<p>White House Farm is a historic home located at Kennedyville, Kent County, Maryland, United States. The oldest section of the -story stuccoed brick house was built in 1721. The house is located on an elevated site, within an informally landscaped yard which retains evidence of historic terracing. Also on the property is a late-19th-century brick dairy.</p><br>
<p>White House Farm was built in 1721 by Daniel Perkins who was a miller and stone cutter, newly arrived from New Hampshire. He arrived in Kent County in 1710 and obtained the milling rights to dam the West branch of Morgan Creek. Remnants of this dam are still visible from Rt 213. He not only built a small house there with the flour mill but also a sawmill and a fulling mill. After acquiring more property in 1720, he began building the larger brick home up on the hill for his family, overlooking his mills.</p><br>
<p>The White House Farm was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.</p><br>

<p>The E. Clarke and Julia Arnold House is a Frank Lloyd Wright designed Usonian home in Columbus, Wisconsin, United States.</p><br>
<p>The Arnold house occupies a large site on the west edge of the city of Columbus and overlooks the farmlands to the west. It was built in 1955-1956 for E. Clarke Arnold, a successful Columbus attorney, his wife, Julia, and their growing family, from a design supplied by Frank Lloyd Wright. The Arnolds, like so many of Wright&#39;s clients, came to him for a house of their own after seeing a house he had designed for friends, in this case, for Patrick and Margaret Kinney, whose stone-clad Lancaster, Wisconsin house Wright designed in 1951.</p><br>
<p>This low one-story home is built of Wisconsin limestone, redwood board and batten, and glass. It is one of Wright&#39;s diamond module homes, a form he used in the Patrick and Margaret Kinney House, the Richard Smith House and a number of other homes he designed in the late 1940s and early 1950s. In this design, all the angles are either 60°or 120°, forming equilateral parallelogram modules having 4 ft sides. It was originally built with two wings set at 120° angles which gave the house a V-shaped plan with a living room wing, a bedroom wing, and a central core that contained the fireplace mass, kitchen, and utilities. This home featured a twist on the usual Usonian color scheme with Golden ocher floors instead of the signature "Cherokee Red."</p><br>
<p>Within three years of completion, the arrival of twins necessitated the construction of a second bedroom wing. Wright approved this wing in 1959 and the plans were in preparation when he died in April of that year. Wright apprentice and Taliesin Fellow John H. "Jack" Howe drafted a second, partly revised design, which established the final Y-shaped plan of the house.</p><br>
<p>The Sergeant First Class John H. Newnam Armory, also known as the Chestertown Armory, is a former National Guard armory built in 1931 and located in Chestertown, Kent County, Maryland, United States. From 1932 until 2005 it housed various formations from the Maryland Army National Guard. It also was the home of sporting and community events.</p><br>
<p>After the 115th Infantry Regiment was merged into the 175th Infantry Regiment in 2005, the armory was declared to be surplus by the state of Maryland. The building was transferred to Washington College in 2013. In 2024, the Chestertown Historic District Commission approved the college&#39;s plan to partly demolish the armory. Chestertown Armory is to be replaced by a hotel and conference center.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>It is a two-story brick structure with a full basement that emulates a medieval fortification. The front facade features an entryway flanked by simple two-story towers, which are topped by small square stone panels.</p><br>
<h2>Planning and construction</h2><br>
<p>On June 19, 1920, a 22-member "sanitary unit" was recruited in Chestertown, Maryland by Henry A. Mitchel with Frank B. Hines as the commanding officer. A group of local businessmen lobbied Maryland to build an armory to house the unit starting in 1927. Their efforts were fruitful; the Maryland General Assembly appropriated $50,000 of bond money for the construction of the armory in 1929, and the Maryland Military Department purchased a lot along the Chester River in 1930.</p><br>
<p>Construction of the armory did not start in 1930 due to a "delay in securing plans". On August 16, 1931, Maryland announced that Carl Schmidt won the contract to erect the structure with a bid of $47,000. The contract specified that the building needed to be built of brick and finished in 90 working days. Construction finished in April 1932 with the dedication in May. The ceremony featured speeches from Milton Reckord, Adjutant General of Maryland, D. John Markey, commander of the First Maryland Infantry, and Hines. Afterwards, the unit held an "exhibition drill", a concert and a community dance in their new armory.</p><br>
