<p>The Hecht Company Warehouse in Washington, D.C. is a Streamline Moderne style building. Designed by engineer Gilbert V. Steel of the New York engineering firm Abbott and Merkt, and prominently located on New York Avenue in Ivy City, it served as the central warehouse for The Hecht Company from its construction in 1937 and expansion in 1948. The building uses glass block extensively, culminating in a twelve-pointed star-shaped cupola at the corner, which is illuminated at night. Black brick interspersed with glass block spells out "The Hecht Co" at the fifth floor.</p><br>
<p>At its opening, the building featured an in-house vehicle repair shop, air conditioning for the basement and first two floors, and three railroad track platforms.</p><br>
<p>A careful rehabilitation was carried out in 1992, using matching materials. The site and surrounding area are currently under redevelopment to turn the building into a mixed-use retail and residential complex called the Hecht Warehouse District.</p><br>
<p>The Lars Petterson-Adolph Carlson Three-Decker is a historic triple decker house in Worcester, Massachusetts. Built c. 1918 by Lars Petterson, a local builder, the house has well-preserved Colonial Revival styling. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Lars Petterson-Adolph Carlson Three-Decker is located in a residential setting in Worcester&#39;s northeastern Greendale neighborhood, on the south side of Fairhaven Road east of Leeds Street. It is a three-story wood-frame structure, with a gabled roof and exterior finished in modern siding. The front facade is asymmetrical, with a stack of porches on the left and a polygonal window bay on the right. Instead of a more typical polygonal side projection, this house has a rectangular projection on the side with a fully pedimented gable. The front porch originally had Tuscan columns (it now has square posts), and bands of wooden shingles between the floors. The gable at the top of the facade is fully pedimented, with a square diamond-light window at its center.</p><br>
<p>The house was built about 1918 by Lars Petterson, a local contractor who built a number of three-deckers in the Greendale area. The area was at that time being heavily developed as a streetcar suburb, its residents working either downtown or in industrial facilities just outside it. The house&#39;s early tenants were primarily Swedish immigrants.</p><br>
<p>The Lars Petterson-Fred Gurney Three-Decker is a historic triple decker house in Worcester, Massachusetts. Built about 1910, it is a good local example of Colonial Revival architecture, built by prominent local builder Lars Petterson. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Lars Petterson-Fred Gurney Three-Decker is located northeast of downtown Worcester, in the Brittan Square neighborhood. It is set on the north side of Harlow Street, between Lincoln and Paine Streets. It is a three-story wood-frame structure, its third floor under a cross-gabled gambrel roof, and its exterior finished mainly in wooden clapboards. The front facade is asymmetrical, with porches on the left, and a polygonal window bay on the right. The porches of the first two floors are supported by square posts with arched peaks between them; the second-story porch has been enclosed in glass. The third-floor porch is set in a round-arch recess under the gambrel roof.</p><br>
<p>The house was built c. 1910 by Lars Petterson, a local builder who developed a number of other properties in Worcester. He retained ownership of this house into the 1920s, when he sold it to Fred Gurney, a superintendent at a wire factory. Early tenants appear to have been employed either at the Norton Company factory in northern Worcester, or in one of the nearby steel and wire factories.</p><br>
<p>The Lars Petterson-Silas Archer Three-Decker is a historic triple decker house in Worcester, Massachusetts. The house was built c. 1920, and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places as a good example of Colonial Revival architecture from that period. Some of those features have subsequently been lost .</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Lars Petterson-Silas Archer Three-Decker is located in a residential area of Worcester&#39;s northeastern Greendale neighborhood, on the south side of Fairhaven Road east of Leeds Street. It is a three-story wood-frame structure, with a gabled roof and exterior clad in modern siding. It retains some Colonial Revival styling, including a fully pedimented gable end, and a three-level porch supported by round columns. The main gable is fully pedimented, with a square diamond-light window at its center. Other details, such as a modillioned and dentillated cornice, and wooden shingle bands between the levels, have been lost or obscured due to the application of modern siding (see photo).</p><br>
<p>The house was built about 1920 by Lars Petterson, a local builder who developed a number of properties in the Greendale area. That area was at the time undergoing intensive development as a streetcar suburb, serving workers employed either downtown or in industrial facilities to its north. Petterson first used the property for rental units, leasing to workers at the Norton Company plant and other north Worcester industrial businesses.</p><br>
