<p>Big Bottom Farm is a farm in Allegany County, Maryland, United States, on the National Register of Historic Places. The Greek Revival house was built circa 1845, possibly by John Jacob Smouse, and exhibits a level of historically accurate detailing unusual for the area. The property includes a late 19th-century barn and several frame outbuildings.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Located in the town of Dickens in Allegany County, Maryland, Big Bottom Farms central farmhouse was built in the mid-19th century by John Jacob Smouse, whose family owned land in the county around Evitts Creek.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>Big Bottom farm includes a number of farm buildings dating from the 19th century and early 20th century. The oldest of these is the brick farmhouse itself, built with a number of features influenced by Greek Revival architecture. It has two stories, five bays, and a gable roof, with a two floor extension in the rear with two additional bays. A later extension added on this rear wing added a third bay. The front of the building is decorated with Flemish bond brickwork, with a centerpiece Greek Revival-influenced porch over a first floor door. A door from the second floor opens onto the top of the porch. This porch has fluted Doric columns, a dentiled cornice, and an iron railing surrounding its flat roof. It shades a four-panel door edged by transom and sidelights.</p><br>
<p>There was likely a two-story porch on the rear extension as well when the house was originally built, but it has since been enclosed. The windows are 6/6 sash and have louvered shutters. Each gable end of the building is topped by a brick chimney. Inside, it has a central stair hall with a large room to either side, and is decorated with mid-19th-century Greek Revival woodwork, consisting largely of symmetrical molding, fluted in the main parlor, with mantles of flat pilasters supporting deep shelves. Aside from the farmhouse, the farm includes a late 19th-century barn, a machinery shed, a corn crib, a wash house, and two chicken coops.</p><br>
<h2>Significance</h2><br>
<p>The Farm was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984. The core structure of its farmhouse is typical of farmhouses in western Maryland, but the Greek Revival touches make it unique among such buildings in Allegany County. Its detailing is largely intact.</p><br>
<p>The Old National Pike Milestones marked each mile of the old National Road in Maryland, an eastern coastal state of the United States, from its dominating city of Baltimore to major towns of western Maryland, as Frederick, and between it and Hagerstown, to Hancock, through to Cumberland in the western panhandle of the state in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains. The surviving stones have been included in the National Register of Historic Places, maintained by the National Park Service of the USA Department of the Interior, and may be seen along the route variously designated as USA Route 40, Maryland Route 144, Alternate USA Route 40, and several other roads that trace the path of the original Old National Pike. From Baltimore to Cumberland, the road was surveyed and laid out with construction in several phases over different periods of time by several turnpike companies, chartered by the General Assembly of Maryland beginning in 1808. Earlier in 1806, the United States Congress with the approval of third President Thomas Jefferson, authorized the surveying and further construction of a national road to continue on from Cumberland on the upstream of the Potomac River further to the west across additional mountainous ranges in the Allegheny Mountains to the newly admitted State of Ohio . Later the congressional action was amended to direct the road to the state boundaries on the Ohio River and it eventually landed at Wheeling, West Virginia. In later decades, the road was extended west across Ohio, Indiana and into the Illinois Country, to eventually terminate by the 1840s in Vandalia, the territorial capital of Illinois, just east of the Mississippi River, and northeast of the newly emergent, frontier river port metropolis of St. Louis of the Missouri Territory and the former Louisiana Purchase of 1803 to the west.</p><br>
<p>The Old Pike milestones in Maryland are about 30 inches tall, twelve inches wide and eight inches deep, with rounded tops and the inscription XX miles to B, referring to the distance to Baltimore, the road&#39;s terminus. The composition of the stones varies, with the first 39 milestones of Baltimore gneiss from the area of Ellicott City. Stones from Frederick to Boonsboro are quartzite from the area of the Monocacy River. A unique white limestone with a distinctive inscription was employed from Boonsboro to Hagerstown, while west of Hagerstown the stones are gray limestone.</p><br>
<p>Sixty-nine stones still remained on the Old National Pike at the time the stones were nominated to the National Register.</p><br>
<p>The Airmount Grave Shelter, also known as the Hope Family Grave Shelter is a brick grave shelter, or grave house, located in the Airmount Cemetery near Thomasville, Alabama, United States. It is unusual in that it protects six graves instead of the more common one grave. The brick structure was built in 1853 by John Hope. It is built in a vernacular Greek Revival style with a gabled roof. The interior features a wooden vaulted ceiling. The shelter was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on February 24, 2000, as a part of the Clarke County Multiple Property Submission.</p><br>
<h2>Burials</h2><br>
<p>The shelter contains the graves of the following individuals:</p><br>
<p>Archibald H. Hope (1823–1850)</p><br>
<p>Margaret Hope (1797–1851)</p><br>
<p>Jane A. Hope (1813–1852)</p><br>
<p>John Allison Hope (1855–1856)</p><br>
<p>John Hope (1791–1868)</p><br>
<p>Sarah Jane Powell Hope (1829–1885)</p><br>
<p>The Stockbridge Indian Cemetery is a cemetery north of Stockbridge, Wisconsin. It is located on Moore Road just west of Wisconsin Highway 55. The cemetery was established in 1834 after the Stockbridge Indians moved to the community. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.</p><br>
<p>The Stockbridge initially lived in New York and Massachusetts, but were forced by the federal government to come to Wisconsin. They were largely Christianized farmers and the Indian Commissioners hoped that this acculturation would rub off on the neighboring Indians here. Chief John Metoxin, whose stone is in the cemetery, led them through this movement.</p><br>
<p>But here again white farmers wanted their land, and in the 1840s the government pushed them to dissolve the tribe or sell their land and move west. After debate within the tribe, they decided to stay together. John Quinney (who is also buried in the cemetery) traveled to Washington repeatedly, arguing for the Stockbridge, and finally obtained the right for them to stay in Wisconsin. Many of them moved to Shawano County, and their descendants live in the Stockbridge-Munsee Community there.</p><br>
<p>The cemetery is all that remains of the community at Stockbridge.</p><br>
<h2>Notable interments</h2><br>
<p>The cemetery contains interments of Stockbridge Indians. Notable grave sites include:</p><br>
<p>John Wannuaucon Quinney, Stockbridge diplomat, wrote the Stockbridge nation&#39;s constitution</p><br>
<p>Electa Quinney, John&#39;s sister, was the first public school teacher in Wisconsin</p><br>

<p>The Harry E. Donnell House, also known as The Hill, is a historic 33-room Tudor Revival mansion located on the north shore of Long Island, at 71 Locust Lane, Eatons Neck, Suffolk County, New York. The mansion was designed by New York City architect Harry E. Donnell for his wife, Ruth Robinson Donnell on 200 acre of land given to the couple by Ruth&#39;s father George H. Robinson. The mansion was constructed in June, 1902 and completed in January, 1903 by the Randall and Miller Company of Freeport, New York. When completed, the mansion had dual waterfronts. The east lawn extended from the mansion to Duck Island Harbor, and had sweeping views of Long Island Sound, while the south lawn extended to Northport Bay. About 80 acre northwest of the mansion was fashioned into a golf course.</p><br>
<p>In 1927, the estate was subdivided, and the Eaton Harbors Corporation created to maintain the private roads and beaches for the new owners in the subdivision. During the Great Depression sales of building lots on the old estate moved slowly. In 1964, the mansion and 4 acre were sold by Nicholas Donnell Ward to the Lang family, and in 1977 purchased by the Treuting and McBrien families. In 1987, it was purchased by Robert Gerlach.</p><br>
<p>In 1997, the mansion was sold to the Carr family, who obtained the original architectural plans from Nicholas D. Ward and used them to restore the mansion to its original design and finish.</p><br>
<p>The Harry E. Donnell House was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.</p><br>
<p>The Herman Melville House is a historic home located at Lansingburgh in Troy, Rensselaer County, New York. It was a home of author Herman Melville between 1838 and 1847.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The home was originally built about 1786 and substantially remodeled in the Late Victorian style about 1872. It is a -story, brick and timber frame dwelling with a gable roof. It has a 2-story rear wing.</p><br>
<p>Herman Melville and his family moved to Lansingburgh in 1838 after deaths in the family and financial concerns. Five years later, in 1843, Melvilles brother Allan reflected on the house as "very pleasantly situated on the bank of the Hudson (where I am now writing). Economy was the object of this change of location, and the only one which influenced my mother to forsake the place of her heart, her early companions and old friends." During the familys time here, they were nearly impoverished, and Melville&#39;s mother Maria Gansevoort Melville relied on financial support from family and frequently wrote letters complaining to her brothers and asking for help. In December 1839, for example, she wrote: "It cannot be possible that I am to be left by my two Brothers to struggle with absolute want... If I have nothing to expect from my brothers but tardy, uncertain remitances, extracted only by painful relations of want — the Family must be broken up and its members dispersed."</p><br>
<p>During his time here, Melville joined a local debating society, sent letters to the town newspaper, wrote a few love poems and, in 1839, published a two-part sketch titled "Fragments from a Writing-Desk" in the Democratic Press and Lansingburgh Advertiser. He also took a course in surveying at the Lansingburgh Academy in the unfulfilled hope of pursuing work with the Erie Canal. In the summer of 1839, he also took his first sea voyage: a four-month trip to Liverpool. Upon his return, he taught at schools in Greenbush and Brunswick. The next year, 1840, he and a friend visited family in Galena, Illinois, before returning to New York. It is believed that Melville wrote his first two novels while living in this home.</p><br>
<p>The Melville family&#39;s former home is today preserved and maintained by the Lansingburgh Historical Society. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.</p><br>
<p>The Dutchess Company Superintendent&#39;s House is a home located on Market Street in the western corner of the village of Wappingers Falls, New York, United States. It is a large brick residence that was built as housing for the manager of the Dutchess Company, a large local printing works, shortly after the plant was built in 1848.</p><br>
<p>It is primarily in the Greek Revival architectural style, with some Gothic Revival decorative touches. In 1984 it was added to the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>Building</h2><br>
<p>The house is a three-story, five-bay brick building with a symmetrical front facade. The front entrance and its sidelights are centrally located on a shed-roofed porch built in the mid 20th-century. It replaced an original veranda that wrapped around all but the east side. A portion was left on the north side, along with its Gothic Revival posts, capitals and other trim.</p><br>
<p>On the roofline, a steeply pitched central gable, decorated with Gothic Revival vergeboard, reinforces the entrance. There are two brick chimneys at either end of the roof.</p><br>
<p>The inside floor plan is the standard Greek Revival central-hall style. The entrance&#39;s sidelights and full transom are also hallmarks of that style. There are no outbuildings.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The house was built in 1848, shortly after the Dutchess Company was incorporated. The first superintendent, a Mr. Radclift, was its first occupant.</p><br>
<p>It remained in company ownership until the company failed in the 20th century, at which point it was purchased by the then-superintendent, William Bogle. It has remained a private home ever since.</p><br>
<h2>Aesthetics</h2><br>
<p>The houses design and location reflect some social considerations as well as aesthetic ideals of its time. Its Greek Revival scale and mass reflect the factory superintendents superior position within the communitys industrial hierarchy, as well as its location some distance away from the plant and worker housing in the center of town, echoing the superintendents position distance from his subordinates. It was similar to the company owners&#39; houses (none of which survive intact) in size, but unlike them it was located at the bottom of the hill, closer to the plant and the workers than they were.</p><br>
<p>Its decorative touches, such as the piazza-style original veranda, pointed gable and scroll-sawn vergeboard, suggest an embrace of the Picturesque mode then being popularized by Andrew Jackson Downing of nearby Newburgh. The house&#39;s placement in a wooded area near Wappinger Creek is also reflective of this ideal.</p><br>
