<p>The Iglesia San Blas de Illescas  is a Catholic parish church located on the center plaza of Coamo, Puerto Rico. Construction on the church began in 1661; it has since been judged "one of the most important works of religious architecture in Puerto Rico".</p><br>
<p>The church is separated from the open plaza below by a series of ceremonial steps and a delicate cast iron balustrade. The delicately curved Baroque facade reflects a major reconstruction completed in 1784. A two-level bell-gable with open arches and bells is prominently featured in the facade. The parish of San Blas of Coamo is one of the oldest on the island.</p><br>
<p>Bobcat Trail Habitation Cave is a historic site of Ancient Hawaiian living quarters in a remote interior area of the island of Hawaii.</p><br>
<h2>Location</h2><br>
<p>Coordinates are approximate; The site is within the Puuanahulu ahupuaa (region) of the North Kona District on the island of Hawaii. The exact location is kept restricted to avoid damage to the site.</p><br>
<p>It is on USA Federal land which is part of the Pohakuloa Training Area.</p><br>
<p>At an elevation of 5,100 -, the arid area receives only 20 in of rainfall per year. The vegetation is a mix of subalpine and montane dry shrublands.</p><br>
<p>It is named for the nearby Bobcat Trail, which has been proposed to be restored into part of a Mauna Loa trail system. by Thomas S. Dye,</p><br>
<p>March 25, 2005, on Nature Conservancy web site</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The trail was part of a system used before the time of King Umi, who moved the royal residence to a site nearby on the same high plateau in the 16th century, now called Ahu A Umi Heiau.</p><br>
<p>Original studies were focused on the coastal areas that remain inhabited today, but</p><br>
<p>even this more marginal area has evidence of human activity from A.D. 700 until the 18th century. Ancient Hawaiians hunted birds and gathered wood extensively on the plateau.</p><br>
<p>They valued both seabirds that nested here for food, and forest birds for colorful feathers used in ceremonial garments.</p><br>
<p>While hunting, they camped in the caves formed by Lava tubes, placing gourds on the floor to collect water that dripped from the ceiling. The forests provided sandalwood and medicinal plants. Bundles of sandalwood were found where they were left for later transport to the larger communities on the coast.</p><br>
<h2>Protection</h2><br>
<p>The site is state archaeological site number 10-30-5004 (this number, plus "50-" to indicate the state of Hawaii, was appended to its name on the National registry).</p><br>
<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on May 15, 1986 as site number 86001086.</p><br>
<p>In 1995 a comprehensive survey of the area was funded by the USA Army to produce an environmental management plan.Cleghorn and Clark, "Initial Implementation</p><br>
<p>of the Historic Preservation Plan for Bobcat Trail</p><br>
<p>Habitation Cave (Site 50-10- 30-5004)" submitted to the USA Army Engineer District, Honolulu, Fort Shafter, Hawaii, 1996</p><br>
<p>In 2004, another study was done for some proposed improvements to the training area.</p><br>
<p>Although this cave is the only one listed on the register, there are several others in the area.</p><br>
<p>The National Harbor of Refuge and Delaware Breakwater Historic District encompasses a series of seacoast breakwaters behind Cape Henlopen, Delaware, built between 1828 and 1898 to establish a shipping haven on a coastline that lacked safe harbors. The Harbor of Refuge is at the mouth of the Delaware Bay estuary where it opens into the Atlantic Ocean, at Lewes.</p><br>
<p>The district is almost entirely offshore, touching land only at the former United States Coast Guard station. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.</p><br>
<h2>Delaware Breakwater</h2><br>
<p>An 1822 study authorized by the United States Congress investigated the possibility of a haven at Cape Henlopen. Led by General Simon Bernard, Major Joseph Gilbert Totten and Commodore William Bainbridge, the committee recommended that a permanent harbor be created.</p><br>
<p>In 1826, William Strickland began to design the breakwater, which would be the first of its kind in the Western hemisphere and the third in the world, after one in Cherbourg, France, and the Plymouth Breakwater at Plymouth, England. Work began in 1828 on what is now the inner breakwater, listed in its own right on the National Register as the Delaware Breakwater. These works consisted of a 2,100 ft main breakwater and a 1,700 ft icebreaker pier. Both were built of granite rubble from New Castle County, Delaware, with earlier portions using smaller stones from the Hudson Palisades. The breakwaters are 160 ft wide at the base and 20 ft at the top. The project used 835,000 tons of stone. Strickland also designed a lighthouse for the harbor, which was completed the next year.</p><br>
<p>The harbor was a success, but it soon became apparent that it was too small. During storms as many as 200 ships would seek refuge. Shoaling was also a problem. In 1877, a hurricane destroyed several ships in the harbor, and others that could not get into the harbor. To improve things, work began in 1883 to close the opening between the icebreaker and main breakwater, The breakwater closure was finally completed in 1898.</p><br>
<p>An iron pier was built beginning in 1871 by the USA Army Corps of Engineers and completed in 1882. The 1,700 ft pier was designed to carry rail traffic directly out to ships in the harbor. The structure used iron screw piles with wood decking. The pier was later adapted for use by the USA Lifesaving Station and the quarantine station. The iron pier shafts remain visible in the harbor, a hazard to navigation.</p><br>
<h2>National Harbor of Refuge</h2><br>
<p>In 1896 Congress authorized a new, larger program of breakwaters, the National Harbor of Refuge. Located 6,500 ft to the north of the original breakwater on a shoal known as The Shears, the new breakwater used much larger stone. The dressed and fitted masonry used individual pieces of up to 13 tons. The new breakwater was 8,040 ft long at low water and 40 ft wide. Ten icebreaker piers were built 1,250 ft to the north of dressed stone in a 1,300 ft line. Compared with the earlier effort, steam-powered equipment allowed the use of larger stones and sped construction. The project cost $2,090,765.82 and was completed in 1901.</p><br>
<p>The first Harbor of Refuge Light was built on this breakwater and began operation in 1908. Damaged in 1920 by storms, it was replaced by the current structure in 1926. This light effectively replaced the 1767 Cape Henlopen Light, which was abandoned in 1924 and fell into the sea in 1926.</p><br>
<p>At certain places around the breakwater, the waters can be up to 70 feet deep to accommodate large ships that would anchor in the harbor.</p><br>
<h2>Coast Guard Station</h2><br>
<p>The Lewes Coast Guard Station now functions as the Delaware River pilot&#39;s station. The station is a 2.5-story balloon-framed building, built in 1938 in Colonial Revival style. The principal facade faces the harbor with an enclosed porch supported by paired Tuscan columns. Shingle siding covers the station. An enclosed observation platform on the roof has a Chinese Chippendale railing, with adapted Palladian windows on all sides.</p><br>
<h2>Current Uses</h2><br>
<p>The Deepwaters in between the two breakwaters provide great fishing for local mariners. Both lighthouses are open for tours, and the Harbor of Refuge Lighthouse is still active serving as an aid to navigation.</p><br>
<p>The building at 73 Mansion Street in Poughkeepsie, New York, United States, was first built around 1890 as a single-family residence. It is next to the city&#39;s post office and across from the offices of the Poughkeepsie Journal, at the corner with Balding Avenue.</p><br>
<p>It was built around 1890 by a local real estate attorney and has had many owners, and some other uses, since then. A prominent example of the Queen Anne architectural style in the city, it was left out of the neighboring historic district because the house was inconsistent with the Balding homes. Fifteen years later, in 1997, it was finally listed on the National Register of Historic Places in its own right, the only property in all of Dutchess County listed on the Register by its street address.</p><br>
<h2>Building</h2><br>
<p>73 Mansion is a two-and-a-half-story frame house on a painted brick foundation sided in clapboard with decorative shingles and painted trim. It is topped by a hipped roof with the original slate, lower cross-gables and a pyramidal tower with weathervane, pierced by gabled dormer windows and a paneled and corbelled brick chimney.</p><br>
<p>Its facades are characterized by overlapping planes and textures, consistent with Queen Anne Style houses. Bays project, one of which has a cutaway bay window, asymmetrically placed on the south (front) facade and both sides. The east gable end has an arched vergeboard. Yankee gutters run along the roofline.</p><br>
<p>There are three entrances on the first floor, all with their own gable-roofed porch and patterned pediment. Two have curved, routed brackets as supports. The building&#39;s fenestration is similarly eclectic, including round and polygonal windows and colored-glass inserts next to angled muntins.</p><br>
<p>Inside, the floor plan follows the asymmetry of the exterior trim. It has much of its original finish as well: herringbone-patterned oak panels below the front bay windows, plaster ceiling medallions and crown moldings in each room, light fixtures, staircase railing and narrow-strip oak flooring.</p><br>
<p>Behind the house, on the property, is a modern garage added in the 1950s. It is not considered a contributing property to the listing.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Charles Cossum, a local real estate attorney, built the house sometime around 1890. His office was three blocks away on Market Street. He had been very successful, and the location of his home on the northern end of downtown Poughkeepsie, within walking distance of his work, is characteristic of the pre-automobile era, when houses close to a city center were the most desirable.</p><br>
<p>His family owned the house until 1917, whereupon it went through a succession of many other owners until 1933, when a local pediatrician moved in and turned it into his home office. His family owned it for many years. In 1982, when the houses around the corner on Balding Avenue were designated as a historic district and added to the National Register, 73 Mansion Street was excluded because it was larger and more lavishly decorated than the more modest homes on Balding.</p><br>
<p>In 1995 it was sold to its present owner, who renovated and restored it with the help of federal tax credits. Two years later, in 1997, it was added to the National Register in its own right.</p><br>
<p>The Stroud House is a historic house at SE F Street and East Central Avenue in Bentonville, Arkansas. It is a -story wood-frame structure, with asymmetrical massing and decorative shinglework typical of the Queen Anne style, and a shed-roof front porch supported by Colonial Revival columns. It is a high-quality local example of this transitional style of architecture, built in 1903 by Daniel Boone Laine and Delila Laine. The property also includes remnants of a 1925 gas station.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.</p><br>
<p>The Balding Avenue Historic District is located along the street of the same name, between Mansion and Marshall streets, in Poughkeepsie, New York, United States. These four acres  include 27 houses mostly built in the late 19th century.</p><br>
<p>Unlike some of the city&#39;s other residential historic districts, Balding Avenue was a middle class neighborhood, and its houses still reflect that. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>The district consists of Balding Avenue between its southern end at Mansion Street and the next intersection to the north at Marshall Street, and the lots of every house with a Balding address in that corridor. The southern end is just at the northern boundary of downtown Poughkeepsie, with several other historic buildings. The Queen Anne Style house at 73 Mansion is right on the corner (it was excluded from the district because it was a different size and shape from the Balding houses), and next to it is the Poughkeepsie post office. Across Mansion are the offices of the Poughkeepsie Journal. This block of Balding is shaded with large trees along the side of the street.</p><br>
<p>Within the district, the houses are of similar designs, ranging from two-and-a-half to three-and-a-half stories in height. All have clapboard siding. Various Victorian-era architectural styles are in evidence, from Second Empire to Queen Anne. Four houses in the Hudson River bracketed style are arranged in a row from 6-12 Balding.</p><br>
<p>All these houses exhibit a modest amount of ornament. Poughkeepsie&#39;s other historic districts recognize the homes of the wealthy (Academy Street, Garfield Place) or the working class (Union Street, Mill Street-North Clover Street). This is the only one in a middle-class neighborhood, as suggested by the minimal use of decorative detailing on the houses.</p><br>
<p>Only one home, at 1 Balding, is not considered a contributing property to the district. It was built in 1924, after the district&#39;s period of significance, two decades after all of the other houses had been completed.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>An 1867 map of the city lists Balding Avenue as a proposed street. It must have been built shortly thereafter, as the first houses on it, 14 and 27 Balding, both in the Second Empire style, were built in 1872. Six more followed, mainly in the middle of the block, during the rest of the 1870s. Most of the district was built out over the 1880s and &#39;90s. Local architect Percival M. Lloyd, designed the classically detailed 32 Balding, the only house on the street for whom the architect is known, in 1896.</p><br>
<p>In the 1900s, 4 and 11 Balding closed out this building boom. The other corner lot at Mansion Street, 1 Balding, was finally built on in 1924. There has been no significant construction or modification since.</p><br>
