<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004.</p><br>
<p>The Old Warren County Courthouse Complex is located at the corner of Amherst and Canada streets  in Lake George, New York, United States. It is a large brick building erected in five stages from the 1840s to the 1890s. Not all of the stages built are extant. Note: This includes</p><br>
<p>Its imposing clock tower has made it a landmark in the village. The county government moved out in the early 1960s. After a period of several years during which the building remained vacant, local preservation groups were able to get it reopened to serve a number of other public purposes. In 1973 it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Today it is home to the local historical society and a community arts group.</p><br>
<h2>Property</h2><br>
<p>The courthouse complex is located on a narrow parcel of less than 1 acre that extends from the street to the shore of Lake George itself. All sections are linked. They are built of masonry load-bearing walls faced in brick, on a limestone foundation with polychromatic slate roof pierced by six chimneys. The three remaining sections are, from west to east, the judges&#39; chambers, original courthouse, and jail wing.</p><br>
<p>On the judges chambers, the western (front) facade is five bays wide and two stories tall, with a two-stage clock tower rising from the center. Below it a recessed front door is framed by an arched entranceway. Between the two stories is a double belt course on which is inscribed "WARREN COUNTY" north of the entry and tower and "COURT HOUSE" south of it. A decorative brick cornice on the second story roofline is repeated on the towers first stage. The clock tower is topped with a hipped roof and weathervane.</p><br>
<p>To its east is the original courthouse building. It is one and a half stories tall and three bays wide on either side. Pilasters divide the narrow windows, and the roof is pierced by a gabled dormer window in the center of both sides. The jail wing to its east, closest to the lakeshore, is a two-story gabled block four bays long by three wide. It has a unique structural system. The first floor is an open room without partitions or columns; the second floor&#39;s weight is supported by three steel rods suspended from trusses below the roof.</p><br>
<p>Inside, the buildings have undergone many changes since they were first built, and have lost most of their architectural distinctiveness. The courthouse retains its original windows and high ceilings, and there are some original cells left in the jail wing.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Lake George was designated the county seat when Warren County was created in 1813. At the time the settlement had been growing rapidly because of its location on what was expected to be a main trade route to Canada. It was then known as Caldwell, after James Caldwell of Albany, a major landowner and businessman in the region, who had seen the potential for this trade route.</p><br>
<p>For the first four years of the countys existence, the court met in a local coffeehouse. In 1815, Caldwell donated land at the present site for a courthouse, and one was built, as well as a clerks office and jail.</p><br>
<p>In 1843 the courthouse and the county clerk&#39;s office burned down. A Glens Falls architect, Winfield Sherwood, designed a replacement building that was completed two years later. This is the present courtroom building in the middle of the complex. During the 1860 election, Stephen A. Douglas is said to have delivered a campaign speech here in opposition to Abraham Lincoln.</p><br>
<p>Later in the century the complex grew. In 1878 the judges quarters were added, giving the building its distinctive clock tower. Seven years later, in 1885, the small clerks building was replaced by a larger one that was added to the front of the judge&#39;s quarters, to some criticism of its effect on the building as a whole.</p><br>
<p>The countys Board of Supervisors met either here or in the armory in Glens Falls until 1905, when a meeting room was built over the county clerks offices. Since 1860 there had been some efforts to move the county seat to Glens Falls, which had grown much larger than Lake George because of industrialization. The county located some offices there, and some to the north in Warrensburg, but Lake George remained the county seat.</p><br>
<p>In 1959 county voters approved a bond issue for a new county government complex in Queensbury, along Route 9 several miles south of the village. It was built and opened in 1963, at which time the old courthouse was finally abandoned. It was vacant for several years, and considered for demolition until the newly formed Lake George Historical Association was able to persuade the Town of Lake George, which owned it by then, to reopen it for use as the association&#39;s offices and museum. Shortly afterwards, in 1969, the 1885 front addition was torn down to restore the original view of the front of the building. In 1977, the Lake George Arts Center joined the historical society, opening a gallery in the former courtroom in addition to using the building as its headquarters as well.</p><br>
<p>The Clinton County Courthouse is located at 53 East Main Street in Wilmington, Ohio. The courthouse is included in the Wilmington Commercial Historic District which was added to the National Register on 1982-10-14.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Clinton County was established in 1810 with the county seat at Wilmington. The courts met in various locations around town until the courthouse was finished in 1813. The courthouse was undertaken in two phases. The first phase was the masonry, with the contract awarded to Jacob Hale and the second was the wood work awarded to Mr. Sayres from Lebanon. The structure consisted of red brick supported by a stone foundation. A pitched roof rested on a red brick cornice with two chimneys to either side and a central cupola.</p><br>
<p>By 1837 the county was faced with an expanding population and the need for a larger courthouse. Plans were sought by the county with the plans by John B. Posey, a County Commissioner, being selected. Bids began to be accepted for the construction with the masonry work awarded to John Bush, and the plastering contract going to Thomas & Alfred Shockley and William & Joshua Noble. The old courthouse was sold to aid in the construction costs</p><br>
<p>The new courthouse was completed in 1838 and was built in the Greek Revival style. The rectangular structure had a central entrance framed by four Doric columns supporting an unadorned pediment. This building would last until 1915 when Clinton County passed a resolution declaring a new courthouse was needed. During a competition, the design was awarded to plans submitted by the architectural firm of Weber, Werner & Adkins with a budget of $300,000 allotted to the project. The courthouse was dedicated in 1919 to much ceremony.</p><br>
<h2>Exterior</h2><br>
<p>The courthouse somewhat resembles the old USA Capitol before the Civil War additions. The rusticated foundation is hidden behind a balustrade that wraps around the entire structure. The ground floor consists of smooth stone and arched windows, each with a decorative keystone. The entrances are accessed by a small recessed portico with three large arches. Above the entrances are four colossal Corinthian columns inside a recessed panel. Rectangular windows spread out on either side of this panel, lighting the various rooms within. An entablature supports the flat roof and a balustrade lines the roof. Instead of a typical dome, the building is crowned by a large dome containing a skylight illuminating the stained-glass window inside.</p><br>
<p>The Daifukuji Sōtō Mission  is a Zen Buddhist temple on the island of Hawaii established in 1914.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In 1914 Reverend Kaiseki Kodama arrived in Kona and held services at the former Hanato Store which was located across the street from the present temple. He walked around the entire island twice in order to collect donations to build a temple. In 1915, the first temple, a small thatched structure was built a few hundred yards above and to the north of the present site. It was named Hakuhozan Daifukuji ("Temple of Great Happiness on White Mountain Peak") by the Zen abbots of Sōtō temples Eihei-ji and Sōji-ji in Japan. The site is in the area known as Honalo, Hawaii in the Kona district on the western slopes of Mauna Loa. Although "white mountain" is a translation in the Hawaiian language of the name Mauna Kea, the other main peak on the island of Hawaii, snow often covers Mauna Loa in winter as well.</p><br>
<p>Reverend Kaiseki Kodama arrived in 1918 and started construction of the current temple in 1920. On May 27, 1921, a Buddha image was enshrined in the main hall in a dedication ceremony. The temple is a blend of traditional Japanese architectural forms adapted to local Hawaiian building methods. It was designed by first-generation immigrant (Issei) Yoshisuke Sasaki who owned a store nearby in Keauhou,</p><br>
<p>and constructed by head carpenter Teruyoshi Ikenouchi and others. Over the next few years living quarters were added, and a Japanese language school added in 1926, under the third minister, Giko Kanbara and his wife Shigeko Kanbara.</p><br>
<p>The roof has the traditional Japanese temple style of decorated gable roof called Irimoya.</p><br>
<p>Enshrined in the main hall is an image of the historical Gautama Buddha. To the right is the seated figure of Dōgen and to the left is Keizan, founders of the Sōtō Zen tradition. An alcove to the right of the main altar has two more figures: Bodai Daruma Daishi (Bodhidharma), who carried teachings from India to China, and Daigen Shuri Bosatsu, another bodhisattva. The Kannon Hall was added in 1937 with an image of Kannon (Guan Yin), the bodhisattva of great compassion, sculpted by Sosaku Miki. To her right and left are 33 smaller Kannon statuettes, representing various manifestations of compassion.</p><br>
<p>A small cemetery lies uphill from the temple. Although the interior has been remodeled at various times, the original sculptures (including one from 1915) and acacia koa wood altar remain.</p><br>
<p>After the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941 the temple was shut down. Reverend Hozui Nakayama, the minister at the temple was arrested and sent to the mainland as part of the Japanese American internment. The US Army occupied the site, but allowed lay members of the community to hold funeral services. After World War II, the temple was re-opened in February 1946. A minister&#39;s house was added about 1950.</p><br>
<p>A small shrine on the steps leading to the temple with a statue of Jizō (Ksitigarbha) dedicated on May 25, 1961.</p><br>
<p>It was added as site 10-47-7222 to the state of Hawaii registry of historic places on March 9, 1991.</p><br>
<p>It was added as site 94000382 on April 21, 1994 to the National Register of Historic Places listings on the island of Hawaii.</p><br>
<p>The temple became the center of Japanese immigrant society in the Kona area in the 20th century.</p><br>
<p>A store built just south of the mission by the Teshima family in 1929 became a restaurant in the 1940s. Shizuko Teshima still owned the restaurant in 2009 when she celebrated her 102nd birthday.</p><br>
<p>It is located at address 79-7241 Mamalahoa Highway (state route 11) on the Kona Heritage Corridor.</p><br>
<p>The USA Post Office in Lake George, New York, United States, is located at the corner of Canada Street  and Kurosaka Lane . It is a small brick building constructed just before World War II. It serves the area the village of Lake George, the surrounding town and those areas of Queensbury which comprise the 12845 ZIP Code.</p><br>
<p>The building was designed by Treasury Department Supervising Architect Louis A. Simon in a restrained Colonial Revival architectural style with some modernist touches. Later a mural of the Lake George area was added to the lobby. In 1989, the building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the only post office in Warren County so recognized.</p><br>