<p>The Cannon Building in Troy, New York is located on Broadway between First and State streets. It is the oldest building on Monument Square. It was designed by Alexander Jackson Davis and built in 1835. In 1970 it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It is also a contributing property to the Central Troy Historic District, listed on the Register in 1986.</p><br>
<p>Davis, who collaborated with Ithiel Town on the building, used the then-popular Greek Revival style to produce one of the rare surviving large-scale commercial buildings in that style. After two fires in the years after the Civil War, a mansard roof, usually associated with that era&#39;s Second Empire style, was added to the top of the building to create an unusual combination. It continues to be used as a retail-office building, although a developer is redoing the upper floors as an extended-stay hotel.</p><br>
<h2>Building and history</h2><br>
<p>The Cannon Building is five stories high, 22 bays wide by five deep. It is made of load-bearing brick augmented by wooden floor joists inside. The upper story is a mansard roof with bracketed cornice and pedimented dormers.</p><br>
<p>Originally, it was four stories in height. The mansard roof was added in 1870 during reconstruction in the wake of two fires. The easternmost storefronts are original. In the later 19th century, the building was home to Frears Troy Bazaar, at the time one of the citys premier retailers.</p><br>
<p>In the early 2000s film producer and developer Sandy Horowitz was looking for properties to buy to offset, for tax purposes, the sale of others he had owned in New York City. A broker led him upstate to Troy, where he bought Cannon and several other Monument Square properties. Which he now owes Troy $323,000 in back taxes. He redeveloped the upper three floors into 30 units named Cannon Place for an extended-stay hotel, seeing visiting faculty at nearby Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and Russell Sage College who wanted to live within walking distance of those institutions as a target market. He also added amenities such as a spa and Internet cafe to the ground floor.</p><br>
<p>In September 2009, the ground floor restaurant was closed for back taxes.</p><br>
<p>Draper House is a historic home located at Milford, Sussex County, Delaware. It was built in 1870, and is a two-story, five-bay, center hall, frame dwelling originally built in the Victorian Gothic style. It was remodeled in the early-20th century with elements of Queen Anne and Classical Revival building traditions. It has a hipped roof with dormers, a telescoping turret, a truncated tower, a second floor projecting bay with a Palladian window, and a full three-sided porch with a shadow curve supported by Ionic order columns. From 1948 to 1953, it was owned by the Milford Hospital and used by them as housing for nurses.</p><br>
<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
<p>The Metropolitan Savings Bank Building opened on May 30, 1867, at the northeast corner of Third Avenue and East 7th Street, in Manhattan, New York City. Its original address was 10 Cooper Institute . The building, which was designed by architect Carl Pfeiffer in Second Empire style, is four stories high, 45 ft wide and 75 ft deep, and was considered at the time it opened to be one of the most finely constructed edifices, "from garret to basement." Its facades were composed of white marble, with the upper floor being enclosed by a mansard roof. The building was fireproof, as no combustible materials were used during construction, either internally or externally. The entire cost of the structure was $150,000.</p><br>
<p>The Metropolitan Savings Bank was chartered in New York in 1852. In 1935 the bank moved its headquarters from Cooper Square to 754 Broadway. In 1942, it merged with the Manhattan Savings Institution (founded 1852) and the Citizens Savings Bank to form the Manhattan Savings Bank. In 1990, Edmund Safra&#39;s Republic National Bank bought the Manhattan Savings Bank, and was in turn purchased by HSBC in 1999.</p><br>
<p>The building was designated a New York City Landmark in 1969, and was added to the National Register of Historic Place in 1979.</p><br>
<h2>Interior design</h2><br>
<p>The main hall was 53.5 ft in length, and 36.83 ft wide. Its height was 17.33 ft. Its acoustic properties were excellent.</p><br>
<p>Black walnut was used inside for building desks, chairs, and stairways. The office furniture evoked a simple design and reflected excellent taste The President&#39;s room, located behind the banking house proper, was less spacious, as offices were given the maximum space. Another feature of the interior was its immense safe.</p><br>
<h2>Lessees</h2><br>
<p>The fireproof construction of the Metropolitan Savings Bank enabled the rapid renting of any free space not used by the bank. The basement and cellar beneath it was leased for ten years to the Stuyvesant Safe Deposit Company. The floor just above the bank was leased by the United States Assessor of Internal Revenue. The third floor, unlet when the building first opened, was rented for a decade by the Eastern Star Lodge of Freemasons.</p><br>
<h2>Later uses</h2><br>
<p>In 1937, the building was sold to the First Ukrainian Assembly of God, and it has been used since that time as a church, most recently by the First Ukrainian Evangelical Pentecostal Church.</p><br>
<p>The Belvedere is a Beaux Arts style building in Baltimore, Maryland. Designed by the Boston architectural firm of Parker and Thomas and built in 1902–1903, the Belvedere is a Baltimore City Landmark at the southeast corner of North Charles Street, facing north on East Chase Street in the city&#39;s fashionable Mount Vernon-Belvedere-Mount Royal neighborhood. In 1991 it was converted into condominiums, though areas remain open to the public.</p><br>
<h2>Design</h2><br>
<p>The eleven-story tan brick building rises 188 ft from a rusticated stone base to an elaborately-detailed "French Second Empire" styled crown with a traditional mansard roofline.</p><br>
<h2>Origin</h2><br>
<p>The hotel is named for its site on the former "Belvidere" estate of American Revolutionary War military leader/hero, a later civic and city leader, Colonel John Eager Howard, (1752–1827), of the famous "Maryland Line" regiment of the Continental Army which distinguished itself especially at the Battle of Long Island/Battle of Brooklyn outside New York in August 1776 and the Battle of Cowpens in South Carolina in 1780. Howards lands north and west of old Baltimore Town, known as "Howards Woods" were eventually used to donate plots for several churches and civic sites including the landmark Washington Monument and the four park-like squares surrounding it, when constructed 1815–1827, along with the old Baltimore Cathedral (now the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary), built 1806–1821, by the famed British-American architect, Benjamin Henry Latrobe, (1764–1820), a few blocks southwest on Cathedral Street. Later Howard children and members of the family sub-divided the grand estate beginning in the late 1820s into the 1830s and 1840s for rows of elegant townhouses (and later cultural institutions) extending northward from the harbor-front city, eventually surrounding the old historic mansion situated at the intersection of North Calvert and East Chase Streets until it too was finally razed in the mid 1870s.</p><br>
<h2>Hotel history</h2><br>
<p>The H.B. partners retained the architectural firm of Parker and Thomas of Baltimore and Boston, and the construction firm of W. W. and E. A. Wells of Chicago. Parker and Thomas had also been in the process of designing the new Homewood campus in the northern section of the city along North Charles Street above 30th Street of red brick and white wood-trimmed Georgian architecture/Federal-styled architecture at The Johns Hopkins University when it relocated from its original previous downtown site along North Howard and West Centre, Little Ross and West Monument Streets around the same time and continuing for a few decades later.</p><br>
<p>When it was completed, the Belvedere, according to early accounts was considered "something of a sensation for Baltimore." Over the years, it has figured prominently in Baltimore&#39;s social, political and economic life, especially as it was located in a tiny predominately exclusive residential neighborhood, north of where most of the other downtown hotels were then clustered. In 1912 Woodrow Wilson stayed at the Belvedere Hotel while attending the 1912 Democratic National Convention at the nearby Fifth Regiment Armory.</p><br>
<p>The Hotel Belvedere was known as the premier lodging in Baltimore during the first half of the twentieth century, hosting American Presidents Theodore Roosevelt, John F. Kennedy and Woodrow Wilson, among others, along with such celebrities as Wallis Warfield Simpson (the Duchess of Windsor), (controversial wife, born and raised in Baltimore, of abdicated King Edward VIII of Great Britain in 1936–1937), General of the Army Douglas MacArthur, actor Clark Gable, and many dozens of others.</p><br>
<p>Sheraton Hotels, a nationwide syndicate/chain purchased the hotel in June 1946 and operated it as the "Sheraton-Belvedere Hotel". Sheraton sold the hotel, along with seventeen other aging properties, to Gotham Hotels in 1968 and it regained its original name.</p><br>
<p>As "Belvedere Hotel", the building was designated a Baltimore City Landmark on October 14, 1975.</p><br>
<p>The 2006 death of Rey Rivera was featured on Unsolved Mysteries. On May 24, 2006, the body of Rivera was found inside a conference room of the hotels galleria annex south of the main building. The Baltimore Police Department ruled Riveras death a probable suicide due to the hole created from a jump impact, even though the case had numerous inconsistencies.</p><br>
<h3>Conversion</h3><br>
<p>Former owner Victor Frenkil received numerous city loans before selling the hotel in bankruptcy court for 5.5 million in 1990.</p><br>
<p>The Belvedere was converted to condominiums in 1991, although the building&#39;s historic, distinctive grand interior spaces of the ballrooms, restaurants (such as the "John Eager Howard Room" with its large grand murals of pastoral Baltimore scenery, and the "Owl Bar"), and lounges (including the modernistic night club/bistro, "The 13th Floor" and observation level, along with a basement-level shopping arcade) were cleaned, restored and enhanced, remaining open to the general passing public.</p><br>

<p>The Bain Commercial Building is located at the corner of Church and West Main  streets in Wappingers Falls, New York, United States. It is a late 19th-century brick building that was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.</p><br>
<p>It is the only intact Second Empire-style building from that period in the village. It is also one of the few historic structures in the portion of the village west of Wappinger Creek in the Town of Poughkeepsie that was once known as Channingville before it merged with Wappingers Falls in 1871. It has not been altered significantly since its construction and continues in use as multiple-dwelling residences above and business space at street level.</p><br>
<h2>Building</h2><br>
<p>The Bain building is a two-story five-by-five bay structure with the Second Empire&#39;s signature mansard roof, surfaced in polychrome slate. Its foundation is built into surface that slopes toward the creek, requiring steps to access the building through its front facade, where a central entry to the upper floors is flanked by separate, three-part storefronts themselves consisting of doors flanked by large bay windows.</p><br>
<p>The roofline is decorated with a bracketed and panelled cornice, echoed in smaller, less ornate scale above the storefronts. The five windows on the second story give way to three dormer windows on the roof, pierced by chimneys at the center of the north and south elevations. Cast iron columns support the structure where the facade elements intersect.</p><br>
<p>To better facilitate the building&#39;s conversion into apartments, wooden stairs and sheds have been added to the back. One original shed that remains is considered a contributing outbuilding.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Bain family is believed to have built the building in 1875, shortly after Channingville became part of the village. It was both their residence and their place of business, with the possibility of rental income from the other storefront.</p><br>
<p>In the 20th century, after the village&#39;s industries declined, the upper residences were converted into apartments and the appropriate modifications made to the building by the Bain descendants who still owned the property. That mix of uses continues today, with one of the storefronts home to a coffee shop.</p><br>
<h2>Aesthetics</h2><br>
<p>Detached Second Empire commercial buildings are not common in urban or suburban settings; the Bain buildings development as such testifies to the minimal development of the Channingville area, particularly as it is some distance from the creek and the villages downtown. Its detachment made possible the more sophisticated applications of the style, such as the roofline, skewed upper window placement and polychrome slate roof.</p><br>
<p>Smith Farm is a small plantation or farm house, built by Robert and Elizabeth Smith. It is Atlanta&#39;s oldest surviving farm house. It is a typical kind of plantation house owned by small farmers. The house was located in Dekalb County, Georgia on 800 acres . The last Smith to occupy the property was Tullie, the great-great-granddaughter of Robert. By the 1960s the house was surrounded by highways and development, and was donated to the Atlanta Historical Society . The house was moved in 1969 to its present site on the grounds of the Atlanta History Center.</p><br>
