<p>The Perry Street Historic District encompasses a fine collection of early-20th century architecture in Helena–West Helena, Arkansas. It includes fifteen buildings, arrayed on the single city blocks stretching south and west from the junction of Perry and Pecan Streets. The buildings on these blocks represent a cross-section of private and public architecture spanning 1880–1930, including two churches, the only synagogue in Phillips County , and the county&#39;s oldest public building, the 1879 Helena Library and Museum. Most of the residences in the district were built between 1900 and the 1920s. Although most of the residential architecture is Arts and Crafts in style, it includes two fine Queen Anne Victorians: the Moore House at 608 Perry  and the William Nicholas Straub House at 531 Perry .</p><br>
<p>The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) in 1986.</p><br>
<p>Birge-Horton House is a historic home located at Buffalo in Erie County, New York. It was designed in 1895 by the Buffalo architectural firm of Green and Wicks and is a Georgian Revival style row house in "The Midway" section of Delaware Avenue. It is a four-story brick house with stone trim. The house is situated within the boundaries of the Allentown Historic District.</p><br>
<p>The Birge-Horton House was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004.</p><br>
<h2>History & Design</h2><br>
<p>Delaware Avenue, in the early 19th century, was the principal residential street in Buffalo and consisted of many freestanding mansions and clubs in addition to these row houses. The site chosen for these homes was referred to as "the Midway " since it was located halfway between Niagara Square (city center) and Forest Lawn Cemetery.</p><br>
<p>The Birge-Horton House, an outstanding example of a Georgian Revival row house, was designed by preeminent Buffalo architects E. B. Green and W. S. Wicks for Henry and Fanny Birge. Mr. Birge was a partner in the Birge Wallpaper Co. The Birge-Horton House is four stories high, three bays wide, and constructed of brick with stone trim. On the exterior, each floor of the home is distinguished by various architectural features. Superior craftsmanship is evident throughout the building. The interior design is exquisite. A grand staircase rising four stories, six marble fireplaces, leaded lay lights, and leaded windows are just a few of its beautiful features. Today, it is the only home in the row that remains as it was built so long ago.</p><br>
<p>The Birge-Horton House was the last of the thirteen luxury row houses built from 1893 to 1895. These four-story houses were unique in Buffalo. Although each house in the row is the work of various architects and of different designs, they give an overall appearance of unified composition because of similarities in height, width, and construction materials.</p><br>
<p>In 1906, Katharine Pratt Horton took up residence, renting the property until 1920 when she purchased the house from Fanny Birge. It remained her residence until her death in 1931. At that time, the Buffalo Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution inherited the home. Since then the Katharine Pratt Horton, Buffalo chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution has maintained the house much the way it was when Mrs. Horton lived in it.</p><br>

In 1877, while Dorsheimer was Lieutenant Governor of New York, Richardson was commissioned, along with Frederick Law Olmsted and Leopold Eidlitz, to complete the New York State Capitol and later, Albany City Hall.</p><br>
<p>Also in Buffalo, Richardson designed the Buffalo State Hospital (in 1870), and the William Gratwick House (1886-1888). The Gratwick House was a few blocks north of the Dorsheimer House, at the corner of Delaware and Summer, but was torn down in 1919.</p><br>

<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In the spring of 1845, a slave gathered enough courage to ask his master to allow him to form a church for the slaves to worship. This was a bold move, because slaves were thought of as chattel, and were bought and sold at will. The slave name was Rev. Wilson Brown.</p><br>
<p>Rev. Brown with the help of his master Major Fields, and a white Baptist minister, on the first Thursday night in April 1845, established the First Negro Baptist Church. Although they didn&#39;t have a building in which they could meet for services. So all gathered on May 2, 1847, and assemble what is called a brush arbor. The location was Tenth and Spring Street in Little Rock, Arkansas. God blessed the congregation to grow and gave them another miracle, a new building on the corner of Seventh and Gaines Street. This is still the site of the church today.</p><br>

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978 and its borders were increased in 1988 and again in 2002. The district is notable for the large number of well-preserved late 19th and early 20th-century houses, and includes a major cross-section of residential architecture designed by the noted Little Rock architect Charles L. Thompson. It is the oldest city neighborhood to retain its residential character.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The district is located south of Little Rocks central business district, in an area that was, until 1869, a country estate. The area was heavily developed between 1880 and 1940. It includes a number of high quality Queen Anne Victorians, including the Hornibrook House, a particularly fine example of the style in brick. One of the citys finest examples of Colonial Revival architecture, the Hotze House, stands at 1619 S. Louisiana Street. The Craftsman style is the best represented of the period styles in the district, with more than 92 houses, most two-story brick structures built in a modest scale. The district includes five historically significant churches, out of ten within its bounds.</p><br>
