<p>The Fiske House is a historic house located at 1 Billerica Road in Chelmsford Center, Massachusetts, US.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The story wood and brick house was built in 1798 by Simeon Spalding, Jr., a merchant, and occupies a prominent location in the town center. It is roughly square in shape, with brick end walls that include four chimneys. Its corners have pilasters, and its exterior doors have Federal style surrounds. The interior of the house has retained much original finish. Although the house was briefly out of the hands of Spalding&#39;s descendants in the 1830s, when it was operated as a tavern, John Minot Fiske, his grandson, purchased the house in 1839, and it has been in the family since.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1977, and was included in the Chelmsford Center Historic District in 1980.</p><br>
<p>The Chelmsford Center Historic District is a historic district encompassing the historic heart of the town of Chelmsford, Massachusetts. It extends from the towns central square in the east, where the intersection of Billerica Road and Chelmsford Street is located, west beyond the junction of Littleton and North Roads with Westford Street, and from there north along Worthen Road. It includes the area that was the 17th-century heart of the town, including its common and first burying ground, and has been the towns civic heart since its founding.</p><br>
<p>The district was added to National Register of Historic Places in 1980.</p><br>
<p>The First Burial Ground or Park Street Burial Ground is a historic cemetery on Park Street near Centre Street in Woburn, Massachusetts. Established c. 1646, it is the city&#39;s first and oldest cemetery. It occupies a 1.4 acre parcel at the corner of Park and Centre Streets near Woburn Square. Most of the burials took place before 1794, and are marked by slate headstones. The last documented burial took place in 1903. In a manner typical of early colonial cemeteries, there is no formal circulation pattern, and graves are not laid out in any formal, organized manner.</p><br>
<p>There are several prominent burials in the cemetery. Probably the most well-known individuals interred here are members of the Baldwin family. Loammi Baldwin, an American Revolutionary War veteran and early civil engineer, is buried here, as are three of his sons, Benjamin Franklin Baldwin, James Fowle Baldwin, and Loammi Baldwin Jr. Locally notable burials include two Woburn founders Edward Johnson and Thomas Carter, and four of its early ministers. Another prominent family monument is that of the Fowle family, an 8 ft column topped by an urn.</p><br>
<p>Some of the early grave markers were carved by Joseph Lamson, a noted Charlestown carver. Stones attributed to him include slate markers carved with a traditional winged-skull motif, where the skull features eyebrows, a unique characteristic of his work. Lamson and other members of his family are known to have carved many markers in the area throughout the 18th century.</p><br>
<p>The cemetery was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2004.</p><br>
<p>The cemetery is currently locked and can only be opened on weekdays by calling the Woburn Cemetery Commission.</p><br>
<p>The First Baptist Church is an historic Baptist church on 1013 Worcester Road  in Framingham, Massachusetts.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The cornerstone of the First Baptist Church was laid in 1826. The first services were held on January 1, 1827 by the Rev. Charles Train. Originally an "open" basement for the horses to stay dry during worship services, the Sanctuary floor was raised around 1881 and the basement closed in. Around 1888 a 4-room addition was added on the west side (rear) of building along with a baptismal on the altar stage. With the exception of some major renovations around 1998 to make the building handicap accessible, the building remains much as it was the day it was built. The original box pews were replaced by curved padded pews in the late 1800s, however the original box pews still exist in the balcony. Also still intact, however sealed in from the Main Sanctuary, are the original Negro galleries which were closed off around 1849</p><br>
<p>In 1854 several members left with a "mothers blessing" to create the South Framingham Baptist Church in South Framingham. The name was changed to Park Street Baptist Church shortly thereafter. Major renovations were completed on the church in 1881. In 1998 due to dwindling membership in both congregations, the members of First Baptist Church and Park Street Baptist Church began worshipping together. In 2002 The members of Park Street Baptist Church officially rejoined First Baptist Church as one congregation now known as the First Baptist Church in Framingham.</p><br>
<p>The church building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.</p><br>
<p>The former St. John&#39;s Episcopal Church is an historic church building on Maynard Road and Church Street in Framingham, Massachusetts.

The church building was designed by local architect Alexander Rice Esty, and was built in 1871. Esty was a member of the congregation for which it was built, and donated his services.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on January 12, 1990.</p><br>
<p>The Venice Canal Historic District is embedded in the residential Venice suburb of Los Angeles, California. The historic district is noteworthy for possessing man-made wetland canals, built in 1905 by developer Abbot Kinney as part of his Venice of America. Kinney sought to recreate the appearance and feel of Venice, Italy, in coastal Los Angeles County. The names of the canals were given by Abbot Kinney as follows: Aldebaran Canal, Altair Canal, Cabrillo Canal, Coral Canal, Grand Canal, Lion Canal and Venus Canal.</p><br>
<p>Another set of canals was built south of the Venice Canals, originally known as the New Amsterdam Canals by investors and architects, namely Howland, Sherman and Clark, land owners whom two canals were named after. These canals are roughly bounded by Eastern Court on the east, Court A on the south, Strongs Drive on the west, and Court E on the north. There are four east-west canals (Carroll Canal, Linnie Canal, Howland Canal, and Sherman Canal) and two north-south canals (Eastern Canal and Grand Canal). The lit canals with gondoliers and arched bridges drew widespread publicity and helped sell lots in the development.</p><br>
<p>By the 1920s, with cars quickly gaining popularity, the canals were viewed by many as outdated, and as a result a number of canals were filled in 1929 to make room for paved roads. By 1940 the remaining canals had fallen into disrepair, and the sidewalks were condemned by the city. The district remained in poor condition for more than 40 years; numerous proposals to renovate the canals failed due to lack of funding, environmental concerns, and disputes as to who should bear the financial responsibility. The canals were finally renovated in 1992; they were drained, and new sidewalks and walls were built. The canals re-opened in 1993, and have become a desirable and expensive residential section of the city.</p><br>
<p>The residential district surrounding the remaining canals was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982. However, in recent years, there has been extensive renovation work on many of the old houses, and many large, modern houses have been built.</p><br>
<p>The water enters the canals through sea gates in the Marina Del Rey breakwater via the Ballona Lagoon, and again in Washington Boulevard. They open at low tide to drain most of the water, and at high tide they are closed, trapping the water for about three days, before being refreshed again.</p><br>
<h2>Former canals</h2><br>
<p>Before 1929, the area covered by canals was approximately three to four times as large as today. The number of canals was reduced from thirteen to six. The canals were bounded by Abbot Kinney Blvd., Pacific Ave., Westminster Ave., and Venice Blvd. The seven canals were renamed as concrete roads by the City of Los Angeles as Main St. and Canal St. (formerly Coral Canal), Cabrillo Ave. (formerly Cabrillo Canal), San Juan Ave. (formerly Venus Canal), Windward Ave. (formerly Lion Canal), Altair St. (formerly Altair Canal), Market St. (formerly Aldebaren Canal) and Grand Boulevard (formerly Grand Canal)</p><br>
<p>The traffic circle at Pacific and Windward Avenues is located on top of what once was the Venice Lagoon.</p><br>
<h2>Canal improvement project</h2><br>
<p>There were several attempts to rehabilitate, restore or improve the canals. In most of these cases the projects were met with opposition, eventually causing the plans to stall and eventually be cancelled. One of these attempts was a deep-water plan that was stopped in the 1960s. Initially the deep water plan had received City of Los Angeles approval. Assessments were sent to the property owners, and Mayor Thomas Bradley did a news photo with local residents of the first shovel. This project was to include access by large boats from Marina Del Rey into the Venice Canals. However, a lawsuit by Summa Corporation, the Howard Hughes Company, and a man named Mr. Green stopped the project. This was due to the canal water flowing from Marina Del Rey to the Venice Canals in a section called Ballona Lagoon. The Ballona Lagoon property under the water was owned by Howard Hughes and the Summa Corporation. Howard Hughes died in 1976, taking away any serious opposition from Summa Corporation.</p><br>
<p>A neighborhood group, the Venice Canals Resident and Homeowners organization, was formed by a few residents of the canals in 1977, to establish an assessment district to restore the canals. This organization name was shortened to The Venice Canals Association in 1983. The VCA obtained signatures of 77% of the property owners to form an assessment district and have the Venice Canals restored or rehabilitated. The VCA submitted to the city, and as a result the city engineers began to design a new canal improvement plan to bring back to the community. This plan was designed by Los Angeles City Engineer Luis Ganajas. Luis Ganajas was a bridge engineer. He was later credited with the street improvement project for Santa Monica Blvd. from the 405 Freeway to Beverly Hills.</p><br>
<p>The plan was presented to the VCA and residents with support and optimism. This plan was similar to the 1960s plan, with straight vertical cement walls, but only five feet high. This plan was designed for human-powered boats and not deep bottom boats. No deeper dredging would be required. The plan became known as the "Vertical Wall plan". The city began to move it through the process, and estimated the cost to be around 6 to 8 million, plus the city improvements of public areas like sidewalks, etc. for a total of 15 to 18 million dollars. The cost under the assessment would be shared half by the property owners over 10 years assessment on their property taxes, and half by the City of Los Angeles and the Federal government. The original assessment project was sponsored by the Venice Canals Association (VCA) in 1977 during Pat Russel&#39;s term as City Councilperson. The first attempted design was done by City of Los Angeles Engineer Luis Ganajas. The plan still faced opposition. Those opposing any improvements did not want to see the sidewalks returned to public use, did not want to pay for the assessment, and used the fish and wildlife as a red herring. Some mentioned the California Least Tern as an endangered species who foraged and fished in the Canals. However, the majority of the residents supported the plan submitted by the City of Los Angeles.</p><br>
<p>In 1983, Ruth Galanter was elected to the City Council office and inherited the Vertical Wall plan neighborhood sponsored assessment for improving the Venice Canals. The design was known as the vertical wall plan, similar to the Marina Del Rey walls. Ruth Galanter was not happy with the environmental aspects, the costs, the Historical design and the safety of the Vertical wall plan, so one of her early actions was to stop the city engineers from pursuing such a plan. Galanter asked the Coastal Conservancy to review the options for the canals, and the state agency returned several plans suggestions, including one using a material called Armorflex. Armorflex was a web of open cement blocks that would allow for plants to grow in them. These were to be installed on a gentle slope to allow birds and wildlife to go in and out of the canals.</p><br>
