<p>Bunn–Tillapaugh Feed Mill is a historic feed mill located at Richmondville in Schoharie County, New York. The main portion of the mill building is a 40 foot by 60 foot, rectangular, four story heavy timber-framed building sheathed in narrow clapboard siding. The mill rests on a stone basement story, built into the steep bank of Bear Gulch, a tributary of Cobleskill Creek. Located adjacent is the mill pond.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2006.</p><br>
<p>Schoharie Valley Railroad Complex is a national historic district located at Schoharie in Schoharie County, New York. The district includes five contributing buildings and four contributing structures. The complex of buildings were built about 1875 by the Schoharie Valley Railroad. They include the passenger station, freight / locomotive house, office, old mill building, storage facility, and four coal silos. The four mile railroad was abandoned in 1942.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972.</p><br>
<p>The Arcade Building is a historic enclosed arcade in Columbia, South Carolina that was added to the National Register of Historic Places on November 17, 1982.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture and history</h2><br>
<p>The Arcade Building was constructed in 1912 by the Equitable Real Estate Company, and is reported to have cost 200,000 dollars ($ today). There are two identical terra cotta façades that face Main and Washington streets in an "L" shape. The Arcade Building has two stories, plus a basement. Both floors have five bays.</p><br>
<p>The Jacob Kamm House, also called the Jacob Kamm Mansion, is a French Second Empire style mansion in Portland, Oregon, built in 1871. It was moved from its original location on SW 14th and Main to its current location in Goose Hollow in 1950 to make room for Lincoln High School&#39;s campus. It was purchased by preservationist Eric Ladd for $1,000 at auction and moved to its present location, along with two other houses Ladd was interested in preserving, at SW 20th and Jefferson, which was called "the colony."</p><br>
<h2>Design and construction</h2><br>
<p>The house, completed in 1871, was designed for Jacob Kamm by architect Elwood M. Burton. (The design has many times been erroneously attributed to Justus F. Krumbein, who shared a partnership with Burton at the time of its construction.) The front facade is composed of two different wings set on different planes. The right wing is three-bayed and contains the canopied entrance. The left contains a polygonal bay and a double, segmental-arched window. Both have a dormer on the Mansard roof.</p><br>
<p>The wooden shingles on the mansard are scalloped to appear like slate. The original address to the house was 488 Main Street; the city&#39;s streets were renamed in the early 1930s and the location became Southwest 14th and Main.</p><br>
<p>Notable early features were central heating, using steam from a ship&#39;s boiler, and a rudimentary system of air conditioning, using cool air from the basement directed through the house through air pipes and cast iron vents.</p><br>
<h2>Adventure House/Junior Museum</h2><br>
<p>In 1946, a few years before the house was moved, The Oregonian said it "sits aloofly and well back from the fenced off streets", and said it had been continuously occupied, even though Kamm died in 1912 and his wife died in 1932. By 1950, the museum was known as the "Junior Museum", and moved to a location in Lair Hill. The site was loaned to the Parks and Recreation Department from the Portland Public Schools, who already had plans for moving onto the site. By that time, the formerly rural area was "a community thickly populated, with houses and apartments closely spaced." An article in 1950 stated the Junior Museum was "filled with boys and girls who have never climbed a tree before", and that weekly attendance was 400-600.</p><br>
<h2>1950 move</h2><br>
<p>In 1950, the house was moved to make room for Lincoln High School, which was moving from its South Park Blocks location, called Old Main. It was then moved to its 20th Avenue location around December 16, 1950, on wooden rollers, rather than wheels, since it was too heavy. The home was moved partway one day, and then was left standing on the road during a large storm. Since utility works was needed to disconnect and reconnect electrical lines crossing roads, the rest of the journey had to wait while utility crews repaired storm damage elsewhere in the city. The house was described as "barren and austere" by The Oregonian, which also noted its gas and electric chandeliers, decorative plaster wainscoting on the stairway flights, and inlaid hardwoods, though some rooms had been recovered in asphalt floor tiling. The move was coordinated by Allstate Construction.</p><br>
<p>Two days before demolition on the house was to begin in 1950, Eric Ladd purchased the Kamm house for $1000 to move it to a colony of significant homes, later called the "Old Portland Colony", having three historic homes by 1965. The mansion was moved approximately 0.5 mi to 1425 SW 20th Avenue on a 10,000 ft&sup2; lot. A 1955 society page spread in a June 1955 The Oregonian discussed how guests arrived at the home dressed in clothing reminiscent of "the when Portland social life saw one of its gayest periods", including arriving by horse and buggy. The restaurant had opened for an Oregon Historical Society benefit and reception for patrons of the society, with dinner being $100 per plate and 80 patrons in attendance. The restaurant could not get a liquor license for the first year. After the first two years, Eric Ladd simplified operations, did all of the baking for the restaurant himself, but still had to close the restaurant after another two years.</p><br>
<p>Eric Ladd (1921-2000) was called "the idiosyncratic Portlander who was in the forefront of historic preservation" by The Oregonian at his death in 2000. He received an award from the Portland Beautification Association, inscribed "The Tenacious Preservationist". The Old Portland Colony also contained a replica of Abraham Lincoln&#39;s Springfield, Kentucky home, built for the 1905 Lewis and Clark Centennial Exposition. The Lincoln home was opened as a museum and a sandwich shop in about 1956, but had a large fire some time later. By 1958, Eric Ladd was distracted by the Pittock Mansion, where he had moved.</p><br>
<h2>1960s decline</h2><br>
<p>Called an "ailing home" in 1965, the home was "just the skeleton of the home Jacob Kamm built". The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on November 5, 1974. A report from 1971 discussed Upon entering the house, cold chilling air greets you. The sound of dripping water draws attention to the gigantic parlor living room area. The water streams profusely from the ceiling on to the expensive red carpeting. No one has been able to find the leak, so it is left to continue soaking the carpet. There is no container to catch the water.</p><br>
<p>The Portland Historical Landmarks Commission voted unanimously in June 1982 to recommend to the City Council that the house be made a landmark. Peter Hoffman, owner of the house since 1979, announced the property was for sale at a meeting to make the house a landmark on September 9, 1982. On November 3, 1982, the Portland City Council voted on whether to make the house a landmark. The owner of the property, Peter Hoffman, originally supported landmark status, but requested it not be made a landmark, as he felt it would impede his efforts to sell the house. The council voted against designating it a landmark, with Frank Ivancie and commissioner Mildred Schwab being the only votes to accept it as a landmark. By October 2009, the home had received Portland Historic Landmark status.</p><br>
<h2>Current</h2><br>
<p>The home was sold to the Kamm House Partnership (William J. Hawkins III, Ron Emmerson) by 1984. It contained both apartments and offices at that time, including a national office for the Sudden Infant Death Syndrome Project.</p><br>
<p>It is currently home to the Alliance française de Portland, who hosts the annual Bastille Day festival at Director Park.</p><br>
<h2>Legacy</h2><br>
<p>In their survey of classic Portland homes, Hawkins and Willingham stated the home was</p><br>
<p>Portland&#39;s singular remaining great mansion from the decade of the 1870s... the most proper design in the style.. is handsomely proportioned, clearly imitating stone construction in wood. It has no tower, but the mansard roof is a distinct attribute, probably the closest in design to those in France.</p><br>
<p>Bart King&#39;s An Architectural Guidebook to Portland states</p><br>
<p>"A somewhat daunting structure, the Jacob Kamm House may qualify as the city&#39;s first real mansion. It has dramatic quoined corners, arched and elongated windows with keystones, and expressive baroque dormers in the mansard roof. Alone on a dead-end street, it seems to look reproachfully at an area developed in a hodge-podge manner.</p><br>
<p>Common School No. 10 is a historic one-room school building located in Accord in Ulster County, New York. It is a 1-story, two-by-three-bay, frame building on a fieldstone foundation built about 1870. It is topped by a gable roof with an open belfry. It operated as a school until 1955. Also on the property is a privy, shed, and well with hand pump.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.</p><br>
<p>Now known as Palentown School House Museum, the school is open twice a year and by appointment.</p><br>
<p>Chetolah, also known as the George Inness, Jr. Estate, is a historic estate located at Cragsmoor in Ulster County, New York.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The estate includes the main house and 10 support structures. The main house was begun in 1901 and is a large, rambling, -story, eclectic style residence with a hipped, metal-sheathed roof with both shed and eyelid type dormers. It features both a stucco and shingled exterior. Other buildings include a greenhouse, studio, garage, two residences, a log cabin, and stone tower and gatehouse. It was designed by and used as a summer home by George Inness, Jr. (1854–1926), son of noted artist George Inness (1825–1894). In 1936, the estate was purchased by the missionary order Daughters of Mary, Health of the Sick and served as Motherhouse and Novitiate until 1970.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.</p><br>
<p>The Church of the Covenant  is a historic church on Euclid Avenue in Cleveland, Ohio&#39;s University Circle. It is a Presbyterian congregation and a part of the Presbytery of the Western Reserve.</p><br>
<p>It was built in 1911 to designs created by architects Cram and Ferguson. In 1968, the McGaffin Carillon was created by the Royal Eijsbouts bell foundry and added to the church&#39;s tower. In 1972, the church added an addition, designed by Richard Fleishman in a contemporary-brutalist style, to serve as a community education center. Church of the Covenant was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.</p><br>
<p>First Methodist Church is a historic church in the Central neighborhood on the east side of Cleveland, Ohio.</p><br>
<p>Located on the southeast corner of E.30th Street and Euclid Avenue, the church was built in 1905 and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1995. In 2010, The congregation left the Euclid Avenue building to merge with Epworth-Euclid United Methodist Church to form University Circle United Methodist Church in Epworth-Euclid UMC&#39;s University Circle building. Euclid Avenue Congregational Church, whose building in the Fairfax neighborhood was destroyed in a fire in 2010, occupied the former First Methodist building from 2010 until mid-2014 before moving to a permanent building in South Euclid, a suburb of Cleveland. The former First Methodist building was put up for auction in 2018; by 2023, it had been converted into a banquet hall.</p><br>
<p>The James A. Garfield Memorial is the final resting place of assassinated President James A. Garfield, located in Lake View Cemetery in Cleveland, Ohio. The memorial, which began construction in October 1885 and was dedicated on May 30, 1890, exhibits a combination of Byzantine, Gothic, and Romanesque Revival architectural styles. Garfield, former First Lady Lucretia Garfield, and two other members of the Garfield family are entombed in the crypt level of the monument.</p><br>
