<p>The Church of All Saints is a parish of the Catholic Church in the Diocese of Davenport. The church is located in Keokuk, Iowa, United States. The church building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places as St. Peter Church, the name of the congregation that built it.</p><br>
<p>The parish of All Saints was established in 1982 as the result of the consolidation of the parishes of St. Peters (1856), St. Marys (1867), and St. Francis de Sales (1870). All three contributed furniture and fixtures to the newly constituted All Saints. The parish church is the former St. Peter&#39;s; St. Francis de Sales was subsequently demolished.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The area of present-day Keokuk was within the Half-Breed Tract, land set aside by the United States Senate on January 18, 1825, for settlement of mixed-race descendants of the Sac and Fox tribes. Over the years, some of the women had married French trappers who worked the area, and their descendants were excluded from communal lands because their fathers lacked tribal status. Mixed-race families could live in the Half-Breed Tract but could not sell individual allotments until Congress changed the law in 1837.</p><br>
<p>In 1824 Bishop Louis Dubourg of New Orleans appointed the Rev. Charles Felix Van Quickenborne, SJ the Vicar General of Upper Louisiana, which included the Half-Breed Tract. He is the first priest known to have visited the area of present-day Keokuk, visiting in 1832 and 1833, after that section of Iowa was opened to settlement. He recommended a church be built, as he thought the funds could be easily raised. The next priest to visit the area was the Rev. Peter Paul Lefevere. He reported that the number of Catholics in the area numbered 38. In 1840 the Rev. Samuel Charles Mazzuchelli, OP from St. Pauls Church in Burlington added Keokuk to his missionary area. The same year the Rev. John George Alleman started visiting Keokuk regularly from St. Josephs in Fort Madison; however, he was unable to raise enough money to build a church. He would continue visiting the area until 1848.</p><br>
<p>The first parish established in the town was named St. John the Evangelist and was founded in 1844 by Rev. Lucien Galtier, who was named the first pastor in Keokuk. The church was a log structure built on the corner of Second and Blondeau Streets. The church was built by Hugh V. Gildea from Dubuque with the help of Father Galtier. A future historian of Keokuk, Virginia Wilcox Ivins, remembered seeing the "elegant" priest hammering on the church roof on a hot July day when she was twelve years old. The church building measured 20 by and was 12 ft high. It cost $598.37, and was paid for from funds received from the Society of the Propagation of the Faith. Galtier stayed only a few months, and Father Alleman had care of the Keokuk parish again. The Rev. Jean Villars became its pastor in 1848 and he stayed for nine years. The Rev. William Emonds was sent to Keokuk in 1855 to buy back property lost by the church. Instead, he bought new property on which St. Peters Church was founded. By now there were quite a few German Catholics in Keokuk, who had immigrated after the 1848 Revolutions, and they wanted a priest who spoke their language. After 1857 St. Peters became the only Catholic church in Keokuk. St. John the Evangelist was abandoned and Father Villars recalled. The cornerstone was laid for the original church on Exchange Street between Ninth and Tenth Streets on April 20, 1856.</p><br>
<p>St. Marys Church was established in 1867 to serve the pastoral needs of German immigrants. The parish built a red brick church north of St. Peters in 1911. St. Francis de Sales Church was begun in 1870 to serve the neighborhoods on the east side of town. All three parishes became part of the Davenport Diocese when it was established in 1881. St. Francis parish built a stone church in 1899, designed by James J. Egan who had earlier designed both Sacred Heart Cathedral in Davenport and St. Ambrose Cathedral in Des Moines.</p><br>
<p>As St. Peters grew the parish decided to relocate the church in 1872. Three lots were purchased at Ninth and Bank Streets. Plans for the new church building were completed in 1878 by Chicago architect William John Dillenburg, who had been an assistant architect in completing the Cologne Cathedral in Germany. He is also responsible for the Church of St. John the Baptist in Burlington, Iowa. Both All Saints and St. Johns are similar in design and were built at the same time. Ground was broken for the new structure in 1879, and its cornerstone was laid on June 12, 1881. Crowell and Worley of Keokuk served as the general contractors, Robert Burns of Keokuk was responsible for the carpentry, and Adam Mullen, of Chicago did the roof work.</p><br>
<p>The parish pastor, the Rev. Thomas O&#39;Reilly, underestimated the cost to build the church. As a result, it had to be built in stages over an extended period of time. The total cost of construction came in at $50,000. It was completed in 1885.</p><br>
<p>In 1886 Franciscan Sisters from Peoria, Illinois opened St. Joseph Hospital next to St. Mary&#39;s Church. In 1975 it merged with Graham Hospital and became Keokuk Area Hospital.</p><br>
<p>The commission for the churchs solid marble altar was given to Joseph Conradi of St. Louis in 1904. The buildings foundations had to be reinforced to support the weight of the new altar. The baptistery was added to the sacristy area at the same time. The altar was dedicated on October 8, 1905.</p><br>
<p>Because of declining numbers of clergy in the diocese, and the declining population in Keokuk, the diocese decided to consolidate the three parishes into one. The Church of All Saints was established in 1982. It was at this time that the Chapel of the Angels was added in the left sacristy area of the church. The chapel used the angel statues that flanked the high altar at St. Marys, the pews from St. Francis de Sales, as well as other elements from the three churches. The Blessed Sacrament is housed in the chapel, and it is used for weekday Masses and First Friday Adoration. The organ from St. Marys was placed in the main church.</p><br>
<p>A Monument Garden is located near the chapel entrance behind the rectory. The cornerstones from the first St. Peters Church (1856), the second St. Marys Church (1911), the second St. Francis de Sales Church (1898), and St. Mary&#39;s School (1907) were refaced to designate All Saints parish.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The Church of All Saints is an outstanding example late Gothic Revival style in the state of Iowa. The 60 by structure follows a basilica plan. The exterior is composed of local clay brick, and magnesium limestone for the coping on the pilasters, window sills and buttresses. It rests on a foundation of rough coursed limestone. The verticality of the church is emphasized by its central tower that rises 180 ft and by the corner towers that are 75 ft tall. Stepped corbel tables are located below the eaves of the steeply pitched gable roof and horizontal corbelling is located at the central spire base. Above is an eight-sided offset tower that terminates in four gabled facades. In each of the four facades of the tower are pointed-arched louvers in the bell chamber. An eight-sided spire culminates in a cross.</p><br>
<p>The side elevations are six bays in length and are separated by buttresses. Each bay contains a 5 by paired lancet window. The church&#39;s art glass windows were created in Munich, Germany and installed by the A. Misch Company of Chicago in 1884 at a cost of $3,300. The window on the central tower is 30 ft tall. It features quatrefoil, Latin cross and yin-yang-shaped lights that are set within rosette forms.</p><br>
<p>The interior is divided into three naves with vaulted ceilings that are divided by columns with capitals in the Corinthian order. A double gallery is located in the rear of the church. In the apse on the opposite side of the church is a carved white marble altar. The statue in the central tower of the reredos is that of Saint Peter, the church&#39;s patron saint at the time it was built. The lower level has statues of the Four Evangelists. The former altar frontal bears an image of the Lamb and the scroll with seven seals from the Book of Revelation. The Stations of the Cross that line the side walls came from Munich and were erected on February 28, 1892.</p><br>
<p>Alterations to the church include the replacement of the original wooden front doors with aluminum framed glass doors in 1968. Some of the art glass above the doors was also replaced by thin, clear, horizontal glass panels. A concrete ramp and new steps replaced the original stone steps in 1980. A new Reconciliation Room and a restroom replaced the original confessionals in the back of the church in 1982. The church was redecorated in the mid-1990s.</p><br>
<h2>Catholic schools</h2><br>
<p>The first Catholic school was established in Keokuk by the Visitation Sisters in 1852. They opened a free school first. In 1853 they started a new convent and a select school for both boarders and day students. St. Peters Parish desired a parochial school, but the Visitation Sisters rule forbade them from teaching in parochial schools. The parish school was started by 1859, and the Rev. Louis DeCailly asked the School Sisters of Notre Dame to teach in the school. They taught there from 1861 to 1864. They withdrew from teaching when Father DeCailly wanted to start a high school for girls, and the Notre Dame Sisters felt it would infringe on the Visitation Academy.</p><br>
<p>Lay teachers took over the teaching responsibilities in the parish school. The Visitation Sisters left in 1867 because of financial problems that resulted from the building of a new school. The parish took over the school and the Daughters of Charity came to teach the same year. The common school and the select school were merged in 1877. The grade school was renamed St. Vincents. The Notre Dame Sisters came back to Keokuk and staffed the parochial school at St. Marys Church. St. Peters High School continued until a central Catholic high school named Cardinal Stritch was opened in 1965. The Daughters of Charity left Keokuk in 1996. Because of low enrollment and financial concerns, Cardinal Stritch consolidated with Holy Trinity High School in Fort Madison in 2006. St. Vincents Elementary School, which includes preschool through fifth grade, moved into the former Cardinal Stritch building.</p><br>

<p>South Peterboro Street Commercial Historic District is a national historic district located at Canastota in Madison County, New York. The district contains 20 contributing buildings, including the separately listed US Post Office-Canastota. The buildings were built between about 1870 and 1930 and are largely two and three story attached brick rows set close to the street.</p><br>
<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.</p><br>
<p>The Industrial Arts Building on the Arizona State University campus in Tempe, Arizona, later known as the Anthropology Building and now known as the School of Human Evolution and Social Change, was built in 1914. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Industrial Arts Building was designed by L. G. Knipe of Phoenix, following the preliminary drawings of California architect Norman F. Marsh. Marsh&#39;s use of Neoclassical Revival architecture had already been demonstrated at such historic sites such as the Monroe School and Phoenix Union High School.</p><br>
<p>The building is significant in the history of what was then a normal school. It was the first west of College Avenue (which has since been turned into Cady Mall, a pedestrian mall through campus), and it also marked the expansion of the school&#39;s scope beyond teacher training.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The Industrial Arts Building is shaped like the letter H, with two stories and a basement. The central entry is recessed 55 feet from the north and south wings, featuring a Neoclassical Revival pediment supported by four Doric columns. The building is faced with tan bricks.</p><br>