<p>The majority of the neighbors who would be assessed by the new design were opposed to the Armorflex plan. Ruth told the head of the VCA improvement project, Mark Galanty, that she would be open to another plan if the VCA were to find something better. However, Councilwoman Galanter would continue with the new Armorflex plan. So Mark assembled a committee of the VCA to locate a new material. Loffelstein, or Loffel Block, was identified by a VCA site committee member Andy Shores as possibly meeting those goals. It allowed plants to grow inside the material, could be placed on a slope to allow birds and wildlife to climb out of the canals, was safe for small children as it allowed them to hold on to the sides, and or climb out of the Canals, and was lower cost than the Armorflex. Mark obtain the services of a local architect to help present an artist rendering of the Loffel Block plan. The first drawing included 55% banks with areas near the public areas at a more gentle slope to allow for birds and wildlife to enter and exit the canals. The plan was presented by Mark Galanty at a public hearing on the project. Councilwoman Galanter agreed to look at the alternative design.</p><br>
<p>Ruth agreed, and instructed the City Engineers to design a plan using the Loffel Block. However, they did not drop the Armoflex design. Meanwhile, the residents were polled: 78% were against the canals being redone using Armorflex, and 82% were in favor of the canals being redone using the Loffel Block. Councilwoman Galanter and City Engineers drop the gentle slope, and designed the entire project at 55 degrees. A test site was installed at Sherman Canal and Dell for the Armorflex. The Venice Canals Association was able to get the distributor of Loffel Block to install the Loffel test site across the canals from the Armorflex site. Both were planted with native salt water plants, and observed for quality. The ducks preferred the Loffel Block. Many of the plants died in the Armorflex. In addition, the Armorflex began to sag and shift, while the Loffel test site remained stable.</p><br>
<p>After several years of study and review of both materials, Mark Galanty sent a letter to Ruth Galanter congratulating her on her success. She was able to meet her original goal of finding a material that would allow plants to grow, was environmental qualities, was safer for children falling in, was lower-cost than the original vertical wall plan, was closer to the original 1906 historic banks, and was approved by Coastal Commission and the many city agencies involved. The winner was the Loffel Block, and it now had the majority support needed for the assessment district to be approved. Based on this Letter, Councilwoman Galanter dropped the Armorflex plan and only brought forward the Loffel Plan. Mark Galanty, worked with the residents, property owners, and canal stakeholders to eliminate any opposition to the compromise plan using Loffel Block. The VCA negotiated a fund to pay for anyone that could not afford the assessment amount. No-one applied for the money established in this fund. The city designed the restoration to be built in two phases in order to not disrupt the wildlife (tern, Coots, egrets, herons, ducks, etc.).</p><br>
<p>Meanwhile, Councilwoman Galanter, negotiated a deal with the Summa Corporation, and other property owners under the Ballona Lagoon, to eliminate any issues with water flow rights to the Venice Canals. A deal was struck between the major underwater land owner to swap the city owned lots on the Venice Canals for land under the lagoon. Assuring the Lagoon and water to the Venice Canals would continue to flow in and out. The final hearing was the Coastal Commission, where there was no opposition to the Venice Canal Improvement project. Mark Galanty spoke on behalf of the Venice Canals Association. There were over 48 supporters in favor of the project, and no one spoke against it. Due to the signal of support from the staff and Coastal Commissioners, most of those in favor of the project passed on speaking.</p><br>
<p>Councilwoman Galanter, and staff member Jim Bichart, as well as City Engineers Luis Ganajas, environmental engineer Russ Ruffing worked on the City, State and National approvals. At the Coastal Commission hearing the Venice Canals Association supported the plan, and there was finally no opposition to the restoring of the Venice Canals. The estimated costs for the improvements were 12 million dollars. 6.9 million paid as an assessment district.</p><br>
<p>The project included dredging the canals and removing the soil to a class 1 toxic site, removing crumbling sidewalks, replacing new sidewalks, 5 feet deep in center, 1 1/2 feet on the sides, Loffel Block at 55 degrees through the canals. Rebuilding the foot bridges that go over the canals. The property owners in the canals paid approximately $6,600 over a 10 year-period for a 30 by 90 foot lot frontage, and $7,800 for a 40 by 90 foot lot frontage. Work began in March 1992, and was completed in 1993. The assessment could be paid in full, or paid over time with interest at approximately 5% interest. As a result of the completion of the Venice Canals Improvement, the VCA held a carnival in 1993 with Gondolas, food, art, music to celebrate the rehabilitation and improvement of the Venice Canals. Two gondolas from Naples California were rented to take passengers on the Venice Canals like in 1906. The Venice Canals again celebrated the Canal 10 year anniversary of the restoration with another party in 2003.</p><br>

<p>The O. C. Barber Piggery, built in 1912, is a historic farm building located at 248 Robinson Avenue on the Anna-Dean Farm in Barberton, Ohio. It was built by American businessman and industrialist Ohio Columbus Barber, the developer of both Barberton, which he envisioned as a planned industrial community, and the nearby 3,500-acre  Anna-Dean Farm, which he envisioned as a prototype for modern agricultural enterprise. Barber was called America&#39;s Match King because of his controlling interest in the Diamond Match Company.</p><br>
<p>The 300 ft brick and block Piggery building, painted patriotic red, white and blue, was only used to house swine until 1915, when cholera was detected in the herd, which was then destroyed. After being thoroughly disinfected with bleach, the building was used to house sheep for two years, before they were replaced by calves because Barber was upset by the fact that the sheep destroyed the pastures by their grazing practices. The building was renamed the Calf Barn.</p><br>
<p>On May 22, 1973, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>The Pitkin Glassworks Ruin is a historic industrial archaeological site at the junction of Parker and Putnam Streets in Manchester, Connecticut. It contains the remains of one of the oldest glass factories in New England, established in 1783. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Pitkin Glass Factory was established when the area was still considered part of East Hartford, and was known at the time as the East Hartford Glass Works. William and Elisha Pitkin had supplied gunpowder to the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War at a financial loss, and petitioned the state in 1783 for an exclusive right to manufacture glass as compensation for their losses. The state granted them a 25-year monopoly, to begin once manufacturing began. The factory went into operation a few years later, and soon ran into financial difficulties. Several lotteries were held to raise additional funds, but the endeavour finally closed its doors in 1830.</p><br>
<p>The factory produced items mostly made of green glass, including demijohns for trade with the West Indies, as well as all manner of utilitarian containers, from inkwells to pitchers and bowls. It is unclear whether or not they manufactured window glass.</p><br>
<h2>Later history</h2><br>
<p>The ruins of the structure of the factory are located on what was once the Pitkin Farm, and what is currently the corner of Putnam and Parker Streets. Between the two streets is a grassy plot of land with a sign that identifies it as the former site of the Pitkin Tavern. The site includes remnants of the factory&#39;s stone walls, as well as other archaeological remains.</p><br>
<p>The ruined remains of the factory were deed by the Pitkin family to the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) in 1928. The DAR, citing increasing maintenance costs, suggested selling the property for development in 1977. In response to this threat, a committee of citizens formed to save it. They include members of the DAR and the Manchester Historical Society.</p><br>
<p>Several archaeological digs have taken place on the site, including one done by students at Central Connecticut State University. Displays of artifacts and the history of the site are located in the Old Manchester Museum on Cedar Street.</p><br>
<p>The Columbia Cemetery in Columbia, Missouri has been in use as a cemetery since 1820. The cemetery historically contains, White, African-American, and Jewish  sections. Located in the cemetery are a vernacular stone receiving vault , and a Romanesque Revival style mausoleum .</p><br>
<p>Located on Broadway just west of Downtown Columbia, the cemetery contains many burials of prominent people associated with Missouri history, the University of Missouri, or the city of Columbia. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2007. It is still an operating cemetery with room for many more burials and celebrated its 200th anniversary in 2020.</p><br>

<p>The Fort Bayard Historic District encompasses the area that was the location of Fort Bayard, a United States Army military installation north of present-day Santa Clara, New Mexico. Founded in 1866, the fort at first provided security  against Native American attacks on settlers during the settlement of the region in the 19th century. It was then converted into the army&#39;s first tuberculosis sanitarium, and later became a VA hospital. The property is now the Fort Bayard Medical Center, a long-term nursing care facility operated by the state of New Mexico. The only surviving 19th-century elements of the fort are some of its landscaping, and the Fort Bayard National Cemetery. The site was designated a National Historic Landmark District in 2004.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Fort Bayard was established as a United States Army installation in 1866 to protect miners and other settlers in the area along the Apache Trail. The fort was named for Brigadier General George Dashiell Bayard, who was mortally wounded at the Battle of Fredericksburg in 1862. Fifteen square miles of land were set aside as the Fort Bayard Military Reservation by presidential order in 1869. In 1886, then-Second Lieutenant John Pershing arrived at Fort Bayard and oversaw the installation of a heliograph, linking the fort to an Army communications network from Arizona to Texas.</p><br>
<p>Fort Bayard was one of many installations throughout the Southwest that was garrisoned by the so-called Buffalo Soldiers. Company B of the 25th United States Colored Infantry Regiment established the post, and they were joined by other black units, including troops from the 9th Cavalry Regiment. Corporal Clinton Greaves, stationed at Fort Bayard with C Company, 9th Cavalry Regiment, received the Medal of Honor for his actions against Apache raiders on January 24, 1877. A monument to the Buffalo Soldiers was erected on the old parade field of Fort Bayard in 1992.</p><br>
<p>Following the capture of Geronimo in 1886, the Apache were no longer considered a major threat. Fort Bayards continued usefulness, like that many posts in the southwest, thus came under scrutiny. Due to its distance from the border with Mexico, the fort was selected for deactivation. However, USA Army Surgeon General George Miller Sternberg, noting the excellent health record of the post, chose Fort Bayard as an Army tuberculosis hospital and research center (Lectures on tuberculosis made at the fort are archived at the National Library of Medicine). The fort was then transferred to the Surgeon Generals department in 1900. In 1919 the Army turned the fort over to the USA Public Health Service to administer Hospital No. 55., a veterans&#39; tuberculosis hospital. In 1922 the hospital became the part of the Veterans Bureau.</p><br>
