<p>The USA Post Office in Nyack, New York, is located on South Broadway in the center of the village. It serves the 10960 ZIP Code, which covers South Nyack and Upper Nyack in addition to the village.</p><br>
<p>It was built in 1932 in the Classical Revival architectural style, a mode rarely used for American post offices between the wars. In the front lobby are several murals depicting scenes from local history. In 1988 it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and in 2004 it was renamed to honor three victims of the 1981 Brinks robbery.</p><br>
<h2>Building</h2><br>
<p>The post office is situated near the northwest corner of the intersection of Broadway and Hudson Avenue. The neighborhood is a mix of commercial, residential and institutional properties. A row of three-story brick buildings faces it from the south side of Hudson. A house is located on the north side of its driveway.</p><br>
<p>It is a one-story building of buff-colored brick in Flemish bond on a raised limestone-clad basement. The east (front) elevation is a central pavilion five bays wide with single-bay wings on either end. Limestone is also used for its quoins and window trim, including recessed panels above and below each one. A cornice of that material with blocks and parapet marks the roofline. "UNITED STATES POST OFFICE NYACK NEW YORK 10960" is set in gilded metallic letters on the frieze.</p><br>
<p>The three-bay side wings have similar limestone decorations save the cornice and recessed panels. The four-bay rear ends in a loading dock.</p><br>
<p>A set of stairs with neoclassical bronze railings and low stone walls with claw-footed tripod lamps leads up to the centrally located main entrance. They lead to a single metal and glass door, with transom of similar material, recessed between two fluted Doric pilasters with a full Doric entablature. After passing through a wooden vestibule and small foyer, they open onto a lobby floored with terrazzo in a checkerboard pattern and grey-veined white marble wainscoting to a height of seven feet (2.3 m) on the plaster walls, which have a decorative cornice.</p><br>
<p>On all sides but the west, there are murals by Jacob Getlar Smith of scenes from local history: Native Americans watching Henry Hudson sailing upriver in the Halve Maen, Dutch settlers building a log cabin and John André meeting Benedict Arnold. The north and east murals have decorative grilles as well. Two original circular bronze-and-glass customer tables remain.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The first post office in the Nyacks was established as part of a store at a landing now in Upper Nyack, in 1835. When the Erie Railroad was completed through the area in 1870, it was put within commuting distance of New York City, and grew as residents who had previously come for the summer built large houses overlooking the Hudson River to the east and lived there year-round.</p><br>
<p>Congress authorized a permanent post office for the village in 1910, but it was never built. In 1926 it was reauthorized and, as the Great Depression started, construction finally began in 1931. It was opened the following year.</p><br>
<p>It was designed under the leadership of James Wetmore, then Acting Supervising Architect of the Treasury Department. Wetmore was primarily a lawyer, and the actual artistic direction of the Treasury at the time was set by Louis A. Simon, who became Supervising Architect himself in 1935. The choice of a building so firmly in the Classical Revival style is an unusual one for the time. After World War I, the Treasury, which oversaw the design and construction of post offices and many other government buildings, began preferring the newer Colonial Revival style for its post offices, particularly those in small towns like Nyack. Neoclassical touches were often combined with modernist forms for post offices in larger cities (such as Troy&#39;s).</p><br>
<p>Smiths murals were added in 1936. He had planned for them to cover all walls and be complemented by a series of smaller panels above the tellers booths. If those were ever completed and installed, they have since been removed.</p><br>
<p>The interior has been altered only by the addition of modern heating systems and lockboxes. On the outside, a new door has replaced the original double bronze doors and a wheelchair ramp has been installed across the front of the building to comply with wheelchair accessibility requirements.</p><br>
<p>In 2004 Senator Charles Schumer and Representative Eliot Engel secured passage of legislation officially renaming it the "Edward J. O&#39;Grady, Jr., Waverly Brown, Peter Paige Post Office Building"— in memory of two local police officers and a security guard killed by members of the Black Liberation Army during the 1981 Brinks robbery at nearby Nanuet Mall. A ceremony was held in May of that year, at which relatives of the deceased spoke.</p><br>
<p>Monument Circle Historic District is a national historic district located at Warsaw in Wyoming County, New York. The district consists of 18 acre and includes a broad range of architecturally significant resources. It encompasses 21 late 19th and early 20th century civic, religious, and domestic properties. Highlights include the Soldiers and Sailors Monument , Warsaw Public Library , Augustus Frank House , Wyoming County Courthouse , County Sheriff&#39;s Office and Jail , and United Methodist Church .</p><br>
<p>The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.</p><br>
<p>Wyoming Village Historic District is a national historic district located at the Village of Wyoming in Wyoming County, New York. The district covers about 45 acre and is organized as a New England village around a small triangular village green. The T-shaped district includes approximately 72 historic registered structures along two principal streets, Main and Academy Streets.</p><br>
<p>According to the National Register of Historic Places, classes of historic significance include Architecture, Education, Social/Humanitarian and Town Planning. Of interest in architectural classification are: Greek Revival, Victorian, Colonial Revival, Gothic, and French Provincial. The district&#39;s NRHP Reference Number is 74001326.</p><br>
<p>The majority of the houses in the historic district date from the second quarter of the 19th century and were mostly built by small tradesman, merchants and retired farmers. The two rows of century-old maples that line Maple Street stand among the simple frame houses.</p><br>
<p>The district&#39;s dominant structures are the Presbyterian Church (1830), Fire Tower (1902), Wyoming Inn (1838), Bryant Fleming House (1910) and Village Hall (1902). The historic Middlebury Academy has been listed separately on the National Register of Historic Places since 1974.</p><br>
<h2>District plan</h2><br>
<p>Wyoming Village Historic District is organized much like a New England village around a small triangular green. The T-shaped district includes approximately seventy structures along the two principal village thoroughfares: Main and Academy Streets.</p><br>
