<p>The Marion County Courthouse is the seat of government for Marion County, Ohio, United States. The Marion County Courthouse was built during 1884–1886.</p><br>
<p>Ten niches are decorated with sandstone heads of various figures. Four of them are meant to depict various races—a white woman, an African man, an Asian man, and an American Indian man. Other heads include two settler girls and a settler woman, plus a head similar to depictions of William Shakespeare.</p><br>
<p>In the 1970s, county officials announced a plan to perform extensive changes the buildings interior, which had previously experienced few modifications since construction. The Marion County Historical Society protested the plans and aroused substantial public displeasure; preparations were made for a referendum to repeal the plans, and enough local residents signed a ballot petition that it would have qualified for a vote, but no vote was held because Ohio law does not permit referendums of the sort. Numerous original wood carvings and paintings were destroyed, ceilings were dropped, and aluminum doors installed. County officials sought to mollify local ire by retaining the buildings exterior, including restoring the statue of Justice atop the tower.</p><br>
<p>The Old Third District Courthouse in New Bedford, Massachusetts, United States, is located at the corner of Second and William streets. It was built in 1853 by Russell Warren in the Greek Revival architectural style, as the home of the New Bedford Institute for Savings, a local bank. After the bank moved, the Bristol County courts came in. They, too, eventually outgrew it and moved elsewhere in the city. Since the creation of New Bedford Whaling National Historic Park in 1996, it has been used by the National Park Service  as the park&#39;s visitor center.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The building itself is a small two-story three-by-three-bay structure of brick with a raised basement and sandstone facade. A small bracketed cornice tops the windows and main entrance on William Street, which is fronted by a granite balustraded porch. The roofline is marked by a pediment. "THIRD DISTRICT COVRT OF BRISTOL" is carved into the second story in prominent letters.</p><br>
<p>It began life as the NBISs building. When whaling declined in New Bedford, to be replaced by textiles, the bank moved to larger quarters downtown where it has remained ever since. In 1896 the courts moved in, but later needed more space themselves and moved out. During the mid-20th century it became a store, selling antiques at one time and auto parts at another. It had come back around to being used as a branch by Fleet Bank in 1995 when New Bedfords Waterfront Historic Preservation LEague (WHALE) bought it and turned it over to the NPS.</p><br>
<p>In 1971 it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It is one of 20 contributing properties to the New Bedford Historic District, a National Historic Landmark, and diagonally opposite the USA Customhouse, also a National Historic Landmark.</p><br>
<h2>Visitor Center</h2><br>
<p>Inside the building, during its hours of operation, park rangers offer guided walking tours of the historical park, which covers much of the waterfront area of New Bedford. The parks gift shop is also located on the premises. According to a 1999 study conducted for the Park Service, it is the most frequent start of a visitors journey through the park.</p><br>
<p>Engine House No. 18 is a fire station in the West Adams neighborhood of Los Angeles, California.</p><br>
<p>Built in 1904, the station was designed in the Mission Revival style by architect John Parkinson, whose later works included Los Angeles City Hall, Union Station, and Bullocks Wilshire. In 1915, Engine House No. 18 was one of a dozen stations closed because of budget cutbacks resulting from the "two-platoon ordinance" passed by the Los Angeles City Council in 1915. The station re-opened in 1920 and remained an operating fire station until 1968. In 1932, former fireman James F. Fourong was arrested for burglarizing Engine House No. 18. Fourong had looted other fire stations by phoning in false alarms and then entering the firehouse while the men responded to the call. In February 1932, Fourong attempted a robbery at Engine House No. 18 but was surprised by a fireman while burglarizing the lockers. After the building had been vacant for sixteen years, the Community Redevelopment Agency in 1984 agreed to a $28,000 contract with Woodford & Bernard, architects, to prepare construction documents for the restoration of Engine House No. 18. The plan was to restore and convert the firehouse into a community-oriented professional training center at a cost of $225,000.</p><br>
<p>Artist Wendell Collins provided art to the community from 1987 to 2004.</p><br>
<p>Through a competitive bidding process that began in December 2009, the Community Redevelopment Agency of the City of Los Angeles (CRA/LA) awarded the Exceptional Children&#39;s Foundation (ECF) the opportunity to purchase Engine House No. 18. ECF purchased the property in 2011 with the goal of converting the cultural landmark into a fine arts training center for adults with special needs and a community creative space for the residents of South Los Angeles.</p><br>
<p>Renovations of the site began in June 2012. ECF re-opened Engine House No. 18 as its South L.A. Art Center in the spring of 2013. Approximately 50 participants with developmental disabilities annually are provided with daily fine art instruction, life skills training, and case management services at this location. The center also hosts exhibits of the participants&#39; artwork along with creations by other community artists.</p><br>
<p>The Cuyahoga County Courthouse stretches along Lakeside Avenue at the north end of the Cleveland Mall in downtown Cleveland, Ohio. The building was listed on the National Register along with the mall district in 1975. Other notable buildings of the Group Plan are the Howard M. Metzenbaum USA Courthouse designed by Arnold Brunner, the Cleveland Public Library, the Board of Education Building, Cleveland City Hall, and Public Auditorium.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Cuyahoga County was established in 1807 with the county seat still in the air. The county decided to place the temporary county seat in the largest settlement of Cleveland. The courts met in various taverns and inns around town while waiting for the courthouse to be built. This first courthouse was designed and built by Levi Johnson. The building was completed in 1813 and was a simple Federal style stone structure. The structure was five bays wide and two piles deep, with doors located in the center and to the right corner of the facade. A rectangular window was located between these doors with a smaller square window to the left of the central door. Five rectangular windows lit the second floor. The pitched roof was framed by brick chimneys on either end. The clapboard siding was painted red with white trim boards.</p><br>
<p>The county occupied this courthouse when the decision was made to make Cleveland the permanent county seat. The county soon erected a new courthouse in 1828. Henry Noble built the new courthouse of brick two stories tall. The front of the courthouse was framed by four colossal Doric columns supporting an entablature. The interior was illuminated by large rectangular windows piercing the facade. The flat roof supported a cupola which located in the center of the building. The cupola rose on Ionic columns and supported a lantern capped by a weather vane. This courthouse remained in use until the 1850s.</p><br>
<p>The growth of Cleveland, and consequently the legal business of Cuyahoga County, had for some time foreshadowed the necessity for increased courthouse facilities, and action was taken in the period now under consideration. It was decided to clear Public Square permanently of official buildings, and accordingly a new structure and a new site were agreed upon. This latter was situated just north of the northwest corner of Public Square, on the north side of Rockwell street. On November 10, 1857, the County Commissioners contracted with George P. Smith and James Pannell to erect a substantial stone edifice, three stories high, at a cost of $152,500. The new third courthouse was designed by J.J. Husband, an amateur designer, built in 1858. This new building, built of stone was designed in the Italianate style. The building has a square footprint with a central entrance. The entrance is contained a slightly projected bay with two windows on either side. The windows in the basement are small arched panels with the main floor windows slightly larger. The second floor windows are large arched windows separated by Corinthian pilasters. A decorative frieze separated the second floor from the third floor and a pediment topping the center projection. A mansard roof tops the building with dormer windows lining the facade. Four large chimneys framed the building on the sides. This building, eventually called "the old court-house," filled all the requirements of county business until 1875.</p><br>
<p>Ground was then purchased on Seneca Street (West 3rd St.), running back to the county jail on Rockwell street, and a contract let for a new court-house, at a cost of $250,000. So, in 1875 a 4th courthouse was constructed. It was nearly square, running seventy feet in each direction with rooms for various officials and the courts in the Seneca (West 3rd St.) front of the building, with the jail in the rear.</p><br>
<p>In 1884 the county was faced with a problem of room and space in the courtroom and the decision was made to expand the current building than to build a new one. Therefore, a still further increase of facilities was made in 1884, when two stories were added to the old building on public square, at a cost of nearly $100,000. The building transformed from a -story building to a 5-story building. The facade was changed as well with the central projection going from one arched window to three arched windows on the second and third floor and four arched windows on the fourth and fifth. To either side of the central projection is an arched window. A larger pediment tops the projection with dentil moldings lining the overhangs. The hipped roof rose to support a small gabled tower with a decorative frieze. The chimneys on the sides were built up to rise over the roof and were each equipped with pipes that ventilated many fireplaces and heaters.</p><br>
<p>The county was in need once again of larger facilities for county operations and the design was awarded to Walter Blythe. The site that was chosen was along the Cleveland Mall and was designed in the style that matched many of the Beaux Arts style of the federal buildings sprouting along the Washington D.C. Mall. It is one of several buildings built as part of the Cleveland Group Plan of 1903, an early City Beautiful-era city plan designed by Daniel Burnham, Arnold Brunner, and John Carrere. All previous courthouses have since been demolished.</p><br>