<h2>Building</h2><br>
<p>The post office is located at the west end of a narrow lot that slopes gently down toward the shore of the lake. It is on the northeast corner of the intersection. The neighborhood is commercial, with the surrounding structures used for that purpose. A parking lot is located to the east of the post office, accessible from Kurosaka. The building is set back generously from the street, with some landscaping and hedges located in front.</p><br>
<p>It is a one-story steel frame building on a raised foundation of poured concrete and sided in brick laid in English bond. The five-bay front facade is distinguished by a projecting three-bay central pavilion with a beveled-cornered hipped roof covered in slate. All other roofs are flat. Narrow stone coping runs around the entire building at the roofline. A four-bay rear projection contains the loading dock.</p><br>
<p>The central pavilion has angled corners. Its front facade has a centrally located segmental arch entrance with brick surround, lintel and keystone. A carved metal eagle surmounts the door. "UNITED STATES POST OFFICE" is written in bronze letters across the top of the facade, with "LAKE GEORGE NEW YORK 12845" in smaller letters below. Three granite steps lead up to the entrance from the sidewalk; a wheelchair ramp runs from the top to the south along the facade. It is flanked by the original iron railings and lanterns, atop fluted posts.</p><br>
<p>Inside, the lobby is L-shaped. It is floored in terrazzo, with a veined Vermont marble dado running around the room to counter level. Above it is wood panelling with bulletin boards. The tables and counters are original. Judson Smiths mural is painted on canvas above the entrance to the postmasters office.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Lake George has had a post office since 1825, 12 years after it was designated the seat of the newly created county, known as Caldwell after a major landowner of the time. For most of the 19th century the Post Office rented space in other buildings, as the village grew from being an economic center of the southeastern Adirondacks and stop on the major trade route to Canada to a popular summer colony.</p><br>
<p>In 1938 Congress appropriated $75,000 ($ in contemporary dollars) for the current post office as part of an ongoing relief effort during the Great Depression. The land was acquired and construction began the next year. The new post office was opened for business early in 1941.</p><br>
<p>Louis Simon, the supervising architect at the Treasury Department, used the Colonial Revival style, standard for most post offices in small communities across the country at that time. Notable features of that style in the Lake George post office are the brick facing, eagle ornament and symmetrical fenestration. The projecting central pavilion with flanking bays is also a specifically Georgian touch.</p><br>
<p>He also used some design elements more specifically associated with the contemporary Moderne and Art Deco styles, such as the angled corners, asymmetrical window panes and large expanses of brick above the windows. Only two other post offices in the state, at Frankfort and Middleport, built around the same time, use the same design. The Westhampton Beach post office on Long Island, also built in 1940, is also very similar. All of them show the influence of another Long Island post office, in Rockville Centre, built in 1937.</p><br>
<p>Judson Smith&#39;s mural was hung in 1942. Other than the installation of fluorescent lighting in the lobby in 1973, there have been no significant changes to the building since then.</p><br>
<p>Kahikolu Church is one of only two stone churches from the 19th century on the island of Hawaii. It was built from 1852 to 1855 on the site of an earlier building known as Kealakekua Church that was built around 1833 in the Kona district.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>English missionary William Ellis (1794–1872) toured the island in the summer of 1823 to determine locations for mission stations and suggested the village of Kaawaloa at the north end of Kealakekua Bay as one of the first sites for a church.</p><br>
<p>In February 1824 High Chiefess Kapiolani built a thatched house in the village of Kaawaloa for use as a Christian church by Rev. James Ely (1798–1890) and his family. Ely left Kaawaloa in 1828, replaced by Rev. Samuel Ruggles (1795–1871), who brought some coffee trees with him from the Hilo mission. Ruggles was replaced due to ill health in June 1833 by Rev. Cochran Forbes (1805–1880). Forbes built a house at a cooler elevation, at a site called Kuapehu which had been used to grow taro. In 1839, under the direction of Kapiolani, Forbes moved the mission to the south side of Kealakekua Bay, in an area called Kepulu, just inland from the village now called Nāpoopoo. Another house was built here, and a church which was 120 ft by 57 ft of stone and coral lime. In 1841 the Kealakekua Church was finished, and used until June 1845, when Forbes resigned because of his wife&#39;s ill health.</p><br>
<p>After six years with no pastor, Rev. John Davis Paris (1809–1892) arrived in 1852. His family had been at Waiōhinu for several years, returned to the United States, and then came back to the island and were posted to the Kealakekua congregation. He found the large old church in ruins.</p><br>
<p>He set about building a more solid but smaller stone church called Kahikolu on the site of the old one. Kahikolu means "three in one" in the Hawaiian language, which refers both to the Holy Trinity of the Christian faith, but also that it was the third attempt to build a church here. The width of the old church became the length of the new one, resulting in a building about 57 ft by 62 ft, with walls 35 in thick.</p><br>
<p>Kahikolu took three years to build, and included a bell donated by William E. Dodge of New York. It could hold a total of about 1200 people. Paris went on to build eight more churches (including Hale Halawai O Holualoa), and died in the area in 1892.</p><br>
<p>There are grave sites located on both sides of the church, some of which are unmarked. Several bear the name of "Kamakau", probably descendants of a chief Kelou Kamakau, born about 1773 who was mentioned in Ellis&#39; journal as a good source of history.</p><br>
<h2>Decline and restoration</h2><br>
<p>In 1925 a layer of plaster was added to the inside walls, and the ceiling and floor replaced.</p><br>
<p>In 1929, an earthquake caused one of the gable ends to tumble into the church. They were replaced with horizontal wood strips. Once the largest church on the west side of the island, its influence declined as population moved to other areas.</p><br>
<p>On August 21, 1951, an earthquake with magnitude 6.9 was centered almost under the church. The roof collapsed after more earthquakes in 1952 and 1953. The stone church was abandoned in 1953 due to the damage.</p><br>
<p>Kahikolu church was added to the National Register of Historic Places listings on the island of Hawaii on November 15, 1982 as site 82000148, and the state list as site 10-47-7215 on July 30, 1982. The only other stone church from this era on the island is Mokuaikaua Church, about 12 mi to the north.</p><br>
<p>A rebuilding effort lasted through the 1980s. Kahikolu Church restoration was completed around 1984.</p><br>
<p>In 1993, the body of one of the first native Hawaiians to become a Christian, Henry Ōpūkaha`ia, was reinterred at Kahikolu Church. Ōpūkaha`ia is credited (or blamed, depending on the speakers perspective) with starting Hawaiis conversion to Christianity and had travelled from Hawaiis Big Island by way of Connecticut to Yale University in 1809 where he studied English and Christianity and planned to return to Hawaii himself to preach. He contracted typhus fever and died in 1818 in Cornwall at the age of 26. `Ōpūkaha`ias family decided to return his body from his grave in Connecticut to Hawaii. On Aug. 15, 1993, his remains were laid in a vault facing the sea at Kahikolu Church. It was the third church established in Hawaii by missionaries inspired by Opukahaʻia. Hawaiis churches observe the third Sunday in February as a day of commemoration in honor of its first Christian. A plaque at the Cornwall gravesite reads: "In July of 1993, the family of Henry Opukahaia took him home to Hawaii for interment at Kahikolu Congregational Church Cemetery, Napoopoo, Kona, Island of Hawaii. Henry&#39;s family expresses gratitude, appreciation and love to all who cared for and loved him throughout the past years. Ahahui O Opukahaia".</p><br>
<p>The church was finally restored and opened again for use in 1999. A historical marker was added in 2003.</p><br>
<p>The address of the congregation is 82-5931 Napoopoo Road, Captain Cook, Hawaii 96704. Sunday services are held at 9:30 am with Sunday School at 8:30. The pastor (as of July 2011) is Wendell Davis. In November 2003, under the urging of pastor Davis, Kahikolu Congregational Church voted to disaffiliate from the United Church of Christ because of the UCC "open and affirming" ordination of practising gay and lesbian pastors. The members were considering leaving the UCC but have not actually done so as of 2013.</p><br>
<p>The variety of coffee Ruggles brought in 1828 thrived in the part of the island around Kealakekua, called the Kona District. Because it was the first coffee grown on the western side of the island, it is often referred to as the first Kona coffee, still popular today.</p><br>
<p>The Columbiana County Courthouse is located at 105 South Market Street in Lisbon, Ohio. The courthouse was added to the National Register on August 24, 1979, as part of the Lisbon Historic District.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Columbiana County was established in 1803 and was carved out of Jefferson County. Settlers had begun arriving since 1792 and had swelled to the proper numbers to form a county by the 1800s. The Ohio General Assembly selected New Lisbon, now known as Lisbon, as the county seat with the first courts being held in the home of a local citizen, Christian Smith.</p><br>
<p>The county soon built a simple log structure which cost $150 to build and furnish. This building would serve until 1817 when a new courthouse was needed. The county selected a plan for a two-story brick building with a square footprint. The interior was illuminated by rows of long rectangular windows on either side. The hipped roof topped off the building and contained a central cupola which rose into a long steeple. This courthouse served the county until 1870, when the county passed a decision for the design a new courthouse.</p><br>
<p>This design was awarded to H.E. Myer and was in the Italianate style. The building came with a price tag of $106,000 which was raised through taxation and bonds. In 1934, with the aid of WPA funds, the courthouse was renovated with some major changes to the overall look of the building.</p><br>
<p>A series of ten bonds(1) dated June 15, 1934 for the sum of $2,000 each were sold, a series of thirty bonds(2) dated April 1, 1935 for the sum of $1,000 each and a series of forty bonds(3) dated April 1, 1935 for the sum of $1,000 each were sold for the purpose of providing funds for permanently fireproofing, enlarging and improving the courthouse.</p><br>
<p>A series of twenty bonds(4) dated September 1, 1947 for the sum of $1,000 each were sold for the purpose of reconstructing the roof and repairing and reconstructing the interior of the courthouse.</p><br>
<p>(1) Numbered 1 - 10 at 5% interest</p><br>
<p>(2) Numbered 1 - 30 at 3% interest</p><br>
<p>(3) Numbered 1 - 40 at 3% interest</p><br>
<p>(4) Numbered 1 - 20 at 1 1/4% interest</p><br>
<h2>Exterior</h2><br>