<h2>National Guard use</h2><br>
<p>From 1932 until 2005, The Chestertown Armory was home to various formations from the Maryland Army National Guard. In addition to its military uses, the armory became a hub for Chestertown and Washington College. From 1934 until the 1950s, it was the home court for the Washington College Men&#39;s Basketball team. It also hosted concerts and community events.</p><br>
<p>The armory was accepted in February 1932, and it became the home of the Chestertown Medical Detachment of the First Maryland Infantry Regiment. They remained stationed at the armory until 1941 when the First Maryland Infantry Regiment and Fifth Maryland Infantry Regiment were merged to create the 115th Infantry Regiment. In 1947, Company G of the 115th Infantry Regiment was raised at armory. It would remain the unit stationed at the armory until 1968 when the 29th Infantry Division was deactivated and the armory was transferred to the 175th Infantry Regiment.</p><br>
<p>When the 29th Infantry Division was resurrected in 1984, the armory was slated to receive a $500,000 renovation to become the headquarters of the 2nd Battalion of the 115th Infantry Regiment. Instead, it received a addition costing $1 million. The next year, The Chestertown Armory was listed on the National Register of Historic Places On August 11, 1999, the building was renamed in honor of John H. Newnam, a Chestertown resident who landed on Omaha Beach on D-Day. Due to consolidation, the armory was closed and declared surplus in 2005 when the 115th Infantry Regiment was merged into the 175th Infantry Regiment.</p><br>
<h2>Transfer and Washington College ownership</h2><br>
<p>After the departure of the Maryland National Guard from the armory, there was much discussion over what should be done with the building. In 2007, two proposals emerged: one by Washington College and the other by the local homeless shelter. By the end of the year, a consortium of local businesses and the college put forth a proposal to pay the costs of Kent County buying the site.</p><br>
<p>In 2013, the Chestertown Armory was transferred to Washington College. The structure continues to sit vacant. In 2019, What&#39;s Up? Magazine reported that the college was investigating the possibility of turning it into a bed and breakfast.</p><br>
<p>In 2022, two firms conducted environmental studies of the building showing extensive mold in the building that would make remediation unfeasible. Based on the studies, the college petitioned to demolish the armory and build a hotel and conference center in its place. The Chestertown Council and the Historic District Commission approved the application in October. A month later, permission was revoked because the 25 day public review period was skipped.</p><br>
<p>Washington College resubmitted their application to partially raise the armory, and it was approved by the Historic District Commission on May 1, 2024. A lawsuit by 3 historic district residents to block the demolition was dismissed on September 5 due to lack of standing. Preservation listed the Chestertown Armory as a "Threatened" in its Winter 2024 issue.</p><br>
<p>Designed by Frank Lloyd Wright in 1953 and completed in 1954, the John and Syd Dobkins House is one of three Wright-designed Usonian houses in Canton, Ohio, United States. Located farther east than the Nathan Rubin Residence and the Ellis A. Feiman House, it is set back from the road. It&#39;s a modest sized home with two bedrooms, and one and a half baths. Its distinctive geometric design module is based upon an equilateral triangle . The mortar in the deep red bricks was deeply raked to emphasize the horizontal. </p><br>
<p>Construction was supervised by Allan J. Gelbin, a Wright apprentice the architect sent from the Taliesin Fellowship. Gelbin acted as construction supervisor and contractor on this building as well as the two other buildings in Canton (the Rubin and Feiman houses). (Storrer: 388) The Gelbin house was built on a five-acre parcel that was once a cornfield. Along with a design for the house, Wright created an ingenious planting plan for the property which featured 14 pin oak trees planted in perfect relation to the structure.</p><br>
<p>The home was purchased and restored by current homeowners, Dan and Dianne Chrzanowski.</p><br>
<p>Chestertown is a historic railway station built in 1902–03 for the Pennsylvania Railroad and located in Chestertown, Kent County, Maryland. It is a -story, 17 by Queen Anne–style building. It features a hip roof with a wide bracketed overhang that provided shelter for train passengers on all four sides.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982 as the Chestertown Railroad Station.</p><br>
