<p>The John Hendricks House and Dutch Barn is located along Old Post Road in Staatsburg, New York. It is a late-18th-century stone house that once served as an inn along the Albany Post Road.</p><br>
<p>A Dutch barn on the property also dates to that era. It underwent a number of renovations and additions in the Picturesque mode in the 19th century. The house was restored to its original appearance in the late 20th century. In 1984 it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>Property</h2><br>
<p>The two buildings are located near the west boundary of a wedge-shaped 30-acre (12 ha) lot between Old Post Road, US 9 and Hughes Avenue. Its west (front) facade is opposite Margaret Lewis Norrie State Park. The barn is located just to its southeast. The only other building on the property is a house on Hughes. It is modern and considered non-contributing.</p><br>
<p>The house itself is built into a gentle slope. It is a rectangular building, five bays wide by two stories tall. The west and south sides (visible from the road) are faced in stucco; the other two retain their original fieldstone. It is topped with a gabled roof from which four brick chimneys rise.</p><br>
<p>The west elevation features a two-story porch supported by six pillars. Its upper story has a balustrade. All doors and windows have simple wood trim. On the east is a partially enclosed one-story frame wing. Its southern three bays have a porch with a miter-arched frieze and square columns.</p><br>
<p>Inside the house has many original finishings, including its flooring and Federal mantels. The center-hall floor plan remains intact, with some features suggesting early use as an inn. The main room is divided by what appears to be a bar, and the north room contains some aspects of the original beehive oven.</p><br>
<p>To the southeast of the house is the Dutch barn. It retains its original 18th-century form but has had some later additions, such as cross-gabling, a hip-roofed cupola, board-and-batten siding and quatrefoil windows. Small oculi are located in the gable apexes, and a similarly sided and fenestrated frame wing extends from the southwest corner.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Hendricks bought the property and built the house around 1785, when the Pawling Patent was first subdivided. Local tradition holds that it was an inn for travelers using the Albany Post Road, and the layout of the first floor provides some support for this.</p><br>
<p>On Hendricks&#39; death in 1815, the property was acquired by George Lamoree, a major speculator in land in the area during the early 19th century. At the time it was over 90 acres (36 ha). His heirs sold the property to William Dinsmore in 1884. He added it to his large estate and remodeled the barn to match those at his main farm complex further north.</p><br>
<p>By the mid-20th century the house had become vacant. A succession of owners in the century&#39;s later decades restored it to its original appearance.</p><br>
<p>St. Luke’s Episcopal Church is a historic Carpenter Gothic–style Episcopal church building located at 219 Chunns Cove Road, in the Chunn&#39;s Cove neighborhood of Asheville, North Carolina. Built in 1894, at a cost of $728, St. Luke’s was designed by E. J. Armstrong, a member of the congregation. Its first service was held September 17, 1894.</p><br>
<p>On September 30, 1997, St. Luke’s Episcopal Church was added to the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>History of the Building</h2><br>
<p>In 1847, the Reverend Jarvis Buxton came to Asheville, then a community of about 800 people, to become the Rector of Trinity Church. A missionary-minded priest, the Rev. Buxton was responsible for beginning the work of the Episcopal Church in Chunns Cove, Beaverdam, West Asheville, and Waynesville. St. Luke’s Episcopal Church was designed by E. J. Armstrong, a member of the congregation, and it was constructed in 1894, at a cost of $728. The first church service was held on July 9, 1894. Note: In recognition of the buildings 125th anniversary, the rector will employ the 1898 Book of Common Prayer to repeat this "first sermon" on the exact day in 2023.

<p>In the 1940s, the Reverend James B. Sill obtained two, possibly three, stained-glass panels, or “lights,” that had once been installed in St. Chrysostom‘s Chapel in New York City. That chapel, built and maintained by Trinity Chapel, had been demolished in 1929 because it had sustained structural damage from a nearby subway. The distinctive style of the stained glass leads this researcher to conclude that it was designed and manufactured in the late 19th century by Heaton, Butler and Bayne of London. One of the lights is installed in St. Luke‘s but another is broken—perhaps during the initial journey to western North Carolina—and is stored at the church.</p><br>
<p>From an item published in the Asheville Citizen, dated January 11, 1942:</p><br>
<p>The original deed for the land was professionally restored by licensed archivists in 2013, and now hangs in the climate-controlled parish house, to protect the historic document from environmental fluctuations. A framed facsimile hangs in the church’s nave.</p><br>
<h2>Present Day</h2><br>
<p>St. Luke’s is a small but active parish in the Episcopal Diocese of Western North Carolina. has been the rector since December 4, 2004.</p><br>
<p>Holy Eucharist services are held at 8:00 am and 10:30 am; studies and classes begin at 9:00 am; and a coffee hour follows the later Sunday service. A healing service is held on Wednesdays at 12:15 pm. Special services for Church holy days are also held throughout the year, most notably during Lent, the Easter Season, the Christmas Season, and others, as noted on the church website and its Facebook page. The parish house is located on the same lot, where adult formation classes and children‘s Bible studies are held; the rector‘s offices are also there.</p><br>
<p>In keeping with the Episcopal Diocese of Western North Carolina‘s commitment to social justice, St. Luke&#39;s parishioners serve the larger community in many ways. St. Luke‘s allows the newly built Hamilton Hall to be used by various recovery groups.</p><br>
<h3>Stewardship</h3><br>
<p>One boundary of the church property lies along Ross Creek, a tributary to the French Broad River. Since the late 2000s, parishioners have been removing invasive plants (mainly kudzu) from the creeks banks. In 2012, the church partnered with RiverLink to install native plants that help filter pollutants from rainwater as it runs off roofs and roadways on its way to Ross Creek. An info kiosk, installed by a local Scout troop, describes the project and recognizes St. Lukes involvement of other eco-partnerships.</p><br>
<p>Today, the ongoing work to keep back the kudzu, its environmentally friendly plantings, and low-impact artificial lighting (despite significant development in East Asheville over the last few decades) has earned St. Luke’s the honor of being certified in the s F.A.I.T.H. program (Fellowship Actions Impacting The Habitat). The NCWF “recognizes and certifies places of worship of all denominations that meet the requirements for a wildlife-friendly habitat. The certification celebrates the beauty and importance of nature and focuses on shared responsibility of wildlife stewardship.” Black bears and wild turkeys are sometimes seen along the propertys western boundary as they move to and from Ross Creek.</p><br>
<h3>Cemetery and Labyrinth</h3><br>
<p>A consecrated cemetery and the Garden of the Resurrection, a cremains burial area, lie just west of the church, near the western property boundary. Simple carved gravestones, cut from local stone, date as early as the mid–19th century.</p><br>
<p>A low-profile labyrinth, outlined in smooth river stones, was installed on the grounds in 2014. All are welcome to walk the paths in contemplation. The church offers a.</p><br>
<p>Welty&#39;s General Store is a store in Dubois, Wyoming.</p><br>
<p>Welty&#39;s was first established in 1889 in a log cabin just outside of the town, by Frank A. Welty. The store was placed next to the homestead cabin of his father, Dr. Francis Welty. In 1897 George Hays and Huey Yeomans built a general store in Dubois. Welty purchased the store in 1898 and moved his operation into town, dismantling the first building and appending it to the new store. Both buildings were of log construction with an earth roof.</p><br>
<p>An addition was built in 1915 out to the street. In 1922 more frontage was added, with a log portico at the entrance. Further additions in the 1950s expanded the wings to provide more sales space. A steeply-pitched log-framed roof was added to the front at this time, while the sod-roofed portions remained.</p><br>
<p>Weltys was a general mercantile store, providing a broad range of merchandise to an isolated community. It also provided other services, functioning as the post office and Dr. Weltys medical office until Dr. Weltys death in 1919. Weltys was a John Deere dealer and stocked farm and ranch supplies. After his death the store was operated by his son Frank A. Welty Jr.</p><br>
<p>The store was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979. It is operated by the founder&#39;s grandson Frank A. Welty III.</p><br>
<p>The Southern Pacific Railroad Depot in Yuma, Arizona, was built as a Spanish Colonial Revival-style station by the Southern Pacific Railroad in 1926. Routes that served the station include the Sunset Limited, the Golden State, and the Imperial.</p><br>
<p>After Southern Pacific Railroad ceased passenger operations upon Amtrak&#39;s start in 1971, the station housed the Yuma Fine Arts Museum. The depot was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1976. The structure was razed in the summer of 1994 after a devastating fire damaged the building in the spring of 1993. It was delisted from the National Register in 2019. The location is now used for the Yuma Armed Forces Park.</p><br>
