<p>The Binnewater Historic District is a national historic district located at Rosendale in Ulster County, New York, United States. The district originally included nine contributing buildings built during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. They were all frame structures and included a railroad depot, a privy, a general store that was also a post office, a livery stable, two houses, a wagon shed, and two barns. The general store served as an unofficial railroad depot for the Wallkill Valley Railroad from 1875 until 1883, when the railroad constructed the actual station. The station was located too close to Binnewater Road, and was hit repeatedly by trucks. In May 1989, a large piece of the building broke off and fell into the street. The structure was subsequently demolished.</p><br>
<p>The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>

<p>The Trapps Mountain Hamlet Historic District is located on the Shawangunk Ridge in Gardiner, New York, United States. It is a large area that covers the site of a settlement that thrived there from the late 18th to mid-20th centuries. Inhabitants practiced subsistence farming, making it one of the rare such communities in the East to have left any trace remaining. They supplemented that with a variety of other trades, primarily in the forest products industry, with most inhabitants gradually coming to work at nearby mountain resorts in the 20th century. The last resident died in 1956.</p><br>
<p>Only foundations remain for most of the buildings, and only six remain standing. Those that do show a unique structural system that suggests an influence of the Native American tribes that lived in the area at the time it was settled. Today most of them are on protected lands in the area, with a few privately owned. In 2000 the area was designated a historic district and listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>The Trapps historic district contains about 433 acres centered along the US 44/NY 55 highway and the Coxing Kill atop the Shawangunk in the northwestern portion of Gardiner, with some portions overlapping into neighboring Rochester. Most of that area is now reforested, part of the Mohonk Preserve or Minnewaska State Park Preserve, or privately owned. A network of hiking trails and unpaved carriage roads can be accessed from the two nature preserves.</p><br>
<p>The nearest large villages to the Trapps were New Paltz to the east and High Falls to the northeast. The mountainous topography of the area has been sculpted in large part by glacial action and stream erosion by the Coxing Kill and Peters Kill, which provided water and water power for the Trapps people. Over time, however, these two natural forces resulted in shallow, rocky soil, which helped to limit the hamlet&#39;s population.</p><br>
<p>The district&#39;s highest elevation is roughly 1,100 feet above sea level, falling to about 700 feet at its lowest point. Directly east are the Trapps and Near Trapps climbing cliffs, which face New Paltz and are managed by the Mohonk Preserve. The gap or notch between these cliff escarpments has provided access for traffics over the centuries, including the modern-day USA Route 44/55.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>During the colonial era, much of the northern Shawangunks were first partitioned into two land patents, the Groote Transport ("Great Transaction") Patent of 1730, and the Nineteen Partners Tract of 1770. These land patents covered most of the eastern portion of the colonial Town of Rochester and opened the way for settlement of the Trapps after the Revolutionary War. Early settlers moving up from the surrounding valleys were primarily of Dutch descent, with one or two families of English descent.</p><br>
<p>A will of the 1780s refers to a sawmill site later associated with the Enderly family. For about a century, Enderly families operated their farm, sawmill, and blacksmith forge on the Coxing Kill at the intersection of a centuries-old path and an unpaved colonial road. The Trapps hamlet itself grew along the Coxing Kill in the upper Clove, a Dutch word meaning cleft or valley.</p><br>
<p>Trapps families built homes of log, plank, and frame. A plank house is unique as a type of American vernacular architecture. It consists of vertical planks, or rough-cut thick boards, which were nailed together to form walls, raised in place, and connected at the corners with simple lap joints. There are no corner posts or studs. Planks and hand-hewn beams provided the basic structure or skeleton of the house. Due to the hamlet&#39;s isolation, a cultural lag existed there, with the Trapps people continuing to build log and plank houses through the 1800s.</p><br>
<p>Thin, rocky soil prevented the establishment of large farms in the Trapps. Families grew a few acres of corn, buckwheat, rye, oats, or potatoes; they kept a horse, cow or two, a handful of chickens, perhaps a few pigs. They supplemented their subsistence farm crops by selling butter, fruit, and eggs. Trapps men also shaved barrel hoops; peeled hemlock and oak bark for nearby leather tanneries; carved millstones from conglomerate rock; and burned charcoal. The Van Leuvens were a Trapps family widely known for burning Shawangunk charcoal.</p><br>
<p>Huckleberry picking was a major cash crop for the Trapps people from the 1800s to the mid-1900s. Families, from toddlers to grandparents, entered the berry woods from July to September, filling pails and buckets by the thousands. Pickers frequently set the woods on fire to create conditions more favorable to the berrys growth. At least one Trapps family spent summers in the vicinity of Sams Point above Ellenville, where seasonal berry camps became popular after 1900.</p><br>
<p>By the 1840s, the Trapps hamlet was large enough to support its own one-room school, with one established in 1850. Seven years later, the New Paltz and Wawarsing Turnpike was built through the Trapps; present-day USA Route 44/55 follows much of the old turnpike route. Turnpike investors hoped to open up markets for products from the Catskills, but within a few years the turnpike went bankrupt. Still, it allowed increased traffic through the Trapps, and the hamlet grew to include a hotel, boarding houses, a store and a chapel. In 1887, Philip H. Smith noted these features in his book, "Legends of the Shawangunks." The 1880s and 1890s were the peak years of the hamlet when about 40 to 50 families lived in the Trapps.</p><br>
<p>In 1859, John F. Stokes established the first mountain inn and tavern at Mohonk Lake. In 1869, Quaker Twins Albert and Alfred Smiley acquired the property, expanded the inn into a mountain house-styled hotel, and began buying available land to provide a natural retreat for their guests. In 1879, Alfred left Mohonk to open his first of two mountain houses at Minnewaska Lake to the south.</p><br>
<p>These mountain hotels provided steadier employment for the Trapps people, even as many sold their land to the Smiley families at either lake. Skilled men were also needed to build the mountain houses, as well as a network of trails and unpaved carriage roads for guest use. The Trapps, the Clove, and neighboring sister hamlets provided that skilled labor.</p><br>