<p>The Radcliffe Mill is a historic grist mill and related structures located in Chestertown, Kent County, Maryland, United States. It consists of a Mill Building, built in 1891; Grain Elevator, probably constructed around 1924; and Annex / Seed House. The complex is historically significant for its association with the development of agriculture and the associated grist milling industry in Kent County. The present complex occupies land along Radcliffe Creek that has been associated with milling for about 300 years. A mill operated in this approximate location from 1694 until 1997.</p><br>
<p>The Radcliffe Mill was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2006.</p><br>
<p>Pulaski County Bridge No. 31  is a Stearns truss bridge originally built in 1905 in Pulaski County in the USA state of Indiana. In 2006, it was disassembled at its location over Big Monon Ditch, near Medaryville in Pulaski County, and moved to the Wabash and Erie Canal park in Delphi in Carroll County, Indiana. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places  in 2003, thanks to the efforts of a local Boy Scout. It is believed to be the last surviving Stearns Truss Bridge in the United States.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The bridge was erected over the Big Monon Ditch in 1905 by the Winamac Bridge Company. It was designed by William E. Stearns, and is the only Stearns Truss Bridge known left in existence in the United States. A unique feature of the bridge is that it was designed to be easily moved. Various connecting points were made to easily pivot into and out of place, and the caissons were made to be loaded and unloaded with ballast to anchor the structure in place. This allowed the bridge to carry a much greater load as a function of its weight.</p><br>
<p>It was placed on the National Register as part of an Eagle Scout project by Bradley Nielsen, who began the effort in 2002. The bridge and the road it served sat on farm property owned by his grandparents, and had been abandoned for some time. With the assistance of the Pulaski County Historical society, Nielsen researched the bridge&#39;s history and construction, and filled out the application to place the structure on the NRHP. In 2003 the bridge was placed on the Register as "Pulaski County Bridge No. 31".</p><br>
<p>The bridge was owned by the county, and in 2005 when the contracts were let to clean the Big Monon Ditch the bridge was in the way of the dredging equipment. The commissioners discussed demolishing the bridge, and it was decided that removal of the bridge was necessary.</p><br>
<p>A group of concerned historians involved with the Wabash and Erie Canal Park in Delphi came to the bridge&#39;s rescue. In December, 2005, the Pulaski County commissioners sold the bridge for $10 to the Delphi group. They moved the bridge to Delphi, and over the past several years—with assistance from various funding agencies—have rebuilt the structure. It was dedicated on November 11, 2007 as a featured element of the interpretive park, known as the "Blue Bridge". It was subsequently removed from the National Register in 2014.</p><br>
<p>The Mallon/Minkert building, at the northeast corner of Montgomery and Bill streets in Francesville, Indiana was built by local businessman in 1899. It replaced a frame structure on the same site, built in 1872, which burned. Mallon came to Francesville from Morgan County, Indiana in 1865, and in 1868 began to clerk with Samuel Reishling, who is credited as having begun the second-ever business in the town. A few years later Mallon struck out on his own, and says of him, "He is probably doing the leading business of this town." It was built in 1899, and is a two-story, rectangular brick building measuring 40 feet wide and 80 feet deep.</p><br>
<p>After Mallon&#39;s death in 1915 the store was taken over by his son Cecil, who operated it until 1949, 77 years of continuous business under the ownership of father and son.</p><br>
<p>The store had an extremely close call in December, 1945, when a massive fire enveloped the block of buildings to its immediate east, on a bitterly cold night. Francesville historian Alyce Onken remembers standing on the street during the fire looking at the building, thinking, "It&#39;s gone for sure." Miraculously, despite the near-total destruction of its neighbors, the building survived with only minor damage. A careful eye will note a cosmetic repair to the east wall as the only reminder of the calamity.</p><br>
