<p>The Doddridge County Courthouse in West Union, Doddridge County, West Virginia, USA, was designed in the Victorian Romanesque style by J. Charles Fulton, who also designed courthouses in Barbour County and Randolph County. Built in 1899 by contractor John B. Conn, the courthouse features stone carvings by James Grant. The courthouse replaced a previous courthouse that was destroyed by fire in 1898.</p><br>
<p>The Mordecai Lincoln House is a historic house located in Washington County, Kentucky, 6 mi north of Springfield, Kentucky. It was the home of Mordecai Lincoln, brother of Thomas Lincoln, the father of the 16th President of the United States Abraham Lincoln. It is the only house owned by a member of Abraham Lincoln&#39;s family that still stands in Kentucky. It is across KY 528 from Lincoln Homestead State Park.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Mordecai Lincoln was with his father Captain Abraham Lincoln when he was shot by an Indian. Mordecai rescued his younger brother Thomas, by shooting an Indian reaching for him. Thomas became the father of Abraham Lincoln, the future president.</p><br>
<p>In 1792 Mordecai gained his inheritance from his father upon reaching the age of majority. Later the same year he married into one of the "first families" of Washington County by marrying Mary Mudd. (Marys first cousin twice removed was Doctor Samuel Mudd, who was guilty of conspiring in the Lincoln assassination; he treated John Wilkes Booths broken leg during Booth&#39;s escape attempt after the assassination of Abraham Lincoln in April 1865).</p><br>
<p>In 1797 Mordecai Lincoln bought 300 acre from Terah Templin in Washington County, and built what is known as the Mordecai Lincoln House on the property. He and his family lived in the house until 1811, when they moved to Grayson County, Kentucky. In 1828 they moved to Hancock County, Illinois, where Mordecai died two years later.</p><br>
<p>The Mordecai Lincoln House is the only home of any member of the Lincoln family that still stands in Kentucky. The homes of Abraham Lincolns father Thomas Lincoln, Sinking Spring Farm and Knob Creek Farm, were both razed in the 19th century, as was Mordecais Grayson County home. His brother Josiah Lincoln&#39;s log cabin was destroyed in 1941.</p><br>
<p>Jerusalem Mill Village is a living history museum that spans the 18th through early 20th centuries. One of the oldest and most intact mill villages in the USA state of Maryland, Jerusalem is located in Harford County, along the Little Gunpowder Falls River. It also serves as the headquarters of the Gunpowder Falls State Park. The site was added to the National Register of Historic Places on August 20, 1987. Also on the National Register of Historic Places and located nearby are Jericho Farm and the Jericho Covered Bridge.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The 318 acre tract of land called Jerusalem was patented to Nicholas Hampstead and John Walley in 1687. By 1743, the tract had been acquired by an ironmaster, Stephen Onion, and had been enlarged to 368 acre with several buildings. When Onion died in 1750, his nephew, Zacheas Barrett Onion, acquired the property. Onion engaged Isaiah Linton of Bucks County, Pennsylvania to come to Jerusalem to construct a merchant grist mill and to improve a nearby ironworks and several other mills. Linton was joined by his family and partner David Lee. He eventually built eight water-powered mills along the Little Gunpowder. The fourth mill, Jerusalem Mill, was completed in 1772 and is now the centerpiece of the living history village.</p><br>
<p>The village functioned as a Quaker village into the early 20th century. Evidence suggests that David Lee and several of his Quaker neighbors carved black walnut stocks and assembled rifles for the Continental army in the gunshop that stands behind the gristmill. During the Civil War, on July 11, 1864, Confederate Army Major Harry Gilmor sent a cavalry unit to the general store in Jerusalem Mills, now popularly known as McCourtneys Store, capturing supplies and horses, as part of Gilmors Raid.</p><br>
<p>After the Civil War, the buildings in the village were gradually leased out and sold. A succession of owners operated the gristmill until 1961, when it was then purchased by the State of Maryland to be part of the Gunpowder Falls State Park.</p><br>
<p>The historic buildings are being restored and preserved by Friends of Jerusalem Mill, an all-volunteer, non-profit, public charity, which has leased the village from the state of Maryland since 1986. Its current lease is valid through 2039. Restoration, preservation and maintenance efforts are funded almost entirely by donations, sponsorships, memberships, events and countless volunteer hours. Events include a living history program, concerts by the falls, jousting tournaments, vintage baseball, First Responders Day, and a lot more. Efforts are currently underway to stabilize and preserve the Lee Familys historic Bank Barn, mansion and two-story springhouse-smokehouse.</p><br>
<p>On April 10, 2016, a Blue Star Memorial Highway marker was dedicated at Jerusalem Mill, honoring those who served in the USA armed forces.</p><br>
<p>St. Vincent de Paul Catholic Church, now known as Prince of Peace Catholic Church, is a historic Catholic church in Mobile, Alabama. It was designed by a local architect, James H. Hutchisson, in the Gothic Revival style.</p><br>
<p>The current building was built in 1874 and dedicated on January 21, 1877. It replaced an earlier frame structure that had been completed in 1847 and burned prior to the erection of this building. This building was originally the parish church for Saint Vincent de Paul Parish.</p><br>
<p>The neighboring Black parish, St. Peter Claver, was established in 1911. On December 25, 1970 these two parishes were combined to form Prince of Peace. A new St. Vincent de Paul Parish was then established in western Mobile County to serve the Tillmans Corner area.</p><br>
<p>The original church was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on April 24, 1992, as a part of the Historic Roman Catholic Properties in Mobile Multiple Property Submission.</p><br>
<p>The Pearl S. Buck Birthplace is a historic home in Hillsboro, West Virginia where American writer Pearl S. Buck was born. The home now serves as a museum offering guided tours. The site also includes a carpentry shop and barn with over 100 historic farm and woodworking tools, and the log home of Bucks fathers family, the Sydenstrickers, which was moved from Greenbrier County.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Built around 1875, the three-story home was constructed by hand by a Dutch refugee family escaping religious persecution in the Netherlands. Buck was born at the house in 1892 while her parents, Caroline Stulting and Absalom Sydenstricker, were on leave from Presbyterian missionary work in China. They returned to China three months after her birth.</p><br>
