The front gambrel projects over a recessed porch which is made of dressed stone, with a round Syrian arch providing access. The gambrel is finished in decorative cut shingling, and has two round-arch windows in its lower level and a small sash window near its peak. To the left of the gambrel is a two-pane fixed-pane window with a stained-glass transom above on the first floor, and a projecting oriel window on the second.

The land this house was built on belonged to a prominent local developed, Charles Davis, as late as 1895. The quality of its design and construction suggest that it was designed by an architect, and not built on speculation. Its first owner Joseph Barrows, only lived there a short time; its second owner, Christopher Goddard, as an insurance broker working in Boston.</p><br>

<p>Thomas Harrison House is a historic home located at Harrisonburg, Virginia. It was built between 1790 and 1800 and is a 1½-story, two bay by one bay, coursed limestone vernacular dwelling. It has a gable roof and was built over a spring, which is accessible in the basement. It is the oldest house in Harrisonburg and its namesake is regarded as the town&#39;s founder.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973. Until 2018, it was believed that the building was built around 1750 by Thomas Harrison, however recent studies determined it was built after 1790. In 2018, the City of Harrisonburg partnered with the Margaret Grattan Weaver Institute of Regional Culture at Bridgewater College to restore the building. Led by James Madison University professor Carole Nash, the research term determined the structure was actually built no earlier than 1790, after Thomas Harrison died; subsequently, the team concluded that Harrison neither built nor ever lived in the structure that shares his name.</p><br>
<p>The Jacob Sloat House, originally called Harmony Hall, is located on Liberty Rock Road in Sloatsburg, New York, United States. Built in the late 1840s, it is a wooden house that shows the transition from the waning Greek Revival style to the newer Picturesque and Italianate modes.</p><br>
<p>It was built late in the life of Jacob Sloat, a descendant of village founder Stephen Sloat who had made a fortune as a textile merchant earlier in the century. He was a close friend of Jasper Cropsey, who historians believe may have helped him design the house. After leaving his family at the beginning of the 20th century, the house passed through a variety of owners and uses, including two restaurants and a home for the elderly. It is currently the property of the Town of Ramapo, which intends to develop it into a historic house museum and cultural center. In 2006 it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>Building</h2><br>
<p>The house stands on a 2 acre lot south of the other houses on the street, accessible by a narrow winding route called Oak Street, atop a gentle rise leading up from the Ramapo River a mile to the east. A few vestiges of the original siting, such as the large lawn, some of the trees, and parts of the former roads to nearby Orange Turnpike (now NY 17) remain. Two large Norway spruce trees screen the front.</p><br>
<p>It is supported by an ashlar granite foundation, from which it rises three stories in the front. Aluminum siding covers the original pine clapboard. The house is topped by a slightly pitched gabled roof.</p><br>
<p>Two wings in the rear give the house an asymmetrical L-shaped footprint. A full-length veranda with six antae runs along the first story of the eastern (front) facade; a wooden wheelchair ramp now connects to it as well. The windows are tall and narrow.</p><br>
<p>Inside, the main block has a central-hall plan, with a large parlor to the south and a smaller dining room to the north, since further partitioned. The original veranda has been enclosed to create additional rooms; one of its antae is still visible. The second floor is more intact, with its central hallway between bedrooms running north–south, perpendicular to its counterpart below. The basement is fully finished, with three large rooms whose function is not clear divided by another central hall.</p><br>
<p>The on the two main floors is mostly intact from the original construction. All wall plaster, decoration and woodwork remain. Of particular note are the twin fireplaces in the parlor, with veined marble mantels and cast iron grates.</p><br>
<h2>Aesthetics</h2><br>
<p>The Jacob Sloat House, or Harmony Hall as Sloat called it, exhibits a combination of features from the Greek Revival style, then declining in importance for houses, and newer trends like the Picturesque and Italianate styles. The former is more noticeable on the outside; the latter on the inside.</p><br>
