<h2>Removal</h2><br>
<p>On June 24, 2015, New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu acknowledged the impact of the June 2015 Charleston church shooting, and after talking with New Orleans jazz ambassador Wynton Marsalis, Landrieu called for the removal of several city memorials to Confederates.</p><br>
<p>As part of a sixty-day period for public comment, two city commissions accepted the Mayor&#39;s call for the removal of four monuments associated with the Confederacy, including statues of Robert E. Lee, Jefferson Davis and Beauregard, and an obelisk commemorating the Battle of Liberty Place. Governor Bobby Jindal opposed the removals.</p><br>
<p>On December 17, 2015, the New Orleans City Council voted 6-to-1 to remove the Gen. Beauregard Statue, along with three other historical monuments built 100 to 135 years ago. Mayor Landrieu announced that the removal of the monuments would happen within days.</p><br>

Jacob Mesick, its builder and first resident, was a prosperous local farmer who later went into politics. The house has remained in family hands. In 1997 it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>Building</h2><br>
<p>The Mesick House is on a rise above Van Wyck Lane, at the west end of a 79 acre parcel with several other buildings on it, none of them contributing to its historic character. Shaw Bridge (now closed), also listed on the Register, is to the south along the street, crossing Claverack Creek a short distance east of NY 23/9H, the main north–south through route through Claverack. The land crosses the creek to an area of cultivated fields in the east.</p><br>
<p>The house itself is a two-story, five-by-five-bay clapboard-sided frame structure on a stone foundation topped with a hipped roof pierced by four brick chimneys.</p><br>
<p>The Colonial Revival main entrance, a paneled door also with sidelights and transom, opens into a wide center hall with stair. The walls have their original French print wall covering. On either side the large parlors, and the small rooms behind them, retain all their original finishes as well. An archway connects the front and back rooms on the north.</p><br>
<p>The outbuildings are located near the main house. South of it is a modern garage. To the east are the other two, a pole barn and barn/apartment. All are of modern construction.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The land was originally part of the Van Buren family holdings. It later passed to the van Rensselaers, and from them Jacobus Delamater bought it in 1785. He, in turn, sold it to Mesick in 1831.</p><br>
<p>Mesick built a prosperous farm on the lot, which led to the house&#39;s construction around 1840. It is one of the few Greek Revival buildings in Claverack, showing the adaptation of that style into the local architectural tradition. Its level of decoration, symmetry and massing are strong and distinctive aspects of the Greek Revival style.</p><br>
<p>Later in his career Mesick served in the state assembly. From him it passed to his son, the grandson. It remains in the family.</p><br>
<p>During the later 19th century, the original colonnade was replaced with a full-length front porch. In the early 20th century, the original entrance was restored in keeping with the Colonial Revival movement of the era. Later, slight modifications include the archway added on the first floor and the removal of the original oven and firebox pump from the kitchen in the mid-century.</p><br>
<p>The Michigan Bell and Western Electric Warehouse is a former commercial warehouse building located at 882 Oakman Boulevard  in Detroit, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2009. It is now known as the NSO Bell Building.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In the late 1920s, Western Electric and Michigan Bell shared a building on Detroit&#39;s east side, where Western Electric stored and distributed equipment, and Michigan Bell housed and serviced their vehicles. That building proved too small, Michigan Bell used the west side of the first floor as a garage, and the third and sixth floors as maintenance operations and office space, respectively. Western Electric used a rail spur on the north and east side of the building for shipping, the second floor for storage, and the remainder of the building for offices and operations.</p><br>
<p>Western Electric used the building as its Michigan headquarters until 1958, when they moved to a larger facility in Plymouth, Michigan. The next year, the Yellow Pages operation moved into the building. In 1961, a large "Yellow Pages" sign was installed across the front of the building. Michigan Bell sold the building in 1995, although the company continued to use it until 1999.</p><br>
<p>For some years until the mid-1980s, the building was notable for its "Weather-Phone" sign, under the Yellow Pages logo. This translucent white plastic sign, modeled after the Western Electric model 500 desk telephone, was backlit with lights of different colors, providing a basic weather forecast to motorists on the Lodge Freeway at night. A red telephone meant warmer weather was forecast in the next 24 hours, blue meant cooler, and yellow, no change in temperature. The lighting would blink when precipitation was expected, whereas a steady light meant neither rain nor snow was expected. During the redevelopment of the building in 2009, the sign was deemed structurally unsound and removed. It was offered to museums, but due to its sheer size (it was nearly five stories tall) none were able to take it.</p><br>
