<p>Wyoming is a frame historic house located in Clinton in Prince Georges County, Maryland, United States. It consists of three separate and distinct sections: the main block built in the third quarter of the 18th century, a ca. 1800 kitchen, and a connecting two-bay section of c. 1850. The house is a well-preserved example of Marylands gambrel-roofed colonial architecture, and is more specifically noteworthy as an excellent example of southern Maryland tidewater architecture. With the exception of Mt. Pleasant, the house may have the oldest boxwood in the county planted on its grounds.</p><br>
<p>Wyoming is also significant historically as the ancestral home of the Marburys, a family which produced many of Maryland&#39;s political, professional, and judicial leaders through the 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries. The house has been continuously owned by members of the family from its construction c. 1750 until 1973. A small Marbury family cemetery is located south of the main house in a grove of trees. This includes a large obelisk dedicated to Catharine Taylor Marbury, the wife of Fendall Marbury, who died in 1866. Wyoming is also notable for its great planting of boxwood, forming a walkway leading to the front of the house.</p><br>
<p>Wyoming was part of an original land grant known as Appledore, patented by Robert Middleton in 1688. Appledore is seen as #9 on the map of Tracts of the Lower Piscataway Hundred before April 23, 1696. The name "Wyoming", according to the Marbury family history, was chosen by a daughter of the family (Cora Marbury) after a favorite poem, "Gertrude of Wyoming", written by Thomas Campbell in 1809. The poem deals with a famous Indian massacre in the Wyoming Valley of Pennsylvania, and was a favorite of Cora&#39;s.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Francis Marbury, prominent in early 18th century Maryland as a vestryman of St. Johns, Broadcreek, the oldest parish in Prince Georges County; a Tobacco Inspector for the Piscataway district; a Land Commissioner for Prince George&#39;s County; and Judge of Survey in Charles County, acquired the property in 1698, known as Appledore. Upon his death in 1734, his landholdings were divided between his sons, Eusebius, Leonard, Luke, and William.</p><br>
<p>Little is known about Luke Marbury (d. October, 1758) second son of Francis Marbury, other than that he held positions as an Inspector of Tobacco at Piscataway. a commissioner of the county, and Justice of the Peace. He left an only son, Luke Marbury (II), to whom his property was transferred. (Luke Marbury I is the presumed builder of Wyoming.)</p><br>
<p>attained real distinction during the Revolutionary War. As he came to be called, Colonel Luke Marbury served on various Committees of Observation and Correspondence. He was chosen as a delegate to the Constitutional Convention of 1775, and participated in framing Marylands first constitution. When war appeared imminent, he was commissioned a captain of the local militia company. He fought in the Battle of Germantown, where he was captured and imprisoned. Col. Marbury was exchanged in 1781, and returned to Prince Georges County where local tradition records that he was carried through the streets of Upper Marlboro on the shoulders of the crowd. He served as a member of the State Legislature until he died in 1809.</p><br>
<p>Of note, Dr. William Beanes, Colonel Luke Marbury&#39;s brother-in-law, was taken prisoner shortly after the successful British assault on Washington, D.C., in August 1814. Francis Scott Key, a friend of Beanes, went on board the British ship in the Chesapeake Bay where Beanes was being held in an effort to secure his release. It is from this vantage point that Key witnessed the bombardment of Fort McHenry on the night of September 13–14, 1814, that inspired him to write the "Star-Spangled Banner."</p><br>
<p>Col. Marbury&#39;s eldest son, who was known as Captain William Marbury because of his service in the War of 1812, served in a number of positions of Legislature from 1798 to 1800, and was elected several times as Clerk of the County Court. Shortly after his marriage to Susan Fendall, his health began to fail and he died of tuberculosis at the age of 34.</p><br>
<p>William Luke Marbury, eldest son of Capt. William Marbury, inherited Wyoming at his fathers death. He devoted himself to agriculture and care of the familys large landholdings. It is his daughter, Cora who is credited with the creation of the name Wyoming for the family home. William Luke Marbury died about 1836, and his widow, Susan Fitzhugh Fendall Marbury, who died August 25, 1871, are both buried in the family graveyard on this property (graves unmarked according to current owners).</p><br>
<p>Susan Marbury transferred title of the Wyoming property to her son, Fendall on March 31, 1860. Fendall Marbury studied law at St. John&#39;s College in Annapolis and practiced in Alexandria, Virginia. He married, Catherine Taylor Marshall great-niece of Chief Justice John Marshall, on October 6, 1857, and they moved to Wyoming and made it their home. Fendall, like other Marburys, held many positions of responsibility, including member of the State Legislature, one of the State Presidential Electors, and a vestryman of St. Thomas parish. Until 1973 Wyoming was transferred from member to member of the Marbury family.</p><br>
<p>Wyoming was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.</p><br>
<h2>Wyoming Farm</h2><br>