<p>The Lars Petterson-James Reidy Three-Decker is a historic triple decker house in Worcester, Massachusetts. The house was built c. 1910 by Lars Petterson, a local builder who developed several other Worcester properties. When the house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990, its Colonial Revival detailing was cited, including square posts supporting the porches and a modillioned cornice. Some of these details have been lost or covered over by subsequent exterior alterations .</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Lars Petterson-James Reidy Three-Decker is located northeast of downtown Worcester, in the Brittan Square neighborhood. It is set on the north side of Harlow Street, between Lincoln and Paine Streets. It is a three-story wood-frame structure, its third floor under a cross-gabled gambrel roof, and its exterior finished in modern siding. The front facade is asymmetrical, with porches on the left, and a polygonal window bay on the right. The porches of the first two floors have plain square posts and simple modern. When surveyed for the National Register in the 1980s, the porch had square posts with simple capitals, and balustrades with turned balusters. Its main roof eave was modillioned, and it had a third-floor porch set recessed in an arch.</p><br>
<p>The house was built c. 1910 by Lars Petterson, a local builder who developed a number of other properties in Worcester. He retained ownership of this house into the 1920s, when he sold it to James Reidy, an electrician who also lived here. Early tenants appear to have been employed either at the Norton Company factory in northern Worcester, or in one of the nearby steel and wire factories.</p><br>
<p>The Philip Duke Three-Decker is a historic triple decker house in Worcester, Massachusetts. Built c. 1888, the house is an early representative of triple-decker development in the Vernon Hill area of southern Worcester. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990, but has lost some of the architectural elements important to its listing since then.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Philip Duke Three-Decker stands in the southern Worcester residential area called Vernon Hill, on the east side of Maxwell Street at its junction with Maxwell Court. It is a three-story wood-frame structure, with a hip roof and exterior finished in synthetic siding. A single-story porch extends across its three-bay front facade, supported by square posts. At the time of its National Register listing, it was more elaborately finished, with Italianate brackets in the eaves, turned porch posts with brackets at the top, and rope moulding on the window headers of the front facade. These have been lost or obscured by subsequent exterior residing (see photo).</p><br>
<p>The house was built about 1888, a relatively early date in the development of triple deckers as features of residential development in southern Worcester. Almost all of the early residents of the building were laborers who were likely employed in the steel plants and factories of southern Worcester. This trend continued into the mid-20th century, although the city&#39;s 1930 census lists one resident as a chauffeur.</p><br>
<p>Mount Feake Cemetery is a historic cemetery at 203 Prospect Street in Waltham, Massachusetts.</p><br>
<h2>Overview</h2><br>
<p>Established in 1857, it is the city&#39;s second cemetery, after Grove Hill Cemetery, and is one of the best-preserved garden cemeteries in the state. It takes its name from its highest point, Mount Feake, which was named by Governor John Winthrop in 1632 for his future nephew-in-law, Robert Feake, one of the founding settlers of Watertown, Massachusetts. The cemetery was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.</p><br>
<p>Mount Feake Cemetery was designed by Robert Morris Copeland, and was from its inception compared to the older Mount Auburn Cemetery in Cambridge. It stands on a somewhat rugged parcel of land that rises above the Charles River across from the Waltham Watch Company complex. A series of winding lanes, designed to complement the terrain, provide access to all parts of the cemetery. Most of the grave markers are made of granite, although marble and limestone are also well-represented.</p><br>
<p>One unusual item once added some romantic charm to the cemetery. The remains of a brick water pumping station, built in 1872 and enlarged in 1896-97, stood on the grounds of the cemetery, and provided a picturesque ruin to the environment. Adjacent to this building stood two Italianate houses, as well as a carriage house and sheds, that were historically associated with the pumping station. All of these buildings were demolished, probably in the late 20th century.</p><br>

<p>Forother monuments with the same nameSoldiers and Sailors Monument </p><br>
<p>The Soldiers and Sailors Monument is a 43 ft tall Gothic Revival memorial which stands in Penn Square in downtown Lancaster, Pennsylvania. It was dedicated on July 4, 1874, at its present site on the Northeast intersection of King and Queen Streets. The monument&#39;s original intention was to pay tribute to Lancastrian Union soldiers killed during the American Civil War. However, today the Soldiers and Sailors Monument also represents those who have served in subsequent American military conflicts.</p><br>
