery in the Stallings is on trend with the global pattern of women producing and utilizing pottery more than men. There is a theory surrounding the decorating of the pottery and the handedness of the decorators that suggests the skills of decorating pottery were passed down from one generation of women to the next.</p><br>
<p>The Tupper-Barnett House  is a historic house located at 101 US 78B in Washington, Georgia. Built as a high-end Federal style residence, it was augmented about 1860 with one of the nation&#39;s finest examples of a full peristyle Greek Revival colonnade. It was declared a National Historic Landmark on November 7, 1973.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>It stands near the center of Washington, at the northwest corner of United States Route 78B and Allison Street. It is a two-story wood-framed structure, set on a high foundation. It is completely encircled by a two-story colonnade of fluted Doric columns, which are supported by brick piers, providing a covered walkway under the porch. Access to the main entrance is provided by a projecting open porch with stairs extending to the sides. Its main facade behind the colonnade is five bays wide, with the main entrance in the center bay, flanked by sidelight windows and topped by an arched transom window. Above the entrance is a second door with similar styling, which opens onto an iron balcony.</p><br>
<p>The interior of the house follows a typical Federal period center hall plan, with a pair of rooms on each side on each floor. The front parlors on the main floor have exceptionally high quality woodwork with elaborate details, while other rooms have simpler detail but still high quality.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The house was built around 1832 by William H. Pope, and eventually came into the ownership of Henry Tupper, who in about 1860 added the colonnade. This work was done in such a seamless way that it is difficult to discern that it was in fact a later addition. In the early 20th century the house was owned by Edward Augustus Barnett, a mayor of Washington.</p><br>
<p>Meadow Garden is a historic house museum at 1320 Independence Drive in Augusta, Georgia. It was a home of Founding Father George Walton , one of Georgia&#39;s three signers of the USA Declaration of Independence. Walton was later elected governor of Georgia and also served as a United States senator. Meadow Garden was saved by the Daughters of the American Revolution, who established it as a museum in 1901. The house was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1981.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Meadow Garden is located on the west side of downtown Augusta, separated from the Augusta Canal by the Augusta Canal Historic Walking Trail, and just east of the Sutherland Mill. It is a -story wood-frame structure, set on a high brick basement. It was built in stages, originally three bays in width, but is now six, with three gabled dormers and two chimneys projecting from the gabled roof. A shed-roof porch extends across the front, supported by slender Doric columns. The facade is irregularly arranged, with two doors and four windows.</p><br>
<p>It is a Sand Hills cottage.</p><br>
<p>The oldest portion of the house, its right three bays, was built in 1791. The left three bays were added sometime after 1800, and the front porch was also probably added at a later date. Although the property was never owned by him, it was from 1791 to his death in 1804 the home of George Walton, a signer of the United States Declaration of Independence. Trained as a lawyer, he served in the Continental Congress (1776–1781) and in the Georgia militia, in whose service he was captured by the British during the 1778 Capture of Savannah. Exchanged and released, he was soon afterward elected Governor of Georgia, an office he held from November 1779 to January 1780. He also served as the state&#39;s Chief Justice, and in a second term as Governor 1789–80. He died at College Hill, his country house, in 1804. The house passed out of the Walton family in 1812, and is now owned and operated as a museum by the local chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution.</p><br>
<p>It was documented by the Historic American Buildings Survey in 1934-35. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976, and further was promoted to a National Historic Landmark in 1981.</p><br>

<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in September 2006.</p><br>
