<p>Pennsylvania Railroad No. 1223 is a D16sb class 4-4-0 "American" type steam locomotive built by the Altoona Works in November 1905 for the Pennsylvania Railroad by their own Altoona Works for passenger service. After being retired from active service in 1950, the locomotive ran excursion trains on the Strasburg Rail Road outside of Strasburg, Pennsylvania from 1965 to 1989 when it was removed from service requiring firebox repairs. Currently, the locomotive is still on static display at the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania outside of Strasburg. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979. No. 1223 is the only surviving example of the Pennsylvania Railroad&#39;s D16sb class.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<h3>Revenue service</h3><br>
<p>The class D16 locomotives of the Pennsylvania Railroad (PRR) were the most modern of a long history of 4-4-0 "American" type steam locomotives that the railroad used. No. 1223 was home built by PRR at its Juniata Shops in Altoona, Pennsylvania in 1905. As built, it was a high speed passenger engine with tall driving wheels. However, the 4-4-0 type—long the mainstay of American passenger and freight service—was already becoming outmoded when No. 1223 was built, being superseded by ever-larger engines. PRR itself was pioneering steel passenger cars, which the public soon demanded for the implied increases in safety. No. 1223 was eventually rebuilt with smaller driving wheels for local freight service, having been replaced on passenger trains by engines like the class "E6" Atlantics and class "K4" Pacifics. It was modernized as well, receiving superheaters (the "s" in D-16sb), piston valves, an electric headlight and other improvements. By 1940, most railroads had forgotten about the 4-4-0, but PRR, Boston & Maine and Canadian Pacific Railway, were still using them. Nos. 1035, 1223 and 5079 were all leased to the Baltimore, Chesapeake & Atlantic Railway working such routes as the McDaniel Branch and the Love Point to Easton line. No. 1223 was scheduled for scrapping when a PRR officer noticed it and ordered renovation to almost original condition in 1937. Of the three, No. 1223 was selected for display at a number of railroad fairs in the 1930s-1950s, and eventual preservation. No. 1223 was retired from revenue service in 1950, For years, the engine was stored at a roundhouse in Northumberland, Pennsylvania.</p><br>
<h3>Excursion service</h3><br>
<p>In 1960, the Strasburg Railroad (SRC), based in Strasburg, Pennsylvania, leased No. 1223 from PRR and restored it to operating condition on August 14, 1965. The engine pulled the Santa Claus Special at Lancaster, PA annually in December 1965-1968.</p><br>
<p>On December 17, 1979, PRR No. 1223 was placed on the National Register of Historic Places as "Passenger Locomotive no. 1223" by the United States Department of the Interior.</p><br>
<p>On August 1, 1983, No. 1223 was joined by PRR 7002 on Strasburgs roster and the two would operate a few mainline doubleheaders together in 1985 and 1986. The locomotive spent most of the 1980s pulling Strasburgs half hour trains but also made appearances at special events such as the 85th anniversary of the Broadway Limited in 1987, and an off-property trip to Delaware for Dupont in 1988. No. 1223 made its last run on October 26, 1989, after which, Strasburg&#39;s newly acquired ultrasound device revealed that the firebox walls of both No. 1223 and No. 7002 were not thick enough to comply with the updated Federal Railroad Administration regulations, thus deeming the engines unsafe for operation.</p><br>
<h3>Disposition</h3><br>
<p>As both the 1223 and 7002 had been operated by Strasburg under lease from the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania, the decision on their continued operation was to be made by the latter. The Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania wished to preserve the engines remaining historical fabric, thus both engines were withdrawn from excursion service on the SRC at the end of the 1989 season, with their leases allowed to lapse. After retirement from excursion service on the SRC, 1223 and 7002 have remained on indoor static display in the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvanias exhibit hall.</p><br>
<h2>Appearances in media</h2><br>
<p>In 1941, the engine appeared in the film, Broadway Limited, masquerading as No. 1600.</p><br>
<p>In 1969, the locomotive appeared in the film, Hello, Dolly, dressed as New York Central & Hudson River Railroad No. 15.</p><br>
<p>89 Rawson Road and 86 Colbourne Crescent are two historic Shingle Style houses located in Brookline, Massachusetts.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>

<p>The House at 9 Linden Street in Brookline, Massachusetts, USA, is a locally rare example of transitional Greek Revival and Italianate styling, and one of the few surviving houses from the original development of the Linden Street area in the 1840s. The -story wood-frame house was built in 1843 for Isaac Rich, a partner in a successful merchant firm and a co-founder of Boston University. The house&#39;s mansard roof is a later addition, probably dating to the 1860s.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.</p><br>

<p>The Thaddeus Jackson House is a historic house at 15 Alberta Road in Brookline, Massachusetts. Built in 1820, it is one of Brookline&#39;s older surviving houses, unusual because it was built in the Georgian style, then already out of fashion. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on October 17, 1985.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Jackson House is set on the north side of Alberta Road, in an area now completely surrounded by residential development in southern Brookline. It is a -story wood-frame structure, five bays wide, with clapboard siding and a side-gable roof. A leanto section (probably original) extends to the rear, giving the house a colonial New England saltbox profile. Other features more typical of 18th century construction that were repeated here include placement of the window tops near the eaves, and the simple center doorway surround.</p><br>