<p>When the district was first listed in 1978, the district covered a 65 acre area bounded by the Arkansas Governor&#39;s Mansion grounds, 13th, Center, Gaines, and 18th Streets. However, there was concern over the scope of this listing, and the city later performed a detailed survey of a much larger area. This resulted in a significant expansion of the district in 1988, adding 224.5 acre and including 473 contributing buildings, roughly bounded by Louisiana St., Twenty-Third St. & Roosevelt Rd., Chester and State Sts., & Thirteenth & Twelfth Sts. It has since had smaller amendments and enlargements in 1993, 1996, 1999, and 2002. The 2002 increase added 12 contributing buildings in a 4.8 acre area located roughly along Louisiana Ave., from W. 23rd St. and 24th St.</p><br>

<p>The Argenta Historic District encompasses significant historic elements of central North Little Rock, Arkansas. The area that is now central North Little Rock was known as Argenta when it was first settled, and remained unincorporated until it was annexed to Little Rock in 1890. William Faucette, a leading Argenta politician and businessman, orchestrated the incorporation of North Little Rock just beyond the annexed area in 1901, and then made a successful petition to separate Argenta from Little Rock into the new municipality in 1903. Subsequent attempts to rename North Little Rock to Argenta have failed.</p><br>
<p>The district consists of two discontinuous areas, one commercial and the other residential. The commercial section consists of a three-block stretch of Main Street, between Broadway Street and 6th Street. Three blocks west of this area is the residential area, which is centered on a stretch of Willow Street from 4th to Melrose Circle, that also includes properties on adjoining blocks of cross streets in between. The district was first listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1993. In 2002 it was amended to change the status of five buildings to contributing status, as they had undergone appropriate historic restoration work.</p><br>
<p>The commercial section of the district was primarily developed between 1900 and 1940, and includes 18 historically significant buildings, including six that are separately listed on the National Register: North Little Rock City Hall, the former North Little Rock Post Office (now the Argenta Branch Library), the Faucette Building, and the Old Central Fire Station are among them. The residential section includes 177 buildings in total, of which 77 were initially deemed historically significant, including the separately-listed Baker House and Barth-Hempfling House. Many of the non-contributing properties are of an appropriate age, and were only excluded because of the application of inappropriate exterior siding materials and other reversible or restorable alterations. The majority of residential buildings are Craftsman in style, although there are large numbers of vernacular versions of the Colonial Revival present as well.</p><br>

<p>The Hull House has scheduled Open House days during the spring, summer, and fall. An appointment can be made at the website, hullfamilyhome.org, for a group tour.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Over 200 years ago, Warren and Polly Hull traveled west from Killingworth, Connecticut through New York State. They settled, temporarily, in four different counties in New York State until eventually deciding to settle and build their permanent home on what is now known as Genesee Street. That road terminated in the east at what was then known as the Batavia Road. The land for their home and farm was purchased from the Holland Land Company and was then in the Town of Clarence, and what is now in the Town of Lancaster, which was established in 1831.</p><br>
<p>The Home was built around 1810 and was one of a few stone homes in the area as a majority were made of wood. One example in the Gipple Cabin which is one of the oldest wooden cabins in the area and is currently on the property after being moved in 2013. The property went through many owners and was only owned by the Hull family until the mid to late 1800s. It went through many owners most notably the Wolfs and the Petersons. During the 1950s while owned by Frank Wolf, much of the property was lost due to the construction of the New York Thruway which cut the property in half. However, much of the property had been sold off in the past as well. Beginning in the late 1900s, the property began its major deterioration due to frequent yard sales and use of the property as a sort of junk yard by Mr. Peterson.</p><br>
<p>When the Hull Family Home Foundation began its work in 1992, the property was full of junk and much of the house and barn was deteriorating. However, due to their hard work, the home began to return and now can be visited as a historical site. In the future, the foundation plans on rebuilding the property into an early 19th-century farmstead with outhouses, etc.</p><br>
<h2>The Hull Family</h2><br>
<p>Warren Hull (1762–1838) married Polly Gillett (1765–1834) in 1783 in Killingworth, Connecticut. Prior to his marriage, Warren served in the Revolutionary War with his father, Peter. Before settling in Western New York, Warren and Polly lived in Otsego County, Madison County, Ontario County, and Livingston County. Their family grew as they moved westward; when they purchased their property from the Holland Land Company in 1804, they already had ten children.</p><br>
<p>It is difficult to imagine how this family survived in this virtual wilderness in 1804. Warren and Polly appear to have been intelligent and well-educated, and they were obviously able to take advantage of whatever resources were available to them. They worked their farm and were able to take grain and wood to nearby mills. It is safe to assume that Polly taught her children until the nearest schoolhouse was built on the corner of Gunnville Road.</p><br>
<p>After the death of Warren and Polly, their daughter Polly Hull Lewis lived in the family home; she had six children and had been widowed in 1830. Rebecca married a man named William Tyler, who bought land adjoining the Hull property. James married Betsy Crosby, and they settled in Fredonia/Chautauqua area with their five children where he was a newspaper publisher.