<p>Pearl S. Buck was the first American woman to win both the Pulitzer Prize (1932, for The Good Earth) and the Nobel Prize for Literature (1938). A world-renowned author, she wrote over 100 books and hundreds of short stories and magazine articles. Her books have been translated into 69 foreign languages.</p><br>
<h2>Preservation and current use</h2><br>
<p>Buck herself was heavily involved in the preservation and restoration of the house. In the book My Mother&#39;s House she shared her vision for the museum:</p><br>
<p>If it (the house) ever lives again, and God grant it may for my Mother&#39;s memory, I hope it will live a new life, not for myself or for my family but for people. I would like it to belong to everyone who cares to go there. From that home has come so much life - that it ought never to die or fall into ruin.</p><br>
<p>For my ancestors, it provided shelter and home in a new land, a house where they lived their new lives with traditional dignity... For my mother, it provided a home, living forever in her thought and memory, though she made dwelling places in a far country. For me it is a living heart in the country I knew was my own but which was strange to me until I returned to the house where I was born. For me that house was a gateway to America. May it live again, my Mother&#39;s house, and may it prove for others, too, a gateway to new thoughts and dreams and ways of life.</p><br>
<p>The house is available for public tours.</p><br>
<p>The site was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on June 15, 1970.</p><br>
<h3>Manuscripts</h3><br>
<p>Pearl Buck gave her valuable manuscript collection to the Birthplace Foundation in 1970. The collection (minus The Good Earth, which was missing at the time) was acquired in 1974 and is presently stored at West Virginia Wesleyan College, under a special arrangement made with Senator John D. Rockefeller IV, then President of the college. The manuscripts will remain there until suitable housing is built at the Birthplace. They are available to researchers with permission from the foundation.</p><br>
<h3>The Stulting House</h3><br>
<p>The Stulting family, Pearl Bucks maternal ancestors, moved from Utrecht, the Netherlands, in 1847 with 300 of their friends and relatives so that they might practice their religion freely during a time of religious intolerance in the Netherlands. They were forced to leave the land they loved and move to a strange new country. The party consisted of Cornelius Stulting (called "Mynheer" in Pearl Bucks books), his wife Arnolda, and their five married sons and their families—three generations.</p><br>
<p>Upon arrival in New York, the families and friends began to go their own ways. The Stultings moved to West Virginia, then still a part of Virginia, and purchased land. After first settling in Dutch Bottom, they bought a small farmland of 16 acre, of which the Pearl S. Buck Birthplace Foundation now owns 13 acres. It is located in the area commonly referred to as "Little Levels," surrounding the town of Hillsboro in Pocahontas County, West Virginia.</p><br>
<p>Pearl S. Buck&#39;s great grandfather, Cornelius "Mynheer" Stulting, had a yearning to build a house like the one they had in the Netherlands. His wife, Arnolda, was homesick, and he hoped that the new house would help her accept living in America more easily.</p><br>
<p>The Stulting men worked very hard and all supplies for building were taken from the land. They worked more than two years and the house was nearly completed when Cornelius "Mynheer" took a chill and became very ill. He died before seeing the house completed. The house was finally finished by Hermanus, Pearl Buck&#39;s grandfather, and his son, Cornelius John, with the knowledge and fine craftsmanship they had learned from their ancestors, and the family moved into the house: "There at the edge of the settlement they built it, a goodly, twelve room house of wood, with smooth floors and plastered and paper wall, a city house" (The Exile, 29–30).</p><br>
<p>Pearl Bucks mother, Caroline, often called "Carrie," was reared in this house. She married Absalom Sydenstricker, one of the nine children of Andrew and Frances Coffman Sydenstricker of Ronceverte, West Virginia. Shortly after their marriage, they left for China to become missionaries. "They were pioneer missionaries and worked in more than a dozen places in China. Sometimes no other white family lived in their town" (My Mothers House, 35).</p><br>
<p>The Sydenstrickers visited this home frequently on their furloughs, which were usually every nine years, and it was during one of these visits that Pearl Comfort Sydenstricker was born in her grandfather&#39;s home on June 26, 1892.</p><br>
<p>Since her childhood was spent in China, Pearl&#39;s visits here enlarged her love for this American home, which her mother had instilled in her with many stories.</p><br>
<p>The Stulting family enjoyed and taught music, practiced its fine craftsmanship, became school teachers, raised children, and shared joys and sorrows together in the house until 1922. Mr. George P. Edgar then bought the house and made it a winter home for his family until the early 1960s.</p><br>
<p>Then the home was purchased by Mr. Jim Comstock to preserve it for its historical value. After raising about $4,000 from the West Virginia Hillbilly newspaper readers, he asked the West Virginia Federation of Women&#39;s Clubs to take over the purchase. The purchase and restoration were made possible by the donations of clubwomen across the state.</p><br>
<h3>The Stulting Barn</h3><br>
<p>According to research undertaken during the restoration, the inner structure that served as the foundation for the restoration dates to the mid-to-late 1860s. The nails used to hold the weatherboarding in place may be dated at approximately 1830 to 1890. This siding contained vertical saw marks which were uniform indicating the use of an up and down action power saw which may have been water powered. This would date the siding at about 1830 to about 1860—prior to circular saw use for the area. The structural framing details also fit this period of dating, about 1830 to 1860. Structural research indicates that the barn was built with the sheds all at one time.</p><br>
<p>Today, this barn with its antique farm implements and equipment, with a hayloft, stalls, and raised storage area, lacks only the farm animals to make it typical of the 1892 era.</p><br>
<h3>The Sydenstricker House</h3><br>
<p>This house was a gift to the Birthplace Foundation from two sisters, Mrs. Lucille Spencer, of Richwood, and Mrs. Leona Bonin, who lived in it before building a new home on the Sydenstricker farm. The house was moved from its original site and rebuilt in Hillsboro.</p><br>
<p>The Sydenstricker house was the birthplace of Pearls father, Dr. Absalom Sydenstricker, Presbyterian missionary to China for his entire adult life. The original log section is a museum for Sydenstricker items and the period 1834–1880. The house was built in 1834 by Andrew Sydenstricker, who married Frances Coffman on January 16, 1834, and became the father of nine children, including Absalom. Five of Andrews sons became ministers, four Presbyterian and one Methodist.</p><br>
