<p>The Weathersfield Center Historic District encompasses a small cluster of buildings and a historic site at the geographic center of the town of Weathersfield, Windsor County, Vermont, United States. It includes the town&#39;s second church building , the home of its first settled minister, and an early stone animal pound. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Weathersfield is located in southeastern Windsor County, bordering the Connecticut River and New Hampshire to the east. The town was chartered in 1761 and saw modest settlement in the following decade. By the 1790s its population had risen to more than 1,000. Its early residents where Christians, who at first went to religious services at Claremont, New Hampshire, or were visited by traveling ministers. In 1785, the town voted to settle a minister, and built a simple 1-1/2 story Cape style house for him near its geographic center, now near the junction of Weathersfield Center Road and Goulden Ridge Road. Dan Foster was hired, receiving cash and staple goods as compensation. By 1825, when the town reached the height of its 19th-century population (more than 2,000), a Federal-style two-story house was built for the minister, to which the previous house was attached as an ell. This building, standing on the west side of Weathersfield Center Road, is now a historic house museum operated by the local historical society.</p><br>
<p>The towns first church was built near the ministers house in 1787, and was destroyed by fire in 1821. The town responded by building the brick Federal style meeting house, located southeast of the Foster House across Weathersfield Center Road. This building was built to serve both as a religious sanctuary and to house town meetings. It is a restrained example of late Federal architecture, with round-headed door openings on the ground floor, a Palladian window above the central entrance, and a fully pedimented gable above with an arched eyebrow window at its center. Rising from its roof is a multi-stage tower, starting with a square stage featuring a multilight oculus window, an open octagonal belfry above that, and a louvered cupola at the top. The building&#39;s gallery was converted to a full second floor in 1861 to formalize the separation of church and state, with the sanctuary on one level and town facilities on the other.</p><br>
<p>Located near the southern end of the church property is a square stone animal pound. It was probably built in the 1780s, after the introduction of a state law requiring towns to have such structures.</p><br>
<p>The Elephant Packing House was built in 1924, in Fullerton, Orange County, Southern California. Valencia oranges were packed here, from the abundant orchards that then dominated the county. William Wolfskill had developed and extensively planted the Valencia orange here in the 19th century. It is one of the last remaining examples of a citrus packing house in Fullerton.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The packing house was built in 1924 by the Union Pacific Railway to complement its neighboring train station. The 23,000 ft&sup2; packing house first shipped oranges under the Elephant label, and was later leased by grower C.C. Chapman to pack his Old Mission brand oranges.</p><br>
<p>After it fell out of use for orange shipping, the warehouse was used by a lawn furniture distributor. In 1960 the Union Pacific Railway sold the structure, which has been used by a variety of tenants. It was expanded in 1971. The railway station has since been relocated.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The packing house design is predominantly in the Mission Revival Style, with Spanish Colonial Revival Style architectural elements. The main building measures 165 ft by 70 ft, with one story above grade and a full basement. The interior is lighted by two sawtooth roof monitors. The north side faces onto railroad tracks that run immediately adjacent to the packing house.</p><br>
<h2>Railroad shipping</h2><br>
<p>The Elephant Packing House was located on the Union Pacific Railroad line for shipping to the East Coast and elsewhere. The line is no longer in service.</p><br>
<p>A Mission Revival style Union Pacific Railroad railway station (built 1923) was already adjacent. It has been preserved and been moved to the Fullerton Transportation Center, next to the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway station there (built 1930).</p><br>
<p>All three buildings are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>The Zigzag Ranger Station is a Forest Service compound consisting of twenty rustic buildings located in Oregon&#39;s Mount Hood National Forest. It was built as the administrative headquarters for the Zigzag Ranger District. It is located in the small unincorporated community of Zigzag, Oregon. Many of the historic buildings were constructed by the Civilian Conservation Corps between 1933 and 1942. Today, the Forest Service still uses the ranger station as the Zigzag Ranger District headquarters. The ranger station is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In the early 20th century, the forest road networks were not well developed. To facilitate work in National Forests, the Forest Service built district ranger stations at strategic locations within the forest to house full-time employees and provide logistics support to fire patrols and project crews working at remote forest sites. After World War II, the Forest Service greatly expanded its road network, allowing employees to get to most forest areas within a few hours. As a result, many of the more isolated ranger stations were closed or converted to summer guard station. However, the Zigzag Ranger Station has served as a district headquarters since it was built.</p><br>
<p>In 1908, the Forest Service established the Oregon National Forest around Mount Hood in north central Oregon. The first Forest Service building at the Zigzag site was constructed in 1917. Several other buildings were added to the compound in the 1920s. In 1924, a large part of the Oregon National Forest was redesignated as the Mount Hood National Forest; this included the Zigzag Ranger District. In 1933, the Civilian Conservation Corps began doing construction work at the ranger station. Between 1933 and 1942, Civilian Conservation Corps crews built nine ranger station buildings. The Civilian Conservation Corps workers came from nearby Camp Zigzag, and worked under the supervision of Forest Service rangers. All of the buildings constructed during that period were designed by the Forest Service&#39;s Pacific Northwest Regional Architecture Group, and were built in the Cascadian rustic style.</p><br>
<p>Today, the ranger station still serves as the administrative headquarters for the Zigzag Ranger District. There are twenty buildings that make up the ranger station complex. Nineteen of those buildings plus one additional structure (a stone masonry wall built by the Civilian Conservation Corps) are historically important. All of the historic buildings are still in use and are in excellent condition. Because the Zigzag Ranger Station is of unique historic value as an early Forest Service ranger station, the compound and surrounding area was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on 8 April 1986. The historic site covers a total of 125 acre.</p><br>
<h2>Structures</h2><br>
<p>The Ranger&#39;s Office is a two-story, rectangular building, 53 ft across the front and 41 ft along the sides. It has a gabled roof with a stone chimney and no eaves. There are dormers on each side of the roof. The lower half of the office is board-and-batten construction; the upper half is built with horizontal clapboard. The front and back porches have 10-inch-square support posts with curved braces and stone floors.</p><br>
<p>The Ranger&#39;s Residence is a rectangular frame building with stone foundation and a gabled roof. The gables are filled with vertical boards with open pine tree logo cutouts. The front porch is supported by square posts. Next to the residence is a matching Garage with the same siding and tree logo cutouts. In 2007, the Forest Service replaced the old wood shake roofs on both the residence and garage with new heavy wood shakes.</p><br>
<p>The large two-story Bunkhouse also served as a residence for the assistant rangers. Like the office, the bunkhouse has board-and-batten siding on its lower level with horizontal clapboard above. There is an above-ground concrete foundation in the front to make the house level against slightly sloping ground. The front porch is placed off-center. There is also a side porch with an overhanging roof. Both porches are supported by 10-inch-square posts with curved wooden braces.</p><br>
<p>Like the office and bunkhouse, the Fire Warehouse is a two-story frame building with board-and-batten siding on its lower half and horizontal clapboard on the upper half. It has a gable roof with four dormers and no eaves. The front porch has 10 in square posts. There is a garage door entry on the right side of the building. There is also a second-floor side entrance accessed from an outside stairway.</p><br>
