<p>The Chamberlin House is a historic house at 44 Pleasant Street in Concord, New Hampshire. Built in 1886, it is a prominent local example of Queen Anne architecture built from mail-order plans, and now serves as the clubhouse of the Concord Women&#39;s Club. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Chamberlin House stands on the north side of Pleasant Street (US 202/NH 9), in a line of residences extending westward from the city&#39;s commercial downtown area. The -story wood frame Queen Anne Victorian was built in 1886 by Horace Chamberlin, superintendent of the local division of the Boston and Maine Railroad. Although the house was probably built from mail-order plans (a popular way to acquire building plans at the time), it exhibits a wealth of Queen Anne and Shingle Style decoration, both inside and out. The house has a hip roof, but there are numerous projections, including a turret with conical roof on the right side of the front facade. The left side has a single story porch, decorated with Stick style balustrades both below and above the roof. Above the porch is a projecting bay window which is topped by a large gable that extends over the splayed corners of the bay, where there are curved brackets. The gable front is sheathed in decoratively cut shingles, with a small square window in the center.</p><br>
<p>The house remained in the Chamberlin family until Horaces wife died in 1918. Since the family had no children, she donated the property to the Concord Womens Club, of which she had been a longtime member. The club uses the building as its clubhouse; its interior, which is rich in detailed woodwork and styling, has been only modestly altered to accommodate the club&#39;s needs.</p><br>
<p>Stonehenge, also known as Stone Cottage or High House, is a historic summer estate house on Windmill Hill Road in Dublin, New Hampshire. Built in 1889, it is one of the first summer houses to be built in eastern Dublin, and was a centerpiece of the extensive holdings of the Parsons family. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Stonehenge is located in a rural setting in eastern Dublin, on the north side of Windmill Hill Road, at the end of a long drive east of Parsons Road. It is a -story shingle style house, with a gambrel roof and a lower level featuring random boulder construction. It has massive fieldstone chimneys, fully shingled upper stories, and eyebrow dormers in the rear roof.</p><br>
<p>The house was built in 1889 by F. W. Stevens for Martha Parsons, the daughter of a wealthy Boston merchant, and was the first in a series of summer properties built in the area by the Parsons family. In 1913 the property was rented by Cecil Spring Rice, then the British Ambassador to the United States, as part of the British "summer embassy". After the death of Martha Parsons in 1934, the property was sold to composer Timothy Spelman, who had a studio here. The property was acquired in 1950 by Frank McKenna, who separated a wing of the house, and moved it down the hill to the road, where it stands as the McKenna Cottage.</p><br>
<p>The Lewis S. Hills House is a historic residence in Salt Lake City, Utah, United States, that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places .</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The house, which has also been known as the Hogan Hotel, is located at 126 South 200 West and was built in 1885. It is a "High Victorian Italianate" style house. From 1928 until the 1970s, the Hogar Hotel was a gathering place for Basque migrants. The structure is significant for its association with Lewis S. Hills, a financier who, among other activities, served as bank president of Deseret National Bank.</p><br>
<p>The structure was listed on the NRHP August 18, 1977. The residence is distinct from Lewis S. Hills House, which located at 425 East 100 South in Salt Lake City and is also listed on the NRHP.</p><br>
<p>The University of Utah Circle, also known as Presidents Circle, is located on the campus of the University of Utah in Salt Lake City, Utah, United States. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978 as a historic district.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In 1900 the University of Utah moved to the current east-bench campus on land that used to belong to Fort Douglas. The four original buildings, which are currently known as the John Widtsoe Building, the LeRoy Cowles Building, the Alfred Emery Building, and the James Talmage Building were built on what is now University of Utah circle.</p><br>
<p>2024 pro-Palestinian encampment</p><br>
<p>The circle was the site of one of manny pro-Palestinian encampments that occurred in response to the Israel-Hamas war.</p><br>
<h2>Buildings</h2><br>
<p>The district is composed of the following eight buildings, which are all named after former University of Utah Presidents and located along University Circle:</p><br>
<p>Alfred Emery Building (1901) - Designed by Richard K.A. Kletting and named after former university president Alfred C. Emery in 1980. It was originally built to house the normal school.</p><br>