<p>The monument was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.</p><br>
<h2>Site selection</h2><br>
<p>President James A. Garfield, a resident of nearby Mentor, Ohio, was shot in Washington, D.C., on July 2, 1881. He died on September 19, 1881. Garfield himself had expressed the wish to be buried at Lake View Cemetery, and the cemetery offered a burial site free of charge to his widow, Lucretia Garfield.</p><br>
<p>Mrs. Garfield agreed to bury her husband at Lake View. Even before Garfield&#39;s funeral, plans were laid by his friends and admirers for a grand tomb to be erected at a high point in the cemetery.</p><br>
<p>The Garfield Memorial Committee selected the highest point in the cemetery in June 1883 for the president&#39;s final resting place. Lake View Cemetery built a road around the memorial in early 1885 and began work on cutting a road from the Euclid Gate to the memorial site later that fall. The cemetery also began work on making improvements to the landscape, water, and drainage around the site.</p><br>
<h2>Design and construction</h2><br>
<p>The tomb was designed by architect George Keller in the Byzantine, Gothic, and Romanesque Revival styles. All the stone for the monument came from the quarries of the Cleveland Stone Company, and was quarried locally. The exterior reliefs, which depict scenes from Garfields life, were done by Caspar Buberl. Its cost, $135,000 ($ in dollars), was funded entirely through private donations. Part of the memorials funding came from pennies sent in by children throughout the country.</p><br>
<p>The round tower is 50 ft in diameter and 180 ft high.</p><br>
<p>The interior features stained glass windows and window like panes representing the original 13 colonies, plus the state of Ohio, along with panels depicting War and Peace; mosaics; deep red granite columns; and a 12 ft-tall white Carrara marble statue of President Garfield by Alexander Doyle. An observation deck provides views of downtown Cleveland and Lake Erie.</p><br>
<p>Construction on the memorial began on October 6, 1885, and it was dedicated on May 30, 1890.</p><br>
<p>The caskets of the President and Lucretia Garfield lie in a crypt on full display beneath the memorial, along with the ashes of their daughter (Mary "Mollie" Garfield Stanley-Brown ) and son-in-law Joseph Stanley Brown. Lucretia Garfield died on March 13, 1918, and was interred in the Garfield Memorial on March 21.</p><br>
<h2>Operational history</h2><br>
<p>Since the Garfield Memorial was private, the committee overseeing its operation charged an entry fee of 10 cents per person to defray its maintenance costs.</p><br>
<p>In late October 1923, the Garfield National Monument Association turned the Garfield Memorial over to Lake View Cemetery. Most of the Monument Association&#39;s members had died, and its charter did not permit for a self-perpetuating board. After accepting title to the memorial and its land, Lake View Cemetery immediately ended the practice of charging a 10 cent ($ in dollars) admission fee to the memorial. Lake View also began cleaning, repairing, and rehabilitating the memorial.</p><br>
<p>Lake View Cemetery spent $5 million in 2016 and 2017 conserving, repairing, and upgrading the memorial&#39;s structural elements. This included reinforcing beams and columns in the basement.</p><br>
<p>In 2019, the cemetery began a multi-million-dollar project to clean the exterior and repoint any damaged or missing mortar. It is the first time in the memorial&#39;s history that the exterior has been cleaned.</p><br>
<p>The memorial closes every winter on November 19 (President Garfield&#39;s birthday) and reopens in April.</p><br>
<p>Holy Rosary Catholic Church is a historic Catholic parish church in the Little Italy neighborhood of Cleveland, Ohio, United States.</p><br>
<p>Founded in the early 1890s, the parish completed the present Baroque-styled church shortly before 1910; the building has been named a historic site.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>By the early 1890s, a strong Italian immigrant community had been formed along Mayfield Road on the eastern edge of Cleveland, and priests from the nearby community of East Cleveland began ministering to these immigrants. Their efforts saw success: the Diocese of Cleveland formed Holy Rosary parish in 1892, and the first church building was erected by the years end. Although Italian ties were strong in the community, they soon began to assimilate; religious education for children was offered at the church as early as 1896. At one time, Holy Rosary was one of approximately fifty national parishes in Cleveland, due to the citys rapid growth via European immigration; it was the first Italian parish in the city. The members arranged for the present building to be erected in 1905, although four years passed before it was ready for consecration.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture, construction and design</h2><br>
<p>Many of Holy Rosarys earliest members were stone cutters, but their church does not reflect their craft: its walls are brick. The foundation is stone, and copper and stone are used for various external details. At the center of the facade, flights of stairs provide access to the double doors at the main entrance, above which two large arched windows are placed. The bays on the sides of the facade include large arched areas filled primarily with brick; only small arched windows and oculi penetrate these walls. Two belt courses, the lower more prominent than the upper, appear near the top of the facade; one is interrupted by the large arch windows above the entrance, while the other sits immediately above them. Numerous statues stand atop the facade at its significant points, while the buildings eastern corner is topped by a domed cupola.</p><br>
<h2>Status on National Register of Historic Places</h2><br>
<p>In 1976, Holy Rosary Church was listed on the National Register of Historic Places, qualifying both because of its architecture and its place in the communitys history. It is one of several national parishes with this designation in the city, along with St. Elizabeths (Hungarian), St. Michaels (German), St. Stanislaus (Polish), and St. Stephen&#39;s (German).</p><br>
<p>North Presbyterian Church is a historic Presbyterian church on the east side of Cleveland, Ohio, United States. Constructed in the 1880s, the church building has been named a historic site.</p><br>
<p>Throughout its history, the congregation has been focused on Sunday school work. North Presbyterian Church developed out of a mission Sunday school established in east-side Cleveland in 1859. The local presbytery organized a congregation out of the Sunday school in 1867, and within a short while, the new congregation formed the first of two mission Sunday schools in other locations. When the present building was constructed, it was designed to facilitate Sunday schools, with small classrooms surrounding the sanctuary.</p><br>
<p>Members arranged for the present building to be erected in the mid-1880s: construction began in 1886 and continued into the following year. It is an eclectic structure, mixing Gothic Revival and Romanesque Revival design elements in an unusual manner. A central tower protrudes slightly from the rest of the facade; it is topped by a steep pyramidal roof. At the base of the tower is the main entrance, and small vertical windows shelter a belfry immediately below the base of the roof; a large window fills nearly all of the space between the main entrance and the belfry. On each side of the tower, the facade is divided into four bays by buttresses running from foundation to the roof, topped by steep pinnacles. Each bay includes two small windows at ground level and a massive window, similar to the one in the tower, that fills most of the width and height in the bay. The building&#39;s main corner (on the left from the perspective of someone facing the main entrance), facing an intersection along Superior Avenue, is rounded, and the design of the facade continues onto the western side.</p><br>
<p>In late 1974, North Presbyterian Church was listed on the National Register of Historic Places, qualifying both because of its architecture and because of its place in local history. Critical to this designation was the congregation&#39;s dedication to religious education, as seen both in its history and its architecture. The general design elements were unusual for period churches, and the floor plan that concentrated on the Sunday school space was highly distinctive; together, these themes caused the church to be a unique example of late nineteenth-century churches in the region.</p><br>
<p>Cumming-Parker House is a historic estate located at Esopus in Ulster County, New York. It is a two-story, wood-frame house. It was built about 1836 and enlarged about 1875. It features a gallery along all four sides. Also on the property are a boat house, two-seat privy, summer house, and the remains of a large ice house.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2010.</p><br>
<p>Pilgrim Congregational Church is a historic congregation of the United Church of Christ in Cleveland, Ohio, United States. Constructed in the 1890s for a congregation founded in the 1850s, it was named a historic site in the 1970s.</p><br>
<p>Congregationalists began operating a Sunday school in Clevelands Tremont neighborhood in 1854, and their efforts resulted in the creation of a church five years later. The members began construction of their first church building in 1865, although it was not completed until 1870. It was suitable for the congregations needs for only a short time, as construction on the present building was started just 23 years after the first building was finished. The name "Pilgrim Congregational Church" was adopted in 1894 upon the completion of the present building; they had been styled "Heights Congregational Church" into the 1870s and used the name "Jennings Avenue Congregational Church" in the 1880s. The building was a community landmark from its earliest years — electric wiring was included in the original construction at a time when no other Cleveland buildings west of the Cuyahoga River had electricity.</p><br>
<p>Designed by prominent Cleveland architect Sidney Badgley, Pilgrim Congregational cost approximately $150,000 to complete. It is a generally square building typical of the Richardsonian Romanesque style, distinguished by exterior elements such as prominent rose windows on the northern and eastern sides. At the time of construction, the church was deeply involved in social programs in the community; rooms such as recreation space for young men, a library, and a gymnasium take up two-thirds of the building. The tallest section of the church is a square corner tower with a pointed roof; tall arched windows occupy much of its height, with circular windows and a belfry between the arched windows and the top of the tower. The main entrance also is through an arch, placed at the top of a wide flight of stairs.</p><br>
<p>In 1976, Pilgrim Congregational Church was listed on the National Register of Historic Places, qualifying both because of its place in local history and because of its historically significant architecture, which when completed was called an "epoch-making church building&quot just four years after the building was erected, the plans had been used as an example of the latest ecclesiastical architecture at the Paris Exhibition at the turn of the century. It was one of twenty Cuyahoga County locations added to the Register in 1976.</p><br>
<p>Riverside Cemetery Chapel is a historic chapel located in Riverside Cemetery at 3607 Pearl Road in Cleveland, Ohio. It was built in 1876, received an addition in 1897, and closed due to disrepair in 1953. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1987. It underwent a major renovation beginning in 1995, and reopened in 1998.</p><br>
<h2>Constructing the chapel</h2><br>
