<p>The McCarthy House in Virginia City, Nevada was built in 1875 before the Virginia City&#39;s Great Fire of October 26, 1875 but, downhill from commercial C Street, it survived the fire. It is a gable-front -story house with shiplap siding.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1995. It is also included in the Virginia City Historic District, a National Historic Landmark.</p><br>
<p>The house was occupied by T.F. McCarthy during 1875 to 1914, then vacant from 1914 to 1986.</p><br>
<h2>Significance</h2><br>
<p>The McCarthy House, situated in the middle of an Irish-immigrant locality, is a well-conserved house of the working class. As an outstanding expression of a significant ethnic and mining workforce, the house became notable under criterion A. It is noteworthy under criterion C as well, because the Comstock Mining District is an example of the vernacular architecture used for an average working-class house.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The house is built in 1875 in the eastern part of Virginia City. The Comstock Lode was at its peak while it was built. The design of the house shows a Folk Victorian style. It is a one and half-story and wood-framed establishment. It contains a steeply-pitched, gabled roof that unites simple elements of the Italianate and Greek-Revival styles. Its exterior has sports matching bay windows on both sides of the entrance. A blacksmith from County Cork, Ireland named Timothy Francis McCarthy brought his nephew with him to use him as a helping hand for the construction work of his house.</p><br>
<p>The members of the McCarthy family were Timothy, his brother James, his 2nd wife, Frances, their 2 kids, nephew Robert Dwyer and another 2 kids from an earlier marriage. The house had only a living space of 700 square feet for all these family members. The 1st floor of the building had a parlor, kitchen, and 1 large and 2 small bedrooms. The 2nd floor was used as a sleeping space by the McCarthys though it was not completed as a living space. The adjacent woodshed and outhouse of the nineteenth-century event today exist on the site.</p><br>
<p>The ownership of the house was retained by this family since 1875. From 1915 to 1986, the house remained empty as Timothy went to live with one of his sons in Arizona. In 1986, Timothy&#39;s grandson John McCarthy came to live in the house and made some modifications which include the installation of electricity and indoor plumbing, finishing the second story, and rear addition. The McCarthy House is owned by the McCarthy family to date and is not open to the public.</p><br>

<p>The Fisher Farm site is an archaeological site in Centre County, Pennsylvania, United States. Located in fields on the outskirts of Unionville, it is one of central Pennsylvania&#39;s leading archaeological sites.</p><br>
<h2>Profile</h2><br>
<p>The Fisher Farm site encompasses approximately 3.5 acre on the northern bank of Bald Eagle Creek. While the site primarily includes farm fields, the site is divided into two sections by a railroad line, and a former streambed is located amid the fields. west of central Unionville Farmers have plowed the fields west of central Unionville since at least the 1870s, but the area was farmed before European settlement. Investigations at the site have led archaeologists to conclude that the site is that of a Late Woodland farming village that was occupied between AD 1200 and 1600.</p><br>
<h2>Excavations</h2><br>
<p>Archaeological excavations of the Fisher Farm site commenced in 1976 and continued through 1978. Based on the tests conducted in 1976, the large-scale excavations of 1977 and 1978 resulted in the removal of hundreds of square meters of field and former streambed above Bald Eagle Creek. Among the artifacts recovered in 1977 were nine burials and sixty-three other items of interest, while the 1978 excavation yielded pollen and carbon-14 samples useful for dating and reconstructing the profile of the site respectively. The site was named for its owner, Ivan Fisher.</p><br>
<h2>Conclusions</h2><br>
<p>The Fisher Farm site has been crucial to the understanding of Late Woodland archaeology in central Pennsylvania. Before excavations at Fisher Farm, research at Late Woodland villages in the region had been conducted at stockaded villages along rivers; sites such as Fisher Farm, which was smaller than the fortified villages and located along a less significant waterway, had been little studied. It has been suggested that these small villages were politically connected to the larger communities, although whether individuals would migrate between large and small villages is disputed. Much of the cultural evidence at the site is derived from pottery recovered in 1978 from the former streambed. While previous models had held that different styles of pottery replaced one another in a sudden fashion, the development of designs seen at Fisher Farm seems to indicate a more gradual transition from style to style. Finally, the Fisher Farm site was the first of many villages to be excavated in the Nittany Valley; as such, it has become somewhat of a type site in the region. Findings at the site have led to the proposal of a new model of Late Woodland culture in the region.</p><br>
<h2>Recognition</h2><br>
<p>In 1982, the Fisher Farm site was placed on the National Register of Historic Places for its place as a significant archaeological site.</p><br>
<p>The Rufus M. Rose House is a late Victorian, Queen Anne style house located in the SoNo district of Atlanta, Georgia. Occupying a narrow lot on Peachtree Street, one and a half blocks south of North Avenue, the house was built in 1901 for Dr. Rufus Mathewson Rose. The architect was Emil Charles Seiz , who designed many residential and commercial structures in the city, including the 1924 Massellton Apartments on Ponce de Leon Avenue.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The house is an extremely rare example of a nineteenth-century town house built for one of Atlanta&#39;s wealthy citizens. Its red-brick exterior consists of bayed and multi-gabled facades interspersed with numerous window shapes and sizes, and numerous fireplaces. The original slate roof and front porch have been lost.</p><br>
<p>Additionally, the property has carved, marble steps that originally ascended directly from the sidewalk on Peachtree Street up to the front porch. The homes tiny yard is the "singular survivor from Peachtrees residential heyday."</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The approximately 5,200 ft&sup2; home was built for Dr. Rufus M. Rose in 1901 at a cost of $9,000.</p><br>
<p>Rose, a former druggist and Civil War doctor who moved to Atlanta in 1867, was the founder of the R. M. Rose Co. Distillery (Mountain Spring Distillery), located in the Atlanta suburb of Vinings, as well as the owner of a large real estate business known as the Rose Investment Company. The Rose family lived in this home until 1921.</p><br>
<p>From 1923, when the property was sold out of the Rose family, until the mid-1940s, the home was used as a private residence, then as a rooming house, then as offices for the Fulton County Relief Administration, then, once again, as a private residence.</p><br>
<p>In 1945, James H. Elliot Sr. bought the house and used it as an antique store and museum, which he named J.H. Elliots Antiques and the Atlanta Museum. Open to the public, the museum contained furniture belonging to Margaret Mitchell, personal items of Bobby Jones, Ethiopian Emperor Haile Selassies throne, a Japanese Zero war plane and many other notable items. After more than 50 years, the store and museum closed in 1998.</p><br>
<p>From 1999 to 2001, the house served as the headquarters for the until it moved into L. P. Grants antebellum mansion in Atlantas Grant Park neighborhood.</p><br>
<p>While the house is listed on the National Register of Historic Places (1977) and is designated as a Landmark Building Exterior (1989) by the City of Atlanta, it is currently vacant and endangered due to neglect.</p><br>
<p>The house was sold for a price of $309,750 on August 24, 2011, to an individual by the name of Gholam Bakhtiari at an auction held by the real estate firm Williams & Williams.</p><br>
<p>Vacant since 2001, the house was sold in 2020 to Inman Park Properties before being sold again to UC Asset, an Atlanta-based real estate investment firm, in 2021. Renovations on the property began in September 2021, though developers have not yet announced future plans for the property.</p><br>
<p>The Florence Crittenton Home is a historic house at 3600 West 11th Street in Little Rock, Arkansas. Its main block is a two-story brick hip-roof structure, to which similarly styled ells have been added to the right and rear. Its front facade is symmetrical, with a central entrance sheltered by a Colonial Revival portico supported by grouped columns and topped by a painted iron railing. The house was built in 1917 to a design by the architectural firm Thompson & Harding.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
<p>The Gillette House in Houston, Texas is a one-story frame cottage with a hipped roof that was built in 1904 in the Houston Heights area. James Gillette, the original owner, was an attorney. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.</p><br>
<p>It was deemed notable as a "good example of a simple-type cottage built in early years of Heights...for the rising middle-class population". There is Queen Anne influence in its architecture.</p><br>
<p>The Otter Creek Bridge, a 122 ft-long 122 ft-wide bridge in Cedar Vale, Kansas, was built in 1936. It replaced a previous bridge that was destroyed by flood in June 1935. It is a camelback through truss bridge made primarily of riveted steel and wood.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.</p><br>
<p>It was deemed significant for its engineering.</p><br>
<p>The bridge would have been built more promptly but the Kansas Emergency Relief Committee, which developed plans for the bridge, was disbanded in 1935 and the plans were lost. The Works Project Administration, which took over responsibility for the project, had to develop new plans.</p><br>
<p>The Charles Patterson House, at 506 S. Union St. in Natchez, Mississippi, also known as Camelia Gardens, is a historic Queen Anne-style house that was designed by Robert E. Bost and was built by Bost in 1898. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1994.</p><br>
<p>It was included as a contributing building in the large Downriver Residential Historic District, NRHP-listed in 1999.</p><br>
<p>The Patterson House in Larned, Kansas is a three-bedroom Lustron house built in 1949. Together with its matching Lustron garage, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2001.</p><br>
<p>It was built by Great Bend, Kansas Lustron dealer Don Brack in 1949 and would have cost somewhat more than $10,500. All exterior surfaces and walls and ceilings inside the house are porcelain enamel steel. It has an original built-in dining room china cabinet and pass-through to the kitchen, which identifies the house as a "Deluxe" edition of Lustron&#39;s Westchester house model. Other porcelain enamel built-in features include bookcases, a mirrored vanity, and closets and overhead storage.</p><br>
