<p>The Eric Carlson Three-Decker is a historic triple decker house in Worcester, Massachusetts. Built c. 1894, it is a well-preserved instance of the form with Queen Anne styling. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Eric Carlson Three-Decker is located at the Worcester&#39;s eastern Belmont Hill neighborhood, on the west side of Eastern Avenue south of Catharine Street. It is a three-story wood-frame structure, with a hip roof and clapboarded exterior. It has an extended cornice with brackets, as well as fish-scale shingling on skirt sections between floors. Some windows have caps with a sawtooth finish. Its main facade is divided into two sections: the left side has a projecting polygonal window bay, while the right side has a stack of three porches. The porch entrances are near the center, with small square fixed windows to their right. The porch features spindled balustrades and turned posts, with brackets at the tops.</p><br>
<p>The building was built about 1894, when the area was developing rapidly due to an influx of Scandinavian immigrants. Its first owner, Eric Carlson, was a blacksmith, who also lived here, as did at least one subsequent owner. Many of its early tenants worked in the city&#39;s industrial factories, many at the nearby North Works of the Washburn and Moen Company.</p><br>
<p>The Chadwick-Brittan House is a historic house at 309 Lincoln Street in Worcester, Massachusetts. It is estimated to have been built c. 1797, and is one of the few surviving Federal-style houses in the city. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Chadwick-Brittan House is located in a mixed residential-commercial area northeast of downtown Worcester, on the east side of Lincoln Street (Massachusetts Route 70) at Shaffner Street. It is a -story wood-frame structure, with a gabled roof, two interior chimneys, and a clapboarded exterior. It has a five-bay center entrance facade, typical of the period, although the entry has been given Greek Revival treatment, with sidelight windows and a portico supported by round columns. The dormers in the roof are a c. 1900 Colonial Revival addition. A two-story ell extends to the rear of the main block.</p><br>
<p>The house has an uncertain early history, owing to a lack of period documentation. It is believed to have been in use as a tavern named the Chadwick Hotel c. 1800, but was in private ownership by 1833. In the mid-19th century it was owned by Josiah Brittan, a major local landowner and operator of a brickyard. In the late 19th century most of the land previously associated with the house was sold off for residential development. At that time, the house may have been moved slightly to make way for the laying out of Shaffner Street.</p><br>
<p>The Charles Chamberlain House was a historic house at 373 Pleasant Street in Worcester, Massachusetts. Built in 1876, it was one of the city&#39;s finest examples of residential Victorian Gothic architecture. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980,</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Charles Chamberlain House was located west of downtown Worcester, on the south side of Pleasant Street between the city&#39;s Pleasant and Winslow Park, and the Worcester Seventh-Day Adventist Church, which it shared its lot with. It was a -story wood-frame structure, with an L-shaped plan covered by gabled roofs. Its Victorian detailing was an eclectic mix, with spindled Stick style bargeboard in its gables, vertical board siding, a porch supported by delicate turned posts with foliate capitals, and decorated gable aprons. Sash windows were set in rectangular openings topped by lintels with peaked gables, and sills supported by small brackets.</p><br>
<p>Charles Chamberlain, the first recorded owner, was the owner of a blade manufacturing firm, which also manufactured and repaired lawn mowers and other small machinery. The house was probably moved on its lot sometime between 1922 and 1938, in order to make room for the construction of the adjacent church. The house was demolished in 1984; the site is now used for church parking.</p><br>
<p>The Chamberlain-Flagg House is an historic house at 2 Brookshire Road in Worcester, Massachusetts. The timber frame house is believed to be one of the oldest buildings in the city, although its construction date is unclear. It is one of the city&#39;s best-preserved 18th-century houses, and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Chamberlain-Flagg House is located in a suburban setting in northwestern Worcester, at the corner of Brookshire Road and Flagg Street. It is a -story wood-frame structure, with a gabled roof and clapboarded exterior. There are two chimneys, one rising through the center of the front roof face, and another on the right end. The main facade is three bays wide, with windows placed slightly asymmetrically around the center entrance. The entrance is a 20th-century Colonial Revival feature, with sidelight windows and a large gabled hood. A two-story ell extends to the left, and a screen porch to the right.</p><br>