<p>The two-story smooth stone building stands facing S. Market Street with Lincoln Way, or USA Route 30, to its side. The building&#39;s main entrance is located in a central projection and is reached by a flight of stairs. To either side of the projection are two long arched windows on the main floor with two smaller arched windows located in the basement floors. The second floor windows are massive and contain a long rectangular window topped with a fanlight.</p><br>
<p>On either side of the door in the central projection is a Doric column supporting the balcony above. Decorative brackets line the underside of the balcony and globe lights adorn the top. Above this balcony is a large recessed arch containing long rectangular windows which are crowned by a circular window. A tower tops the projection and is capped by a dome which is surmounted by a statue of Justice.</p><br>
<p>The roof was once in the mansard style and contained several courtrooms. The renovation of the WPA removed the roofline and changed it to the present flat roof.</p><br>
<p>Elkwood in Georgetown, Kentucky, also known as the Sabret and Nancy Payne Offut House, is a stone house built in c.1810. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.</p><br>
<p>Modifications in the 1860s or 1870s added two dormers and a central gable, and lengthened four windows. A one-story Victorian porch was added but later was removed.</p><br>
<p>It is associated with John Payne (1764–1837), one of Scott County&#39;s earliest settlers and a brigadier general in the War of 1812.</p><br>
<p>It is not far from the John Payne House, also listed on the National Register.</p><br>
<p>Belle Grove Plantation is a late-18th-century plantation house and estate in the northern Shenandoah Valley of Virginia, USA. It is situated in Frederick County, about a mile southwest of Middletown.</p><br>
<p>Built between 1794 and 1797, the large Federal-style manor house is a National Historic Landmark and was opened to the public by its owners, the National Trust for Historic Preservation (NTHP), as a historic house museum in 1967. In 2002, Belle Grove became part of the Cedar Creek and Belle Grove National Historical Park, a National Park Service unit, although it continues to be owned and operated by the NTHP.</p><br>
<p>It is part of a USA National Historic Landmark, the Cedar Creek Battlefield and Belle Grove Plantation. Belle Grove is also designated a Virginia Historic Landmark and, as part of 900 acre "Cedar Creek Battlefield and Belle Grove", is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>Historically important as the home of revolutionary veteran Major Isaac Hite, Jr – President James Madison’s brother-in-law – and as the headquarters of General Philip Sheridan during the Battle of Cedar Creek (1864), the manor house has been little altered over the centuries and remains one of the best preserved 18th century homes in the country. Affording grand vistas of the surrounding Shenandoah Valley, Blue Ridge and Alleghenies, the estate is situated on 283 acres of Maj. Hite’s original 483 acres. (The entire CCBGNHP, including the nearby battlefield, consists of 3,593 acres.)</p><br>
<h2>Grounds</h2><br>
<p>Belle Groves plantation grounds include the large limestone manor house (which accommodates the visitors center in its basement), an 1815 icehouse and smokehouse, a slave cemetery, a "heritage orchard", and a demonstration garden designed by the Garden Club of Virginia.</p><br>
<p>At the entrance to the plantation is a monument erected in 1919 in memory of Stephen Dodson Ramseur, a Confederate general who died at the plantation in 1864 following the Battle of Belle Grove.</p><br>
<h3>Manor house</h3><br>
<p>Exterior:</p><br>
<p>The symmetrical main block (which excludes the single west wing, added in 1815) consists of three stories: a basement, a piano nobile main floor, and an attic half-story. The corners are decorated with quoins. The front (south) elevation, which is the only one in which the limestone is finished, consists of seven bays: six with main floor windows (the extreme right and left are double width) and the center one with the main entry. Twelve steps ascend the elevated front portico, with its prominent pediment and four Tuscan-style columns, which encompasses the three central bays – of which the middle one has the main door and door surround, framed by two pilasters also of the Tuscan order. This main block originally had neo-classical-style porticos on all four sides, but today only the front and back (south and north) porticos survive.</p><br>
<p>Interior:</p><br>
<p>The interior is notable for its fine woodwork in a transitional style ranging from Georgian to Federal.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Jost Hite – grandfather of Major Isaac Hite, Jr – was a German immigrant to the Shenandoah Valley. In 1732, Jost and his partner Robert McKay, along with 16 other families, journeyed via the Valley Pike into the northern Valley to settle on 140,000 acre acquired through two land grants. One of Jost&#39;s sons – Isaac Hite, Sr – purchased 300 acre in 1748, and another 183 acre in 1770, just southwest of Middletown. Together, these would become the Belle Grove Plantation.</p><br>
<p>The first house on the Belle Grove site (a large limestone structure later called the “Old Hall”) was built for a tenant farmer around 1750. (Its foundations are still visible adjacent to the smokehouse.) Isaac, Jr, attended College of William & Mary and served in the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War. Upon their marriage in 1783, Isaac, Sr, gave his son and daughter-in-law – Nelly Conway Madison, sister of the future President – the 483 acre Belle Grove house and grounds. In 1794, construction began on the new mansion, which was completed in three years. It was constructed of local limestone quarried on the property, and, according to prevailing custom, was intended to display the owners&#39; high social and financial status. Thomas Jefferson, through the agency of his friend James Madison, made a number of suggestions to the architect which strongly influenced the final design. Madison is known to have visited the plantation several times, even staying in the "Old Hall" (before the larger house was built) during his own honeymoon in 1794.</p><br>
<p>After Nelly&#39;s death (1802), Major Hite married Ann Tunstall Maury. Of the three children born to the first marriage and the ten to the second, all but one lived into adulthood. In 1815, an addition was made at the west end of the house realizing the 100 ft facade that exists today. As his grain and livestock holdings grew, Maj. Hite expanded his estate to include a total of 7,500 acre of land and 103 slave workers. He eventually owned and operated a general store, grist-mill, saw-mill and distillery. After his death (1836), and that of Ann (1851), Belle Grove Plantation was sold out of the family.</p><br>
<p>By the start of the Civil War, the estate no longer existed as it had during the Hite family era. There was a succession of owners before the Brumback family purchased the property in 1907. The Brumbacks operated an inn there in the 1920s, but sold it to Francis Welles Hunnewell of Wellesley, Massachusetts in 1929. These 20th-century owners altered the house very little. With professional assistance, Mr. Hunnewell had the house carefully restored in the 1930s and 1940s. Upon his death in 1964, he bequeathed the house, 100 surrounding acres, and an endowment of $100,000 (~$ in ) to the National Trust for Historic Preservation. Belle Grove was opened as a house museum in 1967 and has been open to the public, as well as remaining a working farm, ever since.</p><br>
<p>The Smith–Dengler House is a private home located at 58555 US 41 in Wolverine, Calumet Charter Township, Michigan, United States. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2008.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Fred Smith was born in 1835 in Baden, Germany, and emigrated to the United States when he was twenty settling in the Keweenaw Peninsula. Smith worked for various mining and mercantile corporations, until in 1876 he joined the Allouez Mining Company, first as a clerk and then, in 1877, as mining captain. Smith worked in the Allouez mine until 1892, when it suspended operations; he then joined the Wolverine Copper Mining Company as superintendent. The Wolverine Mine had been established in Michigans Keweenaw Peninsula in 1882, but was "indifferently operated" until a reorganization in 1890 and Smiths subsequent stewardship.</p><br>
<p>In 1898, John Stanton established the Mohawk Mining Company five miles north of the Wolverine, and simultaneously gained control of the Wolverine Mine. Stanton was born in Bristol, England, in 1830. His family emigrated to the United States in 1835, where his father worked in and eventually owned coal and iron mines in Pennsylvania. John Stanton began his career as an engineer in his father&#39;s iron mines, but he moved to other iron and copper mines in Tennessee, Alabama, and Virginia. Stanton eventually came to the Keweenaw Peninsula, working first at the Central Mine and at the Atlantic Mine before establishing the Mohawk. Stanton assigned Fred Smith to supervise the Mohawk in addition to his supervision of the Wolverine. By the early 1900s, the Wolverine Mine employed 350 men and the Mohawk 450 men.</p><br>
<p>In 1899–1900, the Wolverine Copper Mining Company had this house built for Fred Smith and his family at a cost of nearly $12,000. Smith occupied the house until his retirement in 1913, after which Theodore Dengler, the new superintendent of the Wolverine and Mohawk Mines, moved in.</p><br>
<p>The mines closed in 1932, after which Dengler bought the house, reportedly for $22.50. Dengler reportedly committed suicide in the carriage house in 1940.</p><br>
<h2>Description and significance</h2><br>
<p>The Smith–Dengler House is a large Queen Anne–style mansion sided with clapboard on the first floor and wooden shingles above. It has an L-shaped plan and sits on a sandstone foundation. The house boasts multiple porches, bay windows, and an irregular roofline with multiple dormers.</p><br>
<p>The house is significant as an unchanged example of a large house built for the elite mine agents and superintendents during the boom copper-mining years in the 1890s and early 1900s. The house is also an excellent example of residential architectural work of the firm of Charlton, Gilbert & Demar.</p><br>
<p>The Womens National Republican Club is the oldest private club for Republican women in the United States, and was founded by Henrietta Wells Livermore in 1921. The club grew out of the earlier womens suffrage movement in New York which led to the Nineteenth Amendment. The club built its third and current home at 3 West 51st Street, New York City in 1934. That Neo-Georgian style building was built on the former site of Andrew Carnegie&#39;s home and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2013.</p><br>
<p>The club continues to serve its members with guest rooms and dining, in addition to political lectures. It allows men to join as associate members.</p><br>
<p>Carter Coal Company Store, also known as Consolidation Coal Company Store, is a historic company store building located at Caretta, McDowell County, West Virginia. It was built about 1912 by the Carter Coal Company, and is a one-story brick commercial building on a stone foundation. It has a gable roof. The building was originally T-shaped, but wood-frame additions built in 1922, spread the plan to an "L.". It ceased operating as a post office in August 2005.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.</p><br>
<p>The Parkview Apartments is a historic apartment building at 300 West 13th Avenue in Pine Bluff, Arkansas. It is a two-story masonry structure, built out of buff brick. It is a U-shaped building, with Classical Revival features, including a projecting cornice and a crenellated parapet at the center of the U. Built in about 1925, this twelve-unit building was then the largest apartment building in the state in terms of total square footage. Parkview Apartments was the work of O.C. Hauber, a businessman who played a major role in the growth and development of Pine Bluff in the early 20th century.</p><br>
