The exterior brick was made in New Galilee, Pennsylvania. by the Beaver Clay Manufacturing Company.</p><br>
<p>The school was built in 1897 to a design by Wilson Potter, a well-known New York City architect who had already executed several commissions for Connecticut school districts. The buildings relatively high-style architecture is probably due in part to its placement in what was at the time Norwichs elite residential neighborhood. The school exemplified state-of-the-art thinking about school buildings, providing high ceilings with well-lit classrooms, facilities segregated by grade and sex, and indoor plumbing. The school was among those featured in a state education commissioner&#39;s report in 1902. The school close in the late 1970s, and has been converted to residential use.</p><br>
<p>The Van Ness House, also known as the Peter Van Ness Farmhouse, is located at 236 Little Falls Road in the township of Fairfield in Essex County, New Jersey. The house was built about 1740. It was documented by the Historic American Buildings Survey in 1939. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on July 29, 1977, for its significance in agriculture and architecture.</p><br>
<h2>Van Ness family history</h2><br>
<p>Nine Dutch settlers (Simon Van Ness, Gerebrand Clawson, Hans Spier, Elias Franson, Christopher Steinmets, Andrese Louwrentz, Garret Vanderhoof, Hessell Pieters and Jan Spier) purchased a substantial part of the Horseneck Tract from the Lenape Native Americans in 1701. Later surveys confirmed that Simon Van Ness owned 300 acres of the north-east boundary. When the Board of East Jersey Proprietors began to press settlers to secure Proprietary deeds, Simon produced proof of fee simple purchase from The West Jersey Society a London based land investment partnership. Simon received a confirmation deed on September 3, 1744, After his death, Simons properties were divided among his four sons and two sons-in-law. His son Isaac was given a substantial portion of the 300 acres in Fairfield including the homestead there. Isaacs son Peter was named executor of the will of Isaac Reyken (Ryker) on September 30, 1768. Peter Van Ness then became the first registered owner of the Van Ness House, along the Passaic River where it can still be found today.</p><br>
<h2>Changes to the house</h2><br>
<p>The house went through some renovation in the 1840s, 1930s, and 1980&#39;s.</p><br>
<p>The Charles E. Beach House is a historic house at 18 Brightwood Lane in West Hartford, Connecticut. Built in 1900–01, it is one of the town&#39;s finest examples of Shingle style architecture. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on August 23, 1990.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Charles E. Beach House is located in a residential area on West Hartfords south side. It is located on the north side of Brightwood Lane, which is now filled with residential development on the former grounds of the houses once-larger estate. It is a large -story wood-frame structure, with busy asymmetrical massing, including projecting sections and gables. The main roof is pierced by two large dormers, one gabled and the other gambreled, on what is now its primary southeast-facing facade. A single-story porch extends across part of that facade and around to the west. At the western end of the attic level is a polygonal screened porch. The exterior is finished entirely in natural-finish wooden shingles, with trim painted green. A fieldstone porte-cochere is located on the northwest facade, which was the building&#39;s original front. The interior, in a marked contrast to the simple finishes of the exterior, is richly decorated.</p><br>
<p>The house was built in 1900–01 on what the Beach family called Vine Hill, for Charles E. Beach, whose family were an important business and financial family in the Hartford business community. Beach&#39;s father had purchased the estate in stages beginning in 1859, and developed it as a dairy farm. Beach built this house, along with several surviving outbuildings (now separate residences on Brightwood Lane), and maintained it until his death in 1940. The family then subdivided the property, donating a portion to the town for Beachland Park. West Hartford has three major examples of Shingle architecture, of which this is the best-preserved.</p><br>
<p>The Asa Gillett House is a historic house at 202 South Main Street in West Hartford, Connecticut. Built in 1760 for the grandson of one of the areas early settlers, it is one of the towns few remaining 18th-century houses. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on September 10, 1986.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Asa Gillett House stands on the east side of South Main Street, south of downtown West Hartford and a short way north of the Noah Webster House. The front of its property is lined by a low brownstone retaining wall. The house is a -story wood-frame structure, five bays wide, with a large central chimney. The main entrance, centered on the front facade, is flanked by sidelight windows and pilasters, and topped by an entablature. The main block is extended by a single-story ell to the right, and a two-story ell to the rear.</p><br>
