<p>Hillcrest is a historic home located at Lima in Livingston County, New York. It is a two-story painted brick dwelling constructed in 1838–1840. Stylistically, the house is a combination of Federal and Greek Revival design entrance. In 1902-1903 the semicircular three-bay portico was added to the front entrance. Also on the property is a gazebo constructed from the remains of the privy and carriage barn.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.</p><br>
<p>The John Reaves House is a historic residence and government building in the village of Freeport, Ohio, United States. Constructed by one of the areas earliest settlers, it was later home to one of Freeports most significant citizens. After years of use as a house, it was converted into non-residential purposes, and it has been named a historic site.</p><br>
<p>Daniel Easley settled at the site of Freeport circa 1804 after migrating from Virginia. The date at which he built the house is unknown, although it was certainly no later than 1820. Later in life, Easley journeyed farther west and established the city of Freeport in Stephenson County, Illinois. Before leaving, he sold his home to the family of John Reaves, who gained a posthumous reputation as one of the villages significant early residents. As a civilian, he was among Harrison Countys earliest teachers, and villagers honored him as the first Harrison County resident to die in the war of the rebellion; he was even the first man in the village to enlist after the fall of Fort Sumter. Reaves home is a small brick building with a central entrance on the facade, as well as a subsidiary side door. The building is one and one-half stories tall, resting on a stone foundation, with walls that rise to side-facing gables topped with chimneys. Following Reaves death, the house was converted into a commercial building; by 1888, it had become home to Freeport&#39;s first bank. In later years, it was later given to village officials, who employed it as the village hall and as a museum. It has since become a library, the Clark Memorial branch of the Cadiz-based Puskarich Public Library.</p><br>
<p>The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places in mid-1977, qualifying because of its historically significant architecture; the oldest surviving building in Freeport, it has experienced very few changes since its construction.</p><br>
<p>The Roswell and Elizabeth Garst Farmstead Historic District is a farm in Guthrie County, Iowa, United States, near the city of Coon Rapids. It is significant as the home of farmer and hybrid corn populizer Roswell Garst. During the 1930s and 1940s, Garst played an active role in the conversion of old-style family farms to modern agribusiness. He was a key marketer of hybrid seed corn, which greatly increased corn yields per acre. Further, he espoused the use of nitrogen and other chemical fertilizers to renew soil so that fields need not be left fallow in order for the soil to replenish, allowing farmers to grow more acres of corn. Additionally, he embraced the use of cellulose from corncobs left after processing seed corn as cattle feed.</p><br>
<p>The farm is also famous as site of a visit on September 23, 1959, by Soviet premier Nikita Khrushchev. The visit was not their first meeting, and it was by Khrushchevs request. Garsts farm had been visited by Soviet officials first in 1955, as an unofficial extra when they were on an organized tour of smaller farms. The Garst farm, with its use of hybrid corn and other agricultural innovations, was the only large size farm at all comparable to the scale of Soviet collective farms that the official was able to visit, and that was only by getting away from the official tour. Subsequently, Garst visited the Soviet Union to sell hybrid corn there and spread information about modern American farming methods. He met Khrushchev, and they found they had much in common. When Khrushchev visited America in 1959, he was adamant that his visit include a trip to Garst&#39;s farm in Iowa.</p><br>
<p>After the conclusion of the visit, Llewellyn Thompson, then the USA ambassador to the Soviet Union, stated that the visit to the Garst farm was one of the most significant parts of Khrushchev&#39;s journey to the United States. This visit, combined with plummeting yields from Soviet agriculture, helped to lead Khrushchev to attempt an overhaul of the Soviet agricultural system.</p><br>
<p>The main building is a -story farmhouse. It includes 11 other contributing buildings, 3 contributing structures and one contributing site.</p><br>
<p>The farm was added to the National Register of Historic Places on August 12, 2009 and the listing was announced as the featured listing in the National Park Service&#39;s weekly list of August 21, 2009. Currently the main house of the Roswell and Elizabeth Garst Farmstead Historic District is the office for the Whiterock Conservancy.</p><br>
<p>The site is located at 1390 Highway 141 in the northwestern corner of Guthrie County.</p><br>
<p>The Thomas H. Hoatson House  is a house located at 320 Tamarack Street in Laurium, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1994. At 13,000 ft&sup2, it is the largest mansion in the western Upper Peninsula of Michigan.</p><br>
<h2>Thomas H. Hoatson</h2><br>
<p>The house was designed by Charles W. Maass and brother, Frederick A. Maass and built in 1908 for Thomas Hoatson Jr. Thomas Sr. arrived in Bruce Mines, Ontario, where, on October 20, 1861, Thomas Jr. was born. In 1870, the family moved a final time to Calumet, Michigan, where Thomas Sr. began work as superintendent of the Calumet and Hecla Mining Company, a position he held until his death in 1897.</p><br>
<p>Thomas Hoatson Jr. attended school in Calumet until he was seventeen, after which he followed in his father&#39;s footsteps and went to work for the Calumet and Hecla Mining Company. In March, 1901, Hoatson was involved in organizing the Bisbee Mine in Bisbee, Arizona, along with his elder brother James and other investors. Thomas Hoatson was elected second vice-president of the company. The mine later changed its name to the Calumet and Arizona Mining Company, and proved wildly successful, netting the investors, including Hoatson, substantial wealth.</p><br>
<p>Despite the Arizona location of the Bisbee mine, Hoatson chose to make his home in the Keweenaw Peninsula. He also served as vice-president of several other mines, as well as president of the Calumet State Bank and a director of the First National Bank of Calumet.</p><br>