<p>The Hugus Hardware store, now known as Shively Hardware, is a significant commercial presence in downtown Saratoga, Wyoming. The establishment consists of two buildings. The original one-story portion was built in 1888, while the two-story section was built in 1889. Both are wood-frame structures.</p><br>
<p>The first building is a gable-roofed frame structure, sided with clapboards and roofed with corrugated metal. A plain false front covers the gable end, which is at right angles to the two-story section. A shed-roofed overhang continues down the side elevation to the 1889 building. The 1889 building has display windows flanked by iron pilasters. Siding is embossed metal in a brick pattern. The otherwise plain facade is capped by a bracketed and dentiled cornice, hiding a plain single-sloped roof.</p><br>
<p>The store was built by Wilbur B. Hugus, operator of a store at Fort Steele. Hugus building housed a general store, a saloon and the Saratoga State Bank. The store was bought by the Cosgriff Brothers in 1899, expanding to the west with more frame construction due to a scarcity of bricks. The bank was located in this addition, and its safe remains in use. The store was bought by William Tilton about 1915, who sold the store in 1925 to his employee, Edward Shively, after Tilton had to cover his sons gambling debts. The Shively family has continued to manage the store.</p><br>
<p>The store was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.</p><br>
<p>The Hyland Hotel in Monticello, Utah, also known as the Wood/Summers House, was built between 1916 and 1918 by Joseph Henry Wood as a single-family residence. In 1924 the bungalow was adapted for use as a hotel with the conversion of the house&#39;s four upstairs bedrooms to nine guest rooms.</p><br>
<p>The foundation and first floor of the two story Craftsman Style house are of local sandstone from South Creek near the Abajo Mountains, while the upper level is wood frame with shingle siding. The house features the characteristic wide porches, deep eaves and shallow roof pitch associated with the Craftsman style. The house retains its original first floor arrangement with two parlors, a small office at the front entrance, a bedroom and a kitchen. The interior retains its dark-stained California fir woodwork. Three bathrooms were added to the original two with the house&#39;s conversion. The property originally included barns, sheds, a dairy, an ice house, orchard and garden, all no longer extant.</p><br>
<p>In 1924 the house was purchased by Fletcher Hammond, moving his wife and seven children into the house and remodeling the upstairs. Hammond sold the house in 1933 to his son-in-law, Jack Nielson, who operated the hotel and dairy. Nielson sold the property in 1936 to Kenneth and Elizabeth Summers. The Summers operated the hotel until 1974.</p><br>
<p>The Hyland Hotel was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1994.</p><br>
<p>Senior Hall is a historic building on the University of California, Berkeley campus, in Berkeley, California. The rustic log cabin structure was designed by architect John Galen Howard. The building was proposed in 1903 and dedicated in 1906. It was originally used as the university&#39;s student union and run by the senior male students. A senior honor society called the Order of the Golden Bear was largely responsible for building the hall, and it held secret meetings at the hall after its construction. According to the Daily Californian, Senior Hall was largely responsible for student self-governance at Berkeley, as the hall gave seniors a place to meet and discuss campus issues. A new student union replaced the hall in 1923, but the Order of the Golden Bear continues to meet there.</p><br>
<p>Senior Hall was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.</p><br>
<p>Bonner House is a historic home located at Bath, Beaufort County, North Carolina. It was built about 1835, and is a two-story frame dwelling with a one-story wing and rear shed addition. It sits on a brick pier foundation and has a side-hall plan. It is on land once owned by John Lawson , explorer and founder of Bath.</p><br>
<p>It is a contributing property in the NRHP-listed Bath Historic District, also known as Historic Bath, and is now an 1830s period historic house museum. The mid-18th century period Palmer-Marsh House can also be toured.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) in 1970.</p><br>
<p>The James Sheeley House is an Italianate building in Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin, United States. Originally used as a boarding house, it is currently a restaurant.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The history of the site began before the American Civil War when the first buildings were erected. In 1868 Carl Hering purchased the property and moved his family into the small house on River Street. Herings carriage and blacksmith shop was located behind the house, facing Pine Street. John B. Paul, who operated a boarding house one block west of the Sheeley House, purchased the Hering property in 1884. He removed the small carriage shop and surfaced the entire building with local red brick. The Paul House had a ground floor saloon, first floor living quarters, a large kitchen, the boarders dining room and second floor sleeping rooms.</p><br>
<p>James Sheeley, an Irish immigrant, stayed at the Paul House while working on the railroad from Wabasha, Minnesota to Chippewa Falls. In 1905 he and his wife, Kate, bought the property. James tended the bar; Kate and their children, Anna, William, and Howard, prepared meals and maintained the rooms. When James died in 1913, Kate continued to serve meals and rent rooms, but leased the saloon operation. Before the saloon closed in 1967, Frank "Frenchy" LaCour had tapped the "coldest beer in town" for 28 years. After Kate&#39;s death in 1934, Anna Sheeley no longer served food, but continued to rent rooms to boarders. By 1981 it was necessary for Anna Sheeley to leave her home of 76 years.</p><br>