<p>Warm Springs Historic District is a historic district in Warm Springs, Georgia, United States. It includes Franklin Delano Roosevelt&#39;s Little White House and the Roosevelt Warm Springs Institute for Rehabilitation, where Roosevelt indulged in its warm springs. Other buildings in the district tend to range from the 1920s and 1930s. Much of the district looks the same as it did when Roosevelt frequented the area.</p><br>
<p>Evidence indicates that the springs were used by prehistoric people, and, as when Roosevelt used the springs, the temperature was 89 &deg;F.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Residents of Savannah, Georgia, began spending vacations at Bullochville in the late 18th century as a way to escape yellow fever, finding the number of warm springs in the vicinity of Bullochville very attractive. In the 1880s and 1890s, traveling to the warm springs was a way to get away from Atlanta, and many prosperous Southerners vacationed there. Traveling by railroad to Durand, they would then go to Bullochville. One of the places benefiting from this was the Meriwether Inn. Once the automobile became popular in the early 20th century, tourists began going elsewhere, starting the decline of the inn.</p><br>
<p>Franklin Delano Roosevelt first visited Warm Springs in October 1924. He went to a resort in the town whose attraction was a permanent 88-degree natural spring, but whose main house, the Meriwether Inn, was described as "ramshackle". Roosevelt bought the resort and the 1,700 acre farm surrounding it in 1927. It was around this time that Bullochville was renamed Warm Springs. Roosevelt traveled to the area frequently, including 16 times while he was President of the United States, and he died in the district on April12, 1945, at his Little White House, which he had built in 1932.</p><br>
<p>He founded the Institute after hearing about a boy who had regained the use of his legs, through a treatment known as hydrotherapy, which involves the use of water for soothing pains and treating diseases. The operations of the Institute were paid for by the Foundation for Infantile Paralysis, which later became the March of Dimes.</p><br>
<p>It is now the Roosevelt Warm Springs Institute for Rehabilitation, a comprehensive rehabilitation facility operated by the state of Georgia. A center for post-polio treatment, it provides vocational rehabilitation, long-term acute care, and inpatient rehabilitation for amputees and people recovering from spinal cord injuries, brain damage and stroke.</p><br>
<p>While the original historic pools are not generally open to the public, the Little White House / DNR opens the waters once a year to the public on Labor Day Weekend. They allow four groups of people in a day for a one and a half hour swim.</p><br>
<p>The main building of the Roosevelt Warm Springs Institute is Georgia Hall, built in 1933 to replace the old Meriwether Inn, which was torn down as it was too dilapidated to successfully renovate to then-modern conditions. Roosevelt often hosted Thanksgiving dinners in its dining hall for those who were using the springs. For much of its existence, the institute was the only such facility "exclusively devoted" to polio patients.</p><br>
<p>It was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1980.</p><br>
<h2>Cultural references</h2><br>
<p>In 2005, the Warm Springs Institute was featured in the television movie Warm Springs, which details FDR&#39;s struggle with his paralytic illness, his discovery of the Georgia spa resort, his work to turn it into a center for the aid of polio victims, and the subsequent resumption of his political career.</p><br>
<p>The Perry Farm is an intact, historic African-American farm complex in Riley Hill, North Carolina, a suburb of Raleigh. The farm house was built in 1820 by John and Nancy Perry, white slaveholders of several slaves during the Antebellum period of the South.</p><br>
<p>After the Civil War ended, a freedman named Feggins Perry made arrangements with his former enslavers to work the land as a tenant farmer. Each night after work, Feggins made baskets and furniture for extra money so he and his brother could buy land, which was the prime goal of many freedmen. Feggins Perry also helped establish the nearby Riley Hill Baptist Church for freedmen.</p><br>
<p>In 1914, Feggins&#39; son Guyon Perry purchased Perry Farm. The property remains in the family to this day.</p><br>
<p>Perry Farm was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in August 1994 as significant in African-American social history.</p><br>
<p>The Frank and Mary Smith House is a historic home located at 2935 John Adams Road in Willow Spring, Wake County, North Carolina, a suburb of Raleigh.