<p>is a young chestnut and pawpaw orchard that started in 2016 on the grounds at Wyoming. Within 10 years, the orchard will produce fruit and nuts and will serve the Clinton and Washington, DC community by using "Pick Your Own" methods. Tourism opportunities exist in historical tours, permaculture workshops, private events. Wyoming Farm Studio is a photography study which offers private guided photo workshops managed by.</p><br>
<p>The William W. Early House is a Queen Anne-style house located at Brandywine in Prince George&#39;s County, Maryland, United States, and is privately owned. It was constructed in 1907. According to a 1989 Historic American Buildings Survey report on the house, "The William W. Early House is probably the best example of turn-of-the-century Queen Anne-style domestic architecture in the county."</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>William W. Early had the house built on the property of his childhood home which included 23 acres of land. He was the grandson of William H. Early, an important landowner and developer of the village of Brandywine. William W. Early was the general manager for the Southern Maryland Railroad; this house contained his business office. The family resided in the house until 1949.</p><br>
<p>There were minor changes to the house in 1940 and 1970 for modernization.</p><br>
<p>The William W. Early House was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.</p><br>
<h3>Architecture</h3><br>
<p>This Queen Anne style house is roughly square, with a hip-roofed -story main block, and asymmetrical gable-roofed extensions, projecting bays, and corner tower, all decorated with fine jigsawn and shingle detail. A two-story octagonal tower forms one corner of the house.</p><br>
<h2>Present</h2><br>
<p>The current house with 3,221 square feet of living space is on 3.27 acres. There was an extensive restoration in 2002. It has been featured on the Home and Garden Network&#39;s Old Homes Restored.</p><br>
<p>The Reliance Tipple is the site of two coal tipples associated with coal production at Reliance, Wyoming. The first tipple was built in 1910 and used until 1936. The wood structure was built on a sandstone foundation and served Reliance Mines No. 1 through No. 6. The perishable portions of the earlier tipple have disappeared, leaving only the sandstone foundations and some artifacts buried in the tailings pile.</p><br>
<p>The second tipple was built in 1936 when Reliance Mine No. 7 was opened. The new tipple was built more durably of concrete and steel. This tipple operated until 1955, when the Union Pacific Railroad, the chief consumer of the mine&#39;s coal, phased out steam locomotives.</p><br>
<p>The tipple operated as a sorting station for coal to be shipped from the Reliance Mine. Loaded coal cars filled with mined coal were moved to a rotary car dumper at the south end of the tipple. The coal was dumped into a hopper, then moved to a shaker screen that sorted the coal by size. After sorting to slack, or powdered, nut, egg and lump, the coal went to a sorting table where debris was removed by hand. The sorted and inspected coal then went to chutes and hoppers for storage. Much of this equipment remains at the site.</p><br>
<p>The Reliance mines were opened in 1906-1907 to meet increasing demand for coal. The Reliance mines were among many in the area that exploited four mining districts in Sweetwater County; Rock Springs, Superior, Point of Rocks and Black Butte. The Reliance Mines were part of the Rock Springs district. Rail spurs were built to central points in each district to collect and ship coal. Production increased to the end of World War I then declined, picking up only in the mid-1930s. The second tipple was built at Reliance in 1936, primarily for Mine no. 7 as well as 1 and 4. During World War II production peaked at 1.4 million tons per year. Activity declined after that, and the Reliance mines closed for good in 1955.</p><br>
<p>The Detroit Cornice and Slate Company Building is a Beaux-Arts style industrial office building located at 733 St. Antoine Street  in Downtown Detroit, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places and designated a Michigan State Historic Site in 1974.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Detroit Cornice and Slate Company was started by Frank Hesse in 1888. In 1897, the company hired Harry J. Rill to design a Beaux-Arts three-story building for their use. The building was used by the company until 1972, when lack of storage and parking space forced the company to relocate in Ferndale. In 1974, the building was renovated for office and commercial use by architect Bill Kessler. In the 1990s, the Metro Times newspaper moved into the building; a wraparound addition was constructed to increase room for the newspaper. In 1999 William Kessler and Associates restored and made an addition to the building.</p><br>
<p>In July 2013 Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan was finalizing the purchase of the Cornice and Slate Company Building, which had the Metro Times and Paxahau, an event production and management company that produces the Movement Electronic Music Festival. The Cornice and Slate building is adjacent to the BCBS Bricktown customer service facility. The acquisition of the Cornice and Slate building would add additional space to BCBSs Greektown facility. The ground floor lease to the Floods Bar & Grille would be maintained while the Cornice and Slate second and third floors would be used as office space for about 100 BCBS employees. This means that the other tenants would be expected to move out of the building. Helen Stojic, director of corporate communications for BCBS, did not state the sale price of the building. BCBS was expected to close on the purchase in August 2013.</p><br>