<p>The district boundaries are drawn to include the heart of the community where the 1838 Wyoming Inn (#1 S. Academy Street), the turn-of-the century bank (#5 S. Academy) a series of stores, the village "Fire Tower" (#10 Tower Road) and the Presbyterian Church (#1 N. Academy St.) are clustered around the triangular green.</p><br>
<p>The village nickname is "The Gaslight Village" because it is lit day and night by 30 gas lamps which use natural gas drawn from near-by shallow gas pockets under a 99-year contract.</p><br>
<h2>Architectural influences</h2><br>
<h3>Federal style</h3><br>
<p>Houses in the district show Federal influence and are generally two-story frame buildings with center doorway, five bays wide on the front facade and usually one bay wide on the sides. The notable examples of this style are:</p><br>
<p>The Newell-Bradley-Bishop House at #73 Main Street,</p><br>
<p>the Dillon House at #14 S. Academy Street,</p><br>
<p>the Cushing-Hooker House at #30 S. Academy Street, and</p><br>
<p>the Chad Ewell-Squires House at #31 Main Street.</p><br>
<p>The most dominant building on the village green is the Presbyterian Church. This steepled, white church is a western New York State adaptation of the New England Church-on-the-Green. A large frame building, it was completed in 1830 and has some Federal features (simple front door and fanlight) as well as some later influences (the narrow paired windows lighting the nave). The interior was remodeled in 1852 and the spire rebuilt in 1870.</p><br>
<h3>Greek Revival style</h3><br>
<p>The 1817 Middlebury Academy (listed separately on the National Register) is known for its monumental Greek Revival portico which was probably added several years later. Some federal style exists in other elements.</p><br>
<p>Two other buildings in the district have prominent Greek Revival characteristics:</p><br>
<p>The Ferris-Arnold House (#6 N. Academy Street), a -story frame building on an unusually high basement, flush board siding with quoined treatment in wood delineating the three front bays, front entrance with side lights and transom, high front porch with paired fluted columns, balustrade along roofline. On the interior, wallpaper depicts scenes from Sir Walter Scott novels. Formal gardens still evident on south side of house.</p><br>
<p>The Dodson-Swanson House (#36 Main Street), a large two-story house with centered four-bay-wide Doric portico, flanking wings with pitches also supported by fluted Doric columns. Side wings were probably enlarged to present two-story heights later in 19th century, or early 20th century.</p><br>
<h2>Significant or unusual structures</h2><br>
<p>Seaver-Trumpfheller House (#14 N. Academy St.) is a -story asymmetrical frame house with Victorian barge boards and other elaborate carving around windows and entrance porch.</p><br>
<p>#46 Main Street was built as the first district schoolhouse in Wyoming, operated since 1916 as a farm supply and hardware store by a family named Handyside. It has a simple one-story structure with narrow clapboards, three bays wide, simple doorway, gable roof with considerable overhang, and louvered cupola.</p><br>
<p>Ianella-Dutton House (#32 Main Street) – two-story frame house with elegant woodwork on porches and in gables similar to #14 N. Academy.</p><br>
<p>Warren-Main House (#31 S. Academy) – -story board-and-batten cottage with gothic trim at the gables. Early twentieth-century colonial revival porch added by architect Bryant Fleming</p><br>
<p>The Main Street churches both burned late in the 19th century. The Baptists replaced their church at #28 Main Street with a substantial brick building about 1876. The Methodist Church at #16 Main Street was built in 1893 and is a frame building with Gothic detailing, finials, and pointed windows.</p><br>
<p>Fire Tower on Tower Road is a -story brick building with a steeply pitched pagoda-like roof. It was built in 1902 as the village fire station and as a companion structure to the Village Hall. Both were a gift to the community from the Lydia Avery Coonley-Ward family who lived just outside the village at the historic Hillside estate. The tower was renovated with a German clock in the 1990s.</p><br>
<p>Village Hall on Academy Street is a brick building of French provincial architecture. It was built in 1902 along with the Fire Tower as a gift to the village from the Lydia Avery Coonley-Ward family who intended it to be a community center for the fine arts and sciences. On the first floor is a lobby, clubroom, kitchen, and an assembly room. The assembly room is a 2-story space of about 60x40 feet, with ceiling buttresses running up to high dormer windows and rather sharply sloping roofs. Room fixtures include built-in bench seating, fireplace, and a performance stage. The stages proscenium arch is flanked by elaborate black teak timbers once part of the King of Siams exhibit at the 1893 Worlds Columbian Exposition in Chicago. On the mezzanine is a musicians gallery and cloakroom. On the second floor is a small museum containing an original 1902–1906 natural history cabinet collection by Mr. Henry A. Ward. A basement contains additional assembly space, toilet facilities, and storage. Village Hall grounds include about 3 acres with mature trees, a carriage house (private residence) and a segment of Gulf Creek.</p><br>
<p>Middlebury Academy on Academy Street was a college preparatory school for boys. Bryant Fleming&#39;s architecture office was in the Academy during his construction of the Hillside estate for Lydia Avery Coonley.</p><br>

<p>Silver Lake Institute Historic District is a national historic district located at Silver Lake in Wyoming County, New York. The district consists of 13 acre and is historically significant because of its association with the Silver Lake Institute, a Methodist-affiliated camp facility established in 1873. The properties reflect the evolution of the institute from a Methodist Revivalist summer camp in the 1870s and 1880s to a cultural, educational, and religious summer institute in the Chautauqua tradition during the 1880s and 1890s, and finally to a secular summer cottage community in the early 20th century. The focal point of the community is the 2.03 acre Burt Park and the district includes 72 additional properties including 70 cottages.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.</p><br>
<p>The Silver Lake Institute (SLI) was officially re-confirmed in the court action of making SLI an independent organization separate from the Methodist Church. This charter change was re-stated in NYS Supreme Court, Warsaw, NY, on Feb. 2, 2016.</p><br>
<p>The Bartlett Historic District is a historic district in Bartlett, Texas, that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The district consists of a two block area of early 20th century commercial row buildings centered along E. Clark Street and is bounded on the east by State Highway 95 and on the west by railroad tracks. Evie Street dissects the district, and the boundaries extend one block north and one half block south along Evie to include virtually all of Bartlett&#39;s commercial buildings.</p><br>