<p>Amtrak passengers are now served at the Yuma Amtrak station which consists of two open platforms and a tunnel.</p><br>
<p>Southern Pacific Railroad Passenger Coach Car-S.P. X7 dates from c. 1875 and was used until 1938. It is a former passenger coach of the Southern Pacific Railroad&#39;s Southern Division. The railway vehicle was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000, at which time it was located in Yuma, Arizona.</p><br>
<p>It is a representative example of the type of passenger coach car used when the Southern Pacific Railway entered Arizona, in September 1877, at Yuma Crossing.</p><br>
<p>A historic photo documents Geronimo beside a similar coach car in Texas in 1886.</p><br>
<p>The Vicarage is a historic house located at 150 Circle Drive, in DeFuniak Springs, Florida in the United States. Also known as McLendon House, it is located next to St. Agatha&#39;s Episcopal Church. It is a contributing property in the DeFuniak Springs Historic District, which was added to the National Register of Historic Places on August 28, 1992.</p><br>
<p>Built in 1889, it was one of two identical frame Florida vernacular houses which stood side by side on Circle Drive. Its twin to the left has since been moved to a different location on the drive. It went through a succession of private owners, some of whom used it as a boarding house for visitors to the DeFuniak Springs Chautauqua. St. Agatha&#39;s Episcopal Church, built in 1896 to its right, bought it for use as a vicarage in 1977 using funds given by Violet Horn McLendon of Marianna. The second floor serves as the private quarters of the vicar and family, while the first floor rooms and kitchen are shared with the congregation which use them as its parish hall.</p><br>

<p>The Hume School is an 1891 former school building in the Arlington Ridge neighborhood in Arlington County, Virginia. It is the oldest school building in Arlington County. It has been the home of the Arlington Historical Society since 1960.</p><br>
<h2>The building</h2><br>
<p>The Queen Anne-style building was designed by B. Stanley Simmons, a Washington, D.C. architect. Its design reflects the changing thoughts around the importance of education and larger schools. Frank Hume, a Confederate veteran of the Civil War and local civic leader, sold his property to the county for $250 and donated some additional land for the playground. It was an active public school from 1891 until it closed in 1958. A community campaign ended with the building being deeded to the Arlington Historical Society in 1960. They later purchased additional property behind the building to ensure views toward Washington and prevent development.</p><br>
<p>The National Park Service listed the building on the National Register of Historic Places on June 18, 1979.</p><br>
<p>The Hume School is currently operated as the Arlington Historical Museum by the Arlington Historical Society. It has over 4000 artifacts representing all of the history of Arlington County. The museum is open on Saturdays and Sundays from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.</p><br>
<h2>Arlington Historical Society</h2><br>
<p>The Arlington Historical Society was founded in September 1956. It moved into the Hume school in 1960 and began an extensive restoration before opening the building as a museum in the early 1960s. The AHS continues as a non-profit organization supporting research, preservation, and education efforts related to the local history of Arlington County, Virginia.Multiple sources:</p><br>
<p>The Ball-Sellers House was donated to the Arlington Historical Society in 1975 for preservation and interpretation.</p><br>
<p>On Feb 15th, 2011, Arlington County announced that the 2011-2012 vehicle decal sticker would feature a photo of the Hume School taken by Wakefield High School junior Maya Giacobbe as part of a contest.</p><br>
<p>Princeton Cemetery is a historic pre-Civil War cemetery in rural Dallas County, Arkansas. It is located on County Road 201, southeast of Princeton, which was the county&#39;s first seat.

The cemetery is an open tract of land, about 3 acre in size, surrounded by forest on three sides, and the road on the fourth.</p><br>
<p>The cemetery was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.</p><br>
<p>Cohasset is a house in northeastern Hampton County, South Carolina about 5 mi north of Hampton, South Carolina near the unincorporated community of Crocketville. It was built about 1873. It is north of USA Route 601. It was named to the National Register of Historic Places on July 24, 1986.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The house was built by William James Gooding in northern Beaufort District prior to the formation of Hampton County. Gooding was a farmer and also held a number of political offices including a representative from Beaufort District to the South Carolina General Assembly, sheriff of Beaufort District, treasurer of Beaufort County, and treasurer of Hampton County. In 1879 by the end of Reconstruction and the slave labor system, he had 100 acre under cultivation out of 950 acre. He grew cotton, corn, sweet potatoes, oats, rice, and sugar cane. Tenants also cultivated some of his land.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>It is a two-story weatherboarded Carolina I-house with a side-gabled roof. It was built from pine grown on the farm and sawed in Gooding&#39;s sawmill. The house has a raised basement with brick foundation in common bond with Flemish bond stenciling. It has two interior, corbeled chimneys. A one-story, shed roof porch extends across the front facade. The porch has six solid posts and a railing with turned balusters.</p><br>
<p>The front elevation has five bays with the center door with sidelights and two six over six lights on each side. The second story has five six over six lights. The center window has sidelights. There are louvered shutters on the windows of the first and second floors. The raised basement has a center door with sidelights and four over four lights aligned with those on the main level. These windows have batten shutters.</p><br>
<p>There is a one-story gable-roofed appendage perpendicular to the left elevation at the basement level that serves as the kitchen. On the rear elevation at the main level, there is a one-story, shed roof appendage with a center porch flanked by enclosed rooms.</p><br>
<p>The interior plan is one room deep, two rooms wide characteristic of an I-house. The two rooms on the first floor are on either side of a central hall. There are two small service rooms behind the main rooms. The basement has brick paver flooring and low ceilings. The two rooms on this level are the dining room and a quilting room. They have plain mantels and horizontal flushboard paneling. The second floor has a small room opposite the central window.</p><br>
<p>The house is an excellent example of a 19th-century Carolina I-house. There is also a picture of a surviving tenant house.</p><br>
<p>Marianna Missouri Pacific Depot is a historic railroad station at Carolina and Jarrett Streets in Marianna, Arkansas. It is a long rectangular brick building, with a tile roof. A projection on the track side for the telegrapher&#39;s booth is matched by a projection on the opposite side. The depot was built in 1915 by the Missouri Pacific Railroad during a major expansion campaign throughout the state, to provide passenger and freight services to the city.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the USA National Register of Historic Places in 1994, at which time it housed a job training center.</p><br>
<p>The Benner House is located on Mill Street in the village of Rhinebeck, New York, United States, just off USA Route 9. It was built by a German immigrant, Johannes Benner, in the 1730s. It is the oldest house in the Village of Rhinebeck.</p><br>
<p>It is a rare example of a one-room-plan stone house in the Hudson Valley built to German traditions, rather than Dutch. It is the sole house with that floor plan remaining in Rhinebeck. In 1987 it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>Building</h2><br>
<p>It is located at the oblique intersection of Mill Road and Route 9 on the southern fringe of the village. The northern (rear) facade is oriented diagonally to Mill Street, making it prominently visible to southbound traffic leaving Rhinebeck on the highway. Its lot is mostly wooded, with an open area to allow a view of the road and the valley from the front. A modern frame garage is at the northwest corner of the lot. It was built in 1938. It is not considered a contributing resource to the Register listing.</p><br>
<p>It is a -story rectangular home with a gabled roof. An asymmetrically placed Dutch door is located in the south (front) facade, with flared stone lintels like the windows nearby. It is behind a shed-roofed porch with a shallow-arched frieze and square columns that spans the entire facade. On the north is a gabled frame wing with a more moderately pitched roof, exposing the two attic windows above it on the main block.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Johannes Benner/Bender emigrated to the Hudson Valley from Upper Bavaria with his parents and brother sometime in the early 18th century. Local tradition holds that he, or a member of his family, built the house around 1740, although no records have been found confirming this. Johannes Benner leased the land from Henry Beekman. It is further believed that the first meetings of the local Methodist church were held in the house half a century later, in 1791–92. The earliest deed known shows the house owned by an S.S. Myers in 1797.</p><br>