<p>By July 16, 2013 Chris Sexson of the Metro Times stated that the publication had not yet made definitive plans for its new headquarters but was already looking for a new headquarters location. The acquisition forced the Metro Times to move. The newspaper leased space in a facility in Ferndale, Michigan.</p><br>
<h2>Construction</h2><br>
<p>The facade of this building is constructed from finely crafted galvanized steel. These metal facades permitted elegant ornamentation to be constructed quickly and cheaply, particularly in locations like Detroit where stone was not easily obtainable. The Detroit Cornice and Slate Company itself fashioned many of the building&#39;s simulated carvings from sheet metal.</p><br>
<p>The Sweetwater Brewery, also known as the Green River Brewery, was built in 1900 in Green River, Wyoming. The present structure is the surviving remnant of a three-building complex comprising an office/saloon, engine house, and the present brewery building. It was the first brewery in Wyoming, with operations dating to 1872 when Adam Braun began the business, the first of a series of ethnic German brewers. The brewery was further developed by Otto Rauch and Karl Spinner. The present structure was built by the fourth proprietor, Hugo Gaensslen, a Chicagoan who decorated the building with turrets reminiscent of the Chicago Water Tower.</p><br>
<p>The two story building is composed of rock-faced ashlar sandstone, mostly quarried 1.5 mi away. The fanciful turrets feature mock-medieval features such as merlons and crenels. The largest tower is on the southwest corner and features a flagpole topped by a large ball.</p><br>
<p>Gaensslen concentrated on brewing, leasing the adjacent saloon to an operator. With the passage of the Volstead Act, brewing stopped and the company&#39;s name changed to the Sweetwater Beverage Company, making a non-alcoholic drink named Green River and a near-beer called "Wyoming Beverage". The business did not prosper and failed with the death of Gaensslen in 1931, two years before the end of Prohibition.</p><br>
<p>In 1936 the closed business was bought by a con man named Tom Flaherty, who made some poor beer and skipped town to Canada. Since that time, no beer has been made in the building, which has housed various commercial businesses. It currently is a local bar, known as "The Brewery".</p><br>
<p>The Eastwood Park Historic District is a historic district in Minot, North Dakota. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986. The listing included 118 contributing buildings and one contributing structure on 180 acre.</p><br>
<p>This 12 block area, in an oxbow of the Mouse River, was subdivided and platted into the city of Minot by K. E. and Belle Leighton in August 1906. The neighborhoods proximity to the downtown business district made it appealing to Minots prominent families</p><br>
<p>The area reflects a variety of early 20th century architectural styles including: Princess Ann, Craftsman, Tudor Revival, Mission Revival, Dutch Colonial, Greek Revival, Arts and Crafts, Georgian Colonial and Sears Catalog Homes.</p><br>
<p>Catalog homes were mail-order kits from Sears Roebuck and Company and other companies. “Kit” homes were delivered by rail and pieced together by the owner. The reason for the popularity of kit homes was threefold. The homes were fairly easy to finance, the kits supplied all or nearly all of the supplies needed to build the home and they mimicked nearly every popular style. One significant advantage of the catalog homes was the ease with which they could be added onto. If the house was built between 1900 and 1940 and bears a resemblance to a particular style, but has differences, it still may be a catalog home.</p><br>
<p>Many houses are virtually unchanged while others have been modified over the past 100 years. In spite of the passing of time, the neighborhood and tree-covered homes of Eastwood Park have retained their early-20th Century character.</p><br>
<p>In 1969 the area suffered major damage from the flood waters of the Mouse River.</p><br>
<p>Eastwood Park has also been the home to the Jewish Synagogue and the Greek Orthodox Church, which is still located here.</p><br>
<p>The only remaining “False Arch” bridge in North Dakota still provides pedestrian access from downtown Minot.</p><br>
<p>The Boeing United Airlines Terminal, Hangar and Fountain in Cheyenne, Wyoming were built for Boeing Air Transport between 1929 and 1934. The Louis Sullivan-influenced designs form a consistent theme in a time when Cheyenne Municipal Airport was a major air transport facility. The 1930 hangar was designed by Cheyenne architect Frederic Porter, Sr. The 1934 Art Deco fountain was designed as a memorial to early aviation history.</p><br>
<p>The hangar was designed by Fredric Porter, Sr.</p><br>

<p>Hollywood Pacific Theatre, also known as Warner Theatre, Warner Bros. Theatre, Warner Hollywood Theatre, Warner Cinerama, Warner Pacific, and Pacific 1-2-3, is a historic office, retail, and entertainment space located at 6433 Hollywood Boulevard in Hollywood, Los Angeles, California. It is best known for its movie theater, which was owned by Warner Bros. from 1928 to 1953, Stanley Warner Theatres  from 1953 to 1968, and Pacific Theatres from 1968 to 1994.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<h3>Beginnings</h3><br>
<p>Originally known as the Warner Bros. Theatre or Warner Hollywood Theatre, the latter used to avoid confusion with another Warner Theatre in downtown Los Angeles, this building was designed by G. Albert Lansburgh, an architect renowned for his theater designs, having previously designed the Palace, Orpheum, El Capitan, and more. The total cost of this building, which features Spanish Renaissance architecture,</p><br>