<p>The Sydenstricker family was very prominent in Greenbrier County. Philip Sydenstricker, great-great-grandfather of Pearl S. Buck, came to America from Bavaria (Germany) -- first to Pennsylvania, then on to West Virginia ("Virginia" at the time) after the Revolutionary War, settling on a farm near Ronceverte, Greenbrier County, in what is known as the Fort Springs area. He arrived in America by ship on September 26, 1764.</p><br>
<p>The original two-story section of the house was built of logs, and later covered with siding to match the additional part of the house, which was added as the family grew. The siding was removed in the reconstruction of the house.</p><br>
<p>Reconstruction was begun with a $15,000 grant from the West Virginia Bicentennial Committee. The grant enabled the Birthplace Foundation to dismantle the house, transport the building materials to Hillsboro, and to put in the foundation. An additional $12,000 was invested in it from contributions for this purpose. A grant from the Claude Worthington Benedum Foundation of $25,000 has enabled it to be completed in 1982. The Pearl Buck Birthplace Foundation seeks donated items for this house, especially Sydenstricker memorabilia and furniture.</p><br>
<h3>Pearl S. Buck Memorial Garden</h3><br>
<p>The Birthplace farm is being developed into a Memorial Garden honoring Pearl. The project was started by Greenbrier District, West Virginia Garden Clubs, when a fruit orchard was restored with old-fashioned trees of the period. Also, grape vines and flowers were planted where the Stultings had originally planted them.</p><br>
<p>A few trees on the ground were originally planted by the Stultings, including a stately old Chinese mulberry tree which until recently stood in front of the house by the right. It had been brought as a seedling from China by Pearl Buck&#39;s missionary parents. Several other mulberry trees can still be seen on the property.</p><br>
<p>In The Exile, Pearl Buck wrote about her memory of the maple tree in front of the house: "There was an enormous old sugar maple to the left and there was a stile under it. Here many a time led her horse to mount it."</p><br>
<p>It was this same maple tree that Pearl Buck fondly referred to during a visit to her birthplace. She gazed beneath the tree and softly said, "I would like to be buried underneath that tree." But she qualified this by saying her children would make the final choice.</p><br>
<p>Cañon City Downtown Historic District is a historic district in Cañon City, Colorado. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983. The historic district listing was based on a 1981 survey by city staff; a 2004-05 survey has been completed which updates and expands upon it.</p><br>
<p>The district includes 80 historic structures, mostly two-story buildings, in the downtown commercial area of Cañon City. These are mostly on Main Street from 4th Street to 7th Street. They were built mostly during 1870-1920 of brick and stone and reflect Cañon City&#39;s success as a regional trade center.</p><br>
<p>Thirty-three are identified as significant contributing buildings, and 15 as also contributing, with the remainder being intrusions. The northeast "anchor" of the district is the former United Methodist Church, now Christ First Community Church at 8th and Main. The McClure House/Strathmore Hotel (1872), separately listed on the NRHP, on Main and the west side of 4th Street is at the other end.</p><br>
<p>It includes the Cañon City Elks Club, built 1911, of the 1900-founded B.P.O.E. No. 610.</p><br>
<p>In 1986 its borders were increased to include 602 Macon Avenue, and which has been turned into condominiums.</p><br>
<p>The Dahm House is a historic townhouse in Mobile, Alabama. The two-story brick structure was built in 1873 for John Dahm. It was designed by Bassett Capps. A two-story frame addition was added in 1929. The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on January 5, 1984. In addition to being listed individually on the National Register of Historic Places, it is also a contributing building to the Lower Dauphin Street Historic District.</p><br>
<p>The Meaher–Zoghby House is a historic townhouse in Mobile, Alabama. The two-story brick structure was built in 1901 for Augustine Meaher. It retains its original cast iron details and front yard fence. The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on January 5, 1984. In addition to being listed individually on the National Register of Historic Places, it is also a contributing building to the Lower Dauphin Street Historic District.</p><br>
<p>The World War Memorial in Kimball, West Virginia commemorates African Americans who served in World War I. The building sits on a hill in Kimball, a town in McDowell County, West Virginia. Constructed in 1928, the site was the first memorial of African-American veterans in the United States.</p><br>
<p>Many African Americans worked as coalminers in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. As of 1920, McDowell County had the largest population of African Americans in the entire Appalachian region. 1,500 men from the county were among the 400,000 African Americans who volunteered for service during World War I.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Initial funding for the site came after a memorial for white veterans was constructed in the McDowell County courthouse. African-American veterans petitioned the McDowell County Commission and were eventually granted $25,000 for the building&#39;s construction. An additional $19,500 was raised by the local American Legion post, bringing the total construction budget to $44,500.</p><br>
<p>In 1927, McDowell County hired local architect Hassel T. Hicks to design the memorial building, which was opened the following year. The dedication ceremony on February 11, 1928 included a speech from G.E. Ferguson, the only African American from West Virginia to serve as a captain in World War I. To each of the building&#39;s four columns, Ferguson gave a symbolic meaning: faith in America as a country, hope in ending injustice, charity toward others, and service to the greater community.</p><br>
<p>The completed memorial building included a hundred-seat meeting room, as well as a trophy room, kitchen, recreation center, and library, and was utilized by local citizens of all races. Functioning as a multipurpose community center, the building was frequently rented out for local social occasions. Most notably, the memorial hosted a performance by popular jazz musician Cab Calloway. It was also home to the first African-American Legion post. Known as Luther Patterson Post 36, the post was named after a black World War I veteran from West Virginia.</p><br>
<p>In the later decades of the twentieth century, the declining coal industry led to a decreased local population, and the memorial fell into disrepair. In 1991, a fire destroyed the interior of the building, leaving only the external structure intact.</p><br>