<p>John Widtsoe Building (1901) - Designed by Richard K.A. Kletting and named after former university president John A. Widtsoe.</p><br>
<p>LeRoy Cowles Building (1901) - Designed by Richard K.A. Kletting and named after former university president LeRoy E. Cowles in 1980. It was originally constructed to house the library. It currently houses the mathematics department at the university. "Extended Vision", a series of etched and screenprinted plates depicting math theories created by artist Anna Campbell Bliss, were installed in the building&#39;s lobby between 2001 and 2003.</p><br>
<p>James Talmage Building (1902) - Designed by Richard K.A. Kletting and named after the former professor and university president James E. Talmage in 1976. It was originally constructed as a museum.</p><br>
<p>Park Building (1914) - Designed by the architectural firm of Cannon, Fetzer, Hansen. Originally named the "Central Building", it was renamed the "Park Building" in 1919 after former university president John R. Park. It currently houses the office of the president and other university administrators.</p><br>
<p>Kingsbury Hall (1930) - Designed by Anderson & Young and named after Joseph T. Kingsbury, former president of the university. Many of Utah&#39;s performing arts organizations started in Kingsbury Hall including Ballet West and Utah Opera.</p><br>
<p>David P. Gardner Hall (1931) - Designed by Ashton & Evans. Today it houses the school of music. A 1997 renovation added several areas to the building, including a concert hall named after Gardner&#39;s wife, Libby.</p><br>
<p>George Thomas Building (1935) - Designed by Ashton & Evans and named after former university president George Thomas. It was originally built as the George Thomas Library. In 1968 when the library moved and became the J. Willard Marriott Library the building became the home of the Utah Museum of Natural History. In 2011 the "Utah Museum of Natural History" moved to a new building and changed its name to "Natural History Museum of Utah". Since 2016, a program of works has been transforming the George Thomas Building in order to receive the new "Gary and Ann Crocker Science Center":</p><br>
<p>The Hillside Historic District in Waterbury, Connecticut is a 106 acre historic district that was listed on the National Register of Historic Places  in 1987. In 1987, it included 395 buildings deemed to contribute to the historic character of the area, and one other contributing structure. It includes the Wilby High School and the Benedict-Miller House, which are both separately listed. 32 Hillside Road, a several acre property that includes the Benedict Miller House, was the original site of The University of Connecticut&#39;s Waterbury Branch until 2003.</p><br>
<p>The oldest houses in the district are Greek Revival in style, and are located along its major roads, West Main and Cook Streets. The largest number of houses in the district are Queen Anne in style, reflective of the city&#39;s growth in the late 19th century. Early Victorian styles are present in smaller numbers, with a particularly fine examples of the Gothic Revival at 63 Prospect Street and the Italianate at 36 Buckingham Street. There are also a significant number of Colonial Revival and Tudor Revival houses, particularly along Prospect Street and Woodlawn Terrace. Non-residential properties include the 1889 Driggs School building on Woodlawn Terrace, and the Baptist and Christian Science churches, both built c. 1917.</p><br>
<p>The Christ Church Chapel is a religious building located at 61 Grosse Pointe Blvd. in Grosse Pointe Farms, Michigan. It is also known as the Christ Church Grosse Pointe or the Christ Episcopal Church. It was designated a Michigan State Historic Site in 1992 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1993.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Grosse Pointe Episcopal congregation began as a branch of Christ Church Detroit in 1923, with Sunday school held in local homes while worship services were still conducted in the main church on Jefferson Avenue. By 1928, work had begun on the construction of a building for the congregation.</p><br>
<p>Two more buildings were added to the complex over the next eleven years: the rectory in 1938 and Miller Hall in 1941.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Neo-Gothic chapel is built in a Latin cross configuration with a 50 ft tower at one corner. The narthex is designed to be similar to the Chapter House of Wells Cathedral, and the cloister (enclosed in 1957) is modeled after the one at Canterbury Cathedral.</p><br>
<p>The exterior of the chapel is covered with iridescent sandstone. The roof is covered with slate, with copper ridges and a copper spire. The church includes stained glass windows created by H. L. Willet, DeRaniere Studios of Detroit, and by the Detroit Stained Glass Company. The interior is constructed of limestone, with a flagstone floor. It boasts fine wood carvings, with the reredos crafted by London&#39;s Mowbray & Co., Ltd. and the rood beam and other pieces by J. Jungwirth Co. and Pom-McFate Co. of Detroit.</p><br>