<p>The farm was restored in January 1970. Chaired by Bettijo Hogan Cook (now Trawick), the original Tullie Smith Restoration Committee included Mrs. Ivan Allen Jr., Mr. Edward Daugherty, Mr. Dan Franklin, Mrs. Mary Gregory Jewett, Miss Isabelle Johnston, Mrs. Mills B. Lane, Mr. James Means, Mrs. Thomas E. Martin Jr., Mr. William R. Mitchell Jr., and Mrs. John C. Symmes. It is now operated by Atlanta History Center as a 19th-century historic house museum known as Smith Farm. Other buildings found on the farm property, including the enslaved people&#39;s cabin, dairy, blacksmith shop, smokehouse, corncrib, chicken coop, barn, and outhouse were brought from different parts of Georgia to represent aspects of the original farm.</p><br>
<p>The landscape represents the Smith Farm in its early era, with historic varieties of crops in the fields, the enslaved peoples garden, the kitchen garden, and a swept yard by the house planted with heirloom flowers such as love-lies-bleeding (Amaranthus sp.) and rose campion (Lychnis coronaria). Surrounding the farms outbuildings are naturalistic, native plantings. Heritage-breed sheep, goats, chickens, and turkeys are representative of the types of livestock found on this type of farm. Living history presentations are given during special events.</p><br>
<p>The Edward Inman "Swan" House is a mansion in Atlanta, Georgia. It was designed by Philip T. Shutze and built in 1928 for Edward and Emily Inman. The house is currently part of the Atlanta History Center, and it has been featured in The Hunger Games: Catching Fire and The Hunger Games: Mockingjay, Part 2.</p><br>
<h2>Style</h2><br>
<p>Often described as "eclectic," the Swan House features an amalgamation of several different architectural styles. As a whole, the house adheres to Renaissance revival, but inspiration is drawn from sources across multiple time periods and geographic locations. Italian and English classicism were blended to suit the needs and interests of the wealthy twentieth-century residents.</p><br>
<p>Italian classicism, especially that of the late Renaissance period during the 16th century, is marked by complex and sophisticated design which is not necessarily unified. One important principle is variety of form, which Shutze accomplished by combining such an assortment of styles. The quality of decoration is valued more highly than demonstrating structural integrity and purpose. Walled gardens became a central component of Italian classicism, and they are regarded as just as important as the building itself. Classical architecture often uses columns and pediments, as can be seen in the Swan House.</p><br>
<p>English classicism followed the lead of Italian classicism from the 17th century onwards, set in motion by Inigo Jones. The Renaissance style manifested in England through country houses, rather than religious or civic institutions. These houses often followed the Classical outline of Doric order columns on the first floor, with Corinthian and Ionic orders on the floors above, which is demonstrated in the Swan House.</p><br>
<p>The symmetrical western facade and the garden cascade of the Swan House are distinctly of the Italian Renaissance. The east front and the portico are Anglo-Palladian, an Italian classical style which was popular in English country houses during the 17th century. The house&#39;s interior also reflects Anglo-Palladian style in its wood carvings and wall ornaments. While the rooms convey distinct eighteenth-century style, they are transformed by the twentieth-century taste in the furnishings.</p><br>
<h2>Architect</h2><br>
<p>The house was designed by Philip T. Shutze. Shutze is widely regarded as "Atlanta&#39;s best known architect," and he designed notable civic landmarks as well as private residential homes. He was a classical architect prominent throughout America, and he was particularly known for his skill in detailing and proportions.</p><br>
<p>Shutze studied architecture at the Georgia School of Technology, Columbia University, and the American Academy in Rome, Italy, which provided first-hand experience of the Italian Renaissance style he would employ throughout his career. His architectural career was initiated by his work as a draftsman for the Atlanta architectural firm Hentz, Reid, and Adler. This education in the Beaux-Arts tradition informed his classical designs. He traveled frequently, studying the impact of different climates and environments on architecture. He also paid attention to the use of texture, color, and locational context when designing his buildings.</p><br>
<h2>Design</h2><br>
<p>Stone obelisks and fountains are present outside the house, both of which are reminiscent of Renaissance architecture. There are broken pediments and Roman Doric columns on the portico, which were inspired by Duncombe Park in Yorkshire, England. Sculptures by the entrance representing the seasons of summer and autumn contribute to "the Italian villa feeling."</p><br>
<p>Inside, there is a vestibule, a library, a morning room, a dining room, four bedrooms, a sitting room, a basement, and an apartment in the attic. The interior decoration was the product of collaboration between Shutze and Emily Inman, as Inman wanted to ensure that the house would be able to accommodate her collection of antiques. The details of the interior are in high relief so as to cast shadows throughout the house.</p><br>
<p>The house is perched on top of a hill, and there is a staircase at the back of the house with a dramatic water cascade running down the hill. The water cascade was inspired by the Palazzo Corsini in Rome, which Shutze had studied at the American Academy.</p><br>
<p>The formal gardens outside the house were also designed by Shutze, and they are also inspired by Italian style. The gardens feature terraced lawns, stone walls, and a formal motor court. There is a notable juxtaposition between the grand lawns and the small, private boxwood gardens.</p><br>
<h2>Residency</h2><br>
<p>Swan House was designed specifically as a residence for Edward and Emily Inman, who were the affluent heirs to a cotton fortune. Phillip Schutze himself gave the Swan House its colloquial name, based on the motif of swans present throughout the house&#39;s interior — the swan motif was one of his "favorite things" about the house.</p><br>
<p>Construction of the house began in 1925. The house is located in the Buckhead neighborhood, a residential suburb of Atlanta. The house was completed in March 1928, at which point the Inmans moved in.</p><br>
<p>Edward Inman died three years after moving in, so Emily asked her children and grandchildren to move into the house with her. Emily Inman felt so strongly about preserving the grand staircase inside the house that she refused to let anyone use it, instead making everyone use the servants&#39; staircase in the back of the house. Emily Inman lived there until her death.</p><br>
<h2>Current use</h2><br>
<p>In 1966, the Swan House was purchased by the Atlanta Historical Society, with the goal of both preservation and a new headquarters for the Society. The purchase generated significant interest and participation from the community. After the Swan House proved to be an insufficient space for the historical society&#39;s headquarters, a new building was built on the estate grounds for the express purpose of housing the headquarters, and the Swan House itself was turned into a museum. When the Atlanta Historical Society decided in 1993 to consolidate its properties into one unified Atlanta History Center, the Swan House was included.</p><br>
<p>The house has been restored to its original state, with both the interior and the exterior refurbished to be historically accurate. The property has been open to the public for tours since 1967, providing a glimpse into the society of Atlanta in the 1920s.</p><br>
<p>The Swan House was used as a set location for The Hunger Games: Catching Fire and The Hunger Games: Mockingjay, Part 2, serving as an equivalent to the White House within the alternate world of the films. The mansion was chosen for its classical style and antique details, as the directors wanted a location which "looked like it had been there forever."</p><br>
<p>The Swan House is listed on the National Register for Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>In popular culture</h2><br>
<p>Swan House served as the finish line of the 19th season of The Amazing Race.</p><br>
<p>It was also used to film some scenes in the 2013 film The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, and in its 2015 sequel, The Hunger Games: Mockingjay, Part 2.</p><br>
<p>It appears in the opening sequence of the 1980 movie Little Darlings.</p><br>
<p>It was also to be used for "TCM Remembers 2014" on Turner Classic Movies.</p><br>
<p>Swan House was also featured on “The CW’s” soap opera series “Dynasty”.</p><br>
<p>The exterior and interior of the house was used as Crump Manor in Haunted Mansion (2023 film).</p><br>
<p>The exterior of the house was used as Cinderella&#39;s Castle Descendants: The Rise of Red</p><br>
<p>Station 13 of the Minneapolis Fire Department is a fire station in the Ericsson neighborhood of Minneapolis, Minnesota. The station, at 4201 Cedar Ave. S., was built in 1923 during a period when the city was growing rapidly. Between 1919 and 1922, nearly 5,000 new homes had been built in Minneapolis, and city planners of that era were concerned about fire protection for buildings located near the city limits. That era saw other construction projects such as Roosevelt High School, built in 1922; Standish Elementary School, built in 1920; and Roosevelt Community Library, built in 1925.</p><br>
<p>The city wanted the station to blend into its surrounding residential area, so the building was designed in the American Craftsman bungalow style. It had a low, horizontal roof and a front yard, which distinguished it from other fire stations that typically had two stories and prominent entries. It served as a fire station until 1979, when the Minneapolis Fire Department initiated a remodeling and expansion program. It later held an emergency medical technician unit before being converted to offices. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2003.</p><br>
<p>Station 28 of the Minneapolis Fire Department is a former fire station in the Linden Hills neighborhood of Minneapolis, Minnesota, United States. The station was built in 1914, during a time when the population of Minneapolis was growing rapidly. The Linden Hills neighborhood was evolving from a remote lakeside community to a neighborhood fully integrated into the city. This period of expansion also saw the construction of Lake Harriet Public School in 1898, city sewers in 1905, and Linden Hills Community Library in 1911.</p><br>
<p>The station was the second-to-last station originally built by the city, and it was the first to be designed solely for motorized equipment. The earlier horse-drawn rigs required more space and time, as well as upkeep for the horses. Motorized fire engines were less expensive and more efficient, and they were able to cover more territory with a decreased response time.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1993. The building has since been converted to office space, while Station 28 is now housed in a building at 2810 West 50th Street.</p><br>
<p>The street level of this building has been recently used as a restaurant space, and is currently occupied by the Harriet Brasserie.</p><br>
<p>The Leonard W. Stanley House is a historic house in Waltham, Massachusetts. The -story wood-frame house was built in 1855-56 by Leonard Stanley, a policeman. It is one of the oldest houses on the South Side of Waltham, which the city purchased from Newton in 1849, and is an unusual local example of transitional Federal/Italianate styling. Its basic massing is somewhat typically Federalist, with a five bay facade and side gable roof. However, it has deep eaves and segmented-arch attic windows, typical Italianate features. The main block was extended with ells in the 1870s and 1880s.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.</p><br>
<p>The Garfield Place Historic District is a small residential neighborhood in southern Poughkeepsie, New York, United States. It is a 20 acre area covering all properties on Garfield Place, which runs for two blocks between Franklin and Montgomery streets, as well as some on nearby sections of Montgomery and Barclay. In 1972 it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>Today&#39;s Garfield Place was originally part of a 53 acre area known as the "Little Commons", owned by the van Kleeck family, when Poughkeepsie was incorporated as a village in 1799. In the first decades of the new century, it grew rapidly and a man named Bronson French bought a portion of the Little Commons. In turn he sold it to a partnership of four local businessmen in 1836, who saw it as desirable for upscale homes since it was close to the center of the village and situated on a hill with commanding views of the Hudson River.</p><br>
<p>They surveyed the property and subdivided it into building lots shortly afterward. At auction, the lots sold for an average of $25 per square foot. However, the Panic of 1837 slowed the economy shortly afterwards, and ground was not broken until the early 1850s when Joseph Corlies, one of the partners, built himself the house at 28 Garfield as a demonstration of what sort of home could be built on the new street.</p><br>
<p>Others followed, lured by advertising that cited the quietness of the streets, the view of the river and its proximity to the growing citys downtown. By the 1880s South Liberty Street had been pretty much built out. In 1881, the streets name was changed to Garfield Place in memory of recently assassinated President James A. Garfield. The last lots would be developed in the early 20th century.</p><br>