<p>It is a front-gabled, 31 by house with "Dove Gray" walls, white trim, and a green roof.</p><br>
<p>The two-car Lustron garage, like the house, is front-gabled and sits on a concrete slab foundation.</p><br>
<p>The property was deemed notable in 2001 as "an excellent and rare example of a three-bedroom Westchester Deluxe Lustron with an accompanying Lustron garage." A red brick wall holding an outdoor brick fireplace connects the house and garage and defines an outdoor patio area; this is compatible with intentions of Lustron designers for renovations to be added and does not detract from the historic integrity of the property.</p><br>
<p>The first owners, Harold and Alice Patterson, raised five children in the home. Donald and Joanne Reep bought the house in 1964. Mrs. Reep recalled taking the kitchen cabinets to an auto body shop to repair, after a kitchen fire, and appreciated the "indestructible" Lustron roof. In 2000, Mrs. Reep worked as a realtor in Larned, Kansas and reportedly knew at least one Lustron owner who valued the durability of Lustron houses for rental property.</p><br>
<p>Only about 2,500 Lustrons were ever manufactured.</p><br>
<p>The Callahan House, also known as the Jacob Helm House, is a historic home located in the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area south of Milford, in Dingman Township, Pike County, Pennsylvania. It was built in two sections, with the older dated to about 1800 and the later to about 1820. It is a long, -story, clapboard-clad frame dwelling with a steep gable roof. It features exposed chimney backs at the first floor exterior in the Dutch style, and a porch along the newer wing.</p><br>
<p>It served as an inn, and is believed to have been a station on the Underground Railroad.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.</p><br>
<p>The Concord Village Historic District in Concord, Michigan dates back to 1836, and consists of historic structures located along Hanover Street from Spring to Michigan Streets and North Main Street from Railroad to Monroe Streets. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1996.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The village of Concord was first settled in the early 1830s by William Van Fossen and Thomas McGee. The village itself was platted in 1836 by Isaac Swain, a wealthy local farmer. A flour mill was built by Isaac and William Van Fossen on the north side of the river in 1837 and became the foundation of the local economy for the next few decades. Concord became a small village as more settlers arrived and built houses. A small business district, primarily in wooden buildings, grew along Main Street.</p><br>
<p>In 1871, the Michigan Air Line Railroad between Jackson and Niles was built. The track was leased by the Michigan Central Railroad, and eventually became part of the New York Central Railroad. The availability of transportation spurred growth in Concord, and local agriculture boomed. In addition, small industries sprang up in the area around the mill. The railroad also heralded a residential building boom, with about fifty houses constructed in Concord in the early 1870s. At the same time, the wood-frame buildings in the villages&#39; commercial district were slowly replaced with one and two-story brick commercial buildings. Toward the end of the 1800s, a series of fires destroyed most of the remaining wooden commercial buildings in the district.</p><br>
<p>As the automobile rose in the 1900s, the railroad died out. Some auto-related businesses opened in the village, but the main highway (now M-60) was routed several blocks north of the downtown in the 1930s, and the district avoided the intrusion of auto-related businesses of the later twentieth century.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Concord Village Historic District contains the entire historic commercial district of Concord, Michigan, as well as the surrounding early residential development. The district encompasses a cross-shaped area extending along the two main intersecting roads of the village: Hanover and Main Streets. In 1996, the district included 120 structures, of which 106 were contributing buildings. It includes two separately-NRHP-listed properties: the Mann House and the Paddock-Hubbard House.</p><br>
<p>The district is divided among commercial structures (primarily one- and two-story brick commercial Italianate buildings dating from the late nineteenth and early twentieth century) and residential structures. The residential structures are primarily wood-framed single-family homes, ranging from vernacular Greek Revival, Gothic Revival, and Italianate, to Craftsmen designs. The district also contains three churches.</p><br>
<p>Significant structures in the district include:</p><br>
<p>Joer&#39;s Farm Center/Mill (206 North Main) This mill was constructed in 1920, replacing a Greek Revival mill that burned in 1919. The mill is a three-story, gabled roof structure with a single concrete main house.</p><br>
<p>Farmers State Bank (101 South Main) Constructed in 1900, this building is a relatively rare building style: a one-story, flat iron and tower, glazed brick structures on a dressed stone foundation.</p><br>
<p>The Woodmen Hall/Opera House (108 South Main) Concord&#39;s Opera House is a two-story, false front, brick Italianate structure noted for its three oculus windows and massive fieldstone foundation.</p><br>
<p>Hamlin Tyler House (205 South Main) Built in 1847, this one-and-one-half-story coursed cobblestone house with a mansard roof house is the only cobblestone structure in Concord, and one of only about fifty such houses in Michigan.</p><br>
<p>Spratt House (303 South Main) This two-story Italianate structure was constructed in 1876 for William Harvey Spratt, Jr., a successful commission grain dealer.</p><br>
<p>Goodwin House (214 Homer) This one-story Greek Revival house with a second-story monitor was constructed in the 1850s for William Goodwin and his wife Mary (Granger) Goodwin.</p><br>
<p>Universalist Church (200 Hanover) The First Universalist Church (1866) is a New England–style church with box pews and two aisles. It was built by a Universalist Society formed by 13 families in 1854, which first met in the Paddock-Hubbard House.</p><br>
<p>First Presbyterian Church (201 Hanover) This church was constructed in 1911, using the original stone foundation of an earlier church that burned in 1909.</p><br>
<p>Mann House (205 Hanover) A two-and-one-half-story cross-gabled Eastlake structure constructed in 1883-84 by local architect/builder Thomas McKenzie.</p><br>
<p>Paddock-Hubbard House (317 Hanover) This one-story Greek Revival house with a second-story monitor was constructed in 1846 by the same builders who constructed the Goodwin House.</p><br>
<p>Chapple House (436 Hanover) This house was built in 1890 for Percy Chapple by Thomas McKenzie, and is similar in style to the Mann House.</p><br>

<p>The West End Church of Christ Silver Point is a folk vernacular brick church in the unincorporated community of Silver Point, Tennessee, United States. A primarily African-American Church of Christ congregation has met at the church continuously since its construction in 1915. In 2007, the church was added to the National Register of Historic Places for its role in the history of the Upper Cumberland region.</p><br>
<p>The church is rooted in the Silver Point Christian Institute, a mission school established largely through the efforts of Churches of Christ evangelists George Phillip Bowser (1874&ndash;1950) and Marshall Keeble. Along with providing badly needed education facilities to the Upper Cumberland&#39;s small African-American population, the school published the Christian Echo, a Church of Christ newsletter circulated nationwide. In spite of early financial struggles, the school, with the help of Nashville minister David Lipscomb and philanthropist A. M. Burton, managed to survive until 1959. The church, built for the mission school community in 1915, has remained in operation to the present, however.</p><br>
<h2>Location</h2><br>
<p>The West End Church of Christ Silver Point is located along Center Hill Dam Road (State Highway 141) in the western half of Silver Point, a rural community scattered around the intersection of State Highway 141, State Highway 56, and Interstate 40, about halfway between Cookeville and Smithville. Along with the church, the property includes a modern cemetery and a small monument commemorating the church&#39;s establishment. Like most of the Highland Rim, the area is rugged and hilly.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In the late-19th and early-20th centuries, education opportunities for the small African-American population of the Upper Cumberland were scarce. In his book The Souls of Black Folk, author W. E. B. Du Bois wrote of the primitive conditions of a black schoolhouse at nearby Alexandria, where he taught class while a student at Fisk University in the 1880s. In 1909, after delivering a sermon at the Laurel Hill Church of Christ in Nashville, evangelist George Phillip Bowser was approached by fellow Church of Christ ministers Sam Womack and Alexander Campbell with a request to establish a church at Silver Point. Bowser agreed on the condition that he also be allowed to establish a mission school for the area&#39;s African-American children, which was granted.</p><br>
<p>In late 1909, Bowser opened what was initially known as the Putnam County Normal and Industrial Orphanage at Silver Point. Womack, Campbell, and another Church of Christ official named Henry Clay served as the schools first board of directors. Students paid between fifty cents and one dollar per month for tuition, and six dollars per month for room and board. Operating costs were augmented by the sale of produce grown in the schools 8 acre garden, and by the sale of wagons built by Clay and several students. The school also published the Christian Echo, a Church of Christ newsletter founded by Bowser in 1903, and shipped the newsletter to subscribers across the country.</p><br>
<p>In spite of efforts to reduce operating costs, the school struggled financially. One of the school&#39;s teachers, Annie Tuggle, asked Nashville educator and minister David Lipscomb for help, and Lipscomb turned to Nashville insurance magnate A. M. Burton, who agreed to provide financial assistance. In 1913, the school became the Silver Point Christian Institute, which taught grades 1 through 8. With better financing, a new frame building was constructed in 1915 by P. H. Black, an African-American architect from Nashville. The building was used by both the school and the West End Church of Christ congregation, the latter founded in 1915.</p><br>