<p>Like a Greek Revival home, Sloat&#39;s was built on high ground that overlooked his lands and the source of his wealth, his mills and the river. The lawn and plantings around it, in turn, reflect the contemporary theories of Andrew Jackson Downing, who disliked Greek Revival houses as wasteful and false, advocating instead cottages that looked like comfortable places to live, in harmony with their natural surroundings rather than attempting to dominate them.</p><br>
<p>The strictly symmetrical fenestration is a hallmark of Greek Revival classicism as is the center-hall plan. The liberal use of ornament and marble on the inside suggest the influence of Italian design.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Jacob Sloat (1792–1857), a grandson of Stephen Sloat, who first settled the area in 1763, built his mills on the Ramapo in the mid-1810s. During the next decade, he invented the cap spindle and gimlet-pointed wood screw, his family later claimed. These helped his business take off, and the New York and Erie Railroad&#39;s route through the area extended his reach to new markets in later decades.</p><br>
<p>He began building the house in 1846, starting with the foundation. After waiting for it to settle, giving rise to rumors that he was financially strapped, he completed the framing and the rest of the house, in time to move his family in two years later.</p><br>
<p>There is no architect of record. Sloat, who admired Downing&#39;s works and ideas, may have undertaken much of it himself. He may also have been helped by his friend, the Hudson River School painter Jasper Cropsey, who dabbled in architecture. Cropsey frequently traveled through Sloatsburg in the mid-1840s, and visited Sloat frequently. Around 1850 he made an early pencil sketch of the house from the northeast.</p><br>
<p>The house remained in the Sloat family until the early 20th century. A 1912 postcard of the village shows it being used as the Henry Inn. It later became the Ramapo Inn, a popular local eatery until the mid-1930s. The next decade, it became an Italian restaurant, and in the mid-1950s was once again converted into a boardinghouse, the Martin Home for Women.</p><br>
<p>In the 1980s it was modified slightly into an elder care home that was closed by the state in 2003. The town purchased the abandoned home with the intent of converting it into a local historical museum. In 2007 it received a grant for major restorations that will help recreate the house as it was during the Sloat family&#39;s years of ownership.</p><br>
<p>The Anderson–Capner House is located at 700 Trumbull Avenue in Lawrence Township, New Jersey. Constructed in 1764, it is the last remaining pre-revolutionary building and farm house in the southern part of the township.

<p>The Jacksonville Historic District encompasses the historic core of the 19th-century mining town of Jacksonville, Oregon. The city was a major mining, civic, and commercial center from 1852 to 1884, and declined thereafter, leaving a little-altered assemblage of architecture from that period. The district was designated a USA National Historic Landmark in 1966.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The city of Jacksonville was founded in 1852 after gold was found in the nearby hills. It grew quite rapidly in its first year, and became the county seat of Jackson County when that county was organized in 1853. It became the principal financial and commercial center in the mining country of southwestern Oregon, and flourished until the 1870s. In 1873, a significant portion of the city was destroyed by fire. Although much was rebuilt afterward, the city&#39;s decline in importance was cemented when the railroad bypassed it, and the county seat was relocated to Medford in 1927.</p><br>
<p>The historic district includes the citys central commercial district, on East California Street, and extends mainly northward to include adjacent residential areas. The former county courthouse is now a museum property of the local historical society, interpreting the citys history. The building stock is architecturally diverse, but limited to styles that were popular between the 1850s and 1880s in the region: the Greek Revival, Italianate, and Gothic Revival. Particularly well-preserved buildings include the 1856 Beekman Bank, which retains all of the original fixtures for a period bank. The district also includes the city&#39;s first cemetery, established in 1860.</p><br>

<p>Long Meadow, also known as Long Meadows Farm, is a historic home located near Winchester, in Frederick County, Virginia. The earliest section was built about 1755, and is the -story limestone portion. A -story detached log unit was built shortly after, and connected to the original section by a covered breezeway. In 1827, a large two-story, stuccoed stone wing in a transitional Federal / Greek Revival style was built directly adjacent to log section. The house was restored in 1919, after a fire in the 1827 section in 1916. Also on the property are a contributing stone-lined ice house, an early frame smokehouse, and the ruins of a -story log cabin.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2005.</p><br>