<p>By 1850, locally prominent landowners the Livingston family owned the house, using it as a support building for their nearby Grasmere estate. At one time it was believed to be a writing school. In 1874, Ann O Brien purchased the house. She died in 1900, and the property passed to her son, Civil War Veteran, Thomas O Brien. In 1946, Thomas O&#39; Brien died. The property then passed to his two daughters, Ann Gregory and Mary Sullivan. It later passed through several other owners into the late 20th century.</p><br>
<p>The October 26, 1929, edition of the Rhinebeck Gazette describes bins found in the top story or garret of the house. These were traditionally used to store grain out of the reach of pilfering Indians. However, there are more practical reasons that local grain was stored in the garret of the house. It was more secure from rodents in the barn and would have been a dryer atmosphere, because even when heat was not required, a fire for cooking was always burning in the fireplace.</p><br>
<p>The Bragg House is a historic house in rural Ouachita County, Arkansas. It is a two-story Greek Revival house located about 4 mi west of Camden, the county seat, on United States Route 278 . The house is basically rectangular in plan, with a hip roof. Its main entrance is sheltered by a two-story temple-style portico, with four columns topped with Doric capitals, and a turned-baluster railing on the second floor. Peter Newport Bragg began construction of the house in 1842, but did not complete it until 1850. The house was built out of virgin lumber sawn on Braggs sawmill by his slaves; it remains in the hands of Braggs descendants.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.</p><br>
<p>The Astor Home for Children building, home to Astor Services, is on Mill Street  in Rhinebeck, New York, United States. It is sponsored by Catholic Charities in the Archdiocese of New York, and provides mental health services to children on an inpatient and outpatient basis. The institution began in 1904 as Holiday Farm in nearby Rhinecliff.</p><br>
<p>In 1914, Vincent Astor hired the New York City architectural firm of McKim, Mead & White to design the present building for the facility. Catholic Charities took over ownership upon Astor&#39;s death three decades later. In the mid-20th century, major additions were made to the property, but enough of its original buildings remain for it to be listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Alice Morton, daughter of former state governor and USA Vice President Levi P. Morton, founded Holiday Farm in 1902 as a home for convalescent children. It accepted boys age six to nine, and girls six to fifteen. The group did not accept the "feeble-minded", nor those with heart conditions. The children had to present a doctor&#39;s certificate that neither they, nor anyone in their family was contagious. They were picked up at Grand Central Station and brought to Rhinebeck. Train fare, board and clothing were provided free. In 1917, Vincent Astor served as president, with Helen Dinsmore Huntington as Secretary.</p><br>
<p>Ten years later it bought the current property for $1 after another wealthy and prominent part-time resident of the area, Vincent Astor, hired McKim, Mead & White to design the building. At that point the property consisted of the home, with only its east wing, and the guest cottage, possibly used as a staff residence.</p><br>
<p>At some point later, the facility was renamed the John Jacob Astor Home For Convalescent Children. In 1945, Catholic Charities took over operation of the home. Seven years later, in 1952, they decided to change the focus of the program to children with emotional problems. The two west wings were added in 1954 and 1963 respectively to facilitate this new mission. Vincent Astor died on February 3, 1959.</p><br>
<p>In 1966 the home opened an outpatient facility in Rhinebeck. Eight years later, in 1974, it became one of the first mental health facilities in the country accredited by the Joint Commission, and in 1978 began operating Head Start in Dutchess County. The Astor Learning Center, a private school for children with emotional problems, was opened on the grounds in 1980. In recognition of this expanded programming, the new name was adopted in 2009.</p><br>
<h2>Property</h2><br>
<p>The Astor Home is on an 18.4 acre parcel, bounded on the east by Route 9 and on the south by Landsman Kill. It is gently undulating and mostly wooded. Two of the five buildings and structures on it, the home and a guest cottage, are considered contributing resources to its listing on the National Register.</p><br>
<h3>Main building</h3><br>
<p>A short circular driveway leads from Route 9 to the parking lot, where the main building&#39;s northern entrance facade dominates. It is an H-shaped two-story building with a steeply pitched cross-gabled slate roof. It has many distinctive Jacobean features, such as vertical emphasis via the roof gables from which rise brick chimneys with corbeled chimney pots. There are projecting end wings and classically inspired door and window decoration trimmed in stone. The main entrance is located in a portico with four Corinthian columns supporting a full entablature done in bas-relief.</p><br>
<p>On the rear, two-story wings project from the southeast and southwest corners. The east has a brick and stucco wing with decorative brickwork in a diagonal pattern above the first story. There are two wings on the east, both later additions of brick and concrete. A chapel and another, smaller wing are attached to the corners of one. All the wings on this elevation are considered non-contributing since they were added in the mid-20th century.</p><br>
<p>The buildings interior has been extensively modified over the years to serve the facilitys needs. It retains little of its original floor plan.</p><br>
<h3>Outbuildings</h3><br>
<p>Near the west wing are the two non-contributing buildings on the property, both modern garages. A swimming pool, likewise too new to be contributing, is located to the south of.</p><br>
<p>Several hundred yards to the south of the main building is the other contributing resource, the guest cottage. It is a clapboard-sided frame two-story house on a stone foundation built into a hillside so that only one story is exposed on the north (rear) facade. Its gabled roof has overhanging eaves. A two-tiered porch runs along the entire south facade.</p><br>
<p>The Perry County Courthouse is located at Main and Pine Streets in the commercial heart of Perryville, Arkansas, the seat of Perry County. It is a two-story brick building, with a hip roof. It is very simply styled, with rectangular two-over-two windows set in unadorned openings . Its main entrance is deeply recessed in an opening framed by pilasters and an entablatured, with multi-light sidelight windows to either side of the door. The courthouse was built in 1888, and was the county&#39;s third. It has been enlarged by single-story wings to either side.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.</p><br>
<p>Witherspoon Lodge No. 111 Free and Accepted Masons  is a historic building located is at 1410 North Clayton Street in Mount Dora, Florida, United States. The building was added to the USA National Register of Historic Places in 2009.</p><br>
<p>The building is named for Witherspoon Lodge, a Prince Hall tradition Masonic lodge chartered by the Union Grand Lodge of Florida, which purchased the building in 1903. The building served as a meeting place for the lodge for many years, but as of 2013 the lodge is listed as inactive.</p><br>
<p>The building also served as a school for African-American children from 1922 to 1925.</p><br>
<p>It was built around 1921.</p><br>
<p>Franklin Hall in Goodwell, Oklahoma, USA, built during 1909-10 by a local contractor, has been used in various ways for housing throughout its history. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places listings in Texas County, Oklahoma in 2007 with the alternate name Girls Dormitory/Boys Dormitory.</p><br>
<p>It is a 37 ft by 80 ft concrete building with a moderately sloped hipped asphalt roof, and has no particular architectural style. It was built, along with two church buildings, in an effort to get the state legislature&#39;s approval for an agricultural high school to be located in Goodwell. The school was approved and was named the "Panhandle Agricultural Institute", later renamed to "Panhandle Agriculture and Mechanical College" and eventually in 1974, to Oklahoma Panhandle State University.</p><br>
<p>Originally the building housed students, faculty, and the president of the school and his family. It soon became the Girls Dormitory, with males housed in tents nearby. In 1914 a second residential building, also named the Girls Dormitory and later named Earle Hall, was built and housed the females plus the president and family. The Franklin Hall building became the Boys&#39; Dormitory and was renamed to Franklin Hall in the mid-1920s. After World War II, it was converted into 12 apartments for married students, and occasionally faculty. Eventually it became housing for honor students. Building code deficiencies led to the building being mostly vacant from 2004 to the time of its NRHP nomination in 2007.</p><br>
<p>The building was deemed significant for its association with higher education. It is the only building surviving from the time of the school&#39;s founding.</p><br>
<p>Idabel station, also known as Frisco Station, is a train station that was built in 1912 by the St. Louis–San Francisco Railway in Idabel, Oklahoma. It replaced an earlier frame structure that had been constructed in 1902. It was listed on the USA National Register of Historic Places in 1979. Today it is the headquarters of the Idabel Chamber of Commerce and Agriculture.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The building footprint is 102 feet long by 24 feet wide. The walls are red brick, and the entire building is covered with a clay tile roof. The roof has eyelid dormers on the north and south faces. A notable feature is that the eaves have an unusually wide 8 foot overhang beyond the walls, because of the relatively high rainfall in this part of Oklahoma. It cost $10,000 to construct in 1912, and was built by the E. M. Vanderslip and Company of Oklahoma City.</p><br>
