However, the owners, Morris Rosenberg and Louis Kaplan, ran into financial problems in 1928 and had to sell the building in early 1929. The Saint Paul Manor served as an apartment building for the entirety of its existence.</p><br>
<p>The East Grand Boulevard Historic District is a historic district located along East Grand Boulevard between East Jefferson Avenue and Mack Avenue in Detroit, Michigan. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>During the late 19th century, creating wide, graceful streets was seen as a way to create a beautiful city. After much debate, in the 1890s Detroit adopted the idea of creating a "Grand Boulevard" encircling the city. By 1913, the landscaped Grand Boulevard was generally recognized as a major adornment of the city, and a prestigious address in which to reside.</p><br>
<p>Houses built along this section of the Boulevard were among the grandest in the city at the time they were built; however, by the mid-1920s, the appeal of living along Grand Boulevard declined. During the Great Depression and later during World War II, some of these massive elegant homes in this historic district were cut up into small apartments. Currently, this section of Grand Boulevard has become a mixed-use neighborhood. Only a few of these homes are still used as single-family residences; many serve as group homes for those who need institutional care.</p><br>
<p>Five miles north of the district the Jam Handy/North End-East Grand Boulevard Historic District is proposed (Jam Handy). It is home to Submerge Record Distribution.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The East Grand Boulevard Historic District includes a few moderate-sized apartment buildings and numerous large homes. The apartment buildings in the district include the El Tovar Apartments, Saint Paul Manor Apartments, and Kingston Arms Apartments. Structures in this district were constructed primarily between 1900 and 1925.</p><br>
<p>Rivermont is a historic home located at Lynchburg, Virginia. It is a two-story Greek Revival frame house completed in 1852 and located within the Daniel&#39;s Hill Historic District. It was built for Judge William Daniel Jr.  and his second wife, Elizabeth Hannah Cabell . In 1997 the Lynchburg Redevelopment and Housing Authority gained title to the property and donated it to The Rivermont House, Inc.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000.</p><br>
<p>Jefferson Hall was an apartment building located in Detroit, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985, but subsequently demolished. The building was removed from the National Register of Historic Places in 2024.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Jefferson Hall was constructed in 1916. It operated as an apartment through the 1980s, but was demolished in about 1990.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>Jefferson Hall was a four-story red brick apartment building built in the "garden court" style, where apartments are arranged in a U-shape around a central courtyard. This arrangement gave tenants more window space and a courtyard view. The building was trimmed with stone. The main lobby was located in the center of the U, and two commercial stores flanked the entryway. Projecting bay windows were located above, on the second through fourth floors.</p><br>
<p>The Rush Historic District is a zinc mining region of the Ozark Mountains in Arkansas. Now located within Buffalo National River, the district includes ruins dating from 1880 to 1940. The area was an important part of what became known as the North Arkansas Lead and Zinc District, and played a role in the development of railroads and modern infrastructure in the area.</p><br>
<p>During World War I the Rush Creek mines were the center of the zinc industry in Arkansas. Ten mining companies operated 13 developed mines within the district, more than in any other mining district within the North Arkansas District.</p><br>
<p>The buildings, structures, and ruins at Rush are the last visible remains of historic zinc mining activity in Arkansas. Of the other mining districts which once stretched across northern Arkansas, only limited debris now marks those sites. Rush is the only area left to retain not only the mines, but also buildings, structures, and ruins pertaining to mining and community life. The Rush Historic District exists today within the same environment and setting as it did during its periods of historic significance. Nearly as isolated today as it was historically, it has been little touched by time. The ghost town, mines, and waste piles visible on the bluffs immediately set the flavor of the district as an abandoned mountain mining community. The buildings, structures, ruins, and sites in the district exist in the same relationships as they did during the mining era.</p><br>
<p>The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.</p><br>
<p>Historic Sandusky is a historic home located in Lynchburg, Virginia. It is a formal two-story, brick "I" house built about 1808, with a later addition. It was built by Charles Johnston, and is one of the earliest homes in the Lynchburg area to display the architectural details and refinements characteristic of Federal design.</p><br>