<p>Many current residents of the town remember the store under the tenure of its second owners, Oscar and Jean Minkert. They came from North Judson to open Minkerts Dry Goods and Variety Store in 1949. Until Oscars death in 1992 it retained the same old-fashioned look and feel of its predecessor, as well some of its longstanding stock of dry goods and merchandise. To visit Minkert&#39;s was to take a trip through time to a now-lost era in American retailing, with high ceilings, narrow aisles, hand-crafted wooden display cases, and husband-and-wife proprietors who knew their customers as friends.</p><br>
<p>After Minkert died the building was purchased by Edison and Chrisann Gutwein, who moved their insurance business from a smaller building on Bill Street into the two-story structure. It was during their tenure that Mrs. Gutwein took an interest in the building&#39;s history, and she supervised its restoration back to the genteel beauty of its turn-of-the century provenance. She also did the research that in 1999 led to its addition to the National Register of Historic Places, one of the few structures in the county so far to achieve that designation.</p><br>
<p>In 2002 the building and insurance business were sold to Dennis and Kitty Gutwein, the fourth, and current, owners. The building is used for multiple commercial purposes.</p><br>
<p>The Mallon/Minkert building is almost completely intact and original, and is a notable historical asset.</p><br>
<p>Christ Church, Graveyard and Sextons House is an historic Episcopal church complex located at Worton, Kent County, Maryland. The church, also known as Christ Church IU, is a small brick structure, basilican in plan, with a narrower sanctuary appended. It was built in 1765  to serve as the parish church of Chester Parish which had been established that same year. It is a well-proportioned example of a small Gothic Revival structure interpreted in brick. The Sextons house dates from the period of the earlier church and consists of two adjoining sections, one brick and one stone, both one story high with dormers.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.</p><br>
<p>In 1835, the church sold part of its lands adjacent to the highway to the town&#39;s United Methodist church for its graveyard.</p><br>
<p>Shrewsbury Church is a historic Episcopal church located at Kennedyville, Kent County, Maryland, United States. It is a rural parish church constructed in 1834, and remodeled to its present vernacular Gothic-influenced appearance in 1890. The church is constructed of brick and features a three-stage buttressed and crenelated tower at the entrance, a low one-story chancel, and Gothic influenced walnut furnishings. South Sassafras Parish, as it was originally known, was one of the original 30 Anglican parishes in the Province of Maryland. Buried in the churchyard is John Cadwalader, a general of the American Revolutionary War.</p><br>
<p>Shrewsbury Church was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.</p><br>
<p>St. Pauls Church is an historic Episcopal church located near the village of Fairlee, southwest of Chestertown, Kent County, Maryland. St. Pauls Church is one of the original thirty parishes created in 1692 by an Act of the General Assembly declaring the Church of England as the established religion of the Province of Maryland. The Georgian-styled building, completed in 1713, is the second-oldest Episcopal church on the Eastern Shore of Maryland .</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>St. Paul&#39;s Parish was laid out according to an Act of the General Assembly in 1692. The parish vestry, consisting of Thomas Smith, Charles Tilden, William Frisby, Michael Miller, Hans Hanson, and Simon Wilmer, convened for the first time on January 30, 1693 and set out parameters for the construction of the first parish church. The church was built by Daniel Norris at a cost of twenty-one thousand pounds of tobacco and completed by 1696.</p><br>
<p>In 1711, upon the appointment of Rev. Alexander Williamson as Rector of St. Pauls Parish, the vestry made a contract with James Harris to construct a new brick church for the parish, to be "40 feet long in the clear and 20 feet wide in the clear, to be 16 feet from the ground, 5 windows, 2 doors and cases, the brick wall to be 2 1/2 bricks thick to the water table and 2 bricks thick from thence upward, a circle to be at the east end for the communion." The cost for the new church was seventy thousand pounds of tobacco and construction took two years to complete. On April 6, 1713, James Harris delivered the new St. Pauls Church to the parish vestry. Over the next two years, the interior of the building was plastered and fitted with thirty-four pews, a pulpit, reading desk, and the aisles were laid in brick of herringbone bond.</p><br>
<p>The Vestry House, once a common feature of parishes in the Mid-Atlantic, was constructed in 1766. Only two of these structures survive in Maryland today, the other located at St. George&#39;s Church in Perryman, Maryland.</p><br>