<h2>Exterior</h2><br>
<p>The building was constructed from 1906 to 1912 by the architectural firm of Lehman & Schmitt. The building is Beaux Arts style and is constructed of Milford pink granite from Massachusetts. The rusticated masonry of the ground floor includes deeply recessed and arched windows and doors. A protruding keystone tops each one. The front entrance is flanked by bronze statues of Thomas Jefferson and Alexander Hamilton sculpted by Karl Bitter. Directly above the front entry doors are three large arched windows between fluted columns of the Ionic order allowing daylight into the courtroom within. The frieze of the cornice includes the inscription "Cuyahoga County Courthouse". Above the cornice are several stone statues of historical law givers. Two of these figures, of Edward I and John Hampden, were sculpted by Daniel Chester French. The rear elevation facing Lake Erie is composed similarly, but with the inscription "Obedience to Law is Liberty". A pediment with a plain tympanum surmounts the central element of the facade on both the north and south elevations. A statue of Alfred the Great stands on the north side of the building.</p><br>
<p>The interior contains murals by Frank Brangwyn, Violet Oakley, Charles Yardley Turner, Max Bohm and Frederick Wilson.</p><br>
<p>Catherineberg Sugar Mill Ruins is an historic site located in the Virgin Islands National Park, east of Cruz Bay on Saint John, USA Virgin Islands. The ruins are an example of an 18th-century sugar and rum factory.</p><br>
<p>To reach Catherineberg, turn north on John Head Road from Centerline Road. There is room for several cars to park right next to the windmill.</p><br>
<p>The "most impressive" ruin is that of an unusual windmill tower.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>A sugar plantation from the 18th to the 19th centuries, the farm eventually became land for grazing cattle.</p><br>
<p>In 1733 one of the first significant slave rebellions in the New World took place on Saint John when African slaves took over the island for six months. During the slave revolt, the farm was the headquarters of the Amina warriors.</p><br>
<p>Today the sugar mill ruins are located in a protected area in the Virgin Islands National Park. It is one of 17 properties in the park that were listed on the USA National Register of Historic Places by 1981. The property was added to the USA National Register of Historic Places on March 30, 1978.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>Catherineberg Sugar Mill Ruins are an example of an 18th-century sugar and rum factory. The documented ruins on the site are the windmill, a still, a factory, a horse mill, a stable and oxpound, and two unidentified structures.</p><br>

<p>The Shockoe Hill Cemetery is a historic cemetery located on Shockoe Hill in Richmond, Virginia.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Shockoe Hill Cemetery, as it is presently called, was established in 1820, with the initial burial made in 1822. It was earlier known as the "New Burying Ground" and also the "Shockoe Hill Burying Ground". This cemetery has long been recognized as the city of Richmonds first truly municipal cemetery for white persons -- that is, the first to be founded, opened, and operated using detailed record-keeping, by the City of Richmond. (The older St. Johns Church Cemetery, founded by the Anglican Church, was operated in part by the City as a municipal burying ground. The Shockoe Bottom African Burial Ground (historically called the Burial Ground for Negroes), was a municipal burial ground established by the city of Richmond in 1799, as was the 1816 "Burying Ground for Free People of Color and the Burying Ground for Negroes (enslaved)", now called the "Shockoe Hill African Burying Ground" (see below)).</p><br>
<p>Shockoe Hill Cemetery expanded in 1833, in 1850, and in 1870, when it reached its present size of 12.7 acres.</p><br>
<p>Among many notables interred at the Shockoe Hill Cemetery are Chief Justice John Marshall, Unionist spymaster Elizabeth Van Lew, Revolutionary War hero Peter Francisco, and Virginia Governor William H. Cabell. More than thirteen hundred servicemen are known to be buried here, including at least 22 Revolutionary War veterans; at least 400 War of 1812 veterans; and an estimated 900 Civil War soldiers, both veterans and wartime casualties. Members of the General Society of the War of 1812 have suggested that more veterans of that War are buried at Shockoe Hill, than at any other cemetery in the country. More than 500 Union Army prisoners of war had been buried in Shockoe Hill Cemetery&#39;s adjoining African Burying Ground during the Civil War, but the soldiers remains were moved in 1866 to Richmond National Cemetery, three miles to the east. Two markers, one placed by the United Daughters of the Confederacy in 1938, and the other by the Military Order of the Loyal Legion of the United States (a/k/a MOLLUS) in 2002, memorialize those POW burials.</p><br>
<p>The Cemetery is open to burials of family members in existing family plots; the last such burial occurred in 2003. In July 2016 the City reclaimed title to several unused plots, on one of which there are plans to install a columbarium with niches to hold urns with cremated remains. Those plots (and eventually, niches) are available for purchase by the general public, marking the first sale of grave spaces in the Cemetery since about 1900. Shockoe Hill Cemetery is across Hospital Street from the Hebrew Cemetery of Richmond, a separate and privately-owned cemetery.</p><br>
<p>Shockoe Hill Cemetery is on the Virginia Landmarks Register and National Register of Historic Places. The City still owns and maintains the cemetery. The Friends of Shockoe Hill Cemetery, a volunteer group formed in 2006, acts as a steward of the cemetery and assist with upkeep and improvement, including organizing the placement of government-issue military markers.</p><br>
<p>The City of Richmond acquired a 28 and 1/2-acre parcel in 1799 for the main purpose of creating a burial ground for white persons. On that same property, the City also established a "Poor-house" for indigent citizens. The land was well outside the center core of the City, located on its northern edge and extending into Henrico County. The earliest interments made there were of people who died at the Poor-house. The parcel eventually was divided to contain the walled Shockoe Hill Cemetery, and also a burial place for Richmonders of color, established on the northeast corner of 5th and Hospital streets, where burials began in 1816. This burial ground was originally composed of two adjacent one-acre plots, the "Burying Ground for Free People of Colour" and the "Burying Ground for Negroes" (Enslaved). Taken together, this ground for people of African descent (the Shockoe Hill African Burying Ground) was also greatly expanded over the following fifty years. The 1835 Plan of the City of Richmond shows an expansion of at least an acre to the slave burying ground. In 1850, when the city added 5 acres to the walled Shockoe Hill Cemetery, it also added 9 acres to what would come to be labeled on the 1853 Map of the County of Henrico as the "African Burying Ground", and additionally included the City Hospital grounds. An 1816 plan of the city property also depicts the areas in which people of colour and white persons who died at the Poor-house were interred.</p><br>
<p>This now-invisible Shockoe Hill African Burying Ground, functioned as a segregated adjunct to Shockoe Hill Cemetery until it was closed to burials in 1879. Its grounds eventually were disposed of by the city, some of which became part of the Hebrew Cemetery. This burying ground is today also referred to by some as the "2nd African Burial Ground" or "second African Burying Ground" and "African Burial Ground II". It has suffered numerous atrocities over time, and to this day continues to be threatened. Present threats include the DC2RVA high-speed passenger rail project, and the east-west Commonwealth Corridor, the proposed widening of I-64, as well as various infrastructure projects.</p><br>
<p>The Shockoe Hill African Burying Ground had never been included in the historical designations of the Shockoe Hill Cemetery, or the Hebrew Cemetery, and had been largely forgotten. However, on July 28, 2021 a newly completed was submitted to the Virginia Department of Historic Resources (DHR), seeking inclusion in the Virginia Landmarks Register (VR) and the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). The Shockoe Hill African Burying Ground is a part of the historic district. On March 17, 2022 the nomination was presented to the Virginia Board of Historic Resources, and the State Review Board. By their unanimous decision, the Shockoe Hill Burying Ground Historic District was added to the Virginia Landmarks Register. The nomination was then reviewed and considered by the National Park Service for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places. Effective June 16, 2022 the Shockoe Hill Burying Ground Historic District was officially listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>Notable burials</h2><br>
<p>Shockoe Hill Cemetery holds the graves of Chief Justice John Marshall;Rudd, A. Böhmer. attorney John Wickham (counsel for Aaron Burr in Burrs 1807 treason trial); Revolutionary War hero Peter Francisco; famed Union spy Elizabeth Van Lew, as well as many members of her spy network; Richmond distiller Franklin Stearns, John Minor Botts, a Congressman and later a dedicated Unionist who helped lead opposition to the Confederate government; Virginia Governor William H. Cabell; acting Virginia governors John Mercer Patton (General George S. Pattons great-grandfather), John Rutherfoord, and John Munford Gregory; Judge Dabney Carr; United States Senators Powhatan Ellis and Benjamin W. Leigh; Dr. Daniel Norborne Norton, developer of the Norton grape; more than twenty Revolutionary War veterans; and hundreds of Confederate soldiers. It is believed the more than 400 veterans of the War of 1812 buried here is the largest such assemblage in the country.</p><br>
<p>Many people important in the life of Edgar Allan Poe, who grew up and lived much of his adult life in Richmond, are interred at Shockoe Hill. Among them are Frances K. Allan, beloved foster-mother to Poe, and her husband John; Sarah Elmira Royster Shelton, perhaps the great love of Poe&#39;s life; and Jane Stith Craig Stanard, wife of prominent judge Robert Stanard, a warm friend to a teenaged Poe, and the inspiration for his poem "To Helen". Poe is known to have visited the Cemetery many times in his life.</p><br>