<p>The hamlet declined after 1900 as technological advances replaced mountain industries. Wooden hoops for securing barrel staves gave way to steel hoops; millstones bowed out to steel. About 1907, the Town of Gardiner abandoned part of Van Leuven Road, a main north-south route in the Trapps; the town could no longer afford its maintenance. Pandemics, such as the Spanish Flu of 1918, also reduced the population.</p><br>
<p>The construction of USA Route 44/55 in the late 1920s helped accelerate the decline of the Trapps. The new, paved highway bypassed the hamlet center and cut some properties in two. Many of the remaining residents sold out completely and moved to nearby villages, such as Ellenville, Walden, and New Paltz, where they found work and a better way of life.</p><br>
<p>Irving Van Leuven was the last Trapps resident to live the old ways. Born and raised in the Trapps, Irv lived in a house without electricity or running water until his death in 1956. Irv was the last in the Trapps to burn charcoal and shave barrel hoops, skills he had learned from his father and grandfather.</p><br>
<p>Another Van Leuven home, bought in the 1920s by Mohonk Mountain House, became part of the Mohonk Preserve later in the century. During the 1960s and for several decades after, members of the Appalachian Mountain Club leased this house, affectionately known as the Appy Cabin, as a base for rock climbing on the nearby cliffs. Recognizing the building&#39;s value, the Mohonk Preserve restored the cabin, renamed it in honor of its last resident Eli Van Leuven, and opened it as a historic structure.</p><br>
<p>The Mohonk Preserve also secured designation for the Trapps mountain hamlet as a historic district on the New York State and National Registers for Historic Places. In addition, Preserve staff has identified about 65 cultural and historic sites within the district, including cellar holes (stone foundations) of former buildings, water-powered sawmills, bridge abutments, stone walls, stone quarries, charcoal pits, and burying grounds (cemeteries).</p><br>
<p>The Smiley hotels at Minnewaska were bought by the Phillips family in 1955 but were closed down in the 1970s. Both hotels burned down, and a proposal by the Marriott Corporation to redevelop the area as a private resort and condominiums led to widespread opposition. As a result, New York State arranged for the Palisades Interstate Park Commission to buy the property and manage it as Minnewaska State Park Preserve, putting that section of the Trapps mountain hamlet into public ownership.</p><br>
<h2>Visiting the Trapps Mountain Hamlet</h2><br>
<p>Eli Van Leuven Cabin. Built about 1889 in the plank house style, this is the only remaining building of the former Trapps hamlet on Mohonk Preserve land. The Preserve restored the cabin and opens it periodically for guided tours, which are announced on the Preserve&#39;s.</p><br>
<p>The Trapps Mountain Hamlet Path leading to the Eli Van Leuven Cabin. Following the old Van Leuven Road, this path is accessed from the Mohonk Preserves West Trapps Trailhead on USA Route 44/55. A guide to the path is available at the trailhead kiosk or from the Preserves Visitor Center on USA Route 44/55. Along the path, visitors can discover the following:</p><br>
<p>- An abandoned millstone quarry, where Trapps stonecutters once blasted out stone slabs to carve and finish into millstones.</p><br>
<p>- An old bridge abutment, where a bridge once allowed people, horses, and wagons to cross the brook.</p><br>
<p>- An old stone fence or wall, which served as a boundary or field marker. Ben Fowler of the Trapps owned this property of about 150 acres, keeping about a third as pasture and meadow, and a few acres in rye, oats, and buckwheat for family use.</p><br>
<p>- Fowler burying ground, where Ben Fowler and other members of his family are buried, including several of his young grandchildren. The earliest headstone dates to 1866. At the end of the path beyond the burying ground is the Eli Van Leuven Cabin.</p><br>
<p>Visitors can also see remains of the former Enderly sawmill and farm, including the Enderly family burying ground, by driving west along USA Route 44/55 a short distance past the West Trapps Trailhead, and turning right onto Clove Road to the Preserve&#39;s Coxing Trailhead.</p><br>

<p>The Boschke&ndash;Boyd House is a Tudor Revival style house in Northeast Portland, Oregon. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2005.</p><br>
<p>It was built around 1910, and is "a fine example of the Tudor/Jacobethan style with Classical interior influences, designed by prominent and prolific architect, Joseph Jacobberger of the firm Jacobberger and Smith."</p><br>
<p>It was deemed significant for its association with William E. Boyd, the owner and general manager of the Benson Hotel in Portland</p><br>
<p>for 36 years, who lived in the house for 28 years.</p><br>
<p>The Reed–Wells House is a historic building in Portland, Oregon, United States. Built in 1905, it is significant as a well-preserved example of the development of the Sullivans Gulch neighborhood during Portlands building boom of the early parts of the 20th century. Developers modeled Sullivan&#39;s Gulch on the success of nearby Irvington, including the use of restrictive deed covenants, so that it unfolded as a neighborhood of single-family homes affordable for the expanding middle class. Beginning in the 1960s, increased commercial and multi-family construction altered this neighborhood character, decreasing the dominance of houses such as the Reed–Wells House. Secondarily, the house is a rare residential product of noted architect Otto Kleemann.</p><br>
<p>The house was entered on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004.</p><br>
<p>The Elkhorn Ranch was established by Theodore Roosevelt on the banks of the Little Missouri River 35 miles north of Medora, North Dakota in the summer of 1884. Roosevelt hired Bill SewallEdward Wiggin in his History of Aroostook  tells that Wm. W. Sewall "has for years been a friend and companion of Theodore Roosevelt of New York, who formerly came to Island Falls every summer for a few weeks&#39; outing. A few years ago Mr. Sewall went with Mr. Roosevelt to Dakota and for two years took charge of a large cattle ranch for that gentleman .</p><br>
<p>Bill Sewall was a son of Levi Sewall, one of the two first pioneers who settled Island Falls in the county of Aroostook in 1843. and Wilmot Dow, two Maine woodsmen, to run the ranch. Sewall and Dow built the ranch house, "a long, low house of logs," in the winter of 1884–1885.</p><br>
<p>The Elkhorn Ranch was Theodore Roosevelt&#39;s "main ranch", and his preferred ranch house because it was larger and more private than his Maltese Cross Ranch cabin, established in 1883. Roosevelt particularly enjoyed sitting in the veranda in a rocking chair, reading in the shade of the cottonwood trees. His enjoyment is evident in his books, Ranch Life and the Hunting Trail, Hunting Trips of a Ranchman, and The Wilderness Hunter.</p><br>
<p>In the spring of 1886, thieves stole Roosevelt&#39;s boat from the Elkhorn Ranch. Sewall and Dow hastily built a raft and all three set off downriver to catch the thieves. When they did, Roosevelt kept watch over the three thieves with a shotgun and marched them overland to Dickinson, North Dakota, where he collected a $50 reward.</p><br>
<p>Roosevelt quit the ranch in 1887 after losing 60% of his stock in the starvation winter of 1886–87, and returned only a handful of times to the badlands after that. He kept a small share of the cattle until 1898 at the outset of the Spanish–American War.</p><br>