<p>The Riverside Cemetery Association was formed on November 15, 1875. About April 1876, the association&#39;s trustees hired the Cleveland architectural firm of Bruch & Monks</p><br>
<p>The chapel was to be erected at the center of the northern upper plateau of the cemetery, which was the first area to be developed for burials. A 1,000 ft long road, called Chapel Avenue, led east from the chapel to the cemetery&#39;s eastern boundary. A fountain (never built) was to anchor the eastern end of the road. The chapel itself was a Gothic Revival-style structure with an interior measuring just 26 by square. Simple wooden pews faced forward, providing seating for between 80 and 90 persons. The chapel had a single above-ground story, with a full basement which served as a receiving vault. Coffins placed on the dais could be lowered into the receiving vault below mechanically. Narrow bunk-like racks provided space for the storage of coffins and human remains until the spring thaw. Up to 30 coffins could be stored in the receiving vault. Four narrow metal tubes rose from the basement through the north and south roofs to provide ventilation. The building was unheated, and the only light was provided by small dormer windows set high in the roof.</p><br>
<p>Riverside Cemetery was opened on July 8, 1876, on a bluff overlooking the west bank of the Cuyahoga River in the unincorporated village of Brooklyn Centre (now a neighborhood which is part of Cleveland, but then an independent settlement). It was a garden-style cemetery, and at the time of its dedication the largest cemetery on Cleveland&#39;s west side.</p><br>
<p>Plans for the chapel were approved by the trustees on August 4, 1876, and construction proceeded immediately and swiftly. The chapel was dedicated on November 9, 1876. The cost of construction was $3,855 ($ in dollars). A formal dedication of the cemetery took place on November 17, 1876. Ohio Governor (and President-elect) Rutherford B. Hayes attended the ceremony, planting a tree on Chapel Avenue.</p><br>
<h2>History of the chapel</h2><br>
<p>On December 13, 1897, the cemetery trustees voted to approve the addition of a porte-cochère to the east side of the chapel. The Cleveland architectural firm of Steffens, Searles & Hirsh was hired to design the alterations, which also included adding a coal-fired furnace and coal room in the basement, Construction began on July 7, 1898, and was complete on November 3 at a cost of about $2,700 ($ in dollars).</p><br>
<p>In serious need of repair, upgrades, and restorations, the chapel was closed in 1953.</p><br>
<p>The chapel was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.</p><br>
<p>In 1988, several stone roof caps were dislodged and fell to the ground just hours after the funeral of a cemetery trustee was held in the chapel. In 1992, realizing that the chapel was in danger of collapse, the cemetery began a $250,000 fundraising campaign to restore it to full use. A charitable foundation was established to receive monies. Although costs had risen to $285,000, by 1995 the cemetery had $105,000 in hand and decided to proceed with the renovation. The renovation was designed by the Cleveland architectural firm of Steven McQuillin & Associates. The restoration included restoring the building to use, removing a brick chimney on the buildings west facade (added to vent smoke from the now-disused coal furnace), and removing the ventilation tubes from the roof (since the receiving vault was no longer used). Construction, overseen by Platt Construction Co. of Cleveland, began in the summer of 1995. William Halley, the cemeterys superintendent from 1971 to 2010, oversaw the fundraising and renovation. With the existing pews no longer serviceable, Halley obtained century-old pews for the chapel from Trinity Cathedral, a church also listed on the National Register of Historic Places which was renovating its nave. The renovation was completed in August 1998, and the chapel rededicated in June 1999. At that time, was named the William Halley Chapel in honor of superintendent William Halley.</p><br>
<p>St. Elizabeth of Hungary Shrine is a historic Roman Catholic shrine in the Buckeye Road neighborhood on the east side of Cleveland, Ohio, United States. The earliest ethnic parish established for Hungarians in the United States, its present building was constructed in the early twentieth century, and it has been named a historic site. In 2023, it was declared a shrine church by Bishop Edward Malesic for the promotion of the Christian heritage of the Hungarian people as well divine worship according to the liturgical books in use prior to the reforms of Pope Paul VI, and is presently operated by canons of the Institute of Christ the King Sovereign Priest.</p><br>
<h2>Parish history</h2><br>
<p>Clevelands first Hungarian Catholics initially worshipped at St. Ladislaus Church, an east-side Slovakian parish, but ethnic strife and increasing immigration prompted the Hungarian community to seek their own parish. Bishop Horstmann interceded on their behalf with papal authorities, and Charles Boehm of Hungary settled in Cleveland in late 1892 to serve the new St. Elizabeth parish, the first Hungarian nationality parish in America. Boehm immediately began registering members and advocating for the construction of a church complex; the first church building, a brick structure, was erected by the end of 1893, a school soon followed, and a larger school was completed in 1900 because of expanded enrollment. He also began a Hungarian-language parish newspaper that soon gained subscribers in other parts of the United States and in Hungary. Julius Szepessy took Boehm&#39;s place in 1907 after the latter left to begin missions among Hungarians in America, but after Szepessy died in 1923, Boehm returned and remained until retiring in 1927.</p><br>
<p>The parish was weakened in 1904 as Hungarian Catholics living in western Cleveland began to weary of their three-hour round trip for Mass. With Boehms support, the new St. Emerics Church was created for them; it was the first of more than a dozen Hungarian parishes established directly or indirectly through his influence. Nevertheless, Boehms remaining parishioners were numerous enough that the old building was insufficient for their needs, and by the time of his departure in 1907, he had begun to raise money for the erection of a replacement. Before his death, Szepessy saw the completion of the present structure, along with a parish hall that became a community center for the neighborhoods Hungarians.</p><br>
<p>In July 2023, Bishop Edward Malesic designated St. Elizabeths as a shrine church for the continued use of the Tridentine Mass. Subsequent to the initial announcement, Malesic extended an invitation to the Institute of Christ the King Sovereign Priest to commence operation of the church for the exclusive celebration of the traditional Mass and other sacraments in the forms practiced prior to the reforms of Pope Paul VI. Canon James Hoogerwerf of the ICKSP was named rector of St. Elizabeths. The first Mass celebrated under the auspices of the Institute was conducted on September 24, 2023.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>St. Elizabeths first building with a basic Gothic Revival structure of brick, completed in 1893 and removed in 1917 for the construction of the present building. Although the cornerstone was laid in 1918, the construction process was lengthy, and it was finally completed only in 1922. Built primarily of limestone, according to a design of Cleveland architect Emile Uhlrich, the church is an example of Italian-influenced Baroque Revival architecture, partly modelled after the church of SantAgnese in Agone in Rome. Two great towers, topped with cupolas, form the ends of the facade, while a great rose sits in the middle section of the facade high above the main entrance. A flight of steps rises from the sidewalk to the central main entrance, which sits along the sidewalk with no setback.</p><br>
<h2>Preservation</h2><br>
<p>In 1976, St. Elizabeths Church was listed on the National Register of Historic Places, qualifying both because of its place in the areas history and because of its historically significant architecture. The building has been well maintained, due partially to funds from generous bequests, but membership has fallen significantly from the parishs height. Most of the neighborhoods Hungarian residents left in the 1970s, due largely to disappearing factory jobs and rapidly rising crime rates. However, comparable weakening at the west side daughter parish, St. Emerics, and another Hungarian parish in Orange, St. Margarets, prompted Bishop Lennon to close those two parishes in early 2009 and urge their members to begin worshipping at St. Elizabeth&#39;s.</p><br>
<p>Col. Oliver Hazard Payne Estate is a historic 60 acre estate, also known as Omega and Wiltwick, located on the west bank of the Hudson River at Esopus in Ulster County, New York, United States. The estate features a 42,000 ft&sup2; Beaux Arts-style Mediterranean palazzo with an open courtyard. It was designed in 1905 for Col. Oliver Hazard Payne by the architect Thomas Hastings of the firm of Carrère and Hastings, who also designed the New York Public Library and the Henry Clay Frick House. The estate is currently owned by Marist College and operated as the Raymond A. Rich Institute for Leadership Development.</p><br>
<h2>History of the estate</h2><br>
<p>Col. Oliver Hazard Payne (1839–1917) began construction on the mansion in 1909, and it was finished in 1911. The mansion was built on the same site as "Waldorf", John Jacob Astor III’s (1822–1890) somewhat less grand Renaissance-style residence that was razed. Payne had served as a colonel in the American Civil War, during which time he was grievously wounded.</p><br>
<p>As Payne never married nor had children, upon his death in 1917, the house passed to one of his nephews, Harry Payne Bingham (1887–1955). In 1933, Bingham donated the 484-acre estate to the Episcopal Diocese of New York, which established the Wiltwyck School for Boys, serving troubled children from 1937 until 1966. The school&#39;s leaders included Eleanor Roosevelt, and its alumni included boxing champion Floyd Patterson.</p><br>
<p>In 1942, 60 acres of the estate, including the mansion, was purchased by the Marist Brothers, founders of Marist College, and it was used as a retreat for several years.</p><br>
<p>In 1986, the estate was purchased from the Marist Brothers by Raymond A. Rich (1912–2009), a wealthy businessman and industrialist who served as CEO of USA Filters Corp. during the 1970s. Following the purchase, he restored the mansion to its former glory and resided there until his death in June 2009.</p><br>
<p>In 2009, after the death of Rich, it was revealed that he had bequeathed the estate to Marist College, located on the east bank of the Hudson River in Poughkeepsie, New York. This brings the estate full circle, following its prior ownership by the Marist Brothers. The estate has since been part of the Raymond A. Rich Leadership Institute at Marist, and the mansion is used for speakers, conferences and workshops by the school.</p><br>
<h2>Mansion</h2><br>
<p>The 1909 mansion, completed in 1911, is constructed of reinforced concrete and faced with Italian limestone topped by red tile clad hipped roofs. The eastern portico has six single-story Ionic columns set between rugged arched pavilions and is fronted by a balustraded terrace overlooking the river. At the palazzo&#39;s center is an enclosed courtyard fitted with a fountain and recessed loggias adorned with frescoes.</p><br>
<p>Located nearby on the riverbank is a stone boat house that is part of the estate. The boathouse, built soon after the palazzo, is a rare survivor of its type on the river. It is neither Italian Renaissance nor rustic, but somewhere between the two.</p><br>
<p>The estate is considered one of the most architecturally significant houses in the Hudson Valley, and it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002.</p><br>
<p>St. Joseph&#39;s Church and Friary was a historic church at 2543 E. 23rd Street at Woodland in Cleveland, Ohio. It was designed by architects Cudell & Richardson, built in 1873, and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.</p><br>