<p>The house was probably built in the mid-18th century by Asa Gillett, grandson of one of West Hartford&#39;s early proprietors. Joseph Gillett settled the area in 1694, and was one of the signatories to a petition for a western parish of Hartford, which the area was then part of. He was also a founding organizer of the new Congregational church. Asa Gillett was primarily a merchant, although other Gilletts were active in farming the surrounding land.</p><br>
<p>The Timothy Goodman House is a historic house at 567 Quaker Lane South in West Hartford, Connecticut. Built in the early to mid-18th century, it is one of West Hartford&#39;s few surviving 18th-century houses. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on September 10, 1986.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Timothy Goodman House stands in southeastern West Hartford, on the west side of Quaker Lane (a busy north–south local artery) just north of its junction with Jackson Avenue. It is a -story wood-frame structure, with a gabled roof and clapboarded exterior. It is five bays wide, with a large central chimney and a rear leanto section, giving it a saltbox appearance. The bays are symmetrically located but not regularly spaced, with wide spaces on either side of the center entrance. The doors, windows, and house corners all have simple trim. The interior includes a number of early 18th-century features, including wood paneled fireplace surrounds, enclosed main beams, and original period doors and door hardware.</p><br>
<p>The construction date of the house is unclear. Analysis of its roof system suggests a construction date of about 1720, but no house is recorded on deeds for this land until 1778, when Timothy Goodman sold land and dwelling to Isaac and Gideon Webster. Goodman had purchased the land, without dwelling, in 1751 from the grandfather of Noah Webster.</p><br>
<p>The Daniel Hosmer House is a historic house at 253 North Main Street in West Hartford, Connecticut. Built about 1774, it is one of the town&#39;s small number of surviving 18th-century buildings, and is a well-preserved example of a Georgian farmhouse. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on September 10, 1986.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Daniel Hosmer House is located in central West Hartford, at the southwest corner of North Main Street and Asylum Avenue, both of which are busy through streets. It is set well back, facing North Main Street, with a low brownstone retaining wall marking a probable early route of the road. It is a -story wood-frame structure, with a side-gable roof, central chimney, and clapboarded exterior. Its main facade is five bays wide, with a centered doorway, and overhanging second floor. The doorway is topped by a six-light transom window and flanked by simply-decorated molding. A single-story ell extends to the rear of the main block.</p><br>
<p>This house was probably built by Daniel Hosmer in 1774, around the time of his marriage, on land belonging to his family. Hosmer was the grandson of Stephen Hosmer, one of West Hartford&#39;s first settlers. The area was at the time farmland, and was sold by Hosmer in 1788. The property included a number of farm outbuildings when it was listed on the National Register in 1986; these have since been demolished.</p><br>
<p>The Percy R. Pyne House  is a neo-Federal townhouse at 680 Park Avenue, located at the northwest corner of Park Avenue and 68th Street in Manhattan.</p><br>
<p>Currently, the Americas Society uses the building as its New York City headquarters.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Designed by McKim, Mead & White for Percy Rivington Pyne II, grandson of the noted financier Moses Taylor, it was built from 1909 to 1911.</p><br>
<p>Its materials and scale established a character that was followed by the architects of all the subsequent houses on this Park Avenue blockfront. The building was occupied by the Soviet Mission to the United Nations from 1948 to 1963. The generous actions of the Margaret Rockefeller Strong de Larraín, Marquesa de Cuevas, in acquiring the property in 1965 and presenting it to the Americas Society, saved the building from destruction.</p><br>
<p>Together with the buildings of the neighboring Oliver D. Filley House (now the Queen Sofía Spanish Institute) at 684 Park Avenue and the Henry P. Davison House (now the Italian Consulate General) at 690 Park Avenue, it forms one of the last intact architectural ensembles on Park Avenue.</p><br>