<p>On November 24, 1886, Hoatson married Cornelia Chenowyth of Rockland. The couple had six children: Gussie, Calvin Dean, Chester, James Ramsey, Gertrude, and Grace Lorimer. Thomas Hoatson Jr. died on February 1, 1929.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Thomas Hoatson Jr. built his house as a surprise for his wife and children. The house, completed in 1907, is notable for the technological advancements included in the design.</p><br>
<p>After Hoatson&#39;s death, the house passed through the hands of a series of owners, some of whom stripped the original stained glass and lighting fixtures before 1984. under the name "Laurium Manor Inn."</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Hoatson House is a -story wood-frame structure of Neoclassical design. The house is rectangular with a red sandstone foundation and clapboard exterior.</p><br>
<p>The interior has 45 rooms covering 13,000 square feet, and boasts exceptionally fine detailing. The first floor contains a library measuring 23 ft by 23 ft, a dining room measuring 17 ft by 23 ft, and a reception hall measuring 12 ft by 40 ft with triple staircase. Also on the first floor are a den with an iridescent tile fireplace surround and painted murals, a kitchen, and pantry space. The second floor had six bedrooms and three bathrooms. The third floor had three more bedrooms, a bathroom, a cedar room, and a billiard room measuring 50 ft by 50 feet.</p><br>
<p>Woodlawn is a former estate house overlooking the Hudson River in Garrison, New York, United States. It was designed in the mid-19th century by Richard Upjohn, who resided in the area for the last years of his life.</p><br>
<p>Later on it became the Malcolm Gordon School, and it is currently the headquarters of the Hastings Center, a prominent bioethics research institution. In 1982 it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>Property</h2><br>
<p>Woodlawn is a 42 acre property on the west side of NY 9D just south of St. Basil Academy, at one time the estate of New York Yankees owner Jacob Ruppert. It is a complex of several buildings, three of which are considered contributing resources to the Register listing.</p><br>
<p>The main house is a two-story brick structure on a stone foundation. There are frame single-story additions on the north and east. Its steeply-pitched cross-gabled roof, with exposed rafters at the eaves, is pierced by two dormer windows on either side and a brick chimney at the south end. On the west (front) facade is an oriel window with a balcony above. A porch with Corinthian columns wraps around the south and west sides of the house.</p><br>
<p>On the east the addition, originally built as a detached gym and now the center&#39;s Morison Library, is now connected to the house via a breezeway. The north extension projects from the porch and includes a garage, workshop, and apartment. A small stucco kitchen wing has been added to the north side of the house as well.</p><br>
<p>The three detached buildings are a combination stable and hayloft, carriage shed and ice house. The first, a one-story stucco structure, has since been converted into an apartment. The shed and ice house, frame and board-and-batten respectively, are now used for storage.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>William Moore, a partner in a large New York City importing firm, commissioned Upjohn to design the house in 1854. He and his wife and their descendants used it as a summer residence until it was purchased by Malcolm Gordon in 1927 to start the boys&#39; boarding school he named after himself.</p><br>
<p>Gordon made the changes to the property. The north wing was built in 1931 and expanded eight years later. Two decades later, in 1956, the gym was added. The kitchen wing was built in 1966, and three years later the garage on the north wing was added. The school remained active until the early 1980s.</p><br>
<p>The Hastings Center moved in a decade later. Some renovations were necessary.</p><br>
<p>The historical buildings and structures of Zion National Park represent a variety of buildings, interpretive structures, signs and infrastructure associated with the National Park Service&#39;s operations in Zion National Park, Utah. Structures vary in size and scale from the Zion Lodge to road culverts and curbs, nearly all of which were designed using native materials and regional construction techniques in an adapted version of the National Park Service Rustic style. A number of the larger structures were designed by Gilbert Stanley Underwood, while many of the smaller structures were designed or coordinated with the National Park Service Branch of Plans and Designs. The bulk of the historic structures date to the 1920s and 1930s. Most of the structures of the 1930s were built using Civilian Conservation Corps labor.</p><br>
<p>The version of the National Park Service Rustic style that was adopted at Zion was less extreme in its rustic character than that employed at other parks. Compared with the Bryce Canyon Lodge, the Zion Park Lodge used smaller elements of timber and stonework, and employed milled lumber in place of rough log elements. This reflected the more settled character of the Zion area, which retained farms and irrigation systems at the time the first visitor facilities were built.</p><br>
<p>Many of Zion&#39;s historical structures are listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP), either as individual structures or as contributing structures in a historic district. (The NRHP-listed structures are also listed in alphabetical order in National Register of Historic Places listings in Zion National Park.)</p><br>
<p>The park also preserves remnants of early Mormon settlement in Zion Canyon, which began in 1862. Two irrigation canals and a cable draw works remain.</p><br>
<h2>Utah Parks Company</h2><br>
<p>The Zion Lodge was designed in the rustic style by Underwood in 1924 as the centerpiece of Zion&#39;s visitor facilities.</p><br>
<p>The Zion Lodge Historic District comprises a large group of historic lodgings and support facilities surrounding the Zion Lodge, most of which were designed by Underwood. The district&#39;s National Register of Historic Places reference is 82001718.</p><br>