<p>The houses continued to remain among the citys most desirable addresses, and later on a carriage house originally built for Corlies home was converted into another residence, 30 Garfield.</p><br>
<p>The Loudoun Mansion is an historic, American house that is located in the Germantown neighborhood of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.</p><br>
<p>A contributing property of the Colonial Germantown Historic District, it was damaged by fire in 1993 and is not open to the public.</p><br>
<h2>History and architectural features</h2><br>
<p>An example of Federal-style and Greek-revival architecture, the main structure was built by Thomas Armat in 1801 and expanded in 1810. The Greek portico was built in 1830. The house stands on one of the highest Native American Mounds (the Lenni Lenape )overlooking Philadelphia and the Delaware River from Germantown. During and after the Battle of Germantown many wounded soldiers were carried to the top of the hill where Loudoun now stands.</p><br>
<p>The house was donated to the City of Philadelphia in 1939. The house is a contributing property of the Colonial Germantown Historic District. It was badly damaged by a fire in 1993 and is not open to the public.</p><br>
<h2>In popular culture</h2><br>
<p>It is alluded to significantly throughout the novel Loving Day by the African American novelist Mat Johnson.</p><br>
<p>The Upper Burial Ground is a cemetery in the Germantown section of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It is notable as the last resting place of 58 American soldiers from the Battle of Germantown in the American Revolution. Here also lies many of the founders of Germantown, including William Dewees, sheriff of Germantowns independent government. Also buried here is Zachariah Poulson, who died in 1844 after having published The American Daily Advertiser, Philadelphias principal daily newspaper for many years. Another significant grave is that of Alexander Mack, the founder of the Schwarzenau Brethren . Originally buried in Axes Burial Ground in 1735, his remains were carefully removed in 1894 along with his field stone to the Gods Acre in the rear of the Brethren church, where they now repose beside those of his son, Alexander, and family.</p><br>
<p>One of the earliest stones is Cornelius Tyson who arrived in Germantown in 1684 and died in 1716 at age 63. It is adjacent to the Concord School House.</p><br>
<p>The Upper Burial Ground is a contributing property of the Colonial Germantown Historic District, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>The Vernon-Wister House is a historic house in Germantown, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It was built in 1803 by James Matthews, from whom John Wister purchased it in 1812. His son, John Wister, was a member of Congress and lived in Vernon until his death in 1883.</p><br>
<p>The Vernon-Wister House is a contributing property of the Colonial Germantown Historic District, which is listed in the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>The Geauga County Courthouse is located at 100 Short Court Street in Chardon, Ohio. The cornerstone was laid September 10, 1869 and construction was completed on August 20, 1870. The courthouse was listed on the National Register in 1974 as part of the Chardon Courthouse Square District.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Geauga County was established in 1806, settled initially by migrants primarily from New York and New England, part of the northern tier of culture and politics. It was carved out of Trumbull County. The county seat was first placed at New Market, where a courthouse was built. The records about this first courthouse are inconsistent and little is known about it.</p><br>
<p>The next year, the county seat was reassigned to Chardon.</p><br>
<p>Chardon quickly constructed a courthouse, which was completed in 1808. The one-room, log structure with chimney was completely outfitted with wooden amenities. It had split-log benches, rough wood floors and a stick chimney. This courthouse served the county until 1813, when officials agreed a new and sturdier building was needed.</p><br>
<p>The county arranged a competition for the new courthouse. The third courthouse was designed by Samuel King for $750 and was built of brick. The details are vague, as the records are conflicting. Some of its details are enmeshed in the records of the 1826 courthouse.</p><br>
<p>The 1826 Greek Revival courthouse was built of brick, and rose two stories high on a rectangular foundation. Long windows lined the sides of the building and featured a Doric columned portico. The hipped roof was pierced by a cupola topped by a spire. In 1848, the building was adapted for use also as the new Chardon Library, the first branch of today&#39;s Geauga County Public Library.</p><br>
<p>In July 1868 a massive fire broke out in downtown, destroying the courthouse and almost every other building along Main Street. However, none of its important records were lost. Arson was suspected but never proven.</p><br>
<p>The county soon ran a competition for the design of its fourth courthouse. The design chosen was by Joseph Ireland. The construction contract was awarded to L.J. Randall. Randall died in 1869 and the project was then overseen by the Meadville, Pennsylvania construction firm of Carpenter and Matthews, whom Randall had hired as builders. The brick and stone structure was built at a price of $88,862. The courthouse standing today is basically the same, although renovations have added some minor interior alterations and upgrades.</p><br>
<h2>Exterior</h2><br>
<p>The courthouse features red brick exterior with light sandstone quoins. The building contains a central projection, also framed by quoins. The windows on the first floor are low arched windows on either side of the projection. The second-floor windows are interesting as the windows contain long arched windows with circular windows above with smaller circular tracings. The whole window is framed by a sandstone casing and white wooden trim. The flat roof rests on an entablature with decorative brackets.</p><br>
<p>The tower consists of an octagonal louvered cupola and a dome with four teardrop shaped clock faces and a weathervane topping the central spire. The entrance contains double doors topped by a fanlight. Above the door is a balcony lined with wrought iron railings. A central window is located in the middle of the tower with two long arched windows, each topped with circular windows like the ones above the second floor windows. The entire building, base to weathervane is 112 ft tall.</p><br>
<p>In 1974 the courthouse was listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) as part of the Chardon Courthouse Square District.</p><br>
<h2>Renovations</h2><br>
<p>The courthouse has undergone several revisions since its initial construction. It was wired for electricity in 1898 and central heating was installed in 1902. An elevator to the third floor was added in 1960, and in 1965, the second-floor courtroom underwent major renovations, including the removal of the dome in its ceiling. This created enough room above it for the addition of a second courtroom on the third floor, which housed the county&#39;s probate court.</p><br>
<p>A mechanical clock was added to the courthouse&#39;s bell tower in 1908. This initial clock was replaced by an electric one in 1940, which was damaged by lightning in 1978. Both the clock and tower were renovated in 1995.</p><br>
<p>The B.O. Cutter House is a house in the Marcy-Holmes neighborhood of Minneapolis, Minnesota, United States. It was built in 1856 by master carpenter B.O. Cutter, who was working on other buildings around the University of Minnesota. He built this house on the outskirts of the campus at the time. The house was built in the Carpenter Gothic style with hand-carved molding around the eaves. In 1869, he sold the house to John Gilfillan, who was an educator, regent of the University of Minnesota, banker, attorney, and a USA representative in the 49th United States Congress.</p><br>
<p>The house was remodeled in 1943, at which point it was covered in stucco. The interior was remodeled in 1949 to accommodate the Theta Delta Chi fraternity. It was heavily damaged in a 1992 fire, but was restored. It now houses the local chapter of the Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.</p><br>
<p>The Charles J. Martin House is a house in the Lowry Hill neighborhood of Minneapolis, Minnesota, United States. The 1903 Renaissance Revival mansion and its grounds are a well-preserved example of an early-20th-century urban estate. The property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978 for having local significance in architecture.</p><br>
<p>The house was built for Charles J. Martin. He served for many years as the secretary and treasurer of the Washburn-Crosby Company, a predecessor of General Mills. Martin also promoted civic causes such as city parks, libraries, and art societies.</p><br>
<p>The house was designed by prominent Minneapolis architect William Channing Whitney in the Renaissance Revival style, which was popular for large urban residences at the beginning of the 20th century. The house has been well preserved and well maintained.</p><br>
<p>The Erste Deutsche Evangelische Kirche, also known as First United Church of Christ, is located at 160 Madison Avenue, Elmira, New York. Construction of the church started in 1898, and finished the following year. The church served the large German American population of Elmira. It is significant for its Rhenish Romanesque architecture. The church and its parsonage were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2007.</p><br>
<p>Pigeon Key is a small island containing the historic district of Pigeon Key, Florida. The 5 acre island is home to 8 buildings on the National Register of Historic Places, some of which remain from its earliest incarnation as a work camp for the Florida East Coast Railway. Today these buildings serve a variety of purposes, ranging from housing for educational groups to administrative offices for the non-profit Pigeon Key Foundation. The former Assistant Bridge Tenders House has been converted into a small museum featuring artifacts and images from Pigeon Keys colorful past. It is located off the old Seven Mile Bridge, at approximately mile marker 45, west of Knight&#39;s Key,  and just east of Moser Channel, which is the deepest section of the 7 mi span.</p><br>
<p>The island was originally known as "Cayo Paloma" (literally translated as "Pigeon Key") on many old Spanish charts - said to have been named for large flocks of white-crowned pigeons (Columba leucocephala Linnaeus) which once roosted there. During the building of Henry Flaglers Overseas Railroad Key West Extension between 1908 and 1912, there were at times as many as 400 workers housed on the island. While these workers built many bridges along the route through the lower keys, the Seven Mile Bridge, spanning the gap between Knights Key and Little Duck Key, remains the largest component of what was once referred to as "the 8th Wonder of the World". A number of buildings from the Flagler era remain on the island and are now part of the Pigeon Key Historic District.</p><br>
<p>Much of the 1978 television film Hunters of the Reef was shot on Pigeon Key. Pigeon Key was one of the locations for the "Bal Harbor Institute" in the 1995 series of Flipper. It was seen in three episodes during season one including the pilot episode. It was also the site of the Finish Line of The Amazing Race 18 "Unfinished Business" in 2011.</p><br>
<h2>Pigeon Key Historic District</h2><br>
<p>The Pigeon Key Historic District is a USA historic district (designated as such on March 16, 1990) located on Pigeon Key in Florida. The district is off USA 1 at mile marker 45. It contains 11 historic buildings and 3 structures. The old Seven Mile Bridge (closed to vehicular traffic) crosses over the island and has a pedestrian exit ramp going to the island.</p><br>
<p>The Wichita-Sedgwick County Historical Museum is a non-profit 501 organization dedicated to preserving and presenting the local history of Wichita and Sedgwick County, Kansas, United States. It is located at 204 South Main , and east of the former Wichita Public Library.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The museum was established in 1939 as the Wichita Public Museum. Today the museum resides in the original City Hall building designed by William T. Proudfoot and George W. Bird in 1890. Exhibits are housed on four floors and are open to the public six days a week for a nominal admission fee. The museum is supported in part through city and county funding and through the support of its sizable membership base.</p><br>
<p>The museum has been accredited by the American Alliance of Museums since 1972. It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1971.</p><br>
<p>The Scribner Building  is a commercial structure at 155 Fifth Avenue, near 21st Street, in the Flatiron District of Manhattan in New York City. Designed by Ernest Flagg in the Beaux Arts style, it was completed in 1893 as the corporate headquarters of Charles Scribner&#39;s Sons publishing company.</p><br>
<p>The Fifth Avenue facade contains a base of rusticated limestone blocks on its lowest two stories. On the third through fifth stories, the facade is subdivided into five limestone bays, while at the sixth story is a mansard roof. Among the facades details are vertical piers at the center of the facade. At ground level is a retail space that was originally used as Scribners bookstore. The upper stories originally contained the offices of Charles Scribner&#39;s Sons and were subsequently converted into standard office space.</p><br>