<p>While Charles Johnston lived in the house he was visited by Thomas Jefferson of Poplar Forest who went to the home as a dinner guest December 1817. Jefferson and Johnston knew each other as neighbors and traded goods often.</p><br>
<p>The home was then sold to John Mathews Otey, whose family occupied the house from 1821 to 1841, before it changed hands to George C. Hutter, whose family owned the house for over 110 years.</p><br>
<p>In 1864, during the Battle of Lynchburg, Sandusky served as Union headquarters. Among those quartered at the home were Gen. David Hunter and future Presidents Rutherford B. Hayes and William McKinley, who served on Hunter&#39;s staff. During the occupation by the Union soldiers, the residents of the house, including retired Major Hutter and his family, were locked upstairs. Before retreating, General Hunter gave orders to his troops to ransack the house, and "Union soldiers plunged bayoneted rifles into the family portraits hanging on the walls..."</p><br>
<p>Other buildings on the property consist of two 20th-century tenant houses, one frame and one brick. It is currently owned and operated by the Historic Sandusky Foundation in partnership with the University of Lynchburg as a house museum related to the American Civil War and the Battle of Lynchburg.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
<p>It was also listed on the Virginia Landmarks Register in the same year.</p><br>
<p>John Marshall Warwick House is a historic home located at Lynchburg, Virginia. It was built in 1826 by prominent Lynchburg tobacconist and city mayor , John Marshall Warwick. It was one of the first houses to be built on the crest of Lynchburg Hill, later to be called Court House Hill, overlooking the James River. It exhibits the transition from the Federal to the Greek Revival styles. His grandson, United States Senator John Warwick Daniel was born in this home.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1996. It is located in the Court House Hill-Downtown Historic District.</p><br>
<p>Rosedale, a historic property comprising the Graves Mill ruins, Christopher Johnson Cottage, and Rosedale mansion, is located at Lynchburg, Virginia. The Rosedale property contains two buildings of major importance, the ruins of an 18th-century grist mill, and numerous subsidiary buildings. The earliest structure remaining is the Christopher Johnson Cottage, dating from ca. 1764 to 1774. The small, -story frame structure has long been known as the Johnson Cottage. The Rosedale mansion was erected in 1836 by Odin Clay, the first president of the Virginia and Tennessee Railroad, and is a two-story, three-bay, brick home laid in Flemish bond. The house was enlarged in 1929; a three-bay brick wing was added the original house. It was designed by Lynchburg architect Stanhope S. Johnson, who is best known for designing the Allied Arts Building.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983, with a boundary increase in 1992.</p><br>
<p>First Baptist Church is a historic Baptist church located at 1100 Court Street, Lynchburg, Virginia. It is built of hard-pressed red brick on a rough granite foundation. The main facade of the church, facing Eleventh Street, and the two sides are centered with large rose windows framed within Gothic arches covered with hood moldings. Construction began in 1884 and the church was dedicated in 1886. In the 1920s, Lynchburg architect Stanhope S. Johnson designed the complementary Sunday School annex. In 1941, the interior of the sanctuary was modified by Stanhope S. Johnson, with the creation of a divided chancel. It is home to the oldest Baptist congregation of Lynchburg, established in July 1815. Current as of 2020, First Baptist Church is affiliated with the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship .</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982. It is located in the Court House Hill-Downtown Historic District.</p><br>
<p>St. Paul&#39;s Church is a historic Episcopal church in Lynchburg, Virginia, United States.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Lynchburg&#39;s oldest Episcopal parish was established in 1822. A replacement building was constructed in 1852, which Vermont schoolteacher turned local businessman and vestryman Elijah Fletcher helped fund. By then, Fletcher had moved his principal residence back to Amherst, Virginia, and helped found Ascension Episcopal Church there, although he conducted business and owned property in both the village and city. After his death and the American Civil War, one of his daughters, Indiana Fletcher Williams, would marry Episcopal priest J. Henry Williams of New York, and after the death of their only child, Daisy, and (though her last will and testament) found Sweet Briar College (incorporated in 1901 and on whose board successive rectors of this parish sat).</p><br>