<p>In 1981, although this once handsome building was greatly in need of repair and its purpose was obsolete, the Sheeley House was structurally sound. David and Sharon Raihle were able to visualize the restoration and save one of the last boarding houses in the Chippewa Valley. Using information and pictures from the Sheeley family, it was possible to determine the appearance of the original interior and exterior of the building. Meticulous care was taken to not only preserve the old, but to retain the function of the Sheeley House Restaurant and Saloon. Current owner Jim Bloms purchased the Sheeley House on August 23, 2001. Per local news in November 2013 and quoting the Sheeley house web site "The James Sheeley House will be closing its doors November 30th pending a change in ownership. All gift certificates must be redeemed by that date."</p><br>
<p>The Sheeley House Saloon was purchased April 1, 2016 by Jes and Brian Jensen.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The current Sheeley House began taking shape after the property was purchased by John B. Paul in 1884, who surfaced the building with local red brick. Extensive renovations began in 1981, restoring the original interior and exterior of the building from old photographs, duplicating new trim from existing samples, and a new cedar shingle roof installed. The metal ceiling and French tile floor in the bar are original. A new bar was built duplicating the bar in the Paul House Saloon picture.</p><br>
<p>The Watts De Peyster Fireman&#39;s Hall is located on Broadway in the village of Tivoli, New York. John Watts De Peyster, a resident, paid for it and gave it to the village for its fire department in 1898. It is a brick "storefront" firehouse, a type of fire station more commonly seen in cities at the time than small rural villages like Tivoli.</p><br>
<p>Since the construction of a new firehouse in 1986 it has been the village hall. In 1989 it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and three years later it also became a contributing property to the Hudson River Historic District, a National Historic Landmark.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Tivoli was incorporated as a village of the Town of Red Hook in 1872, after a period of tremendous growth due to commerce along the Hudson River. Two smaller existing settlements, Upper Red Hook Landing and Madalin, were combined in the new municipality.</p><br>
<p>As soon as the village came into existence, its government discussed the need for a new firehouse to serve the community. These discussions continued for a quarter-century, during which its commercial importance began to decline. In 1896 the Village Board passed legislation creating a fire department and calling a special election to decide how it would be financed. Two years later John Watts De Peyster, a wealthy resident of the area and village president as well as an influential authority on firefighting, saved the village the trouble by hiring local architect Michael O&#39;Connor to design a new firehouse. Once it was built, he leased it to the village.</p><br>
<p>In 1900, during a tax dispute with the village, he barred the board from meeting there. He had also threatened to close the firehouse if his estranged son, who had been elected village president, was allowed in the building. Seven years later, upon his death, the lease passed to a local orphanage he had founded. That arrangement lasted until 1921, when his descendants bought the lease from the orphanage and donated the building to the village.</p><br>
<p>Since 1986, when a new firehouse was built, the building has been the location of the Tivoli Village Offices and, as well as the Tivoli Bays Visitor Center of the Hudson River National Estuarine Research Reserve.</p><br>
<p>The Watts de Peyster Fireman&#39;s Hall was restored and renovated in 1994.</p><br>
<h2>Building</h2><br>
<p>The firehouse is a three-story building, three bays wide by four deep, on a half-acre (2,000 m) lot in downtown Tivoli. It is faced in brick laid in English bond with contrasting stone courses at the floor levels. The hipped slate roof is pierced by a dormer with gabled parapet top, four chimneys and a round turreted tower rising from the southwest corner. The roofline&#39;s cornice is broken in front by the dormer.</p><br>
<p>On the northern (front) facade, the first floor has two former garage openings, now filled with paneled wooden doors, and a regular entrance between them. The course above them consists of stone blocks with oak leaves, a traditional European symbol in heraldry for firefighters. A cornerstone gives the architect, builder and date of construction, and a marble dedication plaque memorializes Watts and de Peyster. The stone basement is visible along the side and rear elevations.</p><br>
<p>Inside, the first floor is divided into the two large bays used originally for fire engines, with plaster walls, wainscoting, pressed tin ceilings and wooden-plank floors. The second floor, used originally as meeting rooms, has similar finishing as well as thin cast iron columns in its largest room. All rooms have their original carved mantel and fireplace cover. The third floor is a single large room with two large wood braces supporting the ceiling.</p><br>
<p>There is one outbuilding, a garage built during the mid-20th century. It is not considered a contributing property.</p><br>

<p>The Lower Shell School House is located in an isolated portion of Big Horn County, Wyoming on a bluff near Shell Creek. The one-room schoolhouse was built in 1903, and was one of the first buildings in the area that did not use log construction. The school functioned as a church and Sunday school, and as a community meeting place. It was used as a school until the 1950s, and as a community meeting house until the 1970s.</p><br>