<p>The Apollo Theatre in Martinsburg, West Virginia, US was designed by architect Reginald Geare with local architect Chapman E. Kent, and erected in 1913 by theater owner H. P. Thorn. As constructed it had a seating capacity of 1000, and was used for movies, vaudeville and concerts. Upper floors provided meeting spaces for large groups.</p><br>
<p>The Apollo Theatre is operated as a community-supported facility. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979. It is included in the Downtown Martinsburg Historic District.</p><br>
<p>Cool Spring Farm — also known as Rockdale Spring Farm and Torytown — was a wilderness estate settled by Colonel Morgan Morgan , long celebrated as the first permanent European settler in what would become West Virginia. The Welsh-born Morgan was granted 1,000 acre here in 1735, but he is believed to have first settled there in 1731. Recent research indicates that Morgan&#39;s settlement was not the first, but was preceded by a German settlement at what became "New Mecklinberg", possibly as early as 1726.</p><br>
<p>Morgan Morgan&#39;s seventh son, Zackquill Morgan (1735-1795), built the house in 1761, but sold the farm in 1765 and moved west to Monongalia County, Virginia, now West Virginia, to establish his namesake settlement of Morgantown in 1781.</p><br>
<p>After changing hands several times, the property was purchased by John McKown, Jr. in 1827. His son Edmund renamed the farm "Rockdale Spring Farm". The sons of John McKown owned considerable lands in the area of Gerrardstown during the late 19th century.</p><br>
<p>The George Washington Hollida House is a brick house built c. 1842 near the village of Scrabble, West Virginia, United States. The Hollida  House is an example of an I-house with a five-bay front and a four-bay ell extending to the rear with Greek Revival detailing. The property includes several outbuildings and a bank barn. The Hollida house is included in the larger Scrabble Historic District, which encompasses the entire village.</p><br>
<p>St. Augustine Catholic Church and Cemetery, or the Isle Brevelle Church, is a historic Catholic parish property founded in 1829 near Melrose, Natchitoches Parish, Louisiana. It is the cultural center of the Cane River area&#39;s historic French, Spanish, Native American and Black Creole community. It is also the oldest surviving Black Catholic church in the United States.</p><br>
<p>Established as a mission church by Louisiana Creole Nicolas Augustin Metoyer, St. Augustine is celebrated as the first church in Louisiana to be built by and for free people of color. It is also among the oldest churches founded and built by and for African Americans.</p><br>
<p>The church and cemetery are within the Cane River National Heritage Area, and are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Because of its significance in Catholic and Creole history, St. Augustine also is a marked destination on the Louisiana African American Heritage Trail.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<h3>19th century</h3><br>
<p>Tradition holds that the church was established by Nicolas Augustin Metoyer in 1803 and that services have been held continuously since then. Historical records challenge the local lore. Parish records document the founding of the Chapel of St. Augustine "as a mission of the church of St. François of Natchitoches" in July 1829, shortly after the church was constructed. The mission was recognized in 1856 as a parish in its own right, and authorized a resident priest.</p><br>
<p>When Father Jean Baptiste Blanc consecrated the chapel for religious use (19 July 1829), he reported that it had been "erected on Isle Brevelle on the plantation of Sieur Augustin Metoyer through the care and generosity of the above-named Augustin Metoyer, aided by Louis Metoyer, his brother.... The said chapel... having been dedicated to St. Augustine, shall be considered as under the protection of this great doctor." Tradition also describes the role of Augustins brother Louis (founder of the nearby Melrose Plantation, a National Historic Landmark ), as the chapels designer and builder.</p><br>
<p>The Church of St. Augustine is distinctive among Southern churches of all denominations for its racial role reversals. Surviving pew records show that the front seats were occupied by the Créole de couleur Metoyer family who built the chapel. Seated behind them were the families of prominent white planters and other Creoles within the community with surnames Blanchard, Brevelle, Garcia, Landry, and Lemoine. Post-Civil War, St. Augustine chalked up another apparent first in USA racial history: its own congregation by this time was almost exclusively people of color; but, it served as the mother church for the predominantly white congregation of Mission Ste. Anne on Old River.</p><br>
<p>The original structure has not survived. Union forces during the Red River Campaign of May 1864 were said to have torched the first church.</p><br>
<p>On March 11, 1856, the mission of St. Augustine at Isle Brevelle was decreed by Bishop Auguste Martin to be a parish in its own right and assigned Fr. Francois Martin to be its first resident pastor. As a parish in its own right, St. Augustine expanded to serve four other churches in the area: St. Charles Chapel at Bermuda, St. Anne Church (Spanish Lake) (serving the Adai Caddo Indians of Louisiana), St. Joseph&#39;s Catholic Mission at Bayou Derbonne, and St. Anne Chapel at Old River.</p><br>
<h2>20th century</h2><br>
<p>A second church burned in the early 1900s. It was replaced by the present-day church building, which was completed in 1917. Tradition holds that early furnishings included paintings of patron saints Augustine and Louis, in honor of the Metoyer brothers, as well as an altar brought from Europe by other family members. The original bell that hung in the belfry above the vestibule is said to be the one still in use. An image of the original church survives as a backdrop in the contemporary oil portrait of its founder that hangs in the church today.</p><br>
<p>An oil painting titled Papa Augustin Metoyer (c. 1836) has hung in the church since the 1970s, featuring a portrait of Nicolas Augustin Metoyer posing in a Prince Albert coat and swath of green fabric. This painting had been part of the Melrose Planation and went up for auction in the 1970s, the pastor of the church brought the oldest descendants of Nicolas Augustin Metoyer to the auction and they pleaded to be allowed to purchase the painting for the Isle Brevelle community and for display in the church.</p><br>
<p>For many years an annual festival for the Isle Brevelle community has been held at St. Augustine Church.</p><br>
<h2>Créole community</h2><br>
<p>The first Creole to settle the area is Jean Baptiste Brevelle II. Isle Brevelle and Bayou Brevelle are named for him. Brevelle was an 18th-century explorer and soldier of the Natchitoches Militia. He is the son of Jean Baptiste Brevelle, a Parisian-born trader and explorer, and his Adai Caddo Indian wife, Anne des Cadeaux. The baptism of Jean Baptiste Brevelle II is recorded on May 20, 1736 in the oldest Catholic Registry in the Louisiana colony. Brevelle was granted the island by David Pain, the subdelegate at Natchitoches in 1765 for his service to the French and Spanish crowns as a Caddo Indian translator and explorer of Arkansas, Oklahoma, Texas, and New Mexico.</p><br>
<p>The Metoyer brothers were two of ten children of the French merchant Claude Thomas Pierre Metoyer and the former slave Marie Thérèse Coincoin, sometimes (albeit erroneously) called Marie Thérèse Metoyer. He had initially leased her services as a domestic and concubine. When the parish priest filed charges against the black Coincoin for bearing mixed-race children while living in the residence of a white man, and threatened to sell her away to New Orleans, Metoyer bought her from her owner and privately manumitted her. Across the next thirty-seven years, he manumitted each of their children.</p><br>
<p>Coincoin, as a médecine, planter, and businesswoman, worked to buy the freedom of her five older black children from an earlier union with another slave. She secured that freedom for three of them. Together, her offspring and their families created a large Créole of color community in Natchitoches Parish that spread the length of Cane River Lake.</p><br>
<p>Its core would be, and still is, St. Augustine Parish on Isle Brevelle.</p><br>
<h2>Representation in other media</h2><br>
<p>Elizabeth Shown Mills&#39;s historical novel, Isle of Canes, draws upon her research in both family tradition and primary sources. She explores the founding of St. Augustine and the character of the religious leadership of the Isle Brevelle community in Creole Louisiana.</p><br>
<p>The Church is depicted in the 1982 historical romantic drama Cane River, which was lost for decades before being rediscovered a distributed digitally and in theaters beginning in 2020.</p><br>
<p>Founder&#39;s Hall, also known as Haskell Hall, is a historic academic building located on the campus of Atlantic Union College in Lancaster, Massachusetts, United States. Constructed in 1883, it holds the distinction for being the oldest educational building constructed for a Seventh-day Adventist institution. The notable building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980, recognizing its significance in American history and architecture.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Founder&#39;s Hall is situated near the center of the Atlantic Union College campus, located on the west side of Main Street (Massachusetts Route 70) in South Lancaster, Massachusetts. It is a charming 2.5-story wood-frame building, with a hip roof and a projecting gable section crowned by a square tower. This tower has an open upper level, with arched openings supported by square posts. A shed-roof porch, adorned with Victorian trim, extends across the projecting section.</p><br>
<p>Originally known as South Lancaster Academy, the school was established in 1883 by Stephen N. Haskell, an elder of the Seventh-day Adventist (SDA) church. The building was designed by Worcester architects Barker & Nourse, and is the oldest educational SDA facility standing. It was built using mainly donated labor, from wood cut nearby. whose administrative offices it now houses.</p><br>
<p>The F.W. Smith Silver Company is a historic factory building at 60 Chestnut Street in Gardner, Massachusetts. It was built in 1892 by Frank W. Smith, who had begun manufacturing sterling silver silverware in 1886. The business continued under a succession of owners until 1958. The building is locally distinguished for its late Victorian commercial style, including a tower with pyramidal roof, and stained glass windows. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.</p><br>