<p>The 1744 Treaty of Lancaster between the British and Iroquois was signed in the old Lancaster courthouse which stood on the site of the monument at the time.</p><br>
<p>The Soldiers and Sailors Monument also stands on the exact spot where the Second Continental Congress met during the American Revolutionary War on September 27, 1777, in the old Lancaster Courthouse. The courthouse was built in 1739 but later burned down in 1784, rebuilt 1787 to serve as State House from 1799 to 1812 and reverting as Lancaster County Courthouse until 1852.</p><br>
<p>The monument has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since April 2, 1973.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Lancaster Soldiers and Sailors Monument features a 43 ft tall Rhode Island, rectangular granite pillar topped with a statue of a robed woman on a pedestal known as the "Genius of Liberty". The Genius of Liberty holds a drawn sword and a shield. Her head is crowned with stars. She faces north which, according to legend, allows her to turn her back on the former Confederate States of America, which were defeated in the war.</p><br>
<p>Statues of four men representing the four branches of the American armed services surround the granite shaft near its base. The four branches represented by the men are the United States Navy, United States Army, Artillery and the United States Cavalry.</p><br>
<p>The names of several Civil War battles are carved on the monuments central granite pillar, as the memorials original intent was to honor those killed in that particular war. The inscriptions include the Battle of Antietam, the Battle of Chickamauga, the Battle of Gettysburg, the Battle of Malvern Hill, the Siege of Petersburg and the Battle of the Wilderness.</p><br>
<p>Several bronze plaques have been added to the Soldiers and Sailors Monument since its construction, memorializing members of the American armed forces. One plaque specifically commemorates the role of African Americans in the military. Other separate plaques honor those killed in World War I, World War II, the Korean War, Vietnam War and the Persian Gulf War.</p><br>
<p>The base of the Soldiers and Sailors Monument is carved with the inscription, "Erected by the people of Lancaster County/ To the memory of their fellow citizens who fell /in defense of the Union /in the War of the Rebellion /1861&ndash;1865"</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The idea for a memorial to Lancastrian Union soldiers killed during the American Civil War was conceived soon after the end of hostilities in 1865. The Patriot Daughters of Lancaster held a ladies fundraising fair sale in December 1867 at the nearby Fulton Hall, now called the Fulton Opera House, to help finance the construction of the proposed monument. The remaining funds for the monument&#39;s construction were raised through either military taxes and funds released by the Lancaster County Treasury or through private donations. The total cost of the Soldiers and Sailors Monument is believed to be $26,000 at the time.</p><br>
<p>Centre Square, as the present-day Penn Square was called at the time, It was formally unveiled and dedicated on July 4, 1874, and was originally surrounded by stockade fencing and dirt streets at the time. President Ulysses S. Grant sent his regrets for being unable to attend the ceremony. The large crowd which watched the dedication included Civil War veterans and a group of girls from the Mount Joy Soldiers Orphan Home. The Soldiers and Sailors Monument was officially dedicated at 1:00 pm while the girls from the orphanage sang My Father&#39;s Grave. The Genius of Liberty on top of the monument was draped in an American flag.</p><br>
<p>Rosina Hubley, who had led the efforts to construct the Soldiers and Sailors Monument, remarked on July 4, 1874, that she believed it would be a "perpetual reminder to all people of the country as they gather week-to-week to barter and chaffer in the market place, that there is something higher and better than self or produce, bargains or bank notes."</p><br>
<p>An iron fence and granite wall enclosure were added to the monument in 1877, replacing the original picket fence. The monument was sandblasted and cleaned in both 1905 and 1924. A plaque containing the Gettysburg Address and a picture of Abraham Lincoln were added on June 8, 1931. New lights were placed on the monument in 1956, 1972 and again in the early 2000s.</p><br>
<p>A proposal was floated during the 1950s to relocate the monument to an alternative site in a city park in order to ease traffic congestion in downtown Lancaster. However, the relocation idea was abandoned and the memorial remained at its original location.</p><br>
<p>Traffic passed around all four sides of the monument until the 1970s. A new traffic pattern was devised for Penn Square and the monument in 1972. A brick plaza was constructed in tandem with the expansion of the nearby Fulton Bank building, closing off traffic on the monuments northeast corner and opening it to pedestrians. The size of the monuments base was shrunk from its original 35 ft down to 17 ft as part of the reroute of traffic. The iron railing, added in 1877, was removed and new granite curbing was added to protect the monument from traffic collisions.</p><br>
