<p>The Webster County Courthouse is a historic building in Fort Dodge, Iowa, United States. Built in 1902, it primarily houses local government offices for Webster County. The courthouse is the second building the county has used for court functions and county administration. It was individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1981, and as a contributing property in the Fort Dodge Downtown Historic District in 2010.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>After the county was organized in 1852, the community of Homer was designated the county seat. At the time it was the largest town in the region. Fort Dodge almost immediately sought to have the county seat moved there, and an election to decide the issue was held on April 7, 1856, with Fort Dodge coming out victorious. Construction began in 1859 on an elaborate courthouse, but the cupola could not be built as designed, the specified stone could not be acquired, and the building&#39;s plans were constantly being changed. The original contractors abandoned the project after only the first floor was completed, and the timeframe for completion was pushed back two years. Over the years the building was expanded, and a clock tower was added to the structure. Space was allocated for Federal court offices.</p><br>
<p>On November 7, 1899, voters approved the construction of a new courthouse. A larger plot of land was sought for the new building until it was learned that the property the old courthouse stood on would revert to its previous owner. Accordingly, the old building was destroyed and a new four-story courthouse built on the same site. This stone building represented a significant expansion of its predecessor. The courthouse was not completed until 1902, at which point approximately $100,000 had been expended in constructing the building. It was designed by Milwaukee architect Henry C. Koch, and built by Northern Building Company. By 1980, the courthouse required extensive renovations, including a new roof, exterior repairs, restorations to the clock tower, and a refurbished interior; the entire process took several million dollars and over twenty years to complete.</p><br>
<h2>Present status</h2><br>
<p>Today, the courthouse is the site of much local and regional government business, including the office of the county assessor, the meeting area for the Webster County Board of Health, service offices for the hearing impaired, and offices for the state courts of the Second Judicial District. The significance of the courthouse is derived from its association with county government, and the political power and prestige of Fort Dodge as the county seat.</p><br>
<p>In 2021, construction was completed on a restoration of the courthouse roof and iconic clock tower.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The courthouse is a four-story stone structure. The main facade has four stone Ionic columns that rise from the second to the third floor. Three recessed openings on the first floor serve as the main entrance. Above a mansard roof is a green-colored clock tower. A projecting cornice divides the third and fourth floors. Unlike Iowa&#39;s other Beaux Arts courthouses, the long axis of the building is perpendicular to the main facade.</p><br>
<p>The interior features a rectangular light court that is covered with a white glass barrel-vaulted skylight. A marble staircase with brass balustrade and handrails is located in the light court. The perimeter of the court is set off by column screens with columns in the Corinthian and Ionic orders. The space is decorated with Adamesque details.</p><br>

<p>The Allison Guard Station is a Forest Service compound consisting of eight rustic buildings located in the Malheur National Forest in the Ochoco Mountains of eastern Oregon. It was originally built as a district ranger station for the Snow Mountain Ranger District. It was later converted to a summer guard station. Today, it is an active Forest Service guard station with a crew of twelve fire fighters on station during the summer fire season. The station&#39;s oldest building, the Donnelly Cabin, is currently listed on the National Register of Historic Places as the "Allison Ranger Station". Most of the other buildings at the Allison Guard Station are eligible for historic designation, but are not yet listed on the National Register.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In the early 20th century, the forest road networks were not well developed. To facilitate work in National Forests, the Forest Service built district ranger stations at strategic locations within the forest to house full-time employees and provide logistics support to fire patrols and project crews working at remote forest sites. After World War II, the Forest Service greatly expanded its road network, allowing employees to get to most forest areas within a few hours. As a result, many of the more isolated ranger stations were closed or converted to summer guard stations.</p><br>
<p>The Snow Mountain Ranger District was established as an administrative sub-division on the Ochoco National Forest which was separated from the Deschutes National Forest in 1911. The original Forest Service ranger&#39;s cabin at Allison Creek was built in 1911 by E. W. "Cy" Donnelly, the first ranger of the Snow Mountain District. A second residence cabin and several outbuildings were added to the compound around 1925. There is no written record of when these additional buildings were constructed; however, the 1925-era buildings are shown in a few historic photographs. The 1925-era buildings were removed sometime before the mid-1930s. In 1935, the Civilian Conservation Corps constructed seven additional building at the ranger station.</p><br>
<p>The ranger station served as the administrative headquarters for the Snow Mountain Ranger District from 1911 until the 1950s when the district headquarters was moved to Hines, Oregon. At that time, the Allison compound was converted to a guard station for fire crews and work parties. The site is one of the few ranger stations that have been in continuous use for almost a century. In 1993, volunteers renovated the Donnelly Cabin. The project replaced the roof. Decayed sill logs and floor joists were also replaced. The project stabilized the foundation on a gravel pad and reset the cabin&#39;s porch posts.</p><br>
<p>The Snow Mountain Ranger District was transferred from the Ochoco National Forest to the Malheur National Forest and incorporated the Emigrant Creek Ranger District around 2003. In 2005, the Malheur Nation Forest supervisor approved a project to renovate several of the Civilian Conservation Corps buildings. The project replaced deteriorating foundations, converted the warehouse into a fire crew bunkhouse, and improved the ranger station&#39;s water system which included drilling a new well. During the project, the Forest Service was careful to preserve the historic character of the buildings. As a result, the Civilian Conservation Corps era structures remain eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places sometime in the future. A modern vehicle shed was also constructed as part of the 2005 project; however, the structure was designed to match the historic buildings at the site. Today, the bunkhouse and ranger residences are used during the summer to house a twelve-person fire fighting crew, and the Forest Service rents the Civilian Conservation Corps era cookhouse to recreational visitors.</p><br>
<p>The Donnelly Cabin and six of the seven Civilian Conservation Corps era buildings still exist at the Allison site. Because of its unique historic value as an early Forest Service ranger station, the Donnelly Cabin was listed on the National Register of Historic Place in 1980. While the Donnelly Cabin is only one of the guard station&#39;s buildings, the historic site covers 10 acre and is officially listed as the "Allison Ranger Station". A Forest Service study in the early 1980s determined that the Civilian Conservation Corps era building at the site are also eligible for historic designation; however, they are not yet listed on the national register.</p><br>
<h2>Structures</h2><br>
<p>The Donnelly Cabin was built in 1911. It is a one-room log cabin. The logs that make up the cabin&#39;s main structure are peeled pine. The cabin has a wood-frame floor, and the roof is covered by hand-cut larch shingles. It has an overhanging front porch held up by two log posts. The cabin is located approximately 200 yards north of the other ranger station buildings.</p><br>
<p>In 1935, the Civilian Conservation Corps built two ranger residences, a fire warehouse, a gas house, a garage, a generator shed, and a cookhouse at the Allison Ranger Station. All of the buildings are wood-frame structures. One residence is an 884 ft&sup2; structure; the other is only 499 ft&sup2;. The 2,450 ft&sup2; warehouse was converted into a bunkhouse in 2005. The 608 ft&sup2; gas house and the 216 ft&sup2; garage are used for storage. The small, 60 ft&sup2; generator house was demolished in 2005.</p><br>
<p>The 954 ft&sup2; cookhouse was renovated in 2005. It is now available to the public from late May until early October as a recreation rental unit. The cookhouse has a living room, two bedrooms, a kitchen, and an indoor bathroom with a shower. The living room and bedrooms are furnished. The kitchen is equipped with a refrigerator, a propane cooking stove, and basic cooking and serving utensils. Cleaning supplies are also provided. There is drinking water available from the taps as well as hot water in the kitchen and bathroom. The building has electric lights. The facility sleeps up to eight people. Visitors need to bring food, sleeping bags, personal gear, and trash bags.</p><br>
<h2>Location</h2><br>
<p>The Allison Guard Station is located in a remote area of the Ochoco Mountains in the Malheur National Forest. It is approximately 60 mi northwest of Burns, Oregon. The elevation at the site is 5,310 ft. The forest around the guard station is dominated by ponderosa pine.</p><br>
<p>To get to the Allison Ranger Station from Burns, travel south on Highway 20 four miles (6 km) though the neighboring town of Hines. Approximately one mile south of Hines, turn onto Forest Road 47, and follow the road northwest 18 mi to the junction with Forest Road 41. Turn left onto Forest Road 41 and follow that road for approximately 40 mi past Delintment Lake to the Allison Guard Station.</p><br>
<p>Eberhardt Hall, originally the Newark Orphan Asylum, is the oldest building at the New Jersey Institute of Technology . It is located at 323 Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. , in the University Heights section of Newark, Essex County, New Jersey, United States. Built in 1856-57 its original purpose was to serve as a home for Newark&#39;s orphans. Eberhardt Hall is listed in the National Register of Historic Places and is a beautiful example of 19th-century Gothic Victorian architecture, in conjunction with 15th- and 16th-century castle design.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The castle-like building was designed by John Welch, an experienced church architect and one of the founders of American Institute of Architects. It is said to be that the building had the most advanced construction of the time. It included some modern day amenities such as hot and cold water, gaslight, and even an early fire extinguishing system. By 1947 the building was no longer used for its original purpose. Thereafter, Newark College of Engineering - subsequently New Jersey Institute of Technology - acquired the building for $58,000. In 1948, the board closed the deal with another $40,000 which included the closing and renovation.</p><br>
<h3>Frederick Eberhardt</h3><br>
<p>The board of trustees that served during 1947 named the building in honor of Frederick Eberhardt, who served on the Newark College of Engineering Board of Trustees from 1910 until his death in 1946.</p><br>
<h2>Restoration</h2><br>
<p>The building has served many purposes through the years. In the early 2000s, NJIT embarked on a quest to bring the 21st century edge to the campus. This included the restoration of Eberhardt Hall in 2005 to serve as the NJIT Alumni Center, and to provide space for the NJIT Club for dining and receptions and for some administrative offices. The restoration cost 13 million dollars, of which NJIT settled $7 million and the State of New Jersey contributed the remaining $6 million. The architect firm, Cody Eckert & Associates spearheaded the project.</p><br>
