<p>The 1920s Mediterranean Revival house is at 14 Audubon Boulevard, a short distance back from Willow Street and the Tulane University campus.</p><br>
<p>It was formerly owned by Louisiana Governor Huey P. Long, although Long only occasionally resided here. The house is still privately owned.</p><br>
<p>It is a pink stuccoed house built of concrete blocks. According to its NRHP nomination, its architecture "borrows from several</p><br>
<p>Mediterranean styles without being heavily in debt to any of them":The crested broken pediments in the foyer, the scrolled brincaded entrance arch, and the red tile roof are attributable to the Spanish churrigueresque style. The groups of round arches set on Persian columns are attributable to the Byzantine style. The hooded classical style mantels in the front rooms are attributable to the Italian Renaissance. There are also bottle glass windows and heavily cut and paneled doors. The rear sunroom has a marble floor and arches which lead to the balustraded patio.</p><br>
<p>It was designed by architects Weil, Benson and Bendernagel, a firm asserted to be one of New Orleans&#39; leading architectural firms of the 20th century.</p><br>

<p>The Silver Bay Association Complex, known as Silver Bay YMCA Conference and Family Retreat Center, has been in operation since 1902. The YMCA campus is located in the hamlet of Silver Bay, New York, United States. In 1897, Silas Paine, a Standard Oil executive, vacationed at the resort and decided to buy a portion of land adjacent to the property. In 1898, Silas had a large resort addition linked to the original house, and between 1900 and 1901 he added several cottages to the complex. The structure was bought by the YMCA in 1904, and assumed its final, well-preserved form during expansions between 1925 and 1926 under the supervision of architect William E. Clark . The complex was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on March 20, 1980. Architecturally, the Inn at Silver Bay is described as being in the Queen Anne style.</p><br>

<p>The William Campbell House in Stamping Ground, Kentucky, also known as the Campbell-Gayle House, is an early house believed to have been built in c.1790-1800. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.</p><br>
<p>It is notable as a "unique early house of brick nogging-filled half timber construction with a beaded clapboard-covered main facade and a steeply pitched roof."</p><br>
<p>The exterior of the brick nogging (infill between the timbers) is plastered with stucco while the timbers are not; this is unusual as the only house in Kentucky known to have this feature. The 32 ft by 28 ft house also has a steep roof and just one window each for the two front rooms. The appearance of the house is much like historic Colonial dwellings in the eastern colonies. The construction is thus dated to pioneer era and perhaps the 18th century.</p><br>
<p>The Winslow Chemical Laboratory, now known as the Winslow Building, is a building on the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute campus in Troy, New York, United States, which finished construction in 1866. It is named in honor of the 5th President of RPI, John F. Winslow, who donated half of the construction cost. The building is brick with stone trimmings and was originally constructed with butternut, chestnut and black walnut. The whole building was fitted for complete courses in general and analytical chemistry. The design and construction was overseen by Professor Henry B. Nason, head of the department of chemistry at the Institute. The lower story contained a metallurgical laboratory and second story contained a chemical laboratory, store rooms and work rooms. The laboratory could accommodate about 40 students. The third story contained a lecture room, a private study, the library and a recitation room. The library of chemical books was established by a donation of several sets of journals and a gift of three hundred dollars from John F. Winslow.</p><br>
<p>The laboratory was damaged by a fire in the upper story in 1884 and was rebuilt and enlarged in 1885. The building was again damaged by fire in 1904. It was used as a laboratory until 1907 and then converted into a shop. The building, falling into disrepair, was boarded up in the early 1970s and targeted for demolition. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on November 4, 1990. As an effort to save the building, it was agreed with the city of Troy that the building would be leased to house a new children&#39;s science museum called the Junior Museum. The Junior Museum refurbished the Winslow building and opened its doors in 2000 and remained there until 2004 before moving out. RPI repossessed the building soon after for use as office space. Currently the Winslow Building is home to many research groups affiliated to Cognitive Science and Computer science departments of Rensselaer, namely, the Rensselaer AI and Reasoning Laboratory, the Social and Behavioral Research Laboratory, the Tetherless World Constellation (since 2007), etc.</p><br>

<p>Inlow Hall, the administration building at Eastern Oregon University in La Grande, Oregon, United States, was built in 1929. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places as the Administration Building in 1980.</p><br>
<p>It was built originally as the Eastern Oregon State Normal School. The building "is a modern adaptation of Italian Renaissance palatial architecture and includes a formal grand stair with overlook terrace. Originally... it housed all functions appropriate to a teacher training institution until a separate unit, J. H. Ackerman Laboratory School, was added to the campus in 1935."</p><br>
<p>The Glens Falls Feeder Canal is a canal from Glens Falls, New York, United States through Hudson Falls and into Fort Edward. It is 7 mi long and delivers water from above Glens Falls on the Hudson River to the highest point of the Champlain Canal. The Feeder Canal Heritage Trail runs along a large part of the canal.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The first Feeder Canal was constructed around 1822 at the foot of Fort Edward Hill, to direct water from the Hudson River 1/2 mi east to the Champlain Canal. When a flood destroyed part of the dam across the Hudson River at Fort Edward, the feeder canal failed to provide enough water.</p><br>
<p>In 1824 a new dam was built across the Hudson River upstream of Glens Falls and digging of the Glens Falls Feeder Canal began. It ran 7 mi eastward to join the Champlain Canal, guaranteeing adequate water at its highest elevation.</p><br>
<p>In 1832, the Feeder Canal was widened and deepened to accommodate boat traffic as well. Thirteen masonry locks were constructed to overcome the 130 ft vertical drop east of Sandy Hill (now called Hudson Falls). This engineering feat includes the "Five Combines" Locks in Hudson Falls (at the intersection of Pine Street and Burgoyne Avenue. The Combine Locks lower water 55 vertical feet (55 ft). The locks were 15 ft wide and 100 ft long; these dimensions controlled the size of canal boats in the Champlain Canal system while the locks were in use. The present-day Champlain Barge Canal eliminated the need for boat traffic on the Feeder Canal in the early 1900s.</p><br>
<h2>Present day</h2><br>
<p>Today the canal is still an important source of water for the Champlain Canal as well as the Finch Pruyn & Company Paper Mill, which lies just east of the start of the Canal in Glens Falls. It is maintained by the New York State Canal Corporation.</p><br>
<p>The canal is a popular destination for canoeing and kayaking. A 7 mi long park/trail along the old canal towpath is frequented by tourists and joggers and cyclists. The canal was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1985. The not-for-profit Feeder Canal Alliance was formed in 1987 to preserve, promote and maintain the Feeder Canal.</p><br>
<p>The William E. Alden House is a historic house at 428 Hamilton Street in Southbridge, Massachusetts. Built in 1882 for a prominent local businessman, it is a fine example of a modest home with Queen Anne and Stick style decoration. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The William E. Alden House is located north east of Southbridge&#39;s Globe Village, on the north side of Hamilton Street between its junctions with Hill and Oliver Streets. It is a story wood-frame structure, with a complex gabled roof and mostly clapboarded exterior. It has a fairly typical Queen Anne Victorian asymmetrical arrangement of projections, and a porch with turned posts and a spindled valance that extends across part of the front and left sides. Some of the gables have been clad in decorative shingles, and have Stick style woodwork adorning them. At the rear of the property is a period carriage house, finished in board and batten siding. It is topped by a gable roof with cupola, and has a decorative balcony on its main facade.</p><br>