<p>The Zion Nature Center-Zion Inn was designed by Underwood for the Utah Parks Company as a cafeteria, gift shop and office for the tourist cabins surrounding it. The inn was built in 1934 in the National Park Service Rustic style and was used by the Utah Parks Company until 1972, when the Park Service remodeled it for use as a nature center. The structure features rubblestone pilasters at each corner with a "framing out" style infill. The roof is framed in log. The Zion Inn was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987. It was recently restored to the original Underwood exterior design. The Nature Center was individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places on February 14, 1987, reference number 86003719. 37&deg;12&prime;19.2&Prime;N latitude, 112&deg;58&prime;56.75&Prime;W longitude</p><br>
<h2>Transportation and infrastructure</h2><br>
<p>The Floor of the Valley Road follows the North Fork of the Virgin River through Zion Canyon. The nine-mile road was planned by the National Park Service to blend with the landscape while highlighting the canyon&#39;s features for motorists. The earliest portions were built in 1916, but the bulk of the present road and associated structures were built in the 1930s as a Depression-era public works project.</p><br>
<p>The Cable Creek Bridge is on the Floor of the Valley Road. It is individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places for its integrity as an example of the National Park Service Rustic style of design. The single-span sandstone-faced concrete bridge was designed by the Western Office of Design and Construction of the National Park Service, and was built in 1932 with Civilian Conservation Corps labor. The bridge was listed on the NRHP on February 16, 1996, with reference number 96000053, and is a contributing structure on the Floor of the Valley Road. 37&deg;16&prime;13&Prime;N latitude, 112&deg;56&prime;19&Prime;W longitude</p><br>
<p>The Zion-Mount Carmel Highway was built to link Zion with Grand Canyon National Park. Completed in 1930, the road features a 5,613 ft tunnel in the wall of Pine Creek Canyon. The road enables visitors to do a loop tour of Grand Canyon, Zion, Bryce Canyon National Park and Cedar Breaks National Monument.</p><br>
<p>The East Entrance Checking Station was built in 1935 by Civilian Conservation Corps labor from CCC Camp NP-2 at the eastern end of the Zion-Mt. Carmel Highway. The station was designed by the National Park Service Branch of Plans and Design in the National Park Service Rustic style, featuring rough sandstone walls. It was individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places on July 7, 1987, reference number 86003710. 37&deg;13&prime;59.7&Prime;N latitude, 112&deg;52&prime;31.5&Prime;W longitude</p><br>
<p>The East and South Entrance Signs are individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The signs comprise two locally quarried red sandstone pillars flanking the east and south entrance road, with a horizontal log projecting from one pylon supporting a sign. The signs were designed by the National Park Service Branch of Plans and Designs in 1936 and was built by Civilian Conservation Corps labor from Camp NP-2. They were altered in 1940 to the design of Park Service architects H.W. Young and A.C. Kuehl. The sign reflects a consistent design theme that was developed for many park structures in Zion. The signs are individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places, with the east sign listed on July 7, 1987, with reference number 86003710 and the south sign on February 14, 1987, as 86003713. 37&deg;14&prime;7&Prime;N latitude, 112&deg;52&prime;7&Prime;W longitude (east) and 37&deg;12&prime;4.7&Prime;N latitude, 112&deg;59&prime;18.8&Prime;W longitude (south).</p><br>
<h2>Park Service facilities</h2><br>
<p>The Grotto Camping Ground Comfort Stations were built in the same style and material as the Grotto Residence. The south station was built in 1925, while the north station was built in 1930-31 to a design by Harry Langley. The walls are massive stepped sandstone in 15-to-18-inch courses with board-and-batten infill at the gables and 24 in roof overhangs at the sides and 36 in overhangs at the ends. Both were renovated in 1959. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places on February 14, 1987, their reference numbers are 86003704 (south) and 86003705 (north). 37&deg;15&prime;31&Prime;N latitude, 112&deg;56&prime;27&Prime;W longitude (south) and 37&deg;15&prime;33&Prime;N latitude, 112&deg;56&prime;33&Prime;W longitude (north).</p><br>
<p>The South Campground Comfort Station was designed by W.G. Carnes of the Western Division of the Branch of Plans and Design and built in 1934 using rustic design elements of preceding buildings. The South Campground building was \listed on the NRHP on February 14, 1987, with reference number 86003708. 37&deg;12&prime;14&Prime;N latitude, 112&deg;58&prime;21&Prime;W longitude</p><br>
<p>The South Campground Amphitheater was built by the Civilian Conservation Corps in 1934 and 1935. The CCC work is visible in the stonework of the stage and its retaining walls, walkways and steps. Red sandstone was used in accordance with NPS Rustic design principles. The original wood benches were placed on stone blocks and were replaced with metal seats in 1956. The amphitheater was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on February 14, 1987, reference number 86003717. 37&deg;12&prime;15.9&Prime;N latitude, 112&deg;58&prime;52.2&Prime;W longitude</p><br>
<h2>Employee and service facilities</h2><br>
<p>The Museum-Grotto Residence is the oldest building remaining in Zion National Park. The Grotto structure was built in 1924 as the Park Museum, then rebuilt as a residence in 1936 to a design by Harry Langler of the NPS Branch of Plans and Designs, using CCC labor. The stonework is significantly larger in scale than later work. The Grotto Residence was individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places, reference number 86003721 on February 14, 1987. 37&deg;15&prime;28&Prime;N latitude, 112&deg;57&prime;3&Prime;W longitude</p><br>
<p>The East Entrance Residence is a companion to the similar East Entrance Checking Station. The residence was built by the Civilian Conservation Corps in 1934 to a design in the National Park Service Rustic style by the Branch of Plans and Design. It is individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places, reference 86003712. The residence was individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places on February 14, 1987, reference number 86003712. 37&deg;13&prime;59.7&Prime;N latitude, 112&deg;52&prime;35.7&Prime;W longitude</p><br>