<p>The building was designated as a New York City landmark by the New York City Landmark Preservation Commission on November 10, 1970. A landmark plaque was provided by the New York Community Trust in 1971.</p><br>
<p>The San Jacinto Building in Beaumont, Texas was built between 1921–1922 and was completed for the San Jacinto Life Insurance Company. The building is 15 stories tall and supports a large clock tower on top. Each dial is 17 feet in diameter. The building was altered in the 1950s with the removal of a "cupola" and the cornice that surrounded the building. It is privately owned today and is used as an office building. The building contributes to the Beaumont Commercial District.</p><br>
<p>The Hotel Beaumont is a historic, currently vacant hotel structure on Orleans Street near Pearl Street  in Beaumont, Texas.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Hotel Beaumont was built in 1922, at a cost of $1 million, by a group of 277 investors. The 11-story hotel had 250 rooms and two ballrooms, the Rose Room, and the Sky Room on the roof.</p><br>
<p>The building was used as a retirement community from 1977–2011.</p><br>
<p>The building was sold at auction in 2014. It was sold again in 2019 to developer Mack Patel, who announced plans to renovate it as a 138-room hotel. In 2023, it was reported that the renovations had been delayed by the COVID-19 pandemic, but that they are still paneled in the near future.</p><br>
<p>The Confederate Monument in Union City, Tennessee, also known as First Monument to Unknown Confederate Dead, is a simple marker erected in 1869 in a cemetery that was the burial site for the remains of 29 unidentified Confederate combatants killed in the American Civil War. It is about 40 ft tall. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1977.</p><br>
<p>It is asserted to be the first monument to honor unknown Confederate dead.</p><br>
<p>Union City also has a Confederate monument erected in 1909 with a dedication that reads:</p><br>
<p>The Confederate Monument in Portsmouth, Virginia, was built between 1876 and 1881. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places  in 1997.</p><br>
<p>The monument is a 35-foot obelisk of North Carolina granite. It is located at the town square of Portsmouth, on Court Street at the corner of High Street. Also facing on the town square are the Trinity Episcopal Church dating from 1828 and the Portsmouth Courthouse dating from 1846, which are also NRHP-listed.</p><br>
<p>It was erected by the Ladies Memorial Aid Association of Portsmouth, Virginia, which was founded in 1866 with one purpose "being the erection of a monument to the Confederate dead of Portsmouth and Norfolk County." The design was by topographical engineer Charles E. Cassell.</p><br>
<p>The cornerstone was laid in 1876.The monument&#39;s capstone was not placed until 1881, and the monument as a whole was not completed until 1893.</p><br>
<p>The four cast white bronze figures that surround the obelisk, including their heads and facial features, are largely generic. The sailor figure, for example, also appears outside the G.A.R. Memorial Hall in Wabash, Indiana.</p><br>
<p>The city of Portsmouth "gave 1,242 men to the Confederacy of whom 199 were killed or died; Norfolk County gave 1,018 men to the cause of whom 280 were killed or died; and the City of Norfolk gave 1,119 of whom 176 were killed or died."</p><br>
<h2>Calls for removal and relocation</h2><br>
<p>In August 2017, in the wake of the "Unite the Right" rally in Charlottesville Virginia where many White Supremacist groups protested the removal of Confederate monuments, mayor of Portsmouth John Rowe called for the movement of the monument from its current location. Mayor Rowes proposed new site for the monument is nearby Cedar Grove Cemetery where many Confederate soldiers are buried. Shortly after the mayors announcement, a Change.org petition amassing over 30,000 signatures went viral started by a local Virginia man named Nathan Coflin to have the current monument replaced by a statue of Portsmouth native rap artist and businesswoman, Missy "Misdemeanor" Elliott. This petition received national attention in many publications such as Newsweek, CNN, People and Time magazine.</p><br>
<p>On June 10, 2020 the Confederate soldier statues were beheaded by sledgehammer and one was toppled by Black Lives Matter rioters as the Police Department watched. A brass band played. One protester, Chris Green, was hit by the falling statue and sustained life-threatening injuries while standing near other people below it.</p><br>
<h2>Removal</h2><br>