<p>The stone, terra cotta, and brick Classical Revival building stood as a ruin for more than a decade until a restoration. The memorial building was listed while still a ruin on the National Register of Historic Places in 1993.</p><br>
<h2>Present</h2><br>
<p>After $1.6 million in repair efforts, the War Memorial reopened in 2006. The site was the recipient of a Congressional Black Caucus Veterans Braintrust Award in 2006 and an Honor Award from the West Virginia chapter of the American Institute of Architects in 2007. The monument was also recognized as a Conservation Solution by the National Trust for Historical Preservation.</p><br>
<p>The building now serves as a live cultural resource and is open to a wide variety of programs, including tours, training classes, conferences, planning forums, corporate dinners, and receptions, as well as social gatherings.</p><br>
<p>The memorial also houses an interactive museum experience titled "Forgotten Legacy: Soldiers of the Coalfields." Much of the exhibit was the work of a West Virginia University journalism professor. In 2010, he and a group of students began compiling an archive of interviews, photos, and artifacts from Affrilachian veterans. These and other historical narratives have been made available to the public.</p><br>
<p>The Kimball World War Memorial show aims to mourn the forgotten past of African Americans in West Virginia and to provide a forum for people of all races and from all over the world to come together in a resurrected dialogue on race relations in West Virginia and the United States.</p><br>
<p>The Peterson–Dumesnil House is a Victorian-Italianate house in the Crescent Hill neighborhood of Louisville, Kentucky, United States. Of the remaining large country estates built by Louisvillians in the late 19th century to the east of the city, it is the closest to Downtown Louisville, and primarily for that reason, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The house was built on a 31 acre lot in 1869 or 1870. In the post-Civil-War period, wealthy Louisvillians began to build country houses near the city, where they would spend weekends or summers, and eventually live as faster transportation to the city became available. It was originally one of several similar villa-style houses built on large lots on the south side of Frankfort Avenue, overlooking the valley through which Grinstead Drive now runs. Most as close to Downtown as the Peterson–Dumesnil house were demolished to make way for suburban residential development on small lots in the early 20th century. By 1974, only one other old estate remained in Crescent Hill, and it was irrepairibly damaged by the tornado that hit Louisville that year.</p><br>
<p>Joseph Peterson, a wealthy Louisville tobacco merchant, built the house. He was known for his contributions to Louisville architecture, as his 1889 obituary reads, he "built many of the handsome and best structures which adorn our streets". The house is believed to have been designed by local architect Henry Whitestone.</p><br>
<p>Peterson&#39;s granddaughter, Eliza Dumesnil, inherited the house and lived in it until her death in 1948. The Louisville Board of Education then purchased it and operated it as a private club for teachers, the only one of its kind in the United States, but this practice was abandoned and in 1982 the board declared it surplus, and sold the house to the Peterson–Dumesnil House Foundation.</p><br>
<p>The house is home to the Crescent Hill Community Council in the Louisville Historical League and is rented out for events such as weddings.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The Peterson House was built after the Civil War, circa 1869–70, in the asymmetrical Italian villa style. It is built of brick on a limestone foundation, painted white, and is two stories tall. The only major alteration to the structure is a new front porch, built sometime after 1898.</p><br>
<p>The house&#39;s Italianate facade is common in mansions of the period, and the exterior is also marked by a large cupola.</p><br>
<p>Grace-Hampden Methodist Episcopal Church is a historic Methodist Episcopal church located at Baltimore, Maryland, United States. It is a large stone building constructed in 1899. The Romanesque Revival-style church features multiple gables and a square bell tower and masonry construction utilizing local granite with round-arched openings and decorative sill and lintel courses. It was the first ecclesiastical commission of local architect George Clifton Haskell.</p><br>
<p>Grace-Hampden Methodist Episcopal Church was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2001.</p><br>
<p>Lovely Lane United Methodist Church  is a historic United Methodist church at 2200 St. Paul Street in the Charles Village</p><br>
<p>neighborhood of Baltimore, Maryland, United States.</p><br>
<p>The building was designed by renowned New York City architect Stanford White in the Romanesque Revival style and completed in 1884 as the "Centennial Monument of American Methodism". It is patterned after the early churches and basilicas in Ravenna, Italy. The exterior is constructed of a gray ashlar granite with limited ornamentation. It features a square bell tower patterned after the campanile of the 12th century church of Santa Maria, Abbey of Pomposa, near Ravenna. The pulpit is a reproduction of the one at St. Apollinaris, in Ravenna.</p><br>
<p>Locally influential architect Charles L. Carson was supervising architect for the McKim, Mead & White firm during construction of the church. Lovely Lane Methodist Church was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.</p><br>
<p>The pipe organ in the church was built in 1930 by the Austin</p><br>
<p>Organ Company as its Opus 1738. The case remains from the original</p><br>
<p>organ of 1887, Hilborne L. Roosevelt’s Opus 336, which had</p><br>
<p>been enlarged by Adam Stein (1844–1922) in 1914. The Austin</p><br>
<p>instrument incorporates a few of the Roosevelt and Stein</p><br>
<p>pipes. This organ was played in recital during the Organ Historical Society Convention in July 2024.</p><br>

<h2>Lovely Lane Chapel</h2><br>
<p>The congregation is known as the "Mother Church of American Methodism."</p><br>
<p>The original Lovely Lane Chapel or Meeting House was the scene of the December 1784 "Christmas Conference", at which the Methodist Episcopal Church in the United States was founded and Francis Asbury and Thomas Coke were ordained as its first bishops.</p><br>
<p>The plain original chapel on Lovely Lane, off German (now Redwood) Street, between South Calvert Street and South Street in the city&#39;s waterfront district, was abandoned in 1786 and demolished. It was replaced (first) by an elaborate beaux-arts structure of the Merchants Club, and now the building contains a restaurant as well as offices and teaching space used by Chesapeake Shakespeare Company.</p><br>