<p>Theodore Roosevelt&#39;s writing desk from the Elkhorn Ranch is on display at Theodore Roosevelt National Park. The Elkhorn Ranch Site itself is protected as a unit of Theodore Roosevelt National Park, and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>The Buckler–Henry House, also known as the Grace Peck House, is a historic house in Portland, Oregon, United States. It is one of Portland&#39;s few remaining examples of 19th-century brick residential construction. John Buckler built the house in 1891 for Charles K. Henry, a real estate developer who platted the neighborhood in 1890, and subsequently purchased it. Prominent later residents included steamboat captain Jules Olivier and his daughter Grace Olivier Peck, who served in the Oregon House of Representatives for 22 years between 1948 and 1977. In her public life, she focused on social welfare issues and received many accolades from colleagues, governors, and the public.</p><br>
<p>The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.</p><br>
<p>The Jacobs–Wilson House, also known as Tabor Swiss Chalet, is a Swiss Chalet-style house in Portland, Oregon that was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1981.</p><br>
<p>Built in 1913, it is a two-and-a-half-story wood-frame house built on a native stone foundation. It was the first house built on Thorburn Avenue, on the west slope of Mt. Tabor, in an area which eventually developed into a fine residential neighborhood. It has an expansive view across the valley of the Willamette River to Portland&#39;s west hills.</p><br>
<p>The house is said to have been built to plans from Switzerland, and to have met a request of Bolina Jacobs to her son Frederick Alva Jacobs.</p><br>
<p>The Hunter–Morelock House is a historic house located at 104 Holmes St. in Wallowa, Oregon. The house was built in 1903 for Charles A. Hunter, a Wallowa politician and businessmen; it was later purchased by J. P. Morelock, one of the founders and later mayor of Wallowa. The house&#39;s design incorporates the bungalow and Queen Anne styles; the design includes a veranda, a hip roof with a small dormer, and a double-hung sash central window. The dormer is trimmed in Eastlake style trim, and art glass is used extensively in the entrance and several interior windows.</p><br>
<p>The Hunter&ndash;Morelock House was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on February 28, 1985.</p><br>
<p>The Warwick is a historic hotel located at 1701 Locust Street in the Rittenhouse Square neighborhood of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.</p><br>

<p>The building has been divided into condominiums and a hotel that operated as the Radisson Blu Warwick Hotel in the past, but is now an independent hotel, the Warwick Rittenhouse Square Philadelphia.</p><br>
<p>The Cecil and Hermione Alexander House, also known as Shenandoah, in Atlanta, Georgia is a modern, circular plan house designed by, and home for, Atlanta architect Cecil Alexander. The home was featured in Progressive Architecture in 1959 and in Life in 1959 and 1961. One aspect commented on was its supposedly inexpensive cable-suspended plywood roof.</p><br>
<p>According to the National Park Service:</p><br>
<p>The Cecil and Hermione Alexander House is a modern house with a circular plan designed by Atlanta architect Cecil Alexander as his family’s residence. Completed in 1957, the house was one of the first modernist houses in Atlanta. The home features curved brick walls, flat roof, and sheet glass walls, and is organized around a central court, while the folded-plate roof floods the interior with light. According to Alexander, the circular plan “is so arranged that the family at least once or twice a day has to get together, just by necessity.”</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the USA National Register of Historic Places on March 25, 2010.</p><br>
<p>The central courtyard was originally designed to encircle an old oak tree on the property, but the tree was not in good enough condition to be kept.</p><br>
<p>St. Louis Catholic Church is a historic Roman Catholic church in North Star, Ohio, United States. Constructed in the early twentieth century, it is one of the newest churches in a heavily Catholic region of far western Ohio, but it has been recognized as a historic site because of its unique architecture.</p><br>
<h2>Parish history</h2><br>
<p>The parish that became St. Louis Church was established in the vicinity of North Star in 1892; at this time, it was dedicated to St. John, and its first church was located in the countryside nearly 2 mi east of North Star. Shortly after this building was completed in 1893, the parish was attached for administrative purposes to St. Denis parish in Versailles, approximately 7 mi to the southeast. In 1906, the attachment was changed to St. Nicholas parish in Osgood, only 3 mi away to the northeast. By the early 1910s, the parish had decided to move to North Star, and its new building was completed in the village in 1914. Still remaining at the church&#39;s original site is the parish cemetery, which lies at the intersection of Mangen and North Star-Fort Loramie Roads.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The church is a rectangular, single-story structure with multiple gables and an off-center square bell tower. Walls of white-painted stucco rest on a concrete foundation and are topped by an asphalt roof. The interior is lit by windows of many shapes and sizes: a rose window is located above the entrance, wide stained glass windows topped with rounded arches line the walls, and narrow rectangular windows appear in the tower. While the church reflects a range of architectural styles, many of its elements, such as the cornices on the bell tower, bear evidence of the French Renaissance style. No other Catholic church in the region resembles St. Louis Church; the ecclesiastical architecture of the region typically employs the Gothic Revival style.</p><br>
<h2>Rectory</h2><br>
<p>Adjacent to the church on the west is a brick rectory; built in 1914, it replaced a small wooden rectory that has since been moved to a different part of the village. Constructed in a vernacular style, it is a square two-story structure with an ashlar foundation and an enclosed front porch. A hip roof of asbestos shingle, pierced by multiple dormers, covers the building. Among its most striking features is a stone cross, located between the second-story windows on the front of the house.</p><br>
<h2>Recent history</h2><br>
<p>In 1977, the church and rectory were recorded by an architectural survey, the Ohio Historic Inventory; it assessed both buildings as being in good condition without any threats to their integrity. Two years later, the buildings were listed together on the National Register of Historic Places because of their architectural significance. Twenty-five other churches, including two others in northeastern Darke County, were listed on the National Register at the same time as part of a multiple property submission of properties in western Ohio related to the Missionaries of the Precious Blood. St. Louis&#39;s architecture is highly distinctive from and unique among the other churches of the area. In contrast to the French architecture of St. Louis Church, most of these churches feature tall Gothic Revival towers visible from a significant distance. The massive towers of the Gothic Revival churches are the namesakes for this region of western Ohio, which has been nicknamed the "Land of the Cross-Tipped Churches."</p><br>