<p>On November 12, 1978, a woman committed suicide by crashing her car into the monument, causing damage to the sailor statue, which represents the United States Navy. The sailor statue&#39;s base and legs were repaired using cement.</p><br>
<p>The new $170 million, 200,000 ft&sup2; Lancaster County Convention Center and 300 room Marriott Hotel opened directly across the street from the monument on April 21, 2009. The historic Lancaster Central Market, constructed in 1889, and the W. W. Griest Building stand just to the northwest.</p><br>
<p>Bermuda Hill, also known as the Liver House, is a historic plantation house in Hale County, Alabama, near Prairieville, Alabama. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on July 7, 1994, as a part of the Plantation Houses of the Alabama Canebrake and Their Associated Outbuildings Multiple Property Submission.</p><br>
<p>The vernacular Greek Revival structure that exists today is an example of the I-house form, with an earlier two-story log dogtrot house incorporated within its weather-boarded exterior. The Manning family first owned the property. The Mannings were early settlers and planters in Prairieville and owned large land tracts in the original French grants of the Vine and Olive Colony. In 1845, William W. Manning sold the land to William Weeden of Madison County. It is unclear whether Manning or Weeden built the house. It had been acquired by Dr. James Daniel Browder, owner of nearby Hawthorne by the time of the Confederate-era Assessment of Taxes on Real Estate in Marengo County for 1863. Bermuda Hill has had some alterations over time, one of which was the removal of the second floor balcony under the portico. It was placed on Alabama&#39;s Places in Peril in 2011, but new owners purchased the home and completed a full restoration in 2013.</p><br>

<p>The Alden Park Towers consists of a compound of four eight-story luxury apartment buildings located at 8100 East Jefferson Avenue along the Gold Coast in Detroit, Michigan. It is currently known as Alden Towers. The collective of structures was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>Alden Park Towers consists of four eight-story buildings built from red brick with stone trim. The buildings are interconnected at the first story; this level formerly housed commercial services such as grocery store and laundry. The exterior is highly ornamented, with projecting bay windows extending from the ground to the roof.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Alden Park Towers were built in 1922 as the Berman Apartments. They were built south of Jefferson to take advantage of the natural beauty of the Detroit River. They were one of the few large apartment buildings built in Detroit.</p><br>
<p>Triton Properties acquired the historic Alden Park Towers property, located on Detroits Gold Coast (the East Jefferson riverfront) in 2012, out of foreclosure for $2 million in August 2012, and began a $5 million plus renovation of all 382 apartment units in the four towers. The project included renovation of common area, including a brand-new grand lobby with a large fireplace as the focal point, and a new fitness center with all-new equipment and flatscreen TVs. The entire building is outfitted with free Wi-Fi. The grand lobby, designed with assistance from Sharon Carlile of Royal Oaks Italmoda, mimics the lobby of a modern boutique hotel. Additionally, major renovation to the property&#39;s riverfront was undertaken. Renovation work was completed in the first quarter 2015.</p><br>
<p>Alden Park Manor is a living community located in the Germantown neighborhood of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in the United States.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Built in the Jacobean Revival style, Alden Park Manor was founded and built in 1926. The complex has three sets of towers - the Manor, Kenilworth, and Cambridge buildings. Designed by Edwin Rorke and developed by Lawrence Jones, it was built in a park-like setting on thirty-eight acres that had been the Justus C. Strawbridge estate. It was the first co-operative apartment complex in Philadelphia, although it now operates only as rentals.</p><br>
<p>The complex overlooks the Wissahickon Valley section of Fairmount Park in the city&#39;s Germantown section. The buildings are surrounded by lawns and gardens, a rarity in the fairly urban setting. The complex features a unique indoor swimming pool which is lined with Mercer tiles and has a retractable roof. Alden Park was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980 and on the Philadelphia Register of Historic Places in 1981. In the fall of 2015, a private firm bought the property for $59 million and began restorations.</p><br>

<p>Fort Martin Scott is a restored United States Army outpost near Fredericksburg in the Texas Hill Country, United States, that was active from December 5, 1848, until April, 1853. It was part of a line of frontier forts established to protect travelers and settlers within Texas.</p><br>
<h2>Establishment</h2><br>
<p>A line of seven army posts was established in 1848–49 after the Mexican War to protect the settlers of West Texas; it included Fort Worth, Fort Graham, Fort Gates, Fort Croghan, Fort Martin Scott, Fort Lincoln, and Fort Duncan.</p><br>