<p>The buildings centerpiece, its movie theater, was Hollywoods first movie theater designed specifically for sound. It opened on April 26, 1928, seating more than 2700 and showing Glorious Betsy, starring Conrad Nagel and Dolores Costello. This opening marked Warner Brothers&#39;s entry into the theater operation business in California, with this theater built to complete directly with the nearby Chinese and Egyptian Theatres. The theater entrance and lobby featured Churrigueresque detailing.</p><br>
<p>In addition to the theater, the building featured a nursery, emergency hospital, lounge, retail and office space, and a 3000 sq. ft. radio studio. Radio station KFWB occupied the studio, and two radio masts were added to the building soon after it opened, with the station&#39;s letters displayed on the masts.</p><br>
<h3>Change in ownership</h3><br>
<p>In 1949, the United States Supreme Court issued the Paramount Decision, prohibiting major film studios from owning movie theaters. To comply, Warner Brothers spun off Stanley Warner Theatres in 1953, at which point this building transferred ownership to that company. Stanley Warner Theatres later merged with RKO Theatres Corp to become RKO Stanley Warner.</p><br>
<h3>Renovation for widescreen</h3><br>
<p>In an era when theaters tried to compete with television by introducing widescreen, this venue was one of the few in Hollywood large enough to convert to Cinerama. After renovations, the theater reopened as Warner Cinerama on April 29, 1953. The new screen was 28 feet by 76 feet with a 146 degree arc, and seating was reduced to approximately 1,500 to accommodate the larger screen.</p><br>
<p>The first film shown at the Warner Cinerama was This is Cinerama, which grossed $3,845,200 in its first 115 weeks, a Los Angeles record. The film closed 133 weeks after it opened and on November 15, 1955, Cinerama Holiday opened, playing for 81 weeks and grossing $2,212,600. That film was followed by Seven Wonders of the World, which played for 69 weeks and grossed $1,659,361. Other cinerama films that played in this cinerama include South Seas Adventure (71 weeks), Search for Paradise (38 weeks), The Wonderful World of the Brothers Grimm (28 weeks), and the premiere run of How the West Was Won (93 weeks). This is Cinerama, Cinerama Holiday, and Seven Wonders of the World also had multi-week return engagements during this time period.</p><br>
<p>In 1961, the theater was equipped to show 70 mm film, and in 1968, Stanley Warner sold the theater to Pacific Theatres, who renamed it Hollywood Pacific Theatre. In the late 1960s and early 1970s, two Stanley Kubrick films had long runs at the theater: 2001: A Space Odyssey, which had its west coast premiere here and played for 80 weeks, and A Clockwork Orange.</p><br>
<p>In January 1978, the theater closed so that its balcony section could be converted into two additional 550-seat screens. The theater reopened in April 1978, having changed its name to Pacific 1-2-3.</p><br>
<h3>Influence on Carol Burnett&#39;s star on Hollywood Walk of Fame</h3><br>
<p>In the 1950s, a young Carol Burnett was working as an usherette when the theater was showing Alfred Hitchcock&#39;s Strangers on a Train. Having already seen the film, she advised two patrons arriving during the last 10 minutes of a showing to wait until the beginning of the next showing to avoid spoiling the ending. The manager observed Burnett, let the couple in, and then fired her, stripping the epaulettes from her uniform. Decades later, after achieving TV stardom, when she was offered a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, she said she wanted it "Right in front of where the old Warner Brothers Theater was, at Hollywood and Wilcox." Her star was placed at 6439 Hollywood Blvd., outside the entrance to the theater.</p><br>
<h3>Designation as a Historical Landmark</h3><br>
<p>In 1984, the Hollywood Boulevard Commercial and Entertainment District was added to the National Register of Historic Places, with Warner Theater listed as a contributing property in the district.</p><br>
<h3>End of use for exhibiting films</h3><br>
<p>On August 15, 1994, the theater closed as a full-time cinema. This was mostly due to structural damage caused by the 1994 Northridge earthquake and water damage that occurred during construction of the B Line. To date, the theater&#39;s balcony sections remain closed due to safety issues.</p><br>
<p>From 2000 to 2006, the building was used by the University of Southern California Entertainment Technology Center to experiment in digital projection. Dubbed the ETC Digital Cinema Lab in Hollywood, the building was host to numerous meetings, discussions, tests, and demos, the sum of which are often credited with providing the catalyst that made digital cinema a reality.</p><br>
<p>The building was occupied by Ecclesia Hollywood Church from early 2008 to July 2013, and has been vacant ever since, with owner Robertson Properties Group stating that restoring the building is not financially viable due to the amount of work that needs to be done.</p><br>
<p>Greensky Hill Indian United Methodist Church is located east of Charlevoix, Michigan at the junction of USA 31 and CR 630. On March 16, 1972, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places. The church has been preserved with all of the original woodwork and can comfortably seat about 80 people.</p><br>