<h2>NRHP listing</h2><br>
<p>At the time the NRHP application was submitted, the station was still owned by the Frisco Railroad, which was using the building as a freight office with a one-man staff. However, the company was already planning to close the office, in which case it would demolish the structure to eliminate future maintenance costs. The Idabel Chamber of Commerce has moved into the building since then.</p><br>
<p>The McCurtain County Historical Society argued the building was the center of commercial and social activity for Idabel for 40 years, being the host of four passenger trains daily and also of freight trains, while there were no other common carriers serving Idabel. "Idabel" itself is named for Ida and Belle Purnell, daughters of a railway official.</p><br>
<p>The Prairie County Courthouse of Des Arc, Arkansas is one of two county courthouses in Prairie County, Arkansas. Des Arc is one of two county seats, and De Valls Bluff, the other also has a courthouse. The one in Des Arc is located downtown, at Court Square and 2nd Streets. It is a handsome two-story brick building with Georgian and Italian Revival features, designed and built in 1913, after the city&#39;s second county courthouse was destroyed by fire. It was designed by R.P. Morrison and cost $27,500.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1977.</p><br>

<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985. It is also a contributing property in the Salem Downtown Historic District which was NRHP-listed in 1997.</p><br>
<p>The Orpheum Theater in St. Louis, Missouri is a Beaux-Arts style theater, built in 1917. It was constructed by local self-made millionaire Louis A. Cella and designed by architect Albert Lansburgh. The $500,000 theater opened on Labor Day, 1917, as a vaudeville house. As vaudeville declined, it was sold to Warner Brothers in 1930, and served as a movie theater until it closed in the 1960s.</p><br>
<p>In the 1970s, the theater was restored and renamed to American Theater and was listed under that name on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985. In 1993, the rock band Phish played two concerts at the venue - one in April and the other in August - both of which were released in full on the bands 2017 live album St. Louis 93.</p><br>
<p>The theater was later sold to local businessmen Michael and Steve Roberts, who renamed it the Roberts Orpheum Theater. The Roberts brothers sold the theater in 2012, and it closed. The Chicago developer, UrbanStreet Group, plans to restore the theater.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The theater was closed in 2012. However, new owners, Jubilee Group, purchased the building in 2017.</p><br>
<p>The Marriott St. Louis Grand Hotel is a hotel located in the Washington Avenue Historic District in Downtown St. Louis, Missouri. The hotel was renovated in 2015.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Hotel Statler St. Louis was designed by George B. Post & Sons and was built in 1917 as part of the Statler Hotels chain. It was the first air-conditioned hotel in the United States. Statler Hotels was bought by Hilton in 1954, and the hotel became The Statler Hilton in 1958. It was sold to Towne Realty Company of Milwaukee in 1966 and renamed The St. Louis Gateway Hotel. The hotel was sold to Denver businessman Victor Sayyah and St. Louis politician Peter J. Webbe in 1981 for $3.2 million. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982. The hotel closed for a renovation in 1986, but caught fire on February 12, 1987 and never reopened. The fire was determined to have been deliberately set.</p><br>
<p>The hotel sat empty for over a decade, until the city government pushed for its renovation as part of a 1000-room hotel to serve the adjacent America&#39;s Center. Cleanup work began on the hotel in November 1999 at a cost of $5 million. The hotel was then renovated from 2000 to 2002 by Kimberly-Clark and Historic Restoration Inc. at a cost of $265 million. At this time, a new addition was constructed to the east. It was originally to have had 38 floors but was eventually reduced to match the height of the existing hotel. The hotel was renamed the Renaissance St. Louis Grand Hotel.</p><br>
<p>The hotel was foreclosed on by its bondholders in 2009, after it failed to generate enough revenue to cover interest payments. The hotel was sold in 2014 to Haberhill Inc. and was renovated from November 2014 to August 2015 at a cost of $30 million. At the completion of the work, it was renamed the Marriott St. Louis Grand Hotel.</p><br>
<p>Stoney Creek Independent Presbyterian Chapel of Prince William Parish or Stoney Creek Presbyterian Chapel is a chapel in southeastern Hampton County, South Carolina, United States in the unincorporated community of McPhersonville, South Carolina about 4 mi west of Yemassee. In the USGS Geographic Names Information System, it is called McPhersonville Church. It was built about 1833. It is one block north of Pocotaglio Road  on State Highway 25-286. The chapel is only antebellum structure in McPhersonville. It was named to the National Register of Historic Places on May 22, 2002.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In 1743, a group of local residents established a non-Anglican Stoney Creek church near the unincorporated community of Pocotaligo on Pocotaglio River. The minister was William Hutson, who was a disciple of George Whitefield. In 1785, this was incorporated as the Independent Presbyterian Chapel of Prince William Parish.</p><br>
<p>Before the Civil War, many rice-planters from Prince William Parish built summer homes on McPhersonville, which was then in Beaufort District. This enabled them to stay at somewhat higher ground during the hotter months of summer with malaria-bearing mosquitoes. In 1832, some planters set aside about 1 acre for the construction of a summer chapel.</p><br>
<p>The chapel was used as hospital and campsite by the Union Army. The parent Stoney Creek Presbyterian Church on the Pocotaligo River was dismantled for use in the construction of a bridge and other structures.</p><br>
<p>After the war, the congregation used the summer chapel in McPhersonville. The congregation eventually diminished and was dissolved in 1967. The chapel was assigned under the custody of the First Presbyterian Church of Beaufort.</p><br>
<p>It was used as a filming location in 1993s Forrest Gump. It stood in for the Four Square Baptist Church where Gump prays with the choir for shrimp.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The chapel is a simple, Greek Revival structure with gabled roof. Its facade faces southwest. It has a rectangular plan with a semi-hexagonal bay in the rear. The rectangular portion of building is about 40 ft long, 24 ft wide. There is a front portico that is about 11 ft long and 24 ft wide with four Doric, solid heart pine columns that rest on wooden plinths. There is a simple pediment on the front facade. There are central arched doors flanked by four over four light windows topped with two light semi-elliptical transoms. There is a round stained glass window above the doorway. The side elevations have five bays with four over four windows with similar semi-elliptical transoms. The rear bay has two smaller four over four windows. All these windows have arched, louvered shutters.</p><br>
<p>An octagonal steeple with arched six light windows on four sides over the portico was added in 1890. The steeple is topped with a wooden finial.</p><br>
<p>The interior has plain plaster walls, its original wooden pews, and wide pine floors. A two-tiered platform is at the rear. A Farrand & Votey pump organ is in front of the rear door. It is screened by a paneled balustrade topped with a privacy curtain hung from turned posts that extend above each end of the balustrade. There is painted communion table in the front. Electrical lights have replaced the original kerosene hanging lamps.</p><br>
<p>A sketch of the floor plan and front and side elevations have been published.</p><br>
<p>The Gov. Thomas Bennett House is a National Register property located at 69 Barre St. in Charleston, South Carolina. It was built in approximately 1825 on land which had once belonged to architect and builder Thomas Bennett, Sr. . It was named to the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Thomas Bennett, Sr.s son, Thomas Bennett, Jr. (1781-1865), took over his fathers lumber and milling business but was also active in state and local politics. He was superintendent of Charleston, South Carolina; a member of the South Carolina House of Representatives (and was its speaker from 1814 to 1818); a member of the South Carolina Senate; and governor of the state. After his term as governor, Thomas Bennett, Jr. undertook the construction of this notable house on land which originally overlooked the rice and saw mills which he owned.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The Thomas Rose House is a National Register property located at 59 Church St. in Charleston, South Carolina. The -story stuccoed brick house was probably built by planter Thomas Rose in 1733. Thomas Rose House was built on a lot granted through the King&#39;s Lords Proprietor to Elizabeth Willis in 1680 — "one of the few grants given to a woman." Thomas Rose constructed the house on the original Charles Town Lot no. 61, inherited by his wife, Beuler Elliott, replacing an earlier dwelling. The house has excellent examples of original Georgian woodwork in the paneling, staircase, and elsewhere. In the twentieth century an owner razed a neighboring house on the adjoining lot to the south to accommodate a large garden.</p><br>