<p>Today, St. Louis Church is an active parish of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati. It is part of the Northwest 5 family of parishes with St. Remys in Russia, St. Denis in Versailles, Holy Family in Frenchtown, St. Marys in Greenville and St. Nicholas in Osgood.</p><br>
<p>The Ansel B. Cook House, is a historic house museum in Libertyville, Illinois, United States. It was built as a Victorian house for contractor and politician Ansel B. Cook in 1878. In his will, Cook donated the home to be used as a public library, although it remained for many years the residence of Cooks longer-lived widow. After Emily Barrows Cooks death, the building received a major Neoclassical renovation that converted it into a library, opening to the public in 1921.</p><br>
<p>By the 1960s the library had outgrown the space available, and voters approved a referendum to construct a new library. The new facility of what is now the Cook Memorial Public Library District opened directly behind the Cook House in 1968.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the USA National Register of Historic Places in 2001. Today the Libertyville–Mundelein Historical Society operates the house as a Victorian house museum.</p><br>
<p>The Center Wheeling Market is a historic public market located along Market Street between 22nd and 23rd Streets in Wheeling, Ohio County, West Virginia. It consists of the Center Wheeling Market building as well as the Center Wheeling Fish Market. The 1853 Center Wheeling Market building was designed by architect Thomas Pope as an open market. The building is of neo-classical style with three bays and structural cast iron Doric order columns. It has a gable roof and features a belfry complete with bell. The 1890 open brick, neo-Romanesque section was designed by Wheeling architect Edward B. Franzheim. It has brick piers that support a hipped roof with cross gables and a three-foot overhang. In 1900, a wooden enclosure was built at the northern bay to house the Center Wheeling Fish Market.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places for Ohio County on February 20, 1975. The property is also located in the Centre Market Square Historic District.</p><br>
<p>The Oliver H. Bair Funeral Home is an historic, American building that is located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.</p><br>
<h2>History and architectural features</h2><br>
<p>The five-story building, which was built in 1907 from the designs of architect John T. Windrim, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982. It was added to the Philadelphia Register of Historic Places on February 8, 1995.</p><br>
<p>The building is now occupied by luxury department clothing store Boyds Philadelphia. The funeral home company has moved to Upper Darby Township, Pennsylvania.</p><br>
<p>The Blaine Hill "S" Bridge is located over Wheeling Creek at the western boundaries of Blaine in Belmont County, Ohio, United States. The bridge was designated the Ohio Bicentennial Bridge in 2003, and was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on March 17, 2010.</p><br>
<p>Built in 1826, the Blaine Hill Bridge is the oldest standing bridge in Ohio. Its three stone arches span approximately 385 ft.</p><br>
<p>The Fulton–Taylor House is a historic house located in The Dalles, Oregon, United States. Built and modified in phases between circa 1858 and circa 1930, this house is only one of a few remaining houses of similar age and style in The Dalles. James Fulton  emigrated to Oregon on the Oregon Trail, and eventually established himself as a cattle rancher, leader of the settler militia, and a state legislator. The Rev. O.D. Taylor  was a Baptist minister, but was far more noted as the driving force behind a major, failed, but long-running real estate scheme that was widely regarded as fraudulent.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>The Heimrich–Seufert House  is a historic house in The Dalles, Oregon, United States.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Built in 1927, the Tudor Revival style was home to two prominent figures in commerce and industry in The Dalles. John G. Heimrich (in residence 1927–1931) was a leader in the development of short line railroads in Oregon, whose career mirrored the decline of such railroads in the face of the internal combustion engine. Edward Seufert (in residence 1933–1966) managed a cannery that was founded in his familys interests in the Columbia River salmon fishery. The houses original designer Eugene C. Price was a self-trained but well-regarded architect of the Pacific Northwest during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. When Seufert acquired the house, he had it remodeled by the firm of Barrett & Logan, emphasizing Tudor Revival details. By the late 20th century, it was recognized as the finest Tudor house in the city.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on June 1, 1990.</p><br>
<p>St. Nicholas Catholic Church is a historic Roman Catholic church in Osgood, Ohio, United States. Built in the first years of the 20th century, it houses one of the newest parishes in a heavily Catholic region of far western Ohio, but it has been recognized as a historic site for its architecture.</p><br>
<h2>Parish history</h2><br>
<p>Although Osgood lies near such heavily Catholic communities such as Minster and Fort Loramie, its early settlers were predominantly Protestant. Accordingly, the formation of a Catholic parish in Osgood came far later than the formation of parishes in nearby villages; St. Augustines Church in Minster and St. Michaels Church in Fort Loramie were established by 1850, In its earliest years, the Mass was celebrated in common buildings; after worshipping for a time in a school, the parishioners purchased a barn for ecclesiastical purposes. For many years, the improvement of the parish&#39;s facilities was hindered by its size; the fewness of its members meant that money was frequently scarce. Nevertheless, parishioners took significant steps in late 1906; their first temporary church was completed in September, and in this year they purchased a tract of land on the eastern side of the village. Construction of a permanent brick church soon began, and the finished church was dedicated on September 6, 1908 after costing $22,000. By 1914, membership had increased to eighty-five families from just thirty-five families in 1906.</p><br>
<h2>Structure</h2><br>
<p>The church rests upon a stone foundation with a basement. Brick walls, trimmed with stone, are laid in a stretcher bond, and the building is covered by an asphalt roof. Its plan is primarily that of a rectangle, but gables on each side have the effect of forming a slight transept.</p><br>
<p>The churchs dominant feature is its octagonal steeple, located atop a tower at the entrance. Equipped with a belfry and ornamented with corbelling, the tower is topped with a golden cross. Worshippers enter the church through a vestibule and proceed through the base of the tower; until the addition with the vestibule was built in 1970, the churchs exterior doors were a part of the tower.</p><br>
<h2>Rectory</h2><br>