<p>St. Johns Episcopal Church, also known as St Johns in the Village, is a nineteenth-century Episcopal church building on Old York Road  in the former village of Huntingdon (now the community of Waverly in northeast Baltimore, Maryland, United States. The congregation is often referred to as "St. John&#39;s of Huntingdon Episcopal Church". It is a Gothic Revival structure built originally in 1847. Also on the property is a cemetery.</p><br>
<p>All Time Low had their first show ever here in 2003.</p><br>
<p>St. John&#39;s Protestant Episcopal Church was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.</p><br>
<p>The Old Bend High School is a historic school building in Bend, Oregon, in the United States. Opened in 1925, the building served as a public high school for 31 years and a junior high school for an additional 22 years before being transitioned in 1979 into its current role as the administrative headquarters for the Bend-La Pine School District.</p><br>
<p>Because of its unique architecture and history, the Old Bend High School is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Bends first schoolhouse was opened in 1887. It was located in an abandoned cabin near the Deschutes River in what is now Drake Park. That schoolhouse was replaced in 1904 by a three-story wood-frame school building located at the north end of Bends downtown area, near where the Deschutes County Court House is located today. The first high school curriculum was developed that same year, by Ruth Reid, who was the Bend School District&#39;s first principal.</p><br>
<p>In 1913, the people of Bend passed a school bond issue that provided $23,000 for the purchase of property and the construction of a modern public school. The result was the three-story Reid School finished in 1914. The new school accommodated 241 students from first grade through high school. Because the Great Northern and Union Pacific railroads had opened routes into Central Oregon in 1911, the community was growing rapidly. As a result, 42 of the 241 children who attended the Reid School in 1914 were new students.</p><br>
<p>In 1917, a new eight-room brick high school was built in downtown Bend. In its first year, the high school enrollment was 115 students. As the number of students continued to grow, the classrooms became overcrowded. By 1920, the high school had overflowed into sixteen temporary classrooms located in several downtown buildings including two cellars.</p><br>
<p>In 1923, the Bend school board established a building committee to develop plans for a new high school. Based on recommendations from the building committee, the school board accept the Bend Amateur Athletic Club building (also listed on the National Register of Historic Places) from the Bend Holding Company to use as the high school gymnasium. In January 1924, a new unified high school district was approved by Bend voters. A month later, voters in the unified school district approved a $209,000 bond issue for the construction of a new high school building adjacent to the Bend Amateur Athletic Club facility. Construction began in the fall of 1924, and was finished in time to open on 7 September 1925. There were 69 seniors in the school&#39;s first graduating class in May 1926.</p><br>
<p>By 1952, the enrollment was approaching 1,000. However, the building continued to house Bend&#39;s high school until 1956 when a new high school was opened. A year later, the old high school building became Cascade Junior High. It served as a junior high school for 22 years. In 1979, the junior high students moved to a new building, and the old facility was converted into administrative offices for the Bend-La Pine School District. Since 1979, the old Bend High School building has housed school district offices plus several kindergarten classrooms.</p><br>
<p>Because of the schools unique architecture and its importance to the history of Bend, the Bend High School building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1993. Today, a near the buildings main entrance reminds visitor of the school&#39;s heritage.</p><br>
<h2>Structure</h2><br>
<p>The old Bend High School is a neoclassical Beaux Arts style building designed by Hugh A. Thompson, Bends first resident architect. Ed Brosterhous was the general contractor who supervised the schools construction. It was built at the south end of a 3.17 acre parcel in downtown Bend. The site is bordered by Wall Street on the northwest, Louisiana Avenue on the northeast, Bond Street on the southeast, and the Bend Amateur Athletic Club property on the southwest. The main entrance faces Louisiana Avenue, with concrete walkways leading across the front lawn to the school&#39;s main entrance. There are a number of large Ponderosa pine trees that shade the grounds. Play ground equipment for the children attending kindergarten in the building, give the area a park-like atmosphere.</p><br>
<p>The old high school is a two-story structure with a high basement. The building has a U-shaped footprint measuring 120 ft by 247 ft. The walls are brick, built over a foundation course of stone masonry above a concrete basement. The front facade is well balanced with high windows from end to end and a wide stairway leading to the main portico entrance on the first floor. The main entrance is dominated by three round-head archways supported by wide brick columns resting on a cut stone foundation. The main wall of the building behind the portico is embellished with sculptured cut-stone and Doric-style stone caps.</p><br>
<p>The building has four other entrances, one on the east and west sides and two on the buildings south side. The east and west sides match the buildings front façade with brick parapet walls and two stories of high windows plus a row of smaller window along the foundation to allow light into the basement rooms. The back side of the building has much less stone work and very little architectural decoration. However, the high windows continue around the entire building.</p><br>

It has remained completely unaltered since its construction in 1853. It was built as a Methodist chapel by the Taylor family on their Mt. Pleasant plantation. In 1925 the City of Baltimore purchased the land surrounding the chapel and burial grounds for use as a public golf course. The site of the chapel and burial grounds was left to a self-perpetuating board of trustees. Taylors Chapel is considered the mother church of St. Johns United Methodist Church of Hamilton.</p><br>

<p>The John A. Green Estate  is a historic property in Stone City, Iowa, United States. The estate covers 200 acre of land. The buildings were constructed of Anamosa Limestone quarried from John Green&#39;s own local business. The estate was individually listed as a historic district on the USA National Register of Historic Places in 1978. It was included as a contributing property in the Stone City Historic District in 2008.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>On March 17, 1868, then a lonely spot in the wilderness, now the site of Stone City, Iowa, John A. Green opened the Champion quarries. For nearly fifty years, the quarries produced steadily, amounting to more than 4.5 billion dollars in sales. 1896 records indicate 1,000 men were employed among the quarries, carving 160,000 loads of stone in a single year with a market value of 3.75 million dollars. In his most productive years (1869-1890s), John Green operated three quarries (known as "Champion 1," "Champion 2," and "John Allen") using nearby Anamosa State Penitentiary labor.</p><br>
