<p>The Van Gilder Hotel is a historic multipurpose commercial and civic building at 307 Adams Street in Seward, Alaska, United States.</p><br>
<h2>Construction</h2><br>
<p>The building was originally constructed as an office by E.L. Van Gilder of Kellogg, Idaho, who decided to invest in the Alaska Territory. Van Gilder purchased the property adjacent to the Seward bank for $4,000 in February 1916. He obtained supplies in Idaho, and then returned to Seward via the steamer Evans with his wife and daughter. Construction for the two-story structure with an excavated basement began in May 1916. In addition to offices, the building would have meeting halls for local organizations. During construction, Van Gilder decided to add a third story to the building. Extra construction costs and a poor economy forced Van Gilder to sell the building shortly after it was completed. The new building was purchased by Charles Brown, a partner in the Brown & Hawkins Store in Seward.</p><br>
<p>The Van Gilders planned to return to the states and travelled to Ketchikan, Alaska via boat. While in the town waiting for the boat to leave, Van Gilder and his wife Sarah were both offered jobs. They stayed for a year and earned money to invest in business in St. Helens, Oregon.</p><br>
<h2>Rooms and Guests</h2><br>
<p>Upon completion, the first and second floors contained 27 rooms, while the basement had seven. The third floor held a Masonic and Odd Fellows lodge rooms, as well as meeting space for the Christian Scientists and the Seward Women&#39;s Club. Tenants on the lower floor included the law firm Morford & Finnigan, a doctor, and the Alaska Importing Company. The basement held offices for the Gateway Newspaper. The newspaper was the second in Alaska to join the Associated Press and had been called the second-largest paper in Alaska in 1915.</p><br>
<p>In early 1921 the building was converted to apartments. Joe Badger, who came to Alaska from Chelsea, Massachusetts during the gold rush in Nome, served as manager. Badger took over ownership in September, and had the building converted again, this time to serve as a hotel. Early guests to the hotel included salesman, railroad, and government officials including Austin E. Lathrop, a prominent Alaskan industrialist. In 1923 when Warren G. Harding became the first USA president to visit the territory, many of the executives stayed in the Van Gilder.</p><br>
<p>In 1924, Seward and the Van Gilder were a stop for the Army Air Service team that made the first aerial circumnavigation of the globe. The four pilots and their crews landed their Douglas World Cruiser aircraft—the Boston, Chicago, New Orleans, and Seattle—in Resurrection Bay. The event was the first time many of the 1,000 residents saw an airplane.</p><br>
<h2>Varied Owners</h2><br>
<p>Ownership passed hands several more times, and the hotel was known as "Hotel Renwald" during parts of the 1950s and 1960s. For a time the building was leased to the state and served as a dormitory for the Seward Skills Center. When the state&#39;s lease expired in 1978 the building was refurbished and has served as a hotel since.</p><br>
<p>The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.</p><br>
<p>Albania Plantation is a plantation house located on the Bayou Teche in St. Mary Parish, Louisiana right outside of the town of Jeanerette, Louisiana. The home was built between 1837 and 1842 by Charles Alexandre Grevemberg, who operated a successful sugar plantation based on slave labor on the surrounding 6,500 acre. The home is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>In the slave schedules of the 1850 census, Grevemberg was recorded as owning 183 slaves. In the 1860 slave schedules, Grevemberg&#39;s widow was listed as owning 211 slaves.</p><br>
<p>After Charles Alexandre Grevemberg&#39;s death at Albania in 1851, his wife, Euphemie Fuselier (d. 1886), managed the plantation. Records of the sugar crops made in Louisiana 1859–1860 shows Mrs. Charles Grevemberg producing 475 hogsheads of sugar on the Bayou Teche.</p><br>
<p>Samuel and Isaac Delgado acquired the property in 1885. Isaac Delgado bequeathed it to the City of New Orleans in order to establish the Delgado Vocational Institute to benefit the underprivileged. The city of New Orleans operated the sugar plantation through the Delgado-Albania Plantation Commission. This included a full scale sugar processing facility which was managed by the Allain family until 1931 and than the Munson family until 1957. Those families lived in the house where they raised their families while running the plantation business.</p><br>
<p>In 1957 the City of New Orleans sold the plantation house and some of the surrounding acreage at public auction. It was acquired by Emily Cyr Bridges, who restored Albania Plantation Home and opened it to the public showcasing her well-known collection. Miss Emily was an enthusiastic antiquarian who traveled the countryside knocking on doors to add to her collection of Southern plantation furniture and Acadian artifacts, at a time before such objects were highly prized.</p><br>
<p>Miss Emily was the daughter of Paul N. Cyr, Lieutenant Governor of Louisiana from 1928 to 1931, under Governor Huey Long. In one of the more colorful Long-era incidents, Cyr had himself sworn in as governor in October 1931, stating that Long had vacated the office when he was elected USA Senator. Long called out the National Guard and the State Police to bar Cyr from the Governors Mansion. Miss Emily shared her fathers disdain for Huey Long, and banned his name from being spoken at Albania.</p><br>
<p>Never a conventional woman, Miss Emily was a pioneer aviator who flew patrol missions over the Louisiana coast as a member of the Civil Air Patrol during World War II.</p><br>
<p>In Miss Emily&#39;s heyday at Albania she loved to entertain on the galleries; her coterie included artist-in-residence Lucius Lacour. In her later years Miss Emily became reclusive, rarely receiving guests and never leaving her beloved Albania.</p><br>
<p>The home was owned by Hunt Slonem, the celebrated New York artist who bought the house for about $625,000 (~$ in ) in 2005. In 2023, he sold the home to Liz and Terry Creel, Louisiana residents who had tried to buy the home from Emily Cyr some twenty years prior.</p><br>
<p>To this day, the City of New Orleans continues to own the sugar cane land which is leased to local farmers. Proceeds are used by the Delgado Albania Plantation Commission to fund capital projects at what is now known as Delgado Community College.</p><br>
<p>Bayside is plantation comprising a historic plantation house built in 1850 by Francis DuBose Richardson on the Bayou Teche near Jeanerette, Louisiana, United States. Richardson, a classmate and friend of Edgar Allan Poe, purchased the land for a sugar plantation.</p><br>
<p>Richardson attended St. Marys College in Baltimore, Maryland. He was elected to the Louisiana Senate and sponsored legislation establishing the Louisiana School for the Blind, which institution is extant in Baton Rouge. His daughter, Bethia Richardson, married Donelson Caffery II, a Louisiana State Senator and a United States Senator. Richardsons great grandson, Patrick Thomson Caffery served as a Louisiana State Representative and a United States Representative.</p><br>
<p>Despite some alterations and an unclear architectural development, the two-story brick central hall Greek Revival plantation house remains one of Iberia Parish&#39;s finest Greek Revival structures. The house has the largest screened porch in Louisiana.</p><br>