<p>Bowser resigned as the schools principal in 1918 due to frustrations over lack of steady financial support for the school. He later founded schools in Michigan and Texas, and continued publishing the Christian Echo (the newsletter is still in publication today). Classes continued at the West End Church until 1959, when the schools students were bused to Putnam Countys public schools. The churchs congregation, however, still meets regularly.</p><br>
<h2>Design</h2><br>
<p>The West End Church of Christ Silver Point is an example of a simple, rural church with an African-American folk vernacular design. The structure is a rectangular brick structure with a concrete foundation and a gabled, asphalt-shingled roof. The church&#39;s south wall contains a covered porch and the double-door main entrance. The north wall once contained two rear doors, but these have been sealed. The east and west walls both contain four windows topped by brick arches. The top of the south wall contains a block of concrete which may have at one time held a stone inscribed with the name of the church or school.</p><br>
<p>The churchs interior follows a basic floor plan, with two sets of pews divided by a central aisle leading to the pulpit. In accordance with the congregations understanding of Scripture that musical instruments are not authorized by the New Testament for use in worship, there is no piano or organ to be found. The pews are not original, but were retrieved from another church building. The pulpit is flanked by two rooms that serve as a Sunday school classrooms. In the 1970s, the walls were covered with wooden paneling, and acoustical tiles were added to the ceiling.</p><br>
<p>A granite monument commemorating the founding of the church and its predecessor, the Silver Point Christian Institute, stands near the entrance to the church&#39;s driveway. A modern cemetery is located behind the church.</p><br>
<p>Cameron Estate is one of the five summer homes of President Abraham Lincoln&#39;s Secretary of War, Simon Cameron and his family from 1872 to 1959.</p><br>
<p>Often once referred to as "Donegal" by the Camerons, the Estate is located in Mount Joy in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Stephenson Years (1738–1785)</p><br>
<p>The Cameron Estate started out as a 314 acre tract of land north of and adjoining the Donegal Presbyterian Church and was part of the churchs glebe (acreage set aside for the support of the church). James Stephenson acquired the property in 1738 from the William Penn land grant and received a patent (deed) in 1749. The land passed to James son Nathaniel. As Nathaniel died without issue, the property passed to his sister Hannah Stevenson (great-great grandmother of President McKinley). Ann Stephenson, Hannah&#39;s sister, married into the Watson Family whose son David Watson, grandson of James Stephenson, was deeded the property in 1780. David Watson was a prominent patriot, and a justice of the Court of Common Pleas and his two grandsons, David C. and Nathaniel, became physicians with large practices in Donegal (an unincorporated area around the Donegal Presbyterian Church not Donegal, Pennsylvania).</p><br>
<p>The Watson Years (1785–1872)</p><br>
<p>Dr. John Watson, son of David Watson, was deeded the property in 1785. Dr. John Watson owned and resided on the Cameron&#39;s "Donegal", then called the Stephenson (sometimes spelled Stevenson) farm at Donegal Springs. Dr. John Watson built the original part of the Cameron Estate farm house in 1805. At its time of construction, the "Mansion House" was the largest brick structure on the western frontier. The 1805 structure was a two-story Federal style classic four-square with a dining wing thus forming an L-shaped structure. The front porch of the farm house faced south overlooking the Donegal Presbyterian Church and Donegal Spring. The house rests on a knoll rising from Donegal creek and surrounded by ancient poplars, oaks, black walnuts, hickory and maples.</p><br>
<p>Dr. Watson owned and occupied the farm until his death, which occurred on November 16, 1843 (buried at Donegal Presbyterian Graveyard, grave No. 43).An Authentic History of Donegal Presbyterian Church Located in East Donegal Township, Lancaster Co., Pa.</p><br>
<p>J. L. Ziegler, A. M., M. D. His son, Dr. Nathaniel Watson, sold the farm to the Hon. Simon Cameron in 1872.</p><br>
<p>The Cameron Years (1872–1961)</p><br>
<p>In 1872 Cameron bought the estate which contained the red-brick farmhouse built in 1805. Simon Cameron and his family transformed it into one of the most magnificent estates in Lancaster County. The estate was one of the summer homes of Simon Cameron and was affectionately referred to as "Donegal" by the Cameron family. Simon Cameron was President Lincoln&#39;s first secretary of war and four-time United States Senator. His son, James Donald Cameron was Secretary of War to President Ulysses S. Grant and USA Senator from 1877 to 1897. Although Simon Cameron had already amassed several estates near Harrisburg prior to the Civil War, he set to work purchasing the old glebe farms surrounding the Donegal Presbyterian Church on which his grandfather and great-grandfather had worked.</p><br>
<p>Behind a pair of ornamental iron gates is what remains of the Cameron Estate (Donegal) located in rural western Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. The massive entry gates to the estate once provided access to the state capital in Harrisburg and were moved to the estate by Simon Cameron. Two sets of gates were relocated to the estate; one positioned on Mansion Lane and the other on Colebrook Road near the intersection of Donegal Springs Road and Colebrook road. At present only the pair of gates on Mansion Lane has survived. The estate is currently a 15.25 acre tract of land south of Rheems and midway between Elizabethtown and Mount Joy, Pennsylvania (GPS coordinates 40° 6’ 11” North 76° 34’ 2” West).</p><br>
<p>At its peak, the estate comprised 1,200 acre of land. In addition to purchasing numerous farms surrounding the estate, Simon Cameron purchased the state fish hatchery housed on Hoovers spring one of the group Donegal springs, for $2,000 on June 12, 1883. The purchase was for 1 acre of land, a wood framed hatchery building and the water rights to the Donegal Spring. The source of the water for the hatchery was from a spring in the basement of Michael Hoovers house a two-story red brick farmhouse. To facilitate the building of the hatchery in 1873 a stone reservoir next to the house was built to raise the water level to assist the water feed to the hatchery. Hoover Spring originates in the basement of the red brick farmhouse behind the Cameron Estate.</p><br>
<p>The current mansion is a graceful three-story barn-red-brick mansion in the Colonial Revival Federal style. It was one of Simon Camerons prized estate and occupied by his family from 1872 until 1959 when the last Cameron, Mary died. During Simon Camerons tenure, few changes were made to the farm house and it was not until his son James Donald Cameron (Don Cameron) acquired the house was it enlarged to its current size of over 12,500 ft&sup2;.</p><br>
<p>Don Cameron set out to transform the house and in 1889 removed the roof and added the third floor and expanded its footprint northward. It is purported that Don Camerons second wife, Elizabeth "Lizzie" Tucumpsen Sherman, was not pleased with the house as it was not grand enough for her liking and status. While the fashion of the time was to add mansard roofs, Don Cameron kept the Federal style but unified the house with Colonial Revival embellishments. Of particular note is the addition of the stylized "Pennsylvania Keystone" above the windows on the West side of the mansion. The last expansion was completed in 1914. While the grandeur of the house was enhanced, the smell from the barn on the west side of the house was found to be most offensive to Dons second wife, and therefore the barn was dismantled and moved to another part of the farm. The barnyard yard was then filled in and a rose garden planted.</p><br>
<p>“Donegal” was a working farm with the major crops being tobacco and watercress. In addition to crops J. Don Cameron bred award-winning Trotting Horses, Thoroughbreds and Welsh ponies for show and racing. Don Cameron planted 100 acre in blue grass to breed his Thoroughbreds.</p><br>
<p>The estate currently has five remaining buildings, underground armory, and a water tower. The buildings still present are the main house, summer kitchen, carriage barn, tool shed and pump house. An old drawing of the estate shows several other buildings whose remains can be seen during the summer when the foundations heat up and burn through the grass.</p><br>
<p>The main house was built in 1805 and expanded over the many years to its current size of approximately 12,500 ft&sup2;. The house was a private residence until Mary Cameron, Camerons granddaughter, estate sold 15.25 acre of the property to Elizabethtown College in 1961. The college used the property for many purposes. It served as a dormitory for men on the Deans List and a school for special needs children. In 1975 Mrs. G. Howland Chase, a great granddaughter of Simon Cameron funded a restoration of the mansion which Elizabethtown College uses as a conference center with lodging in the mansion. The mansion was converted into a country inn in 1981 by Lancaster County culinary celebrity Betty Groff along with her husband Abe. The Groff&#39;s sold the inn in 1996.</p><br>
<p>The summer kitchen sits 15 ft north of the mansion. The wood-frame structure with a slate was expanded to include an office and converted to owner&#39;s quarters in the 1980s.</p><br>
<p>The carriage house located 100 yards from the mansion once housed Mary Cameron&#39;s Packard car collection and in the attic was the chauffeur’s residence. The carriage house was converted to a conference center in the 1975 restoration. In 2002 the carriage house was renovated and is now the wedding reception venue capable of seating 250 guests.</p><br>
<p>The tool shed, 18 by 35 feet was just west of the carriage barn and was incorporated into the carriage barn.</p><br>
<p>A unique pump house for its time sits across the creek northeast of the mansion. When the 10 ft by 10 ft building was built in 1889, it was constructed in a new experimental technique, poured-in-place concrete. The window sills and corbels are of stone and the floor, walls and flat roof are all poured-in-place concrete. The pump house sits atop a seep cistern where a gas fired piston pump transported the water to a massive water tower located on the ridge above the property. The water then gravity fed back to the house as its water supply.</p><br>
<p>North of the kitchen is an underground armory built by James Donald Cameron while he was Secretary of War under U. S. Grant. Cameron Estate was headquarters for Don Cameron when he was in Pennsylvania and while he hosted U. S. Grant. Since they both frequented the property, an armory was needed to store munitions for the troops protecting the President. The entrance faces north toward the creek with a roof height of three to four feet. Upon Mary Cameron&#39;s death in 1959, the "Cameron Estate" was dissolved and sold as nine separate farms.</p><br>