<p>Woodhouse House in Virginia Beach, Virginia, also known as Fountain House or Simmons House, was built in 1810 in the Federal architecture style. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2007. It is located south of the Virginia Beach Courthouse complex, still surrounded by farm land but facing increasing encroachment by suburban homes.</p><br>
<p>The house is a wood frame two-story structure with a brick American bond chimney with Flemish bond headers and asphalt shingles. The kitchen and smokehouse were built in 1904. Also on the property are a "mid-20th century garage, shed, well, and barn, and late 20th century swimming pool." Woodhouse and Simmons family cemeteries are also on the property. The Woodhouse cemetery, where Thomas is buried, is near a dilapidated barn. The Simmons cemetery is detached from the main structures and is at the northeast corner of the property.</p><br>
<p>The property was originally 75 acre in size, which Captain Thomas Woodhouse bought from John Frizzell in 1811. Woodhouse died in 1813 at age 39 and willed the property to his brother, Henry Woodhouse. Henry sold the property, now 102 acre in size, to Andrew Simmons in 1849. Simmons, who increased the acreage to 267 acre, died in the 1880s and his descendants sold the property to William D. Woodhouse, a descendant of Capt. Thomas Woodhouse. In 1889 William sold the land to Reuben Fountain, who lived on adjoining land. The Fountain family still owns the property. Suburban encroachment has diminished the total acreage to just slightly over 50 acre, with the home and outlying buildings occupying 1 acre. The home is one of the few buildings of its type in Virginia Beach, representing the transition from Colonial and Georgian architecture to Federal style in the region.</p><br>

<p>Zion Evangelical Lutheran Church is a Neogothic Revival-styled church built in 1910 in Hartland, Wisconsin to serve its German-speaking Lutheran congregation. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.</p><br>
<p>Many Germans settled in Hartland in the mid-1800s. In 1867 local Germans and Danes formed a Lutheran congregation, constructing a church building. By 1910 there were strains, and the congregation split along ethnic lines. The Danes bought the old church, across the street from this building.</p><br>
<p>The Germans built this new church building in 1910, with J.P. Peterson and Bernard Nienow as general contractors and the members donating labor. The foundation is fieldstone, with cream brick walls sitting on that, sheltered under a gable roof. The front square tower has a shingled spire topped with a cross. The NRHP nomination deems the building architecturally significant "as a good local example of the Gothic Revival style", but it is a rather squat Gothic Revival, with only a hint of a point on the arches. A 1951 addition to the rear does not detract from the building&#39;s architectural integrity.</p><br>
<p>The current pastors are Reverends Steven Ristow and Ben Steenbock.</p><br>

<p>The Waldo water tower, officially called the Frank T. Riley Memorial, is a white, castle-like tower in the Waldo neighborhood of south Kansas City, Missouri, United States.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The structure was a functioning water tower from 1920 until 1957. It was listed in 1975 as Missouri&#39;s first American Water Landmark by the American Water Works Association, and is on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>The 12-sided tower is 134 ft tall, with walls 18 in thick, and a capacity of 1,000,000 gal. The tower is topped by crenellations and 12 arched windows. It was constructed using a 14-day continuous pour.</p><br>
<p>In August 1962, the remains of a 20-year-old man missing since the previous November were discovered in the bottom of the tower. To retrieve the body, a hole was created near the bottom of the tower. The location of that hole is still visible on the west side of the tower. The tower is currently protected from vandals and climbers by a chain-link fence topped with barbed wire.</p><br>
<p>In 2015, the Kansas City Council set aside $850,000 to renovate the tower.</p><br>