<p>Parishioners erected a brick rectory for their pastor in 1914. Supported by a foundation with a basement and topped with an asphalt hip roof, the two-story house lies adjacent to the churchs eastern side. Among its features are a porch that faces the church on the houses western side and a dormer that pierces the house&#39;s southern roof. The house is a square, three bays wide on each of its sides.</p><br>
<h2>Preservation</h2><br>
<p>In 1977, an architectural survey ranked St. Nicholas Church in good condition, both inside and out; it was noted that there were no significant threats to the buildings continued existence. Two years later, the church and its rectory were added together to the National Register of Historic Places for their architectural significance. Twenty-six other church buildings in the Land of the Cross-Tipped Churches were listed on the National Register at the same time; two others in Darke County, St. Louis Church in North Star and Holy Family Church in Frenchtown, were among these churches.</p><br>
<p>Today, St. Nicholas remains an active parish of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati. It is clustered with St. Louis parish in North Star and St. Remy&#39;s Catholic Church in Russia; the entire cluster is a part of the Sidney Deanery.</p><br>
<p>The F. H. Miller House is a historic building located in the central part of Davenport, Iowa, United States. The house served as the official residence for two of Davenport&#39;s Catholic bishops and as a bed and breakfast. In 2008, the building then housed the Office of Advancement and Alumni Relations for St. Ambrose University, and was called the St. Ambrose Alumni House. In November of 2023, it was purchased privately from the university and is now. The property is currently being restored and preserved as best as possible to many of its original styles and furnishings. has recently began business and is operating as a boutique hotel and event rental center for various gatherings. It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1983.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The house was built by John Drew for John Dahms in 1871. He lost his fortune and was forced to sell the house in a sheriffs sale in 1880 to Frank H. Miller, a wholesale grocer. He had been Davenports largest wholesale grocer and jobber from the Civil War to the turn of the 20th century.</p><br>
<p>In 1907 the house was purchased by the Catholic Diocese of Davenport for $26,500 and it became the residence and headquarters for the diocese&#39;s bishop, James Davis. Previous bishops had resided at the Antoine LeClaire House in Davenport. Bishop Davis moved into the Miller House on June 24, and a desk was placed in the corner of the living room for the Rev. Joseph P. Stahl, who served as both chancellor and secretary to the bishop. He continued to live in the residence until his death in 1926. His successor, Henry Rohlman, lived in the house until 1933 when he moved to the Selma Schricker House on Clay Street. The Miller House became the novitiate for the Sisters of St. Francis of Clinton, Iowa. After the sisters moved out in 1941 it was bought by Thomas Hinrichsen and the house was divided into six apartments to house workers at the Rock Island Arsenal. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<p>The house was bought from Hinrichsen by Herb Tyler in 1989 and was completely renovated and turned into a bed and breakfast called the Bishop&#39;s House Inn, which was named after the two bishops who had made it their home. St. Ambrose University bought the bed and breakfast in 1995 and operated it until May 2008. At that time the building was repurposed to hold private and public functions on the ground floor, and office space on the upper floors.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>W. L. Carroll was the architect for the residence, which was built in the Italianate style by John Drew.</p><br>
<p>The H.H. Champlin House is a two-and-one half-story sandstone building designed in the Tudor Revival style. The house, completed in 1939, is located at 612 S. Tyler in Enid, Oklahoma. It is located within the Kisner Heights addition to the city of Enid, developed from farmland formerly owned by R.H. Kisner. Architects Roy Shaw and Norris Wheeler designed the house. The D.C. Bass Company constructed the main house with walls of Briar Hill sandstone and Vermont slate roofing and terrace. A variety of windows were custom made for the house by Kawneer Company of Niles, Michigan. Jacoby Art Glass Company of St. Louis, Missouri, created art glass insets for the Tudor arch windows, featuring scenes from Oklahoma history. The property also includes a carport and greenhouse. The property is currently owned by Enid businessman and attorney James Sears Bryant.</p><br>
<h2>H.H. Champlin</h2><br>
<p>Herbert Hiram Champlin was born to Charles Augustus Champlin and Alice Pickard on February 18, 1868, in Winnebago County, Illinois. He was the oldest of six sons, and one daughter who died at the age of three years. C.A. Champlin served in the Union Army in the Civil War, along with his two brothers Bradford and Joel, who died in the war. H.H. Champlins family moved to McPherson County, Kansas, where his father soon died. H.H. Champlin graduated from McPherson High School, and then attended Friends University and Hills Business College. Champlin married Ary Delight Noble on November 14, 1895. They had four children. Herbert H. Champlin died on April 30, 1944.</p><br>
<h2>First National Bank of Enid</h2><br>
<p>Champlin participated in the land run of 1893, investing in the Enid State Guaranty Bank. Champlin became ill and returned to Kansas. Upon recovery returned to operate a lumber yard with operations in Enid, Hobart, Kingfisher and Lawton. Charley and Sherman Goltry had taken control of the Bank during Champlin&#39;s absence, and Champlin repurchased the bank from them. During the wave of bank closings in March 1933, Governor William H. Murray ordered all banks in the State of Oklahoma to close. Champlin refused and continued to operate the bank which was financially sound. In response, the governor called out the National Guard. Captain Stephen J. England led eighteen militia men into town to close the bank, earning the First National Bank of Enid the distinction of the only bank ever to be closed by the military in American history. Although it survived the depression, the bank was among several banks in Enid that closed in the 1980s as a result of a bad economy.</p><br>
<h2>Champlin Oil Company</h2><br>
<p>In 1916, oil was discovered at Garber Field. Champlin bought the mineral rights from George Beggs, a farmer who resided in the area. Ary Champlin had encouraged him to do so. He purchased a small refinery from Victor Bolene, and built a pipeline between it and Garber Field. In 1920, he purchased the Goodwell Oil Company which consisted of several bulk plants and service stations. During his lifetime, the Champlin Oil Company expanded to operate service stations and wholesale outlets in twenty midwestern states and drilling and production operations in Oklahoma, Texas, Colorado, and New Mexico. By Mr. Champlin&#39;s death in 1944, the company employed over 800 people in Enid.</p><br>
<p>Following nine years of continued family ownership, the company went public in 1953.</p><br>
<p>It had several owners:</p><br>
<p>1954: Purchased by the Chicago Corporation for $55,000,000. This parent company changed its name to Champlin Refining Company in 1956.</p><br>