<p>Interior renovations in 1936 and 1973 have removed most of the original interior finishes.</p><br>
<p>South Peterboro Street Residential Historic District is a national historic district located at Canastota in Madison County, New York. The district contains 44 contributing buildings. It includes residences and churches built between about 1850 and 1930 and executed in a broad range of popular architectural styles.</p><br>
<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.</p><br>
<p>The Gay House was a historic Queen Anne style house in Montgomery, Alabama. The two-story frame building was built by the Hugger Brothers Construction Company in 1900 for Charles Linn Gay. Gay, born on November 8, 1862, was a Montgomery businessman. He died on July 4, 1928. The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on March 15, 1975. It was mostly destroyed by fire in October 2007 and the remnants were sold for architectural salvage in July 2011.</p><br>
<p>The former Eighth Precinct Police Station is a building located at 4150 Grand River Avenue in the Woodbridge Historic District of Detroit, Michigan, United States. It is the second-oldest police building in Detroit, and was designated a Michigan State Historic Site in 1973 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974. The building now houses the Detroit Castle Lofts.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>As the west side of Detroit expanded in the late 1800s, city services followed. In 1873, a police precinct station was constructed at the corner of Michigan and Trumbull streets. This precinct, the Second, covered all of Detroit&#39;s west side beyond Fourth Street. As the area population increased, substations were constructed in the precinct, including, in 1879, a substation at the corner of what is now Grand River and Rosa Parks. This substation was demolished in 1900 to make way for the construction of the present building.</p><br>
<p>This building was designed by Louis Kamper and built between 1900 and 1901, for a cost of $46,000. In 1901, as part of a police department shakeup, the original Second Precinct headquarters on Trumbull was closed and this building on Grand River became the new Second Precinct Headquarters. In 1903, the Second Precinct was divided, and the Grand River station became the headquarters of the new Sixth Precinct. In 1910, precincts were renumbered citywide, and the area became the Eighth Precinct. This station remained in service until 1954, when the precinct was closed.</p><br>
<p>After 1954, the Detroit Police Youth Bureau used the station as office space; the buildings were later used by the Detroit Police Personnel Division. In 2013, the building was converted to lofts, as part of the ongoing revitalization of Woodbridge.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>Kamper designed the French Renaissance Châteauesque station as two structures connected by an arcade. The main building, used as office space, is a -story structure measuring seventy-two feet long by forty-five feet wide. The smaller building, initially used as a carriage house and later as a garage, is also a -story structure, and measures forty-six feet long by thirty feet wide. Both buildings are constructed of limestone on the first floor and brick on the second, and feature high pitched roofs, conically roofed towers, and elaborate stone dentils which give the impression, especially on the towers, of castle battlements.</p><br>
<p>The main entrance to the station is through a covered stone porch framed by three semi-circular arches supported by columns. A stone balustrade spans the porch. Six faces of individuals significant at the time the building was constructed decorate the capitals: Governor Hazen Pingree, Detroit mayor William Maybury and the four men who made up the Detroit Police Commission. Two conical roofed towers, flank the entrance. The windows in the towers have transoms and stone lintels, and the highest window in each tower features an elaborate stone hood-moulding. A wall dormer on the second story contains three rectangular windows with a circular window above, outlined in stone, framing a Maltese Cross.</p><br>
<p>The garage has a full tower on the western corner which is identical to the two on the main building. The main door is a double door with a semi-circular arch. The wall dormer on the second story is similar to that on the main building, but without the circular window above.</p><br>
<p>Cazenovia Village Historic District is a national historic district located at Cazenovia in Madison County, New York. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.</p><br>
<h2>Structures</h2><br>
<p>The district contains 278 contributing buildings, one contributing site, and twelve contributing structures. It consists of a wide variety of residential, commercial, civic, and ecclesiastical buildings built in popular architectural styles dating from about 1790 to 1935.</p><br>
<p>The Fugitive Slave Convention was held in Cazenovia in 1850.</p><br>
<p>The Gerald–Dowdell House, in Montgomery, Alabama, was built c.1854. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.</p><br>
<p>It was built by Perley and Camilla (Sanford) Buckley Gerald. Perley Gerald, a native of New York, moved to Alabama in 1829, first settling in Mobile before moving to the Montgomery area to trade with the Creek Indians. During the Gold Rush of 1849, Gerald went west and made a fortune trading with the miners. He later married Camilla Sanford Buckley, whose brother was General John Williams Sanford of Georgia and whose nephew was Colonel J.W.A. Sanford, Jr., who designed the State flag.</p><br>
<p>According to local tradition, Herman Arnold, conductor of the orchestra at the Montgomery Theater, was renting the front corner room of the house in 1861, at the outbreak of the Civil War. Arnold arranged “Dixie” as a march and led the Montgomery Brass Band in the inaugural parade. Another local inhabitant was Robert T. Simpson, a Justice of the Alabama Supreme Court who lived in the building from 1940 to 1949. The building is within walking distance of several key sites in the civil rights movement, including Dexter Avenue Baptist Church, where Dr. Martin Luther King once served as pastor.</p><br>
<p>The Gerald–Dowdell House is one of the few large raised cottages remaining in Montgomery, and has undergone substantial rehabilitation as part of its conversion for use as a law office for the firm of Wilkerson & Bryan, P.C. In 2000, construction was completed on a new building connected to the historic structure through what was once an enclosed back porch. The addition was designed to convey the image of a carriage house, in keeping with the historic nature of the site.</p><br>
<p>The Ulster House Hotel, formerly the Wellington Hotel, is located on Main Street in Pine Hill, New York, United States. It is a large wooden Italianate-style building dating to the late 19th century, currently vacant and undergoing renovations.</p><br>
<p>It is one of the few remaining hotel buildings from the peak era of Catskill resorts. In 2002 it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>Building</h2><br>
<p>The hotel is on a corner lot on the northeast of the intersection of Main and Academy streets, marking the west end of Pine Hill&#39;s small, quiet downtown. To the north and east are residential properties. The small Mosier Creek runs through the property, which slopes slightly downhill to the east.</p><br>
<p>The building itself is a three-story six-by-three-bay frame structure on a stone foundation sided in clapboard. It has a rear wing, with a similar two-story wing of later construction to the north. Both have gabled roofs with similar treatments as the main roof&#39;s asphalt-shingled low hipped roof, topped with a cupola with three narrow round-arched windows and a similar hipped roof. The slope exposes the basement along the entire rear, providing for several entrances.</p><br>
<p>A wraparound porch with metal shed roof supported by round Colonial Revival columns runs the length of the south (front) and all of the west elevations. A low spindlework rail connects them. At the roofline are broad overhanging eaves supported by brackets on a molded cornice and simple frieze.</p><br>
<p>The main entrance is in the center of the south facade. It is a pair of wood and glass paneled doors in a simple wooden surround with a toplight. It opens into a central hall with flanking parlors spanning the full depth of the main block. The moldings, wall finishes and parquet floor are original.</p><br>
<p>At the rear a door provides access to the rear wing. It has a central hall of its own and many original finishes. The second and third floors also have central halls. Like the simply decorated guest rooms, they, too, retain their original finishes.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The small mountain town of Pine Hill became a destination for vacationers seeking the Catskills fresh mountain air and scenic views in 1872, when the Ulster and Delaware Railroad was completed through past the village. The hotel, known then as the Wellington, was built ten years later. A 1905 railroad travel guide describes it as having 152 rooms, making it the second largest hotel on the railroads route.</p><br>
<p>Later it fell into disuse when the Catskill resort industry declined in the mid-20th century with the rise of the automobile. It remains vacant today but intact and preserved. It is currently (2019) a private residence.</p><br>
<p>The Park Avenue Hotel was a hotel in the Cass Corridor of Detroit, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2006, and removed in 2024. It was also known as Salvation Army Harbor Light Center and is not to be confused with Park Avenue House, also once known as Park Avenue Hotel. The building was imploded on July 11, 2015.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Park Avenue was one of three former hotels located on Park Avenue and designed by Louis Kamper for Lew Tuller; the other two are the Eddystone at 100 Sproat St. (across Sproat from the Park Avenue Hotel) and the Royal Palm at 2305 Park Avenue which now operates as the Park Avenue House. All three were on the National Register of Historic Places, and the city council designated the property a municipal historic district in 2006.</p><br>
<p>The Park Avenue Hotel was constructed in 1924, and contained 252 rooms. However, Tuller apparently overextended himself financially constructing hotels, and in 1928 lost all three hotels along Park Avenue. The Park Avenue Hotel continued to operate as a residential</p><br>
<p>hotel until 1957 when it was purchased by the Salvation Army and converted into a home for the aged.</p><br>
<p>However, the surrounding neighborhood steadily declined, and by the 1980s, the Salvation Army was using the hotel as their Harbor Light Center homeless shelter. Operations were moved in 2007, and the Salvation Army planned to sell the building to a developer. However, those plans fell through.</p><br>
<p>The building was acquired by the development arm of Olympia Entertainment and the Detroit Historic District Commission approved its demolition to make room for the loading dock for Little Caesars Arena, home of the Detroit Red Wings and Detroit Pistons. It was imploded by Adamo Demolition on July 11, 2015.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Park Avenue Hotel was a rectangular, thirteen story Renaissance Revival steel frame structure, clad with brick, limestone, and terra cotta. Smooth limestone covered the first three floors, forming a base, and buff-colored brick with limestone quoins were used above. There were decorative terra cotta window treatments on the 4th, 12th, and 13th floors, and a decorative terra cotta cornice topped the structure. The main facade exhibited a vast array of windows. The first floor contained the main entrance and storefront windows.</p><br>