<p>The Pine Creek Residential Historic District was designed by Thomas Chalmers Vint to house Park Service staff, setting the style for smaller buildings at Zion. Located near the original headquarters of the park, The Pine Creek district was individually listed on the National Register on July 7, 1987, reference number 86003736. 37&deg;12&prime;59&Prime;N latitude, 112&deg;58&prime;32&Prime;W longitude</p><br>
<p>The buildings of the Oak Creek Historic District were built during the 1930s and early 1940s in what had by then become the standard National Park Service Rustic style adapted for use at Zion. The Oak Creek compound provided housing for Park Service employees as well as service and utility facilities. Most were constructed by CCC labor. A number of Mission 66 buildings were constructed in the 1950s, but are not considered contributing structures. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on July 7, 1987, reference number 86003706. 37&deg;12&prime;40&Prime;N latitude, 112&deg;59&prime;10&Prime;W longitude</p><br>
<h2>Trails</h2><br>
<p>The Canyon Overlook Trail was built by Civilian Conservation Corps labor in 1933 from the east portal of the Zion-Mt. Carmel Tunnel to and overlook at the Great Arch. The design was overseen by local park officials for consistency with other trail improvements in Zion. The rail was listed on the National Register on February 14, 1987, reference number 86003722. 37&deg;12&prime;49&Prime;N latitude, 112&deg;56&prime;54&Prime;W longitude</p><br>
<p>A total of 4 mi long, the East Rim Trail was improved by local rancher John Winder in 1896. Originally an Indian trail, it was further improved in 1918-1919 by the National Park Service. The lower two miles of trail provided access to the Cable Mountain Draw Works. The trail improvements include rubblestone retaining walls typical of park improvements found elsewhere in Zion. The East Rim Trail was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on July 7, 1987, reference number 86003723. 37&deg;16&prime;42&Prime;N latitude, 112&deg;55&prime;45&Prime;W longitude</p><br>
<p>The Angels Landing Trail-West Rim Trail was built in 1926 following the completion of the East Rim Trail. The Angels Landing trail climbs a sandstone spine, providing rails and chain handholds for a 300 ft climb in.5 mi. It joins the West Rim Trail, built in 1925-26 and extended in 1935. Both trails were planned by Thomas Chalmers Vint of the NPS Branch of Plans and Design and Walter Ruesch, the Zion Park building foreman. Ruesch lent his name to Walter&#39;s Wiggles, a series of 21 switchbacks. The trails were listed on the National Register of Historic Places on February 14, 1987, reference number 86003707. 37&deg;16&prime;6&Prime;N latitude, 112&deg;56&prime;58&Prime;W longitude</p><br>
<p>The Emerald Pools Trail begins at the Zion Lodge westward to Lower Emerald Pool. Built in 1932, it was created using only hand tools. An extension built the same year runs to the Grotto Campground. The first section required the construction of stone steps to a high standard of design and finish. Repairs to the stonework were carried out in 1969. The 2.2 mi trail was individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places on February 14, 1987, reference number 86003725. 37&deg;14&prime;58&Prime;N latitude, 112&deg;57&prime;16&Prime;W longitude</p><br>
<p>The Gateway to the Narrows Trail, also known as the Riverside Walk, is a relatively short nature trail of one mile along the Virgin River. It connects the parking area at the Temple of Sinawava with The Narrows and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The trail uses local materials such as red sandstone to blend with its surroundings, following the tenets of the National Park Service Rustic style. Survey work was carried out in 1928 by National Park Service engineer Guy D. Edwards. Construction began the following year under the supervision of Walter Ruesch. On August 1, 1968, a rock slide buried a 250-foot portion of the trail with debris ranging from three to twenty feet deep. Rather than removing the rock, the trail was routed over the slide. The trail was upgraded for accessibility by the handicapped in 1982. The trail and kiosk were listed on the National Register of Historic Places on July 7, 1987, reference number 86003726. 37&deg;17&prime;48&Prime;N latitude, 112&deg;56&prime;42&Prime;W longitude</p><br>
<p>The Grotto Trail begins at Zion Lodge, running along the floor of the valley to the Zion Museum at what is now the Grotto Picnic Area along the original path of the Floor of the Valley Road. The trail was designed by landscape architect Harry Langley and was built by the National Park Service in 1932 using only hand tools. Sandstone retaining walls and culverts were used to continue the rustic style. The Grotto Trail was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on February 14, 1986, reference number 86003914. 37&deg;15&prime;1&Prime;N latitude, 112&deg;57&prime;26&Prime;W longitude</p><br>
<p>The Hidden Canyon Trail was built in 1928 under the guidance of Guy D. Edwards and F.A. Kittredge to provide access to a hanging canyon. The trail consists of three sections. The first section starts at the East Rim Trail and runs for 950 ft as a horse trail with eleven switchbacks with dry-laid sandstone retaining walls. The 745 ft section was built as a hikers-only trail along a natural shelf, with a small section of blasted passage with steps and a hand rail. The final section was blasted from a steep slope by workers hanging from ropes. The completed work was designed to blend into the landscape, while vegetation was preserved during construction. The Hidden Canyon Trail was individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places on February 14, 1987, reference number 86003731. 37&deg;16&prime;1&Prime;N latitude, 112&deg;55&prime;50&Prime;W longitude</p><br>
<h2>Archeological sites</h2><br>
<p>Parunuweap Canyon Archeological District includes several Ancestral Puebloan ruins dating between 500-1150 AD. The sites are associated with the Virgin Anasazi peoples and consist of small masonry dwelling and granary complexes. The site was individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places on November 7, 1996, reference number 96001235.</p><br>
<p>The West Rim Trail follows along the rim with views of Phantom valley and the canyons to the south.</p><br>