<p>The house was built in 1820, and is one of Brookline&#39;s older surviving homes. Its styling is essentially late Georgian, unusual given its construction late in the Federal period. Thaddeus Jackson, the builder, was the son of Abraham Jackson, a local blacksmith.</p><br>
<p>Thaddeus Jackson was also a successful blacksmith. He married Lydia Woodward, daughter of Caleb Woodward and Hannah Chever, on 14 October 1773 in Brooklines First Parish Church. They had nine children together, including Lydia Jackson Farwell, the founding mother of Ischua, New York. Jackson also served as a private in Capt. Thomas Whites (Brookline) company of militia, Col. William Heath&#39;s regiment, in the Battles of Lexington and Concord that began the American Revolutionary War.</p><br>
<p>Kilsyth Terrace is a historic series of townhouses at 15–27 Kilsyth Road in Brookline, Massachusetts. The Chateau-style townhouses were designed by J. Williams Beal and built in 1892. They are -story townhouses, built of yellow brick with Roxbury stone trim. Notable features include turrets, arched entrances and corbelled brickwork. Their design was likely influenced by the earlier Beaconsfield Terraces development, not far away on Beacon and Tappan Streets.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.</p><br>
<p>Linden Park is a small municipal park at Linden Place and Linden Street in Brookline, Massachusetts, USA. The triangular park was created in 1843 as one of several parks in the Lindens subdivision of the area by Thomas Aspinwall Davis, which was the first residential subdivision created in Brookline. In addition to generous setbacks, the deeds for the lots of this subdivision contained covenants excluding the sale to "Negroes or natives of Ireland".</p><br>
<p>The park and neighborhood were designed by Alexander Wadsworth, and the park was originally held in common by the surrounding property owners. The park is now partially surrounded by wrought iron fencing, and has grassy areas and a playground.</p><br>
<p>The park was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.</p><br>
<p>Linden Square is a small municipal park at Linden Place in Brookline, Massachusetts, United States. Roughly rectangular in shape with one curved side, Linden Square was laid out in 1844 by Alexander Wadsworth as part of the subdivision of the area by Thomas Aspinwall Davis. Its original pathways consisted of a horseshoe-shaped path flanking its perimeter, and a straight path that bisected the park; it now has paths that form an X, a layout adopted by the late 19th century. The park consists of grassy areas dotted with trees, and surrounded by a wrought iron fence with openings for the paths.</p><br>
<p>The park was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.</p><br>
<p>The Lynch-O&#39;Gorman House is a historic house at 41 Mason Terrace in Brookline, Massachusetts.

<p>The Perkins Estate is a historic estate at 450 Warren Street in Brookline, Massachusetts. The property was part of the summer estate of the Cabot family, originally belonging to Thomas Handasyd Perkins; the present main mansion house was built in the 1850s to a plan by Edward Clarke Cabot for his sister-in-law, Elizabeth Perkins Cabot. The grounds of the property were originally designed by Perkins, and subsequent generations maintained the grounds to a high degree. In the 1980s it was owned by Mitch Kapor, founder of Lotus Software.</p><br>
<p>The property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.</p><br>
<p>The Pill Hill Historic District is a historic district roughly bounded by Boylston Street, Pond Ave., and Acron, Oakland and Highland Roads in Brookline, Massachusetts.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The district, which is mainly residential, was developed in the mid-19th century for an upper-middle class professional population. Commuter railroads connecting Brookline to Boston opened in 1848, making the town attractive for working professionals who wished to live in a more open suburban area. Several major Boston architects designed homes in the district, including Robert Swain Peabody, Walter H. Kilham, Ware & Van Brunt, and William Ralph Emerson. By the 1880s, a significant number of doctors had settled in the district, giving it its current name. Dr. Walter Channing, one of the doctors living in the district, established one of Bostons earliest womens hospitals; his efforts inspired Brookline&#39;s Free Hospital for Women, which moved to Pill Hill in 1895.</p><br>
<p>The district was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1977.</p><br>
<p>Reservoir Park is a historic park on Boylston Street in Brookline, Massachusetts. Its principal feature is Brookline Reservoir, formerly an element of the public water supply for neighboring Boston.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The reservoir was built in 1848 as the main terminus of the now-defunct Cochituate Aqueduct, which delivered water from Lake Cochituate in the western suburbs.</p><br>
<p>The park was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.</p><br>
<h2>Structures</h2><br>
<p>The reservoir covers 21.1 acre, and is roughly kidney-shaped. A gravel path extends around the perimeter of the reservoir. The park is bounded on the north by Boylston Street (Massachusetts Route 9), on the west by Lee Street, on the south by Dudley Street, and on the east by Warren and Walnut Streets. There are two structures in the park: the Influent Gatehouse and the Principal Gatehouse.</p><br>
<h3>Influent Gatehouse</h3><br>
<p>At the western end of the reservoir stands the Influent Gatehouse, the endpoint of the Cochituate Aqueduct. This is a modest utilitarian structure built out of dressed granite, about 11 ft by 12 ft and 11 feet in height. Its interior houses equipment for managing the flow of water from the aqueduct into the reservoir.</p><br>
<h3>Principal Gatehouse</h3><br>