<p>The Smith Silver Company building is located in a mainly residential area east of downtown Gardner. It is an L-shaped three story masonry structure, built out of red brick with granite trim. The main section, three stories topped by a square tower, presents a short five-bay facade to the street, and extends toward the back of the lot. A two-story ell, six bays wide, extends to the right. The tower features rich Romanesque detailing, including round-arch windows set in recesses, and is topped by a steeply pitched slate roof capped by a finial in the shape of a knife.</p><br>
<p>Frank W. Smith was trained as a silversmith by his uncle, William Durgin, and opened his own shop in 1886, making sterling silver flatware. His business grew rapidly, and the present factory was completed in 1892. Smith hired Arthur J. Stone, a Scottish silversmith, as a lead designer and supervisor, and also began producing handcrafted products as well as machine-made ones. Stone left Smith in 1901 to establish his own shop. Silverware produced by the company was sold to Queen Elizabeth II and Princess Grace of Monaco.</p><br>
<p>Ware&ndash;Hardwick Covered Bridge is a historic covered bridge spanning the Ware River on Old Gilbertville Road and Bridge Street in Ware and the village of Gilbertville within Hardwick, Massachusetts. It is one of a small number of surviving 19th-century covered bridges in the state. The bridge was built in 1886, extensively rebuilt in 1986–1987, and was closed in 2002 due to structural issues and a limited carrying capacity. The bridge reopened in October 2010 and no longer has a weight limit according to MassDOT. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Ware-Hardwick Bridge is located in the village of Gilbertville, a 19th-century industrial village on the Ware River in southern Hardwick and northern Ware. It is a single-span lattice truss in a style patented by architect Ithiel Town, with its exterior clad in vertical board siding and topped by a gabled metal roof. The siding does not fully cover the sides, leaving a strip exposed for light, and extends partway inside each portal. The bridge is about 137 ft long and 25 ft wide, carrying a single lane of traffic.</p><br>
<p>The bridge was built in 1886, and is managed by a joint committee of the two towns. It is one of a small number of 19th-century covered bridges that remain in the state. The bridge notably survived a major flooding event in the 1930s, when the textile mills in Gilbertville were destroyed.</p><br>
<p>The state ordered the structure closed in August 2002 after an inspection concluded the bridge could not bear any more weight, due in part to insect infestation.</p><br>
<p>Harvard Shaker Village Historic District is a historic former Shaker community located roughly on Shaker Road, South Shaker Road, and Maple Lane in Harvard, Massachusetts. It was the second oldest Shaker settlement in Massachusetts and the third oldest  and Hancock, Mass ) in the United States.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Harvard&#39;s Shaker community began with dissenters from the local state-funded church, who left the state church and affiliated themselves with Mother Ann Lee, founder of the Shaker denomination, when she visited the community in the early 1780s. With Lee, they purchased "Square House", and in 1791, the community was called into gospel order. The Harvard Shakers "split the community into four “families”, North, East, South and the Church family (where the Ministry lived)--only the latter two remain today." A single North family building, the North family office, remains as well -- although outside the historic district.</p><br>
<p>By the early twentieth century, membership had dwindled to a handful from a peak of 200 in the 1850s, so in 1918, the community closed, and the buildings and remaining land were sold to Boston industrialist and "single tax" advocate Fiske Warren. Shortly thereafter, wealthy Boston heiress, author and antiquarian Clara Endicott Sears purchased the 1794 Shaker office building and moved to the nearby Fruitlands Museum, where it opened in 1922 as the first Shaker Museum in the United States and remains the only Harvard Shaker building open to the public. The remaining Shaker buildings are private residences and much of the surrounding land remains undeveloped through a conservation easement. The historic district was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.</p><br>
<p>Music was an important part of Shaker life at Harvard. In the 1780s, several songs were attributed to their spiritual leaders, "Mother Anns Song" and "Father Jamess Song." One of the best-known early Shaker hymns, "The Humble Heart," came from Harvard, with words by Eunice Wyeth and music by Thomas Hammond.</p><br>

<p>The George Clapp House is a historic house at 44 North Street in Grafton, Massachusetts. Built about 1835, it is the town&#39;s only significant example of high-style Greek Revival architecture, with temple treatment on both the front and one side. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on August 21, 1997.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Clapp House is located in central Grafton, a short way northeast of the town center, at the northeast corner of North Street and Merriam Road. It is a -story wood-frame structure, three bays wide and five deep, with a front-facing gable roof, finished with flushboarding on the west (front) and south sides, and clapboard siding elsewhere. Its high-style Greek Revival treatment consists of four fluted Doric columns supporting an entablature and the fully pedimented gable in front, and six extending in a colonnade on the south side. A pair of sash windows are set in the center of the gable end. The front facade behind the columns has original tall windows on both floors, with the entrance set in the leftmost bay. The building is joined to a 19th-century barn by a series of ells. The interior retains most of its original finish and hardware, including small fireplaces, ceramic doorknobs, and wide pine flooring.</p><br>
<p>The house was built c. 1835 by George Clapp, a locally prominent builder of Greek Revival houses. It is the only high-style building of its type in Grafton. Clapp has been attributed with the construction of at least seven other Greek Revival houses, mainly near his first Grafton home on South Street. Clapp&#39;s family resided in this house until 1845.</p><br>
<p>The Grafton Inn is a historic inn at 25 Grafton Common in Grafton, Massachusetts. The three-story wood-and-brick building was built in 1805 by Samuel Wood, with a design influenced by the work of Charles Bulfinch. The building was significantly enlarged c. 1865–75, doubling its size and adding the Italianate front porch. It is a wood-frame structure, with brick ends, a hip roof, and cupola-like belvedere.</p><br>
<p>The inn was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980, and was included in the Grafton Common Historic District in 1988. It is still in operation as a restaurant, bar, and seven-room inn.</p><br>
<p>The Frederick Fiske Warren and Gretchen Osgood Warren House, known to the family as The Hutch, is a historic house at 42 Bolton Road in Harvard, Massachusetts. Built in 1894, it was the summer home of Frederick Fiske Warren and Gretchen Osgood Warren, who organized a major enclave of Georgist single tax properties in Harvard. The property was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1996.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Warren House is located in a rural-residential part of Harvard south of the town center, on the west side of Bolton Road. The 10 acre of land on which it stands are separated from the road by subdivided portions of the former Warren estate, with only a narrow access drive connecting it to the street. The house is a large three-story frame structure, finished in wooden shingles. It has two substantial sections, one two stories in height and the other three, which are exposed to their full height on the west side of the sloping lot. The main entrance is on the east side, sheltered by a gabled portico. The interior is finished in rich Arts and Crafts finishes, and is organized with large public entertainment spaces on the upper level, with bedrooms and service areas on the lower levels.</p><br>
<p>The house was built in 1894 as a summer home for Fiske Warren and his wife, Gretchen Osgood Warren. The Warrens were scions of Boston Brahmin families who moved in the circles of high Boston society. Fiske Warren was politically and personally eccentric, espousing anti-imperialism, in particular with respect to American involvement in The Philippines. In the 1890s he came to adopt the views of reformer Henry George on the subject of taxation, and sought to establish a community in Harvard that followed Georgist principles of land use, development, and taxation. Known as "Tahanto", the enclave, spanning several thousand acres scattered across parts of Harvard, was substantially supported and organized by Warren, and eventually declined and dissolved after his death in 1938. The parcel containing the house remained in the family into the 1970s, and is presently operated as a horse farm.</p><br>
<p>In 1940, the house was renovated by W.P. Blodgett and A.F. Law Associated Architects of Boston, Massachusetts. During this renovation, the servants quarters, which were once a separate building with an attached upperstory walkway, were moved to the main building. The current two-car garage opposite the main entrance was created out of the foundation of the servants quarters. A photograph of the houses pre-1940 configuration was published by the Harvard Historical Society in "The Harvard Album".</p><br>
<p>The Benjamin Baker Jr. House is a historic house at 1579 Hyannis Road in Barnstable, Massachusetts. Built about 1828, it is a well-preserved example of a Federal period "half Cape". It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Benjamin Baker Jr. House stands in what is now a rural-residential area of central northern Barnstable, on the west side of Hyannis Road just south of its junction with Maushop Avenue. It is a simple single story Federal style cottage, 3 bays wide, with a side gable roof and wood shingle siding. Its front door, in the right-side bay, is flanked by pilasters and topped by a transom window. The chimney rises near the center of the house behind the left bay. A similar three-bay addition is attached at the left rear corner. The interior of the cottage has been modernized.</p><br>
<p>In 1826 and 1827, Benjamin Baker Jr., a caulker, purchased this parcel of land from John Baker, a housewright, on what was then known as "Baker&#39;s Lane" named for Nathaniel Baker, an early grantee of land in the area. This house was probably built soon afterward. Baker died in 1840 with an insolvent estate; this property was eventually sold to Simeon Doane, a mariner.</p><br>