<p>The Bartlett Historic District stands as a cohesive grouping of early 1900s commercial buildings and reflects the towns prosperity achieved during the early 20th century as a cotton shipping center in central Texas. Presenting a remarkably intact main street, the district includes the core of the citys past and present commercial activities within a well-defined boundary. Particularly noteworthy is the high percentage of contributing structures within the district—88%. Although many of the buildings remain in fair condition, few have been significantly altered.</p><br>
<p>US Post Office-Wellsville is a historic post office building located at Wellsville in Allegany County, New York. It was designed and built in 1931–1933. It is one of a number of post offices in New York State designed by consulting architects Murphy & Olmsted to the Office of the Supervising Architect of the Treasury Department. It is a two-story, brick clad structure on a limestone clad foundation with two one-story wings. The structure is in the Classical Revival style. The interior includes two bas relief panels; one depicting the first League of Peace of the Iroquois tribes and the second depicting Mary Jemison, "White Woman of the Genesee." It is located across from Wellsville Erie Depot.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.</p><br>
<p>Christ Episcopal Church is a historic Episcopal church in Belvidere, Allegany County, New York. The Gothic Revival style frame church was built in 1860 and features Carpenter Gothic elements. It is a one-story board and batten clad rectangular structure with a slate gable roof.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974. At the time, it was classified within the Episcopal Church as a "Chapel at Ease," meaning it did not host regular services (those had ceased in the 1930s) but hosted two semi-annual services, one in June and the other in September, staffed by clergy from the Episcopal Churches in surrounding communities. It was officially deconsecrated after the June 2018 service and turned over to a community foundation, which will operate the building as the multi-purpose Belvidere Cornerstone.</p><br>
<p>Belvidere, also known as Villa Belvidere, is a historic home located in Angelica, near Belmont, Allegany County, New York. Built in 1804 from plans attributed to Benjamin Henry Latrobe, it is an outstanding example of Federal architecture. The mansion was constructed for early settler John Barker Church, former English Member of Parliament and brother-in-law of Alexander Hamilton through his wife Angelica Schuyler Church.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>Belvidere is a large stone-and-brick mansion with a -story central block over a partial basement, a 2-story-over-basement east wing, and -story service wing. The house contains 30 rooms and 13 fireplaces. Also on the five-acre site are a nine-sided barn and hexagonal tea house, which was built in 1806.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972.</p><br>
<p>The USA Post Office in Haverstraw, New York, is located on Main Street in the center of the village. It serves the ZIP Code 10927, which covers the village.</p><br>
<p>It was built in the mid-1930s as a New Deal project. Like many other post offices from that era, it is a brick building in the Colonial Revival architectural style. It features a high level of ornamentation, possibly due to the influence of James Farley, a native of the Haverstraw area who was Postmaster General at that time. In 1988 it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>Building</h2><br>
<p>The post office is located on the south side of Main between Front and South streets, across from the Haverstraw King&#39;s Daughters Public Library. To the east the land slopes gently down through a park to the Hudson River a short distance away. Houses are located to the west and south.</p><br>
<p>Its square main block is a one-story, five-bay structure of brick in Flemish bond with an east wing and a slightly projecting pavilion on the north (front) elevation. The flat roof is topped with a cornice and parapet.</p><br>
<p>Fenestration on the front pavilion consists of three round-arched openings. All are flanked by limestone Greek Revival-inspired Corinthian pilasters with a similar keystone in the arch. Above the pilasters on the facade is a frieze with rosettes at the ends and "UNITED STATES POST OFFICE" in carved lettering.</p><br>
<p>The windows at the sides of the pavilion have a Federal style carved garland lintel, recessed panel above and rusticated piers on the sides. The south and west facades follow a similar pattern. On the east is a wing with a loading dock.</p><br>
<p>Granite steps and a wheelchair ramp lead up to the main entrance, modern aluminum doors between two Doric pilasters supporting an entablature with swans-neck pediment. It leads into a wooden vestibule with carved rosettes and triglyphs, which opens onto the main lobby. There, terrazzo flooring is complemented by panelled wainscoting and plaster walls, ceiling and Gothic cornice. The door to the postmasters office is framed with carved rosettes, sheaves of wheat and dentils.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Haverstraw&#39;s first post office, also the first in Rockland County, was established in 1815. A post office was located on the present site from the 1880s to 1915, and afterwards in a leased location on New Main Street.</p><br>
<p>In 1931 the construction of a new post office in Haverstraw was authorized when Congress passed an amended version of the Public Buildings Act of 1926, in an early attempt to ease the Great Depression. Construction did not begin until 1935, when James Farley, then Postmaster General, a native of nearby Stony Point, laid the cornerstone.</p><br>
<p>Farleys influence may not only have secured funding for the building, it may have affected the design. Most new post offices of the era were also brick Colonial Revival structures, designs often reused in different locations. Haverstraws, designed by Treasury Department Supervising Architect Louis Simon, shares a similar basic form with the Norwich post office upstate, built two years earlier. Few have the intricate ornamentation of Haverstraw&#39;s, with liberal use of limestone and terra cotta.</p><br>
<p>Since its construction there have been some alterations. A balustrade on the roof was removed. All the front window sash save for the window above the main entrance has been replaced, and the loading area was moved from the south to the east. New lockboxes and lighting have also been installed in the lobby.</p><br>