<p>The Francis M. Drexel School was a historic school in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States. Located along S. 16th Street, the school was designed by Joseph Anschutz and built under the direction of Charles O&#39;Neill, Jr.</p><br>
<p>The school was named for Francis Martin Drexel, whose son, banker and philanthropist Anthony J. Drexel, founded Drexel University two years after the construction of the school.</p><br>
<h2>The school</h2><br>
<p>At the time of the Drexel Schools construction, Philadelphias school system had a decentralized administration, with Drexel being a part of the Twenty-sixth Section. The school buildings, however, were designed by the central administration.</p><br>
<p>The Drexel family was intensely involved with education at this time. Anthony J. Drexel, as the partner of J.P. Morgan, was an internationally important financier, and as the partner of George W. Childs, publisher of the Philadelphia Public Ledger, was influential in local affairs as well. He was a close friend of Childs, and together they worked to offer free or inexpensive education to the working class. According to Childs, Drexel gave "many munificent gifts to established educational and charitable institutions," as well as founding and endowing the Drexel Institute, which later became Drexel University. Drexel&#39;s orphaned niece, Katherine Drexel, sought advice from Childs and Drexel on her plans to become a nun in the service of educating Native Americans and African-Americans. This work led to her beatification by Pope John II. Two other nieces, Elizabeth Drexel Smith and Louise Drexel Morrell, founded and endowed the St. Francis Industrial School at Eddington, Pennsylvania in 1888., p. 159 The George W. Childs School, also designed by Anschutz, was built in 1894 just three blocks north of the Francis M. Drexel School.</p><br>
<p>Completed in 1889,</p><br>
<p>Anschutz worked in the tradition of Samuel Sloans "Philadelphia Plan" of school architecture: On each floor, classrooms opened onto a single corridor, and were divided by moveable partitions. Coatrooms were provided in each classroom. Stairways and other non-classroom space were located at the end of the corridor, near the outside of the building. The architectural plans closely follow these principles. The schools windows were enlarged in 1914, and in 1922, lighting was changed from gas to electric.</p><br>
<p>Although it originally housed classes for both elementary and secondary students, Drexel was built at a time when school boards were beginning to open separate schools for different purposes. It remained in use by the Philadelphia Public Schools into the late twentieth century.</p><br>
<h2>Recognition and demolition</h2><br>
<p>In 1986, the Francis Drexel School was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in recognition of its architectural significance. While many Philadelphia schools had been modeled on the Drexel School in the late nineteenth century, most had been destroyed or significantly remodeled; only Drexel and two other schools remained in a condition similar to that of their original construction. Fifty-two other Philadelphia schools, including five designed by Anschutz, were added to the Register on the same day as part of the Philadelphia Public Schools multiple property submission.</p><br>
<p>The Drexel School was demolished in February, 2010.</p><br>
<p>The Isaiah Davenport House is a historic home in Savannah, Georgia, United States, built in 1820. It has been operated as a historic house museum by the Historic Savannah Foundation since 1963.</p><br>
<p>The house is located at 324 East State Street, in the northwest corner of Columbia Square.</p><br>
<h2>Architectural style</h2><br>
<p>The Federal-style dwelling neared completion in 1820 and first appeared on the tax rolls 1821. Master builder Isaiah Davenport, a native of New England, designed and built the home as a dwelling for his growing household as well as a demonstration of his building skills.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The 1820 Federal-style dwelling was built by upwardly mobile artisan Isaiah Davenport and his crew for his growing household, which included his wife, seven children, and nine enslaved workers. It was his family home until his death in 1827 when his wife, Sarah Clark Davenport, converted it into a boarding house. She lived in the residence on Columbia Square until 1840 when she sold it to the Baynard family of South Carolina. The house remained in their hands for the next 109 years.</p><br>
<p>As time passed, the once stately home in a fashionable neighborhood became a rundown rooming house in a seedy part of town. Even in an advanced state of neglect, New Deal surveyors recognized the architectural significance of the home when they identified and measured it for the Historic American Buildings Survey in the 1930s. Threatened with demolition in 1955, a group of community-spirited citizens joined forces to purchase the Davenport House. This was the first act of the Historic Savannah Foundation, which has gone on to save hundreds buildings in the historic city through its renowned revolving loan fund and other historic preservation activities. In 1955, the Davenport House became the office for Historic Savannah Foundation as well as a family services agency. In 1957, Savannah Landscape Architect Clermont Huger Lee prepared a period-specific landscape plan and wall detail for the garden, later revised by others.</p><br>
<p>Sensing the potential for an historic site, the first floor of the house was restored and opened to the public as a museum on March 9, 1963.</p><br>
<p>Years later the second and third floors were opened and Historic Savannah Foundation moved its offices to another building. Beginning in the mid-1980s leaders of the museum began an effort to adhere to professional museum standards. In the mid-1990s the museum began another restoration process, with a funding drive headed by Cornelia Groves and Clare Ellis, which resulted in a more authentic experience for museum visitors, including period wallpaper and period room furnishings which reflect the inventory taken at the time of Isaiah Davenport’s death in 1827. Groves also established the Friends of Davenport House in 2003.</p><br>
<h2>Museum</h2><br>
<p>The Davenport House was first opened as a museum in 1963. In 2005, The Davenport House received the Preserve America Presidential Award. In 2010. It received the Georgia Governor&#39;s Award in the Humanities.</p><br>

<p>The Uptown Broadway Building is a historic three-story building at 4703&ndash;4715 North Broadway in Uptown, Chicago. Built in 1926, it was designed by Walter W. Ahlschlager and is known for its ornate terra-cotta facade depicting ancient gods, rams heads, shields, helmets, birds, fruits, and trophies. Lynn Becker of the Chicago Reader has called the exterior "a riotous, Spanish-baroque-inspired hallucination". According to unconfirmed local legends, Al Capone operated a speakeasy in the buildings basement.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986. It is also listed as part of the Uptown Square Historic District.</p><br>
<p>On December 31, 2013, the Kiss Kiss Cabaret announced they chose it for their new location., it has been home to the Baton Show Lounge.</p><br>
<p>The Moore–Lindsay House is a Queen Anne style Victorian historic house located in Norman, Oklahoma. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and now houses a museum.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Moore–Lindsay House was built starting in 1899 by William and Agnes Moore. The couple spent $5,000 to build their 2,700 ft&sup2; "Princess Anne" style home, at a time when most new houses in the Oklahoma Territory were being built for about $400. The Moores, who had moved from St. Joseph, Missouri, invested in real estate and, in 1899, was named president of the Norman Building and Loan Association.</p><br>
<p>In 1907, the year in which the Oklahoma Territory became the state of Oklahoma, the Moores moved to Oklahoma City. They sold the home to Harry and Daisy Lindsay. Daisy Lindsay was a niece of the Moores. Harry Lindsay was president of the Norman Grain and Milling Company. He also served on the Norman City Council and the Norman School Board. Daisy Lindsay was active in the Woman&#39;s Christian Temperance Union, the Norman Garden Club, and the literary club - the Old Regime Club.</p><br>
<p>The Lindsays had one child, Mary Agnes, who attended the University of Oklahoma and married Charles W. Wantland in 1911. Wantland played football under coach Bennie Owen, and after finishing his studies went on to be hired by Central State Normal School (now the University of Central Oklahoma) in Edmond, Oklahoma, to coach the schools football team. Wantland Stadium and Wantland Hall are both named for him.</p><br>
<p>The Lindsays remained in Norman, and Daisy Lindsay lived in the house until her death in 1951. After that time, the house was sold and divided into apartments.</p><br>
<h2>Museum</h2><br>
<p>The house was purchased by the city of Norman in 1973 and renovated for use as a museum. The structure is owned by the city of Norman, while the museum within it is operated by the non-profit Cleveland County Historical Society (CCHS).</p><br>
<p>The Cleveland County Historical Society, which was formed in 1967, now operates the museum. The museum is open Tuesday through Saturday of each week, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. The historical society maintains a collection of some 5,000 rare books, photographs, and artifacts in an upstairs storage room within the museum. It is located at 508 N. Peters Ave., in Norman, Oklahoma.</p><br>
<p>The Bevier House is located on Bevier Road in Gardiner, New York, United States. It is a frame house built in the mid-19th century.</p><br>
<p>It is one of the few remaining intact farmhouses in Gardiner from before the Civil War, with a decorative front facade and marbleized main staircase. In 1983 it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>Property</h2><br>
<p>The house is located on a 42.6 acre farmstead on the south side of Bevier Road a short distance from Albany Post Road (Ulster County Route 9), just across from the Shawangunk Kill near where it drains into the Wallkill River. The farmstead property is mostly open, with outbuildings to the south and west. The land alongside the Shawangunk is wooded.</p><br>
<p>Structurally the house is a two-story five-by-three-bay frame building sided in clapboard with a gabled metal roof pierced by brick chimneys at the east and west ends. Two wings, one single-story and the other two, project from the south (rear) elevation. A porch with a flat metal roof runs across the middle three bays of the north facade.</p><br>
<p>The roofline has overhanging eaves supported by paired brackets with acorn pendants over a plain frieze. The porch roof has smaller, similar paired brackets, with its roof supported by square pillars with pilasters. Decorative arches and diamond pendants run between them. The windows have plain surrounds with flat shutters and drip-mold friezes.</p><br>
<p>A pilastered and recessed double-paneled glazed doorway in the center of the first floor leads to the central hall. The stairway is marbleized. The basement has exposed hewn ceiling beams with a pulley for the butter churn once there. The attic&#39;s mortise and tenon framing is set at a wide angle and pegged without a ridge beam, a common practice in the middle of the 19th century. The two-story kitchen wing on the east has an early 20th-century kitchen on its second floor, with dry sink, hand pump and coal stove.</p><br>
<p>Outbuildings start with a single-story gabled barn to the south with a shed addition on its west. A gabled privy is adjacent. To the northwest, just off the road, is a gabled barn with a saltbox roof becoming part of the gabled extension on the northeast. All are considered contributing properties to the National Register listing.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In 1853, Abraham Bevier bought property described as being southwest of the Shawangunk Kill, with tenements, from Levi van Keuren. He is described as the owner on an atlas published that year and again in 1858, suggesting the house had been built a few years prior, just around 1850. The two south wings, the most significant changes to it, were added around 1917. It has remained a private residence ever since, although the accompanying farm property has been subdivided to the current parcel.</p><br>

