<p>The John F. Singer House is a house in Wilkinsburg, Pennsylvania, United States, an east-side suburb of Pittsburgh. It was built for John F. Singer, who was made wealthy during the American Civil War by supplying the Union Army with iron and steel.</p><br>
<p>Described as "one of the most elaborate mansions built" in the nineteenth century, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Located in Wilkinsburg, which is an east-side suburb of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, the John F. Singer House is a Gothic Revival-style house that was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.</p><br>
<p>Built for John F. Singer, who was made wealthy during the American Civil War by supplying the Union Army with iron and steel, this structure may have been designed by architect Joseph W. Kerr. Begun in 1863 as a summer residence for Singer, this thirty-five-room stone house was initially situated on thirty-five acres of land. Completed in 1869, its construction cost roughly $65,000.</p><br>
<p>Atypical of Kerr&#39;s pattern-book designs, it was a far more ostentatious finished product than anything Kerr had previously done. Among the effects achieved by the plasterers, stonemasons and woodcarvers that Singers had brought in from Austria, Germany and England were "delicate natural motifs in low relief under each bay window" and hand-carved, hardwood vergeboards, according to the Society of Architectural Historians.</p><br>
<p>A cruciform-style design with four gables, multiple, ornate dormers, two crushed sandstone and gesso-dressed, mahogany porches, and front steps carved from Mexican slate, the design also incorporated an Italianate-tiled foyer. The architectural plans show that it was a spacious home which had a living room, breakfast room, dining room, kitchen, library, and guest room on the first floor, and five bedrooms, two bathrooms and a sitting room on the second floor.</p><br>
<p>Each of the eighteen rooms on the structure&#39;s first floor is characterized by its own unique marble mantel and is accented by mahogany doors and window frames.</p><br>
<p>Singer then had his estate landscaped with gardens, an orchard and a vineyard.</p><br>
<p>Singer resided here with his wife and children until his death in 1872. During the resolution of his estate, his widow was awarded one-third of the property while his children were awarded the remaining two-thirds. Sometime after that, his widow and children moved out of the residence, but chose to leave clothing, jewelry, books, furniture, and other household items there, a significant number of which were stolen during a break-in by thieves at the home in 1875.</p><br>
<p>Following the death of Singers widow, Mary (Snyder) Singer, in 1893, her one-third share of the property was awarded to Singers children by way of a trust fund managed by the Safe Deposit & Trust Company.</p><br>
<p>Sometime after that, Singer&#39;s home was converted, first, into a boarding house for Westinghouse executives and, later, into individual apartments.</p><br>
<p>Renovations on the historic building were undertaken by John Bos and Sally Lindsay-Bos during the 1960s and 1970s, and, later, by Steven and Michele Saling.</p><br>
<p>The Exchange Hotel in Gordonsville, Virginia, was built in 1860 for Richard F. Omohundro next to an important railroad junction, when the Exchange Hotel offered a welcome stopping place for weary passengers on the Virginia Central Railroad.</p><br>
<h2>Civil War</h2><br>
<p>In March 1862, because of its strategic location, the Exchange Hotel became part of the Gordonsville Receiving Hospital, admitting more than 23,000 sick and wounded in less than a year. The wounded and dying from nearby battlefields such as Cedar Mountain, Chancellorsville, Trevilian Station, Mine Run, Brandy Station, and the Wilderness were brought by the trainloads. Although this was primarily a Confederate facility, the hospital treated the wounded from both sides. Twenty-six Union soldiers died here. By war&#39;s end more than 70,000 men had been treated at the Gordonsville Receiving Hospital and just over 700 would be buried on its surrounding grounds. The scene of untold agony and death, the building survived the conflict.</p><br>
<h2>After the war</h2><br>
<p>In the reconstruction period, this hospital served the newly freed slaves as a Freedman&#39;s Bureau Hospital. As the United States healed and the railroads boomed, this graceful building again became a hotel and enjoyed a fine reputation until the 1940s when it went into decline.</p><br>
<h2>Museum</h2><br>
<p>Historic Gordonsville, Inc. acquired and restored the property in 1971. The museum contains many artifacts from the Civil War era, like medical artifacts, uniforms and firearms. The museum also houses a bookstore. It is located in the Gordonsville Historic District.</p><br>
<p>The Old Livery Stable in Fountain, Colorado is a historic stable which was built in 1893 as part of a small hotel complex. It housed horses of hotel guests. With the rise of automobiles such use ended and the stable decayed. The hotel was damaged in a fire in the 1940s, then partially repaired to serve as a rooming house, then demolished to make way for new buildings; only the stable remains.</p><br>