<p>Howard House in Palestine, Texas was built in 1848 by Reuben A. Reeves, Texas State Supreme Court Justice, and justice of the Supreme Court of the New Mexico Territory. When Reeves moved away from Palestine in 1850, the house was purchased by local merchant George R. Howard. Attaining the rank of colonel from his service with the Tennessee State Militia, Howard also served with the Confederate States Army. As a civilian, Howard served in numerous state and local elected positions, including as mayor of Palestine. Upon the deaths of Howard and his wife, the house was inherited by their son Thomas S. Howard. The city of Palestine purchased the house as a museum in 1964. It was listed on the NRHP in 1993.</p><br>
<p>The Howard House Museum is owned by the city and furnished for a late 19th-century appearance. It is open for tours and special functions by appointment.</p><br>
<p>Locust Grove is a historic house located between Dillwyn and Cumberland, Virginia, constructed before 1794. It is remembered for its connection to the Revolutionary soldier Peter Francisco, and as the Peter Francisco House it was added to the National Register of Historic Places on March 16, 1972.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>Locust Grove is a -story single-pile house; it is covered by a gable roof, with two shed dormers on each slope. A box cornice forms a base for the roof. There are two chimneys on the buildings exterior, one on either end. The eastern of the two is of Flemish bond, and is original; the western, of American bond, appears to be a replacement dating to the time when a one-story wing was added onto the house. This wing is now gone, but the foundation of its chimney remains; a small garden has been platted on the site. The foundation of the structure is of English bond, and there is a full basement. At the time of the houses National Register nomination, most of the original window frames, complete with their original sills, remained, as did a good deal of beaded siding.</p><br>
<p>Inside, the house was divided into two principal rooms per floor, with a central hallway for the stairs. Few original fittings survive; the mantels and wainscoting were removed, as were some floorboards from the second floor. Part of the first-level floor had fallen in. Portions of the stairway survived, as did the north-exterior door. The walls were once plastered, but much of the covering has disintegrated over time.</p><br>
<p>Locust Grove had deteriorated severely by the time it was surveyed for the National Register of Historic Places, to the point that it was marked as "Deteriorated" on the nomination form. Most of the framing survived, revealing the underlying structure of the house; however, many interior and exterior trappings had disappeared. In recent years, a great deal of restoration work has been performed on the structure, and it is once again in habitable condition.</p><br>
<h2>Location</h2><br>
<p>Locust Grove is located almost a mile off of Virginia Route 626 near Buckingham County&#39;s border with Cumberland County. It sits on farm and scrub land at the end of a long dirt road, and is approached from the north. The building itself stands on the edge of a hill facing Payne Creek.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Little is known about the early history of Locust Grove. It was evidently constructed sometime before 1794, as Francisco took up residence in the house in that year, living there until the mid-1820s (one source suggests, on the basis of style, a date between 1790 and 1810). Francisco himself had local ties, having grown up at Hunting Towers, the nearby estate of Patrick Henry&#39;s uncle Judge Anthony Winston. In any event, he lived there with his second wife, Catherine Brooke, with whom he raised four children. She died in 1821; two years later he married again, this time to a widowed niece of Governor Edmund Randolph. She persuaded him to leave the countryside for a more comfortable life in Richmond, where he worked as the Serjeant-at-Arms of the Senate of Virginia, and in which city he remained until his death.</p><br>
<p>Few records have survived from Franciscos time at Locust Grove. The little information that remains suggests that the farm was typical of those found around Virginia at the turn of the nineteenth century. A personal property tax inventory taken in 1815 indicates the presence in the household of seven slaves over twelve years old and one between nine and twelve, as well as six horses and twelve head of cattle. No carriage, watch, clock, or mahogany furniture was found, but the houses occupants were taxed for a mirror with gilded frame, two goblets made of cut glass, three pictures, and an unknown number of small gilt frames. This record indicates that, while Francisco was not among the Virginia gentry, he was most probably among the better-off residents of the county at the time.</p><br>
