<p>White-Pound House is a historic home in Lockport in Niagara County, New York. The -story, 3,000+ square-foot stone structure was built in 1835 and remodeled in the Italianate style in the late nineteenth century. Today, the house retains its late nineteenth-century appearance on both its exterior and interior and is distinguished by its sophisticated detailing. The fine stone masonry workmanship, elaborate decorative detail and the high level of architectural integrity make the White-Pound house a prominent local landmark and an important example of Lockport&#39;s legacy of stone architecture. It is one of approximately 75 stone residences remaining in the city of Lockport.</p><br>
<p>HISTORY</p><br>
<p>The White-Pound house was built in 1835. During the first thirteen years of its existence, the house&#39;s title was transferred many times. However, after 1848, when Charles Schulz and his wife Sophia sold the house for $1000 to Robert and Martha White, the house remained in the ownership of the same family for 125 years.</p><br>
<p>Born on June 26, 1818, in Washington County, New York, Robert White moved to Lockport in 1836 and began work as a retail clerk for Wilkinson & McMaster. In 1842, he entered in a partnership with Sumner Ballou to open his own grocery business. He died of "spasmodic croup" in 1865, leaving his widow, Martha C, and three children. His obituary in the Lockport Daily Journal described him as a man of "large personal popularity, who was elected to represent the town on the County Board of Supervisors, at a time when his party was in the minority in the Town of Lockport... He was universally regarded as a faithful and capable public officer and a public-spirited and patriotic citizen..."</p><br>
<p>Martha White occupied the house until her death in 1910. She left the house in trust for her daughter Mary E. who made it her lifelong residence. After Mary E. Whites death in 1940, residual legatees from Martha C. Whites will rented the house. In 1948, the houses title was transferred to Donna Coates Pound. Pounds husband, Alexander White Pound, was a grandson of Robert and Martha White. Their daughter Emma was married to Judge Cuthbert Pound; thus Alexander White Pound was a descendant of one of Lockports most prestigious families. Donna moved into the house after her husband died and remained in the house until 1972. After Donnas death, the house was sold outside of the family.</p><br>
<p>The house experienced two significant alterations during the nineteenth century. The first, probably completed in the late 1850s, included the entrance porch, elongated window openings at the first-floor street facade, the hip roof, extended eaves, scroll brackets, and pendants. The second, completed in about 1880, included the current entrance doors, the present fireplace mantles and the second-floor frame addition at the rear wing. Both renovations included work to update the houses appearance. The first renovation transformed the house with picturesque architectural elements associated with the Italianate architectural style popularized by Andrew Jackson Downing. The rear wings incised detailing, bulls eye corner blocks and trim are typical of the machine produced millwork contemporary of the Eastlake architectural style. The changes illustrate the evolution of popular taste through the nineteenth century. The White-Pound house is significant under the National Register Criterion C as an important example of Lockports mid-nineteenth-century domestic architecture. The refined masonry treatment at the house&#39;s main facade is enhanced by prominent beaded joints dressed stonework at the base of the entry porch.</p><br>
<p>The White-Pound house is south of the city&#39;s central business district on the east side of Pine Street. The surrounding residential neighborhood contains early to late nineteenth-century houses. Although most houses are wood-frame construction, the surrounding block has several other stone houses.</p><br>
<p>The White-Pound house is on a level 66 foot wide by 119 foot deep lot. A walk of Gasport Limestone slabs connects the public sidewalk to the houses entrance porch. A concrete driveway is on the houses north side. A modern, wood, three-foot high stockade fence is at the rear of the back yard.</p><br>
<p>EXTERIOR</p><br>
<p>The White-Pound house is a hip roof, -story, Gasport Limestone, Italianate-style house. A two-story wing projects from the rear of the house. Gasport Limestone lintels and sills are used on the buildings facades. The dressed water table, above the three-foot high ashlar-faced exposed foundation wall, occurs only at the street facade. Large dressed ashlar Gasport Limestone quoins reinforce the houses corners.</p><br>
<p>The houses four-bay, west-facing front facade is made of grey Gasport Limestone laid in quarry-face ashlar with beaded mortar joints. The facades regular arrangement of openings incorporates four second-story windows aligned above taller first-floor windows. The windows retain nineteenth-century wood one-over-one double-hung sash and operable louvered shutters. Six-light sash cellar windows are below the water table. Double entrance doors and a single-bay porch occupy the right center bay of the facade. The porchs treads and cheek walls are made of dressed Gasport Limestone blocks. The square porch posts with abstracted capitals and plinths appear to date from the early twentieth century. The porchs hip roof has broad projecting eaves adorned with regularly spaced pairs of turned pendants. The tall, narrow porch entrance doors incorporate three-quarter height glass lights, molded trim and bull&#39;s-eye corner blocks. Early twentieth-century storm doors, with removable twelve-light sash, are installed at the exterior face of the main doors.</p><br>
<p>The house&#39;s north and south facades are made of uncoursed rubble. The south wall is devoid of window openings. The north wall has been parged.</p><br>
<p>At roof level, the eaves extend nearly three feet beyond the face of the wall below. The bays are marked with large scroll brackets. The eaves are embellished by regularly spaced turned pendants. Above the south and north walls are two symmetrical pairs of stone chimneys.</p><br>
<p>The first floor of the rear wing is made of stone matching the detailing of the main block. The wood-frame second floor of the wing appears to be a late nineteenth-century addition.</p><br>
<p>INTERIOR</p><br>
<p>The White/Pound house&#39;s interior survives with a relatively high degree of integrity of design, materials and craftsmanship. Most rooms retain original plaster finishes, base moldings, casings and four-panel doors. The original room configuration survives intact.</p><br>
<p>The houses front entrance leads to the main hall and an open stair along its left wall. The stair handrail terminates in a shepherds crook above a turned newel. The turned handrail spindles have a plain tapered profile. The handrail spindles and newel have a dark natural finish. South of the hall is a small sitting room connected to a bedroom in the rear. North of the hall are the main parlor and the dining room, connected by a large doorway. The kitchen and utility spaces are in the rear wing. All the primary first-floor rooms incorporate wide plank hardwood floors, ten-foot ceilings, four-panel doors, wide shouldered Greek Revival casings and simple but wide wood base boards. The interior doorways incorporate paneled casings with corner blocks. The dining room and main parlors contain matching black marble Eastlake style fireplace mantles with decorative incising, coal grates and encaustic tile hearths. The mantle&#39;s wide proportions suggest their appearance is the result of a ca. 1880 adaptation of a preexisting mantle.</p><br>
<p>One of the houses most significant features is a well-preserved early kitchen in the cellar below the main parlor. A simple open stair with chambered and tapered square newel and square spindles descends from the first floor to the kitchen. The room retains its original plain six-panel doors, wainscoting, beaded Federal-era casings, plaster walls and ceiling and fir plank floor. At the rooms north wall is a cooking fireplace and baking oven. The fireplace retains a federal mantle, andirons and crane. The firebox opening and the heath are made of large dressed blocks of Gasport Limestone. The adjacent baking over in constructed of brick.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2003 after undergoing detailed preservation by Robert J and Holly E Keller.</p><br>

<p>The United States Post Office and Court House is a courthouse of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Kentucky located in Lexington, Kentucky. Built in 1934, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.</p><br>
<h2>Significance</h2><br>
<p>The passage of the Public Buildings Act of 1926 instigated a period of building construction that was unprecedented in the United States, including the United States Post Office and Court House in Lexington. The office of the Supervising Architect of the Department of the Treasury, which was responsible for the design of federal buildings in this era, sought employ private architectural firms to ameliorate the effects of the Great Depression on that trade. The Lexington federal building was designed by H.A. Churchill and John T. Gillig and completed in 1934. Many of the federal buildings of this period exhibit streamlined, almost austere, finishes and features; therefore, it is generally believed that Louis Simon, Supervising Architect of the Treasury, exerted a great deal of control over the design.</p><br>