<p>The Elizabethtown College Years (1961–1981)</p><br>
<p>The house was a private residence of Mary Cameron until the 15.25 acres of the property was sold by Mary Camerons estate to Elizabethtown College 15.25 acre in 1961. The college used the property for many purposes. Charles Baugher, president of the college, designated the property for faculty and student housing, while hosting a satellite campus for special education in collaboration with the Downingtown Special School. It served as a dormitory for men on the Deans List and a school for special needs children. In 1975 Mrs. G. Howland Chase, a great granddaughter of Simon Cameron funded a restoration of the mansion. Elizabethtown College used it as a conference center with lodging in the mansion. The mansion was converted into a country inn in 1981 by Lancaster County culinary celebrity Betty Groff and her husband, Abe. Betty and Abe Groff sold the inn in 1996.</p><br>
<h2>The current state of the estate</h2><br>
<p>Today his home has been transformed into the Cameron Estate Inn, which presents a world of perfect solitude with its giant shade trees of hemlock, oak and maple, spring gardens of irises, peonies and bleeding hearts and a walled rose garden. An old stone bridge built in 1875 arches over a meandering stream that bisects the 15 acre estate.</p><br>
<p>Visitors at the Cameron Estate Inn may wander the beautifully landscaped grounds of the Inn and those of the historic Donegal Scottish Presbyterian Church. Outside the gates, one can saunter along an avenue of towering maples planted by Cameron, who got wind of the imminent passage of a bill encouraging farmers to beautify the roads by offering $2 for each tree planted. He proceeded to plant thousands on the roads leading to Donegal, only to find the new law stipulated that the trees had to be inside one&#39;s fences.</p><br>
<p>James Donald Cameron, who expanded the mansion to its present scale, succeeded his father as senator and served as Secretary of War under President Ulysses S. Grant; James McCormick Cameron, grandson and president of the Cameron&#39;s Dauphin Deposit Bank; and Mary Cameron, granddaughter, civic benefactor and last of the clan, all made their contributions to the family homestead. No major exterior alterations have been made since 1918.</p><br>
<p>James Donald Cameron, the eldest son of Simon Cameron and U. S. Grant&#39;s Secretary of War, died at Donegal on August 30, 1918.</p><br>
<p>The Old Main Street Historic District in Racine, Wisconsin is an area including a section of Main Street and which is roughly bounded by Second St., Lake Ave., Fifth St., and Wisconsin Ave. It is a 17 acre area with elements dating back to 1847. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.</p><br>
<p>In 1987, it included 73 buildings deemed to contribute to the historic character of the area, most built during the 1879s to 1920s, and 22 non-contributing buildings. It comprises portions of eight blocks.</p><br>
<p>A sample of buildings:</p><br>
<p>The Durand and Hill Block at 246 Main St. was built around 1849. It was designed by Lucas Bradley, Racine&#39;s first architect, and may have originally been Greek Revival-styled. But it was damaged in the fire of 1882 and probably restyled as then-modern Italianate when it was repaired. It is three stories tall, with four pilasters framing the windows on the upper stories and with a bracket atop each pilaster supporting the elaborate pressed-metal cornice. The building initially housed offices of Henry Durand, a businessman who dealt in land, produce, lumber, coal, and shipping. He also claimed to have issued the first insurance policy in Wisconsin.</p><br>
<p>The McClurg Building at 245 Main St. was begun in 1857, and is the finest of Italianate-style buildings in the district.</p><br>
<p>The four buildings at 320, 322, 324 and 326 Main St. carry a similar design, though they had different owners and were built at different times. All are 2-stories tall, 3 bays wide, with similar cornices, and Italianate styling. The Sebastian Besick building at 320 Main was built first, in 1869, with three round-arched windows. The middle two buildings were built the following year, with very similar designs, except the upper windows are a bit smaller. They are the Peil, Ritter & Schmeisser building at 322 Main and the John Neumann building at 324 Main. The John Liegler building at 326 Main was built much later, in 1901, with smaller windows with the arches flattened.</p><br>
<p>The Henry Werner building at 327 Main St. was built in 1880, a brick saloon and tailor shop an unusual wide bay window on the second story, with accents in red sandstone against pale brick, and only a partial cornice.</p><br>
<p>The Chauncey Hall Building at 338-40 Main St. was built in 1883, a Queen Anne design by E. Townsend Mix.</p><br>
<p>The Thomas Driver and Sons Manufacturing Company at 214 State St. was built in 1888, a cream brick sash and door factory.</p><br>
<p>The F.J. Mrvicka Saloon at 231 Main St. was built in 1891 by the Pabst Brewing Company to promote their beer. It was designed by Arnold Heinen in Queen Anne style, with a wooden bay window on each side of the second story, each bay topped with a pagoda-like roof curving up to a dormer and weather vane. The gable between is elaborately decorated. In the 1920s the facade was reworked in a half-timbered style to fit the German restaurant that operated there.</p><br>
<p>The Miller Brewing Company Saloon, just down the street at 237 Main St., was built in 1902 in Romanesque Revival style, and may be little changed from when it was built.</p><br>
<p>The Shoop Building at 222 Main St. was designed by James Gilbert Chandler and built from 1893 to 1902 for Dr. Clarendon I. Shoop, whose patent medicines were sold around the world until passage of the Pure Food and Drug Act in 1906.</p><br>
<p>The Hugh Gorton Building at 400 Main St. was probably designed by James Gilbert Chandler. His offices operated out of the second floor from 1899 to 1918. Before that, Hugh Gorton ran a butcher shop at this location. The building later housed a hat shop.</p><br>
<p>The Martin M. Secor Building at 239-41 Main St. was built in 1904, a 4-story red brick building with stone trim designed by A.L. Flegel to complement the McClurg building, which Secor then owned next door.</p><br>
<p>The Racine Fire Department Engine House No. 5 at 300 Fourth St. was designed by Albert Arthur Guilbert and built in 1907, two stories with a four-story corner watch-tower. Its horizontal lines suggest Prairie Style.</p><br>
<p>The YMCA building at 217 Fourth St., built in 1915, was also designed by Guilbert, showing some Prairie Style elements in a massive 4-story building.</p><br>
<p>The Manufacturer&#39;s National Bank at 440 Main St. was remodeled in 1919 to a Neoclassical white marble facade.</p><br>
<p>The Second Journal Printing Company Building at 212 Fourth St. is a 2-story building designed by Lambert Bassindale with rectangular Prairie Style lines and geometric designs and arrays of Chicago-style windows.</p><br>
<p>Zahn&#39;s Building at 500 Monument Square is a 4-story department store designed by Edmund Bailey Funston in Chicago Commercial style with prominent arrays of windows and built in 1924.</p><br>
<p>The Paramount Radio Stores Building at 318 Main St. had its facade remodeled in 1929, skinned over with pink glazed terra cotta tiles topped with a fake mansard roof of green Spanish tile.</p><br>
<p>The White Tower Restaurant at 235 Main St was built by a restaurant chain of the same name, a one story with a 1.5-story tower on the corner, all covered with white glazed brick. The restaurant served short-order food from this building 24 hours a day from construction in 1929 until 1964.</p><br>
<p>The Downtown Main Street Historic District is a national historic district located at North Wilkesboro, Wilkes County, North Carolina. It encompasses 29 contributing buildings in the central business district of North Wilkesboro. It developed between about 1891 and 1952, and includes notable examples of Classical Revival and Early Commercial style architecture. The architectural firm Benton & Benton designed the former Bank of North Wilkesboro II , the Hotel Wilkes , and the former Town Hall . Other notable buildings include the Liberty Theater , former Bank of North Wilkesboro , and Tomlinson Department Store .</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2003.</p><br>
<p>The Chapel of the Cross is a historic Episcopal church in the Mannsdale area of Madison, Mississippi. The brick structure was built circa 1850–52 by enslaved people. It is noted for its Gothic Revival architecture, which draws heavily from 14th-century English country churches. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1972.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The church was originally conceived as a house of worship for the Johnstone family on their Annandale Plantation, now destroyed. John T. Johnstone migrated from North Carolina to Madison County, Mississippi, in 1819 and established Annandale and other forced-labor farms. Tradition maintains that Johnstone was descended from the Johnstone family that once held the title Earl of Annandale and Hartfell in the Peerage of Scotland and that he named his plantation in their honor. He had envisioned a chapel for the plantation, but died in 1848. After his death his widow Margaret began making plans for the construction of the church.</p><br>
<p>Almost no primary records for the construction of the church survive, but it is commonly believed by architectural scholars that English-born architect Frank Wills designed the Chapel of the Cross for Margaret Johnstone. What is certain is that a sketch by Wills of an almost identical church, entitled "Sketch of a First-pointed church," appeared in the October 1849 issue of the New York Ecclesiologist. Practically identical churches by Richard Upjohn are also known, such as his St. Thomas Episcopal Church (c.1849) in New York City and St. Mary&#39;s Episcopal Church (c.1847) in Rhode Island. Johnstone had much of the work on the church performed by people who were enslaved by her and imprisoned on her plantation Slavery in the United States; they made all of the bricks by hand on-site. The rest of the construction was handled by hired artisans, with Johnstone spending a total of $3,000. She deeded the church and 10 acre to the Episcopal Diocese of Mississippi in June 1851. The building was consecrated on September 19, 1852, by William Mercer Green, the first Episcopal bishop of Mississippi.</p><br>
<p>Margaret Johnstone died in 1880 and her plantation was sold. The grand three-story, 40-room Italianate-style Annandale mansion, built by her in the mid-1850s, was unoccupied for some time and burned down on September 9, 1924.</p><br>