<p>Neutra VDL Studio and Residences, the home of architect Richard Neutra, is located in Los Angeles, California. It is also known as the Neutra Research House, the Van der Leeuw House, the Richard and Dion Neutra VDL Research House II, or the Richard and Dion Neutra VDL Research Houses and Studio. It was designed by Richard Neutra and his son Dion Neutra. The house is currently owned by California State Polytechnic University, Pomona, and is maintained by its College of Environmental Design. The property was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2009, and was designated as a National Historic Landmark in 2016.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Originally built in 1932, the 2,000 ft&sup2; house was built for Neutra and his family and called the VDL Research House because it was built with a loan from Neutra&#39;s early patron, Cees H. Van der Leeuw, a wealthy Dutch industrialist and architecture aficionado. Neutra and his wife, Dione, raised their three sons at the house. He also ran his architecture practice out of a studio in the house until he later opened his design studio at the Neutra Office Building on Glendale Boulevard (a property that is also listed on the National Register of Historic Places).</p><br>
<p>The original house was destroyed by fire in March 1963. Along with the house, the fire destroyed Neutra&#39;s collection of sketches, writings and architecture library.</p><br>
<p>In 1980, Neutras widow donated the house, then valued at $207,500, to Cal Poly Pomona to be used by the universitys College of Environmental Design faculty and students. The building was in some disrepair and in danger of deteriorating further, in 2008, when a fund-raising campaign to preserve it was launched. Architecture firm Marmol Radziner volunteered pro-bono services that include repairs to the roof, the reflecting pool, and the building&#39;s water intrusion and waterproofing issues. Improvements were completed during Phase I and II of the restoration project.</p><br>
<h2>Design</h2><br>
<p>In his design of the VDL Research House, Neutra sought to show that the innovations of his Lovell Health House could be incorporated into designs for less affluent clients. Through use of natural lighting, glass walls opening onto patio gardens and mirrors, Neutra designed a space that was not confining and which reflected the nearby lake. Neutra later wrote the following about the VDL Research House:</p><br>
<p>I was convinced that high-density design could succeed in a fully human way, and I saw my new house as a concrete pilot project. I wanted to demonstrate that human beings, brought together in close proximity, can be accommodated in very satisfying circumstances, taking in that precious amenity called privacy. So armed with my memories and convictions, and in direct contrast to the sense-inimical mien of my boyhood surroundings, I planted three families on my ordinary 60-by-70-foot lot, next to Silver Lake. And I was able to arrange things in such a way as to embellish our lives with abundant plantings and bracing vistas. One felt a great sense of freedom in the VDL, as everything was carefully planned to avoid interference between the various zones of the house, and there were many options for getting off by oneself.</p><br>
<p>Neutra later took pride in the fact "hundreds of perfect strangers have been coming by the house every year," many coming to a halt, "somehow mesmerized, and perhaps wistfully wondering why this constructive figment of clarity and composure hadn&#39;t grown on Los Angeles generally." It was not only strangers that admired the Neutra VDL compound. Over a forty-year period stars of the second generation of California modernism like Gregory Ain, Harwell Harris and Raphael Soriano started their careers here. Famous clients like the director Josef von Sternberg and Edgar Kaufmann spelled out their needs to Neutra here. A cultural salon for Los Angeles hosted visitors such as Frank Lloyd Wright, Alvaar Alto, Charles and Ray Eames and many others. The social history of this place has been documented at neutrahistory.org</p><br>
<p>One critic later said of the house:</p><br>
<p>Even a down-on-his-luck architect deserves humane housing. When the budding Modernist hero Richard Neutra built a home along Silver Lake Reservoir in 1932, he had a budget of $10,000 and a tiny sliver of land. What he built became a nimble experiment in urban living.</p><br>
<p>The small rooms in the house are arranged around an open staircase and have "austere, built-in furniture, all in neutral tones." It has been said that the "houses strength came from its temporal quality: Light, water and air were meant to induce a wholesome life." The house was Neutras third commission in the United States and was built four years after the Lovell Health House in Los Feliz. The Research House later became the focus of a cluster of ten Neutra-designed houses on Argent Place overlooking Silver Lake.</p><br>
<p>The house is located just a few hundred yards from the Neutra Office Building, Neutra&#39;s offices from 1950 to 1970, which is also NRHP-listed. The house is open for tours led by Cal Poly Pomona architecture students on Saturdays. It is the only Neutra-designed house that is regularly open to the public.</p><br>
<p>Pua&#39;a-2 Agricultural Fields Archeological District is a historic site of Ancient Hawaii agriculture on the Big Island of Hawaii.</p><br>
<h2>The site</h2><br>
<p>Coordinates are approximate; it is within the Ahupuaa of Puaa 2, on a 35 acre Kona coffee farm known as Ariana Farms Ono Coffee.</p><br>
<p>A 1985 survey found several stone platforms, several agricultural terraces, and a 50 by 100 ft feature thought to be an agricultural heiau.</p><br>
<p>The site is state archaeological site number 10-28-10,229 (the last part of this site designation, plus "50HA" to indicate the state of Hawaii, was appended to its name on the National registry). It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on October 14, 1986, as site number 86002804.</p><br>
<h2>Severe damage in 2000</h2><br>
<p>The site was damaged and possibly destroyed in 2000 when a permit was mistakenly given to clear the area for planting coffee. The State Historic Preservation District officials approve each grading permit, but with several vacancies for archaeologists in the district, the property owners were not aware of any site on their property.</p><br>
<p>The Niagara Engine House is located on North Hamilton Street in downtown Poughkeepsie, New York, United States. It is a brick building constructed in the early 20th century, the only extant fire house of the six engine companies that once protected the city.</p><br>
<p>It was designed by local architect Percival M. Lloyd in a late application of the Gothic Revival architectural style. In 1982 it, along with two other old Poughkeepsie firehouses, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>Building</h2><br>
<p>The firehouse is a brick building three stories high with three to five bays in each story. The front facade faces east. Beneath the flat roof is a projecting cornice and brick frieze with blue squares on which "Niagara" is spelled out. It is supported by large brackets alternating with smaller ones.</p><br>
<p>Fenestration is varied. The third-story windows have pointed arches. The central window on the story below is a projecting bay window with a castellated top and diamond-shaped lights. Above the first story is a molded stone cornice with letters spelling out "1810 NIAGARA 1909".</p><br>
<p>A stone course separates the first and second stories. Brick pilasters frame the main garage door. The interior retains its tiled floor, brass pole and flooring.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The engine company that became Niagara was organized in 1810, as the building facade suggests, but did not start going by that name until 1847. Six engine companies are known to have been in service during the city&#39;s history. This is the only one whose building is extant.</p><br>
<p>In 1909 local architect Percival M. Lloyd, who had earlier designed the eclectic Lady Washington Hose Company building a few blocks to the south on Academy Street, was hired to build the new one. His building includes many features of the Gothic Revival II style, which was used for many public buildings in the early 20th century... the projecting central bay, roof castellation, stone lintels with drip molding and arches, the stone course between the two lower floors and a mock stone basement at ground level.</p><br>
<p>A private ambulance company moved into the lower floor after the fire department left the building. They left its features intact.</p><br>
<p>The City of St. Jude is a 36 acre campus in Montgomery, Alabama, hosting a high school, hospital, and Catholic church. It was founded in 1934 by Fr Harold Purcell with the aim of bringing "light, hope and dignity to the poor," regardless of race.</p><br>
<p>The campus hosted the Stars for Freedom rally on the night of March 24, 1965, where celebrities volunteered to entertain weary marchers on the final night of the Selma to Montgomery marches.</p><br>
<p>The campus was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990, and is part of the Selma to Montgomery National Historic Trail, created in 1996.</p><br>
<h2>Campus</h2><br>
<p>Father Purcell started the first Catholic ministry for African Americans in Alabama, opening a dispensary in a rented house on Holt Street in Montgomery starting on June 2, 1934. Purcell received funds from Bishop Thomas Joseph Toolen, head of the Diocese of Mobile in 1936 and purchased 56 acre between Hill and Oak Streets, soon afterwards building and dedicating a church at the site to Saint Jude the Apostle in 1938. By 1938, the City of St. Jude had already treated 8,000 unique patients.</p><br>
<h3>Church (1938–)</h3><br>
<h3>Social center (1939–)</h3><br>
<p>The social center was built soon after the church, in 1939. The City of St. Jude proposed that a "Campsite 4 Experience" Museum would be housed at the social center while raising funds to build an interpretive center.</p><br>
<h3>School (1947–2014)</h3><br>
<p>The first classes at the City of St. Jude were held in the basement of the 1938 church. St. Jude Educational Institute was not explicitly segregated, even though Bishop Toolen did not support integration, and early classes featured predominantly African American classes with some white students.</p><br>
<p>During the 25th anniversary of the Selma to Montgomery marches, former Alabama Governor George Wallace stood in the doorway of the St. Jude Educational Institute to welcome civil rights activists.</p><br>
<h3>Hospital (1951–1985)</h3><br>
<p>The St. Jude Catholic Hospital, which opened in 1951, was the first integrated hospital in the southeastern United States, and the first hospital in the region to admit all patients regardless of color or creed. It is also the birthplace of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Coretta Scott King&#39;s two eldest children, Yolanda and Martin Luther III.</p><br>
<p>After being shot following the Selma to Montgomery march, activist Viola Liuzzo was taken to the hospital at St. Jude, where doctors unsuccessfully tried to save her life. Although the hospital closed in 1985, the building was converted to low-cost apartments in 1992.</p><br>
<h2>Stars for Freedom</h2><br>
<p>During the final night of the Selma to Montgomery marches on March 24, 1965, an estimated 10,000 marchers camped on an athletic field in the St. Jude campus and watched the Stars for Freedom rally, featuring many celebrities. Performances were held on a makeshift stage consisting of empty coffin shipping crates topped by plywood sheets. The next morning, the crowd that marched from the City of St. Jude was estimated at 25,000, and the tail of the procession did not reach the Alabama State Capitol building until nearly ninety minutes after the leaders of the march.</p><br>
<p>The pastor of St. Jude asked Bishop Toolen for permission to allow the marchers to camp overnight, which was granted, but Toolen warned the pastor "there would be consequences." Some of the hospital employees also resigned in the wake of the march, and white students left the school.</p><br>
<p>In 2008, the National Park Service recommended taking an offer from Alabama State University over the City of St. Jude for the third Selma to Montgomery National Historic Trail interpretive center. After a fundraising effort, the City of St. Jude opened its own interpretive center in 2015.</p><br>
<p>The following celebrities were present at Stars for Freedom:</p><br>

<p>The Nashville Historic District in Nashua, New Hampshire is a historic district that was listed on the National Register of Historic Places  in 1984. It encompasses an area just north of downtown Nashua, roughly centered on the junction of Concord, Amherst, and Main streets. Its southern bound is the Nashua River and Railroad Square, its eastern bounds are Railroad Square, Clinton, Lock, Orange, and Concord streets, its northern bound is Mount Pleasant Street, and its western boundary is Abbott, Amherst, Concord, and Main streets between the northern and southern bounds.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Today this area is known as French Hill, but the NRHP district takes its name from a time in the 19th century when the area was briefly separated from Nashua as the town of "Nashville". This was due to the placement of a new Town Hall in the southern half of the city (which was more populated at the time). The northern contingent split themselves off, calling themselves "Nashville". The split came only six years after the town had renamed itself "Nashua", in 1836. The creation of a new railroad line from Lowell, Massachusetts, that ran along the northern length of the Nashua River had resulted in Union Square being renamed "Railroad Square" in 1838.</p><br>
<p>However, the railroad brought new economic prosperity and increased communication with Boston, and in 1853 the two town committees resolved their differences and a new town charter for the "City of Nashua" was enacted.</p><br>

<p>Unity Bridge  is an historic 90 ft long covered bridge over Fall Creek at Unity near Lowell in Lane County, Oregon, United States. Also known as Unity Covered Bridge and Unity Creek Bridge, it was built in 1936 at a cost $4,400 by Lane County using the Howe truss system. Its east side features a full-length window with its own roof so that drivers can see oncoming cars.</p><br>