<p>The house and surrounding 6 acre area was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on January 29, 1987.</p><br>

<h2>Background</h2><br>
<p>The district is a major crossroads in Ithaca, and contains a wide variety of architectural styles and cultural, social, educational, political and religious functions.</p><br>
<p>Concern for preservation of the neighborhood was a motivating factor behind Ithacas passage of a local Landmarks Preservation Ordinance in 1971. Dewitt Park was Ithacas first designated local historic district in 1971. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in the same year.</p><br>
<h2>DeWitt Park</h2><br>
<p>DeWitt Park is owned by the Presbyterian Church on North Cayuga Street. The church congregation purchased the land from Simeon DeWitt on August 1, 1815, for the sum of $499.65. The church specifically set the land aside for public enjoyment, rather than as a graveyard, which would have been more typical of the day. In 1856 the church came to an agreement with the Village of Ithaca that the church would retain ownership of the park, while the village would be responsible for maintaining it. For many years DeWitt Park was a meetings spot for student of the nearby Ithaca Conservatory (later Ithaca College), located in the adjacent Boardman House</p><br>
<p>Frederick Douglass, prevented from speaking in any of the local churches or the Village Hall, twice delivered orations in the park.</p><br>
<p>Following the murder of Shawn Greenwood by the Ithaca Police Department on Feb. 23 2010, members of the Ithaca community have renamed DeWitt Park to Shawn Greenwood Park. The new name aims to remember Shawn Greenwood, an African-American man who grew up in Ithaca, and end the recognition of Simeon De Witt, a former slave owner.</p><br>

<h2>Contemporary use</h2><br>
<p>The Housing Authority of the City of Pueblo bought the building in 1979. The agency then extensively refurbished the property, preserving its historic elements.

<p>The West Queen Anne School was a Seattle public elementary school located in the Queen Anne, Seattle neighborhood from 1896 to 1981 and is now high-end condominiums. The School was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975 as Queen Anne Public School and two years later became a Seattle landmark. The old sign "West Queen Anne Public School" still hangs over the former Galer Street main entrance.</p><br>
<p>Designed in the popular Richardsonian Romanesque style by Warren P. Skillings and James M. Corner, construction on the Queen Anne School began in 1895 and classes opened in the fall of 1896. As the neighborhood grew, several additions were added to the school. Classrooms were added in 1899 and again in 1902; in 1916, an additional 10 classrooms and an auditorium were added on the south end, and the schools main entrance, originally facing Lee Street, was moved to Galer Street. Until its renovation in 1984, the last major addition to the school was the principals office, added in 1920.</p><br>
<p>Originally the Queen Anne School, in 1908 the school&#39;s name was changed to the West Queen Anne Elementary School to avoid confusion with Queen Anne High School.</p><br>
<p>In 1974, after the Boeing Bust and subsequent Seattle recession, Seattle School District staff recommended closing the school due to declining enrollment. A grassroots effort of parents, teachers and local residents worked together to keep the school open and nominated the building for historic status as part of their effort. It was the first Seattle school to receive National Register of Historic Places status. The school remained open through 1981.</p><br>
<p>In 1983, the Seattle School District gave Historic Seattle a 99-year land lease on the school&#39;s 1.76 acre property, with an option to renew for another 99 years. Historic Seattle transferred the site to the West Queen Anne Association, formed for the condominium conversion, and in 1983-84, the architectural firm of Cardwell/Thomas and Associates renovated and converted the school into 49 condominium units.</p><br>
<p>The school is now home to over 75 residents, has been featured in magazines including Architectural Digest and Metropolitan Home magazines, and has been a stop on Historic Seattles Queen Anne tour. Historic photos of the school adorn the walls, including a picture of students on the front lawn holding bird houses, students playing "What have you in your basket" and one of a classroom with this excerpt written on the chalkboard from "Hiawathas Childhood" by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow:</p><br>
<p>West Queen Anne School&#39;s classrooms-to-condominiums conversion was the largest privately financed rehabilitation-and-reuse project of its type in the Northwest and is now a national model for salvaging surplus schools.</p><br>

<p>St. Patrick&#39;s Church is an historic Roman Catholic church in Glynwood, Located north of USA Route 33 between St. Marys and Wapakoneta,</p><br>
<h2>Establishment</h2><br>
<p>The parish was founded as St. Thomas Church in the community of Six Mile in 1857. While most Catholic churches established in Auglaize and Mercer counties during this time were primarily German, St. Thomas was established by Irish settlers. Mass was celebrated in private homes until a leading member donated land for a cemetery and church, which was built in 1860. Starting in the 1840s, the church was served by priests of the Society of the Precious Blood who were based at Minster, approximately 15 mi to the south.</p><br>
<h2>Expansion</h2><br>
<p>During the 1870s, Six Mile prospered due to the discovery of oil and natural gas in the region and the coming of the Lake Erie and Western Railroad; when the railroad built a depot in Six Mile, it renamed the community for local resident John Glynn. St. Thomas&#39; Church also grew, reaching the point that the old frame church was becoming too small for the number of parishioners. Accordingly, the cornerstone was laid for a new brick church in 1883. In this same year, the parish was rededicated for Saint Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland; the cemetery retained its former name.</p><br>
<p>Architectural historians have divided the Precious Blood-related churches of western Ohio into multiple generations. Only a few buildings remain from the first generation, which consisted primarily of small wooden churches, and only St. Johns Church in Fryburg to the east remains essentially unchanged. Replacing these wooden buildings were the churches of the second generation, which were generally small brick buildings without tall spires. St. Patricks occupies of a transitional place between the churches of the second and third generations; although it is a small brick building that replaced an early wooden church, its tower resembles those of the High Gothic Revival churches of the third generation.</p><br>
<h2>Recent history</h2><br>
<p>In 1979, St. Patrick&#39;s Church was recognized for its architecture by being added to the National Register of Historic Places. Twenty-seven other churches, including the old mother church in Minster, were added to the Register at the same time.</p><br>
<p>Today, St. Patrick&#39;s remains an active parish of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati. It is clustered with Holy Rosary parish in St. Marys, and both churches are a part of the St. Marys Deanery.</p><br>

<p>Built in 1909, the Murray LDS Second Ward Meetinghouse is a historic building in Murray, Utah, United States. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2001. The building is significant for its association with the history and development of Murray between 1909 and 1950.</p><br>