<h2>Other historic places</h2><br>
<p>The Cable Mountain Draw Works was built by David Flanigan beginning in 1901, although he had first proposed the system as a teenager in 1885. From 1904, timber was harvested from the heights above the valley and moved from Cable Mountain down to the draw works in the valley, a vertical distance of 2,000 ft. The system fulfilled an 1863 prophecy made by Brigham Young that timber would descend from the cliffs "like a hawk flying." Before the draw works were constructed, the timber on Cable Mountain was obtained only by a ten-day round trip. Flanigan sold the operation in 1906 to Alfred Stout and O.D. Gifford of Springdale, who operated it as the Cable Mountain Timber Works. The draw works were destroyed by lightning and rebuilt in 1911. Intermittent operation continued until 1926 when the system was abandoned. The cables were removed in 1930. It is the oldest pre-park structure in Zion. The site was individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places on May 24, 1978, reference number 78000281. 37&deg;15&prime;57&Prime;N latitude, 112&deg;55&prime;59&Prime;W longitude</p><br>
<p>The Pine Creek Irrigation Canal was excavated around the 1890s by Mormon farmers, using water from Pine Creek to irrigate farmland for about 2.5 mi on the west side of the Virgin River near Bridge Mountain. Water was drawn from Pine Creek just upstream from the creek&#39;s confluence with the Virgin River and used to feed the Flanigan Ditch distribution system. Original rock retaining walls remain visible in some sections. New headworks were built in 1934 by Civilian Conservation Corps labor from Camp NP-2 using a 15 ft sandstone boulder as an anchorage, to draw water directly from the Virgin River 1/4 mile upstream from Pine Creek, conveying the water over Pine Creek in a flume. Funding was provided by the Public Works Administration. The Pine Creek Canal was individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places on July 7, 1987, reference number 86003734. 37&deg;12&prime;6&Prime;N latitude, 112&deg;58&prime;40&Prime;W longitude</p><br>
<p>The Oak Creek Irrigation Canal was built in 1935 by CCC labor to irrigate vegetation in the park&#39;s South Campground. Additional improvements were undertaken in 1941 to replace wood flumes and to build new concrete diversion dams. The 2 mi canal diverts water from the North Fork of the Virgin River with a diversion dam that spans the river. A headgate on the west bank controls the flow. Further works executed in 1959 and 1961 provide irrigation to the visitor center and the Pine Creek residential area before laterals take off to irrigate the South Campground. The ditch then rejoins the river. The canal is largely lined with concrete. A siphon connected to the south entrance plaza. The Oak Creek Canal was individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places on July 7, 1987, reference number 86003738. 37&deg;12&prime;9&Prime;N latitude, 112&deg;59&prime;28&Prime;W longitude</p><br>
<p>Flanigan Ditch was constructed about 1880 by the Flanigan family, Mormon pioneers in the Zion valley. The Flanigans acquired water rights for a portion of the flow of the Virgin River in 1880 to water the familys lands along the river. The family was prominent, with the feature now known at "The Watchman" called "Flanigan Peak", while the location of the present Watchman campground was called Flanigan Field. Over time, the farmlands on the lower portion of the ditch were abandoned below the present outlet at the Watchman campground. The buried portion of the ditch is regarded as a potential archeological feature relating to the period of pioneer settlement. The lands surrounding the ditch were acquired by the Park Service from the Flanigans in 1960. Of the original 15,000 ft of ditch, about 12,000 ft are within the park, with the upper third largely intact but unwatered for part of its length. A portion continues to carry water for irrigation of the Watchman campground. Expansion of the park boundaries has included a buried and abandoned portion of the lower ditch. The ditch shares its headworks with the Springdale Consolidated Irrigation Companys pipeline, which provides municipal water to the town through a pipeline installed in 1988. Flanigan Ditch was listed on the NRHP on January 12, 1998, reference number 97001630. 37&deg;12&prime;53&Prime;N latitude, 112&deg;58&prime;28&Prime;W longitude</p><br>

<p>Farmington Historic District is the town center of Farmington, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976. The area roughly corresponds to the section of Grand River Avenue and Shiawassee Avenue from Warner Street to junction of Grand River and Shiawassee.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In 1823, Arthur Power, a devout Quaker originally from Farmington, New York, purchased a number of tracts of land in this area. He moved to Michigan in 1824 with his family, and a number of other Quaker families followed suit. By 1826, the location of the village of Farmington was firmly established along Shiawassee Trail, and the settlement boasted at least three churches, a school, two taverns, and several other merchants. There were also several dairies and cheese factories, a small foundry, and at least four lumber and grist mills. A number of residences - some still extant - were constructed in the "Old City" area of Farmington. By the mid-1840s, the village center shifted from Shiawassee Trail to Grand River.</p><br>
<p>The village grew rapidly from about 1850 to 1890, with the original Quaker influence gradually diminishing as new settlers moved in. The surrounding agricultural industry was the dominant economic driver for the area. A disastrous fire struck in 1872, destroying many businesses in the commercial district. After 1890, Farmington continued to grow as technology and transportation evolved, but even by 1950 the population was only 2300. By 1960, with the exodus from Detroit, that number had grown to over 7000, and reached 12000 by the mid-1970s.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Farmington Historic District is triangular in shape, and consists primarily of residential buildings, with the remainder mostly commercial in nature. Some structures date back to the 1840s, with a great may farm houses and modest Greek Revival structures.</p><br>
<p>The district includes some significant buildings in Farmington:</p><br>