<p>The Unity Bridge was preceded by a covered bridge built in 1890. Limited to foot-traffic only after 1936, it was removed in 1953. The Unity Bridge, which replaced the original bridge, is 0.75 mi further upstream.</p><br>
<p>County officials temporarily closed the bridge for repairs in 1986. Work included a new floor, exterior painting, repair of piers and guardrails, and vandalism cleanup.</p><br>
<p>The bridge carries Lowell–Unity Road over the creek.</p><br>
<p>The Wedge Plantation, which is also known as The Wedge or the William Lucas House, is a plantation about 5 mi east of McClellanville in Charleston County, South Carolina. The plantation is a wedge-shaped property between the Harrietta Plantation and the Fairfield Plantation. The plantation house was built around 1830. It is located off US Highway 17 near the Santee River. It was named to the National Register of Historic Places on September 18, 1975.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The house was built by a rice planter William Lucas around 1826. Lucas was a son of Jonathan Lucas, who invented a rice-pounding mill. It remained in the Lucas family for the next hundred years. It was a working rice plantation up to about 1914.</p><br>
<p>In 1929, Mr. and Mrs. Elbridge Chadwick acquired the plantation and restored the house with the assistance of architect Albert Simons. In 1948, Mr. and Mrs. Charles H. Woodward purchased it for a winter home.</p><br>
<p>Dr. and Mrs. Richard B. Dominick owned the Wedge Plantation from 1966 to 1976. During the ten-years of his life there, Dominick collected over 25,000 moths and 1,000 butterflies on the plantation. The Richard B. Dominick Moth and Butterfly Collection resides at the University of South Carolina&#39;s McKissick Museum in Columbia, South Carolina. Richard Dominick established the Wedge Entomological Research Foundation for the publication of the Moths of North America North of Mexico. Richard Dominick died at The Wedge in May, 1976. His estate owned the property for another six years.</p><br>
<p>In the 1970s, The Wedge was purchased by the State of South Carolina for "about $1 million." This program was closed in 1995 when funding for it expired and was not renewed. The University then leased The Wedge until 2014 for hunting and other uses, including the 2009 Kevin Costner film The New Daughter.</p><br>
<p>Attempts to sell the plantation have failed. The universitys board of trustees determined that the annual cost of maintaining the plantation at $385,000 in 2013, but the university allots only $100,000 yearly as of 2020. In 2014, the plantation was put up for sale at $4 million (~$ in ), but no offers were made. A subsequent attempt to find a buyer using a real estate agent also failed. An appraisal of the plantations value included $500,000 in needed repairs. On July 3, 2020, the university opened the bidding process again with the minimum bid pegged at $3.2 million, with bids due by August 20, 2020.</p><br>

<p>The Doris Foley Library for Historical Research  is a reference and research library in Nevada City, in Nevada County, California. Built in 1907, the Romanesque Revival style building is currently a branch of the.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>With beginnings as an 1849 mining town, Nevada City had a reading room as early as 1850. Becoming a settlement, it boasted a library association in less than a decade, followed by a YMCA reading room and library in 1869. Ownership of an Odd Fellows Library that was established 1874, was transferred to the city in 1902, and the library was moved to the Corcoran Building next to the historic Nevada Theatre.</p><br>
<p>The women of Nevada City urged the library trustees to seek Carnegie funds, and, in 1904, the trustees received a grant for $10,000. Bids were opened the following year, and the estimated completion date of a new library was 1906. As the library committee believed it might receive an additional $5,000 from Carnegie, plans were made for a more elaborate building, but on October 13, 1905, the trustees were notified there would be no additional funding, necessitating changes to the plans. William H. Weeks was the architect, while Watsonvilles W.J. Wilkerson of Graniterock was the builder. Organized as the Civic Improvement Club, the citys women were the landscape planners. Furnishings cost $1,000. The library was dedicated on October 4, 1907.</p><br>
<p>Miss Annie James was the librarian in 1919. By 1923, the Nevada City Free Library had 1,782 volumes, increasing to 7,555 volumes by 1927, when Iva Williamson was the librarian.</p><br>
<h3>Landmark</h3><br>
<p>Situated in a historic Carnegie library building, it was placed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) in 1990.</p><br>
<p>Another Carnegie library and NRHP, Grass Valley&#39;s Royce Library, is in the neighboring town. The Foley is located at 211 North Pine Street, on the southwest corner of Pine and York streets, across from the Nevada County Court House. It is situated on a steeply sloping lot, 150 ft by 50 ft, purchased by the city from the county at a cost of $700.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The building was designed in a Romanesque Revival architectural style by Weeks, the architect of several other Northern California Carnegie libraries. The seven room, single story plus basement building was constructed by Wilkerson using dark gray man-made stone, plus both rough and smooth concrete blocks, fabricated on location. It features a dark brick facade, now painted white, and a partially exposed cement foundation. A cement stairway leads from the road to the arched doorways.</p><br>
<p>Two arched windows are situated in the foyer, the side one being smaller, and the larger front one being of stained glass depicting the lamp of knowledge. There are numerous other windows, rectangular in shape.</p><br>
<p>The interior has not changed much in layout. It includes a black and white checkered floor.</p><br>

<h3>Gold Rush reference library</h3><br>
<p>After the Madelyn Helling Library was built in the Nevada County&#39;s Rood Administrative Center in the late 1990s, the Carnegie library became a research and reference library for local history and the California Gold Rush. On May 17, 1997, it was renamed the in honor of local teacher, historian and writer, Doris Foley, the wife of a gold-mining engineer.</p><br>

<p>Harrieta Plantation is a plantation about 5 mi east of McClellanville in Charleston County, South Carolina. It is located off US Highway 17 near the Santee River, adjacent to the Wedge Plantation and just south of Fairfield Plantation. The plantation house was built around 1807 and was named to the National Register of Historic Places on September 18, 1975.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The house at Harrietta Plantation was built by Mrs. Harriot Horry of the Hampton Plantation for her daughter, Harriott and her husband Frederick Rutledge. Mrs. Horry&#39;s son, Charles Lucas Pinckney Horry, married Elenore Marie Florimonde de Fay la Tour Maubourg. When Charles and Elemore decided to live elsewhere, Frederick and Harriot Rutledge lived at Hampton Plantation, and work on the Harrietta Plantation House stopped.</p><br>
<p>In 1858, the house was purchased by Stephen D. Doar. He finished the upper floors and was the first resident in the house. The Doar family owned the house until 1929. Rice was cultivated until 1903. When the house was sold in 1929, there were rooms in the house that had yet to be plastered.</p><br>
<p>In 1929, Mr. Doar sold the plantation to Mr. Horatio Shonnard of New York, who undertook a restoration of the house and its gardens. In March 1947, the 17-room plantation and its 1500 acres were sold by Mrs. Horatio Shonnard to Mrs. John P. Abney, the widow of the founder of an eponymous chain of cotton mills in the Piedmont section of South Carolina. The plantation had been listed for sale for $115,000 at that time.</p><br>
<p>The house is currently owned by the Harrietta Holdings, LLC, a New Jersey limited liability company.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The original house was constructed around 1807. This is a Georgian style, clapboard house on a raised basement. The first floor had two rooms with a rear hallway. Each of the rooms had a separate entrance door to the front porch. Because these doors were very close to each other, a false door was built between them. They were framed together to result in an architecturally pleasing facade. Both of these rooms have fireplaces with carved Federal mantels. The door frames and moldings are also in Federal style.</p><br>
<p>The south facade has a portico supported by four Doric columns. The pediment has a semi-elliptical window. It is decorated with dentate molding.</p><br>
<p>The south facade has single nine over nine lights on either side of the doors. Each wing has four nine over nine lights evenly spaced. In the second story, there are pairs of six over six lights to the left and right of the porch gable.</p><br>
<p>The single-story wings were built in the 1930s. The east wing has two rooms with a fireplace. The west wing has three rooms. Two of these have fireplaces. The wings use a Greek Revival style for the mantels and woodwork. The rear hallway extends along the north side of each wing.</p><br>
<p>A floor plan of the first floor with the wings has been published.</p><br>
<h2>Gardens</h2><br>
<p>There is a formal garden on the south side that extends to Collins Creek. To the east, there are old rice fields. To the north is a lake with cypress trees that is an old rice field. To the west is the entrance to the plantation, which was the old slave avenue. There is also the remains of a rice threshing mill and one slave cabin.</p><br>
<p>The Tonopah Public Library in Tonopah, Nevada was the third public library in Nevada.The one story stone building was designed by John J. Hill and was completed in 1906. The library was established by local residents Grace R. Moore and Marjorie Moore Brown to house a gift of 200 books from George F. Weeks.</p><br>
<p>The library is built of dressed ashlar masonry and measures 38 ft long by 28 ft wide. Cornerstones to either side of the main facade read "Erected, 1906" and "John J. Hill, Builder", while the word "Library" is centered over the lintel of the front door. The librarys collection was donated in memory of George Weeks brother J.R., whose funeral was reputedly the first in Tonopah.</p><br>
<p>The library was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
<p>The Brokers Exchange in Tonopah, Nevada, also known as the Tonopah Divide Mining Company was built in 1905 during Tonopah&#39;s mining boom. Originally a two-story building, it housed a brokerage, real estate office, and the offices of Tonopah lawyer  Patrick McCarran. A fire destroyed the upper floor in 1912. The Tonopah Divide Mining Company, controlled by George Wingfield and Cal Brougher, purchased the property for use as an office in 1919. The ruined top story was removed and the first floor was re-roofed and capped with a decorate plaster frieze.</p><br>
<p>The building occupies a corner lot, with four storefront bays facing Brougher Avenue and a diagonal entrance at the corner of St. Patrick Street.</p><br>
<p>The Italian Center is the name commonly used for a mid-19th-century house that is home to the organization of the same name on Mill Street in Poughkeepsie, New York, United States. It is a contributing property to the Mill Street-North Clover Street Historic District.</p><br>
<p>It was first built as a simple building by 1857 and gradually expanded and renovated into its current form over the next 30 years. The Italian Center was formed in 1928 and bought the house the same year, expanding it in the 1960s with a discreet rear wing. On April 19, 1972, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>Building</h2><br>
<p>The two-story building is near the eastern boundary of the historic district, a half-block west of the intersection of Mill and Columbus Drive, at the western fringe of downtown Poughkeepsie where the ground begins a gradual slope down to the Hudson River. It is faced in brick in running bond with stone rustication at the corners and windows. Projecting gable and a tower in front reach a third storey.</p><br>
<p>The roof is slate, with sharp finials atop the gables and tower; the gables have been further decorated with bargeboards. A chimney and dormer pierce both slopes of the roof. There is no real cornice, just a row of wooden brackets under the eaves. A row of bricks on the third storey at the south (front) facade has been arranged in a corrugated pattern.</p><br>
<p>Fenestration includes a first-floor triple window with curved transom top in stained glass. It is echoed by a double window with curved top on the second storey.</p><br>
<p>A veranda wraps around the south gable to the double-doored main entrance on the east. It is supported by seven turned columns with a spindle decoration at the roofline. The railing is in a grid pattern with a large square newel and acorn-shaped top where it reaches the front steps.</p><br>
<p>A large, modern rear wing extends from the north. It was completed after the house was listed on the Register and is meant not to intrude, as it cannot be seen from the front.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The house is first shown on an 1857 map of the city as an L-shaped building, at a time when that neighborhood was the city&#39;s most desirable residential area. Thirty years later, another map shows an east wing, and by 1891 the porch and tower are shown.</p><br>
<p>In 1928, five local organizations that served the city&#39;s Italian American community merged to become the Italian Center and moved into the house. In the 1960s they built a rear wing on the house to accommodate larger events. There have been no other significant alterations to the house since.</p><br>
<p>The Berlin Historic District encompasses the ghost town of Berlin in Nye County, Nevada. The town was established in 1897 as part of the Union Mining District after the opening of the Berlin Mine the previous year. The name is a transfer from Berlin, in Germany, the native land of a share of the local prospectors. The town never prospered to the same extent as other boom towns like Tonopah and Goldfield, and declined following the Panic of 1907. The town was largely abandoned by 1911. The site was acquired by the state of Nevada as part of Berlin–Ichthyosaur State Park in 1970.</p><br>