<h2>Architectural style</h2><br>
<p>The design of the meetinghouse came from Niels Edward Liljenberg, a Swedish-American architect. It is significant as a well-preserved example of a meetinghouse influenced by the Gothic Revival style, a popular style for Mormon meetinghouses in the Salt Lake Valley during the first decade of the twentieth century. The original architectural features are still evident, the fenestration patterns as well as the size of the openings have not been modified, and there have been very few alterations. The Murray Second Ward represents not only the growth of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) and development of the Murray community, but the building is also an excellent example of the influence of the Gothic style in LDS Church architecture.</p><br>
<h2>Influences</h2><br>
<p>During the first decade of the twentieth century, the English parish style became the model for many LDS meetinghouses including the Murray Second Ward. This style was concurrent with the resurgence of medieval influence in American architecture. As the LDS Church wanted to follow current trends in architecture professionally trained architects were employed to design new buildings. The popularity of the Victorian Gothic influence in American architecture happened to coincide with the LDS Church&#39;s program to build new meetinghouses. These typical Gothic-style influenced meetinghouses are characterized generally by either an asymmetrical or symmetrical facade which is dominated by a square Norman architecture-style entrance tower; Gothic or Romanesque arches or a combination of the two, are used throughout the building. The Murray Second Ward Meetinghouse fits this description well; it has an asymmetrical facade dominated by an entrance tower with a crenellated parapet, and tall, Gothic (pointed) arch windows framed in wood tracery.</p><br>
<h2>First meetinghouse</h2><br>
<p>The first LDS or Mormon meetinghouse in Murray was built in 1856. As in most pioneer LDS communities, the first meetinghouse was vernacular classical in style and was built with the nearest and most available materials. It was understood that in time, a larger, more substantial facility would replace this first building. In communities that did not have a temple or tabernacle, the ward meetinghouse was the primary physical symbol of their relationship to God; it was a common element within the Mormon concept of sacred space.</p><br>
<h2>Scandinavian ward</h2><br>
<p>Many of the men employed at the Franklyn and Germania smelters were immigrants from Scandinavian countries who had joined the LDS church in their homeland and moved to Utah; most spoke very little English. In 1883 Bishop Rawlins of the South Cottonwood Ward allowed the Scandinavian population to hold separate services in the Swedish language. At first the group met in the homes of various members; by 1893 the group had built a small wood frame meetinghouse located "west of the state road". This became known as the "unofficial" Scandinavian Ward.</p><br>
<h2>Murray ward organized</h2><br>
<p>On October 28, 1900, the Murray Ward was formally organized as an outgrowth of the South Cottonwood Ward, and Uriah G. Miller was appointed as the first bishop. Six years later, on March 4, 1906, the ward was divided, creating the Murray First Ward and Murray Second Ward; Jacob E. Erekson was Bishop of the Second Ward. The geographic boundaries of the Murray Second Ward included the area west of the Oregon Short Line Railroad tracks to the Jordan River, and between the north and south Murray City limits.</p><br>
<h2>New meetinghouse built</h2><br>
<p>The newly created Second Ward held their meetings in the twenty-foot by thirty-five-foot wood-frame meetinghouse built by the Scandinavians in 1893. Almost immediately, steps were taken towards establishing a new meetinghouse. On September 10, 1906, a -acre parcel was purchased from Peter Adamson for $400.00; the property was located on the west side of Second West Street (now Third West Street). In 1909, the new brick meetinghouse was completed; it was formally dedicated in 1911. With seating, fixtures and musical instruments, the price of the new facility came to $13,000.00. The floor plan is in the shape of a T; the stem of the T (or front) was used for assembly and services, while "amusements" were located in the (rear) section perpendicular to the chapel. The old "Scandinavian" meetinghouse continued to be used as a storage facility.</p><br>
<p>According to a 1933 Stake Report, during the months of November and December the chapel, amusement hall and classrooms were renovated. The exterior wood trim was painted, and the interior wood trim was re-varnished. The ceiling in the auditorium was painted, and the walls and ceilings in the chapel and amusement hall were replaced, painted and "starched". The walls in the classrooms were "re-calcimined", the boiler was overhauled and new flues were installed, and new linoleum flooring was laid in the front entrance hall.</p><br>
<h2>Sale of former meetinghouse</h2><br>
<p>In 1956, the boundaries of the ward were changed no doubt due to growth in the population of Murray. Beginning in 1970, proposals were made for construction of a new meetinghouse. In 1977 the building was sold to the current owners, the Alano Club. The Alano Club is a not-for-profit non-denominational support agency for recovering alcoholics and their families.</p><br>

<p>The Stagecoach Inn of Chappell Hill  is a historic stagecoach inn at Main and Chestnut Streets in Chappell Hill, Texas, United States.</p><br>
<p>It was built in 1850 by Mary Elizabeth Haller (née Hargrove), the founder of Chappell Hill. Mary and her husband Jacob Haller (d. 1853), the towns first postmaster, built the stately 14-room Greek Revival inn along the road from Houston to Austin, where some of Texas first stagecoach lines, the Smith and Jones, and later the F. P. Sawyers, would stop for the night. Prior to the building&#39;s use as a stagecoach stop, it served as a boarding house for students attending college in Chappell Hill. At that time it was called Hargrove House or Hargrove House Hotel.</p><br>
<p>Charlotte Hargrove, Mary Haller&#39;s mother, operated the Inn until 1859; when it was bought by Judge Benjamin Thomas, who operated the Inn until about 1870.</p><br>
<p>John A. Hargrove, Marys brother, wrote of traveling to "the Cedar breaks" to cut wood for building the inn. Throughout this period, the town of Chappell Hill (which was named after Mary Hallers maternal grandfather) was a part of a booming cotton-farming economy.</p><br>
<p>As the cotton economy faded after the turn of the 20th century and highways were built bypassing the town, the Inn fell into disrepair, until it was purchased in 1976 by noted Houston architect Harvin C. Moore and his wife Elizabeth. Moore had often seen the Inn while traveling in the 1920s, to and from Austin as a student and member of the Rice University band, and had dreamed of one day bringing it back to life. At the completion of the Moores&#39; restoration, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>The Inn continued to be operated as a bed and breakfast for many years. However, the property was put up for sale in 2014, and the Inn&#39;s website is no longer available (late in 2015).</p><br>