<p>Miller Hall and the rectory are built in a complementary Tudor Revival style.</p><br>
<p>The Dr. Fred Stone Sr. Hospital is a six-story brick structure in Oliver Springs, Tennessee. Noted for its castle-like appearance and eccentric, unplanned design, the building was home to a one-doctor hospital operated by retired USA Army physician Fred Stone Sr.  in the 1940s, 1950s, and 1960s. Stone delivered over 5,000 babies while working at the hospital, and expanded the building room-by-room, floor-by-floor in his spare time. In 2006, the building was added to the National Register of Historic Places for its association with the region&#39;s medical services history, namely the transition from rural country doctors to modern hospitals.</p><br>
<p>The grandson of a noted Claiborne County doctor, Stone spent his teen years drifting around the country before returning to East Tennessee to obtain his medical degree in 1916. Stone served as an American medical aide to the British Army during World War I, and in 1918 was awarded the British Military Cross. After travelling around the world, he returned to East Tennessee, where in the early 1940s he worked as an examiner for new Manhattan Project employees at Oak Ridge. In 1943, Stone purchased what was then a simple two-story building in Oliver Springs for use as a hospital, and spent the next three decades expanding it, adding multiple stories, hidden corridors, marble terraces, and a six-story central observation tower. In 1999, the building and its environs appeared in the film October Sky.</p><br>
<h2>Location</h2><br>
<p>The Dr. Fred Stone Sr. Hospital is located in downtown Oliver Springs, about a block away from the Roane-Anderson county line. The NRHP-listed Colonial Hall is located just across the street to the south, and the NRHP-listed Oliver Springs Banking Company building is located just across the county line to the east. A contributing property in the hospital listing, known as the "Hayes House" after its builder, is located in a partially wooded lot adjacent to the hospital.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<h3>Fred Stone Sr. biography</h3><br>
<p>Fred Oscar Stone was born in Claiborne County, Tennessee, in 1887. His grandfather, Samuel Stone, was a country doctor, and accompanying his grandfather on calls as a child inspired Fred to seek a career in medicine later in life. At the age of 19, Fred moved to New Mexico to homestead a small plot of land, and within a few years had joined several relatives in Oregon, where he worked in hops vineyards.</p><br>
<p>Using money he had saved up, Stone returned to East Tennessee and enrolled in Lincoln Memorial University Medical School in Knoxville, from which he graduated in 1916. He briefly practiced medicine in Loyston, Tennessee, before joining the USA Army Medical Corps at the height of World War I. Stone was "loaned" to the British Fourth Battalion Regiment, and was awarded the British Military Cross for actions performed at Bucquoy in August 1918. After the war, Stone served in various places around the world, including the Philippines and India, before retiring from the Army in 1937.</p><br>
<p>After retirement, Stone purchased a large plot of land in Claiborne County, where he began building a large stone mansion embedded into a cliff-side overlooking Bear Creek (the mansion burned in 1975). In 1942, Stone was hired by Stone & Webster&mdash; the firm which built the Manhattan Project facilities at Oak Ridge&mdash; as an examiner for its new employees, a task Stone carried out from a makeshift clinic at the city&#39;s Elza Gate. After World War II, Stone devoted himself primarily to his Oliver Springs hospital, which he purchased in 1943, seeing patients at all hours of the day and expanding the building room-by-room in his spare time. He died in 1976.</p><br>
<h3>Structure history</h3><br>
<p>In the early 1900s, Oliver Springs was a small mountain town focused primarily on a lavish mineral springs resort known as the Oliver Springs Resort Hotel and coal mining activities at the base of the Cumberland Plateau to the west. A German-born physician, Henry Sienknecht, acquired a plot of land that included the later Stone hospital lot, and opened a general store which still stands near the hospital. When Sienknecht died in 1916, his daughter Ella and son-in-law Dr. Jesse Thaxton Hayes inherited the property. Around 1920, Hayes built a two-story clinic (the original section of the Stone hospital) on this property, and in 1924 he and his wife built a Bungalow-style house (the Hayes House) in the adjacent lot.</p><br>
<p>While inspecting the roof of his clinic in 1940, Hayes slipped and fell, and died shortly thereafter. His heirs sold the clinic and house to Charles and Alice Davis in 1940, and the Davises in turn sold the clinic (but not the house) to Stone in 1943. Stone immediately began expanding the building. He hired a brick-mason named Joe Chittum and mobilized idle nurses and relatives to mix mortar and aide in bricklaying. By 1946, the building rose five stories at its highest point. As the building continued to grow, Stone modified its design to fit around an old Maple tree growing on the lot, giving the buildings northeast corner its awkward appearance. The buildings central six-story tower, completed in 1949, briefly served as a Civil Defense lookout for the nearby atomic energy installations at Oak Ridge.</p><br>