<p>Charles Scribners Sons was founded in 1846 as Baker & Scribner, which occupied several buildings before moving to 155 Fifth Avenue. The company used the Old Scribner Building until 1913, when the firm moved to 597 Fifth Avenue, a structure also designed by Flagg. The family continued to hold the building until 1951, leasing it as office space. The Old Scribner Building was used as the headquarters of the United Synagogue of America from 1973 to 2007. The building was designated a city landmark by the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission (LPC) in 1976 and was added to the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) in 1980. It is a contributing property to the Ladies Mile Historic District, which was designated by the LPC in 1989.</p><br>
<h2>Site</h2><br>
<p>The Old Scribner Building is at 155 Fifth Avenue in the Flatiron District neighborhood of Manhattan in New York City, The trapezoidal land lot covers 4,825 ft2, with a frontage of 59.25 ft on Fifth Avenue and a depth of 87.58 ft. Nearby buildings include the Flatiron Building and 935–939 Broadway to the north, as well as the Sohmer Piano Building to the west.</p><br>
<p>The surrounding stretch of Fifth Avenue was developed with residences in the 1840s, which were demolished to make way for commercial and office uses by the late 19th century. The Scribner Building is one of several late-19th century office structures developed in the neighborhood. Just prior to the Old Scribner Building&#39;s construction, the lots at 153–155 Fifth Avenue may have been occupied by the Glenham Hotel. However, city records show that the hotel could have been on the adjoining lot to the south.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The Old Scribner Building was designed by Ernest Flagg in the Beaux Arts style for the company Charles Scribner&#39;s Sons. The main contractor was Charles T. Wills.</p><br>
<p>Upon the completion of the building, Scribners Magazine said its headquarters had a "dignified and striking facade". According to Scribners Magazine, the building was "the first in America built from ground to top distinctly for the uses of a publishing house".</p><br>
<h3>Facade</h3><br>
<p>The facade is horizontally separated into three sections—the ground-story base, the second through fifth stories, and the sixth-story roof—each subdivided into five vertical bays. Originally, a curved glass marquee projected from the storefront.</p><br>
<p>The windows on the second through fifth stories are the same size as each other. The fifth story is designed to appear like a deep frieze.</p><br>
<p>A cornice with closely spaced console brackets runs above the fifth story, topped by a parapet and a slate mansard roof. At the sixth story, the outermost bays have curved broken pediments containing cartouches, below which are inscriptions with dates in Roman numerals. The inscription above the left bay is MDCCCXLVI (1846), the date when Scribners was founded as Baker & Scribner, while the inscription above the right bay is MDCCCXCIII (1893), the date of the Old Scribner Buildings completion.</p><br>
<h3>Interior</h3><br>
<p>The retail space on the ground story was originally the Scribners bookstore. Upon the buildings completion, the bookstore was described in Scribners Magazine as resembling a "particularly well-cared-for library in some great private house, or in some of the quieter public institutions". The ground-story walls were clad in oak, and full-height bookcases with glass shelves were placed in front of each wall. The stair led to a gallery that surrounded the room on all sides except the west. Also at the rear of the store, but at ground level, was a set of offices. The building retained its retail use after Scribners moved out during 1913.</p><br>
<p>Two stairs led from the gallery to the second floor, one on either side of the stair from ground to gallery. Additional office entrances are in the side bays of the facade. The second floor originally contained Scribners operating departments, such as the financial and manufacturing, wholesale, educational, and book-buyers departments. The third floor was occupied by the departments of Scribners Magazine such as the editorial, artistic, and publishing departments. The fourth floor contained the subscription department, while the fifth floor had storerooms. The sixth story included mail rooms, circular-printing equipment, as well as what Scribners Magazine called "the other miscellany of a great business".</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In 1846, Charles Scribner I and Isaac D. Baker formed publishing company Baker & Scribner, which Scribner renamed the "Charles Scribner Company" after Bakers death in 1857. The company was headquartered at several buildings in Lower Manhattan through the mid-19th century. The name of the company was changed to Charles Scribners Sons in 1878. In subsequent years, the company published works such as Scribners Magazine, Baedeker Guides, the Dictionary of American Biography. In addition, Charles Scribners Sons published books for various authors. The Glenham Hotel opened on September 17, 1869.</p><br>
<h3>Scribner&#39;s usage</h3><br>
<p>In October 1893, Charles Scribners Sons were reported as the buyers of the Glenham Hotel at 153 and 155 Fifth Avenue in the Flatiron District. Charles Scribner II, the head of Charles Scribners Sons during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, hired his brother-in-law Ernest Flagg to design the new building. Over 300,000 books, manuscripts, letters, and accounts were moved within one month; according to The New York Times, "not one was even imperceptibly damaged". The project cost $150,000. That December, Scribner transferred the leasehold to the Union Trust Company.</p><br>
<p>Upon the building&#39;s completion, a New York Times reporter described the bookstore as having a wide collection of items, including rare volumes and documents. The space was described as having the "appearance of a large public library", with a skylight in the rear illuminating the whole store. Additionally, the Scribner Building hosted several events and exhibitions. For instance, in November 1894, the building had a bookbinding exhibition "under the gracefully-shaped architectural marquise of which it is delightful to pass in", as it was described by The New York Times. The following year, the bookstore displayed some Robert Louis Stevenson memorabilia. These events continued through the first decade of the 20th century. In 1908, the store exhibited a series of rare documents, books, manuscripts, and autographs, including several centuries of papal and French royal documents.</p><br>
<p>By the beginning of the 20th century, development was centered on Fifth Avenue north of 34th Street. Scribner&#39;s was among the companies that decided to relocate further north in Manhattan. By January 1911, Ernest Flagg had written in his diary that Charles Scribner II had discussed the possibility of constructing a new quarters along Fifth Avenue.</p><br>
<h3>Other occupancy</h3><br>
<p>Following their relocation, Charles Scribners Sons continued to hold the old building, leasing it in October 1913 to glass importers D. Bloch & Company. D. Bloch moved to the building soon afterward, in what local media described as one of several signs of the surrounding neighborhoods mercantile redevelopment. In 1920, some space was leased to Bardival Brothers, a lace and embroidery merchant.</p><br>
<p>In 1934, the 153 Fifth Avenue Corporation leased the building for twenty-one years. The company was to refurbish the building for $40,000, adding retail on the first story and lofts on the other stories. The renovations were designed by the Scribners architect Louis E. Jallade along with the tenants architect Arthur Weiser. Among the modifications were the installation of new storefront windows. Brown, Wheelock, Harris & Co. were named as the leasing agents for 153 Fifth Avenue&#39;s office space the same year. Some space was taken by Alliance Distributors, which renovated its offices on the third and fourth floors in 1937 to plans by F. P. Platt & Brother. Blond wood barriers were installed at the ground floor, just inside the entrance, sometime in the 1940s or 1950s. The Scribner family continued to own the building until 1951. The following December, the building was transferred from the 153 Fifth Avenue Corporation to Harry C. Kaufman.</p><br>
<p>The storefront was renovated in 1969, upon which the storefronts glass marquee was removed. The Old Scribner Building became the United Synagogues headquarters and was named Rapaport House. The New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission (LPC) designated the Old Scribner Building as a city landmark on September 15, 1976, The LPC further designated the Old Scribner Building as part of the Ladies&#39; Mile Historic District, a city landmark district created in 1989. There were few vestiges of the Scribner company remaining on the facade by the 1990s.</p><br>
<p>The United Synagogue sold the building in 2007 for $26.5 million to Philips International Holding. The new owner sought to market the space toward a fashion tenant. However, the building was resold the following year to the Eretz Group for $38 million. During the 2010s, tenants of the Old Scribner Building included a showroom and office for clothing designer Rachel Zoe, a store for The White Company, and coworking space Knotel.</p><br>
<p>Grace University Lutheran Church is a church in Minneapolis, Minnesota, United States, adjacent to the University of Minnesota East Bank campus. The church was built in 1915–1917 by a Swedish Lutheran congregation to serve neighborhood families and university students. It was designed by Chapman and Magney and built in the Gothic Revival style.</p><br>
<p>The congregation was organized in Minneapolis in 1903 by the Swedish immigrant-dominated Augustana Evangelical Lutheran Church. At the time, Minnesota boasted a large population of Swedish immigrants. In 1905, the state had 126,000 Swedes, of whom 38,000 lived in Minneapolis and Saint Paul. In Minneapolis, there was a concentration of Swedish settlers in the Seven Corners neighborhood, around Washington and Cedar Avenues, on the west bank of the Mississippi River. Grace Church was organized as one of the first English-speaking congregations of the Augustana Synod in Minneapolis. In 1914, the congregation merged with Swedish Evangelical Lutheran Sharon Church of Minneapolis, located on the east bank of the Mississippi.</p><br>
<p>The two congregations, now united under the name Grace Evangelical Lutheran Church, decided to sell their individual properties and build a common church near the University of Minnesota and Minnesota College, a school run by the synod. Minnesota College donated land at the corner of Harvard and Delaware Streets, and the church retained the firm of Chapman and Magney to design their new building. The firm was also responsible for designing the Sumner Community Library in 1915 and the Saxe Movie Theater, later the Forum Cafeteria, in 1914. The design was well-received, and construction of the new church building began in late 1915. The first service was held on December 24, 1916, in the basement of the partially completed building. Construction was finished in late 1917, and the church was dedicated on December 9, 1917. However, the congregation had run short on funds for furnishing the interior, so some temporary lighting fixtures and seating were used until the congregation could afford permanent furnishings.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1997.</p><br>
<p>Church Street Row is a group of nine residential buildings along the south side of Church Street  between Academy and Hamilton streets in Poughkeepsie, New York, United States. They were added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
<p>They were built during the years from 1855 to 1895. The earliest, at the corner of Church and Hamilton, are frame clapboard houses in the Greek Revival style. Later buildings used brick, incorporating elements of a variety of styles — Gothic Revival, Second Empire and Queen Anne — that were popular at the times of construction. The eclectic result is the city&#39;s largest collection of brick houses in one place.</p><br>
<p>The Amrita Club building is located at the southeast corner of Church  and Market streets in Poughkeepsie, New York, United States. It was once home to the club, one of the citys most prestigious gentlemens organizations. In 1982 it was added to the National Register of Historic Places .</p><br>
<p>The club was established in the late 19th century, but the building was not erected until the early 20th. It is one of only two brick Colonial Revival buildings in the city, and a sophisticated application of that style.</p><br>
<h2>Building</h2><br>
<p>The Amrita Club is in a very historic neighborhood. It is across the street from the Market Street Row, a group of houses that includes Poughkeepsie&#39;s oldest frame house, and immediately north of the Hasbrouck House, with the Adriance Memorial Library a few houses down. It is across Church from the armory and across on the opposite corner is the Old Poughkeepsie YMCA. All of these are also listed on the Register.</p><br>
<p>The building itself is a rectangular structure three stories tall, with raised basement, and eight to nine bays wide by three deep. Its double-doored, centrally-located entrance has a marble surround consisting of columns with sculpted capitals and a dentilled entablature. Below that, the doors themselves are topped with a stained glass transom. The whole doorway is further topped with a keystone decorated with fleur-de-lis and ribbons on either side.</p><br>