<p>The Old Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco Building, now known as the Bently Reserve, was the main headquarters building of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco for nearly sixty years. The building is located at 400 Sansome Street, in the Financial District of San Francisco. Designed by George W. Kelham, the building has an Ionic colonnade that is pure Beaux-Arts, while the upper building is in the new Moderne fashion of 1924. The banking lobby at the Sansome Street entrance contains a mural by Jules Guerin, the artist who created the palette for the 1915 Panama–Pacific International Exposition. The Old Federal Reserve was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.</p><br>
<p>In 1983, the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco relocated to larger facilities at 101 Market Street, and the 400 Sansome Street location was sold to private developers who rented out the space. Prominent law firm Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe was headquartered in the building until 2002, when the firm moved out of the space. The building is currently owned by private developers Bently Holdings, who currently rent the upper floors as office space. The Banking Hall and board rooms are booked for fundraisers, events, meetings, and conferences.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<h3>Construction</h3><br>
<p>The San Francisco Federal Reserve Bank opened for business in rented quarters at the rear of the Merchants National Bank on November 16, 1914, in order to meet the provisions of the Federal Reserve Act. This location was to be a temporary one, until a Federal Reserve building could be completed.</p><br>
<p>In the spring of 1918 a building site bounded by Sacramento, Sansome, Battery, and Commercial streets was purchased for the Federal Reserve&#39;s future home; the lot measured 119.5 by. George Kelham, who had been the chief architect for the 1915 Panama-Pacific International Exposition, was a prominent San Francisco architect who led the conservative wing of the San Francisco architectural establishment, was chosen to design the building. In 1919 construction was slated to begin, but delayed due to a shortage of labor and materials; however, the need for additional facilities had become so pressing that construction began in early 1920. The building was completed in 1924.</p><br>
<h3>Relocation of the Federal Reserve</h3><br>
<p>In 1983 the Federal Reserve Bank relocated to larger facilities at 101 Market Street, and the 400 Sansome Street location was sold to private developers.</p><br>
<p>John J. Balles, then the President of the San Francisco Federal Reserve, cited the need to consolidate departments as a reason for the move. In a press release, he said that "when the San Francisco Federal Bank opened for business in 1914, we had a staff of 21 people. Today, we have approximately 1,000 employees in San Francisco alone. They have spilled over into other downtown buildings from our main building at 400 Sansome, which we have occupied for more than half a century."</p><br>
<h3>Private ownership</h3><br>
<p>After the Federal Reserve relocated, the 400 Sansome Street location was sold to private developers, and leased as office space until 1998, when Boston Properties purchased the building and began renting the Banking Hall for private events in addition to the office space. In 2004, the law firm Orrick, Herrington, & Sutcliffe moved out of the building, leaving it essentially vacant until Bently Holdings purchased it from Boston Properties in April 2005 for 46.8 million dollars.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The Federal Reserve Bank Building is significant as the first structure built for the Federal Reserve System in San Francisco, and representative of the Federal Governments association with monumental architecture at the beginning of the 20th century. It currently stands as an intact contributor to San Franciscos important collection of classically designed banking halls, as well as an expression of the ideals of the Panama-Pacific International Exposition of 1915. The building, with its row of free-standing eagles perched above the large entablature particularly expresses the federal presence.</p><br>
<p>The building has an Ionic colonnade that is pure Beaux-Arts, while the upper levels are in the new Moderne fashion of 1924. Inside, the Banking Hall was designed in a Temple style, and featured murals by Jules Guerin, who created the palette for the 1915 Panama-Pacific International Exhibition.</p><br>
<p>The foundation of the original building was designed to support an additional fourteen stories of offices.</p><br>
<h2>Art</h2><br>
<p>In an article for the San Francisco Examiner, Kelham outlined his views on the future of architecture, writing that "the influence of the Exposition&#39;s architecture is going to be felt on the Pacific Coast. Hereafter the clients who contemplate erecting buildings both of a public and private character will bring their architects, sculptors and decorators together as a board and leave them free to evolve by their united efforts thoroughly harmonious plans."</p><br>
<p>This collaborative process is dramatized at the Reserve; as the chief architect of the Exposition in 1915, Kelham had worked closely with its colorist, Jules Guérin, who had designed the murals for the Lincoln Memorial. Kelham chose Guerin to paint the mural Traders of the Adriatic that features prominently in the entrance to the main lobby. It is "a richly-colored mural that pays homage to the world of banking with its depiction of Venetian shipping merchants accepting receipts for goods on deposit."</p><br>
<p>Two sculptures by New Realist artist Arman, Dionysus and Hermes were added to the Sansome Street entrance in 1990. Together, these pieces are recognized as a single work by the artist, "Hermes and Dyonisos: Mounument to Analysis."</p><br>
<p>Encircled by a spiral stairway between the LeMeridien San Francisco and the Old Federal Reserve Bank Building on Commercial Street is a bronze sphere with black etchings, an untitled work by German artist Fritz Koenig. The work is similar in spirit to the artist&#39;s sculpture, The Sphere, at the World Trade Center. It is listed in the Smithsonian Art Inventories Catalog.</p><br>
<h2>Restoration and LEED-CS certification</h2><br>
<p>Boston Properties, according to their 2004 SEC filing, posted only a.8 percent occupancy rate for this 150,000 ft&sup2; structure. After purchasing the Old Federal Reserve, Bently Holdings began a major renovation of the building&#39;s interior in order to make it more appealing to tenants.</p><br>
<p>Special attention was paid to preserving the original Beaux-Arts style of the building, while applying modern technologies and sustainable design. New flooring was selected from renewable resources, and artificial lighting was designed to interact with natural sources. A daylight harvesting system was installed, and a Central Building Automation and Control Network was installed to monitor occupancy and vacancy status and adjust HVAC and lighting systems to conserve energy. In total, these control systems save the building 66% in lighting energy costs annually. The Bently Reserve&#39;s multiple-pane windows have been part of the building since its construction in 1924, and allow abundant daylight into each room, another feature the lighting system capitalizes upon.</p><br>
<p>Spaces such as the Banking Hall were also restored to reflect modern technology and accentuate the building&#39;s history. The chandeliers (designed by the architect himself) were meticulously restored, while at the same time state-of-the-art lighting was added to conserve energy. Hand-painted travertine walls were restored to their original state, and the Italian marble floors, doric columns, and grand staircase were reconditioned. The mural by Jules Guerin was also cleaned and preserved.</p><br>
<p>This renovation was carefully overseen by Bently Holdings, and managed by BCCI Builders. The Bently Reserve received silver certification in the National Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design Green Building Rating System for Core and Shell Development (LEED Silver CS) in December 2009.</p><br>
<h2>The Bently Reserve today</h2><br>
<p>Currently, the building&#39;s upper floors are leased to notable tenants such as Smith Group, the Bar Association of San Francisco, and the Energy Foundation. Since purchasing the building in 2005, Bently Holdings owner Christopher Bently has cultivated a green environment by requiring all new tenants to design their office space at a minimum of LEED Silver Certified. One of these tenants, the Energy Foundation, became the first commercial space in San Francisco — and one of only thirteen worldwide — to receive LEED-CI Platinum Certification from the US Green Building Council.</p><br>
<p>Other technologies such as high-definition audio, on-demand video capture, digital videoconferencing, and high-speed Wi-Fi are available throughout the Bently Reserve. A highly secure fiber optic network is routed throughout the building for a completely segregated and secure network for both tenants and events.</p><br>
<p>The lower floors of the Bently Reserve are still rented for special events, business meetings, and conferences. These spaces are branded as one of San Francisco&#39;s green special event venues, featuring a preferred list of eco-friendly third party vendors and caterers.</p><br>
<p>Two ships, the Apollo storeship and the Niantic storeship, that were scuttled during the California Gold Rush, still lie beneath the foundations of the Reserve. Two of the building&#39;s meeting rooms are named after these vessels.</p><br>
<p>Hearthstone Castle in Danbury, Connecticut, was built between 1895 and 1899. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987. It has also been known as Parks&#39; Castle and as The Castle. The property includes four contributing buildings and three other contributing structures. Today, the castle is owned by the City of Danbury and is located in Tarrywile Park. Hearthstone Castle is slated to be renovated into an observation deck.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>First known as "Sanford Castle", Hearthstone was designed by architect Ernest G. W. Dietrich for its first owner, E. Starr Sanford, a noted portrait photographer. The castle was intended to be a honeymoon "cottage" for Sanfords wife. Sanford and his family owned the castle for only five years before selling it in 1902 to Victor Buck, a retired New York industrialist. When the Buck family moved in, they renamed the castle "Bucks Castle." In 1910, Charles Darling Parks bought the neighboring Tarrywile Mansion from Dr. William C. Wiles. Later, in 1918, C. D. Parks then bought "Buck&#39;s Castle" for his oldest daughter, Irene Parks, as a wedding gift. During this time the castle was renamed "Hearthstone Castle." The name was possibly changed to this due to the eight fireplaces, which were all made out of stone, as was the rest of the castle.</p><br>
<p>All the rock that was used to build the castle was quarried on site, and transported the short distance across the property on a small railroad, which was built solely for this purpose. All the woodwork throughout the building of the castle was brought in from Italy. All the wrought iron chandeliers, lamps, and wall sconces were made in Danbury by Cephas B. Rogers Co.</p><br>
<p>Irene Parks Jennings occupied the castle until her death in 1982. The last residents of the castle were her heirs, Richard and Constance Jennings. The Jenningses lived there from 1983 until March 1987, when the entire Tarrywile Estate was sold to the town of Danbury. Hearthstone Castle was declared a National Historic Place that same year.</p><br>