<p>The congregation dwindled due to the construction of nearby interstate highways, and the Roman Catholic Diocese of Cleveland closed the church in 1986. It was later deconsecrated. The friary and school suffered moderate damage on January 25, 1993, after a fire set by homeless people who sought shelter in the building got out of control. A second, much more severe fire (whether set by homeless individuals or vandals was unclear) occurred inside the church itself on February 15, 1993. A third fire on February 19, 1993, destroyed the remainder of the structure. The church was demolished on February 20.</p><br>
<p>Prior to the fires, the stained glass windows, artwork, and most of the other useful items at St. Joseph&#39;s Church and Friary had been removed and given to other Catholic Churches for use.</p><br>
<p>St. Luke&#39;s Hospital is a historic former hospital in the Woodland Hills neighborhood of Cleveland, Ohio. The building, designed in the Georgian Revival style by the Cleveland-based architectural firm Hubbell & Benes, was constructed in 1927 followed by completion of the originally planned east wing in 1929. As the hospital grew, later additions were made in the 1940s, 1960s, and 1970s. In May 1999, the hospital announced the closure of its Level 2 trauma center, and the hospital shut down the rest of its surgical and medical services later that summer.</p><br>
<p>After the closure of the hospital in 1999, the building was vacant for over 10 years, falling into decay and becoming a major target for vandals. In 2005, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places and the following year was purchased by Cleveland Neighborhood Progress with plans for residential redevelopment by 2008. The later additions from the 1940s, 1960s, and 1970s were demolished in 2007 leaving the original 380,000 ft2, Georgian Revival building. Economic difficulties, however, prevented further work from beginning until 2011. The building was renovated and restored in three phases with the first two phases being an independent senior living and subsidized housing community called St. Lukes Manor. The central wing, with 72 apartments, was completed first in 2012, followed by an additional 65 apartments in the west wing in phase two. The 65,000 ft2 east wing, which included the Prentiss Auditorium, was renovated in phase three, mainly for office use, and was mostly completed by late 2013 with the Prentiss Auditorium completed in late 2014 and dedicated in February 2015. Its anchor tenant is a charter school with approximately 250 students in grades K–8 along with a Boys & Girls Clubs of America location and offices for Cleveland Neighborhood Progress and the St. Lukes Foundation.</p><br>
<p>The former St. Pauls Episcopal Church is a historic church in Cleveland, Ohio, United States. Built for an Episcopal parish by a well-known architect, it became a prominent component of the citys wealthy Millionaire&#39;s Row, due to its grand architecture. Although vacated by its original owners in the 1920s, it was soon bought by a Catholic monastic group that occupies it into the present day. It was named a historic site in 1980.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>St. Pauls Episcopal Church was founded in late 1846, and for two years the parishioners worshipped in a hotel before constructing a building at Fourth and Euclid downtown. A fire destroyed the structure before it was completed, but people throughout the city contributed funds to build a brick replacement in 1851. By the 1870s, the streets surrounding the church had become primarily commercial, so the vestry sold the building and rented halls while building the present church eastward on Euclid Avenue. Its placement amid the wealthy Millionaires Row district soon caused it to become a symbol of the neighborhood. However, the membership gradually moved farther eastward, and in 1928 a new building was constructed in Cleveland Heights. Meanwhile, the Roman Catholic Diocese of Cleveland was seven years into the process of establishing a monastery for perpetual Eucharistic adoration by the Poor Clares. Two years after the Episcopalians had moved eastward, they sought to sell the old building, and the Catholic diocese bought it for monastic use. A new Catholic parish, dedicated to St. Paul like the original occupants, was erected in 1949 to worship on the property; it remains to the present.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture and construction</h2><br>
<p>St. Pauls church building is one of just six Gothic Revival churches built in Cleveland during the 1870s that survived into the 1980s. At one time considered Clevelands grandest and largest church, it is distinguished by the unusual architecture of the peak of the bell tower, and the open interior features extensive detailing, along with seating for one thousand worshippers. Covered with sandstone from Berea, the building was a work of Gordon W. Lloyd, a Detroit architect who also produced grand churches in Ohio cities of various sizes, ranging from Trinity Episcopal Church in downtown Columbus to St. Paul&#39;s Episcopal Church in the smaller community of Medina.</p><br>
<h2>Status on National Register of Historic Places</h2><br>
<p>In 1980, St. Paul&#39;s was listed on the National Register of Historic Places, qualifying because of its historically significant architecture. It is one of thirteen Lloyd-designed buildings, including ten churches, that are listed on the National Register.</p><br>
<p>St. Stephen Church is a Roman Catholic church located in the Detroit-Shoreway neighborhood on the west side of Cleveland, Ohio. The gothic style building was designed by architects Cudell & Richardson. The current church was built in 1875 and was added into the National Register of Historic Places in 1977.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>St. Stephen Roman Catholic Church was founded in 1869 due to a need for a second German parish on the west side of Cleveland. The first German parish, St. Marys, increased so much that Cleveland was in need of a second parish for German-speaking Catholics. In April 1869 the first bishop of Cleveland, Bishop Louis Amadeus Rappe, appointed Fr. Stephen Falk to have a two-story building built. The building would be used as a church on the upper level and a school on the lower level to accommodate the 200 families from St. Marys that lived west of 44th Street.</p><br>
<p>The newly ordained Fr. Casimir Reichlin became the first pastor and said the first Mass of the parish on May 1, 1870. He served as pastor of St. Stephens for 38 years. In 1873, Fr. Reichlin realized that a new church building was needed to accommodate the growing parish. The Cleveland-based architect firm called Cudell & Richardson was hired to build the structure that still stands today as St. Stephens Roman Catholic Church. Due to economic depression in the mid-1870s, work on the new building was stopped. Parishioners mortgaged their own properties to raise funds for the new church. It was dedicated on November 20, 1881, by the second bishop of Cleveland, Rev. Richard Gilmour. Volunteer German and Hungarian woodworkers completed the interior of the church.</p><br>
<p>Over the next 40 years, the parish added a rectory, convent for the Sisters of Notre Dame and two school buildings including one for and an all girls two-year high school which opened in 1905. After World War II, St. Stephen&#39;s parish experienced unprecedented growth due to the population growth in Cleveland and throughout the country. On June 8, 1953 a tornado severely damaged the church structure. Work to restore the building began immediately. The church was reopened on November 6, 1953.</p><br>
<p>In the late sixties, the parish enrollment was at a low due to migration of families to suburban towns. St. Stephen&#39;s parish graduated its last high school class in 1970 and the following school year moved the elementary level classes into the old high school building. In 1986, St. Stephen School combined with St. Michael and St. Boniface Schools and formed.</p><br>
<p>St. Stephen&#39;s was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on November 11, 1977.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The church building is made entirely of stone, mainly Amherst stone, by Cudell & Richardson Architect firm. The church is 165 long and 74 feet wide. The architect style is Gothic and the shape of the church is cruciform. On each side of the main altar are six enormous wooden pillars that branch out into many columns. The high altar, side altars and pulpit are made entirely of oak wood and decorated with beautiful German woodcarvings. The church pews are also oak. A Mexican onyx and brass Communion rail was installed over the years and the floor of the sanctuary and aisles is made of black and white marble tiles.</p><br>
<h2>Contemporary life</h2><br>
<p>St. Stephens is a fully active Roman Catholic Parish in the Diocese of Cleveland. This means that they have a full parish staff and church council. They have regular Sunday Masses as well as daily Masses. German Mass is offered every first Sunday at 11am. In addition to German and English Masses, St. Stephens also offers Tridentine Latin Masses every Sunday at 9:30am as well as daily Tridentine Latin Masses at varying times. The Latin Mass celebrant at St. Stephen&#39;s is Rev. Fr. Bede Kotlinski, OSB. Other staff includes Pastor Rev. Caroli B. Shao and Permanent Deacon Rev. Mr. Moises Cruz.</p><br>
<p>St. Stephens hosts many church events and fund raisers as well as promotes those of other local parishes. St. Stephens also promotes pro-life events as well as home school events. In keeping with its German tradition, one of the many cultural activities that is offered at St. Stephen&#39;s is a German summer camp. This summer camp allows children to be introduced to the German language in a fun setting through crafts, games, and scavenger hunts. The summer camp requires no prior knowledge of the German language. The parish observes “Priesthood Sunday” to celebrate the gift of the holy priesthood in the life of the Catholic Church and encourages parishioners to pray for and submit a note of appreciation to numerous priests.</p><br>
<p>Trinity Cathedral is a historic church on Euclid Avenue at East 22nd Street in Cleveland, Ohio. It is the cathedral of the Episcopal Diocese of Ohio.</p><br>
<p>Building was begun in 1901 and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Trinity parish was founded on November 9, 1816, in the home of Phineas Shepherd. As the parish grew, a new wood-frame church was erected on the corner of St. Clair Avenue and Seneca Street (now West 3rd Street) and was consecrated in 1829. This was the first church building built within the village limits of Cleveland.</p><br>
<p>In 1846, to meet the needs of a growing parish, plans for a larger, centralized building just east of Public Square commenced. The congregation moved into the larger stone structure in the Gothic style on Superior Avenue in 1855. In 1890, Trinity Church was offered to Bishop William A. Leonard for use as a cathedral for the Diocese of Ohio. The congregation would maintain the building and it would serve dual roles as the parish church and cathedral for the diocese. Shortly thereafter plans were developed to build a new cathedral in its present location.</p><br>
<p>Charles F. Schweinfurth was selected as the architect for the new cathedral and had originally planned a Romanesque building. Bishop Leonard and the congregation strongly objected preferring a Gothic structure that was more befitting to Anglican traditions. Construction began on the cathedral in 1901 and it was officially consecrated on September 24, 1907.</p><br>
<p>In 2002, Trinity Commons was completed which provided additional program and office space for the cathedral and diocese. Central to the Trinity Commons is a central piazza used for informal gatherings after services and serves as the entry space for the cathedral. In addition to meeting and office space, the Commons hosts an art gallery, coffee shop, and restaurant.</p><br>