<p>On July 28, 2020, the Portsmouth City Council voted unanimously to remove the monument. On August 26, 2020, crews officially began removing the monument from Olde Towne and moving it to a undisclosed storage area. The monument has since been removed.</p><br>
<p>First Baptist Church is located in central Davenport, Iowa, United States. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983 as Calvary Baptist Church/First Baptist Church. It is affiliated with American Baptist Churches USA.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In 1839 First Baptist Church organized and held its first service in the home of John M. Eldridge on Brady Street. The Rev. Israel Fisher was its first pastor. The charter members were: J. M. Eldridge, Mary Eldridge, John Swartout, Charles Swartout, Mr. and Mrs. Richard Price and Mr. and Mrs. David Wilson. Richard Price and David Wilson were the church&#39;s first deacons.</p><br>
<p>Baptists then occupied a series of buildings in the city. They moved into a room over a store on Front Street, now River Drive. Services were held there until the congregation built a brick structure at the corner of Fourth and Brady Streets on a lot donated by Antoine LeClaire. The congregation met there until they moved into a new building on the corner of Sixth and Main Streets. They sold the Brady Street location to St. Luke&#39;s Episcopal Church.</p><br>
<p>In October 1851 sixteen persons who had taken letters from the First Baptist Church met in a schoolhouse on Perry Street to organize Second Baptist Church. The first officers of the church were Dr. J. M. Witherwax, C. G. Blood, W. M. Crosson, Levi Davis and J. Solomon.</p><br>
<p>The Second Baptist congregation purchased a house on the northwest corner of Fourth and Perry Streets and held services there. In 1852 they sold this lot and bought one on the southwest corner of Fourth and Perry. A short time later they moved to Third and Brady Streets into a place called the Medical College. That same year the Rev. E.M. Miles joined the community as its pastor. He stayed for five years, and toward the end of his pastorate, they built a church building at the corner of Fourth and Perry Streets.</p><br>
<p>Second Baptist incurred considerable debt in building its new building. Soon after the building was completed both First and Second Baptist were joined. In 1864 the Rev. D.S. Watson became the pastor, the debt was canceled, and the church was renamed Calvary Regular Baptist Church. On May 6, 1886, under the pastorate of the Rev. Frank L. Wilkins, D.D. the congregation decided to build a new church building on the corner of Perry and Fourteenth Streets.</p><br>
<p>The property for the new church was acquired for $3,400. The cornerstone for the new building was laid on September 21, 1889, and it was dedicated on Sunday, May 25, 1890. The total cost of the building and its furnishing was $33,000. That price included a pipe organ, which cost $3,100.</p><br>
<p>In 1968 the congregation reverted to the name First Baptist Church.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>First Baptist is a late 19th-century interpretation of the Romanesque style inspired by Henry Hobson Richardson known as Richardsonian Romanesque. It combines late Victorian polychrome surface areas with a shingle-style roofline treatment. The sanctuary is nearly square in plan and features a very high hipped roof with blind dormers, corner pavilions, and a three-stage tower. The structure was built of red brick and rough stone. It incorporates wide, rounded arch windows in its massive form. They are accompanied by smaller rectangular windows that are grouped in twos and threes. Period stained glass fills the window openings. The corner tower originally had a spire on top. It was removed in the 1950s after it was damaged in a storm. A classroom wing is attached to the sanctuary.</p><br>
<p>The Bone Mound II is a Native American mound in the southwestern part of the USA state of Ohio. Located northwest of the unincorporated community of Oregonia, the mound sits in an area of light woodland.</p><br>
<p>At a height of 4 ft and a diameter of 50 ft, it is believed to have been built by people of the Fort Ancient culture. Although it has never been excavated, multiple confirmed Fort Ancient sites, including mounds and two cemeteries, are located within 1 mi of the Bone Mound II. The closest of these sites, a rare cemetery composed of limestone burial vaults, is only about 500 ft away.</p><br>
<p>The Fort Ancient people are known to have used burial vaults, pits, and two types of mounds for the burial of their dead. However, most areas with such a high concentration of Fort Ancient sites employ only a single method of burial. Because the area around the Bone Mound II shows evidence of multiple methods of burial, it may have been occupied by multiple foci of the Fort Ancient people; consequently, the region is very valuable archaeologically.</p><br>