<p>The current building was planned in 1888, cornerstone laid on May 26, 1891, first service held in the still-unfinished building the week before Christmas 1895. It is on a different lot from the 1852 building, which by then was considered too small. The architect, Day of Philadelphia, would later become known for his collegiate Gothic designs on the campuses of Princeton University, the University of Pennsylvania, Yale University and Wellesley College. The belfry was added in 1912, pursuant to plans submitted by a local architectural firm, Lewis & Burnham, although not in the original Day plans. The same firm built a parish house at the same time. Although local tradition attributes the stained glass windows to Louis Tiffany, and they are of that school, no documentation supporting that attribution has yet been found.</p><br>
<p>In the 1960s, the parish bought the adjacent Carter Glass house for use as a parish house, the previous parish house being too small.</p><br>
<p>During remodeling in 1970s, the organ and choir were moved to the rear balcony and most chancel furniture removed.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The building is of Richardsonian Romanesque design and constructed of gray granite (quarried in southwest Virginia), and trimmed with brownstone. A belfry was added in. Connected to the main sanctuary is the parish house, built in 1912.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982. It is located in the Court House Hill-Downtown Historic District.</p><br>
<p>The South River Friends Meetinghouse, or Quaker Meeting House, is a historic Friends meeting house located at Lynchburg, Virginia. It was completed in 1798. It is a rubble stone structure, approximately 30 by, with walls 16 inches thick, and 12 feet high. The building was abandoned in the 1840s, with the Quakers of the region moving to Ohio due to economic hardship, and their moral opposition to slavery. The ruins of the building were utilized during the beginning of the Battle of Lynchburg, with Union troops camping near the ruins.</p><br>
<p>In 1899, Presbyterians purchased the ruins and 10 acres from the Society of Friends. They rebuilt the ruins for use as their church and held their first service in 1901, naming the new church Quaker Memorial Presbyterian Church in honor of its Quaker heritage. The building was restored to its historic appearance in 1990.</p><br>
<p>Adjacent to the structure is a historic burial ground. Buried there is John Lynch, the founder of the city whose final resting place is marked by a modern plaque.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.</p><br>
<p>The Parker–Hickman Farm includes the oldest standing log structure in Buffalo National River. The farm was homesteaded in the 1840s by settlers from Tennessee. It embodies an agricultural landscape with farmstead, extant fields , fencerows, roads, cattle gates, garden and orchard plots, wooded slopes and springs. Unlike most farms in the Ozarks the landscape is remarkably intact and provides insights and evidence spanning portions of two centuries of Ozark history; not randomly chosen, it conveys a feeling of enclosure and exemplifies adaptive use of topography. Among farms of its kind in Missouri and Arkansas it was once typical but now survives as a rare baseline example for Ozark yeomanry farms of mixed economies. Parker–Hickman was an agricultural enterprise that continuously operated until 1982 from a farmstead which exemplifies the entire period, and a rare one for the Ozarks since it survives. Clustered around the farmstead are several structures: barns, sheds smokehouse, privy, fences, stock feeders and house that represent a cross-section of rural vernacular architecture still in their original location.</p><br>
<p>Although other farms in the Ozark–Ouachita region had similar origins, with settlement patterns that evolved from subsistence to commercial agriculture, the Parker–Hickman farm is important because it survived intact. Until purchased by the National Park Service the Parker–Hickman farm continued uninterrupted as an agricultural enterprise for more than one hundred forty-five years, a rare intact survival of a typical southern upland farm in the Ozark–Ouachita region.</p><br>
<p>Fort Lancaster is a former United States Army installation located near Sheffield, Texas. The fort was established in 1855 on the San Antonio–El Paso Road to protect migrants moving toward California through Texas. The US Army occupied Fort Lancaster until Texas seceded from the United States in March 1861 and were replaced at the fort by forces loyal to the Confederate States of America. The Confederate Army held the fort from November 1861 until April 1862, when it was again abandoned and then burned.</p><br>
<p>The 82-acre site, now operated by the Texas Historical Commission as Fort Lancaster State Historic Site, contains the ruins of 29 buildings that made up the fort and a visitor center with a museum.</p><br>
<h2>Use as military outpost</h2><br>
<p>Fort Lancaster was established during the American colonization of Texas in the 19th century, a process that began in the 1820s with the immigration of Anglo-Americans into Spanish, later Mexican, Texas. In 1836, an Anglo-American-dominated Texas seceded from Mexico and became a republic that was annexed into the United States a decade later. That annexation provoked a war between Mexico and the United States in 1848 that the latter won, enabling the US to annex what is now the Southwestern United States.</p><br>