<p>By the time of Stones death, the building, which originally covered 1,036 ft&sup2, had grown to over 4,000 ft&sup2;. The buildings subsequent owners removed the Maple tree and added fiberglass covers to parts of the roof to prevent water leakage. An architect named Charles Tichy eventually acquired the building, and began restoring it in the early 1990s. Several scenes from the 1999 film October Sky (which was set in a West Virginia mining town) were shot in Oliver Springs, including a scene in the alley adjacent to the hospital. The nearby Sieknecht store still bears the "Olga Coal Company" facade from the movie.</p><br>
<h2>Design</h2><br>
<p>The Dr. Fred Stone Sr. Hospital can be roughly divided into three sections&mdash; the "front" section, containing the original 1920 structure built by Hayes, the "middle" section surrounding the tower, and the four-story "rear" section. The original 1920 structure measured 28 by, and consisted of a typical shop front with a recessed entrance flanked by two windows. In 1943, Stone extended it from 37 ft to 43 ft to include a second shop front, with its own window and entrance, and united the two shops with a stepped-gabled facade. Two dormer windows were added to the third story of this section&#39;s southwest wall in the 1980s.</p><br>
<p>The middle section rises to four stories, with various decks and terraces rising to five stories, and the central 20 by tower rising to six stories. There are six doors at the northeast base (facing Stone Alley) of the middle section, some accessing the first floor, others accessing stairways leading to the upper floors. A brick between stories five and six in the tower is stamped with "1946," and a marble slab in the tower&#39;s open-air pavilion is stamped with "1949," giving some idea of the dates of completion. Along with the tower, the roof of the middle section consists of a series of irregular marble terraces, some accessed by exterior stairways, and some accessed by interior stairways.</p><br>
<p>The buildings rear section rises to four stories, but the southwestern one-third of this section rises to three stories topped by a terrace (currently covered with protective fiberglass). Part of the rear sections northeast wall is recessed, as Stone attempted to build around a Maple tree growing on the lot. The walls of this section were set irregularly to accommodate the tree&#39;s branches.</p><br>
<p>Most of the buildings interior rooms are small and simple. Fireplaces typically consist of brick or marble hearths with brick mantels. Some of the interior walls contain windows, revealing that they were once exterior walls. Most of the interior walls are plastered, although some contain clay tiles. Upper floors are accessed via wood or marble staircases, although the building contains a crude rope-and-pulley elevator. Aside from the two storefronts (which were rented as commercial space), the first floor was essentially a basement and garage. The second floor contained the clinic space and the Stone familys residential space.</p><br>
<h3>Hayes House</h3><br>
<p>The Hayes House, located in an adjacent lot southwest of the hospital, is the National Register listing&#39;s only other contributing structure. The Bungalow-style house, built by Dr. J. T. Hayes in 1924, is a one-and-one-half store brick structure with a green-painted tiled hip roof. Two sets of dormer windows rise from the front of the roof (facing Roane Street). The first floor of the house contains a central living room, dining room, kitchen, and three bedrooms. The second floor contains a bedroom and an attic.</p><br>
<p>Fort Gaddis is the oldest known building in Fayette County, Pennsylvania and the second oldest log cabin in Western Pennsylvania. It is located 300 yds east of old USA Route 119, near the Route 857 intersection in South Union Township, Pennsylvania . Fort Gaddis was built about 1769-74 by Colonel Thomas Gaddis who was in charge of the defense of the region, and his home was probably designated as a site for community meetings and shelter in times of emergency, hence the term "Fort Gaddis," probably a 19th-century appellation. It is a 1 1/2-story, 1-room log structure measuring 26 feet long and 20 feet wide.</p><br>
<p>During the Whiskey Rebellion a Liberty Pole was erected at the house during a rally in support of the rebel cause. The choice of this site for a political demonstration indicates its importance as a focal point for community expression. The fact that all the additions to the building were removed in the early twentieth century in respect for the section contemporary with the American Revolution and Whiskey Rebellion is evidence of the building&#39;s longstanding and continuing status and power as a community symbol.</p><br>