<p>The building was constructed as a post office, courthouse and federal office building. When the USA Post Office moved out, many of the spaces, especially on the 1st floor and lobby area were significantly changed.</p><br>
<h2>Architectural description</h2><br>
<p>The four-story, limestone Classical Revival federal building sits on a granite base. The primary (south) elevation has the concentrated enrichment. This elevation consists of a horizontal balustrade with simple Tuscan capitals and an unenriched entablature, flanked by two monumental pavilions. The pavilions terminate the composition of the south elevation and consist of two 4&#39; diameter, two-story high Doric columns in limestone. The columns rests upon the first floor limestone base, and support an entablature. The dual fluted columns support an enriched entablature consisting of triglyphs interrupted by two stone rosettes, one above each column. This detailing is duplicated at each of the two pavilions. The fourth floor is concealed behind the entablature and cornice. The rear (north) elevation is secondary to the front and side elevations. The plan is typical of many post offices and courthouses of the time. The first floor covers the entire footprint and the upper floors are raised above the first floor in a B plan, where the primary elevation is the front of the B. The three wings which bridge from the front to the back are the east wing; the main ceremonial courtroom, Courtroom A, in the center; and the west wing. This plan results in two interior light courts which serve the interior offices and Courtroom A. The north elevation is the location of the loading dock and, at the northeast corner, the current entry door for the public to the postal sales area of the first floor.</p><br>
<p>The Lexington federal building has two ornamental, oval-shaped entry lobbies at the southeast and southwest entries. The southeast entry lobby houses the grand staircase, and the southwest lobby the passenger elevators. These oval lobbies originally opened onto the public lobby and, by extension, to the postal lobby of the first floor. The current postal lobby was sealed-off via aluminum doors and the finishes have been completely altered from the original appearance. The southwest (main) entry lobby is an oval-shaped space. The rounded walls are clad with full height polished St. Genevieve Golden Vein marble. The floors are buff terrazzo with brass divider strips and a Westfield Green marble border and base. The panel ceilings are painted plaster with a painted plaster cornice ornamented with a triglyph motif. The elevators are set back in the marble and the original elevator doors are decorative bronze with cast bronze panels featuring an urn motif in the center. The decorative lintels feature egg and dart, dentil and scroll patterns with a modified keystone directly over the elevator doors. The southeast oval-shaped entry lobby contains the main staircase of the building. The finishes of this lobby are the same as the southwest with a couple of exceptions. The main staircase curves into the lobby at the north wall. The stair treads are fine sand-rubbed Appalachian Golden Vein marble; the risers, and stair and wall stringers are polished Appalachian Golden Vein marble. The public lobby is 120 long. The floors are buff terrazzo with Westfield Green marble border and base. The walls are punctuated by a series of marble engaged pilasters supporting a polychrome crown mold band with triglyphs. Between the pilasters is wainscot of polished St. Genevieve Golden Vein marble to a height of 3.</p><br>
<p>The public corridors are generally L-shaped except on the fourth floor where the corridors extend around the perimeter of the outside wall. Originally the corridors had terrazzo floors with 8" pink marble borders, plaster ceiling and walls with marble base. The original corridor doors were hollow metal surrounded by metal trim. Many original finishes still exist. The elevator lobbies have the same terrazzo floors with painted plaster walls and ceiling. The elevator doors are framed by Appalachian Golden Vein marble, with the same marble comprising the base at the wall.</p><br>
<p>Other significant interior spaces are the courtroom, and the original Petit Jury room and rear hall of the third floor. The courtroom and lobby are among the more impressive spaces in the building and are in nearly original condition. The court lobby is set apart from the rest of the east–west corridor of the 2nd floor by its expanded width and by a marble surrounded entry at each end (east and west) of the court lobby. The floors are terrazzo with brass divider strips and pink marble borders. The walls are clad with Appalachian Golden Vein marble to a height of 6 with marble base and wainscot cap. The main courtroom is a large room with 4 wide side aisles separated from the main courtroom by structural columns. The walls are clad with Appalachian Golden Vein marble wainscot with cap to a height of 4. Behind the judges rostrum are two sets of double marble engaged pilasters on each on which rests an elaborate, short entablature. Within the entablatures is a frieze ornamented with scrollwork. The caps of the entablatures support a painted plaster arch. The pilasters and an arch frame a niche. The ornamental trabeated ceiling is an important feature of the room. The exposed beams are wood and both the beams and the panels between have stenciling.</p><br>
<p>Generally the tenant spaces of the Lexington Federal Building are on the first floor (partially), second (except court areas), third and fourth floors. Over the years, the areas given over to tenants have been changed significantly. The basement continues to be used primarily as a service and mechanical area.</p><br>

<p>Volcano House is the name of a series of historic hotels built at the edge of Kīlauea, within the grounds of Hawaii Volcanoes National Park on the Island of Hawaii. The original 1877 building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and now houses the Volcano Art Center. The hotel in use today was built in 1941 and expanded in 1961.</p><br>
<p>Between May 2018 and October 2018, the hotel and the Kīlauea summit area of the national park were closed to the public due to volcanic explosions and earthquakes.</p><br>
<h2>Early visitors</h2><br>
<p>In ancient Hawaii the volcano was the place to make offerings to the fire goddess Pele. Archeological evidence shows activity for hundreds of years, including gathering of volcanic glass to use as cutting tools. Only a few rare eruptions such as the one in 1790 are explosive, and the northeast rim provides a relatively safe vantage point. The prevailing northeast trade winds and higher elevation cause poisonous gasses and lava to flow in the other direction. Rev. William Ellis describes camping in this area in his journal of his 1823 missionary tour with Asa Thurston.</p><br>
<p>An enterprising Hawaiian was reported to have set up a small thatched hut in the early 1840s to sell food to visitors, who by then included sightseers as well as explorers. Charles Wilkes camped in this area on the United States Exploring Expedition in 1840, on his way to Mauna Loa. About 1846 a primitive one-room grass shelter was constructed at the rim of the Kīlauea crater by Benjamin Pitman, the first hotel to call itself "Volcano House". Sometimes visitors would show up after the long journey and nobody would be home.</p><br>
<p>A more substantial wood-frame structure was built in 1866 with four bedrooms, parlor, and dining room. Mark Twain stayed here, and wrote about his visit in the book Roughing It.</p><br>
<h2>The 1877 structure</h2><br>
<p>In 1876 George W. C. Jones bought out the other partners in the business and hired William H. Lentz to construct a longer-lasting structure, and manage the hotel. Peter Lee built a hotel at the coast in Punaluu to the west, and a road across the Kaū Desert to bring visitors. He also built a competing hotel at the Kīlauea rim called the Crater House Hotel.</p><br>
<p>In 1891, a group led by Honolulu businessman and politician Lorrin A. Thurston (grandson of 1820s missionaries Asa and Lucy Goodale Thurston) acquired the Volcano House and Peter Lees hotels. The business was so successful that a two-story addition became the main part of the hotel, adding 10 - 12 additional guest rooms, an observation tower, and a larger dining hall, using the 1877 structure as a wing. Thurston commissioned a cyclorama of Kīlauea which he displayed in his travels to the mainland, including the Chicago Worlds Columbian Exposition of 1893 and the California Midwinter International Exposition of 1894 in San Francisco. In 1894 a four-horse stagecoach reduced the travel time from Hilo from two days to six hours.</p><br>
<p>George Lycurgus bought the hotel in 1895 and was associated with it for the next 65 years. The Hawaii Consolidated Railway line to Glenwood opened in 1901, bringing more visitors. Author Jack London stayed in 1907. In 1912, geologist Thomas Jaggar built a scientific observatory adjacent to the porch, used until 1961 by the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory. The instruments were housed in an underground vault with massive concrete walls, excavated by laborers from the nearby prison.</p><br>