<h3>Exterior</h3><br>
<p>Eberhardt Hall currently stands three stories high with a footprint of 35,000 ft&sup2;. Precise original construction has left the exterior of the building almost unaltered. It was recreated to replicate the original building from the 19th century.</p><br>
<h3>Interior</h3><br>
<p>Much of the interior had been modified throughout the early years. The only major piece of structure that is still intact is the grand staircase. The interior has been restored to what it might have looked like in the Victorian era, with electrified gaslight fixtures, Victorian patterned wallpaper, carpeting, and wood trim. The building houses a central lobby, board room, dining room and meeting rooms. Outside, there is a beautiful gated green and bluestone forecourt.</p><br>
<h2>Award</h2><br>
<p>The restoration of Eberhardt Hall received the 2006 Donald T. Dust Recognition Award, from the Newark Preservation and Landmarks Committee on February 28, 2006. It is the highest annual honor from the Newark Preservation and Landmarks Committee.</p><br>
<p>The Townsend House, also known as Lundale Farm, is an historic, American home that is located near Pughtown in South Coventry Township, Chester County, Pennsylvania.</p><br>
<p>The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.</p><br>
<h2>History and architectural features</h2><br>
<p>This historic residence was built in three phases. The oldest section dates to 1796, with additions made during the early nineteenth century and in 1950. The main house was built during the first two phases and is a -story, five-bay, random fieldstone structure that is coated in stucco. It has a gable roof and a brick chimney at the west gable end. The 1950 addition is a -story structure attached at the east end. Also located on the property is a stone springhouse that dates to the early eighteenth century.</p><br>
<p>The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.</p><br>
<p>The Howard County Courthouse is located at North Main and Bishop Streets in Nashville, Arkansas, the seat of Howard County. It is a two-story brick building in the shape of an H, built in 1939 with funding from the Public Works Administration. It is Moderne in style, designed by the Little Rock firm Erhart & Eichenbaum. The front facade, facing east, has a central entrance framed in black marble, an element repeated on the secondary entrances on the north and south facades. The interior hallways are covered in expanses of tile in earth tones, and the Art Deco woodwork in the courtrooms is original to the period.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.</p><br>
<p>Windego Park Auditorium/Open Air Theater is an amphitheater in Anoka, Minnesota, located on the Rum River. The theater was built in 1914 and was spurred by the City Beautiful movement, as well as Anoka citizens&#39; interest in outdoor entertainment and recreation. Its main organizer, Thaddeus P. Giddings, was a promoter of music education and had been organizing community singalongs in the summer of 1913. The theater is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>The amphitheater was designed by William Gray Purcell, from the notable Prairie School firm of Purcell & Elmslie. The seating is on a steep slope, while the stage is on the level portion of the river bank. There is space for 1600 spectators. Purcell was particularly interested in designing the awning system after having taken an interest in the awnings used in the Roman Colosseum.</p><br>
<p>In 1936, Giddings left for Michigan to organize Interlochen Music College (now known as Interlochen Center for the Arts) in Interlochen, Michigan. Community interest in the amphitheater waned, and the facility started decaying, with shrubs and trees starting to grow between the amphitheater&#39;s concrete risers. In 1979, an architecture student from the University of Minnesota drafted a plan to restore the amphitheater, and this restored interest in preserving it. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places that year, and community organizers did some cleanup work and patched the concrete steps. In 1997, the Windego Park Society was organized.</p><br>
<p>The Ames Shovel Shops, also known as Ames Shovel Works or Ames Shovel Shop, is a historic 19th century industrial complex located in North Easton, Massachusetts. It is part of the North Easton Historic District, and consists of several granite buildings constructed between 1852 and 1885, along with several newer additions and outbuildings dating to about 1928.</p><br>
<p>The site is adjacent to the H. H. Richardson Historic District of North Easton, which includes several buildings designed by architect Henry Hobson Richardson, commissioned by the Ames family, owners of the shovel company.</p><br>
<p>In April 2009, the shops were named one of the 11 most endangered historic sites in the United States, by the National Trust for Historic Preservation, due to the pending proposal to redevelop the main portion of the site into residences.</p><br>
<p>However, in November 2009, an agreement was reached for a scaled-down development, endorsed by the National Trust. Construction began in April 2012, and was expected to take about 18 months; the project was completed in 2015.</p><br>
<h2>Historical background</h2><br>
<p>The Ames Shovel Company traces its origins to 1774 when Capt. John Ames began making iron shovels at West Bridgewater, Massachusetts. His son Oliver Ames Sr. moved the company to North Easton in 1803. In 1844, the elder Ames would transfer the shovel business to two of his sons, Oakes and Oliver Jr., and the company would become known as Oliver Ames & Sons. Within the next few years, gold would be discovered in California in 1848, and in Australia in 1851, creating a worldwide demand for the company&#39;s shovels, which were already known for their high quality.</p><br>
<p>In 1851, the original shovel shop was destroyed by fire. The company would soon rebuild, and by 1852 the first of the new shops had been completed. Strong demand for shovels would continue through this period with the great expansion of railroads and later the American Civil War. Abraham Lincoln personally asked Oakes Ames to supply shovels to the Union Army. This made the Ames brothers very wealthy men. The Ames brothers entered politics and became influential in financing the construction of the Union Pacific Railroad, as well as the development of the village of North Easton. Expansion of the shovel factory continued over the years until 1928.</p><br>
<p>Ames shovels became standard issue for troops in the USA Army for every conflict from the American Civil War to Korea.</p><br>
<p>The Ames Shovel Company ceased production in Easton in 1952.</p><br>
<h2>Recent history</h2><br>
<p>Since the 1950s the complex has been occupied by a variety of small businesses. The Ames brand is now part of the Ames True Temper Company, headquartered in Camp Hill, Pennsylvania</p><br>
<p>As of early 2009, the main shop complex was the subject of a redevelopment proposal that would significantly alter the site with the demolition of several historic structures and the construction of new residential buildings. In 2008, the site was designated as one of the most endangered historic places in the state by advocacy group.</p><br>
<p>The northernmost building, the 1870 handle shop is currently occupied by the local YMCA, and is not part of the redevelopment proposal. The abutting Richardson-designed Old Colony Railroad Station is currently occupied by the. The railroad station sits on a short remaining section of track that runs along the Shovel Shop property only. However, the abandoned rail corridor is currently under consideration for expansion of the MBTA commuter rail line from Stoughton to Fall River and New Bedford.</p><br>
<p>As of September 2014, the site has been redeveloped into apartment housing and is now renting apartments. It has undergone considerable redevelopment, while keeping the historic aspect of its buildings. Signs describing the various buildings and their history are in place. There are many walking paths in the area.</p><br>
<p>The historic North Easton Station and former Dighton and Somerset Railroad right-of-way is proposed for Phase 2 of the South Coast Rail project, which would extend the MBTA Commuter Rail&#39;s Stoughton Branch to meet the Phase 1 route at East Taunton station, with through-running to New Bedford and Fall River by 2030.</p><br>
<p>The Merrill Lock No. 6 is the remnant of a historic lock and dam complex located along the Ohio River at Industry, Pennsylvania, United States. The remaining buildings, which now compose a restaurant, are together listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>Construction</h2><br>
<p>The dam was built at the community of Merrill (now a part of the borough of Industry), near the mouth of Raccoon Creek, as part of the process of canalization of the Ohio River. Construction began at the site on June 2, 1892, several years before many of Pennsylvania&#39;s other Ohio River dams were started. By late 1903, construction was virtually complete; only the lock gates remained to be placed, as well as the necessary buildings that were yet unfinished. Within a year, the gates had been added and the buildings completed. Operations began on August 3, 1904; the entire project had cost $1,123,441.80. The complex was named for William Emery Merrill, an officer of the United States Army Corps of Engineers who had been responsible for the earliest successful Ohio River dam in Pennsylvania.</p><br>
<h2>Site profile</h2><br>
<p>Lock No. 6 itself was a concrete structure, 600 feet by 110 feet (180 m by 33 m); its first gates were built of pine wood, but steel gates were eventually put in their place. It lay at the northern end of the dam, which had a 600 ft spillway and included a weir and two other locks. The three buildings on the site were a three-story powerhouse (measuring about sixty feet/18 m square), which contained the machinery to operate the lock, and with two identical -story residences for the lock master and for the crew that worked at the site. All three buildings were built of brick on a concrete foundation and roofed with slate.</p><br>
<p>Only one modification to the site was made during the lock&#39;s operational years. In the early 1920s, the engines in the powerhouse were converted from coal-burning to oil-burning; this was a purely interior change and had no effect on the exterior of the building.</p><br>
<h2>Recent history</h2><br>
<p>After the construction of the Montgomery Locks and Dam downstream in 1936, the Merrill Lock and Dam ceased to operate. It was recognized for its historical integrity on September 4, 1980, when the buildings, all brick Romanesque structures, were listed on the National Register of Historic Places. By this time, the buildings had been abandoned for nearly 45 years, but they still remained in their original places and in virtually original condition—a status unequalled by any comparable site. After a period of reconstruction, the powerhouse was opened in early 2000 as a restaurant, the Lock 6 Landing. Its position along the riverside enables the restaurant to operate a marina for passing boaters. The lock master&#39;s residence, located downstream of the powerhouse, was removed at some point after the property was listed on the Register.</p><br>
<p>Entranceways at Main Street at Lamarck Drive and Smallwood Drive are a set of complementary residential subdivision stone entranceways built in 1926. They are located on Main Street  in the hamlet of Snyder, New York within the town of Amherst, which is located in Erie County. These entranceways are markers representing the American suburbanization of rural areas through land development associated with transportation on the edges of urban developments. The Smallwood entranceway is a pair of symmetric groupings of stone gatehouses and posts flanking the two sides of the drive at Main Street. The Lamarck entranceway is a pair of Y-shaped and U-shaped stone half-walls flanking the two sides of the drive at Main Street. The entranceways were added to the National Register of Historic Places on December 7, 2005.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Williamsville developed around a mill that was erected in 1811 and the town of Amherst was born in 1818. At that time Main Street served as the main link from Williamsville and Amherst to Buffalo. Main Street was displaced as "the unchallenged main artery of Amherst and Western New York" by the Erie Canal in 1825 and later by adjacent railroads. By 1866, Buffalo Street Railway Company built a street car system that ran on Main Street from Amherst to Buffalo. Daily stage coach service also began in 1866 along Main Street and continued until it was displaced by an electric trolley in 1893, the track ran 4.5 mi from Main and Bailey Avenue (USA Route 62 in New York) to the east with stops that included Entranceways at Main Street at Lamarck Drive and Smallwood Drive.</p><br>