It is sheathed in weatherboard, has a triple-A-roof, and a tall shed addition and hip-roofed front porch.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in July 2005.</p><br>
<p>Oaky Grove is a historic house located in Shotwell, Wake County, North Carolina, a suburb of Raleigh. Built in 1818 by Thomas Price, Oaky Grove has been home to generations of the Price, Blake, and Doub families. Before the Civil War, the Price plantation consisted of 4,500 acre of farm land. Today, the 28 acre property is owned by the Doubs family and contains the two-story Federal style home, a smokehouse, barn, and the family cemetery.</p><br>
<p>In September 1993, Oaky Grove was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>Fountain Hall, formerly Fairchild Hall and Stone Hall, is a historic academic building on the grounds of Morris Brown College in Atlanta, Georgia. Built in 1882, it is the oldest surviving building originally associated with Atlanta University—now Clark Atlanta University—which is the first of all historically black colleges and universities in the American South founded September 19, 1865. It was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1974. It is now named after Bishop William A. Fountain.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Fountain Hall is located southwest of downtown Atlanta, in the Atlanta University Center area, on the campus of Morris Brown College. It is set on the south side of Martin Luther King, Jr., Boulevard SW, between Sunset Avenue and Vine Street. The building is a -story masonry structure, built out of red brick. It is capped by a hip roof, and has a five-story tower rising above its recessed entrance. The building was designed by the Swedish-American architect G. L. Norrman in the High Victorian Gothic style.</p><br>
<p>Atlanta University was founded September 19, 1865, chartered October 17, 1867; offered first instruction at postsecondary level 1869; first graduating class 1873, (normal school for future teachers including women); and awarded its first six bachelors degrees June 1876. One woman earned a bachelors degree from Atlanta University between 1876 and 1895. Seven women received bachelors degrees from Atlanta University between 1895 and 1900. Atlanta University awarded bachelors degrees 53 years (1876–1929) before exclusively offering graduate degrees. In 1929–30, it began offering graduate education exclusively in various liberal arts areas, and in the social and natural forensics. and opened in 1869 by a missionary society, to provide a high-quality advanced education to southern African Americans. The school offered undergraduate and graduate-level education until 1929, when it became solely a graduate school, working in affiliation with the other schools in the Atlanta University Center. Stone Hall, the most prominent building on its campus, was built in 1882, and housed administrative offices and classrooms. The school produced a large number of prominent African American leaders in business, education and politics. Dr. W.E.B. Du Bois was the most distinguished members of the faculty. Stone Hall was in 1929 deeded to Morris Brown College, which renamed it first to Fairchild Hall and then Fountain Hall.</p><br>
<h2>Restoration campaign</h2><br>
<p>In 2019, the Atlanta chapter of the Association for the Study of African American Life and History started a "Friends of Fountain" financial campaign to stabilize and preserve Fountain Hall, with the intention of eventually renovating the space as "an academic building and Civil Rights interpretive gallery."</p><br>
<p>In July 2019, the National Park Service awarded the college $500,000 to help restore the building.</p><br>
<p>The Telfair Academy is a historic mansion at 121 Barnard Street in Savannah, Georgia. It was designed by William Jay and built in 1818, and is one of a small number of Jay&#39;s surviving works. It is one of three sites owned by Telfair Museums. Originally a family townhouse belonging to the Telfair family, it became a free art museum in 1886, and thus one of the first 10 art museums in America, and the oldest public art museum in the South. Its first director, elected in 1883, was artist Carl Ludwig Brandt, who spent winters in Savannah. It was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1976.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture and history</h2><br>
<p>Telfair Academy is located in historic central Savannah, on the west side of Telfair Square. It occupies an entire block, bounded by Barnard, West President, North Jefferson, and West State Streets. It is a two-story masonry structure, built out of brick finished in stucco. Its entrance is a form typical of architect William Jay, with a projecting four-column portico that is accessed via side-facing stairs. The columns are of a composite order, and the porticos entablature is continued around the building as a stringcourse. Unlike the symmetrical exterior, the interior of the house is asymmetrical, its unusually shaped rooms including an octagonal drawing room, round-ended dining room, and long drawing room with rounded ends. The buildings west wing is its former carriage house, which was adapted in the 1880s as part of the building&#39;s conversion to a museum, and has fine Adam style woodwork.</p><br>