<p>Governor Fred M. Warner House, a symmetric, block shaped house with a low hipped roof topped by a cupola, built in 1867.</p><br>
<p>The Masonic Lodge (formerly Township Hall), a two-story building with towers, corbels, arched doorways and a mansard roof in patterned slate, completed in 1876.</p><br>
<p>Farmington Civic Theatre</p><br>
<p>Clark Farm Complex is a historic home and farm complex located at Lima in Livingston County, New York. It is a large working farm composed of a mid-19th century farmhouse and full complex of farm related support structures. The farmhouse was constructed in the early 1830s. There are twelve related farm dependencies dating from the mid-19th century to early 20th century. They include a well house, smoke house, privy, garage, and chicken house.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.</p><br>
<p>Bear Mountain Bridge Road is a 3 mi, two-lane section of US 6/US 202 from the west approach to Bear Mountain Bridge to a former toll house in the Town of Cortlandt, New York, United States.</p><br>
<p>Local residents sometimes refer to the road as the Goat Trail.</p><br>
<p>It winds around the steep, rocky slopes of Anthony&#39;s Nose, the southernmost peak of the Hudson Highlands on the east side of the Hudson River. In its first mile from the junction with NY 9D it climbs 200 ft to a scenic overlook that looks out over Iona Island, Dunderberg Mountain, the city of Peekskill and the Charles Point power plant. There are interpretive displays on the history of the area during the Revolutionary War, where the Hudson River Chain was deployed and the Battle of Forts Clinton and Montgomery was fought.</p><br>
<p>Near its eastern end, approximately 2.5 mi from the bridge, is a Tudor Revival-style former toll house. It also served as the toll takers residence. In 2002 it was renovated by the Town of Cortlandt and now serves as an information center and gift shop for visitors to the region. A small parking lot serves hikers taking a popular trail along Anthonys Nose, through lands in the Camp Smith New York Army National Guard base just above the highway, to the Appalachian Trail just north of the bridge.</p><br>
<p>At its eastern end, before intersecting with US 9 at the Annsville Circle, the road falls to the level of the Hudson River, which it parallels. There, near the entrance to Camp Smith, looking south across a bay and the Metro-North railroad, can be seen the Indian Point nuclear power plant.</p><br>
<p>The state required the Harriman family to build the road when the bridge was built in the mid-1920s, in order to connect the bridge with US 9 just north of Peekskill. It was intended to be higher on the mountainside than the similar Storm King Highway, which had been built upriver a decade earlier. Like that road, it has a stone wall, made from the 21,000 cubic yards of material excavated during the highway&#39;s construction.</p><br>
<p>The legislation that allowed the bridge&#39;s construction stipulated that the road and bridge would revert to the state at no cost after 30 years. When that happened, the toll collected on the eastern end was eliminated, and the toll collector and his wife moved to the western toll house, where he served as bridge manager, until he retired. The road and toll house were listed together on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982 as part of the Hudson Highlands Multiple Resource Area multiple property submission, the only property in Westchester County included in that group.</p><br>

<p>The United States Post Office in Peekskill, New York, is located on South Street. It is a brick building in the Colonial Revival architectural style, serving the 10566 ZIP Code, which covers the city of Peekskill and some surrounding areas in the town of Cortlandt.</p><br>
<p>It was built in the early years of the Great Depression as an economic stimulus. The neoclassic arch-headed windows on its front facade are unusual on a post office in New York built prior to the Franklin D. Roosevelt administration. In 1989 it was added to the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>Building</h2><br>
<p>The post office is located on the north side of South Street, on the southeast corner of a large, triangular lot it has all to itself. The ground slopes down to the north. Across the street are Peekskill Presbyterian Church and an assortment of commercial and residential buildings, similar to the neighborhood to the east, which has mixed-use apartment buildings. A row of mature oak trees screens the front of the building.</p><br>
<p>It is a one-story rectangular building sided in brick laid in English bond with limestone and wood trim. The south (front) facade features a projecting central pavilion with three semicircular wood-arched windows with keystones and rectangular blocks at the springlines. Such tripartite windows unified by a fanlike recessed tympanum, here typically with the radiating fluting of a patera, are elements of English Neoclassical architecture as practiced most familiarly by Robert Adam. The two bays on the ends have regular rectangular windows with keystones and a decorative recessed panel above. Below the two front windows flanking the main entrance are balustrades and cast iron fences around window wells allowing light into the basement.</p><br>
<p>Above the arches is raised metal lettering saying "UNITED STATES POST OFFICE" below a limestone frieze with geometric decoration. The roofline is marked by a plain cornice, topped with a limestone-coped brick parapet interrupted by stone balustrades above each of the three central bays.</p><br>
<p>A similar window treatment is found along the east profile. The west profile of the building has one window similar to the others, with a large wing projecting outwards for the loading dock. It wraps around the north as well.</p><br>
<p>Stone steps flanked by cast iron lampposts rise to the main entrance. The modern glass door is framed by projecting Doric pilasters. These support a plain frieze and denticulated cornice, above which is the same archivolt found on the flanking windows.</p><br>