<p>The house is thought to have been built sometime around 1742, on land that belonged to the family of Jacob Chamberlain, an early settler, but it has also been attributed to equally early members of the Flagg family. By 1800 the house belonged to Elisha Flagg, whose wife was from the Chamberlain family. Stylistically the house resembles those of the earliest area settlers; some features (notably the central chimney placement forward of the roof ridge) are suggestive of 18th-century alterations to the structure.</p><br>
<p>The George Cobb House is a historic house located at 24 William Street in Worcester, Massachusetts. Built about 1875, it is a well-preserved and little-altered example of late Gothic Revival architecture. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on March 5, 1980.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The house is set in a predominantly residential area just west of Worcester&#39;s central business district, on the north side of William Street. It is a -story wood-frame house, with a slate hip roof, slightly projecting central gabled pavilion, clapboard siding, and a granite foundation. Its front facade, facing south, is three bays wide, with single-story polygonal bay windows flanking the entrance. The entrance, set in the projecting pavilion, is sheltered by a porch that extends between the near corners of the flanking bays, with supporting square columns, arched openings, and a low balustrade. On the second level, a three-part round-arch window is set above the entrance under a stylized cap. The gable of the projecting section has Stick style bargeboard, and is flanked at the roof level by gabled dormers with a simplified version of the same decoration. Windows on the side elevations have bracketed sills and lintels, with the first-floor lintels capped by gabled cornices, and those on the second floor flat. A two-story polygonal bay projects from the right side, just below a steeply pitched gable.</p><br>
<p>The house was built about 1875, and was first occupied by George Cobb, a fish and oyster merchant.</p><br>
<p>Colton&#39;s Block is an historic series of commercial buildings at 586–590 Main Street in Worcester, Massachusetts. Built in the 1860s, it consists of three separate yet similarly-styled buildings separated by firewalls. It is the only surviving example of a commercial building style that was common in Worcester at the time. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980. It is now mostly occupied by residences.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Colton&#39;s Block is located in downtown Worcester, on the west side of Main Street between the Federal Plaza parking garage and the Babcock Block. It consists of three separate four-story brick buildings with nearly identical styling. Each is four bays wide, with a single storefront on the ground floor; the central entrance now provides access to the upper floors. The three buildings are articulated by slightly projecting piers, which rise to a band of corbelled brickwork and a common projecting cornice studded with paired brackets. The leftmost building has slightly larger windows on the second floor than those elsewhere (an alteration dating to about 1900).</p><br>
<p>The buildings were likely built in the 1860s by Samuel Colton, who published the Worcester Spy before branching out into other businesses, including real estate development. These types of buildings were once quite common in downtown Worcester, and these are now the only ones left. The earliest documented occupants were dry goods retailers and wholesalers.</p><br>
<p>Kenmil Place in Kentucky was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2009. Although the house was Italianate in style until its renovation in 1923, it is significant for its Classical Revival style, popular in Kentucky from 1895 until 1950. The building&#39;s Italianate incarnation was built in 1869, and the house was known as Brighton.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in February 2009.</p><br>
<p>The property was the Highlighted Property of the Week when the National Park Service released its weekly list on February 20, 2009.</p><br>
<p>The Blue Plate Building, is a building in the Gert Town section of New Orleans, Louisiana, at 1315 S. Norman C. Francis Parkway at the corner of Earhart Boulevard. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on October 16, 2008. Its NRIS reference number is 08000989.</p><br>
<p>Erected in 1941 in the Streamline Moderne style, it was originally a mayonnaise factory. It was designed by architect August Perez Jr in the Streamline Moderne style, a close cousin of Art Deco known for its curving forms, long horizontal lines and "streamlined" appearance.</p><br>
<p>In 2012 it was redeveloped by HRI Properties into 72 loft-style apartments with a designed leasing preference for artists, and was renamed "Blue Plate Artists Lofts."</p><br>