<p>The Randolph County Courthouse is located at the southwest corner of Broadway and North Marr Street in downtown Pocahontas, the county seat of Randolph County, Arkansas. It is a two-story brick and concrete Art Deco building, designed by Eugene John Stern and built in 1940 with funding from the Works Progress Administration. The primary construction material is buff-colored brick, but its raised central section is faced in gray concrete, which is also used in banding around the sides of the building. The central section has an arcade created by four tall fluted square pillars with capitals reminiscent of Corinthian design. The building replaced the old courthouse, an 1870s Italianate building that now houses other civic offices.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1996.</p><br>
<p>West Point Rice Mill is a former rice mill building in Charleston, South Carolina. It is at the City Marina at 17 Lockwood Drive. West Point Mill was one of three large rice mills in Charleston in the 19th century. This building was constructed in 1861 to replace a rice mill that had burned the previous year. It was named to the National Register of Historic Places on January 20, 1995.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In 1840, Jonathan Lucas III built a four-story brick, steam-powered rice mill on the Ashley River. This mill burned on November 20, 1860.</p><br>
<p>Construction of a new mill began quickly. Although hampered by the Union blockade, the mill was capable of full operation in late 1863. When Charleston was occupied by the Union Army in 1865, the mill was used as a food distribution center. Its neighbour the East Point Rice Mill had been rebuilt in the mid-1840s by engineer James McLaren and the Scottish merchant James Robb. The mill passed to Robb&#39;s sons James Jr and William on his death in 1859.</p><br>
<p>After the Civil War, the mill resumed operations and its production increased. In 1886, it suffered damage from the 1886 Charleston earthquake. Brickwork was damaged and the gables were brought down. At some point before the 1920s, the entire roof was replaced except for the kingposts and trusses.</p><br>
<p>In 1890, the three Charleston mills produced over 97,000 barrels of rice. Competition from western rice growers and a number of hurricanes caused rice production in South Carolina to fall. In 1888, West Point Mill Company purchased a share of Chisolms Mill. In 1894, West Point and Bennetts Mill combined and bought Chisolms Mill, which was closed. Rice production continued to fall. West Point Mill was closed in 1920, and the company began to sell its assets. Around 1925, the mills steam engine was sold to the Henry Ford Museum. The mill&#39;s property was sold to the City of Charleston in 1926.</p><br>
<p>In 1930, the USA Post Office indicated its desire to build a seaplane base for mail service at the site. Although this was never accomplished, it planted the idea of a seaplane terminal at the site.</p><br>
<p>In 1933, the Civil Works Administration started building the Municipal Yacht Basin. Later that year, the building was leased to American Bagging Company as a depot and warehouse for jute imported for its plant on Meeting Street.</p><br>
<p>The City of Charleston continued to explore opportunities for using the building as a seaplane terminal. In the spring of that year, flights from Germany to Charleston were proposed. In early 1937, the Works Progress Administration started work to convert the mill building into the James F. Byrnes air terminal. Pan American World Airways hired the New York firm of Delano and Aldrich to plan for a passenger station. Reconstruction efforts were carried out on the exterior and first two floors.</p><br>
<p>With the start of World War II in Europe, transatlantic service was abandoned. The City competed for a naval seaplane base, but it went to Jacksonville, Florida. The building was occupied by the Charleston District of the Civilian Conservation Corps. In 1941, the building was taken over for the administration of the Charleston Area Inshore Patrol of the Sixth Naval District. In 1946, it became the headquarters for the Sixth Naval District Mine Craft Base. It was used by the USA Navy through the 1950s when it was transferred to the USA Army Corps of Engineers. From 1966 to around 1986, the Trident Chamber of Commerce was located in the building along with some commercial tenants. After that, the building was again vacant.</p><br>
<p>In the fall of 1989, the building suffered from a fire with significant damage to an addition. Then Hurricane Hugo damaged the roof. After repairs, it was leased to the Bennett-Hofford Company. The restoration received one of the Preservation Society of Charleston&#39;s Carolopolis Awards in 1995.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The original building is 142 ft long and 42 ft wide with a gabled roof. Although it was the largest of the Charleston rice mills, it lacked the architectural detailing of the other two buildings. The Flemish bond brick building is three and one-half stories above ground level. There are eleven bays along the west or Ashley River elevation. The center three bays project slightly forward. It has a Palladian style with stuccoed Doric pilasters demarking the three bays of the main portico on the west elevation and pilasters on the either side of the last bay of both the east and west elevations. There are pairs of pilasters at the end of the north and south elevations. Two-story wings that are 36 ft long and 26 ft wide extend from the outer bays of the east elevation. The mill had two octagonal smokestacks on its east side.</p><br>
<p>The earthquake bolts installed in after the earthquake in 1886 are still visible on the building and its wings. The damaged gables were patched with roofing materials.</p><br>
<p>The renovations starting in 1937 were relatively minor on the exterior and major for the interior. The smokestacks were removed and a new entry was built on the east elevation. The ground level was rebuilt on a concrete slab. The gable brickwork was restored, but the brickwork was poorly matched. Demilune windows were put in the gables. Oculus windows were put in window openings on third level of the central gable on the west side. Cast-stone sills were installed in the first-floor windows. Only the first and second floors were completed.</p><br>
<p>After 1946, a first floor lobby was constructed in front of the central bays of the west side. This had a balcony on its roof with iron railing. After the 1989 fire, the balcony railing was removed and the west elevation rebuilt with three arched openings.</p><br>
<p>An elevator was installed in the 1960s on the east side entrance.</p><br>
<p>After the damage from Hurricane Hugo, the roof was replaced with standing-seam copper. Four shed dormers were added to the west side of the roof.</p><br>
<p>Additional pictures are available.</p><br>
<p>The Maples is a historic house located on 108 Montgomery Street in Rhinebeck, New York. It was built in the 1830s in the Greek Revival style. Three decades later, its exterior was remodeled, adding decoration in the picturesque mode.</p><br>
<p>For decades, The Maples was used as medical offices. When the medical offices closed, the building was listed for sale, but remained empty for three years, falling into despair. In 2017, new owners purchased The Maples and began an extensive renovation, transforming the building into professional office suites.</p><br>
<p>In 1987, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>Property</h2><br>
<p>The Maples is located on a grassy 1.7 acre lot with tall shade trees in the northern portion of the village, just across from the hospital complex. A shed is in the rear, and a stone wall runs along the front. Both are considered contributing resources to its listing on the National Register.</p><br>
<h2>Design</h2><br>
<p>The main house is a two-story, five-bay frame building on a raised fieldstone foundation. The gabled metallic roof has cornice returns and is pierced by four chimneys at the corners. The eastern (front) facade has a full-length flat-roofed veranda with cornice bracketry and scroll-sawn segmentally-arched knee braces. Small Palladian windows are located in the gable apexes on the north and south, with two quarter-round attic windows on either side.</p><br>
<p>On the west is a large two-story wing that was added later. It has a gabled roof of lower pitch than the main block, and bracketed cornices on the north and south elevations. A small one-story shed-roofed wing projects from the north.</p><br>
<p>The main entrance is a centrally located, recessed and paneled door flanked by fluted pilasters with Doric capitals. It leads to a center hallway where some original trim remains, including a late Federal mantelpiece in the southeast parlor and original woodwork on the windows. A curving staircase, also original, leads to the second story. Most of the interior has been remodeled into office space and examining rooms.</p><br>
<p>Outside, the shed to the southwest is a flushboard and clapboard-sided one-story frame building. Its gabled roof is trimmed with a scalloped pattern. The stone wall in front with central gate posts is an original feature.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Little in the historical record describes the houses builders and original owners. Local tradition has it that a farmhouse stood there in the early 19th century when it was sold to a Jeffrey H. Champlin. The houses construction date is established by its cornerstone. In 1850, a map of Rhinebeck shows Champlin still owning the house.</p><br>
<p>In 1867, H. E. Welcher was listed as the owner. It is believed that he was responsible for the exterior renovations, a common trend in Rhinebeck at the time. Among the documented later owners was William Backhouse Astor Jr., father of John Jacob Astor IV.</p><br>