<p>Inside, the lobby has marble wainscoting and high plaster ceilings with a deep cornice. The windows have Adamesque carved wood surrounds. A Palladian window is on the inside wall. The entrance to the postmaster&#39;s office has two narrow stop-fluted pilasters supporting blocks with carved urns and a swagged frieze.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The site was first used for a post office in 1911. Three years earlier, Congress had authorized the purchase of the lot to facilitate a move from the post office&#39;s previous location a few blocks away. An existing Victorian house was modified and renovated under plans by James Knox Taylor, the only time prior to World War II that the Treasury Department renovated an existing structure for postal use rather than build a new one.</p><br>
<p>In 1928 the current structure was authorized, and reauthorized again in 1930. The second time $165,000 ($ in contemporary dollars) was appropriated for construction, an early response to the Great Depression. The building was begun later that year and opened in 1931.</p><br>
<p>It was designed by the Office of the Supervising Architect under James A. Wetmore and likely to have been the work of Louis A. Simon. It uses the free interpretation of "Colonial Revival" style which had been standard for most new post offices since 1915. The Peekskill design stands out in its use of distinctly neoclassical "Adam" features, particularly the English-bond brickwork and the windows. The latter feature would not be used on other post offices in New York (particularly Warsaw&#39;s) until the New Deal and its building programs were underway several years later.</p><br>
<p>In 1967 the large wing to the north and west was added. It is intended to be architecturally sympathetic, but is not considered to be contributing to the Register listing due to its relatively recent construction.</p><br>
<p>School No. 6 is a historic school building located at Lima in Livingston County, New York. It was constructed about 1843 and is a 1-story, vernacular Greek Revival cobblestone building consisting of a two-by-two-bay main block with a one-by-one-bay east wing. It features irregularly shaped, variously sized and colored cobbles in its construction. The school closed in 1943 and converted to a residence after 1953.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.</p><br>
<p>Coverdale Cobblestone House is a historic home located at Leicester in Livingston County, New York. It was completed in 1837 and has a 2-story, three-by-four-bay cobblestone main block, a -story kitchen wing, and a 1-story cobblestone and frame carriage shed. It was built in the late Federal / early Greek Revival style. It features medium-sized cobbles in its construction.</p><br>
<p>The house underwent restoration between December 2005 and February 2010. The mortar has been refinished, new thermal insulated windows, rebuilt carriage house, inside re-plastered, refinished plank wooden floors, and new front porch. A new Crown Steam Boiler was installed in November 2009.

<p>The Church of St. Patrick is a parish of the Roman Catholic Church at 130 Avondale Avenue in Toledo, Ohio, in the Diocese of Toledo. It is noted for its historic parish church, which was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The current structure is the second to bear this name. Construction of the first church began in 1862 at the corner of Lafayette and 13th Streets. It was dedicated May 17, 1863 with construction costs totaling $27,000. However, by 1891, the building was deemed unsafe and demolished. Pews and other interior furnishings removed for use in a new building.</p><br>
<h2>Construction</h2><br>
<p>Fr. Edward Hannin, pastor of St. Patricks, set out to create "the finest church in this part of the land," for his congregation and began to raise money for construction. When it was completed, St. Patricks was considered one of the finest examples of Gothic Revival architecture in the United States. The exterior is constructed of Amherst blue sandstone and the interior contains ten red granite columns. The church was dedicated on April 13, 1901.</p><br>

<p>Corotoman was a 17th and 18th century plantation on the Rappahannock River in Lancaster County, Virginia, United States. Corotoman was the residence of Robert Carter I , a colonial Governor of Virginia and one of the wealthiest men in the British colonies in North America. Corotoman was located on a point overlooking the Rappahannock River, and flanked by Carter&#39;s Creek and Corrotoman River to its east and west respectively.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<h3>Earliest inhabitants</h3><br>
<p>Corotoman was first inhabited by the Cuttatwomen Native American tribe several hundred years before the arrival of English colonists to Lancaster County, Virginia.</p><br>
<h3>John Carter I</h3><br>
<p>John Carter I, the patriarch of the Carter family of Virginia, purchased and settled Corotoman between 1652 and 1653.</p><br>
<h3>John Carter II</h3><br>
<p>When his father died in 1670, John Carter Jr. inherited Coromotan, the familys main plantation, as the first son. John Carter Jr. died in 1690, possibly of malaria contracted three years earlier. John Carter Jr.s will also provided that his brother Robert Carter would receive the mill and other real estate if John&#39;s daughter Elizabeth did not have children—and in fact she died of measles in November 1693, shortly after her marriage to the son of Richmond County burgess (and Col.) William Lloyd, and that estate became subject to litigation.</p><br>
<h3>Robert Carter I</h3><br>
<p>Corotoman was then inherited by John Carter Jr.s brother Robert Carter I (whose wealth and autocratic business methods led to his becoming known by the nickname "King") in 1690. Under Robert Carter Is ownership, Corotoman became the center of what developed into a 300,000 acre estate of 48 plantations and farms including places such as Indian Town and Hills Quarters.</p><br>
<h4>Construction</h4><br>
<p>Robert Carter began construction of the large Georgian mansion at Corotoman around 1720. The mansion was completed in 1725, and introduced a new era for early 18th-century architecture in Virginia. Corotoman also set the pattern for 18th-century architectural patronage. The mansion at Corotoman rivaled the other important Colonial mansions of Virginia, and affirmed Robert Carter Is status as the most powerful planter in the aristocracy of the Tidewater region. Carters correspondences and diary revealed that the construction of the mansion at Corotoman was a lengthy, complex, and frustrating endeavor. Construction materials for the mansion included paving stones from England, lumber from his plantation saw mills and from neighboring plantations, and oyster shells for mortar. For some of the mansions windows, Carter used iron casement frames for quarrel glass. To undertake the mansions construction, Carter imported skilled indentured servants from England and hired local craftsmen.</p><br>