<p>The town is on the western side of the Shoshone Range on the edge of Toiyabe National Forest at an elevation of about 6,676 ft above sea level. At elevations above the townsite, the forest becomes more dense and provided a source of building materials for the town. The town is arranged in a U shape, opening to the east. At its peak, the town had about 75 buildings and 300 residents. Berlin was a company town, operated by the Nevada Company and was maintained until its acquisition by the state in 1970. This accounts for the town&#39;s excellent state of preservation.</p><br>
<p>The town of Union, 1 mi to the east, functioned as a suburb to Berlin. The Berlin Mine had 3 mi of tunnels, but produced less than $1 million worth of gold and silver during its lifetime. The Diana mine connects to the Berlin Mine at the fourth level and is preserved as a mining museum. Tours of the Diana Mine were halted in 2007 until a safety review could be completed.</p><br>
<p>The preserved buildings in Berlin include the mine supervisor&#39;s house, now the park office, the assay office and a machine shop. The 30-stamp mill, one of the best of its type in the state, has been stabilized.</p><br>
<p>The town was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1971.</p><br>
<p>Fairfield Plantation, also known as the Lynch House is a plantation about 5 mi east of McClellanville in Charleston County, South Carolina. It is adjacent to the Wedge Plantation and just north of Harrietta Plantation. The plantation house was built around 1730. It is located just off US Highway 17 near the Santee River. It was named to the National Register of Historic Places on September 18, 1975.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The house at Fairfield Plantation is believed to have been built by the Lynch family around 1730. The plantation has remained in the Pinckney family for over 200 years.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>This is a Georgian style, clapboard house on a raised basement. It has central porches on the south and north elevations. Each is pedimented and supported by six Doric columns. Two columns are engaged. The south porch on the landside is supported by brick columns. The riverside north porch has brick arch supports. The porches were probably in the late 18th century. The house has a hip roof and two cross-shaped interior chimneys.</p><br>
<p>The house originally had four rooms on the main floor and two rooms on the second floor. The latter rooms were facing the river. After Jacob Motte acquired the house, the second floor was squared out by adding two additional rooms. The main floor is taller than the second floor. There is a horizontal band on the exterior that separates the top floor from the main floor.</p><br>
<p>The south facade has a pair of nine over nine lights on each side of the door. The second floor has six over six lights above each of the first floor windows. In the second story, there are pairs of six over six lights to the left and right of the porch gable.</p><br>
<p>The east and west elevations each have three four over four lights on the first floor with shorter six over six lights above on the second floor. In the late 19th century bay windows were added, though they were subsequently removed toward the end of the 20th century. The second floor has a six over six light on each side of the porch roof just inside of the bay windows. There is small nine light window over the north door.</p><br>
<p>The first floor has four rooms. The larger of the front rooms has the central front entrance. The smaller room on the left is connected to the large room by a single door. The two rear rooms are the same size. They are divided by the central hall with staircase. The front rooms have barrel-vaulted fireplaces with high mantels on their back walls. The left hand rear room has had small bathroom added at a later period. The floor plan of the basement is the same as the first floor. The upper floor has four rooms with small fireplaces.</p><br>
<p>Additional pictures are available.</p><br>
<p>The Isaac Roosevelt House is located on Riverview Circle in Hyde Park, New York, United States. It was the main house of Isaac Roosevelt&#39;s Rosedale estate on the Hudson River. His grandson, future United States president Franklin Roosevelt, spent a lot of time there as a child when it was the home of his uncle John.</p><br>
<p>It was built in a late application of the Federal style, with some later Italianate touches added. In 1993 it was added to the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>Building</h2><br>
<p>The house sits on a 1.9 acre lot on the east side of Riverview Circle, near the top of a small rise less than a mile inland from the river, visible from the house over the trees in the neighborhood. It is a two-story, five-bay clapboard-sided frame house on an exposed brick foundation. The rectangular main block has a two-story north wing, a one-story south wing, and a one-story projecting bay on the west (front) facade.</p><br>
<p>Its cross-gabled roof, pierced by four chimneys, has large overhanging eaves with exposed rafters and a plain cornice supported by wooden brackets. The same treatment is found on the wing roofs as well. At the ends of the gables are round-arched windows with louvered shutters. The recessed main entrance contains a glazed wooden double French door with a molded surround and elliptical transom. All the windows on the first floor have a small cornice and shutters. A one-story flat-roofed porch wraps around the front and both sides, supported by chamfered posts.</p><br>
<p>Above the entrance on the second story is a projecting bay window. It has a flat roof with the same roof treatment as the main roof. The flanking windows are similar to their first-story counterparts. The front facade is topped with a Palladian window and shutters at the attic level.</p><br>
<p>The south wing has a one-story octagonal enclosed porch. The eastern (rear) facade also has a porch similar to the one on the front. The north wing has a flat-roofed projecting bay of its own at the northwest corner, and a porticoed entrance to the basement at the northeast corner.</p><br>
<p>The interior retains the Federal-style center-hall plan. The adjoining rooms on either side have many of their original features such as woodwork, hardware, and mantels.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Isaac Roosevelt (1790–1863) purchased the land for his estate, in 1832, five years after his marriage. It was near his father James&#39;s estate, Mount Hope, most of which is now the grounds of the former Hudson River State Hospital. Isaac chose the name Rosedale for his own property.</p><br>
<p>After his death in 1863, his son John Aspinwall Roosevelt inherited the property. He made several renovations and additions to the house, including the front porch, and is most responsible for its present appearance. His nephew Franklin, the future president, spent much time at Rosedale as a child.</p><br>
<p>The property remained in the Roosevelt family until 1954, when Rosedale was subdivided to create the present suburban neighborhood around it. The house, a cottage and boathouse on the river are the only estate buildings that remain. There have been no major alterations to either.</p><br>
<p>The 1938 Lincoln County Courthouse is an Art Moderne style building in Pioche, Nevada. The 1938 courthouse replaced the so-called "million-dollar courthouse" built in 1871, whose last payment on the approximately $800,000 it cost was coincidentally made in 1938.</p><br>
<p>In 1937, Lincoln County began receiving proceeds of a major boom in lead and zinc mining that ran through the 1950s and provided a major portion of the county&#39;s tax revenues. As the old county courthouse deteriorated, sentiment to replace it grew, resulting in a 1937 bond issue. At this time the county received a grant of $26,800 from the Public Works Administration toward 45% of the cost of a new courthouse. The PWA money carried conditions, one of which was a close review of the design. A modern look was preferred, to the point that a simplified Art Deco-Art Moderne style became known as PWA Moderne. The new courthouse was designed by Las Vegas architect A.L. Worswick in this style.</p><br>
<p>After an initial bidding process in which all bids were above the $60,000 budget, a second bid in 1938 produced a low bid of $49,347. The bidder, L.F. Dow of Los Angeles and Las Vegas, completed the courthouse in 1939. The building has served as the county courthouse, jail, county sheriff&#39;s office, and state office building ever since. It was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002.</p><br>
<p>The first Lincoln County Courthouse, also known as the Pioche Courthouse and the Old Lincoln County Courthouse, in Pioche, Nevada earned the title "Million Dollar Courthouse" after it cost $75,000 to build in 1872, for a relatively small building. With added costs attributed to finance charges and fiscal mismanagement, the cost in 1872 dollars came to over $800,000. The debt incurred by the county was not retired until 1938, when the new courthouse was under construction.</p><br>
<p>The budget for the courthouse project was $26,000. However the initial construction contract was broken and the building was completed with separate contracts at a much higher total cost. In the meantime the county issued a $75,000 bond and quantities of scrip to cover other county obligations that were charged to the courthouse project. With the decline of mining in the county tax assessments fell and the county failed to keep up with interest charges and made no payments at all on principal. An attempted repudiation of the debt in the 1880s failed. Finally, in 1907 the Nevada legislature established a plan to redeem the debt at 65% of the outstanding obligation, with part of the debt undertaken by Clark County, newly created from the southern part of Lincoln County in 1909. The debt was retired in 1938, the same year that the new courthouse was built. The 1872 courthouse was alleged at the time to be unstable and deteriorating.</p><br>
<p>Despite its state of disrepair, the courthouse survived almost forty years of abandonment and was restored in the 1970s to function as a local history museum. The courthouse was designed by T. Dimmock and Thomas Keefe. The two-story building is Italianate in style with a brick front and rubble stone masonry sides and rear. Sited on a hill to the rear, the jail is accessible from the second floor. The courthouse was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.</p><br>
<p>The Pershing County Courthouse in Lovelock, Nevada is a Classical Revival building built in 1920–21. The courthouse&#39;s plan is hexagonal with a circular dome over the central circular courtroom. The building was designed by Frederic Joseph DeLongchamps, who had previously designed six other Nevada courthouses. DeLongchamps was involved in the design of a new courthouse for Humboldt County, where the old courthouse had burned. As a result of resentment over assessments for the replacement in Winnemucca, the new Pershing County was created from part of Humboldt County and its seat established in Lovelock. DeLongchamps, as Supervising Architect for the State of Nevada, undertook the new Lovelock courthouse.</p><br>
<p>The courthouse features a shallow Ionic portico on a raised basement backed by a plain rectangular mass. Behind this is the hexagonal main body of the courthouse, built with curving walls. A shallow dome, reminiscent of Thomas Jefferson&#39;s University of Virginia Library, crowns the central courtroom.</p><br>
<p>The Roosevelt Point Cottage and Boathouse are located on the Hudson River near the end of River Point Road in Hyde Park, New York, United States. They were both built around 1860 as part of Rosedale, the estate of Isaac Roosevelt, grandfather of Franklin D. Roosevelt.</p><br>
<p>Roosevelt&#39;s son John, who inherited the estate, was a champion ice yachter. He stored his craft in the boathouse, and his crews would warm up in the cottage. In 1993 both properties were added to the National Register of Historic Places as a single listing.</p><br>
<h2>Property</h2><br>
<p>The boathouse and cottage are located in a five-acre (2 ha) parcel between the tracks built as the Hudson River Railroad (now used by CSX and Amtrak&#39;s Empire Service) and the river itself. The Hyde Park Marina is located to the south. Most of the land is unpaved and open; truck trailers from a business to the north are stored around the property.</p><br>
<p>The cottage is visible from where River Point Road crosses the tracks. It is a one-and-a-half-story frame house on a stone and brick foundation with board-and-batten siding, three bays wide at the front. Its steeply pitched gabled roof is shingled in asphalt, pierced by a central brick chimney and finials and cross-gabled in the west (rear) elevation.</p><br>
<p>Scalloped vergeboards decorate the gable ends, and the cornice is similarly trimmed. The centrally located front entrance, on the eastern facade, has a bracketed pent roof, and a wooden hood covers both windows, each flanked by louvered shutters. Inside much of the original finishing remains, such as the flooring, doors and woodwork.</p><br>
<p>The boathouse is a long frame building located to the north. It is sided in board-and-batten as well with a stone course at ground level on its northern elevation. It has a double-pitched slate roof with an open area in between to allow for ventilation. A metal vent pipe rises from the roof ridge at the south, with additional pipes coming out of the western wall.</p><br>
<p>Inside, the boathouse has been slightly renovated for use as an office, which required some new braces for the rafters. Besides that and the removal of the loft, the building remains intact.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The cottage was built by 1860 to house tenants on the Rosedale estate. Records show that it was home to Rosedales gardener later on, when Isaacs son John Aspinwall Roosevelt owned the property. He was an avid sportsman, and in the 1880s was a champion ice yachter at a time when the Hudson just north of Poughkeepsie and the river&#39;s salt front, where it freezes over in cold winters, was the center of the sport in the United States.</p><br>