<p>The house was built in 1882 for William E. Alden, Jr., who ran a dry goods business and grocery in the Alden Block, which he and his father had built. At the time of its construction, the house was the only building on that stretch of Hamilton Street, with the exception of the church next door and another smaller house. Although it is not the most elaborate of Southbridge&#39;s period houses, it is a well-preserved example of a more modest home of the time.</p><br>
<p>The Alden-Delehanty Block is a historic commercial block at 858 Main Street in Southbridge, Massachusetts. Completed in 1888, it is the largest commercial building built in the town&#39;s Globe Village area, and is one of its most imposing Victorian edifices. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Alden-Delehanty Block is the largest of the modest collection of 19th and 20th-century commercial buildings that make up Globe Village. It is located on the north side of Main Street (Massachusetts Route 131) at its junction with Pleasant Street. It is three stories in height, built out red brick with stone trim. Its ground floor is divided into three now-unified store fronts, separated by brick piers with some stone elements. Each storefront has three plateglass windows, with entrance gained via the main building entrance. The upper floors have eleven window bays, those on the second floor set in segmented-arch openings with stone shoulders and keystones. The windows in the outer bays on the third floor are set in rectangular openings with peaked lintels, while two of the center three bays have narrow paired round-arch windows. The last bay, above the main entrance, matches those on the second floor. The building has a corbelled brickwork cornice, and a stepped parapet above the central bays, with a panel bearing the name Alden.</p><br>
<p>The block was built in 1888 for William E. Alden, who operated a dry goods store on the first floor. The building originally housed shops on the ground floor, offices on the second, and a meeting hall space on the third floor. The latter was used for a time by the Ancient Order of Hibernians, and has been known as Hibernia Hall. The building was acquired in 1899 by John Delehanty, who owned a furniture store that had expanded to occupy the entire building. Except for some minor alterations to the cornice and parapet, the exterior of the building is unaltered from its initial construction.</p><br>
<p>The Ammidown-Harding Farmhouse is a historic farm house at 83 Lebanon Hill Road in Southbridge, Massachusetts. Built sometime in the 18th century, it is one of Southbridge&#39;s few surviving houses from that time. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1989. It is named for two of its notable residents, Cyrus Ammidown and Elbridge Harding, both of whom served as deacons in the Baptist church.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Ammidown-Harding House is located in a rural area of southern Southbridge, on the east side of Lebanon Hill Road south of Elmwood Road. Lebanon Hill Road, originally a Native American trail, is one of the community&#39;s oldest roads. The house is stories in height, with a gabled roof, large central chimney, and clapboarded exterior. Its main facade is four bays wide, with the entrance in the bay right of center.</p><br>
<p>The house&#39;s date of construction is uncertain; the earliest maps of Southbridge are from 1796, and the house appears on those. Its architectural features, notably a center chimney and a short four-bay facade, suggest that it was built in the years before or just after the American Revolutionary War. Other features that set the building apart are overhanging eaves and a transom window over the front door. The barn, a 19th-century construction with a cupola, bracketed eaves, and tongue and groove doors, is also a contributing feature.</p><br>
<p>The first documented owner was Cyrus Ammidown, a descendant of early settlers of the area; he also appears in local records as one of the first deacons in the local Baptist church, founded in 1817. Elbridge Harding, who owned the property by the 1860s, was the son of Joshua Harding, one of the petitioners to the state for the incorporation of Southbridge.</p><br>
<p>The Ashland Mill Tenement is a historic tenement at 141-145 Ashland Avenue in Southbridge, Massachusetts. Built about 1835, this unassuming rowhouse is one of the oldest documented factory-related buildings in the city. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Ashland Mill Tenement is located east of downtown Southbridge, at the junction of Ashland Avenue and Sandersdale Road (Massachusetts Route 131).</p><br>
<p>It is an architecturally unassuming two story wood-frame construction, with a gable roof and clapboarded exterior. It has three units of housing, arrayed townhouse-style; the south side of each unit is two bays wide, with a sash window and simply framed entry on the first floor, and a brick chimney on one side. A shed-roof dormer (apparently original to the building construction) provides additional space on the second floor to each unit. The north side facades have porches sheltering the unit entrances.</p><br>
<p>The earliest known industrial use in the area of this building was a blacksmithy, which was operating in 1815. A cotton mill was established on nearby Lebanon Brook in 1834, and this tenement was probably soon afterward. It was apparently one of three such tenements built for the mill workers, and is the only surviving structure of that enterprise. In 1874, a printing operation was established on the brook, with this building probably providing housing for that business&#39;s workers.</p><br>
<p>The first known examples of housing built for mill workers in Southbridge were built about 1815, but neither the buildings nor descriptions of them have survived. The only factory housing of similar vintage in Southbridge are brick buildings built c. 1837 for the Hamilton Woolen Mill, which has more elaborate Greek Revival styling.</p><br>
<p>Beechwood is a historic house at 495 Main Street in Southbridge, Massachusetts. Built in 1868, it is prominent locally as a fine early example of Stick style architecture, and as one of the first houses to be built that became one of the city&#39;s upper-class neighborhoods. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Beechwood is located near the transition point on the west side of downtown Southbridge between its commercial area and adjacent residential parts of Main Street. It is set on the south side of Main Street, between South and Marcy Streets. It is a -story wood-frame structure, with a complex cross-gabled roof configuration and a mostly clapboarded exterior. The roof is covered in multi-colored slate, and is mainly a side gable, although a clipped gable facing front ends a perpendicular ridge set atop a projecting section. The roof eave is adorned in places with brackets, and in the front-facing gable with bargeboard. A single-story porch shelters the left section of the main facade; it has paneled square posts, a low balustrade, and open-spandrel arches. Windows on the projecting right-side section are separated from each other by decorative wooden paneling.</p><br>
<p>The house was built in 1868 as a wedding gift from Jedidah Marcy to his granddaughter, and was one of the first houses of the early Victorian style to be built in Southbridge. It was also one of the first built in that section of Southbridge, an area that would not be fully developed until the 1890s. Its porch, while typical of later buildings, shows details that are indicative of the earlier Italianate styling. The Marcys were descendants of one of Southbridge&#39;s early settlers, and the house was built nearly across the street from the family homestead (where the Notre Dame Church now stands).</p><br>
<p>The Alexis Boyer House is a historic house at 306 Hamilton Street in Southbridge, Massachusetts. Built in 1888, it is a good local example of Queen Anne/Stick style architecture. It was built for Alexis Boyer, a political leader in the city&#39;s sizable French Canadian community. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Alexis Boyer House is located in a residential area near its larger historic mill complexes, on the north side of Hamilton Street opposite its junction with Pine Street. It is a -story wood-frame structure, with a gabled roof and mostly clapboarded exterior. A cross-gabled section projects from the middle of the right side, and there are two gabled wall dormers on the left side. Most of these gables are decorated with elaborate stickwork. A single-story porch extends across the front and around to the right-side projection, with a peaked gable above the front stairs. It also has a feature otherwise unusual for Queen Anne houses, an exterior rear staircase, which is believed to have originated among the French Canadians.</p><br>