<p>Fort Gaddis was built near the Catawba Trail, an important north-south route that extended from New York to Tennessee and passed through Uniontown, Pennsylvania and Morgantown, West Virginia. In the 19th century the trail became locally known as the Morgantown Road. It is now Old USA Route 119. About 2 miles north on this road is Uniontown, the Fayette County, Pennsylvania seat, settled in the late 1760s and founded in July 1776 as Beeson&#39;s Mill.</p><br>
<p>History fans and researchers should be aware that, depending on which sources are consulted, Fort Gaddis can also be known as the "Thomas Gaddis Homestead", the "Thomas Gaddis House" or "Gaddis&#39; Fort".</p><br>
<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1974 as the Thomas Gaddis Homestead.</p><br>
<p>The Louis and Celia Skoler Residence, at 213 Scottholm Terrace in Syracuse, New York, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on February 12, 2010.</p><br>
<p>The property was listed by the Common Council of the City of Syracuse as a Syracuse protected site on November 7, 2005.</p><br>
<p>Louis Skoler (died 2008) was an architect who held a Cornell University degree and was a professor emeritus of Syracuse University. The career of Louis Skoler is documented in a Syracuse University Archives collection.</p><br>
<p>Parker House is an historic house at 185 South Street in Blue Hill, Maine. Built c. 1816 and substantially updated in the Colonial Revival style in 1900 to a design by George Albert Clough, the house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004 for its architectural significance.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Parker House was constructed for Robert Parker and his wife Ruth, a daughter of Blue Hill founder Joseph Wood, in 1816 (or possibly in 1812), on an upland portion of the Parker family land grants of which Parker Point was also part. After passing to other owners including Frederick Fisher, grandson of Blue Hills first settled minister Jonathan Fisher, the house was remodeled in 1900 by George A. Clough for Mrs. Frederick Augustus Merrill, a resident of Boston descended from Ruth Parkers sister, Edith Wood Hinckley, the first child of early settlers to be born in Blue Hill.</p><br>
<p>Parker House was listed on the National Register of Historic Places both for the quality of its original features and for changes made by Clough in the Colonial Revival spirit. The house contains much original woodwork including several fine fireplaces; Cloughs contributions included Tuscan-columned porches and the addition of a (now removed) wrap-around veranda and balustrades on the roofs. Prior to designation the present owner altered the interior using a device Cloughs more famous contemporary John Calvin Stevens had employed when remodeling the Federal Elias Thomas House in Portland, Maine, combining two downstairs rooms and marking the transition with a screen of columns and pilasters.</p><br>
<p>The classical mode of the Colonial Revival was considered an advancement in taste over the earlier, more rustic Shingle Style, but at this period - especially after 1893, the year of the Columbian Exposition - the style began to have associations with retrograde social politics, specifically nativism. Under pressure from below by the growing political influence of recent immigrants and from above by the social dominance of Gilded Age nouveaux riches, old families around the dawn of the 20th century tended to insist somewhat on their gentility, and often chose to imbue a sense of family history into the design and decoration of their houses.</p><br>
<p>The Merrills were no exception. They filled Parker House with oil portraits by family friend J. Harvey Young, (the one of Mrs. Merrills mother Mary Peters Hinckley Ober painted posthumously), and with antiques with family provenance, a few wrested from local cousins, creating for themselves a kind of ersatz ancestral home. (It seems clear this had long been their intention: their daughters Edith and Ruth, born in the 1880s, shared the names of two of Joseph Woods.). Among such acquisitions was a table which came up from Beverly with Joseph Wood, later given to the Blue Hill Historical Society by Mrs. Merrills granddaughter, Betty Darling Bates. (It can be seen at Holt House, the Societys headquarters, built by Stephen Holt and his wife Edith, youngest of the Parker daughters). There was also the inevitable spinning wheel, a Peters family heirloom, still in the house but now banished upstairs.</p><br>
<p>This sense of created history extended to legends concerning the house&#39;s construction, traditionally assumed to be complete before 1813. (This would have had to be the case for the tale of Joseph Wood dying in the house to be true). The story of workmen on the roof hearing the guns at Castine signaling the commencement of the War of 1812, dropping everything in their haste to join the fight then returning to pick up rusty tools where they lay is surely apocryphal, being just the sort of tale conjured up at the time to romanticize the patriotic spirit of early Americans.</p><br>