<p>After ten years of lobbying by Thurston, a National Park was established in 1916. In 1921, Inter-Island Steam Navigation Company bought the property with plans for another expansion. A large two-story wing took the place of the 1877 structure, which was literally sawn off and relocated back from the cliff to be used as employee quarters. Some of the building materials came from the dismantled Crater House Hotel just outside the park. In 1932, a decline in eruptions and the Great Depression allowed Lycurgus to buy it back for only $300.</p><br>
<p>In 1972 a dormitory for employees was built, and the vacant 1877 structure started to deteriorate. and added to the</p><br>
<p>National Register of Historic Places on July 24, 1974, as site 74000293. It was refurbished in the late 1970s and now houses the Volcano Art Center Gallery.</p><br>
<h2>The modern hotel</h2><br>
<p>The 115-room building burned to the ground on February 11, 1940 (from a kitchen fire, not a volcanic eruption). By November 1941 a new building designed by Charles William Dickey (1871–1942) was opened southeast of the original site, at coordinates 19&deg;25&prime;42&Prime;N latitude, 155&deg;15&prime;29&Prime;W longitude. A wing with larger rooms was added in 1958 - 1961, for a total of 42 rooms. The facility also includes a dining room, snack bar, art gallery, and gift shop. Volcano House remains the only public hotel within Hawaii Volcanoes National Park.</p><br>
<p>From 1977 to 1986, Volcano House was managed by Sheraton Hotels. From 1986 to 2008 it was owned and operated by Ken Direction Corporation of Hilo.</p><br>
<h2>Current status</h2><br>
<p>On May 10, 2018, the hotel and the surrounding Kīlauea summit area of the national park was closed to the public as a result of then-ongoing volcanic explosions and earthquakes. The hotel reopened in late October 2018.</p><br>
<h3>Recent history</h3><br>
<p>In April 2008 the hotel had to be evacuated several times due to sulfur dioxide fumes from an eruption in Halemaʻumaʻu. The Ken Corporation&#39;s concession expired at the end of 2008, and the National Park Service undertook a search for a new concessionaire.</p><br>
<p>Effective January 1, 2010, Volcano House was closed temporarily for renovations. Initially the Park Service hoped to have the new concessionaire in place and the hotel reopened by January 1, 2011. In April 2012, Hawai&#39;i Volcanoes Lodge Company, a partnership between Ortega National Parks (later renamed ExplorUS) and Aqua Hotels and Resorts, became the new concessioner. The gift shop and Namakani Paio cabins and campground opened shortly thereafter. Work on the rest of the building began in January 2013. The hotel and restaurant completed renovations and both the hotel and the restaurant opened for business in June 2013.</p><br>

<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2005.</p><br>
<p>The Hotel Niagara is a vacant landmark hotel in Niagara Falls, Niagara County, New York. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2008.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<h3>Early years</h3><br>
<p>The hotel was built by Niagara Falls businessman Frank A. Dudley and operated by the United Hotels Company. The 12 story, steel frame and concrete hotel was designed by prominent Buffalo architects Esenwein and Johnson and was built in 1924 (cornerstone laid on March 24, 1924). The hotel was dedicated on April 8, 1925 and opened for business the following day. It is located 1/4 mile from the Horseshoe Falls, it is one block from the Seneca Niagara Casino. It has nearly 200 guest rooms as well as convention facilities. It has been known by various names including The Hotel Niagara; Johns Niagara Hotel; Parks Inn; International; Days Inn-Falls View; and Travelodge Niagara Falls.</p><br>
<p>Note: This includes</p><br>
<p>The hotel&#39;s primary public rooms include the lobby, ballroom and main dining room and as of March 2016, have survived largely intact. They feature elaborate ceiling plaster moldings and columns, gilded capitals, faux limestone walls, oak and emerald terrazzo floors.</p><br>
<h3>2007 closure and subsequent restoration plans</h3><br>
<p>The property closed for renovations in 2007, which never took place. In 2010, the property was foreclosed by the State Bank of Texas, which expressed no interest in ownership, after the owners, Amidee Hotels & Resorts, abandoned the property and allowed it to fall into foreclosure after their parent company, Amidee Capital Group, LLC, filed for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy. The building was condemned by the Niagara Falls Department of Code Enforcement after the heating system failed, which caused water pipes in the building to burst. The city shut off the water when that happened, leaving the building without running water or a functional fire sprinkler system, which constitutes several code violations.</p><br>
<p>In April 2011, the property was sold at a foreclosure auction for $1,250,000 to Jamil Kara, a developer from Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. He told the Niagara Gazette, a Niagara Falls newspaper, that he planned to convert the building into a five-star hotel and condominium.</p><br>
<p>In September 2011, Toronto developer Harry Stinson bought the building from Kara for an undisclosed amount, intending to restore it. His company, Stinson Developments, estimated they would finish renovations by summer 2013. However the work was never completed.</p><br>
<p>Stinson sold the building in 2015 to Reception Hotels & Resorts, for $4.4 million. Reception similarly announced plans to renovate the structure. they later announced that it would become a Radisson Hotel on the completion of a $21.5 million makeover.</p><br>
<p>In March 2016, the New York State-run USA Niagara Development Corporation agreed to purchase the property from its current owner, Harry Stinson of JSK International Corp. USA Niagara Development Corp. plans on issuing a new request for proposals to complete renovations of the building.</p><br>
<p>The purchase price was described as "up to $4.4 million," with funding for the acquisition, inspections, insurance and property holding services, up to $5 million, will be provided through Gov. Andrew Cuomo&#39;s state-financed "Buffalo Billion" development initiative.</p><br>
<p>It was announced in December 2019 that the hotel would be restored by Syracuse developer Ed Riley, who previously restored the historic Hotel Syracuse as the Marriott Syracuse Downtown. The restoration was to cost $42 million, and was set to receive $10.6 million in state and federal historic preservation tax credits. The hotel was to reopen in 2021 as part of the Tribute Portfolio division of Marriott Hotels & Resorts. It was to have 160 rooms, three restaurants, banquet facilities, and a rooftop lounge. The restoration was stalled by the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the NCIDA withdrew its tax incentive package in 2021, when the owners found themselves unable to secure loans for the restoration.</p><br>
<p>In June 2024, Riley&#39;s Brine Wells Development LLC resubmitted its plans to restore the structure, at a cost of $50 million.</p><br>
<h2>In popular culture</h2><br>
<p>It was reportedly the home of Marilyn Monroe and Joe DiMaggio while filming Niagara in 1952.</p><br>
<p>Former guests of the hotel include USA President John F. Kennedy, Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr., Joseph Cotten, and Al Capone.</p><br>
<p>The Pike County Courthouse is located at Courthouse Square in the center of Murfreesboro, Arkansas, United States. The two-story Art Deco structure was designed by the Texarkana firm of Witt, Seibert & Halsey, and built in 1931–32. It is the county&#39;s fourth courthouse, all of which were built at or near the location of this one. A near duplicate of the Sevier County Courthouse in DeQueen, it is the only major Art Deco structure in the county.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.</p><br>
<p>The Robert M. Lamp House is a residence built in 1903 two blocks northeast of the capitol in Madison, Wisconsin, designed by Frank Lloyd Wright for his lifelong friend "Robie" Lamp, a realtor, insurance agent, and Madison City Treasurer. The oldest Wright-designed house in Madison, its style is transitional between Chicago School and Prairie School. In 1978 the house was added to the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>"Robie" Lamp</h2><br>
<p>Lamp (1866-1916) lived here with his parents and an aunt until their deaths, and later with his wife and stepson. He selected this location one and a half blocks east of the Capitol Square because of its proximity to his office on Pinckney Street. He sometimes walked to work, but because of a withered leg he used crutches and canes, and he usually drove.</p><br>
<p>Born one year apart, Wright and Lamp shared a June 8 birthday. Following a schoolyard fight in 1879 based in part on ethnic difference, Lamp being of German and Wright of Welsh ancestry, they became boyhood chums, frequently went boating together, and even put out a juvenile newspaper jointly. What one historian has termed their "bromance" endured until Lamp&#39;s premature death at age 49. Lamp joshingly called Wright "Quaker Oats" because of his distinctive headwear, and Wright called Lamp "Pinky" or "Ruby" because of his red hair, nicknames he would also use for the youngest of his four sons, David Wright.</p><br>