<p>The house was built in 1888 for Alexis Boyer, a builder and political leader of the sizable French Canadian community in Southbridge. The immediate neighborhood had developed as a French Canadian enclave due to the presence of a Catholic church that catered to that group. Boyer is known to have built a significant number of triple decker residences in the city. His political activities included service in the state legislature and on the state Democratic Party organizing committee. The house is architecturally distinguished for its relatively rare surviving gable trim.</p><br>
<p>The Building at 25–27 River Street in Southbridge, Massachusetts, is one of two similar triple-deckers built during a housing boom related to the success of the nearby Hamilton Woolen Company. The relatively plain form of these buildings is in contrast to earlier, more ornate styles that preceded their construction. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>25–27 River Street is located east of the former Hamilton Woolen Company plant, on the south side of River Street between Oliver and Cross Streets. It is a three-story wood frame structure, with a gabled roof and an exterior of modern siding. Its front facade is mostly covered by a three-level porch, each level supported by round columns. The building original had a spindled balustrade, but this has been replaced by sided construction. The main entrance to the building is via a three-level porch on the right side, with outside stairs providing access to the upper floors. The roof is flat, with a projecting but relatively plain cornice.</p><br>
<p>This building was erected sometime between 1910 and 1920, these years following the construction of the Hamilton Company&#39;s "New Mill" across the street. The economic success of the Hamilton Company and its accompanying construction was in contrast to other Massachusetts mill communities, which went into decline during this period. The mill across the street was shuttered in 1935 following a strike. Of six triple deckers built in the 1910s and 1920s on River Street, only it and 29-31 River Street remain.</p><br>

Of six such houses built in the 1910s and 1920s on River Street, only it and 25-27 River Street remain. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989, since when its historic integrity has been compromised.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>29–31 River Street is located east of the former Hamilton Woolen Company plant, on the south side of River Street between Oliver and Cross Streets. It is a three-story wood frame structure, with a gabled roof and an exterior of modern siding. Its front facade was once mostly covered by a three-level porch, each level supported by round columns; the upper porches have been removed. The main entrances to the building are via a pair of doors in the surviving ground-floor porch. The roof is flat, with a projecting but relatively plain cornice, and an extension over where the porches were located.

Both have had their historic integrity compromised by exterior changes; in the case of this building, removal of the porches and application of modern siding is particularly significant.</p><br>
<p>The Building at 38–42 Worcester Street is a historic six-unit triple decker in Southbridge, Massachusetts. Built sometime between 1878 and 1898, it has features influenced by the area&#39;s then-growing French Canadian immigrant population, including its outside porches. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>38–42 Worcester Street is located in the area north of downtown Southbridge known as "The Flats", which was heavily developed beginning in the late 1880s with densely built worker housing. It is a three-story wood frame structure, with a low-pitch roof that extends over a porch that extends across the front and halfway down each side. The porch is accessed via front-facing stairs at either end, and shelters outside stairs that provide access to each of the building&#39;s six units. This type of porch is found in other buildings of Southbridge that were built by or for French Canadian immigrants. The original porch had turned posts that gave it a lacy Victorian appearance, a detail that has since been lost.</p><br>
<p>The house was built sometime between 1878 and 1898, when development of The Flats was begun to provide additional housing for workers at the American Optical Company, one of Southbridge&#39;s leading employers. By 1898 the area had several clusters of closely built three-deckers, of which this was one. In the early years of the 20th century, the area was developed more intensively, filling in the gaps with more three-deckers. Of the ones built during the first phase of development, this one is the best preserved.</p><br>
<p>The Building at 52 Main Street is a historic triple decker residence in Southbridge, Massachusetts. Built early in the 20th century, it is a good example of period worker housing with French Canadian immigrant design features. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>52 Main Street is located east of downtown Southbridge, on the north side of Main Street between Maple and Crystal Streets. It was built during a housing boom brought about by the success of the nearby American Optical Company, during which larger house lots on Main Street were subdivided and built on with this type of worker housing. In this instance, the present three-story building was built as a replacement for an older two-family residence. This building is of wood frame construction, with a clapboarded exterior and low-pitch gable roof, and is set on a brick foundation. Its network of exterior porches is a locally distinctive feature brought by French Canadian immigrants, wrapping around two sides of the house and sheltering staircases that provide outside access to the upper level residential units. These types of porches are commonly found on surviving triple deckers of the first two decades of the 20th century. The porch railings were originally in the more delicately featured Queen Anne style, with turned posts bracketed at their tops and spindled balusters, but those have been replaced by square posts and balusters.</p><br>
<p>The Central Mills Historic District encompasses a historic mill complex on the Quinebaug River in central Southbridge, Massachusetts. Located at the corner of Foster and North Streets, the site consists of three brick buildings, the oldest of which has portions dating to 1837. Despite being extensively rebuilt in the early 20th century, the complex has an appearance that is more typical of 19th century mills.</p><br>
<p>The Central Manufacturing Company was established in 1837, and was one of Southbridges major employers well into the 20th century. The company built its premises on the site of Southbridges earliest grist- and sawmills, and the town grew around the facility. By late in the 19th century most New England textile mills were in decline, due to increased competition in the South. However, Central Manufacturing embarked on a major renovation of its plant in 1908. It knocked a significant portion of the 1837 plant, and built the present two story brick structure, with the surviving 1837 section attached to its rear. The building is in the Romanesque Revival style, with rounded arch windows and a small tower.</p><br>
<p>In addition to the main factory building, there are two other buildings in the complex. One is a small single story office building, also built in 1908 and with Romanesque Revival styling. This building is on the same parcel as the main building. The third building is a more utilitarian brick warehouse, built 1915, which is located across North Street (but also fronting on Foster) from the main building.</p><br>
<p>The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.</p><br>
<p>The Centre Village Historic District encompasses the historic central business district of Southbridge, Massachusetts. The district includes properties on Main Street, roughly between Elm and Goddard Streets. The central area represents a fairly well preserved Late Victorian commercial center. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The area that is now the city of Southbridge was settled in 1713, and was incorporated out of portions of Sturbridge and Charlton in 1816. Its center was long a civic meeting space, with a meeting house at the site of the present Central Baptist Church, and the adjacent cemetery. Its industrial development also began early, with sawmills and gristmills on the banks of the Quinebaug River. In the 19th century, the city experienced rapid growth, as the waters of the river were harnessed for the manufacture of textiles and optical equipment. Main Street (now Massachusetts Route 131) developed as both a commercial center, and as the place were the city&#39;s business leaders built their homes. The result is a central commercial area with commercial architecture dating from the 1840s to the 1910s, along with a series of high-quality homes of the same period.</p><br>