<p>The church serves a free community breakfast, 9-10 AM, every Sunday morning. The meal is open to all, with no religious expectations or requirements. Worship services are also open to everyone, 10-11 AM, every Sunday.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The church was founded by Peter Greensky (1807-1866) also known as Shagasokicki, a Chippewa chief who had been converted to Christianity and became a preacher. It was founded in 1844. Greensky was introduced to Christianity by John Sunday. He was baptized into the Methodist Church in 1833, and licensed to preach in 1844. Greensky worked with Salmon Steele in operating the Pine River Indian Mission. He was later connected with the Isabella Indian Mission. From 1869-1871 he was in charge of the Oceana Indian Mission.</p><br>
<p>He decided to build a Protestant mission where he could preach and convert his Native American brothers and sisters to Christianity. According to the historical marker at the church, the first services were held in makeshift buildings of bark and boughs until the 1850s, when a church was constructed from lumber brought by canoe from Traverse City and then ported two miles to the site of the present day church. Around the church was a circle of "council trees" where the Indian chiefs could meet in peace to discuss tribal issues.</p><br>
<h2>Today</h2><br>
<p>The original church is still used by a congregation that celebrates both Christianity and Native American customs. In regular attendance are Peter Greenskys descendants: his great-great-great-grandson, Ray Greensky and Rays son Brayden Greensky and daughter Isabelle Jean Greensky.</p><br>
<p>The First Church of Hanover, also known as the First Presbyterian Church of Hanover or the Hanover Presbyterian Church, is located on Mount Pleasant Avenue in East Hanover, Morris County, New Jersey, United States. Established in 1718 in what was then the British Province of New Jersey, it is a member of the Presbyterian Church  and is the oldest religious congregation in Morris County. The congregation&#39;s current building, constructed in 1835, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The earliest record of the church is a deed dated September 2, 1718, from John Richard, "Schoolmaster," for three and a half acres of land adjoining the Whippany River, "in consideration of ye love, good will, and affection which I have and do bear towards my Christian friends and neighbors in Whippany," "and especially of those who shall or may mutually covenant by subscription to erect a decent and suitable meeting house for the public worship of God."</p><br>
<p>Due to long traveling distance and population increasing, "so-called" sister churches emerged in Morristown, Madison, and Parsippany. The Hanover Church was then rebuilt in 1755 near its current location. The church stood slightly east of the present building and parallel to the roadway. It served as a hospital during the Revolution when an epidemic of smallpox broke out among the soldiers quartered in and around Morristown. It has been said that Washington and his staff occupied the manse which is now remodeled and still stands a bit beyond and across the street from the present manse.</p><br>
<p>In 1835 the current church building was constructed from timbers from an old building and oak trees from the surrounding property. A few of the timbers in the edifice bear the marks of the hooks which suspended the cots when the old building was used as a hospital during the Revolution. The belfry was constructed in accordance with a design by the architect, Sir Christopher Wren.</p><br>
<p>Adjacent to the church property is a small cemetery. The cemetery contains many historic grave sites. One of the oldest graves is that of Ruth Burnet, 1750. The other grave sites are that of 52 soldiers, 38 from the Revolutionary War, 3 from the War of 1812, 8 from the Civil War, 1 from World War I and 2 from World War II.</p><br>
<p>The Azure Mountain Fire Observation Station is a historic fire observation station located on Azure Mountain at Waverly in Franklin County, New York. The station and contributing resources include a 40 ft, steel-frame lookout tower erected in 1918, a jeep trail now used as a hiking trail, which extends from the base of the mountain to two former observers&#39; cabins, and a foot trail from the cabins to the summit. The tower is a prefabricated structure built by the Aermotor Corporation to provide a front line of defense in preserving the Adirondack Forest Preserve from the hazards of forest fires.</p><br>
<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2001.</p><br>
<p>The Newport Opera House is a historic civic building and performing arts venue at 20 Main Street in the heart of downtown Newport, the county seat of Sullivan County, New Hampshire, United States. Built in 1886, it was billed as having the largest stage in New England north of Boston, and continues to serve as a performance venue today. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places, as "Town Hall and Courthouse", in 1980, for its architecture and civic roles, and is a contributing property in the Newport Downtown Historic District.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Newport Opera House is located on the east side of Main Street in downtown Newport. The -story brick building, with its clock and bell tower, is the most prominent feature of Newport&#39;s historic downtown. Architecturally the building is of a restrained Queen Anne Victorian style, with Panel Brick elements. Its main block is capped by a hip roof, with a corbelled brick cornice. Trim elements are mainly brick, but are accented with terra cotta panels. Windows on the ground floor are topped by segmented arches, while those on the second story have round-arch tops. The tower projects from the front facade, with the main entrance at its front. It has a belfry stage, which for a time housed the Revere bell that now stands in front of the building. Above the belfry stage the tower has a pyramidal roof from which gabled dormers project that house clock faces.</p><br>