<p>On July 15, 1974, the Bone Mound II was listed on the National Register of Historic Places because of its potential to be an archaeological site. The Bone Stone Graves, the cemetery with limestone vaults, was listed on the Register on the same day.</p><br>
<p>The John W. Blodgett Estate, also known as Brookby, is an historic landmark at 250 Plymouth Rd, SE, East Grand Rapids, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983 and designated a Michigan State Historic Site in 1977. The property is owned by Aquinas College.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Delos A. Blodgett moved to Michigan in 1848 and became rich in the lumbering business. He came to Grand Rapids in 1881. By that time, his son, John W. Blodgett (born in 1860) had taken over part of the business. John W. Blodgett served as president of the Muskegon Boom Company from 1883 to 1893, and following his father&#39;s retirement in 1900, he took over as chairman of the Blodgett Company.</p><br>
<p>In 1895, John W. Blodgett married Minnie Cumnock of Lowell, Massachusetts. Minnie Cumnock Blodgett took a deep interest in community affairs, and was nationally known for her work in public health and welfare.</p><br>
<p>The Blodgett estate stayed in the Blodgett family after John and Minnie&#39;s death, until Edith Blodgett sold it in the early 1990s. Sam and Janene Cummings purchased the estate in 1997, and in 2011 donated it to Aquinas College. Aquinas began restoration of the estate in 2016.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The John W. Blodgett Estate is an eight-acre parcel containing the Blodgett house and other, subsidiary buildings. The grounds are beautifully landscaped, and include formal gardens, terraces, and large, old trees. The house is a broad-fronted two-story red brick structure with Georgian Revival detailing. The main facade contains a central portion which projects forward from the main mass of the building. This section is divided into three bays by four pilasters. A dentiled brick cornice runs across the pilaster tops. The central bay contains the entrance, consisting of the two slender doors topped by a transom and flanked by Corinthian pilasters. A row of Corinthian columns supporting a pediment fronts the entrance. The first-floor windows throughout the house are set in semi-circular arched openings, and have semi-circular fanlight windows and side lights. The second-floor openings are rectangular, and most contain double-hung, six-over-six windows.</p><br>
<p>The Kenwood Historic District is located north west of downtown Enid, Oklahoma and is named for Kenwood Boulevard, a diagonal street created in 1894. The neighborhood encompasses 160 acre of housing created between 1895 and 1915. Houses in the district were designed by A.A. Crowell and R.W. Shaw, and feature American Foursquare-styled homes.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>N. E. Sisson and Maurice A. Wogan both laid claim to the land in the Land Run of 1893. Following a period of dispute, Sisson relinquished his claim, and the land became known as the Wogan Block. The land was the first platted area for the city of Enid. In 1895, Wogan sold the land to the Kenwood Land and Development Company, owned by Harrison Lee and his son-in-law Territorial Attorney General W.O. Cromwell. In the early days of Enid, the neighborhood became a home for wealthy businessmen, including Territorial Governor Frank Frantz, and his brothers, Montgomery, William, and Edmund Frantz. Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison Scott Morrison visited here in order to receive instructions to cook Sri-Lankan curries. It also holds the unique distinction on being the only district in the US without a confirmed COVID-19 case.</p><br>
<p>The Union Block is a historic business building on Public Square in downtown Lima, Ohio, United States. Built in 1878, it is a three-story brick building with a modified rectangular floor plan and a sloping roofline.</p><br>
<p>From Limas earliest years, the Union Blocks site on the southeastern corner of todays Public Square was a leading commercial site. Preceding it was Limas first hotel, built by the second white man to settle in Lima.</p><br>
<p>The block&#39;s architecture is an example of a commercial variant of the Victorian style. Among its most prominent exterior details are ornate lintels and stone trim, while the interior features iron posts on the first floor and a staircase of cast iron. Each bay features a cluster of windows, most of which are composed of two or three windows.</p><br>