<p>The early 20th century estate era gave way to the residential subdivision era. The subdivisions in suburban Buffalo took on an urban flavor along the area&#39;s main thoroughfares and paths of migration. Charles S. Burkhardt began Audubon Terrace on 400 acres north of Main Street in October 1919 on the Taylor and Satterfield Estates. In May 1923, Burkhardt began to create 585 lots south of Main Street extending to Wehrle Drive on the former Witmer Farm property.</p><br>
<h2>Location</h2><br>
<p>Main Street is a four-lane road running east–west connecting Williamsville (the other side of Interstate 290 (I-290), known as the Youngman Expressway) to points westward such as the neighboring hamlet of Eggertsville and downtown Buffalo. The entranceways are located proximately to large residential lawns of surrounding houses in the 1920s-built subdivisions. From the junction with the I-290 heading west, the first intersection (after the adjacent Main Street and Kensington intersection) is a four-way light where it meets Lamarck Drive from the south and Smallwood Drive from the north. Both streets serve two way traffic. The entranceways sit on the four corners of this intersection.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<h3>Smallwood Drive</h3><br>
<p>Both of the Smallwood Drive groupings of stones on the north side of Main Street have dominant octagonal gatehouses built upon four pairs of stained heavy timber columns supported by quarry-faced random ashlar half-walls on cut stone chamfered bases. The bases flank Smallwood Drive&#39;s concrete parallel sidewalks run along through the centerline of the gatehouses. The Main Street sidewalk passes in front of the gatehouses. The columns are braced with heavy timber lintel on open sides supported by pegged heavy timber brackets that form a lancet-head arch. The structures are topped by steeply-pitched and flared standing seam copper roofs that have weathervanes that are located nearly two stories above the street land grading and that depict flying birds.</p><br>
<p>The Smallwood Drive gatehouse sides have tall and slightly tapered have quarry-faced random ashlar stone posts with chamfered corners on stone bases. These posts support flat cast capitals beneath wrought iron balustrades with filigreed corners. The structures still host original hexagonal metal and glass light fixtures that hang from metal brackets on the Smallwood Drive post faces. The pair of groupings has Tudor Revival architectural influences.</p><br>
<h3>Lamarck Drive</h3><br>
<p>Both of the Lamarck Drive groupings of stones on the south side of Main Street are composed of a pair of symmetric stone structures flanking the drive. Each stone grouping features a tall capped, stone post topped by a large cut metal pictorial sign. The posts have flanking stone Y-shaped half-walls parallel to the drive. These half-walls have corresponding block U-shaped half-walls that along with the Y-shaped half-walls jointly form a square through which new concrete sidewalks run along Lamarck Drive. The design also has Tudor Revival influences in concert with the surrounding residences.</p><br>
<p>The posts have 4 x bases and stand 12 ft in height, while the half walls stand approximately 4 ft. Both structures are made of quarry-faced random ashlar limestone on a cut and smooth finished chamfer stone base. The posts have chamfered edges. The posts include randomly located tan- and brown-colored granite blocks. Similar blocks are at the top and midpoints of the half-walls. The half-walls are coped with recently installed rectangular cut and finished stone slabs that have rough cut edges protruding over the half-walls. An octagonal pyramid of three sequentially smaller cast concrete courses with slightly flared edges cap the posts. The Main Street post faces have the original hexagonal metal and glass light fixtures hanging from metal hooks, while only the hooks remain on the Lamarck faces.</p><br>
<p>Atop the posts are signs of painted metal panels with silhouette depictions braced below by filigree metal brackets. The signs are 11 ft in length and 3.5 ft in height. They neither match nor mirror each other. The west sign depicts a Native American domestic scene including trees, teepees, a camp fire with trestle, and figures carrying a deer from a pole. The east sign depicts Tudor Revival architecture. Christ the King Church is located at 30 Lamarck Drive at Main Street on the southeastern corner. The other three corners are residential addresses.</p><br>
<h2>Legacy</h2><br>
<p>The entryways remain in their original location, retain original design, setting, and materials. The entranceways continue to serve their original functions of marking the vehicular and pedestrian entrance to the subdivision. The eastern Smallwood Drive entrance provides shelter for Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority Metro Bus riders heading west toward the Buffalo Metro Rail and downtown Buffalo, New York. The residential dwellings adjacent to the entrances are original and the setting has had no known changes since the widening of Main Street in the 1920s. Charles S. Burkhardt purchased the land for the Audubon Terrace (Smallwood side) and Audubon Terrace South (Lamarck side) subdivisions that these entranceways have marked since their 1926 construction. The entranceways are in fair condition despite perceptible light fixture changes and shoddy repairs. Trayfield Corporation, which has little known history, is the builder of the circa 1925 shelter entranceways and subdivision according to what is known about them.</p><br>
<p>These entranceways are significant as relatively rare structures associated with the transformation of the formerly rural Town of Amherst into a residential suburban Buffalo community known as the hamlet of Snyder. They represent the American suburbanization of rural areas through land development associated with transportation on the edges of urban developments. They are symbolic of the marketed character of the residential developments as a desirable residential alternative to urban life. The entranceways were added to the National Register of Historic Places on December 7, 2005.</p><br>
<p>District No. 28 School is a school building in the city of Ramsey, Minnesota, United States, just north of Anoka. The school is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It was originally a school house, but later became the town hall. The building is one of only a few structures remaining from the beginnings of the township.</p><br>
<p>The comprehensive plan for Ramsey&#39;s development, developed in late 2008, views the old town hall as a metaphor for the community: "A small, aging brick building stands like a question mark between a day-care center and a bank. A weathered sign identifies it as the Ramsey Town Hall. Although no longer used, this structure personifies Ramsey today. It asserts the key issue is not if Ramsey should grow, but how it will it develop."</p><br>
<p>The city of Ramsey has been exploring options for the old town hall. One option would be to use it as community space and/or a historical center. Another option would be to lease out the space to a nearby business as additional office or meeting space. The third option would be to move the building from its current location to a new location in a city park and to use it as community space or a historical center. Under all three options under discussion, the renovation would be completed. However, moving the building would most likely cause it to lose its status as a historical site.</p><br>
<p>The Courthouse of Crawford County, Ohio, is a landmark of the county seat, Bucyrus, Ohio. The courthouse was built in 1854 on East Mansfield Street by architect Harlan Jones and was added to the National Register of Historic Places on 1985-02-28 as a part of the Bucyrus Commercial Historic District.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Crawford County was established in 1820 but the issue of a county seat was not resolved for 10 years. The county was divided between the northern population, favoring Crawford and the southern citizens who favored Bucyrus. The first county building, the jailhouse was built in 1827. The issues dragged on until the election of 1830, when the commissioners selected Bucyrus to be the temporary county seat. During much exhausting campaigning, it was decided to allow the county seat to remain in Bucyrus.</p><br>
<p>The first courthouse was designed by Colonel James Kilbourne and was completed in 1832 and accepted by the county in 1833. The two-story brick building resembled the Ohio Statehouse with a flat roof and a central cupola. The entire facade was painted white to give it a more stately appearance. During construction a scaffolding collapsed killing two workers, the names of which are located in the location of their death. In 1837 the decision was made to place a bell in the cupola and the county purchased on for $100.</p><br>
<p>As the construction on the courthouse was finishing, the old county jail of 1827 burned down. The county did have enough funds to construct a new one and this project was placed on hold until 1839. The new jailhouse was located close to the courthouse. The soft brick used in construction allowed many prisoners to escape which led to the whole block being surrounded by a solid board fence.</p><br>
<p>The needs of the county were met until it was decided that a new courthouse was needed in the 1850s. The county chose the Greek Revival plans drafted by O.S. Kinney from Cleveland. The red-brick building stood two stories tall and was topped by a cupola of white oak which housed a 1,500-pound cast-iron bell. On either side of the tower was a clock face, added in 1892. In 1895 a new bell was purchased and hung in the old tower. The front of the building contained a central door reached by a flight of stairs and framed by four wooden Doric columns.</p><br>
<p>The county was again in need of more room and decided on expanding the brick structure already standing. The idea was made to surround the brick building and to fix the weak points by remodeling them. The architect hired for this remodel was Harlan Jones of Mansfield. Extra room was provided by wings and in 1906 to 1908 a new stone-clad exterior was placed over the original brick front facade and the wooden columns were replaced with stone. A front portion was added and included a new courtroom. The roof was reinforced, and a dome was added. The dome was placed over the courtroom for extra light and was made by Bryant Art Glass of Columbus.</p><br>
<h2>Exterior</h2><br>
<p>The courthouse contains three floors and is made up of rusticated sandstone blocks. The bottom floor is partially underground and contains small square windows. The second and third floor windows are large rectangular windows, with the second floor windows capped by stone head casings.</p><br>
<p>The main entrance is located in a projected portico reached by a flight of steps. Six Corinthian columns support the entablature and pediment above. The doors are surmounted by a transom and sidelights with Ionic columns supporting a false balcony above.</p><br>
<p>The roof is surrounded by a balustrade with a central drum rising to an entablature. The tower continues to a four-faced clock with decorative iron-work, four Ionic columns support a pedimented roof. A circular drum with large rectangular windows rise to a dome, which in turn supports a small lantern.</p><br>