<p>On either flank of the entrance, the first floor features French windows and iron balconies, except for the smaller windows next to the door, trimmed with marble lintels and sills. A similar pattern is found on the larger windows of the third story. Above them is a dentilled cornice and architrave; two large chimneys rise from the hipped roof. The rear elevation features two porches with Doric columns.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The club was founded in 1873 for local businessmen and professionals, with future neighbor and prominent local lawyer Frank Hasbrouck as one of the charter members. It excluded Catholics, African-Americans and Jews, and soon became synonymous with the citys elite. In 1905, local historian Edmund Platt described as "the first club of any importance". "Much of Poughkeepsies growth was decided at the Amrita Club&#39;s dinner table", writes Carolyn Burke in her biography of Lee Miller, whose father was a member during her childhood.</p><br>
<p>It met either in rented rooms or refurbished older buildings until it decided to build its own clubhouse in 1912. Designed by Alfred E. Barlow of New York, it cost the club $100,000 (equivalent to $ in ).</p><br>
<p>Over the course of the 20th century, the club&#39;s influence waned as the city grew more diverse and its industrial base declined. In the 1980s it eventually disbanded and the building became city property. Unoccupied, it decayed until 1999 when Decision Technologies International (DTI), a software consulting firm based in nearby Wappinger, reached a deal with the city to renovate the building and use it as its headquarters. The city committed $800,000 in urban-redevelopment grants to help the company.</p><br>
<p>In 2002, almost a year and a half after DTI had last withdrawn funds from the account, the city moved to foreclose on the property since it believed DTI was not serious about redeveloping it and it had been approached by others who were. DTI insisted it was serious, and after first threatening to contest any action vigorously, agreed to waive certain defenses in exchange for a 30-day reprieve.</p><br>
<p>The Community Theatre is a historic theatre building at 207 West 2nd Avenue in Pine Bluff, Arkansas. It is a two-story brick building, finished in stucco, with Moderne styling. It was built in 1889, and housed first a furniture store, and then a five and dime, before being converted for theatrical use in the 1920s. Its present Moderne styling dates to renovations made in the wake of a 1951 fire.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004.</p><br>
<p>All Saints Chapel and Morris Family Burial Ground is a historic Episcopal church located at Morris in Otsego County, New York. The church is a small stone Gothic Revival style chapel built from about 1866 to 1868. The rectangular building is three bays wide and four bays deep under a steeply sloping gable roof with slate shingles. It features a projecting central bell-cote tower and a large rose window. The first burial in the Morris Family Burial Ground dates to 1791 and it remains an active family burial ground. Also on the property is a wagon shed dating to the 1860s.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1997.</p><br>
<p>The Logan County Courthouse is a historic Second Empire building located on the southeastern corner of Main Street and Columbus Avenue in downtown Bellefontaine, Ohio, United States. Built in 1870 at a cost of $105,398.08, the courthouse was constructed primarily of locally mined sandstone, and it is covered with a mansard roof. The courthouse is adjacent to Court Avenue, the first concrete street in the United States.</p><br>
<p>On June 4, 1973, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>Court Avenue is a small street in downtown Bellefontaine, Ohio, United States, located adjacent to the Logan County Courthouse. First paved in 1893, it is known for being the first street in the United States to be paved with concrete.</p><br>
<h2>Early history</h2><br>
<p>Court Avenue, like Bellefontaines other streets, was originally a dirt road that could easily become dusty or muddy in bad weather. In 1886, concrete pioneer George Bartholomew moved to Logan County, where he found high-quality raw materials used for concrete production. By 1891, he had hopes of using concrete for street pavement, so he gained the Bellefontaine city councils permission to pave a few square feet of the nearby Main Street as a test patch. Although some feared that concrete pavement would quickly be damaged or destroyed, the pavement endured, and in 1893, the council permitted the pavement of all the streets surrounding the courthouse, including Court Avenue. While Bartholomew provided the materials, the actual process of laying the concrete was led by James Wonders, the county engineer. The council was not initially enthusiastic about the proposal, nevertheless; having found no previous examples of such paving methods, it required Bartholomew to donate the cement and to pay a $5,000 bond to ensure that the pavement would last for five years. These fears also led authorities to have the concrete covered in sawdust in cold weather.</p><br>
<h2>Intermediate history</h2><br>
<p>Although Bartholomew paved all four streets surrounding the courthouse, Main and Opera Streets and Columbus Avenue have since been paved over with asphalt due to damage from a broken water main in the 1950s. Consequently, Court Avenue has become a center of historical interest and preservation efforts as the only remaining example of Bartholomews original pavement. Various anniversaries have seen celebrations and reconstructions, including the placement of a large concrete memorial on the courthouse grounds on the 50th anniversary, rededication on the 70th anniversary, and recognition with a historical marker on the 75th anniversary. Bartholomews concrete was strong enough to see little damage for its first several decades, requiring the expense of only $1,400 for maintenance in its first fifty years, although it required reconstruction in the 1960s. On February 25, 1974, the street was added to the National Register of Historic Places. Court Avenue was designated as a National Historic Civil Engineering Landmark by the American Society of Civil Engineers in 1976.</p><br>
<h2>Recent history</h2><br>
<p>In recent years, Court Avenue has been the center of various historic preservation efforts. The street was the focus of a centenary celebration in 1991: a monument of Bartholomew was placed at the western end of the street, both to honor the pioneer and to close the street to motor vehicles, and the street was turned into a pedestrian mall. However, few people (except for skateboarders) used the street, and its impact on the downtown traffic flow led to its reopening several years later. The monument to Bartholomew remains, but has been moved to ensure that only the eastbound lane is usable. Today, the Logan County Historical Society and others hope to see the street restored to its car-free state, although downtown businesses and many other local residents want it to stay open for traffic.</p><br>
<h2>Composition and structure</h2><br>
<p>The pavement as originally laid was composed of two levels of concrete made in a method similar to that used to pave sidewalks. Aside from Bartholomews cement, made from clay and limestone, the concrete included aggregate of no larger than ½ and 1½ inches (top and bottom layers respectively), with water-cement ratios of 0.45 and 0.60 (top and bottom), laid on a 4 in-deep base. Mixed by hand, the concrete has an air mixture of about 8% and a total strength of about 34.5 megapascals, or slightly over 5,000 psi. The total cost of paving the street was approximately $9,000, aside from the bond. Restorations performed on the pavement since the original construction have proven less resilient; most patches in poor condition are those that have been restored, with Bartholomews remaining segments withstanding damage more satisfactorily.</p><br>
<p>The Hurt Building is an 18-story building located at 50 Hurt Plaza in Atlanta, Georgia with a unique triangular shape. One of the nation&#39;s earliest skyscrapers, the Hurt Building was built between 1913 and 1926, and was the initial home for the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta. It was renovated in 1985. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1977.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<h3>Concept</h3><br>
<p>The eponymous building was conceived and developed by Joel Hurt, a prominent Atlanta businessman and prolific developer. Hurt had already built the citys first skyscraper, the original Equitable Building, nearly two decades before. He was part owner of Atlanta and Edgewood Street Railroad, the citys first electric streetcar, which connected the city center to the Inman Park residential area he developed. He also co-founded the Trust Company of Georgia (an early predecessor of what is now Suntrust) and was its president for nine years starting in 1895. Moreover, Hurt married into the Woodruff family, which would eventually control both the Trust Company of Georgia and The Coca-Cola Company.</p><br>
<p>Hurt made preliminary drawings for several years before choosing well-known New York architect J.E.R. Carpenter to complete the design. Though Carpenter was based in New York by then, he was born and raised outside of Nashville, Tennessee.</p><br>
<p>It was the 17th largest office building in the world at the time of its construction, it is considered a good example of the skyscraper developed by the famed Louis Sullivan and the Chicago School style.</p><br>
<h3>Construction and design</h3><br>
<p>The Hurt Building was constructed during a turbulent economic period between 1913 and 1926 that was marred by four recessions as well as World War I, which delayed the construction of the wings and light court of the building until 1924. Nonetheless, the bulk of the building was completed in 1913, with a courtyard and the entry rotunda pushing the final completion to 1926.</p><br>
<p>With restrained ornamentation, it occupies a middle ground between Beaux Arts classicism and the emerging modernist aesthetic. The 17-floor building is characterized by a unique triangular shape, most closely associated with the Flatiron Building in New York City, which was necessitated by its triangular site.</p><br>
<p>The building is constructed of steel frame and reinforced concrete. The building envelope is uninterrupted marble and glazed brick piers with ornamental terra cotta spandrels terminating in a heavy decorative cornice exemplifying the craftsmanship of the early 1900s. It is composed of straight fronts, a flat roof, level skyline, subordination of ornament, a regular pattern of fenestration, and cornices of moderate projection. The lower four floors were designed to fill the building&#39;s footprint with the exception of the apex of the building, which faces Five Points, and was cut back 30 feet to allow a greater window area and a more majestic view of the building. The upper 13 floors above lower base is arranged in a V-shape, with the two wings extend from the western apex of the property along both Exchange Place and Edgewood Avenue leaving an open light court between the wings opening toward Ivy Street.</p><br>
<p>Another key feature is three-story domed rotunda. The original 1913 chandelier underscores the artistically vibrant ceiling, decorated with brilliant gold leaf panels and dramatic sunbursts, reflected in the circular grand marble staircase leading to the Venetian Room, an event space.</p><br>
<p>The first tenant occupied the Hurt Building in October 1913. Among the first tenants was the newly created Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta, which paid rent of $6,500 for the first year, $8,000 for the second, and $9,000 for the third. until its own building was completed in 1918 at 104 Marietta Street.</p><br>
<p>Six decades later, beginning in 1983, the Hurt Building was completely renovated, inside and out, reopening in 1985.</p><br>
<p>The Hurt Building at 96 years old became the first commercial office building in the state of Georgia (and 6th oldest in the nation) to earn LEED-EBOM Gold Certification as well as the first in Georgia to be awarded the BOMA 360 designation, both in 2009.</p><br>
<h2>In popular culture</h2><br>
<p>The NBC legal drama Matlock, starring Andy Griffith, used exterior shots of the Hurt Building to represent the office of the fictional Ben Matlock. In the 2016 crime thriller Triple 9, the Hurt Building was the site of the bank robbery committed at the start of the film.</p><br>
<p>The Scribner House is located on Roe Avenue in Cornwall, New York, United States. It was built in 1910 as the main house for the summer estate of New York City publishing executive Charles Scribner II, one of Charles Scribner&#39;s Sons.</p><br>
<p>It combines Colonial Revival interiors with a Shingle style exterior, including some hints of the Arts and Crafts Movement. After the Scribners sold the estate, most of the land was sold and this is all that remains. In 1996 it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>Building</h2><br>
<p>The house is located near the front of a 10-acre (4 ha) lot along a residential section of Roe Avenue opposite Woodside Lane, just outside the Cornwall-on-Hudson village line. Large evergreen trees shield most of it from public view and provide shade.</p><br>
<p>It is a two-and-a-half-story frame building with a gambrel roof shingled in wood. It is similarly sided. A large stone central chimney is complemented by a smaller brick one at the northeast corner.</p><br>
<p>Two pavilions project from the main block, separated by a gable-roofed dormer and a pent-roofed dormer on the second story. The south side has a one-and-a-half-story gambrel-roofed wing, and there is a two-story gabled wing on the east side. A one-story hip-roofed porch is located on the north, and the east wing has a one-story addition that extends around its southern and eastern sides.</p><br>
<p>The main entrance, on the west, is a centrally-located recessed wooden double door with a molded wooden surround and sidelights. Atop it are patterned glass transoms. It opens onto a porch with a stone foundation and steps. Its flat roof is supported by two round Doric columns. A wooden balustrade runs along the top of the porch.</p><br>