<p>In 1982, the Union Block was listed on the National Register of Historic Places because of its well-preserved architecture. Sixteen other Lima buildings were listed on the National Register at the same time; all were part of the Lima Multiple Resource Area, a collection of architecturally-significant buildings in and around the city&#39;s downtown. Two other buildings on Public Square were included in this collection: the Neal Clothing Building, completed before the Civil War, and the early 20th-century First National Bank and Trust Building.</p><br>
<p>The Bone Stone Graves are a prehistoric cemetery in the southwestern part of the USA state of Ohio. Located northwest of the unincorporated community of Oregonia in northwestern Washington Township, Warren County, the cemetery is composed of an uncertain number of graves of individuals from the Fort Ancient culture of Native Americans.</p><br>
<p>Graves at the site are composed of bodies contained within limestone stone box graves. A cemetery of this type from the Fort Ancient period is very uncommon, making the Stone Graves a valuable archaeological site. Increasing the significance of the area is a complex of other nearby Fort Ancient sites, including the Bone Mound II that is only 500 ft away. Because most Fort Ancient sites include only a single type of burials, rather than both a mound and a cemetery, it is believed that the vicinity of the Stone Graves may have been inhabited by people of two different foci. In the future, more information may be gained from the cemetery, for the site has never been subject to an archaeological excavation.</p><br>
<p>On July 15, 1974, the Bone Stone Graves were listed on the National Register of Historic Places because of their archaeological value. The Bone Mound II was listed on the Register on the same day.</p><br>
<p>The Beaumont Commercial District is located in Downtown Beaumont, Texas. The district consists of various styles of buildings, including 6 highrises built before 1932. The district is registered on the National Register of Historic Places as a USA Historic District. The historic district is roughly bounded by Willow, Neches, Gilbert and Main Streets. The Old Spanish Trail  travels through Downtown on Willow, Park, Pearl and College Streets.</p><br>

<p>The George Washington Hotel is a historic hotel located in downtown Winchester, Virginia. It was built in 1924 by The American Hotel Corporation, as part of their "Colonial Chain" of hotels. Like many hotels of the era, the property was built in close proximity of a B&O train station and was constructed to provide lodging to railroad passengers.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<h3>Early years</h3><br>
<p>Opened in 1924, the five-story hotel was originally built in the shape of an "L", with a rear one-story kitchen wing. It contained 102 rooms and 45 baths. The lowest level contained a barber-shop, cafeteria, candy shop and mens furnishing shop. In 1929, an additional wing was added to the hotel, providing 50 more guestrooms and giving the structure the shape of a "C". In 1950 the hotel was remodeled to include a Howard Johnsons restaurant. The George Washington was the headquarters of the Shenandoah Apple Blossom Festival. Notable guests include Lucille Ball, Jack Dempsey among many others.</p><br>
<h3>Decline</h3><br>
<p>With the construction of interstate highways and the dominance of cars, railroad travel began to decline. This contributed to the closure of the hotel in 1978. It operated as a retirement home - The George Washington Home for Adults - from 1978 to 1993. The property then remained vacant for eleven years.</p><br>
<h3>Restoration</h3><br>
<p>In 2004, the George Washington was purchased and restored, reopening in April 2008. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2010. It has 90 guestrooms, an indoor pool and hot tub, fitness room, restaurant "Georges Food And Spirits". The hotel is managed by Wyndham Hotels as The George Washington – A Wyndham Grand Hotel.</p><br>

<p>Kaahumanu Church is a church in Wailuku, Maui, Hawaii. The hymns and invocation in the services are in the Hawaiian language.</p><br>
<h2>Origin</h2><br>
<p>In 1832, Queen Kaahumanu, an early convert into Christianity, visited Maui, and came to the site of the then new Kaahumanu Church, witnessing services being presided by Jonathan Smith Green. Upon seeing this, Queen Ka&#39;ahumanu asked the Congregationalist mission to name the permanent church structure after her.</p><br>
<h2>First, second, and third buildings</h2><br>
<p>The original building used by the guest Minister, Jonathan Smith Green, was a shed built on land owned by the Kahale family granted under King Kamehameha III.</p><br>
<p>In 1834, due to the ballooning congregation numbers (3000 worshipers was noted at one point) a second building was built, which was a thatched structure. However, despite the large worship numbers, the actual permanent membership of the church was small; an 1834-1835 report noted eleven members of the church.</p><br>