<p>William Backhouse Astor Jr. purchased the 110 acre parcel containing The Maples from Griffen Hoffman in 1889, adding it to the land holdings of his Ferncliff estate. His son John Jacob Astor IV inherited the estate, including The Maples, in 1892. In 1901 John Jacob Astor renovated The Maples according to plans drawn up by Ferncliff estate superintendent Herbert Pinkham, CE to convert the house into a motor lodge for fellow automobile enthusiasts travelling the Old Post Road between New York and Albany. The house was put at the disposal of John Jacob Astor IV&#39;s fellow members of the Automobile Club of America. Facilities on the ground floor included a large kitchen and laundry, three parlors, one bedroom, full bath, and two wings with bay windows on the north and south sides of the house containing a billiard room and a library. The second floor contained 8 more bedrooms and full bath for lodgers, and a second floor balcony above the front porch. In the attic a water tank was installed. These renovations are further documented by a photograph in the archives of the Museum of Rhinebeck History.</p><br>
<p>The property still appeared as part of the Astors Ferncliff estate on a 1909 survey map. John Jacob Astor IV perished in the Titanic disaster in 1912 and his son William Vincent Astor inherited Ferncliff. In 1914, a small parcel containing The Maples house was sold off from the estate by Vincent Astor to W.H.B. Obre, and the owner was subsequently listed on surveys as Herbert Decker. For unknown reasons, sometime after John Jacob Astor IVs renovations to The Maples in 1901, the wings on the north and south end of the house and the second floor balcony were removed.</p><br>
<p>A circa 1833 Greek Revival building listed on National Register is located in Rhinebeck village.</p><br>
<p>"We arent sure when Jeffrey Hazard moved from Rhode Island to Dutchess County, New York. His father, Thomas, is said to have moved there sometime after 1878, which would have been before the end of the War when Jeffrey was still a youngster. Some records claim that Jeffreys twins, George and Ellis, were born in Rhode Island, which would mean he was still there in 1802. Other records say they were born in Rhinebeck, New York, where they family settled and lived out their days. That suggests he could have moved to New York many years earlier."</p><br>
<p>Jeffrey Hazard was about 23 years old when he married Delight Wilbour (Wilbur or Wilbor). Again, records conflict about whether Delight and her younger sister Prudence were born in Rhode Island or Dutchess County. Delight died in 1795, the year after the marriage. It is possible her death was related to childbirth. The following year, Jeffrey married her sister Prudence.</p><br>
<p>Jeffrey and Prudences first baby was a boy, named Hazard. He fathered nine children and lived to age 72. When Hazard was 2½, a baby sister was born, named Delight, presumably after Prudences late sister. Three and a half years later, in November 1802, twins George and Allis joined the family. A brother John was born in 1808.</p><br>
<p>The following account comes from Bob Champlin: "Jeffrey became a wealthy man in Rhinebeck and was made a Trustee of the Rhinebeck Methodist Church on June 2, 1829... In the late 1700s, built an estate referred to over the years first as the Old Homestead and later as The Maples. The property was located along the Old Post Road north of the village and consisted of 135 to 150 acres plus the mansion. Jeffrey sold it to Mr. Upton, who in turn sold it to Henry Welcher, who sold it to John van Wagner, who sold it to John Woods, who sold it to John Wilbour Champlin (son of Jeffrey). The property then passed from the Champlins hands for good when John sold it to Griffen Hoffman. He sold the land to Mr. Ingalls, who later sold it back to him. Hoffman then sold the property to Astor. At some point, between Astors death and Lorenzo Decker&#39;s death, the property was sold to Decker, who died there on September 28, 1900.</p><br>
<p>When the five Hazard children reached adulthood Hazard married Mary Ann Plass, and George married Susan Underwood. Both Delight and Allis married men whose last names were Champlin. John married Jane Van Allen and later bought back the family estate.</p><br>
<p>Political journalist Richard Rovere owned The Maples and raised his family there. He wrote his monthly New Yorker column there from 1944 until his death.</p><br>

<p>The Shady Grove School is a historic school building on Arkansas Highway 94 near Pea Ridge, Arkansas. It is a single-story wood-frame structure, with a hip roof and a concrete foundation. A gable-roofed cupola provides ventilation to the roof, which is also pierced by a brick chimney. The main facade consists of a double door flanked by sash windows, and the long sides of the building have banks of sash windows. Built c. 1922, the building is a well-preserved representative of a period school building.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.</p><br>
<p>John A. Rowland House in the City of Industry, California, was built in 1855. It was the home of pioneer John A. Rowland, a member of the Workman-Rowland party and co-leader of the first American group of settlers to reach Southern California in 1841. John A. Rowland built this home for his second wife, Charlotte M. Gray.</p><br>
<p>The John Rowland House is noteworthy for being the oldest surviving brick structure in Southern California. Built in 1855, it features Greek Revival Architecture, chosen by John Rowland. Victoria, his daughter from his second marriage, inherited the home and married Capt. John W. Hudson in 1879. Their daughter inherited the property and, in 1920, married William Dibble of Oakwell Rancho in Covina. The house underwent numerous improvements in the 2000s and 2010s, due to earthquake damage.</p><br>
<p>The property was added to the National Register of Historic Places by the National Park Service - United States Department of the Interior in 1973.</p><br>
<h2>Public access</h2><br>
<p>The John A. Rowland House is maintained by the (LPVHS). Due to ongoing restoration efforts, the house and adjacent property were closed to the public for multiple years.</p><br>
<h2>Re-opened as the John Rowland Mansion</h2><br>
<p>On July 20, 2024 the John A. Rowland House, now referred to as the John Rowland Mansion, re-opened to the public. In partnership with the alternative preservation agency, the historic site debuted 11 new site-specific artworks by David Horvitz, Emily Barker, and Evan Curtis Charles Hall, to compliment the property&#39;s permanent Rowland family exhibition.</p><br>
<p>The John Rowland Mansion received revitalization support from Los Angeles County Supervisor Hilda. L Solis, First District, Mayor of City of Industry, Cory C. Moss, and Penn Club LA.</p><br>
<p>In an interview with the San Gabriel Valley Tribune, Amy Rowland, president of the La Puente Valley Historical Society and 6th generation Rowland stated: “I want to preserve our Rowland heritage and La Puente’s history. It’s a unique connection to Southern California and deserves restoration and attention. People need to know how the community came to be and what life was like before California became a state.”</p><br>
<p>The historic site is now open to the public with limited visiting hours.</p><br>
<p>The Lyceum is a historic museum and event space in Alexandria, Virginia. Built in 1839 on the initiative of Quaker schoolmaster Benjamin Hallowell, it has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since May 27, 1969, the year of its purchase by the city.</p><br>
<p>Constructed in the then-popular Greek Revival style from bricks recycled from the original St. Mary chapel, it originally was intended as a permanent home for scholarly activities. It hosted both the Alexandria Lyceum (which featured speakers including John Quincy Adams) and the Alexandria Library. During the American Civil War, it served as a hospital. After the war, the Lyceum was dissolved and John Bathurst Daingerfield bought the building for his daughter Mary Helen and her husband, Philip Hooe, who was a descendant of the towns first mayor, merchant Robert Townshend Hooe. It later served as an office building, so virtually none of the original woodwork remains. During the New Deal it was recognized by the Historic American Buildings Survey (HABS). In 1937, a separate building was constructed about four blocks north (on the site of the former Quaker graveyard) to house the growing citys library, which was the scene of a sit-in in 1942 and now is one of several branches.</p><br>
<p>Today the Lyceum, whose two-story Doric portico fronts Washington Street (an urban section of the George Washington Memorial Parkway), is a visitor center and museum in its own right (complete with gift shop). It also again hosts various scholarly and cultural events and lectures, as well as administrative offices of the Office of Historic Alexandria. That department of the citys government is charged with conserving, interpreting and promoting this and seven other relatively small museums which bring the citys varied history to life. The Office of Historic Alexandria is accredited by the American Alliance of Museums and is a member of the International Coalition of Sites of Conscience.</p><br>

<p>Lapakahi State Historical Park is a large area of ruins from an Ancient Hawaiian fishing village in the North Kohala District on the Big Island of Hawaii. Offshore is the Lapakahi Marine Life Conservation District.</p><br>
<p>The name lapa kahi means "single ridge" in the Hawaiian Language, and applied to the ahupuaa, an ancient land division that ran from the sea up to Kohala Mountain. It is located off of Akoni Pule Highway (Route 270), 12.4 mi north of Kawaihae, Hawaii. It is state archaeological site 10-02-2245, and was added to the National Register of Historic Places on July 2, 1973, as site 73000654.