<p>The fort was partially reactivated as a military installation during World War II. A number of German prisoners of war were held at the fort from 1943 to 1945. The fort is now administered by the New Mexico Department of Health as Fort Bayard Medical Center, a long-term care nursing facility that also contains a chemical dependency treatment center.</p><br>
<p>Fort Bayard is located 0.5 mi north of the intersection of United States Route 180 and New Mexico State Road 152, near Bayard, New Mexico.</p><br>

<p>The Glorieta Pass Battlefield was the site of an American Civil War battle that ended Confederate ambitions to cut off the West from the Union. The Battle of Glorieta Pass took place on March 26–28, 1862, at Glorieta Pass, on the Santa Fe Trail between the Pecos River and Santa Fe, New Mexico. The pass, and the battlefield, are now bisected by Interstate 25. Two portions of the battlefield, now publicly owned and operated by the National Park Service as part of Pecos National Historical Park, were declared a National Historic Landmark in 1961.</p><br>
<h2>Description and battle history</h2><br>
<p>The preserved portions of the battlefield consist of two sites, a 294 acre parcel on the west side of Glorieta Pass, and a 150 acre parcel on the east side. Areas in between and other portions of the battlefield have been at least partially compromised by the construction of both a railroad and Interstate 25. The eastern portion is north of I-25, and is roughly bisected by New Mexico State Road 50, which follows the historic route of the Santa Fe Trail. At its eastern end is Pigeon&#39;s Ranch, a historic stop on the trail, of which only foundation remnants survive. The western section is located mainly between I-25 and the railroad tracks near the hamlet of Cañoncito.</p><br>
<p>The Battle of Glorieta Pass, fought March 26–28, 1862, arose out of a Confederate initiative to gain control of the western United States. Confederate forces under Brig. Gen. Henry H. Sibley had penetrated as far as Santa Fe, defeating a Union force under Col. Edward Canby at Valverde in February 1862. William Gilpin, governor of the Colorado Territory, raised a brigade of volunteers to aid in the defense of Fort Union, the next Confederate objective. Union sided New Mexican volunteers were led by Lt. Col. Manuel Chaves of the 2nd New Mexico Infantry. These two forces fought a largely indecisive battle, with the Union forces forced to retreat northward, but successfully destroying the Confederate supply train. The latter forced a Confederate retreat, ultimately all the way back to Texas.</p><br>
<h2>Preservation</h2><br>
<p>In 1993, the Congressionally appointed Civil War Sites Advisory Commission issued its "Report on the Nation’s Civil War Battlefields." The Commission was tasked with identify the nation&#39;s historically significant Civil War sites, determining their importance, and providing recommendations for their preservation to Congress.</p><br>
<p>Of the roughly 10,500 actions of the USA Civil War, 384 (3.7%) were identified by the Commission as principal battles and rated according to their significance and threat of loss. The Battle of Glorieta Pass received the highest rating from the Commission - Priority I (Class A). Class A battlefields are principal strategic operations having a direct impact on the course of the war. With this rating the Commission placed Glorieta Pass on the same level with battles such as Gettysburg and Antietam. The Priority I rating identified Glorieta Pass as being not only one of the most important, but also one of the most highly endangered battlefields in the country. Only 10 other battlefields received the Priority I (Class A) rating. The Commission recommended that Congress focus its preservation efforts on Priority I, nationally significant battlefields.</p><br>
<p>Since 1993 portions of the Glorieta Pass battlefield have been a unit of the National Park Service. The Glorieta Pass unit (Pigeons Ranch) comprises roughly 20% of the total battlefield. The remaining 80% is in private ownership. Glorieta Pass Battlefield is managed by Pecos National Historical Park and supported by the Glorieta Battlefield Coalition, a non-profit citizens organization.</p><br>
<p>Portions of the battlefield have been opened to the public as of 2012 (the 150th anniversary of the battle) featuring convenient, and even some accessible, landscaped paths and interpretive signage.</p><br>
<p>The Civil War Trust (a division of the American Battlefield Trust) and its partners have acquired and preserved 19 acres of the battlefield.</p><br>
<p>The Rabbit Ears are a pair of mountain peaks in northeastern New Mexico, United States, 8 km north of the city of Clayton. The two peaks were a distinctive landmark along the Cimarron Cutoff of the Santa Fe Trail, a major route for westbound settlers in the 19th century. The formation was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1963.</p><br>
<p>The higher of the two peaks has an elevation of 1,848 m and the lower has an elevation of 1,788 m. They rises several hundred feet above the surrounding Great Plains.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Rabbit Ears are part of a formation known as the Clayton Complex, an area of elevated terrain north of Clayton and south of the New Mexico-Colorado state line. Its principal features are two peaks that are a regular presence on the landscape, especially when approached from the east. They are called Rabbit Ears Mountain and Mount Clayton, although the latter has also been historically called the Round Mound. Rabbit Ears Mountain, which has two peaks, is located directly north of Clayton, and is skirted to the south and west by New Mexico State Road 370. Mount Clayton lies to its west, south of the junction of USA Route 85 and New Mexico State Road 453. The Clayton Complex itself forms part of the Raton-Clayton volcanic field; Rabbit Ears are the only part of that field visible from Texas.</p><br>
<p>The Cimarron Cutoff of the Santa Fe Trail was one of two major branches of the Santa Fe Trail, a major 19th-century settlement route connecting Kansas City, Missouri and Santa Fe, New Mexico. Its route branched from the Mountain Route near Fort Dodge, roughly following the watershed of the Cimarron River into what is now northeastern New Mexico, where it then went southwesterly toward Santa Fe. The eastern portion of the route is roughly covered by present-day United States Route 56 and United States Route 412.</p><br>
<p>The Rabbit Ears were a key landmark because they were a highly visible feature of the landscape for more than 30 mi, and because they were one of the few signs of a sure water supply across that entire area. As a consequence, there are three areas that were regularly used as camp sites by westbound travelers near the two mountains. McNees Crossing on Corrumpa Creek (or McNees Creek), Turkey Creek Camp on what is now called Alamos Creek, and Rabbit Ears Camp on Cienequilla Creek. Each of these creeks ran reliably in the spring, and continued to provide water even after they stopped running fully. Camps would be located along their banks, their exact locations varying based on water availability. Remnant trail ruts are visible in each of these areas.</p><br>
<p>The Rabbit Ears formation figures prominently in Louis LAmours novel Mustang Man.</p><br>
<p>The Embassy of Uzbekistan in Washington, D.C., , is the diplomatic mission of the Republic of Uzbekistan to the United States. The current Ambassador of Uzbekistan to the United States is. The embassy is located at 1746 Massachusetts Avenue NW on Embassy Row in Washington, D.C., between Scott Circle and Dupont Circle. Constructed in 1909, the Clarence Moore House is an example of Beaux Arts architecture in blond Roman brick with limestone dressings; it was used by the Canadian government until the 1980s. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places  on April 3, 1973. The building is also designated a contributing property to the Massachusetts Avenue Historic District and Dupont Circle Historic District, which are both listed on the NRHP.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<h3>Clarence Moore residence</h3><br>
<p>Clarence Moore, a coal magnate from West Virginia and member of private clubs in Paris and New York City, chose the New York City-based architect Bruce Price and the Washington-based Jules Henri de Sibour to design his home in Washington, D.C. At the time, Sibour was a prominent architect of large residences in Washington, including the Thomas T. Gaff House, Andrew Mellon Building, and the ambassadors residences of Portugal, France, and Luxembourg. Moore purchased the land from Edward J. Stellwagen for $37,422, and construction began in September 1906 and was completed in 1909. Moore only lived in the house for three years. On April 15, 1912, Moore was one of the 1,517 passengers who perished during the sinking of the RMS Titanic. After Moores death, his widow, Mabelle, remarried and only used the home for diplomatic and social events.</p><br>
<h3>Canadian embassy</h3><br>
<p>On May 28, 1927, Mabelle sold the home to the Crown in Right of Canada for $375,000. A portion of the home&#39;s furnishings were purchased for an additional $100,000. Until 1931, Canada had been represented in the United States by the British Embassy.</p><br>
<p>From 1927 until 1946, the Clarence Moore House served as the Canadian chancery as well as the residence of the Canadian Minister, and later the ambassador. In 1943 the legation was raised to embassy status and Leighton McCarthy became the first Canadian ambassador to the United States. In 1946, the ambassador&#39;s residence was constructed at 2825 Rock Creek Drive, and the Clarence Moore House was then used solely for embassy office space.</p><br>
<p>The Canadian Crown-in-Council purchased land on Pennsylvania Avenue in 1978 for $5 million for use as a new location for its chancery. Clarence Moore House continued as the chancery of the Canadian Embassy until 1988, when it moved to the new and current location.</p><br>
<h3>Uzbekistan embassy</h3><br>
<p>After diplomatic relations between the United States and Uzbekistan were established on February 19, 1992, the government of Uzbekistan purchased the Clarence Moore House. The new embassy opened in February 1993 and advocates Uzbekistan&#39;s political, commercial, and economic interests to the government of the United States. As of 2012, the value of the Clarence Moore House property is $13,423,870. The Uzbekistan Ministry of Foreign Affairs also maintains a consulate in New York City.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<h3>Exterior design</h3><br>
<p>The Clarence Moore House is a classic example of the Beaux Arts architectural style and features a Louis XV-style exterior. The -story structure includes a basement and comprises brick walls, a concrete floor, and a steel roof. The building measures 79.5 feet (24.2 m) in height and the walls are made of Roman brick. A limestone Tuscan entablature with a bracket cornice separate the third and fourth floors. The building&#39;s north entrance on Massachusetts Avenue has a 6 x 6 foot (1.8 x 1.8 m) stoop flanked by limestone balustrades. Above the entrance and ground floor windows are limestone corbels and guttae. The corbels support limestone second floor balconies and a vase balustrade. The third floor balconies are made of limestone and feature cast iron railings. The second, third, and fourth floor window and architraves are set in a quoined limestone ground. Six limestone chimneys, capped with Tusance entablature, are visible from the ground level. Two chimneys are located at the front and back of the house and a chimney is located on the eastern and western sides. The slate mansard roof has a limestone and metal ridge.</p><br>
<h3>Interior design</h3><br>
<p>The homes interior features 16th, 17th, and 18th century French and English details. The building is heated by an oil-burning, hot air furnace and contains an Otis passenger elevator and freight elevator. The passenger elevator is wood-paneled and the freight elevator measures 5 x 4 feet (1.5 x 1.2 m) in diameter. The flooring consists of black and white marble squares and the walls are plastered to simulate limestone. In the back of the house is a five-bay entrance hall and staircase. The library entrance is located on the right side of the hallway and two reception rooms and a lavatory are located on the left side. Near the end of the hall are service rooms, service elevator, dining room (now the ambassadors office), and a breakfast room. A lavatory is located beneath the main staircase. At the end of the hall are two parlors and a large drawing room. The second floor contains three bedrooms, two baths, and a service area. One of the bedrooms, the master suite, contains a separate staircase that gives access to the upper floors. The third floor contains bedroom suites and a playroom in the southeast corner. The fourth floor contains additional bedrooms and servants&#39; quarters.</p><br>