<p>Its NRHP nomination states that the stable is:a vestige of the life and commerce of an earlier day in Fountain. Although vernacular in style, the architecture is of particular interest. The thick, heavy walls; the use of crude stones; the massiveness of the construction; and the integrated use of the dormer and cupola in a stable all reflect a time and a place where there was relatively little architectural knowledge, a time and a place where the builders drew on their rough experiences to build a utilitarian structure to serve the hotel trade. Today the Old Livery Stable stands as a landmark in downtown Fountain.</p><br>
<p>Teller House is a historic hotel in Central City, Colorado. Built in 1872, the building now serves as a restaurant.</p><br>
<p>The bar at the Teller House is well known for The Face on the Barroom Floor, a painting of a woman&#39;s face on the wooden floor, done in 1936 by local artist Herndon Davis, as a joke after being fired by the Teller House.</p><br>
<p>The building opened in 1991 as a casino, which operated until 2000. A new management company reopened the casino in 2005, but it closed again later that year.</p><br>

Behind the house at #12 is a second house that is some external Greek Revival styling, but has a five bay center entrance layout more typical of the Federal period; it is known to predate the house in front of it. The duplex at 22-24 Mount Vernon has a mansard roof characteristic of the Second Empire style; its construction date is estimated to be c. 1880.</p><br>
<p>Mount Vernon Street was platted out in 1845, and was located near the railroad line which had been laid across the Charlestown Neck in 1835. The area, which had previously been largely rural, developed as a comparatively suburban area with ready access to Boston, and was one of the earliest parts of what became Somerville to be developed in this way.</p><br>
<p>The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.</p><br>
<p>The Mystic Water Works, also called the Mystic Pumping Station, is a historic water works at Alewife Brook Parkway and Capen Street in Somerville, Massachusetts. Built in 1862–65 by the city of Charlestown , it is a significant example of a mid-19th century waterworks facility. The building has been listed twice on the National Register of Historic Places. The first, in 1989, is part of the city of Somerville&#39;s listings, and was made under the name "Mystic Water Works". The second is part of an umbrella listing covering the entire historic water works system of Greater Boston, and was made in 1990, listed as the "Mystic Pumping Station".</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Mystic Water Works is located on the south side of the Mystic Valley Parkway, just east of its junction with the Alewife Brook Parkway, and just east of the mouth of Alewife Brook where it empties into the Mystic River. It is a large 1-1/2 story building, built out of load-bearing brick in a Romanesque Revival style with a mansard roof. Its original main block is nine bays wide, with a two bay addition made in 1870 to the east, and a five bay addition to the west in 1895, both stylistically similar to the original.</p><br>
<p>The building was built by the city of Charlestown as part of its initiative to dam the Mystic Lakes to provide it with water. Somerville was also allowed to tap into the lines, and the building thus became part of Somervilles first municipal water supply. When Charlestown became part of Boston in 1874 the building was taken over by that citys water authority, later known as the Metropolitan District Commission (MDC). When first built, it housed two steam-powered engines with a combined capability of moving 13 million gallons of water per day. The additions were built to provide space for addition pumps as the system was expanded to include Everett in 1870, and again in 1895. The facility was abandoned by the MDC in 1912, and its machinery scrapped. During World War I it housed offices, and in 1921 it was adapted for use as a machine shop. At the time of its listing on the National Register it was still in this use by the MDC. It was eventually acquired by the city of Somerville.</p><br>
<p>In 2016, the city of Somerville began conversion of the property into affordable senior housing units, with the exterior to be restored and some interior features retained. The renovation was completed in November 2017.</p><br>
<p>The Otis-Wyman House is a historic house at 67 Thurston Street in Somerville, Massachusetts. This -story wood-frame house, built c. 1883, is a well-preserved example of Queen Anne styling. It has projecting gable sections, bays, and porches typical of the style, as well as decorative trim elements such as bargeboard, bracketed eaves, and gabled window hoods. It was originally owned by William R. Otis, a cabinetmaker, and later the residence of Charles B. Wyman, a restaurant owner.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.</p><br>