<p>The fort was originally established as Camp Houston when D Company, 1st Regiment of Infantry commanded by Captain Seth Eastman arrived from Fort Snelling, Minnesota Territory, on December 5, 1848. Company D was ordered to a camp on the Leona, departing in March 1849 and arriving on the 24th. Company I, 8th Regiment of Infantry arrived in the Fredericksburg area on March 8. Whether they met with Company D is unknown. The encampment was then called Camp Chadbourne, and Companies D, F, and K of the 8th Infantry arrived on March 25. Companies D, F, and I departed the area en route to Austin on May 30, leaving K Company in place. The post was then called "Camp near Fredericksburg". On July 17, Company B, 2nd Regiment of Dragoons arrived on site. These two companies shared the post for some time.</p><br>
<p>The camp was located 2 miles (3 km) southeast of Fredericksburg on Baron&#39;s Creek, and eventually consisted of a complex of 21 buildings. The soldiers patrolled the Fredericksburg-San Antonio road and surrounding area. One mission of the outpost was to protect settlers from Indian depredations.</p><br>
<p>The Eighth Military Department renamed the camp in December 1849 for Major Martin Scott, who was killed at the Battle of Molino del Rey in the Mexican War in 1847. As the settlers pushed farther west, Fort Martin Scott lost its strategic significance. The 2nd Dragoons were ordered to do a major scouting expedition in the spring of 1851. Company B was relieved of duty to Fort Martin Scott on May 1. When the regiment finished the scouting trip, Company B and Company A met and established Fort Mason on the site of present-day Mason, Texas. Company K, 8th Infantry continued to occupy Fort Martin Scott until February 1852. The company left Fort Martin Scott on February 15, along with other 8th Infantry units that had recently arrived. A small detachment was left behind in charge of the public property.</p><br>
<p>Under the control of the detachment, the site was used for storage, supplies, etc. On January 7, 1853, Company G, 8th Infantry left Ft Chadbourne in charge of animals captured from the Lipan Apache to be delivered to Fort Martin Scott, arriving on January 31. They returned to Fort Chadbourne in March. In 1853, Army inspectors recommended that the fort be closed. The last monthly return for the fort was November 1853. The Eighth Military Department ordered that Fort Martin Scott close in December 1853.</p><br>
<h3>Treaties</h3><br>
<h4>Meusebach treaty</h4><br>
<p>The full text of this treaty can be found at Meusebach–Comanche Treaty.</p><br>
<p>On May 9, 1847, prior to the establishment of Fort Martin Scott, an expedition under John O. Meusebach negotiated the nongovernmental Treaty Between the Comanche and the German Immigration Company. The treaty was limited to the specific area between the Llano River and the San Saba River, and only addressed the relations between the Penateka Comanche and the immigrants who came under the aegis of the German Immigration Company.</p><br>
<h4>Fort Martin Scott treaty</h4><br>
<p>The full text of the treaty can be found at Fort Martin Scott Treaty.</p><br>
<p>The Fort Martin Scott Treaty was an unratified treaty, negotiated and signed on December 10, 1850, by Indian agent John Rollins, U. S. Army Captain Hamilton W. Merrill, Captain J.B. McGown of the Texas Mounted Volunteers (Texas Rangers), and interpreters John Connor and Jesse Chisholm, as well as 12 Comanche chiefs, six Caddo chiefs, four Lipan chiefs, five Quapaw chiefs, four Tawakoni chiefs, and four Waco chiefs. The treaty was actually signed in San Saba County, but named for the nearest military outpost. On December 25, 1850, General George M. Brooke sent a copy of the treaty to Texas Governor Peter Hansborough Bell, mentioning the treaty had not been approved by the government and was essentially binding only on the part of the Indian tribes.</p><br>
<p>This treaty put the signed tribes under the sole jurisdiction of the United States of America. It regulated commerce and prohibited supplying alcoholic beverages to the tribes. The tribes were required to remain at peace with each other and the United States government, and to be at peace with other tribes the government deemed at peace. The tribes were to return all stolen property and captives and to cease depredations. The government made it tribal responsibility to report any suspected activity that might violate the treaty, and to assist the government in recovering runaway slaves. In return, the government would establish trading posts and give the tribes blacksmiths and school teachers. The treaty also required the tribes to allow Christian preachers to minister to them, and to allow said preachers unrestrained travel through tribal territory.</p><br>

<h3>Braeutigam family</h3><br>
<p>Johann Wolfgang Braeutigam (1829–1884) emigrated with his family from Kaltenlengsfeld, Germany, and arrived at Indianola on Dec 1845. Johann, his wife Christine, and their nine children eventually settled in Fredericksburg. In 1870, the family moved into the abandoned Fort Martin Scott, from which Braeutigam operated a Biergarten. On September 3, 1884, Braeutigam was murdered by four strangers in a robbery of the biergarten&#39;s cash box.</p><br>
<h2>Historical site</h2><br>
<p>Fort Martin Scott was designated a Recorded Texas Historic Landmark in 1936, marker number 10039, and added to the National Register of Historic Places in Texas on January 20, 1980.