<p>Peter Francisco died in 1831; after him, the next recorded tenant of Locust Grove was one Robert Rives, who owned it for a brief time in 1845. From him it passed on to John S. Coleman, who lived there until 1906. Abner Spencer then took ownership, living there until sometime after 1932. The Society of the Descendants of Peter Francisco took charge of the land beginning in the early 1970s, leasing it from its owners at the rate of one dollar a year. The intent was to restore the house and turn it into a museum and shrine dedicated to Francisco&#39;s memory; while the restoration was completed, due in part to matching funds granted by the United States government upon conferral of the National Register listing, the museum was never created, and the house reverted to private ownership. Today Locust Grove is owned by a couple from Richmond who use it as a second home.</p><br>
<p>A collection of papers related to the history of Locust Grove is part of the archive of the Society of the Descendants of Peter Francisco held at the Library of Virginia.</p><br>
<h3>1987 archaeological dig</h3><br>
<p>As part of the restoration work done on Locust Grove in the late 1980s, students from Longwood College visited the home and grounds and conducted an archaeological dig which covered various portions of the property. Excavations were conducted at five points around the site, and a number of discoveries were made. Chief among these was the grave of an infant discovered in the corner of the former kitchen garden near the house. Oral tradition states that Francisco had a daughter who died in infancy sometime in the 1820s, and who was buried in the garden. There are no formal records either of such a burial or of the birth of the child; however, the discovery of the grave lends greater credence to the story. Also found on the grounds of the house were the remains of the foundation of a tobacco barn, known to have burned in 1826, as well as some bits of ash and a large collection of nails and nail fragments. Excavations on and around the property also turned up the foundation and cellar of an old ice house, later used as a midden; the foundation of another small building, whose purpose remains uncertain; and a small spring associated through oral tradition with Peter Francisco. Numerous beams and door and window frames original to the house were found and replaced during the restoration and excavation; the originals were set aside in the basement for further study.</p><br>
<p>Gatewood House is a historic plantation house in Eatonton, Georgia that is listed on the USA National Register of Historic Places. It was built sometime during 1805-1812 while the property was owned by a John Keating. As of 1975, the house remained unaltered from its original construction. It is significant for its "refined yet simple" architecture, unusual and hence more important given its era.</p><br>
<p>Owners include:</p><br>
<p>pre-1812 John Keating built it, sold it for $1200 to James O&#39;Neal</p><br>
<p>James O&#39;Neal made the property into a successful cotton plantation, sold it for $1900 in 1820</p><br>
<p>Z. Weddington, sold it for $1400</p><br>
<p>William Walker owned it</p><br>
<p>James Jackson sold the house and its 202.5 acre for $1200 to Mrs. Francis M. Gatewood</p><br>
<p>Mrs. Francis M. Gatewood, whose family kept it into the 1920s</p><br>
<p>USA government purchased it</p><br>
<p>H. Grady West purchased it with 130 acre in 1930s</p><br>
<p>Mr. and Mrs. John Copeland, owners in 1975, purchased it not long before then</p><br>
<p>Reportedly the hand of Ann E. Gatewood was sought by William H. Seward (later USA Secretary of State).</p><br>
<p>Turnwold Plantation where Joel Chandler Harris lived and wrote, is nearby.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.</p><br>
<p>The Sloat House is located at the corner of NY 17 and Sterling Avenue in Sloatsburg, New York, United States. It is a stone house, dating to the mid-18th century, with a frame front addition built in the 1810s.</p><br>
<p>It was the home for many years of members of the Sloat family, for whom the village is named. George Washington visited it during the Revolutionary War, and John D. Sloat, later the first American Military Governor of California, was born here. It also served as a meeting place for local politicians and officials during the Revolution and some decades afterward. In 1974 it became the first property in the village listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>Building</h2><br>
<p>The house has two blocks, built at different times. The older rear section, the kitchen wing, is one-and-a-half stories high and 22 by. It is faced in clapboard, except for the north wall which is rough stone. It has two original Dutch doors, with their hinges. There is also an enclosed porch.</p><br>
<p>The 34 by main wing is two and a half stories, faced in stone with a brick front, both painted white. It has a porch running the full length of all five front bays. The main entrance leads into a ground floor with four large rooms, each with its own original fireplace and wooden mantel. The six chimneys in both wings pierce gabled roofs shingled in asphalt. The house has a full cellar as well.</p><br>