<p>Opened in 1713, St. Paul&#39;s is currently the oldest continuously used Episcopal church building in Maryland. It measures 30 x with a semicircular apse on the east gable where musicians would have sat. The floor was not raised as it is today, nor was there an altar. People sat in “box pews” on chairs and faced the pulpit in the middle of the north wall. The main door was on the south wall.</p><br>
<p>Among the notable rectors who served the parish in the 18th century was Rev. James Sterling who served from 1740-63. An Irish-born clergyman, Sterling was a poet, playwright, socialite, and entrepreneur who also served as the customs collector for Chestertown during his time in Kent County. Rev. William Smith, rector of Emmanuel Church in Chestertown, became rector of St. Pauls Parish in 1779. A founder of Washington College, Rev. Smith embraced the independence movement in the American colonies and presided over the convention of 1780 at which the Episcopal Diocese of Maryland was organized. This action kept St. Pauls Church open through the period of disestablishment following the Revolutionary War.</p><br>
<p>After the American Revolutionary War, St. Pauls Parish entered a period of stagnation and decline. Half a century later in 1840, only thirteen families were recorded on the parish rolls. However, under the effective leadership of several rectors in the mid-19th century, the parish was revived and improvements were made to the church. In 1841, a vestry was added and the interior refitted with new pews. The sanctuary was also aligned to support worship focused on the sacrament in accordance with the growing Oxford Movement. Upon the completion of these projects, St. Pauls Church was consecrated on November 26, 1843 by the Right Reverend William Rollinson Whittingham, Bishop of the Diocese of Maryland. During the American Civil War, a triptych stained-glass window was installed in the apse above the altar employing the colors and symbols that were later incorporated into the Maryland State Flag as a symbol of unity among the divided sympathies of the parish.</p><br>
<p>St. Pauls Church continued to prosper throughout the late-19th century. Among the rectors to serve the parish during this time was Rev. Sewell S. Hepburn, whose tenure begin in 1874 and concluded in 1881. He was the grandfather of actress Katharine Hepburn. Another prolific pastor of the parish in the late-19th century was Rev. Christopher Denroche who arrived at St. Pauls from Canada in 1892 and remained with the parish until his death in 1906. Rev. Denroche contributed to the documenting of the history of the parish in his book, A Souvenir History of the Parish of St. Pauls, Kent County Maryland, published in 1893 for the parishs bicentennial. He also conducted research which led to the erection of a monument for the Battle of Caulks Field, fought on August 30, 1814, Kent Countys only scene of action from the War of 1812. More enhancements were made to St. Paul&#39;s Church including the addition of a cast iron chandelier in 1882, a marble altar in 1890, and stained glass windows throughout the nave in 1912.</p><br>
<p>During the 20th century, St. Pauls Parish continued to develop the campus surrounding the historic church. A new parish hall and rectory were added in 1948, designed by Baltimore architect Bryden Hyde, a descendant of the parishs second rector, Rev. Stephen Bordley. In 1967, the vestry was enlarged and further improvements were made to the church. St. Paul&#39;s Church was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980. The parish celebrated its tercentenary in 1992 with a year-long festival which included a visit from Canon John Sausmarez of Canterbury Cathedral.</p><br>
<p>The George Harper Store is a historic crossroads general store located in Still Pond, Kent County, Maryland, united States. It is a late 19th-century five-bay frame commercial structure, two stories high with a central entrance and gable roof. Attached to it is a series of later additions, believed to date from about the turn of the 20th century. It operated as a store from 1894 to 1959.</p><br>
<p>The George Harper Store was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>

<p>She was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.</p><br>
<p>The Carlton D. Wall House, also known as Snowflake, is a Frank Lloyd Wright designed home in Plymouth Township, Michigan. It is one of Wrights more elaborate Usonian homes. In 1941, recently married Mr. and Mrs. Carlton David Wall, who were Wrights youngest clients, approached Wright to design a house for them after Carlton Wall studied Wright&#39;s architecture in college.</p><br>