<p>Roman Catholic services began Southbridge in 1840, serving a diversity of ethnicities drawn to jobs at the Hamilton Woolen Company mills. This church was built in 1853 to serve this growing Roman Catholic population. In 1870 a new parish church was built for the French Canadian Catholics, and this building was moved so that a new church could be built for the remaining congregants. At that time the parish was renamed from St. Peters to St. Marys, and this building was then adapted for use as a parish school.

<p>The Detroit Naval Armory is located at 7600 East Jefferson Avenue in Detroit, Michigan. It is also known as the R. Thornton Brodhead Armory. The armory was designated a Michigan State Historic Site in 1980 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1994.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Detroit Naval Armory is a limestone structure with four main sections: a vestibule, a drill hall, an office / penthouse section, and a company drill hall. by artists including John Tabaczuk, Edgar Yaeger, David Fredenthal and Gustave Hildebrand.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In the 1880s, several states formed "naval militias", the forerunners of present-day Navy and Marine Corps Reserve units. Michigan formed the Michigan Naval Militia in 1893; the militia quickly became a popular pastime for wealthy Detroiters. Even so, the militia fought in both the Spanish–American War and World War I. The state of Michigan and the city of Detroit pooled $375,000 to build a new armory on Jefferson near the foot of the Belle Isle bridge.</p><br>
<p>The new armory opened in 1930, and was used as both a training facility and civic event site. The indoor drill floor was used for dances, USO mixers, auto shows, and political and sporting events. In 1932, future heavyweight champion Joe Louis fought his first career bout. Between May 1936 and 1939, improvements were made to the facility by the Works Progress Administration, a New Deal agency that provided employment and created public works projects throughout the United States during the Great Depression. The extensive remodeling and expansion project included a basement motorpool and gymnasium; enlargement of the third floor, to add an officer&#39;s wardroom, mess hall and kitchen; and a fourth-floor penthouse wing to accommodate visiting officers.</p><br>
<p>The WPA also funded numerous Federal Art Project contributions to the armory between 1936 and 1941. Captain Brodhead and architect William Stratton accepted a proposal by artist David Fredenthal and reconfigured an entire wall in the wardroom to include bookshelves and a fireplace. Fredenthal and his assistants then created a mural in five panels, in true fresco, depicting the range of experiences on shipboard. He also created a smaller mural in the adjacent bar area. A mural on the four walls of the mess hall was painted by Edgar Yaeger; one of his assistants, John Tabaczuk, carved some 20 insets for wooden doors in the building, as well as a fanciful bannister on the stairway to the penthouse. Gustave Hildebrand, assisted by James Johnson, incised plaster on the four walls at the main east entrance to create 800 feet of bas relief depicting the everyday activities of sailors. This collection of WPA art is the largest collection of federally funded Depression-era artwork of any building in the state; one authority stated that the Detroit Naval Armory contains "the richest WPA art collection of any building in Michigan, with the greatest variety of different media in one collection."</p><br>
<p>During World War II, the armory was used as a barracks and schoolhouse for Navy diesel and electrical schools. After the war ended, it was again used as a training center for reservists.</p><br>
<p>The armory was eventually renamed the R. Thornton Brodhead Armory, in memory of its first Naval leader. As of 2008, plans were to refurbish the armory to include bowling, fitness and youth boxing club facilities. In 2021, the City of Detroit sold the armory to The Parade Co., the organization responsible for Detroit&#39;s Thanksgiving Day Parade.</p><br>