<p>The property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.</p><br>
<p>The Parkview Historic District in New Orleans, Louisiana is a 263 acre historic district that was listed on the National Register of Historic Places  in 1995.</p><br>

<p>The Oxford Hotel is a historic building in Denver, Colorado, which was designed by early Denver architect Frank Edbrooke, and built in 1891. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979. The Cruise Room is a hotel bar with historic art deco interior, that was operated as an illicit speakeasy.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Oxford Hotel was built in 1891.</p><br>
<p>In February 1908, Bill Haywood and two other officers of the Western Federation of Miners were secretly held overnight in adjacent rooms in the Oxford, by the Denver police. Their stay at the Oxford was kept secret so their supporters could not try to block their extradition early the next morning by a special train to Idaho, to be tried for conspiracy in the assassination of a former governor of Idaho.</p><br>
<p>In the 1950s, the Oxford Hotel was considered a flophouse. In the 1980s a new owner improved the hotel.</p><br>
<p>The hotel restaurant was operated by McCormicks Fish House from when they signed a lease with the Oxford Hotel in 1987 until 2016. Today, Urban Farmer Steakhouse operates as The Oxford Hotels restaurant partner.</p><br>
<h2>The Cruise Room</h2><br>
<p>The Cruise Room is a bar located within the Oxford Hotel, considered a historic, upscale cocktail lounge, and known for its preserved Art Deco interior. It officially opened the day after prohibition ended. The bar is a single, windowless room, on the ground floor of The Oxford Hotel, located between the Corner Bar at McCormick&#39;s Fish House and the hotel lobby.</p><br>
<h3>History</h3><br>
<p>The bar opened as part of the Oxford Hotel in 1891, and was known for its martinis, though not originally named the Cruise Room.</p><br>
<p>During prohibition, The Cruise Room operated as an illicit speakeasy. Employees know of secret paneling and tunnels.</p><br>
<p>The Cruise Room was officially opened (with its full interior and full bar) the day after Prohibition ended. As an extension of the hotel and its restaurant, this bar has operated continually since its official opening.</p><br>
<p>The Cruise Room has remained an independent establishment, managed in a partnership between the operator of the restaurant (now Urban Farmer, owned by Sage Restaurant Collection) and the Oxford Hotel.</p><br>
<p>In 2012, the Cruise Room was restored, including historically accurate paint and light-pumpkin color. The marble floor was also replaced. This restoration was initiated by owner/developer Dana Crawford, who became a partner in the Oxford Hotel in 1980.</p><br>
<p>The drinks menu was also updated, emphasizing contemporary "mixology", and includes drinks like "Pineapple Julep", "Whiskey Clover Smash", and "Pomegranate Sling". The bar also offers more than a dozen martinis, served from oversized martini shakers.</p><br>
<h3>Interior design</h3><br>
<p>The interior was modeled after a lounge on the ocean liner. The design was by Denver architect Charles Jaka, and featured Art Deco bas-relief wall panels that stretch from floor to ceiling, created by Denver artist Alley Henson. Each panel depicts a "toast" from a different culture around the world. The interior has an unusual color juxtaposition, with red lighting shining down on chrome trim and historically accurate light-pumpkin-colored walls.</p><br>
<p>One of the wall panel depicts Germans toasting, and features Hitler. This panel was taken down during World War II, and was replaced by one depicting Ireland.</p><br>
<p>The Howard School in Rosebud County near Forsyth, Montana was built in 1905. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004. The listing included the schoolhouse, a well house, two outhouses, and a playground.</p><br>
<p>The school is a large, rectangular, two-story white clapboard building, built to replace an original log cabin school. It was extended in 1916. It is located in the Howard Valley, on the south side of the Yellowstone River, about 11 mi from Forsyth. The school building is visible from many miles away.</p><br>
<p>The Elisha Straight House, now the Hartford Museum, is located on Main Street in Hartford, New York, United States, a short distance north of NY 149. It is a red wooden house dating to the early 19th century.</p><br>
<p>At the beginning of the Civil War it was used as a local recruitment center for the Union Army, since many local men wanted to serve due to strong abolitionist sentiment in the area. Today it is a local history museum. In 2004 it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>The Young House is an historic estate in Jessamine County, Kentucky, United States, between Nicholasville and Wilmore off of Kentucky Route 29 on Lexington Road. Popular legend has it that the house was the birthplace of Bennett H. Young, an American Civil War soldier, lawyer, and architect.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The house pictured here is the former house of Dr. Brown Young. He was the son of Dr. Archibald and Martha Young, who lived in the home adjacent to the north. Archibald was apparently either the brother or the cousin of Robert Young (there was more than one), and both of them were among the several sons of John Young, who had been a revolutionary War soldier.</p><br>
<p>Brown Young married Emline Drake, whose family owned the property adjacent to the south of the B. Young house. Brown and Emline had a daughter, Adelia (b. 1846), who married a Leonard Willis. According to the Lamont Family DNA study, the Youngs may also have had a son named Samuel (b. 1849), but there is no mention of this son in the biographical sketch of Dr. Brown Young in Kentucky: A History of the State (Battle, et al., 1887), so he may have died in infancy or childhood.</p><br>
<p>The 150 acres is now a working Angus farm named Sycamore Hill in reference to the Sycamore trees that line the driveway. The property is owned by the Ashbrook family although they do not occupy the main house. It is rented as a single family home.</p><br>
<p>The property was placed on the United States National Register of Historic Places on July 13, 1984.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The Young House was supposedly built between 1814 and 1820, and is decorated in the Italianate style. The two-story, nine-room house has 18 -inch-thick brick exterior walls and is now a total of approximately 3600 square feet in size. It has wide-plank, ash wood flooring.</p><br>
<p>The Old Homestead in Aberdeen, Mississippi was built in c.1852. It has also been known as Dr. George Augustus Sykes House and Julian T. Evans House. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988. The listing includes 2 contributing buildings.</p><br>
<p>The house is eclectic with elements of Greek Revival architecture and Gothic Revival architecture. The dominant feature of the front facade is a two-story portico in the central bay of five bays. The portico is decorated by pierced archivolts with pendants between its two columns and between the columns and matching pilasters on the house.</p><br>
<p>A barn on the property was, as of 1988, the only high style Gothic Revival ancillary building in Aberdeen.</p><br>
<p>In 1988, it was still occupied by a descendant of Dr. George Augustus Sykes, for whom the house was built.</p><br>
<p>In 2006, The Old Homestead was put up for auction by Sykes descendant Boonie Evans, and on April 24 the home was purchased by Caius and Linda Dodd along with some of its original furnishings.</p><br>
<p>The Old Union School is a historic school building at 504 Old Union Road in Birdell, Arkansas. It is a single-story wood frame Plain Traditional structure, with a corrugated metal gable roof and a stone foundation. Built in 1913, it is one of the few older structures in Birdell, and the only one-room schoolhouse in southwestern Randolph County. The building was used as a school until 1941, and saw only occasional use for other community purposes until 1991, when it underwent a major restoration. It is now used as a community hall.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1993.</p><br>
<p>The Old Washington County Courthouse in Oklahoma is a reinforced concrete building that was built in 1913. It was designed by P.H. Weathers in Second Renaissance Revival style. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1981.</p><br>
<p>Washington County was founded in 1907, but it was not until 1912 that a bond issue to fund the courthouse was passed, on the third attempt.</p><br>
<p>The Mt. Prospect Methodist Church was designed by John Pickering in a Greek Revival style and was built in 1886. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.</p><br>
<p>It has been viewed as "the finest example in the local area of a vernacular Greek Revival church design."</p><br>

<p>Ebenezer Presbyterian Church is located near Keene, Kentucky in Jessamine County, Kentucky, United States. The first Ebenezer Church on the site was organized by Presbyterian minister Adam Rankin around 1790. The first church building, a log structure, was replaced by a stone building in 1803.</p><br>
<p>The property was added to the United States National Register of Historic Places on June 23, 1983.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Adam Rankin founded Ebenezer Church around 1790. A log building was constructed on property owned by Ephraim January. Robert Hamilton Bishop became the second minister of the church in 1803 when Rankin left.</p><br>
<h2>Ebenezer Cemetery Association</h2><br>
<p>The Ebenezer Cemetery Association was founded in 1922 by descendants of the church founders. The group meets annually on the church grounds for its picnic.</p><br>
<p>The William H. Grant House, also known as Sheltering Arms Hospital, is a historic house located in Richmond, Virginia. It was built in 1857, and is a large, three-story brick townhouse in the Italianate style. It features a small, richly ornamented arched front porch supported by coupled square columns. In 1892, the house was acquired by the Sheltering Arms Hospital, who occupied it until 1965. It is connected to the Benjamin Watkins Leigh House.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1969.</p><br>
<p>Currently, the building is owned by Virginia Commonwealth University and houses office space for the Department of Dermatology and Risk Management unit.</p><br>
<p>De Lamar  is a ghost town in Owyhee County, Idaho, United States. Its elevation is 5,463 ft, and it is approximately 6 mi west of Silver City. The community lies within an area governed by the Bureau of Land Management.</p><br>
<p>The community formed around the De Lamar Mine, which was established in 1888. Named for mining magnate and former sea captain Joseph Raphael De Lamar, the mine and community quickly boomed and busted, declining after 1890. Despite the community&#39;s decline, it continued to exist as a populated community for several decades; it was the location of a summer-only post office from 1917 to 1930.</p><br>
<p>In 1976, the ghost town was listed on the National Register of Historic Places as a historic district. Although the district included an area of approximately 1,600 acre, only four of the community&#39;s buildings remained in sufficient condition to qualify as contributing properties.</p><br>
<p>The Chesterton Commercial Historic District is a historic district in Chesterton, Indiana.</p><br>
<p>Originally called Coffee Creek and located a little to the south of the current downtown, the name was changed some time after the post office was established in 1833 to Calumet, the river to the north. When the Lake Shore and Michigan Railroad came through the area in 1852, the town moved north to the current location and began to develop. The town&#39;s name was not changed to Chesterton until after the Civil War. There appears to have been confusion with Calumet, Illinois, further up the track.</p><br>