<p>The house was designed by William Jay and built in 1818 for Alexander Telfair, son of Edward Telfair, one of Georgias early post-independence governors. The site on which it was built previously housed the official residence of Georgias colonial royal governors. In 1875 Alexander&#39;s sister, Mary, bequeathed the house, including its furnishings and family collections, to the Georgia Historical Society, which opened the first art museum in the southeastern United States here in 1886. The house was remodeled and expanded to be a museum by architect Detlef Lienau.</p><br>
<h2>Collection</h2><br>
<p>Telfair Academy features furnished period rooms that highlight the museum&#39;s collection of decorative arts and many family furnishings including beautiful 19th and 20th century American and European paintings and sculptures. In front of the building are statues of Rembrandt, Rubens, Phidias, Raphael, and Michelangelo (see the link to Commons below).</p><br>
<h3>Savannah artists</h3><br>
<p>In addition to these works from notable European and American artists, Telfair Academy houses fine and decorative artworks representing Savannah&#39;s history and from native Savannah artists.</p><br>
<p>Myrtle Jones - self-taught streetscape and portrait painter; studied briefly at the Telfair Academy of Arts and Sciences under Emil Holzhauer and others.</p><br>
<p>Frederick Marquand- silversmith and President of Marquand and Co. worked in Savannah, and moved to Southport, Connecticut where he was instrumental in the founding of noted special collections institution Pequot Library.</p><br>
<p>The Southern Railway Spencer Shops are a former locomotive repair facility in Spencer, North Carolina. The shops were one of the Southern Railway&#39;s primary maintenance facilities. The shops were built in the 1890s and named after Southern Railway president Samuel Spencer. Following dieselization, the need for the Spencer Shops diminished, and the facilities were decommissioned in the 1970s. The Spencer Shops and associated land were donated by the Southern Railway to the state of North Carolina, which established the North Carolina Transportation Museum on the site.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Southern Railway officially opened the shops on October 19, 1896. In 1905 a back shop was opened in Spencer, enabling the facility to overhaul 10 to 15 locomotives at one time. The original shops included a 15-stall roundhouse 194 feet in diameter; a machine shop 204 by 100 feet with annexes for the engine room, tool room, and grinding room; a combination forge and boiler shop 204 by 90 feet; a planing mill 204 by 90 feet with annexes for the boiler room, engine room, office, and shaving tower (used to reclaim wood shavings for fuel); two car repair sheds, each 120 by 50 feet; a storehouse 150 by 40 feet; and sheds for iron, lumber, paint, and oil storage. The buildings were heated by hot air and lighted by electricity from the powerhouse. Two Chicago Pneumatic Tool Company air compressors furnished compressed air for the traveling cranes, hoists, and machinery. Most shops had not yet adopted electricity for tools and machinery, so they were still powered by a system of shafts, pulleys, and belts.</p><br>
<p>In 1924, a 37-stall roundhouse and 100 foot-long electric turntable were opened that still stands. A coaling tower was erected in the 1920s to replace the coaling dock near the classification yard.</p><br>
<h3>Later history</h3><br>
<p>Throughout the 1940s and early 1950s, Southern Railway used the Spencer Shops as its main repair facility for diesel locomotives on eastern lines operating in the Carolinas, Virginia, and Georgia. The shops ceased working on steam engines in 1953, when the railway company phased them out. In the mid-1950s the railway began terminating some jobs and moving workers to other facilities, and by 1960 only the roundhouse and repair shed were still in use by less than 100 workers. Most of the work was concentrated in more modern shops in Atlanta and Chattanooga. The unused buildings were not maintained and their physical condition rapidly declined. By 1965, the blacksmith shop, boiler shop, and woodworking shop had been demolished. The workforce decreased into the 1970s and was confined to conducting minor repairs and refueling for diesel locomotives operating out of Spencer Yard. In 1979 Southern Railway opened Linwood Terminal, a hump yard with repair facilities several miles north in Linwood, and Spencer Shops was closed.</p><br>
<h3>Creation of museum and preservation</h3><br>
<p>In 1977, the Southern Railway donated the back shop, master mechanic&#39;s office, a warehouse, and the flue shop buildings to the state of North Carolina to support the creation of the North Carolina Transportation Museum. The rest of the Spencer property, including the car repair shed and oil house, was handed over two years later after the shops were closed. The museum opened to the public in 1983.</p><br>