<p>Yet with Civil War era anti-draft riots and lynchings of free blacks by protestors vivid in the memory of many living in 1900, being less remote in time than the Vietnam War and Watergate are to us, such stories may have had particular meaning to New Englanders steeped in the traditions of Abolitionism and military service: Mrs. Merrills elder brother had fought under Grant and she was proud to be descended from Nehemiah Hinckley, Edith Woods husband, a Blue Hill soldier who walked home from West Point after the Revolution.</p><br>
<p>As remodeled, Parker House was emphatically a summer home - Cloughs French windows were not designed to keep out winter chills - but was also conceived as a place in the country. Inspired by the House and Garden Movement, in the fashion of the day Mrs. Merrill kept a Jersey cow and laying hens, unthinkable on Parker Point where the family had previously summered. She also cultivated gladiolus in her garden, entering them at the annual Blue Hill Fair, and, in the spirit of agricultural improvement then abroad in the land, engaged Frederick Vernon Coville, the developer of the modern Highbush Blueberry, to plant a number of his early cultivars on the property. (His services did not come cheap. According to her granddaughters recollections, Mrs. Merrill would sometimes say to guests to whom she served any, "Did you enjoy the berries? They cost me a nickel apiece.") Fashionable too were her artistic pursuits. The house contains two oil still-lives and a set of hand-painted Limoges china as well as examples of her needlepoint.</p><br>
<p>Although a golfer, Mrs. Merrills husband was also artistically inclined. A letter preserved at the house from his patient and former professor at Harvard, Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr. thanks Dr. Merrill for the gift of a hand-turned hub, presented as a token of Holmess famous remark about Boston. Dr. Merrill crafted several of the picture frames in the house including one inscribed as being made of wood from the Boston Old Elm on the Common, "Bostons Oldest Inhabitant" as it was known until it blew down in a gale in 1876. The Merrills younger daughter Ruth followed suit, graduating from the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. Her thesis project, a self-portrait, still hangs in the house.</p><br>
<p>Now entering its third century, Parker House and its collections are sufficiently restored to have been included in a recent charity house tour. Illustrating close family ties to its grander neighbor, Barncastle, Parker House had on view memorabilia including scrapbooks, portraits and photographs belonging to Barncastles builder, Effie Hinckley Ober Kline, founder of the Boston Ideal Opera Company, Washington, D.C. real estate investor and patron of the arts in Cleveland, and her husband Virgil, John D. Rockefellers private lawyer, friend and mentor of Charles W. Chesnutt and advisor to James A Garfield. Visitors were invited to examine the portrait collection to see if they could determine which pair, badly damaged by vandals in the 1940s, have received expert restoration in recent years.</p><br>
<p>The Bell Telephone Building, located at 920 Olive Street in downtown St. Louis, Missouri, was built in 1889 to house the switchboard and local headquarters of the Bell Telephone Company. The building served as the main telephone exchange for St. Louis from its construction until 1926, and it is the oldest extant telephone building in St. Louis .</p><br>
<h2>History and restoration</h2><br>
<p>The earliest St. Louis telephone exchange was located in the National Bank Building at 417 Olive (since demolished) in 1878. By the late 1880s, space for a dedicated telephone exchange facility was needed. Groundbreaking occurred in 1889 after the acceptance of the Boston-based Shepley, Rutan and Coolidge design, and the final construction cost was $154,225. The main switchboard room was at the top of the building (then only six stories). Between 1890 and 1910 telephone use expanded dramatically, and the local St. Louis Bell Company merged with other Bell telephone companies to form Southwestern Bell by 1920. In 1923, Southwestern Bell absorbed the local St. Louis telephone competitor, Kinloch Telephone, adding to pressure on the capacity of the building. These pressures resulted in the construction of the nearby Southwestern Bell Building in St. Louis between 1923 and 1926.</p><br>
<p>After Southwestern Bell vacated the building, it became used as a retail and warehouse facility for the St. Louis print company S.G. Adams Stationery, which was purchased by Comfort Printing in 1959 (but continued operating under the original name).</p><br>
<p>The building became the flagship store for S.G. Adams during the 1960s through the 1980s. However, S.G. Adams refocused its business model on commercial printing in the early 1990s, closing its retail locations. The Bell Telephone Building became the final retail store of S.G. Adams, and it was closed and vacated in 1994.</p><br>