<p>The 1849 discovery of gold in California, one of the annexed territories, was the catalyst for an unprecedented migration of white settlers across Texas. They moved along such routes as the San Antonio–El Paso Road (also called the Military Road), through territory traversed by the Comanche, Kiowa, and Lipan Apache peoples, who vigorously resisted colonization. To protect the settlers, the US Army established two lines of forts across Texas from 1848 to 1852. Along the Military Road were, from east to west, Forts Inge, Clark, Davis, and Bliss. Between Forts Clark and Davis, however, was 300 mi of wilderness. To close that gap, General Persifor Frazer Smith, commander of the Department of Texas, ordered on July 20, 1855, that an outpost be established where the Military Road crossed the Pecos River.</p><br>
<h3>Occupation by the US Army, 1855–1861</h3><br>
<p>To carry out Smiths orders, two companies of the 1st Infantry Regiment under the command of Captain Stephen Decatur Carpenter departed Fort Duncan on August 7, 1855. On August 20, 1855, Carpenter arrived at Live Oak Creek, 4 mi from the Military Roads crossing over the Pecos, and established Camp Lancaster. On August 21, 1856, the outpost was made a permanent US Army installation with the name Fort Lancaster. Its garrison was charged with patrolling the Military Road and policing the frontier. As infantrymen, sometimes mounted on mules, the garrison was ineffective at stopping raiding by mounted indigenous war parties.</p><br>
<p>The first structures at Fort Lancaster were jacales, huts with wood or earth walls with canvas roofs, and prefabricated buildings brought by wagon and assembled on-site. In June 1856, Colonel Joseph K. Mansfield inspected Camp Lancaster and described it as being composed mostly of jacales. According to a letter by the posts quartermaster from May 1857, which described the fort as having a "half-finished appearance", there were five permanent officers residences and two kitchens and attached mess halls, built of stone and adobe bricks, with four permanent enlisted men&#39;s barracks under construction. Construction of these and other buildings, which was complicated by a lack of readily available nearby lumber, lasted until 1860.</p><br>
<p>On July 9, 1857, a caravan of 40 men, 25 camels, and over a hundred sheep led by Edward Fitzgerald Beale, a former US Navy lieutenant, arrived at Fort Lancaster. The caravan, part of a US Army unit formed in 1855 to test the feasibility of using camels as pack animals on the American frontier, had encamped at a creek 2 mi from Fort Lancaster. At the invitation of the forts officers, Beales caravan stayed the night at Fort Lancaster, then departed the next day. A second caravan of camels arrived at the fort in June 1860.</p><br>
<h3>Use by Confederate Texas, 1861–1865</h3><br>
<p>On March 2, 1861, Texas seceded from the United States to join the Confederate States of America. On 4 February, as it moved the state towards secession, the Texas Secession Convention demanded the surrender of all federal garrisons and property in the state. Brevet Major General David E. Twiggs, commander of the Department of Texas since 1857, capitulated. He issued orders on February 24 and 27, 1861, for the garrisons of the forts along the Military Road to abandon their billets and march to the Gulf Coast for evacuation from Texas. Fort Lancasters garrison departed on March 19, 1861, and were replaced by a company of Confederate troops. On November 28, 1861, Confederate general Henry Hopkins Sibley arrived at Fort Lancaster as he was following the Military Road towards the New Mexico Territory, which he hoped to invade and capture for the Confederacy. The campaign was a failure. After being defeated at the Battle of Glorieta Pass in March 1862, Sibleys force retreated. Pursued by Federal forces, the Confederates abandoned the forts of the Military Road; Fort Lancaster&#39;s garrison departed on April 2, 1862. The fort itself was at around this time destroyed by fire, either by the retreating Confederates or by indigenous peoples.</p><br>
<h3>Use by the US Army, 1867–1873</h3><br>
<p>When the Civil War ended, the USA Army occupied Texas; Texas was under USA Army administration until 1875. During the occupation, several other frontier forts were established in Texas. Various companies of the 9th Cavalry rotated through Fort Lancaster and gradually the outpost was rebuilt. These soldiers escorted stagecoaches westward and fought skirmishes with Apaches. In December 1867, the USA 9th Cavalry&#39;s Company K, a unit of African-American cavalrymen with White commissioned officers, was stationed at the fort. These were seasoned "horse soldiers", including Civil War veteran noncommissioned officers. Largely because White cavalry units objected to designating them as "USA Cavalry", they were furnished with "saddle mules" and horses inferior to those of other USA cavalry units; sometimes they were issued outdated arms and other such second-rate equipment. Despite their equally dangerous and arduous duties, they were officially called "mounted infantry". A motto ascribed to them was "forty miles a day on beans and hay". On December 26, 1867, a large band of Kickapoo and Comanchero raiders attacked the fort to steal horses. The company repelled the attack, but lost 38 horses and mules. Some of the raiders returned two days later; they were unsuccessful in taking the remaining animals.</p><br>