<p>Five years after leaving Madison for Chicago in 1887, Wright designed for Lamp a lakefront cottage and boat landing in Lake Mendota called Rocky Roost (destroyed by fire in 1934). Ten years after that, Lamp asked Wright to design a house for him. A common denominator of the two building projects is their unprepossessing locations, sites developed virtually out of nothing.</p><br>
<h2>Site and surroundings</h2><br>
<p>The Lamp House has a mid-block location, a siting unique among Wrights works. Bounded by East Washington Avenue and by Mifflin, Webster, and Butler Streets, it is accessible only from Butler Street via a narrow, ascending driveway on a right-of-way between two houses. The "keyhole" lot then opens up, producing a compression / release dynamic encountered frequently in Wrights works. This telescoping effect contributes to the monumental impression made by the house, which is further heightened by two flights of poured concrete steps, so that the visitor approaches the house through a three-stage mount from driveway to front facade—a layout shared, for example, by Wrights Westcott House in Ohio, built five years later. It is also characteristic of Wrights design that the entrance door is not visible as one approaches the house but is out of sight, around the corner on the north side, which has a paved veranda the full length of the house.</p><br>
<p>Despite its downtown location, the Lamp House has a secluded feel because of its mid-block site. In addition to laying out the driveway and steps leading up to the eastern side of the house as well as the veranda on its north side, Wright hardscaped the lot with urns (now missing), curbs, and concrete-capped rubblestone retaining walls to develop an extensive yard and garden, sculpting what had originally been a steeply sloped lot into a cascading, multi-tiered landscape. The basement receives sufficient sunlight from a window on the eastern facade to overwinter tender garden plants in containers.</p><br>
<p>The rooftop served Lamp, a skilled oarsman himself, as a viewing platform on which he could use binoculars to watch boaters on Lake Mendota to the north and Lake Monona to the south. Although completely landlocked, the Lamp House originally provided a viewscape in many ways comparable to that of a lakefront residence. It has always been surrounded on all four sides by residential buildings, and although the southern viewshed toward Lake Monona has been cut off by a high-rise on an adjacent lot and the westward view toward the Capitol was blocked by new construction in 2015, the penthouse enclosure later added on the Lamp House roof still has a view of Lake Mendota over the ensemble of 19th- and early 20th-century buildings to the immediate north and west.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture and floor plan</h2><br>
<p>The simple, boxy shape of the Lamp House was quite modern for its time and stands as a precursor of Wrights breakthrough to abstraction by 1905. Together with the contemporaneous Dana–Thomas and William E. Martin Houses, it marks a transition between the styles of the Chicago School and the Prairie School. Contemporaries dubbed it "New American" in design, while the casement windows were "Old English" in inspiration. Some elements, including the fussy, diamond-shaped ornamentation in the brickwork and the truncated corner piers rising to the height of the second-story window sills, have been attributed to Wrights draftsman Walter Burley Griffin. Massive corner piers are a hallmark of Wrights nearly contemporaneous Larkin Building (1904) in Buffalo, New York. The exterior walls are constructed not of house brick but of cream-colored commercial brick, which Wright also used for his own home (1895) and studio (1898) in Oak Park, Illinois. The Lamp Houses diamond-paned windows with frames painted a dark brownish red also echo those of Wrights Oak Park home and studio, which Lamp visited many times. At some time after Lamps death, the building was painted white.</p><br>
<p>A small vestibule opens into a large, rectangular living room occupying the entire eastern half of the ground floor, while the western side has a dining room open to the living room and a kitchen separated from the dining room by a staircase to the second and third floors. Within the living room, a triangular-shaped brick-lain fireplace apron—a feature shared by the nearly contemporaneous Hillside Home School near Spring Green, Wisconsin—is positioned at the center of the house rather than at the more traditional location of an exterior wall. A flight of stairs between dining room and kitchen leads to the second floor, where four bedrooms and a bathroom are connected by a central hallway positioned directly above the fireplace downstairs—the flue is divided and diverted up through the walls of the hallway.</p><br>
<p>The stairway continues up to the roof level, which until 2015 afforded a southern view of the nearby State Capitol (its second iteration was destroyed by fire in 1904) and originally featured an elegant roof garden complete with a greenhouse and a grape arbor grown on a pergola (deconstructed in the 1960s) that was open to south. The roof garden, which anticipates many later designs by Walter Burley Griffin, gave the house something of a japonesque air.</p><br>
<h2>Context in Wright&#39;s architecture</h2><br>
<p>The square, "open" floor plan without a wall between living room and dining room devised by Walter Burley Griffin for the Lamp House would become a standard in the following years, reused in no fewer than 25 of Wrights later projects, including the Barton House (1903–04) in Buffalo, New York, and adapted by Prairie School architects in numerous other projects. Wright adapted it in a plan he published in 1907, titled "A Fireproof House for $5000", which became one of the exemplary modern residential floor plans of the period up to about 1920. Deficiencies in the exterior design of the Lamp House, such as the patterned brickwork, are probably attributable to the haste with which the project moved from commission to completion. Wright ordered working drawings to be made before a final version was put to paper. The Lamp House nonetheless has great significance in the history of both Wrights and Griffin&#39;s development.</p><br>
<h2>Potential development</h2><br>
<p>Madisons current zoning calls for the demolition of numerous smaller buildings in the area near the Capitol Square and along East Washington Avenue. Two nearby houses, at 506 East Washington Avenue and 7 North Franklin Street, were both built circa 1853 by Wisconsins second governor, Leonard J. Farwell. In May 2013, the Fred Rouse Company, a local developer, proposed building a six-story apartment building to the north of the Lamp House that would have led to the demolition of three adjacent houses constructed between 1872 and 1904. Opposition to the plan prompted district alderperson Ledell Zellers in September 2013 to form an ad hoc committee to advise on plans for the block. The committee recommended that the northern viewscape toward Lake Mendota be preserved. In 2014, four houses south of the Lamp House were demolished to make room for a six-story apartment building, whose owners created a side opening to Webster Street and stepped back the nearest corner along East Mifflin Street in order to preserve traditional views of the Lamp House. Preservationists would like to see the Lamp House and its grounds restored to their original condition and repurposed from the current residential usage into a downtown visitor center focusing on the life and times of Frank Lloyd Wright in Madison and beyond.</p><br>
<p>The Albany Pump Station, originally the Quackenbush Pumping Station of the Albany Water Works, is located in Quackenbush Square on Broadway in the city of Albany, New York, United States. It is a large brick building constructed in the 1870s and expanded later in the century.</p><br>
<p>It was built to pump municipal water from the nearby Hudson River, and continued in that use for 60 years. In 1983 it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Today it has been partly converted into a popular local restaurant and brewpub, a reuse that drew an award from the Preservation League of New York State. The beers have also received awards at the World Beer Cup and at the Great American Beer Festival. Another area of the building serves as the city of Albany&#39;s visitor center.</p><br>
<h2>Building</h2><br>
<p>The pumphouse building complex is part of Quackenbush Square, a small pedestrian mall area named for the nearby Quackenbush House, one of the oldest buildings in Albany. It is located just off Broadway, on the east side of the street just north of, and visible from, the offramp that carries northbound traffic on US 9 from the Dunn Memorial Bridge and Interstate 787 to Clinton Avenue in the city.</p><br>
<p>Its main block is a two-story four-by-four-bay brick building with a hipped roof shingled in slate. Large elliptically-arched windows, doubled on the second story, fill the west (front) facade. They are trimmed with brick lintels, keystones and stone sills, separated by broad pilasters. A large red sign saying "Albany Pump Station" is at the top of the facade, with "Brewpub and Restaurant" in smaller letters beneath.</p><br>