<p>The St. Nicholas Russian Orthodox Church  in Juneau, Alaska, United States, was built in 1893 and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973. The church is a part of the Diocese of Alaska of the Orthodox Church in America.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Russians did not settle in the Juneau area while this territory was a Russian colony (1784–1867). Nor did the Russian Orthodox Church send missionaries to Juneau when the mining settlement started in 1881. Instead, the Orthodox Church became strongly established here through the efforts of the local Tlingit leaders. In 1890, the Taku leader Anathahash traveled to Sitka to be baptized into the Orthodox faith. More traditional Tlingit gravitated toward the Orthodox Church among Christian offerings, as it had used local languages in worship since about 1800 in Kodiak and 1824 in the Aleutian Islands. The Holy Scriptures and much of the Divine Liturgy (as the Orthodox call the Mass, or Lord&#39;s Supper) had been translated into Tlingit by St. Innocent (Veniaminov) during his years as a priest in Sitka (1834–40) and later as Bishop of Alaska (1842–1850).</p><br>
<p>Anathahash returned from Sitka in 1890 with the Rev. Vladimir Donskoy, the first Russian Orthodox priest to conduct services in the area. During Fr. Vladimirs stay, he instructed and baptized many of the local Tlingit people. That year Alexei Yaakwaan, son of a Tlingit leader, converted to the Orthodox Church and encouraged his father, Yees Gaanaalx, leader of the Leeneidí (Dog Salmon) people of Auke Bay, to be baptized. Sitka Chief Khlantych told the church that Yees Gaanaalx wanted to convert to Orthodoxy and that Tlingit would follow his example.</p><br>
<p>On July 26, 1892, Bishop Nicholas (Ziorov) of the Aleutian Islands and Alaska (1891–1898), visited Juneau from San Francisco, where the seat of the church in America had been located since 1872. The bishop was met by the Tlingit leaders wanting to convert. According to oral tradition, he was told that the Tlingit leaders had each been having a common, recurring dream. In their dream, a short, white-bearded, elderly man encouraged them to become Christian. When these leaders saw an icon of Saint Nicholas the Wonderworker, Archbishop of Myra in Lycia, they "recognized" him as being the man in their dreams. Three days later, the Priest-monk Mitrofan baptized both Yees Gaanaalx and his wife, giving them the Christian names of Dimitri and Elizabeth. Following their example, some 700 of approximately 1500 Tlingit in the area also converted to the Orthodox church.</p><br>
<p>With such a large Native congregation to be served, the Orthodox Missionary Society in Russia sent architectural drawings, interior church furnishings – such as candlestands, a chalice set, censers, banners, a full iconostasis (the icon screen), and festal icons – and two hundred silver rubles to support construction of a church for them. The six large panels on the iconostasis are the original icons received from Russia and hold a unique position as the only known iconostasis where the deacon&#39;s doors depict Sts. Cyril and Methodius rather than either the Archangels Michael and Gabriel or the Deacons Stephen and Lawrence. The newly baptized Tlingit and Serbian gold miners, who were already Orthodox, helped build the traditional structure. It is a high-quality example of the "Russian Colonial" style of architecture. In June 1894, Bishop Nicholas returned to Juneau and consecrated the new church in honor of Saint Nicholas.</p><br>
<p>On June 5, 2016, Bishop David (Mahaffey), alongside Alaska Governor Bill Walker and First Lady Donna Walker, unveiled a monument at St. Nicholas dedicated to the 881 Aleuts forcibly relocated and interned by the United States during World War II.</p><br>
<p>The Springer Farm is a historic farm located at Hockessin, New Castle County, Delaware. The property includes four contributing buildings. They are a stone house , a stone and frame bank barn , a stone spring house, and a braced frame corn crib, both dated to the 19th century. The house is a two-story, gable-roofed, fieldstone structure on a coursed fieldstone foundation.</p><br>
<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.</p><br>
<p>St. Stephens Episcopal Church, in Beverly, Burlington County, New Jersey, United States, is located on the corner of Warren and Wilmerton streets in Beverly. While the St. Stephens community worshipped at the site beginning in 1837, the current church building was consecrated in 1855 and the rector presently serving the congregation is Fr. Robert Legnani.</p><br>
<h2>Founding and erection</h2><br>
<p>The congregation of St. Stephens Episcopal Church formed in 1837 at the request of 44 families to Bishop Doane of the Episcopal Diocese of New Jersey for services of the church in the City of Beverly. The first church, a white frame building erected on Copper Street, had an adjacent cemetery that still exists today. When the City of Beverly was incorporated in 1857, St. Stephens established would become Beverly&#39;s first church.</p><br>
<p>By 1853, the congregation had outgrown the original wood church and land was purchased at the corner of Warren and Wilmerton Streets for a new structure. The new property allowed for the construction of a larger more elaborate church. The location also increased the prominence of the parish by its place on Warren Street, a main transportation corridor between Beverly, Burlington City and other industrial river towns. The churchs steeple acted as a landmark beacon for shippers on the Delaware. On October 1, 1855, the present St. Stephens Church was consecrated by the second bishop of the Diocese of New Jersey, the Right Reverend George W. Doane.</p><br>
<h2>Early Church history and architecture</h2><br>
<p>Built between 1853 and 1855, St. Stephens represents a period in church architecture that sought to revive the spirit of the Gothic parish church, creating a worship space that was both spiritually reverential while at the same time expressing an architectural vocabulary of rational truth; in the buildings ornament, materials and plan.</p><br>
<p>This return to the English Gothic architectural form was promoted in the 1830s in England and was at its height in America when St. Stephen&#39;s was constructed. The Ecclesiology movement was a reaction to a period in church history when architectural form of new churches became increasingly variable. The Ecclesiology movement feared this informality and inconsistency distracted from the basic moral and theological mission of the church.</p><br>
<p>The Basic principles underlying the Ecclesiological model church, which are exemplified in St. Stephen&#39;s, are a simple plan, basic materials and ornament that is complementary to the overall simplicity of the church.</p><br>
<p>The plan of the Ecclesiological church is simple: the nave (the portion of the church containing the center aisle and pews) and the chancel (the portion of the church containing the altar and choir). Ideally, the materials of the church should be stone, but wood could be used with the hope that the means to afford stone would become available in the future. The ornament of St. Stephen&#39;s, both simple and elegant in its execution, illustrates the restrained propriety the Ecclesiologists used in creating the medieval sense of the place they felt most spiritually truthful in a place of worship.</p><br>
<p>While much has changed outside the walls of St. Stephen&#39;s Church since its construction, the church interior that is similar to what visitors have been seeing for the better part of 130 years. The photographs show the view looking through the nave to the altar from just inside of the church interior doors.</p><br>