<p>The historic district extends along Main Street for about 0.4 mi, from Hamilton Street in the west to Coombs Street in the east. Anchoring the east end of the district is the 1810s house of Ebenezer Ammidown, whose family one of the leading forces in the creation of both the city&#39;s mills and its downtown. The house now serves as a local cultural center. Prominent at the western end of the district is the former Universalist Church, a Greek Revival structure built about 1840. Commercial buildings lining Main Street in between date mainly from 1840 to 1900, and are a combination of wood-frame and brick buildings in a diversity of styles. Prominent civic buildings include the Jacob Edwards Library, a fine Georgian Revival building built in 1914 to a design by Chicago architect Daniel Burnham.</p><br>
<p>The Chamberlain-Bordeau House is a historic house at 718 Main Street in Southbridge, Massachusetts. Built sometime between 1855 and 1870, it is one of the best preserved Italianate houses in the city. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Chamberlain-Bordeau House is located west of downtown Southbridge, on the north side of Main Street (Massachusetts Route 131) near its junction with Sayles Street. It is a somewhat boxy two-story wood-frame structure, with a shallow pitch hip roof and clapboarded exterior. The roof has deep eaves with paired Italianate brackets., and the building corners have wooden quoin blocks. The main entrance is sheltered by a hip-roof portico supported by grouped columns with brackets forming an arch. Windows are rectangular sash, with projecting window caps.</p><br>
<p>The land on which the house stands originally belonged to the Plimpton family, who were among Southbridge&#39;s first settlers. A Plimpton house, differing in placement and orientation, is recorded as standing on this property in an 1855 map. This house was built sometime between 1855 and 1870 for Captain John Chamberlain, an insurance agent. In the 1890s it was acquired by Gilbert Bordeau, a box maker, who owned it until 1920. At the time of its construction it was the only house on the north side of that section of Main Street; development of the rest of the immediate area followed in the next few decades.</p><br>
<p>The Chapin Block is a historic commercial building at 208-222 Hamilton Street in Southbridge, Massachusetts. Built in 1888, it is the only Shingle style commercial building in Southbridge. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Chapin Block is located in Globe Village, a predominantly residential area just north of Southbridges downtown, occupying a narrow plot of land at the junction of Hamilton and Crane Streets. The building is set to advantage on the oddly-shaped narrow triangular lot, giving the building a flatiron appearance with a rounded point. It is a two-story wood-frame structure, with a small tower (that once held a clock) at the point were Hamilton and Crane Streets meet. It is finished in wooden shingles, and has a modillioned cornice. There are four storefronts on the front of the building (facing Hamilton Street), each with plate glass windows flanking recessed entries. This layout dates to the early 20th century. On the Crane Street side, the buildings brick basement is exposed, providing a series of building entrances at that level. The first floor on that side is largely plain, while the second floor has a projecting balcony.</p><br>
<p>The block was built in 1888 by Francis Chapin, a local bank officer and real estate developer, and provided local shops for the area residential neighborhood, and a meeting hall on the second floor. Early occupants of the retail spaces included a candy store, barber, tobacconist, and clothing store. It was sold by Chapin shortly after its construction to J. J. Delahanty, owner of a local furniture store; it remained in his family until 1972.</p><br>
<p>The Alpha M. Cheney House is a historic house at 61 Chestnut Street in Southbridge, Massachusetts. It was built in 1881 for Alpha M. Cheney, then one of the largest shareholders in American Optical Company, one of Southbridges largest employers. Designed by Barker & Nourse of Worcester, the house is one of Southbridges best surviving examples of high Victorian Gothic styling. The property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Alpha M. Cheney (1834-1897) was the son of a local deacon, and received his education at Nichols Academy before beginning employment in the spectacle manufacturing trade. He acquired an interest in R. H. Cole, probably after working there, and was one of the principals in the founding in 1869 of the American Optical Company. At his death he was reported to have "a large amount of property including one of the finest private residences in Southbridge."</p><br>
<p>Cheney&#39;s house occupies a large lot at the northeast corner of Chestnut and Cisco Streets in a residential area east of downtown Southbridge. The house is stories in height, with steep gables that are ornamented with Stick style decorations. It has a turret with a projecting gables on the four sides of the steep roof, and a projecting front porch with ornamented railings and turned posts. The property also includes a carriage house that was built around the same time, and is similarly styled.</p><br>
<p>The house was built in 1881 to a design by Barker & Nourse of Worcester. At the time, Chestnut Street only had a few houses on it, including a series of houses across the street which Cheney had apparently built as worker housing on his estate. This was a common means by which other leading businessmen in Southbridge provided housing for their workers.</p><br>
<p>The J. M. Cheney Rental House is a historic house at 32 Edwards Street in Southbridge, Massachusetts. It is a well-preserved vernacular Victorian house exhibiting details in a number of different styles. It was built in the late 19th century, during a second phase of construction in the Hamilton Street area that replaced larger properties of wealthier owners with smaller, more densely site, middle-class housing. This house was built for J. M. Cheney, treasurer of the Litchfield Shuttle Company, who owned several properties in the area, including the adjacent Kinney House, and also lived nearby. There is no hard evidence the property was intended for use as a rental, but this seems likely.</p><br>
<p>The basic house layout, a three-wide side-hall plan, was typical of the period, but the house&#39;s ornamentation is not. The window caps and the rounded gable window are Italianate in styling, but there is also a steeply pointed Gothic-style gable dormer, and the gable ends are decorated with Stick style ornaments. The front porch exhibits both Italianate and Queen Anne styling, with turned posts, brackets, and a decorative rectangular patterned balustrade.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.</p><br>
<p>Keāhole Point is the westernmost point of the island of Hawaii. The Kona International Airport was moved here from directly north of the town of Kailua-Kona in 1970, when the previous smaller airstrip was converted into the Old Kona Airport State Recreation Area. The name comes from Ke āhole since the āhole fish  was found nearby.</p><br>
<p>Between the airport and the coast lies the Natural Energy Laboratory of Hawaii. Most of the land was formed in 1801 by the Huehue lava flow from Hualālai. This flow extended the shoreline out an estimated 1 mile, adding some 4 km of land to the island. The southern part of this point is sometimes referred to as Kalihi Point.</p><br>
<p>The Ahupuaa (ancient name of the community in this area) was Kalaoa, still used by the census.</p><br>
<p>The site includes a house platform, a walled enclosure, a debris pile with volcanic glass and marine shells, and a larger wall.</p><br>
<p>Probably the home of a common family, an excavation in 1975 estimated occupation from about 1500 to 1800.Ross Cordy, "A Study of Prehistoric Social Change: The Development of</p><br>
<p>Complex Societies in the Hawaiian Islands". Academic Press, New York</p><br>
<p>On January 14, 1989, the Kalaoa Permanent House Site was put on the state register of historic places as site number 10-27-10,205. On November 21, 1992, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places as site number 92001552. It was described as site 81 in a 1930 survey by Reinecke, and site 8 in a 1975 survey by Rosendahl & Kirch, and site HA-D15-12 on a state survey. Just south of this area is the area known as Ooma.</p><br>