<p>The Principal Gatehouse, in contrast, is a more elaborate structure. It is located at the northeastern end of the reservoir, and is a two-story building partially buried in the embankment. It is built, like the Influent Gatehouse, of dressed granite, but was designed to be a public space. Its main facade has Renaissance Revival elements within a Greek-style temple front. The corners of the building have quoins in a paler shade of stone, and there is a course of that same stone in between the two floors. It has a gabled roof with a fully pedimented gable end, decorated with dentil stonework. The facade is three bays wide, with a centered entry on the lower level. The entry is recessed behind an arch that is flanked by round columns supporting an entablature. The entry is flanked by small elongated round-arch windows. The upper level consists of three larger equal-sized round-arch windows. The upper level of the building also has a facade facing the water; this also has three round-arch windows.</p><br>
<p>Because the Principal Gatehouse was intended as a public space, its interior was also finished, unlike that of the Influent Gatehouse. The walls were plastered, and there were stairs, constructed of wrought iron, which were used to reach a platform giving a view of the water. These staircases are believed to the oldest surviving example of wrought iron stairs intended for public use in the United States. (They are predated by surviving stairs in lighthouses and a prison, and by public stairs in other countries.) The building&#39;s roof is also believed to be the only surviving period roof supported by wrought iron trusses.</p><br>
<p>The Ritchie Building is a historic industrial building at 112 Cypress Street in Brookline, Massachusetts. Built in 1883 by Edward Samuel Ritchie, it is a fine example of the Panel Brick style, and is further notable as the factory space in which Ritchie manufactured a nationally distributed line of navigational instruments. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Ritchie Building is located on the east side of Cypress Street, north of Massachusetts Route 9 and south of the MBTA Green Line D branch, just east of the Brookline Hills station. It is a four-story rectangular brick structure, with a hip roof. The first floor is below the street level, which was raised in order to bridge the railroad tracks, and the main entrance is now on the second level. The second level is finished in stone, resembling a raised basement level, while the upper floors retain their original modest Panel Brick features, including segmented-arch window openings and a corbelled cornice.</p><br>
<p>Edward Samuel Ritchie founded his navigational instruments company in the 1850s, and had, by the 1880s, established a main office in Boston and a manufacturing facility near Harvard Square in Cambridge. He built the present facility in 1883, not far from his home on Lincoln Street, when he was unable to expand the Cambridge space. It was one of the first industrial buildings to be built in Brookline. The business, whose customers notably included the United States Navy, was operated by Ritchie and his successors at this site until the 1950s. The building has since been rehabilitated for use as office space.</p><br>
<p>Roughwood is a historic estate at 400 Heath Street in Brookline, Massachusetts. It is currently the main campus of Messina College . The main estate house and outbuildings were designed by Andrews, Jaques and Rantoul, and built in 1891 as the summer estate of William Cox, a wholesale dealer in the footwear industry. The estate house is one of the largest Shingle-style houses in Brookline. The property was reduced in size by sales of land to the adjacent country club, and for the establishment of Dane Park; the estate was acquired by Pine Manor College in 1961, which retained the estate&#39;s rural flavor.</p><br>
<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.</p><br>
<p>Saint Mary of the Assumption Church, Rectory, School and Convent is a historic church complex at 67 Harvard Street, and 3 and 5 Linden Place, in Brookline, Massachusetts in the Archdiocese of Boston. It was the first Roman Catholic Church in Brookline, and the first in the nation to bear the name. Most of its buildings were built between 1880 and 1906, and are reflective of the growth of the area&#39;s Irish immigrant community during that time. The complex was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture and history</h2><br>
<p>The parish, established in 1852, was the first in Brookline. The Saint Mary of the Assumption complex occupies a parcel of land on the northern fringe of Brookline Village, bounded by Harvard Street, Linden Place, Hurd Road, and Homer Street. The church stands at the northeast corner of Harvard and Linden, with the other buildings arrayed to its north and east.</p><br>
<p>The buildings of the complex, except for the convent, were built between 1880 and 1906 and were designed by Peabody and Stearns. The convent is a c. 1843 Greek Revival house moved from the Linden Place area in 1899, and then enlarged and finished in brick.</p><br>
<p>The church is a red brick Gothic Revival structure with brownstone trim, featuring a tower that is 146 ft in height. It has a basically cruciform plan, with a rounded apse and the tower set at the southwest corner of the crossing point. The main entrance is at its southern end, and has two arched doorways and a niche above for a statue of the Virgin Mary. The interior walls are lined with Kilkenny marble and onyx, and the altar of Caen stone with marble trim.</p><br>
<p>The rectory is a -story Panel Brick structure with a steeply pitched slate roof.</p><br>
<p>The school is an H-shaped -story structure, built like the church in a Gothic Revival style. Its entrance is in the center portion of the H, under a Tudor arch. The school formerly included a high school.</p><br>