<p>Between 1999 and 2004, restoration of the building created residential loft apartments in upper floors, with commercial retail at ground level. One of the early ground level tenants was City Grocers, a specialty market that also dealt in necessities for downtown condo and loft dwellers, which assumed the place of the only grocery store in downtown St. Louis from its opening in 2004 until the opening of a new format of Schnucks supermarket at Olive and 9th streets in 2009.</p><br>
<p>Upper floors of the building continue to be used as residential apartments under the operation of St. Louis LoftWorks.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The building is a seven-story commercial building of brick and red sandstone, with three-story arcades rising from the ground-level storefronts. The building originally was built with six stories, while a seventh was added in the same style as the lower levels in 1919 to meet rising demands for space. In 1940, a limestone sheath covered the original storefronts after the building was purchased by S.G. Adams. The eastern wall of the building is blank brick and rises above a neighboring four-story building. The roof is flat, while a parapet wall surrounds the building on all sides.</p><br>
<p>Bell Telephone primarily is significant for its rarity in St. Louis architecture. Most downtown Romanesque Revival buildings were demolished during the 20th century, with some notable exceptions (such as the Cupples Station warehouse complex). It also is one of only a handful of buildings in St. Louis designed by either Henry Hobson Richardson or his successor firm Shepley, Rutan and Coolidge.</p><br>
<p>The North Lawrence–Monroe Street Historic District was a 2.8 acre historic district in Montgomery, Alabama. It comprised 132–148, 216, and 220 Monroe Street and 14, 22, 28–40, and 56 North Lawrence Street, containing a total of six contributing buildings. These buildings were significant in that they housed African American businesses during the era of segregation, making this a commercial center for African Americans in Montgomery. The businesses played a supporting role during the Montgomery bus boycott in 1955–1956 by providing dispatch and pick-up services.

<h2>Design</h2><br>
<p>The Shakespeare Garden is located on the Northwestern University campus at the corner of Sheridan Road and Garrett Place, near the Howes Chapel and Garrett&ndash;Evangelical Theological Seminary. The garden is 70 ft wide by 120 ft long and is divided into eight flower beds. The four outer beds are designed informally, while the four inner beds are knot gardens; the outer and inner beds are separated by boxwood plants. The borders of the garden are lined with hawthorn trees, many of which were imported from France when the garden was first planted. The more than fifty varieties of plants in the garden were either mentioned in Shakespeare&#39;s works, common in the Tudor period in England, or are cultivars of plants in the other two categories.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In 1915, the Drama League of America recommended the construction of Shakespeare gardens to commemorate the 300th anniversary of the playwrights death. Noted Chicago landscape architect and Drama League member Jens Jensen designed such a garden, and fellow member Alice Houston suggested that the Garden Club of Evanston adopt the design. Northwestern University agreed to host the garden on its campus in late 1915, and construction and planting began the following spring. To raise funds for the garden, the Garden Club hosted its first garden fair in May 1916; the fair became an annual event and is still held to this day. Planting in the garden was finished in 1920, and in the following decade the Garden Club added the gardens other features. The completed garden was the first Shakespeare garden in the United States. In 1930, the garden was officially given to Northwestern; however, it is still maintained by the Garden Club. The garden was added to the National Register of Historic Places on November 16, 1988. A sundial and brick edging on the inner flower beds were added to the garden in 1990. The garden celebrated its centennial birthday in 2015.</p><br>

<p>Thomas Square is a park in Honolulu, Hawaii, named for Admiral Richard Darton Thomas. The Privy Council voted to increase its boundaries on March 8, 1850, making Thomas Square Hawaii&#39;s oldest city park. It is one of four sites in Hawaii where the Hawaiian flag is allowed to fly alone without the United States flag.</p><br>
<h2>Background</h2><br>
<p>In February 1843, Lord George Paulet on seized and occupied the Kingdom of Hawaii during the Paulet Affair.</p><br>
<p>On July 26, Admiral Richard Darton Thomas sailed into Honolulu harbor on his flagship. He became Local Representative of the British Commission by outranking Paulet. His intention was to end the occupation. On July 31, he held the Hawaiian flag in his hands as he officially transferred the islands back to King Kamehameha III, who said the words Ua Mau ke Ea o ka ʻĀina i ka Pono in a speech during a ceremony to mark his restoration. Roughly translated from the Hawaiian language, it means, "The sovereignty of the land is perpetuated in righteousness" and has become Hawaii&#39;s state motto, incorporated into the Seal of Hawaii. The British flag set was pulled down and the Hawaiian flag was raised, followed by a series of 21 gun salutes from the Fort, the British ships Carysfort, Dublin, Hazzard, the American ship Constellation, and lastly by guns at the park.</p><br>