<p>Zion Lutheran Church is a historic Lutheran church located along Prospect Avenue near downtown Cleveland, Ohio, United States. Formed in the 1840s, the congregation built the present building shortly after 1900, along with an adjacent church school. Both buildings have been named historic sites. The school is no longer open.</p><br>
<p>Since approximately 1860, the stretch of Prospect Avenue where Zion Lutheran was built had been a primarily residential neighborhood. It was one of the citys richer areas, as demonstrated by the grandness of churches such as Zion, First Methodist, Trinity Cathedral, and St. Pauls Episcopal Church on Euclid Avenue. This condition persisted into the mid-1910s, at which point the neighborhood transitioned into a largely commercial area. Beginning after 1930, the neighborhood deteriorated as many buildings were demolished, often to create room for parking lots.</p><br>
<p>In such an environment Zion Lutheran Church was constructed in 1902 and opened for public use in the following year. It is home to a congregation founded by German immigrants in 1843, the oldest extant Lutheran congregation in the city. Many other Cleveland-area Lutheran congregations, including Trinity Lutheran Church, are Zion&#39;s daughters. The original church building was located downtown, but the east-side German community was strong enough by 1902 that the congregation deemed Prospect Avenue a better location for serving the community. From its earliest years, the congregation had sponsored a school; Zion Lutheran School was founded in 1848, at which time all scholars were instructed in German. The school moved to Prospect Avenue ahead of the church. The present building was completed in 1903, two years after the completion of the auditorium and the opening of classes therein. William Dunn was the architect for the school, while the architect for the church was Frank Walker of Walker and Weeks.</p><br>
<p>Both the school and the church are brick buildings with stone foundations and additional elements of stone. The church is in the Gothic Revival style of architecture, while the school building mixes elements of the Queen Anne and Colonial Revival styles. The school is no longer used as such, with classes having ceased in 1974. In 1984, Zion Lutheran Church and School were each listed on the National Register of Historic Places, both qualifying because of their historically significant architecture and because of their role in local history. The two were part of a multiple property submission of buildings along Prospect Avenue, along with nearby buildings such as First Methodist Church, the Phillip Gaensslen House, and the Dr. William Gifford House. They have also been given city historic-landmark designation, and their location at Prospect and E. 30th is located within the city-designated Prospect Avenue Historic District. The congregation was a founding member of the Lutheran Church–Missouri Synod (LCMS), within which it has remained.</p><br>
<h2>First Christmas tree in an American church building</h2><br>
<p>One of the congregation&#39;s early pastors was Heinrich Christian Schwan, who also served as the third president of the LCMS. He has been credited with being the first pastor to erect a Christmas tree in an American church sanctuary when he and his wife erected one at Zion Lutheran in 1851, located then at the corner of Lakeside Avenue and East Sixth Street in Cleveland. A plaque commemorating the event has been placed at the site by the Cleveland Landmarks Commission. However, research has shown that there was at least one prior instance, namely by Rev. John Muehlhaeuser in Rochester, New York, in 1840.</p><br>
<p>The First Universalist Church of Olmsted is a historic Unitarian Universalist church in the city of North Olmsted, Ohio, United States. The second-oldest church building in Cuyahoga County, it has been a community landmark since the middle of the nineteenth century, and it was officially named a historic site in the late twentieth.</p><br>
<p>North Olmsteds Universalists erected their church building in 1847, employing a Greek Revival design under the direction of John Ames. The building is a simple rectangle of frame; covered with weatherboarding, the walls rise to a gable with a bell tower atop the roofline at the front of the building. Four rectangular windows pierce the sides, while one such window sits on either side of the front, framing the main entrance. Above the entrance is a short ogive window, while the entirety of the gable is constructed as a pediment. The pediment is the buildings most decorative portion, due to components such as it detailed fanlight. The church&#39;s current bell is more than 150 years old, having been installed in 1851. Overall, the building is a simple version of the Greek Revival style, although some Victorian details were added later, and the church has been moved from its original site.</p><br>
<p>Members of the congregation have long been known for their liberal religious views; they appointed their first female preacher, Abbie Danforth, in 1878. Conversely, their architectural views are highly conservative; St. Johns Episcopal Church, erected in 1838, is the countys only extant religious building that predates the North Olmsted Universalist Church. This lack of change was significant to the building&#39;s designation as a historic site. In November 1980, the church was listed on the National Register of Historic Places, qualifying both because of its historically significant architecture and because of its place in local history, even though neither churches nor moved buildings are generally considered eligible for addition to the Register. It is one of nine sites in and around North Olmstead and Olmsted Falls, along with John and Maria Adams House, Fort Hill, the Grand Pacific Hotel, the Samuel Lay House, the North Olmsted Town Hall, the Julia Carter Northrop House, the Olmsted Falls Depot, and the Olmsted Falls Historic District.</p><br>
<p>Independence Presbyterian Church is a historic church in the city of Independence, Ohio, United States. Constructed in the 1850s, the stone church building was originally home to a congregation heavily dependent on the local mining economy, but since the 1920s it has again been associated with an active congregation. It was named a historic site in the 1970s.</p><br>
<p>Independence Presbyterian is largely a stone building; both the foundation and the walls are stone, and the roof is slate. The structure is that of a gabled rectangle with a square tower at the front, in which is placed the main entrance. The top of the tower includes a belfry with louvering. The overall design is simple with comparatively little ornamentation, although a significant counterexample is the building&#39;s back wall, in which was placed a prominent petroglyph known as the Independence Slab.</p><br>
<p>Local Presbyterians were organized into a congregation in 1837, but nearly two decades passed before the building was built; it was constructed in 1855 according to a design produced by Jacob Merkle. The local economy at the time was heavily dependent on nearby stone quarries, and the congregation was no different: when the quarries closed in 1905, the congregation was also disorganized. After twenty years of vacancy, the building became home to another Presbyterian congregation in 1925. Growth forced the building&#39;s replacement in the 1960s, and a new structure was finished on an adjacent property in 1963. Since that time, the old building has generally been used only for special events. The congregation remains an active part of the Western Reserve Presbytery of the Presbyterian Church (USA).</p><br>
<p>In 1977, the old church was listed on the National Register of Historic Places, qualifying because of its historically significant architecture. It is one of five National Register-listed locations in Independence, along with the Fuller-Bramley House, the Packard-Doubler House, the South Park Site, and the William Tricker Inc. Historic District.</p><br>
<p>The Anthony Yelverton House is a historic house located at 39 Maple Avenue Highland, Ulster County, New York.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>It is a -story, three-bay wide frame structure built about 1754. It is built into the hillside. It features a two-story porch spanning the full width of the building. It is the only surviving structure from "Yelverton&#39;s Landing", and once served as a tavern, storehouse, and private residence.</p><br>
<p>Anthony Yelverton was a Poughkeepsie businessman. From this building and adjacent sawmill, Yelverton developed the area called both Yelverton&#39;s Landing and New Paltz Landing because a road connected it to New Paltz, further west. It became both a community in its own right and a Hudson River "port" for commerce from the New Paltz area.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on September 22, 1983.</p><br>
<p>Bruyn Estate at Red Mills Farm  or "Miller&#39;s House at Red Mills Farm" is a historic estate and farm located in Shawangunk in Ulster County, New York. Situated on just under 25 acres, Bruyn Estate has two residential dwellings totaling eight bedrooms. One 1835 Greek Revival farmhouse  on the National Register, and one newly built Log Home  made from salvaged, antique 1850s barns, surrounded by landscaped lawns and outdoor event spaces. It is on the east side of the Shawangunk Kill at the Ulster/Orange Counties line. Wallkill Avenue is north of the building with the Shawangunk Kill east of it.</p><br>
<p>Bruyn Estate is a working farm with alpacas, goats, and chickens on the grounds.</p><br>
<p>All custom-designed interiors and exteriors built and designed by Cristy Lee McGeehan / Cristy Lee Design have featured on Barnwood Builders, Beautiful Destinations, Cabin Chronicles, Cabin Love, Discovery Channel, DIY Network, Domino Magazine, HGTV, iTV, Mansion Global, The New York Times, WSJ, and more!</p><br>
<p>The one half story frame farmhouse with a partially exposed cellar and interior end chimneys was constructed c.1835 on a site overlooking the Shawangunk Kill. The northwest facade of the five-bay center hall structure has 6/6 sashes with plain window heads and sills. The center entry, framed by pilasters which support a full entablature, has three-paned sidelights. Complete with 3BRs upstairs, formal dining, kitchen and office on the first floor, and a karaoke lounge, gym and wine cellar in the basement.</p><br>
<p>Bruyn Estate at Red Mills Farm (Historic Farmhouse) is significant as a distinctive example of Greek Revival style architecture. It is also significant as a surviving component of an industrial complex originating in the eighteenth century. The architectural integrity of the house is embodied in its form, original materials, unique iron grill work, elaborate interior woodwork and door moldings.</p><br>
<p>The farmhouse at Red Mills known as Red Mills Farm was built c.1835 by Roe and Arminda Coleman on this site overlooking the Shawangunk Kill. The early mill site included a sawmill and gristmill which were in proximity to the millers house (only the millers house survives). The location allowed the miller a view of mill operations, and the height of the water in the mill could also be monitored. The sawmill and gristmill were destroyed by fire in the mid-twentieth century, leaving only remnants of a dam and mill race channel, and the existing miller&#39;s house. (The mill site is located on a separate parcel.)</p><br>
<p>The log guest house is a newly built, design-forward, sumptuous home perfect for guests and entertaining. A large hearth room dominates the first floor, with an open kitchen, dining, and living spaces. Huge master BR with its own entrance on the first floor. Four en suite bedrooms upstairs, each with its own custom design. All contemporary mechanicals, including zoned heating and radiant floors as well as central air.</p><br>