<p>A mixed-use renovation was planned for the structure in 2009, Total investment is approximately $50,000,000.</p><br>
<p>As of July 2013, the redevelopment is nearing completion, with only the NSO headquarters to be finished. Residents already occupy the building, which contains such amenities as a gym, library, computer room, recreation room, supportive services office, and workout room.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Michigan Bell and Western Electric Warehouse consists of a number of rectangular masses laid out in an irregular footprint. The main section, running along Oakman, is six stories tall, with a central tower that rises to 12 stories. The tower is three bays wide, and the flanking sections of the building are five bays each. Each bay is separated with brick piers, and contains a grouping of three</p><br>
<p>double-hung four-over-four windows with limestone sills. The entrance in the central tower is through a pair of double doors with sidelights and a transom. The doors are located within a -story arched opening, with the surround faced in limestone with Art Deco relief in the keystone.</p><br>
<p>A five-story wing, six bays by seven bays, extends behind the main section. The bays are again separated by brick piers and contain multi-paned, steel industrial-type windows. A two-story warehouse, five bays wide by ten bays deep, runs along the east side of the building. A two-story garage, six bays wide and ten bays deep, runs along the west side. Another single story garage is on the north side.</p><br>
<p>The interior of the structure was originally primarily industrial. However, the entrance vestibule and first floor hallway have a marble stairway with marble faced walls and a vaulted ceiling. The garages and warehouse are open spaces with concrete floors and walls and exposed ceiling trusses. The remainder of the main building is painted brick and concrete block walls and concrete floors. Currently, areas that were built as open warehouse spaces have been subdivided into office areas. There is a third floor kitchen with glazed block walls and tile floors. The eleventh and twelfth floors of the tower are a single open space containing two large water tanks.</p><br>

<h2>Architectural Significance</h2><br>
<p>The Blomeen House is an example of vernacular post-Victorian architecture. It owner-builder successfully combined the Craftsman influence of the period with elements of the earlier picturesque mode. The house is characterized by its unusual combination of Craftsman features (broad gable roofs with overhanging eaves, brackets, ornate knee braces, and straightforward clapboard and shingle cladding) with late Queen Anne features (a large corner tower with conical roof, wide veranda with spindle railing and Tuscan columns. In its combination of vernacular designs, the house is unique among architectural resources in Auburn.</p><br>

<p>The Academy had 55 acre. The Main Building was completed in 1914, and the Sullivan Building was completed in 1917.</p><br>
<p>In 1916, the Saluda Baptist Association agreed to cooperate with the Beaverdam Baptist Association for the equipment of the academy. In 1922, the General Board of the South Carolina Baptist Convention took over operation of the school. In 1931, the South Carolina Baptist Convention sold the property.</p><br>
<p>The principal of the Academy, Rev. Luther Henry Raines, reorganized the school as a private corporation. It became an accredited state high school. Although Bible courses were still taught, the State of South Carolina assisted in paying the teachers until 1952. Raines operated the Academy without state or denominational aid until 1956.</p><br>
<p>The property was divided and sold. In 1976, James and Jeanette Greiner bought 19 acre including the two buildings of the Academy. They converted it into the local headquarters for a river rafting outfitter for the nearby Chattooga River.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<h3>Main Building</h3><br>
<p>The Main building is an L-shaped, wood frame, two-story building with an attic. It has a river rock and concrete foundation covered with stucco that was scored to resemble cut stone. The building has weatherboard siding on the first story and wood shingles on the second story. The building originally had a metal hip roof that is now covered in composition shingles. The roof has a square cupola with pyramidal roof and four brick chimneys. The windows are six over six light, double-hung sash windows.</p><br>
<p>The front elevation has seven bays. There is a gable-roofed portico, supported by four brick columns covered in stucco, that extends across three bays of the front elevation. There is a semi-circular fanlight on the gable end of its roof. The main door has nine lights with a transom.</p><br>
<p>The interior has a central corridor with stairs leading to a second-story landing. A second set of stairs leads to the second floor. The interior has heart pine floors, tongue and groove ceilings, and plaster walls. The first floor had a kitchen, office, four classrooms, and a rest room. The second floor has four classrooms and four dormitory rooms.</p><br>