<p>Three outbuildings remain on the property: a small barn, a large stable and a wellhouse. All three are remnants of the farming operations, and are considered contributing resources to the Register listing.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>There may have been a house on the site in the late 1730s, when Isaac Van Deursen became the first European settler in the upper Ramapo River valley. The current wing may actually have been this house or part of it, since it is very primitive.</p><br>
<p>Traditionally, histories of the area have dated the house&#39;s original wing to 1755, when Stephen Sloat received the land as a wedding gift from his father-in-law. An early frame front was probably on the front of the house through the Revolution, which affected both the house and the Sloat family.</p><br>
<p>In 1774, a local meeting at the house, the General Meeting of Committees of Orange County, chose two delegates, Henry Wisner and John Haring, to the Provincial Convention of the First Continental Congress. George Washington had his headquarters at the house on June 6, 1779, and likely made other visits during the Revolutionary War.</p><br>
<p>Tragedy struck the Sloats in 1781 when their son John, a captain in the local militia, was accidentally shot and killed in the doorway by one of the sentries his father had hired. The marks left in the doorway by the shots remain. The infant son Sloat left behind grew up to be John D. Sloat, a celebrated USA Navy commodore and the first governor of California.</p><br>
<p>Isaac Sloat, Johns brother, later built the front of the house around 1813–14. He ran it as a public house, also hosting annual meetings of town supervisors and judges from Orange and Rockland counties through 1821. His son Stephen ran the house as an inn along the Orange Turnpike, renowned for its food but serving no alcoholic beverages. At this point the large barn was also built. Stephens brother Jacob developed a mill along the creek and later built his own house in the village.</p><br>
<p>In 1905 the Sloat descendants sold the house to Benjamin Moffatt Jr., an English immigrant who later became president of the nearby Sterling iron works. It remained in the Moffatt family throughout the 20th century and is still a private residence.</p><br>
<p>Biedermans Cabin, also known as Biedermans Fish Camp, is a privately owned cabin on the Yukon River in Alaska. Located within the Yukon-Charley Rivers National Preserve, it is maintained as a historic site representing the subsistence lifestyle employed by Interior Alaska residents during the early years of the 20th century and is one of the few structures within the preserve.</p><br>
<h2>Construction</h2><br>
<p>The cabin was built in 1916 by Max Adolphus "Ed" Biederman for his family. Biederman was an immigrant to the United States from Bohemia, and was attracted to Alaska in 1899 by the Nome Gold Rush. After failing to strike it rich, Biederman became a sled dog driver instead. In 1912, he began running the Eagle to Circle mail route along the Yukon River. In 1916, he constructed the 31 ft-long log cabin and roofed it with sod. That year, his first daughter, Nellie Biederman, was born in the building.</p><br>
<p>Between 1916 and 1938, the Biederman family used the cabin as their summer residence after spending winters in Eagle while Ed ran his dog team and used the cabin as a waypoint between the two locations. Because other winter travelers needed a place to stay during the winter, Biederman constructed a small bunk house away from the cabin. To provide food for the many dogs Biederman owned as a result of the mail route, the family used the cabin as a fish camp and installed two fish wheels to catch salmon swimming upstream during the spawning season. Other additions were made to the cabin, including a tin roof to replace the sod and an Arctic entry. In 1938, the dog sled mail route was discontinued, and in 1945, Ed Biederman died.</p><br>
<h2>Use as shelter</h2><br>
<p>After Biedermans death, the cabin fell into relative disuse by the family, though winter travelers continued to seek shelter in it. In 1984, the Yukon Quest, a 1,000-mile sled dog race between Fairbanks, Alaska, and Whitehorse, Yukon, chose the cabin as an official rest area along the trail. Though the cabins official status has been superseded by nearby Slaven&#39;s Cabin, which is run by the National Park Service, it continues to serve as an informal hospitality stop for competitors in the race.</p><br>
<p>A nearby wildfire threatened the cabin in 2007, and the National Park Service installed temporary sprinklers at the site as a preventative measure.</p><br>