<p>The site was originally owned by the patentee, Abraham Jansen. Roe Coleman purchased the land in 1835 and began construction of the mill buildings and the house. (A date stone set in the garden wall which surrounds the house reads, Erected by M. Webb / July 4, 1839. This may refer to the date the wall was constructed since it does not relate to the house or it may have come from one of the other mill buildings. No documentation has been found to link M. Webb with the site, however.)</p><br>
<p>The site is known as Red Mills and this name has been attributed to the color of the mill buildings. It has also been called Green Mills, presumably after a subsequent owner, Russell G. Green.</p><br>
<p>Also on the property is a contributing well.</p><br>
<p>The property is currently owned by AJPA, LLC.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<p>The Bayne–Fowle House is a historic house located at 811 Prince Street in Alexandria, Virginia, United States. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on November 6, 1986. The Bayne–Fowle House is a masonry townhouse built in 1854 for William Bayne, an Alexandria-based commission merchant. It is noted for its fine mid-Victorian interiors and elaborate plasterwork. During the American Civil War the house was occupied by Northern troops and subsequently confiscated by the Federal government and converted briefly into a military hospital. Since 1871 it has been a private residence.</p><br>
<h2>Background and history</h2><br>
<p>William Bayne, a commission merchant and grocer in Alexandria, purchased the lot at 811 Prince Street in 1849. A house was constructed in 1854 but was sold to William H. Fowle, another commission merchant and the son of a Massachusetts businessman in 1855. The house served as his residence until the outbreak of the American Civil War, when he took refuge in Richmond.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<h3>Exterior</h3><br>
<p>The Bayne–Fowle House is a three-story masonry town house in the Italianate design, located in a finely preserved block of the Old Town of Alexandria. It is surrounded by houses which date to the late 18th century. The house is made of brick with a painted ashlar sandstone facade, with elongated windows, a low-pitched gable roof, and an ornamental cornice. A side conservatory and small garden are found on the eastern side (the right hand side, as seen from the street). Separating the double parlors is a pendant arcade adorned with cast-iron bosses.</p><br>
<p>The facade consists of three regular bays, with the primary entrance located on the western bay, reached by seven sandstone steps with matching cast-iron balustrades and newels. To the right of the entrance on the first floor are two floor-length windows with stone balconies and iron railings. The current exterior wooden window shutters were only added around 1975. The second and third floors of the facade each have three symmetrical windows with segmental arched lintels with a projecting cornice crowning the facade, supported by console brackets. The north elevation of the house to the rear is three bays wide, and features a small two-story masonry and frame addition on its west side. There is a frame connection to the brick garage building, erected in 1922. A brick wall was built around 1965, to border the garden to the east of the house.</p><br>
<p>The side garden contains Japanese maple trees and a row of European hornbeam trees. Evergreens line the lawn.</p><br>
<h2>Interior</h2><br>
<p>The interior is furnished with luxurious materials such as marble and gilded mirrors. The primary entrance to the house leads to a small vestibule with a second set of paired doors, opening into the first-floor stair hall. The hall has original random width heart pine floor boards and plaster walls and ceiling and wooden baseboards and is adorned by plaster cornice ornaments the hall. An open-stringer staircase with elliptical handrails is located in the hallway, leading to the second floor; a passageway concealed behind it (as one enters the house) leads to the basement. At the rear of the hall is a small bathroom and an elevator, installed around 1965.</p><br>
<p>Three sets of paired doors lead from the hall into the twin parlors and the dining room. The parlors are square in shape, and are separated by a suspended overhead pendant arcade. Eastlake-type iron gasoliers with two tiers of globes are suspended from the ceiling; these date from 1867 but have since been electrified. The floors are pine; the walls are plastered. The pendant arcade consists of two semi-circular arches and a central semi-elliptical arch, supported with cast-iron console brackets and pendant bosses. The original silver-plate doorknobs of the parlors were replaced in around 1960 with brass hardware. Pocket doors lead from the northern parlor to the dining room at the north end of the building. The mantelpiece in the dining room is made from marbleized slate and has an original pier mirror, located between the two windows on the dining room&#39;s north wall. Paired doors with glass panels lead to the polygonal room in the eastern wing which was once used as a library. The conservatory features original scalloped wooden shelves below the arched windows. The kitchen contains modern appliances.</p><br>
<p>The second floor of the Bayne–Fowle House has a similar layout to that of the first, with three bedrooms and a bathroom to the south end of the hall and a laundry and bathroom at the north end. All bedrooms have wood flooring, plaster walls and plaster ceilings and fireplaces, two of which have marble mantelpieces with the third being metal and stone.</p><br>
<p>The third floor contains three bedrooms, on the same plan as the second floor; all have diminutive marble mantelpieces. A small room at the north end of the hall serves as a kitchenette with the bathroom at the south end of the hallway. The attic is largely finished. A small unfinished room in the attic has penciled graffiti on the plastered wall believed to date back to the Civil War period. The basement, which is also largely finished space has feature bare brick walls. It also contains a bathroom and storage areas.</p><br>

<p>The Lloyd House, also known as the Wise-Hooe-Lloyd House, is a historic house and library located at 220 North Washington Street at the corner of Queen Street in the Old Town area of Alexandria, Virginia. It was built from 1796 to 1797 by John Wise, a prominent entrepreneur, in the late eighteenth-century Georgian architectural style. The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on July 12, 1976.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Lloyd House was built in 1796&ndash;97 by John Wise. It was a high status building and President George Washington was a guest there on one occasion. In 1810, Wise sold the house to Jacob Hoffman, who would later become Mayor of Alexandria. In 1824, Hoffman sold the home to James Hooe for $13,000. After his death in 1826, his widow rented out the house to an educator, Benjamin Hallowell, who used the building as a schoolhouse. When Hooes widow died in 1831, it was sold to John Lloyd. John Lloyds wife was the cousin of Robert E. Lee, who had been a student at the school. The Lloyd family owned the property for over 100 years until the 1930s. During the 1940s and 1950s, it fell into ruin, and in 1956 proposals were made to gut the building; there were opposed by the Historic Alexandria Foundation. A businessman from Wyoming, Robert V. New, bought the house, saving it from being destroyed, and financed its major renovation. Fully restored, in 1968 Lloyd House was sold to the City of Alexandria.</p><br>
<p>Lloyd House currently serves as the administrative headquarters for the Office of Historic Alexandria, a department of the City of Alexandria government. The department is dedicated to the collection and preservation of historic sites, and since 1976 the building has also housed important historical and genealogical collections which are part of the Alexandria Library. Shelving space was tripled at Lloyd House in order to store the collection which has over 4,000 books.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The Lloyd House is characteristic of the early post-colonial style in Virginia and is a fine example of Federal domestic architecture. It is a two-story rectangular brick building with a five-bay front on the Washington street side, four chimneys, and a gabled roof with three dormers. The central entrance is solid wood and is flanked by two Doric pilasters. When the house was renovated in the early 1960s, the original 18th-century Flemish bond masonry on the exterior was damaged and repainted with Portland cement and the original interior pine boards were covered with painted hardwood flooring.</p><br>
<h2>Archives</h2><br>
<p>Lloyd House has a complete collection of the Virginia census from 1790 to 1920 and related material and information on Virginia&#39;s county and city histories and genealogies. It also has African-American research materials such as the published Fairfax County and Alexandria Free Negro Registers, published records on births, obituaries, cemeteries, wills, deeds and marriage indexes, unpublished Alexandria church records, tax records, microfilm and a collection of over 9,000 Alexandria photographs and maps. Rooms of the house can also be rented for wedding receptions, conferences etc.</p><br>
<p>The Garfield County Courthouse is a historic courthouse building located in Enid, Oklahoma. It is on the National Register of Historic Places both individually and as a part of the Enid Downtown Historic District.</p><br>
<h2>Previous courthouses (1896 - 1936)</h2><br>
<p>Enids first courthouse opened on April 1, 1896. It consisted of a two-story brick building, which the County soon outgrew. Enids second courthouse was built by O.A. Campbell of Oklahoma City in 1907 from Oklahoma granite and Indiana stone. The building was located in the center of Broadway, surrounded by sidewalks, and fully landscaped. Its south side was located where the front of the Enid Post Office is now. (Enids post office used to be where the public library is located now, and Enids public library was a Carnegie building located at 402 North Independence.) On January 29, 1931, a fire broke out in the jail and spread to the roof, then quickly spread to the rest of the building. All prisoners were safely evacuated, and county records were rescued. From 1931 to 1936, the County operated out of an agricultural building, and later the Broadway Tower.</p><br>
<h2>Current courthouse</h2><br>
<p>The current Art Deco style Courthouse was built by Hawk & Parr and Reinhart & Donovan companies beginning on August 15, 1934, and was completed in 1936. The jail was refurbished in the 1960s. Garfield County Courthouse consists of county offices and courtrooms housed in the basement and first three floors, and Garfield County Jail occupies the top two floors. Funded by the Works Progress Administration Federal Art Project, artist Ruth Augur painted historical murals on the courthouse walls. In 1996, Enid artists Paladine Roye and his brother, Burgess Roye, also painted murals relating to Native American history.</p><br>

<p>The Ohio Military Institute was a higher education institution located in Cincinnati, Ohio. Founded in 1890, it closed in 1958.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Ohio Military Institute was established in 1890, on the foundation then known as Belmont College, and in the earlier days, as Farmers College. The history of the college goes back almost to the beginnings of education in the West. Farmers College was one of the first institutions of higher culture established beyond the mountains. It had a long and useful career. The roster contains the names of President Benjamin Harrison; Murat Halstead, the great editor; and Bishop John M. Walden, of the Methodist Episcopal Church.</p><br>
<p>Farmers College was begun perhaps a generation too soon for permanent success. The community had not yet accepted the concept that inspired the enterprise. To quote the language of a very old letter used in early materials, "The distinctive feature of Farmers College is the practical character of its course of instruction *** to qualify our youth for a higher position in any of the industrial pursuits." The idea expressed is today the most powerful force directing the trend of thought in education.</p><br>