<p>The Village of Monroe Historic District, also known as the Smith&#39;s Mill Historic District, is located in Monroe, New York, United States. It is an irregularly shaped 81 acre area containing 36 properties, primarily residential but with some churches and commercial buildings, in the center of the village, just east of its downtown. In 1998 it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>Most of the district is open space, taken up by a mill pond and park, a cemetery and the former site of a racetrack. Its buildings, mostly from the 19th century but some predating the Revolution, are clustered in a small area Stage Road and represent the early core of Monroe from the days when Smiths Mill, its first business, had dammed the waters of Ramapo Creek. They are also survivors of an 1892 fire that devastated the village. The Greek Revival and Federal architectural styles prevail, with some mid-19th-century Gothic Revival homes included. Among the contributing properties are the oldest Masonic Lodge in New York, and the home of David Smith, the villages first settler.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>The most consistent boundary of the district is New York State Route 17M on its west, from Lake Street, including the entire mill pond and park, to a point a half-mile (1 km) west of its intersection with the Stage Road, now Orange County Route 19. A small area west of 17M, primarily along Stage but also including portions along Oakland, Mill and Ramapo streets, is included. The only other deviation from 17M is the exclusion of two large lots not part of Monroe Cemetery or the racetrack to the northeast of the 17M-Stage Road intersection.</p><br>
<p>Along the east, the boundary follows the west side of Mill Pond Parkway south from Lake, then runs east along the south side of Smithfield Court to follow the west side of Stage south for a short distance. Then it makes a zigzag path along lot boundaries to the junction of Carpenter Place and Maple Street. At that point it extends south to take in Monroe Cemetery, then returns to Stage and 17M.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<h3>18th and 19th centuries</h3><br>
<p>The village of Monroe began with the arrival of David Smith, originally from Brookhaven on Long Island, who in 1747 bought a 276 acre tract of the Cheesecocks Patent, where he had built a house six years earlier, in 1741, at what is now the junction of Maple and Stage. In 1761 he bought an adjacent tract, and these two purchases make up much of today&#39;s Monroe.</p><br>
<p>He had dammed the creek to start a mill, and very soon the settlement came to be known as Smith&#39;s Mills. As it continued to grow into the early 19th century, it was renamed to first Southfield and then, in 1808, Munroe, after a then-state senator. Later confusion over the spelling during the administration of President James Monroe led to the more common spelling being adopted, as well as stories that the village was named after the president.</p><br>
<p>This period of Monroes growth is reflected in the Federal style houses within it, as well as McGarrahs Tavern at Stage and 17M. It was chartered as a Masonic lodge in 1814 and remains the oldest such building in New York.</p><br>
<p>By 1836 its economy included not only milling but an iron industry which not only smelted the ore in the nearby hills but made it into finished products like nails and anchors. The New York and Erie Railroad routed its main line through what was then the village&#39;s outskirts in 1841, opening up new markets to Monroe. During this period the Federal style began to yield in popularity to the Greek Revival mode. The 1811 Nicholas Knight House on Stage Road was later renovated into a strong example of this style, and the 1853 First Presbyterian Church of Monroe, also on Stage, shows a more advanced interpretation of the style.</p><br>
<p>The railroads would be responsible for the Monroe Cheese Company making Velveeta a nationally known brand from its 1873 introduction. Its Italianate brick former factory remains on Mill Pond Road. Of the different styles popular in the late Victorian period, the Queen Anne Style was most in evidence in Monroe. The 1841 Methodist Church on Maple Avenue was renovated in Queen Anne style in 1885, and over a decade later, in 1896, the Church of the Sacred Heart was built in that style.</p><br>
<p>In 1892 a fire destroyed much of the village&#39;s then-downtown, to the east of the mill and older houses. The citizens responded by formally incorporating the village two years later, in order to establish a fire department and water supply system.</p><br>
<h3>20th and 21st centuries</h3><br>
<p>New construction in the historic core of the village began to drop off in the early 20th century, as the village expanded and other areas were developed. The racetrack became a popular venue for the local harness racing circuit between 1908 and 1927. The Colonial Revival style was not as popular as its Victorian predecessors had been, so there are few examples of it in the district. The most notable is the American Foursquare house at 132 Stage Road, dating to 1910.</p><br>
<p>Since 1940 there has been no major new construction in the district, save the 1948 Classical Revival Monroe Theatre, next to the cheese factory. The racetrack&#39;s grandstand was demolished in 1964. The stone bridge was demolished in 1994. The Monroe Theater was demolished and replaced with a modern structure, which has since been acquired by the Town of Monroe.</p><br>
<h2>Significant contributing properties</h2><br>