<p>In 1883 Green built a three-story hotel and opera house complex on his estate known as Columbia Hall. It was made of 500,000 tons of stone. The theater offered some of the most well known entertainers of the day. Columbia Hall was purchased in the 1930s and torn down in 1938 to use the stone elsewhere.</p><br>
<p>In 1920 200 acre of the Green Estate was purchased by Frank Nissen. During the summers of 1932 and 1933 the estate became the location of Stone City Art Colony. In 1932, Grant Wood, Edward Rowan, and Adrian Dornbush established the Colony. With little more than $100 and a number of promissory notes based on the success of the art colony they leased 10 acre of land on the estate. The parcel of leased land included the Green Mansion, the Ice House and Water Tower. The upstairs portion of the mansion was converted into a dormitory. The rest of the house was used for business offices, kitchen, a sculpture studio and showers for the men. The basement of the ice house was made into a bar called The Sickle and Sheaf where instructor/student Dennis Burlingame tended bar. The upper portion of the water tower was converted into an apartment where Adrian Dornbush lived, called Adrian&#39;s Tomb.</p><br>
<h2>Buildings and Structures</h2><br>
<p>Columbia Hall was a three-story hotel and opera house complex. It was completed in 1883 and made of 500,000 tons of stone. The theater offered some of the most well known entertainers of the day. Columbia Hall was purchased in the 1930s and torn down in 1938 to use the stone elsewhere. The foundation is all that remains.</p><br>
<p>The Green Mansion was built in 1882 on a hill overlooking the city. The mansion had twenty rooms, seven Italian marble fireplaces, hand-painted murals, two baths, and a conservatory. In the early 1930s the Green family sold the estate to Frank Nissen. The Green mansion became the summer home of poet Paul Engle, son-in-law of Frank Nissen. In 1963 the Green Mansion was damaged by fire and torn down in the 1990s.</p><br>
<p>The Stone Barn was built in 1889 by John A. Green. The barn is 12,000 ft&sup2; and stands 30 ft high. There are a series of six buttresses along the length of the barn, each 3 ft wide at the base. The barn was originally built to house draft horses for John Green&#39;s quarry business. The stables could hold up to 100 horses. The barn housed a blacksmith shop, a three-story loft, and housing quarters for stable attendants. Locals of Stone City say that it took 80 men 80 days to build the stone barn. Today the barn is a private home and welcome refuge for visitors to Stone City.</p><br>
<p>The Water Tower was built on a high point of the Green Estate. The tower served as the water source for the estate, which included John Greens limestone quarry business. In the summer of 1932, during Stone City Art Colony, the water tower was used as an apartment for art instructor Adrian Dornbush. Students at the colony referred to the water tower as Adrians Tomb. In 2008 the water tower was purchased, remodeled, and made into a gift shop.</p><br>

The original exterior wall surfaces have been covered with formstone on the main façade and stucco elsewhere. It features round-arched stained glass windows on each side bay. It was built in 1873, by Joseph Thomas & Son for the city&#39;s African American Baptists who were then centered in the old southwest area from the downtown business district of Baltimore in the "Sharp-Leadenhall"  community in the old "South Baltimore" area. Nearby is its now famed revitalized "Inner Harbor" area of the old "Basin" for the harbor port.</p><br>
<p>The neighborhood is just west of the Federal Hill community and commercial district connected by West Hamburg Street, which is along South Charles and Light Streets, and the famous hill itself, which was the site of a celebratory picnic in 1788 after a parade of the various guilds, organizations and military units of old "Baltimore Town" to commemorate the ratification by Maryland of the new Federal Constitution, and later fortified with earthen embankments and large cannons of artillery by Northern troops of the Union Army a month after, during the Civil War to keep a close watch on and control on the Southern-sympathizing citizens of the City who had erupted in April 1861, in a riot attacking passing Massachusetts and Pennsylvania troops from the President Street Station on the east side from Philadelphia and the North, on their way to the nearby (a few blocks away with the Washington tracks running right by the Church) Camden Street Station of the famous Baltimore and Ohio Railroad to defend the National Capital of Washington from the newly seceded Virginians and Confederates.</p><br>
<p>The "Sharp-Leadenhall" neighborhood just west of the Harbor was one of the first neighborhoods to become predominantly African American residents among the Citys largest free-Black population in America, in the late 19th century. Prior to this era of beginning housing segregation, most of Baltimores "free citizens of color" lived amidst the white population in the small compact town, residing on the smaller streets and alleyways in between larger avenues and main streets, seeking employment in the homes and businesses of the majority white population. Often poorer residents, lived right in back or around the corner from substantial mansions and townhouses of the wealthy and well-to-do. In later years, additional populations of free blacks began moving to the northwest just beyond the Mount Vernon-Belvedere neighborhood and beyond Seton Hill, along the future Pennsylvania Avenue and Druid Hill Avenue of what became known as Upton.</p><br>
<p>The building was built and financed by the predominantly "colored" Maryland Baptist Union Association, (as opposed to the organization of the Baptist Convention of Maryland) who had generally separated from the white Baptists after often worshipping together in the small building during the colonial days of the late 18th century (although most of the time in upper balconies or separate pews/chairs in the sanctuary), into the early 19th century of the American Republic. It is the second oldest Black church edifice in Baltimore, and home to one of the city&#39;s largest African American congregations.</p><br>
<p>Another prominent congregation in the area that was an important force in the City&#39;s burgeoning African-American community was the nearby Sharp Street Methodist Church which later followed its members in later decades also to the northwest neighborhoods, where after a series of National Methodist church mergers is now still called Sharp Street United Methodist Church, although it left that location long ago, unlike the Leadenhall Church.</p><br>