<h3>Belmont College</h3><br>
<p>The history of Belmont College covers a period of transition, during which the older institution was returning gradually toward its source for the training of boys.</p><br>
<h3>Cary Academy</h3><br>
<p>The real progenitor of the Ohio Military Institute was Cary Academy, established in his own home on College Hill by Freeman Cary, in the year 1832.</p><br>
<p>The Cary family were pioneers in this part of Ohio. The father came from New England to Cincinnati as early as 1802. A few years later he purchased a large farm on the present site of College Hill. There his two sons, Freeman G., the elder, and Samuel F., grew to manhood. Sisters Alice and Phoebe Cary, the well-known poete, lived nearby, in what is now North College Hill. Both the Cary boys were graduated from Miami University at Oxford, then in its infancy. Freeman&#39;s ambition was to become an educator, and upon his graduation, he opened an academy for boys at his home. The old house still stands, a well-known landmark of the village.</p><br>
<p>Carys Academy, when opened, received four pupils, but before the year closed the eager young scholar was teaching more than a score of boys. Mr. Cary was encouraged to build, on a plot of ground just in front of the present location of the school, a small brick school building. Shortly afterward he constructed a handsome addition. Meanwhile, the school increased readily in numbers, until during the last year of the old Academy, more than 120 students were in attendance. In the twelve years during which Mr. Cary conducted his school, some 1,200 boys from all parts of the West and the South came under his instruction. His Academy was, at that time, the leading private school west of the Allegheny Mountains. He was assisted in the work by an efficient corps of instructors, several of whom were very able men, who afterward became eminent educators. Probably most loved because of his personality, and the most revered and respected because of his work, was Dr. Robert H. Bishop. He came from Miami University to Cary Academy during its last year, He remained to fill the chair of Philosophy and History in the faculty of Farmers College, Shortly before his death, in 1855, he requested that his body and that of his wife might find a last resting place on the college grounds. The letter begging this simple boon is one of the most precious archives of the college.</p><br>
<p>In 1999, part of Carys original school was listed on the National Register of Historic Places under the name "Freeman Grant Cary Pleasant Hill Academy". Embracing his house and one other building, the designation was granted both because of the buildings architecture and because of their connection to Cary, who was deemed a significant figure in local history.</p><br>

<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002.</p><br>
<p>Since then the Lodge was torn down by the state as it was in such disrepair. Only the stone foundations and cobblestone walls remain.</p><br>
<p>The Bank Lofts is a building in Denver, Colorado. Constructed in 1921, the building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Originally the US National/Guaranty Bank Building, the Bank Lofts (also known as the United States National Bank Building, US National Bank Building, Guaranty Bank Building) were designed by Arthur Addison Fisher and William Ellsworth Fisher (Fisher & Fisher) and built in 1921. The Fishers also designed other notable Denver landmarks, such as the Denver City Tramway Building at 1100 14th Street and the A. C. Foster Building at 912 16th Street. Located at 817 17th street, the Bank Lofts are a reserved architectural example of the Chicago Commercial style. The 10-story (40.23 meters high) building&#39;s façade is covered in smooth ashlar limestone and features an ornamental bronze storefront. In the 1980s, the building sat vacant and was almost demolished, but on March 25, 1994 it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places under the Historic Resources of Downtown Denver Multiple Property Submission (building number: 5DV.5300), and was subsequently renovated in 1995. The renovation costs exceeded $10.9 million, and were financed via historic rehabilitation and low-income housing tax credits and a grant from the Colorado Historical Society, along with TIF assistance from DURA. The building was reconfigured into renter-occupied apartment lofts in 1996.</p><br>
<p>Today, The Bank Lofts reside in Denver&#39;s historic district, located in the heart of downtown Denver next to LoDo and the 16th Street Mall. It is surrounded by other historic landmark buildings, such as the Boston Building (which has been converted to the Boston Lofts), the American National Bank Building, and the Denver National Bank Building. It currently houses 117 residential apartment lofts, which feature original artistic details and historic characteristics (i.e., crown molding, vaulted ceilings, etc....). The property is owned and managed by – also known as Aimco (stock ticker AIV).</p><br>

<p>The Clinton Furnace, also known as the Clinton Ironworks, is located along Clinton Road at the base of the Clinton Reservoir by the Clinton Brook in the township of West Milford in Passaic County, New Jersey, United States. The furnace was built in 1826 and was added to the National Register of Historic Places on June 18, 1976, for its significance in industry. The furnace is the last surviving structure of the iron community once known as Clinton.</p><br>
<h2>History and description</h2><br>
<p>In 1826, William Jackson, the son of Stephen Jackson from Rockaway, started construction of the furnace. It started operation in 1833, powered by the Clinton Brook. The iron ore came from local mines at Ringwood, Hibernia, Mount Pleasant, Ogdensburg and Hamburg. The furnace is 29 feet wide at the base and 40 feet high. Operations stopped in 1837. The property is now owned by the city of Newark as part of its watershed. The Clinton Reservoir was built in 1892.</p><br>
<p>The Fine Arts and Flower Building, Altamont Fairground, also known as Exhibition Hall, was built in 1896 as part of the Altamont Fairgrounds in Village of Altamont, New York, near Albany.</p><br>
<p>The building is the only part of the fairground that remains largely in its original configuration. It is a large one story cruciform building with a large open interior, representative of the architecture typical of agricultural fairgrounds in the late 19th century.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004, having been in continuous use at the fairgrounds since 1896.</p><br>
<p>The Schuyler–Colfax House is located at 2343 Paterson Hamburg Turnpike in Wayne, Passaic County, New Jersey, United States. The house was built in 1695 by Arent Schuyler. It was documented by the Historic American Buildings Survey in 1936. The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on April 3, 1973, for its significance in architecture.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Completed as a one-room farmhouse in 1695 by Arent Schuyler, the Schuyler homestead was passed to Arent Schuylers great granddaughter Hester Schuyler who married William Colfax, commander of George Washingtons Life Guards. Their grandson, Schuyler Colfax, Jr., was the 17th Vice President of the United States. The Dutch Colonial style addition to the originally brick and field-stone building was added by Colfax in 1783.</p><br>
<p>Despite the 20th century alteration of the structure to add dormers in place of "belly-windows," the Schuyler–Colfax House was added to the State and National Registers of Historic Places in 1965, a decision based upon surviving historic features and the important role the Schuyler–Colfax family has played in local history.</p><br>
<p>Today, the building operates as a museum (though it is temporarily closed to the public) after having been purchased in 1994 by Wayne Township from Dr. Jane Colfax. Until then, the house had been continuously owned and lived in by the Colfax family.</p><br>
<p>The Vreeland Homestead is a historic stone house located at 216 Chestnut Street in the township of Nutley in Essex County, New Jersey, United States. It was documented by the Historic American Buildings Survey  program in 1936. The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on October 14, 1994, for its significance in architecture. It was owned by the Woman&#39;s Club of Nutley until 2012, when the township bought the property. It is now operated by the Nutley Historical Society.</p><br>
<h2>History and description</h2><br>
<p>Previously thought to have been built in 1702 for Bastien van Giesen by Jacob Vreeland, the house is now thought to have been built after his death in 1751 for his son, Hendrick van Giesen. The property later passed to his brother, Abraham van Giesen, who sold it to Captain Abraham Speer in 1783. He soon sold it to his brother-in-law John M. Vreeland. It remained in the Vreeland family until 1909. In 1912, it was leased to the Woman&#39;s Club of Nutley, who then purchased the property in 1923. It was acquired by the township in 2012 and is now operated by the Nutley Historical Society.</p><br>
<p>The oldest section of the house was built of brownstone from a nearby quarry. In the 1800s, a two-story frame wing was added.</p><br>
<p>The Kingsland Manor is a Dutch Colonial home with Federal-style elements located at 3 Kingsland Street in Nutley, Essex County, New Jersey, United States. The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on March 24, 1978, for its significance in architecture, exploration/settlement, industry, and social history.</p><br>
<h2>History of the Kingsland Manor</h2><br>
<p>The Kingsland Manor was built in about 1768 by John Walls, who owned a nearby lumber mill, for his son James. The house was intended as a farmhouse for James and his wife Mary.</p><br>
<p>In 1787, Joseph Kingsland, a contractor living in New York City, was awarded a contract to install wooden curbing in the city. Joseph was the grandson of Isaac Kingsland, who had emigrated from Barbados to New Barbadoes (a portion of northeastern New Jersey) in 1668–1669. Joseph was raised in Isaac&#39;s home in what is currently Lyndhurst, across the Passaic River from where the lumber mill was located. To fulfill the contract, Joseph needed an ample supply of hardwood and a mill to cut it. He purchased the Walls farmhouse and the lumber mill in 1790 and spent the next six years working on the house, raising the ceilings and plastering the walls, to make the home suitable for his wife and children.</p><br>
<p>Josephs oldest son, Joseph II, partnered with his brother-in-law, Peter Morris, in a paper-making business that used sawdust waste from the lumber mill. They also branched out into other businesses that included grinding wheat and corn in a gristmill and selling ice. Joseph II inherited the Kingsland Manor and associated properties when his father died in 1821. Joseph IIs son, Joseph III, continued the family businesses until his death in 1899. Joseph IIIs sisters sold the property in 1909. The Kingsland familys direct involvement with the Kingsland Manor spanned three generations and three centuries. That period included a partnership with George La Monte to manufacture safety paper for use by banks, investment firms, and the federal government.</p><br>
<p>In 1909, a Chicago politician and lawyer named Dan McGinnity purchased the Kingsland Manor to use as a training site for pugilists. Dan partnered with Bob Fitzsimmons, a professional boxer who was the sport&#39;s first three-division world champion. “Diamond” Dan was married to Katherine Agnes and, they had a child, Bernard Charles. Bernard, nicknamed “Bus”, was educated in the Nutley School system and graduated from high school in 1919. In 1921, he became a constable in the third ward of Nutley. By 1927, he was a freelance cartoonist for the New York American newspaper. That same year, Bus opened a speakeasy in the basement of the Kingsland Manor and operated it until Prohibition ended. He then opened a private club that he called the Colonial Club. In December 1936, he lost his license after illegally serving alcohol to non-members who were also employees of the New Jersey Division of Alcohol and Beverage Control. He died at the age of 37 under murky circumstances: his body was found near a barn across from the Manor with a gun lying next to him. He had been shot in the head.</p><br>