<p>The Clarke–Glover Farmhouse is a historic house at 201 South Street in Southbridge, Massachusetts. Built about 1830, it is a good local example of Greek Revival architecture. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Clarke–Glover Farmhouse is located in a predominantly residential area west of downtown Southbridge, at the southwest corner of South and High Street, on a large level lot fringed by iron fencing. It is a -story wood-frame structure, with a front-facing gabled roof and clapboarded exterior. The building corners have paneled pilasters rising to a full entablature and fully pedimented gable. The main facade is three bays wide, with the main entrance in the right bay. It is recessed in a paneled opening, which is framed by pilasters and topped by a peaked gable. Within the recess, the door, a modern replacement, is flanked by sidelight windows. A two-story ell extends to the rear.</p><br>
<p>The area where the Clarke-Glover house was built was primarily farmland until the early 19th century, when South Street began to be lined by houses of established and well-to-do families on spacious lots. This house was built c. 1830 by Lemuel Clarke, on land that once belonged to his father, Moses Clarke. When originally built it probably had Federal styling, but this was modified sometime thereafter during the Greek Revival, which is its present style. After Clarke died in 1845 the house was acquired by R. Glover, who is thought to have done the remodeling. Glover owned the house through much of the second half of the 19th century.</p><br>
<p>The E. Merritt Cole House is a historic house at 386 Main Street in Southbridge, Massachusetts. Built in the early 19th century and restyled sometime between 1855 and 1878, it is a distinctive local example of Gothic Revival architecture. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The E. Merritt Cole House is located adjacent to Southbridge&#39;s central business district, on an isolated lot that is accessed from the parking lot in front belonging to Consumer Auto Parts as of 2021. It is a -story wood-frame structure, with a gabled roof and clapboarded exterior. Portions of the exterior have the siding applied either vertically or at an angle, and there are panels decorated with diamond motifs. The main facade is three bays wide, and is dominated by a central two-story gabled portico, supported by square posts. A single-story porch extends to the right side, and a secondary entrance on the left side is sheltered by a gabled portico.</p><br>
<p>The house was built in the early 1800s by Jacob Edwards, and acquired its present Gothic Revival appearance as the result of a renovation between 1855 and 1878. This work was done for E. Merritt Cole, treasurer and a founding shareholder of the American Optical Company, a major local employer. The house&#39;s distinctive styling appears to have been an inspiration for similar but more vernacular treatments on worker housing in the area. The house was briefly turned into a law office in the 1990s into the early 2000s.</p><br>
<p>The Comins-Wall House is a historic house located at 42 Hamilton Street in Southbridge, Massachusetts. Built about 1850, it is a distinctive local example of a Greek Revival cottage with later Victorian embellishments. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on June 22, 1989.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Comins-Wall House is located in Southbridge&#39;s central business district, on the east side of Hamilton Street near its junction with Hook Street. It is a -story wood-frame structure, with a gabled roof. Its front facade is finished in wooden clapboards, and the sides are covered in asphalt shingle siding. Its corners have pilasters, which rise to an entablature that runs along the sides. The front facade is three bays wide, with the entrance in the left bay and two sash windows to its right; another two sash windows are found in the gable above. The entrance is framed by sidelight and transom windows, slight recessed in an opening with flanked by slender paneled pilasters. A single-story porch extends across the front, with chamfered square posts rising to decorative jigsawn brackets.</p><br>
<p>The -story Greek Revival cottage is estimated to have been built in 1850, probably for a J. Comins, who was listed as its owner in 1855. The cottage, a fairly typical middle-class house of the period, is a rare survivor of a fire that swept the area in 1863. The front porch was probably added in the 1880s. This change may have been made by George F. Wall, a tailor and cloth dealer who owned it in the 1870s.</p><br>
<p>The E. B. Cummings House is a historic house at 52 Marcy Street in Southbridge, Massachusetts. Built in the 1870s, it is an unusually late example of Greek Revival architecture with Italianate embellishments and later Victorian additions. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on June 22, 1989.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The E.B. Cummings House is located in a residential area northwest of downtown Southbridge, at the southwest corner of Marcy and Edward Streets. It is the smallest but best preserved house of those at this corner, which was a fashionable residential area in the mid to late 19th century. The house is a -story wood-frame structure, with a gabled roof and clapboarded exterior. Despite a construction date well past the typical period for Greek Revival styling, the house has paneled corner pilasters, and sidelight and transom windows around the door, elements characteristic of that style. It also has Italianate details such as double brackets in the eaves, roof pitch, and front porch. A number of other elements, such as the second floor bay window, are later additions.</p><br>
<p>The house was built in the 1870s for Edwin B. Cummings, co-owner of a hardware store on Main Street. The neighborhood had been a desirable location for the citys business elite since the 1850s, and the neighbors were either prominent local businessmen or agents for the citys mills. The other houses at the corner, while of greater size and originally more stylish, have had their historic integrity compromised by the application of synthetic siding.</p><br>
<p>Dennison School House is a historic school building  at Dennison Lane in Southbridge, Massachusetts. Built about 1849, it is the city&#39;s only surviving rural district schoolhouse built in brick. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The former Dennison School House is located in a rural setting of southwestern Southbridge, on the east side of Dennison Lane near its junction with Dennison Crossing. It is a modest -story brick structure, with a gabled roof. The main facade is three bays wide, with sash windows on either side of the entrance, which has a small transom window. A wood-frame ell extends to the right. The gable ends on the sides are framed in wood and finished in siding.</p><br>
<p>The building&#39;s location is believed to be the first place in Southbridge to be occupied by a school, because a school was documented to stand here in 1795, when the area was still part of Sturbridge. The present building is estimated to have been built in 1849, based on its modest Greek Revival design. It is unusual for the use of brick in its construction; the only other brick school from the period is the larger one in the city center. The building was probably originally built with its entrance at one of the gable ends, a typical placement for small schools. Only one other rural district school survives in the city; it is a heavily altered frame structure that has also been converted to residential use.</p><br>
<p>The Sylvester Dresser House is a historic house at 29 Summer Street in Southbridge, Massachusetts. Built sometime between 1865 and 1870, it is a distinctive local example of Italianate architecture with some Gothic features. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Sylvester Dresser House is located in a residential area just south of downtown Southbridge, on the north side of Summer Street. It is a 2-1/2 brick structure in a strong Italianate form, with a truncated hip roof. The blocky form with three bays, with the rounded arch entry and heavy balcony, are typical Italianate features, but the steeply pitched roof lines and Stick style decorative elements are more distinctly Gothic. The choice of brick as a building material is locally somewhat unusual, but not unexpected given that its builder owned brickyards at the time of its construction.</p><br>
<p>The house was built between 1865 and 1870 for Sylvester Dresser, a leading businessman in Southbridge during the second half of the 19th century. Dresser began his career as a schoolteacher, but operated a variety of businesses between the 1840s and 1860s. In 1865 he began operating a brickyard, eventually owning three in Southbridge and neighboring Dudley. He was notable for making the first shipment (a load of bricks) when the railroad arrived in Southbridge in 1866. He was also active in civic affairs, serving in a variety of public posts for the city.</p><br>