<p>At the ceiling, a hybrid truss-arch system of roof support resembles the inside of a ship&#39;s hull. Though these structural timbers seem massive, they are actually secondary to the main rafters that are buried under the ceiling plaster.</p><br>
<h2>St. Stephen&#39;s stained glass windows</h2><br>
<p>The collection of stained glass windows of St. Stephens Church displays a historically significant range of stained glass styles from the 1850s into the early 20th century. Generally, the age of the windows range from the oldest located in the chancel to the newest located in the vestibule. St. Stephens has windows ranging from the textured muffle and reeded glass panels of mid-19th century American Gothic windows; to works by J.R. Lamb, a rival of the Tiffany Glass studios; and even comparatively modern windows dated from the 1970s and 80s by Cherry Hill artist F. Paul Skelly.</p><br>
<h2>Church preservation effort</h2><br>
<p>With the help of architectural firm Farewell Mills & Gatsch, the St. Stephen&#39;s community navigated through a seven-year-long New Jersey Historical Trust grants process obtaining awards for a preservation plan, engineering studies and finally construction.</p><br>
<p>Wu & Associates, Inc, the selected preservation contractor from nearby Cherry Hill, New Jersey, focused on restoring the church&#39;s “beacon” feature, the steeple. Following a lightning strike in 1983 the structure burned down two-thirds of the way. While the immediate problem was solved with a lightning rod, the replacement cedar shakes continued to be damaged by area wildlife.</p><br>
<p>In accordance with the New Jersey Historic Trusts wishes to preserve the origin of the church, the community and construction team researched the churchs history. According to some old photos and a 1909 postcard, the steeple looks as dark as the roof and there is a good chance the original was slate as the newly constructed roof was decided upon.</p><br>
<p>Steel girding anchored in the tower masonry walls rather than the 150-year-old wood beams now support the steeple. New flooring, fresh but historically accurate paint colors, a clean church bell, and a releaded and repaired stained glass window in the tower were all additional improvements in St. Stephen&#39;s preservation efforts.</p><br>
<p>While the range of stained-glass window styles and woodwork within the building are the most elaborate of the churchs designs, Wu & Associates work stabilizing the structure and preserving the simplicity of the buildings design was important in saving the history of its architectural story and its place in Beverly&#39;s.</p><br>
<p>The grants funding the project were supplemented by not only the contributions of members, highlighted by the over $4,000 raised by the parish children&#39;s “Mile of Nickels” campaign, but also businesses and other people in the larger town community.</p><br>
<p>The Levi Snell House is a house with Greek Revival and Italianate architecture in Fayetteville, New York. It was built in 1855 and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.</p><br>
<p>It&#39;s a "substantial, largely intact, mid-nineteenth century brick residence which illustrates the residential designs frequently favored by the prosperous but conservative merchant classes in small upstate New York communities of that period. The house incorporates square massing of the relatively new Italianate style, such as wide eaves and a bracketed cornice, into a traditional five-bay center hall-plan residence with porches, doors and windows treated in the older Greek Revival style."</p><br>
<p>Its first two owners were Levi Snell and Marquis L. Peck.</p><br>
<p>The Genesee Street Hill–Limestone Plaza Historic District is a historic district in Fayetteville, New York that was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982. The western border of the district is Limestone Creek. The district includes multiple Greek Revival houses, as well as Italianate and Federal architecture styles, along East Genesee Street as it rises from Limestone Plaza to Chapel Street, near the top of East Genesee Street Hill .</p><br>
<p>It includes a 12 acre area.</p><br>
<h2>Grover Cleveland boyhood home</h2><br>
<p>The district includes the boyhood home of USA President Grover Cleveland, one house away from Genesee Street.</p><br>
<p>The Memorial Park Site  is an archaeological site located near the confluence of Bald Eagle Creek and the West Branch Susquehanna River in Lock Haven in the USA state of Pennsylvania.</p><br>
<p>Stratified in age-related sequence, the deposits represent every major prehistoric period from the Middle Archaic to the Late Woodland. The site&#39;s dominant component holds the remains of an early Late Woodland (500–1000 CE) village inhabited by people of the Clemson Island culture. The convergent streams and their two valleys made the site readily accessible to pre-Columbian people living in both drainage basins. Among the components of the site are two strata, dating from 5000-6000 and c. 2600 BP respectively. Both components were radiocarbon dated from fragments of Cucurbita pepo, the squash plant; the absence of wild squash plants near the site and its distance from well-documented wild populations is evidence that the gourds were intentionally brought to the location by humans.</p><br>
<p>Memorial Park contains the only area on the West Branch side of the point of land between the river and the creek that has not been disturbed by subsequent development. Alluvial deposits 20 to 28 in deep cover the site and have protected it from recent activity on the surface. The Veterans of Foreign Wars acquired the property in the 1920s and used it for a park.</p><br>
<p>Piper Aircraft bought the fields adjacent to the park in the 1960s to use for airport runways and airplane storage. In the 1970s, Conran A. Hay, a consultant, discovered the prehistoric site during an archeological survey conducted for the United States Army Corps of Engineers. Subsequent research sponsored by the Office of State Archeology and the Office of Historic Preservation of the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission in 1980 helped determine the site boundaries.</p><br>

<p>The Negaunee Fire Station is a fire station located at 200 South Pioneer Avenue in Negaunee, Michigan, United States. It is also known as the Negaunee Hose House. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Negaunee Fire Department was established in 1868, and by 1876 consisted of two fire companies. The early stations constructed in Negaunee were very utilitarian in nature. In 1909, the City of Negaunee planned the construction of a new fire station, and leased land from the Cleveland-Cliffs Iron Company on which to build the station. The city hired architects Charlton and Kuenzli to design an attractive and significant building, reflecting the pride of the city. Construction began in 1909 and was completed in 1910.</p><br>
<p>Shortly after the construction of the station, a vestibule entrance was added on one corner of the building. Soon after, the wood floor in the equipment bay was replaced with terrazzo. The clock faces originally in the tower were removed in 1914 and placed in the city hall.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Negaunee Fire Station is a two-story structure made of brick with limestone accents with a stone and concrete basement and a flat roof. An extensive metal cornice runs around the roof line. On one side of the station is a 76 foot tall tower which was originally used for hanging hose to dry. A belfry with a large bell sits atop the tower, originally used as a fire alarm signal. Four round openings in the belfry originally housed a clock. There are small balconies projecting from the hose tower below the belfry. The large doors in the front of the building were originally swinging wooden doors. In time, the entrances were modified to allow for the passage of larger equipment, and currently have</p><br>