<p>Saint Paul&#39;s Church, Chapel, and Parish House are a historic Episcopal Church complex at 15 and 27 Saint Paul Street and 104 Aspinwall Avenue in Brookline, Massachusetts. The Gothic Revival church building was designed by Richard Upjohn and built in 1851-52, and is the oldest surviving religious building in the town. The complex was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Saint Pauls Church complex stands at the junction of Saint Paul Street and Aspinwall Avenue in eastern Brookline, roughly halfway between the commercial centers of Coolidge Corner and Brookline Village. The church is a basically rectangular structure, oriented with its long access east-west, with a tower projecting from the northwest corner. Its main entrance is on the long southern facade, near the western end, set in a Gothic-arched opening in a projecting section with a steep gabled roof. The buildings walls are puddingstone, and the main roof, also gabled, is made of polychrome slate. The building exhibits classic elements of the Gothic Revival, including lancet-arched windows, tripartite windows with tracery, and elaborate stonework in the tower.</p><br>
<p>The Episcopalian congregation for which it was built was established in 1849 by William and Augustus Aspinwall (the latter donating the land on which the church was built). Richard Upjohn was retained in 1850 to design the building, which was completed two years later. The chapel, also an Upjohn design, was built in 1858 and enlarged in 1880 to a design by Peabody and Stearns. The parish house was designed by Julius Schweinfurth and built in 1895. The church was gutted by fire in 1976 and was rebuilt in 1979-80. The church is the oldest religious building in Brookline.</p><br>
<h2>Current status</h2><br>
<p>St. Paul&#39;s Episcopal Church serves Brookline, nearby Boston, Massachusetts and surrounding areas and is an active parish in the Episcopal Diocese of Massachusetts. It holds two regular services on Sunday mornings and is well-known for its ministry to children and young adults, strong choral music program, and multiple ministry initiatives outside the parish. Its current rector is the Reverend Doctor Won-Jae Hur, who followed the Reverend Doctor Paul Kolbet, who succeeded the Right Reverend Jeffrey Mello.</p><br>
<p>Saint Pauls Rectory is a historic church rectory at 130 Aspinwall Avenue in Brookline, Massachusetts. The -story Jacobethan stone house was built in 1886 to a design by Peabody and Stearns. It was designed to complement the Gothic Revival style of Saint Pauls Episcopal Church, for whose rector it was built. Construction funds were given in memory of Henry Savage Chase by his children. The exterior is finished in Brighton puddingstone and Nova Scotia freestone; its gable ends have elbows on the parapet walls, and the upper-level windows have diamond panes.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.</p><br>
<p>Sargents Pond is a man-made 3 acre pond on Sargent Road in Brookline, Massachusetts, United States. The pond was created by Charles Sprague Sargent  in the late 1870s as a centerpiece of his familys extensive Holm Lea estate. Sargents estate has since been subdivided, but the roads giving access to it run along the estates original alignments. Sargent landscaped the estate using similar principles to those he applied at the Arboretum, with vistas and a variety of trees and shrubs. The pond was created by damming a brook. It still has naturalistic plantings around it, although some Sargent&#39;s rhododendrons  have died.</p><br>
<p>The pond (along with its immediately surrounding grounds) was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.</p><br>
<p>The Second Unitarian Church is a historic church and synagogue building at 11 Charles Street in Brookline, Massachusetts. Built in 1916 for a Unitarian congregation, it was acquired by the innovative Reform Jewish Temple Sinai congregation in 1944. It is a high quality example of Colonial Revival/Georgian Revival architecture, and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Temple Sinai building is located on the north side of Charles Street, a side street just south of Beacon Street on the west side of Coolidge Corner. The building&#39;s lot originally fronted on Beacon Street, but has been subdivided. The building is a two-story brick structure, with a front-facing gable roof, Greek temple portico, and tower with octagonal cupola. The building corners have brick quoining, and it has round-arch windows capped by limestone keystones.</p><br>
<p>The building was erected in 1916 by the Second Unitarian Church, a congregation established in 1896 that had been meeting at a shared chapel in the Longwood area. The building was designed by Boston architect Edwin J. Lewis Jr., and is based on the Christ Church in Alexandria, Virginia. In 1944 the building was purchased by Temple Sinai, a Reform Jewish congregation established in 1939. That congregation was the first new Reform congregation to be founded in the Greater Boston area in 84 years, and is credited with introducing a number of changes to the worship and governance practices of Reform congregations, including equal seating for all congregants, and the right of women to vote in its organization.</p><br>

<p>The -story wood-frame house was built in 1798 by Eliphalet Spurr, who was locally prominent as one of the first operators of a local coach service, providing transport to Boston (which then required a roundabout trip via Roxbury and the Boston Neck). It is the oldest building in the Pill Hill, and one of the town&#39;s few 18th century Georgian houses.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on October 17, 1985.</p><br>
<p>The James H. Standish House is a historic house located at 54 Francis Street in Brookline, Massachusetts.</p><br>
<p>Built c. 1874–75, the -story house and carriage barn are rare surviving examples in Brookline of elaborate Stick style. It has Italianate massing and facade organization, as well as other typically Italianate elements such as a cupola and a bracketed and dentiled cornice. However, it also has applied Stick-style decoration above and below some of its windows.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on October 17, 1985.</p><br>