<p>The Parker–Burnett House is a historic house in Somerville, Massachusetts. The Italianate style -story wood-frame house was built c. 1873–74 by Silas Parker, a builder who sold the completed house to James Burnett, a blacksmith. The house has paired brackets in the eaves and gables, which are matched by brackets along the cornice lines of the two-story projecting bay window. The front porch has more ornate brackets, and is supported by square pillars resting on paneled piers and capped by Ionic tops.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.</p><br>
<p>The Philemon Russell House is a historic house in Somerville, Massachusetts. Philemon Robbins Russell was a farmer who owned 50 acre of apple orchards near Russell Street. This land was converted to house lots for development by Captain Gilman Sargent in 1845 creating Orchard Street, Russell Street and Cottage Place. His house, built 1845, is one of the best-preserved side-hall Greek Revival farmhouses in the city. It was moved to the current location from somewhere else. According to the Somerville Journal, page 6, a fire occurred that badly damaged the upper portion of the house. The cause was a mystery and the estimated damage was $2,000. The Boston Daily Globe reported the first took place on On February 26, 1905.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.</p><br>
<p>The Spring Hill Historic District is a historic district roughly bounded by Summer, Central, Atherton, and Spring Streets in the Spring Hill area of Somerville, Massachusetts. The district encompasses the city&#39;s best-preserved residential subdivision from the mid-19th century, with later infill construction in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.</p><br>
<p>Most development took place in the neighborhood between the 1840s and early 1900s. Spring Hill has a fine selection of Greek Revival houses and Victorians including Italianates, Gothic Revivals and Queen Annes. Large houses were built in the neighborhood as well as smaller workers&#39; houses and attached houses. In the early 1900s triple-deckers filled in the remaining land.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Spring Hill is a glacial drumlin with an elongated summit roughly north of Summer Street, between Lowell and Cedar Streets in central Somerville. Its name derives from a spring that was useful for farmers who originally settled the area in the 17th century. The construction of the Boston and Lowell Railroad in the 1840s, with a station at the base of the hill, spurred residential construction in the area for businessmen working in Charlestown and Boston. The tract of land making up this district was purchased by George Brastow, a native of Wrentham who later became Somerville&#39;s first mayor. Recognizing the potential for development, Brastow hired Alexander Wadsworth to lay out housing lots.</p><br>
<p>The historic district is roughly L-shaped, and is bounded on the north by Summer Street, on the west by Spring Street, on the south by Atherton Street as far as Beech Street, on the east by Central Street (between Summer and Monmouth Streets) and Harvard Street (further south to Atherton). It includes 69 historically significant buildings, most of which were built during the area&#39;s first major period of development, 1845-1870. A second period of construction 1885-1910 resulted in the infill construction of additional buildings, including the 1898 Martin W. Carr School, the only non-residential building in the district.</p><br>
<p>The oldest buildings in the district include seven of the first eight houses built after Brastow&#39;s subdivision; these are all Greek Revival two-family residences, of which 46-48 Atherton Street is the least altered. The Italianate Round House was built at Atherton and Beech Streets in 1856, and remains a local curiosity. Its builder, Enoch Robinson, also built the fine Italianate house at 47 Spring Street, which is one of the finest examples of that style in the city.</p><br>
<p>Most of the buildings in the district are wood frame structures, with one to three housing units. Most were not architect designed; there is only one house, 152 Summer Street, that has been definitely attributed to an architect. In this case it was local architect George Loring, who is known to have designed more than 100 residences in the city, although only a few survive. The c. 1890 Rymes House at 49 Spring Street may also be a Loring design.</p><br>
<p>The Somerville Journal Building is a historic commercial building in Somerville, Massachusetts. It was built in 1894 as offices and the printing facility for the Somerville Journal, a weekly publication that continues to exist as part of the "Wicked Local" franchise of GateHouse Media. The building, a somewhat typical example of late 19th-century commercial architecture, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Journal Building is set on the west side of Walnut Street, near its southern end in Union Square. It is a two-story brick structure, with a single storefront on the ground floor that has plate glass windows flanking a recessed entrance. The second story has six round-arch openings originally filled with sash windows, which were updated with double hung windows in 2012. A corbelled cornice is set below the roof, and a brownstone stringcourse separates the basement from the ground floor.</p><br>