<p>modern overhead sectional doors.</p><br>
<p>On the interior, the first floor originally housed and equipment bay on one end of the building, and stables on the other end. The interior is finished with plaster and lath with wood wainscoting and some wood paneling between the equipment bay and the stables. The original flooring cork pine, but this flooring was replaced with terrazzo early in the life of the building. The terrazzo includes red colored inlays outlining vehicle tires tracks and an NFD badge in the center. In the 1930s the stables were removed and a concrete slab installed in the former stables ti support another equipment bay.</p><br>
<p>The second floor originally had a large hall on one end and dormitory space on the other end. Two staircases, one large grand one and a smaller circular one connected the two stories. The second floor was originally finished in lath and plaster with maple strip flooring.</p><br>
<p>Trinity Episcopal Church is an Episcopal parish established in 1774 by the Reverend Nathaniel Blount in Chocowinity, North Carolina, U.S..</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In 1773, Nathaniel Blount sailed from Bath, NC to London, England to be ordained a priest. The Bishop of London ordained Mr. Blount to the priesthood in Saint Pauls Cathedral, London. Upon his return to Bath, "Parson Blount," as he was known, had a church built. Giles Shute and John Herrington served as carpenters, according to a signed wooden panel in the sanctuary. The little building became known as Blounts Chapel.</p><br>
<p>In 1826, the Right Rev&#39;d John Stark Ravenscroft consecrated the building as Trinity Church, a parish in the Episcopal Diocese of North Carolina. During the 19th century, the Grimes family were active in this parish. The Grimes held large tracts of land in Beaufort and Pitt Counties.</p><br>
<p>The nearby town of Grimesland was named for them. Major General Bryan Grimes of the Confederate Army was a member of the parish. The parish&#39;s centennial in 1874 was marked by the addition of a formal chancel and sanctuary with stained glass windows. In 1883, Trinity Church became part of the Episcopal Diocese of East Carolina, following the subdivision of the Diocese of North Carolina.</p><br>
<p>During the first half of the 20th century, the Revd N. C. Hughes, Jr, Trinitys rector, was influential in encouraging Chocowinity&#39;s citizens to retain the name of their town. There were citizens who desired to change the name. Belview was one of the names considered. Hughes is also credited with learning the meaning of the name of the town from an Indian in South Carolina who offered a translation, "fish from many waters." By keeping this Indian word, the town has retained a unique name for itself.</p><br>
<p>In 1939, the church building was moved on log rollers drawn by horses from its original location to a plot of land owned by the parish. The parish hall (built ca 1900) already stood on this site, and the church was placed alongside that building.</p><br>
<p>A two-story addition was built in 1949 to provide room for Sunday School, offices, a kitchen, and general purpose space. The historic chapel has remained in continuous use since it was built in 1774. Trinity Church is located at 182 NC Hwy 33 West in Chocowinity.</p><br>
<h2>Trinity Episcopal Cemetery</h2><br>
<p>In the mid-19th century, land was given to the parish to serve as a cemetery. Many notable town leaders and Beaufort County citizens were buried therein, including Revolutionary and Civil War veterans. Penelope and Aspley Grist (sisters) donated further tracts of land to expand the cemetery. The Major General Bryan Grimes cenotaph was erected in the center of the cemetery in his memory and has remained a popular site for Civil War enthusiasts and historians to visit.</p><br>
<p>The cemetery has continued to serve the parish and community to the present day. In August 2011, the cemetery was added to the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>

<p>The First National Bank Building is a U-shaped, fourteen-story, historic steel structure building located on the corner of 16th and Farnam street in Downtown Omaha, Nebraska. The building was constructed in 1917. It was the original building for the First National Bank as well as the first high-rise building built in Omaha. At 210 feet , it is the 17th tallest building in the city and its unique structure makes it a landmark in downtown Omaha.</p><br>
<p>Renovations in 2000 converted a majority of the building from office space to residential. Currently, the first floor acts as a lobby for residents of the building. A separate partition houses retail, restaurants and another separate entrance exists for the 27 offices located on the second and third floors. Floors four through fourteen contain 81 luxury one- and two-bedroom condominiums.</p><br>
<p>When the building was remodeled and turned into condominiums, a library, gym, and basement storage were added.</p><br>

<p>It is a two-story barn which is 73x32 ft in plan, with a gable roof featuring a hay hood over its front gable. The barn once had two cupolas, but those were lost in a 1946 tornado.</p><br>
<p>It was built by Heinrich H. Schroeder, a Mennonite born in Russia.</p><br>
<p>The Kirkland Hotel is located at the corner of Main Street and Clinton Avenue in Kingston, New York, United States. It is a Tudor-style building dating to the end of the 19th century.</p><br>
<p>It is a rare surviving example of a wood-frame urban hotel. From the middle of the 20th century to the early 1970s it was also a popular local restaurant. After it closed, redevelopment efforts stalled for several decades and it was almost demolished at one point. Today it is used as office space and apartments after being redeveloped. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on November 15, 2002, also becoming recognized as a contributing property to the Kingston Stockade District. After its redevelopment, it was recognized with a statewide preservation award.</p><br>
<h2>Building</h2><br>
<p>The building is situated on an irregularly shaped lot on the east edge of uptown Kingston, outside the Stockade District. On the east is a garage in a similar style; to the south is an Ulster County office building. The neighborhood is urban, although not densely developed; the Old Dutch Church is a block and a half south along Main Street.</p><br>
<p>The hotel&#39;s main block is a trapezoid-shaped four-story frame building on a stone and brick foundation. A tower rises above the entry on the northwest. The roof is a complex series of intersecting steeply pitched gables.</p><br>
<p>On the west side, along Main Street, are two three-bay gabled blocks with another entrance in between them. A porch with steeply pitched roof wraps around the entire building at the first story. The main entrance is at the base of a tower on the northeast corner, topped with a cupola and finial. The north facade, along Clinton Avenue, has paired gables. The east and south have no decoration.</p><br>