<h2>Archeology</h2><br>
<p>Within 40 years after being built, the wooden-frame superstructures of some buildings at the fort burned. "Only a few partially extant walls, a chimney, and numerous wall foundations remained in 1912." This was the general condition of the site when the first scientific archeological investigations were conducted in 1966. Archeological excavations were again conducted in 1971, when the site was mapped and test excavations were done. Archeological investigations in 1974 revealed that officers quarters buildings had wood-plank floors, thresholds, and doorjambs fitted with iron pintels; the assumption is that doors were also of wood. These carbonized remains were left in situ after being exposed during archeological investigations, photographed, and recorded by measured drawings using grid systems tied to "modern" architectural features of the park facilities. The excavation units were stabilized by careful backfilling with soil removed from those units to protect the remains for anticipated future public display. Subsequent archeology in 1975 and 1976 revealed that wooden superstructure and flooring of sites commanding officers residence and the sutlers store had likewise been destroyed by fire. Architectural details of buildings investigated by archeological excavation 1974-1976 indicate that before the buildings burned, they were all similar in design and construction, as would be expected of military engineering.</p><br>
<h2>Preservation</h2><br>
<p>The ruins of Fort Lancaster were deeded in 1965 to the Crockett County government, which ceded it three years later to the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD). The fort was added to the National Register of Historic Places on March 11, 1971.</p><br>
<p>TPWD architects attempted the first interpretative restoration at the site with modern cement mortar to stabilize the remaining stone walls and cement-fortified adobes to simulate the original plain-mud adobes of the enlisted mens mess-hall. Associated with the 1974–1976 archeological investigations and as a preservation measure the archeologists in 1976 made adobes from untempered mud dug on site with hand tools. These adobes, sized to duplicate the original adobe bricks, were laid atop remaining original adobe walls at some of the officers quarters on the north side of the parade ground. Remains of these adobes still formed a protective preservative layer as late as April, 2010. A budget shortfall prompted the state to yield management of the site to Texas Rural Communities, Incorporated, in 1993. On January 1, 2008, operational control of the site was transferred from TPWD to the Texas Historical Commission, which now manages preservation and public visitation of the site.</p><br>
<p>The Central High School Neighborhood Historic District in Little Rock, Arkansas encompasses the vicinity surrounding Little Rock Central High School. The area was designated to provide historic context to the National Historic Landmark school. Notably, it features the restored Magnolia Gas Station, which played a crucial role as a staging area for the media during the school integration crisis of 1957. Until the early 21st century, this building operated as the National Park Service visitor center for the historic district. Additionally, the neighborhood comprises various residences showcasing architectural styles such as bungalows, Tudor Revival, and Colonial Revival.</p><br>
<p>The Harmony Borax Works is located in Death Valley at Furnace Creek Springs, then called Greenland. It is now located within Death Valley National Park in Inyo County, California. It is on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>Origin and twenty-mule teams</h2><br>
<p>After discovery of Borax deposits here by Aaron and Rosie Winters in 1881, business associates William Tell Coleman and Francis Marion Smith subsequently obtained claims to these deposits, opening the way for "large-scale" borax mining in Death Valley. Coleman constructed Harmony Borax Works and production of borax started in late 1883. In an effort to save money and achieve greater efficiency, Coleman had unique borax wagons designed to get the product to the closest railhead in Mojave, California. The wagons consisted of two box wagons and a water wagon pulled by a team of twenty animals typically consisting of eighteen mules and two horses. While these methods were in use only for a short period of time, from 1883 to 1889, they gained great notoriety and became famous after the fact thanks to the advertising efforts of Stephen T. Mather, who later became the National Park Service&#39;s first director.</p><br>
<p>During the summer months, when it was too hot to crystallize borax in Death Valley, a smaller borax mining operation shifted to his Amargosa Borax Plant in Amargosa, near the present community of Tecopa, California. The Harmony Works remained under Coleman&#39;s operation until 1888, when his business collapsed.</p><br>
<h2>Frank M. "Borax" Smith</h2><br>