<p>Moses Van Campen House is a historic home located at Angelica in Allegany County, New York. It is a -story, L-shaped brick and frame house with a 2-story addition. It was built around 1809 by Moses Van Campen  and is on a 47 acre property. Van Campen was a Revolutionary War veteran, Indian fighter, and surveyor. He served as judge and justice of peace, and as Allegany county treasurer. It is acknowledged as the first brick structure in the area and one of the earliest extant structures along this road. The road was laid out in 1810 by Van Campen as the original Bath-Olean Turnpike.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004.</p><br>
<p>Wellman House is a historic home located at Friendship in Allegany County, New York. It is a -story, clapboard dwelling constructed in 1835 and remembered as the residence of Col. Abijah Wellman. A Mansard roof was added later to the original house. It is surrounded by three and a half acres of well kept formal gardens and is the centerpiece of the town of Friendship.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.</p><br>
<h2>Colonel Abijah Joslyn Wellman</h2><br>
<p>Colonel Wellman was a great-great-great-great-grandson of Puritan Thomas Wellman. Abijah was born in Friendship on 6 May 1836 and engaged in mercantile business in 1855 and in banking in 1860. In September, 1861, he recruited a company of volunteers for the American Civil War, and was appointed their captain. He was appointed a major when his volunteers became Company C of the 85th New York Volunteer Infantry Regiment, and commissioned a lieutenant colonel on 14 March 1862. He was wounded in the head at the Battle of Seven Pines on 31 May 1862. He was disabled by the wound and honorably discharged 24 March 1863. He married Kate Miner of Friendship on 17 September 1863 and they had five children. He became cashier of the First National Bank of Friendship in 1864 and was elected state senator for Allegany, Livingston, and Wyoming Counties from 1874 to 1877. He was a successful Allegany oil field operator from 1882 until his death in Friendship on 8 June 1889.</p><br>
<p>Old Allegany County Courthouse is a historic courthouse located at Angelica in Allegany County, New York. It was built in 1819 and used until 1892, when the county seat was moved to Belmont, New York. Since then, it has been used as school rooms, church, gymnasium, polling place, and as town offices for the town of Angelica. It is located within the Angelica Park Circle Historic District.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972.</p><br>
<p>Belmont Grange #1243, also known as Andrew McNett Residence, is a historic grange building located at Belmont in Allegany County, New York. It was built about 1860 in the Italianate style by Andrew McNett, an attorney, Civil War veteran, and subsequently the village&#39;s first mayor. The McNett family undertook modifications about 1890 to the Queen Anne style. In 1923, the property was transferred to the Independent Order of Odd Fellows. The Grange purchased the property in 1937.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2006.</p><br>
<p>The Grange Building was demolished in 2021.</p><br>
<p>The Haverstraw King&#39;s Daughters Public Librarys original home, also known as the Fowler Library Building, is located at Main and Allison streets in the village of Haverstraw, New York, United States. It is a red brick building.</p><br>
<p>The library itself, established near the end of the 19th century, is the oldest chartered public library in Rockland County. Shortly after its creation, it moved into the building, combining two contemporary revival architectural styles, after money was raised by the local chapter of the Kings Daughters, a womens civic organization. A similar wing was built in 1983, and in 1991 it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>At the end of the 20th century the library moved into a new main building. The old building&#39;s interior was restored in the mid-2000s and continues to serve as a branch.</p><br>
<h2>Building</h2><br>
<p>The library is located on a small lot at the corner, across from the post office. A granite retaining wall, original to the site and thus considered a contributing resource to the Register listing, runs along the south side. The lot slopes gently toward the Hudson River a short distance to the east. The surrounding buildings are mostly residential.</p><br>
<h3>Exterior</h3><br>
<p>Its main section is a two-story, rectangular structure with a rounded southeast corner, exposed basement and flat roof. The brick is set off by a variety of stone trim: a bluestone water table, sandstone quoins and window trim, and limestone brackets on the overhanging eaves at the roofline. The roof is surfaced in asphalt and pierced by a brick chimney with corbeled cap at the center of the west face.</p><br>
<p>Below the cornice is a limestone frieze decorated with carvings of garlands tied together in ropes and the letters "FOWLER LIBRARY BUILDING" on the south face. The fenestration includes large arched windows at both reading rooms, the adult room on the east side first story and the children&#39;s on the south side of the second story. Another arched window tops the arched main entrance on the corner. All have sandstone voussoirs. The mullions of the reading room windows are Ionic pilasters.</p><br>
<p>The north facade has similarly asymmetrical fenestration, with a projecting bay. On the west is a sympathetic wing built in 1983 in conformance with National Park Service standards. It is also brick with a flat asphalt roof, and has a simple limestone cornice.</p><br>
<p>Two wrought iron gates protect the main entrance. Behind them four bluestone steps, matching those at the street corner, lead up to the vestibule and its tiled floor. The sidelighted oak doors lead into an interior vestibule with similar paneling. A bronze dedication plaque commemorates the librarys opening on May 14, 1903, and lists the names of its principal donor and the societys board of directors at that time.</p><br>
<h3>Interior</h3><br>
<p>The interior layout of both stories remains unchanged, as do many of the finishes. Both the adult rooms downstairs and the children&#39;s rooms upstairs have fireplaces with galzed brick, marbleized tile floors, carved mantels and beveled mirrors. The central stair has oak wainscoting, ash banisters, and newel posts topped with carved urns. The flooring, moldings and plaster walls are all original, as are the bookshelves and most other furniture.</p><br>
<p>On the west wall, the original brick and stone window trim is still visible from the new wing side. The original plaster remains on the other side. In the basement, the brick flooring set in dirt is believed to be that of a hotel building on the site before the library was constructed.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Haverstraw was incorporated in 1854, and quickly grew due to a successful brick industry that tapped the large clay deposits along the river. In 1891 a group of wives of some of the communitys wealthier businessmen organized the Haverstraw Ladies Home Mission Circle. Originally a sewing circle meant to help the villages less fortunate, it soon saw a need for a wider scope. In 1894 a plan for a larger organization was drawn up, and the next year it formally incorporated as the Kings Daughters Society.</p><br>