<p>The town&#39;s location along the railroad helped industry to grow. Soon, there was a cooperage, sawmills, a washing machine factory, and an organ company. Among the better examples of the towns growth are the commercial building on the southwest corner of Broadway and Calumet Rd, and the old Chesterton Tribune Building.</p><br>
<h2>Key buildings</h2><br>
<p>All structures are historically contributing towards the Historic District Status, unless otherwise noted. An O rating signifies that the structure had enough historic or architectural significance to be considered for individual listing in the National Register of Historic Places. The N rating signifies that the structure is above average and may, with further investigation be eligible for an individual listing. The C or contributing rating signifies that the structure meet the basic inventory qualifications, but fails to meet individual merit, but in combination with other closely placed similar structures warrants inclusion in an historic district.</p><br>
<p>No. 1. 132–134 North Calumet Road, I.O.O.F Lodge – The International Order of Odd Fellows Lodge was built, shortly after the devastating fire of 1902. The local chapter purchased this site in 1910, removed the original wood-frame building, and built this brick and stone trimmed building. While of no particular style, the oriel bay, cornice work, and heavy window lintels give the building a modest Neo-Classical Revival influence. The building is a rhomboid to fit the irregular block layout of the downtown. The lodge used the upper floors of the building and rented the ground floor to shopkeepers. The wooden storefront configuration of large windows with wood frames and a recessed entry with wood single light door seems to be the original layout. The central and corner piers of brick banded with stone divide the storefront in halves. The south entry leads to a stairs to the upper floor. Taking advantage of the unusual lot, the storefront wraps around to the north side of the building with a single window to catch the eye of pedestrians up the street. The upper floor is hard fired dark brown face brick. The upper floor windows are one-over-one double hung windows with stone sills and lintels. Over the north half storefront, the second floor has a rectangular oriel window with simple classical ornamentation, and a double window to the front and narrow windows on the sides. The cornice has brick corbels at two points and a table of alternately recessed bricks, creating the impression of dentils. A stone coping caps the parapet, which crow steps down to the west or rear of the building. Datagraphic Printing is housed in the building.</p><br>
<p>No. 2. 130 North Calumet Road or 101 Broadway, The Queen Anne commercial building on the southwest corner of Broadway and Calumet Road was built. In 1888, Elias Thomas built a brick building here. In 1898, the store was rebuilt by Myron and Harry Smith who operated a general dry goods store called M. Smith and Son. His son Harry operated the store until his death in 1961. Harry&#39;s son Richard continued the business until 1973. This building has a flat-iron shape and the entry bay wall and second floor above is chambered. The chambered face of the storefront has double leaf wood doors with a wood transom above. The lintel over the doorway is sentimental arch shaped and has scroll shaped corner blocks supporting it. The brick corner piers flanking the door have stone banding. Steel or iron I-beam lintels with rosettes span the tops of the side storefronts, which have wood framed large windows and transoms. The flank of the building along Calumet Road has a row of small multi-pane windows set high on the wall. Each has a stone sill and sentimental arched, multi-coursed arches top each square headed window. A double row of saw tooth-laid brick link the window arches. On the second floor, full size one-over-one double hungs march along the Calumet Road side, each with a stone sill and sawtooth coursing linking the sills and arches. The arches on the second floor are header multi-coursed with a projecting extrados course forming a hood. The north elevation facing Broadway has a double window on the second floor with a single broad arch over both windows. Decorative balusters with finials stand atop the entrance chambered bay and the end of the building facing Calumet.</p><br>
<p>The bulk of the historic district in on the east side of Calumet Road. The southern end of the district starts across from Indiana Ave. It runs north to the tracks.</p><br>
<p>No. 3. 193 North Calumet Road, The Chesterton Tribune Building is the most southern building and was built after the great fire of 1902. It is considered a Twentieth Century function style, similar to most of the buildings in the district. The Chesterton Tribune commissioned construction of this building in 1904 and it continues to serve as the paper&#39;s headquarters. Arthur Bowser first published the paper in 1884 * and he owned the paper when the decision was made to build this structure. It is a two-story brick commercial building. The ground floor storefront has been altered; stucco covers the kick panels and piers. An old-fashioned style simple cloth awning covers the storefront. The original steel or iron I-beam spanning the ground floor remains intact along with the decorative rosettes. The red brick walls rise above the I-beam and three windows puncture the wall, each with dressed stone sills and lintels. Centered over the windows, a stone tablet reads "The Chesterton Tribune". The elaborate parapet gives the building a slight Romanesque Revival style flavor. First, a beltcourse of sawtooth-laid brick runs across, then a frieze of alternating recessed single bricks. The raised brick corbels dividing the upper parapet into four panels mimic machicolations, with infilling of progressively corbeled courses of brick. J.G. Graessle bought the paper from Bowser in 1923, Warren Canright purchased it in 1928, and held the paper until his death in 1975. His son Warren and grandson David continue to publish the Tribune out of the building. The Tribune is the oldest existing business in Chesterton, and still publishes daily except for Sundays.,</p><br>
<p>No. 4. 139–141 North Calumet Road, 1903, The Smith Block was also built. The Smith Block was constructed in 1903. The first floor housed various businesses while the Knights of Pythias Lodge used the second floor as their meeting hall from 1903 until 1968. The local Knights of Columbus lodge has occupied the space since 1969. The first floor storefront seems to be a remodeling, utilizing aluminum and glass doors and muntins to hold the large plate glass shop windows. It seems that the recessed central entry configuration was retained from the original storefront design, due to the placement of the structural columns. The storefront end piers of brick and stone are original. The second floor tan face brick walls have an Arts and Crafts feeling, especially in the use of the central Chicago window. The parapet area has three recessed brick panels with stone corner tabs, the center panel has a stone tablet with raised letters spelling "SMITH BLOCK" in a simple sans-serif typeface. A table of stone corbels runs across above the panels. The rest of the parapet is plain brick.</p><br>
<p>No. 5. 137A North Calumet Road, This building was constructed to replace one of those lost in the 1902 fire. The ground floor has been altered with residential style windows and wood siding. The upper floor has three windows, each having rock-faced stone lintels and sills. The cornice has a few simple flourishes; first comes a belt course of red terra cotta blocks with bulls-eyes cast into them, then a course of cyma reverse-molded brick topped by a rock-faced coping.</p><br>
<p>No. 6. 137B North Calumet Road, This small story shop was home to a barber shop until the 1960s. The wooden storefront seems to be original, with recessed kick panels below a large wood framed window, and the recessed entrance set to the north with single light wood door. The metal awning is from the 1950s. The face brick walls have two double recessed panels on the parapet and a stone coping.</p><br>
<p>No. 7. 135 North Calumet Road, The Hoham Block is two buildings to the north and is also a Twentieth Century Functional style. The Hoham Block is a two-story brick and stone commercial building. In 1903, Bennett Morgan constructed this building as a hardware store. He and his son Robert operated the store until Bennett died in 1974. The double recessed entrance storefront seems to have some original features and others dating from perhaps the 1930s. The iron corner piers are original, the doorways appear to be original, but the metal framing and edging for the shop windows seems to be a Moderne style replacement. The upper floor face brick walls have two bays, one wood double hung window with stone sill and lintel, and an oriel window. The semihexagonal bay has pressed metal kick panels and entablature, both have Classical swag and floral motifs. A stone tablet with raised letters spelling "HOHAM BLOCK" is centered over the window and oriel. The cornice has a lower sawtooth course of brick, a run of alternately recessed brick, fake machicolations, and a three course corbel table with stone coping. The sides of the building always stood above its neighbors and have several operable windows. Country Loft Crafts occupies this store currently.</p><br>
<p>No. 8. 133 North Calumet Road, this one story shop was once used by neighboring Morgan Hardware. It has a inwardly angled shop front with aluminum and glass central door framed by brick end piers. The parapet wall is plain face brick with dressed stone coping.</p><br>
<p>No. 9. Non-contributing – 131 North Calumet Road, After the 1902 fire, this site lay vacant until 1935, when Walter Baur built this store. The building is covered in wood siding and considered non-contributing. It may still have the original brick detailing beneath the siding</p><br>
<p>No. 10. 129 North Calumet Road, 1903, A local butcher rebuilt on this site after the 1902 fire, and used this building until the 1940s. In its craft details and original intent, this building is virtually the same as 137 A North Calumet (#5). Only the alterations make it significantly different.</p><br>
<p>No. 11. 127 North Calumet Road, 1902, Hess Restaurant and Hotel used this building from 1902 until 1920. From 1920 until recent years, Johnson Grocery Store occupied the building. Anton Insurance Company now utilizes this building and the neighboring block at 129 Calumet. 127 is a two-story, three bay commercial block. The first story shop front was remodeled in. The front is angled inward in a single plane, with two shop windows to the south and a double entry to the north. The kick panel area is brick and the doors and windows are framed in brushed natural metal (likely aluminum). The second floor has three windows with stone sills and lintels. The cornice has false machicolations and corbeled brick courses.</p><br>
<p>No. 12. 125 North Calumet Road, 1903, The same craftsman responsible for the masonry work on 129 and 137 Calumet may have built the cornice treatment for 125, since the same bulls-eye terra cotta block and cyma-reversa molded brick work links all three buildings visually. The building at 125 is different from the other two in that it is only a one-story building. The owners of Flannerys Tavern remodeled the storefront significantly in the 1940s or 50s with large banks of glass block, fixed picture windows and a metal awning. The upper parapet section of brick has been painted, and the neon sign is likely from the 1950s. The cornice has been painted also. A saloon stood here as early as the 1880s. After the fire of 1902, the owners rebuilt a saloon on this site. From 1910 to 1915, Jeffreys Motion Pictures (only silent films at the time) was located here. A pool hall used the building from about 1915 until the mid-1930s, when Flannery&#39;s Tavern opened.</p><br>