<p>Kamehameha III later named the place where the ceremony was held in Downtown Honolulu "Thomas Square" in Admiral Thomas&#39;s honor and dedicated it as a public park.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>After the Privy Council demarcated Thomas Squares enlargement on March 8, 1850, the park was still merely a dusty field. A "cheap fence" was installed around 1873. Oats were sown and harvested and algaroba (kiawe) trees were planted soon after 1873, but there was still little shade. It was around this time that the merchant Archibald Scott Cleghorn (husband of Princess Miriam Likelike, father of Princess Kaʻiulani, and brother-in-law of Kalākaua and Liliʻuokalani) began stewarding Thomas Square and Emma Square (Honolulus only two parks at that point). By 1883, Cleghorn had approved Robert Stirlings park design, which laid out a series of circular and semicircular paths. Since Honolulus treasury was in "dire condition" at the time, Cleghorn brought banyan trees from ʻĀinahau, his Waikiki estate, to plant and create more shade. He also asked his friends for money to design and build a bandstand, seating, and add more planting. Within several years, the bandstand was designed and installed by F. Wilhelm while more shrubs and trees were planted. The improved park celebrated a successful grand opening on April 7, 1887 where the Royal Hawaiian Band performed to a huge crowd.</p><br>
<p>In 1925 it was made into a park managed by the City and County of Honolulu.</p><br>
<p>In the early 1930s, the Parks Boards commissioned and adopted a renovation landscape plan by Catherine J. Richards and Robert O. Thompson. The renovation included a mock orange hedge along the curbs, flower beds bisecting a central walkway, and a terraces and coral wall parallel to Beretania Street. It was during this renovation period in 1932 that The Outdoor Circle donated the central memorial fountain, dedicating it to the late Beatrice Castle Newcomb, who had been the President of the Outdoor Circle from 1922 to 1929.</p><br>
<p>In 1938, The Daughters of Hawaii unveiled a plaque to commemorate the historic flag-raising event.</p><br>
<p>In 1942, the US Army built barracks at Thomas Square to quarter troops during World War II. It received $50,000 in 1966 for a renovation that included an expanded comfort station, a new coral walkway from Beretania Street, and tree-pruning to thin out the canopies to allow for more light and air.</p><br>
<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places listings in Oahu on April 25, 1972. It is state historic site 80-14-9990.</p><br>
<p>In 2011, the sidewalk on the corner of South Beretania Street and Ward Avenue became an encampment site for (De)Occupy Honolulu, a Hawaiʻi affiliate of the Occupy movement. As such, regular protests and police conflicts became a feature of the area until the encampment was permanently cleared.</p><br>
<p>July 31 is celebrated as Lā Hoihoi Ea or Restoration Day holiday. The park&#39;s pathways are in the form of the British flag. A fountain is in the center of the square, surrounded by trees. Across the street is the Honolulu Museum of Art.</p><br>
<p>On July 31, 2018, a 12-foot high bronze sculpture of Kamehameha III by Oregon artist Thomas Jay Warren and a flagpole flying the Hawaiian flag were dedicated at Thomas Square in a ceremony honoring the 175th anniversary of the restoration of Hawaiian sovereignty. Warren was paid $250,000, allotted by the Mayor&#39;s Office of Culture and the Arts as part of Mayor Kirk Caldwell’s plans to revamp the park.</p><br>
<p>Thomas Square is one of four sites in Hawaii where the Hawaiian flag is allowed to fly alone without the United States flag. The others are the Royal Mausoleum at Mauna ʻAla, ʻIolani Palace and Puʻuhonua o Hōnaunau.</p><br>

<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Chittenango Landing dry docks were constructed in 1856 as part of the enlarged canal expansion of the original "Clinton ditch" canal. Due to the similarity in construction with other nearby dry docks in Newark, Albion, and Middleport the Chittenango docks were possibly constructed by the same contractor.</p><br>
<p>The dry dock property was first purchased for $1400.00 from the Yates Estate in 1856 and changed ownership numerous times during its existence.</p><br>
<p>After the enlarged canal ceased operation, the Chittenango Landing site was used for agricultural operations, the barn at the site was used to house horses, cows, and chickens through</p><br>
<p>the first half of the twentieth century. The sites warehouse was also cut in half and moved, using block and tackle, to a new location behind the sites sawmill where it was used as an icehouse.