<p>The castle was not well maintained under Danbury&#39;s ownership, and the roof has since collapsed. In 2004, Tarrywile Park Authority and The City of Danbury approved two options for renovating the castle.</p><br>
<p>The first option involves developing the Castle into a three-season pavilion and observation tower. The plan includes stabilization and limited renovation of the castle to provide a kitchen facility for picnics, seating areas for picnics, creation of an observation tower to take advantage of the views afforded by the site and establishment of an educational area, historical exhibits and tourist information center. Efforts would include restoration of the historic landscape and garden design as well as expansion of the site&#39;s hiking and passive recreation facilities.</p><br>
<p>The second option includes the complete restoration of the castle and development of a fully functioning building with lodge areas, restaurant, museum, conference rooms, classrooms, wellness center, information desk, staff residence and gift shop. Restoration of the original gardens and expansion of the hiking trail system would also be undertaken. The restored castle and grounds would provide a major attraction and gathering place for the city, rescue a structure on the National Register of Historic Places and provide an ongoing source of operating income to the Tarrywile Park Authority.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The eminence upon which Hearthstone Castle is built is approximately 650 feet above sea level and commands panoramic views to the north and east. A pair of large granite gateposts with globe finials stand at the entrance to the property, on the east side of largely rural and undeveloped Brushy Hill Road. A steep 800-foot-long gravel driveway ascends to the buildings, which cannot be seen from the road.</p><br>
<p>The windows on the lower two stories are trabeated, with granite slab lintels and sills, while the third story is lighted by pointed and round arched two over two windows. Fenestration is irregular, with large triple windows in the south and east elevations on the first and second stories and in the second story of the north facade. On the east and west elevations, other windows are narrow but irregular in size, and are placed diagonally to light interior staircases. There is a slit-like window in the south elevation, and in the west elevation a narrow window with bulls eye art glass. The rear of the building is a two-story, flat-roofed kitchen wing, 18 x 23&#39;, which contains a rear entry.</p><br>
<p>The front entry is trabeated with a granite lintel and features a double-leaf, semi-glazed door with carved Gothic tracery and sidelights which opens onto an entry hall. The hall features paneled wainscoting, cased and studded beams carried on consoles with carved scrolls, and a fireplace with a denticulated and modillioned mantelpiece carried on consoles carved in the shape of lions, all in oak. To the east of the entry hall is the music room, which has molded door and window surrounds and a peach colored marble Neo-Classical fireplace with cable molding, a central carved scallop, and a denticulated mantelpiece carried on consoles. The music room opens onto the dining room to the south. The dining room features cased beams, molded door and window surrounds, paneled doors, and vertical wainscoting, all in pine. The room is lighted by a large triple window in the south elevation. It has a Georgian fireplace of green glazed brick, with a central panel with dentils and modillions. To the west of the dining room is the library, with oak door and window surrounds and a red brick fireplace with a denticulated mantel with a diamond motif. To the rear is the kitchen.</p><br>
<p>A grand staircase ascends from the entry hall to the second story. It is paneled in oak and edged with bead-and-reel molding. Its first landing is lighted by a large triple window set in the curving wall of the west tower. In the upper panes of the window are stained glass panels which depict the Sanford coat-of-arms. Facing the second floor landing is a full-length fireplace of dark green glazed brick, rimmed with studded iron bands and with bead-and-reel and egg-and-dart moldings at the ceiling. In the chimney breast is a niche, also rimmed with studded iron bands, and the lining of the fireplace is cast iron in a pattern of interwoven bands. All of the doors on the second floor are paneled, and the entry to the hallway is arched. There is a second library with fireplace with oak surround and five bedrooms on the floor, including the large master bedroom in the curving north tower. The five servants&#39; bedrooms on the third floor are unornamented.</p><br>
<p>The outbuildings are located on a slight rise to the south of the castle. They include the one-story, four-room, hip-roofed caretaker&#39;s cottage; a hip-roofed carriage house; a hip-roofed water tower; a woodshed, pump-house, and barn, all clad in wood shingles.</p><br>
<p>Today the castle lies in ruin. The wooden interior structure, including the multiple floors, have collapsed, leaving the castle in complete disrepair. It has been fenced off to the public.</p><br>
<h2>Significance</h2><br>
<p>Hearthstone Castle is significant as late nineteenth-century country estate centered on an architects interpretation of a medieval castle. Hearthstone Castle and its related Shingle-style outbuildings, which include a caretakers cottage, carriage house, water tower, pump-house and sheds, were constructed as a summer estate between 1895 and 1899 for Elias Starr Sanford and his wife, Emma. Sanford, a Danbury native, achieved success and a national reputation as a society portrait photographer in New York City as a partner in the firm of Davis & Sanford. Following the dissolution of the firm in the early twentieth century, Sanford conducted studios in New Haven, Atlantic City, Philadelphia, Greenwich and Texas. In 1895, at the height of his success, Sanford purchased eighteen acres of woodland at "Mountain End," a rocky promontory that overlooks the southern part of the city of Danbury. Two acres were cleared, but the property was left ungraded except in the immediate vicinity of the building. Construction of the castle commenced in the fall of 1895 and was completed in June 1899. Stone for the castle was quarried on the property and at Collins quarry to the south on Brushy Hill Road, and was transported to the construction site by means of a narrow-gauge railroad.</p><br>
<p>The castles architect was Ernest G. W. Dietrich of New York. A Danbury Evening News article of October 7, 1895, outlines his initial plan for the castle as a seventeen-room, 80 ft × 100 ft building, with its upper story of wood. The same article mentions a 38 ft × 48 ft barn to be constructed with architectural features "corresponding to those of the house," and makes no mention of any other outbuildings. That plans were changed during the course of construction is confirmed by the building of the second story of the castle in stone, with a memorial stone bearing the date "1897" set in the middle of the west elevation, and by the fact that the dimensions of both the castle and the present carriage house are smaller than those stated in the article. A mechanics lien filed in the Danbury land records by Charles Crossley, a local architect and builder, cites "services rendered" between May, 1897, and June, 1899. However, there is insufficient evidence to conclude that Crossley or a second architect contributed to the castle&#39;s design. Moreover, Dietrich is known to have worked in the Shingle style of the outbuildings, and is noted for his residential architecture. Among his commissions is the Luther Turner House at 213 Migeon Avenue in Torrington.</p><br>
<p>Liens remained on the property until the Sanfords sold it in 1902 to Victor Buck, a retired New York businessman. Mrs. Sanford is reported to have disliked the castle, The Bucks used it as a summer residence until 1923, which it was sold again to Charles Darling Parks. Parks, president of the American Hatters and Furriers Co. and owner of the Tarrywile estate directly to the west of Hearthstone on Brushy Hill Road, is said to have purchased it for his daughter, Irene Parks Jennings Rathmell. Mrs. Rathmell occupied the castle until her death in 1976.</p><br>
<p>Hearthstone Castle is significant not only for its design, which anticipates the Gillette Castle built in Hadlyme by William Gillette by almost two decades, but for its fine construction and its exceptional preservation as an estate, with all of its major outbuildings intact. It reflects a nineteenth-century taste among newly rich Americans for palatial country residences, as well, as a late Romantic taste for rusticity and exoticism. The estates grounds were left largely in their natural state, and the castle it-self is referred to in the deed from the Sanfords to the Bucks as "the Lodge." The rough quality of the castles fieldstone exterior and the wood-shingled walls of the outbuildings reinforce this emphasis on natural textures and on a harmonious relationship with the wooded, mountaintop site. The spacious, open veranda, from which towns far -to the north could be sighted, provided a setting as well for summer parties.</p><br>
<p>The castle incorporates elements from diverse periods in castle architecture. Its rectangular shape and D-ended towers strongly resemble the early Norman "great tower" castles of Chepstow and Colchester, both of which date from the late eleventh century. The use of corbelled bartizans was common to Scottish castles of the twelfth century. The arched openings of the porte-cochere and the windows appear primitive in part because of their construction, but they also vary in shape from distinctly pointed to distinctly round. The fenestration as a whole represents a compromise between authenticity and modernity. A few narrow medieval-style window slits are irregularly placed diagonally across the west elevation, but large Chicago-style triple windows prevail, and a bull&#39;s eye art glass window is even featured in one of the slits.</p><br>
<p>The interior also represents a compromise between the medieval theme and the nineteenth century. A medieval feeling is carried out fully in the entry hall and grand staircase, but the fireplace and paneled wall treatment are essentially Elizabethan. The rooms receive individual treatments which reach to a Georgian feeling in the dining room, and a restrained Classicism in the music room.</p><br>
<p>Hicklin Hearthstone is a historic home located near Lexington, Lafayette County, Missouri. It was built about 1838, and is a two-story, central passage plan, Greek Revival style brick I-house. It has a two-story rear ell and features a one bay wide two story pedimented portico. Also on the property are the contributing five unit dependencies, a two-cell Overseers cabin , a chicken coop, a smoke house, and a carriage house. The large transverse barn, situated in front of the house, a brick root cellar house, and an out house no longer exist. The brick dependencies include a Store House, a Carpenters quarters, a Wash House, a Servants quarters and a large summer kitchen. The frame slave quarters housed the field hands. These quarters were numerous and scattered on the property, and no longer exist. James Hicklin, one of Lexingtons earliest settlers , was a surveyor of roads and plats, settling Lexington with his parents in 1819. He was a skilled farmer as well a skilled entrepreneur. Per the NRHP, There is strong evidenced that he amassed his fortune through slave trading, the index of that is the decline of his fortune post the Civil War. Per Ancestry and the 1850 and 1860 Slave Schedules, Hicklin owned 33 slaves in 1850 and 19 slaves in 1860, their ages ranging from 1-50. Several of the enslaved workers stayed after they were freed in January, 1865, and took the name Hicklin as their own. This was not the case for all of the people enslaved by James Hicklin. Per NRHP, One of his workers was branded a fugitive, while another fractured Hicklin&#39;s skull in 1853, which would imply reason to doubt any supposed charity or benevolent nature of James Hicklin . He passed in 1875.</p><br>