<p>That year the president of the society suggested the organization set up a public library, a common charitable goal during the Gay Nineties. The members agreed, and petitioned the New York State Board of Regents for a charter. The request was approved, and Melvil Dewey, then director of the New York State Library, signed the charter, making the new library the oldest chartered public library in Rockland County.</p><br>
<p>In 1896, the library opened in Jenkins Hall, to the west of the current building. Two years later, it moved to the National Bank Building at Main and Second streets. Soon the library became popular enough that it was apparent a building of its own was necessary. In 1899, local brickmaker Denton Fowler offered to donate $10,000 ($ in contemporary dollars) toward the purchase of land and the construction of a building to be named after him, as long as it was matched.</p><br>
<p>Nothing happened for three years, as the society was unable to raise additional money. They decided on a smaller building, and two of the members were able to raise the money necessary. Construction began in October 1902, and the library opened seven months later.</p><br>
<p>William H. Parkton, a local architect who had designed many buildings in downtown Haverstraw, was chosen to design the library. He mixed Classical Revival elements like the wide frieze, quoins and pilasters with Renaissance Revival features like the round-arched windows, detailed cornice and rusticated stonework.</p><br>
<p>In 1956 a fire badly damaged the upper floor. The building was repaired, but its entire collection was lost.</p><br>
<p>The area grew, and in 1978 the Thiells branch was opened in a storefront on US 202 further inland to serve patrons in the other areas of the Town of Haverstraw. That same year the state granted the library a new charter as a special library district, giving residents the right to vote on budgets and elect trustees to the board. The Thiells branch soon moved to the basement of Town Hall.</p><br>
<p>In 1983, a combination of state and federal funding helped the library expand the Fowler Building with the west wing. Named after Kay Freeman, the director of the library for 21 years, a condition of the federal contribution was that the wing be architecturally sympathetic with the existing building. The original building&#39;s exterior was also restored during construction, and a wheelchair ramp added.</p><br>
<p>Three years later, the library began looking for land for new facilities, a process that would take it most of the next decade. During the time, the original building was listed on the Register and, in 1993, received an award from the county historical society for continuing use.</p><br>
<p>In 2001 the Town Board approved a subdivision on Rosman Road that would allow the library to build a new main branch at Garnerville. Ground was broken later that year and it opened in 2003. Three years later, the library board closed the Fowler building to restore its interior. It reopened in 2007.</p><br>

<p>The Allen Steinheim Museum is a historic building and former museum located on the campus of Alfred University at Alfred in Allegany County, New York. It is a crenellated stone structure built from 1876 to 1880 to house the "mineral, geological, natural, and man-made curiosities" of Alfred University&#39;s second president Jonathan Allen. The building was originally started by Professor Ida Kenyon, who wished to make a private residence that resembled the castles of her native Germany.</p><br>
<p>The building is constructed of over 8,000 rock specimens that were combined to form the walls of the structure and 700 samples of local and foreign wood to combine the internal framework. When operating in the 1930s, it was considered the second oldest college museum in the United States. The Federal Writers Project described the museum as exhibiting a unique collection of "rare shells, mounted birds and animals, Indian artifacts and pioneer agricultural implements, early American pottery, Steigel and Sandwich glass, and the finest workmanship in the ceramic arts". The building ceased being used as a museum in the early 1950s, was used as classroom space, and then fell into disrepair.</p><br>
<p>After a 1995 renovation and a 1997 dedication, the Steinheim, which is German for "stone house," has since housed the Robert R. McComsey Career Development Center.</p><br>
<p>In 2008, artist Lenka Clayton devoted time to several projects that sought to call attention to the Steinheim Museums absent collection. Among these projects were: ""," that collected a symbolic pile of stones- numbered as if part of a collection- which were then discarded; "", that used an inventory sheet of the dying collection- found in the universitys Special Collections- to create a modern display; and "," where she put a call out for the missing artifacts of the collection in order to photograph them in their current environment.</p><br>

<p>The Joseph Kirkwood House is a historic house in the village of Bridgeport, Ohio, United States. Originally home to one of the area&#39;s oldest families, it was built in the middle of the nineteenth century in a mix of architectural styles. Named a historic site in the 1980s, it has been converted into a health care facility.</p><br>
<p>A native of Delaware, Robert Kirkwood emigrated to present-day Belmont County in 1789 after fighting in the American Revolution; he and his family were among the region&#39;s first settlers. Joseph his son erected the present house in 1846 and arranged for its expansion seven years later by the construction of a large ell to the rear. Set on a foundation of sandstone, the wood-and-brick house is covered with a metal roof. The house combines academic and popular architectural styles: the basic plan is that of an I-house, a vernacular construction mode, although Greek Revival styling is present, especially in the careful symmetry of the five-bay facade. Nine windows fill all bays in both stories, except for the post and lintel-surrounded main entrance in the center of the first story. The fenestration on the side of the original house and on the addition is more irregular: on the second story, a single window sits under the gable, separated by large amounts of brick from a trio of windows at the rear of the ell. Chimneys are placed at both ends of the roofline on the original house, with another such structure in the ell; the roof itself is metal.</p><br>
<p>In early 1986, the Kirkwood House was listed on the National Register of Historic Places; its connection to Joseph Kirkwood qualified it for designation, as did its historically significant architecture. It is one of two National Register-listed locations in Bridgeport: although located largely in Wheeling, West Virginia across the Ohio River, the Wheeling Island Historic District includes the Aetnaville Bridge, which extends into Bridgeport. By the time of listing, the Kirkwood House was no longer used as a typical residence, having been converted into a group home for the mentally retarded, "Thresholds to Tomorrow".</p><br>