<p>There are two Road and Trail Warehouse buildings. The first warehouse is a large rectangular frame building with clapboard siding and sliding garage doors. The second warehouse is a frame building with a saltbox roof. Both buildings are original, but have been altered over time.</p><br>
<p>The Carpenter Shop is a long rectangular building, approximately 80 ft by 45 ft. The shop has a gabled roof with four dormer windows. The two gabled ends project out, creating slight overhangs. There is vertical siding below the overhang with Forest Service pine tree logo cutouts. The rest of the building has clapboard siding. There are large garage doors lining the front of the building.</p><br>
<p>The Gas House is a frame building with shiplap siding and a gable roof. The roof framework is open at the gable ends, and a large projecting overhang shelters the gas pumps and vehicle service area.</p><br>
<h2>Wy&#39;East Rhododendron Gardens</h2><br>
<p>The Wy&#39;East Rhododendron Gardens are located on the grounds of the Zigzag Ranger Station. The gardens were conceived in 1952 as a roadside beautification project. Local nurseries and individual horticulturists donated 100 plants to start the garden. When it was officially dedicated on 24 May 1953, the garden had grown to 235 rhododendron plants. James P. Langdon, the Zigzag District Ranger at the time, donated additional trees and shrubs from his private nursery to complement the rhododendrons, including the rare Dawn Redwood.</p><br>
<p>While not all the original plants survived, Wy&#39;East Rhododendron Gardens still have examples of 50 different types of rhododendron and over 150 other plants. The gardens offer an opportunity to enjoy many trees and shrubs native to the Mount Hood National Forest at one location as well as many non-native plant species. The grounds are open year-round for self-guided tours. A garden map that show where to find all 50 rhododendron varieties is available at the Zigzag district office.</p><br>
<h2>Location</h2><br>
<p>The Zigzag Ranger Station is in eastern Clackamas County, Oregon surrounded by the Mount Hood National Forest. The elevation at the site is 1,460 ft above sea level. The forest around the ranger station is made up of Douglas fir, Western red cedar, big leaf maple, vine maple, red alder, cascara buckthorn, and Pacific dogwood.</p><br>
<p>The Zigzag Ranger Station is located 45 mi east of Portland, Oregon in the small unincorporated community of Zigzag. The ranger station is just off USA Highway 26. The ranger station has facilities on both sides of the highway; however, the office and most of the historic buildings are located on the south side of the highway along with the Wy&#39;East Rhododendron Gardens.</p><br>
<p>The Lace House, also known as the Uriah Edwards House, is located on state highway NY 22 in Canaan, New York, United States. It is a frame house built in the early 19th century.</p><br>
<p>It was designed by the Fuller Brothers in a more formal version of the Federal style brought from New England by settlers from that region at the time of its construction. The original kitchen wing was replaced in the early 20th century. The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.</p><br>
<h2>Building</h2><br>
<p>The house and a non-contributing garage are located on a 1.4 acre lot on the east side of Route 22, just across from Miller Road and a mile north of the New York State Thruway&#39;s Berkshire extension (Interstate 90). The cleared ground slopes up to the east, towards the Massachusetts state line 1.5 mi to the east, across the hill. A row of wooden fence posts runs along the roadside. The neighborhood, the small hamlet of Flatbrook, has some scattered commercial and residential buildings.</p><br>
<p>The building itself is a two-story, five-bay structure sided in pine clapboard on a drywall stone foundation. A wing of similar height projects to the south. Brick chimneys rise from either end; a large television antenna is just south of the northern chimney piercing the shingled roof.</p><br>
<p>A small set of steps on the west (front) facade rises to a single-bay portico sheltering the centrally located main entrance with a gabled roof supported by paired wooden fluted pillars. The pediment has a denticulated entablature. It is echoed by a less ornate portico over the rear entrance.</p><br>
<p>Fluted pilasters rise to the frieze between the last bays on either end and the rest of the windows. The frieze, decorated with medallions and dentils, runs around all sides of the main block except the east (rear). All the windows have at least one louvered shutter. Many still have the original shutter hooks. The corners have pilasters as well; on the southwest is a small satellite dish.</p><br>
<p>The south wing has a full-length porch across the front. Another chimney rises from its south end. Its roof is clad in metal.</p><br>
<p>Another pair of fluted pilasters flanks the main doorway, which is topped by a large fanlight. It opens onto a center hall running the length of the house. The interior has much original trim, including plaster, carved moldings and mantels. The dining room&#39;s ceiling has been redone in tile. Some of the original wide-plank flooring remains.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Uriah Edwards, a native of nearby Richmond, Massachusetts, moved across the state line in 1800 at the age of 31 to work as a clerk in Flatbrook. After a short return to Richmond, he returned in 1802 to open his own store. Two years later he wed a local woman, Betsy Olmsted, a descendant of one of the original settlers of Canaan who also owned vast tracts of land to the south and west of the current house.</p><br>
<p>The house was built two years after their marriage. Unlike other contemporary Federal-style houses in Columbia County, it is extensively ornamented. It follows a unique regional pattern found in vernacular rural early Federal houses in New York communities near Connecticut and Massachusetts, such as the Tabor-Wing House in Dover Plains, of having most of that decoration lavished on the porch. Its overall decoration gave it the nickname "Lace House" shortly after its construction, and it has been locally known by that name ever since.</p><br>
<p>Edwards would later sell some of his land to the new Albany and West Stockbridge Railroad, later the Hudson and Berkshire and then the Boston and Albany Railroad, the first to connect the two states. He opened a station known variously as Edwards park or Edwards Station until it was demolished in the mid-20th century. He was active in local politics, serving as town supervisor, town justice, and state assemblyman before he died in 1851. His wife survived him by 16 years.</p><br>
<p>Upon her death, her sister-in-law Lucinda Edwards Woodworth inherited the house. She soon left it to her own daughter, who had married into another prominent local family, the Curtises. One of her descendants, Harriet Curtis, conveyed it to Rufus Woodworth, a neighbor. When she died, her executor brought suit to have the conveyance voided. The house stood vacant for several years, with the kitchen wing on the south deteriorating, until the litigation was settled in 1921.</p><br>
<p>William Edwards sold the property soon after to a family named Rathbun, who demolished the original kitchen wing and replaced it with the current one. At this point they also moved the chimneys and replaced the original wood shingle roof with metal. They also dug a new well and had the house wired for electricity.</p><br>
<p>After 60 years, their descendants sold it to another family, the Brusches. They proceeded to renovate the house in 1983. Most of their work upgraded the house, bringing its electricity and water connections to late 20th century standards, and refinishing the interior and exterior. Their major addition was the rear portico. After the work was done and the property listed on the Register, they operated it as a bed and breakfast.</p><br>
<p>The Waverly Historic District is a national historic district that is centered roughly on Academy Street and Abington Road, and which encompasses Carbondale Road, Beech, Cole, Church and Dearborn streets in Waverly Township, Pennsylvania.</p><br>
<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2004.</p><br>
<h2>History and architectural features</h2><br>
<p>Historic functions of the district include domestic buildings, at least one religious structure, commerce and trade, education and recreation and culture. The district was built circa 1928, and is significant for its architecture. Architectural styles include late Victorian, late nineteenth and early twentieth-century American movements. Architects include George M.D. Lewis and Ephraim Ross.</p><br>
<p>This district was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2004.</p><br>
<p>St. Agnes Cemetery is a 108 acre Roman Catholic cemetery established in 1867. Located in Menands, New York, St. Agnes Cemetery is managed and cared for by Albany Diocesan Cemeteries.</p><br>