<p>As shown in old photographs, the building was originally painted a dark color with white trim. Now, it is painted white.</p><br>
<h3>Sullivan Building</h3><br>
<p>The Sullivan Building, which was named for Paul P. Sullivan of Westminster, was built in 1917 about 150 yd to the northwest of the Main Building. The Sullivan Building is an L-shaped, two-story wood frame building with a hip roof. Its west wing built in at a later time. The building has unpainted weatherboarding. There are eight chimneys. The original part of the building has six over six light sash windows. The addition&#39;s original windows have been replaced by either shutters or one over one windows.</p><br>
<p>This building originally had fifteen dormitory rooms. Its interior has been modified for its current business. There is also a non-contributing shed between the two buildings.</p><br>
<p>The Upper Sandy Guard Station Cabin is a log and stone building built in 1935. It was funded as part of the Federal work relief Emergency Relief Appropriations Act of that year, and also by funds from the City of Portland, Oregon.</p><br>
<p>It is "an exceptional expression of a rugged Rustic style USA Forest Service building", and is the only cabin constructed of its particular design. Out of 700 Forest Service administration buildings built in Oregon and Washington during 1933-1942, it is the only one built with both stone and logs as principal materials.</p><br>
<p>It was built in 1935 to house an administrative guard who was to prevent intrusions into the area, part of the city of Portland&#39;s water supply area. It is located in what is now Mt. Hood National Forest, about 5 miles from Government Camp in Clackamas County, Oregon.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the USA National Register of Historic Places in September, 2009. The building was argued to be eligible for NRHP listing by each of several criteria: that it was eligible in the areas "of Conservation for its association with early USDA Forest Service recreation management and its concurrent role in the protection of the Bull Run watershed", in the area of Politics/Government for its association with Franklin D. Roosevelt&#39;s New Deal Programs, and in the area of Architecture as a "unique example" of "non-intrusive design philosophy that evolved among land-management agencies during the period of 1933-1942". It was labor-intensive to build and would not have been replicated any time after the onset of World War II.</p><br>
<p>The building "is also believed to be the only existing cabin with its unique battered corners and mortared stone extension in the Pacific Northwest."</p><br>
<p>According to the National Park Service:</p><br>
<p>The Upper Sandy Guard Station Cabin, built in 1935, is an exceptional expression of a "rugged" Rustic style USA Forest Service building constructed by skilled local carpenters and laborers assisted by men employed under one of President Franklin D. Roosevelts New Deal work relief programs. Funded by the Emergency Relief Appropriations (ERA) Act of 1935, and cooperating funds from the City of Portland, the cabin was built along the newly constructed Timberline Trail specifically to provide housing for an administrative guard to protect the Bull Run Division watershed, the source of the City of Portlands drinking water supply, from public entry. The guard station is no longer used as an administrative site and is now located within the Mt. Hood Wilderness and is managed by the Zigzag Ranger District of the Mt. Hood National Forest.</p><br>
<p>The William B. Dunlap Mansion was a historic house in Bridgewater, Pennsylvania, United States. Erected in 1840 on a bluff over the Beaver River in the northern part of the borough, it has been ranked as the grandest and best-preserved 19th-century house in Bridgewater. On January 16th, 2017, the structure was demolished by borough authorities following condemnation.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The mansion was built for coffee entrepreneur James Arbuckle, whose architect employed the Greek Revival style of architecture. Arbuckle lived in the house until 1865, when he sold it to Samuel R. Dunlap and his family. Among the mansions new residents was Samuels son William, who ran his river transportation business from the house. Upon Samuels death in 1890, the house passed into William; he continued to reside at the property until his own death in 1922. During these years, the house was the home of a public official: William was elected to represent the 46th District in the Pennsylvania State Senate in 1890, and he remained in this position until his death. After his death, the house passed through the hands of few owners; it changed ownership very few times and was only rarely vacant, and thus it has seen less change than most period houses. Except for a period as the home of a veterans organization, the mansion has always been used as a residence, although would-be buyers sought to convert it into offices or a print shop.</p><br>