<p>A later northern extension is similar. To the south is a two-story brick building used as stables when originally constructed, with rounded windows in that section. A narrow extension protrudes from the north.</p><br>
<p>Inside, little remains of the original use or equipment. The Albany Heritage Area Visitors Center, a gift shop and the Henry Hudson Planetarium are located along the south facade, on Quackenbush Square.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<h3>Pumping station</h3><br>
<p>Albanys water supply system had grown from wells at the current site of the state capitol in 1670 to several small reservoirs created by damming local creeks by the mid-19th century. The citys explosive growth around the time of the Civil War began to test and strain that network. Eventually the city&#39;s water commission decided it could meet present and future demand only by tapping the Hudson directly instead of relying on distant tributaries.</p><br>
<p>In 1873 it bought land at the corner of Montgomery and Quackenbush streets. Local architect Edward Ogden designed the main block of the current building, and it was built later in the year. It had room for two steam-driven pumps that could move river water to Bleecker Reservoir (now Bleecker Stadium) west of the city. A neighboring house was demolished and a boiler house built on its site.</p><br>
<p>Five years later, in 1878, it was supplemented by Prospect Hill Reservoir and another pumping station in the west of the city, to serve new neighborhoods growing there. The pump station was expanded in 1895, and again two years later, with the present wings added and another nearby house taken over for office use. Three more pumps were put in service, and the building complex had assumed its current form.</p><br>
<p>The station continued to draw river water for the city for the next three decades. In 1935, Alcove Reservoir was built in the countryside south of the city, and Albany&#39;s water needs were finally satisfied for the long term. The station pumped its last water in 1937.</p><br>
<h3>Brewpub and restaurant</h3><br>
<p>The station remained in city hands, and was used by the city&#39;s water department primarily as a storage facility after it was taken offline. Four decades after that, in 1977, it was extensively renovated. It continued to be used for storage, and suffered structural neglect and decline.</p><br>
<p>In 1999, a local man named Neil Evans decided to resurrect the brewery his family had run downriver in Hudson, from 1786 to Prohibition. He started the C.H. Evans Brewing Company and bought the building. When he renovated the space he insisted on retaining its industrial ambiance. It has become a popular spot due to its location just northeast of downtown. The following year the Preservation League of New York recognized it with an award for Project Excellence.</p><br>
<p>Beer writer Lew Bryson has joined in, praising not only the brews on tap but the building, calling it "a great setting for a brewpub". He compares it to similar establishments in other cities located in former industrial buildings: "They&#39;re so solid, and so overengineered, that they seem to be the work of giants." and Kick-Ass Brown received a 2004 bronze in the American-Style Brown Ale category. His Kick-Ass Brown also won the Gold Medal in the American-style Brown Ale category at the 2000, 2002 and 2008 Great American Beer Festival.</p><br>

<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002.</p><br>
<p>North Ridge United Methodist Church is a historic United Methodist church located at North Ridge, New York in Niagara County, New York. It is a Greek Revival style cobblestone church constructed in 1848. It features mostly round, evenly colored, lake washed cobbles. It is one of approximately 47 cobblestone buildings in Niagara County.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002.</p><br>
<p>First Baptist Church is a historic Baptist church located at Newfane in Niagara County, New York. It is a Greek Revival style cobblestone church constructed in 1843. It is one of approximately 47 cobblestone buildings in Niagara County.</p><br>
<p>First Baptist Church was formed in 1829, when Andrew Jackson took office as the seventh president of the United States, four years after the opening of the Erie Canal. In 1845 the church took a courageous moral position against slavery. At that time the Fugitive Slave Act prohibited speaking against slavery or helping slaves escape. The church did both.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004.</p><br>
<p>The church is part of the American Baptist Churches in the USA</p><br>
<p>Day Peckinpaugh is a historic canal motorship berthed at the Matton Shipyard on Peebles Island, Cohoes in Albany County, New York, United States.</p><br>
<h2>Early years</h2><br>
<p>Day Peckinpaugh was built in 1921 by the McDougall-Duluth Shipyard in Duluth, Minnesota, the first boat specially designed and built for New York State Barge Canal, the successor to the famed Erie Canal. The ship was originally named ILI101 after the ship&#39;s first owner, the Interwaterways Lines Inc of New York City. The ship was the first specifically designed to ply the open waters of the Great Lakes as well as the narrow locks and shallow waterways of the barge canal. Day Peckinpaugh is also the last surviving ship from a fleet of more than 100 of her type that once carried freight from the upper Midwest to the port of New York City.</p><br>
<p>At a length of 259 ft and width of 36 ft, she is among the largest boats to operate on New York&#39;s canal system where the maximum area available for vessels in a lock is 300 ft long by 43.5 ft wide.</p><br>
<p>With a 14 ft hold and a carrying capacity of 1,650 t, Day Peckinpaugh was well suited as a bulk carrier in which she hauled wheat, flax seed, rye, sugar, and in the early years pig iron.</p><br>
<h2>First renaming</h2><br>
<p>ILI101 was rechristened Richard J. Barnes in 1922 to honor the man who originally commissioned the ship.</p><br>
<h2>World War II service</h2><br>
<p>During World War II, Richard J. Barnes was drafted into the US Merchant Marine to carry coal and refuel cargo ships along the east coast of the United States. During her Merchant Marine service Richard J. Barnes was attacked by a German U-boat which fired a torpedo at her; the torpedo was thought to have passed under the ship due to her shallow seven foot draft.</p><br>
<h2>Second renaming</h2><br>
<p>In 1958, the ship was sold to Erie Navigation and retrofitted to carry sand and gravel. The ship was again renamed, becoming Day Peckinpaugh, in honor of the man of the same name, brother of the New York Yankees player and manager, Roger Peckinpaugh.</p><br>
<h2>Later service</h2><br>
<p>The ship was converted to a self-unloading dry cement hauler in 1961 and used to carry cement from Oswego to Rome, New York until her retirement in 1994. Day Peckinpaugh was the last self-propelled regularly scheduled commercial hauler on the barge canal.</p><br>
<h2>Restoration</h2><br>
<p>In 2005 Day Peckinpaugh was saved from the scrap yard by a partnership of museums and canal preservation societies, and is undergoing extensive cleaning, painting, restoration and testing of her engines. More than $3 million has been pledged to restore and convert Day Peckinpaugh into a floating classroom and museum that will highlight the history and heritage of the Erie Canal and the Great Lakes. In late 2011 the New York State Department of Education received a $191,000 grant to outfit Day Peckinpaugh to serve as a multi-regional educational facility. The restoration was scheduled for completion in 2012. The ‘‘Day Peckinpaugh’’ is the largest artifact in the New York State Museum collection.</p><br>
<h2>Attempted sinking</h2><br>
<p>On March 8, 2010 Guy J. Pucci, a 35-year-old ex-state employee was arrested after almost completely sinking the ship while she was docked at Lock 2 of the Barge Canal undergoing restoration. Pucci went aboard the vessel and opened valves to flood the ship in an attempt to scuttle her. The ship sustained extensive damage due to the flooding, and repairs were estimated to be in excess of $10,000.</p><br>
<p>Pucci had worked aboard Day Peckinpaugh since July 2009, but his position as a maintenance assistant had been terminated February 25, 2010.</p><br>
<h2>Current status</h2><br>
<p>The ship was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2005. At the time of its listing, it was located at Lockport in Niagara County, New York,</p><br>
<p>Day Peckinpaugh and the 1901 tugboat Urger, as still-functioning vessels, have become movable ambassadors of the New York State Barge Canal System.</p><br>
<p>As of 2018 it was considered a possible candidate for sinking as a reef due to maintenance costs.</p><br>
<p>Cold Springs Cemetery  is a historic cemetery located at Lockport in Niagara County, New York. Among the prominent burials are Erie Canal proponent Jesse Hawley, Cuthbert W. Pound, Chief Judge of the New York Court of Appeals from 1932 to 1934, and World War II Medal of Honor recipient William F. Leonard.</p><br>
<p>Incorporated in 1841, the cemetery was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004.</p><br>
<p>Deveaux School Historic District is a national historic district located at Niagara Falls in Niagara County, New York.</p><br>