<p>The boathouse was specially built to accommodate his yacht, the 68 ft Icicle, now on display at the Franklin D. Roosevelt Presidential Library and Museum, also in Hyde Park. The boathouse&#39;s double-pitched roof recalls the gambrel roofs found on many Dutch Colonial homes in the area. Sails were stored in the loft, no longer extant.</p><br>
<p>John Roosevelts crews would warm up between and after races in the cottages front room. His nephew Franklin spent much time at Rosedale as a boy, and as a young man competed in ice races himself, storing his own yacht in the boathouse.</p><br>
<p>The estate remained in the Roosevelt family&#39;s hands until the mid-1950s, when it was subdivided to create the suburban-style residential neighborhood to the south of River Point Road. The main house, boathouse and cottage are the only remaining buildings from Rosedale.</p><br>
<p>The Nobles Emigrant Trail, also known as the Fort Kearney, South Pass and Honey Lake Wagon Road, is a trail in California that was used by emigrant parties from the east as a shortened route to northern California. It was pioneered in 1851 by William Nobles, who discovered an easy shortcut between the Applegate Trail in Nevada and the Lassen Trail in California. The trail was extensively used until the 1870s, when it was superseded by railroads.</p><br>
<h2>Discovery and establishment</h2><br>
<p>The main trail to California in the 1840s was the California Trail, which followed the Humboldt River in Nevada, then the Truckee River, and over the Donner Pass in California. A northern variation was pioneered by the Applegate brothers in 1846, using a more northerly route that connected with destinations in Oregon. Peter Lassen established a variant route that passed Lassen Peak on the way to the Sacramento area. Lassen scouted the area of Honey Lake with William H. Nobles for a legendary "Gold Lake", but having failed, they parted company, with Nobles continuing to the east and accidentally scouting a shorter, easier trail than Lassen&#39;s.</p><br>
<p>Nobles, born in New York in 1816, had moved to Minnesota in 1841 to work as a carpenter, then as a carpenter and wagon-maker. By 1851 he had moved on to California. When Nobles returned to California from his expedition with Lassen, he showed a party of businessmen the route for a fee of $2000. With the subscribers vouching for the usefulness of the 300 mi route, he returned to Minnesota in 1853 to promote the route, marrying in Illinois along the way. The Minnesota legislature commissioned Nobles to present the route to Congress in Washington. Nobles&#39; efforts persuaded Congress to appropriate $300,000 for an expedition along the route, led by Frederick W. Lander, who prepared a favorable report in February 1861. The route became known as the Fort Kearney, South Pass and Honey Lake Wagon Road. Nobles was elected to the Minnesota Territorial Legislature and died in St. Paul in 1876.</p><br>
<h2>Historic designation</h2><br>
<p>The 24 mi section of trail within the boundaries of Lassen Volcanic National Park was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on October 3, 1975. The section within the park is maintained as a hiking trail.</p><br>
<p>The trail has two California Historical Landmark markers: #675 marks a stopping place along the Noble Emigrant Trail that William Nobles established near the present-day city of Susanville, while #677 marks the spot where Peter Lassen first saw Honey Lake on October 4, 1850, while on his search for "Gold Lake".</p><br>
<h2>Lassen Volcanic National Park</h2><br>
<p>The trail within the park starts in the northeast corner, passing the edge of the Cinder Cone and the Fantastic Lava Beds, then skirting Prospect Peak. Crossing Badger Flats and passing through the Devastated Area associated with the May 21, 1915 eruption of Lassen Peak. The trail parallels the Lassen Park Road, then passes between the Chaos Crags and Table Mountain, across Sunflower Flat and over Nobles Pass, following the edge of the Chaos Jumbles. The trail leaves the northwest corner of the park near Manzanita Lake.</p><br>
<p>The White Pine County Courthouse was built in 1908 in Ely, Nevada, located in White Pine County. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1986. By 2017, the county had begun plans to construct a new courthouse because of security concerns with the current one. A new courthouse began construction in 2019; after completion, the old courthouse was expected to be converted into county administrative offices. Several earlier proposals had been made for a new courthouse.</p><br>
<h2>Overview</h2><br>
<p>The two-story Italianate building, made of stone, is crowned by a small copper-domed cupola. The building is sited on a hilltop near the commercial section of Ely, with the city&#39;s middle school, library, senior citizen center, several houses, and a park in close proximity. A World War I memorial plaque is located in front of the courthouse, and lists 35 White Pine County residents who died during the war.</p><br>
<p>The courthouse was built in 1908, and replaced a temporary wood frame courthouse that itself replaced a structure that burned in 1885 in the former county seat of Hamilton. A copper boom allowed the county to invest in the present substantial two-story structure, designed by George T. Beardslee and built by R.E. Dodson and G.W. Weller for $49,688. A two-story jail was added to the rear in 1925.</p><br>
<p>The courthouse was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on September 11, 1986. A seating area was added outside the courthouse in 2004. By June 2005, the building had received new paint and carpeting.</p><br>
<h2>Security risks and new courthouse proposals</h2><br>
<p>By the mid-1960s, the jail and a sheriff&#39;s office located inside the courthouse were deemed as no longer secure. A new courthouse was proposed in 1966, as part of a civic complex that would include other buildings. As of 1967, the county commission favored a new courthouse complex, but the project did not materialize because of concerns about square footage and construction costs. A structure known as the Public Safety building was later opened elsewhere in Ely in 1976, to house the jail and sheriff facilities.</p><br>
<p>In 2005, a funding bill to construct a new $11 million judicial facility was rejected by the Nevada Legislature. In September 2006, the county commission voted unanimously to spend $100,000 to $120,000 to hire two bailiffs for the courthouse, a recommendation that came from Seventh Judicial Judge Dan L. Papez, who worked in the building. Prior to that time, deputies from the county police department worked as bailiffs during trials and were also supposed to visit the courthouse twice on days when trials were not being held. However, because of other duties, deputies did not always have time to visit the courthouse.</p><br>
<p>Papez also noted that some of Nevada&#39;s most dangerous criminals were kept at Ely State Prison and were sometimes brought to the courthouse. The Ely Times, the local newspaper, wrote at the time, "Security at the courthouse now is haphazard at best and non-existent the majority of the time. While there is a metal detector at the top of the stairs on the second floor, all of the courthouse doors stay unlocked throughout the day. And people who take the elevator to the second floor avoid the single metal detector." Papez planned to start having all entrances locked during the day, aside from the main entrance.</p><br>
<p>In February 2007, Nevada governor Jim Gibbons and State Senator Bob Beers of Las Vegas toured the courthouse and joined a list of judges and lawmakers who supported the construction of a new, $14 million judicial complex.</p><br>
<p>State funding was required for a new courthouse, but lawmakers had concerns about the ability of the county to pay for future expenses at the new facility. To alleviate these concerns, the county planned to introduce a draft proposal which would pay for the new facility&#39;s daily operations in the form of a pre-funded $4 million courthouse trust.</p><br>
<p>In March 2007, Nevada Supreme Court Chief Justice William Maupin called the courthouse "one of the most dangerous locations in this state," saying, "Nevadas most dangerous criminal defendants, those incarcerated at the Ely State Prison, frequently appear in court in Ely and sit in a witness box that is within arms reach of juror positions one and two." In his proposed budget, Gibbons included $6.5 million for a new county judicial facility. State lawmakers reduced the amount to $1.5 million, to pay for updated security measures at the current courthouse. In June 2007, five Democrat state lawmakers from Clark County eliminated funding for the courthouse entirely.</p><br>
<p>In October 2007, the United States Marshals Service completed a federal study of the building, as requested by Papez.</p><br>
<p>The courthouse remained open as there were no other court facilities in the county. In January 2010, Papez said that security had improved at the courthouse and that he felt comfortable being in the building. Papez also said that he and his staff were working to further improve security. In March 2010, the Seventh Judicial District Court banned visitors from carrying weapons inside the building.</p><br>
<h3>New facility</h3><br>
<p>By January 2017, a new courthouse complex was being planned for construction on a different parcel of land in Ely, adjacent to the Public Safety building. The new courthouse was proposed due to the security concerns regarding the old courthouse, where District and Justice Court trials continued to be held. which was expected to cost a total of $25 million to $30 million.</p><br>
<p>Regarding security concerns, District Attorney Mike Wheable said, "A high security inmate whose already serving a life sentence, what does he have to lose? And lets talk about whats going on, outside of the courthouse? You have recess for the middle school kids at the park, mothers and fathers taking their kids to the library and senior citizens meeting up to have lunch at the Senior Center, while heres a full CERT team armed with assault rifles and shotguns, on the perimeter of the building, on the back steps, and on the roof. These two circles are overlapping". Ely mayor Melody VanCamp said, "The building is in such tough shape that its not worth the money in trying to make it safe to have prisoners there and bring them in... our courthouse isnt secure enough to have the trials and arraignments. They cant make it secure enough. It&#39;s too much hassle, too much trouble."</p><br>
<p>In June 2017, no action was taken on the funding request, leaving the White Pine County Commission to choose between remodeling the courthouse or the city&#39;s jail. In September 2017, the USDA Rural Development government agency approved a $9 million loan to the county to help finance a new justice center, including a 38,000 ft&sup2; courthouse. The facility was projected to cost $17.7 million, and was scheduled to begin construction in 2018. The original courthouse was planned to be converted into county administrative offices after the new courthouse facility was completed. In April 2019, the county sought $10 million from the state to help finance construction of the new justice facility, with completion expected between December 2019 and September 2021. The state approved $5 million for the new, two-floor facility in June 2019, and a groundbreaking ceremony was held for it on September 24, 2019.</p><br>
<p>Thompsons Opera House, previously known as Browns Hall, Brown&#39;s Opera House and the Gem Theater, is a small theater building in Pioche, Nevada. The Opera House is a wood-frame building built in 1873, attached roughly to the adjoining brick Gem Theater, a 1937 masonry cinema.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Opera House was used as a community meeting house, dance hall and theater. Aleck Brown built the theater in September 1873 and featured a performance of Pygmalion and Galatea for its opening night, with a cast of professional actors from San Francisco. The Opera House was purchased in 1891 by Alexander S. Thompson of Pioche. Thompson renovated the floor and enlarged the stage. After Thompson&#39;s death in 1905 his sons Charles and Frank took over, remodeling in 1907. The Opera House screened its first silent movie in 1915. In 1935 the Opera House was renamed the Gem Theater after Frank Thompson took over sole management, but in 1937 he built a new Gem Theater next door expressly for movies. The Opera House declined from that point and finally closed in the 1940s.</p><br>
<p>The National Register of Historic Places listed the opera house in 1984.</p><br>
<p>In 2022, renovations began at the adjacent Gem Theater. In 2023, the community celebrated the opera house&#39;s 150th anniversary.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The two-story rectangular building shows elements of the Greek Revival style with its shallow front pediment. It originally featured a one-story porch across the width of the facade with a balustrade above, removed but now restored. Clapboards cover the front while the side and rear are sheathed in board and batten siding. Heavy timbers frame the structure in a post-and-beam arrangement.</p><br>
<p>The ground floor housed commercial space and dressing rooms. The main hall is on the second floor, entered by steep stairs from the street. A shed-roofed addition to the rear is built into the hillside and houses the stage at the second-floor level.</p><br>
<p>The Iglesia San Germán de Auxerre  is a historic Roman Catholic parish church located in San Germán, Puerto Rico, overlooking the main plaza of the town. Spanish settlers founded San Germán parish in 1510 and built the first permanent church in 1688. The church was repaired and reconstructed between 1717 and 1739 after damages caused by numerous earthquakes during the 18th century. Between 1834 and 1897, new repairs were made to the building, and in 1920, the tower was rebuilt after the 1918 earthquake. With trompe-lœil painting that imitates wood coffers on the ceiling, the Church of San Germáns interior is one of the most lavishly decorated on the island. The vault and arches are painted in the trompe-l&#39;œil manner. The church conserves the 1869 marble altar as well as ten other 19th century smaller secondary marble altars. A collection of 17th century metalwork, 18th century wooden carvings and a painting by José Campeche are kept in the choir loft. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.</p><br>