<p>Dunlap&#39;s mansion is a three-story brick structure built on a stone foundation, with four large chimneys and a cedar interior. Although the house is currently surrounded by a lawn and shrubs, it was once surrounded by a formal garden that may have been larger than any other such garden in western Pennsylvania.</p><br>
<p>On August 29, 1980, the house was added to the National Register of Historic Places for its architecture and for its association with William B. Dunlap. It is also a contributing property to a historic district, the Bridgewater Historic District, which was listed on the National Register in 1996.</p><br>
<p>Following a court order obtained upon the city&#39;s request, the mansion was demolished on January 16th, 2017. 15-20 by-passers watched the historic mansion being demolished. According to the code enforcement officer, "plaster was falling from the ceiling, the boiler had rusted into place and floorboards were rotting". The owner (John Provich Jr.) was given a year to bring the house up to code before demolition would proceed, but no renovation was done.</p><br>

<p>The Harlow Block is a commercial building located at 100 West Washington Street in Marquette, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>One of Marquette&#39;s first settlers, Amos R. Harlow, travelled from Massachusetts to Marquette in 1849 to organize the Jackson Iron Company along with a contingent of other investors. The next year, Harlow platted the village of Marquette. He eventually served as postmaster, township supervisor, highway commissioner, and justice of the peace in Marquette. In addition to his mining ventures, Harlow invested in lumbering, farming, and real estate.</p><br>
<p>Harlow constructed this building, the Harlow Block, in 1887 as a real estate investment. He hired Hampson Gregory, owner of the Marquette Manufacturing Company, to construct the building. The two men collaborated on the design of the building. Nearly all of the space in the building was rented before construction was complete. The Harlow block continues to house retail and professional space in Marquette.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Harlow Block, built in an Italianate style, exemplifies late nineteenth century vernacular commercial architecture. The rectangular building is three stories tall and constructed of red Lake Superior sandstone of a type locally known as "raindrop" for its iridescence. The building measures extends 75 feet along Front Street and 146 feet along Washington Street, and is built on a sloping lot such that the ground floor is substantially covered in the rear of the building.</p><br>
<p>The main facade is separated by pilasters into four bays, three wider ones which are substantially identical, and a narrower one, located second from the right, housing the entrance. The window plan on the upper floors has three windows in the wider bays and two in the narrower one. The overall impression is of a symmetrical design with an extension on one side.</p><br>
<p>The entry is framed with giant pilasters, and contains a double door surrounded by lights. The top of the entry section terminates in a projecting cornice containing a panel inscribed with the name of the block. On the upper floors containing office space, arched windows are topped with ornamentally carved caps.</p><br>
<p>The main floor houses five stores (two on Front Street and three on Washington) with iron fronts and plate glass windows. The second and third floors contain offices and rooms.</p><br>

<p>It is rumored that the famous poem "A Visit from St. Nicolas", (known more commonly as "&#39;Twas the Night Before Christmas"), by Clement Clarke Moore was written about this building for two reasons. The first reason was that Moore was the cousin of Mary Eliza, the wife of Constable Hall architect, William Constable Jr. The second being that in the poem, the narrator "tore open the shutters and threw up the sash" referencing interior shutters, in which Constable Hall has.</p><br>
<p>The Stephen Miller House, also known as the Van Wyck-Miller House, is located along the NY 23 state highway in Claverack, New York, United States. It is a wooden farmhouse dating from the late 18th century.</p><br>
<p>It is representative of the type of house built by a successful businessman of that region and time period, combining the Federal style with Dutch Colonial elements common in earlier houses in the region. It has remained relatively intact with some later additions. In 1997 it and five other buildings on the ashery Miller ran were listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>Property</h2><br>
<p>The house is on a 23.4 acre parcel on the south side of Route 23, at the corner with Van Wyck Lane. There are five other buildings near it, all considered contributing resources to the National Register listing. The land is a mixture of woodlots and fields. The neighborhood, rural with large lots in the area around the farm, becomes residential again to the east. Two other Register-listed properties, the Van Rensselaer Lower Manor House and Dr. Abram Jordan House, are nearby on the opposite side of the road.</p><br>
<p>The house itself is a two-story, five-by-two-bay frame building on a stone foundation with a bell gambrel roof pierced by two brick chimneys at either end. A dentilled cornice marks the roofline on the north and south elevations. There is a one-story wing on the west. The ground at the north (front) elevation slopes westward, exposing the cellar on that side.</p><br>