<p>William Coleman&#39;s original holdings in the works were subsequently acquired by Frank M. "Borax" Smith in 1890, to become the Pacific Coast Borax Company with the 20 Mule Team Borax brand. Activity at Harmony Borax Works ceased with the development of the richer Colemanite borax deposits at Borate in the Calico Mountains, where they continued until 1907.</p><br>
<p>The Harmony Borax Works was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on December 31, 1974. They are part of the National Park Service historical site preservation program in Death Valley National Park.</p><br>
<h2>Visiting Harmony Borax Works</h2><br>
<p>As part of Death Valley National Park, the site is generally open to the public and includes a loop trail and educational interpretation.</p><br>
<p>The Fort Early and Jubal Early Monument was started in the early 1900s, and consists of the remains of an American Civil War fort and monument located on a 1.29 acre site at Lynchburg, Virginia. Confederate forces under the command of Lt. Gen. Jubal Early constructed the roughly square earthen fort in June 1864 as part of the outer defenses of Lynchburg as the Union Army of West Virginia, under Maj. Gen. David Hunter, advanced from the north and west in an attempt to capture the city during the Battle of Lynchburg. It is the only section of the Lynchburg defenses still in existence.</p><br>
<p>The walls of the fort are approximately 12 to 15 ft in height on the exterior and approximately 4 to 6 ft high on the interior. Within the fort is a one-story brick structure that was built in 1922 by the Fort Hill Woman&#39;s Club and contains exhibits on the Battle of Lynchburg. A brick paved entrance drive with a 15 ft high iron arch erected in 1924, with the words "Fort Early", cut through the eastern portion of the breastworks and forms the entrance to the site. The remaining portions of the breastworks are intact including a sally port in the northern wall used to bring in ammunition and other supplies during the military operation of the fort. A 17 ft high granite obelisk honoring Confederate General Jubal A. Early and erected in 1919, is located on a triangle of land formed by the intersection of Fort Avenue and Memorial Avenue.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002.</p><br>
<p>The William Phaup House is a historic home located in Lynchburg, Virginia. It is a modest two story, four bay Federal style brick dwelling constructed about 1817. It is named after its architect and original occupant, William Phaup. Very few alterations have been made to the house since its construction.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002. It is located in the Fifth Street Historic District.</p><br>
<p>The Saint Pauls Vestry House is a historic building in Lynchburg, Virginia, United States. It was built about 1855 and is a single-story Classical Revival-style building with a simple low pitched gable roof and a rectangular plan. It is likely the only vestry house built exclusively for the governing body of an Episcopal Church in Virginia. It also served as the first home of the Lynchburg Womans Club from 1903 to 1916.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1997.</p><br>
<p>The Tuolumne Meadows Ranger Station and Comfort Stations are examples of National Park Service Rustic design in Yosemite National Park. They are within the Tuolumne Meadows Historic District at Tuolumne Meadows. The ranger station was built in 1924 using peeled log construction. The ranger station doubled as the park entrance station for the Tioga Road. Its function was partly superseded by a newer structure in 1936, using larger quantities of stonework.</p><br>
<h2>Later structures</h2><br>
<p>Later structures, such as the comfort station or public toilet, was designed by the National Park Service Branch of Plans and Designs and was built by Civilian Conservation Corps labor.</p><br>
<p>Other structures, including bunk houses and mess halls were built in the Tuolumne Meadows Historic District at the same time to similar design standards. The original CCC mess hall, built in 1934, has become the Tuolumne Meadows Visitor Center.</p><br>
<p>The Boulevard Diner is a historic diner at 155 Shrewsbury Street in Worcester, Massachusetts. It was built by Worcester Lunch Car Company in 1936 as #730. It is a well-preserved instance of a barrel-roof diner that the company made in significant numbers in the years before the Second World War, and the city&#39;s best-preserved 1930s diner. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Boulevard Diner is located on Worcester&#39;s east side, on the south side of Shrewsbury Street at its junction with Plum Street. Shrewsbury Street is a major artery running northeast from downtown Worcester to join Massachusetts Route 9. The diner is set on a brick foundation set close to the sidewalk, and has a utilitarian single-story brick kitchen attached to the rear. The diner is eight bays wide and four deep, with entrances at the sides, sheltered by the ends of the barrel roof. The eastern entrance is enclosed in a 1950s steel-and-glass enclosure, and the western entrance is accessed by an enclosed stair; both still have their original wooden doors.