<h2>Beginnings</h2><br>
<p>The property was deeded in the mid-1850s as “The DeVeaux College for Orphans and Destitute Children” by Judge Samuel DeVeaux and operated by the Episcopal Diocese of Western New York. Samuel DeVeaux (1789-1852) was a heavy contributor to the Lockport and Niagara Railroads, also known as the Strap Railroad and was instrumental in the construction of the Whirlpool Suspension Bridge in 1847. His business dealings resulted in vast purchases of land along the Niagara River. The entire region still bears his name.</p><br>
<p>Judge DeVeaux died suddenly on August 3, 1852, and being deeply religious and a sincere believer in the benefit of education, he left a portion of his estate for the benefit of Niagara Falls and the Episcopal Diocese to establish DeVeaux College. The college was located at the northern limits of the city and opposite the Whirlpool.</p><br>
<p>DeVeauxs vision was a preeminent institution of learning which would train young men in academics, trade professions and give them an education that did not neglect religious training. For nearly 80 years course work included mandatory military training with cadets dressed in uniforms in the tradition of the USA Military Academy at West Point, New York. The last day of military influence on campus came was on Founders Day in 1950 when the uniforms were replaced by coats and ties.</p><br>
<p>Among the school&#39;s faculty was William C. Baker, professor of languages for two years, around 1882-1883. Baker was later elected mayor of Providence, Rhode Island.</p><br>
<h2>Campus buildings</h2><br>
<p>Buildings on the property at one time included Van Rensselaer Hall, Monro Hall, Schoellkopf Hall, Edgewood, the Walker Residence, the Buscaglia-Castellani Art Gallery, a brick barn, boiler house, and three residential homes. The 51-acre site grew to encompass a campus of nearly a dozen buildings and residences.</p><br>
<p>The first building constructed was Van Rensselaer Hall, built in 1855-57 and dedicated on May 20, 1857 in honor of the Rev. Dr. Maunsell Van Rensselaer (1819–1900), older brother of Charles Van Rensselaer (1823–1857) and grandson of Killian K. Van Rensselaer (1763–1845), the second president of the school. Designed by Buffalo architect Calvin N. Otis, Van Rensselaer Hall was referred to as "the college edifice" and was three and a half stories built at a cost of $14,154. It consisted of the kitchen, dining room, pantries, laundry, and bathrooms on the ground level and school rooms, chapel, hospital, library, and president&#39;s rooms on the second level. The third floor contained the dormitory which accommodated about 25 boys. Additional dorms and a playroom were in the attic. In 1866 the building was expanded and a new kitchen, chapel, and study hall were added. This expansion was later named Patterson Hall after the second president of the school Rev. Dr. George H. Patterson.</p><br>
<p>The construction of Munro Hall in 1894 was an indication of expansion and lavish spending at Deveaux School. This new Gothic-inspired building cost $18,000 and was attached to Patterson Hall. Munros major feature was a new and bigger chapel that occupied the entire second floor. "Edgewood", the Chaplains house also dates to this era of expansion and was located at southeast of the complex.</p><br>
<h2>Years of decline</h2><br>
<p>DeVeaux College fell on hard times as the demand for prep-school education continued to decline in the 20th century. The Episcopal Diocese ceased operations at the school and, in 1971, looked to another organization to accept the burden of taking care of the historic structures. DeVeaux College closed its doors in 1972.</p><br>
<p>Subsequent property owners or lessees included Niagara County, Niagara Falls, Niagara University, Board of Cooperative Educational Services, and Niagara County Community College. The property is currently owned by the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation, who christened the property De Veaux Woods State Park.</p><br>
<p>The property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.</p><br>
<p>The Old Presbyterian Meeting House is a Christian church located at 321 South Fairfax Street in the Old Town neighborhood of Alexandria, Virginia. It is part of the National Capital Presbytery and the Synod of the Mid-Atlantic of the Presbyterian Church .</p><br>
<p>The meeting house was originally built in 1775 in the Early Republic style, but was largely destroyed by fire in 1835. It was rebuilt in 1836, and a bell tower was added in 1843 and granite entrance stairs were installed in 1853. The campus was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2001. The church also lies within the bounds of the Alexandria Historic District.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The heritage of the Meeting House dates from the early eighteenth century. Scottish Presbyterians were among the early European settlers of Northern Virginia and were involved in establishing Alexandria as a port in 1749. The Society of Presbyterians worshiped publicly in the city from the 1760s, and the congregation&#39;s first installed minister arrived in 1772. The Meeting House was erected in 1775. Largely destroyed by fire in 1835, it was subsequently rebuilt, maintaining a Reformed Protestant plain-style appearance. Except for a bell tower added in 1843 and granite entrance stairs installed in 1853, it remains little altered to the present day.</p><br>
<p>Alexandrians have gathered at the Meeting House for public worship many times over the years. Among other such services that George Washington attended here was one conducted by the Rev. Dr. James Muir for the National Day of Solemn Humiliation, Fasting, and Prayer in 1798. Alexandria&#39;s memorial services for George Washington in 1799 were held in this sanctuary. The church bell tolled in mourning during the four days between his death and burial.</p><br>
<p>The Meeting House remained open for worship throughout the Civil War, but the congregation dwindled afterward. In 1899 the building was closed for worship, and all of the church property was entrusted to Second Presbyterian Church, which accepted responsibility for maintaining it.</p><br>
<p>For the next half-century, it served as both a museum and a place of worship. In 1949, a new congregation, taking the name of "the Old Presbyterian Meeting House," was established here.</p><br>
<p>Music has been part of the Meeting House heritage from the earliest days, and the church has served as a venue for public concerts for more than two centuries. Its first pipe organ, built by Jacob Hilbus and installed in 1817, was—according to church historian Julius Melton—the first pipe organ installed in a Presbyterian church in the United States. The Hilbus organ was destroyed in the 1835 fire. The pipe organ in the apse, by Henry Erben, dates from 1849. The pipe organ in the rear gallery was installed in 1997 by the Lively-Fulcher Organ Company.</p><br>
<h2>Grounds</h2><br>
<p>Adjoining the Meeting House is a Burial Ground and several buildings: Flounder House, a building with a shed roof and built in 1787, was originally a parsonage; Elliot House (1844) was originally a private residence; and the Education Building was constructed in 1957.</p><br>
<h3>Burial Ground</h3><br>
<p>The Burial Ground is the final resting place of many patriots of the Revolutionary War, including one unidentified soldier who is honored by the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier of the American Revolution. and Daniel Douglass, merchant and flour inspector of the Port of Alexandria.</p><br>
<h3>Presbyterian Cemetery</h3><br>
<p>The Meeting House also maintains and operates the Presbyterian Cemetery on Hamilton Lane, about a mile west of the church and adjacent to Alexandria National Cemetery and other historic cemeteries. Opened in 1809, the cemetery is the final resting place of 17 patriots of the American Revolution, men killed in the War of 1812, and 62 Confederate veterans and a number of Union soldiers from the Civil War. Over the years, the Presbyterian Cemetery has provided burial space for merchants, ship captains, the Reverend Elias Harrison—the fourth pastor of the Meeting House, who died during the Civil War—a half dozen of Alexandrias mayors, numerous representatives of the citys governing council, a number of prominent businessmen and philanthropists, and at least one member of the USA House of Representatives.</p><br>
<h2>Congregation today</h2><br>
<p>A congregation of the Presbyterian Church (USA), the Old Presbyterian Meeting House today is led by the Reverend Dr. Robert R. Laha, Jr., Senior Pastor and Head of Staff; the Reverend Katherine A. Stanford, Associate Pastor; the Reverend Ann Herlin Staley, Associate Pastor; and a Session (governing body) of 26 ruling elders. The church has a vibrant congregation of more than 1,000 members that is very much engaged in the contemporary world. It is an inclusive, justice-seeking congregation welcoming members and visitors for worship, service, education, and fellowship. The church supports a variety of programs and ministries for people of all ages, from pre-school age through teenagers and working adults to older adults in retirement homes.</p><br>