<p>After Johnstone&#39;s death, the diocese alternated between using the church and keeping it inactive. It declared the parish extinct in 1903. Margaret Britton Parsons, a granddaughter of John and Margaret Johnstone, persuaded the diocese to reactivate the church as a house of worship in 1911, and it was restored to the diocese in 1914. Since that time, priests have taken charge of operations. The diocese started a restoration of the chapel in 1956. In 1979, a few years after the addition of the church to the National Register of Historic Places, the United States Department of the Interior awarded a $50,000 grant to finish the restoration.</p><br>
<h2>Folklore</h2><br>
<p>The church has a ghost story associated with it that has been chronicled in two books and one booklet. The Chapel of the Cross and Annandale are featured in the short story, "The Ghosts of Annandale", in Jeffrey introduces 13 more Southern ghosts by Kathryn Tucker Windham. It details two distinct ghost stories. The first is that of Annie Devlin, a former governess who died at the Annandale mansion in June 1860 and was purported to haunt it until the night it burned in 1924. The second is that of Helen Johnstone and her fiancé, Henry Grey Vick. Helen, the youngest daughter of John and Margaret, and Henry, descended from the founder of Vicksburg, met at her sisters home, Ingleside, in December 1855. They became engaged to be married in 1857, with the day set for May 21, 1859. Vick was subsequently killed in a duel in Mobile, Alabama on May 17, 1859. His body was brought back to Annandale and buried in the churchyard to the rear of the church. It is claimed in the story that the ghost of Helen now weeps at his grave. The same folklore is repeated in Norman and Scotts Historic Haunted America and again in Jan Warner&#39;s booklet Shadows of a Chapel.</p><br>
<p>Central Warehouse is a small warehouse 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 warehouse was built in 1929 for George E. Chandler. The architectural design, construction technique, and its historic integrity make this structure one of the best examples of a warehouse in the city. It was listed on the NRHP August 17, 1982. The Old GreekTown station served by Utah Transit Authority&#39;s TRAX light rail trains in the middle of the street (200 south) in front of it.</p><br>
<p>Central YMCA is an historic building in the Central neighborhood on the east side of Cleveland, Ohio. It was designed by the Cleveland architectural firm Hubbell & Benes and constructed for use as a residential building in 1911 by YMCA of Greater Cleveland. The building served as one of the locations used by Cleveland YMCA School of Technology, which eventually became Fenn College and ultimately Cleveland State University 1964. Added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1984, Central YMCA building was purchased by Cleveland State University in September 2009 and later renovated for use as student apartments. In 2015, the building was purchased by Asset Student Housing and is now known as The Domain at Cleveland.</p><br>
<p>Blennerhassett Hotel is a historic hotel located at Parkersburg, Wood County, West Virginia. It opened in 1889 and is in the Queen Anne style. The hotel was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982. A full restoration took place in 1986. </p><br>
<p>In the late 1800s, money from the oil and natural gas industries flooded into Parkersburg, West Virginia, and the town quickly became a vivacious city that welcomed businessmen and visitors from all over the country. Designed and built by William Chancellor, a prominent Parkersburg businessman, Blennerhassett opened in 1889 and quickly became a grand showplace for what would later be known as the Gaslight Era. The original hotel had approximately 50 guest rooms around a central staircase. Restrooms were common places on each of the four guest floors and the kitchen was located on the fifth floor. What is now the hotel&#39;s game room originally housed the First National Bank of Parkersburg and had the luxury of electricity.</p><br>
<p>The property was named after Harman and Margaret Blennerhassett, who settled on an island in the Ohio River in 1798 and built a Palladian mansion on their European-style estate (the island now called Blennerhassett Island). Their property was the envy of all locals, but they didn&#39;t rise to national fame until they allowed former Vice President Aaron Burr to use the island as the base of operations for his controversial military exhibition. Labeled as a conspiracy by some, the Blennerhassetts fled down the Ohio River to escape when militia invaded the island.</p><br>
<p>Spirit House, also known as Timothy Brown House or Brown&#39;s Hall, is a historic home located at Georgetown in Madison County, New York. It was built about 1865 and is essentially a square, wood-frame structure. The exterior features two-by-fours arranged vertically and scalloped at regular intervals. The use of the scallop pattern gives the Spirit House a highly textured surface and it is almost impossible to discern how it is constructed without close inspection. It also features a three tiered cornice with downward pointing keys. It was constructed as a residence and for meetings of Spiritualists in a large hall on the second floor.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2006.</p><br>
<p>Wheeler House Complex is a historic home and commercial structures located at Leonardsville in Madison County, New York. The complex consists of the Weheeler House and bank, the carriage house, and the Wheeler commercial block. The Wheeler House was built in 1874 and is a -story, frame building with an engaged octagonal tower in the Italianate style. The Wheeler Block was also built in 1874 and is a 2-story frame structure with pedimented gable ends.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>

<p>Thomas Swift House, 243 High Street (c.1820), a five-bay brick I-house with Federal style</p><br>
<p>Waynesville Academy, 185 N. Main St. (1844)</p><br>
<p>The Houserville Site is an archaeological site located near State College in Centre County, Pennsylvania, United States. Used as a stone workshop by prehistoric Native Americans ten thousand years ago, it has been recognized as a prime candidate for prehistoric preservation.</p><br>
<h2>Location</h2><br>
<p>Located in College Township near the community of Houserville, the site lies on the summit and sides of a knoll above Slab Cabin Run. Before white settlement of the Nittany Valley, areas such as the Houserville Site were typically occupied by hardwood forests, but the site has been cultivated since the nineteenth century. Recent decades have seen increasing development in the Houserville vicinity and a consequent reduction in agriculture.</p><br>
<h2>Excavation</h2><br>
<p>In 1978, an archaeological survey conducted by Pennsylvania State University identified the Houserville Site, along with several other sites along Slate Cabin Run. Excavation at the site began in 1979 under the supervision of a Pennsylvania State anthropologist; initial work concluded that it was once the site of a lithic reduction workshop during the Early and Middle Archaic periods; the site is believed to have been used between 8000 and 3500 BC. It is believed that yellow jasper, often called "Bald Eagle Jasper," was mined and heated at Tudek before being transported to Houserville, approximately 1.5 km to the east.</p><br>
<h2>Conclusions</h2><br>
<p>Post excavation analysis of the Houserville Site concentrated on discoveries such as projectile points, stone tools such as scrapers and drills, and over seven hundred lithic flakes. It was concluded that the sites were typically occupied by transient groups primarily engaged in recovering and processing Bald Eagle Jasper. The Tudek and Houserville sites were clearly used for different purposes: while a wide range of tools and flakes was discovered at Houserville, such objects were noticeably absent from Tudek. The presence of these objects has been understood to indicate that groups camping at the site engaged in activities aside from stoneworking, such as hunting and the processing of animal hides.</p><br>
<p>Pennsylvania State University archaeologists have concluded that the information gathered from the Houserville Site is key to understanding central Pennsylvanias Archaic period. Objects made of Bald Eagle Jasper have been discovered at many locations in the region; consequently, the identification of the source of this type of stone may clarify the nature of the areas trade routes. Moreover, access to these sites may enable archaeologists to understand better the limitations of Bald Eagle Jasper and the reasons for its abandonment by later cultures. Finally, as cultural changes typically accompanied advances in lithic technology in early Native American societies, the evidence provided by the Houserville Site may clarify the development of Early and Middle Archaic society in central Pennsylvania.</p><br>
<p>In 1986, the Houserville Site was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in recognition of its archaeological value, four years after the Tudek Site was accorded a similar status.</p><br>
<p>Hascall Hall is a historic institutional building located on the campus of Colgate University at Hamilton in Madison County, New York. It was built in 1884 and is a two-story stone building with brick trim measuring 40 feet by 70 feet. An addition was completed in 1906. The original section features a hipped roof of slate, eyebrow windows, and a large semicircular archway entrance.</p><br>
<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1973 as the Old Biology Hall. It shares its Richardsonian Romanesque architectural style with the Colgate Administration Building.</p><br>
<p>Probably the most significant science student ever to attend classes in this building, referred to commonly as "Old Bio", was Oswald Avery, class of 1900, who discovered that DNA was responsible for the transference of genetic information while later working on carefully executed experiments at the Rockefeller Institute on specimens of pneumonia found in victims of the 1918 flu outbreak. Although not well known for his work, he is credited with one of the most significant discoveries of the 20th century. Many people confuse Crick and Watson with the discovery of DNA, but in fact they discovered the helical structure and not the existence and purpose of DNA.</p><br>
<p>After Olin hall was built at the end of the Colgate quadrangle for the biological sciences, "Old Bio" was used as an art studio in the 1970s. It was slated for demolition in 1975 but students protested around the rallying cry "Save Old Bio." T-shirts for protesters to wear during protests were printed in the "Old Bio" art studios. The protests were successful and the building was preserved. The interior was later renovated, converted back into small classrooms, and renamed Hascall Hall. The building is now home to Colgate&#39;s Philosophy department.</p><br>
<p>The Greensburg Downtown Historic District is a national historic district located at Greensburg, Decatur County, Indiana.