<p>Inside the original layout remains mostly intact. Walls are finished in the original lath and plaster. A stair with metal newels and turned balusters connects all floors.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The hotel&#39;s site had been a lumberyard from 1876 to 1885. In 1899 Margaret Conklin purchased the land and built the hotel in the relatively new Tudorbethan architectural style, very different from the mostly conservative, restrained styles hotels of the time were built in. It catered to guests doing business with the county, whose courthouse and offices are nearby.</p><br>
<p>Conklin sold the hotel in 1917 to George and Jane Holms, who in turn sold it to Samuel and Alice Saulpaugh five years later, in 1922. The Saulpaughs are credited with giving the hotel its name. They sold it to another couple, John and Mary Eagen, three years later. The Eagens operated the hotel until 1948, then sold to Max and Ruth Brugmann in 1950.</p><br>
<p>The Brugmanns began operating the Dutch Rathskeller restaurant and bar in the hotel basement. In 1968, they ended the hotel operations, and four years later, in 1972, shut down the restaurant.</p><br>
<p>In 1976 another owner opened the Cleaver Steakhouse in the basement space. It failed later that year. In the mid-1980s, as it passed through a succession of owners trying to redevelop it, the city attempted to designate it a landmark, but its Landmarks and Historic Preservation Commission never approved.</p><br>
<p>Yet another owner repainted it cream and green in 1988 but was unable to complete any other work. In 1996 it reverted to the city, and at one point it was slated for demolition to make way for a county parking garage. In 2002 the Rural Ulster Preservation Company (RUPCO), a local non-profit organization specializing in community development, bought the property with the support of the citys mayor and restored it, including the cupola and front porch, helped by a grant from NeighborWorks America. Hillary Clinton, then one of New Yorks USA senators, strongly supported the project, helping RUPCO obtain other financing.</p><br>
<p>Ultimately the project cost $4.7 million. At one point it was over budget by $500,000, and was under fire for RUPCO&#39;s use of non-union labor. RUPCO was able to install a geothermal heating system, saving money and making the redeveloped building greener.</p><br>

<p>The Main Interior Building, officially known as the Stewart Lee Udall Department of the Interior Building, located in Washington, D.C., is the headquarters of the United States Department of the Interior.</p><br>
<p>Located in the Foggy Bottom neighborhood, it is bounded by 19th Street NW on the west, 18th Street NW on the east, E Street NW on the north, C Street NW on the south, and Virginia Avenue on the southwest. Although the building takes up the entire block, the address is "1849 C Street, NW" to commemorate the founding of the Department of Interior in 1849. To the east is DAR Constitution Hall, the headquarters of the Daughters of the American Revolution, as well as the World Resources Institute and the American Red Cross National Headquarters. To the west is the Office of Personnel Management headquarters. To the north is Rawlins Park, which includes at its eastern end a statue of Major General John A. Rawlins, and Triangle Park is to the south.</p><br>
<p>The building includes offices of the Secretary of the Interior and major bureaus with their employees. It includes the Interior Museum and Interior Library.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>From 1852 to 1917, the Interior Department was headquartered in the Patent Office building, which today houses the National Portrait Gallery and the Smithsonian American Art Museum of the Smithsonian Institution. From 1917 until the completion of the Main Interior Building, the Interior Department was housed in what is now the USA General Services Administration Building, between E and F Streets and 18th and 19th Streets NW.</p><br>
<p>By the time President Franklin D. Roosevelt took office, the Department of the Interior had outgrown its headquarters, and satellite offices in 15 additional rented offices in Washington left employees scattered across the city and overcrowded. Plans for a new headquarters were undertaken by Roosevelt&#39;s Secretary of the Interior, Harold L. Ickes. Sworn in on March 4, 1933, immediately after the Roosevelt administration took office, Ickes received permission from President Roosevelt to take over the soon-to-be finished Interstate Commerce Building in the Federal Triangle area, but this plan was difficult because it required an act of Congress. As an alternative, Roosevelt recommended that funds be appropriated for a new building specifically for the Department. In 1934 Ickes - who as Administrator of Public Works led the Public Works Administration in addition to his position of Secretary - allotted $12.74 million, with the approval of the President, for a new Interior building.</p><br>
<p>Three sites were considered for the Interior Building: One on the National Mall facing Constitution Avenue between 12th and 14th Streets NW, the current site of the National Museum of American History; another on a cluster of small lots on the east, west, and north sides of the old Interior Building; and a third just south of the old Interior building and Rawlins Park in the Foggy Bottom neighborhood. On March 21, 1934, the third proposed site was selected. The plot including the area between 18th and 19th Streets and C and E Streets NW and was one of the few double-block sites in the city where an intervening street (D Street) could be eliminated for development.</p><br>
<p>Waddy Butler Wood was selected as the architect to design the new Interior Building. Secretary Ickes was deeply involved in the design of the new building, and the January 9, 1937 edition of the Washington Daily News stated that "Secretary Ickes has a paternal concern for the new Interior Building. He designed most of it himself, and financed it through PWA." Ickes did not design the building, but many of its features were a result of his influence in the planning, design, and construction stages.</p><br>
<p>The building design was directed as utility and economy. Significant aspects include wide central corridors, open courtyards, movable steel office partitions, acoustically treated ceilings, a floor reserved for mechanical equipment, and fireproofing. Ickes had air conditioning installed in his office in the Old Interior Building and insisted that central air condition be included throughout the new building so that all employees could enjoy it, the first such system in a large government building. Melding aspects of practicality and aesthetics, the Main Interior Building became "one of the most functional and innovative government office structures in Washington" in the 1930s. Ickes reported in a Cabinet meeting that the Interior Building cost 10 to 15 percent less to operate than the buildings in the Federal Triangle even with air conditioning, and cost less per square foot. Ickes also ensured that group assembly space and employee amenities were added to the building, including the Conference Hall (Auditorium), the Activity Space (Gymnasium), the Cafeteria with courtyard, the Employees Lounge (South Penthouse, now offices) with soda fountain, the Interior Museum, the Art Gallery (currently used for offices), the Indian Arts and Crafts Shop, the Broadcasting Studio (North Penthouse), and the parking garage.</p><br>