<p>The Samuel N. Brown House is a historic residence in southern Dayton, Ohio, United States. Constructed in the 1870s for a prominent industrialist, it has been used for commercial purposes since the 1920s, and it has been named a historic site.</p><br>
<p>Samuel N. Brown, the original resident, was the owner of the Dayton-based firm of S.N. Brown and Company. Founded in 1847, it produced parts for horse-drawn carriages, such as wheel hubs, spokes, and entire wheels. Brown arranged in 1875 for the construction of the house, which was sold to a local hospital in 1920 and operated it until their bankruptcy in 1923. Much of its history has been spent as the location of an antique shop, although for a time in the 2000s it was used by Madisson House, a garment shop.</p><br>
<p>The Brown House rests on a stone foundation and is covered with an asphalt roof; some sections of the walls are weatherboarded. Built in the shape of the letter "T", the house features components such as a tower at the left of the facade, a prominent mansard roof, and a veranda placed around the whole facade. Under the roof, the eaves feature a cornice composed of brackets with frieze. The house is a two-story structure with numerous dormer windows piercing the roof, most of them arched, while the first floor includes tall rectangular windows and some smaller square windows along with arches. Among the smaller details, yet still prominent, is the railing surrounding the top of the tower. Together, these elements produce the appearance of a Second Empire residence.</p><br>
<p>In 1977, the Brown House was listed on the National Register of Historic Places, qualifying because of its historically significant architecture and because of its connection to Samuel Brown. Another National Register-listed property, the Westbrock Funeral Home, is located across the street.</p><br>
<p>The Homestead is a historic house on Hudson Avenue in the village of Haverstraw, New York, United States. It is one of the oldest buildings in the village, dating to the early 19th century.</p><br>
<p>Since then it has been home to a number of prominent local residents, and passed down through two different families. It has been altered slightly, with the original front now the house&#39;s rear, but it remains mostly intact. In 1983 it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>Building</h2><br>
<p>The house sits on a 135 by lot on the east side of Hudson Avenue near the junction with Tor Avenue. The ground slopes steadily down toward the Hudson River to the east, exposing the house&#39;s basement on that elevation. The neighborhood is residential, with a few multiple-unit dwellings.</p><br>
<p>It is a two-story, five-by-two-bay frame structure sided in clapboard. It is topped by a gabled roof shingled in asphalt with a plain cornice. A small kitchen wing extends from the east.</p><br>
<p>All the windows are flanked by louvered shutters. The main entrance is located within a small enclosed porch. Its double inner doors have rose-tinted glass. On the east is a two-story, three-bay open porch with square posts, brackets and a central gable on the roof top. At basement level is a door with sidelights and transom; the first floor&#39;s double door has colonnettes and an architrave.</p><br>
<p>Inside, the floor plan remains unchanged. Finishings are plain and simple with the exception of the main hall and large first floor rooms, which have classically inspired decoration.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>At the time of the Revolution, most of todays Haverstraw was the property of two farmers. One of them, John Denoyelles, had left his lands to his son Peter just before the war. Peter Denoyelles, later to serve in the New York State Assembly and Congress, built the house around the beginning of the 19th century; the exact year is not certain. The areas first Methodists also met with itinerant preachers at the Homestead, due to Denoyelles&#39; interest in that denomination.</p><br>
<p>Peter left the property to his brother Asbury, then the county sheriff, in his will. Asbury sold the property to his brother George in 1853, the year before the village of Haverstraw incorporated. Shortly after that, George sold it to Edward Pye, first president of the Village Board. Pye would later be elected to local judgeships and serve in the state militia. In 1861, as the Civil War was beginning, Pye (who would later die in action at the Battle of Cold Harbor) sold it to his brother Isaac.</p><br>
<p>Isaac&#39;s tenure as owner would be as short as several of the others. He sold it in 1863 to a lawyer, Abraham Conger. Seven years later, George Snedeker bought it. He died in 1873 and willed the house to his wife, who remained until her death in 1901. Their son Samuel inherited the house, passing it to his sister Lucretia Fowler in 1914. She sold it a year later to a woman named Abbie Kennedy, who was the step-grandmother of Eugene Newman. 18-year-old Eugene was the victim in the infamous 1914 Cleary/Newman murder.</p><br>
<p>Kennedy lived in the house until selling it to Aloysius Lynch, a longtime Haverstraw schools superintendent, in 1937. He made many overdue repairs and renovations to the house, and shortened the windows on the east and west sides. As the area grew more suburban in the 20th century, streets were laid out in what had been farmland. Hudson Avenue was located such that the house&#39;s rear elevation had to be converted into its front.</p><br>
<p>The McConnell&#39;s Mill Covered Bridge is an historic, wooden covered bridge that is located in Slippery Rock Township, Lawrence County, Pennsylvania, United States. It spans the Slippery Rock Creek in McConnells Mill State Park, southeast of Rose Point.</p><br>
<h2>History and architectural features</h2><br>
<p>Built in 1874, this historic bridge is a Howe truss that was built on stone foundations and is supported by steel girders.</p><br>
<p>Unlike many Pennsylvania counties, Lawrence County never possessed many covered bridges; perhaps only five such bridges were ever built in the county. Today, only the McConnell&#39;s Mill Covered Bridge and the Banks Covered Bridge near Volant remain.</p><br>
<p>The McConnell&#39;s Mill bridge is particularly significant for its usage of the Howe truss design; it is one of only four extant Howe truss bridges statewide.</p><br>
<p>In 1980, the bridge was recognized for its historical significance by being placed on the National Register of Historic Places, along with the Banks Bridge.</p><br>
<p>The Dayton Fire Department Station No. 16 was a historic fire station on the near east side of Dayton, Ohio, United States. An architectural landmark constructed in the early twentieth century, it was named a historic site seventy years after being built, but it is no longer extant.</p><br>