<p>1964: The Celanese Company purchased the company.</p><br>
<p>1970: The company was sold to Union Pacific Corporation and was kept as a wholly owned subsidiary.</p><br>
<p>1984: The Retail business of Champlin was purchased by American Petrofina, after Champlin closed the refinery.</p><br>
<p>around 1986, Union Pacific Corporation and Champlin Petroleum Company sold the Corpus Christi Refinery. The Champlin trade name was part of the deal. Champlin&#39;s name was changed to Union Pacific Resources Company (UPRC).</p><br>
<p>During late 1990s, Union Pacific Corporation spun off the Union Pacific Resources Company.</p><br>
<p>2000: Anadarko Petroleum acquired Union Pacific Resources.</p><br>
<p>The Greenville Carnegie Library is a historic library on the edge of downtown Greenville, Ohio, United States. A Carnegie library built for the community in the early 20th century, the library and an adjacent school building have been designated a historic site because of their landmark architecture.</p><br>
<h2>Early history</h2><br>
<p>Soon after F. Gillum Cromer became the superintendent of the Greenville city school system in 1888, he began to plan for the creation of a library for the citys students. Financing for the library was largely dependent on the children of the city, who performed entertainments on Washingtons Birthday; the monies earned were used to pay for the books and for the upkeep of the library system. As the library increased in size, it was decided to expand it and to open it to members of the public. From 1892 to 1901, the library was housed in the basement of a store on Fifth Street.</p><br>
<h2>Construction</h2><br>
<p>In the spring of 1901, the citys board of education petitioned Andrew Carnegie to donate money for the expansion of the library. In response, Carnegie offered $15,000 on the condition that the city pledge $1,500 annually for its support. After examining the library system in Pittsburgh and consulting its head librarian, the board requested $25,000 and pledged $2,500 annually; Carnegie accepted this offer. After the board accepted bids on plans, the members discovered that the desired structure would cost nearly $30,000 and ordered a revision of the plans; however, when this news reached prominent local businessman Henry St. Clair, he requested that the revision be cancelled and pledged sufficient funds for the building as originally planned. St. Clairs wish having been granted, the library&#39;s cornerstone was laid on October 30, 1901, and construction was completed on March 19, 1903; the structure had cost $31,177.50.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The Carnegie Library is a rectangular building approximately 90 ft long, 70 ft wide, and two stories tall. Brick walls, trimmed with oolite, rest on a foundation of Bedford limestone, and the structure is topped with a roof of red tiles. The floors are decorated with multiple frescoes and mosaics, and many stained glass windows illuminate the interior. Patrons are served with marble-finished restrooms on both floors. At the time of construction, the library was ornamented with statues and elaborate wooden panelling.</p><br>
<h2>Memorial Hall</h2><br>
<p>Following Henrys St. Clairs death on October 7, 1908, the city benefited greatly from his will — $100,000 was to be given to the city&#39;s board of education for the erection and maintenance of an assembly hall for the use of the city schools. Board members soon voted to build this hall adjacent to the Carnegie library; as the 1868 high school already occupied this location, the entire building was moved a short distance to the south in the summer of 1909. Excavation for the new assembly hall commenced in the spring of 1910, and the cornerstone was laid on June 30. Large crowds attended the laying ceremony; an orator from the Grand Lodge of Ohio was the primary speaker, and members of the leading families of Darke County provided patriotic music.</p><br>
<p>After a long period of construction, the building was dedicated on May 3, 1912, and given the name of "Henry St. Clair Memorial Hall." While the construction of the hall and the removal of the high school had cost $135,000, the board of education was not left impoverished; St. Clairs widow compensated the board for the extra expenses. The finished structure, built of brick and stone in a manner similar to the library, featured a large auditorium and a range of classrooms for the citys students. Soon after construction was completed, the building was opened to the community for events such as political gatherings, religious conventions, and Chautauquas.</p><br>
<h2>Recognition</h2><br>
<p>In 1980, the library and memorial hall were listed on the National Register of Historic Places for their architectural significance. Approximately 4 acre of land around the buildings were included in the area designated as historic; much of which has been part of a park created during the process of moving the city high school.</p><br>
<p>Battery 223 is in Lower Township, Cape May County, New Jersey, United States. The harbor defense battery was completed in 1943. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on June 25, 2008.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In the years before the entry of the USA into World War II, the belief that America&#39;s shore defenses were inadequate resulted in the 1940 Modernization of the Coastal Defense program. Battery 223 was part of the effort to address the advances of offensive and defensive technology in the 1930s. Standardized and mass-produced fortifications were built on both the east and west coasts.</p><br>
<p>Battery 223 was one of three 200-series fortifications built for Fort Miles, headquartered in Cape Henlopen, Delaware. Designed to host a 6-inch battery and survive a direct hit from battleships and aircraft, the structure was built with six-foot thick reinforced concrete walls and a thick blast proof roof; the entire building was covered with earth. The 6-inch guns had a nine-mile range.</p><br>
<p>In addition to the three 200-series batteries, Fort Miles also had a 16-inch and a 12-inch battery, both at Cape Henlopen. The 16-inch guns had a range of 26 miles. In all, assets of Fort Miles extended along 200 miles of shoreline, including a network of 20 fire control towers.</p><br>
<p>Battery 223&#39;s guns were never fired at an enemy, though there were drills and live fire tests. As the war turned in favor of the Allies, lessening the need for coastal defense, and continuing advances in warfare technology rendered fixed coastal defenses obsolete, the Modernization of the Coastal Defense program was never completed. Battery 223 was decommissioned in 1944; all army seacoast defense guns had been scrapped by 1948. By 1950, the army had dismantled all of the fixed gun harbor defenses; the buildings were used for other military purposes or were declared surplus.</p><br>
<p>Battery 223 was used for radio communications by the navy at some point after 1958, a concrete pad was poured on the top the building to support a Quonset hut. Battery 223 became part of the Cape May Point State Park in 1962. Today the battery is no longer covered and is in full view.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The exterior of the building is a series of windowless blocks of formed concrete. It is roughly T-shaped, the long portion runs east–west parallel to the beach, the stem of the T extends to the north. It contains 20 rooms, including a plotting room, switchboard room, latrine, several shell storage rooms, a chemical warfare service room, and an airlock. The airlock provided protection against chemical attack. Wood pilings support the building.</p><br>