<p>Delaware Avenue Historic District is a national historic district located at Buffalo, New York, United States, and Erie County. It is located along the west side of Delaware Avenue  between North Street to the South and Bryant Street to the North.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>When listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974, the district encompassed 17 contributing buildings and 1 contributing structure reflective of when Buffalo had more millionaires per capita than any city in America, and this was once Millionaires&#39; Mile. The mansions were built between about 1890 and World War I and reflect Renaissance Revival and Gothic Revival style architecture.</p><br>

<p>First Parish Church is a historic church located within the Church Green Historic District in Taunton, Massachusetts. It is the fourth meetinghouse since 1647 to be located on what was the original town common. The current church building was built in 1830, constructed of field stone in the Gothic Revival style.</p><br>
<p>The church steeple is capped with four pinnacles and contains the 1804 bell from the third meetinghouse. In 1869 the sanctuary was enlarged and a chapel was also added. In 1965 another addition was made to the east.</p><br>
<h2>Parish history</h2><br>
<p>The First Parish was established in 1637 by a group of Puritans from Devonshire, England, led by Elizabeth Pole, by way of Dorchester, Massachusetts. In 1640, they renamed the new settlement after Taunton, England. The First Parish was the first church to be established in what would become Bristol County, Massachusetts, and only the fifth church to be established within Plymouth Colony.</p><br>
<p>The first two meetinghouses built on Church Green also served as the location for civic and political business until 1746. The third church was built in 1794, and was designed by architect Charles Bulfinch.</p><br>
<p>The parish is now a Unitarian-Universalist congregation.</p><br>
<p>The church has a Tiffany stained glass window.</p><br>
<p>Edgemoor Farm Dairy Farm was built as part of a dairy farm in 1913 in Santee, California. Edgemoor was part of a Spanish land grant to Maria Antonio Estudillo who married Miguel de Pedrorena, a native of Madrid. By the 1850s, through a variety of ways, individuals obtained portions of the grant and began to farm. Walter Hamlin Dupee purchased Edgemoor Farm in 1913 and built it into a national award-winning dairy farm, polo pony ranch and early tourist attraction.</p><br>
<p>Such was his prominence that the Guernsey Breeders Association in 1921 called his place "the foremost authority and breeder in the USA", having given the most grand champions at this ranch founded by John and Walter Dupee. Dupee said, "I am interested in pure breeding stock, modern equipment, and scientific methods, which I place at the disposal of all dairymen". A series of personal setbacks and problems brought Dupee to sell Edgemoor to Godfrey L. Strobeck.</p><br>
<h2>As a home for the aged and indigent</h2><br>
<p>Following Edgemoor&#39;s glory days as a commercial dairy, the County of San Diego purchased the property from Godfrey L. Strobeck for use as a "last resort" home for the aged and indigent in 1923. It was one of the last poor farms (or farm homes) established in the United States prior to the Great Depression and the introduction of Social Security. By the mid-1920s the Edgemoor cared for 520 people. Throughout the years the County added new buildings; in 1950 apartments and wards were added. In 1953 the County of San Diego discontinued the farm, dairy operations and planned renovation of the barn. Two years later the place name was changed to Edgemoor Geriatric Hospital.</p><br>
<h2>As a geriatric hospital</h2><br>
<p>Other buildings were demolished in 1957, 1959, 1960 and 1966, and a new hospital building was erected in 1966. The former milking barns were converted to living quarters. All of the original buildings of the Edgemoor Farm, including the Williamson Ranch House and the Dupee Ranch House are gone. Other early structures, such as the pony stables and milking barns, are either gone or irretrievably remodeled for other purposes. Only one building of the Dupee era remained: the Dutch gambrel roof barn, built in 1913.</p><br>
<p>A series of financial problems, facility issues, and basic care of patients, led to the decision to close Edgemoor Geriatric Hospital. The closure would facilitate the building of a new Edgemoor Hospital capable of caring for future generations of patients. The new facility opened January 23, 2009.</p><br>
<h2>Historic Registered Site</h2><br>
<p>On April 17, 1985 a formal Nomination was sent to the National Park Service, to register the Santee Barn as a historic site. On May 16, 1986 The Santee Barn was added to the National Register of Historic Places. In the following years the Barn&#39;s address was changed from 9064 Edgemoor Drive to its current address at 9200 N. Magnolia Ave.</p><br>
<h2>Santee Historical Society Museum</h2><br>
<p>Through the assistance of charitable donations, the Santee Barn is currently an active museum and house to the office of the Santee Historical Society.</p><br>
<p>Entranceway at Main Street at Roycroft Boulevard is a suburban residential subdivision entranceway built in 1918. It is on Main Street  in the hamlet of Snyder, New York, in the town of Amherst within Erie County. The entranceway is a marker that represents the American suburbanization of rural areas, suburbanization that occurred through transportation-related land development on the edges of urban areas. It consists of a variety of half-height wall formations, featuring a semicircular wall on the Roycroft Boulevard median&#39;s intersection with Main Street. The entranceway was added to the National Register of Historic Places on December 7, 2005.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Williamsville developed around a mill erected in 1811, and the town of Amherst was born in 1818. At that time, Main Street was the main link from Williamsville and Amherst to Buffalo. Main Street was displaced as "the unchallenged main artery of Amherst and Western New York" by the Erie Canal in 1825 and later by adjacent railroads. By 1866, Buffalo Street Railway Company built a street car system that ran on Main Street from Amherst to Buffalo. Daily stage coach service also began in 1866 along Main Street and continued until it was displaced by an electric trolley in 1893, the track ran 4.5 mi from Main and Bailey Avenue (USA Route 62 in New York) to the east with stops that included Entranceways at Main Street at Lamarck Drive and Smallwood Drive.</p><br>
<p>The early 20th century estate era gave way to the residential subdivision era. Suburban Buffalos subdivisions took on an urban flavor along the areas main thoroughfares and paths of migration. Charles S. Burkhardt began Audubon Terrace on 400 acres north of Main Street in October 1919 on the Taylor and Satterfield Estates.</p><br>
<h2>Location</h2><br>
<p>Today, Main Street is a four-lane road running east–west through Snyder connecting Williamsville (the other side of Interstate 290, known as the Youngman Expressway) to points westward such as the neighboring hamlet of Eggertsville and downtown Buffalo. The entranceway is located proximate to large residential areas of trees and grass, 1920s-built subdivisions flanking a wide central median. It is situated three blocks east of Harlem Road (New York State Route 240). Across Main Street and northeast from the Entranceway is the Eggertsville-Snyder Branch Library of the Buffalo & Erie County Public Library located at 4622 Main Street. Each side of the median serves one-way traffic. The entranceways sit on the two south side corners of this T-junction intersection.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>Completed in 1918, the entranceways featured element is the nearly semi-circular random ashlar stone half-walls on Roycroft Boulevards axis of symmetry, which is at a 22-degree angle to Main Street. The wall has one central and two end square posts that are approximately 4 ft in height and that have poured concrete caps that are not original. Each post has a metal and glass contemporary street lamp projecting from its center. Quarter points of the arc have stone pilaster ornamentation. The running portion of the wall has a continuous cast in place coping cap shaped at a 45-degree angle, which forms an attached buttress three quarters the height of the posts. Past repairs have included incompatible stone and mortar patches. The Main Street paving and the grassy median abut the convex and concave sides, respectively. According to the August 5, 2005, application, the entranceway is in a state of disrepair, lacking a visible base and having a tilt.</p><br>
<p>On opposite sides of the Roycroft Boulevard roadways from the central feature are flanking structures with random ashlar stone posts and half-height walls. They are oriented parallel to the angular Roycroft Boulevard and have lengths proportionate to the central wall end post&#39;s distance from Main Street. Both walls are L-shaped with the longer length extending along Roycroft Boulevard and having a short cornered length along Main Street. These walls have capped, square stone buttress-less posts and corners marked by wall-height stone pilaster. On the opposite side of each from the a concrete sidewalk parallel to Roycroft Boulevard is a free-standing stone post. The west side is in fair condition, while the east side is out of vertical alignment and is in poor condition. The east side has the distinction of retaining the only original cast concrete cap with a circular recess on its north end post. It presumably once held an original lamp post and was once painted white. Its south end post has a four-piece, white terra cotta cap resembling the other non-original end posts in the set of structures.</p><br>
<h2>Legacy</h2><br>
<p>The entryways remain in their original location, retain original design, and setting. They continue to mark the entrance to the subdivision&#39;s entrance for vehicular and pedestrian traffic as they were originally designed to do. Abbott and Beymer Land Co. purchased the land for the Aurora Park subdivision that the entranceway has marked since its 1918 construction. The street and plot plan were designed by the Straley Brothers, who were civil engineers and surveyors from Buffalo. County engineer, George C. Diehl, had a role in the development of this subdivision. The entranceway was added to the National Register of Historic Places on December 7, 2005.</p><br>
<p>Quackenbush House is a historic building in Albany, New York. It is a house with a double-pitched gable roof that was built in about 1736. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Quackenbush House, built in the 1730s, was until recently considered the oldest house and structure in the city of Albany. However, it has recently been discovered that 48 Hudson Avenue may have been built as early as 1728. The Quackenbush House was originally beyond the city limit of the city of Albany as established by the Dongan Charter at Clinton Avenue, which was Patroon Street at the time. In 1812 the city would annex land to the north including the Quackenbush House. The building has been home to two French restaurants, Nicole&#39;s Bistro (1995–2008) and Le Canard Enchaine (2008–2009). Today the building is home to an English-style pub, The Olde English Pub and Pantry. The current mailing address for the restaurant is 25 Quackenbush Square. Also at Quackenbush Square is the Albany Heritage Area Visitors Center with a gift shop, the Henry Hudson Planetarium, and the Albany County Convention and Visitors Bureau.</p><br>
<p>East End Historic District is a national historic district located at Charleston, West Virginia. The district is set on a broad, ancient flood plain bordered by the Great Kanawha River on the south and by commercialized Washington Street on the north.</p><br>
<p>The West Virginia State Capitol complex forms an axis between the two important residential East End neighborhoods. The Statehouse dominates the vistas from all directions in the district. Holly Grove Mansion, constructed in 1815, is the oldest house in the East End. The East End displays a variety of architectural styles ranging from isolated surviving examples of the Greek Revival to the late Victorian Queen Anne. Also included, primarily in the western section, are examples of the eclectic style of the second half of the 19th century to the revivals of the pre-World War I period. Interspersed is a variety of adaptations and elements of almost every style: Italianate, Eastlake, Shingle, and Romanesque features being more prevalent in the western area, while the Georgian, Neo-Classical, Jacobethan, Prairie and Bungaloid are more often seen toward the eastern section.</p><br>