<p>The Strathmore Road Historic District is a residential historic district on Strathmore Road and Clinton Path in Brookline, Massachusetts. It consists of six brick apartment blocks, four of which lie on Strathmore Road, and two of which lie on Clinton Path. The two streets form a loop just south of the westernmost portion  of Beacon Street, and abutting the MBTA Green Line yard at Cleveland Circle. The district is reflective of the area&#39;s growth as a commuter suburb following the development of the rail line along Beacon Street , and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.</p><br>
<p>Beacon Street and the rail line were extended to Cleveland Circle in the 1880s, and the area was soon developed to provide housing for commuters into Boston. Charles Newhall and George Johnston were two major developers whose projects line Beacon Street, and who were responsible for the development of Strathmore Road as well. This development took place between 1904 and 1908. The buildings are 3-1/2 story brick buildings, most designed by either James Hutchinson or Murdock Boyle. Five of the six buildings were built by Johnston; only 1 Clinton Path was built by Newhall. They are built with consistent setbacks, large enough to provide each building with a small front yard, and with sufficient space to allow for the planting of trees.</p><br>
<p>The basic styling of most of the buildings is either Federal or Classical Revival. Typical features include limestone wedges above the windows, and cornices with dentil molding and modillions. Two of the buildings (40 Strathmore and 1 Clinton) are Romanesque in style, using rusticated brownstone and with round-arched entries.</p><br>
<p>The Winand Toussaint House is a historic house at 203 Aspinwall Avenue in Brookline, Massachusetts.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The -story wood-frame house was built in 1881 by Winand Toussaint, a Belgian immigrant who worked in the furniture business, and may have been the designer of the house. It is an architecturally eclectic work, with elements of Second Empire (the mansard roof), Stick style, and Gothic Revival. The house has a cupola, and perhaps most distinctively, the house&#39;s corners are chamfered, with the main entrance at one of the angled ends.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on October 17, 1985.</p><br>
<p>The Town Stable is a historic municipal public works building at 235 Cypress Street in Brookline, Massachusetts. With its oldest portion dating to 1874, it is one of the town&#39;s oldest municipal buildings. The building constructed then was designed with Gothic Revival styling by Charles Kirby, and was designed to stable 20 horses. The building was enlarged in 1898 to a design by Peabody & Stearns, adding more stable space along Cypress Street, and converting the original building into carriage storage and maintenance. The addition has a mansard roof and Georgian Revival detailing.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.</p><br>
<p>The William F. Tuckerman House is a historic house located at 63 Harvard Avenue in Brookline, Massachusetts.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The -story wood-frame house was built in 1856, and is a well-preserved local example of high-style Italianate design.

The roof cornice has paired brackets, and the front porch, which extends across the three-bay front of the main block, is supported by square posts with brackets.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on October 17, 1985.</p><br>
<p>The Ginery Twichell House is a historic house located at 17 Kent Street in Brookline, Massachusetts.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The (two and half) story wood-frame house was built in the year 1844–1855 by Ginery Twichell, a leading Massachusetts politician, as well as a nationally prominent stagecoach and railroad owner. Twichell lived at 40 Kent Street. The house is a well-preserved example of transitional Greek Revival-Italianate styling. Its massing and roofline are typically Greek Revival, but its gable ends and eaves have doubled brackets, and its windows are capped by scrollwork decoration.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on October 17, 1985.</p><br>
<p>The White Place Historic District is a historic district on White Place between Washington Street and Davis Path in Brookline, Massachusetts. White Place contains the town&#39;s highest concentration of vernacular 19th-century architecture, with 36 houses built between c. 1835 and 1905. Most of these are single-story or -story cottages, which were built before 1866, and exhibit elements of Italianate styling, derived either from the time of their construction, or through later alteration. There are seven triple decker apartment houses, which were built between about 1895 and 1905.</p><br>
<p>The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.</p><br>

<p>Engine Company No. 2 is a firehouse located at 1313 Washington Street in Hoboken, New Jersey, United States. The firehouse was added to the National Register of Historic Places on March 30, 1984.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Hoboken Land and Improvement Company donated a piece of land on July 18, 1889, for the construction a new firehouse, after the original built in 1880 was destroyed by fire in 1888. The firehouse was designed by French, Dixon & DeSaldern in the Romanesque Revival style and was built in 1890 by M.J. Connolly (Mason) and John Meighan (Carpenter). In the early 1970&#39;s, the engine door was widened resulting in the removal of one of the cast-iron pilasters and the glass directly above the original door. The "Engine Co. No. 2" letters are original to the building. The firehouse was restored outside and modernized inside after a severe fire occurred in the 1980s. The firehouse currently houses Engine Company 5 and Ladder Company 1 of the Hoboken Fire Department. According to local legend, the firehouse was built 12 feet back from the building line to protect pedestrians from the tobacco spit of firefighters.</p><br>
<h2>Design</h2><br>