<p>Leadenhall Street Baptist Church was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979. which is maintained by the National Park Service of the United States Department of the Interior, according to the Historic Sites Act of August 1935. With the designation of much of downtown Baltimore and its immediate inner eastern, western and northern residential historic neighborhoods as the Baltimore City National Heritage Area has been established. Under the same NPS and USDI influence and direction, with local supervision from city and state historical professionals, a series of new additional huge plaques have been mounted on streetside poles with illustrations, maps and text of the various historic sites, buildings, monuments and various tours of the heritage areas in the immediate block of that particular sign. On the other side is similar material for the BCNHA in general, and exhibits/tours available to be led and run out of the Visitors Center pavilion, along the western shore of the "Inner Harbor", with the additional printed brochures containing maps, pictures and text plus the material available on an internet website. Prominent display is given to the African-American heritage in the southwest "Sharp-Leadenhall" and northwest "Upton/Druid Hill" areas by the Pennsylvania Avenue commercial and entertainment/social district. It points out the Leadenhall Church site and many other black churches and institutions with the homes and locations of significant people.</p><br>

<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The fire station was built from 1896 to 1897, replacing a prior building, the Oak Street Engine House which housed Chemical Engine Company No. 1. The station had been nearly completed in February 1897, including its furniture. The fire station at the time had a requirement to be staffed by people of color, a city ordinance allegedly created to increase minority support for the government. Despite this, the fire chief decided to move the station&#39;s existing crew and their chemical engine to a new chemical engine station on West Broad Street, as the equipment needed to be moved and the existing crew was trained and experienced with the machinery. Therefore, in March 1897, the fire department issued a statement that the new station would be staffed by white men. The old fire station was cleared away by April of that year.</p><br>
<p>The engine house initially operated with horse-drawn fire engines. After the Columbus Fire Department vacated the space, it fell vacant for a long period. In 1952, it became the Arts and Crafts Center of the Columbus Recreation Department. On September 29 of that year, it held its first classes for the community arts and crafts programs. The arts center moved to the new Cultural Arts Center in Downtown Columbus in 1978. In 1980, an architect and restaurateurs attempted to purchase the building and renovate it to house "Fat Tuesday", a New Orleans or Bourbon Street-style French bistro.</p><br>
<p>In 1985, developer John Ogden purchased the building. Ogden initially planned to convert the building to house a restaurant and other businesses. He received opposition from the Olde Towne East Association and Near East Area Commission, which viewed a lack of parking to support a restaurant on-site. Ogdens plans were then turned down by the Columbus Development Commission. In 1986, Ogden reached a compromise with the community groups, with an agreement not to create a restaurant, and instead have office or retail space on the first floor and apartments on the second. Ogden eventually decided on making the building an event venue, cultural workshop space, and concert space. In 1987, John and Becky Ogden renovated the building into the Columbus Music Hall, which hosted jazz musicians for two decades. Livingston Taylor hosted the opening performance on October 9, 1988. Visitors to the music hall over its history included Ramblin Jack Elliott, Tom Russell, Jefferson Airplane guitarist-turned-bluesman Jorma Kaukonen, the Woody Herman Orchestra, and the group Dry Branch Fire Squad. It closed in 2008, with a "Farewell to the Firehouse" concert taking place on April 30 that year and a final performance on May 2, 2008. The owner had run out of funds, and cited a lack of substantial income from performances, the building&#39;s lack of a full-size kitchen, and its lack of ADA-compliant features barring it from receiving grants.</p><br>
<p>The building then became vacant again until its purchase by developers in 2017. The development company performed another renovation, including modernizing the space and making repairs to the building&#39;s original wooden firehouse doors. A restaurant, Gemüt Biergarten, opened in the building on August 23, 2019. Gemüt Biergarten was positively reviewed by the Columbus Dispatch that year. It praised the food as "impressive", its house-brewed beers, and the "1890s-vintage, refurbished firehouse" with a "convivial beer garden". Though the reviewer had qualms with the counter ordering style and simple food trays, they admitted that in a full-service restaurant, dishes would be smaller and more expensive.</p><br>

<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In 1839, the Board of School Commissioners of Baltimore City established the first public high school in Baltimore, City College. While public schools for white students of both sexes had been in operation since 1829, girls were not given the opportunity to advance beyond a "Primary" education until 1844. The Baltimore Board of Education wrote in 1843 that " who may have manifested superior abilities and attained suitable acquirements in the Primary Schools" should be given the same chance at a higher level of education as the male students, though girls were not given opportunities to study languages or advanced science and mathematics for several decades. (African-American children in Baltimore were not able to attend a public school until 1867, when the Baltimore City Council opened 13 primary schools for "Colored" students.)</p><br>
<p>Believing female students too delicate to be able to assemble from across the city at one central school like boys did for City College, two schools for girls were established: Eastern and Western High Schools, named for their location in the city relative to the Jones Falls. In order for a young lady to attend Eastern, she had to meet certain requirements: She had to be twelve or older, had to have spent at least one year in a female primary school, have good moral character, and pass an entrance examination. Additionally, there was a tuition of $1.00 a quarter unless a student could obtain a tuition waver from the Board of Education. Originally, girls could attend Eastern for three years; in 1867, this was changed to four years. Further changes to instruction came in 1898, when electives were introduced to the school and it was possible for students to specialize somewhat their area of study at Eastern, instead of taking each subject (math, science, history, etc.) in detail all three or four years.</p><br>