<p>The building was built in 1886 to replace the previous town hall and courthouse which had burned down in 1885. It was designed by Hiram Beckwith, a regionally prominent architect from Claremont. It served for many years as Newport&#39;s town hall and as the main courthouse for Sullivan County, and has long served the region as a performance space The rebuilt Opera House was noted to have the largest stage north of Boston. In 1974, the Opera House was restored, which concluded with the unveiling of the stage in 1976 and the production of The Music Man.</p><br>
<p>The former Elks Lodge  is a historic building in Lima, Ohio, United States. The lodge was the fifty-fourth of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks to be chartered; it is the largest lodge in Ohio. It is located within the Ohio West Central District No. 7120. The original lodge building, built in 1909, has been sold and is, as of 2019, used by Tabernacle Baptist Church.</p><br>
<p>The lodge building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on October 7, 1982. It was one of seventeen Lima buildings listed on the Register as a group, the "Lima Multiple Resource Area." Of these buildings, it was one of the newest. Around the time of its construction in the early twentieth century, oil and railroading had taken Lima&#39;s economy to an extremely prosperous point.</p><br>

It is a two-part frame farmhouse with a two-story, three-bay side-passage main house with a smaller two-story, two-bay wing. It features a one-story hip-roofed porch across the facade added in 1928. It was at this house where Samuel A. Mudd treated the injured John Wilkes Booth, who was fleeing justice a day after assassinating President Abraham Lincoln on April 14, 1865, following the defeat of the Confederacy in the American Civil War.</p><br>
<p>"St. Catharine" has been in the Mudd family since the 1690s. In 1974, St. Catharine was listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Currently, it is operated as a historic house museum.</p><br>
<p>The Yucca Theatre in Hysham, Montana, was built in 1931 by David Manning. The Mission style movie theater initially had a stage for theatrical productions which was removed in 1936. The theater closed in 1957 and became a part of the adjoining Manning home. The theater has since been restored and is used as a community theater. The theatre is significant for its architecture and its association with Manning, a prominent Montana legislator.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The theatre is a two-story Mission style building, built of stucco-clad brick. The front facade faces south and features two buttressed towers at the corners flanking the main entrance. The entry and octagonal ticket booth are inset between the towers under a railed balcony. The front and sides are detailed with projecting vigas. The towers are subdivided into four piers each, with a domed cap. The theaters interior was originally entirely used by the auditorium space, but in 1936–37 the stage was altered to become living space for the owners family. In 1950 these spaces were expanded with one-story additions. The living quarters were expanded again in 1974, shortening the main house. The auditorium has a small balcony under the projection booth.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>

<p>The Avondale Mill was a large gable-front stone structure, three stories in height, and 10 bays long by three wide. It was located on the bank of the Patuxent River in the city of Laurel, Prince Georges County, Maryland. It was constructed in 1844–1845 for Captain William Mason & Son of Baltimore. It was complemented by the neighboring Laurel Mill built in 1811, S.D. Heaths machine shop, and Richard Israel&#39;s flouring mill. At that time it was provided with the machinery for the manufacture of fine cloth, running as many as 1,500 cotton spindles with 150 employees. In 1845, industrialist Peter Gorman was responsible for the first macadamized  road in Laurel, Avondale Street next to the new Mill.</p><br>
<p>The mill was sold for $10,000 with a $13,000 ground rent in 1850 to S.P. Heath and James Arthur (Webb Heath & Co.). In the mid-1850s, it was converted to a gristmill. The waters of the Patuxent provided an 8–9 foot fall and gave the mill 60-70 horsepower to use, along with steam power fueled by coal from Cumberland as early as 1854. George William Brown purchased the 21.7 acre property and outbuildings from Benjamin F. Crabbs, but sold his holdings in a mortgage auction on 20 October 1897. By 1904, the mill employed only 4 people, but produced $10,400 in product annually. Avondale Mill was the only one of Laurel&#39;s 19th century mills to have survived into the late 20th century. A devastating fire on December 19, 1991, destroyed the mill. The remains were then demolished and the site cleared for use as a community park.</p><br>

<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Brothers Robert (Jr.) and William Stead ran a wholesale grocery business at the present site of Christ Church until the year 1844. Christ Church Detroit was founded by a group of Episcopalians in 1845, who decided that St. Pauls Church (now St. Pauls Cathedral) was too crowded. The founders built a small wooden church, designed by Lieutenant Montgomery C. Meigs, as its first place of worship. Fifteen years later, plans were laid for a new building on the same site. In 1861, a chapel was constructed near the original structure for use while a larger church was constructed. The present church, designed by Gordon W. Lloyd, was completed in 1864.</p><br>