<p>The Dunbar-Vinton House is a historic house at Hook and Hamilton Streets in Southbridge, Massachusetts, USA. Probably built in the early 19th century, it is locally unusual for its brick construction at that time, and may have been built as a district schoolhouse. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Dunbar-Vinton House occupies a prominent site on the north side of downtown Southbridge, on the north side of the junction of Hook and Hamilton Streets. It is a -story brick building, with a gabled roof and two end chimneys. A wood-frame ell extends to the left side, covered by a shed roof and finished in wooden clapboards. The main facade has the entrance at the far right, topped by an elongated rounded window; there are two sash windows set in rectangular openings in the left half of the facade, with stone sills and lintels.</p><br>
<p>The date of this building&#39;s construction, and its original use, are both the subject of local speculation. The site was reported by 19th century historians to be the site of a school, but whether this building is the school in question or not is unclear. It structurally resembles a small schoolhouse, which lends credence to the theory. It is surmised to have been built by Captain Calvin Clemence, who died in 1828; the school was operated by a Mrs. Dunbar in the 1830s. In 1901, the house was reported to be occupied by Albert Vinton. The frame ell is a 20th-century addition, added in the 1970s.</p><br>
<p>The Henry E. Durfee Farmhouse is a historic Greek Revival farm house at 281 Eastford Road in Southbridge, Massachusetts. Built about 1849, it is a good example of Greek Revival architecture, and a reminder of the now suburban area&#39;s once agricultural past. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Henry E. Durfee Farmhouse is located south of downtown Southbridge, in a rural-residential area at the northeast corner of Eastford and Durfee Roads. Its basic plan is a -story three bay side hall configuration; the front facade has significant Greek Revival detailing, including corner pilasters and a recessed doorway with corniced lintel as well as transom and sidelight windows. There is a major addition on the left facade, extending two full stories. The ell extending to the rear has a large gabled dormer with similar features, and a shed-roof porch across its south side.</p><br>
<p>The house is, despite its now somewhat suburban setting, a reminder of the rural past of that portion of southern Southbridge. Construction of the house is estimated to have been in 1849, around the time of Henry Durfees marriage; the house was built on land that probably belonged to his mothers family. Its property was once much larger (over 100 acre), but has been reduced over the following years to now occupy less than one acre. The area was basically agrarian until the early 20th century.</p><br>
<p>The James Gleason Cottage is a historic house at 31 Sayles Street in Southbridge, Massachusetts. Built about 1830 for a local businessman, it is a regionally rare example of vernacular Gothic Revival architecture. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The James Gleason Cottage is located in Southbridge&#39;s Globe Village area, on the east side of Sayles Street near Ash Street. The house is a modest -story wood-frame structure with a steeply pitched gabled roof and clapboarded exterior. The main facade is three bays wide in the Greek Revival style, with corner pilasters and a pilastered entry in the left bay. A single-story porch extends across the front and right side, with bracketed square posts and turned balustrade. The front gable features a large recessed porch, its top consisting of an open Gothic arch. The right side has a gabled wall dormer projecting from the roof, and an ell extends to the rear.</p><br>
<p>The house is a rare regional example of a residential house with Greek Revival and Gothic Revival features. It was built c. 1830, probably for James Gleason, an owner of a successful grocery business in Globe Village. It was originally located nearer the corner of Main and Sayles Street, and was moved to its present location about 1900. It is now largely surrounded by parking lots of the adjacent medical center.</p><br>
<p>The Glover Street Historic District is a residential historic district in Southbridge, Massachusetts. The district encompasses a cluster of nineteen houses on or adjacent to Glover Street between High and Poplar Streets. The area was fully developed beginning in the first decades of the 20th century, filling in a previous round of development that had taken place in the 1890s. These houses were targeted at Southbridge&#39;s growing middle class.</p><br>
<p>The land on which Glover Street was laid out was originally part of the Clarke-Glover Farm. In the 1880s a series of Gothic style -story cottages were built at the northern end of Glover Street. Six of these in particular feature jigsaw-cut bargeboard trim decoration and are among the best preserved of their type in Southbridge. This period of development also saw construction of a house and barn with Italianate Victorian styling.</p><br>
<p>The second construction phase ran from the 1910s to the 1930s, and once again saw the construction of modestly sized houses in the styles of the period. Most of these structures are Colonial Revival in styling, although there is one house with some Bungalow/craftsman styling. The district includes one house that predates the development of Glover Street: a vernacular frame house dating to the early 19th century that faces High Street at its corner with Glover. That house may have been associated with the Clarkes whose land it was.</p><br>
<p>The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.</p><br>
<p>The Rogue River Ranch is a pioneer farm complex in Curry County in southwest Oregon, United States. The ranch is located on the north shore of the Rogue River just outside the Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest. The original ranch buildings were constructed by George Billings. Later, the ranch was sold to Stanley Anderson, who increased the size of the property and built additional farm buildings. The Bureau of Land Management bought the ranch in 1970. Today, the main ranch house is a museum. The Bureau of Land Management also maintains a campground on the property. The Rogue River Ranch is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Archeological evidence shows that Native Americans occupied the area around the Rogue River Ranch for over 9,000 years. Ancient Takelma speaking people were the first to make their home in Rogue River valley. Later, Athabascan speaking people migrated into the area. While their languages were different, both groups shared a common way of life based on fishing, hunting, and gathering. For thousands of years, the site that is now the Rogue River Ranch was a seasonal camp. However, it appears likely a permanent village was eventually established at the site. The Native American way of life along the Rogue River came to an end in 1856 when the native people were removed to reservations in northern Oregon.</p><br>
<p>In 1887, Tom Billings filed an official homestead claim on the north shore of the Rogue River at the mouth of Mule Creek. The following year, Tom transferred the claim to his older brother, George. In 1894, Tom and his wife, Anna, had their first child, a daughter named Marial. The settlement at Mule Creek was named Marial, after her.</p><br>
<p>In 1903, George Billings constructed a large two-story house and established the Billings Trading Company at Marial. Billings also ran a boarding house for travelers and local miners. Over time, the trading post became the center of commercial and social life for residents of Marial, who eventually number around 100 people. In 1907, Billings sold his property on the west side of Mule Creek, an area called Douglas Bar, to the Red River Mining and Milling Company. The next year, Billings built a barn on his remaining property. The building eventually became known as the tabernacle. Billings hosted dances and church services in the tabernacle. The Red River Mining Company closed in 1912, and Billings re-acquired the property on the west side of the creek. In 1931, Billings sold his 70 acre ranch to Stanley Anderson for $5,000.</p><br>
<p>The Bureau of Land Management established the Rogue River Ranch National Historic Site and converted the main house into a museum. The museum has displays on Native American history, the local mining era, the Billings homestead period, and the development of the Anderson family farm. The Rogue River Ranch museum is open to visits from May to October.</p><br>
<p>The Rogue River Ranch offers visitors the opportunity to experience the rich heritage of the Rogue River canyon area. Because the ranch played an important role in the commercial and social development of the local area, the Rogue River Ranch was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on 29 December 1975. This historic ranch covers 700 acre. There are four historic buildings on the property and six non-contributing structures.</p><br>
<h2>Structures</h2><br>