<p>The Van Sant Covered Bridge , also known as the Beaver Dam Bridge, is a historic covered bridge located in Solebury Township, near New Hope in Bucks County, Pennsylvania. Built in 1875, the 86 foot, town truss span crosses the Pidcock Creek near Washington Crossing State Park.</p><br>
<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on December 1, 1980.</p><br>
<p>Locals consider this bridge a Crybaby Bridge.</p><br>
<p>The Pine Valley Covered Bridge, also known as the Iron Hill Bridge, is an historic, American, wooden covered bridge that is located in New Britain Borough, near Doylestown in Bucks County, Pennsylvania.</p><br>
<p>It crosses Pine Run Creek near Peace Valley Park, and was added to the National Register of Historic Places on December 1, 1980.</p><br>
<h2>History and architectural features</h2><br>
<p>This town truss bridge, which measures 81 ft in length, was built by David Sutton in 1842 at a cost of $5553.50. That amount is equal to $ today.</p><br>
<p>Posted for years with a height restriction of 116" (3.5 meters), it was reposted in 2007 to 94" (2.85 meters) after an overheight truck passed through it and damaged the roof. It carries a posted weight rating of 24,000 lb.</p><br>
<p>This bridge was added to the National Register of Historic Places on December 1, 1980.</p><br>
<p>The General John Hathorn Stone House is located on Hathorn Road in the town of Warwick, New York, United States, just off NY 94 a mile south of the village of Warwick. It was built by Hathorn in 1773 but expanded considerably in the mid-19th century.</p><br>
<p>It is on a 14-acre (5.6-ha) lot, the remainder of the original 300 acres (120 ha) Hathorn and his family farmed. In 2001 it and an early-19th-century outbuilding were listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>Building</h2><br>
<p>The six-bay -story house is built of coursed rubblestone and uncoursed ashlar. The foundation is stone and the roof is asphalt shingle. A wooden porch spans the front, with its roof continuing the line of the main roof. Low dormer windows line the second story. Two frame wings come out from the rear and side, Large letters set into the brick on the west gable spell out "E., I & H, 1773", a reference to Hathorn and his wife and the year of the house&#39;s construction.</p><br>
<p>Much of the interior retains furnishings from the Victorian era, when the house was extensively redone. Behind the house is a mid-19th-century Greek Revival building that has been used for several purposes during the course of its existence.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>As a young man Hathorn, a native of today&#39;s Delaware, had been on the surveying team that established the present land border between New York and New Jersey, which had been the subject of a lengthy conflict between the two colonies for much of the 18th century. He settled in Warwick and opened a store and iron forge in 1770, and built the house after marrying Elizabeth Welling, daughter of his local host, in 1772. The inscription of their initials and the year of construction in the side of the house is a tradition more commonly associated with Germanic building traditions, a sign of how influential settlers of that background were in the Hudson Valley.</p><br>
<p>During the Revolutionary War he rose from the rank of captain to colonel, and was promoted to major general afterwards. According to local lore, George Washington spent the night at Hathorn&#39;s house on two occasions. Hathorn commanded the local militia, entrusted with guarding the Ramapo approach to the Hudson Valley. He was one of the few survivors of their defeat by Joseph Brant at the Battle of Minisink Ford.</p><br>
<p>After the war he began a more successful political career, first in the New York State Assembly, where he rose to become speaker, then in the state senate and finally in the House of Representatives in the early 19th century. Upon his death in 1825 his family kept the house for nine more years, then sold it to the Sanford family, who combined it with the lot holding the neighboring Jeremiah Morehouse House. They added the rear building, the wings and the porch in addition to doubling the houses original size. In 1923 they sold it to another family, and it has passed through several owners since then. In that year, and again in 2000, Hathorns descendants held a reunion at the house.</p><br>
<p>Today the road, a former section of Route 94, is named for Hathorn. A nearby restaurant is also known as Chateau Hathorn.</p><br>
<p>As of March, 2009, a Permaculture practice and education initiative has been implemented on the site. Using the 9 acre across the street from the Hathorn Stone House, Hathorn Farm has created a "beyond organic" garden that maximizes rainwater and grows only heirloom and organic produce.</p><br>
<p>The Hathorn Stone House will be home to Hathorn Farm&#39;s education initiative featuring Permaculture and a 72-hour Permaculture Design Certification course. Most of the practical implementations of Permaculture were unknowingly implemented in the days of the founding fathers, as many of the capitalistic absurdities of today were not yet in existence. The current owners of the farm look to return the land and farm, not only to embrace the days of Revolution against the bloody Red Coats for taxation without representation that we experience in 2009, but to educate Warwickians about the age-old teachings of homesteading that are comprehensively taught with the curriculum of Permaculture Design Certification.</p><br>
<p>With running water now available after an ongoing court feud with the Village of Warwick, where the court ordered a temporary restraining order against the Village, a feud dating back over 100 years, the owners of the homestead directing the Permaculture course can graciously greet their guests for their unprecedented educational Permaculture course set for commencement on October 10, 2009.</p><br>
<p>The Lisco State Aid Bridge is located on a county road over the North Platte River south of Lisco, Nebraska. Completed in 1928, the bridge today "is distinguished as an important crossing of the Platte River and one of the last two intact multiple-span state aid truss bridges" in Nebraska.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Nebraska Department of Public Works contracted Western Bridge and Construction Company to begin construction on the Lisco Bridge in October 1927, several months after the company completed the nearby Lewellen State Aid Bridge. One of eight bridges designed by the Nebraska engineer&#39;s office using multiple-span Pratt pony trusses, the bridge featured eight 80 ft spans that range from 60 to 100 ft. The bridge measures 641 ft long and is 15 ft wide, and is supported by concrete abutments and piers. Built for $47,600, Western used steel fabricated by the Inland Steel Corporation and completed the project over the winter season. Originally part of the USA 6 highway system, the Lisco Bridge now carries a county road.</p><br>
<p>3901 Connecticut Avenue NW is a six-story Tudor Revival apartment building in the North Cleveland Park  neighborhood of Washington, D.C. Designed by architect George T. Santmyers, 3901 Connecticut Avenue was built in 1927 for developer Harry Bralove. The building was added to the District of Columbia Inventory of Historic Sites on March 28, 1996, and listed on the National Register of Historic Places on September 11, 1997.</p><br>
<p>Storer House is a Frank Lloyd Wright house in the Hollywood Hills of Los Angeles built in 1923. The structure is noteworthy as one of the four Mayan Revival style textile-block houses built by Wright in the Los Angeles area from 1922 to 1924.</p><br>
<h2>Design of Storer House</h2><br>
<p>The Storer House was built in 1923 for Dr. John Storer, a homeopathic physician. However, Wright biographer Brendan Gill described the Storer House as a disappointment on this score: "In direct contradiction to everything that Wright had earlier preached about the natural, nearly invisible joining of structure and site, the Storer House, small as it is, asserts its presence with a surprising degree of arrogance—an arrogance far more obvious in the 1920s, when the hillside lacked the softening effect of foliage, than it is today."</p><br>
<p>The house is dominated by a large upstairs living room with a high ceiling, Mayan inspired columns, and tall narrow windows; the living room is the front facade facing the street. The tall banks of windows flood the living room with natural light. Outside the living room, there are two terraces, one with a view of Hollywood and the other with a view of the hillside. The floor plan forms a T and has large public spaces, each with a fireplace. The dining room and kitchen are on the main floor. The house has 2,967 ft&sup2; with three bedrooms, a den, three bathrooms, staff wing and a spa. The house was built without a front door, entrance being offered through a rear door, "as if to finalize the metaphor of privacy and retrenchment." Actually there are five door/window openings in front, being very visually pleasing, but perhaps lacking the definitiveness of "one front door."</p><br>
<p>The house is built on a steep hillside in the Hollywood Hills at a time when the hills did not have the rich foliage present today. At the time of its construction, Storer House is said to have resembled a Pompeiian villa. Frank Lloyd Wright&#39;s son, Lloyd Wright, was both the on-site construction manager and the landscape architect, providing an illusion of a ruin barely visible within its jungle environment.</p><br>
<p>The Storer House was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1971 and designated as a Historic-Cultural Landmark (#96) in 1972 by the Los Angeles Cultural Heritage Commission. It was also included in Sydney LeBlanc&#39;s book The Architecture Traveler: A Guide to 250 Key 20th Century American Buildings.</p><br>
<p>An homage to Wright was built in the Hollywood Backlot at Disney&#39;s California Adventure Park in Anaheim, California: a textile block restroom and seating area was based on the design of the Storer House.</p><br>
<h2>Wright&#39;s textile-block houses</h2><br>
<p>Considered an example of Wrights pre-Columbian or early Modernist architecture, He sought to develop an inexpensive and simple method of construction that would enable ordinary people to build their own homes with stacked blocks, tied together with steel rods. Writer Hugh Hart has described Wrights concept this way: "By unifying decoration and function, exterior and interior, earth and sky -- perforated blocks served as skylights -- Wright saw his Textile Block Method approach as an utterly modern, and democratic, expression of his organic architecture ideal."</p><br>
<p>Wright was also intrigued by archaeological discoveries on Mexicos Yucatan Peninsula and used elements from Maya architecture and design in the Storer House. Wright used sledgehammers and aluminum molds to imprint elaborate Maya-inspired patterns into the blocks. The four Southern California textile-block houses represented Wrights earliest uses of the exotic, monumental Maya forms. Storer House is the only one of Wright&#39;s textile-block houses to use multiple block patterns—four in all.</p><br>
<p>Wrights textile block houses did not catch on as he had hoped. As The New York Times later said of the California houses built by Wright in the 1920s: "It didnt help that he was obsessed at the time with an untested and (supposedly) low-cost method of concrete-block construction. What kind of rich person, many wondered, would want to live in such a house? Aside from the free-spirited oil heiress Aline Barnsdall, whom he fought with constantly, his motley clients included a jewelry salesman, a rare-book dealing widow and a failed doctor."</p><br>
<h2>Restoration by Joel Silver</h2><br>