<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>West Village is a primarily residential neighborhood containing 275 single and two-family houses, thirty apartment buildings, and about twenty commercial structures spread over 20 square blocks. The neighborhood is platted in an irregular grid, and includes a number of service alleys and short, narrow cross streets. Buildings are uniformly set back from the curb, and a great number of architectural styles are represented, including frame Queen Anne houses, and Tudor, Colonial Revival, and Mediterranean Revival houses as well as Georgian Revival and Jacobean apartment buildings.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The areas adjacent to Jefferson Avenue were one of the most exclusive residential addresses in turn-of-the-century Detroit. When the area that is now West Village was platted around that time, the incorporation of restrictions regarding structure cost, use, setback, and height ensured that this area too would be popular. Between 1905 and 1925, the neighborhood rapidly filled with upper-middle-class homes, apartment buildings, and row houses. The neighborhood was home to a number of prominent Detroiters including Franz C. Kuhn, Chief Justice of the Michigan Supreme Court, Edwin C. Denby, Secretary of the Navy, Theodore Hinchman, president of the architectural firm of Smith, Hinchman and Grylls, and sculptor Julius Melchers. As in many Detroit neighborhoods, the racial tensions, red lining, and white exodus to the suburbs following World War II led to a decline of the neighborhood. However, the resurgence of nearby Indian Village in the 1970s created a resurgence in interest in the neighborhood. The West Village Association, a neighborhood association, was formed in 1974.</p><br>

The diner is a rare early version of a streetcar-inspired design, and may be the only one of its type in the state. It is 40 ft long and 14 ft deep, with twelve window bays. It has a monitor-style roof with clerestory windows, and entrances at the ends under roof overhangs. The northern entrance now serves as an emergency exit, while the south entrance now serves as the main entrance to the nightclub in the attached building. The interior is exceptionally well-preserved, retaining many of its original finishes.</p><br>
<p>The diner was built by Worcester Lunch Car Company in 1930 for Robert and Mamie Gilhooly of Worcester, who operated it at 414 Grove Street. The neon "G" on the front of the diner stands for Gilhooly. It was first located in the Chadwick Square section of Worcester and was a popular place.</p><br>
<p>Robert Gilhooly died in 1955, after which the diner was purchased by his cousin Mary Ryan Clingen and her husband James Clingen of Cherry Valley. It was then moved near to the Worcester-Leicester line, and was operated at 1546 Main Street by their son-in-law and daughter, Ralph and Eileen Dryden.</p><br>
<p>The diner was later sold to Ralph Moberly and moved to its present location in 1979. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2003.</p><br>
<p>The Southbridge-Sargent Manufacturing District encompasses a collection of three 19th-century factory buildings near a historically important railroad junction in southern Worcester, Massachusetts. They were built near the intersection of Sargent and Gold Streets, just south of Southbridge Street. The location is close to a junction of three major railroads: the Boston and Albany, the Norwich and Worcester, and the New York, New Haven, and Hartford. The area was once a major industrial part of the city, but has lost many of its historic factory buildings in the 20th century.</p><br>
<p>The most significant building in the district is the former Sargent Card-Clothing Factory, 300 Southbridge Street. This Second Empire three story brick structure, built in 1866, is one of the oldest surviving factory buildings in the city. It was built for the Sargent brothers, leading manufacturers of card making machinery, and is built to a plan that was used, with some modifications, for later purpose-built factory buildings in the city.</p><br>
<p>The Rice and Griffin Factory at 5 Sargent Street was built c. 1890. It was originally three stories with a pitched gable roof, but the roof was removed and a fourth floor added. Rice and Griffin was founded in 1866, and was listed at that address from 1872 until 1905. The companys principal business was the production of architectural building parts, and it is probable that their products decorated a significant number of Worcesters Victorian houses.</p><br>
<p>The third factory, at 125 Gold Street, was built c. 1892 for the Whitcomb Manufacturing Company. It is a utilitarian two story brick building. The company began operations in space rented at 5 Sargent Street before building these premises. The company produced metalworking machinery, including planers, shearing and punching tools.</p><br>
<p>The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.</p><br>