<h2>Construction</h2><br>
<p>The church is built in an American Gothic style, using limestone and sandstone; a massive belfry with a squared-off Germanic roof dominates the front facade. The interior boasts transepts with galleries and hammerbeam trusses supporting the roof. All interior woodwork, save the roof, is made from local butternut. There are two Tiffany windows in the church, with more windows designed by other famous glass companies such as Franz Meyer and Company and J. Wippell and Co.</p><br>
<h2>Current use</h2><br>

<p>The Lloyd Tilghman House is a historic house in downtown Paducah, Kentucky, United States. It is also known as the Tilghman-Woolfolk House and the Lloyd Tilghman House and Civil War Museum.</p><br>
<h2>Early years</h2><br>
<p>The Greek Revival house was built in 1852 by Robert Woolfolk on behalf of Lloyd Tilghman, who moved with his family to Paducah that year. Tilghman was a United States Military Academy graduate, having finished 46th out of 49 in his class, but spent less than a year as a Second Lieutenant. He moved to Paducah, then a community of 3,000 people, due to being assigned there by his employer, the New Orleans and Ohio Railroad, as a railroad civil engineer for the first railroad to connect Paducah to major cities to the south. Tilghman did not purchase the house; Woolfolk remained the property owner. Tilghman and his wife, seven children, and five enslaved people called the residence home until 1861, although Tilghman spent much of his time working on a railroad in the Isthmus of Panama. At the time of his departure from the house, he was one of two colonels of the Kentucky State Guard. Tilghman left Paducah in June 1861, delaying his departure to delay officers loyal to the Union from leading the state militia in the pro-secession Paducah.</p><br>
<p>Woolfolks family then moved into the house. When USA soldiers finally arrived in Paducah, their headquarters were directly across from the Woolfolk house. Woolfolk was pro-slavery and flew a Confederate flag in response, sparking a riot in December 1861 that included USA soldiers, particularly those of the 11th Indiana Regiment. The incident would begin USA Brigadier General Charles Ferguson Smiths decline as he saw his subordinate, Ulysses S. Grant, raised above him almost immediately.</p><br>
<p>Woolfolk was banished from Paducah and the United States to Canada on August 1, 1864, by USA Brigadier General Eleazer A. Paine. Two weeks later, his wife and family were also banished to Canada; eight of Woolfolk&#39;s household, four others from Paducah, and eleven from Columbus, Kentucky, joined Woolfolk into exile.</p><br>
<h2>Post-war</h2><br>
<p>After the war, the house was a residence until 1906, when it saw various commercial uses. It was slated for demolition in August 1986, but Growth, Inc. saved the building after work. In 1987 the roof was stabilized, and in 1992 it came under the care of the Tilghman Heritage Foundation. $150,000 was spent to save the building from 1986 to 1998.</p><br>
<p>It is now used as a Civil War Museum focusing on the western theater of the war. Upon its grand reopening on March 25, 2006, the museum focused on Western Kentucky&#39;s role in the war. On December 1, 2008, the Sons of Confederate Veterans purchased the home from the foundation, with each group paying half of the remaining $150,000 mortgage. The museum will keep its previous operation hours from 12:00 to 16:00, Wednesday through Saturday, from March to November.</p><br>

<p>The Sutliff Bridge is a bridge over the Cedar River at Sutliff, a Johnson County community near Lisbon, Iowa, United States. A Parker truss bridge, it was built in 1897 and 1898 at a cost of approximately $12,000. J. R. Sheely was the engineer for the original Sutliff Bridge. After a modern replacement was built over the Cedar in 1983, the bridge was slated for destruction, but it was ultimately saved, and on May 15, 1998, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>Although the bridge remained a celebrated location for locals and for visitors from across Iowa, it succumbed to massive floods in the second week of June 2008: while the river normally flowed many feet below the bottom of the bridge, the floods topped the bridges deck, and one of the bridges spans was washed away on June 13 as the surrounding countryside was inundated with vast amounts of water. It is estimated that restoring the bridge will cost $1.7 million. Most of this money would come from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), with the rest coming from donations and local governments; both FEMA and the Johnson County Board of Supervisors have agreed in principle to repair the bridge. The bridge reconstruction was supervised by VJ Engineering of Coralville, Iowa, and construction was completed by Iowa Bridge and Culvert of Washington, Iowa. In October 2012 a ribbon-cutting ceremony was held, opening the bridge to public use for the first time in four years.</p><br>

<p>The Ruby Theater is a small movie theater located in Chelan, Washington. Built in 1914, it was named after Ruby Potter, the step-daughter of its manager, Frank Potter. The original owners were Herbert R. Kingman and Morrison M. Kingman. Original seating capacity was 225 on the main level and 125 in the balcony.