<p>By 1980, the house had fallen into a dilapidated condition. It was put on the market for $1 million in 1981, Silver, who has produced such films as Lethal Weapon, Die Hard and The Matrix, began a restoration project in 1984. The restoration was carried out under the supervision of Wrights grandson, Eric Lloyd Wright, and Martin Eli Weil, past president of the Los Angeles Conservancy. One of the challenges in the restoration effort was to develop a formula to duplicate the structures concrete blocks. Ultimately, replacement blocks were made using soil from the backyard mixed with cement to conform to Wright&#39;s concept of "organic architecture." In addition to restoring the house, Silver also restored the original landscaping and installed a pool that had been planned but not built. Eric Wright worked with Silver in completing elements included in the original plans. The restoration project won awards from the California Council of the American Institute of Architects and the Los Angeles Conservancy. In 2005, The New York Times wrote that the Storer House "is widely considered the best-preserved Wright building in Los Angeles."</p><br>
<p>Silver put it on the market in 2001 for $3.5 million. After putting "a small fortune" into the restoration and fixing leaky roofs, Silver had difficulty finding a buyer. Reports indicated that a similar home would sell for $1 million, leading Forbes magazine to ask: "Will someone pay a 400% premium to live in a piece of architectural history? Probably not. Even immaculately restored, the Storer House still has drawbacks: It&#39;s small, the address is just a shade east of swanky Beverly Hills and the other houses on the hills above invade its privacy." Given the landscaping however, the house has great privacy from all of its neighbors. Silver ultimately sold the house in 2002 for $2.9 million. In 2013, the house was listed for sale once more. It sold two years later in February 2015 for a reported $6.8 million.</p><br>

<p>The Klingle Valley Bridge, officially known as the Connecticut Avenue Bridge, is an Art Deco steel-arch bridge located near the National Zoological Park on Connecticut Avenue, Northwest in Washington, D.C. The bridge crosses Klingle Valley, running from Macomb Street to Devonshire Place and connecting the Cleveland Park and Woodley Park neighborhoods.</p><br>
<p>The bridge replaced an earlier one built around 1890 by real estate developer and sitting USA Representative Francis Newlands, D-Nevada, as part of his effort to create the streetcar suburb of Chevy Chase, Maryland.</p><br>
<p>The bridge was designed by architect Paul Philippe Cret and engineer Ralph Modjeski. It was built in 1931&ndash;1932. There is no direct connection between Connecticut Avenue and Klingle Road in the narrow valley below. The bridge features two historic lights on each corner. A major rehabilitation of the bridge that began in 2005 included restored ornamental lanterns, refurbished masonry, and additional street lights. The restoration project was completed in 2008.</p><br>
<p>On May 21, 2004, the bridge was added to the National Register of Historic Places. It is a contributing property to the Cleveland Park Historic District.</p><br>
<p>The Kennedy–Warren is a historic eleven-story apartment house in Washington, D.C. It is located at 3131–3133 Connecticut Avenue, N.W. between the Cleveland Park and Woodley Park neighborhoods. The Art Deco building overlooks the National Zoological Park and Klingle Valley Park, which is near the Art Deco Klingle Valley Bridge. The original main building was built between 1930 and 1931 with 210 apartments.</p><br>
<p>The plans of its architect, Joseph Younger, called for a northeast wing and a south wing as well, but construction of these was stopped because of the onset of the Great Depression. The northeast wing was later built in 1935 with 107 additional apartments, as economic conditions improved in Washington. And the B. F. Saul Company, owner of the building since 1935, added the south wing between 2002 and 2004. The architect of the northeast wing was Alexander H. Sonneman, and of the south wing was Hartman-Cox. The current total number of apartments, ranging from efficiencies to three-bedroom units, is 425.</p><br>
<p>The Kennedy–Warren is considered the largest and best example of an Art Deco building in Washington. In 1989, the building was listed as a District of Columbia Historic Landmark, and in 1994 it was added to the National Register of Historic Places. The newer south wing won numerous awards for the quality of its architecture, and for attention to historical detail, including the 2005 Award of Excellence for Historic Resources by the American Institute of Architects.</p><br>
<h2>Construction</h2><br>
<p>In 1929, Monroe Warren Sr. approached Edgar S. Kennedy about the possibility of constructing a large apartment house on a tract that Kennedy owned on Connecticut Avenue. Kennedy was a partner with two brothers, William and Gordon, in Kennedy Brothers Company, a real estate development firm that had built a number of apartment houses in Washington, including Meridian Mansions (now The Envoy) at 2400 16th Street, N.W., facing Meridian Hill Park. Warren owned a construction firm, Monroe and R. B. Warren, Inc., that built co-operative apartment houses, including Tilden Gardens not far from the Kennedy–Warren.</p><br>
<p>Kennedy and Warren hired architect Joseph Younger (1894–1932) to design the building. Younger, a native of Washington, was a graduate of the architecture school at George Washington University, and had previously worked with Monroe Warren. Kennedy and Warren obtained $1.75 million in financing from the B. F. Saul Company, American Security Bank, and the Union Trust Company. They started work on the central section and the northwest wing (both facing Connecticut Avenue) in October 1930, and the building opened in October of the following year. Kennedy and Warren had been promised a loan by the Integrity Trust Company in Philadelphia to build the northeast and south wings, but it fell through with the worsening economic depression. In 1932, they filed for bankruptcy. B. F. Saul, as the principal creditor, obtained title to the building in 1935.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>Since the site of the Kennedy–Warren slopes steeply from Connecticut Avenue down to the National Zoo, the lobby level is designated as the third floor. The two residential levels below that have apartments that face the Zoo. Below those are four basement levels, including a large parking garage. The building is an imposing sight on Connecticut Avenue because of its massive size and fine detailing, which includes tan and orange variegated brick, limestone carvings, and the extensive use of aluminum. The Kennedy–Warren was the first building in Washington to use aluminum extensively; applications include the entrance porch, spandrels between the windows on the façade, balustrades in the lobby, and even an aluminum-leaf arched ceiling in the ground-floor corridors, unique in Washington. The stone carvings are in the Aztec Deco style, influenced by the carved stonework of ancient Mexico, and include griffins, eagles, and a frieze of elephants and starbursts and they rise three floors above street level.</p><br>
<p>An unusual feature of the Kennedy–Warren when it opened in 1931 was its air-cooling system. Three enormous fans drew cool air from Klingle Park at the back of the building and forced it through the public corridors. Residents could then open metal louvers above their hallway doors to cool individual apartments. Cross-ventilation during temperate weather was so effective that doorstops were required to prevent doors from slamming closed if left ajar. Advertisements for the Kennedy–Warren showed that the air was at least ten degrees cooler than on Connecticut Avenue. The fans were removed during the 2009–2011 renovation after central air conditioning was installed.</p><br>
<h2>Expansion</h2><br>
<p>In 2002, B. F. Saul undertook construction of the uncompleted south wing. Obtaining the necessary permits and approvals had taken five years. The architect was Hartman-Cox of Washington. The plans followed Joseph Youngers 1931 design very closely for the exterior. The Belden Brick Company of Canton, Ohio made the variegated brick to match exactly the brick of the historic building. New carvings of Indiana limestone match those in the original building as well. The Boose Aluminum Foundry Company of Reamstown, Pennsylvania, cast the spandrels for the south wing. (ALCOA had cast the originals on the historic main building.) Hartman-Cox diverged from Youngers plans for the exterior in one respect by adding balconies to the south and east sides where the south wing faces the National Zoo.</p><br>
<p>Joseph Younger&#39;s plan for the interior called for long corridors running through each floor. Hartman-Cox consulted with Robert M. Swedroe Architects and Planners of Miami, who are experts in apartment floor plans. They proposed replacing the long corridors with two widely spaced elevators, which in some cases open directly into the apartments. Eliminating the corridors saved space, increased privacy, and allowed for much larger apartments, some of which are unusual "pass-through" apartments. They have windows on both the front and the back of the building. Only the corridor on the ground floor connects to the 1931 building. The layout of the apartments is traditional, with enclosed kitchens and formal dining rooms. The largest, with two bedrooms, two baths, and a den, is 2300 square feet.</p><br>
<p>The south wing was completed in 2004. The amenities include a fitness club with steam rooms and a swimming pool facing the zoo. There is a large parking garage as well.</p><br>
<h2>Rent control controversy</h2><br>
<p>Shortly after the expansion construction began in 2002, B. F. Saul made several attempts to effectively remove the original wings of the Kennedy–Warren from being subject to the rent control laws of Washington. Although many tenants originally believed that the owners simply wanted to increase rents to take advantage of what was at the time a strong real estate market, it was later revealed that the company intended to gut the interior of the "Historic Wings" to convert them to high-end luxury apartments. This strategy began in 2002 with an attempt by the buildings owner to have current tenants voluntarily agree to raise rents for all future tenants by 300 percent. When the agreement failed to obtain an adequate number of tenant signatures, the owners pursued rent control litigation in an attempt to charge tenants for the cost of performing repairs and other infrastructure work on the building. Many tenants believed that this action violated the tenant-owner agreement that had helped to resolve the earlier zoning impediments to the expansion, and the buildings tenants&#39; association resolved to fight the rent increase litigation in court.</p><br>
<p>In January 2008, Kennedy–Warren tenants began a rent strike in protest of the owner&#39;s attempts to increase rents. Washington officials called it the first large-scale rent strike of its kind in the city. Shortly after the beginning of the strike, the B. F. Saul Company again attempted to reach an agreement with tenants to dramatically raise rents for future tenants of the original wings. While the agreement received more than the minimum number of signatures required under the law, the content of the agreement was determined by the city government to be illegal and "patently coercive." Following the rejection of this agreement, many tenants have continued on the rent strike; litigation brought by the owner to increase rents – as well as tenant litigation challenging existing rents – is pending.</p><br>
<h2>Restoration of the historic main building</h2><br>
<p>In 2009, B. F. Saul undertook the restoration and renovation of the historic main building, a project that was expected to cost $60 million. Contractors installed new double-hung mahogany windows, built a new roof and roof deck, and carefully cleaned the brick façade and aluminum spandrels following preservation standards. After discussions with the Art Deco Society of Washington as well as the residents, B. F. Saul decided to preserve the original floor plans of most apartments. As the contractors renovated each apartment, they kept the original hardware, including the glass door knobs and brass hinges, as well as the kitchen cabinets and apartment doors, and sanded and stained the original wood floors. To bring the building up to current standards, the wiring and plumbing were replaced, and a sprinkler system and central air-conditioning installed in the apartments and public areas. The central air-conditioning replaced window units as well as the huge basement fans, which had been in use since 1931. The company put new stoves and refrigerators in the apartments, and for the first time, washers and dryers. Shops and businesses on the lobby floor supplied such services for the residents.</p><br>