The building was later used as the Bergen Station Post Office for 50 years before being converted to residential use.</p><br>
<p>The Downtown Commercial Historic District in Muscatine, Iowa is a historic district that was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2006. At that time, it included 93 contributing buildings, one other contributing object, and 18 non-contributing buildings. The city of Muscatine was established as Bloomington in 1836. The original town was built on land that is generally flat along the Mississippi River. Residential areas were located on the surrounding hills. Commercial and industrial interests developed on the flatter land near the river. Muscatines commercial and industrial center had developed in a 12-block area along Front Street, now Mississippi Drive, and 2nd Street between Pine Street and Mulberry Street by 1874. This area, represented by the Downtown Commercial Historic District, is the citys original commercial area. Within its boundaries is a large number of 19th-century commercial buildings, many of which were modified in the first half of the 20th century.</p><br>
<h2>Contributing properties</h2><br>
<p>Contributing buildings include:</p><br>
<p>Trinity Episcopal Church (already individually listed on the National Register),</p><br>
<p>Welch Apartments (already individually listed on the National Register),</p><br>
<p>The Hotel Muscatine (1914–15), 101 W. Mississippi Drive, an expensive-in-its-time building, funded in part by a large number of citizens who bought its common stock. It is a seven-story building designed by architect Paul V. Hyland which was the tallest in Muscatine until the 1970s.</p><br>
<p>The Laurel Building (1916–17), 101 E. 2nd Street, a six-story combination department store and office building, also designed by Paul V. Hyland, which was for a long time the "other" tall building in downtown Muscatine.</p><br>
<p>Muscatine City Hall (1914), a building for city offices designed by Detroit architect Joseph E. Mills, who had previously designed the district-adjacent Muscatine County Courthouse (1909) and Muscatine County Jail (1909).</p><br>

<p>First Baptist Church (1923), 224 E. 3rd Street, adjacent to the 1914 City Hall, built in style and material similar to the Masonic Temple.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<h3>The Civil War in Downtown Bowling Green</h3><br>
<p>The Civil War is an integral part of the history of Bowling Green and its downtown commercial district. Due to Bowling Greens strategic location along the Barren River, and its regional economic and industrial power, it was a coveted city by both the Confederates and the Union. Kentucky was a hotly contested state due to its pro-slavery policies, but refusal to secede. Furthermore, its location right on the border between the Confederacy and the Union made it an instant war zone. Early in the war, a large Confederate force marched into downtown Bowling Green and began fortifying the city. Eventually, over 20,000 Confederate soldiers arrived at the downtown train depot and garrisoned the city. The soldiers fortified hills on the edge of downtown, and spent a great deal of time ensuring the city would not fall to Union invaders. Soldiers even converted Hobson Grove, a mansion at the edge of downtown, into a fort with a large storage of ammunition, weapons, and munitions for troops. The occupying Confederate forces, so confident in the towns defenses, dubbed it "The Gibraltar of the West". Businesses, such as taverns, restaurants, and even brothels catered to the occupying forces, who spent their wages on food, drink, and comfort in these downtown establishments. Downtown Bowling Green was eventually made into the Confederate Capitol of Kentucky, despite the local populations pro-Union preference, and a Confederate government was established and operated out of the downtown district. Unfortunately for the rebels, Union victories at Mill Springs and Columbus forced the Confederates to retreat from the town, as they would have been surrounded if they had stayed. The Confederates destroyed much of downtowns infrastructure as they left, dealing a great blow to the local economy in the process. Union troops entered the town after the Confederates left in 1862, and they remained there for the rest of the war. The Civil War, though it destroyed much of the downtowns infrastructure and economy, eventually paved the way for the town to rebuild, and gave the town a metaphorical "blank slate" to start anew.</p><br>
<h3>The Post-War Decades</h3><br>
<p>After the aforementioned destruction of industry, such as the railroad tracks, buildings of potential military relevance, and munitions storages, downtown Bowling Green needed to rebuild. Residents came together, and in conjunction with the industrial revolution that swept the United States, quickly rebuilt and expanded upon the economy and infrastructure of downtown. Around this time, a new train depot was built, the railroads were repaired, and new businesses sprung up after the expansion of the Louisville-Nashville railroad during the war years. Furthermore, more railroad routes that passed through Bowling Green were added to the existing Louisville-Nashville routes, which increased Bowling Green&#39;s reputation as a railroad hub. Now that civilians were riding the railroads again, they needed places to stop and rest. Bowling Green was the perfect place for this to occur, and inns and places of recreation for travelers passing by sprung up all over downtown Bowling Green. Furthermore, the economic expansion of Bowling Green was even more exaggerated with the arrival of more and more Americans traveling West from East coast cities. Between the end of the war and the turn of the century, downtown Bowling Green experienced an economic boom that powered it in to being the third largest city in Kentucky, and the unquestioned regional capitol of South-central Kentucky. Many of the buildings constructed during this time period remain in downtown today, and are still important to the local business market and economy.</p><br>
<h3>Western Kentucky University</h3><br>
<p>Western Kentucky University is a central part of downtown Bowling Green&#39;s continued success and growth in the 20th and 21st centuries. Formerly known as the Southern Normal School, Western Kentucky University was donated to the state and renamed to its current moniker in 1906 by its president, Henry Hardin Cherry. Western Kentucky University is now one of the largest universities in Kentucky, behind only the University of Louisville and the University of Kentucky in size. As the size of the university grew rapidly during the 20th century, it attracted more and more visitors and new residents to downtown Bowling Green. Located just blocks from the center of downtown, many restaurants, shops, and bars opened to cater to the needs of the thousands of college students that filled the streets of downtown every fall and spring. In more recent years, Western Kentucky University has even began to create classroom spaces in the middle of downtown. The business school recently opened a 5,000 square foot classroom space right next to Fountain Square, the central part of downtown. The impact of Western Kentucky University on the local economy cannot be understated. Alongside the businesses that have opened to cater to college students, downtown banks and other financial institutions have benefitted from the influx of college students seeking the services needed to navigate college life. Today, downtown and campus are nearly adjacent, with more and more integration occurring each and every year.</p><br>
<h2>Present-Day Downtown</h2><br>
<h3>Historic Buildings</h3><br>
<p>The Downtown Commercial District in Bowling Green, Kentucky is a historic district that was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979. In 1979, it included 113 buildings deemed to contribute to the historic character of the area.</p><br>

<p>The district was listed as part of a review of historic resources in Warren County.</p><br>
<h3>Notable Buildings</h3><br>
<p>Some of the more important buildings in downtown Bowling Green, both economically and aesthetically, include (but are not limited to):</p><br>
<p>The Chase Bank Building (from 1952), 500 East Main Street, regional financial center for US Bank and important contributor to downtown economy.</p><br>

<p>Bethel Academy was the first Methodist school established in the United States west of the Appalachian Mountains. Established by Francis Asbury in 1790, the school operated in present-day Jessamine County, Kentucky until 1805.</p><br>
<h2>Establishment</h2><br>
<p>In 1789, Methodists in Kentucky (then the western part of the state of Virginia) appealed to Bishop Asbury for assistance in establishing a school. Asbury promised aid conditional upon his memorialists&#39; ability to secure at least 5,000 acre of land. Accordingly, he embarked for Kentucky in the spring of 1790, reaching Lexington on the 12th of May. After meeting with local Methodists and establishing the Kentucky Conference, Asbury departed for Jessamine County.</p><br>
<p>There he met with Thomas Lewis, who donated sufficient land to found the school. With the assistance of Francis Poythress and John Metcalf, Asbury completed arrangements for the school. Founded in 1790 under the name of Bethel Academy, it was the first Methodist school in the United States west of the Appalachians, and the second in the nation.</p><br>
<h2>Years of operation</h2><br>
<p>Poythress directed the construction of the school building on the land given by Lewis. Located on bluffs overlooking a bend in the Kentucky River, near where the late-19th century High Bridge was constructed, the three-story structure sat in a prominent location. It was described by a later writer as strikingly beautiful and convenient for the establishment of a community. The school was completed in time for classes in 1794, with John Metcalf appointed as principal. The school was incorporated by an act of the Kentucky legislature in 1798. Both before and after it opened, Bethel was a center of Methodism in central Kentucky. It hosted a return visit by Asbury in 1792 (during which time he advocated for its support), and the Kentucky Conference met at the school in 1797. The school was frequently in competition with Transylvania Academy, then a Presbyterian school.</p><br>
<h2>Later history and closure</h2><br>
<p>In 1803, Principal Metcalf moved to Nicholasville in the center of the county, where he opened a school under the name of "Bethel Academy." After this time, the original Bethel was reduced to a less significant status; it continued under the oversight of Nathaniel Harris until closure in 1805.</p><br>
<p>Metcalf&#39;s school flourished for several decades, attaining renown as a private school of high quality. By the end of the nineteenth century, after years of extended agricultural depression reduced private wealth in the region, the school was turned over to the state and converted into a public school. When John Wesley Hughes established a Methodist college in the nearby community of Wilmore in 1890, his choice of the name Asbury College was partially inspired by the history of Bethel Academy.</p><br>
<p>The site of Bethel Academy was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984 as an archaeological site. This reflects the existence of the school building long after its closure; as late as 1898, the site could be found without difficulty. Its ruins were still easily visible.</p><br>
<p>Edwin A. Stevens Hall is located in Hoboken, Hudson County, New Jersey, United States. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on February 4, 1994. It was designed by Richard Upjohn and built in 1870. It was named after Edwin Augustus Stevens and used as the main building for the Stevens Institute of Technology. The renowned DeBaun Auditorium, which is over 100 years old, is located in this building. The building is currently used as the Charles V. Schaefer, Jr. School of Engineering and Science.</p><br>