<p>The San Germán Historic District is a 36 acre historic district located in the western section of the town of San Germán, Puerto Rico. The district was added to both the National Register of Historic Places and the Puerto Rico Register of Historic Sites and Zones in 1994. The district contains more than 100 significant buildings, including the Church San Germán de Auxerre and the Convento de Porta Coeli.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Spanish colonists established La Villa de San Germán de Auxerre, also known as Nueva Salamanca, in the early years of the 16th century. The town of San Germán grew out of the settlement formally established in 1573, and it is this original urban core, transformed by rapid growth from the 1830s to the 1940s, that comprises the San Germán Historic District.</p><br>
<p>The district includes numerous homes, among these the noted Victorian-style Juan Ortiz Perichi House on Luna Street, which architect Jorge Rigau once called "one of the best developed spatial sequences in residential architecture in Puerto Rico." Many notable Puerto Ricans came from the San Germán Historic District; among them was Lola Rodríguez de Tió, the well-known poet and pro-independence leader who wrote the lyrics to the revolutionary version of Puerto Rico&#39;s national anthem "La Borinqueña".</p><br>
<p>In late summer 1898, under the command of General Theodore Schwan, the United States Cavalry traveled through Luna Street, during the Spanish-American War, and Puerto Ricans welcomed the Americans in this district and in nearby Mayagüez, with flowers- believing in the promise of prosperity that would come under American rule. Despite wanting to spend the night in San Germán, the Americans decided to continue moving on, to battle the Spanish.</p><br>
<p>The San Germán Historic District is roughly bounded by Luna, Estrella, Concepción, Javilla, and Ferrocarril Streets in the western section of the town.</p><br>

<p>Bristol Wells, also known as National City, Bristol City and Tempest, is a ghost town in Lincoln County, Nevada. The mining town was located on the west side of Bristol Mountain, 14 mi northwest of Pioche, Nevada.</p><br>
<p>The first mining claims were staked in 1870. The district was organized the next year when the settlement of National City grew around the National Mine. In 1872 a furnace was built to treat silver-lead ore from the Bristol Mine, 4 mi to the east. In 1878 a richer deposit was found, resulting in the construction of a stamp mill. The settlement was renamed Bristol City the same year. The stamp mill expanded in 1880 and a smelter was built, while stone ovens were built to provide charcoal for the smelter. The towns wells provided water to the mines. By 1890 a new smelter was built to treat copper ore, and the towns population reached 400.</p><br>
<p>Activity declined after 1893. A leach-recovery plant built in 1900 operated for two years, recovering copper. In 1913 an aerial tramway was built to Jackrabbit, Nevada, 2 mi to the northeast, where ore could be loaded on the Los Angeles and Salt Lake Railroad. Mining activity continued intermittently, sharply declining after 1918. The town was briefly renamed Tempest after the Tempest Mine in 1922, returning to Bristol in 1929. The post office continued until 1950.</p><br>
<p>The townsite was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972.</p><br>
<p>The Bergh–Stoutenburgh House is located on USA Route 9 opposite Mansion Drive in Hyde Park, New York. It is currently used as a district office by state senator Sue Serino.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Built before the Revolutionary War, it is one of only two remaining Dutch Colonial stone houses in Hyde Park. It is a five-by-two-bay one-story building with a slate-covered gambrel roof pierced by two brick chimneys at the gable ends. It is sided in uncoursed fieldstone, with clapboard on the gable ends.</p><br>
<p>Two small frame wings project from the north and east (rear). An arched doorway on the south leads to the cellar. The main entrance has a flat-roofed wooden portico.</p><br>
<p>John Bergh inherited the lands from his father Christian in the years before the Revolution, along with his brother-in-law Martin Dop. Both of them built houses on them sometime between 1771 and 1780, as they appear on a map of the Albany Post Road (later to become Route 9 through Hyde Park) drawn by Robert Erskine, Surveyor-General of the Continental Army, in the last years of his life, between 1778 and 1780.</p><br>
<p>In 1788 Bergh sold a hundred acres (40 ha) to Jacobus Stoutenburgh II. His daughter Margaret, in turn, eventually inherited the property. It remained in use as a house throughout the 19th century and into much of the 20th. It was still a residence when it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972,</p><br>
<p>At some point since it was converted into Edo Sushi. The restaurant heavily remodeled the interior in keeping with Japanese dining traditions, though it still retains some of the original furnishings, such as the fireplace.</p><br>
<p>The William Seabrook House, also known as the Seabrook is a plantation house built about 1810 on Edisto Island, South Carolina, United States, southwest of Charleston. It is located off Steamboat Landing Road Extension  close to Steamboat Creek about 0.7 mi from Steam Boat Landing. It was named to the National Register of Historic Places on May 6, 1971.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>William Seabrook was a Sea Island cotton planter and part-owner of the Edisto Island Ferry, which had a steamboat named the W. Seabrook. The house was built around 1810. His initials are on the ironwork of the front stairs. Tradition indicates that James Hoban, the architect of the White House, was the designer.</p><br>
<p>William Seabrook died in about 1837. His widow lived in the house until 1854 or 1855. The house was purchased by J. Evans Eddings.</p><br>
<p>At the end of the Civil War, the Sea Islands below Charleston were abandoned to the Union Army forces. The house was used for staff headquarters and provost. After the war ended, freed slaves temporarily took refuge in the house.</p><br>
<p>Around 1875 it was sold. At some point, Judge Smith purchased the house. Later, the house was bought and restored by Donald D. Dodge.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>This house has been described as a classic plan for houses on Edisto. It is an Early Republic or Federal style, -story frame house on a raised basement. It has a gabled roof with dormers. It has a double portico with pediment with a semielliptical fanlight, columns, and arched entablature. Double stairways rise to the first floor portico. The main door has sidelights and a semielliptical fanlight. The windows on the main and second floors are nine over nine lights.</p><br>
<p>The house originally had four rooms on the main floor divided by a central hall that extends to the smaller garden portico. Double stairways to the second floor go up a landing over the garden portico door.</p><br>
<p>Additional pictures are available. A floor plan and photographs taken before its restoration are also available.</p><br>
<p>Grace Episcopal Church  is the second oldest Episcopal congregation in Chicago, Illinois, United States. Since December 1985 it has occupied its 6th location, in a former printing works located at 637 South Dearborn Street in the Printers Row neighborhood. Now also called Grace Place, the historic 3-story redbrick late 19th century Arts and Crafts building is a contributing property in the South Dearborn Street-Printing House Row North Historic District. Grace Place is also listed in the City of Chicagos Chicago Landmarks Historic Resources Survey.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In 1851, parishioners from Chicagos oldest Episcopal congregation, then about a decade old, Trinity Episcopal Church helped found Grace Episcopal Church in the developing downtown district, which is now known as the Chicago Loop. The first building, a wooden structure, was at Dearborn and Madison Streets, and its first rector, Rev. Cornelius F. Swope, served until 1854. In 1859, the Rev. Clinton Locke became rector, and mostly served in a building at Wabash Avenue and East 8th Street and later at Wabash between 14th and 15th Street, while its parent Trinity Church moved to Jackson street between Michigan Avenue and Wabash by 1860. The Great Chicago Fire in 1871 destroyed both churches, as well as much of the city. That third Grace Church building burned down in 1915, so the congregation rebuilt the partially damaged parish house nearby, and used it for a decade. In 1929, the congregation moved to a new building at 1450 South Indiana Avenue, near St. Lukes Hospital, with which some were associated. The congregation returned to the Loop when it dedicated its fifth building, at 33 West Jackson in 1966.</p><br>
<p>It has been at its current location, in the former Printer&#39;s Row district, since 1985. Grace Episcopal Church remains an active parish in the Episcopal Diocese of Chicago. Its current rector is the Rev. Amity Carrubba.</p><br>
<p>Colonel John Mason Loomis was a devout Episcopalian and active in Chicago&#39;s Grace Episcopal Church and a big contributor.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>Under the supervision of architects Laurence Booth/Paul Hansen and Associates (Booth Hansen), the buildings first floor was converted into space for church social functions as well as a center for community meetings, while all of the second floor and most of the third floor were combined into worship space for the church. Booth Hansen carefully avoided the temptation to convert the buildings interior into the then popular loft spaces and designed the two-story high worship space so as to minimize the intrusion of the massive wooden support posts into the raised circular sanctuary area. The remainder of the third floor was designed for offices. In 1989 Booth Hansen received the Chicago AIA chapter&#39;s 10 year award in interior architecture for Grace Place.</p><br>
<p>The Main Street–Albertson Street–Park Place Historic District is located in the residential neighborhood just west of US 9 near central Hyde Park, New York, United States. It is a predominantly residential area of 6.8 acre along the named streets, also including Hyde Park&#39;s library and a few former church buildings since converted into houses.</p><br>
<p>Its buildings were the core of Hyde Park in the 19th century, before later development and expansion shifted the center of Hyde Park to its current location just to the northeast. Many are in their original condition. In 1993 it was recognized as a historic district and added to the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>The irregularly-shaped district boundaries are mostly lot lines and streets. It begins at the intersection of Main Street and Route 9, including all buildings fronting on Main for the two blocks west to Park Place. All the buildings on Park between Main and Albertson streets to the south are included, as well as some buildings at the west end of Albertson.</p><br>
<p>This includes 36 buildings and structures in all, only six of which are not considered contributing properties to the district. Most of them are frame houses and their outbuildings built between 1840 and 1860, a time of slow transition between the Federal and Greek Revival architectural styles at the vernacular level.</p><br>
<p>The most significant exception is the newest contributing property, the James Roosevelt Memorial Library at 2 Main Street, constructed of fieldstone in 1927 at the behest of Roosevelt&#39;s son Franklin, since his family made the donation that allowed for its construction. Buildings at 15 and 19 Park Place are the former Baptist Church and St. James Rectory, dating to the late 1840s. Across the street, 20 Park was likewise once a Methodist parsonage.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The area north of Poughkeepsie along the east bank of the Hudson was known as Hyde Park as early as the 1730s, but remained largely unsettled until the 1760s, when the first large estates that were initially used as summer residences were established. By the end of the century, both the present center of Hyde Park and Staatsburg had been established.</p><br>
<p>Hyde Park became a town in 1821. Fifteen years later, in 1836, Main Street established itself as a short route between what was then the Albany Post Road and todays Market Street. A hundred lots were subdivided, and by 1858 maps show a thriving community with churches, houses and businesses in the area of the present historic district. Most of their owners were local businessmen and craftsmen. Later, the influence of large estate-owning families like the Roosevelts and Vanderbilts grew to the point they played a major role in the local economy, and their workers resided in the houses. This culminated in 1927 with the Roosevelt Librarys construction.</p><br>
<p>Most homes in the district were built in a modest Greek Revival style, three bays wide rather than the customary five, since the lots were narrow. Later on, in the late 1860s, two houses had mansard roofs added, in keeping with the Second Empire style growing in popularity at the time.</p><br>
<p>In the 20th century, the rise of the estates, the growth the area experienced after Franklin Roosevelt became President and spent his vacations in the area and the rise of the automobile changed the geography of downtown Hyde Park. Main Street was still unpaved in the 1930s; at that time Roosevelt spearheaded the construction of the new post office at the crossroads of what was now Route 9 and Market, where it joined a new firehouse. The center of the town shifted to that junction, northeast of the old downtown. The buildings of what had historically been Hyde Park remained largely untouched, with a few modern additions to the neighborhood in the later decades of the century.</p><br>