<p>Valley Craftsmen of Baltimore, Maryland, restored the elaborate Art Deco lobby. They re-stenciled the beamed ceiling in a geometric Art Deco design using gold leaf, and hand-painted the walls to resemble the original veneer panels. B. F. Saul replaced the missing Art Deco chandeliers and wall sconces and restored the handsome inlaid Art Deco elevator doors on the second, third, and fourth floors. On each side of the lobby is a lounge. The south lounge was restored to its original design, and the north lounge was converted to a piano bar which is open to residents. On the second floor there is a ballroom with fine Art Deco detailing. The ballroom was a popular venue for events of all kinds, and many of the best known big bands of the era played there. It has been closed for many years, but current plans (2011) call for it to be restored and reopened as an event space.</p><br>
<p>The Kennedy–Warren had a dining room which was operated as a public restaurant from 1931 until it closed in 1990. Such dining rooms once were common in Washington apartment houses, but the only one still in operation as of 2011 is in the Westchester, at 4000 Cathedral Avenue, N.W. B. F. Saul reportedly plans to reopen the Kennedy–Warren dining room, but it will be open only to residents.</p><br>
<h2>Notable residents</h2><br>
<p>During the 1930s and 1940s, many military officers resided at the Kennedy–Warren. In 1937 alone, there were 75 officers in the building, including 5 generals. Admiral Royal Eason Ingersoll (1883–1976) lived there during World War II. He was commander in chief of the Atlantic Fleet, and is credited with organizing the defeat of the German U-boat fleet during the war. Major General “Pa” Watson (1883–1945) lived with his wife in penthouse apartment 1102 from 1933 to 1945. General Watson was President Franklin Roosevelts senior military aide and appointment secretary. He accompanied FDR on all his travels, and died aboard ship in February 1945 while returning from the Yalta Conference. Harry Hopkins (1890–1946), FDRs closest political adviser, lived in the Kennedy–Warren during the 1930s. Hopkins headed three major New Deal agencies, including the Works Progress Administration. Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973) and his wife, Lady Bird, lived in a three-bedroom apartment in 1937 and 1938 when he first came to Washington as a junior congressman from Texas. Major General Lorenzo D. Gasser, the USA Army&#39;s Deputy Chief of Staff of the United States Army immediately prior to World War II, lived at the Kennedy–Warren. Lt. Leslie B. Knox, an Australian-born Coral Sea Battle naval hero after whom the USS L. B. Knox was named, lived there with his wife, Louise Kennedy Knox, who sponsored the destroyer in 1943. Biochemist Benjamin R. Jacobs and his wife, Margaret Connell Jacobs, maintained a residence at the Kennedy–Warren.</p><br>
<p>The Haymarket Martyrs Monument is a funeral monument and sculpture located at Forest Home Cemetery in Forest Park, Illinois, a suburb of Chicago. Dedicated in 1893, it commemorates the defendants involved in labor unrest who were blamed, convicted, and executed for the still unsolved bombing during the Haymarket Affair . The monuments bronze sculptural elements are by artist Albert Weinert. On February 18, 1997, the monument was designated a National Historic Landmark.</p><br>
<h2>History and description</h2><br>
<p>Following the Haymarket affair, trial and executions, August Spies, Adolph Fischer, George Engel, Louis Lingg, and Albert Parsons were buried at the German Waldheim Cemetery (later merged with Forest Home Cemetery).</p><br>
<p>The Pioneer Aid and Support Association organized a subscription for a funeral monument. In 1893, the Haymarket Martyrs&#39; Monument by sculptor Albert Weinert was raised at Waldheim. It consists of a 16-foot-high granite shaft capped by a carved triangular stone. There is a two step base, which also supports a pedestal and a monumental figure of Justice, depicted as a woman standing guard over the body of a fallen worker, both in bronze. In one hand, she holds a laurel wreath to crown the fallen. Resting on the top of the second step is an arrangement in bronze of palm branches. The inscription on the pedestal reads, "1887", the year of the executions. On the first step, there is a quote attributed to Spies, recorded just before his execution by hanging: "The day will come when our silence will be more powerful than the voices you are throttling today."</p><br>
<p>On the back of the monument are listed the names of the men. Above the names, a bronze plaque contains text of the pardon later issued by Governor John Peter Altgeld of Illinois.</p><br>
<p>The monument was dedicated on June 25, 1893, after a march from Chicago. The dedication ceremony was attended by 8,000, with trade union flags and the American flag draped on the monument. European unions and American organizations sent flowers to be placed. A number of activists and labor leaders were subsequently buried nearby. Haymarket defendants, Michael Schwab and Oscar Neebe were also buried at the monument when they died. Samuel Fielden is the only Haymarket defendant who is not buried at Forest Home. For years, annual commemorations were held.</p><br>
<p>Since the 1970s, the Illinois Labor History Society has held the deed to the monument and been responsible for its maintenance and restoration. It conducts monthly guided tours of Forest Home Cemetery from May through October.</p><br>
<h2>Time capsule</h2><br>
<p>In October 2016, volunteers and scientists dug near the base of the monument where they recovered an urn while searching for a lost time capsule that had been buried under the cornerstone on November 6, 1892, during the monument&#39;s construction. The urn was made of stone or concrete and capped in marble, 62 cm tall and 30 cm wide. According to a list in the records of the Pioneer Aid and Support Association, the lost time capsule is to contain newspaper articles, letters to and from the Haymarket defendants, and photographs of the men and their families. It also held trial documents, essays, and letters and testimonials from a number of labor unions and fraternal organizations. In addition, it may contain a bust of August Spies. Research is ongoing to determine the location of the time capsule.</p><br>
<p>The group that discovered the urn cylinder also found a smaller concrete cube thought to be a cremation vault for the ashes of Haymarket martyr Oscar Neebe, pardoned by Gov. John Altgeld, who died in 1916.</p><br>

<p>The John Humphrey House is a historic home in Orland Park, Illinois. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2005. The second permanent house built in Orland Park, it was home to Illinois Senator John Humphrey.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>John Humphrey, a native of Wisbech, England, came with his family in 1848 to the area that would become Orland Park, Illinois. He was elected to the Cook County Board of Supervisors in 1866 and elected supervisor of Orland Township four years later. Humphrey purchased a large plot of land in anticipation of the expansion of the Wabash, St. Louis & Pacific Railroad and rallied to have the lands named Orland Park in 1879. Humphrey was first elected to the Illinois House of Representatives in 1870 and to the Illinois Senate in 1886. The town of Orland Park was incorporated in 1892 and Humphrey was elected its first mayor, a position he held until his death in 1914.</p><br>
<p>Humphrey built his residence, the second permanent house in the town, in 1881. It was built in a vernacular four-over-four design with a two-story ell. Humphrey&#39;s son John Stuart maintained the house until 1987. The house was recognized by the National Park Service with a listing on the National Register of Historic Places on August 1, 2005.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The main facade of the house faces south. It has three bays with a one-story porch. The main entrance, with French doors, is centrally located. The other two bays feature double-hung windows on each story; wood shutters are original. The porch foundation was originally brick but has since been replaced with stone. The transom over the door and window hoods is generally Georgian in style. The porch roof, with wooden shingles, is hipped.</p><br>
<p>The Baháʼí House of Worship in Wilmette, Illinois  is a Baháʼí temple. It is the second Baháʼí House of Worship ever constructed and the oldest one still standing. It is one of eight continental temples, constructed to serve all of North America.</p><br>
<p>The temple was designed by French-Canadian architect Louis Bourgeois (1856–1930), who received design feedback from ʻAbdul-Bahá during a visit to Haifa in 1920. To convey the Baháʼí principle of the unity of religion, Bourgeois incorporated a variety of religious architecture and symbols. Although ʻAbdul-Bahá participated in a ground-breaking ceremony in 1912 that laid a cornerstone, construction began in earnest in the early 1920s and was delayed significantly through the Great Depression and World War II. Construction picked up again in 1947, and the temple was dedicated in a ceremony in 1953.</p><br>
<p>Baháʼí Houses of Worship are intended to include several social, humanitarian, and educational institutions clustered around the temple, although none have been built to such an extent. The temples are not intended as a local meeting place, but are instead open to the public and used as a devotional space for people of any faith.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<h3>Early plans</h3><br>
<p>In 1903, a small group of Baháʼís in downtown Chicago first discussed the idea of a Baháʼí House of Worship in the Chicago area. At the time, the worlds first House of Worship was being built in Ashgabat, Russian Turkistan (what is now Turkmenistan). The Ioas family was particularly involved in the first requests. A Baháʼí from Chicago named Corinne Knight True went on pilgrimage to the Ottoman province in the Levant in 1907 to visit ʻAbdul-Bahá, then leader of the religion, and tell him of the growing interest in a local house of worship. During Thornton Chases pilgrimage, he had asked ʻAbdul-Bahá about it as well and was directed to work with True as "complete directions" had been given to her. A series of newspaper articles in the fall of 1908 including Chase among a set of women in several newspapers about the aim of the Baháʼís to build it.From various of the articles the names include: Geraldine Farrar, Lillyan Shaffner, Ragna Linne, Nellie E Cox, Susan R Moody, Eva Russell, Mrs. A. B. Burrows, Jane Mason, Mrs. Edgar Waite, Mrs. A. R. Windust, Cecillia Harrison, Mrs. Albert Kirchner, Thornton B. Chase, Mr and Mrs. Marshall Roe, and Mrs. Flinn.</p><br>
<p>This interaction led to the next development of a national sense of community: The election of the first national council of the religion, with delegates present from across the US and Canada, in the spring of 1909. Thirty percent of the members elected were women. ʻAbdul-Bahá gave his blessing to the project, but recommended that the structure be built away from the Chicago business district, in a more quiet area near Lake Michigan. The Baháʼís considered building the temple in Chicagos Jackson Park or the suburb of Evanston, but eventually settled on Wilmette, Illinois, just north of Evanston. The site chosen for this project was found by True and selected for its proximity to lake Michigan and natural elevation.Stockman, Robert. "True, Corinne."</p><br>
<p>APA True began coordinating work and acted as the treasurer of the growing effort and it became a solace to her life in the face of many personal challenges. Subsequently, American Baháʼís came to refer to her as "the mother of the Temple" and she was eventually appointed one of the Hands of the Cause of the religion. The Baháʼí administrative body True initiated by direction of ʻAbdu&#39;l-Bahá, the Baháʼí Temple Unity, began purchasing land and gradually assumed larger responsibilities across communities until it was renamed the National Spiritual Assembly.</p><br>