<p>Music plays an important role in worship and broader aspects of life at the Meeting House. Worship services feature both the Lively-Fulcher pipe organ and the choir, which includes both professional and volunteer members. Special services may also feature the Erben organ, brass ensembles, the children&#39;s choirs, or other vocal or instrumental groups. "Concerts With A Cause," held periodically throughout the year, feature talented local artists, and a free-will offering collected at intermission benefits a designated local charity. During the Advent season, a half-hour program of "Noonday Noels," held on Wednesdays at noon, provides a brief musical offering and scripture reading.</p><br>
<p>Through the Presbyterian Church, the Meeting House maintains a very active local, regional, national, and worldwide mission and outreach program. Among other needs, it provides support each year for the Alexandria Tutoring Consortium, the Fund for Alexandria&#39;s Child, the Arlandria Health Center, the Family to Family program, which assists families in meeting their monthly bills, the Rebuilding Together Alexandria program, designed to help impoverished residents of the city make necessary property improvements using volunteer help, Alive!—Alexandrians Involved Ecumenically—and the Greater Washington Interfaith Power + Light program. The congregation also conducts annual mission projects with The Shack Neighborhood House in Scotts Run, West Virginia and has active mission partnerships with groups in Reynosa, Mexico; Islamabad, Pakistan; Pignon, Haiti; and Kenya. In recent years, the congregation has been actively involved in social justice advocacy on issues such as affordable housing and improved health services for the poor through the interdenominational Virginians Organized for Interfaith Community Engagement (VOICE). In 2011, the Meeting House launched a program to provide online access to Virginia prisons, permitting the families of prisoners from Northern Virginia to conduct video visitations with loved ones at distant facilities.</p><br>
<p>Among the several buildings adjoining the Meeting House, Flounder House now provides classrooms, meeting space, the church archives, and space for a local non-profit; the Elliot House now houses the church offices; and the Education Building includes classrooms, a large meeting room, and the Meeting House pre-school.</p><br>
<p>While the burial ground on the church property is no longer active, the well-kept Presbyterian Cemetery, which has been in continuous use for more than two centuries, continues to function as an active cemetery. In 2008, the Cemetery opened a columbarium to accommodate the interment of cremated remains.</p><br>

<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
<p>San Pedro Springs Park is located in the Bexar County city of San Antonio in the USA state of Texas. Surrounding the source of the springs, the 46-acre park is the oldest in the state of Texas. It is the location of a Payaya Indian village known as Yanaguana,</p><br>
<p>Although it is often stated that it is the second oldest city park in the United States after Boston Common, it is at most the tenth oldest after Plaza de la Constitución in San Augustine, Florida among others.</p><br>
<h2>History, first European contact, founding of San Antonio</h2><br>
<p>Archaeological findings have uncovered evidence that human presence in the area dates back 12,000 years. Martín de Alarcón founded the city of San Antonio by establishing San Antonio de Valero and Presidio San Antonio de Bexar at the Springs in 1718. When the Canary Islanders began arriving in 1731, they first camped in this area.</p><br>
<h2>The park</h2><br>
<p>Based on the original Spanish land grant, the city of San Antonios first surveyor Francois P. Giraud defined the parks boundaries in 1851. The city officially declared it a public park in 1852, making it the oldest park in the state of Texas. In 1860, Sam Houston stopped here to deliver a two-hour speech opposing the proposed Texas secession from the United States. During the Civil War the park was used as a prisoner of war camp. After the Civil War, Buffalo Soldiers used the park as a training camp.</p><br>
<p>Swiss landscape designer John J. Duerler leased land adjacent to the park, and reached an 1864 agreement with the city to redesign the park. Duerler developed the park with landscaping, a garden, picnic areas, a zoo and aviary, a music pavilion, and even a racetrack. Naturalist Gustave Jermy opened the Museum of Natural History in the park in 1885. The park suffered in 1891 when wells dug into the Edwards Aquifer dwindled the parks water supply. Between 1897 and 1899, the park was renovated under the direction of Mayor Bryan Callaghan. Beginning just before World War II, the water needs of a burgeoning population once again decreased water levels, drying up the springs for the next 35 years. When excessive rainfalls during the 1990s replenished the parks water supply, the public once again became interested in the park.</p><br>
<p>Park facilities include a gazebo, swimming pool, restrooms, softball and tennis areas, a playground, a skate plaza, the San Pedro Library, and the San Pedro Playhouse</p><br>

<p>The Berry House is a historic house at 5805 North Farm Loop Road, near Palmer, Alaska. It is a simple -story wood-frame structure with a gable roof. It was designed by architect and community planner David Williams, and built in 1935 as part of the Matanuska Valley Colony project. Despite a rearward extension in 1971, the building is a well-preserved example of the type of housing built as part of this New Deal project. The house is named for James Berry, one of the project participants who was the house&#39;s third occupant.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991. It is owned by the National Outdoor Leadership School.</p><br>
<p>Lockport Industrial District is a national historic district located at Lockport in Niagara County, New York. The district features the two sets of Erie Canal locks constructed in 1859 and 1909–1918, respectively known as the Northern Tier and Southern Tier.

<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.</p><br>
<p>The buildings at 744–750 Broadway in Albany, New York, United States, sometimes known as Broadway Row, are four brick row houses on the northwest corner of the intersection with Wilson Street. They were built over a period of 40 years in the 19th century, using a variety of architectural styles reflecting the times they were built in. At that time the neighborhood, known as the Fifth Ward, was undergoing rapid expansion due to the Erie Canal and the city&#39;s subsequent industrialization.</p><br>
<p>Many rowhouses lined that section of Broadway during that time. Today only these four remain, following years of demolition and urban renewal. In 1987 they were listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>Property</h2><br>
<p>The Broadway-Wilson intersection is just north of downtown Albany. The four houses are opposite the Edward O&#39;Neill Federal Building to the south. The Broadway-Livingston Avenue Historic District is one block to the north. The lots along Broadway north of this row are vacant.</p><br>
<p>All four buildings share the same basic form. They are three stories tall, three bays wide with a raised basement. Their main entrances open to main hallways on the side.</p><br>
<p>The buildings differ in their ornamentation. The two southern rowhouses, 744 and 746, are an identical pair with sandstone facing on their foundations. Stone stoops with wrought iron railings lead to entrances framed by sandstone architraves and molded pilasters topped by a molded entablature. Sandstone is also used for the window trim. Along the roofline they have denticulated cornices and a plain frieze. Both are topped by paired chimneys on the southern side.</p><br>
<p>The house at 748 Broadway has rusticated sandstone on its basement. Doric columns frame its entrance, and there is much marble molding. Its windows are done in flat molded wood. It is the only one of the four to not have a flat roof, instead rising to a shallow-pitched gable.</p><br>
<p>Rusticated sandstone also finishes the basement of 750 Broadway, which has the most elaborate decoration of the four. Sandstone is also used for its balustraded steps, leading to a double-doored paneled entrance topped by a transom. Its windowsills are bracketed, with finials on the lintels. An oriel above the entrance is heavily decorated, and its roof comes to a bracketed cornice with an ornate frieze.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>At the time of Albanys incorporation in 1686, Clinton Avenue was the citys northern boundary. Eighty years later, Stephen Van Rensselaer II, patroon of the surrounding lands, had the area just north of the city surveyed and laid out a grid plan covering the area from Clinton to North Ferry and west from the Hudson River to Northern Boulevard. This became, in 1795, the Town of Colonie.</p><br>
<p>The area grew, and by 1815 had a thousand residents. They petitioned to be annexed to Albany that year, and became the citys Fifth Ward. Ten years later, the completion of the Erie Canal, which reached the Hudson a few blocks north of Broadway and Wilson, spurred the citys economy, and development of the Fifth Ward increased as nearby harbor and rail facilities were expanded and built over time, along with the industries that took advantage of the canals presence. The citys population nearly doubled in a decade.</p><br>