<h4>Gardens</h4><br>
<p>Carter employed an English gardener, whom he instructed "to bring the yards around the mansion into closer accord with the architectural rhythms of the mansion. Little is currently known of the garden&#39;s contents and design.</p><br>
<h4>Brick House Store</h4><br>
<p>At Corotoman, Carter maintained a building known as the "Brick House Store" where he kept imported goods that he sold and bartered to local planters. In 1730, an inventory of items at the Brick House Store included essential supplies such as cloths, tools, and gunpowder and luxury items such as spices, ivory combs, and brass candlesticks.</p><br>
<h4>Spinster&#39;s House</h4><br>
<p>Another supporting structure at Corotoman was known as the "Spinsters House." The house was constructed in either the late 17th century or the early 18th century. The "Spinsters House" was a one-story and a half frame house adorned with a gabled roof with large end chimneys. It lay in ruins for years before finally disappearing around 1930. Before its disappearance, the "Spinster&#39;s House" was the last remaining supporting structure of the original Corotoman plantation.</p><br>
<h4>Destruction</h4><br>
<p>In 1729, four years after "King" Carters mansion was completed, a fire destroyed it. Carter died three years later and the mansion was not rebuilt. An inventory taken in 1732 after Carters death implies that after the fire, Carter resided in either the "Old House" or the "Spinster&#39;s House" at Corotoman rather than rebuild it because of fiscal difficulties or ill health. In the mid-19th century, Corotoman and its adjacent lands passed out of the Carter family when they were sold by a granddaughter of Charles Carter.</p><br>
<h4>Escape of Enslaved Persons During the War of 1812</h4><br>
<p>69 Corotoman slaves fled to British ships anchored in the Chesapeake Bay during the War of 1812. The flight occurred on two days in April of 1814. On the 18th, three young enslaved men from Corotoman – Tom Saunders, Ezekiel Loney, and Canada Baton – left with a party of British marines who had come ashore on a nearby estate to carry off provisions. Three days later the British returned at midnight directly to Corotoman, quite certainly led there by the three young men. They left with 66 more slaves, mainly women and children. This was the largest group of slaves to flee to the British from any Virginia estate during the War.</p><br>
<h3>Successive ownership</h3><br>
<p>A mansion was rebuilt at Corotoman by successive owners, but was destroyed by fire around 1900.</p><br>
<p>In Spring 2000, the Association for the Preservation of Virginia Antiquities acquired the site of Corotoman.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>Robert Carter Is 1725 Georgian mansion was a two-story brick dwelling with a two-story porch, which Carter referred to as a piazza. The mansion measured 90 by 40 ft. Its central entrance hall was paved in black and white marble brought to Virginia from England. The entrance hall was flanked by Carters bedchamber and a lavishly decorated parlor, both with large closets. Along the mansion&#39;s façade against the Rappahannock River ran a gallery. Below the gallery was an arcade and three pavilions.</p><br>
<p>While the mansion was destroyed by fire four years after its completion, the "Spinster&#39;s House" on the Corotoman estate survived until around 1930.</p><br>
<h2>Archaeology</h2><br>
<p>In 1978, archaeologists led by Dr. Carter Hudgins and the Virginia Department of Historic Resources excavated the foundations of Robert Carter Is Georgian mansion at Corotoman. The archaeology undertaken also confirmed a single-pile house of 40 by 90 ft including a loggia that measured 10 by 90 ft. The mansions foundations were found to be 30 in thick. Considerable rubble was unearthed at Corotoman, including white marble pavers, fragments of dressed stone and rubbed brick, Delft tile, Chinese porcelain, tankards, and over 1,000 wine bottles. Artifacts unearthed at Corotoman are currently displayed at the Christ Church museum.</p><br>

<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Frederick Hilgen immigrated from Germany in 1832, working as a clerk and serving in a state militia. In 1844, he bought some undeveloped land northwest of Milwaukee, including the site of this house. He had that land platted and it became the village of Cedarburg. He and William Schroeder built a grist mill on Cedar Creek in 1845.</p><br>
<p>In 1846, he built the first section of what would become the Wayside House on a wooded knoll. It was probably originally one story, with walls of coursed fieldstone, but its difficult to tell because Hilgen kept expanding the house over the years. The current house is two stories, with a cross-gable roof and some walls clad in cream bricks. The front entrance is sheltered by an open wooden porch. By 1900, it had reached its current configuration. The houses second owner was John Schuette, and it&#39;s sometimes called the Hilgen-Schuette House.</p><br>
<p>Hilgen went on to found the Cedarburg Mill in 1855 and the Wittenberg Woolen Mill in 1864.</p><br>
<p>Barber–Mulligan Farm is a historic farm located at Avon in Livingston County, New York. The nearly 640 acre farm includes a number of original buildings as well as many improvements. The most important cluster is the central farm complex which includes the main house, a carriage house, horse barn, and corn crib, all built in 1852 by Aaron Barber. The house is an example of late Greek Revival architecture. Not far from the main house is a cobblestone tenant house built c. 1828.</p><br>
<p>In July 2009, a lightning strike ignited a fire which destroyed the large connected complex of barns, the earliest of which were built in the 1870s. The house and earliest structures were preserved, as were all the modern dairy facilities. The farm boasts a cutting-edge Holstein milking operation of nearly 2000 cows as well as acreage in corn, wheat, and alfalfa.</p><br>
<p>Aaron Barber Jr. purchased the land in 1840 and built his homestead by 1852, and his son Aaron III continued the agrarian lifestyle, well known for his prize-winning herd of short-horn cattle. He sold the land to the Mulligan family in 1920, and the third and fourth generations are now running the operation.</p><br>