<p>Baháʼís from around the world gradually raised funds to pay for the project. For example, French Baháís were noted as contributing even after facing the January 1910 Great Flood of Paris. A Chicago resident named Nettie Tobin, unable to contribute any money, famously donated a discarded piece of limestone from a construction site. This stone became the symbolic cornerstone of the building when ʻAbdul-Bahá arrived in Wilmette in 1912 for the ground-breaking ceremony during his journeys to the West. The actual construction of the building did not begin until the 1920s, after Baháʼís agreed to use a design by Louis Bourgeois. The design was seen as a mixture of many different architectural styles.</p><br>
<h3>Construction</h3><br>
<p>By 1922, the first part of the building, the Foundation Hall, was mostly finished, and Baháʼís began using it as a meeting place. Progress on construction soon stalled, however, as funds began to dwindle, and residents of Wilmette began expressing displeasure with the construction site. At this point, many strange rumors about the structure began to circulate. Some people believed that the building was used by the Baháʼís to keep a live white whale. Others said that the building was a refueling station for captured German submarines that had been brought to the Great Lakes.</p><br>
<p>Construction resumed as contributions from Baháʼís began to increase, and in 1930, the George A. Fuller Company was hired to complete the buildings superstructure. The superstructure was completed in 1931, and a year later, John Joseph Earley was hired to begin work on the buildings concrete cladding. A model of the temple was placed on display at Chicago&#39;s 1933–34 Century of Progress Exposition, and people began travelling to Wilmette to see the building taking shape. The temple was featured in a privately issued postal stationery cover on the occasion of the 20th anniversary of US airmail service in 1938. The exterior of the building was completed in January 1943.</p><br>
<p>Work remained to be done on the interior cladding of the structure, as well as the landscaping around the building. Louis Bourgeois&#39; designs for the interior were incomplete. He had died in 1930, before he could finish his plans, so in 1947, Alfred Shaw was hired to work on the interior detailing of the building. By the 1940s the temple was again featured on a privately issued postal stationery cover and was used by the US Navy during World War II as a rendezvous point for training fighter pilots from the nearby Glenview Naval Air Station, and, by 1946 to mark a flightpath of a Navy Mars Seaplane.</p><br>
<p>A plan for the building&#39;s gardens was approved in 1951, based on a design by Hilbert E. Dahl.</p><br>
<h3>Dedication and afterwards</h3><br>
<p>The temple was finally dedicated on May 2, 1953. Over 3,500 people attended the services, including 91-year-old Corinne True. Rúhíyyih Khánum, the wife of Shoghi Effendi (head of the religion after the death of ʻAbdu&#39;l-Bahá), read a prayer at the dedication. Several prominent figures, such as Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas and future justice Thurgood Marshall, sent messages of praise to the Baháʼís.</p><br>
<p>From 1958–2001, the Wilmette Baháí House of Worship was associated with a "home for the aged", operated by the USA Baháí community. The Baháí Home has since closed, although the building remains in use for a local Baháí School and a regional training center. A new welcome centre for the House of Worship was completed in 2015, described as connecting the temple with the community, including Baháís and non-Baháís.</p><br>
<h2>Features</h2><br>
<p>The House of Worship is a domed structure surrounded by gardens and fountains on a 6.97-acre (2.82 ha) plot of land. The space between the floor of the auditorium and the ceiling of the dome measures 138 feet (42 m) high, and the interior of the dome is 72 feet (22 m) in diameter. The auditorium seats 1,191 people.</p><br>
<p>Since nine is the last number in the decimal system, Baháʼís believe it symbolizes perfection and completion. Nine is also the value of the word Bahá (Arabic for "glory") in Abjad numerology. Thus, many elements of the building occur in groups of nine. For example, there are nine entrances to the auditorium, nine interior alcoves, nine dome sections, and nine fountains in the garden area.</p><br>
<p>The cladding of the building is composed of a concrete mixture of portland cement and two types of quartz. Many intricate details are carved into the concrete. Various writings of Baháʼu&#39;lláh, the founder of the religion, are inscribed above the building entrances and inside the interior alcoves. Symbols of many religions, such as the Christian cross, the Star of David, and the star and crescent, can be found in each exterior pillar. The pillars are also decorated with a symbol in the form of a swastika, which is also used by Hindus and Buddhists. At the top of each pillar is a nine-pointed star, symbolizing the Baháʼí Faith.</p><br>
<p>Inside the center of the dome ceiling, one can see an Arabic inscription. This is a Baháʼí symbol called the "Greatest Name&quot the script translates as "O Thou Glory of Glories". The secretary of Shoghi Effendi writing on his behalf explained, "By Greatest Name is meant that Baháʼulláh has appeared in Gods greatest name, in other words, that he is the supreme Manifestation of God."</p><br>

<h2>Recognition</h2><br>
<p>In 1978, the House of Worship was added to the National Register of Historic Places. The building has become a popular destination for tourists, and the Illinois Office of Tourism has named it one of the "Seven Wonders of Illinois". In 2012, the Baháí community of the United States celebrated the 100 years of the temple cornerstone dedication. In celebration of the 2018 Illinois Bicentennial, the Baháí House of Worship was selected as one of the Illinois 200 Great Places by the American Institute of Architects Illinois component (AIA Illinois) and was recognized by USA Today Travel magazine, as one of AIA Illinois selections for Illinois 25 Must See Places. In 2019, a photo of the Wilmette Baháí House of Worship was among the 15 winners of the annual international Wiki Loves Monuments photo contest.</p><br>

<p>White Oaks is a ghost town in Lincoln County, New Mexico, United States. Located on the outskirts of the Lincoln National Forest, it became a boomtown in 1879 following the discovery of gold and coal in the nearby Jicarilla Mountains.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The region, abundant with game, was first roamed by the Piros Indians who made it one of their hunting grounds. However, the invading Apaches drove them out and claimed it as their own.</p><br>
<p>The first Europeans to explore the area were the Spaniards of Don Juan de Oñate&#39;s expedition, who arrived in the late 1500s. They called the land Malpais (meaning "badlands") because of a nearby lava flow.</p><br>
<p>In the late 1870s, John J. Baxter, an unsuccessful California &#39;49er, heard reports of gold discovery in the area. He followed in the footsteps of local Mexican prospectors to a shallow canyon east to the mountains, where he discovered a rich gold field. Within a year, a mining camp of tents had appeared. Called White Oaks after a nearby stream, the camp soon grew to be a permanent settlement. It boasted 50 different businesses including four newspapers, two hotels, three churches, a sawmill, a bank, an opera house, livery stables, as well as saloons and gambling houses. A post office had opened as early as 1880.</p><br>
<p>Baxter and another prospector named Winters established two claims, known as the Homestake Mine and the South Homestake Mine. The local mountains would be named for Baxter. The parties later sold their claims for $300,000 apiece. The town was frequented by notable Old West personalities, including Dave Rudabaugh, Billy the Kid, Pat Garrett, and Shotgun John Collins. Jonathan H. Wise established the town&#39;s first newspaper in 1880, called the White Oaks Golden Era. Additional newspapers included the Lincoln County Leader, the Old Abe Eagle and the New Mexico Interpreter. (Florin, 1970, P. 662)</p><br>
<p>In November, 1880, a posse from White Oaks pursued Billy the Kid for more than forty miles, culminating in a standoff, during which was killed after trying to negotiate with the fugitives. National Park Service historian Robert M. Utley, in his book "Wanted: The Outlaw Lives of Billy the Kid and Ned Kelly," wrote that it is not known who shot Carlyle or why.</p><br>
<p>Billy the Kid later sent a letter to Governor Lew Wallace, disputing an account written in a Las Vegas, New Mexico newspaper claiming that Billy was the leader of a gang of outlaws. Billy said that he and Kelly had been in a ranch house when the posse surrounded it. Deputy Sheriff Carlyle entered the house by himself, demanding the fugitives surrender. Billy asked to see the warrants for their arrests, but Carlyle admitted he had none. Billy replied that without warrants, the posse was nothing but an armed mob and refused to surrender to them. He ordered Deputy Carlyle to remain in the house to keep the posse from attacking them, saying Carlyle should lead his men away in the morning. Shortly after that, the posse sent Billy a note demanding Carlyles immediate release. If he did not comply, they would kill "Mr. Greathouse", who was known to be Billys friend. Minutes later, a posse member fired a shot at the house. Deputy Carlyle used the confusion to jump out of a window and make his escape. Unfortunately, he was shot and killed by his own posse.</p><br>
<p>The United States census, taken in July 1880, showed that White Oaks had a population of about 800. It would eventually reach 4,000 people. (Florin Page 661) In 1882, construction was completed on Starr&#39;s Opera House, and the town now had saloons, several general stores, a school, and a town hall. In 1884, Lyman Hood held the first church services in an actual church building. These meetings having previously taken place in the town hall. During this period, there were brothels with many prostitutes, and the town was frequently a haven for cattle rustlers and other outlaws.</p><br>
<p>By 1885, White Oaks had settled down and was beginning to thrive. Three attorneys, John Y. Hewitt, Harvey B. Ferguson, and George Barber, opened businesses there, and other professionals began to arrive in town to open their own businesses. However, its continued existence was dependent on a railroad passing through it. In the late 1890s, both the Santa Fe and the El Paso and Northeastern railroads were planning to extend tracks toward White Oaks. Local business interests refused to make concessions to lure the railroad to town. Instead they attempted to charge premium prices for right-of-way properties, convinced that the railroads would compete for the privilege. As a result, the railroad chose to run twelve miles to the west, through Carrizozo, New Mexico. By the late 1890s the mines had become exhausted and the population dwindled. Today White Oaks is a ghost town, with just a few buildings still standing.</p><br>
<p>Susan McSween Barber, widow of Alexander McSween who was killed during the Lincoln County War, became known as the "Cattle Queen of New Mexico" in the late 19th century. She bought and developed the Three Rivers Ranch southwest of the town, eventually owning over 5,000 head of cattle. In 1902 she sold out and moved to White Oaks, where she remained until her death in 1931. She is buried in the old White Oaks cemetery, along with another notable, former New Mexico state Governor William McDonald, the state&#39;s first governor after achieving statehood, who had been President of the Exchange Bank of White Oaks and a local attorney.</p><br>
<p>In 1970, White Oaks was listed on the National Register of Historic Places as a historic district. By that time, very little remained of the original community; although the district covered over 1,800 acre, only 6 buildings had enough historical integrity to qualify as contributing properties.</p><br>
<p>Today, only one of the old saloons remains open, The No Scum Allowed Saloon.</p><br>
<p>The Joliet Iron and Steel Works was once the second largest steel mill in the United States. Joliet Iron Works was initially run from 1869 to 1936. Joliet Steel Works eventually became unprofitable, and all operations were ceased by the early 1980s.</p><br>