<p>A shed-roofed porch supported by six pillars shelters the main entrance on the north (front) facade. Two small windows flank it; the remaining first-story windows have paneled shutters; eave windows echo them on the second story. In the wing on the west side, a door provides access to the cellar. The windows of that story are similarly treated to those on the first story.</p><br>
<p>The rear has a similar fenestration to the front but without the porch. On the east elevation is a small Dutch door next to the chimney. It has a small shed-roofed porch as well.</p><br>
<p>Inside, the entrance, another Dutch door with four-light transom, opens on a central hall. The front rooms are larger than the rear ones. All have fireplaces with early 19th-century mantels. The one in the northwest room has an Arts and Crafts-style tile inlay. The second floor has a similar floor plan, while the basement is divided into several rooms including a modern family room. The west room down there has an original fireplace and carved mantel. All rooms have their original plaster and lath walls and wide planked flooring.</p><br>
<p>The largest of the outbuildings is the frame store to the east, contemporary to the house. Its gable end and main entrance faces Van Wyck Lane, with a side entrance facing Route 23. It is a two-story frame building with a front porch, rear brick chimney and metal roof.</p><br>
<p>Behind the house is a brick smokehouse with gabled shingled roof partially built into the ground. Next to it is a frame privy sided in clapboard with a metal roof. Nearby are the largest outbuildings, two barns joined into an L shape. They are frame buildings on stone foundations sided in clapboard with double doors at their main entrances facing the roads. The north gable end has a circular window with eight divided lights.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The house was built around 1790 by Miller, son of Cornelius Muller, whose brick Dutch house on the other side of Claverack is also listed on the Register. The younger man was among the first merchants in the community to set up shop on the east side, selling dry goods and buying or accepting as barter ash from recently cleared farmland to extract potash from.</p><br>
<p>His house is not high in style, but does reflect Millers commercial success in its large mass and predominantly Federal stylings. The gambrel roof and Dutch door acknowledge the areas Dutch colonial past.</p><br>
<p>The outbuildings are either contemporary with the house, such as the store building, or added later as the two barns were. The only significant changes to the house have been the addition of the west wing, probably some time later in the 19th century, and the changes to the basement floor plan made by owners in the late 20th century.</p><br>

<p>The Richard T. Foley Site is an archaeological site in Jackson Township, Greene County, Pennsylvania, United States, in the southwestern corner of the state. Located along Job Creek, the site was known since the late 1960s to local artifact collectors as a valuable collection location. Significant artifacts were discovered by landowner Richard T. Foley in 1971, when he began to plow part of the site to expand his garden. Having found bits of flint, bone, and pottery, Foley contacted local archaeologists, who soon began a three-year excavation of the property. A larger investigation was carried out by archaeologists from the Carnegie Museum of Natural History in 1982; they discovered that the area previously excavated was only the periphery of a larger campsite. Later in 1982, work led by James T. Herbstritt discovered a village site elsewhere on the property.</p><br>
<p>Grants from the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission and the R.K. Mellon Foundation enabled Herbstritt to lead another excavation in 1984, which examined the village found two years before. The excavation showed that the village had been planned in an oval but consisted of two concentric circles composed of circular houses, at least sixty in number. At the middle of the village appeared evidence of an earlier Monongahela village underlying the larger site. Although most Monongahela villages were stockaded, the village at the Foley Site clearly had no stockade. However, the site was accompanied by a large midden; along with European trade goods found elsewhere at the site, the midden has demonstrated that the site was occupied during the first third of the seventeenth century.</p><br>
<p>A large number of artifacts found in the midden at the Foley Site are animal-related, including bones of birds and a wide range of animals, as well as shells of box turtles. Also present are metal and clay objects such as beads and combs, but perhaps the most significant discovery at the site was that of European-produced objects made of brass and glass. The presence of these objects enabled archaeologists to determine that the village site was occupied during the Historic Monongahela period. Like the Foley Site, many Monongahela villages are located in river bottoms.</p><br>
<p>In 1984, the Foley Site was added to the National Register of Historic Places because of its information-yielding potential.</p><br>