<p>The G.A.R. Hall, formerly the Bull Mansion, is a historic Grand Army of the Republic Hall at in Worcester, Massachusetts. It is an ornate Victorian Gothic/Stick style two-story granite structure, designed by noted New York City architect Calvert Vaux. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Worcesters former G.A.R. Hall is located one block west of Main Street in downtown Worcester, on the south side of Pearl Street. It is a large masonry structure, 2-1/2 stories in height, built out of ashlar granite blocks of different colors, and covered by a steeply pitched gabled slate roof. It has applied Stick style woodwork in a number of its gables, and some of its stone window lintels feature carved rosettes. A major addition added in 1912 enlarges the original main block to the southeast. The property is fronted by a fence with granite posts that dates to the buildings initial construction.</p><br>
<p>The structure was built in 1876 as the home of George and Sarah Bull. It was designed by Calvert Vaux and paid for by Daniel B. Wesson, Sarah Bull&#39;s father. George Bull, a young doctor, found the house too expensive to keep, and eventually separated from his wife and moved west. Helen Marble, wife of the next owner, was the daughter of Ethan Allen, who was like Daniel Wesson involved in the manufacture of arms. The building was sold to the local GAR chapter in 1912, with an addition made to it that was designed by Worcester architect Stephen C. Earle. It was eventually turned over to the city as a memorial to all of its war veterans, and has since changed hands and uses several times. It presently houses a restaurant.</p><br>
<p>The Gov. Levi Lincoln House is an historic house at 4 Avalon Place in Worcester, Massachusetts. This Greek Revival house is one of the first of the style to be built in the city; it was built for Levi Lincoln Jr., who had recently ended a long tenure as Governor of Massachusetts, and was designed by noted local architect Elias Carter. Lincoln had this house built as a temporary home to live in while a larger Carter-designed mansion was built nearby, and sold it when the latter was finished. The house was moved to its present location in 1878.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on March 5, 1980.</p><br>
<p>The Frances Perkins Branch Library, formerly known as the Greendale Branch Library, is a branch library in the public library system of Worcester, Massachusetts. It is located at 470 West Boylston Street, in an architecturally distinguished building, funded in part by Andrew Carnegie and built in 1913. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture and history</h2><br>
<p>The library is located on Worcester north side, and is set on the east side of West Boylston Street (Massachusetts Route 12), on the corner of Kendrick Avenue. It is a single story masonry structure, finished in brick with limestone trim. It has a tile hipped roof with modillioned eave. Its main facade has a projecting central pavilion in which the main entrance is set, flanked by Corinthian pilasters and topped by a semicircular pediment.</p><br>
<p>Worcester&#39;s public library was established in 1859, begun with donated collections and initially stored in a central library on Elm Street. In 1895 the city established a delivery point for books at a shop in the Greendale area, an idea that was expanded to other areas after it met with success. After a drive began in 1908 to establish branch libraries, the city received a gift of $75,000 from the steel baron and philanthropist Andrew Carnegie, which was used in the construction of three branches, including this one. It was designed by Lucius W. Briggs, of the L. W. Briggs Company, and was completed in 1913. The branch was renamed in 1994 in honor of Frances Perkins, the first female member of the United States Cabinet and a resident of Worcester during her youth. Perkins served as the United States Secretary of Labor from 1933 to 1945, through the entire presidency of Franklin Delano Roosevelt, leading the department through the Great Depression and World War II.</p><br>
<p>Stevens Building is a historic commercial building located at 24–44 Southbridge Street in downtown Worcester, Massachusetts. It is one of the citys most imposing mid-19th century buildings. The brick building is four stories for most of its length on Southbridge Street, and also presents a finished facade to Burnside Court. The central portion rises to a full five stories with a flat roof, while the north and south sections are four floors with a low pitch roof. The oldest portion of the building was the central portion, built sometime in the 1850s. The Stevens Brothers, manufacturers of wooden architectural building parts, purchased this building c. 1867, extended it northward to Burnside Court, and used it as factory space. By 1870 they had bought the land south of the building, and erected as a freestanding building seven bays of the present building. The two buildings were then joined together later in the 1870s. The fifth floor of the central section was probably added after a fire in the early 1900s.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.</p><br>