<p>In the 1990s, the Forest Preserve District of Will County purchased the property containing the ruins of the ironworks to preserve a piece of history. The district operates the site as the Joliet Iron Works Historic Site.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The works were originally owned and operated by the Joliet Iron and Steel Company, which was acquired by the Illinois Steel Company shortly after its formation in 1889. In turn, Illinois Steel was acquired by Federal Steel, which went on to be central in the formation of USA Steel.</p><br>
<p>The rolling mill, a key element of the works, struck its first blow in March 1873. Railroad rails rolled at the Joliet Works played a key role in the expansion of America&#39;s railroad infrastructure.</p><br>
<h3>Infrastructure</h3><br>
<p>The works had a dam on the Des Plaines River for power, and four blast furnaces capable of producing up to 2,000 tons of pig iron daily. There was also a stock house, a casting house, hot blast stoves, a skull house, a gas washing plant, a blowing engine house, and a gas engine house.</p><br>
<h3>Labor</h3><br>
<p>Around the turn of the century, Joliet Iron Works had approximately 2,000 workers on its payroll. Workers came from Southern Europe and Eastern Europe, and faced dangerous work hazards including toxic fumes, falls from high places, and extensive heat.</p><br>
<p>The workers at the Joliet Works were involved in the Steel Strike of 1919.</p><br>
<p>Around 1926, the Steel Works employed approximately 4,000 workers.</p><br>
<h3>The site today</h3><br>
<p>A 1.5 mi paved trail provides visitors a view of the remains of the Joliet Iron Works. The trail includes interpretive signs that explain the process of making iron and steel and the specific skills of the workers.</p><br>
<p>Bordering the Iron Works is the Illinois and Michigan Canal and attached I & M Canal Trail.</p><br>
<p>The site is also an access point for the 12.5 mi I&M Canal Trail/Centennial Trail. This trail, of which portions are paved or crushed limestone, connects Joliet&#39;s City Center to the Centennial Trail in Cook County, Illinois.</p><br>
<p>Amenities at Joliet Iron Works Historic Site were renovated in 2009 and 2010. The preserve now offers a picnic shelter, restroom facilities, and drinking water.</p><br>
<p>The Charles Capron House is an historic house at 2 Capron Street in Uxbridge, Massachusetts. Built in 1874, it is an locally distinguished example of Gothic Revival architecture. It is also notable for its association with Charles Capron, a local mill owner. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Capron House is prominently located at the corner of Capron and Mendon Streets (Massachusetts Route 16), a short way east of Uxbridge&#39;s downtown area. It is a -story wood-frame structure, with a mansard-style truncated hip roof, clapboard siding, and a granite foundation. Its main facade, facing southeast, is three bays wide, sheltered by a highly decorated open porch that joins the space between flanking polygonal window bays. A gable breaks the roof line above the entrance, and is decorated with Gothic woodwork, as are the dormers piercing the roof. Gothic details are continued on the flanking sides, and on the attached ell. The carriage barn at the rear of the property is a period structure; it is a two-story wood-frame structure, with a clipped gable roof topped by a cupola.</p><br>
<p>The house was built in 1874 by Charles Capron (which is for sale as of 10/2020), a member of the locally prominent Capron family who was one of the owners of the Capron Mill (no longer standing), and was responsible for the introduction of electricity into Uxbridge. Capron was also active in civic affairs, serving as town treasurer, town clerk, selectman, and as a state representative. The house is Uxbridge&#39;s finest example of Gothic Revival architecture.</p><br>
<p>The East Blackstone Friends Meetinghouse  is a historic Quaker meetinghouse in Blackstone, Massachusetts. The small single-story wood-frame structure was built in 1812 on land donated to the Quakers by Samuel Smith, a local landowner. The building was used regularly throughout the 19th century for meetings, and sporadically since then.</p><br>
<p>The meeting house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1995.</p><br>
<p>The Old Douglas Center Historic District encompasses the historic heart of Douglas, Massachusetts. The historic district radiates away from the town common, and is bounded by farmlands and more recent 20th-century development. There are 50 contributing resources in the 192 acre district. Most of the structures are residential houses in Federal and Greek Revival styles. There are a number of institutional buildings, including the 1834 Greek Revival First Congregational Church, the Craftsman-style Douglas Pastime Club building at 22 Church Street, and the c. 1770s Dudley Tavern. The town common and the adjacent Center Cemetery, laid out when the town was incorporated in 1746, are at the center of the district.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Douglas was established in the 1730s on land set off from Sherborn, and incorporated in 1746. The town common quickly became the focus of civic activity, and roads were laid out from surrounding towns to that area. A meeting house (parts reused in building the house at 1 SE Main Street) was built in 1747, and the surviving tavern was built in the 1770s. The importance of the center as a nexus of economic activity declined in the 19th century, as industrial activity grew along the Mumford River in East Douglas, which also benefited from the arrival of the railroad. Construction was modest in the center in the second half of the 19th century, with only two new houses built.</p><br>
<p>In the early 20th century, a few institutional buildings were added. In addition to the Douglas Pastime Club, and the 1921 two-room Douglas Center School, Colonial Revival houses were built at 8 and 16 Church Street, and a 1 Main Street. The church&#39;s steeple was damaged by the New England Hurricane of 1938 and rebuilt.</p><br>
<p>The district listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2001.</p><br>
<p>The Ethan Allen House and Gun Shop is an historic property at 37 Waterville Street in Grafton, Massachusetts. The property includes the home and business of armsmaker Ethan Allen. The gun shop was constructed in 1833, while the house was built in 1834–36. Allen, the inventor of the pepper-box revolver, began manufacturing guns in Grafton in 1832; his business was one of the earliest gunmakers in the region and an early part of Graftons industrial development. Allens home was a Greek Revival residence, an uncommon style in the area. The property was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1995.</p><br>
<p>Ethan Allen (not to be confused with American Revolutionary War hero Ethan Allen), was a native of Bellingham, Massachusetts who came to Grafton in 1831, where he manufactured cutlery before entering the arms business. The land for the house and shop was acquired in partnership with his father in 1832, and purchased by him outright in 1837. When Allen began making guns, he dammed the brook near the shop site to provide water power to the facility. While working at this shop, Allen produced the first known example of an "underhammer" pistol, and the first self-cocking gun with a barrel that rotates when the trigger is pulled. His shop, in which he worked until moving to Norwich, Connecticut in 1842, is one of the only examples of an early 19th-century gunshop in the state.</p><br>
<p>The Old Richmond Historic District is a neighborhood of historic residential and commercial buildings and national historic district located at Richmond, Wayne County, Indiana.

It developed between about 1816 and 1925 and includes representative examples of Greek Revival, Italianate, and Gothic Revival style architecture. Located in the district is the separately listed Bethel A.M.E. Church. Other notable contributing buildings include the William Paul Quinn House , Elijah Coffin House , Henry Davis House , Rankempf Cottage , Hall Town House , Edward Frauman House , and Lydia Pierce Cottage .</p><br>
<p>The district was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1974 and expanded in 2003.</p><br>
<p>The Samuel Freeman House  is a Frank Lloyd Wright house in the Hollywood Hills of Los Angeles, California built in 1923. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1971. The house is also listed as California Historical Landmark #1011 and as Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument #247.</p><br>
<h2>Significance</h2><br>
<p>As an example of Wrights Mayan Revival or early Modernist architecture, the structure is noteworthy as one of the four textile block houses built by Wright in the Los Angeles area, the others being Storer House, Ennis House, and Millard House. It has the worlds first glass-to-glass corner windows. The construction manager on site was Wright&#39;s son, Lloyd Wright.</p><br>
<p>The house was known as an avant-garde salon, and the list of individuals who spent significant periods of time there or lived in the house&#39;s two Rudolph Schindler-designed apartments includes John Bovingdon, Beniamino Bufano, Xavier Cugat, Rudi Gernreich, Martha Graham, Philip Johnson, Peter Krasnow, Bella Lewitzky, Jean Negulesco, Richard Neutra, Claude Rains, Herman Sachs, Galka Scheyer, Edward Weston, Olga Zacsek, and Fritz Zwicky. It also served as an intellectual sanctuary for individuals blacklisted by the House Un-American Activities Committee.</p><br>
<h2>Ownership</h2><br>
<p>The original owners lived in the house until Harriet Freeman&#39;s death in 1986, when she bequeathed it to the USC School of Architecture. The house suffered severe damage during the 1994 Northridge earthquake. In 2005, the school completed a stabilization project using a $901,000 FEMA grant and $1.5 million in school funds.</p><br>
<p>In 2012, a pair of cast iron & brass floor lamps designed by Wright as well as a cushioned folding chair and a tea cart designed by Schindler were discovered stolen from a storage facility where they were placed after the 1994 Northridge Earthquake. The items were discovered missing in 2012 from a locked room in the storage facility managed by USC&#39;s School of Architecture. The theft remained unreported to the LAPD until 2019.</p><br>
<p>In 2022, USC sold the house to a real estate developer, Richard Weintraub, under the condition that it be preserved.</p><br>
<h2>Studies</h2><br>
<p>A 3,200-page, seven-volume set of books published in 2014 documented a five-year program of studying the history and condition of the house.</p><br>
<p>The Western Kentucky University Heating Plant is a historic structure on the campus of Western Kentucky University. Constructed in 1927, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places on December 18, 1979.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Heating Plant was constructed in 1927 to provide heat to the growing number of buildings on the campus of Western Kentucky University. It was designed by architect Brinton B. Davis of Louisville, nicknamed the "hill builder" for his hand in designing multiple structures at Western.</p><br>
<p>The plant provided heat by way of underground pipes encased in concrete masonry. Originally, a spur of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad led to the building, which used coal transported by train for heat production.</p><br>
<h2>Renovations and upgrades</h2><br>
<p>The Heating Plant has been upgraded or expanded a number of times.</p><br>
<p>In 1963, the original building was expanded. In the 1970s, a new wing was added to the building, bordering College Heights Blvd.</p><br>
<p>More recent upgrades to the facility have focused on the internal equipment used for steam generation. A project undertaken in 2002 focused on upgrading the boilers in the building, while another undertaken in 2006 focused on ancillary equipment and emissions control at the plant.</p><br>
<h2>Modern use</h2><br>
<p>The Heating Plant was one of multiple buildings on campus designed by Davis that were added to the National Register in 1979.</p><br>
<p>While the spur track has been removed, the railroad line still runs near the Heating Plant.</p><br>
<p>Today, the plant is still in use. It is surrounded by many newer buildings, notably student parking structures and modern residence halls. The Plant is located near the intersection of College Heights Blvd. and University Blvd.</p><br>