<p>Per a 1912 article written at the time of Young Hicklin&#39;s death, the family hired a carpenter from Virginia who lived on the property for three years. Construction of the home began in 1836 and the home was completed five (5) years later, in 1841. The Hicklin home is a well-preserved combination of stylistic influences – the Greek Revival style and traditional vernacular form, an antebellum Southern plantation home. The house was one of many elegant mansions that were to be built along the Dover Road during the 1830s – 1850s, as hemp plantations were established to meet the growing need for rope. Not only was this house one of the earliest, but also one of the finest. To this day, it remains one of the most interesting and impressive antebellum country houses in Western Missouri, as well as suspected breeding plantation. One of the most striking features of the original portico were two great porch pillars, one of solid walnut and one of a white oak. They were cut from two great trees and smoothed with drawn knife and broad-axe.</p><br>
<p>Hicklin Hearthstone is a very traditional southern type; two full stories tall, its high-ceilinged rooms divided are by a Georgian central hallway. The primary façade of the Hicklin home is dominated by a one bay wide, two story portico with doors surrounded by sidelights and a rectangular transom. At the eave line is an elaborate carved Doric frieze, identical to that on Thomas Jeffersons Monticello. Along with sharing architectural styles with Thomas Jefferson, Hicklin Hearthstone shares in some of the presidents practices, specifically slavery. There are only four large rooms in the home, a west and an east parlor and two bedrooms. The stairwell in the hall has an intricately scrolled banister. The wide panel doors of walnut feature the original locks with 5” long keys and small brass door knobs. The floors in many of the rooms are the original wide planks of heart pine. The built-in hat and gun racks in the downstairs hall and west parlor are unique. Upstairs in the girls room, four hand wrought hooks are in the ceiling; from these, a quilting frame would be suspended for quilting.</p><br>
<p>Each room has an ornate mantel of a different style. On the side of each mantel are floor to ceiling linen presses, where linens would be folded and pressed by the heat of the wood burning fireplaces. Interior walls measure 10” thick and exterior walls measure 13” thick. Ceilings are twelve feet high and follow the style of the Old South. The windows on the house were originally nine over six pane windows. Although it has an impressive façade, the house was relatively modest, originally having only four rooms and a detached two story summer kitchen. The cook and her partner lived above the kitchen in a private room. When built, the kitchen was separated from the main house by a breezeway, through which carriages and wagons would pass. When the breezeway was enclosed in the early 1900s, it created a dining room on the first floor and a bedroom on the second floor.</p><br>
<p>Per the State of Missouri, the architectural naivety evident in Hicklin Hearthstone is a typical expression of the transplantation of culture into a frontier environment and its appearance is an important benchmark of the development of agriculture and society in western Missouri. The Hearthstone is not only unusual for its excellent state of preservation, but also for the collection of out buildings that still reside on the property. One of the According to the State of Missouri, who assisted the family list the home on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982, this collection of outbuildings are by far the most extensive such structures currently in existence in the state of Missouri.</p><br>
<p>The family burial plot lies to the west of the house in fields under cultivation, the centerpiece a domed limestone mausoleum; its limestone was hauled from Warrensburg. James and his third wife were buried there, and his other wives, their children and slaves (unmarked) were buried in the ground surrounding the mausoleum. Another dramatic structure, the Hicklin School, is a few hundred yards to the east of the house. Two generations of Hicklin children attended school there. Unfortunately, the large transverse barn, which was older than the house, no longer exists; it was sited in full view of the house north of US 24. The root cellar, previously located in front of the house near the well, was dismantled in the 1980s. A two-hole privy/outhouse was situated beside the meat house and also no longer exists.</p><br>
<p>Alma Davis Hicklin, who named the home "Hicklin Hearthstone" in the 1930s, worked diligently to preserve the home during her husband Johns prolonged battle with Parkinsons, and after his untimely death in 1951. She said that during the years of the Great Depression, it was doubtful whether or not they could keep the home. The family made it through because, as she said, “where there is a will, there is a way.” She lived in the home for over seventy years. In the early 1990s, her son, John Jr. and his wife renovated the house, including the addition of a brick two bay garage, removal of the private stairwell in the west parlor, renovation of the sun porch, installation of central heat and air, tuckpointing of the exterior brick, a new roof, and boxed two story columns. Two small bathrooms were added upstairs and the well house in front of the home was rebuilt. In 2018 to present, a member of the fifth generation has restored the dependencies and the carriage house; work continues.</p><br>
<p>The Lock Tender&#39;s House and Canal Store Ruin is located on Canal Road in High Falls, New York, United States. It is a complex along the former route of the Delaware and Hudson Canal built in the middle of the 19th century.</p><br>
<p>The Lock Tenders House is one of the few surviving such structures along the length of the canal in New York or Pennsylvania. The store ruins are also one of the few remnants of the canals ancillary buildings. Both can be seen from a nearby public trail along the canal bed. In 1998 the property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>Property</h2><br>
<p>The house and ruin are located on a wooded half-acre lot on the north side of Canal 0.1 mile (150 m) west of Mohonk Road (Ulster County Route 6A), a short distance south of downtown High Falls. The property slopes down from the road slightly towards the dry bed of the former canal, a National Historic Landmark for its entire length. It is extensively landscaped, with mowed lawns, terraced gardens and 25 mature black locust trees.</p><br>
<p>Some canal facilities remain, including two snubbing posts used to tie up barges in the lock that are considered contributing resources to the National Register listing. The publicly owned Five Locks Walk runs along the other side of the canal, allowing a view of the property. West of the canal bed and walk the area remains wooded and undeveloped. There is another house, and the High Falls firehouse, a short distance down Canal on the same side; across it are woodlots buffering a field.</p><br>
<h3>House</h3><br>
<p>The house itself is set 15 ft back from the road. It is a small two-story two-by-two-bay frame structure on a stone foundation with a gabled roof shingled in asphalt. Aluminum siding covers the original clapboard on the exterior. On the west (front) elevation is an enclosed porch with concrete deck. A screened shed-roofed porch is on the west side with a hip-roofed bay window on the east. On the south is a bulkhead entrance to the cellar with unpainted board-and-batten doors.</p><br>
<p>Inside the main entrance, a paired Dutch door with original hardware, is a large main room with a smaller kitchen and dining room. The main room has beaded chair rail and baseboard and windows with original camlocks. Two original paneled doors with thumb latches lead into the other rooms. All are finished with the original 7 to 9 in tongue and groove pine flooring and wall and ceiling plaster. The dining room floor has a tin strip patch.</p><br>
<p>An original wooden stair along the east leads to the upstairs. It has a similar plan, with a large master bedroom complemented by two smaller chambers. As with the first floor, much of the trim is original, with pine flooring and plaster walls throughout and chair rail in the master bedroom. The bedroom doors have original hardware; antique locks were added to the bathroom and closet doors. The original chimney, cut off at the roof line, is also visible on this floor. A small wood hatch leads to the attic, where the sawn rafters of the roof have skip sheathing and no ridge pole.</p><br>
<p>From the first floor, the same stairs lead down to the basement. It has a concrete floor and single pane windows on the north and south. A mortise and tenon frame surrounds a board-and-batten door to the stone steps that lead to the outside bulkhead entrance.</p><br>
<h3>Store ruin</h3><br>
<p>The stone foundation for the canal-operated general store building is to the west of the house and downhill, at the northwest corner of the property. It is 33 by, made of stone walls two feet (61 cm) thick. Two window openings face the canal, with bluestone sills still in place. There are remains of sand mold bricks and brick walls along two sides along with some of the original lintels in the debris. Directly across the canal bed is the stone foundation of the store&#39;s former warehouse.</p><br>
<p>The site has a partial brick floor. It is currently used by the owners as a freestanding patio, with a small set of furnishings.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In 1828, the year of the canal&#39;s opening, local landowner Simeon DePuy (owner of the nearby stone house now used as a restaurant), granted the 93 acre including the grounds of the future house to his daughter Maria Dewitt. Twenty years later, she sold 21.5 of those acres (8.6 ha) to her sister, Sarah Robinson, and her husband Abraham, for $2,250 ($ in contemporary dollars). As part of the same transaction, 5.3 acre were sold to the Delaware and Hudson Canal Company for an ongoing expansion of the canal to accommodate larger barges and compete more effectively with railroads, which had not existed when the canal was built to ship anthracite coal from the mines of Northeastern Pennsylvania to New York City via the Hudson River at what is now Kingston.</p><br>
<p>This expansion of capacity required an extensive rerouting at High Falls, taking the canal directly up the slope south of the hamlet. Six new locks, Nos. 15–20, would be necessary to take it up 70 vertical feet (21.3 m) in a quarter-mile (400 m). The small parcel was necessary to build and expand the canal. The company had an easement allowing unlimited access to the property during the construction, and also permitting it to dispose of debris and waste from that work on neighboring properties. A line of leftover scree from that time remains along the canal bed near the house and ruin today.</p><br>
<p>Once the expansion was finished, the land was deeded back to the Robinsons with the exception of the new canal alignment, its towpath (part of which is today the Five Locks Walk) and a half-acre meant to be used as housing for the lock tender. It first appears on the local tax rolls as a "lock house" in 1849, suggesting it was complete and occupied by then.</p><br>
<p>The lock tender&#39;s job was to take barges through the locks and maintain their water level. His salary, based on an 1880 census form, was $576 ($ in contemporary dollars) Since the former could take a long time, and barges could come through as early as 5 a.m. and as late as 10 p.m., two years after the house was built a general store and warehouse were constructed on either side of the canal, allowing barge crews to stock up on provisions for the remainder of a journey that often took two weeks.</p><br>