<p>The firehouse is a three-story example of Romanesque Revival style, with Richardsonian Romanesque influences. This was the first firehouse in Hoboken to incorporate a fire tower in the design of the building. The firehouse has a single chimney located on the northernmost wall. The main building material is tan stretcher bond brick. Bands of sandstone horizontally span the facade. The engine door has cast-iron pilasters on either side. A tower extends to four stories on the southern side of the building. The mansard roof and tower roof are covered in orange terra cotta-colored pantiles.</p><br>
<p>The Keuffel and Esser Manufacturing Complex is located in Hoboken, Hudson County, New Jersey, United States. The western concrete building with the four-sided clock tower was built in 1906 and opened in 1907, after the previous building was destroyed by a fire in 1905. Keuffel and Esser manufactured instruments for the architectural, engineering and drafting professions at the complex from 1907 to 1968.</p><br>
<p>In 1975 the building was converted to housing. The western half of the complex became known as Clock Towers, while the eastern half of the complex (which was built in 1887) was converted into residential apartments in 1984 and became what is now called the Grand Adams Apartments.</p><br>
<p>The Buildings at 1200–1206 Washington Street, also known as the El Dorado Apartments and the Yellow Flats, are a historic district located in Hoboken, Hudson County, New Jersey, United States. The buildings were added to the National Register of Historic Places on March 9, 1987.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In the 1890s, They are located between 12th Street and 13th Street on the west side of Washington Street, a commercial district with many retail stores and restaurants. The five-story complex is roughly 2 blocks south of Weehawken Cove, the former site of the Hudson Tea Building, and 2 blocks west of the Hudson River. The entire complex is the full length of Washington Street between 12th and 13th Streets, with several rows of apartments wrapping around the corners of both streets, and in total the Yellow Flats contain 174 living units. The addresses listed under the National Register of Historic Places are specifically 1200, 1202, 1204 and 1206.</p><br>
<h2>Famous residents</h2><br>
<p>King Timothy James Kilkenny II</p><br>
<p>Although she was considered to be one of the wealthiest women of her day, Hetty Green, the "Witch of Wall Street" To avoid establishing a residency permanent enough to attract the attention of tax officials in any state, Hetty took up several residences in Hoboken and Brooklyn Heights, which has resulted in a discrepancy between whether or not she lived in the apartments listed under the National Register of Historic Places. At the Yellow Flats, she listed her buzzer as C. Dewey, the name of her pet Skye terrier. It was also reported that she lived as a guest of the Yellow Flats buildings&#39; janitor, Jacob Van Twisk.</p><br>
<p>At the end of his career in 1905, Blind Tom Wiggins, one of the most famous musical performers of his day who played at the White House for President James Buchanan and was highly regarded by Mark Twain, moved into an apartment in the Yellow Flats. Several years later, he died at the home of neighbor Mrs. Eliza Bethune Lerche.</p><br>
<p>The Whisky Creek Cabin is a rustic log cabin located in southwest Oregon along the section of the Rogue River that is designated as a National Wild and Scenic River. It is the oldest remaining mining cabin in the Rogue River canyon. The Bureau of Land Management purchased the cabin and surrounding property in 1973. The Whisky Creek Cabin is listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Whisky Creek Cabin was built in about 1880 by an unknown miner. The original structure was very basic, consisting of four walls, a dirt floor, and wooden shake roof. A flume ditch was constructed near the cabin around 1890 to provide water for hydraulic mining on Whisky Creek. The flume begins about one half mile up the stream from the cabin and ends at the gully behind the tool shed. In 1905, the flume was extended to a point about 50 ft above Whisky Creek bar. This flume ditch also provided drinking water for the cabin.</p><br>
<p>The first recorded mining claim on Whisky Creek was filed by P.H Rushmore in 1917. Rushmore sold his claim to Cy Whiteneck a year later. Whiteneck lived at Whisky Creek for the next 30 years. During that time, he improved the original cabin by laying a wooden floor and adding a second room. He also constructed several work sheds near the cabin. Over the years, Whiteneck used hydraulic mining methods to extract gold from the creek, but never got rich.</p><br>
<p>In 1948, Whiteneck sold his claim to L. M. Nichols and his wife. In 1957, Nichols hired Lou Martin to be the property&#39;s caretaker. Martin continued to mine Whisky Creek during the sixteen years he lived there. He also improved the site. Martin built a solar-heated shower adjacent to one of the sheds and added a large walk-in pantry next to the cabin. Martin also constructed a cable car to haul firewood across the creek. To accomplish that, he strung half-inch steel cable 480 ft across the creek, and tightened it with a system of hand-winches and pulleys. Martin remained the on-site caretaker until 1973 when the property was sold to the Bureau of Land Management.</p><br>
<p>In 1973, Bureau of Land Management installed interpretive signs at the site and opened the cabin to the public for self-guided tours. Because of cabin&#39;s unique heritage as the oldest surviving mining cabin in the Rogue River Canyon, the Whisky Creek Cabin was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on 5 September 1975. The historic area cover 20 acre and includes the cabin and one additional contributing structure.</p><br>
<h2>Structure</h2><br>
<p>There are two sheds on the site. There is a large tool shed just behind the cabin. A power generator shed is located a short distance north of the cabin. There is a unique solar-heated shower, built by the cabin&#39;s last resident, located between the tool shed and the cabin.</p><br>
<h2>Access</h2><br>