<p>The Somerville Journal was founded in 1870, and had this building constructed in 1894 to house a new generation of printing equipment. The building was designed by William H. Gerrish (1865–1915), a Lowell engineer. Its styling is typical of other small commercial buildings built in Union Square, which was then the city&#39;s commercial business center. Administrative and editorial offices were on the first floor. Production and typesetting were on the second floor, and printing presses and equipment were located in the basement. The Somerville Journal vacated the building in approximately the 1950s. Through the 1960s, the building was used as a Kodak facility offering developing, printing, and enlarging. During the 1970s the building was used as a youth recreation center for the city of Somerville. It has been used as artist studios since the 1970s. It now houses a vintage retail store, in addition to studios.</p><br>
<p>The Montrose County Courthouse stands three stories high in downtown Montrose, Colorado and was built in the Classical Revival style from locally quarried sandstone. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1994.</p><br>
<p>Denver architect William Norman Bowman designed the building, which was completed in 1923 and has undergone only minor alterations. The building features a projecting central bay of smooth-faced sandstone, stairs rising from street level, Roman Doric columns supporting a lintel engraved with the county&#39;s name, and three sets of double doors with grillwork transoms at the main entrance. The roof is made of red tile, and walls flanking the entry are made of rough sandstone.</p><br>
<p>A foyer inside the entrance has a vaulted ceiling with wainscotting, Doric columns, and marble pilasters. A bronze tablet lists 34 World War I veterans and a nurse from the county who died in the war or from war-related injuries.</p><br>
<p>The courthouse dominates the block, with only a small, two-story jail built in 1936 in a similar style.</p><br>
<p>The courthouse was built at a cost of $225,000 and was dedicated on Dec. 7, 1923. It replaced a courthouse converted from the town skating rink in 1885. The county&#39;s first courthouse after its creation in 1882 was an adobe building.</p><br>
<p>Berkey and Gay Furniture Company Factory is a manufacturing plant located at 940 Monroe Avenue NW in Grand Rapids, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In 1855, William Berkey arrived in Grand Rapids and founded a mill to manufacture window sashes and other wood building products. He was joined by his brother, Julius, who later began manufacturing what became known as the "Berkey Table." This was highly successful, and soon the Berkey brothers were concentrating on making furniture. The company took on various partners over time, including George W. Gay, who bought an interest in the company in 1866 to form "Berkey Bros and Gay." In 1873, William Berkey withdrew from the company, and Julius Berkey and George W. Gay incorporated to form the Berkey & Gay Furniture Company. In 1874, the new company opened their six-story factory, complete with wholesale and retail showrooms, in Grand Rapids. By 1882, this factory covered three city blocks. The company is known for making Victorian furniture.</p><br>
<p>George W. Gay, although continuing to be involved with Berkey & Gay, also struck out on his own business ventures. One of these was the Oriel Cabinet Company, which he established in 1880. Oriel Cabinet constructed a factory at this site in the 1880s, but the original factory was destroyed by fire in 1890. In 1892, the company constructed a new factory, which continues to occupy the site. Both Oriel Cabinet and Berkey & Gay continued independently until 1911, when the two companies merged. The Oriel factory became Berkey & Gay&#39;s Plant No. 1 following the merger, and an addition was immediately made to the plant in 1912. In 1919 the company further expanded the factory 240 feet north along Monroe Avenue.</p><br>
<p>In 1920, the company merged with the Wallace Furniture Company and the Grand Rapids Upholstery Company to form Consolidated Furniture Companies, but continued to use the trademark "Berkey & Gay" because of its name recognition. Sales increased in the 1920s and the company aggressively expanded, However, when the Great Depression hit, the company was unable to continue financing their new sites, and was forced to sell to the Chicago-based Simmons Company. Even this was not enough, as Simmons declared bankruptcy in 1931, and the Grand Rapids factories closed their doors. Local stockholders reopened the factory in 1935, and continued production until World War II, when it was converted to wartime needs. After the war, an attempt was made to convert back to furniture production, but the company was again forced to declare bankruptcy in 1948 and closing the factory for good.</p><br>