<p>The Capt. Seth Baker Jr. House is a historic house in Barnstable, Massachusetts, USA. Built about 1850, it is a late example of transitional Federal-Greek Revival architecture, and a somewhat modest house built for a ship&#39;s captain. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Captain Seth Baker Jr. House stands in a busy commercial area of the village of Hyannis, on the south side of Main Street between Parkway Place and Bayview Street. It is a -story wood-frame structure, with a side-gable roof, central chimney, and clapboarded exterior. Its front facade is five bays wide, with a central entrance framed by Federal style slender pilasters, tall frieze, and projecting cornice. A modern single-story addition extends to the rear.</p><br>
<p>The house was built about 1850, and its survival in what is now a commercial area is a reminder of the areas early history. It was built by Seth Baker, Jr., a deep-sea ships captain. The houses modest features are a contrast to the more elaborate houses often built by ships captains in the area, indicating that there was a wide range of economic situations in that profession. The house now houses professional offices.</p><br>
<p>The Nathaniel Baker House is a historic house in Barnstable, Massachusetts. The house was probably built about 1721, and is a well-preserved example of an early Georgian hip-roofed house. It is also noted for its association with the locally prominent Baker family. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Nathaniel Baker House stands in a rural residential area of central northern Barnstable, on the east side of Hyannis Road, roughly opposite its junction with Maushop Avenue. It is a two-story wood-frame structure, with a hip roof, central chimney, and wooden shingle exterior. It has unadorned trim, with plain cornerboards, window and door trim. The house follows a rectangular plan, with a two-story hip-roof ell attached to one side of the rear.</p><br>
<p>The house was built about 1721 for Nathaniel Baker IV, possibly by his father Nathaniel Baker III, as a gift at the time of his wedding. Documentary sources support this general timeline, but there is some evidence that part of the house may be older. In 1778, Baker divided the house in two, deeding one half to his two daughters while he occupied the other half. He died in 1791, with an insolvent estate. The house was returned to single-family use in 1926.</p><br>
<p>The Baxter Mill is a historic gristmill on Massachusetts Route 28 in West Yarmouth, Massachusetts. Built about 1710 and restored to working order in 1961, it is the only surviving 18th-century water-powered mill on Cape Cod. It is now a museum property owned by the town and operated by the Yarmouth Historical Commission. The mill was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1981.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Baxter Mill stands west of the village center of West Yarmouth, on a narrow strip of land between Massachusetts Route 28 to the south and Mill Pond to the north, between Baxter Street and Mill Pond Road. The mill is a small wood frame two-story building, about 20 ft square, with a hip roof and shingled exterior. It is set in an area that has partly defined by a low stone retaining wall on the north and east sides, and the stone-lined exit channel from the pond.</p><br>
<p>The mill was built c. 1710 by John and Shubel Baxter. The mill was originally powered by an externally mounted wheel, typical for the period but subject to damage from winter conditions. The mill was renovated in 1860, in which the exterior waterwheel was replaced with an internal turbine. It remained in operation until the turn of the 20th century. The building was restored to working order in 1961 (as discussed by A. Harold Castonguay, one of the restorers, in his book Two men on a mill: The story of the restoration of Baxter&#39;s mill), including creation of a replica of the turbine. The 1860 turbine remains on site as part of the museum display. The mill was given to the town, and is operated by the Yarmouth Historical Commission as a museum on a seasonal basis.</p><br>
<p>The Lemuel B. Chase House is a historic house located in Barnstable, Massachusetts. It is a well-preserved example of Greek Revival architecture.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>

<p>The Brewster Old Kings Highway Historic District is a historic district encompassing much of Massachusetts Route 6A and portions of some adjacent roads in Brewster, Massachusetts, which was known as the Old Kings Highway during colonial times. The center of Brewster grew around the junction of the Old Kings Highway and Harwich Road , with its first church built there in 1700 , and a nearby burying ground established in 1707. The civic and commercial functions of the town were spread along the Old Kings Highway through the 19th and into the early 20th century. This concentration of historic resources extends about 1.5 mi west of the main junction, and about 1.2 mi eastward.</p><br>
<p>Prominent landmarks in the district, in addition to the church, include the Old Town Hall, a richly-detailed Queen Anne structure built in 1881; it is located at the junction of the highway with Chatham Street (Massachusetts Route 137). The 1868 Brewster Ladies Library is a fine example of Stick style, and was the first purpose-built library building on Cape Cod. The current Town Hall was built in 1925, and originally served as a school. Two 19th-century school buildings also survive in the district: the No. 2 Schoolhouse, an Italianate two-room building first used as a high school, overlooks Schoolhouse Pond, while the more modest No. 3 Schoolhouse (1850) has been repurposed as a barn.</p><br>
<p>The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1996.</p><br>
<p>The Thomas Bray Farm is a historic farmstead in Yarmouth, Massachusetts. It includes a house that is one of the oldest houses in Yarmouth, as well as a number of early 20th century outbuildings, located on about 10 acre of land adjoining Mill Pond in central Yarmouth. The house construction date has been estimated to be c. 1720, but it is possibly even older. It is an early example of a "half cape", a single story house with one room behind the other, and a chimney between. In a departure from typical plans, the chimney in this house is closer to the center of the roofline, rather than being in the bay behind the front door, which is in the rightmost of three bays.</p><br>
<p>In addition to the original core of the house, there are two additions off the back which date to the early 20th century. The property also has a number of outbuildings built in the 1920s: a tractor shed, tool shed, and combination well house and root cellar are all located west of the house, and there is a duck blind near Mill Pond. They all appear to have been built from the remains of an old barn that was demolished at the time.</p><br>
<p>The property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.</p><br>
<p>The Capt. Sylvester Baxter House is a historic house in Barnstable, Massachusetts. The -story wood frame Italianate house was built c. 1855 by Captain Sylvester Baxter, a politically prominent local ship&#39;s captain. The house exterior has been stuccoed, and the roof is a cross-gable style with a square cupola on top. The eaves of the roof and cupola are studded with decorative brackets. The windows are topped by stilted segmented arches. The front entrance is sheltered by a hip-roofed porch supported by clusters of round columns.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.</p><br>
<p>The Shubael Baxter House is a historic house in Barnstable, Massachusetts. Built c. 1829 by a ship&#39;s captain, it underwent a major transformation into a Colonial Revival mansion in the early 20th century. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987 for its architectural significance.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Baxter House is set prominently facing northeast at the southwest corner of Main Street and East Bay Road in the Osterville section of Barnstable. It is a large two story wood-frame structure, seven bays wide, with a stepped hip roof, clapboard siding, and corner quoining. Its dominant feature is a monumental entrance portico, which rises to form a rounded and dentillated arch at the roof line. The portico is defined by two-story pilasters, with the entry on the first floor also flanked by single-story pilasters and topped by a round-arch pediment. A large three-part window fills the second story above the entry; other windows on the facade are 12/12 sash.</p><br>
<p>When the house was built c. 1829 by Captain Shubael Baxter, it was a more conventional Federal style structure, five bays wide. Later owners include another ship captain and a surgeon who served in the American Civil War. The Colonial Revival alterations, which included extending the width by two bays and construction of the portico, are attributed to J. S. Twombley, who is recorded as the house&#39;s owner in 1907. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.</p><br>
<p>The David M. Anthony House is a historic house located at 368 North Main Street in Fall River, Massachusetts. Built in 1875 for a local businessman, it is one of the city&#39;s finest examples of Second Empire style. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The David M. Anthony House stands north of downtown Fall River, on the west side of North Main Street between Walnut and Locust Streets. It is a -story brick structure, three bays wide, with a mansard roof, stone corner quoining, and a bracketed cornice. Paired windows are set in rectangular openings, with peaked gable lintels and bracketed sills. The main entrance is sheltered by a porch with clustered columns mounted on square paneled blocks. A polygonal window bay projects from the left side of the house.</p><br>
<p>The house was built in 1875, and is one of the citys finest examples of Second Empire architecture. It was built for David Anthony, a partner in a supply firm, and may have been built by his wifes uncle, who owned a local construction firm. The use of brick in residential construction is unusual for the period in Fall River, indicating a house of some importance. The house originally also featured a cupola and iron cresting on the roof, but these details have been lost, as has a similarly styled carriage house. Between 1916 and 1940 it was occupied by the Knights of Columbus. It was later sold to the Roman Catholic Diocese of Fall River.</p><br>
<p>The Border City Mill No. 2 is a historic cotton textile mill at One Weaver Street in Fall River, Massachusetts. Built in 1873, it is the largest surviving element of the once-sprawling Border City Mill complex. It was designed by Josiah Brown, a prominent local designer of mills, and is one of the city&#39;s few brick mills. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990. It was converted into residences in the 1980s.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Border City Mil No. 2 is located in northwestern Fall River, on the east bank of the Taunton River, from which it is now separated by Massachusetts Route 79. Weaver Street runs just south of the mill. It is a five-story brick building with Italianate features, most prominently in its central tower, which features narrow windows, an open belvedere, and a bellcast roof. One particularly rare surviving feature is a set of six wrought iron fire escapes.</p><br>