<p>The Whisky Creek Cabin historic site is located in the Rogue River canyon in southern Oregon. The cabin&#39;s elevation is approximately 640 ft above sea level. It is an isolated site within the Rogue National Wild and Scenic River corridor, surrounded by the Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest.</p><br>
<p>The Whisky Creek Cabin can only be reached by floating down the Rogue River or by hiking the Rogue River canyon trail. From the trailhead at Grave Creek, it is a three-mile (5 km) hike to the cabin along the Rogue River National Recreation Trail. The cabin is approximately one quarter mile up Whisky Creek from its mouth on the north side of the Rogue River. Information on the river trail is available at the Smullin Visitor Center at the Rand Ranger Station. There is also a boat ramp at Grave Creek. Rogue River float permits can be obtained at the Rand visitor center as well.</p><br>
<p>Whisky Creek Cabin is a popular stop for both hikers and boaters. There is a primitive campground located at the mouth of Whisky Creek. There are public restrooms at the campground. Water is available from Whisky Creek; however, some form of water purification is recommended before drinking. Leave no trace procedures apply while camping and cooking along the Wild and Scenic River corridor. Fire pans are also required within 400 ft of the river.</p><br>

<p>Old Main, built in 1886 in Laramie, Wyoming, was the first building on the University of Wyoming campus and continues as its oldest. At an approximate elevation of 7,180 ft above sea level, it currently houses university administration.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Old Main was built as a result of the University Bill, passed by the government of the Territory of Wyoming. In a compromise among territorial legislators, Laramie was given the university, Cheyenne was given the capitol, and Evanston was given $10,000 to build an insane asylum.</p><br>
<p>All three were fast-growing cities near Wyoming&#39;s southern border and connected by the Union Pacific Railroad.</p><br>
<p>Territorial Governor Francis E. Warren appointed three Laramie residents to a building commission (J.W. Donnellan, LeRoy Grant and Robert Marsh) and allocated $50,000 to build the first university building in the territory.</p><br>
<p>The building commission contracted Frederick Hale to design and Cook and Callahan to construct the building.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture and construction</h2><br>
<p>Frederick Hale began his career as an architect in Denver around 1890. After designing Old Main early in his career, Hale moved to Utah and became an important figure in Salt Lake City architecture. Hale designed the David Keith Mansion, the Downey House, the Haxton Place, and the Markland/Walker House, all built on Salt Lake City&#39;s historic Temple Street. He also built the A.O. Whitmore Electric Automobile Building in Salt Lake City.</p><br>
<p>Hale designed Old Main in the Romanesque Revival style. Its heavy stone construction, axial nature, symmetry, arch, and rectangular footprint all reflect the Romanesque style. Rough-cut sandstone, quarried from east of Laramie, is the primary stone used. The trim stone is Potsdam Sandstone, quarried from the Rawlins area. This smooth-textured stone contrasts with the native sandstone.</p><br>
<p>As the first university building in the Wyoming Territory, Hale designed Old Main as an imposing structure. He included a central spire to serve both as a focal point for the structure and a signal of the building&#39;s importance. Old Main was built to reflect Wyoming rather than copying university structures of the Eastern United States. One can see the rough-textured body of the building representing the developing frontier, while the minimal usage of classical decoration might symbolize the emerging sophistication of the Wyoming population.</p><br>
<p>The Masonic Order laid the cornerstone on September 27, 1886, construction finished on September 1, 1887. Classes began five days later, on September 6, 1887. It was originally called the University Building, because it housed the entire university. It included classrooms, labs, administration, maintenance, an auditorium, and a library. A two-story, 500-seat auditorium on the second level quickly became an entertainment center for Laramie.</p><br>
<h2>Later changes</h2><br>
<p>The central spire was removed in 1916 due to structural concerns, completely changing the character of the structure. This alteration resulted in a somewhat awkward central section, which is now hidden by two large spruce trees. After the campus expanded, the building was renamed the Language Building.</p><br>
<p>The auditorium was reduced in size during a 1936 renovation and completely removed in 1949. This remodeling drastically changed the building&#39;s interior and did not match the original style. The auditorium was replaced by a large central staircase and two stories of office space still in use today. The 1949 remodeling also officially changed the buildings name to Old Main. The office of the president was remodeled at this time and remains much unchanged today.</p><br>
<p>Originally the entrances to Old Main were elevated above ground level, so that visitors would ascend to the first floor before entering the building. They were modified in 1949 so that visitors now enter down to the basement level. An elevator was added to the building in 2002.</p><br>
<h2>Context</h2><br>
<p>Two Wyoming structures contemporary to Old Main are the Union Pacific Train Depot (1886) and State Capitol building (begun in 1887), both in Cheyenne. At the time of construction, Old Main would have had a similar level of importance to the Wyoming Territory as the other two structures. Together, these three structures show that the 1880s were a time of excitement, growth, and change in Wyoming. Shortly after the construction of Old Main, the state of Wyoming joined the United States in 1890.</p><br>
<h2>Influence</h2><br>