<p>Built of brick on a brick foundation, the station was covered with an asbestos roof and featured elements of wood and limestone. Most of the building was two-and-a-half stories tall and covered with a hip roof, although aberrations included a polygonal southeastern corner and a tower on the southern side. Three fire doors composed a significant part of the facade. Constructed in 1909,</p><br>
<p>In 1980, Fire Station 16 was listed on the National Register of Historic Places; it qualified for inclusion because of its distinctive architecture, which surpassed that of virtually every other extant fire station in the city. Despite this designation, the station has since been removed, and a recently constructed house occupies its place.</p><br>
<p>The Kelly Family Home is a historic structure at 657 S. Main St. in Dayton, Ohio. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on June 30, 1975.</p><br>
<h2>Historic uses</h2><br>
<p>The house at 657 South Main Street was originally the home of John S. Kelly. The home was built by Kelley&#39;s father in law, Andrew Kinninger who was a local contractor.</p><br>
<p>Kelly was born in Maryland in 1840 and moved to Dayton in 1856. Kelly had been a managing partner of a local bakery and opened his own grocery store. John Kelly died in 1910 and his widow continued living in the house until she died in 1924.</p><br>
<p>The Rudolph Pretzinger House is a historic residence in southern Dayton, Ohio, United States. Constructed in the late nineteenth century for a prominent local pharmacist, it now abuts a city hospital, but it has been named a historic site.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Born in 1847, Rudolph Pretzinger emigrated to the United States with his parents at the age of seven and settled in Dayton. The death of his father in 1863 prompted him to undertake mans work, whereupon he earned a pharmacy degree and began a career that culminated in his ownership of a prominent downtown drugstore, a position in which he remained until his 1909 death. Pretzingers American-born younger brother Albert, one of Daytons leading architects, While the Montgomery County court ruled in his favor, the case was reversed on appeal to the circuit court, but Pretzinger was ultimately victorious on appeal to the Supreme Court. Following Pretzingers death, the property remained the home of his widow.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>Pretzinger&#39;s house is two and a half stories tall, with access through an arched doorway in the center of the facade; although the southern side is longer than the facade, it is pierced by only four windows and no doorways, versus five and one in the facade. A hip roof covers the house, interrupted at points by small gables with miniature Palladian windows. The northwestern corner of the house is a three-story tower with windows on each story, topped with a conical roof. Limestone was used to construct the foundation and for other exterior elements, and the walls are brick and the roof asphalt. Together, these elements lend the house a Queen Anne appearance.</p><br>
<h2>Historic site</h2><br>
<p>In 1979, the Rudolph Pretzinger House was listed on the National Register of Historic Places, qualifying because of its historically significant architecture. While the house remains at the intersection of Main and Apple Streets, as it was during Pretzingers lifetime, the property no longer extends south to Wyoming; most of his land is now the site of Miami Valley Hospital. Two other National Register-listed locations lie within a few minutes walk: the former Eagles Building to the north, and the exposition hall at the county fairgrounds across the street to the southwest.</p><br>
<p>Shawen Acres, also known as the Montgomery County Children&#39;s Home, is a historic complex in Dayton, Ohio. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on October 9, 1991.</p><br>
<p>It was originally designed as an orphans home. Dr. Charles Shawen donated 19 acre to the county March 21, 1926 for "wayward and homeless children." The complex comprises a main building, annex, gym, and 10 English-style cottages in a park-like setting.</p><br>
<p>The Southern Ohio Lunatic Asylum is an historic structure at 2335 Wayne Ave. in Dayton, Ohio. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on November 15, 1979.</p><br>
<p>The 300 acre complex was designed as a mental asylum in accordance with principles advocated by Philadelphia psychiatrist Thomas Story Kirkbride in the mid-19th century. It was renamed the Dayton State Hospital and later the Dayton Mental Health Center.</p><br>
<p>The distinctive main building at the intersection of Wayne and Wilmington avenues is now a retirement center, the hospital farm is now Kettering&#39;s Miami Valley Research Park, and other hospital land is now the site of private homes and Hospice of Dayton.</p><br>

<p>Ourant&#39;s School is a one-room schoolhouse located on Ourant Road, east of Deersville, Ohio. The schoolhouse was placed on the National Register on 1994-03-17.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The schoolhouse was built in 1873 and served the community until 1941. The schoolhouse was purchased by its alumni until it was renovated and restored by Crossroads RC&D. It was then turned over to the Ourant School Memorial Association which maintains the property and currently awards a scholarship to students in the area. The schoolhouse still operates in an educational sense, as each spring a class of second graders spends a day in the one-room setting.</p><br>
<h2>Exterior</h2><br>
<p>The schoolhouse is a simple building constructed of whitewashed boards on a sandstone slab foundation. The entrance is contained in a covered porch with four support posts lining the front facade. The renovations added a wheelchair ramp to the side. The sides of the building contains four double-sashed windows with 12 panels in each window. The high gabled roof supports a square drum with arched openings and capped by a pointed roof. The original school bell is located in the tower with its mountings. A small brick chimney protrudes from the roof in the center of the structure.</p><br>
<p>The schoolhouse is surrounded by three support buildings, including the boys and girls necessaries, as well as a storage building. These were restored at the same time as the schoolhouse.</p><br>
<h2>Interior</h2><br>
<p>The interior of the schoolhouse is furnished with pieces from the 1870s, including the iron worked legs on the oak-top school desks and the large potbelly stove in the center of the room. The coal bucket and scoop are located close to the stove. The teachers desk is located on a dais with a large blackboard behind the teachers desk.</p><br>
<p>The William H. Rose House is located on Tomkins Avenue in Stony Point, New York, United States. It is an ornate Carpenter Gothic-style house from the mid-19th century, with similar outbuildings, built for a wealthy local businessman.</p><br>