<p>There are four ranch buildings open to the public. They are the tackhouse, the blacksmith shop, the tabernacle, and the main house museum. There is also a caretaker&#39;s house, a large barn, and several minor farm buildings that are not open to the public.</p><br>
<p>The main house was built in 1903. It sits on a gentle slope facing Mule Creek. The house is a two-story, wood-frame structure. The lumber for the house was all cut by hand from Ponderosa pine logs cut on the site. The siding was smoothed with hand planes down to one quarter inch in thickness. The window glass was shipped overland from Portland, but the window frames were handmade at the ranch. The main house does not have a fireplace. It is heated by a wood-burning stove in the living room.</p><br>
<p>The other ranch buildings are also wood-frame structures with wood-lap siding. The Bureau of Land Management renovated the Tackhouse in 2008. The project replaced badly rotted framing members that had made the entire structure unsound.</p><br>
<h2>Location</h2><br>
<p>Rogue River Ranch National Historic Site is located in the Rogue River canyon in southern Oregon. The ranch is at the mouth of Mule Creek on the north shore of the Rogue River at an elevation of approximately 420 ft above sea level. It is an isolated property, surrounded by the Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest. The ranch is a major stop over point along the wild section of the Rogue River, which has been officially designated a National Wild and Scenic River.</p><br>
<p>The Rogue River Ranch is 45 mi northwest of Galice, 42 mi southwest of Glendale, 24 mi southeast of Powers, and 23 mi northeast of the small unincorporated community of Agness. It takes at least two hours to reach the ranch from any of these starting points. There are no gas stations along the route, so visitors driving to the ranch should depart with a full tank of gas. The nearest city is Grants Pass, which is 75 mi from the ranch by way of Galice or Glendale.</p><br>
<p>The ranch can also be reached by boating down the Rogue River or by hiking the Rogue River canyon trail. The ranch is 22 river miles from Grave Creek Bridge (which is 8 mi north of Galice), or 23 mi along the canyon trail. Most people make the float trip in two days. The canyon hike from Grave Creek usually takes three days.</p><br>
<p>Because the Rogue River Ranch is a popular stopping point for boater floating down the Rogue River and hikers trekking the Rogue River canyon trail, the Bureau of Land Management maintains a campground at the mouth of Mule Creek. The campground has several primitive camp sites with public toilets available nearby. Due to new regulations for public water supplies, drinking water is no longer available near the caretaker&#39;s house. The Bureau of Land Management does not charge a fee for camping at the ranch; however, campers must coordinate their stay with the ranch caretaker.</p><br>
<p>West Hall is a building on the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute campus in Troy, New York, United States. It is currently home to the Arts Department at RPI. It was previously a hospital, and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places as Old Troy Hospital.</p><br>

<p>A plaque on the southwest corner of West Hall reads as follows: "The Corner Stone of the Troy Hospital was laid on the 28th of June 1868 by the right Rev. Bishop Conroy". The hospital was opened in 1869 and was operated by the Sisters of Charity of Saint Vincent de Paul. The design of the building is due to Marcus F. Cummings of Troy and noted as a major example of French Second Empire architecture. The Sisters of Charity sold the building to the Albany Diocese in 1922 and it was converted to be used as a Catholic High School in 1923. Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute acquired the building in 1952 and named it West Hall, as it was one of the westernmost buildings on campus. Following a complete renovation, the School of Humanities and Social Sciences and the Department of Geology occupied the building. A geology museum was housed there at one time, the remnants of which can still be seen in parts of the basement.</p><br>
<p>West Hall currently houses several offices, art studios, and rehearsal space for the Rensselaer Symphony Orchestra. There is a large auditorium for performances and a few music practice rooms. Between 2004 and 2008 there was a major renovation of the exterior, which was made in part by a $150,000 Campus Heritage Initiative Grant. The building was completely repainted and detailed, and the front steps were re-landscaped. During 2008–09 new stairs were constructed traversing the hill on the north side, as well as more robust concrete retaining walls.</p><br>
<p>A folklore surrounds the construction of "cables" to stabilize the building on the shifting hill. The cables supposedly were put in place to anchor the buildings foundations to an outcropping of bedrock near Walker Labs. According to Thomas Zimmie PhD, PE, D.GE, a professor in the Civil Engineering Department of RPI, this kind of myth comes about worldwide. According to him, "There are no cables holding West Hall... There are slope problems on campus, but nothing that cant be fixed." While Professor Zimmie acknowledges that a problem will eventually occur, he says "It will probably take at least a few thousand years."</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<h3>Troy Hospital (1891–1913/23)</h3><br>
<p>Originally built as Troy Hospital, the building opened in Fall 1871 and remained in operation until 1913. At the end of the Civil War, the growth of Troy and two fires at the old hospital site resulted in plans for a new and larger hospital, which was located at Fulton and 8th Streets. The new Old Troy Hospital was completed in the fall of 1871 in the “Grant style” of building and attracted young, newly minted physicians to the upgraded facility that was thought to be on the leading edge of health care in the USA As a hospital the building was the second site of Troy Hospital founded by Sisters of Charity in 1850, and the new building was at a higher elevation to increase "natural ventilation".</p><br>
<h3>Catholic Central High School (1923–1952)</h3><br>
<p>In the spring of 1923, Bishop Gibbons of the Albany Catholic Diocese began a movement to raise capital to transform the old Troy Hospital into a Catholic Central High School. A total of $250,000 was raised and a reconstruction plan of the building was implemented. The Diocese added an auditorium, gymnasium, and cafeteria.</p><br>
<p>Classes began in 1923, but not in the intended building. Delays caused classes to be held at St. Peters Lyceum until early 1924. During West Halls tenure as Catholic Central High School it acquired many of the classroom structures we see today, including separate entrances for the sexes. Visible still to this day are the southernmost entrance labeled "Boys" and the northernmost entrance labeled "Girls". The building transferred to RPI in 1952.</p><br>
<p>The Church of the Holy Cross is a church in Troy, New York, United States. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in New York in 1973. It borders the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute campus to the East and South.</p><br>
<p>The church was founded by Mary Warren in the early 1840s. Under the direction of Mary Warren&#39;s son, Nathan B. Warren, the church nave was built from designs by Alexander Jackson Davis in 1844. The chancel addition, by Richard Upjohn, was completed in late 1848 and dedicated in January, 1849. In 1846, the Church instituted one of the first choirs at an Episcopal church in the United States. During the full choral service, the psalter, creed and responses of the English Cathedral Service are chanted by the choir while the officiant intones his part. In 1863, the Mary Warren Free Institute was built adjoining the church to the south in order to further religious and musical instruction. The Institute still exists to this day.</p><br>
<h2>Closure</h2><br>
<p>Due to declining membership, the church closed on December 6, 2009. Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute successfully purchased the property.</p><br>
<p>The John Hunter House, also known as McCullough House, near Franklin, Tennessee is an Italianate style house that was built in 1875. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places  in 1988.</p><br>
<p>The NRHP eligibility of this property and others was covered in a 1988 study of Williamson County historical resources. The house was one of relatively few fine brick residences built in Williamson County, Tennessee, besides in Franklin, that were built from 1865 to 1937. Another one, also in Italianate style, is the Andrew Vaughn House, also NRHP-listed. Both "feature arched fenestration and ornate eaves" and had had few changes since, as of the 1988 study.</p><br>
<p>The house was built or has other significance in c. 1875, c. 1890, and c. 1910.</p><br>