<p>The school is set in a wild landscape of greasewood overlooking the Shell Creek Valley, six miles east of Greybull and eight miles west of Shell on US 14. The one story building measures approximately 24 ft by 46 ft. The facade is executed in coursed ashlar sandstone, while the secondary elevations are in rock-faced sandstone in random coursing. The building is entered through double doors with a fixed transom above, and a "1903" datestone above the rock-faced stone lintel. The hipped roof features a wood framed bell tower. The interior was one room with wainscoting and a wood floor. The ceiling height is 11.67 ft.</p><br>
<p>The school house has been renovated as a single-family home, with commercial space in the schoolroom. A three-level wood-framed addition has been added to the rear, leaving the main school room intact.</p><br>
<p>The Lower Shell School House was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.</p><br>
<p>Mālia is a Hawaiian-style wooden racing canoe crafted by James Takeo Yamasaki. The canoe was hewn out of blonde koa wood in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii, in 1933. Its wooden hull provided the founding model for all subsequent outrigger canoeing hulls, including those later molded from fiberglass. Hawaiian racing canoeist Tommy Holmes observed that Malia "remains a prototype for contemporary racing canoes was among the first canoes built exclusively for the sport." The canoe was listed on the State and National Register of Historic Places in 1993.</p><br>
<h2>Background</h2><br>
<p>Outrigger canoe racing became popular in Hawaii during the early 1900s. Prince Jonah Kūhiō Kalaniana&#39;ole was an early aficionado and commissioned the first canoe specifically built for racing, the Aa in 1902. Despite weighing 620 lbs., it won many races. Lighter and more streamlined canoes continued to evolve in the following decades as common fishing canoe designs were adapted for racing purposes.</p><br>
<h2>Design</h2><br>
<p>Mālia, a ~40-ft., 400-lb. canoe designed by James Takeo Yamasaki, was the culmination of a design evolution in wooden racing canoes, and it established the model for outrigger racing canoes made of newer, lighter materials. The original Hawaiian name Mālie refers to the relatively calm waters of the Kona Coast on the leeward side of the Big Island, the site where the canoe was made. The Outrigger Canoe Club bought the original Mālia in 1940, and the Waikiki Surf Club acquired it in 1948, keeping it in use until 1988.</p><br>
<p>From 1950-1951, the design of Malia was modified by Froiseth, Downing, and Choy. In 1959, the original Mālia won the first outrigger canoe race to Catalina Island in California. After the race, the Malia had a significant impact on the historical development of the racing canoe. According to Tommy Holmes:</p><br>
<p>An interesting sidelight of the first Catalina-to-Newport race in 1959 was the alleged pirating of a fiberglass plug of the Malia. This shell, reportedly taken without authorization while the Malia awaited shipment back to Hawaii, was later made into a mold. From this mold, and the hulls that came from it, other molds were made. The majority of the fiberglass canoes in use in Hawaii and California today have been made from these molds. Thus the Malia inadvertently sired a noble fleet of fiberglass-and-resin-canoes.</p><br>
<p>In 1960, a California-made fiberglass model of the Mālia competed in the annual paddling race across the Molokai Channel (the Molokai Hoe) to Oahu, leading to a separate division for Malia-style fiberglass canoes in 1960&ndash;78. By 1981, models of the Mālia had begun spreading to Australia, Britain, Canada, Japan, Samoa, and to the shores of the Atlantic Ocean, Gulf Coast, and Great Lakes across the United States.</p><br>
<h2>Usage and importance</h2><br>
<p>The term Malia canoe now refers to a class of Hawaiian-style outrigger canoes that follow the design of the original Mālia, even when made of fiberglass. Every serious outrigger canoe club, however, aims to acquire at least one Mālia made of koa wood and other traditional materials.</p><br>

<p>The Antioch Baptist Church in St. Louis, Missouri is a church long important in the black community of the Ville neighborhood of North St. Louis. It is located in a Gothic Revival-style brick building at 4213 N. Market St. which was built in 1921. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.</p><br>
<p>The church was established in 1878 by 12 members of the black community at a home on what was then named Wash Street in what was then Elleardsville, a suburb recently incorporated into the city. The congregation grew, and eventually acquired a site on Kennerly, built a frame church, and was incorporated in 1884.</p><br>
<p>According to the 1999 National Register nomination:The black population of the Ville grew dramatically from World War I onwards as the application of race-restrictive covenants prevented blacks from living in many other areas of north St. Louis. After purchasing the predominantly white Goode Avenue Methodist Episcopal Church in 1909 for $6,000 (located on the present site of Antioch&#39;s Educational Building), the church continued to expand. When fund raising for a new sanctuary began in 1915, the congregation had nearly 500 members. By the October 1920 cornerstone laying ceremony, the congregation had swelled to over 700 members.</p><br>
<p>The church was designed by W. B. Robinson and was built by T.J. Ward Construction Co., with final cost including the purchase price of the property and a $3,000 organ being $74,000. It is a red brick nearly square plan church "distinguished by buttresses at the corners and defining the doors and bays. Visual interest is added by slightly projecting bays at the center of both east and south elevations; their steep-pitched stepped gables, corbeled in a less pronounced imitation of the corner tower, pierce the roofline. Below, each has a large, tripartite, traceried Gothic-arched window above a tripartite flat-arched</p><br>
<p>window. The square, crenelated comer tower is topped with a corbeled blind arcade with white stone</p><br>
<p>diamond-shaped insets above. The primary entrance to the sanctuary is located in the east side of this</p><br>