<p>No. 13. 123 North Calumet Road, This one story brick building was one of few to withstand the devastating fire of 1902. It was built as Lowenstine Clothing Store in 1898 and purchased by Charles A. Smith about 1908, when Lowenstine moved to Valparaiso. Smith operated the store until the early 1960s when it was sold to Falveys Mens Store.</p><br>

<p>Chesterfield is a ghost town in Caribou County, Idaho, United States. It is located in Gem Valley at an elevation of 5,446 ft. The community includes a cemetery and former buildings of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints  such as a former meeting house, amusement hall and tithing house.</p><br>
<p>Located along a route of the Oregon Trail, Chesterfield was founded by Mormon settlers in 1881. After a railroad line was built through Bancroft to the south, the community lost some of its momentum, and agricultural difficulties led to its desertion by the end of the 1930s. Today, the community is operated as a tourist attraction, with guided tours and a museum.</p><br>
<p>In 1980, the community was listed on the National Register of Historic Places as a historic district and is also on the Mormon Historic Sites Foundation&#39;s Mormon Historic Sites Registry. The historic district includes 41 buildings and eight sites, spread out over an area of 2,160 acre. Some buildings in the district are examples of the Greek Revival and Queen Anne architectural styles.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In 1879, Chester Call and his nieces husband, Christian Nelson, established a horse ranch in the area. Thinking this might be a good area in which to live, Chester Call told his family and friends about the area and they decided to come and settle in 1881 and 1882. Chesterfields first settlers built their homes in the river bottom of the Portneuf River, west of present-day Chesterfield. Unlike typical Mormon settlements, which were founded by settlers sent by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (hereafter referred to as LDS) authorities, the community was founded spontaneously by its first settlers and not set up in the typical compact, grid patterned townsite. Also in 1881, the Union Pacific Railroad started to construct the Oregon Short Line Railroad to the south of Chesterfield, running through present-day Bancroft. The new settlers sold logs and railroad ties to the railroad, raising much needed cash.</p><br>
<p>In 1883, LDS Church authorities visited the area to establish a branch. While there, the visiting leaders asked their members to organize into a central village, away from the Portneuf River flood plain. The current Chesterfield townsite was chosen up along the foothills. As in traditional Mormon towns, Chesterfield was laid out in a grid pattern, consisting of thirty-five ten-acre blocks. By 1890, the LDS meetinghouse and a store were the only buildings on the townsite as a mistake in the government survey kept the land off the market for a time.</p><br>
<p>The LDS Chesterfield Ward was established in 1884 consisting of 136 people in 24 families. By 1900, the population had steadily grown to 73 families containing 418 people in the Chesterfield Ward and 150 people in the recently split off Hatch Ward.</p><br>
<h2>Historical buildings</h2><br>
<p>The LDS Meetinghouse is the most prominent and best preserved building in Chesterfield. It was built between 1887 and 1892.</p><br>
<p>The original Amusement Hall was erected in 1895, next door to the LDS Meetinghouse. The building was the center for social activities for Chesterfield. It consisted of a large room with a hardwood dance floor and a stage. Over time, the building was reduced to ruins. The Amusement Hall was restored between 1999 and 2003.</p><br>
<p>LDS members pay tithing to the Church. Few members could pay cash around 1900, so grains, vegetables, eggs and farm animals were instead paid "in kind". The Tithing Office and the Tithing Granary were constructed in 1900. Grain donations were stored in the Tithing Granary. The Tithing Office was where members came to pay their tithing and the goods were dispensed to those in need; the facility acted as a sort of a warehouse and general store.</p><br>
<p>The Nathan Barlow House, built about 1900, was the home of the postmaster and owner of the general store. After the Panic of 1907 and the harsh winter of 1907-1908, Nathan Barlow lost all of his money and moved out of the community. The home was restored in 2009, with descendants of Nathan Barlow contributing the furnishings.</p><br>
<p>The Ira Call cabin is a saltbox style home. It contained two polygamous families for a short time.</p><br>
<p>Aunt Ruth Call Davids cabin built of red pine logs with a dirt floor in 1881 and 1882. Aunt Ruth was a Native American who was adopted by Chester Calls parents in the 1860s. As the town&#39;s midwife, she delivered most of the babies.</p><br>

<p>Custer is a ghost town in Custer County, Idaho, United States. Established in 1877, it is at {{coord|44|23|15|N|114|41|45|W|type:city}} , at an elevation of 6,470 feet . It lies along Yankee Fork Road southwest of the city of Challis, within the Challis National Forest.</p><br>
<p>In 1981, the community was listed on the National Register of Historic Places as a historic district. Although the district covers 29 acre, only seven buildings retain enough historic integrity to qualify as contributing properties.</p><br>
<p>Most of Custer is now included in the Land of the Yankee Fork State Park, which also includes the nearby historic Yankee Fork gold dredge.</p><br>
<p>The Old Harbor Reservation Parkways are three historic roads in the Old Harbor area of Boston. They are part of the Boston parkway system designed by Frederick Law Olmsted. They include</p><br>
<p>all of William J. Day Boulevard, running from Castle Island to Kosciuszko Circle along Pleasure Bay and the Old Harbor shore.</p><br>
<p>the part of Columbia Road from its northeastern end at Farragut Road west to Pacuska Circle (formerly called Preble Circle). This section of road runs quite close to Day Boulevard for much of its length, diverging to form the northern boundary of Joe Moakley Park (formerly called Columbus Park). A discontiguous segment of Columbia Road running southwest from Kosciuszko Circle into Dorchester is not part of the parkway system.</p><br>
<p>the part of Old Colony Avenue from its southern end near Kosciuszko Circle, northward to Pacuska Circle. This section of road forms the western border of Joe Moakley Park. Old Colony Avenue north of Pacuska Circle is not part of the parkway system.</p><br>
<p>These roadways follow the southern shoreline of South Boston west from Castle Island, and surround what is now known as Joe Moakley Park. The southernmost point of these roadways is Kosckiuszko Circle. The roadways were added to the National Register of Historic Places on July 24, 2008.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>When Frederick Law Olmsted drafted his plans for Boston&#39;s Emerald Necklace of parks in the 1870s, it included the notion of a connection between Franklin Park and the coastline of South Boston and Dorchester, with a waterfront park area. The first formal proposal for the parkland that is now Joe Moakley Park and the causeway connecting Castle Island to the mainland were submitted by Olmsted in the 1880s. Implementation of these plans was delayed in part because Castle Island was still under federal military jurisdiction.</p><br>
<p>Because of this, the causeway that opened in 1892 was separated from Castle Island by a drawbridge, and it was on that that the oldest of the parkways (originally Gardner Way, now the eastern half of Day Boulevard) was opened. The island would not be fully connected until the 1930s. The development of Joe Moakley Park and the surrounding parkways was planned as part of the connection between Franklin Park and Marine Park (the eastern end of Day Boulevard), with land takings beginning in the 1890s. Old Colony Avenue was laid out in 1898 on a former railroad right-of-way, but the Strandway (now the southern part of Day Boulevard) was not completed until the 1920s. Later aspects of this work were designed by Olmsted protege Arthur Shurcliff.</p><br>
<p>The USA Post Office in Granville, New York, United States, is located on Main Street  in the center of the village. It is a brick building serving the ZIP Code 12832, which covers the village and surrounding areas of the Town of Granville.</p><br>
<p>It was built in the mid-1930s as part of a relief effort to provide jobs during the Depression. Like many post offices in small towns from that era designed by Treasury Department Supervising Architect Louis Simon, it uses the Colonial Revival architectural style. Within that style of post office in New York, it is distinguished by the raised parapet on its roofline, found on only two other post offices in the state, and the asymmetrical arrangement of its front facade, very unusual on a post office of that size erected at that time. In 1989 it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the only building in the village of Granville yet listed.</p><br>
<h2>Building</h2><br>
<p>The post office is situated on a narrow lot on the south side of Main Street. The surrounding neighborhood is entirely composed of two-story commercial buildings. There is a narrow alley between the post office and the building to its east, and a driveway on the west leading to a parking lot in the rear. It is set back from the street slightly more than its neighbors, with plantings and a flagpole in front.</p><br>
<p>It is a five-by-six-bay one-and-a-half–story steel frame structure on a raised foundation of slate on the front and cast stone on the rear and sides. The upper floors are faced in brick laid in common bond. The gabled roof is shingled in slate with raised parapets topped by stone coping at the gable ends. The bricks of the parapets are stacked to appear as a false chimney. The four-bay rear wing has a flat roof with stone coping; a loading dock projects from it.</p><br>
<p>The northern (front) facade has the recessed, arched entryway placed asymmetrically, in the westernmost bay. It is decorated with a marble scrolled keystone and end blocks. The entryway itself, level with the sidewalk, has a coffered ceiling and paneled reveal. It is topped with a fanlight.</p><br>
<p>Marble piers 9 feet (3 m) high are at either corner of the front. The window on the easternmost bay is smaller than the middle three. All have splayed brick lintels, marble keystones and sills. Above them are bronze letters reading "UNITED STATES POST OFFICE GRANVILLE, NEW YORK" and a marble beltcourse setting off the mezzanine-level eyebrow windows with metal screens. Those windows, in turn, are topped with a bracketed box cornice.</p><br>
<p>The entrance leads to a vestibule with stairs and another set of double wood doors to the lobby, which runs perpendicular to the main facade. It has flagstone floors and a similar dado around the walls to counter height. The ceiling is plaster with a molded cornice. The wooden tables and bulletin board are original.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Granvilles first post office was established in 1797, after the villages location in New York (rather than Vermont, which it borders on the east) was settled. Like many other post offices in small towns, it was located in rented space in other buildings throughout most of the 19th century, and the first quarter of the 20th.</p><br>
<p>In 1931, Congress authorized the construction of 136 new post offices in New York as an early relief measure against the onset of the Great Depression. Granville&#39;s was among them. Construction began in 1935 following the demolition of a row of stores that had occupied the site. A Maryland-based contractor did the work for the $75,000 ($ in contemporary dollars) that had been budgeted. It was completed and opened the following year.</p><br>