<p>Buildings are predominantly of brick, but there are a number of frame and stuccoed dwellings. Most buildings are single or double family dwellings of two or two and a half stories; exceptions are primarily apartment units of from three to six floors that blend quite well rather than more modern intrusions.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1971, and was increased in size in 2011.</p><br>
<p>Edgewood Historic District is a national historic district located at Charleston, West Virginia. The district is set on the West Side of the city and was the first planned suburb in Charleston. The area developed in the early 20th century. The architectural styles of Edgewood are eclectic, ranging from Neo-Classicism to Neo-Colonial, from Craftsman to Bungaloid.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.</p><br>
<h2>Fire</h2><br>
<p>The house listed as Nichols House, located at 856 Chester Road, was destroyed in May, 2023, when a small fire broke out and three fire hydrants in close proximity to the residence could not supply firefighters with enough water to contain the blaze.</p><br>
<p>District A is a historic worker housing district located in Manchester, New Hampshire, near the former Amoskeag Manufacturing Company millyard. It is bounded by Pleasant, State, Granite, and Bedford streets, and includes seven surviving tenement blocks  built by Amoskeag between 1843 and 1852. The district was added to the National Register of Historic Places on November 12, 1982.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>District A is a roughly rectangular area, about 6 acre in size, located between mill buildings lining the east bank of the Merrimack River and downtown Manchester. It consists of seven brick tenement blocks, either 2½ or 3½ stories in height, housing either six or ten units. Six of them are arrayed around a central courtyard bounded on the long sides by Bedford and State streets, while the seventh is parallel to the southernmost of the other blocks, facing Granite Street. They are all built with load-bearing brick walls, with granite window sills and lintels. Entrance treatments are typically late 19th or early 20th-century in style. The buildings are capped by gabled roofs, with paired chimneys at the ends and in between units. On some of the blocks, the end chimneys are joined by a brick curtain wall.</p><br>
<p>The Manchester Mills Company was organized in 1839 for the production of printed worsted-weight fabrics, and began operations in 1846. Soon afterward, four tenement blocks (including two that survive) were built near the southern end of the mill yard, between the two power canals (now Commercial and Canal streets), for workers employed in the printery, while another four (including three that survive) were built near the northern end of the mill. After the company built its Mill Number 2 in 1850, the two north-south tenements forming the courtyard were added. Of these ten blocks, one on the north side was demolished in 1862 and two on the south side were demolished in 1974.</p><br>
<p>Other portions of the Manchester Mills housing units survive in the National Register-listed District B.</p><br>
<p>District B is a historic worker housing district located in Manchester, New Hampshire, United States, near the former Amoskeag Manufacturing Company millyard. It is roughly bounded by Canal, Mechanic, Franklin, and Pleasant Streets, and was added to the National Register of Historic Places on November 12, 1982. It contains 32 contributing properties, including seventeen rowhouse tenement blocks built mainly between 1838 and 1850, in an area of approximately 170 acre.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>District B is a roughly rectangular area, located east of the mills formerly of the Amoskeag Manufacturing Company lining the eastern bank of the Merrimack River. Between Franklin and Mechanic Streets, several streets extend eastward from Canal Street (formerly the site of a power canal), lined for part of their extent to Elm Street with what are mainly tenement-style brick residential buildings. In addition to housing for workers, this area includes some of the oldest surviving examples of housing built for supervisory personnel. The district also includes three non-residential buildings: the former Amoskeag employment office, a 1937 bank, and a small brick factory building dating to the late 1930s.</p><br>
<p>The oldest of the surviving housing in this district was built in 1838-39 between Mechanic and Stark Streets, when the Amoskeag proprietors were building out the mills immediately to the west for the Stark Manufacturing Company. At that time, the worker housing blocks were oriented east–west (perpendicular to the canals and the mill buildings), with the overseer housing set crosswise to them. Of this first set of buildings, the overseer housing units have been demolished, but instances survive further south, in the housing blocks built for Amoskeag Mill 3 in 1843 between West Merrimack and Market Streets.</p><br>
<p>District C is a historic worker housing district located in Manchester, New Hampshire, near the former Amoskeag Manufacturing Company millyard, and surrounding area. It is roughly bounded by N. Hampshire Lane, Hollis, Canal, and Bridge streets, and was added to the National Register of Historic Places on November 12, 1982. It originally contained nine rowhouses in an area of approximately 5 acre; three have subsequently been demolished and replaced by an apartment complex.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>District C is a roughly rectangular area, located east of the mills formerly of the Amoskeag Manufacturing Company lining the eastern bank of the Merrimack River, and west of Elm Street, the city&#39;s principal commercial thoroughfare. It is bounded on the north by Hollis Street, on the east by North Hampshire Lane, and on the west by Canal Street. Five of the six surviving buildings in the district are north of Kidder Street, while one is between Kidder and Bridge Street. The three demolished buildings were located east of the latter building. Each of the buildings in the district is a rowhouse, set with a north-south orientation. Each is 2½ stories in height, built out of brick, and has four units. They are covered by dormered hip roofs, and entrances are set in pairs under Stick style hoods. At the rear of each unit is a two-story projection with a porch.</p><br>
<p>Four of the districts nine blocks were built in 1881 by the Amoskeag Company, and are the survivors of seven originally built at that time to a design by the companys civil engineer, George W. Stevens. Three of these have since been demolished. The other five were built in 1916 as overseer housing, and were the last group of housing to be built by the company. They were converted into condominiums in the 1970s.</p><br>
<p>District D is a historic worker housing district located in Manchester, New Hampshire, near the former Amoskeag Manufacturing Company millyard. It is roughly bounded by Canal, Langdon, Elm, and West Brook streets, and was added to the National Register of Historic Places on November 12, 1982. It contains three residential buildings constructed in 1864 in an area of about 3 acre.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>District D is located near the northern end of Manchesters mill district, between the mill buildings lining the canals next to the Merrimack River on the west, and Elm Street, the citys main downtown thoroughfare to the east. The districts historic buildings include two Second Empire worker rowhouses, oriented in an east-west direction facing West Brook and Langdon streets respectively, and a former overseers house located further up the hill on the south side of West Brook Street. The rowhouses are each three-story brick buildings with mansard roofs, with four units set in a stepped arrangement to compensate for the sloping terrain. The overseer&#39;s house is a four-unit two-story brick building covered with a hip roof, oriented north-south. The front of the building faces up the hill, with two entrance bays sheltered by gabled porticos, while two-story ells project from the rear.</p><br>
<p>These buildings were among several built in 1864 for the Langdon Mills, whose buildings (only one of which survives) stood to the west across what is now Canal Street. They were built by the Amoskeag Manufacturing Company according to its plans, and were among the last to use a standard layout, in which the worker housing is nearest the mills, the overseers are further up the hill, and an agents house (now no longer standing) on Elm Street, at the top of the rise. The overseers building is now separated from the worker tenements by a 20th-century warehouse.</p><br>
<p>District E is a historic worker housing district in Manchester, New Hampshire, near the former Amoskeag Manufacturing Company millyard, at 258-322 McGregor Street on the west bank of the Merrimack River. It consists of five single-family houses, built in 1882 for overseers at the mills. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on November 12, 1982.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>District E is located near the west portion of the historic former Amoskeag millyard, once one of the largest textile manufacturing companies in the world. It is located on the west side of McGregor Street, just north of the Notre Dame Bridge. The district consists of five wood-frame houses, built to two different plans. All are 2½ stories in height, and were originally finished with wooden clapboards. Architecturally they are best described as Stick style structures, with varying roof lines and projecting sections. Each has a single-story kitchen ell, and originally also had a carriage barn at the rear of the property.</p><br>
<p>When the Amoskeag Company mills were first developed in the 1830s and 1840s, housing for overseers and supervisors was typically of brick construction, and set above (and further from the mill than) the more tenement-style housing of the workers. These were all located on the east side of the river, and the first mills built on the west side did not have associated worker housing. These five houses were built in 1889 to address a need for supervisor housing in those mills. They originally had a view of the river, which was obscured by the construction of the Coolidge Mill in 1909.</p><br>
<p>The Sod House, which is also known as Marshall McCully Sod House, is a sod house built in 1894. It is located in Alfalfa County, Oklahoma approximately four miles north of Cleo Springs, Oklahoma.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Sod House was built by Marshal McCully in 1894. Sod houses were constructed by settlers of southern and western Oklahoma Territory because there was not enough timber to build wooden houses. The sod house near Cleo Springs is the only remaining sod house in Oklahoma that was built by settlers. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1970. The Sod House Museum (under the Oklahoma Historical Society) maintains the structure.</p><br>
<p>The Woodman Institute Museum is located at 182 Central Avenue in Dover, New Hampshire, United States. It is a museum dedicated to “To advance and develop passion for history, science, and the arts. To educate, excite, and inspire current and future generations about... a changing nation by preserving and exhibiting objects of historic significance, decorative and fine art, and natural science that connect Dover and its citizens to... the world.” It was created in 1915 with a bequest of $100,000 from philanthropist Annie Woodman to encourage her city&#39;s education in those three fields. The institute opened on July 26, 1916. Under the name of "Woodman Institute", the museum was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.</p><br>
<h2>Collection</h2><br>
<p>The museums campus now includes three brick houses of Federal style architecture, one of which is the former home of noted abolitionist Senator John P. Hale. Inside are exhibits of local history and natural history, in addition to art and antiques. One famous item is the saddle in which President Abraham Lincoln rode to review troops shortly before his assassination.