<p>Lewis Jones House, in Centerville, Indiana, also known as The Stephen and Betty Jones House, is a historic farmhouse in Centerville, Indiana, in the United States. It was built in 1840. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.</p><br>
<h2>Lewis Jones</h2><br>
<p>Lewis Jones moved to Center Township, Wayne County, Indiana with his parents in 1814. In April 1822, he traveled from Centerville, to Cincinnati, Ohio, to Indianapolis, Indiana making the first mail delivery from Centerville to the state capital. Jones was a farmer, raising fruit, and was a founding member of the Wayne County Horticultural Society, which preceded the Indiana Horticultural Society by three years. Jones died in 1877. His family is buried in Crown Hill Cemetery in Centerville. After Jones&#39; death, the home was owned by the Dunbar family, who were involved in the early lumber business in Centerville.</p><br>
<h2>Design</h2><br>
<p>Architecturally, the farmhouse is a "good example of an early Center Township farmhouse and of a style that is typical of its time in Wayne County," according to the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>The house is designed in the Federal architecture style. There are three parts to the house: the main part, the gable roof wing, and the story frame. The main part is stories high with a "common bond brick building with a five-bay facade and a side gable roof." The gable roof wing connects to the main part from the west side. It was originally built as a kitchen. The story frame extends from the east side of the main part. It was built in 1955 and remodeled in 1974–78.</p><br>
<p>The main entrance to the house is located in the main part, in the middle lower part of the front facade. The main part has the majority of original parts from the 1840 house. It has the original four-panel wood door, a four-light transom, a smooth stone sill plate and a lintel. The windows are double hung and have 12 plates in each section, as well as sills and lintels. It has a chimney on each side of the house. The exterior has a molded cornice and a frieze. The roof is made of slate and it is believed that the roof slate was replaced in 1860. The walls of the main part have a small square attic vent on each side.</p><br>
<p>The interior of the main part has two rooms on the first floor and two on the second. The rooms on the west side are larger than the rooms on the east side. Each of the four rooms has a fireplace. In the western room on the first floor, cupboards flank the fireplace. In the opposite room is a staircase which ascends into a bedroom above.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The house was submitted for consideration for listing on the National Register of Historic Places by Stephen and Betty Jones, the owners of the house, in 1981.</p><br>
<p>The Clark County Courthouse is located at Courthouse Square  in Arkadelphia, Arkansas, the seat of Clark County. It is a -story Romanesque stone structure which was designed by Charles Thompson and completed in 1899. It is a basically rectangular structure with a hip roof, and a six-story tower rising from the northwest corner. It has a hip roof from which numerous hipped gables project, and there are corner turrets with conical roofs. It is the county&#39;s second courthouse.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.</p><br>
<p>The Merritt House is a historic house at 139 North Broadview in Greenbrier, Arkansas. It is a single story wood-frame structure, finished with a masonry veneer, with an irregular plan featuring a variety of roof gables. The exterior is finished in sandstone with cream-colored brick trim. The main entrance is set under a deep front porch, whose front has a broad flat-topped arch, with a gable above that has a louver framed in brick. The house was built by Silas Owen, Sr., a local master mason, in 1948 for Billy Merritt. It was built using in part stone from a house built by Owen for Merritt&#39;s father, which had recently been torn down.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2005.</p><br>
<p>Lincoln School is a historic school building in Huntsville, Alabama. Built in 1929 as part of the Lincoln Mill Village, the school became part of the city school system in the 1950s. The city sold the building to a private school in 2011. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Lincoln School was built in 1929 by the owners of the Lincoln textile mill to serve the children of the mill village. The mill opened in 1900 and was purchased in 1918 by William Lincoln Barrell. The first school in the village was a five-teacher school completed in 1923. As the mill grew, the school was expanded in 1925. By 1929, the first school was overcrowded again, and a larger, three-story structure was completed at a cost of $60,000.</p><br>
<p>Although the mill owned the school, the Madison County Board of Education provided teachers and administration. When it opened, the school had grades 1 through 9, adding grades until the first twelfth grade class graduated in 1935. In the mid-1950s, the mill had closed and the village was annexed into the city limits. High school and middle school students were reassigned to other schools in the city school system, and Lincoln continued to operate as an elementary school until 2010.</p><br>
<p>Despite its lower-class student body, Lincoln Elementary was one of the highest-performing schools in the state, winning state and national recognition. Huntsville City Schools also used Lincoln to train teachers at other schools. The building was sold in 2011, and a private, church-backed school, Lincoln Academy, began operating the following year.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The building is three stories, with a partially sunken first story, and constructed of cast reinforced concrete. The style is similar to that of the main mill buildings, but with Beaux-Arts details. The front and rear of the building have large, multi-pane windows separated by thick concrete columns. Its oversized structural elements led the maintenance staff to say that the building "could probably be rolled end-over-end without hurting it much." The central portion of the façade is raised 6 ft to add visual emphasis and provide a higher ceiling for the third-floor auditorium. The roofline terminates with a stepped parapet. The center section is flanked by two second-floor entry porticos, each supported by four Tuscan columns. Each floor has a central hallway with classrooms on either side, with restrooms on the ends. The third floor has a large auditorium in the middle with original incandescent lights, that has been converted into a library.</p><br>
<p>Lincoln School in Canton, Missouri is a former school for the African-American children of Canton and surrounding areas of Lewis County, Missouri. Built in 1880, it served the community until 1955 when it closed in the aftermath of the landmark Brown v. Board of Education ruling by the USA Supreme Court. The school was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983. Currently only the exterior is available for public viewing.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The education of African-American children in the Canton area dates to 1866 when the former post office was converted into classrooms. Students in grades one through eight were the primary focus, but some adults also attended. The school only lasted one year, however, as the Canton Board of Education could no longer afford the five dollar monthly rental on the building nor the fifty dollar per month salary of S.S. Sellers, the schools first teacher. A second effort was made in 1868 in a different location and a lower teacher salary. By 1870 the school had taken up residence in Cantons African Methodist Episcopal (AME) church. In an effort to provide at least some education opportunity to former slaves, adults were again allowed to attend provided they pay a dollar per month tuition.</p><br>
<p>The construction of a new school for Cantons white students in 1871 pointed out the glaring contrast in quality of educational facilities and caused resentment in the towns African-American community.</p><br>
<p>Bids were requested soon after the election, with the winning bid of $700 by J.S. Eaton being accepted. The finished structure was 42 feet by 24 feet, constructed of red brick walls 13 in thick, set on a foundation of limestone blocks in ashlar. Outside ornamentation was limited, with a wooden floor interior. Due to repeated flooding by the nearby Mississippi River, the wooden floor became unusable and was later replaced with concrete. The school was constructed on land originally set aside as a public park. Indeed, today the surrounding area is known as Martin Park. Lincoln School&#39;s first teacher was M.L. Clay, hired at a salary of $35 per month. In addition to educating children during the day, at his own expense Clay taught night classes for adult African-Americans.</p><br>
<p>Teacher turnover was high throughout the history of Lincoln School, the exception being the schools first teacher of African-American race, Charles W. Lear. Mr. Lear taught for thirty-two of the schools seventy-five years of existence.</p><br>
<p>After 1955, the Lincoln School was used as a storage facility by the Canton R-5 school district and fell into a state of considerable disrepair. That began to change after its inclusion on the National Register of Historic Places on February 10, 1983, and further after the district donated the school to the City of Canton in 1995. In recent years a non-profit community group, Lincoln School Restoration Association, has taken over management and restoration efforts at the school. A commemorative plaque now adorns the exterior and an interpretive sign in front provides a brief history of the school. No public access is available at this time due to ongoing restoration. In popular culture, Lincoln School was the basis for the fictional Douglass School of Nutbush, Missouri in author Eleanora Tates series of childrens stories. Ms. Tate, a Canton native, attended first grade at Lincoln School in its final year of operation.</p><br>