<p>The Mine No. 5 Store  is a historic department store located in Van Lear, Kentucky, United States. On January 26, 1989, the structure was added to the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>Currently, the building is owned by Herman Webb, the brother of country music star, Loretta Lynn. Tourists can also receive a tour of the childhood home of Loretta Lynn and Crystal Gayle by stopping at the store. Admission is five dollars per person.</p><br>
<p>The South Congregational Church is a former Congregational and United Church of Christ church building complex located on the intersection of Court and President Streets in Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn, New York City. The complex consisting of a church, original chapel, ladies parlor, and rectory was designated a city landmark by the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission on March 23, 1982. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on November 4, 1982.</p><br>
<p>The chapel was built 1851 and the church in 1857. The ladies parlor was built in 1889 to designs by English-American architect Frederick Charles Merry (d.1900) and the rectory building in 1893 to designs by architect Woodruff Leeming. The church is noteworthy as one of Brooklyn&#39;s finest examples of the Early Romanesque Revival architectural style. The designers of the chapel and church remain unknown. In 1874, the Rev. Dr. Albert Josiah Lyman became pastor, and served for 41 years.</p><br>
<p>The location is believed to have been selected by the famous preacher and abolitionist Henry Ward Beecher, brother of author Harriet Beecher Stowe. In the 1980s, as an example of adaptive reuse, the interior of the church complex was converted to apartments and offices.</p><br>
<p>The Geiser Grand Hotel is a historic hotel in Baker City, Oregon, that opened in 1889. It received a restoration and reopened in 1993 after closing in 1968. Decorations include mahogany columns up to a high ceiling, Victorian-style chandeliers, and a stained glass ceiling. It was known as "the Queen of the Mines" during Gold Rush times and described as being the finest hotel between Portland, Oregon and Salt Lake City with the third elevator built west of the Mississippi River.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The hotel was built in an Italianate Victorian architecture style designed by architect John Bennes, and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places as a contributing property within the Baker Historic District. Originally named Hotel Warshauer for hotel proprietor Louis F Cook. the hotel opened in November 1889. According to Oregon Encyclopedia, Bennes made "modifications" to the hotel and didn&#39;t arrive in Baker until 1900. An original postcard of the hotel states that the hotel was built and owned by the Baker Brothers. According to the Oregonian newspaper, Mr. Geiser bought the hotel in 1900 and in 1901 planned "another story" (which obviously was not built), a reconstructed interior, and the installation of all the latest conveniences and appliances. The hotel was renamed and reopened on January 1, 1902 with the name Geiser Grand Hotel. Information on what modifications Bennes made has not been found, all sources give Bennes complete credit for the building.</p><br>
<h2>Hotel occurrences and stories</h2><br>
<p>A 1906 story in the Reading Eagle titled Baker City Has No Poor gave an account with the hotel as a setting, with the story concluding that "Baker City was the most fortunate place in the country."</p><br>
<p>In 1959 a clerk helped apprehend a pair of robbers at the hotel by complaining of arthritis and getting the robbers to tie her up loosely and then freeing herself to call the police as they left. Country music singer Presley Wayne Spriet gave his last performance at the hotel the night before his death in 1997.</p><br>
<p>Based on various reported sightings, the hotel may be haunted.</p><br>
<p>Bennes is believed to have come from Bohemian stock, although he may have been born in Peru, Illinois, and came to Baker City from Chicago ca. 1900 and designed several other buildings in the area before moving to Portland.</p><br>
<p>Amstel House, also known as Dr. Finney House, is a preserved building in New Castle, Delaware, United States, built in the 1730s. The decline of New Castle in the 19th century meant that many owners of homes could no longer afford to make changes to them, which is why so many buildings were preserved. That changed, however, when New Castle was "rediscovered" during the Colonial Revival phase of the 1920s and 1930s and old buildings began to be torn down and replaced by new construction.</p><br>
<p>In 1931, to protect New Castles heritage, a group of concerned citizens raised funds to buy the Amstel House, which faced an uncertain fate. This was the towns first formal preservation effort. Shortly thereafter the group evolved into the New Castle Historical Society which, in the 75 years that have followed, has worked closely with the city and other civic organizations to save, preserve and restore many of the town&#39;s historic architectural treasures.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1977.</p><br>
<p>The Tudek Site is an archaeological site located near State College in Centre County, Pennsylvania, United States. Used as a stone quarry by prehistoric Native Americans ten thousand years ago, it has been recognized as a prime candidate for prehistoric preservation.</p><br>
<h2>Location</h2><br>
<p>Located in College Township west of the community of Houserville, the site lies in rolling hills along Orchard Road. Before white settlement of the Nittany Valley, areas such as the Tudek Site were typically occupied by hardwood forests, but the site has been cultivated since the nineteenth century. Recent decades have seen increasing development in the Houserville vicinity and a consequent reduction in agriculture.</p><br>
<h2>Excavation</h2><br>
<p>In 1978, an archaeological survey conducted by Pennsylvania State University identified multiple sites along and above Slab Cabin Run, With the pressure of anticipated highway construction through the site, an archaeological investigation at the site began in May 1980; its findings included a wide range of types of jasper of a type known as "Bald Eagle Jasper." Two months later, a more detailed excavation commenced; it revealed a very high concentration of approximately 350 artifacts per cubic meter. Tudek has been dated to the Early and Middle Archaic periods, or approximately 8000 to 3500 BC. While no dateable projectile points and stone tools were found at the site, the Houserville Site has been so dated by the presence of such artifacts, and it is believed that the two sites were used contemporaneously. It is believed that the yellow Bald Eagle Jasper was mined and heated at Tudek before being transported to Houserville, approximately 1.5 km to the east.</p><br>
<h2>Conclusions</h2><br>
<p>Post-excavation analysis of Tudek and Houserville has concluded that the sites were typically occupied by transient groups primarily engaged in recovering and processing Bald Eagle Jasper. The Tudek and Houserville sites were clearly used for different purposes: while a wide range of tools and flakes was discovered at Houserville, such objects were noticeably absent from Tudek. The presence of these objects has been understood to indicate that the Archaic peoples who used the quarries would remain at Tudek only long enough to mine their jasper before returning to their campsites at Houserville. Little processing was carried out at Tudek; the objects produced were rough stone blocks, ready for shaping elsewhere.</p><br>
<p>Pennsylvania State University archaeologists have concluded that the information gathered from the Tudek Site is key to understanding central Pennsylvanias Archaic period. Objects made of Bald Eagle Jasper have been discovered at many locations in the region; consequently, the identification of the source of this type of stone may clarify the nature of the areas trade routes. Moreover, access to these sites may enable archaeologists to understand better the limitations of Bald Eagle Jasper and the reasons for its abandonment by later cultures. Finally, as cultural changes typically accompanied advances in lithic technology in early Native American societies, the evidence provided by the Houserville Site may clarify the development of Early and Middle Archaic society in central Pennsylvania.</p><br>
<p>In 1982, the Tudek Site was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in recognition of its archaeological value. Four years later, the Houserville Site was accorded a similar status.</p><br>
<p>The J.W. Knapp Company Building is a historic five-story, 190,000 ft&sup2; Streamline Moderne building in Lansing, Michigan, United States. Designed by Orlie Munson of the Bowd–Munson Company, which also designed several other Art Deco landmarks in Lansing, including the Ottawa Street Power Station, it was constructed by the Christman Company in 1937 through 1938. The curvilinear look of the streamlined structure comes from huge plates of concrete faced with enamel, called "Maul Macotta", a copyrighted product of the Maul Macotta Company and prismatic glass brick windows. Alternating horizontal bands of yellow macotta and glass block are interrupted by vertical blue macotta pylons, rising from the building&#39;s four principal entrances. The pylons are pierced by windows. The entrance portals, display window aprons, and decorative banding are dark blue macotta. Red, yellow and blue spandrels, incorporating the letter "K" as a design element, decorate the entrance portals.</p><br>
<p>The building housed the main department store of the Lansing-based J.W. Knapp Company. When completed in 1939, it was hailed in the contemporary press as "the most modern building in the Midwest". Today, it is considered to be one of the finest intact examples of Streamline Art Moderne commercial buildings in the Midwest, notable for its size, clarity of design and brilliant colors. The western end of the building was enlarged in 1949.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on May 21, 1983.</p><br>
<p>The Eyde Company, a local developer, purchased the building in 1983, and converted most of its selling floors to state government offices, renaming it the "Knapps Center". The state offices moved out in 2003. During the holiday season, the storefront windows are used by the MSU Museum to display historic Santa Claus advertising cutouts in connection with the citys Silver Bells Parade.</p><br>
<p>Various proposals for redevelopment of the building were considered, During the 2008–2009 academic year, the Michigan State University interior design program used the redevelopment of the building as the basis for its senior thesis. Resulting proposals included a variety of commercial and residential uses.</p><br>
<p>In 2010, plans were announced to redevelop the building for mixed residential, office and commercial use, subject to obtaining necessary governmental permits and obtaining tax credits, loans and grants, with construction initially planned to commence in 2011 and to be completed in 2013. The bands of glass block which give the building an external appearance of lightness, present a barrier to redevelopment due to the lack of outside views for prospective tenants. The redevelopment proposals include cutting a four-story glass atrium covered with a skylight from the second through fifth floors to give the interior more light, as well as replacement of the Maul Macotta panels, which have suffered water damage due to a design flaw in the metal banding not apparent in 1937 when they were installed, with modern metal or concrete counterparts. Construction eventually began in December 2012, with a 14-month construction schedule and a $36.5 million budget. The construction is now completed, and the building is home to numerous offices, shops, and apartments.</p><br>
<p>The Bristol Commercial Historic District is a national historic district in Bristol, Tennessee and Bristol, Virginia.</p><br>
<p>The district encompasses 83 contributing buildings in the central business district of Bristol. The district straddles the Tennessee-Virginia border. The area was developed in the late 19th and early 20th centuries contains primarily two- and three-story masonry commercial buildings constructed from ca. 1890 to the early 1950s.