<p>St. Agnes Cemetery was consecrated in 1867 and has features characteristic of the rural cemetery movement. Like other landscapes of this genre, St. Agnes Cemetery was designed to portray order, symmetry, and peace. The history of the Capital Region is written on memorials throughout St. Agnes Cemetery.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2008.</p><br>

<p>The First Hancock County Courthouse is a historic courthouse in Findlay, Ohio, United States. Built in 1833, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976. it is a simple frame structure of no particular architectural style. With the exception of the main entrance, the building&#39;s elements are purely functional: its shape is simply rectangular with no ornamental details, except for a decorative transom and sidelights framing the main entrance.</p><br>
<p>It was originally erected in Findlay upon the southwest corner of Main and Putnam (Crawford) Streets. The contract to build the courthouse was awarded to Wilson Vance, Frederick Henderson, and Jonathion Parker in January 1832 for the sum of $700. Following construction, it was plastered by Parlee Carlin in the autumn of 1833. It was used until a second, more permanent courthouse was completed in 1842 on the southwest corner of Main and West Cross (the precursor to Findlays current courthouse). In addition to being an early courthouse, it also was utilized as both a schoolhouse and a church. After the building of a more permanent courthouse, the First Hancock County Courthouse was sold and moved to various locations throughout the city where it became a variety of hotels. It currently rests at 819 Park Street in Findlay. During Hancock Countys natural gas boom in the late nineteenth century, many property owners in the city modified their houses by the installation of natural gas central heating and lighting, but few buildings had previously experienced the benefits of natural gas. One of the few exceptions was the old courthouse — it was the first house in the city to have natural gas installed.</p><br>
<p>In 1976, the First Hancock County Courthouse was listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It was the third building in Hancock County to be listed on the Register, following the Jasper G. Hull House and the current courthouse.</p><br>
<p>The Captain William Vicary House is a historic mansion in Beaver County, Pennsylvania, United States. Located at 1235 3rd Ave. in the borough of Freedom, the house lies along the community&#39;s main street above the Ohio River.</p><br>
<h2>Overview</h2><br>
<p>A United States Navy captain during the War of 1812, Vicary was rewarded by the government for his services with 500 acre of land in the Northwest Territory. After settling in Sewickley, Vicary met members of the Harmony Society, which had recently established Old Economy Village along the Ohio below Pittsburgh. Consequently, Vicary bought 604 acre of land near Economy, where he platted a community called "St. Clair" and began to build a stone mansion in 1826. Vicary employed local builders to use locally mined sandstone to construct his house; it was completed in 1829 at a cost of over $4,000. Disputes with one of his builders led to a lawsuit that reached the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania and was not finally settled until after Vicarys death in 1842. Vicarys descendants lived in the house until 1912, but the house was not sold until 1924; after that date, it passed through a succession of owners before being condemned for the construction of Route 65 in the 1960s. A grassroots campaign resulted in its survival, and today the house is owned by Beaver County and occupied by the Beaver County Historical Research and Landmarks Foundation.</p><br>
<p>In 1974, the house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places for its architectural integrity. Significant aspects of the structure include its exterior and double chimneys; however, major modifications during the twentieth century included the removal of a large fireplace and the division of the house into apartments. The exterior stonework has been seen as particularly significant — the large stone blocks are believed to be the work of skilled masons, and are of a quality rarely seen in Western Pennsylvania in the early nineteenth century. A twentieth-century porch sits on the front of the mansion, and a cast-iron fence surrounds the property.</p><br>
<p>Today, the Vicary House is operated as a historic house museum.</p><br>
<p>The current Graham County Courthouse is a courthouse at 800 W. Main St. in Safford, Arizona that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It is a two-story red brick building above a concrete foundation that includes a raised basement. The main part of the east-facing building is 83 ft by 62 ft, and there is a one-story 17 ft by 49 ft north wing made of brick, and a small ell in the back.</p><br>
<p>It is the fifth courthouse of the county, following one in Safford during 1881–83, two in Solomonville, Arizona during 1883–1915, and the 1901 Riggs building at Main and Central in Safford during 1915–16. After Arizona achieved statehood in 1912, Safford was chosen as the location for Graham&#39;s county seat in a 1915 election, moving it four miles west from Solomonville, the county seat since 1883. A$50,000 bond was authorized to finance construction of a courthouse with courtrooms, offices, and jail. The Classic Revival/Neo-Classic style courthouse was built in 1916. Its construction cost $44,404.</p><br>
<p>J. A. McAllister, a justice in the Arizona Supreme Court, and Jesse A. Udall, a chief justice of the Arizona Supreme Court, began their careers here.</p><br>
<p>In 1982, the interior public areas retained the original wooden moldings, interior doors, door trim, and wainscoting, and wooden balustrade and newel post of the main staircase. An ell at the back, 29 ft by 49 ft, that held a jail, was demolished in 1978, leaving markings from where it joined on the current small ell at the back.</p><br>
<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
<p>Although the building is historic, it still serves as location of Graham County&#39;s Superior Court, in 2016.</p><br>
<h2>Architectural Significance</h2><br>
<p>The Neo Classic design of the Graham County Courthouse encapsulates the democratic symbolism inherent in Neoclassical architecture and establishes a connection between the building and other county courthouses in Arizona constructed during the early twentieth century. Neoclassical architecture was deliberately chosen to represent the democratic roots of the nation and was closely associated with the rising civic pride and nationalism during the turn of the twentieth century. The Neoclassical style emerged as the predominant national choice for public buildings, particularly those designated for government purposes, such as courthouses, schools, and city halls. This choice was especially fitting for Arizona, a state that had recently achieved statehood in 1912, and its citizens were eager to declare their new status. This enthusiasm is beautifully reflected in the architectural design of the Graham County Courthouse.</p><br>
<p>From a statewide perspective, the extensive adoption of the Neoclassical style for civic buildings is well-documented through Arizona&#39;s county courthouses. Between 1895 and 1918, ten Arizona counties erected courthouses, with eight of them featuring variations of Neoclassical architectural design. Collectively, these structures constitute a statewide representation of Neoclassical architecture and its prevalence in public buildings during the early twentieth century. The Graham County Courthouse is an integral part of this collective architectural statement.</p><br>
<p>The architects responsible for the design of the Graham County Courthouse, Royal W. Lescher and John Rinker Kibbey, played a significant role in shaping the early twentieth-century architectural landscape of Arizona. They designed numerous public buildings across the state, including the Mohave County Courthouse in Kingman, constructed in 1915. This courthouse, designed by Lescher and Kibbey, showcases a modest Neoclassical design that is architecturally akin to the Graham County Courthouse. Furthermore, the influence of Lescher and Kibbey extended to other structures in the Safford area. While working on the Graham County Courthouse in 1916, they were commissioned to design elementary schools in nearby communities such as Thatcher and Klondyke.</p><br>
<p>The strategic placement of the courthouse in Safford adds to its significance. Positioned within a meticulously landscaped public square at the end of Main Street, the courthouse stands as a pivotal architectural feature in the surrounding downtown area. This location not only accentuates the buildings presence but also amplifies its historical and contemporary importance to both Safford and Graham County as a symbol of the countys governance. As the Graham County Courthouse continues to serve as the county offices, retaining its original architectural design, it contributes to the preservation of the historic context and the visual identity of downtown Safford.</p><br>