<p>The USA Post Office in Ely, Nevada was built to a standardized plan developed by the Office of the Supervising Architect, led by Louis A. Simon. The building uses an attenuated Classical style that was popular with Federal buildings in the 1930s. The post office opened on January 29, 1938, following delays in the start of construction. It closed in 2002, and was reopened in 2005 as a convention center for the nearby Hotel Nevada and Gambling Hall. That year, it was also listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The building footprint is about 3,800 ft&sup2, with a symmetrical facade. The building is one story in front, with a two-story section at the loading dock to the rear. The primary building material is brick, with cast stone accents. The building&#39;s most distinctive feature was removed in 1977 as part of accessibility improvements, when the original classical pediment and entry doors were removed and replaced by an aluminum storefront. The interior consists of a public lobby furnished with plaster walls and tile wainscot and floor. A work area and offices occupy the remaining two thirds of the main level. A basement contains storage and utility spaces.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Ely Post Office was built as part of an appropriation for post offices in Ely, Elko, Las Vegas and Reno, passed in June 1932. Plans to construct the post office were delayed because of a price dispute between the federal government and the owner of the preferred building site. However, from July 1933 to April 1937, the Nevada and federal governments disputed which of the two would have ownership of the land, with the federal government refusing to construct the post office until it was given complete jurisdiction of the property. Construction began in June 1937, and the post office was completed in late January 1938. It opened with a dedication ceremony on January 29, 1938.</p><br>
<p>The post office closed in 2002, In November 2003, the White Pine County commission approved a tentative plan to lease the building from the Postal Service for a nine-month term, on the condition that the county could receive federal funding to renovate the building. The county determined that the building would need an expansion to accommodate various county offices that were intended to be relocated there.</p><br>
<p>The post office was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on October 7, 2005 as US Post Office, Ely, Nevada.</p><br>
<p>The Rhodes Cabin was built in 1928 to accommodate tourists visiting what was then Lehman Caves National Monument, now Great Basin National Park. The cabin was one of several built by local contractor Charles Davis near the entrance to Lehman Caves for concessioners Clarence and Bea Rhodes. Rhodes built a number of structures in the area, including the "Pine Bowery" and the "Lehman Tea Room", as well as developing access within Lehman Cave.</p><br>
<p>The one room log cabin measures 19 x, with two doors, four windows and a dirt floor. The cabin is now part of an interpretative exhibit.</p><br>
<p>The state of Nevada paid Rhodes $15,000 for his facilities in 1932 and donated the property to the Park Service in 1933. During the 1930s the cabin was converted for housing for National Park Service employees. It is one of the last surviving structures of its era in the park.</p><br>
<p>The Roslyn East Gate Toll House is a historic building located within the Roslyn Cemetery on Northern Boulevard  in Greenvale within the Town of North Hempstead, in Nassau County, New York, United States.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>It was built in 1864 and is the last remaining toll house for the North Hempstead Turnpike. It is frequently but incorrectly assumed to be a toll house for the "Vanderbilt Motor Parkway" which ran considerably south of this location.</p><br>
<p>Over the years as development continued, the North Hempstead Turnpike was moved about 150 feet south of its original path (now called Northern Blvd.) and the Roslyn Cemetery (owned by the Roslyn Presbyterian Church) slowly surrounded the "East Gate Toll House". There was a "West Gate Toll House" on the western side of the William Cullen Bryant Viaduct – but either due to massive renovation or removal it is no longer recognizable.</p><br>
<p>With the demise of the toll road, the Roslyn East Gate Toll House became no more than a storage shed for cemetery tools.</p><br>
<p>In the early 1980s, Dr. Roger Gerry (President of the Roslyn Landmark Society) desired to have the Roslyn East Gate Toll House restored. Due to budget constraints of the Roslyn Presbyterian Church, this was not possible.</p><br>
<p>A solution was found by a three way agreement between the Roslyn Landmark Society, the Roslyn Presbyterian Church and Richard Hahn, whereby Hahn would restore the building at his time and expense to the specifications of the Roslyn Landmark Society. In return, he would utilize the building for his own residence. A historical architect prepared detailed drawings, microscopic paint analysis was done on all painted surfaces to determine original paint colors and after two years of work by Richard Hahn the project was completed to specifications.</p><br>
<p>The Roslyn East Gate Toll House has been included in the Roslyn Landmark Society&#39;s annual "Roslyn Walking Tour" and a very detailed description of its history written by Dr. Roger Gerry which can be found in one of the "Roslyn Landmark" tour guides. It continues to be a private residence.</p><br>
<p>In the fall of 2024, the Roslyn Presbyterian Church repainted the Toll House "baby blue" despite covenants and restrictions preventing this type of modification, as this was the first historic house on Long Island to utilize microscopic paint analysis.</p><br>
<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on August 16, 1977. Just shy of three years later, on June 23, 1980, it was listed on the New York State Register of Historic Places – and on June 24, 1986, it was listed as a Town of North Hempstead Designated Landmark.</p><br>
<p>The Albert Lammers House is a historic house in Stillwater, Minnesota, United States, built circa 1893. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982 for having local significance in the themes of architecture and industry. It was nominated for its association with a local family that expanded Stillwaters lumber interests into northwest Minnesota, and as the citys leading example of Queen Anne architecture.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Albert Lammers House is a two-and-a-half-story wood-frame building on a prominent corner lot. The house boasts an octagonal turret on the south and a round turret on the northeast corner. The complex front façade has recessed balconies on both the second and attic levels. The lower balcony has a latticework frieze while the upper has a seashell motif in its shape and flanking cartouches. Much of the detailed woodworking was done by Scandinavian carpenters, which may explain the Viking-style ornamentation on the roofline.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Albert Lammers was born in Minnesota and married Emma Kroon in 1882. He spent decades in the lumber business with his brother George. Primed by their success in Minnesotas initial logging region—the St. Croix Valley—lumbermen like the Lammers Brothers and Isaac Staples were instrumental in expanding the industry to other parts of the state. In 1898 the Lammers operation cut 150,000,000 ft of lumber from the Red Lake Indian Reservation and transported it to sawmills in Crookston in northwest Minnesota. The Lammers didn&#39;t operate their own sawmills but contracted to cut and bark logs for other companies.</p><br>
<p>Several of the early lumbermen in the valley were motivated to build elaborate, monumental houses to boast of their success in industry. Besides the Albert Lammers House, other houses of industry pioneers include the Roscoe Hersey House, the Captain Austin Jenks House, and the Ivory McKusick House. These houses are also listed on the National Register.</p><br>
<p>As the Minnesota pineries became depleted, Albert Lammers traveled extensively, visiting his logging camps and searching for new business opportunities. He helped establish logging operations in South Carolina, Florida, and the Bahamas, and also diversified into mining.</p><br>
<p>Albert and Emma Lammers had four children. She died in 1910. Albert Lammers died in 1920 while in British Columbia, still attending to his lumber empire. Since the 1950s, Lammers House has been a rented residential property.</p><br>
<p>The Osceola Ditch, also known as the East Ditch, was built in 1889–1890 to convey water from Lehman Creek, Nevada to a hydraulic mine operation at Osceola. Extending for 18 mi, the ditch includes a 600 ft tunnel as well as wooden flumes. The project also includes a rock dam and headgate on Stella Lake. The ditch&#39;s terminus at Osceola, Nevada became disused during the early 1900s and was destroyed entirely by a fire in the 1940s. Much of the East Ditch is included within Great Basin National Park.</p><br>
<h2>Osceola Mine</h2><br>
<p>Gold was first discovered by James Matteson and Frank Heck in 1872 in what would become the Osceola mining district, 3 mi to the west of what would become Great Basin National Park. Placer gold was discovered by John Versan in 1877. The town of Osceola grew to 1500 residents, extracting almost $2 million in gold, including a 24 lb nugget. Gold was found in nearby Dry Gulch, but its extraction would require large scale engineering. The Osceola Gravel Mining Company formed to exploit the deposit using hydraulic mining techniques, constructing the West Ditch in 1884-1885. The water proved to be inadequate for the purpose, so the East Ditch was surveyed in 1885. Water rights were purchased from Absalom Lehman, discoverer of Lehman Caves.</p><br>
<h2>The ditches</h2><br>
<p>The project was built to serve the Osceola Gravel Mining Companys placer gold mine, which required enormous quantities of water to blast apart gold-bearing gravel and rubble deposits, and was capable of delivering 2500 miners inches of water. A companion project, the West Ditch could provide 1100 miner&#39;s inches. The East ditch was built at a cost of $108,222.65, with a width of 4 ft at the bottom, 2.5 ft in width with a uniform grade of 14 ft per mile (1.6 km). The ditch could carry 40,000,000 USgal per day. The East Ditch included 14 sections of wood flume, including 3,768 ft in Lehman Canyon. Flumes were 4 ft wide and 4 ft deep, with a uniform grade of 32 ft per mile (1.6 km).</p><br>
<p>Accessory structures included four ditch keepers&#39; houses. Extensive improvements were made to the mining area, including expansion of the receiving reservoir, new sluices, and two 8 in hydraulic monitors. Despite all of these measures, there was never enough water available for the mining operation to reach its full potential. Operations had to be curtailed in 1894 and again in 1896. After eleven years, the Osceola Mine shut down for good. An abortive 1906 plan to organize a new company, the Nevada Amalgamated Mines and Power Company, with plans for reduction works, a power plant, three towns and a railroad spur, never reached fruition.</p><br>
<p>The West Ditch predated the East Ditch, extending 16 mi to the west side of the Snake Range. It is not included in the historic district designation. Little remains of the West Ditch. The East Ditch was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1996. The East Ditch no longer carries water and is overgrown, but sections of flume remain. The tunnel at Strawberry Creek has partially collapsed. Little remains of Osceola itself.</p><br>
<p>The Roscoe Hersey House is a historic house in Stillwater, Minnesota, United States, built 1879–1880. It was designed by architect George W. Orff in a mix of Eastlake and early Queen Anne style. Roscoe Hersey  was a key figure in Stillwaters lumber and mercantile development, the son and local representative of Isaac Staples Maine-based business partner Samuel F. Hersey. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982 for having local significance in the themes of architecture, commerce, and industry. It was nominated for its embodiment of the commercial success of the Hersey–Staples partnership, the ties between the St. Croix Valley and Bangor, Maine, and the peak of Stillwater&#39;s lumber industry.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Roscoe Hersey House is an irregular wood-frame building with 18 rooms. Besides its elaborate exterior decoration, its dominant feature are four two-story bays projecting from the north, east, and south elevations and the southeast corner. The house originally rose to another half-story, with the east bay above the main entrance extending into a three-and-a-half-story belvedere tower, but the building&#39;s upper reaches were destroyed in a 1926 fire, after which the roofline was restructured in its present configuration.</p><br>
<p>The house&#39;s decorative woodwork was made possible by the advent of machine production. Embellishments include friezes beneath the second-story windows and above the porches, scrolled brackets, and fluted columns.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Maine natives Samuel Hersey and Isaac Staples formed the firm of Hersey, Staples and Company in 1851 to harvest the rich pineries of the St. Croix Valley.</p><br>
<p>Samuel Herseys eldest son, Roscoe, served in the 1st Maine Heavy Artillery Regiment during the Civil War. Severely wounded at the Battle of Spotsylvania Court House, Roscoe Hersey mustered out at the rank of colonel. In 1867 the younger Hersey moved to Minnesota with his wife Eva to look after the familys business interests there. Initially managing the firm&#39;s Lake City branch, he relocated to Stillwater in 1872 and partnered into the company of Hersey, Bean and Brown. In 1878 he served one term as a state senator.</p><br>
<p>Seeking to build a residence to befit their station, the Herseys purchased three adjacent lots in May 1879, and their grand home was completed the following year. Several of the early lumbermen in Stillwater were motivated to build elaborate, monumental houses to boast of their success in industry. Besides the Roscoe Hersey House, other houses of industry pioneers include the Captain Austin Jenks House, the Albert Lammers House, and the Ivory McKusick House. These houses are also listed on the National Register. The Herseys only lived in this home for seven years, selling it in 1887 to move to Cathedral Hill, Saint Paul. Successive later owners John G. Nelson and James E. McGrath were both lumbermen as well.</p><br>