<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2003, and was slightly increased in size in 2017.</p><br>
<p>The Commercial Historic District in Potlatch, Idaho was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986. In 1986, it included seven contributing buildings and a contributing object. It includes work by architect C. Ferris White and work by A.M. Homes.</p><br>
<p>It includes seven buildings of the administrative center of historic Potlatch, which was a company town of the Potlatch Lumber Company, plus some additional objects. Specifically, it includes:</p><br>
<p>Washington. Idaho and Montana Railway Depot (1906), a two-story west-facing building, the first major building completed in Potlatch, designed by C. Ferris White</p><br>
<p>Gymnasium building (1916), a two-story frame building designed by architect A. M. Holmes, the largest building in Potlatch. South facing, with a gambrel roof, it has an open porch on its east, south, and west sides supported by 16 Doric columns.</p><br>
<p>Implement Store, a two-story frame building with a gambrel roof. Served as storage warehouse for the lumber company&#39;s Townsite Department, the maintenance department for the town.</p><br>
<p>Administrative Office (1917), a two-and-one-half-story frame building which was the main administrative office building for the lumber company, and in the 1950s became city hall.</p><br>
<p>Storage Building, a two-and-one-half-story building with a metal roof on a concrete foundation</p><br>
<p>Produce Cellar (1910 or 1911), with capacity for 25 railroad carloads, a 40 ft by 60 ft structure built into the side of a hill, with brick walls and a metal gambrel roof.</p><br>
<p>Creamery (probably 1906), a one-story building with a hipped metal roof, sided with clapboard, west-facing, adjacent to the depot building to its south.</p><br>
<p>a large boulder monument to William Deary</p><br>
<p>Engine 1 of the Washington, Idaho and Montana Railway.</p><br>
<p>The city of Potlatch offers a free walking tour guide, "A Walking Tour of the Potlatch Commercial District" at the city hall, at 195 6th Street. The guide is provided by the Potlatch Historical Society.</p><br>
<p>The Henderson Commercial Historic District in Henderson, Texas is a 25 acre historic district that was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1995. In 1995, it included 39 contributing buildings and two other contributing structures.</p><br>
<p>Its NRHP nomination states:</p><br>
<p>Most, but not all, of the buildings postdate the opening of East Texas Oil Field in 1931, which ushered in a brief, yet intense construction boom in the district. These properties convey a strong sense of this era in the districts past and represent a significant part of the areas physical and historical character. This category includes mostly One and Two Part Commercial Block buildings that share many of the same general physical characteristics, such as rectangular building footprints, masonry construction, and 3-bay storefronts, that are associated with their respective broad property type groupings. However, stylistic ornamentation on facades is an effective method of distinguishing buildings in this period of construction from earlier counterparts.</p><br>
<p>An example of a "One Part Commercial Block building" from the 1920s is the Chamberlain Chevrolet Building at 125 S. Main St.</p><br>
<p>Old Main was the first building built on the campus of the Agricultural College of Utah, now Utah State University. It sits at the top of Old Main Hill, overlooking the city of Logan to the west, and facing the quad to the east. Old Main is the oldest functioning academic building in Utah.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>After rejecting a site on the Providence bench south of town, the Board of Trustees for the new college met in Logan on March 26, 1889 to discuss the placement of buildings on a hillside and plot of land donated by the Logan City Council. The Board approved the current site unanimously, and on April 15, selected the proposal of architect C. L. Thompson for a "College Building" to be constructed. Excavation began and the cornerstone was laid on July 27, 1889, and the south wing of the building was completed on February 22, 1890.</p><br>
<p>The original building cost $20,305 and spanned 270 by 100 feet. The plans were soon redrawn by Logan architect Karl Conrad Schaub, however, and the central wing was expanded substantially, whereas under Thompson&#39;s plans, it had served merely as a hallway between the north and south wings. The entirety of the building was finished by 1902, with the front door originally facing west, overlooking the Cache Valley. At this time, the building contained the entirety of the college. Over the years, as campus has expanded, portions of the building have served many purposes, ranging from classrooms to administration to a makeshift hospital during the Spanish flu epidemic in 1919. In its history, the building has housed nearly every department on campus.</p><br>
<p>A single hand-rung bell was installed in Old Main tower in 1904, and additional bells were added in 1914 and 1915. Though the originals were replaced with an electronic carillon in 1978, the tower continues to chime at 15-minute intervals throughout each day.</p><br>
<p>Old Main was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1972. In 1984 the building suffered a major fire, but was completely rehabilitated and restored over a period of about 15 years by Architectural Design West of Logan, Utah which was the company founded by Old Main&#39;s original architect Karl Schaub nearly 100 years earlier.</p><br>
<h3>Current usage</h3><br>
<p>In addition to university administration and many central offices, Old Main currently houses the main offices for the College of Humanities and Social Sciences, and many of its departments, such as history, political science, foreign languages, philosophy, sociology, social work, and anthropology. It houses the USU Museum of Anthropology on its second floor. It additionally houses the entirety of the department of Computer Science on the fourth floor.</p><br>
<h3>"A" Light</h3><br>
<p>The first block "A" light was USUs first senior gift, awarded by the graduating class of 1909. It measures 12 by 14 feet and originally contained 146 candlelight bulbs. The original A was affixed to the west side of the tower, so as to be seen throughout the entire valley, and the remaining three As were added to the tower in later years. The "A" can be seen for miles around, shining white on most nights, and blue on special nights such as Homecoming and Commencement, and when athletic teams have been victorious.</p><br>
<p>The A also serves as an alternative to the mountainside letters which represent many colleges and high schools throughout the state of Utah. Various student-led campaigns throughout the universitys history have sought to construct a block "A" on one of many nearby mountains, most notably in 1947 and again in the 2000s. A compromise following the 1947 initiative led to the construction of a temporary A on the mountain south of Logan Canyon that was illuminated for special events during the 1950s and 60s, as the state&#39;s permanent fixtures were deemed "tacky".</p><br>
<p>During the summer of 2010 the A was upgraded to use LED technology. Both the white and blue lights are now more brilliant.</p><br>
<p>The Lebanon Commercial Historic District in Lebanon, Tennessee is a 10 acre historic district centered on the city&#39;s public square. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999. In 1999 it included 43 contributing buildings and one other contributing structure.</p><br>
<p>The district is built on the Philadelphia Square Plan and is considered an excellent example of a commercial district from the late 19th and early 20th centuries.</p><br>
<p>The Gamma Phi Beta Sorority House is a historic sorority house located at the University of Illinois at Urbana&ndash;Champaign in Urbana, Illinois, United States. The house was built in 1918 for the universitys Omicron chapter of the Gamma Phi Beta sorority, which was formed in 1909 as the Phi Beta Club and officially made part of the national sorority in 1913. During its early years, the chapter was noted for the academic success of its members, its promotion of womens issues on campus, and its social activities. The sororitys house was part of an emerging sorority district in Urbana; while the universitys fraternity row was in Champaign, the Urbana site was closer to the womens dormitory and gymnasium and thus more attractive for sororities. In 1927, during a growth period for the universitys Greek-letter organizations, architecture firm Hewitt, Emerson & Gregg designed and built a Georgian Revival expansion of the sorority&#39;s original duplex house.</p><br>
<p>The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on October 28, 1994.</p><br>
<p>The Paintsville Country Club is a historic country club located immediately east of Paintsville, Kentucky, United States. Although the city of Paintsville owns the country club, the golf course is privately owned. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on 29 January 1989.</p><br>
<p>The clubhouse was constructed by the Works Progress Administration. The sandstone used in the construction was cut from nearby Kentucky Route 40 between Thelma and Paintsville. It officially opened on 24 November 1939.</p><br>
<p>The club&#39;s 18-hole golf course opened on 27 September 1929, and was designed by Paul B. Hall.</p><br>
<p>The Emanuel Lutheran Church of Montra is a historic church in Jackson Township, Shelby County, Ohio, United States. Located in the unincorporated community of Montra, north-northeast of the county seat of Sidney, it is the congregation&#39;s second building.</p><br>
<p>Montra was platted in 1849, but five years passed before any buildings were erected at the site. St. Emanuel&#39;s Lutheran Church was organized in a Montra storeroom in 1860 with a membership of sixteen families. The congregation worshiped in this storeroom until the completion of their first church on the eastern edge of the community in the autumn of 1862; this building measured 40 ft by 30 ft and was built at a cost of $700. Fire destroyed the building in 1874, leaving the congregation homeless for several months. A replacement church was erected on the site of the old during the summer of 1875. A frame structure like its predecessor, the new church measured 50 ft by 40 ft and was built at a cost of $1,800. It was officially dedicated in October 1875. Built on a stone foundation, the white wooden building is topped with a steeple and features five windows on each side.</p><br>
<p>In 1982, Emanuel Lutheran Church was listed on the National Register of Historic Places as a property that had made significant contributions to American history. Today, Emanuel is an active congregation of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. According to the denomination&#39;s published statistics, the congregation had 190 members and an average Sunday worship attendance of 42.</p><br>
<p>The Blue Mountain Fire Observation Station is a historic fire observation station located on Blue Mountain at Indian Lake in Hamilton County, New York.