<p>The 36 contributing properties contain 70 total buildings and structures. Of these 47 buildings and 9 structures, along with four sites, are considered historic resources of the district. None have yet been listed separately on the Register. Eight other buildings (mostly garages), and one structure, are of late 20th-century construction and are not considered contributing.</p><br>

<p>Oakenshawe Historic District is a national historic district in Baltimore, Maryland, United States. It comprises 334 buildings which reflect the neighborhood&#39;s development during the period 1890 to about 1926. The neighborhood evolved in two stages on the 19th century Wilson estate. The first phase of growth is represented by frame houses dating from 1890 to about 1910 reflecting vernacular interpretations of the Victorian Gothic and Italianate styles. The second stage of development began in the World War I era, when several developers transformed the property by constructing a neighborhood of brick "daylight" rowhouses in revival styles popular at the time.</p><br>
<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2003.</p><br>
<p>Poole and Hunt Company Buildings refers to a complex of buildings that once housed an ironworks— consisting of a foundry, machine shop, blacksmith shop, erecting shop, and other structures, which were located in the Woodberry section of northwest Baltimore, Maryland, United States. The buildings, made chiefly of brick and fieldstone, occupied portions of a 20-acre  site. They were constructed beginning in 1853 and enlarged periodically as the business of manufacturing iron-based parts and machinery expanded. In 1973, although the buildings had been converted to other uses, they remained intact and that year were added to the National Register of Historic Places. In 1995, a major fire destroyed the machine shop, damaged parts of other buildings, and stopped further activity in the balance of the site. After 2000, real estate developers purchased the former industrial site and converted the buildings into commercial and residential uses. The complex is now known as Clipper Mill.</p><br>

<p>The Virginian Hotel is a historic hotel in Medicine Bow, Wyoming, United States. Construction on the hotel began in 1901 and was completed in 1911. It was built by August Grimm, the first mayor of Medicine Bow, and his partner George Plummer. The hotel is thought to be named for the famous novel written in Medicine Bow, The Virginian by Owen Wister. Although it provided a place for cowboys and railroad workers to stay while they were in town, the hotel was actually built to serve a much broader clientele. It became a headquarters for all to meet and eat as well as a setting for many business dealings.</p><br>
<p>The significance of the hotel rests upon its architecture and its history. The building is massive in size for a town the size of Medicine Bow, which has 284 residents. The hotel has served as a landmark for the town of Medicine Bow as well as a Historic Landmark for the state of Wyoming for nearly 100 years.</p><br>
<h2>Construction and architecture</h2><br>
<p>The original building is a 3½ story structure built in a freely adapted example of Renaissance Revival in the Italian Style. Its simplicity of outline and symmetrical exterior lines are evidence of its Renaissance Revival architecture. It is constructed of concrete blocks containing sand drawn from the Medicine Bow River and fashioned at the building site. Along with the significance of the size and architecture of the hotel, it boasts the first electric lights and sewer in town.</p><br>
<p>The hotel proper is papered in Victorian gold and burgundy medallion wallpaper, has velvet draperies and pressed tin on its 12 foot high ceilings. The main floor has an "Eating House," the formal "Owen Wister Dining Room," and the "Shiloh Saloon," which still has bullet holes riddled throughout to remind guests of some past shootout. The rooms have antique brass beds, tulip-shape lights are still heated by steam radiators. Only the suites have private baths, replete with claw foot bathtubs. The other rooms have access to separate bath facilities located in the halls. True to its time, the rooms in the original hotel do not have modern amenities such as telephones or televisions.</p><br>
<h2>Location</h2><br>
<p>Upon completion, it was the biggest hotel between Denver and Salt Lake City. It is located midway between Laramie and Rawlins, Wyoming on the old Lincoln Highway (USA Route 30).</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>On September 30, 1911, the Virginian celebrated its grand opening.</p><br>
<p>In 1957, two cement block extensions were added on to the hotel, one of which was, until recently, used as living quarters for the hotel owners but now contains rental units. These newer units have coffee makers, small refrigerators, phones, and cable TV as well as their own attached bathrooms.</p><br>
<p>In 1978, the Virginian Hotel was added to the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>The hotel had a grand reopening in 1984, after it had been completely renovated and restored to its current turn of the century decor.</p><br>