<p>tower, reached via a flight of steps."</p><br>
<p>Connected to the west is a flat-roofed education building designed to be compatible. This was built in 1954-1955.</p><br>
<p>The history given in the 1999 nomination, continues:In 1948 the landmark Supreme Court decision in Shelley v. Kramer declared race-restrictive covenants illegal, and middle-class blacks began to move into areas of north St. Louis outside of the Ville. In the 1960s a number of those same middle-class families would follow the general exodus out of the city as large numbers of poor blacks displaced by urban renewal in the central east-west corridor moved into northside neighbortioods. As property values fell and overall population in the Ville declined, Antioch decided nonetheless less to remain in its historic location. The decision to stay has not hurt Antioch, however; current membership exceeds 2000 and the church is financially healthy. Antioch&#39;s three-story crenelated corner tower has become a symbol of stability in an area with a relatively high demolition rate. Most church members live outside the Ville; some according to a church deacon, live as far away as Illinois and St. Charles County, Missouri. Many are long-time members who maintained ties to the church after leaving the Ville.</p><br>
<p>The church was in good condition in 1999. It was deemed culturally significant for National Register listing for its association with the black community during segregation and beyond.</p><br>
<p>The listing was compatible with a 1998 study of historic resources in the Ville, and the study&#39;s extension in 2010.</p><br>
<p>The John Gibbs House was built in Kalamazoo, Michigan, in 1853. The house is located on the south side of Parkview Avenue next to Western Michigan University&#39;s Business Technology and Research Park in Kalamazoo, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>John Gibbs, a craftsman from New York, was born in 1796. He traveled to Michigan in 1832, and purchased this parcel of farmland from the United States federal government. He began farming, and was involved in local politics. He took part in the California Gold Rush in the 1850s, and likely constructed this house when he returned in about 1853. Gibbs and his wife Miranda lived in this home until Gibbs death in 1881. Later in the nineteenth century, the Michigan Asylum for the Insane (now the Kalamazoo Regional Psychiatric Hospital) operated a cooperative farm across the street, employing the hospitals patients. The Gibbs farm was incorporated into the hospital&#39;s farming operations.</p><br>
<p>The farm and house were transferred to the university in 1959. In 1991, the development of WMU&#39;s Business Technology and Research Park was approved, which now encompasses the majority of the property. The Gibbs House is currently used for environmental research purposes by university students.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The John Gibbs House is a two-story, five-bay, Greek Revival with a low hip roof. It sits on a foundation finished with rounded cobblestones laid in horizontal rows. The center entrance is surrounded by a sidelight-and-pilaster front entranceway. The house has simple, six-over-six windows and a denticulated entablature. It has a small front porch which may be a later addition, or an original portion with very early Italianate influences.</p><br>
<p>The Swallow&#39;s Nest, also known as the Albert Robison Lyman Study, is a small sandstone building in Blanding, Utah. It was built in 1925 by Albert Robison Lyman as a retreat for writing. Lyman used the study until 1938 as a place for contemplation, where he could write in silence without inhibiting the activities of his family in the main house.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Swallow&#39;s Nest is located on the Nicklovis Ranch, named by Albert R. Lyman for its former owner, Nicholas Lovis. The retreat was built about 350 ft from the main ranch house, which was itself built about 1914.</p><br>
<p>The one room building is built in random rubble sandstone obtained locally. The low gable roof is supported by log purlins on log columns. The door is on the north side, with single windows on the south and west sides. The interior has a rough wood floor and is finished with lime-washed mud plaster on the walls. A masonry firebox is located in the southwest corner, which may have served a wood stove. A rough built-in writing desk with bookshelves is located in the southeast corner.</p><br>
<h2>Albert Lyman</h2><br>
<p>Albert Robison Lyman, his wife Mary Ellen ("Lell") and daughter Casse were the first settlers of Blanding in 1905. Born in Fillmore, Utah in 1880, Lymans family settled in Bluff in 1880 as part of a party of Mormon settlers sent to colonize the San Juan River region of southeast Utah. The Lymans bought the Nicklovis ranch in 1912 for $770. Albert and Lell had fifteen children; six sons and nine daughters, leading to an understandable need on the part of Albert for a quiet place to pursue his writing. The cabin was designed with a metal flag that could be raised when Albert did not wish to be disturbed. Albert wrote and published "The Voice of the Intangible" during the 1925-1938 period. In 1938 the Lymans sold the property to Ray and Elizabeth Young and moved to Salt Lake City to try to preserve Lells failing health. After Lells death in 1939, Albert married her sister at Lells insistence and Albert and Gladys moved back to Blanding in 1942, where Albert continued to write about the San Juan region from their house in Blanding.</p><br>
<p>The ranch property that included the Swallow&#39;s Nest changed hands several times, finally being acquired by the town of Blanding for a park.</p><br>
<p>Through many years of neglect the west side of the Swallows Nest was caved in. In 1988 when the house was owned by Segal Realty, the family that lived on the land rebuilt the west wall and helped restore the Swallows Nest to a usable state.</p><br>