<p>The Johnson Lake Mine is a former tungsten mine located within the boundaries of Great Basin National Park in eastern Nevada. Located on the east slope of the southern Snake Range at an elevation above 10,000 ft, the 100 acre historic district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1995.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The lake and mine are named for Alfred Johnson, who filed a mining claim in Snake Creek Canyon in 1909. A rancher who also wished to exploit the location opposed him in court, but Johnson prevailed. Tungsten was discovered in the area in 1912 by John D. Tilford. Tilford set up the Bonita Mine, while Johnson set up the Johnson Lake Mine in 1912. The mine was finally closed when a snowslide destroyed the aerial tram terminal after 1935.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The district includes a mining adit and stope, an aerial tramway, four log structures, a log ore mill, a stable, trash dumps and a dam on Johnson Lake. Three cabins were built for accommodations, three small cabins for sleeping and storage, and a larger communal cabin. There is also evidence of tent platforms. The site is well preserved, with some of the mining equipment intact. The aerial tramway transported ore from the mine 300 m across a steep slope to a terminal building, where the ore was packing in barrels and hauled by mule 1.1 km to the mill. The milled ore was then packed 1.8 mi to the location of the present Shoshone Campground and further transferred 18 mi to Garrison, Utah. From Garrison the ore went 75 mi to the railroad at Frisco, Utah.</p><br>
<p>The mine followed an 18 in wide ore-bearing quartz vein about 1,800 ft into the mountainside.</p><br>
<p>The Lehman Orchard and Aqueduct were established by Absalom Lehman, the discoverer of Lehman Caves in what would become Great Basin National Park in eastern Nevada. Lehmans orchard covered more than 7 acre, with about 40 apricot, pear, peach, crabapple, plum and apple trees in the 1930s, of more than 100 trees at its peak. Seven apricot trees and one peach tree remain. To irrigate the orchard, Lehman built a ditch from Lehman Creek 2 mi to the orchard, where it encircles the orchard. A branch above the orchard ran to a reservoir, now vanished, that was used for ice, fishing and swimming. A portion of the aqueduct has been reconstructed. Both the orchard and the reconstructed portion of the ditch are near the National Park Services Lehman Caves Visitor Center.</p><br>
<p>The orchard and aqueduct were placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.</p><br>
<p>Baker Ranger Station was established in 1911 at the edge of Baker, Nevada to administer USA government lands in White Pine County, Nevada. The original 80 acre plot was first known as the Baker Administrative Site, becoming a year-round ranger station in 1918 for the Baker Ranger District of Nevada National Forest. The compound became a guard station and work site with the division of Nevada National Forest into Humboldt and Toiyabe National Forests in 1957. In 1986 Great Basin National Park was established and the station was transferred to the National Park Service as an administrative center for the park.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The ranger station includes four wood-frame buildings dating to the 1930s as well as a variety of more recent structures. The first Baker Ranger Station was built in 1911, amounting to four rooms and regarded as unsightly. It was removed by the time new structures were built, beginning with a 1935 cottage, followed by an office, barn and garage-fire cache structure. The cottage was based on USA Forest Service Plan R-4, No. 23, the office on R-4, No. 4, and the barn R-4, No. 13B. The buildings were built by men on the local relief rolls. Other infrastructure items at the compound were built by Civilian Conservation Corps labor.</p><br>
<p>The complex was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1995.</p><br>
<p>The Central Theater was built in Ely, Nevada from 1939 to 1941. The Art Deco style cinema was built by Percy and Warren Hull after they were denied permission to expand Ely&#39;s Capital Theater, which opened in 1916. Originally it was built as a 725-seat theater. The Central is unusual in a town where most of the structures were built in the boom times of the early 20th century. The one story building features a vertical CENTRAL neon sign over the marquee. The interior features curved surfaces and is in a good state of preservation.</p><br>
<p>Construction began in 1939, with an ultimate cost of $80,000. The Central held its grand opening on March 29, 1941, with Arizona as its opening show. The Central was advertised as "The Finest Theater in Eastern Nevada." The Central Theater closed on February 4, 1993, and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on August 5, 1993. The Central Theater had reopened as of 2006, but was closed in 2011, while its owners attempted to sell the building. The theater later reopened on May 25, 2012. In the weeks following its reopening, the theater experienced a large turnout of customers.</p><br>
<p>By October 2013, theater manager Chris Lani and his father-in-law, Don Purinton, announced plans to purchase the theater, which would become effective in March 2014. Lani and Purinton planned to start showing second-run films, as well as live theater shows, musical acts, and sports coverage. Lani and his brother had previously purchased the Capital Theater with plans to renovate and reopen it.</p><br>
<p>A new projection screen, as well as a digital projector and sound system, were installed in April 2014, as part of a planned renovation by Lani and Purinton. The 2016 film, The Dark Hand, includes scenes shot at the Central Theater, where the film was later premiered.</p><br>
<p>The Wales House is located on West Market Street near the center of Hyde Park, New York, United States. It is a large brick house dating to the end of the 19th century, an early application of the Colonial Revival architectural style by architect Charles Follen McKim of the New York City firm of McKim, Mead and White.</p><br>
<p>It was built by Frederick William Vanderbilt, owner of the estate next door, for Edward Wales, his secretary. In 1993 it was added to the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>Property</h2><br>
<p>There are six buildings and structures on the 5.5 acre lot, situated on land that gently slopes down towards the Hudson River to the west, with a more densely developed residential street, Doty Avenue, to the east. Four of them are considered contributing resources to its listing on the National Register.</p><br>
<p>The house itself is a two-story, four-bay brick building, with its front facade facing east, parallel to the road. It is topped with a shingled gabled roof pierced by three brick chimneys and three gabled dormer windows on the east. The roofline is marked by moderately overhanging eaves.</p><br>
<p>Louvered shutters flank most of the windows, and they have stone sills. The center bay of the second story has a rounded-arch window. The main entrance is located in the third bay, slightly off-center. It consists of a wooden Dutch door, within a portico with molded architrave and topped with a turned balustrade. There is a similar, less decorative portico on the north, and a porch with large Doric columns extending from the dining room on the west elevation.</p><br>
<p>Inside, the entrance leads to a large central hall, with many of the other rooms located off it. Many original finishings remain, and the floor plan has not been altered.</p><br>
<p>One the east of the house is its major outbuilding, a gable-roofed clapboard garage built in the early 20th century. A cast iron fence and stone wall, both contributing structures as they were part of the original construction, run along the eastern edge of the property. The swimming pool and pool house to the southwest are of more recent construction and are non-contributing.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Charles Follen McKim of McKim, Mead and White designed the house for Frederick William Vanderbilt along with the rest of his estate, located just to the north, in the late 1890s. At the time the land was also part of the estate. Vanderbilt and his wife, Louise Holmes, were unable to have children of their own and so were very generous to their friends, such as Edward Wales, who was also his private secretary.</p><br>
<p>McKim designed the house in the then-emerging Colonial Revival style, a contrast to the Beaux-Arts buildings such as Vanderbilt&#39;s mansion he is often remembered for. It featured Georgian touches like the dormers, balustrade and modillioned roofline, balancing some signs of modern influences like the widely spaced windows and off-center main entrance.</p><br>
<p>Wales moved in upon the houses completion in 1898, and remained there until his death in 1922. Afterwards, it became the residence of Herbert Shears, caretaker of the Vanderbilt estate. When Vanderbilts niece donated the property to the federal government for use as a National Historic Site in 1938, the houses lot was subdivided to allow it to continue as Shears private residence.</p><br>
<p>It has remained one ever since. The swimming pool and pool house were added in the later 20th century, but there have been no major alterations to the property otherwise.</p><br>
<p>The American Legion Hall in McGill, Nevada, United States, was built by the Nevada Consolidated Copper Company circa 1918 as accommodations for single women working at the company&#39;s employee boarding house. In 1925 the building was moved to its present location to serve as housing for single male salaried employees.</p><br>
<p>The company gave the building to the American Legion in 1932. The original building plan of the one story balloon frame building had a central hall with bedrooms on either side. The Legion removed the interior partitions, inserting tie rods to keep the walls from spreading. Toilets and a kitchen were placed at one end, along with a small meeting room with a stone fireplace, while the remainder of the space was left open as a social hall.</p><br>
<p>The American Legion Hall functioned as a significant center of civic activity in McGill. It was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1994.</p><br>
<p>The Mary Anne Wales House, also known as The Briar-Patch, is a historic house on Snow Hill Road in Dublin, New Hampshire. Built in 1886, it is a well-preserved local example of the Shingle style, and an early residence of the town&#39;s late 19th-century summer resort colony. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Mary Anne Wales House is located between Dublin&#39;s village center and Dublin Pond, on the ridge of Snow Hill east of Snow Hill Road a short way south of New Hampshire Route 101. The house is sited to afford commanding views to both the east and west, with views of the pond and nearby mountains. It is a -story frame structure, with a gambrel roof and shingled exterior. Its basic rectangular form is augmented by a variety of projections, including a polygonal two-story bay on the west (front) facade, and a two-story porch on the south side.</p><br>
<p>The house was built in 1886 for Miss Mary Anne Wales of Boston, Massachusetts, who had been summering in Dublin for twenty years before having this house built. The property also includes a barn from the same period, a "stable house" built in 1934, and a studio built in 1959. Owners of the house have played host to a number of notable musicians, including conductor Serge Koussevitsky and violinist Jascha Heifetz.</p><br>
<p>The Ely LDS Stake Tabernacle was built by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints  in 1927-1928 as a church and community center in Ely, Nevada. The two-story Colonial Revival building is now owned by White Pine County and is used as a community meeting hall. The contractor for the project was Joseph Don Carlos Young, grandson of Brigham Young.</p><br>
<p>The stake tabernacle is an unusual example of Colonial Revival design in Nevada, where the style was never widely used. It is also notable as an early example of the expansion of the LDS Church into neighboring states. The LDS church first was established in Ely in 1915. In 1926 the Ely Ward was established. The tabernacle was completed in 1928, containing a 600-seat auditorium, meeting space and classrooms. The facility was replaced by a new meetinghouse in 1957.</p><br>
<p>The Fenwick Hall, which is also known as Fenwick Castle, is a plantation house built about 1730 on Johns Island, South Carolina, across the Stono River from James Island and Charleston. It is located between River Road and Penneys Creek. It was named to the National Register of Historic Places on February 23, 1972.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>John Fenwick, a brother of the former privateer Robert Fenwick, was from a county family in England. He acquired the plantation on the Stono River by 1721. In 1730, he built the central, rectangular portion of the house.</p><br>
<p>His son, Edward Fenwick, inherited the plantation about 1750. He constructed a carriage house to the west and a stable to the east of the house. He imported and bred English thoroughbred horses for racing. He built a 3 mi track nearby under the current Maybank Highway. During this period, the plantation was called Johns Island Stud as described in Harrison Fairfaxs book of the same name. Since Fenwick was a Tory in the Revolutionary War, the property was confiscated. Some of it was returned by legislation in 1785.</p><br>
<p>In 1787, the plantation was sold to Fenwick&#39;s cousin John Gibbes. At this time, the octagonal wing was added.</p><br>
<p>By 1929, when the house was bought by Mr. and Mrs. Victor Morawetz from Burt Whilden, the house was in ruins. It was restored by Mr. and Mrs. Victor Morawetz with the assistance of the architects Simons and Lapham of Charleston. On May 18, 1938, Mr. Morawetz died, and the house was inherited by his wife who sold it to Mr. Claude Blanchard in 1943. The most recent sale of the house and property was in 2018.</p><br>