<p>Its form is a series of hexagons radiating from a central chimney or service core without any true right angles, with many different wings off it for a nursery, terrace, guest room and carport. The cypress and brick house came to be known as Snowflake because of the hexagonal patterns created by the diamond grid design. This was the first use of Wright&#39;s modular diamond structure in Michigan, a technique he used elsewhere when incorporating a house into a hillside.</p><br>
<p>A massive brick retaining wall supports a dramatic terrace. Floor to ceiling windows, doors without mullions, and corner windows are used throughout the house. This brings the "outside in", which is the case in all Wright houses. From 1943 to 1944, Milton Horn collaborated with Wright on a wood relief mural for the house. In 1947, a 1,000 ft&sup2; bedroom wing was added to accommodate the Walls&#39; growing family. It is located to the west of the original house.</p><br>
<p>Snowflake was purchased by Tom Monaghan, the founder of Dominos Pizza, in 1983, and it was used on a rotating basis by executives of his corporation. It was to be part of Mr. Monaghans Frank Lloyd Wright Study Center. In the late 1980s it was sold to the current owners who use it as their personal residence.</p><br>
<p>Armory Park Historic Residential District is a historic district in Tucson, Arizona. It was listed on the NRHP in 1976 and the district boundaries were increased in 1996.</p><br>
<p>Part of the eastern section of the Armory Park Historic Residential District was first developed as company housing for employees of the Southern Pacific Railroad. When the railroad moved out of this area and combined with Union Pacific Railroad, the houses were auctioned off and moved to other areas.</p><br>
<p>In 2000, a solar-powered housing development, known as Armory Park del Sol, was built here. Developer John Wesley Miller named the streets in the subdivision after historic people and events of the area, referring to both railroads that were important to its history. This subdivision and its locally themed street names were featured in a December 2013 "Street Smarts" column, published in the Arizona Daily Star newspaper.</p><br>
<p>Copper Bell Bed and Breakfast, also known as Las Piedras Rest Home, is located in Tucson, Arizona, United States. It was built in 1910 and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.</p><br>
<p>It was a sanatarium.</p><br>
<p>It is operated as a Bed and Breakfast inn. "Circa 1907. Uniquely constructed of lava stone, this home includes an old copper bell brought from a German church."</p><br>
<p>Pima County Courthouse is the former main county courthouse building in downtown Tucson, Arizona It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It was designed by Roy Place in 1928 in Mission Revival and Spanish Colonial Revival style architecture.</p><br>
<p>The building previously housed the Pima County Superior Court (1930–1977) and later, the Pima County Consolidated Justice Court (1977–2015), which handled lower-level state criminal matters and small claims cases. As of February 2015, court proceedings for Justice Court were held in a newer building shared with other Pima County departments, which is located at 240 North Stone Avenue. Superior Court proceedings were held in the Pima County Superior Court building, located at 110 West Congress Street.</p><br>
<p>As this building was projected to be vacant by 2017, as the various departments and court functions relocate to newer facilities, Pima County was, in 2015, planning to convert the historic Courthouse to museum space. The county was in discussions with the University of Arizona and the Tucson Museum of Art to house exhibits; there was to be a new café, and a memorial to the victims of the 2011 Tucson shooting that seriously wounded then-USA Representative Gabby Giffords.</p><br>
<p>In 2020 the University of Arizona Mineral Museum (UAMM), formerly located on the campus of the University of Arizona in Tucson, was in the process of moving its location to the Pima County Courthouse in downtown Tucson.</p><br>
<p>It currently is the home of the Southern Arizona Heritage & Visitor Center.</p><br>
<p>Old Main, University of Arizona, originally known as the University of Arizona, School of Agriculture building, was the first building constructed on the University of Arizona campus in Tucson, Arizona, United States. It was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972.</p><br>
<p>Designed by Phoenix architect James Miller Creighton, construction of Old Main began on October 27, 1887. The budget of $37,969 ran out before the roof was finished. When university officials discovered federal loans were available for agricultural schools, they renamed the building from the originally planned School of Mines to the School of Agriculture. Federal funding allowed completion of the building and it opened for the first class of the university on October 1, 1891. Old Main, then the only building on the campus, contained the classrooms, library, offices, and dorms. Six faculty taught 32 students in 1891.</p><br>