<p>Systems for maintainable, efficiency, and fire protection were also included in the design. These included a central vacuum system, a floor between the fifth and sixth floors for mechanical equipment (including plumbing, electrical panels, telephone equipment, and air conditioning) and fire and security systems (automatic sprinklers in the parking garage and storage areas, a fire detection system on the mechanical floor, and 11 stairways for rapid evacuation).</p><br>
<p>Despite the emphasis on functionalism of the building, art and architecture are also featured. Decorative detailing such as bronze grilles and hardware, the light fixtures, and plaster moldings, "reflecting the architects and his clients concern for design materials and craftsmanship." Some architectural details feature Interior Department symbols, including a buffalo motif on doors. The building contains more Public Work Administration artwork than any other government building and includes the work of the second-highest number of PWA artists, more than any except the Franklin Street Post Office Station in Washington.</p><br>
<p>As in other aspects of the building design, Ickes was involved in every step of the artwork:</p><br>
<p>In Ickes&#39; official portrait, the plans for the Main Interior Building are shown lying on the table in front of him.</p><br>
<p>Construction of Main Interior began in April 1935 and was completed in December 1936. The building was the first New Deal building in the capital- authorized, designed, and built by the Roosevelt administration. It was notable for the speed of the project, with construction completed in 18 months.</p><br>
<p>At the dedication ceremony held on April 16, 1936, President Roosevelt referred to the building as "symbolical of the Nation&#39;s vast resources" and the "cornerstone of a conservation policy that will guarantee the richness of their heritage", while Ickes saw it as a "symbol of a new day."</p><br>
<h3>Renaming of Main Interior Building</h3><br>
<p>In 2010, the United States Congress passed legislation designating the Main Interior Building in Washington as the "Stewart Lee Udall Department of the Interior Building.", in honor of his contributions. The bill was signed into law on 8 June 2010. Stewart Lee Udall served as Secretary of the Interior for eight years (1961–1969). Stewart Udall died in March, 2010 at the age of 90.</p><br>

<h2>Indigenous Peoples Arts and Crafts Shop</h2><br>
<p>Ickes wanted to promote Native American art, as the Bureau of Indian Affairs was included in the cabinet department. The building was designed to include a shop in which arts and crafts by living Native American artists would be sold. Today, the Indigenous Peoples Craft Shop on the first floor continues to include work by Native American artists. Three murals in the shop were completed by PWA artists. Breaking Camp at Wartime and Buffalo Hunt by Allan Houser depict the Apache. Deer Stalking by Gerald Nailor depicts Navajohunters creating sandpainting.</p><br>
<h2>Murals</h2><br>
<p>Other murals in the building are by Maynard Dixon, Gifford Beal, and William Gropper. Among them:</p><br>
<p>An Incident in Contemporary American Life, Mitchell Jamieson, tempera on canvas, commissioned 1940, installed 1942. This depicts Marian Anderson&#39;s 1939 concert at the Lincoln Memorial after the Daughters of the American Revolution refused to allow an integrated concert to be held at Constitution Hall. Secretary Ickes offered the use of the Lincoln Memorial for her concert.</p><br>
<p>The Negro&#39;s Contribution in the Social and Cultural Development of America, Millard Sheets, oil on canvas, commissioned 1939, installed 1948. This series of four murals depicts African-American influence on America in the areas of Education, the Arts, Religion, and Science.</p><br>
<p>Indian and Soldier, Maynard Dixon, oil on canvas, commissioned 1937, installed 1939. This represents the Bureau of Indian Affairs and "symbolizes the transition of the Indian from warrior to farmer and the immense loss of Indian culture involved." The thickening clouds and disappearing buffalo signify the end of traditional life. The empty space evokes the vastness of the West.</p><br>
<p>Rush for the Oklahoma Land of 1894, John Steuart Curry, oil on canvas, commissioned 1937, installed 1939. This mural depicts an Oklahoma land run. It "captures the seconds after the great gunshot that launched the Oklahoma land rush. It is pure emotion in motion."</p><br>
<p>Construction of a Dam, William Gropper, oil on canvas, commissioned 1937, installed 1939. This mural, which the Interior Museum states is the building&#39;s most reproduced, "glorifies not just public works projects, but work itself," showing the "drama, dignity, and strength of labor."</p><br>
<p>Ansel Adams: Mural Project 1941–1942 was installed in March 2010 after lying dormant for almost 70 years. Then-Secretary Ickes commissioned Adams to produce large-format photographs to convey not only the beauty and grandeur of the natural scene, but to show Interior managed resources, conservation, sound direction and stewardship of those resources. The project was halted in 1942 due to the US entrance into World War II. At that time, Adams had made more than 200 images during a trek that began in Yosemite National Park. He photographed more than just nature, portraying Boulder Dam, at the time the world&#39;s largest. A special part of Adams’ assignment was to show Natives American life and culture. Ansel Adams: The Mural Project 1941–1942 features 26 giclee canvas murals of some of the most iconic sites of the American West, including Grand Teton, Grand Canyon and Glacier National Parks.</p><br>
<p>The Dundee Historic Village is a historic district located in Dundee, Michigan. The district was added to the National Register of Historic Places on August 20, 1990.</p><br>
<p>The district itself is located about one mile east of US-23 along M-50 (known locally as West Monroe Street east of the river and Tecumseh Street to the west of the river) at the bend of the River Raisin. The majority of the district is on the north side of the river— including Riley, Ypsilanti, East Main, and Tecumseh Streets. South of the river includes a small portion of West Monroe and Toledo Streets. The district is colloquially known as the “Triangle District” for the unique shape of the grid plan where Riley and Tecumseh streets intersect at a 45° angle to produce a triangular piece of land cut off by Park Place on the west. The original owners of this triangular plot of land donated it to the village with the promise that it remain undeveloped as a park in the center of the growing community. Today, the triangle is known as Memorial Park, complete with a naval cannon and bandstand.</p><br>
<h2>Old Mill Museum</h2><br>
<p>The most notable building within the district is the Old Mill Museum at 242 Toledo Street on the opposite side of the river from the majority of the district. While the facility itself was not built until the 1850s, the dam upon which it is located was first constructed in 1827 and rebuilt in 1846. The facility first served as a gristmill for the growing milling industry in Dundee. Later, the building was converted to produce hydroelectricity as the village&#39;s only source of power around 1910. Automotive magnate Henry Ford purchased the building and restored it at great cost in 1934. He used it as a small factory to produce welding tips for his industry, and he was known to make many visits to Dundee. His interest in Dundee was an experiment to see if small towns could be used for his massive, global industry. Although the property is praised for its historical nature, it is not listed on the National Register of Historic Places in its own right.</p><br>