<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Frank Potter moved his operation from the storefront Gem Theater to the Kingmans new Ruby when the Kingmans purpose-built theater opened. Competition initially came from the Auditorium, which burned shortly after the Ruby opened in 1914. Potter committed a murder/suicide in 1919, killing his wife and leaving behind 15-year-old Ruby. That year the Kingmans sold the theater to a barber named Kelsey from Omak. The Kelseys operated the theater themselves until 1937, then leased it to operators through 1972. The theater reopened in 1974.</p><br>

The theater showed both movies and vaudeville shows, as well as community activities and productions. Brown closed the theater in 1959 due to competition from television and died the next year. Mrs. Brown sold the theater to Claude Case for $1.00, retaining the right to live in the apartment, living there until she died in 1970. Case owned the property until 1997, using the theater for storage for his collections and his construction business, with no alterations.</p><br>
<p>The theater was acquired by Jim and Jenna Dixon in 1997, who operate the theater as a community theater.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Nifty Theatre was built as both a nickelodeon movie house and as a vaudeville theater, even though the nickelodeon era was largely past in 1919, when palace-style movie theaters were starting to be built. As Waterville was a small town, the Nifty was a relatively modest theater that with its flat floor partially could serve as a dance hall and as a prize-fighting arena. The freestanding building stands a block away from the Downtown Waterville Historic District. Its main facade is stuccoed with pilasters at the corners and a curved parapet. The side and rear elevations are covered in tongue-and-groove wood siding. The entry is sheltered by a marquee suspended from the front wall. with steps rising to the main entry door. A further set of interior stairs rises to the ticket window, with the lobby beyond through three doors. Above the doors a permanent backlit glass panel reads "Tonight Nifty Theater 3 reels - Change of Program." The lobby gives on to the auditorium which is level for 15 ft before sloping down. The auditorium measures 65 ft by 30 ft, with a second flat area of floor in front of the stage. The back wall features windows for a "crying room", from which parents could watch the movie while minding noisy children, as well as openings for projection. An office area opens into the east side of the auditorium, with a women&#39;s toilet on the west side, next to the stairs to the crying room. Fixed seating is provided in flip-up wood seats, with 158 seats at present. Exit doors lead outside from either side of the auditorium.</p><br>
<p>The stage rises about 3 ft above the floor, with 6 ft wide wings on either side. The stage is 17 ft by 30 ft. A low wall separates the orchestra pit from the seating. Doors at the rear of the stage lead to dressing rooms. The stage edge is equipped with footlights, while the original painted stage backdrop remains operable.</p><br>
<p>A lower level under the auditorium is entered from the east and west, containing an apartment for the owners with a living room, dining room, kitchen, bathroom, two bedrooms and a utility room. The remainder of the space is crawl space, deepened at some points for storage and electrical panels.</p><br>
<p>The National State Bank Building is located on River Street in Troy, New York, United States, at its junction with Fulton and Third  streets. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1970, one of the earliest buildings in the city so recognized. Since 1986 it has been a contributing property to the Central Troy Historic District.</p><br>
<p>It was built in 1904, on the site of a public market that had burned down the year before, by local architects M. F. Cummings & Son in the Beaux Arts architectural style. Five stories high, three bays wide by nine deep, its fenestration is similar to the larger Ilium Building a block to the east. The first story is faced in rusticated stone, the second through fifth in light gold brick with stone and terra cotta trim, and with carved stone panels beneath the third and fourth floor windows. These three distinct zones, along with the building&#39;s steel frame construction and use of an elevator inside, show the influence of early skyscraper design.</p><br>