<p>The Charles H. Bigelow House is a historic building in Findlay, Ohio, United States, that was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on March 29, 2006. The home is considered to be a fine example of a Painted Lady, or polychrome Victorian architecture.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The house was built between 1888 and 1889 during a period of rapid economic growth in Findlay. The 7,500 ft&sup2; house was designed by architect Henry Oswald Wurmser in the Queen Anne, Stick/Eastlake style. The owner, Charles Henry Bigelow, was a son of an early settler and community leader, who built on his father&#39;s achievements to become a successful farmer, livestock breeder and business leader. Bigelow was one of many Findlay residents whose fortunes grew along with the booming regional economy of the late 19th century, spurred by discovery of gas fields nearby. Bigelow later married May Vance, a relative of former Ohio governor Joseph Vance.</p><br>
<p>The construction of the home during the gas boom of Findlay is evident by the many gas using fixtures original to the home. It originally had seven gas fireplaces, and many gas lamps. The original oriental brass light in the newel post is shaped like a dragon which breathed fire when the gas was lit. All have since been converted to wood-burning fireplaces or electric lights. In 1989, the exterior of the home was restored and repainted in a cracker cream, cottage red, village green, and lighter green in order to highlight the woodwork.</p><br>
<p>In 1992, the house appeared in Elizabeth Pomada and Michael Larsens Americas Painted Ladies: The Ultimate Celebration of our Victorians, a catalogue of exceptional polychrome Victorian or Edwardian homes. In 1995, the house appeared as a featured act of David Copperfield&#39;s The Magic of David Copperfield XVI: Unexplained Forces, although its history was falsified and it was referred to as the "Barclay House".</p><br>
<p>The Abrams Building was located at South Pearl Street  and Hudson Avenue in Albany, New York, United States. It was a brick commercial building constructed in the 1880s. In 1980 it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>Originally it was part of a row of similar buildings. By the time it was listed, all of the adjoining buildings had been demolished, and it was one of the few 19th-century commercial building in Albany&#39;s downtown that retained its original storefront.</p><br>
<h2>Building</h2><br>
<p>The building was located on the northwest corner of the former intersection (Hudson was vacated west of South Pearl as part of the arena construction) at the south edge of Albany&#39;s downtown, just outside the Downtown Albany Historic District. Across the street commercial buildings of a similar age and scale, some of them contributing properties to the historic district, still stand. The South Mall Arterial, an elevated freeway providing access to the government buildings in Empire State Plaza from the Dunn Memorial Bridge over the Hudson River to the east, is a block to the south. Across the arterial are the Mansion and Pastures neighborhoods, both also listed on the National Register as historic districts.</p><br>
<p>The Abrams was a five-by-five-bay four-story brick structure with a flat roof. At the street level was the original storefront, with cast iron decorations. On the side elevations some splayed-lintel windows had been bricked in. An additional entrance, to the upper stories, was located on the south facade.</p><br>
<p>All the second-story windows had round arches connected by molded brick stringcourses on the south (front) and side elevations. Atop them ran another stringcourse, with panels set between it and the third-story windows. They were topped in segmental arches connected by another stringcourse, and topped by panels with no top course. On the fourth story the central window had a rounded arch topped by a pediment that protruded into the paneled brick frieze. Another stringcourse connected its sill to those on the flanking windows, rectangular with flat lintels. All windows were set with one-over-one double-hung sash. At the roof there was a parapet with a small pediment in the center. On either side, and at the corner, were finials.</p><br>
<p>Inside the ground floor had two commercial spaces, with original cabinetry and tin ceilings. The second floor was a large meeting space. On the third and fourth floors were apartments, many having had original finishes and fixtures.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The opening of the Erie Canal in 1825 onwards triggered growth in Albany that lasted well into the next century. It became an industrial and financial center in addition to the seat of state government. New residential neighborhoods, such as the Mansion and Pastures, were developed south of the city&#39;s core, and streets extended to them, with new development replacing earlier structures.</p><br>
<p>One instance was the Abrams Building. It did not have that name at the time, but in 1885 Dr. John Bigelow, a professor at Albany Medical College, replaced an older, smaller structure his family owned. While there is no record of the architect, it bears a resemblance to the 1887 Albany Business College building, designed by the local firm of Ogden and Wright. Its Romanesque detailing was a popular style at the time.</p><br>
<p>It was in use almost immediately. By 1890 the commercial space housed a liquor store. Later it would be a confectionery, jewelry store and drug store. The upstairs meeting space was also busy, with over a hundred different social and fraternal organizations active in Albany at that time. Among them were the Grand Army of the Republic and the Sons of Temperance (prior to the opening of the liquor store).</p><br>
<p>In the late 20th century, the city&#39;s industries went into decline, and many of the buildings from its prosperous years suffered as well. Most were spared the wholesale destruction of urban renewal programs due to Albany politics, but some older buildings were demolished anyway. By the time the Abrams Building, which had taken the name of its then owner, was listed on the Register, it was the sole survivor of the row of similar buildings it once been part of.</p><br>
<p>The owner hoped that the listing would help spur the restoration and redevelopment of the property, but instead it was condemned when the Albany Civic Center project (now the Times Union Center) was approved. Along with the Abrams, ten other historic buildings, some of them contributing properties to the Downtown Albany Historic District, were slated for destruction. Local preservationists tried to save them all. The federal Urban Mass Transit Administration denied the city a grant to build an elevated walkway connecting the arena to the government buildings at Empire State Plaza, since it indicated it would proceed with the demolition before a federal review required by the National Historic Preservation Act for any federal action that might affect Register-listed properties. The buildings were demolished early in 1987.</p><br>
<p>The Basilica of St. Joseph is a Roman Catholic church located in Alameda, California. Its history dates back to early settlement of the City of Alameda, California. A former mission church of St. Anthonys in Oakland, the parish of St. Josephs was established in 1885. It is part of the Diocese of Oakland. The Basilica was added to the National Register of Historic Places on September 18, 1978.</p><br>
<h2>Origins</h2><br>
<p>The foundation of St. Josephs can be traced to a Catholic mission in Alameda, created in 1873 by San Francisco Archbishop Jose Sadoc Alemany to serve the growing Roman Catholic population. Land for the mission church, on the southeast corner of Santa Clara Avenue and Chestnut Street had been donated by Mr. Minturn, a non-Catholic, and the first Catholic church in Alameda was built. The mission church built in 1873, was used as a place of worship for over twenty years. The mission was served by Father William Gleeson and the priests of St. Anthonys Church in Oakland. each Sunday Fr. Gleeson would ride horseback (or come on foot) to Alameda each Sunday to offer Mass and teach Catechism.</p><br>
<p>With a growing congregation, Fr. Gleeson was assisted by Fr. J. B. McNally. Twice in a period of seven years the church was enlarged. Finally in 1881 a new church was built on the southwest corner of Chestnut Street and San Antonio Avenue. Fr. Gleeson had chosen this site for the convenience of the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur who had just built a girls&#39; school on the adjoining lot. Notre Dame Academy taught girls in grades one through twelve.</p><br>
<h2>Parish</h2><br>
<p>Father Michael McNaboe served ten years as pastor of St. Alphonsus in Suisun, when in 1882, Archbishop Alemany recalled McNaboe from rural Solano County to San Francisco. Father McNaboe in 1885 was instructed by the new archbishop Patrick William Riordan to establish in Alameda, St. Joseph&#39;s Parish. The original parish boundaries were the City of Alameda. McNaboe died on March 1, 1892.</p><br>
<p>Archbishop Riordan appointed Father John J. Sullivan, the pastor of the Old Saint Marys Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception in San Francisco, to be the second pastor of St. Josephs. Sullivan at once saw the need for a larger church. The laying of the cornerstone was August 12, 1894; Archbishop Riordan dedicated the gothic wooden church, January 20, 1895. Sullivan became ill and resigned as pastor of St. Josephs in January 1898; Riordan appointed Father Patrick A. Foley, the pastor of All Hallows in San Francisco, in his place. After fifteen years in Alameda, Foley was appointed pastor of St. Raphaels Church in San Rafael, California.</p><br>
<p>Riordan appointed Father James Bernard Praught as pastor of St. Josephs Church in Rio Vista in 1906, followed in 1913 by appointment as pastor of St. Josephs Parish in Alameda. Praught founded the St. Joseph Elementary School for boys and girls in 1916; the grammar school was completed in 1922.</p><br>