<p>Old Main had a significant impact on the direction of architecture on the University of Wyoming&#39;s campus. This influence on later campus construction is visible through the similar use of native stone on most buildings and the similar three portal design used on structures such as Half Acre Gymnasium. University building construction today uses modern techniques and materials, such as steel, but still incorporate a rough-cut sandstone façade, resulting in a uniform architectural style throughout the campus.</p><br>
<p>Bay Shore Post Office, the USA post office in Bay Shore, New York, is located at 10 Bay Shore Avenue just north of Main Street. It serves the ZIP code 11706, as well as Kismet, Saltaire, Dunewood, Fair Harbor, and Point O&#39;Woods, on Fire Island.</p><br>
<p>Bay Shore Post Office was designed by Louis A. Simon and artist Wheeler Williams. Unlike Simon&#39;s work on the Post Office buildings in Northport, Riverhead, and Westhampton Beach, Bay Shore Post Office was not designed in conjunction with the United States Treasury Department.</p><br>
<p>The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1988, unlike other Simon-built Post Offices in Suffolk County that were added in 1989.</p><br>

<p>The John Quincy Adams and Elizabeth Young House, also known as the John Quincy Adams Young House, is a historic American saltbox house built in 1869 in the USA state of Oregon. It is located in the unincorporated Cedar Mill area of Washington County, Oregon, near Portland, and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>John Quincy Adams Young and his wife Elizabeth Young settled in the area in 1862 and built a log cabin. In 1869, they built a new home, followed by another larger one built in 1873. Young served as the first postmaster of Cedar Mill starting in 1874. He named the community after the cedar trees in the area and for the mill he co-owned. The post office was located in the 1869 house, with the family living across the road in a newer home. Young remained as postmaster until 1882.</p><br>
<p>The house and a half acre of land surrounding it have been owned by the Tualatin Hills Park and Recreation District (THPRD) since 2005. The group was also attempting to raise $650,000 to completely restore the home and allow it to be opened up to the public.</p><br>
<p>The Enfield Shaker Museum is an outdoor history museum and historic district in Enfield, New Hampshire, in the United States. It is dedicated to preserving and sharing the history of the Shakers, a Protestant religious denomination, who lived on the site from 1793 to 1923. The museum features exhibitions, artifacts, eight Shaker buildings and restored Shaker gardens. It is located in a valley between Mount Assurance and Mascoma Lake in Enfield.</p><br>
<p>One of the buildings, the Great Stone Dwelling, was the largest residential building north of Boston and is the largest Shaker building. When the Shaker community closed, most of the land that made up the Enfield Shaker Village was sold to the Missionaries of La Salette. The state owns 28 acre and 13 buildings, which is now the Enfield Shaker Museum.</p><br>
<h2>Shakers</h2><br>
<h3>Village history</h3><br>
<p>The Shakers, or United Society of Believers in Christ&#39;s Second Appearing, settled on the site in 1793 along Lake Mascoma on up to 1,200 acre. A meetinghouse was built May 1793 and a residential building was constructed in 1794. Subsequent buildings were made of granite with advanced stone masonry techniques, which was revolutionary for that time period. There were 132 members of the village by 1803, and by 1840 there were nearly 300 people.</p><br>
<p>Within the village was the largest Shaker dwelling and the largest residential dwelling north of Boston, the Great Stone Building. Built from 1837 to 1841 for the Church Family, it had four full stories and a total of six stories. Men and women lived in the building, but entered doors specific for their gender to separate quarters. It was designed by Ammi Burnham Young, who created the designs for the second state capitol in Vermont and was the first supervising architect for the United States Treasury. The granite stonework on the exterior and the slate roof were constructed by stonemasons from Boston. The Shaker brothers constructed the rest of the building themselves.</p><br>
<p>In 1849, the Shakers built the half-mile long Shaker Bridge that crossed a narrow portion of Lake Mascoma to the railroad line. In 1870, the elaborate Victorian and Shaker architectural Ministry shop was built to house the community&#39;s religious leaders. To support itself, the community made brooms, buckets, spinning wheels, tubs, dry measures and shirts. It also made and sold applesauce, maple syrup, herbs, medicines and seeds.</p><br>
<p>Like other Shaker communities, the Enfield Shaker village declined throughout the second half of the 19th century. In 1923, they closed the Enfield Shaker village and moved to the Canterbury community in central New Hampshire.</p><br>
<p>Much of the village property was sold in 1927 to the La Salettes. The site is listed on the USA National Register of Historic Places as the Enfield Shaker Historic District.</p><br>
<h3>Museum</h3><br>
<p>Since 1986, the Enfield Shaker Museum has worked to preserve the Shaker heritage of the site without neglecting the 20th century history of the village. The Great Stone Dwelling houses the gift shop and the primary exhibition space. The museum is open 7 days a week, offering tours of the site, and offers overnight stays in the original Shaker bedrooms of the Great Stone Dwelling.</p><br>
<p>There are 13 remaining Shaker village buildings and gardens on 28 acres, which can be seen during a self-guided walking tour. The village museum is owned by the state of New Hampshire.</p><br>
<h2>Missionaries of La Salette</h2><br>
<p>In 1927, the site was sold to the Missionaries of La Salette, who converted the site into a seminary for the Catholic priesthood, school and conference site.</p><br>
<p>In 2020, the Missionaries of La Salette announced that the organization would be shutting down operations at the Enfield site, including the Marian shrine located on the eastern slope of Mount Assurance. Sale of the shrine and all accompanying real estate to the Enfield Shaker Museum was completed in July 2023.</p><br>