<p>The Torrey Log Church–Schoolhouse was built in Torrey, Utah in 1898 as a LDS meetinghouse and schoolhouse. The one story log structure served as the school until 1917, and as a meetinghouse until 1928.</p><br>
<p>The single story log building measures approximately 37 by. The interior is a single room with an entrance on the south side and windows on the east and west sides. The windows have pedimented heads, an unusual detail in a log structure, and show a Greek Revival influence. The shingled hip roof displays a pronounced flare at the eaves and features a bell tower over the front door. The interior space is open to the rafters and is sheathed with beaded planking. Metal tie rods prevent the walls from spreading.</p><br>
<p>The building continued to be used as a meeting place for the local Daughters of Utah Pioneers chapter until the 1970s. After an abortive project in the 1980s to renovate the building as an information station, the building was given to the DUP on the condition that it be moved off the LDS church property. It was moved in 1991 to a temporary location, with the intention of constructing a foundation and basement. It has since been fully restored.</p><br>
<p>It was a one-room schoolhouse.</p><br>
<p>Liebler—Rohl Gasoline Station is a historic filling station located at Lancaster in Erie County, New York. It is the Village of Lancasters sole example of historic 20th century roadside commercial architecture. It is in the Tudor Revival style of architecture. It operated as a gasoline station into the 1960s; currently it operates as a seasonal ice cream shop, known as Frostys.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999. It is located in the Broadway Historic District.</p><br>
<p>The Stone Jug is a historic house at the corner of NY 9G and Jug Road in Clermont, New York, United States. It dates to the mid-18th century and is largely intact, although it has been expanded somewhat since then.</p><br>
<p>It was built by Konradt Lasher, a Palatine German immigrant to the area who first farmed as a tenant of Robert Livingston. Unusually in an area where brick was the favored material, he chose stone. In the mid-19th century his descendants bought the land and built a farmhouse, now across the street. It, the stone house and several other buildings from the Lasher family farm were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978. Later, in 1992, it became a contributing property to the Hudson River Historic District, a National Historic Landmark.</p><br>
<h2>Property</h2><br>
<p>The house is part of a 9.7 acre former farm property on both sides of Route 9G. It includes another farmhouse, a barn, and the remaining foundations of two other stone houses. All are considered contributing properties to its historic character.</p><br>
<p>The Stone Jug is a -story house consisting of a main block faced mostly in stone with a gabled roof. The west gable end is in brick, as is the chimney that rises from that side. The north wing, added more recently, is of concrete block faced in fieldstone on the east and weatherboard on the north and west.</p><br>
<p>Original Dutch doors are on both entrances, at the south of the basement and east of the first story. The lintel above the east entrance has the year 1752 and "K.B.L & J." carved into it. The lower one opens into a large room with a 7 ft hearth built into the west wall. The staircase is original except for the steps. Upstairs, the main room is also mostly intact except for a small entry hall partitioned off to the east. Most of the windows are original except for the double casement on the west wall. On the top is a garret with exposed rafters.</p><br>
<p>Across Route 9G is a five-bay, -story frame farmhouse. South of Jug Road is an L-shaped frame barn. West of the house on either side of Jug are the remains of two other 18th-century stone houses. A garage on the southeast corner of the intersection is modern and non-contributing.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In the early 18th century, several thousand Palatine refugees from the War of Spanish Succession were temporarily housed in London. Britain decided in 1710 to resettle them to the lands of Robert Livingston in the Hudson Valley, lands now making up northwestern Dutchess and southwest Columbia counties. They were to work for Livingston on a scheme to produce naval stores for the crown.</p><br>
<p>The scheme failed because many of the crops required could not survive the harsh winters of the region. In 1713 Livingston released the Germans, and many settled elsewhere in the area. Their impact can be seen today in placenames like Germantown and Rhinebeck and the many Lutheran churches in the area.</p><br>
<p>One of them, Bastian Lasher, stayed on the land he had originally settled. He and his three sons were able to work it as tenant farmers, and by 1752 Konradt had built his house near his brothers George and Johannis, using stone rather than the brick more popular with the Palatinate settlers. The family kept the farm, and in 1846 Philip Lasher was able to buy an 85 acre parcel and build the frame farmhouse across the road.</p><br>
<p>In the 1950s the north wing was added. In the process of doing so the original staircase&#39;s steps were replaced with wider ones. There have been no other changes to the house.</p><br>
<p>The Beaver Hills Historic District is a 97 acre historic district in the Beaver Hills neighborhood of New Haven, Connecticut. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986. In 1986, it included 235 contributing buildings.</p><br>
<p>According to its 1986 nomination, the district is significant as a nearly intact example of an early 20th-century suburban residential subdivision. One feature of note was the presence of "one of the city&#39;s best collections of early 20th-century garages."</p><br>
<p>Significant contributing properties in the historic district include:</p><br>
<p>Pitkin House, from 1931, a Tudor Revival style house at 207 Colony Road. A -story "frame house with gable roof, front gable pavilions, stuccoed/half-timbered exterior" (see NRHP-nomination-accompanying photo #22)</p><br>