<p>Since the closing of factory operations, the Berkey & Gay Furniture Company Factory was used for a variety of smaller tenants, ranging from small manufacturers to artists. By 2000, the building underwent rehabilitation to create residential apartments and retail commercial space.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Berkey & Gay Furniture Company Factory is a massive, five-story, flat-roofed, cream brick building. It is basically rectilinear, with two open interior courtyards. The plant consists of three sections. The oldest section, constructed in 1892 by the Oriel Cabinet Company, is a U-shape building which now forms the southernmost part of the factory. The second section, constructed in 1912 after the merger, is an east side addition which enclosed the U-shape of the original building to create what is now the south courtyard. The third section was built in 1921, and is a U-shaped addition on the north side, which created a second courtyard and nearly doubled the area of the building.</p><br>
<p>On the main facade, three groups of three large, two-story round arch openings are located at the street level: one grouping in the center of the facade and one at each end. The arches are formed with rusticated stonework, reminiscent of Richardsonian Romanesque style. Above the arches are paired windows on each of the upper four levels. Between these sections are long rows of single, regularly spaced segmental arch, twelve-over-twelve, double-hung wood windows. Atop the building is a brick parapet cap. The 1892 and 1912 building sections sit on a stone foundation, and the later 1921 addition has a concrete foundation.</p><br>
<p>The James Brown House is a historic building in the Hudson Square neighborhood of Manhattan in New York City. It was built in the late 18th century. Today, it is listed in the National Register of Historic Places and is a New York City designated landmark. It is one of the few existing examples of Federal architecture in New York. Its ground level is the site of The Ear Inn, one of the oldest existing taverns in New York City.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The first record in New York City of the two-and-a-half-story Flemish bond brick house which features a gambrel roof and dormers was in 1817, the year Greenwich Village was formally incorporated into New York City. The building was originally the home of James Brown, an African-American Revolutionary War veteran, who was the proprietor of a tobacco store on the ground floor of the house. At the time of the building&#39;s construction, the house was only several feet from the shoreline of the Hudson River, although subsequent urban development has since filled in land that has increased the distance to the shore.</p><br>
<p>Brown sold the building to two apothecaries in the mid-19th century, Records show that a tavern occupied the shop from at least 1835; it was likely a bar even earlier than that, making it one of the oldest taverns in New York City. who ran a tavern and sold beer and spirits to sailors and longshoremen. The tavern had a brewery that was later turned into a restaurant. Cloke was reported to be a successful businessman and was well regarded in the community.</p><br>
<p>Cloke sold the business in 1919 in anticipation of the Eighteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, which prohibited the sale of alcohol. During Prohibition, the restaurant became a speakeasy, while the upstairs floors were variously a boarding house, a headquarters for smugglers, and a brothel.</p><br>
<p>After Prohibition, the bar re-opened, but now existed as a business without a name. It was simply called "The Green Door", and catered to a clientele of waterfront workers, almost all of whom were hard-drinking regulars. The area declined sharply during the mid-20th century, as urban decay turned the once-bustling area into a nearly abandoned district.</p><br>
<p>In 1969, the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission (LPC) designated the building as a landmark.</p><br>
<p>In the mid-1970s, a group of artists including Sari Dienes and Rip Hayman purchased the lease, and in 1977, they re-opened the bar. To avoid having to request LPC approval for a new sign, the new proprietor Rip Hayman painted out part of the letter B in the "Bar" sign, turning it into the word "Ear", after The Ear, a music magazine they published upstairs. The Ear Inn became well known among the literary community.</p><br>
<h2>Today</h2><br>
<p>Today, the James Brown House remains largely unchanged from its past appearance, even as urban renewal has transformed the area around it. Indeed, as part of the permitting process, real-estate developers have paid for thousands of dollars in repairs and improvements to the building, including a backyard fire escape. The Ear Inn continues to thrive as a bar and restaurant, under the proprietorship of Martin Sheridan; the building is still owned by composer and maritime lecturer Rip Hayman, and features memorabilia from its past.</p><br>
<p>The Old Southeast Town Hall is located on Main Street  in Brewster, New York, United States. Built in 1896, it served as the main office of the Town of Southeast, which surrounds and includes Brewster. In 1964, the towns clerk and supervisor moved to the recently closed First National Bank of Brewsters building down the street .</p><br>
<p>Some town offices are still in the building, which also today houses the Southeast Museum. In 1979, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places in recognition of its early yet mature Colonial Revival architecture.</p><br>
<h2>Building</h2><br>