<p>The Deacon John Moore House is a historic house at 37 Elm Street in Windsor, Connecticut. The oldest portion of the house was built in 1664, making it one of the oldest houses in the state. It has been altered and renovated, but retains its original frame and other elements. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1977.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Deacon John Moore House stands just outside the village center of Windsor, on the south side of Elm Street roughly midway between Broad Street and Spring Street. It is a -story timber-frame structure, with a steeply pitched gable roof and clapboarded exterior. The second story projects beyond the first in the colonial garrison style. The ground floor is five bays across, with two sash windows on either side of the center entrance. The entrance, a modern replacement, is flanked by sidelight windows. The second floor is three bays across, with equally spaced sash windows.</p><br>
<p>The house was built about 1664, and originally stood facing the Windsor Green at the corner of Broad and Elm Streets. It was probably moved once around 1805, and again to its present location in 1897. At that time it retained its eastern-facing orientation; it was rotated in 1938 to face the street.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>John Moore was likely the brother of Thomas Moore. Both men were born in England and moved to Windsor. They arrived from England on the ship Mary and John and landed in Dorchester, Massachusetts in 1630 with two prominent ministers of the time, John Maverick and John Warham. In 1635, part of the group moved to Windsor, Connecticut, but the Moores remained in Dorchester until 1639.</p><br>
<p>In 1651, John Moore was ordained a deacon. He was made deputy governor of Connecticut under John Winthrop. Moore had one son named John Moore Jr, and four daughters: Elizabeth Moore (married to Nathaniel Loomis); Abagail Moore (married to Thomas Bissell); Mindwell Moore (married to Nathaniel Bissell); and Hannah Moore (married to John Drake Jr.).</p><br>
<p>In addition to being a deacon, John Moore was also a successful woodworker. He was, and still is, known for using the foliated vine design, which depicts vines and blossoms carved in shallow relief with flat surfaces. There was a network of families in Windsor who dominated the woodworking trade, and John Moore was considered to be at the center.</p><br>
<p>The Carl Mackley Houses, also originally known as Juniata Park Housing, is a private apartment complex in the Juniata neighborhood of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Built in 1933–1934 as single-family apartments, it opened in 1935. The project was sponsored by the American Federation of Full Fashioned Hosiery Workers, with financing by the Housing Division of the Public Works Administration, of which it was the first funded project. The complex was named for a striking hosiery worker killed by non-union workers during the H.C. Aberle Company strike in 1930.</p><br>
<p>The complex was designed in the International Style by Oscar Stonorov and Alfred Kastner. Since neither designer was a registered architect, they enlisted Philadelphia architect William Pope Barney (1890–1970) as the architect of record.</p><br>
<p>The five-building complex covers an entire city block, bounded by Castor Avenue, Bristol, M, and Cayuga Streets. Four of the buildings, of three stories, each contain 71 one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments, in six different layouts, above underground garages. The fifth building, originally a community center, now houses a laundry. The complex originally featured a swimming pool and wading pool, since filled in, and is now operated by private investors as rental apartments.</p><br>
<p>The complex was added to the Philadelphia Register of Historic Places on June 3, 1982, and the National Register of Historic Places in 1998. It won a Landmark Building Award from the American Institute of Architects in 2000.</p><br>
<p>The Bennett Bunn Plantation is a historic farm near Zebulon, North Carolina, a suburb of Raleigh. The plantation, located beside US 264 in eastern Wake County, consists of a two-story house, built in 1833, barns, and 162 acre of farmland and forests. The property was owned by generations of the Bunn family until 2000 when Grace Hutchins, great-granddaughter of Bennet Bunn, sold the property for $1.9 million . The home is still used as a private residence and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in February 1986.</p><br>
<p>Bennett Bunn inherited the land from his father in the 1820s. He lived in a log cabin on the property until he had raised enough money to construct the house. With the use of 16 enslaved people, Bunn grew wheat and corn, and raised livestock. Each generation left the property to the youngest daughter. After Hutchins inherited the land, she renovated the house by installing electricity and plumbing, as well as adding a kitchen, sunroom, and bathrooms.</p><br>