<p>The Border City Mill Company was organized in 1872 by a group of investors from Boston. The companys first president was S. Angier Chace and George T. Hathaway was treasurer. The mill was erected in 1873, the choice of brick dictated by the sites relatively remote access from Fall Rivers granite quarries. It was also one of the early mills to be built on the Taunton River, most of the citys previous mills having been sited on the Quequechan River. The mill is an early work of Josiah Brown, considered the city&#39;s first professional architect.</p><br>
<p>The company produced primarily shirting and sheeting fabrics. During the financial crisis of 1879, the company was re-organized with John S. Brayton as president. By 1888, the Border City Manufacturing Company was operating in three mills. The company was still operating in 1940.</p><br>
<p>Mill No. 2 was converted into residential apartments in the 1980s, and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.</p><br>
<p>The Bristol County Superior Court is a historic courthouse at 441 N. Main Street in Fall River, Massachusetts. It is a monumental three story granite structure, with a five-story square tower at one corner. The oldest portion of the building, the main courthouse was designed by New Bedford architect Robert H. Slack, and was completed in 1889. Connected to the courthouse is the deed registry, a similar structure built in 1930 to a design by Fall River architect Edward M. Corbett. The building is Fall River&#39;s finest and most imposing example of Richardsonian Romanesque architecture.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<p>Chace Mills is a historic textile mill complex on Lewiston and Salem Streets in Fall River, Massachusetts. Built in 1872, it is one of the city&#39;s most visible historic mills, with a particularly fine Italianate stair tower. The complex was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Chace Mills is set on the south side of the Quequechan River, on the northeast side of Lewiston Street at its junction with Salem Street. The 5-1/2 story stone building is prominently visible from Interstate 195. It is built out of local granite and measures 377 x. Its most prominent and distinctive feature is the central stair tower, which rises to an open belfry with rounded-arch openings in Palladian arrangement. The tower is topped by a low-pitch hip roof with broad eaves decorated with paired brackets and dentil moulding.</p><br>
<p>The mill was organized in 1872 and built for the manufacture of cotton cloth with a capacity of 43,480 spindles. Augustus Chace served as the company&#39;s first president. In 1895, a two-story granite addition measuring 310 feet by 120 feet was built for weaving. The company also had a large one-story cotton storage building to the south of Mill No. 2, along the shoreline. The complex also includes two small wooden office buildings in front of the main mill. The mill was taken over by Arkwright in 1929. In 1999 a fire destroyed the adjacent weave shed and cotton storage buildings, but the main mill was saved, thanks in large part to a favorable winds.</p><br>
<p>Hargraves Mill No. 1 is an historic textile mill on Quarry Street in Fall River, Massachusetts.</p><br>
<p>The mill was built in 1888 from native Fall River granite. Reuben Hargraves was the company&#39;s first president. The mill was taken over by Parker Mills in 1922.</p><br>
<p>The site was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<p>The mill went through an extensive remodeling and upgrading period in the early 21st century thanks to the work of Jose L. Cardozo.</p><br>
<p>The property was more recently part of the Quaker Fabric Corporation which closed in 2007.</p><br>
<p>The Greany Building is a historic mixed-use commercial and residential building located at 1270&ndash;1288 Pleasant Street in Fall River, Massachusetts.</p><br>

<p>The Lower Highlands Historic District encompasses one of the oldest residential areas of Fall River, Massachusetts. The district is roughly bounded by Cherry, Main, Winter, and Bank Streets, and is located just east of the Downtown Fall River Historic District and directly south of the Highlands Historic District. This area was settled by 1810, has architecture tracing the city&#39;s growth as a major industrial center. The historic district was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The area of Fall Rivers Lower Highlands has a settlement history dating to the areas prehistory, when the banks of the Quequechan River were settled by Wampanoag Native Americans. The citys major thoroughfare were laid out by English colonists in the 18th century. The Lower Highlands area was by the late 18th century the site of grist, saw, and fulling mills, with a small community of residences clustered nearby. The first of the citys large textile mills was built on the Quequechan River in 1813. North Main Street and Bedford Street became commercial areas, and the area to their northeast developed as a residential district. A substantial portion of the area was devastated by fire in 1843, but was soon rebuilt. Little development has taken place since the early 20th century, when the city&#39;s economy began a long decline.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Lower Highlands district consists of about 212 acre, roughly bounded by Cherry, Main, Winter, and Bank Streets. Most of its more than 100 buildings are residential in character, with the oldest dating to 1810. A modest number of houses survive that are Federal in style, and there are a significant number of houses with at least vernacular Greek Revival elements. Much of the construction in the second half of the 19th century was vernacular multiunit housing for workers, sometimes with modest vernacular stylistic elements popular at the time of construction. Prominent non-residential buildings include the 1875 Gothic Revival Church of the Ascension, and the Cataract Engine Company No. 3, built in 1843 after the great fire.</p><br>

The complex consists of a series of attached buildings, most built out of brick. The main mill is five stories in height, with a shallow-pitch gabled roof. Decorative features include granite corner quoining and window sills, and a bracketed cornice. Attached to the north end is a large weave shed, originally two stories in height with a sawtooth roof. Projecting from the sides of the main mill are smaller engine, boiler, and picker houses, and a machine shop. The only detached building is the single-story main office, set directly at the street corner.</p><br>
<p>The mills were organized in 1871, and the first mill was built in 1872 from red brick in the Italianate style. The area where it was built had been opened for industrial development in 1870 by the introduction of steam power for operation of textile equipment. Because it was not near the city&#39;s granite quarries, it was less expensive to build in brick, resulting in the locally unusual choice of building material.</p><br>
<p>A Dorrance Easton served as the company&#39;s first president. The company operated on the premises until 1929, producing undyed print cloth and corset jeans. Today, Mill No. 1 has been remodeled and is occupied by medical offices. In December 2011, the second floor and roof of the weave shed was removed.</p><br>
<p>Stafford Mills is an historic textile mill complex located on County Street in Fall River, Massachusetts, USA. Founded in 1872, it is a well-preserved late-19th century textile complex, typical of the mills built in Fall River during its period of most rapid growth. It is noted in particular for its exceptionally fine Romanesque brick office building. The complex was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Stafford Mills complex is located east of downtown Fall River, on 7 acre at the northeast corner of Quarry and County Streets. It consists of a series of interconnected buildings, most built at different times. The two principal mill buildings are both five stories tall, built of Fall River granite; Mill Number 2 is slightly larger, but Mill Number 1 has a large two-story weave shed attached to its northern end. The buildings are somewhat unusual in not having towers, a common mill feature. Set in the mill yard between these two structures are attached picker and boiler houses, also built of granite. The office building stands at the center of the southern end of the millyard, facing County Street; it is a two-story Romanesque brick building.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Stafford Mills company was incorporated in 1870 with Foster H. Stafford as its first president. The two mills were built in 1872 and 1888, and the office building was added in 1892. The company produced print cloths, and operated until 1929 when it was closed.</p><br>
<p>Today, the complex is occupied by a variety of small businesses and a discount furniture store. The intersection of County Street, Pleasant Street and Quarry Street in front of the mill is known as Stafford Square.</p><br>
<p>Stafford Mills had a major fire on January 13, 2020 displacing many of the tenant companies and damaging the structure.</p><br>
<p>The Taunton Green Historic District encompasses the core area of the historic 19th-century commercial downtown business district of Taunton, Massachusetts. It is centered on the town green, laid out in the 1740s, which now serves at the intersection between USA Route 44, Massachusetts Route 140, and Route 138. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The early commercial center of the city of Taunton was southeast of the present center, at the confluence of the Taunton and Mill Rivers. In the 18th century early industry in the form of sawmills and gristmills developed on the Mill River. The Taunton Green was given to the town in 1743 as a militia training ground, and it is also where an early meetinghouse was built. Originally 88 acre in size, it is now much reduced by the surrounding development. Early commercial buildings were mostly of wood-frame construction, of which a few survive.</p><br>
<p>Taunton Green has historically the gathering place for troops headed to war. Monuments stand on the Green to honor soldiers of all the wars in which local citizens have participated.</p><br>
<p>"Tauntonians" gathered on the Green on October 21, 1774, to raise the Taunton Flag with its distinctive "Liberty and Union" motto. The flag was hoisted on a 112-foot liberty pole in defiance of King George III. The flag flies on the Green to the present day.</p><br>
<p>A fire in 1859 destroyed many buildings east of the green, and inaugurated more significant growth of brick buildings in the following decades.</p><br>