<p>The Thomas Marshall House is a historic house in Dayton, Armstrong County, Pennsylvania. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on April 22, 1976.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The house was built around 1865–1868 with a Georgian plan. The architecture mixes general Victorian themes with elements of the earlier Greek Revival in a vernacular manner. An addition was added to the house in 1881.</p><br>
<p>As of 2013, it is home to the Dayton Area Local History Society, and is open for tours by appointment. It was restored by the Dayton Area Bicentennial Committee, which opened it in July 1976.</p><br>
<p>The Richmond County Courthouse is a 1919 municipal courthouse in the civic center of St. George on Staten Island in New York City. It serves Richmond County, which is coextensive with the borough of Staten Island. The neoclassical style courthouse is on Richmond Terrace next to Staten Island&#39;s Borough Hall and across the street from the St. George Terminal of the Staten Island Ferry.</p><br>
<p>Richmond County Surrogates Court is located in the building. The building also houses the Matrimonial Parts of State Supreme Court for the states 13th Judicial District. It housed some other civil parts and the Criminal Parts of that court, as well as the office of its administrative judge, until they moved to a new courthouse at 26 Central Avenue, nearby, which opened on September 28, 2015.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Construction of the Richmond County Courthouse was begun on December 27, 1913, but was delayed by the advent of World War I. The building finally opened on November 3, 1919, to replace the 1837 Third County Courthouse several miles away.</p><br>
<p>In 1919 the building housed one Supreme Court justice and one Surrogate who also acted as a justice of City Court, as well as the County Clerk and the District Attorney. County records were placed in the building and a law library was established the following year. The District Attorney moved out in 1979. The County Clerk, with the county records, moved across the street to 130 Stuyvesant Place in 1999, with the law library following in 2000. The Supreme Court, with the exception of the Matrimonial Parts, moved to the new fifth County Courthouse in late 2015.</p><br>
<p>The building is a New York City Landmark and is on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>Design</h2><br>
<p>Designed by the well-known architectural firm of Carrere and Hastings, who had earlier designed the neighboring 1906 Borough Hall, the building&#39;s architectural style has been variously described as Roman-inspired neoclassical, or Renaissance Revival with a Greek Revival portico. The L-shaped building is built on a hill sloping upwards from the harbor and shares the block with Borough Hall, from which it is separated on its front or harbor side by a formal French garden. A sweeping flight of stairs leads up from Richmond Terrace to a temple front pediment supported by six large Corinthian columns.</p><br>
<p>The Hyde County Courthouse is a historic courthouse building located at Swan Quarter, Hyde County, North Carolina. It was built in 1854–1855, and is a two-story, T-shaped stuccoed brick building. It has a Victorian-style corbelled mousetooth cornice and ornately turned brackets. The courthouse was remodeled in 1878 and 1909 and drastically renovated in 1964.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.</p><br>
<p>St. Mark&#39;s Episcopal Church is a historic Episcopal church located at Huntersville, North Carolina. The church was built in 1886–1887, and is a small rural "English country Gothic" style brick church. It has a cross-shaped plan with a three-bay-long nave, a pair of small single-bay side wings, and a one-bay chancel. Also on the property is the wood-frame parsonage; a two-story L-shaped dwelling with a Victorian doorway and porch trim. It was built about 1897.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984, with a boundary increase in 1991.</p><br>
<p>The Mount Zion United Methodist Church is a historic Methodist church located near Crabtree, Haywood County, North Carolina. It was built in 1883, and is a three bay by four bay rectangular gable front brick church. The church has been altered significantly during three separate rehabilitation projects undertaken since 1950. It is probably the oldest church building remaining in Haywood County.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.</p><br>
<p>Friendly Hills, also known as Margaret Culkin Banning House, is a historic estate located near Tryon, Polk County, North Carolina. The house was built in 1924, and is a large, two-story, Tudor Revival style dwelling with stuccoed exterior walls decorated with hewn, half timbering.

<p>The Taftsville Historic District encompasses a historic 19th-century industrial village that is mostly in Woodstock, Vermont. Flanking the Ottauquechee River and extending up Happy Valley Road, the area developed around a metal tool factory established by members of the Taft family in 1793. Important elements from its early history include the Taftsville Store, built by the Taft family in 1840, and the Taftsville Covered Bridge, built in 1836. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2001.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The village of Taftsville is centered around the junction of United States Route 4 and Happy Valley Road in far eastern Woodstock. It extends along secondary roads (mainly Happy Valley Road and Sugar Hill Road), and includes properties neighboring Hartland and Hartford, both just east of Woodstock. The majority of its buildings are residential in character, and were built in the 19th century. They are typically wood frame structures either 1-1/2 or 2-1/2 stories in height, although there are a few brick houses. The villages industrial past is primarily recalled by the dam across the Ottauquechee River, which now powers a hydroelectric plant on the rivers southern bank, adjacent to the covered bridge. The Taftsville Store, built in 1840, is a prominent landmark on US 4, a major transport artery in the area. A former school building, now serving as a Mennonite chapel, stands on Happy Valley Road; it was built in 1911, and has Colonial Revival features.</p><br>
<p>Settlement of the village began in 1793, when Stephen Taft, a native of Uxbridge, Massachusetts arrived. He and two of his brothers dammed the river, established a sawmill on the north bank, and a metalworking shop in the south bank, producing scythes, axes, and other tools in the latter. The business was a success, and flourished into the late 19th century despite its original main building&#39;s destruction by fire in 1811. The surviving covered bridge was built in 1836 to handle increasing traffic (across an earlier footbridge), and the store was built in 1840. It is unclear if the Tafts built the store as a place to sell their wares, or as a service to their growing number of employees. The village was originally more roughly divided between Woodstock and Hartland, but a town boundary adjustment in 1851 placed most of the village into Woodstock.</p><br>
<p>The Lands End Plantation, also known as James Robert Alexander House, is a historic plantation at 1 Lands End Land in rural southeastern Pulaski County, Arkansas, off Arkansas Highway 161 south of Scott. It is a 5,000 acre working plantation, located on the banks of the Arkansas River. The main plantation complex includes a 1925 Tudor Revival house, designed by John Parks Almand, and more than 20 outbuildings. AR 161, which passes close to the main house, is lined by pecan trees planted about 1900 by James Robert Alexander, the plantation owner.</p><br>
<p>The house and a 54 acre portion of the estate was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.</p><br>
<p>The Waterloo Historic District encompasses the site of one of the first mills on the Warner River, near the Waterloo Falls in Warner, New Hampshire. The 50 acre district includes most of the original 60 acre land grant for the mill site. It extends along Waterloo Street and Newmarket Street for a length of about 1 mi, from where Newmarket Street crosses the Warner River to where Waterloo Street crosses a brook. In addition to its industrial history, the district is notable for being home to two nationally known politicians: William E. Chandler , who served as United States Senator and as United States Secretary of the Navy, and Nehemiah G. Ordway , the seventh governor of the Dakota Territory.</p><br>
<p>This part of Warner was first sold off for development in the 1770s, and the first sawmill was operating by 1789. The oldest surviving house in the district, a -story Cape style house, was built in 1791, and a significant number of houses in the district were built before 1820. William Chandlers house, purchased by him in 1872, was built in 1805, and he purchased a nearby 1820s house for staff he needed for entertaining high-profile guests. Nehemiah Ordways house, at the corner of Newmarket and Waterloo, was built in 1828, but was restyled in the early 20th century to give it a Colonial Revival appearance.</p><br>