<p>The Bennett Bunn house is an example of Federal architecture, a popular style for homes during the Antebellum period of the South. The driveway is lined with cedar trees that were planted in the 1920s by Alac and Avon Bunn.</p><br>
<p>During the Civil War, a robber threw a torch through a front window of the house. The mark left by the torch hitting the floor is still visible. A mantel clock that was given to the Bunns by a Union soldier is displayed in the house. The soldier had looted the clock from another location and was tired of carrying it.</p><br>
<p>A memorial to two enslaved people who died in the 1860s, Simon Bunn and Joni Piedelle, is written on one of the walls. Five enslaved people who worked at the Bunn plantation are buried in a small cemetery on the property.</p><br>
<p>The George and Neva Barbee House, also known as the Dr. G. S. Barbee House, is a historic home located at Zebulon, Wake County, North Carolina, a town near Raleigh, NC. Constructed in 1914, the two-story, brick American Foursquare house was designed in the American Craftsman / Bungalow style. It features a hipped roof with overhanging eaves, a porte cochere, a sheltered wraparound porch, and a nearly solid brick porch balustrade.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2007.</p><br>
<p>Alden B. Dow Home and Studio, also known as Alden B. Dow Home & Studio, in Midland, Michigan, is the home and studio that were the residence and acknowledged masterpiece of 20th century architect Alden B. Dow. The quality and originality of his work, as well as his association with Frank Lloyd Wright, have earned him lasting national recognition.</p><br>
<p>Construction for the first studio began in 1934, while the majority of the United States was struggling through the Great Depression. With the Dow Chemical Company located in Midland Michigan, the community had not been hit as hard as the rest of the country. Being that Alden was a child of the Dow Chemical founder, Herbert H. Dow, he had many opportunities within Midland to practice architecture. The first studio was completed in 1935 and construction for the second studio began in 1936. The second studio was completed in 1937. The studio was created as a workplace for Aldens architectural firm. As well as the two drafting rooms, there was also an entry and reception area and the sunken conference room, which sits below water level. The pond was created by diverting the stream that ran through the property. The studio portion also had a woodshop, an office and Aldens office which was the buffer between the studio and home. The woodshop has been turned into a museum with a gift shop.</p><br>
<p>Dow built his home and studio between 1937 and 1940. Throughout the home there are visible construction materials including the building blocks that were patented in 1935, "Unit Blocks". Alden Dows exploration of block construction began after graduating from the Columbia School of Architecture in 1931 and an eight-month apprenticeship at Taliesin in 1933. Alden Dow, along with Robert Goodall, one of Frank Lloyd Wrights draftsman, created a rhomboid block, mostly with a square face in 16 different sizes. This became known as Alden B. Dow&#39;s Unit Block building system. Dow used them to form walls and terraces, as well as decoration elements such as the stepping stones in the surrounding pond on the property. In addition to the unique shape and structural integrity of the building blocks, the other identifying characteristic of the Unit Blocks was that they were made of the cinder that he saw piling up outside The Dow Chemical Company furnaces. His father, Herbert Dow, had utilized this same cinder waste to construct “clinker” bridges in their family gardens (now, Dow Gardens).</p><br>
<p>It was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1989.</p><br>
<p>It was awarded the Paris Prize for Residential Architecture in 1937.</p><br>
<p>The house is open to the public for tours and abuts the Dow Gardens.</p><br>
<p>Traditional Home magazine listed the Alden B. Dow Home and Studio on a 2014 list of "The 25 Best Historic Homes in America", Great Estates: A new look at historic house museums</p><br>
<p>The Boston Building, built in 1890, is a historic building in Denver, Colorado. It was designed by the firm Andrews, Jaques & Rantoulthe same architects who designed the nearby Equitable Buildingand was dubbed the first "strictly modern office building" in Denver at time of its erection. Standing 9 stories or, the building is located at 828 17th Street in Denver&#39;s historic district, on the corner of E. 17th St. and Champa. In 1978 the Boston Building received National Historic Landmark status under the Historic Resources of Downtown Denver Multiple Property Submission . The building has also been deemed a Denver historic landmark. In 1998, the building was renovated and joined with the Kistler Building to create one and two-bedroom apartment lofts. Together with the Bank Building across the street, is now also known as The Bank and Boston Lofts.</p><br>