<p>Alan Krevit House, from 1936, a -story Colonial Revival style frame house with gable roof, at 186 Colony Road</p><br>
<p>The district includes brick gateway piers at the intersections of Goffe Terrace with Norton Parkway and with Ellsworth Avenue, at the south end of the district. The piers include "tile plaques depicting beavers" and "were constructed by the Beaver Hills Company in 1908 to define the southern terminus of the neighborhood." (see photo #13)</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Beaver Hills area was given its name in colonial times, due to the large numbers of beavers that frequented local ponds. Until the turn of the 20th century, the area was farmland. After farmer George Mead died in 1906, his heirs began subdividing his farm for residential development, and also acquiring portions of adjacent farms for that purpose. They formed the Beaver Hills Development Company, which laid out streets, developed some of the housing lots itself, and sold off others, with restrictive covenants governing the size and quality of the construction to take place. The company built gates at the southern entries in order to give the neighborhood a sense of exclusiveness, and also built a neighborhood clubhouse. The company continued to develop the area until 1938, when it sold off the last of the lots it controlled. Development of the neighboring Farnham farm proceeded in a somewhat similar manner beginning in the 1920s, with virtually identical restrictive covenants to those of the Beaver Hills Company.</p><br>
<p>The Dwight Street Historic District is an irregularly shaped 135 acre historic district in New Haven, Connecticut. The district is located immediately west of the center of Downtown New Haven and is generally bounded by Elm Street on the north, Park Street on the east, North Frontage Road on the south, and Sherman Avenue on the west. It contains one of the citys highest concentrations of well-preserved 19th and early 20th-century residential architecture, much of which was developed for the working classes in the citys factories. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983. The historic district includes most of the Dwight neighborhood and several blocks of the northeast corner of the West River neighborhood.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The area that is now the Dwight neighborhood was mainly farmland until after the War of 1812. Beginning in 1825, the construction of the Farmington Canal drew many laborers to the city, and the Dwight area, located just west of downtown New Haven, began its transformation into a densely built urban area with a grid of streets. In the 1830s, several carriage factories were located in the area to capitalize on the available labor, contributing to the development of that industry as a major economic force in the city&#39;s 19th-century development. Today, only a few buildings survive from the carriage industry in the neighborhood.</p><br>
<p>The district is about 135 acre in size. Of 629 buildings in the district 595 were deemed contributing buildings when it was listed on the National Register. Although there is a broad diversity of residential architecture, from modest Federal period single-family houses to early 20th-century apartment buildings, the district has an unusually high concentration of late 19th-century Victorian-era residences, typically in vernacular renditions of the then-popular Italianate, Second Empire, and Queen Anne styles.</p><br>
<p>Significant contributing buildings in the district include:</p><br>

<p>The Warm Springs Pools are historic spa structures in the town of Warm Springs, Virginia. The name was changed in the 20th century from "Warm Spring Pools" to "Jefferson Pools" before being returned to its original name in 2021. The spa is part of The Homestead, a resort hotel in nearby Hot Springs.</p><br>
<p>The spas are naturally fed by a 98 &deg;F mineral spring. The men&#39;s spa holds 40,000 USgal of constantly flowing water. In total, the springs in Warm Springs have a flow rate of 1,700,000 gallons of water per day. The water naturally contains minerals including magnesium sulfate, iron, silica, boron, barium, manganese, and lithium.</p><br>
<p>Currently, guests can book one-hour soak sessions in the pools. Omni Hotels offers family sessions where all ages, including children are welcome, or adult co-ed soaks for ages 16 and up. Keeping with tradition, there are also clothing-optional soaking times available, when the pools are separated by sex.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Gentlemens Pool House is the oldest spa structure in the United States. The octagon-shaped foundation was built in 1761. The wooden structure on top of the pool was first constructed in the 1820s. The Ladies&#39; Pool House was built in 1836, and is a 22-sided structure. The buildings have changed little over the years, except for the 2021 rehabilitation of the pools.</p><br>
<p>The site was listed as Warm Springs Bathhouses on the Virginia Landmarks Register on November 11, 1968, and the National Register of Historic Places on October 8, 1969.</p><br>
<h2>2021 Rehabilitation</h2><br>
<p>The bath houses had slowly fallen into disrepair due to many decades of use and exposure of the untreated wood to steam and mineral water. The buildings were ordered closed by Bath County in October 2017 due to their becoming a safety hazard. The owner, The Omni Homestead Resort, announced the rehabilitation of the Warm Springs Pools. Work began on the rehabilitation of the Warm Springs Pools in 2021, partnering with 3North Architects and Lionberger Construction. The rehabilitation follows the requirements of the Pools&#39; historic site registrations. Blueprints of the new design are based on photographs and documents on the structures as the bath houses appeared in 1925. The pools reopened in December 2022 following their rehabilitation.</p><br>