<p>Several non-residential buildings have survived, although most have been repurposed into residences. The Bean Tavern is a Georgian structure built in 1793. Two structures that served as train stations survive, one built in 1849, which was moved a short distance to make way for the second, built in 1910. The principal surviving industrial building is the 1836 Chandler Mill, whose surviving -story portion stands off Newmarket Street between the railroad tracks and the river. Remnants of earlier mill foundations lie nearby. The district also includes a cemetery (1815), and a c. 1810 one-room schoolhouse.</p><br>
<p>The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2003. It also includes the Waterloo Covered Bridge, a separately-listed bridge which carries Newmarket Street over the river.</p><br>
<p>The Thomas L. Kane Memorial Chapel is a historic church located in Kane, Pennsylvania, in McKean County. The small, stone Gothic Revival chapel was constructed from 1876 to 1878 and was dedicated to the American Civil War General Thomas L. Kane, a founder of Kane. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on March 29, 1978.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The church was designed by Henry J. Taylor of Philadelphia and was the first Presbyterian church in McKean County. The church was dedicated to General Kane, who had donated the land for the church, and was situated such that the congregation would be facing in the direction of Jerusalem. Kane died in 1883 and, at his request, was interred outside the church, between the two front entrances.</p><br>
<p>The church was purchased by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) in 1970, to function as a memorial to Kane, who was a supporter of the Mormons and had acted as a mediator between the Mormons and the federal government. The church also functions as a branch of the Family History Library. A replica of the statue of Kane in the Utah State Capitol was placed outside the church.</p><br>
<p>On August 1, 2014, the LDS Church donated the church to the Kane Historic Preservation Society as part of the celebration of the 150th anniversary of the founding of Kane.</p><br>
<p>Anoatok , now Kane Manor Inn, is an historic residence which is located in Kane, Pennsylvania, in McKean County. Commissioned by the author, physician and womens rights activist Elizabeth Dennistoun Wood Kane , one of the first women to enroll in the Medical College of Pennsylvania and the widow of American Civil War General Thomas L. Kane , the home was erected in 1896 after being designed for Elizabeth Kane by Cope & Stewardson, one of the most prominent architecture firms of the late 1800s and early 1900s. The mansions name alludes to the exploits of her late brother-in-law and Arctic explorer Elisha Kent Kane.</p><br>
<p>This property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on January 7, 1986.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>After the destruction by fire of her familys home in Kane, Pennsylvania in 1896, author, physician and womens rights activist Elizabeth Dennistoun Wood Kane, one of the first women to enroll in the Medical College of Pennsylvania,</p><br>
<p>Following Elizabeth Kanes death at the mansion in 1909, ownership of the residence was awarded to her sons Evan and Thomas, the latter of whom moved out after a new home was completed for him in 1910 by Cope & Stewardson. Anoatok was then converted into an inn by Evans son, Elisha Kent Kane III, during the mid-1930s. Sold by the family to an outside party in 1983. In 2003, the home was sold to David Krieg of Wilcox who then sold the property to Ben and Dr. Debra Miller (2020) who currently own the home and operate it as the Kane Manor Inn.</p><br>
<h2>Architectural features</h2><br>
<p>According to Richard F. Bly, president of Commonwealth Historic Properties, Inc. and the individual who prepared the nomination form on August 19, 1985, to secure placement of this property on the National Register of Historic Places, Anoatok was "the most prominent residence in Kane" during the 1980s, due as much to its design and craftsmanship, as to its placement on land which was 2,040 feet above sea level. Erected in such a way that it afforded its inhabitants "a spectacular view of the South Branch Kinzua Creek Valley," the residence remained "virtually unaltered in its overall floor plan since being erected in 1897-97." Designed in the Georgian Colonial Revival style by Cope & Stewardson, Elizabeth Kanes three-story, 18,000 square foot, rectangular brick frame residence was erected on a cut sandstone foundation, and had "a buff face brick exterior" which employed bricks that had been manufactured by the Kane Brick Company in nearby Sergeant, Pennsylvania. The brown-shingled hip roof was built with three small dormers "encasing one window each on both the eastern and western exposures," and a north-to-south-running widows walk was built on the roofs apex. "The two parallel railings of turned wood balusters painted white and between two solid buff brick cupolas." In addition, each of the buildings exposures was adorned with a cut stone frieze, which "served as the sill for all second story windows."</p><br>
<p>Marlowe Elementary School was built in 1922 as an eight-room school to serve grades 1 through 8 in Marlowe, West Virginia. The new school allowed a number of one-room schools in the area to be closed.</p><br>
<p>The Marlowe School is a two-story brick building on a concrete base. As originally built there were four rooms on each of the two main levels, with a cafeteria and mechanical rooms in the basement. Each classroom was provided with a coatroom. Windows were concentrated on the front and rear of the building with sparsely fenestrated ends. A central stairway serves all levels. The classrooms retain their original wood wainscoting and much of their original character. One story additions have been added to the rear from the 1970s on. The building presently serves grades K through 3 as a primary school.</p><br>
<p>The school was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2006 as the Marlowe Consolidated School.</p><br>
<p>The Cedar Point Light is a restored lighthouse on the grounds of the Cedar Point in Sandusky, Ohio, United States. The original lighthouse at the site was built in 1838, and a front range light was added to the station in 1853. A new lighthouse, the structure which stands today, was completed in 1862. This light served as a navigational aid until 1909, in which year the light tower was removed from atop the dwelling. In the ensuing years it was kept in use by the federal government as a buoy depot, a radio beacon station and a search and rescue boat station. These last duties were transferred to Marblehead Coast Guard Station in 1975, and the Cedar Point station was discontinued. Cedar Point Amusement Park acquired the structure in 1987 and spent the decade refurbishing the dwelling and reconstructing the light tower. The lighthouse opened as part of a vacation cottage development in 2001.</p><br>
<p>The Cedar Point Light was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.</p><br>

<p>The OTO Homestead and Dude Ranch was the first dude ranch in the US state of Montana. It was started by James Norris  Randall and his wife Dora after they purchased squatters rights on a small cabin along Cedar Creek in the Absaroka Mountains. The original cabin had a dirt floor cabin with a sod roof. Randall courted wealthy eastern clients  and by 1912 they came to the OTO to experience a "genuine" western ranch lifestyle. The property grew to meet the needs of guests and by the 1920s included an impressive lodge , cabins, barns, post office, and outbuildings. Notable guests included Theodore Roosevelt and Marcellus Hartley Dodge, Jr.</p><br>
<p>The Randalls sold the OTO in 1934 to Chan Libby (a former guest). In 1939 the OTO closed its dude ranching operations permanently. After its 1939 closing the property was sold to John Paul and Jessie Shields, who owned for more than 30 years and worked it as cattle and horse ranch. Two of their granddaughters would come and spend summers with them and go to the OTO, Gayle (Shields) Terry and Nikki Shields. They sold it to the Elk Foundation in 1989. The 3,265 acre (1,321 hectare) property was eventually acquired by the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation, who donated it (1991) to the United States Forest Service (Gallatin National Forest District). In 2004 the site was listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and buildings are currently undergoing renovations with labor provided by volunteer groups including Passport in Time, Elderhostel and Amizade.Gallatin Nation Forest News Release., Gallatin Forest Supervisor Signs OTO Ranch</p><br>