<p>In order to preserve it during the construction of a nearby senior citizens&#39; home during the late 20th century, it was moved from its original site a short distance away and rotated. In 1999 it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>Property</h2><br>
<p>The house is located on an 0.4 acre lot a short distance east of North Liberty Drive (US 9W/202), at the corner of Tomkins and Roosevelt Place. The ground in the area slopes gently towards the Hudson River to the east. The neighborhood is residential. A senior citizens apartment complex, called Knights Corners, is just to the north.</p><br>
<p>It is a two-and-a-half-story, five-by-three-bay balloon frame house on a concrete foundation topped by a steeply-pitched cross-gabled roof shingled in slate, pierced by two brick chimneys at the sides. The south (front) facade has a porch across the entire first story, with a projecting bay window with scroll-sawn vergeboard above it on the second story. The gable above it has a central arched window, with elaborate vergeboards and finials. A paneled frieze and bracketed cornice adorn the roofline.</p><br>
<p>The two side elevations are identical, with a projecting bay window on the southernmost bay of the first story. The north (rear) elevation also matches the front facade, with the exception of an enclosure on the western third of the porch.</p><br>
<p>Inside, the original layout is almost intact. Much of the original trim remains, including the marble fireplace mantel in each room. One of the fireplaces has a coal stove attached. Many of the original light fixtures remain, hanging from plaster medallions in the ceilings.</p><br>
<p>In back is a carriage house with lines similar to the main building. Its cross-gables have a similar Gothic-arched window, and the roof is topped by a square cupola. Next to it is an unadorned outhouse original to the property. Both are considered contributing resources to the property&#39;s historic character.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The land on which the house stands was originally part of a large tract purchased by Resolvert Waldron in 1751. Very little of the land around Stony Point was arable, and in the early 19th century brickmaking arose as the dominant industry due to the abundant clay underground near the Hudson. Samuel Brewster, a wealthy iron mine owner and descendant of William Brewster, bought the portion inherited by John Waldron, whose farmhouse was on the Rose House&#39;s original site.</p><br>
<p>Brewster bequeathed it to his grandson Richard and his wife Rachel when he died in 1821. Maps and other records from the mid-19th century show the location of the Waldron House and suggest that the Brewsters did not live there, but rather at a house now in the center of town, at what is now the northwest corner of Routes 9W/202 and Main Street. The same records suggest the Waldron House was demolished by a Paul Rose in 1862 to clear the way for a new house. It is possible that the house may have been a speculative venture by the Brewsters, since the market for housing near the river was strong at the time.</p><br>
<p>The design, by an unknown architect, shows the strong posthumous influence of the philosophies of Andrew Jackson Downing and the cottage-type houses he promoted. The decorative vergeboards and steep cross-gabled are common elements in this type of early Gothic Revival house, often called Carpenter Gothic today. When built, it originally occupied a 9.4 acre lot across the street from its present location, and faced north rather than south.</p><br>
<p>Rose, a local brickmaker who left that business to make carriages in New York City, probably bought the home to commute to his business in the city, from which he moved his residence sometime before the Civil War. He bought the house for $5,300 ($ in contemporary dollars), apparently without needing to take out a mortgage.</p><br>
<p>In 1875, he is listed as the owner for the first time. Two years later, he sold it to Minoff Govan, a local physician, while holding the mortgage himself, and bought it back in 1882. The Govans continued to live there, until daughter Edith sold it a Ruth Martz for $1. She held onto the home until 1985, when she was herself living in a New Jersey nursing home. The Housing Development Fund Company, which bought it from her, sold it a month later to a William Helmer.</p><br>
<p>When the Roosevelt House was built, a strong community effort was mounted to preserve the Rose House. Those led to it being sold to Roy Moskoff, once again for $1, on the condition that the house and outbuildings be moved 200 ft across the street and rotated. This was done and the house remains a private residence.</p><br>

The building houses the Franklin Museum which is dedicated to preserving the building and its primary function. The college building was placed on the National Register on May 8, 1987.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>John Walker, an abolitionist and Presbyterian Church minister, established Alma College in New Athens in 1818. The primary function of the college was to promote religion and abolitionist beliefs in the area. The college was renamed Franklin College in 1825, but the college kept its original mission. Over the span of operations the college operated out of several buildings around New Athens.</p><br>
<p>Over the course of over 100 years, the college was key in the education of two governors, eight USA Senators, and nine USA Congressmen and twenty state legislators. The college also graduated Titus Basfield, an African-American student and former slave, as well as several prominent women.</p><br>
<p>The college slowly dwindled until only one building remained, which ceased operations in 1919, due to a decrease in enrollment. The building became affiliated with Muskingum College in New Concord from 1919 until 1927. The New Athens School District purchased the building and operated the high school in the building from 1927 to 1971, the middle school from 1971 to 1987, after which it sat vacant. The Franklin Museum purchased the building in 1992 and opened the building as a museum.</p><br>
<h2>Exterior</h2><br>
<p>The current building, number 5 of the original college layout, sits on a slight hill overlooking Main Street below.

<p>The building rests upon rusticated sandstone blocks with small rectangular windows illuminating the bottom floor. The first and second floors contain large rectangular windows with sandstone casings. On either side of the entrance are three double-sashed windows. The wing projections each contain a palladian window on the main floor with three windows above.</p><br>
<p>The roof is supported by an entablature and overhangs the structure. Decorative brackets line the entablature along the building. The hipped roof is pierced by three dormer windows with the central dormer containing a decorative pediment.