<p>Power was provided by three diesel generators with a gallery of exhaust pipes and mufflers, evaporative water coolers were in a separate room. The switchboard room connected the plotting room to the external fire control towers. The plotting room received coordinates from two towers, which were then used to triangulate the target and produce gun aiming directions.</p><br>
<p>Fishing Creek Schoolhouse  is a historic school located in the Villas census-designated place, of Lower Township, Cape May County, New Jersey, United States. The schoolhouse was built in 1888 and added to the National Register of Historic Places on March 6, 1980.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The first school in the Fishing Creek area was built in the early 1800s on Fulling Mill Road, about a mile north of the current site. It was a log cabin that became so rundown that a local paper described it as "a disgrace to the neighborhood". It was used as a community center, supporting such activities as the Zobo Band, the Church Junior League, and neighborhood Saturday evening meetings. These activities continued after the new schoolhouse was built in 1888.</p><br>
<p>The new school was built on land donated by the Matthews family, with the basic structural form being adapted from plans for a church. Many of the builders of the one-room schoolhouse were veterans of the Civil War. The Fishing Creek School served as the only school in the area until the advent of motorized school buses. In 1921 some students were sent to the Cold Spring Academy by bus. After 1921 the school served about 40 students in grades 1-4 until it closed, about 1925. Students would walk from as far as two miles away to attend.</p><br>
<p>In the 1920s, there were as many as eight one-room schoolhouses in the lower Cape May region, but with the introduction of school buses, the one-room schoolhouses became obsolete, and schools were consolidate into buildings with multiple classrooms.</p><br>
<p>In 1926, the Fishing Creek School was sold at public auction and subsequently purchased by the Leckey family as a summer home. The Leckey family sought to preserve the school, and it was listed on the National and State Historic Registers in 1980.</p><br>
<p>In 1998, members of the community began efforts to save the Fishing Creek School, and in 2002, the school, along with 1.3 acres, was purchased by the State Green Acres Program, and subsequently leased to Lower Township for 20 years. It is now being developed into a community center for recreational and educational uses.</p><br>
<p>Mayor Mike Beck of Lower Township organized a non-profit organization, The Friends of the Fishing Creek School, to lead the effort to restore and maintain the site for the benefit of the community. In 2010 two old roofs were removed and a new cedar shake roof was installed, to match the original roof.</p><br>
<p>The Fishing Creek School is the only remaining one-room schoolhouse in Lower Township, New Jersey.</p><br>
<p>The Old Cape May County Courthouse Building is located on North Main Street  in the Cape May Court House section of Middle Township in Cape May County, New Jersey, United States. The historic courthouse was completed in 1850 and was added to the National Register of Historic Places on December 22, 1981, for its significance in architecture and politics/government. It was documented by the Historic American Buildings Survey  in 1992.</p><br>
<p>The Georgian courthouse was designed and built from 1848 to 1850 by the master builder/architect Daniel Hand and features a Greek Revival interior. Hand also designed the New Asbury Methodist Episcopal Meeting House and the Calvary Baptist Church. It was replaced by the Cape May County Courthouse in 1927.</p><br>
<p>The Caribbean Motel is a historic motel located in Wildwood Crest, New Jersey. It is located in the Wildwoods Shore Resort Historic District. The motel was built in 1957 in the Doo-Wop style by Lou Morey, whose family built many of the Wildwoods&#39; original Doo Wop motels, for original owners Dominic and Julie Rossi. It was owned by the Rossi family until the early 1990s, when they sold it to multi-billionaire Mister Bolero.</p><br>
<p>Caribbean Motel was the first motel to use the full-size plastic palm trees that now adorn most of the Doo Wop motels in the South Jersey area.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<h3>20th century</h3><br>
<p>The motel opened in 1957, and had one of the wildest designs in the post-World War II era, incorporating a crescent-shaped pool, a levitating ramp, and canted glass walls. At the time it was proposed, no neon sign as big as the Caribbean Motel&#39;s had ever been installed in Wildwood Crest; however, after much deliberation, the town disallowed it.</p><br>
<h3>21st century</h3><br>
<p>The motel was saved from demolition in 2004, when it was purchased by George Miller and Caroline Emigh. After reading the book, How to Doo Wop: the Wildwoods-by-the-Sea Handbook of Design Guidelines published by the Doo Wop Preservation League, they were so impressed by the suggested designs of Philadelphia architect Anthony Bracali that they hired him to oversee restoration of the motel. The interior design was by Darleen Lev, a designer from New York City who was staying at the motel around the time that Miller and Emigh bought the property. An admirer of the technicolor film process, Levs designs are modeled on movie sets of the 1950s, and reflecting the motels Caribbean motif.</p><br>
<p>The Caribbean Motel was added to the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) on August 24, 2005. The hotel was also inducted into Historic Hotels of America, an official program of the National Trust for Historic Preservation, in 2011.</p><br>
<p>Its National Register nomination terms it Moderne in style:The Caribbean Motel is an excellent example of the approximately 275 motels in The Wildwoods that employed distinctive architecture and signage to draw East Coast city dwellers to a resort that combined natural and man-made pleasures. The majority of these motels are low, horizontal modernistic buildings constructed of concrete block and pre-cast concrete planks supported by iron beams. Inspired by the motels and hotels of Miami Beach, the architects and builders in The Wildwoods worked to bring the highstyle architecture of Florida down to an "everymans" level. These motels are vernacular buildings in that they take progressive designs and construct them using traditional materials. / The Caribbean Motels association with high-style modernist architecture comes from the features and materials used by its builder, largely for economic reasons: stucco walls, concrete flooring, mass-produced windows and doors, a flat roof, and minimal detailing. Vibrant paint colors for the doors and walls, florid-colored exterior lighting, and distinctive signage relieve the visual austerity of flat stucco walls.</p><br>
<p>It was NRHP-listed as part of a 2003 multiple property study.</p><br>
<p>The Chateau Bleu Motel is located at 911 Surf Avenue in the city of North Wildwood in Cape May County, New Jersey, United States.