<p>The Sterling Hill Historic District in Bridgeport, Connecticut is a historic district that was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Sterling Hill is located on the northwest side of Bridgeports Golden Hill. It is named for Sylvanus Sterling, a saddle manufacturer in the early 19th century, whose house still stands on Milne Street, and who developed the area following Bridgeports incorporation in 1821. Early development of the area provided homes for wealthy local businessmen, who liked the views from the hillside over the developing port and business center. In the 1830s, the construction of the first railroad through Bridgeport brought an influx of Irish laborers, with tenement-style housing accompanying the subdivision of the older residences into multiunit housing. Growth continued after the Civil War, when gentrification replaced many tenement-style buildings with more stylish late Victorian multiunit buildings. Urban renewal claimed a significant portion of the neighborhood in the 20th century, but the area roughly bounded Pequonnock Street, Harral Avenue, James Street, and Washington Avenue retains architectural traces of this development history.</p><br>
<p>The Abell-Kilbourne House in Martinsburg, West Virginia is associated with John N. Abell, a prominent Martinsburg businessman and Charles W. Kilbourn, a Martinsburg mill owner. The former president of the Old National Bank, Abell developed the area known as "Abell&#39;s Addition" after his retirement in 1886. At that time Abell lived at 506 West Burke Street.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Abell bought the Winchester Street site in 1895 from D.W. Shaffer for $1075 and completed the house the same year. The surrounding lands were associated with the Martinsburg Mining, Manufacturing and Improvement Company. The electric street railway ran to the rear of the site. Abell lived in the house until his death in 1905. His wife Nora lived there until 1910 when she sold the house to Thomas B. Underhill, who immediately sold it to E.F. Millard. Millard sold the house a year later to John W. Wilen. Wilen sold the house and adjoining lots in 1912 for $3780 to J. M. Rothwell, who then sold the house and lots to Charles W. Kilbourn for $8500. Kilbourn died in 1937 and the house was sold in 1938 to George Martin, who retained the house until 1987.</p><br>
<p>Charles Kilbourn owned the Interwoven Mill in Martinsburg. His father invented a knitting machine and started the Kilbourne Knitting Machine Company in 1899 at the Middlesex Mill in New Jersey. After a fire, Charles Kilbourn, who by then had inherited the operation of the company, relocated to Martinsburg. The Interwoven Mill was the largest manufacturing operation in the Eastern Panhandle of West Virginia.</p><br>
<p>The house is a frame 2½ story Colonial Revival structure. The house&#39;s long axis is arranged perpendicular to the street, from which it is well set back at the top of a rise. The house has a hip roof, with a three-story tower on the right side, and is fronted by a broad porch that wraps around to either side. The tower houses the main stairs. The porch features low-key Eastlake detailing. Windows in the attic contain colored novelty glass. A unique feature in the pantry is a built-in refrigerator in the pantry. Other unusual features are the windows set in the floor of the second floor storage room, which allow light into the room from the porch ceiling below. The basement contains a cistern.</p><br>
<p>A garage, barn and servants&#39; residence are also associated with the house.</p><br>
<p>The Alvin Miller House is a Usonian home beside the Cedar River in Charles City, Iowa. It was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright and constructed over a five-year period completed in 1951. The single-story structure features a two-level flat roof which allows for clerestory windows. It was severely damaged in the flood of 2008. Restoration efforts surrounding the house after the flooding are detailed in the Alvin Miller House website.</p><br>
<p>According to the National Park Service document on the seven Iowa Usonian homes: "The third Iowa Usonian, the Alvin Miller House in Charles City, was designed in the same year as the Grant House but was not built until 1951-1952. The Miller House</p><br>
<p>was featured in Wrights The Natural House;&#39; it is the smallest of the Iowa Usonians; and, unlike the Walter and Grant houses, the Miller House has a much sturdier, less radical character."</p><br>
<p>The Douglas and Charlotte Grant House is a historic building located in Marion, Iowa, United States. Located on 40 acres of land, this Frank Lloyd Wright designed Usonian-style dwelling was constructed from 1949 to 1951, with some construction continuing to about 1960. This is one of the first houses in Iowa built in this style, having been completed a year after the Lowell E. Walter House located near Quasqueton, Iowa. The characteristics that mark this as a Wright-designed house include: the house integrated into the site and opened to the outdoors; the use of window walls and horizontal bands of windows; natural lighting and ventilation; use of natural materials; a horizontal emphasis in mass and proportion; a car port in place of a garage; slab-on-grade construction with radiant heat system embedded in the slab; a flat roof; an open-plan interior; varied ceiling heights on the interior; built-in</p><br>
<p>furniture; and 3 large scale fireplaces with a central hearth. The limestone for the house was quarried by the owners on the property. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.</p><br>
<p>The William A. Glasner House, is a Frank Lloyd Wright designed Prairie School home that was constructed in Glencoe, Illinois, United States, in 1905. Glasner led his sister, Emma Pettit, to Wright to design the Pettit Memorial Chapel as a memorial to her deceased husband, Dr. William H. Pettit.</p><br>
<p>The house was threatened with demolition by a real estate developer, but the Frank Lloyd Wright Building Conservancy helped locate a conservation-minded buyer who ultimately purchased the house. It is a 4,300 square feet, four-bedroom, three-bathroom house and sits on a one-acre lot. Jack Reed bought the house in 2003 for $1.5 million and spent $2.5 million restoring it.</p><br>
<p>Ar-Qua Springs, also known as the Thomas Thornbrough House or the Thomas Thornburgh House was built beginning about 1751 near Arden, West Virginia. The house was built by local Quaker elder Thomas Thornbrough, beginning as a one-room, 1½ story limestone rubble house that was quickly expanded with log additions. The house may have been used as a Quaker meeting house during the 18th century.</p><br>
<p>The house in its present state is two stories in five bays with sections of stone and log. A gambrel roof was added to create additional living space on the second floor. The house has been largely unaltered, apart from the 1960s removal of an attached washhouse and fireplace. The original stone section comprises a single room on the lower level with a fireplace, and two rooms on the upper level. The log section contains on its lower level a dining room, den, kitchen, bathroom and laundry. Its upper level contains two bedrooms, a bathroom and a family room. The house pictured is not the actual house.</p><br>
<p>The property includes a two-level stone springhouse. Ar-Qua Springs was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.</p><br>
<p>The Harvey P. Sutton House, also known as the H.P. Sutton House, is a six-bedroom, 4,000 ft&sup2; Frank Lloyd Wright designed Prairie School home at 602 Norris Avenue in McCook, Nebraska. Although the house is known by her husband&#39;s name, Eliza Sutton was the driving force behind the commissioning of Wright for the design in 1905–1907 and the construction of the house in 1907–1908.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<h3>The Suttons get established in McCook</h3><br>
<p>Harvey P. Sutton was born in Naples, New York on July 17, 1860, the son of Joel C. and Sarah (Robinson) Sutton. Educated in Michigan, he became a successful musician in Chicago, but suffered such poor health that he decided he needed to leave. Flipping a coin to determine whether to travel east or west, he moved to Ainsworth in north central Nebraska. There he courted Elizabeth B. Munson, and married Eliza, as she was known, on August 4, 1886. Harvey had left Chicago not long before Frank Lloyd Wright arrived in that burgeoning metropolis, yet 20 years later he and Eliza would become Wright&#39;s clients.</p><br>
<p>The Suttons relocated to McCook in southern Nebraska in 1889, soon after their son Harold was born. Part of the lure of McCook was an opportunity for Harvey to lead the prestigious C.B.& Q. Railroad Concert Band, headquartered there but known throughout the state. The Pawnee Native Americans who had previously occupied the land had been forced to give up the Republican River valley in 1833, but McCook was not founded on its banks until 1882 when the railroad came through. The choice of McCook as a major point on the railroad, and as the headquarters of the concert band, were both due to its being midway from Omaha to Denver.</p><br>
<p>Mr. Sutton led the band from 1889 to 1924, but although he enjoyed his musical career, he needed to earn more money. He followed the example of his brother, Benjamin, who had previously established a successful jewelry business in Dexter, Michigan. Harvey prospered as McCook&#39;s only jewelry store proprietor, later taking his son Harold into the business as his partner in 1908.</p><br>
<h3>The Suttons build a house</h3><br>