<p>Broadway north of Clinton became a residential area for the citys affluent families, and George Talcott, a retired Army colonel, built 748 Broadway in 1833 in a late vernacular application of the Federal style with some more current Greek Revival decorative touches. His family lived there for many years. It remains one of the citys most sophisticated examples of the combination of those two styles.</p><br>
<p>Eight years later, in 1841, Sanford Cobb, the city chamberlain, built the two houses at 744 and 746 Broadway. Their Greek Revival touches went beyond the doorway to the buildings cornice as well. Members of the Van Schaick family, one of Albanys oldest, later lived in 744.</p><br>
<p>The lot at 750 remained undeveloped until 1875, when Jacob Sager, a manufacturer of window trim, built his house there. Its decoration reflects the Italianate style common for late 19th-century urban American townhouses, with a sweeping balustrade and bracketed cornice. His family lived there for the rest of the century.</p><br>
<p>Most of Broadway&#39;s rowhouses were demolished over the course of the mid- and late 20th century, many for urban renewal. The construction of the federal office building to the south in 1969 eliminated the only other large section. These four long remained intact private residences. Recently, a local developer has renovated them with the intent of leasing 14,000 ft&sup2; as office space.</p><br>
<p>Lowertown Historic District is a national historic district located at Lockport in Niagara County, New York. The district is predominantly residential in nature, with some commercial structures and warehouses. The most elegant homes are along Market Street, east of Chapel Street, facing the Erie Canal. Notable structures in this district include the Western Block Company Warehouse, a -story stone structure built before 1855; Lockport Bank Building built in 1829, and located at 315-319 Market Street; Washington Hunt House, built in 1831 and home to New York Governor Washington Hunt, and located at 363 Market Street; the former Christ Episcopal Church at 425 Market Street; and the Vine Street School, an Italianate style one-room school built in 1864.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.</p><br>
<p>The Federal Office Building  is a residential building in the West Village of Manhattan, New York City. It was built in 1892–1899 to designs by Willoughby J. Edbrooke.</p><br>
<p>The ten-story Romanesque style building is bounded by Christopher, Greenwich, Barrow, and Washington Streets. Though Edbrooke died before the completion of the building, his influence and the influence of the Chicago School of Architecture is evident.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The construction of the building was authorized by Congress in 1888. Construction began under the direction of supervising architect Edbrooke in 1892, comprising the first two floors of the building. This work was completed in 1894. An additional eight floors were added from 1896 to 1898, under the direction of William Martin Aiken, supervising architect from 1895 to 1897. Construction was completed in 1898 by his successor, James Knox Taylor. The building served as a storehouse, in which customs agents would examine and assess imported goods to set valuations and duties. The building was used to this end until the 1930s, when the government converted it into an office building, the United States Federal Building. This housed offices of several government agencies, including the National Archives and Records Administration. These agencies moved out in the 1970s and 1980s, and the building was sold to the Urban Development Corporation in 1982 and leased to Rockrose Partners.</p><br>
<p>The building was converted for residential uses, and is now known as The Archive, after its former tenant. This work was completed in 1988, the architects for the conversion being Warner, Burns, Toan, Lunde.</p><br>
<p>Timothy Knapp House and Milton Cemetery is a historic district at 265 Rye Beach Avenue and Milton Road in Rye, New York.</p><br>
<p>The earliest part of the Timothy Knapp House was built around 1670, and the site was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
<p>The Timothy Knapp House is considered the oldest residential property in Westchester County, New York, having been built in the 1660s. The property has been owned by only 5 families between 1663 and 1992, when it was acquired by the Rye Historical Society. The Milton Cemetery, across the Street from the Knapp House, is Rye&#39;s first public burying ground. The house, surrounding gardens and adjacent Milton Cemetery are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Thomas Studwell, one of the original settlers of the village of Rye, New York built a house on the Rye Beach Ave. property in 1663. At the time, the town of Rye was part of Connecticut. He traded houses with Timothy Knapp of Stamford, CT, who then built the foundations of the current structure as a two-room residence between 1667 and 1670. Knapp was the deputy to the General Court in Hartford, Connecticut, as a Town Constable and Tax Collector. He was also a vestryman of Grace Church in Rye.</p><br>
<p>Ezekiel Halsted, a wealthy landowner originally from Long Island, purchased the property from Timothy Knapp&#39;s sons in 1746. He expanded the house, adding a second floor using "post-and-beam" construction with a sloping roof in the back containing a dining room and kitchen, which gave the house the distinctive saltbox architecture. The Halsted family lived in the house for the next 157 years.</p><br>
<p>In 1906, Simeon Ford, co-owner of the Grand Union Hotel in Manhattan and a real estate developer, purchased the Knapp House. Julia Lauren Ford, his daughter, was an internationally known religious artist whose work is included in the collections of the Metropolitan Museum, the Art Institute of Chicago and the Corcoran Gallery in Washington. Miss Ford was responsible for all three 20th-century additions to the house, including a studio, a greenhouse and an aviary. Lauren was also helped in the founding of the Benedictine Abbey of Regina Laudis in Connecticut, which became the basis for the film Come to the Stable, written by Clare Boothe Luce.</p><br>
<p>Before moving to Connecticut in 1940, Ms. Ford rented the house to the Matthew Taylors, whose descendants purchased it in 1969 and owned the property until it was sold to the Rye Historical Society in 1992 for $320,000.</p><br>
<h2>Milton Cemetery</h2><br>
<p>The Milton Cemetery is a one-acre public burying ground originally part of the Knapp estate, located on the west side of Milton Street across from the Knapp House. The oldest tombstone is that of Nehemiah Webb who was buried in 1722. It is now owned and maintained by the City of Rye and no longer in use.</p><br>
<h2>Archives and gardens</h2><br>
<p>The Timothy Knapp House contains the Rye Historical Society Archives, including about 15,000 documents, maps, pictures, books and pamphlets. The Kay Donahue Memorial Garden is a historic kitchen/herb garden with authentic plantings maintained by the Little Garden Club.</p><br>
<h2>Preservation and landmark status</h2><br>
<p>The House and Cemetery were placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
<p>The Rye Historical Society purchased the Knapp House in 1992, while the Cemetery was deeded to the City of Rye.</p><br>

<p>The Arlington Reservoir is a large water storage tank located on Park Circle in Arlington, Massachusetts. It was constructed by the Metropolitan Water Works  between 1921 and 1924 in the Classical Revival style, to provide water storage for Northern Extra-High Service area, consisting of Lexington and the higher elevations of Belmont and Arlington.</p><br>
<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In 1895, the Town of Arlington constructed a 550,000 gallon standpipe at this location. However, after Arlington joined the Metropolitan Water District in 1899, the tank soon proved to be inadequate to supply other nearby towns, and was only used to regulate water pressure in the area. The current 2,000,000 gallon tank, contained within a stone rotunda, was built between 1921 and 1924 by Crane Construction Company, with William E. Foss as chief engineer.</p><br>
<p>The water tower was designed by Frederic E. Low, of Arlington, and its construction was funded by the Robbins sisters, also of Arlington. The design was inspired by elements of Greek Doric style, "but the tower is not an enlarged replica of any specific round temple of the ancient world".</p><br>
<h2>In the Community</h2><br>
<p>On September 7, 2014, Luminarium Dance Company created a community arts event celebrating 90 years since the Arlington Reservoir&#39;s completion. Roughly 300 locals attended the event entitled "Night at the Tower," showcasing a live dance performance on the lawn combined with colossal video projections on the tower. This was the first event of its kind to be held at the Arlington Reservoir, and included 75 Arlington-inspired images created by local youth and adults over the past decade by the Arlington Center for the Arts. "Night at the Tower" was created and led by Luminarium Artistic Director and Arlington local Merli V. Guerra and was supported in part by a grant from the Arlington Cultural Council, a local agency, which is supported by the Massachusetts Cultural Council, a state agency.</p><br>