<p>The Ferris Site is an archaeological site in the southwestern part of the USA state of Ohio. Located in Clermont County, the site consists of approximately 3 acre of land along an intermittent stream,</p><br>
<p>In 1970, University of Cincinnati archaeologists excavated the Ferris Site. This investigation yielded a significant number of stone tools, such as blanks, blades, and knives. Synthesis of the artifacts discovered at Ferris has led to the conclusion that it was occupied during the Early Archaic period. As such, it is a unique site in southern Ohio. In recognition of its significance, Ferris was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974. It is one of nine archaeological sites in the county that is listed on the National Register.</p><br>
<p>The Princeton Club is a pair of historic buildings located at 1221 and 1223 Locust Street in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.</p><br>
<h2>History and architectural features</h2><br>
<p>The building at 1223 was designed by architect Frank Furness; the building at 1221 is believed to have been partly designed by architect Lindley Johnson.</p><br>
<p>From 1910 through the 1970s, the buildings housed the Princeton Club of Philadelphia. Alterations were made by the club in 1915 and 1919 to join the buildings together.</p><br>
<p>The Princeton Club of Philadelphia was founded in 1868, and was housed in five other buildings before moving to Locust Street. According to its 1912 Yearbook, the club served "to foster good fellowship among Princeton men; and also to provide a suitable place for Alumni meetings, smokers, etc."</p><br>
<p>The restaurant Deux Cheminées occupied the buildings from 1988 to 2007.</p><br>
<p>The property is currently occupied by the restaurant Vedge.</p><br>
<p>The Donoho Hotel is a historic hotel in Red Boiling Springs, Tennessee, United States. Built in 1916, the Donoho is one of three hotels remaining from the early-20th century resort boom at Red Boiling Springs, and the last of the great white frame hotels with full-length two-story verandas. Although it has changed ownership several times, the Donoho has remained in operation continuously since its opening. In 1986, the hotel and several outbuildings were added to the National Register of Historic Places as a historic district.</p><br>
<p>The mineral springs at Red Boiling Springs&mdash; which were thought to have curative powers&mdash; were attracting tourists as early as the 1840s. After the Civil War, the nationwide rise in the popularity of mountain spring resorts brought about the development of a large-scale tourist industry at Red Boiling Springs. As transportation to the remote mountain hamlet improved, more elaborate hotels were built, among them the Donoho, which was initially built in the early 1900s. After the first Donoho Hotel burned down, the current structure was built as a replacement in 1916. Although alterations were made to the Donoho in the 1950s to provide modern amenities, the hotel still appears much as it did when it was first constructed.</p><br>
<h2>Location</h2><br>
<p>Red Boiling Springs is located amid the Northern Highland Rim, a rugged upland between the Pennyroyal Plateau of Kentucky and the Nashville Basin of Tennessee. Salt Lick Creek, a tributary of the Barren River, slices a narrow valley which was once lined with a dozen hotels and at least as many boarding houses. The Donoho is situated at the base of a hill at the confluence of Salt Lick Creek and Whitley Branch. The NRHP-listed Cloyd Hotel (now the Thomas House) is located across Whitley Branch to the south. The Donoho faces East Main Street, which runs parallel to Salt Lick Creek.</p><br>
<p>The Red Boiling Springs area is underlain by a type of black shale (Chattanooga shale), which is exposed in some stream beds. As water flows over this shale, it collects and dissolves iron sulfate, giving the area&#39;s springs their once-sought after mineral potency. The most mineralized water is very salty, and has a strong hydrogen sulfide odor. Red-painted well pumps scattered throughout the town mark the location of the various mineral springs.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The mineral springs at Red Boiling Springs were discovered sometime in the 1830s, and by 1844 a hotel had been constructed to house tourists visiting the springs. Due to a lack of transportation to the area (and possibly the Civil War), this early resort struggled financially. By the 1870s, however, a new hotel had been built, and with the establishment of a stagecoach line from Gallatin, Red Boiling Springs began to thrive. A nationwide boom in the popularity of spa resorts in the 1880s and the extension of a railroad line to nearby Hartsville in the 1890s brought still more tourists to Red Boiling Springs, and by the early 1900s the town had four hotels and a dozen or so boarding houses.</p><br>
<p>A hotel owner named Whitley built the first hotel on what is now the Donoho property sometime in the 1890s. Around 1901, the first hotel known as the "Donoho" was built on the property by Whitleys son-in-law, Squire Donoho (1863&ndash;1908), whose family had operated a general store in Red Boiling Springs since the 1880s. After Squire Donohos death, the hotel and property passed into the hands of Whitley&#39;s daughter, Tennie, and her husband, Brady Chitwood (1875&ndash;1958). The first Donoho Hotel burned in 1915, and the following year the Chitwoods built the present hotel as a replacement.</p><br>
<p>The Donoho, like other hotels in the town, offered five types of water: freestone (unmineralized) water, "White" water, "Red" and "Black" water (high in magnesium and calcium), and the most mineralized, "Double and Twist." Cups of the "Black" water were served as a tonic every morning on the hotel&#39;s verandas in its early years. While many believed in the curative effects of the mineral waters, some historians suggest Victorian era tourists merely used health problems as an excuse to take long, recreational vacations. Dancing, bowling, and swimming were common activities. While alcoholic beverages were barred at the Donoho, numerous taverns were scattered around the periphery of Red Boiling Springs.</p><br>
<p>The Chitwoods managed the Donoho until 1955, when they sold it to Ed Hagen. Hagen made several renovations in hopes of reviving the tourist industry at Red Boiling Springs. The hotel has since had several owners, most notably the Walsh family, who operated the hotel from 1974 to 1993.</p><br>
<h2>Design</h2><br>
<p>The Donoho Hotel is a two-story weatherboard frame structure resting on a brick foundation. The hotel is an elaborate "T" shape, with the north and south wings hanging from the ends of the Ts crossbar, and the rear kitchen wing (added in the 1930s) being the Ts base. Verandas span the length of the facade and both sides of both stories. The verandas are supported by four large columns (flanking the hotels entrance) and twenty-two smaller columns, and contain oak tongue and groove floors. All but one of the hotels rooms are accessible only from the verandas.</p><br>
<p>The hotels interior consists of a hallway which leads to a lobby, a lounge, the lone interior guest room, and a 128-capacity dining room (the dining room is in the stem of the "T"). The rear kitchen wing is accessible from the dining room and from the outside. Along with the kitchen, the rear wing includes a room once reserved for the hotels cook. Private baths were added to most of the guest rooms in the 1950s.</p><br>
<p>The Donoho House, which stands immediately north of the hotel, was built in 1924 by the Chitwoods for the managers of the hotel. The house is a two-story brick structure with a shingled hip roof and flared eaves. The house has a full-length lower level porch and a short porch on the upper level. The first-floor interior of the house has three dining rooms, a lobby, a kitchen area, and living quarters. The second-floor interior contains five bedrooms. The house is a contributing building in the historic district.</p><br>
<p>The most historically-notable outbuilding is an 1890s-era fruit cellar, built into the hillside for the property&#39;s first hotel. Only the front of the cellar is exposed, and consists of a wooden door flanked by loose river rock. Other outbuildings include a 1916-era washhouse (now a storage shed) and a recently constructed entertainment center, both behind the hotel. The entertainment center now features music on the weekends with an excellent dj, video games and concessions. The front lawn of the hotel contains two gazebos (one of which was built over a "Red" water spring) and a covered footbridge over Salt Lick Creek. Of these outbuildings, the fruit cellar and washhouse are considered contributing structures in the historic district.</p><br>