<p>The old wooden St. Joseph Church burned to the ground on the night of September 29, 1919. A new Church in the Spanish Colonial Revival Style, copied from the old mission in Monterey, was built.</p><br>
<p>Archbishop Hanna divided the Island City with the creation in 1925 of two parishes, St. Phillip Neri, (East End) Father Maurice O&#39;Keefe, pastor and St. Barnabas (West End) Father Patrick McGrattan, pastor. St. Phillip Neri, identified with the affluent and stable Fernside District. St. Barnabas, the transient military families stationed at NAS (Naval Air Station Alameda). St. Joseph continued to serve central Alameda. Children from the Alameda Catholic elementary schools of St. Joseph, St. Phillip Neri and St. Barnabas would attend St. Joseph Boys High School and Notre Dame Girls High School. In 1976 Bishop Begin erected St. Albert The Great Parish, built on former asparagus farm land, near the new "Harbor Bay Isle" subdivisions.</p><br>
<p>Father Praught placed a Plaque on the Saint Joseph Tower, TIME GOD&#39;s sublime GIFT! LIFE of the SOUL! Ours in trust to WORK: glorify TRUTH: constantly Pray: LIGHT! O GOD! MORE LIGHT! in memory Anna Marie Broderick A.D. 1928</p><br>
<p>On August 17, 1935, San Francisco Archbishop John J. Mitty presided over the consecration of the altar and church of St. Josephs. It was one of the few churches consecrated in the Archdiocese of San Francisco. In 1943, after thirty years at St. Josephs Parish. Praught retired and was succeeded by Father Robert J. OConnor (pastor of St. Phillip Neri, in Alameda - since 1928). Praught became Pastor Emeritus until his death in 1949. OConnor died in 1957.</p><br>
<p>Father Alvin P. Wagner, former pastor of St. Francis of Assisi in San Francisco, was appointed pastor of St. Josephs. On September 8, 1962, Pope John XXIII honored Father Wagner as a Monsignor; he was formally installed as a Domestic Prelate by Bishop Begin. That same year, the Diocese of Oakland was created from the Archdiocese of San Francisco and St. Josephs became part of the Oakland diocese. Monsignor Wagner retired in 1983 and it was then that the Congregation of the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary (SSCC) was asked by the Oakland Diocese to staff St. Joseph. In 2007, the Congregation of the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary decided to leave Saint Joseph&#39;s Community. Oakland Bishop Allen Vigneron returned the parish to the diocesan priests.</p><br>
<h2>St. Joseph Basilica</h2><br>
<p>The new church was designed by Massachusetts architect H.A. Minton, who had come west to help rebuild San Francisco after the 1906 earthquake. The cornerstone was set on August 22, 1920, by San Francisco Archbishop Edward Joseph Hanna. The church contained a bell donated by the Knights of Columbus, which had been fashioned from metal from the bell from the previous church decoyed by fire in 1919. The first Mass in the new church took place on December 25, 1921.</p><br>
<p>In the spring of 1972, St. Joseph&#39;s Church was elevated to the rank of a minor Basilica by Pope Paul VI, making it one of four basilicas in the western United States, including Missions in San Francisco, Monterey, and San Diego. The Pope gave the basilica the right of the conopaeum (a baldachin resembling an umbrella, called an umbraculum, in yellow and red silk, the colors associated with the Papal See) and the bell (tintinnabulum) carried side by side in procession at the head of the clergy.</p><br>
<p>The basilica has a Schoenstein organ. The basilica was added to the National Register in 1978.</p><br>

<p>Seclusaval and Windsor Spring is a historic property in Richmond County, Georgia that includes a Greek Revival building built in 1843.</p><br>
<p>It was deemed notable historically in several ways:</p><br>
<p>for its association with the historic Windsor Spring Water Company that sold water from the spring on the property</p><br>
<p>for having a short but intact part of historic Tobacco Road, a road which connected Savannah River docks to the big tobacco plantations of the county. Tobacco was brought to the river in hogsheads drawn by mules. This road section was never paved.</p><br>
<p>for being the nucleus of a settlement of relatives of Valentine Walker, a settlement that might have been the basis for a town or city, but which remained a small family settlement.</p><br>
<p>It is also significant for the architecture of the main house on the property, Seclusaval, which is a "Sand Hills-type cottage". Sand Hills-type cottage architecture is a local, modified form of Greek Revival architecture. The form has symmetry, wide entablatures, and classic columns of the Greek Revival style. And the front doorway of the house has a rectangular transom with side lights, also consistent with Greek Revival style. But it also has a "one-story, high-pitched side gable roof, three gable dormers, and a full-facade porch" that characterize the Sand Hills variation. Seclusaval is "an excellent example" of this type.</p><br>
<p>The property has eight contributing buildings and two other contributing structures (a spring house and a pavilion). The buildings are the main house, a slave cabin, a playhouse, a well house, a privy, a pantry, a smoke house, and a barn.</p><br>
<p>The property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.</p><br>
<p>Charles Towne Landing State Historic Site in the West Ashley area of Charleston, South Carolina preserves the original site of the first permanent English settlement in Carolina. Originally opened in 1970 to commemorate South Carolina&#39;s tricentennial, this 664 acre site is home to an exhibit hall, rental facility, a natural habitat zoo, ongoing archeological excavations, miles of trails, dozens of picnic tables, a replica tall ship, six fireable replica cannon, and much more.</p><br>
<p>The Tricentennial Commission selected Corkern and Wiggins of Hilton Head, South Carolina in 1968 to design the exhibition pavilion at the site. When public comments criticized a drawing of the proposed pavilion, a member of the Tricentennial Commission released a second drawing that, he claimed, would better present the structure; he noted also that the pavilion would be built near the location of the Old Town egg factory and not on the site of the Waring gardens. Many delays pushed the opening of the pavilion past the opening of the park itself. Problems with the roof of the pavilion were more complicated to fix than expected, and the discussion with the contractor and engineers over repairs continued into June 1970. Plans were finally agreed upon to reinforce the roof with additional columns. The pavilion eventually opened on July 16, 1970. During Hurricane Hugo, the pavilion was damaged and never repaired; permission to demolish the pavilion (and other park buildings) was granted in November 2002.</p><br>
<h2>Living history</h2><br>
<h3>Experimental Crop Garden</h3><br>
<p>The Experimental Crop Garden showcases crops planted by early colonists for food and profit. While offerings vary seasonally, sugarcane and indigo, two attempted cash crops, are frequently visible.</p><br>
<h3>Adventure</h3><br>
<p>Adventure is a replica of a ketch, a popular style of 17th-century cargo vessel. Similar ships carried commercial goods, foodstuffs, and even livestock between New York, Barbados, and everywhere in between. Renowned 20th century naval architect and historian William Avery Baker designed Adventure in 1969. The first Adventure served Charles Towne Landing from 1970 until 2004. The second Adventure was constructed in 2008 by Rockport Marine in Maine and sailed to Charles Towne Landing in October, 2008.</p><br>
<h3>Fortified area</h3><br>
<p>The Fortified Area of the site is bounded by a reconstructed palisade wall. Colonists constructed the original palisade wall to defend the young colony from a land-side attack from the Spanish. The Fortified Area also contains reconstructed earthwork fortifications and six replica cannon.

<p>The Wahkonsa Hotel, also known as Wahkonsa Manor, is a historic building located in Fort Dodge, Iowa, United States. It was built by the city&#39;s Commercial Club to provide a first-class hotel for the community. The five story, brick, Renaissance Revival-style structure was designed by the prominent Des Moines architectural firm of Liebbe, Nourse & Rasmussen. The building served as a hotel until 1972 when it was converted into apartments for low-income people. It retained the first-floor commercial space, which was original to the building. It was individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2008, and as a contributing property in the Fort Dodge Downtown Historic District in 2010.</p><br>
<p>The Oleson Park Music Pavilion, also known as the Karl King Bandshell, is located in Fort Dodge, Iowa, United States. The pavilion is associated with Karl King, a famed composer for concert and military bands, who advocated for its construction. It was designed by Henry L. Kamphoefner, a Sioux City architect at that time, who had previously designed the Grandview Park Music Pavilion in Sioux City. It was built as a Works Progress Administration  project. The WPA paid for 85% of its construction, with the City of Fort Dodge paying the rest. The poured concrete structure was built in a Modernist style with Art Deco overtones. It rises to a height of 36 ft, and it is known for its acoustical excellence. The pavilion replaced a bandstand that was built in the 1920s in the city square. It was dedicated to King in 1976, and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2003.</p><br>
<p>Nutwood in LaGrange, Georgia, in Troup County, is a building built in 1833. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.</p><br>
<p>The Nutwood home was built by Joel Dortch Newsom, who relocated to LaGrange from Hancock County in 1830. The house stands on what was then the Newsom family plantation, east of LaGrange.