<p>The couple acquired a small house seven blocks north of the railroad on the hill overlooking downtown, at what was then known as 602 Main Street. They eventually decided that the house needed to be enlarged. Rather than hiring an informal remodeling job, the Suttons opted to pursue Frank Lloyd Wright as their architect. The connection to Wright was through Elizas friends, Rose Barnes and Mary S. Marlan. Barnes saw the two designs of Wrights published in the Ladies Home Journal in 1901, and showed them to Marlan, who had grown up in Wisconsin and known Wright.</p><br>
<p>The 1901 Ladies&#39; Home Journal designs were influential and have become famous. "A Home in a Prairie Town" was published in February, followed by "A Small House with Lots of Room in It" in July. These were part of a series of designs sponsored by Journal editor Edward W. Bok in a crusade to update US housing designs to better fit the way families were living. Bok was looking for a simplified, functional house, and required designs he published to replace the fussy parlor with a living room, to include at least one bathroom, improved ventilation, and no "senseless ornament". Architectural historian Gwendolyn Wright observes that the publication of these two articles "provided the first opportunity for Frank Lloyd Wright to show his alchemy, converting a simple programme into architectural gold.... The design contains virtually every revolutionary theme he would employ for the next two decades."</p><br>
<p>Writer Grant Manson notes that, although these two Ladies&#39; Home Journal designs were "accorded the widest publicity then possible" and were subsequently to exercise lasting influence on residential design, they resulted in no commissions for Wright, "with one exception, the Sutton house at McCook, Nebraska."</p><br>
<p>Mrs. Rose Barnes and her husband Charles were the first to contact Wright, but Eliza was also interested. Donald Morgan states that in 1903, Charles traveled by train to see Wright in his Oak Park Studio, accompanied by Mrs. Sutton. By 1905, Wright had produced plans for Charles and Rose. Eliza was impressed with these plans, and not only wrote Wright on her own behalf, but also informed Wright that the Barnes had decided not to pursue building.</p><br>
<p>Mrs. Sutton began her several years of corresponding with Wright in his Oak Park Studio, asking him to design an enlargement for the Suttons existing house for no more than $2000. Besides Wright, she corresponded with many of those working in the Oak Park Studio, including Walter Burley Griffin, William Drummond, Barry Byrne, Isabel Roberts, and A.C. Tobin (brother of Wrights wife, Catherine). With the exception of Tobin, all would go on to independent careers as Prairie School architects.</p><br>
<p>Eliza Sutton repeatedly and pointedly asked Wright to be economical. She rejected two plans that incorporated portions of their existing home as not having enough space yet being too expensive, and finally abandoned the idea of salvaging any of the previous house. Eliza eventually agreed to a third design that included all of the six bedrooms she had insisted on from the beginning, making it one of the largest houses in McCook. Wright estimated it would cost $5,000, yet the Suttons ultimately paid $10,000 and were furious. The experience of going well over budget was one shared by most of Wrights clients. Grant Manson puts it kindly when he observes that "Wrights genius was never at home in the realm of the merely economical". More bluntly, Paul Sprague states that "Wright either misrepresented the true cost of his designs, or else simply was unable to ascertain their real cost in advance of construction." Sprague doubts that it was deliberate, and concludes that, although Wright routinely blamed contractors and workers for the over-runs, he was in fact a victim of his approach to architecture. "Even when Wright tried to design simply and inexpensively the artist in him refused to cooperate."</p><br>
<h3>Subsequent history</h3><br>
<p>The Suttons altered the house during their tenure. Eliza Sutton seriously considered adding a library to the house in 1924, but ultimately decided against it. The house suffered a fire in 1932. Of unknown origin, it started in the basement and destroyed the original veranda roof and caused extensive damage to many of the original furnishings. Unable to determine how the highly cantilevered roof had been anchored in the house, local builders changed its location and proportions and added large plastered columns to support its extension. Later, during World War II, the Suttons added stairs up to the balcony in the northeast corner above the main floor bedroom, added a downstairs bathroom, and made alterations to the second floor in order to house Army Air Corps personnel from the nearby air base who needed temporary quarters.</p><br>
<p>Harvey and Eliza Sutton died in 1952, and in 1960 Dr. J. Harold Donaldson purchased the house. Donaldson converted the structure into his medical clinic, making numerous further alterations counter to Wright&#39;s design. These included constructing a small brick addition on the north (rear) side for use as a diagnostic clinic, replacing the original roof with asphalt shingles, and blocking the original entrance into the reception room, using instead the previously private veranda door into what had been the living room. Donaldson also erected a wall of decorative concrete block around the entire property that incorporated lily pools, fish ponds, statues, and fountains featuring cherubs pouring water from vases. However, the changes that were most damaging to the historical fabric of the house involved filling in doors, cutting through oak floors, and adding walls to divide the flowing, interconnected interior into 24 small rooms.</p><br>
<p>Although Donaldson applied for the house to be placed on the National Register of Historic Places, the fate of the house was uncertain when he retired in 1978. At first, Donaldson tried to sell it by auction, but there were no takers. Facing ongoing upkeep and taxes, Donaldson looked into moving it to Lincoln or Omaha, where tourist interest might be stronger. As a last resort, he considered tearing it down and replacing it with an apartment building.</p><br>
<p>Janet and Van Korrell purchased the house when the Cannons left in 1992. Janet had been fascinated with the Wright-designed house for some time, and they quickly tore down the enclosed staircase that the Suttons had added 50 years earlier to get up to the balcony on the back. Determined to restore it as fully as possible, in 1999 they hired John G. Thorpe to oversee the work. Thorpe, a Wright expert, restoration architect, and one of the founders of the Frank Lloyd Wright Trust in Oak Park, Illinois, worked with the original plans and old photos on a complete restoration inside and out, including the Wright-designed cupboards, the ground-level entry, and the daring cantilevered veranda roof. As part of this work, the Korrells elected to build an addition in the previously open northwest corner, balancing the original northeast corner bedroom, but moving away from Wright&#39;s cruciform design. This addition incorporates a modern laundry and a second stairway to the basement.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The house as built is a classic Prairie Style design, consisting of a two-story frame and stucco dwelling.</p><br>
<p>All three designs for the Suttons used a cruciform plan. Architect and architectural historian Robert McCarter cites them as "astonishing variations" on this classic Prairie style layout. The unbuilt first plan was single story with gables, and had the dining room in the west arm of the cross, the library in the opposite east arm, and the living room in the center projecting out into the landscape. The second plan was a "fully developed prairie style solution" with a low-pitched hip roof. In this second design, Wright placed the fireplace in the center of the cruciform, surrounded by a room in each arm and "the space of all four rooms flowing freely around" the hearth.</p><br>
<p>In the third plan, which was finally approved by Mrs. Sutton, the dining room is once again in the west, the reception room in the east, and the living room in the center. However, the three rooms are now all equally wide front to back and the fireplace moved forward from the rear (north) wall, causing the living room to project forward. McCarter calls this an "impacted cruciform" where Wright&#39;s usual cruciform is "folded in on itself, producing an experiential density and tension between the space-defining elements." As a result, the main floor boasts a gracious sweep of the three public rooms, becoming in effect one very large space. In this it bears stylistic similarities to the K. C. DeRhodes House in South Bend and the George Barton House in Buffalo, New York, of this same time period. The kitchen is behind the fireplace in the north arm of the cross, and the sixth bedroom occupies the northeast corner that would be empty in a pure cruciform plan.</p><br>