<p>Louis A. Simon, supervising architect for the Treasury Department, designed the building in the Colonial Revival mode, standard for post offices in small communities since the early years of the 20th century. For Granville, Simon applied the style in an unusually ornate, atypical way. In addition to features like the entry arch and the cornice, its raised parapet at the gable is found on only two other post offices in the state, Dobbs Ferry downstate and Hudson Falls nearby. And while he or other Treasury postal architects sometimes used asymmetrical facades on smaller, three-bay structures like that at Whitehall to the north, Granville&#39;s is the only Depression-era five-bay post office in New York with one.</p><br>
<p>The Pigeon Forge Mill, commonly called the Old Mill, is a historic gristmill in the USA city of Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. Located along the West Fork of the Little Pigeon River, the mill complex currently consists of a millhouse, breastshot wheel, and milldam, all of which are operative. The mill is the only structure in Pigeon Forge listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>Now a souvenir shop and restaurant, the Pigeon Forge Mill was once part of a small industrial complex established by local businessman Isaac Love (1783&ndash;1854) that included the iron forge for which the city was named. The mill was initially used to grind grain&mdash; mainly corn, wheat, and oats&mdash; for local farmers. During the USA Civil War (1861&ndash;1865), the mill powered several looms which produced cloth for the military. In the early 1900s, a generator was installed at the mill which provided electricity to the area until 1930. After the establishment of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park a few miles to the south in 1934, Pigeon Forge gradually evolved into a tourist boom town, and the mill became a popular stop for passing tourists.</p><br>
<h2>Location</h2><br>
<p>The Pigeon Forge Mill is situated on the east bank of the West Fork of the Little Pigeon River, which flows down out of the Great Smoky Mountains to the south and passes through Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge before joining the Little Pigeon River proper in Sevierville a few miles downstream from the mill. The mill is accessible via Old Mill Avenue, which intersects US 441 (Parkway, Light #7) near the center of Pigeon Forge. A small plaza of shops, known as the Old Mill Square, has developed in the mill&#39;s immediate vicinity.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Pigeon Forge Mill is located on land that was originally part of a 151 acre plot of land granted in 1810 to Mordecai Lewis (1751&ndash;1817), a Revolutionary War veteran from Virginia. Before his death, Lewis may have erected a tub mill along the river (no longer standing). In 1817, Lewis&#39;s son-in-law, Isaac Love, built the iron forge for which the city would eventually be named. Taking advantage of a Tennessee state law that allowed tax incentives for the creation of iron works on unfarmable land, Love acquired over 7,000 acre of the surrounding country. Love mined brown hematite ore in the hills northeast of the forge, and transported the ore to the forge using ox-drawn wagons. The forge included a bloomery furnace which converted the ore into pig iron, and a 500 lb trip hammer that molded the pig iron into bar iron.</p><br>
<p>In 1830, Love and his sons built a large gristmill adjacent to the iron furnace, which was used by local farmers to grind grain. As his iron business was never profitable, Love eventually ceased iron production, and sold the entire operation to Alexander Preston in 1841. On May 29 of that same year, Isaac&#39;s son, William, established a post office for the community that had developed around the complex, giving it the name "Pigeon Forge."</p><br>
<p>Preston operated the Pigeon Forge iron works under the name "Sweden Furnace" until 1849, when he sold the mill and furnace to local businessman John Sevier Trotter (1807&ndash;1884). By 1856, Trotter was producing two tons of bar iron annually at the Pigeon Forge furnace. During the USA Civil War, Trotter&mdash; a Union supporter&mdash; installed looms in the mill to furnish uniforms for local Union volunteers (Trotters son, William, commanded a company at the Battle of Fort Sanders in late 1863). After the war, Trotter expanded the mill, most notably adding a 60-rpm, 30-horsepower wooden wheel (the current breastshot wheel was a later addition), and establishing a sawmill at the site. Trotters son, George, dismantled and sold the iron furnace in 1885, but continued operating the mill.</p><br>
<p>In December 1900, the Pigeon Forge Mill was purchased by local businessman A.T. Householder. Shortly afterward a generator was installed, providing electricity to the string of houses that occupied the river opposite the mill. The current milldam was completed in 1916. The mill was remodeled several times throughout the 20th century by subsequent owners to cater to the tourist traffic along US-441.</p><br>
<h2>Design</h2><br>
<p>The Pigeon Forge Mill is a three-story structure supported by 14 ft by 14 ft yellow poplar logs, which in turn rest on several pillars of large river rock (now reinforced by concrete). These pillars have helped preserve the mill through several disastrous floods, most notably floods in 1875 and 1920, both of which washed away bridges at the mill site. The interior of the mill consists of hand-hewn hemlock and oak walls, held together by hickory pegs, and the millhouses exterior walls have been weatherboarded with yellow poplar boards. The floor consists of nailed pine boards. The elongated section on the north side of the millhouse was built in the latter half of the 19th century to house the mills new sawmill.</p><br>
<p>The Pigeon Forge Mill makes use of both the 24 ft breatshot wheel that characterizes its exterior and several smaller tub wheels. Water is diverted to the wheels via the milldam, which spans the length of the river. The mill uses two two-ton French burr millstones for grinding.</p><br>
<p>The Salem Historic District is located along Main Street  and Broadway  in Salem, New York, United States. It is a 22 acre area containing 79 buildings.</p><br>
<p>Most of the buildings date to the 19th and early 20th centuries, and some represent important milestones in the history of Salem, possibly the oldest continuously inhabited village in the county and one of the first in the state to incorporate. The buildings that survived a devastating 1840 fire have been preserved relatively intact. In 1975 the area was recognized as a historic district and listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>The district is cross-shaped. It includes all properties on either side of Main from the former Delaware and Hudson Railroad tracks on the north end to Park Place at the south. The railroad tracks&#39; intersection with County Route 30 also serve as the western boundary, with the former county courthouse being the eastern limit along County Route 153. The boundary extends 200 ft from the roads.</p><br>
<p>This area of 22 acre includes 79 buildings, all but ten of which date to the late 19th century. The portions of Main Street and Broadway east of it are densely developed, with commercial properties near the center yielding to residences away from them. Route 153 is less dense, with mature trees forming a buffer leading to the county courthouse complex and Salem High School.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Salem was first settled around 1761 by three men from Pelham, Massachusetts, making it one of the earliest settlements in the county. The site of their log cabins, long since gone, is now occupied by the Abrams Building on North Main Street. They brought their families along three years later, and obtained a patent for 25,000 acre of land in the area from the colonial governor after promising two colonial officials that they would give those officials half of the land. At the time the area was part of a larger subdivision known as Charlotte County.</p><br>
<p>Those two officials sold their half to an Irish minister who had brought his followers to the North American colonies to escape religious persecution. This led to the construction of a schoolhouse and church, the first in the county and one of only two at the time north of Albany. The two groups lived in relative harmony.</p><br>
<p>Shortly after the Revolutionary War began, in 1777, General Philip Schuyler of the Continental Army ordered the town evacuated in the face of John Burgoynes advances into the area during the Saratoga Campaign. Some of the men stayed behind, dismantling the schoolhouses logs to erect Fort Salem around the site of the First Presbyterian Church on East Broadway. It was burned in September of that year by local Loyalists.</p><br>
<p>One local man, John Williams, raised a local regiment and distinguished himself as a leader during the war and was eventually commissioned a colonel. At the war&#39;s end he retired with the rank of brigadier general and built a large house on what is now East Broadway. For many years it was the largest and most elaborate in the village.</p><br>
<p>The oldest surviving house in the village, the Judge Blanchard home on East Broadway, is the only building to show clear influence of the Georgian architectural style common before the Revolution. It is a frame building on a raised foundation with symmetrical fenestration and a Palladian window above the entrance. It was built in 1790, before the emergence of the Federal style, exemplified by the Judge McLean home further down the street with its elliptical fanlight and sidelights at the main entrance.</p><br>
<p>The next year, Washington Academy was founded, the sixth school in the state to be formally incorporated. In 1803 Salem was incorporated as a village, one of the first in the state. Eight years later, a new school building was built on West Broadway, the first of several on the site.</p><br>
<p>Many other early buildings, and the records of Salem&#39;s early history, were destroyed by a large fire in 1840. An ultimate result of this was the construction of the Proudfit Building at the junction of the two routes, which serves as municipal offices, public library, theater and headquarters for the fire and police departments. It was built with $10,000 left to the village for the purpose by a local bank president, on the condition that matching funds be raised. The Proudfit family contributed half of those funds and the building was named after them out of gratitude.</p><br>
<p>In 1939 the school district was centralized. The last of the school buildings downtown was converted into apartments, and a new building was built on the grounds of the former Williams estate.</p><br>
<h2>Significant contributing properties</h2><br>
<p>Judge Blanchard House, East Broadway. Dating to 1790, this is the oldest house in the village. It shows a strong Georgian influence.</p><br>
<p>First Presbyterian Church, East Broadway. Its front portico with full-height Doric columns is one of the strongest Greek Revival buildings in the village.</p><br>
<p>Proudfit Building, West Broadway and South Main Street. Built in 1890, this ornate brick and stucco structure serves as village hall, the public library and a theater. It has been considered the center of the village since it was first built.</p><br>
<p>Proudfit-Sherman House, East Broadway. The best Greek Revival house in the village has a front portico similar to the Presbyterian church&#39;s except with Ionic columns.</p><br>
<p>Washington County Courthouse, West Broadway. Except for the removal of the bell tower, this ornate brick structure is as it was when built in 1869.</p><br>
<h2>Preservation</h2><br>
<p>In 2008 the village government created a Historic Preservation Commission to preserve the historic character of the district. It consists of five members appointed by the mayor serving staggered three-year terms. Two must be resident property owners in the district, one must be an architect with experience in preservation, and another must be a historian.</p><br>