<p>Inside, the house retains much original finishing. There is oak woodwork, including architraves and wainscoting on the walls and ceilings. The main staircase has an intricate newel at its base trimmed in garlands and a Doric balustrade at the landing. Also in the house are brick fireplace mantels, a wood-burning stove and the original light fixtures.</p><br>
<h2>Aesthetics</h2><br>
<p>The large scale of the house and its siting, with views available of the Hudson River and nearby Highlands, is a distinctive feature of country estate houses such as the one the Scribner estate originally was. Its more detailed landscaping distinguishes it from the country houses of earlier periods in Cornwall.</p><br>
<p>The architecture combines a Shingle-style exterior treatment with a Colonial Revival interior. The former is most visible on the outside not only in the choice of siding but features such as the projecting dormers, strips of windows, and recessed entrance.</p><br>
<p>The exterior also shows the influence of the contemporary "Parks" period of the Arts and Crafts Movement. Houses of the "Parks" period, many of which were built in the Adirondack and Catskill parks elsewhere in New York in the early 20th century. It focused on the relation of people in the house to their surroundings, particularly the natural environment. Features of the Scribner House that reflect that period are the large window areas and interior spaces, meant to integrate outside and inside, and the use of natural motifs such as leaves and flowers in the wood detailing and stained glass in the house.</p><br>
<p>Most of the interior trim reflects the Colonial Revival movement, also current at the time of construction. Its most notable features in the house are the woodwork: the oak staircase, landing, wainscoting and corner fireplaces.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Scribners built the house in 1910, at a time when Cornwall was still the popular summer destination it had become late in the previous century. Originally it was part of a much larger estate in a park-like setting outside the village of Cornwall-on-Hudson, where most other resort housing was. Mead and Taft, a local firm also responsible for other summer houses in Cornwall like Cherry Croft, was the architect.</p><br>
<p>In the 1950s, the original large veranda along the second story was removed, leaving only the current section atop the porch. This is the only significant change that has been made to the house during its entire existence. Scribners&#39; heirs sold the property in the 1960s, and the estate was gradually subdivided until only the current ten acres were left.</p><br>
<p>St. Mark&#39;s Baptist Church, formerly known as Methodist Episcopal Church of Highland Falls, is a historic Baptist church located in the village of Highland Falls, Orange County, New York. It was completed in 1900 and is a modestly scaled, one-story frame building on a limestone ashlar foundation. It features a corner steeple with buttressed corners, open belfry, and windows in the Gothic Revival style.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004.</p><br>
<p>Baltimore Block is a series of eight rowhouses in the SoNo district of Atlanta, Georgia. Rowhouses of the kind that are abundant in Baltimore are an unusual housing type in Atlanta, where duplexes or semidetached housing, such as shotgun houses, were more common forms of high-density housing. Built in 1885 by Baltimore native Jacob J. Rosenthal, the houses were leased on long-term ground lease terms, a common practice in Baltimore. By the 1920s, the houses began to fall out of fashion, and four units were torn down while the others became derelict. A recovery began in the 1930s, and in the 1960s the area became a center of counterculture. Extensive renovation took place during the 1980s, when the units were consolidated and converted to office use.</p><br>
<p>Like many Baltimore houses, the brick three-story rowhouses of Baltimore Block present a unified wall-like front to the street with a continuous cornice line.</p><br>

<p>The Common Street District is a historic district in Mobile, Alabama. It is composed of seventeen residences from 959 to 1002 Dauphin Street and 7 to 19 Common Street, primarily featuring examples of Greek Revival, Italianate, and Queen Anne style architecture. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on February 4, 1982. The district was later absorbed into the much larger Old Dauphin Way Historic District.</p><br>

<p>The Cavallero House is a historic residence in Mobile, Alabama. It was built in 1835 in the Federal style. A cast-iron gallery was added in the mid-19th century. The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on October 7, 1982. In addition to be individually listed in the National Register, the house is also a contributing building to the Lower Dauphin Street Historic District.</p><br>
<p>The Main Street Historic District in New Hamburg, New York, United States is located along that street just west of the train station. Six buildings on a single acre  are an intact remnant of the hamlet as it was developed in the middle of the 19th century, prior to the Hudson River Railroad&#39;s construction, which cut it in half.</p><br>
<p>Its contributing buildings, three houses and three commercial buildings, are made of brick and representative of vernacular applications of the then-popular Greek Revival and Gothic Revival styles. The neighborhood was recognized as a historic district and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1987. It is the smallest in area of the 62 Main Street Historic Districts on the Register.</p><br>
<h2>Buildings</h2><br>
<p>The district includes all the lots along the north side of Main between Railroad and Bridge streets. On the south side, a former church building converted into apartments at 12 Main Street is not included due to those modifications. All buildings save one on the remaining lots between Main and Bridge are considered contributing properties.</p><br>
<p>9A Main Street. A 2-story five-bay frame residence built by John Lawson c. 1845 on a brick and stone foundation. It has been subsequently modified with a hipped-roof porch with Tuscan columns and a spindle-turned balustrade.</p><br>
<p>10 Main Street. A 2-story commercial clapboard commercial/residential structure built c. 1876.</p><br>
<p>11 Main Street. A -story three-bay frame house on raised brick foundation built c. 1850. Low-pitched saltbox roofline is accentuated by eyebrow windows around cornice.</p><br>
<p>12 Main Street. A -story five-bay brick residence on stone foundation, built in 1875 as the New Hamburg post office. Projecting roof has paired brackets and spiked finials at corners.</p><br>
<p>13 Main Street. A -story five-bay brick house on stone foundation built in two sections c. 1855 by Conklin Bishop. Eyebrow windows on south (front) elevation under corniced roof. Decorative porch added later. A more recent garage with gambrel roof is the district&#39;s only non-contributing resource.</p><br>
<p>15 Main Street. Built c. 1855 as the Central House Hotel, it is the largest and most elaborate building in the district, a five-bay -story brick structure with tin gabled roof and two end chimneys. The front facade has a full-length, two-tier verandah with chamfered, bracketed posts and decorative jigsaw cutout on the balustrades. The lower floor was used as a tavern while guests slept above.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>New Hamburg began as a port community on the river, with ships loaded and unloaded along nearby Point Street and then taken to Poughkeepsie and Wappingers Falls via road. By the 1840s, most of the Point Street lots had been taken and newer residents were turning to Main Street, a few blocks inland. The house at 9A Main Street, built by John Lawson, a descendant of the area&#39;s first European settlers, is the earliest known to have been built in the current district.</p><br>
<p>In 1848 construction began on the Hudson River Railroad. An 800 ft tunnel was built through a hillside north of town, and the work being done there triggered the development of Main Street as a commercial area. This continued after the tunnel was completed, since a passenger station and freight facilities were built for transshipment purposes. An 1858 map of the area shows four of the six houses already complete, and by 1876 another map shows all of them.</p><br>
<p>The railroad that had nurtured Main Street eventually caused its decline. In 1928, now part of the New York Central, the line was expanded from one track to two, and in the process Main Street&#39;s grade crossing was eliminated in favor of a new overpass called Bridge Street, one block to the north. Traffic to what little commercial activity remained at the riverfront simply followed the new street straight to it, turning Main into a short side street that remained important to the community only as the location of its general store.</p><br>
<p>After the Second World War, the railroad would itself decline, taking commercial activity along Main and in New Hamburg with it. The station was eventually closed, but later reopened as a commuter rail station by Metro-North Railroad, which eventually succeeded the New York Central (later the Penn Central and then Conrail) as the regional passenger operator on the line. Most of the buildings along Main were converted to primarily residential use.</p><br>
<h2>Aesthetics</h2><br>
<p>The mid-century houses show the influence of the Greek Revival style still popular at the time of their construction. Their form is rectilinear; their interiors follow that style&#39;s central-hall format. The eyebrow windows are a further touch common to such buildings.</p><br>
<p>Later buildings show the rise of the Gothic Revival movement. The Central House&#39;s steeply-pitched front cross-gable is the most notable application, showing the sophistication of the Picturesque mode. It may have influenced the later additions in that style to some of the other buildings, most notably the Lawson House.</p><br>
<p>The Jefferson County Courthouse Annex in Louisville, Kentucky was designed by Kenneth McDonald Sr. and built in 1900. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.</p><br>
<p>It is a four-story steel construction building with a brick veneer, joined to the Greek Revival Jefferson County Courthouse building by a bridge on the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th floors, over a narrow street.</p><br>
<p>It was designed by architect Kenneth McDonald Sr. It was described in its NRHP nomination as "stylistically a handsome complement" to the Jefferson County Courthouse.</p><br>
<p>The Jefferson County Courthouse was previously listed, in 1972.</p><br>
<p>Hangar One, commonly referred to as Hangar No. 1, is an airplane hangar located on the grounds of Los Angeles International Airport  in Los Angeles, California. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.</p><br>
<p>Hangar No. 1 was built in 1929 and was the first structure built on what was then known as Mines Field. At the time, the airport consisted of a dirt landing strip in the middle of bean and barley fields. The building was constructed by the city for $35,000, and leased to the Curtiss Wright Flying Service. The airport opened in 1930 as the Los Angeles Municipal Airport, and was purchased by the city in 1937 and renamed the Los Angeles Airport. During this period the hangar was used by Charles Lindbergh and the German LZ 127 Graf Zeppelin was tied down near its doors during its stop in Los Angeles. In 1933 and 1936, tens of thousands of spectators lined up near Hangar No. 1 to watch the National Air Races. Commercial passenger air service did not begin at the airport until December 5, 1946.</p><br>
<p>The building was declared a Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument No. 44 by the city&#39;s Historical Heritage Board on November 16, 1966. However, the building fell out of use in the 1970s and sat vacant. It was marked for demolition in the early 1980s to make way for airport expansion, however a group with interests in architecture and aviation stepped in and persuaded airport officials to save the building.</p><br>
<p>In 1990, a $2 million renovation brought it up to modern earthquake codes and restored its 1930s appearance. As a condition of renovation, the developer, Texas-based AVIA Development Group, earned permission to develop two new cargo buildings nearby. AVIA also made the application to the National Register of Historic Places, partly in order to gain $400,000 in tax credits.</p><br>
<p>It currently serves as a cargo building for the Aviation Facilities Company.</p><br>
<p>The two-story brick and concrete building was one of five designed in the Spanish Colonial Revival style, and is the only remaining structure. The hangar is noted for its architecture, especially its elaborate towers, tile roofs and arches. The designers&#39; intent was likely to promote the new airport. The building is 17,037 ft&sup2, currently divided into 10,497 ft&sup2; of cargo handling space and 6,540 ft&sup2; of office space. The bay is 99 ft in width by 114 ft in length and is 20 to 24 ft in height. It has two apron-side doors with a 26 x door width and height.</p><br>
<p>The Stone Street Historic District is a one-block section of the west side of that street in the hamlet of New Hamburg, New York, United States. It was recognized as a historic district and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1987 as the largest group of intact houses in the hamlet.</p><br>