<p>The school colors of green and gold, the school flag, and the school song were all adopted by 1920. In 1924, Laura J. Cairnes became the first female high school principal in Baltimore when she took over the position at EHS.</p><br>
<p>During World War II, the students of Eastern were actively raising money through the sale of bonds and stamps. According to records kept by the War Stamp and Bond Project committee at the school, over $200,000 (1943 value) was raised from between December 8, 1941 to June 1943.</p><br>
<p>In September 1954, following the decision in Brown v. Board of Education, Baltimore city schools were integrated and African-American girls were eligible to attend E.H.S for the first time in its history. On February 20, 1970, the school dismissed students early in response to a student protest over a white teacher using an ethnic slur on a black student in class. The police were called and allegedly began beating students and using mace (spray) and tear gas to get them to go back to class or to get them out of the school. Another incident of police beating black students allegedly occurred at neighboring City College the same day. By 1984, the school was predominately African-American.</p><br>
<p>In 1979, Eastern High School became coeducational and added on a business magnet program to the regular curriculum. Additionally, after some years of serving the entire neighborhoods of Ednor Gardens-Lakeside and Waverly, it once again limited admission to those who met a series of criteria. Despite this, Easterns time was coming to an end. In 1984, hoping to shrink a school system that had over-expanded in the 1970s, the Baltimore City Public Schools system included Eastern on a list of schools to be closed, citing low test scores, low admission, and cost of repairs for the building. Allegations flew that the real reason behind the closure was to provide more parking space for neighboring Memorial Stadium, located at 900 East 33rd St. Already by this point, a large strip of lawn had been taken by the city from Eastern for the purpose of creating 1,200 new parking spaces at the stadium. An appeal was filed by supporters of the school but rejected. In June 1986, following the end of the school year, Eastern High School was closed for good. Many students, and the business magnet program ended up at nearby Lake Clifton, at one point the largest public high school in America. Lake Clifton-Eastern, as it came to be known, was dismantled in 2003, though the building is still in use by the Reach! Partnership School.</p><br>
<h2>Locations</h2><br>
<p>Throughout its 142-year history, Eastern High School moved to different buildings as the number of students enrolled in the school outgrew the schoolhouse, or as the building became too old or damaged to use further.</p><br>
<p>From November 1844 to July 1852: Front and Pitt (now called Fayette) Streets</p><br>
<p>From September 1852 to August 1868: Aisquith and Mullikin Streets</p><br>
<p>From August 1868 to August 1870: Baltimore and Lloyd Streets</p><br>
<p>From September 1870 to December 1906: Aisquith and Orleans Streets, in a Greek Revival building designed by R. Snowden Andrews</p><br>
<p>From January 1907 to February 1938: Broadway and North Avenue</p><br>
<p>From February 1938 to June 1986: East 33rd Street and Loch Raven Boulevard</p><br>
<p>The last building was a three-story, H-shaped structure, with a main lateral section and four projecting wings. Designed by James R. Edmunds Jr. and Herbert G. Crisp, who had designed the new Western High School building almost a decade earlier, the campus at E. 33rd and Loch Raven Boulevard was noted for its structural design and large, shady yard. It has a steel and concrete superstructure frame with red brick cladding and carved limestone trim in the Tudor Revival or (Jacobethan) style. Closed in 1986, this building was renovated in the 1990s. It is considered a historical/architectural landmark in the City and is currently owned and used for offices by the Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions, a part of the Johns Hopkins Hospital and the Johns Hopkins University institutions. The Eastern High School building at East 33rd St. was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000, which is maintained by the National Park Service of the USA Department of the Interior.</p><br>
<p>After the death of EHS alumna and former WHS teacher Lizette Woodward Reese in 1935, her friend, sculptor Grace H. Turnbull, gifted a memorial in Reeses honor to Eastern High School. Titled "The Good Shepherd," it depicts a shepherd, cradling a lamb while his flock stands behind him. It was installed on the grounds of the school in 1939. Despite the efforts of the principal of Western High School to have the monument moved to her school after Easterns closure in 1986, it remains at its original location.</p><br>

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Union Block is set on the west side of Lisbon Street, Lewiston&#39;s primary commercial street, just south of its junction with Main Street. It is a three-story brick building, nine bays wide, with three storefronts on the ground floor. The two left storefronts have central recessed entries flanked by glass display windows, while the right one only has a single display window on the left. The storefronts are modern, but are separated by original granite piers. Building entrances are located at the outer ends of the facade. The upper floor windows are set in panels with rounded upper corners, and have granite lintels and sills. The building has a deep cornice with decorative brackets and modillions.</p><br>
<p>The block was built in 1870 by John Y. Scranton (alternatively "Scruton"), a prominent local clothing retailer who had been in business in Lewiston since 1857. The upper floor house a meeting space that was variously rented to the Knights of Pythias, the International Order of Odd Fellows, and the Kora Temple (a local Shriners organization).</p><br>
<p>St. John Catholic Church is a Roman Catholic church in the unincorporated community of Fryburg in Pusheta Township, Auglaize County, Ohio, United States.</p><br>
<p>St. Johns is one of many churches in western Ohio that historically has been served by the Society of the Precious Blood. It is one of the oldest extant Catholic churches in the region known as the "Land of the Cross-Tipped Churches": most contemporary churches in the region were log structures that have disappeared. Only St. Augustines Church in Minster to the southwest remains a church, and it has been significantly modified by the addition of twin towers decades after construction. St. John retains its historic brick and stucco exterior, and its frescoed ceiling has been recognized as a leading aspect of its architecture. Throughout the Archdiocese of Cincinnati, there is only one church older than St. Johns that survives without significant structural changes. St. Johns and its parish hall were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979, along with St. Augustine&#39;s and many other churches related to the Society of the Precious Blood in western Ohio.</p><br>