<p>In 1919, the Alexander Berger Memorial Fountain was constructed in front of Old Main. Berger funded the project as a memorial for 13 University of Arizona students who were killed in World War I, including his nephew. Completed for $5500, the fountain was dedicated on January 31, 1920 by General John J. "Blackjack" Pershing.</p><br>
<p>Due to neglect by the University, Old Main fell into disrepair and was condemned by the City of Tucson in 1938. Demolition was averted when the US Navy repaired the building in 1942, for use as a Naval Indoctrination Training School during World War II. The Navy then paid $20,000 in 1945 to turn it back into a functioning campus building.</p><br>
<p>The first floor of Old Main was restored and renovated in 2008 at a cost of $4.6 million. It then housed the Universitys Office of Admissions, Center for Exploratory Students, and the Dean of Students Office. In January 2013, renovation of the entire building began — including a modernization of the interior spaces, replacing the roof, and framing the porch. It reopened before the 2014-15 academic year. In addition to extensive improvements, the Office of the President was relocated to Old Main.</p><br>

<p>"According to Bobbie Marshall of St. Michaels, she and her late husband, Marion C. “Junior” Marshall, purchased Rover in 1961 from Charles Grimes of Stevensville, Maryland. Grimes stated that the canoe was constructed about 1886 by the Thompson Brothers of Chester, Maryland, who also built Silver Heel. Rover was constructed as a workboat, and a motor was installed in her in 1902.</p><br>
<p>She was in terrible condition when acquired and was extensively rebuilt by Marshall and raced by him for the first time on Labor Day 1972. She was the only canoe in the fleet to be painted yellow.</p><br>
<p>Rover was poorly equipped for spars and sails and never won a race. She was known to capsize with some frequency and was called “rollover Rover.”</p><br>
<p>Her chief claim to fame was that she went to Washington, D.C., in 1976 to participate in the American Folklife Festival on the steps of the American Museum of Natural History.

She is located at Kingstown, Queen Anne&#39;s County, Maryland.</p><br>
<p>She was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Mystery was built in a barn in Oxford, MD, as a secret weapon to defeat the Flying Cloud in the Governor&#39;s Cup, hence the name, Mystery. Results were mixed and she was eventually re-rigged as a sloop in the late-40s and was used as a cruising boat.</p><br>
<p>In 1955, she was purchased by John Whittum who sailed her all around the Chesapeake with her sloop rig until he re-rigged her for racing once again and began to compete in the log canoe regattas. He eventually won the Governor&#39;s Cup in 1962.</p><br>
<p>In the mid-70s, John moved to Colorado, leaving the Mystery with Francis Schauber who had been racing with him since the early 60&#39;s. Francis raced her for several years, before purchasing it outright in 1975. He then began a full overhaul on her, which by then, had been in serious disrepair. He stripped down the hull to the bare logs, cut out all the rotten spots and replaced the waterlogged plywood decks. He also increased her sail area substantially. The foremast height was increased to 60 feet, making it the tallest mast ever for a log canoe under 35 feet long. Mystery would hold this record until Jay Dee unveiled her 63-foot foremast in 2012.</p><br>
<h2>Recent history</h2><br>
<p>Mystery has been refurbished many times over the years. Besides the overhaul from 1976, the most substantial occurred in 2001 when cheeks were added to her hull, with the desired effect to make her more stable.</p><br>
<p>In 2008, Mystery lost her foremast in the CRYCC regatta in a heavy air race. The mast, which was over 30 years old at the time, was deemed unfixable and a new one was built in time for the last two regattas of the 2008 season.</p><br>
<h3>2013 racing season</h3><br>
<p>In 2013, after only participating in two regattas during the 2012 season, Mystery made it out for the RHYC log canoe regatta, with the intent to compete in the rest of the season. However, the following week, once again in the CRYCC regatta, she lost her foremast when the shroud snapped. The mast was repaired, however she was unable to complete the season.</p><br>
<h3>2014 racing season</h3><br>
<p>Mystery did not participate in the 2014 Racing Season.</p><br>
<h2>Trivia</h2><br>
<p>In 1946, the owner at the time wanted to immortalize his son, who had been killed in World War II. For the racing season of that year, Mystery was temporarily renamed Memory.</p><br>