<p>The former First Church of Christ Scientist, is an historic Christian Science church building located at 315 Wisconsin Avenue, Madison, Wisconsin, United States. Built in 1929, it was designed in the Classical Revival-style by noted Madison architect Frank M. Riley. In 1982 the building was added to the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>Mary Baker Eddy organized the first Christian Scientist congregation in Boston in 1879. Members of the sect began to organize in Madison about five years later, in the mid 1880s. They initially met informally in members homes, but in 1895 they formally organized and began to meet in the Gates of Heaven Synagogue on West Washington. With more growth, the congregation shifted meetings to the Womens Building.</p><br>
<p>In 1912 the congregation bought the lot where the church now stands. It was the former home of Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice J.H. Carpenter, and they started a reading room in his house. In 1918 a group broke off from the congregation and formed Second Church of Christ Scientist in Madison, meeting at 263 Langdon Street, but in 1927 they merged back together. In 1929 the reunited congregation finally built the church at 315 Wisconsin - the subject of this article. Many of Madison&#39;s historic churches were on the same avenue, before lack of parking forced them to other locations.</p><br>
<p>They hired Frank Morris Riley, a prominent Madison architect who had designed the governors mansion in 1920. For the Christian Scientists he designed a Neoclassical structure with a graceful dome on four Doric columns over the front entry. (Christian Science churches built at that time often looked like Roman temples.) A paper at the time described the new building:...the church on Wisconsin Avenue built with dignified simplicity and grace along the lines of Georgian architecture... Built to accommodate 850 people, the most imposing edifice is equipped with opera-like seats in walnut brown to blend with the speakers pulpit. There is a large Sunday School room on the lower floor and a reading room on the second floor. Large stone pillars quarried in one place, the only kind in the city, grace the entrance lending an attractive colonial atmosphere. Red brick and limestone constitute the exterior construction, while the interior walls are decorated in a cream color finish. The floor is of terrazzo.</p><br>
<p>The NRHP nomination observes, "The design of the interior conveys a feeling of serenity by its almost Puritan simplicity." The reading room&#39;s ceiling was the inside of the front dome, with a Georgian fireplace and French doors.</p><br>
<p>In 1982 the building was added to the NRHP as one of the finest church designs in Madison and as a major work of Frank Riley, one of Madisons major architects of the first half of the 20th century. The building is now occupied by Hiebing, a marketing and advertising agency. First Church of Christ, Scientists congregation now holds services at 610 South Segoe Road.</p><br>
<p>Daviess County Courthouse is a historic courthouse located at Gallatin, Daviess County, Missouri. It was designed by P. H. Weathers and built in 1907–1908. It is a three-story, Renaissance Revival style, cross-plan building of smooth stone. It is topped with a low cross-gable roof with a wooden bell-shaped clock tower in the center.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.</p><br>
<p>DeKalb County Courthouse is a historic courthouse located in Maysville, DeKalb County, Missouri. It was designed by George R. Eckel of Eckel & Aldrich and built in 1939. It is a low red brick building with concrete bands and Moderne style details. It consists of a three-story main block with two-story flanking wings. The building measures 110 feet by 55 feet.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.</p><br>
<p>Worth County Courthouse in Northwood, Iowa was built in 1893 in a Romanesque style. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places  in 1981. It was constructed in brick and features a small tower. The building was enlarged and remodeled in 1938.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The first courthouse was built in 1879 with a contributed total of $5,075 with construction finishing in 1880. Before the courthouse was finished, it was agreed that the land upon which the courthouse was built could be subdivided among the people who participated in the erection of the courthouse if the land went back to the original owners and that the only way that the courthouse can be moved is if there is a written majority consensus from the contributors to move it. The first courthouse was made out of bricks and was considered plain and only $4,400 of the contributed sum was used to build it.</p><br>
<h2>Current courthouse</h2><br>
<p>Built following an election which resulted in Northwood remaining the county seat and completed in 1893, the current courthouse is made out of brick and has a base made out of limestone. It includes a small tower with no clock, however, it once included a taller roof and sharply-pointed gablets. Out of the donated $5,000 only $4,594 was used to build the courthouse. The first tower was replaced and the entire courthouse renovated in 1938. A Civil War cannon is on the grounds of the courthouse that was erected by the Worth County Sesquicentennial Commission in 1996. The carriage of the cannon was manufactured at the Northwood Foundry while the rest of the cannon was manufactured at the Fort Pitt Foundry. The cannon is an 1861 columbiad. The cannon used to be located on the north bank of Shell Rock River. An expansion of the courthouse in 1990 included new offices, a new jail, and a conference room. The significance of the courthouse is derived from its association with county government, and the political power and prestige of Northwood as the county seat.</p><br>
<p>St. Mary&#39;s Catholic Church is a historic Catholic parish church in the city of Delaware, Ohio, United States. Constructed in the 1880s, this grand building is home to a congregation established in the middle of the nineteenth century. Its grand style has long made it a community landmark, and it was named a historic landmark in 1980.</p><br>
<h2>Parish history</h2><br>
<p>Delawares first Masses were celebrated by travelling priests in the homes of the citys few Catholics, most of whom were Irish or German immigrants. The first of these was likely said in 1835 by a French missionary priest in the home of Adam Mueller on Park Avenue. The members built the first St. Mary&#39;s Church, a small plain frame building that was a mission church of Holy Cross Church in 1854, and were ministered to by traveling priests including future bishops Caspar Borgess and Edward Fitzgerald.</p><br>
<p>However, six years passed before Archbishop Purcell appointed the first priest to serve as the pastor on December 1, 1856. This man, Casper Wiese, quickly founded a parish school and bought a piece of land for use as a parish cemetery. A series of short-tenured pastorates followed Wieses four-year time; the longest, that of Henry Fehlings, ended during the process of regional reorganization following the creation of the Diocese of Columbus. Fehlings pastorate saw the parish expand outward from its small frame building: a brick addition to the church was constructed in 1865, a nearby store was purchased and converted into premises for the parish school, and a nearby house was purchased and converted into a rectory. By 1880, the parish had reached a membership of approximately seven hundred. In 1886, the present house of worship, made of brick trimmed with sandstone and ornamental terra-cotta began to be constructed on William Street near downtown. The cornerstone was laid in 1887 and the church was solemnly blessed by bishop John Watterson in October of 1888.</p><br>
<p>Today, St. Mary&#39;s remains an active component of the Diocese of Columbus. It is one of three parishes in Delaware County, along with St. Joan of Arc in Powell and St. John Neumann in Sunbury.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>St. Mary&#39;s is a brick structure supported on a foundation of limestone and covered with a slate roof. Designed by Adolphus Druiding, the building is a Gothic Revival structure dominated by a pair of towers on the facade. The towers sit on either side of the gabled main portion of the building; the tower on the right, as seen by a person facing the building, is substantially taller than the tower on the left. Six ogive windows pierce the side, one per bay, while individual and paired windows are placed on various heights in the towers; clocks are set in the taller tower, and both are topped with tall spires that can be seen throughout Delaware. Extensive and ornate detailing is present, including numerous wood carvings, elaborate stained glass in the windows, and decorative placement of bricks. Inside, columns separate the nave from the side aisles, and the two altars are built of wood that has been both painted and carven. The extensive artisanship of the church makes it differ greatly from the rectory; although three stories tall and built of brick, it is far plainer than the church.</p><br>
<h2>Historic site</h2><br>
<p>In 1980, St. Mary&#39;s Church and its rectory were listed together on the National Register of Historic Places, qualifying because of their historically significant architecture. They together comprise one of seventeen National Register-listed locations in the city of Delaware, along with places such as the Delaware County Courthouse downtown and Selby Field on the Ohio Wesleyan University campus.</p><br>