<p>Since 1914 the Green has been the site of the city&#39;s annual holiday light display which attracts visitors from throughout the area, giving Taunton the nickname of "The Christmas City."</p><br>
<p>In July 2004, the historic Templar&#39;s Hall (c. 1850) and Cohannet Block (1870) (commonly referred to as the Seeley Building) located on the corner of Taunton Green and Weir Street were destroyed by an arsonist.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The historic district is centered on the roughly square green, and includes most of the buildings facing the green on the flanking streets. It excludes the Bristol County Courthouse Complex, which is located on the north side of the green. It extends for a short way along Broadway to the north and Main Street to the east.</p><br>
<p>Monuments on the Green honor soldiers of all the wars in which local citizens have participated. Among them is The Hiker, one of fifty copies of a statue by Theo Alice Ruggles Kitson. It commemorates the American soldiers who fought in the Spanish–American War, the Boxer Rebellion and the Philippine–American War. The statue was cast by the Gorham Manufacturing Company in nearby Providence, Rhode Island.</p><br>

<p>The North Easton Historic District is a historic district in Easton, Massachusetts encompassing a cohesive village area developed in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, primarily through the activities of the locally important Ames family. The district was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1972. In 1987, a portion of the district was designated a National Historic Landmark District, known as the H. H. Richardson Historic District of North Easton, which includes several buildings designed for the Ameses by architect H. H. Richardson.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The North Easton Historic District is bounded on the east by Massachusetts Route 138, the south by Main and Lincoln Streets, the west by Main Street, and the north by Elm Street. The largest features of this area are the estates of the Ames family and their former industrial sites, when they were leading manufacturers of shovels and other tools. The district includes rows of worker housing built by the Ameses for their workers, and the former Ames Company factory, located near the railroad tracks that run north-south through the district just east of Main Street.</p><br>
<p>The districts most sophisticated architectural elements are in its public buildings, and in the estates of the Ames family. Early examples include the Gothic Revival architecture of Queset, possibly designed by Andrew Jackson Downing and built about 1854, and Langwater, a Second Empire house built in 1859. Most notable, however are five buildings designed by H. H. Richardson in his signature Richardsonian Romanesque style, which were designed a National Historic Landmark District in 1987. These include the Ames Free Library and Oakes Ames Memorial Hall, sited on a parcel landscaped by Frederick Law Olmsted, the Old Colony Railroad Station, the Ames Gate Lodge, and the F. L. Ames Gardeners Cottage.</p><br>

<p>The North Bedford Historic District is a historic district roughly bounded by Summer, Parker, Pleasant and Kempton Streets in New Bedford, Massachusetts. It encompasses a predominantly residential neighborhood north of downtown New Bedford which was developed primarily in the mid 19th-century. It features a variety of worker housing of the period, as well as a number of higher quality houses built by businessmen. The district was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The historic district is located just north of downtown New Bedford, and is roughly bounded by four significant traffic arteries: Kempton Street to the south, County Street to the west, Parker Street to the north, and Purchase Street (running just next to the city&#39;s downtown highway connector) to the east. The area is about 60 acre in size, and has 400 primarily residential buildings. Most of these are single-family wood frame residences, many of them in vernacular versions of styles popular between about 1820 and 1860. Italianate features predominate, although earlier Greek Revival and later Second Empire and Queen Anne examples are also numerous. A modest number of houses are more elaborate or stylistically formal; these were typically built for wealthier businessman or merchants. There are two major non-residential properties: the St. Lawrence Church, and a state National Guard armory.</p><br>
<p>New Bedford was originally part of Dartmouth, and was separately incorporated in 1787. By the early 19th century it was one of Massachusettss major maritime ports, having surpassed Nantucket as the worlds leading whaling port. The North Bedford area developed residentially as the city center and waterfront area developed to serve this business, growing roughly from south to north. The areas growth continued for a time after the whaling industry declined, as the citys waterfront areas were developed in the later 19th century with textile mills. Areas on either side of the district, once also residential in character, were razed as part of urban redevelopment activities in the 1960s.</p><br>
<p>The New Bedford Gas and Edison Light Complex is a historic district at 180 MacArthur Drive in New Bedford, Massachusetts. It consists of two buildings: a power generation facility that served the New Bedford area for most of the 20th century, and a historic 19th century iron foundry building. Both are on a property once owned by NSTAR, the local electric utility, on the New Bedford waterfront. The foundry building is a utilitarian three story structure built out of granite, which was built in 1856 for the Taber & Grinnell Iron Foundry. The Cannon Power Station, in contrast, is a looming presence on the waterfront, about 390 ft long and more than 80 ft in height. Its initial construction was in 1916, and it was repeatedly enlarged until 1950. It was built by the New Bedford Gas & Electric Light District, and generated power for the city until 1992. In 2002 it was under consideration for use as an aquarium; and at one time a casino but these plans failed. The complex was vacant in 2012.</p><br>
<p>The power generation building was demolished in early 2023, to make way for a launch point for off-shore wind turbines.</p><br>
<p>The complex was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002.</p><br>
<p>The Acushnet Heights Historic District is a predominantly residential historic district in central New Bedford, Massachusetts. It encompasses a densely-built urban area about 20 acre in size, which was developed as a working-class area, beginning in the 1860s, for the many workers in the city&#39;s factories. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989. It abuts the North Bedford Historic District, which is just to the south, and includes the following separately-listed properties: the Union Street Railway Carbarn, the Bradford Smith Building , and the Dawson Building.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The historic district is in south-central New Bedford, and is bounded on the east by Purchase Street. The northern boundary is Linden Street, the western is County Street (except for a section of Robeson Street to its west), and the southern boundary is Pope Street and Clasky Common Park. The park, which is the areas major open space, was laid out in 1822 and enlarged to its present size in 1853. The districts residential architecture is entire of wood-frame construction, and is in a diversity of architectural styles popular between 1840 and the early 20th century. Brick buildings are limited to commercial buildings located on Purchase Street and the area&#39;s former firehouse. There are four 19th-century churches in the district.</p><br>
<p>New Bedford was incorporated out of Dartmouth in 1787, and had by the early 19th century become a prominent maritime port. The area north of the downtown and the port area saw increasing development pressure as the downtown expanded northward, and early development north of Clasky Common took place in this context. In the later 19th century, mill complexes were erected on the shores of the Acushnet River east of Purchase Street, bringing an influx of workers to the city. The Acushnet Heights area then saw more rapid development, as the mills built housing for their workers, and others built additional housing on speculation to meet the growing demand. By 1870, the area had acquired a distinct neighborhood identify as "Acushnet Heights". The major employer for many of the district&#39;s residents were the Wamsutta Mills.</p><br>
<p>The Algonquin Printing Co. is a historic industrial complex at 1 Middle Street, off Bay Street in Fall River, Massachusetts. Developed beginning in 1891, it was the last 19th-century printing operation to be established in the city. The surviving main building was built in 1902, and the company operated on this site until 1941. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The former Algonquin Company plant is located on Fall Rivers west side, between Bay Street and the former Old Colony Railroad line, which runs along the southern bank of the Taunton River. The property was also historically served by a wharf located nearby on the riverbank. The plants main building is a three-story brick structure, 250 ft long, with segmented-arch windows and a low-pitch gabled roof with bracketed cornice. In front of this building, facing directly onto Bay Street, is the former office building, a Classical Revival single-story tan brick building.</p><br>
<p>The Algonquin Printing Company was founded in 1891, and specialized in calico printing. The oldest buildings, no longer extant, date from that time period, and the main mill was built in 1902. Production was 3,600 pieces per week in 1892 and 10,000 in 1911. The company moved its operations to Dighton in 1941.</p><br>
<p>The site was later occupied by Pioneer Finishing Corporation, and later Duro Textiles. On October 26, 2010, a fire, which was later deemed to be arson broke out in the boiler room portion of the mill complex, destroying several buildings. However, the main mill and other buildings we saved. The complex was vacant at the time of the fire.</p><br>
<p>The Elisha Allen House is a historic house located at 108 Homestead Avenue in Rehoboth, Massachusetts.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The oldest portion of this -story, Cape style house was built between 1738 and 1759, and is one of the oldest and least-altered structures in the town. A rear ell was added between 1775 and 1825, and a new kitchen wing was added in about 1830 to the east end. The original house was probably built by Deacon Ezekiel Read or his son, Ezekiel Jr. The house was in the hands of the Allen family from 1759 to 1895.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on June 6, 1983.</p><br>