<p>Liberty Hill Schoolhouse in Gainesville, Florida is a one-room schoolhouse built in 1892 to serve African-American children. It replaced a previous Liberty Hill School that was in operation by about 1869, and it operated until 1952. The school served students from the community of Rutledge.</p><br>
<p>It is 24.5 ft by 30.5 ft. There were no lights in the building and drinking water was brought in.</p><br>

<p>Liberty Hill in La Grange, Georgia, about 0.75 mi west of the Chattahoochee River in Troup County, is a Greek Revival style plantation house built in the 1830s or 1840s. The original cotton plantation owner, John T. Boykin, bought the piece of land the house is on in 1836. The house with its current 150 acre property, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.</p><br>
<p>Its nomination describes much of its layout as follows:Typical of many ante-bellum plantation houses along the river, Liberty Hill is a white frame Greek Revival home with four fluted Doric columns spanning the two-storey front porch. Built almost entirely from slave labor, the house followed the popular plan of many such river plantations. Consisting of two rooms separated by a central hall running the length of the house, it includes two one-storey shed rooms at the rear of the building, which were separated by an open porch.</p><br>
<p>It was deemed notable as</p><br>
<p>a significant example of an ante-bellum river plantation that was sustained by the booming cotton industry... Built in the heyday of the South, it remained intact throughout the War and subsequent years when it has continued to be a private residence to the present day.</p><br>

<p>Kahaluu Bay is a historic district and popular recreation area on the Kona coast of the Big Island of Hawaii.</p><br>
<h2>Early history</h2><br>
<p>This area has been populated for about 500 years, and in the 18th and 19th centuries was an important royal residence.</p><br>
<p>One major feature is Pa o ka menehune (which means literally "wall of the ancients"), a breakwater constructed in Ancient Hawaii that might have once enclosed the entire bay. Since construction of a heiau using the dry-stack masonry technique (uhau humu pohaku) was a major undertaking, it is unusual to find the concentration of about ten that were built on this bay.</p><br>
<p>The Kuemanu Heiau is on the north end of the bay. This was used by royalty to view surfing and as a residence.</p><br>
<p>Nearby the Keawaiki canoe landing site is popular today with local surfers.</p><br>
<p>Two ancient fishponds called Waikuaala and Poo Hawaii are still visible.</p><br>
<p>Royal Governor John Adams Kuakini had a thatched roof house, and</p><br>
<p>King David Kalākaua built a beach house in this area which has been reconstructed.</p><br>
<p>South of the bay is Hāpaialii Heiau, associated with astrological observation, built between 1411 and 1465 and restored in 2007.</p><br>
<p>The Keeku Heiau was used for human sacrifice (luakini) and Kapuanoni Heiau were also built just south of the bay.</p><br>
<p>Petroglyphs thought to depict the defeat of Kamalalawalu of Maui by Lonoikamakahiki can be viewed at low tide near the temples.</p><br>
<p>Several kuula (sacred stones, said to have been brought from Maui) were monuments to the plentiful fish and Green turtles that are still found in the bay.</p><br>
<h2>More recent history</h2><br>
<p>Across Alii Drive from the bay are the stone ruins of the original Helani Church built in 1861 by Rev. John D. Paris. It was built on the ruins of the Ohiamukumuku Heiau. As the population moved inland, a new Helani Church was constructed at a higher elevation still used by the congregation today.</p><br>
<p>On the grounds of a former Kahunas house, a Catholic church officially called "Saint Peters by the Sea" was built in 1880 on Laaloa bay, and then moved to its present location in 1912, run by the Saint Michael the Archangel Catholic Church Parish.</p><br>
<p>It is commonly known as "the little blue church", and is used as a landmark for canoe races.</p><br>
<p>In 1970, the Keauhou Beach Hotel was built on the point South of the bay.</p><br>
<p>The hotel was bought in 1987 for $13M by the Azabu Building Company, headed by Japanese businessman Kitaro Watanabe. Plans were to enlarge it and build a larger resort combined with the Kona Lagoon Hotel (built in 1975), and more facilities across the street, to be called the Azabu Kona Beach Resort.</p><br>
<p>There was also a botanical park called Kona Gardens on the uphill (mauka) side of the street.</p><br>
<p>However, the investors suffered financial problems in the 1990s.</p><br>
<p>The other properties were abandoned, reverting to the holder of the lease in 1995, the investment arm of Kamehameha Schools, which eventually also bought the remaining hotel.</p><br>
<p>In June 1996, three of the executives were arrested in Tokyo, suspected of concealing assets from creditors.</p><br>
<p>In 1997, the hotel was sold again to Trinity Investments from Chicago. The 462-room Kona Lagoon Hotel, closed since 1988, had fallen into disrepair.</p><br>
<p>Local people said the project was "cursed" because of all the sacred sites in the area, and it was torn down in 2004, with long-term plans to restore the historic sites. In 2012, Kamehameha Schools announced plans to close and eventually demolish the Keauhou Beach Hotel, and to build a cultural and educational complex on the site. The hotel closed in October 2012. As of August 2014, demolition is planned for fall 2015. Both hotels have been torn down and the site returned to natural condition.</p><br>
<p>The Kalahuu Bay District was added to the National Register of Historic Places on December 27, 1974.</p><br>
<h2>Recreation</h2><br>
<p>The bay is still used today by surfers, with a surf school across the street from the ancient canoe landing.</p><br>
<p>The area around the bay was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1974 as historic district number 74000713 in 1974. The state registry lists it as site 10-37-4150.</p><br>
<p>The south end of the bay became Kahaluu Beach County Park in 1953, a popular snorkeling spot, although the beach is rocky with some gray sand.</p><br>
<p>The parking lot is open 7am - 7pm, and lifeguards are on duty during limited hours.</p><br>
<p>The Kohala Center sponsors a program called ReefTeach to educate visitors about the preservation of the bay, and has produced some educational videos on the history of the area.</p><br>
<p>An educational festival called the Ocean Fair is held here as part of the Kona Earth Festival, associated with Earth Day.</p><br>
<p>The hotel is now called the Outrigger Keauhou Beach Resort.The hotels have both been torn down.</p><br>
<p>Two more Heiaus on this point are being reconstructed. Directly south of this point is another historic area, Keauhou Bay.</p><br>
<p>The Grace Church Complex, saw its 175th anniversary in 2019, is a historic Episcopal church complex in Massapequa, Nassau County, New York. The complex consists of the church, surrounding parish cemetery, the Floyd-Jones family cemetery, and the DeLancey Floyd-Jones Free Library. The small church was built in 1844 by Elbert Floyd-Jones and remodeled in 1905. It is a frame structure on a brick foundation and consists of a vestibule, nave, and chancel. It is in the Gothic Revival style and features a square bell tower with modest spire. The church also has Tiffany glass windows added during the remodeling. Sometime after 1983, the old Grace Church was given to the Historical Society of the Massapequas.</p><br>
<p>The DeLancey Floyd-Jones Free Library was built in 1896 and is a two-by-two-bay one-room structure that served as the only public library in Massapequa for 60 years. The library was founded and built by DeLancey Floyd-Jones (1826–1902). Initially, the library, which Col. Floyd-Jones gave to Massapequa along with an endowment, was open three days a week and had enough space on its shelves to accommodate up to 2,500 books.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983. It also includes two structures that are Oyster Bay municipal landmarks.</p><br>
<p>The Most Holy Redeemer Church is located at 1721 Junction Street in Southwest Detroit, Michigan, within the West Vernor–Junction Historic District. The church was once estimated as the largest Roman Catholic parish in North America. West Vernor–Junction Historic District is adjacent to Mexicantown and contains a growing Mexican community and resurgent neighborhood.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The parish was founded in 1880 by Redemptorist father Aegidius Smulders, a former chaplain in the Confederate army. Initially the parish served a congregation predominantly of Irish immigrants, many of whom worked in the tobacco factories. Services were held at first, above Patrick Ratigans general store on West Jefferson Avenue and later in what was then known as Paddy McMahons Saloon. Church services were held on the first floor, while the second served as a residence for priests. The first church building, a wood-frame structure designed by Redemptorist Brother Thomas, and known as the Little Church on Sand Hill, was dedicated in 1881. A second larger Gothic style church was built in 1896 during the tenure of pastor Benedict Neithart.</p><br>
<p>As Irish and German residents moved to the suburbs, people of Latin American descent from the Corktown area of Detroit took their place. A mass in Spanish was instituted in 1960. In 1999, The Redemptorists turned the parish over to the Archdiocese of Detroit. The parish school was started by the Sisters of the Immaculate Heart of Mary in 1882. Sisters of the Society of Our Lady of the Most Holy Trinity (SOLT) arrived at Most Holy Redeemer Parish in August 2017 to work in the school and serve the parish. SOLT Seminarians are also in residence at the parish, studying at the nearby Sacred Heart Major Seminary.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>Built in 1921, the present church and was dedicated on April 1, 1923. Designed by the firm of Donaldson and Meier, it was constructed in the Roman basilica style with a Romanesque façade. The church seats about 1,400.</p><br>
<p>The stained glass double lancet aisle windows were designed by Charles Jay Connick. Those in the south aisle depict the parables of Jesus, those on the north side, the miracles. The clerestory windows are by the Detroit Stained Glass works. The Pewabic mosaic floor tile is by Mary Chase Perry Stratton.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The parish contains a longstanding elementary school, along with the Detroit Cristo Rey High School, which has operated since 2008 inside of the building of the former Holy Redeemer High School.</p><br>
<p>As in the other Southwest Detroit neighborhoods, such as Springwells Village, West Vernor Highway is the main commercial thoroughfare. Churches, parks, recreation centers, and theaters anchor neighborhoods such as the West Vernor-Junction intersection that Holy Redeemer parish dominates.</p><br>
<h2>In popular culture</h2><br>
<p>The Hollywood movie The Rosary Murders (1987), starring actors Donald Sutherland and Charles Durning, prominently featured the church and the neighborhood.</p><br>
<p>Assembly Hall, also known as Serio House, de France House, and Fletcher&#39;s Tavern was a small tavern built in 1808 in Washington, Mississippi. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978 and designated a Mississippi Landmark on March 21, 1995.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In 1802 a political rivalry between the Democratic-Republican Party and the Federalist Party led to the relocation of Mississippis then territorial capital. The Democrat-Republican government elected to move the capital from the Federalist-leaning Natchez, Mississippi to the more rural Washington, Mississippi; however, no capitol building was ever built. Meetings of the states general assembly were held in the tavern, then owned by Charles de France. Upon admission of the state in 1817, the first state convention was held in the tavern, while all subsequent conventions before 1820 were held in Natchez.</p><br>