<p>The NRHP listing was for an area of 2.8 acre with just one contributing building.</p><br>
<p>Sloat&#39;s Dam and Mill Pond is located between Waldron Terrace and Ballard Avenue in Sloatsburg, New York, United States. The 200-foot–long  concrete dam creates the mill pond north of it by impounding the Ramapo River.</p><br>
<p>It was created by Stephen Sloat in 1792, and renovated two decades later. It was the earliest of three dams on the river in today&#39;s Rockland County that supported milling operations; today it is the only one that remains mostly intact, although the mill shut down after a mid-20th century fire. In 2000 it and several accessory structures were listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>Property</h2><br>
<p>The dam, mill pond and associated structures are located within a 15 acre rectangular area owned by the county. Most of that land is covered by the mill pond. The dam itself, located just west of Waldron Terrace where it runs parallel to the New York State Thruway, is 200 feet (60 m) long, four feet (1.1 m) high at its highest and about as wide. It is of concrete covering the original stonework. At the west end of the dam is a stone sluice gate at the end of a mill race.</p><br>
<p>At the southwest corner of the parcel are the remaining stone gateposts from the Brown Estate, which included the entire mill property during the early 20th century. They are located just off Station Road, next to an electrical substation just east of the train station. There is a historical marker nearby as they are the most visible component of the listing.</p><br>
<p>The gateposts had no direct connection to the mills. They are considered a contributing resource to the Register listing due to their age and the similarity of their stonework to contemporaneous renovations to the mill structures. Little remains of the actual mill buildings, which were mostly razed in the 1960s, and what does is not considered contributing.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Isaac Sloat, son of original Sloatsburg settler William, built the original stone dam across the Ramapo in 1792 to power a sawmill and tannery. Two other millers soon followed, above and below the present dam. Sloat&#39;s son Jacob reinforced the dam with concrete in 1815 before expanding the mill to produce textiles.</p><br>
<p>His business prospered, helped in later decades by the nearby route of the New York and Erie Railroad, and he expanded the mill several times before retiring in 1851. The Sloatsburg Manufacturing Company, which took over from him, again expanded the mill six years later, in 1857.</p><br>
<p>In 1878 it went bankrupt as a delayed result of the Panic of 1873. A new owner, William McCullough, took it over four years later and began producing silk. Around 1900 the mill became part of the property of Cappamore, the estate of Nicholas Brown, which overlooked Sloatsburg from the east. The stone gateposts were built at this time. Shortly afterwards, the flood of 1903, which wiped out the other two dams in the area, severely damaged the mill&#39;s infrastructure and it had to shut down.</p><br>
<p>The Ramapo Piece and Dye Works took over in 1907 and made the first renovations in nearly a century. They built the stone sluice gate on the site of the original wooden one, in cobblestone similar to that used on the gateposts. At this time it seems that they also shored up the dam.</p><br>
<p>In 1931, what was now called the Ramapo Finishing Company tore down the older sections of the factory. They continued to use the rest of it until it was severely damaged in a 1955 fire. The year after, Cappamore was demolished as part of the Thruway construction. The remaining mill buildings themselves were leveled in 1966 for a redevelopment that was never completed and the race was filled in after a drowned death in the remaining water.</p><br>
<p>The mill property, and some other riverfront acreage, was acquired by the county in the late 20th century. It and the Sloatsburg Historical Society have been working to develop it as part of the 45 acre Eleanor Burlingham Memorial Park, meant primarily for passive recreation. Currently there is the marker at the gateposts and a short walking trail to the dam from there.</p><br>
<p>The Hamilton Mill Brick House is a historic house at 16 High Street in Southbridge, Massachusetts. Built c. 1855 by the Hamilton Woolen Mill Company, it is one of a small number of brick company housing units to survive from that time. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on June 22, 1989.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Hamilton Mill Brick House on the west side of High Street, just south of Main Street and west of High Street&#39;s junction with Ash Street. Facing south, the house is a -story brick structure, five bays wide, with a side gable roof and single off-center brick chimney. It has a granite sills and lintels, and a recessed front door with sidelight and transom windows. A secondary entrance on the north side, which is three bays wide, is sheltered by a gabled porch. The side gables are fully pedimented, with two sash windows in the gable.</p><br>
<p>Although brick was not a house building material commonly used in Southbridge when this house was built c. 1855, most of the worker housing built by the Hamilton Woolen Mill Company was. This is one of a few surviving brick houses of the period in Southbridge (the other, the Vinton-Torrey House, is also listed, but is a farmhouse outside the downtown and industrial area). Many other instances of the companys housing in the High and Sayles Street have since been demolished, but this one and the Hamilton Millwright-Agents House survive. This house was still in company ownership at the turn of the 20th century, and was probably used to house senior company management.</p><br>
<p>The Hamilton Mill—West Street Factory Housing is a historic house at 45 West Street in Southbridge, Massachusetts. Built in the second quarter of the 19th century, it was a particularly architecturally elaborate example of a worker tenement house with Greek Revival elements, and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989 for its architecture.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Hamilton Mill—West Street Factory Housing is located in Southbridges Globe Village area, on the south side of West Street west of Lovely Street. It is one of a row of three similar tenement houses, from which it is now relatively undistinguished. It is a -story wood-frame house, with four doorways, two in front, and one on each of the sides. The building, at the time of its listing, had significantly more elaborate styling (in the Greek Revival style popular at the time of its construction), than typical worker housing from later in the 19th century. It had panel corner pilasters, which rose to an entablature that extended across the front, with corner returns on the sides. The front roof face is pierced by two gabled dormers, and the front entrance is sheltered by a shed-roof porch with a gabled peak at its center. Much of the buildings fine styling has been removed or obscured by the application of modern siding.</p><br>
<p>The house was one of four identical tenements built sometime between about 1830 and 1850 to house workers at the nearby Hamilton Woolen Mill complex. Relatively few of these early company-built worker tenements survive in the city; one of the four in this group has been torn down.</p><br>
<p>The Hamilton Millwright–Agents House is a historic house at 757–761 Main Street in Southbridge, Massachusetts. Built about 1840, it is a rare surviving house from the Hamilton Woolen Companys early period of worker house construction. It is also rare as a brick house of the period; they were not commonly built in Southbridge at the time. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Hamilton Millwright–Agents House is set on the south side of Main Street (Massachusetts Route 131), just near its junction with Hamilton Street in Southbridges Globe Village. The house stands on a rise overlooking the former Hamilton Woolen Company mill. It has typical Greek Revival characteristics, and is stylistically similar to the Judson–Litchfield House on South Street. It has a doorway with sidelights and transom, and window openings with granite sills and lintels. There is a side ell, in front of which is a porch with Doric posts and a Greek entablature.</p><br>
<p>Although brick was not a house building material commonly used in Southbridge when this house was built c. 1840, most of the worker housing built by the Hamilton Woolen Mill Company was. This house was probably built for John Edwards Bacon, the millwright who built the 1836 Hamilton Companys mill, then the nations largest mill building. By 1855 the house was occupied by the mill&#39;s agent, Joshua Ballard, who held leading positions in the company for forty years, during its period of greatest success.</p><br>