<p>The Anawan Club Clubhouse and Caretaker&#39;s House are a pair of historic buildings in Rehoboth, Massachusetts, on the grounds of the Anawan Club, a private recreational club.</p><br>
<p>The clubhouse is a log building built in 1898 on the shore of Warren Upper Reservoir as a hunting and fishing lodge. It was built from locally-cut cedar trees, and consists of a single large chamber flanked by fieldstone chimneys, with a small service ell. The caretaker&#39;s house is a much older -story Cape style house, probably built between 1750 and 1780 by a member of the Kelton family. It is a well-preserve local example of this vernacular form.</p><br>
<p>The property was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<p>Anawan Rock is a colonial historic site in Rehoboth, Massachusetts. It is a large dome of conglomerate rock  located off Winthrop Street  in a wooded site reached by a short footpath. The site was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>On August 28, 1676, Captain Benjamin Church and his group of colonial soldiers captured Anawan, the war chief of the Pocasset People. He was an old man at the time, and a chief captain of Metacomet, who had been captured and killed by the colonists two weeks earlier. The capture of Anawan marked the final event in King Philips War. Although Church promised to spare Anawans life upon his capture, he was ultimately executed by colonial officials. Anawan Rock is one of the few physical sites from the war still intact.</p><br>
<p>The David M. Anthony House is a historic house at 98 Bay Point Avenue on Gardner&#39;s Neck in Swansea, Massachusetts. Built in 1895 for a prominent Fall River businessman, it was one of the first summer houses in the area, and is a high quality example of Queen Anne Victorian architecture. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Gardners Neck is a peninsula projecting southward into Mount Hope Bay between the Cole and Lee Rivers on Swanseas south coast. The David M. Anthony House is located on a large parcel at the center of the peninsula&#39;s southern shore, which includes its very southernmost tip. The house is a -story wood-frame structure, with asymmetrical massing typical of the Queen Anne period. It has a hip roof with cross gables, and porch that wraps around the waterfront side to the east. The exterior is finished in a combination of wooden shingles and clapboards.</p><br>
<p>The house was built in 1895, and was one of the first summer houses built on Gardners Neck. It was built as the summer estate of David M. Anthony, a Fall River businessman who founded the Swift River Meat Packing Company. He and other Fall River businessmen were responsible for the transition of Gardners Neck from a mainly agricultural area to a summer resort area. This house remained in the Anthony family until 1942.</p><br>
<p>The original house was replaced in the late 2010s and all that visibly remains of the original structure is the round stone portion of the porch and the garage.</p><br>
<p>Cinnamon Bay Plantation is an approximately 300 acre property situated on the north central coast of Saint John in the United States Virgin Islands adjacent to Cinnamon Bay. The land, part of Virgin Islands National Park, was added to the United States National Register of Historic Places on July 11, 1978. Archaeological excavations of the land document ceremonial activity of the Taínos, as well as historic remains of plantation ruins.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<h3>Early inhabitants</h3><br>
<p>Archaeological evidence shows that the first inhabitants of the Virgin Islands were Ortoiroid people, who began their migration into the Antilles from the Orinoco River basin in South America about 2000 BC. The historic Arawak people migrated to the area over a period of many centuries and engaged in the first agriculture on the land. Archaeological excavations confirm a Classic Taino culture at Cinnamon Bay.</p><br>
<h3>Plantation era</h3><br>
<p>Starting in the 1680s, prior to any formal colonization, the land along the shoreline of the north central coast of Saint John was occupied for decades by settlers of diverse nationalities. The property was used for maritime activities and cotton production. The Danish claimed Saint John on March 25, 1718, and the area along the north central coast from Caneel Bay to Cinnamon Bay was occupied by nine private land owners. The Danish established large sugarcane plantations worked by slaves brought from Africa.</p><br>
<p>Daniel Jansen and his wife Adriana Delicat were the first land owners to acquire a formal Danish deed for property at Cinnamon Bay. Approximate to Jensons purchase in 1718, a coastal parcel of land was purchased by William Gandy in 1722 and was later bought by Peter Durloo in 1728. Durloo was the husband of Daniel Jansens daughter, Elizabeth. Durloos newly acquired coastal land abutted Jensens property to the north. In 1719, Pieter de Buyck purchased property along the north central coast of the island, east of the Gandy-Durloo land. After De Buycks death in 1728, the land became the property of Abraham Beaudewyn. The 1936 tax records show that Jasper Jansen, Daniel and Adriana Jansens eldest son, owned the De Buyck-Beaudewyn land. Despite the short tenure of De Buyck, this locale still carries his name, Peter Bay. These three parcels of land – the Jansen, Gandy-Durloo, and De Buyck-Beaudewyn properties – became the consolidated estate later known as Cinnamon Bay Plantation.</p><br>

<h3>1733 slave insurrection</h3><br>
<p>During the 1733 slave insurrection on St. John, slaves loyal to the Jensen family held off the rebel slaves long enough for the Jansens to escape, but they could not prevent "the propertys dwelling house, storage building, and boiling house from being looted and burned, nor could they prevent the Jansen cane fields from being set ablaze."</p><br>
<h3>20th century history</h3><br>
<p>In 1913, Cinnamon Bay was bought by a Danish company, and the land was used for breeding and raising of cattle.</p><br>
<p>In 1955, Cinnamon Bay was sold to Jackson Hole Preserve, Incorporated and in 1956 donated to Virgin Islands National Park.</p><br>
<h2>Sugar plantation</h2><br>
<p>The 1805 tax rolls show that Cinnamon Bay plantation had 105 acre planted in sugarcane, 48 acre in provision crops, and 147 acre unused or in bush.</p><br>
<h2>Historic district</h2><br>
<p>The Cinnamon Bay Plantation historic district was a collection of former plantation buildings clustered around the North Short Road when it was added to the historic register in 1978. These included a factory building, plantation house, servants quarters, and other buildings commonly associated with a sugar plantation. Two small cemeteries were also present.</p><br>
<p>The remains of the factory cannot be dated precisely, though they are of a type common to the early and mid 1700s. The plantation itself was known to be active prior to the 1733 slave rebellion. Middens in the area provide evidence of pre-Columbian occupation over an extensive period.</p><br>
<h2>Virgin Islands National Park</h2><br>
<p>The land was donated to the United States National Park Service in 1956 by Laurance Rockefeller. Virgin Islands National Park was then established here.</p><br>
<p>Atkinson Hall is a historic building located at 108 West Main Street in Geneseo, Illinois. The Geneseo Collegiate Institute, a Presbyterian college preparatory school that opened in 1884, built the building in 1892 for its music department. Architect J.E. Hosford designed the building in the Romanesque Revival style. The front of the red brick building faces north and has a pyramidal tower at its corners, with the northeast tower roughly 10 ft taller than the northwest one. The main entrance and many of the building&#39;s windows are arched, a key feature of Romanesque architecture. The building served the college until it closed in 1922; four years later, it became the American Legion Hall, Shearer Post #350.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on November 28, 2003.</p><br>
<p>The Henry H. Huson House and Water Tower are two historic structures located in Plymouth, Wisconsin. They were both listed on the National Register of Historic Places on November 28, 1980.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>There is a locally landmarked Victorian house operated as a Bed & Breakfast named Gilbert Huson House which appears to be a different house nearby, perhaps adjacent. The history of the Gilbert Huson House mentions: "In 1988, the Gilbert Huson House was designated a Sheboygan County Landmark. The home operated as Yankee Hill Bed and Breakfast in conjunction with the Henry Huson House until we purchased it in 2003. We renamed it after its original owner, Gilbert L. Huson."</p><br>
<h2>Water tower</h2><br>
<p>The water tower was built across the street from the Henry H. Huson residence in 1885. The private water tower was powered by a windmill. It was operated for about 15 years until Plymouth installed their traditional municipal water system.</p><br>
<p>The Lucketts School in Lucketts, Virginia was built in 1913. It is a wood-frame schoolhouse with elements of Colonial Revival and Craftsman style. It was originally known as Lucketts High School and was expanded in 1919 with additional classrooms and in 1929 with a small auditorium. It was one of the first multi-room schools in Loudoun County, and remains one of the best-preserved early 20th century schools in the county. The last high school students graduated from Lucketts in 1938, but the school was used as an elementary school until 1972 when a new Lucketts Elementary School was built on an adjoining site. Education still continues here in the form of certified child care offered to residents of Loudoun County.</p><br>
<p>In an effort to preserve the old school for community use the first Lucketts Fair was held in 1972, a tradition which continued until 2018 as a means of financing the maintenance of the building. It is now operated as the Lucketts Community Center by the Loudoun County Department of Parks and Recreation.</p><br>
<h2>Lucketts Bluegrass</h2><br>
<p>The Lucketts Community Center is the home of the Lucketts Bluegrass concert series. The first concert was held on January 12, 1974, and the series has been running continuously. Concerts are held every other Saturday night from October through April. For 33 years, the series was run by an informal group of volunteers, in partnership with the Lucketts Community Center Advisory Board and the community center staff. In 2007, the Lucketts Bluegrass Foundation was formed to administer the bluegrass program in partnership with the community center. Over the years, many well known bluegrass acts have performed in the series, including the Johnson Mountain Boys, whose 1989 album "At The Old Schoolhouse" was recorded there in on February 20, 1988.</p><br>