<p>An acre in area, it includes four houses built in the middle of the 19th century in vernacular styles ranging from Greek Revival to the only Second Empire house in the hamlet, reflecting architectural tastes of that time. Located atop a small rise with views to the Hudson River from the rear, they were in their time the premier residential area of their small community. The houses opposite them were demolished in a railroad expansion, but the remaining homes have been altered very little.</p><br>
<h2>Buildings</h2><br>
<p>The district includes all four homes on the lots on Stone between Bridge Street on the south and Division Street on the north. The house at 18 Division is also included. All are contributing properties. There are two outbuildings, one of which is also considered contributing.</p><br>
<p>5 Stone Street. A two-story, three-bay brick home on a raised brick-and-stone foundation built circa 1858. Front doorway behind full-length porch has original paneled door with side and transom lights divided by pilasters.</p><br>
<p>7 Stone Street. A Second Empire home of similar composition, size and fenestration built in 1870. It has a mansard roof with slate tile and pedimented dormer windows. Has a small, contributing barn with tin roof in rear.</p><br>
<p>9 Stone Street. One-and-a-half-story frame house on raised basement with L-shaped gabled roof in diamond-patterned slate, built ca. 1870. Three-bay front porch has bracketed cornice.</p><br>
<p>18 Division Street. Five-bay two-story clapboard house originally built in 1845 and heavily renovated in 1870. Bracketed cornice on all elevations; windows have architraves with straight corbeled heads.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Stone Street lots were originally the property of Samuel and Maria Ellis, who bought them all in 1841 and built the original home at 18 Division Street. After Samuel Ellis died in 1857, Maria and her children began selling off the other lots. The recent construction of the nearby Hudson River Railroad had made Stone Street a prime residential property location, atop a low rise a short walk from downtown.</p><br>
<p>Marvin Van Anders, owner of the New Hamburg Hotel on Point Street, built 5 Stone Street for himself later that year. The lot next door went through several owners until Peter and Rachel Leroy bought it and built the house where they would live for the next 20 years. Finally, 9 Stone was sold in 1870 to William Bogardus, baggage master for the railroad. The original house at 18 Division Street was heavily renovated that year as well.</p><br>
<p>Around 1900 the neighborhood changed significantly when the New York Central, which now owned the tracks, decided to convert the tunnel originally built north of the New Hamburg station to an open cut. In order to do this, it acquired the homes on the east side of the street and demolished them, opening up the space in front of the homes on the west. The neighborhood changed again in 1928, when the railroad decided to expand the main line to four tracks and closed off the Main Street grade crossing. It was replaced by the new Bridge Street, which intersected Stone just south of today&#39;s district, making it a little more accessible to the center of the small community.</p><br>
<p>Since then some of the houses have been converted into apartments, as New Hamburgs days as a commercial shipping center have long ended, and the New York Central has given way to Metro-Norths commuter service. Stone Street has remained largely intact.</p><br>
<h2>Aesthetics</h2><br>
<p>5 and 7 Stone Street present an interesting contrast in styles. The Greek Revival forms of the former are extremely conservative for their time, suggesting an almost deliberate choice of a mode that had largely fallen out of favor by then, even in smaller towns. The Second Empire stylings of its neighbor are, by contrast, an early use for such a small town. It is possible that Leroy, a riverboat captain, had greater exposure to contemporary architectural trends through his work and visits to other Hudson Valley communities and reflected that in the way he chose to build his house.</p><br>
<p>A unifying touch to all four houses is the Hudson River Bracketed porches. This too reflects some awareness of architecture outside the immediate vicinity of New Hamburg.</p><br>
<p>I was told that at some time in the past #5 and # 7 had the same roof but a fire at #5 forced them to rebuild the roof in a more conventional style.</p><br>
<p>Boulder City Historic District, is Nevada&#39;s largest listing on the National Register of Historic Places with 514 buildings. Among the buildings, 408 constructions were built during the first 11 years . Between World War II and 1950, 66 buildings were built; the rest 40 were constructed after 1950.</p><br>
<p>Boulder City, Clark county, southeastern Nevada, USA is situated by the Hoover Dam. The only reason for its existence was the requirement of housing the employees hired to build the Hoover Dam on the Colorado River. At the time of construction of the Dam, Boulder City sheltered more than 4,000 employees in 1500 buildings from 1931 to 1935.</p><br>
<h2>Design</h2><br>
<p>The town was designed and built by the USA Bureau of Reclamation and the Six Companies to support the construction of Hoover Dam between 1931 and 1935. The chief planner was Saco Rienk DeBoer. The town center is unified by the consistent use of the Spanish Colonial Revival style of architecture.</p><br>
<h2>History and context</h2><br>
<p>On December 21, 1928, President Calvin Coolidge signed the Boulder Canyon Project Act approving the construction of Hoover Dam and the formation of Boulder City. Afterwards, on March 11, 1931, Six Companies, Inc., a company made up of 6 different construction companies, was offered the contract to build the dam. Boulder City was constructed for housing the workers who came to work on the dam. As the earliest developed experiment in new town planning in the 20th Century, Boulder City holds national significance. The federal government owned the site. All land was preserved by the federal government under the Bureau of Reclamation.</p><br>
<p>The Boulder Canyon Project Federal Reservation as well as the federal rangers obeyed law and order on the reservation and that is why Boulder City was constructed. Around 1931–32, the Bureau of Reclamation and Six Companies, Inc. constructed the housing in Boulder City for their department heads, engineers, and employees on the dam. Permits started to be issued by (city manager) for building commercial buildings in the city from 1931. During 1932, the sight of north on Nevada Way towards the Bureau of Reclamation Building on the hill was quite similar to that of today. The management skills of Frank T. Crowe who was one of the most competent construction engineers to work in Reclamation caused the earlier completion of the dam in 1936, 22 months ahead of schedule.</p><br>
<p>The Clark Avenue Railroad Underpass, also known as the Bonanza Underpass, is a bridge and underpass in Las Vegas, Nevada, United States that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The bridge is so named since at the time of construction it crossed Clark Avenue which was later renamed to Bonanza Road. The underpass is currently part of Nevada State Route 579.</p><br>
<h2>Historic significance</h2><br>
<p>It is significant as the underpass allowed for access between Las Vegas and the settlements west of the city. Previously, it was a dangerous undertaking to cross the Union Pacific Railroad (ex-San Pedro, Los Angeles and Salt Lake Railroad) tracks.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The bridge was constructed in 1937 by the Works Progress Administration. The structure has changed over time, primarily due to a widening project on Bonanza Road.</p><br>
<p>Thomas Leavitt House, a brick house built in the nineteenth century in Bunkerville, Nevada, United States, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>The Thomas Leavitt House was built by Thomas Dudley Leavitt (1857&ndash;1933), who was born in Santa Clara, Utah, the son of Lemuel Sturdevant Leavitt and his wife Laura Melvina (Thompson). Thomas Dudley Leavitt settled in Bunkerville, Nevada, near Mesquite, Nevada. in 1877 with 22 other members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.</p><br>
<p>Leavitt&#39;s group harked back to church pioneer Joseph Smith, founding a utopian community based on an economic system based on cooperative labor and communal property ownership, principles that Mormon leader Brigham Young had set aside in favor of the tithing system. But Young permitted the settlement to proceed despite his differences with the utopian ideals of the United Order settlers.</p><br>
<p>Thomas Leavitt built a two-story brick home in Bunkerville for his first wife Louella (Abbott). Then Leavitt subsequently married a second wife Ada (Waite). The prosperous Leavitt, who had thrived growing grain, raising cattle and selling molasses, built another home for the family. The T-shaped house, two stories high and one room deep, had chimneys at each end. The design was typical of the homes of Mormon settlers dispersing from Salt Lake northward to Idaho and southward towards Nevada. The house featured multiple exterior doors, which in a Mormon polygamist community meant that the house would allow circulation while allowing some interior privacy. The house had no hallways, and was surrounded by large wooden porches on the exterior.</p><br>
<p>Eventually, the large home couldnt contain the Mormon settlers entire brood. He had gone on to father some 22 children—11 with each wife. So Leavitt built a house next door for his wife Ada. The original brick house today is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It sits on a large lot surrounded by a picket fence, with honey locust trees, chicken coops and the house&#39;s original stone granary out back. The house retains the character of the early Mormon utopian settlement.</p><br>
<p>Thomas Dudley Leavitt Park in Bunkerville is also named for the early Mormon pioneer.</p><br>
<p>The Hardin County Courthouse is one of Ohio&#39;s courthouses. Located in Kenton, Ohio, United States, it was completed in 1915 at a cost of $275,000. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on March 21, 1979, and a state historical marker was placed on the courthouse lawn in 1996.</p><br>
<p>The present courthouse is the third structure to occupy the middle of the citys central square; it replaced an 1880 building, which in turn replaced a structure erected in 1834. It is doubly symmetrical, with the northern and western sides being identical to the southern and eastern sides respectively. Architectural historians have ranked it as a fine example of neoclassical architecture, with elements such as pilasters topped with Doric capitals and walls of dressed stone. The northern and southern sides are divided into seven bays, while four bays are placed on each side of a central colonnade topped with pediments. The building is two stories tall with a ground floor substantially elevated above the surface of the ground. Lit by a skylight with stained glass, the interior features multiple murals and chandeliers made of brasswork. Granite was used to build the curbs surrounding the courthouse square, as well as the buildings steps, while the walls themselves are built of grey Indiana Limestone.</p><br>
<p>Parley Hunt House is a historic home in Bunkerville, Nevada which was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991.</p><br>
<p>It is a one-story stone hall and parlor plan house built by Parley Hunt in 1907, for use by himself and his mother. It was originally a three-room L-shaped house, with a rear room used for cooking.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Parley Hunt House is situated in Bunkerville, Nevada which is a village close to the Utah border. The village houses one thousand people and it is eighty miles northeast of Las Vegas. At the Bunkerville plat, it is located on tract thirty seven, section twenty five. The house is placed on Canal Street, it is named so because of the that runs alongside it.</p><br>
<p>Surrounded on three sides by a chain link fence, the house is built on a site of 0.824 acre. Though the Parley Hunt House is in fine state, it retains only a middling degree of integrity on account of large-scale. On the site, there are 3 non-contributing buildings which consist of 1 small, single story gable-roofed wood frame dwelling to the east of the house, and 2 wooden sheds on the western border of the site. It also has a lawn and quite a few fruit trees to the north of the residence. The structure has nouvelle aluminum windows, a composition roof, a plastic bubble skylight and an updated interior. It possesses a modernized version of concrete block fireplace as well which is in between the 2 south, front rooms on the interior. In the southeast room, a fashionable kitchen has been built. Currently, the loft is opened up over the south-west room. It has a couple of loft bedrooms. The back, northwest room has been bisected into a bedroom, bath and.</p><br>
<h2>History and Context</h2><br>
<p>Parley Smith Hunt stayed in the house till 1915. Prior to the 1950s, no less than 3 owners were changed when Mr. Freeman bought and refashioned the Parley Hunt House. Mr. Freeman changed the design of the loft as described in the previous section. Also the kitchen was appended by him during this modification. The structure was first completed by Mr. Parley with 3 rooms including the room at the back which was used as a kitchen. It had a big fireplace between the 2 rooms of the front. The stove of the back room was linked to a 2nd chimney. The redesign activities were continued by the 2 following owners Dan Eastman and Nick Bartlett. The redecoration process included the change of windows from wood to aluminum, and also from the first fireplace to the concrete block. A tiny living place to the east of the main structure was constructed by Bartlett for his son. The modification made by the present owners of the Parley Hunt House includes the insert of to walls and ceilings the changes at the roof.</p><br>