<p>Sarah Robinson sold her property, which included the warehouse and store, to her sons in 1853. They in turn sold it to Jacob Hasbrouck two years later, and then in 1860 he sold it to Charles Hardenbergh, a farmer and merchant who lived in another nearby Canal Road house. He remained the owner and operator of the store until 1892.</p><br>
<p>At the end of the 19th century, the canal, by then a relic of an earlier, pre-industrial age, ceased operations. At that time Esther van Wagenen, an heiress of the Robinsons, bought the half-acre with the lock tender&#39;s cottage. Ten years later, her sister Mary inherited the house. She added the bay window to the dining room during the 1920s, and bequeathed the property upon her death in 1936 to another family member, Cynthia van Wagenen. She bought the store property in 1943, bringing the lot to its present size.</p><br>
<p>Cynthia van Wagenen installed modern forced-air heating in the house in the 1950s, but did not add modern plumbing. After her death in 1961, the house was used as a rental property by her estate for several years and then sold. Subsequent owners drilled a well and added indoor plumbing. One, an avid lock collector, added several period locks to the doors upstairs.</p><br>
<p>The house and ruin, still privately owned, have remained part of the historical attraction of the nearby Five Locks Walk, which follows the towpath. An estimated 4,000 people see it annually. It features on the walking tour of High Falls sponsored by the nearby Delaware and Hudson Canal Museum.</p><br>
<p>The Bacon Hotel, also known as the Sunrise Hotel, is a historic hotel building at the southeast corner of Railroad and Homestead Roads in Whitehall, Arkansas. It is a two-story wood-frame structure, with a cross-gable roof and a two-story porch extending across its front. The porch is supported by spindled wooden posts, and the front gable end features a large carved sunburst design. There are four guest rooms on each floor; those on the second level are accessed via outside stairs. The hotel was built in 1912, during the areas timber boom, and is one of the few surviving reminders of that period. It is also one of the states finer railroad-era Folk Victorian hotels.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1995, at which time it had been reported to be functionally vacant since the 1950s.</p><br>
<p>The Briceville Community Church is a nondenominational church located in Briceville, Tennessee, United States. Built in 1887, the church served as a center of social life and community affairs for the Coal Creek Valley during the valley&#39;s coal mining boom period in the late-19th and early-20th centuries. In 2003, the church was added to the National Register of Historic Places for its historical role and as an example of rural Gothic Revival architecture.</p><br>
<p>Mining companies identified the coal resources of the Coal Creek Valley in the late 1860s, and by the 1880s a half-dozen mines were in operation throughout the valley. A railroad spur line was completed up the valley to Briceville in 1888, the year after the completion of the Briceville Community Church. The church was used as a temporary jail for prisoners in the aftermath of the Coal Creek War, a labor uprising that began with the seizure of a convict stockade in Briceville in 1891. In the following decade, the church hosted memorial services for the Fraterville Mine disaster of 1902 and the Cross Mountain Mine disaster of 1911, and victims of both disasters are buried in the church&#39;s cemetery. The church housed a Methodist congregation until 1995, and today is still used for various community events.</p><br>
<h2>Location</h2><br>
<p>The Briceville Community Church is located on a hill at the southern tip of "Root Hog Ridge," a flank of Vowell Mountain, and is situated near the center of Briceville. This hill rises approximately 20 ft above the surrounding terrain, allowing the church to be visible from almost anywhere in the community. The church stands at the edge of the hill, and the cemetery stretches northward from the rear corner of the church up the hillslope, with several gravestones straddling the treeline along the property&#39;s boundaries. State Highway 116 passes along the base of the hill.</p><br>
<p>The Briceville community is located at the upper end of the Coal Creek Valley, a narrow valley that slices between Walden Ridge and the rugged areas of the Cumberland Mountains.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The completion of a railroad line from Knoxville to Coal Creek (modern Rocky Top) in the late 1860s brought about a mining boom in the Coal Creek Valley. In 1888, at the urging of Ohio Senator Calvin Brice, a spur line was built up the valley to Slatestone Hollow, and thus the Slatestone community was renamed "Briceville." The Briceville Community Church was built by volunteers in 1887 on land donated by John Moore. The church was initially nondenominational, but by 1896 had become a Methodist church after Briceville&#39;s Baptist and Presbyterian communities grew large enough to build their own churches.</p><br>
<p>Historian Karin Shapiro credits institutions such as churches for creating a sense of local unity that contributed to the Coal Creek War, a labor uprising that erupted in 1891 over the Tennessee Coal Mining Companys decision to use convict labor to break a strike at its Briceville mine. The conflict began on July 14 of that year, when several armed miners surrounded the companys stockade in Briceville and marched the companys convict laborers out of the valley. Briceville remained at the center of the uprising until it was finally crushed by the Tennessee state militia in August 1892. The Briceville Community Church was used as a temporary jail to hold dozens of miners arrested by the militia in the conflicts aftermath.</p><br>
<p>On June 8, 1902, memorial services led by local doctor and pastor E. S. Dickson were held at the Briceville Community Church for victims of the Fraterville Mine disaster, a mine explosion that killed 216 miners at the Fraterville Mine just north of Briceville. Another mine disaster took place at the Cross Mountain Mine about a mile west of the church on December 9, 1911, killing 84 miners. Many of the victims of this explosion were buried in a circular formation known as the Cross Mountain Miners&#39; Circle on the slopes of Walden Ridge, although several were buried in the Briceville Community Church Cemetery, among them Eugene Ault (1889&ndash;1911), whose monument is inscribed with the "farewell message" Ault had written on a wall of the mine as he lay dying.</p><br>
<p>After World War II, mining companies gradually moved out of Briceville as the nationwide demand for coal plummeted, and membership at the Briceville Community Church began to drop. Between 1947 and 1965, the churchs pastor, Ralph Cline, and church member Anna Mae Evans initiated a number of programs that helped make the community more involved with the church. These included summer Bible school classes, a community Thanksgiving service, and an annual New Years Eve service that ended with the churchs bell being tolled at midnight. It was also under Clines leadership that a fellowship hall was built in the church&#39;s basement. Regular Methodist services continued at the church until June 1995, when the Methodist Church transferred the building to two local trustees. The church is still used for community events such as weddings and funerals, and serves as an evacuation place for Briceville Elementary School (located across the street) in case of emergencies.</p><br>
<h2>Design</h2><br>
<p>The Briceville Community Church has painted weatherboard walls, a basement and a gabled roof. The building would be a simple vernacular structure but for the two Gothic Revival-style towers connected at oblique angles to the corners of the facade. Although both towers have louvered belfries and pyramid roofs, the east tower is taller than the west tower, and has a slightly different design. The east tower also contains the church&#39;s bell, which was cast in 1919. A brick chimney behind the west tower was added in the 1950s.</p><br>
<p>Doors at the base of both towers provide entrances to the churchs sanctuary. The sanctuary has a carpeted wooden floor and oak pews (installed in the 1950s), and has a pulpit with wooden paneling. A set of wooden stairs accesses the churchs basement, which contains a fellowship hall and Sunday school classrooms built in the 1950s.</p><br>
<p>The churchs cemetery, which is a contributing site in the churchs National Register listing, covers just under an acre on the west and north sides of the church. The cemetery&#39;s oldest marker is that of Henry Mears, who died on March 31, 1891. Most of the markers have an east-west orientation, and are typically commercial slabs or obelisks. Symbolic carvings include Victorian-era symbols such as opened Bibles, praying hands, stars, and doves, as well as symbols for groups such as the Independent Order of Odd Fellows and the Freemasons.</p><br>
<p>Old Madison County Courthouse is a historic courthouse and institutional building located at Morrisville in Madison County, New York, United States. It is a detached, two-story rectangular frame building measuring 42 feet by 88 feet with a full basement. It was built in 1865 and expanded to its present size in 1877. In 1910, the building was acquired by the State of New York for classroom space for the agricultural college established at Morrisville. It was renamed Madison Hall and used for classrooms, offices, laboratories, the gymnasium, and assembly hall until 1975.</p><br>
<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.</p><br>
<p>First National Bank of Morrisville, also known as First Trust & Deposit Co. or Key Bank, is a historic bank building located at Morrisville in Madison County, New York. It was built in 1864 and expanded in the 1890s, 1920s, and 1950s. It is a single-story brick building that features a finely detailed tetrastyle, Corinthian order portico.</p><br>
<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.</p><br>
<p>Morrisville Public Library is a historic library building located at Morrisville in Madison County, New York. It was built about 1850 and is a -story frame picturesque cottage with Gothic Revival–style detailing. It became a library in December 1903 with 760 volumes on its shelves. It was given by Susanna Phelps Gage who wanted to give her family home to the village for something meaningful when her parents Henry and Mary Phelps died.</p><br>
<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2005.</p><br>
<p>Lehigh Valley Railroad Depot is a historic railroad depot building located at Cazenovia in Madison County, New York. It was built in 1894 as a depot for the Elmira, Cortland and Northern Railroad, later the Lehigh Valley Railroad. It is a -story, rectangular, gable-roofed, largely clapboarded structure. It is a distinctive example of the Stick-Eastlake–style architecture. It was abandoned by the railroad in 1965. This was a stop on the Lehigh Valley&#39;s Elmira and Cortland Branch which actually went to Canastota and Camden, on the section between Cortland and Canastota. Service was eliminated by the early 1940s.</p><br>
<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1991.</p><br>
<p>Palacete Los Moreau is a house museum located in Moca, Puerto Rico. Historically known as the Labadie Mansion, the house inspired writer Enrique Laguerre to write La Llamarada.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Built in 1893, it is the only building still standing of an agricultural conglomerate where both coffee and sugar were planted and processed. It belonged to the French family Pellot.</p><br>
<p>The hacienda was sold to Juan Labadié in 1860. At the time of acquisition, the property had an area of 1,300 acres, of which three quarters were planted with coffee. The other quarter was divided between cane, timber and cattle.</p><br>