<p>It reviews all exterior construction or renovation within the district requiring a building permit. It is also empowered to carry out surveys of the district and recommend new properties for designation as a local landmark.</p><br>
<p>The J. C. Stribling Barn is a brick barn built ca. 1890 to 1900 at 220 Isaqueena Trail in Clemson, South Carolina. It is also known as the Sleepy Hollow Barn or the Stribling-Boone Barn. It was named to the National Register of Historic Places on October 22, 2001.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Jesse Cornelius Stribling (1844–1927) was a private in the Confederate Army. He served with the 1st South Carolina Rifles (Orrs Rifles) and the Rutledge Mounted Riflemen. After the war, he married Virginia Eliza Hunter (1847–1934). During the violent Reconstruction period, Stribling was an officer in the Red Shirts, a group dedicated to returning native Southerners to leadership positions in government. He was a progressive farmer. Along with W.D. Warren of nearby Ashtabula, Stribling brought Jersey cattle into South Carolina in 1873. He also introduced Percheron horses into the state. He was the president of the Pendleton Farmers Society from 1908 until he died in 1927.</p><br>
<p>Sleepy Hollow is the name for a farm between Clemson and Pendleton. The house was originally built in 1837 to replace a log cabin. Sleepy Hollow was sold to Virginia Stribling in 1887. The Stribling family lived at Sleepy Hollow until 1930. In 1890, the original barn and other out buildings were lost and the house was damaged in a fire. The house was repaired and a new barn was built.</p><br>
<p>Sleepy Hollow is now a bed and breakfast. The grounds are rented for weddings and other events.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The barn is a three-story, brick bank barn. Bank barns are less common in the Southeastern United States than in New England or the Midwest. Its brick construction is considered unusual for South Carolina barns. This was built after the fire that destroyed the plantation&#39;s outbuildings around 1890. It was built as early as 1890 or as late as about 1900.</p><br>
<p>The barn has a stone foundation. The barn is 70 ft long and 50 ft wide. Its hand-made, native bricks were fired in a kiln on the plantation. Mud mortar was used to lay the bricks in six to one common bond.</p><br>
<p>The barn has a jerkin head, V-crimp metal roof that is supported by eight square wooden piers and timber trusses. There is a clerestory, center ridge vent for light and ventilation. A base, which may have been for a cupola, is in the center of the ridge vent.</p><br>
<p>The main entrance is in the center of the west elevation at the second level of the barn. It is an arched entry with brick pilasters. There is a wooden keystone and a lozenge-shaped vent above the arch. There are metal-track sliding, lattice doors on the north and south elevations on the first and second levels. Two lozenge-shaped vents are on north and south elevations near the jerkin-head roofline. There are fourteen windows with a six-light wooden sash.</p><br>
<p>The first level was for fifty Jersey cows while the second level was for the horses. The latter had four trap doors that served as hay chutes for the cattle. The third level was for storage and included platforms at each end of the barn for drying seeds.</p><br>
<p>To use the barn for recreation, the central section of the third level and the drying platforms were removed and overhead lighting was installed. A new wooden floor was put on the second level and concrete was poured over the dirt floor at the entrance. Also a concrete retaining wall about 2.5 ft was put along the rear foundation.</p><br>
<p>Additional pictures of the barn are available.</p><br>
<p>St. Luke&#39;s Episcopal Church is a historic Episcopal church complex located at Brockport in Monroe County, New York. The complex consists of an 1855 Gothic Revival-style church of Medina sandstone and 1903 Romanesque style parish hall. The eastern chancel window features a tripartite composition executed in favrile glass by the Tiffany studios of New York. A second grouping of three Tiffany favrile glass windows is located on the western wall of the nave above the narthex.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.</p><br>
<p>The Weaver House, also known as Waller, is a historic home located at Cowie Corner, Greensville County, Virginia. It was built between 1838 and 1840 for Jarrad Weaver on land which had belonged to the Waller family of Williamsburg. It is a two-story, single-pile, wood frame residence. It sits on a brick basement and has a standing-seam sheet metal gable roof. The front facade features a hipped-roof porch with square columns.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
<p>The Crane Building, also known as C.E. Erickson Co., in Des Moines, Iowa, United States. Crane Company was a plumbing and heating supplier and manufacturer that had this six-story manufacturing facility built in 1916. It was designed by the Des Moines architectural firm of Sawyer and Watrous. It is a utilitarian structure that is significant for its "thoughtful design" that utilizes elements of the Chicago School and a refined style. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2001. In 2013, the vacant building was renovated into 36 lofts targeted at artisans and costing 8 million dollars.</p><br>
<p>Saint Marks and Saint Johns Episcopal Church is a historic Episcopal church located at Rochester in Monroe County, New York. Completed in 1928, it is architecturally significant as an intact representative example of simple Gothic inspired Arts and Crafts design applied to a neighborhood church edifice.</p><br>
<p>It was designed by architects Gordon and Kaelber.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004.</p><br>
<p>Saint Andrews Episcopal Church, also known as Calvary-Saint Andrews Presbyterian Church, is a historic Episcopal church complex located at Rochester in Monroe County, New York. Designed by Richard M. Upjohn, it was constructed in phases between 1873 and 1880. The Gothic Revival style brick and stone complex consists of two interconnected sections: the church, composed of the church, bell tower, and entry porch, and the original rectory and chapel. The high altar and window were designed by George Hausshalter. The window was made by the Tiffany studios of New York. In 1968, the Saint Andrew&#39;s Episcopal Church merged with Calvary Presbyterian Church to form Calvary St. Andrews, a Presbyterian parish.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2006. It is located in the South Wedge Historic District.</p><br>
<p>German United Evangelical Church Complex, also known as Salem Evangelical Church , Salem Evangelical and Reformed Church , and Salem United Church of Christ , is a historic Evangelical and Reformed church complex located at Rochester in Monroe County, New York. The complex includes the original church structure  with attached wing  and the later parish house and church school .</p><br>

<p>The Quincy Mine No. 2 Shaft Hoist House is an industrial building located north of Hancock, Michigan along US Highway 41 within the Quincy Mining Company Historic District. The Hoist House contains the largest steam hoisting engine in the world, which sits on the largest reinforced concrete engine foundation ever poured. The shaft hoist house was designated a Michigan State Historic Site in 1969 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1970.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Quincy Mining Company was first organized in 1846, and incorporated two years later, to mine the then-recently discovered Portage Lake copper formations. It wasn&#39;t until 1856 that the mine hit upon their most productive lode, and it took until 1862 before the first dividend was paid. However, after that time, the Quincy Mine was a reliable investment, paying dividends every year from 1867 until 1921.</p><br>
<p>In the early part of the twentieth century, the shafts at Quincy Mine were increasing in depth at a prodigious rate as the company pushed farther underground in search of copper. Between 1905 and 1920, the depth of the principal shafts increased from 5000 feet to over 7000. The requirements to lift rock to the surface from ever-increasing depths severely strained the capabilities of the company&#39;s mine hoist equipment. By 1916, the hoist servicing the number 2 shaft had reached its depth limit. Rather than abandon the shaft or eke out a little more depth by retrofitting the existing hoist, Quincy hired the Nordberg Manufacturing Company and Bruno V. Nordberg to design a new hoist engine at a cost of $160,000. It would be the largest mine hoist in the world.</p><br>
<p>Quincy contracted for delivery of the Nordberg engine in early 1917, but World War I intervened, delaying receipt until late 1919. at a cost of $43,000 for the foundation and $53,000 for the superstructure. Installation of the hoist began in December 1919; it took until November 1920 before the hoist was fully operational. The hoist operated from 1920 until the mine closed in 1931,</p><br>
<p>The building and hoist were restored in 1968 and are open to the public.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Quincy Mine No. 2 Shaft Hoist House is a rectangular structure, faced with red brick veneer, The building is particularly decorative for a hoist house, containing an inordinate number of windows and, originally, a green glazed tile roof. By 1978, the green tile had been removed. The design of the building included large doors, open interior space with no columns, and an overhead crane to facilitate the installation of the hoist. The reinforced concrete foundation supporting the building and the hoist engine is particularly notable: it contains 32,000 yd3 of material and was reputedly the largest block of reinforced concrete ever poured for such a purpose. It was one of the first very large reinforced concrete buildings ever built.</p><br>
<p>The hoist inside measures 60 by weighs 1,765,000 lb, and could pull a skip with 20,000 lb of rock at 36.4 mph.</p><br>
<p>St. Joseph Roman Catholic Church and Rectory was a historic Roman Catholic church and rectory located at 108 Franklin Street, Rochester in Monroe County, New York. The complex was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975. The structure&#39;s shell has been preserved as monument after a disastrous fire.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The church was originally built 1843-1846 in the simple monumental tradition of the Greek Revival style, with a gray stone facade of a series of arched bays on the exterior facade. The simple church was enlarged in 1849 into a cruciform plan that could seat a thousand parishioners. The interior was remodeled in 1895. The first steeple was added in 1859 and replaced with a tower in 1909, designed by Joseph Oberlies.</p><br>
<p>The rectory, or community house, was constructed in 1870 in the Italianate style.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>St. Joseph&#39;s served as the mother church for the German Catholic churches in the region. Many of these satellite churches and schools lured away parishioners and students, causing building replacements to the complex and finally closure and sale in the 1970s.</p><br>
<p>The church suffered a serious fire in October 1974. The fire destroyed the church, except for the tower and walls, forcing the parish to abandon the ruin. The Landmark Society of Western New York, the State University College at Brockport, city officials, members of the Downtown Development Corporation, and the original Roman Catholic religious order all supported preserving the bell tower and three extant bays (front façade) as a monument encased in a park, named St. Joseph&#39;s Park. The conversion was carried out by Landmark Society of Western New York in 1980.</p><br>