<p>Katherine Agnes McGinnity ran the Kingsland Manor as the Nutley Private Hospital until 1938, when she lost the property to taxes. In 1939, Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Smith acquired the Manor in a sheriff&#39;s sale. Ralph was an air traffic controller at Newark Airport. In 1941, while the Smiths were living there, the Kingsland Manor was documented by the Historic American Buildings Survey (HABS) program.</p><br>
<p>In 1944, the Manor was purchased by International Telephone and Telegraph (ITT) and was the home of Vice President L. John Denny. Denny lived in the Manor until 1958, when the property was purchased by Norman and Doris Schepps. The Schepps sold many of the original furnishings from the home in their antiques store in Chatham, Massachusetts.</p><br>
<p>In 1971, the Schepps sold the Manor to a developer who approached the Nutley planning board with a proposal to subdivide the property and build four modern homes in its place. In recognition of the fact that the HABS program had found the Manor historically significant, the planning board turned down the proposal and chose to purchase the property with New Jersey Green Acres Funds. In 1974, the Historic Restoration Trust of Nutley was established as a partnership between the Friends of Kingsland Manor and the Parks and Recreation Commission of Nutley.</p><br>
<h2>Visiting the Kingsland Manor</h2><br>
<p>The Kingsland Manor is open to the public for guided tours the third Sunday of each month (except in August) from 1:00 p.m. – 4:00 p.m. Private tours can be reserved. The house is also opened to the public for educational and fundraising events.</p><br>
<h2>Exhibits at the Kingsland Manor</h2><br>
<p>The Kingsland Manor has nine rooms, each containing 18th and 19th century furniture, paintings, decorative objects, toys, and household items. Exhibits from the Roaring Twenties include items that belonged to Bus McGinnity and his wife, Lulu, and a newly restored speakeasy.</p><br>
<p>The Westervelt–Ackerson House is located in Ramsey, in Bergen County, New Jersey, United States. The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on July 20, 1977.</p><br>
<h2>Early history</h2><br>
<p>The Westervelt–Ackerson house, also known as The Old Stone House is currently believed to have been constructed in the early to mid-1700s. Corroborating evidence has been found on the grounds themselves, an old barn beam bears the date 1747 and the stone construction of the structure also supports this. The house was built as a Dutch Colonial farmhouse, its materials were Rubble, stone, clay mortar, chopped straw and hogs hair.</p><br>
<h2>Uses throughout the years</h2><br>
<p>The Old Stone Houses uses have been varied throughout the years. Originally it was built as a residence, but after its inhabitants departed it went through several transformations. It served some time as a stagecoach stop, where teams of horses were changed. Later in its life it was believed to have been a tavern. One undocumented but frequently told tale is that Aaron Burr stopped for the night for drink and sleep before he continued on to the Hermitage. In the Early 1950s the house and property were bought by the New Jersey Department of Transportation, with the intent to demolish the house in order to facilitate the construction of an overpass over Route 17. The State was convinced to spare the house by numerous petitions from groups including the Ramsey Womens Club.</p><br>
<h2>In film</h2><br>
<p>In 2000, the "Stone by Stone" docudrama of the Old Stone Houses history was recognized by the National Trust for Historic Preservation as a "Save Americas treasures project."</p><br>
<p>The Darlington Schoolhouse is located in the Darlington section of Mahwah, Bergen County, New Jersey, United States. Theodore Havemeyer, with assistance from Alfred Darling, financed the building and hired Dudley Newton to design and oversee construction. The schoolhouse was built in 1891 and added to the National Register of Historic Places on March 14, 2008. The first floor of the schoolhouse consists of a large room in which grades one through eight were taught. The second floor served as a community hall, and as a chapel used by members of the Dutch Reformed Church at Romopock. The schoolhouse has been restored by the New York–New Jersey Trail Conference, for use as its permanent headquarters.</p><br>
<p>The bridge at New Bridge Landing, New Jersey was built in 1888 to replace an earlier wooden one, and was added to the National Register of Historic Places on July 5, 1989.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>According to historian Kevin Wright, the extant iron swing bridge at New Bridge Landing occupies the site of a series of wooden drawbridges that have spanned the narrows of the Hackensack River at New Bridge since 1745. Until 1790, this was the first river crossing above Newark Bay and so carried overland traffic between Manhattan and the interior of North America. The bridge became vitally important during the American Revolution and was crossed by General George Washington at the head of the retreating garrison of Fort Lee on November 20, 1776, earning its appellation as the Bridge That Saved A Nation. Hills on either side of New Bridge were fortified during the war to defend this strategic crossing and stone houses flanking the bridge served as forts, battleground, encampment ground and military headquarters in every year of the conflict. New Bridge was literally, "the crossroads of the American Revolution," having supposedly survived more of the war than any other spot in America.</p><br>
<p>Bergen County installed the extant iron swing bridge in 1889 as part of the ongoing replacement of outdated wooden drawbridges, which slowed the passage of ship traffic on the river. A drawbridge only opened one lane of traffic, while a swing bridge opened two, allowing boats to pass simultaneously in both directions. The Bergen County Board of Chosen Freeholders instructed a Bridge Committee to proceed with plans, specifications and cost estimates for a new structure to span the Hackensack River at the village of New Bridge at a special meeting in April 1888. Freeholder Zabriskie, heading the committee, put the cost of the proposed structure at about $9,000. On June 25, 1888, the Bridge Committee revised specifications for the new bridge and decided to re-advertise for bids. On the final day of June, they adopted their plans and specifications. In July 1888, contracts for erecting an iron bridge at New Bridge were awarded on the following bids:</p><br>
<p>Bridge Contracts: New Bridge Draw — Smith Bridge Co., $4,170; Penn. $4,390; Berlin, $4,287; Dean & Westbrook, $4,330; Variety, $4,390; Columbia, $4,345; Pittsburg, $4,467; King Iron, $3,990 — King Iron awarded contract. Bids for stone work — Joseph Stagg, $3,994; S. H. Vanderbeck, $4,324. Contract to Mr. Stagg.</p><br>
<p>Joseph W. Stagg, House Mover and Bridge Builder, resided in the Highland section of Englewood. In the final week of August 1888, Joseph Stagg commenced tearing down the bridge at New Bridge and began laying stone for the abutments. By the close of November 1888, the people of New Bridge were indignant. The old bridge had been torn down about August first and although contractor Joseph Stagg had completed his portion of the contract, no attempt had been made on the part of the new contractors to do their work and open the highway. A fire at their Cleveland foundry reportedly delayed the King Iron Bridge Company from completing its manufacture of bridge parts (perhaps explaining why the trusses bear the imprint of "Phoenix Iron"). The new iron swing bridge at New Bridge was finally opened on Monday, February 4, 1889. At their monthly meeting on that same date, the Board of Chosen Freeholders were presented a bill for $100 in favor of Joseph Stagg for building a temporary foot-bridge across the Hackensack River at Cherry Hill, which apparently served the citizens of New Bridge during the six months that they waited for the iron bridge to be installed. On March 2, 1889, Nicholas B. Demarest completed the work of filling in the approaches to the new span across the river at New Bridge. In June 1891, the Freeholders authorized payment of the following bridge-keepers: at Old Bridge, Bloomer Brothers, $20; at New Bridge, Abraham Leggett, $60. On August 15, 1892, according to newspaper reports, "a quartet of Hackensack youth with more or less “tanglefoot” on board, did considerable mischief at Cherry Hill and New Bridge," placing the key to the drawbridge in position, thus endangering travel over the draw. A wooden sidewalk was built on the north side of the bridge in 1900.</p><br>
<p>On November 14, 1906, the caboose on the freight train, due at the Cherry Hill Station about 6:30 p.m., derailed while being switched from the northbound to the southbound tracks, thereby delaying traffic for about two hours. On the same night, the New Bridge got stuck in open position after passage of a boat, further delaying the people who had already been delayed by the caboose accident.</p><br>
<p>The bridge remained operational, principally for coal and lumber barges, until 1940 when replacement of the downstream bridge at Anderson Street, Hackensack, with a fixed span, closed the river upstream to navigation. A new roadway for extending Hackensack Avenue beyond its intersection with Main Street in River Edge, to an extension of New Bridge Road in New Milford was laid out in 1956 across the northwest corner of the Bergen County Historical Societys property, to a new concrete-and-steel bridge over the Hackensack River, 500 north of the iron truss bridge. Thus, the Bergen County Historical Society prevented construction of an elevated highway bridge immediately adjacent to the south gable-end of the historic Steuben House. The closing of the 1889 swing bridge to automotive traffic turned Main Street, River Edge, into a dead-end in front of the Steuben House. Old New Bridge Road (on the boundary between New Milford and Teaneck) likewise became a dead end.</p><br>
<p>The Army Corps of Engineers planned to destroy the old bridge as soon as the new one was completed. The Bergen County Historical Society and the Dumont Women&#39;s Club successfully petitioned to keep the historic span for a pedestrian crossing. Colonel John T. O’Neill, of the Army Corps of Engineers, yielded to Freeholder Walter M. Neill, who promised that Bergen County would henceforth maintain the old bridge, if it were spared.</p><br>
<p>Historians Claire Tholl and Kevin Wright provided the research for its listing on the New Jersey and National Registers of Historic Places as the "Draw Bridge at New Bridge" in 1989 to commemorate its centennial. It is recognized as the oldest surviving highway swing-bridge in the State of New Jersey. It can no longer rotate because it has been welded to the piers at either end.</p><br>
<p>With approval from the Historic New Bridge Landing Park Commission, Bergen County completed a rehabilitation and historic restoration of the 1889 Swing Bridge in October 2003.</p><br>

<h2>Name</h2><br>
<p>Gethsemane (Greek ΓεΘσημανἰ, Gethsēmani Hebrew:גת שמנים, Aramaic:גת שמני, Gath-Šmânê, Assyrian ܓܕܣܡܢ, Gat Šmānê, lit. "oil press") is a garden at the foot of the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem, most famous as the place where Jesus and his disciples prayed the night before Jesus&#39; crucifixion.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The cemetery was opened in 1860 as a burial ground for nearby African-American residents. In 1901 the cemetery was turned over to seven African-American trustees and incorporated as Gethsemane Cemetery. Over 500 people were buried in less than an acre of land. The last burial occurred in 1924. Bergen County took over the maintenance of the cemetery in 1985 and dedicated it as a County Historic Site. Fewer than 50 gravestones remain intact.</p><br>