<p>Juan Labadié lived on the plantation until his death in 1893. His widow, Cornelia Pellot decided to demolish the old house of wood to build a new one made out of concrete.</p><br>
<p>After the Spanish–American War Puerto Rico became a commonwealth of the United States in 1898, the estate became solely a sugar plantation belonging to Central Coloso.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>Plans for the construction of the house started in 1893. The house was designed by Paul Servajean, the administrator of the sugar mill "Central Coloso" in Aguada. Serva conceived the design as a Caribbean adaptation of a Chateau in Châteauesque architecture. The main element of the house is the front porch that is flanked by two towers. One of the towers originally housed the library of the house.</p><br>
<h2>La Llamarada</h2><br>
<p>The house, under the name “Hacienda Palmares de la Familia Moreau”, became immortalized in Puerto Rican literature by "La Llamarada", a novel about the Depression-era sugar cane industry written by Puerto Rican author Enrique Laguerre. He describes the house as it existed during the early 20th century, and the Moreau family are largely based upon the Labadies. Laguerre recognized how the novel transformed the house into a legend, "it&#39;s like when a great man dies, and literature replaced history and the legend begins."</p><br>
<p>In 1993 the municipality of Moca acquired the property and restored the house calling it "El Palacete Los Moreau" in honor of the novel. The estate is open free of charge to the public. In accordance with his wishes, Laguerre&#39;s body was cremated, and his ashes are interred in a small mausoleum on the grounds of the estate.</p><br>
<p>The Lower Commerce Street Historic District is a 45 acre historic district in the old commercial district of Montgomery, Alabama. It includes fifty-two contributing buildings. It is roughly bounded by the Central of Georgia railroad tracks, North Lawrence Street, Madison Avenue, and Commerce Street. Architectural styles in the district include the Italianate, Classical Revival, and Renaissance Revival. It was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on March 29, 1979, the boundaries were subsequently increased on February 25, 1982, and January 15, 1987.</p><br>
<p>The Main Street Historic District in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin is a 2.5 acre historic district that was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on January 11, 2002. The listing was amended in some way in a revised listing on March 5, 2002. In 2002, there were 20 buildings in the district that were deemed to contribute to its historic character.</p><br>
<p>The district consists of most of the buildings in the 700 block of Main Street, and is drawn to exclude non-historic buildings. Contributing buildings include, in order built:</p><br>
<p>The Hanna Block at 711 Main St is a 2-story commercial building built in 1871, in Italianate style, with three second-floor windows framed by brick pilasters and round arches. The Hannas operated a cabinet shop which grew into a furniture store and undertaking business.</p><br>
<p>The Walker Block at 701-709 Main St is a 3-story brick commercial building built in 1872. It initially housed Austin Walkers general store, Fergusons dry goods, and Buhres jewelry store. Upstairs on the third floor was a meeting room called Walkers Hall.</p><br>
<p>The Metropolitan Block at 770 Main St is a 3-story commercial block designed by William Le Baron Jenney of Chicago and built in 1874. Its style is a sophisticated Italianate, with Racine pressed brick of different colors, almost hinting of Neoclassical. The building initially housed H.H. Curtis drug store, a harness shop, a barber shop, a doctors office, the Geneva Herald newspaper, and a 150-seat lecture hall. It was the premier commercial block in Lake Geneva in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.</p><br>
<p>The Wachter and Ford Block, also called the Emporium Block, at 736-738 Main St. is a 2-story brick block constructed in 1881-82 in Victorian Italianate style. The iron columns and general design of the street-level storefront are largely intact. Wachter and Ford ran a large dry goods business. By 1900 the building was housing the Farmer&#39;s National Bank and Host Brothers Meat Market.</p><br>
<p>The Bank of Geneva at 704 Main St is also called the Seymour Block. Its front Italianate section was constructed in 1883, a double-storefront built of cream brick and topped with an elaborate cornice. It was built by E.D. Richardson. His Bank of Geneva initially occupied the east storefront and an express office occupied the west. When E.D. died in 1892, the bank was found to be insolvent, and Henry Rogers jewelry store rented the banks space. John Seymour bought the building around 1900 and added a rear section in Classical Revival style around 1907.</p><br>
<p>The Hammersley Block at 741 Main St is a 2-story commercial vernacular-style store built in 1885, with a red brick front and a pressed metal cornice. The original street-level storefront was replaced in 1929 with a "modern" one of copper and glass from Brasco Manufacturing of Chicago. W.H. Hammersley ran his drug store in the building until 1905, and successive generations of Hammersleys ran the drug store until the 1980s.</p><br>
<p>The Frank Moore Block at 731 Main St was built in 1903, a 2-story commercial vernacular building with Classical Revival details. The front is faced in Bedford limestone. The second-story windows are topped with round-arched transoms. Moore constructed the building for his hardware store.</p><br>
<p>The Stannard-Chelini Block at 725-729 Main St is a double-store built for two different owners in 1908 and 1909. The walls are rusticated concrete blocks, topped with a simple classical cornice. Initially, George Stannard ran a barber shop in the west store, and Barney Chelini ran a confectionary and ice cream parlor in the east. During the 20s and 30s, the National Tea Company opened a grocery store in the building. By the 1960s it was a Ben Franklin store. The original street-level storefront was probably replaced with the stainless steel one by one of these later owners.</p><br>
<p>The Wisconsin Power and Light Company Building is a Colonial Revival-styled office building, with the street-level clad in red brick and the upper two stories in stucco. The entry is under a large round arches holding a wrought iron fanlight. The building contained offices, a showroom for appliances, a model laundry, and a room for demonstrations, cooking lessons, and meetings. The building was designed by H.V. VonHolst and built 1929-30 by T.S. Willis.</p><br>
<p>The McCall Street Historic District in Waukesha, Wisconsin is a historic district that was first listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983. In 1983 it included 51 buildings deemed to contribute to the historic character of its 13 acre area. In 1993 the boundaries were increased to include a 40 acre area having 100 contributing buildings.</p><br>
<p>The district includes:</p><br>
<p>The Bowron/Randles House (c. 1860), 403 McCall St, is a 2-story Greek Revival-styled building with limestone walls. Samuel A. Randle was a county judge and lawyer.</p><br>
<p>The Henry Carl George Residence (c. 1862-63), 210 McCall St, is a stone house with the design and proportions of Greek Revival style, but not the typical cornice. Carl was a stonemason.</p><br>
<p>The Randall house (1857/c. 1890), 120 McCall St., was once the home of Alexander Randall, former governor of Wisconsin.</p><br>

Murphy, a Virginia cotton and slavery merchant who owned a large warehouse at 122 Commerce Street, Montgomery, where slave traders in the 1850s confined slaves until they could be sold at auctions. The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on March 24, 1972.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>John H. Murphy moved his family to Montgomery and had completed this house by 1851. In 1854 the Montgomery Water Works Company was chartered, with Murphy serving as director. Murphy died in 1859, but his family stayed in the residence throughout the Civil War. Documented visitors during this period include Jefferson Davis and William Lowndes Yancey. The house became the headquarters of the Union Provost Marshal during the military occupation of Montgomery in 1865.</p><br>
<p>Little is known about the house following the Civil War. In 1902 the Elks social club bought the house to use as their lodge and maintained it until 1967. In that year they went bankrupt and the house was foreclosed on, later to be sold at public auction. In 1970 the Montgomery Water Works and Sanitary Sewer Board purchased and restored the house to serve as their offices. It has remained in the board&#39;s possession to the present day.</p><br>
<p>Camp Hammond is an historic house at 74 Main Street in Yarmouth, Maine. Built in 1889, this large Shingle style is notable for its method of construction, which used techniques more typically applied to industrial mill construction in a residential setting to minimize the spread of fire. George W. Hammond, one of its architects, was owner of the nearby Forest Paper Company. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Camp Hammond is located off the north side of Main Street (Maine State Route 115) in Yarmouth&#39;s town center, between the Sacred Heart Catholic Church and the Rowe School. It is a large -story wood-frame structure, with a gambrel roof, shingled exterior, and fieldstone foundation. The roof has three shed-roof dormers, each with differing window shapes and configurations. The main facade, facing roughly south, is divided into three sections. The rightmost section is a rounded bay, with three large sash windows on the first level and two smaller ones on the second. The central section houses the main entrance, flanked by fixed multipane windows, and a three-part window on the second level. The left section houses a tall three-part window on the first floor, and two pairs of windows (mirror-image narrow and wide sash) on the second floor. A porch extends across the left two sections, with a balustrade above; it originally extended farther left to form a porte-cochère, but that has been removed.</p><br>
<p>Built as a summer property by George Hammond, the house is a well-preserved local example of the Shingle Style of architecture. It is more important, however, for its construction method, which is a rare example of a "mill-built" residence, using techniques more commonly found in mill buildings to retard the advance of fire. It is built with heavy timbers, and has no walls with open voids where fire might pass with little notice. These techniques are not unlike construction methods found in First Period colonial housing, with exterior planking and sheathing, and no interior plasterwork. The interior sides of the planking and woodwork were finished, providing the house&#39;s rooms with a certain grandeur. The house was documented in an architectural journal in 1891.</p><br>
<p>Olmsted Brothers, the sons and descendants of Frederick Law Olmsted, designed the gardens of the property.</p><br>

<p>The 9-bedroom "summer cottage" was originally the centerpiece of a 300-acre (121.4 ha) estate, that was expanded to 400 acres (161.8 ha) early in the 20th century. The carriagehouse and other buildings have since been demolished, and the land subdivided, leaving the main house and boathouse on 2.4 acres (1 ha).</p><br>
<p>The boathouses design is unusual: a square stone ground floor at lakes edge supporting a circular shingled second floor, ringed by a 360-degree deck. It relates to Furnesss Undine Barge Club (1882–83) on Philadelphias Boathouse Row, and the architect&#39;s own summer cottage, Idlewild (c. 1890), in Media, Pennsylvania.</p><br>
<p>The property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991. In addition to the main house and boathouse, it includes one non-contributing building.</p><br>