<h2>Boston Lofts</h2><br>
<p>Today, the Boston Building is located in the heart of downtown Denver next to LoDo and the 16th Street Mall. It is surrounded by other National Historic Landmark buildings, such as the US National/Guaranty Bank Building (which has been converted to the Bank Lofts), the American National Bank Building, and the Denver National Bank Building. It houses 158 residential apartment lofts, which have retained some of the character of the original building (including high ceilings, exposed brick, pressed-tin ceilings, and original stained glass windows on the 2nd floor). Its exterior features a combination of Renaissance Revival and Richardsonian Romanesque style elements and is clad in Manitou red sandstone. The original building had vaults in the corners of the building, which have been converted into vestibules for the corner apartment units. Some units have even retained the heavy vault doors on the outer vestibule. The property was purchased by (Aimco – stock ticker AIV) in 2000 from National Properties.</p><br>
<h2>Green Initiatives</h2><br>
<p>Prior to 2008, the Boston Lofts purchased steam from Denver&#39;s central steam plant to provide domestic water heating and space heating. In 2008, the steam heating system was replaced with high efficiency, condensing boilers fueled by clean burning natural gas. The new system includes a web enabled building control system to maximize the operating efficiency of the new central plant. The retrofit conversion reduced the amount of energy required to fulfill the heating demands compared to the city steam system and also eliminated approximately of wastewater per year.</p><br>
<h2>Tenants</h2><br>
<p>In addition to the apartment lofts, the building also houses 9,600 ft&sup2; of retail spaces - which is, as of March 2023, occupied by Cobbler&#39;s Corner, Tea Cloud and Poke, Native Barber Salon and FASTSIGNS.</p><br>
<p>The Chicago Great Western Railroad Depot is a historic railway station in the village of Elizabeth, Illinois, USA. It was built in 1877&ndash;78 and like many rural stations along the Chicago Great Western Railroad it was cast in Stick style. The building was listed on the USA National Register of Historic Places in 1996.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Elizabeth, Illinois Chicago Great Western Railroad Depot was built in 1877&ndash;78 by the Minnesota Northwestern Railway Company. In January 1892, A.B. Stickney&#39;s Chicago Great Western Railroad company bought the Minnesota Northwestern company.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The design of the depot in Elizabeth is similar to the design of many of the rural stations built during the 1880s and 1890s along the Chicago Great Western Railroad. Many of these stations, including the Elizabeth depot, were small rectangular, side-gabled buildings built in Stick style. Through the years, some of the depots original architectural details were lost. Located in a mixed commercial district, the area that was once the stations stockyard is now a lumber company, but the "Commercial Hotel", an 1889 hotel that served railroad patrons, across the street still stands.</p><br>
<h2>Museum</h2><br>
<p>Today the restored depot building is operated by the Elizabeth Historical Society as the Chicago Great Western Railway Depot Museum. Exhibits include a film, railroad artifacts, and working N-scale, HO-scale, and G-scale model railroad layouts. The museum is open seasonally on weekends.</p><br>
<h2>Historic significance</h2><br>
<p>The arrival of the depot in Elizabeth coincided with a record growth spurt between 1880 and 1900. The population of Elizabeth rose from 507 to 659 during those two decades and by the 1910s unofficial numbers estimated the population at close to 1,000. The station and the railroad industry in Elizabeth heralded a new era in the village. On February 16, 1996, the Chicago Great Western Railroad Station in Elizabeth, Illinois was added to the USA National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>The Herbert H. Dow House is an historic house located in the Dow Gardens of Midland, Michigan. Built in 1899, it was the home of Herbert H. Dow , founder of Dow Chemical Company, from then until his death in 1930. It was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1976. The house is open for guided tours; admission is charged.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Herbert H. Dow House stands within Dow Gardens, a private park open to the public. It is an architecturally vernacular -story wood-frame structure, with a diversity of projections, roof styles, and window sizes and shapes. It is not considered to be architecturally significant. The house was built in 1899 for Herbert H. Dow, and is now owned by the Herbert and Grace Dow Foundation.</p><br>