<p>The former town hall is a three-story, three-bay rectangular structure of brick (now faced with putty-colored stucco) in common bond. The front facade has a distinctive, elaborate main entrance with a two-story portico framed by pilasters which go all the way to the roofline. The entrance itself, now behind modern storm doors, has four paneled wooden doors with a neoclassical surround with engaged columns, full entablature and large fanlight. On either side of the portico are sash windows, similarly trimmed, supported by aprons atop smaller side entrances on the first story.</p><br>
<p>The hip roof is pierced on the front by three dormer windows whose pointed crests reflect the Moorish Revival trend of the earlier 19th century. Four corbeled chimneys rise from the top.</p><br>
<p>Window placement on the other four sides is irregular. The east side still has its original wrought iron fire escape. An additional entrance, to the buildings basement, is found on the south side. On the west side, a small jail wing of similar material, built shortly after the completion of the town hall, is the buildings only addition.</p><br>
<p>On the inside, the ground level is of stripped maple with sheet-iron walls and ceiling supported by two rows of cast iron columns. A large metal vault is located under the main stairs, which lead to the auditorium. That takes up two stories leading up to an exposed wooden truss ceiling. The three dormers provide light to the balcony level behind them.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Brewster and the area around it grew substantially in the years after the Civil War due to the construction of the New York and Harlem Railroad in 1848. The New York Central Railroad acquired the line in 1864. including within Brewster. In response to this, a Second Empire-style town hall was built on the site in 1869. It burned down on February 23, 1880, when a fire swept the entire south side of Main Street. A replacement was built in 1882,</p><br>
<p>Mindful of these two disasters, the current building was designed by the New York City firm of Child & DeGroll to be as fireproof as possible, using less combustible materials like iron and brick. It opened in 1896. Four years later, in 1900, the jail wing was added to the west. That has been the only significant addition or alteration to the building.</p><br>
<p>The town government remained there until, in 1964, more space became necessary. The town clerk and town supervisor&#39;s office were moved to the recently closed First National Bank of Brewster building down the street, near the train station. The Southeast Museum had been established a year earlier, and moved into the vacated space. The Southeast Museum has been a steward of the Old Town Hall for 47 years.</p><br>
<p>In 1977, prior to the building being listed on the Register, extensive renovations were done to bring it back to its original appearance, jointly sponsored by the village of Brewster and the Southeast Museum. Supervising architect Richard Brennan of New Canaan, Connecticut, relied on the original drawings to guide the restoration. The auditorium&#39;s stage was extended 10 feet (3 m) to accommodate the needs of contemporary theatrical productions, and the basement was remodeled to serve as offices for some minor town offices and community organizations, and town court. No other changes were made at that time.</p><br>
<p>The towns master plan update in 2002 recommended that it take measures to bring the building up to code and otherwise improve it. The town court, especially, was overcrowded. This led to the construction of the current town hall in the mid-2000s and the towns final retreat from its old town hall.</p><br>
<p>The Grass Valley Public Library  is a Carnegie library and on the National Register of Historic Places. Located in Grass Valley, California and a part of the Nevada County Library System, it is open Tuesday through Saturday.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>There were several early attempts to establish a library in the California Gold Rush town of Grass Valley. The first was in 1860, followed by another in 1869, but neither survived. The Emmanuel Episcopal Church was established in Grass Valley in 1858, but it wasn&#39;t until 1901 that the non-denominational Emmanuel Church Library opened to provide library services to "the Atheist and the Buddhist if such there be".</p><br>
<p>A decade later, the city became the library&#39;s governing body. It requested a Carnegie grant in 1914 and received $15,000 the following year. The chosen building site, at 207 Mill Street, near the intersection of Mill and Neal Street, had been the birthplace and early home of philosopher Josiah Royce.</p><br>
<p>In 2005, the library, now a branch of the county library system, was renamed to honor Royce.</p><br>
<h2>Structure</h2><br>
<p>San Francisco architect William Sebastian Mooser was selected over William Weeks to design the new library. The builders were Welch Bros. and Hannemann from Oakland who also built the Gridley Carnegie Library.</p><br>
<p>The building is of Neoclassical architecture (also known as "classical revival" style). Its exterior includes red brick and white pilasters.</p><br>