<p>The narrow axis of the plan faces the street to the east, and the main entrance lies midway along the long side of the plan. The use of hip roofs includes a very large cantilevered hip roof over the living room terrace. The pitch of the main hip roof is shallow enough to give the passer-by on the sidewalk in front of the house the impression that it is a flat roof.</p><br>
<p>The ornamental glass "light screens" in this house were designed by Wright with the assistance of Oak Park Studio draughtswoman, Isabel Roberts, who would later become an architect in her own right. They were fabricated by the Temple Art Glass Company of Chicago, which was the same firm Wright had just used for his renowned Unity Temple (Oak Park, Illinois, 1905).</p><br>
<p>The Sutton House is a private residence, and should be viewed only from the public sidewalks.</p><br>
<p>The Boomtown Historic District comprises the western and southern portions of Martinsburg, West Virginia, generally along the alignments of West King Street and Winchester Avenue, following the general path of the town&#39;s electric streetcar system. It includes a former industrial section of the town, home to a number of textile mills, as well as the housing that was built for mill workers.</p><br>
<p>Boomtown&#39;s central core is along Virginia, West Virginia and Faulkner Avenues, centering on the fountain at Virginia and Faulkner. The area consists of primarily middle-class Victorian-style houses, in contrast to the more modest working-class houses on the opposite side of Winchester Avenue. The greatest building activity took place after 1891, when the Martinsburg Mining and Manufacturing Company developed the area in conjunction with the opening of streetcar service.</p><br>
<p>Industrial buildings include the former homes of the Shenandoah Pants Company, Brooklyn Brass Works and the Interwoven Mills. The Crawford Woolen and Cashmere Mills stand along Stephen Street.</p><br>
<p>The area was designated a historic district in 1980.</p><br>
<p>The Hancock County Courthouse is a historic courthouse in Findlay, Ohio, United States. Built between 1886 and 1888, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.</p><br>
<h2>Early history</h2><br>
<p>The building, as planned in 1885, was to replace a previous brick courthouse located at the same site. When oil and natural gas were discovered in Hancock County shortly thereafter, the Courthouse was given many of its unique and eclectic stylings. On April 17, 1885 the Ohio Legislature authorized the construction of a new courthouse for Hancock County, raising $100,000 in bonds. The cornerstone was laid on August 11, 1886. W.H. Campfield won the initial bid to construct the courthouse enclosure and that was completed by November 1886. Campfield again won the bid for the completion of the project. Amidst delays the project soared from an estimate of $121,890.25 to $305,272.53 (although after refunds on the bonds and interest this blossomed to more than $511,010).</p><br>
<p>On May 30, 1913 the bathtub of Captain Charles Dwight Sigsbee recovered from the shipwreck of the USS Maine was publicly displayed for the first time at the Hancock County Courthouse.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The building measures 82 feet by 142 feet and is 139.5 feet tall from the sidewalk to the top of the county&#39;s namesake and Founding Father John Hancock. The Hancock statue is made of copper and stands next to a pedestal with a law book upon the clock tower. It stands approximately 18 feet tall. In September 1922, during a severe storm the statue was blown off the courthouse and extensively damaged. It was repaired the following year. Below John Hancock sit the three feminine figures, Law, Justice, and Mercy, also made out of copper. The clock tower itself has four faces pointing towards each cardinal direction. Each face measures between 8 and 9 feet in diameter. Originally these clocks had a pendulum, 3000 lb bell, and were hand wound until 1925 when they were electrified. The clock faces and inner works were constructed by the E. Howard & Co.</p><br>
<h2>Renovation</h2><br>
<p>During the 1990s the courthouse underwent an extensive $3 million restoration. The brass railings to both the second and third floors are original to the structure, as well as the brass medallions below the bannisters. Also the ornately tiled floors, floral motif stained glass, and the imposing early Victorian woodwork is original.</p><br>
<h2>Services</h2><br>
<p>It currently houses the Hancock County Common Pleas Court, Clerk of Courts, Law Library, Recorders, Auditors, and Treasurer&#39;s offices.</p><br>
<p>The Boydville Historic District includes an area of Martinsburg, West Virginia that was developed for the well-to-do of Martinsburg at the turn of the twentieth century. The district is named for Boydville, the mansion at the core of the district. The district runs generally along South Queen Street to the south of the Downtown Martinsburg Historic District and to the east of the Boomtown Historic District.</p><br>
<p>The district is associated with a number of figures from the early history of Martinsburg, including General Elisha Boyd, who owned portions of the area in the 1790s, as well as General Adam Stephen, founder of Martinsburg. The principal building in the area is the Boydville mansion, built about 1812. Other significant buildings include the Public Graded School of 1883, now the headquarters for the Berkeley County Board of Education, the Classical Revival 517 South Queen Street, and the Adam Stephen Monument.</p><br>
<p>The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.</p><br>
<p>Green Mountain Seminary is a historic seminary building on Hollow Road in Waterbury Center, Vermont. Built in 1869 as a Free Will Baptist coeducational school, it has seen educational uses since its construction, and is a prominent local example of Italianate architecture. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The former Green Mountain Seminary stands on a rise overlooking Hollow Road to the west, just north of the main intersection at the center of Waterbury Center. It is a -story wood-frame structure built in a T shape, with a cross-gabled roof, clapboarded exterior, and a high stone foundation. The building corners are quoined, and the entrances are sheltered by a hoods with elaborate scrolled brackets. The eaves and gable edges also feature paired brackets. The building originally had a cupola at the center of the roof, but that was torn down in 1941.</p><br>
<p>The seminary building was built in 1869 as a co-educational Free Will Baptist school, with an addition to the south facing part of the structure completed in 1871. As originally laid out, the lower two floors were used for educational purposes and included a chapel, while the third floor and attic level were used for men&#39;s housing. The building went through a variety of educational and boarding uses until 1895, when it was deeded to the town for use as a graded school building. Between 1947 and 1952 the building was the meeting site for the Green Mountain Horology society, whose members restored the historic Riley Whiting grandfather clock. As of 2009 the building is home to the Hunger Mountain Day Care Center and the Waterbury Center Library.</p><br>
<p>Boydville is a late Georgian style mansion in Martinsburg, West Virginia. The house is near the center of the associated Boydville Historic District in 15.35 acre. The house was built in 1812 by Elisha Boyd, a member of the Virginia House of Delegates and an officer of the Fourth Virginia Regiment in the War of 1812.</p><br>
<p>The two story stucco-covered stone house consists of a center wing with nine rooms, a right wing that originally served as the nursery, and a left wing that housed the kitchens. The center-hall main house retains its original woodwork, with hand-carved door frames and mantelpieces imported from England. Interior partitions are brick covered with plaster.</p><br>
<p>Elisha Boyd left the house to his daughter Mary at his death in 1841. Mary was married to Charles J. Faulkner I (1806–1884), was a member of the Virginia House of Delegates who advocated a gradual abolition of slavery and the forcible annexation of Texas from Mexico. Faulkner served as ambassador to France in the James Buchanan administration, 1859–1861. Faulkner was Stonewall Jacksons assistant adjutant-general during the American Civil War, and was temporary president of the West Virginia Constitutional Convention of 1872. Faulkners son, Charles J. Faulkner II (1847–1929) became a United States senator.</p><br>
<p>During the American Civil War Boydville and two other houses were marked for burning by General David Hunter in retaliation for the burning of Maryland Governor Bradfords house. On an hours notice Mary Faulkner obtained an exemption from Abraham Lincoln, saving the house.</p><br>
<p>Boydville was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1970.</p><br>
<h2>Digital Art</h2><br>
<p>In addition, Boydville lends its name to a metaphorical location that is said to store all things "Boyd&quot flawed or otherwise unsound interactive initiatives referred to in the context of digital art and computational or generative design.</p><br>