<p>Herbert Dow, born in Canada and raised in Connecticut, received a Bachelor of Science degree in 1888, focused on chemistry, from the Case School of Applied Science. He immediately pursued research to separate bromine from salt brine, since bromine was recognized as an important chemical with applications in photography and medicine. He moved to Midland in 1890 because the brine in the region was particularly rich in bromine, and his refinement of the techniques of separating it led to the formal founding of Dow Chemical in 1897. Dow&#39;s work and patents in this area laid the groundwork for what is now the modern chemical industry.</p><br>
<p>Dow was also interested in horticulture, developing extensive gardens near his home. This land is now the Dow Gardens public park.</p><br>
<p>The Ernest Hemingway Cottage, also known as Windemere, was the boyhood summer home of author Ernest Hemingway, on Walloon Lake in Michigan, United States. It was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1968.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In about 1898, Dr. Clarence Hemingway and his wife Grace Hall Hemingway purchased four lots at this site on the shore of Walloon Lake. In 1899, they identified a location to construct a cottage, which Grace designed. In 1900, the couple spent $400 to have this cottage constructed on the site, which they dubbed "Windemere." The family spent summers at the cottage; Ernest Hemingway, born in 1899, spent every summer here from 1900 - 1920, save 1918. In 1904, they added a kitchen, connected to the main house with a breezeway. Later, a smaller "annex" was constructed to provide more bedrooms.</p><br>
<p>In 1921, Hemingway and Hadley Richardson honeymooned in the cottage. Hemingway returned to the cottage only once more in his life, in the early 1950s.</p><br>
<p>After his mother died, Hemingway was willed the cottage. Although he did not visit, he retained ownership until his own death in 1961. At his request, Hemingways widow transferred ownership of the cottage to his younger sister Madelaine, who used it until her own death. It later passed to Hemingways nephew, Ernie Mainland, but he died in 2021 and was survived by his wife Judy and their son Ken.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Ernest Hemingway Cottage is a single-story frame structure with a gabled roof and white clapboard siding measuring 20 feet by 40 feet. The main section of the cottage contains the sleeping and living rooms, along with a bathroom and utility closet. A smaller section contains the kitchen; a breezeway, originally screened but now enclosed, connects the two sides. The interior is covered with unpainted clapboard. The kitchen has been modernized.</p><br>
<p>A smaller "annex" building, constructed a few years after the main cottage, stands a few yards away. A modern garage is located behind the cottage.</p><br>

<p>The College Hill Historic District is located in the College Hill neighborhood of Providence, Rhode Island. It was designated a National Historic Landmark District on December 30, 1970. The College Hill local historic district, established in 1960 , partially overlaps the national landmark district. Properties within the local historic district are regulated by the city&#39;s historic district zoning ordinance, and cannot be altered without approval from the Providence Historic District Commission.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The area marks the original settlement of Roger Williams in 1636 on the banks of the Providence River after he was banished from Massachusetts. Williams&#39; original homestead site is located near Roger Williams National Memorial, a small park near the river. Many of the street names mark the location of the original strips of farmland owned by the earliest settlers, such as Wickenden Street, Arnold Street, and Angell Street. Many Victorian and American colonial houses such as the Stephen Hopkins House remain in the area.</p><br>
<p>Brown University, Moses Brown School, Wheeler School, and the Rhode Island School of Design are atop the hill, giving it its name. Thayer Street is a popular destination nearby with coffee shops, galleries, stores, and restaurants. Many churches are also in the area including Roger Williams&#39; First Baptist Church in America and Central Congregational Church. The Hill district is transected by Benefit Street which was built as a "benefit" to the community and stretched perpendicularly crossing the original homestead strips. The Old State House and Providence Athenaeum, the fourth oldest library in America are located in the district.</p><br>
<h3>Designation</h3><br>
<p>The National Historic District was designated in 1960 following a detailed inventory of the area which identified 348 structures in the district as contributing properties. The district was expanded 1977 and 1990 to approximately 945 properties largely from the 18th and 19th centuries.</p><br>
<p>The effort to establish the district were spearheaded by Antoinette Downing and John Nicholas Brown II.</p><br>