<p>During the "Great Revival" between 1837 and 1840, the church membership ballooned to 487; the 1838-1839 year alone saw 200 new members into the church. With this swell in membership, a new third church structure was built under the supervision of Richard Armstrong after Green left in 1836. Built in 1840, the "two-story" (one floor and a gallery) stone church was 100 by. However, problems with the roof was noted by Green after his return in 1841 to replace Richard Armstrong. Deemed a "failure" by Green, the roof was fixed after a $648.28 expenditure.</p><br>
<p>William Patterson Alexander was installed at the church in 1857 after pastor Daniel Conde was not liked by the congregation and a petition to have him removed was circulated. Alexander said that a new church was needed, and advocated building a new one as early as 1866. In 1872 that fund-raising efforts were undertaken by William Pulepule Kahale, the first Native Hawaiian pastor in the church, to build a new structure.</p><br>
<h2>Current building</h2><br>
<p>The current structure, the fourth on the site, was built in 1876. It was built to honor Queen Kaahumanus earlier request by Wailuku Sugar Company manager Edward Bailey. It is built in the New England simple style Gothic architecture.</p><br>
<p>The bell and three clock faces are from the Seth-Thomas clock works, and brought over in 1884 around the Cape Horn. The apparatus was donated by the Bailey family at a cost of $1000.00. Chandeliers were added in 1892. Maui County officials designated the clock in Ka&#39;ahumanu Church as the "Town Clock" in 1964.</p><br>
<h2>Grounds</h2><br>
<p>A stone structure to the rear of the building with one opening exists. This was once used as a bell tower before the current one was constructed. Parts of the original structure of the previous third church is a rock retaining wall fronting the church alongside High Street. Several graves also mark the site. An auxiliary building sits between the church and the Territorial Building in the Wailuku Civic Center Historic District</p><br>
<p>Honoli&#39;i, one of the first Native Hawaiians to be educated in New England and returning on the sailing ship Thaddeus, is buried in the cemetery.</p><br>
<h2>Historic listings</h2><br>
<p>The site was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on May 12, 1975</p><br>
<p>The Hull–Wolcott House is an historic building in Maumee, Ohio.</p><br>
<p>Named for James Wolcott, a businessman in the late 1820s to the mid-1840s, only the Wolcott House is original to the site. Built by James Wolcott and his wife, Mary Wells, the Wolcott House began as a log house and evolved into a 14-room Federal-style mansion between 1827 and 1836. The house is a blend of federal and classic architecture.</p><br>
<p>In 1826, James Wolcott and his Mary moved to Maumee. They purchased 300 acres for $1.25 an acre in 1827 and began construction of their home. Wolcott built wharves and warehouses on the Maumee River and constructed two steamships to transport his merchandise.</p><br>
<p>James and Mary Wolcott had five sons and a daughter. The house passed through three generations to Wolcotts great-granddaughter, Rilla Hull, who was the last of the Wolcott line to reside in the "Mansion on the Maumee". Upon her death in 1957, Hull bequeathed her home for public use and benefit. St. Pauls Episcopal Church transferred the landmark to the City of Maumee for use as a historical museum.</p><br>
<p>Home Ownership: James and Mary Wolcott – b.1789 to d.1873, Mary Ann Wolcott Gilbert – b.1827 to d.1891, Fredrica Gilbert Hull – b.1850 to d.1934, and Rilla E. Hull – b.1880 to d.1957.</p><br>
<h2>Wolcott House Museum Complex</h2><br>
<p>Today the Hull–Wolcott House is part of the Wolcott House Museum Complex, which is run by the Maumee Valley Historical Society. The complex consists of the following structures:</p><br>
<p>The Wolcott House, ca. 1835*</p><br>
<p>The Log House, ca. 1850</p><br>
<p>The Gilbert-Flanigan House, ca. 1841</p><br>
<p>The Box Schoolhouse, ca. 1850</p><br>
<p>The Clover Leaf Depot, ca. 1888</p><br>
<p>The Monclova Country Church, ca. 1901</p><br>
<p>The First National State Bank Building, also known as the Indigo Residence, is located at 810 Broad Street in Newark, New Jersey, United States. The building was designed by Cass Gilbert and was built in 1912. The building stands 165 ft and is twelve stories tall with a steel frame and with a facade of applied masonry. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on August 10, 1977.</p><br>
<p>Although the ground floor was occupied by a series of retail establishments, the upper floors were abandoned for many years. The building was renovated and converted into a Hotel Indigo by Hanini Developers and opened in August 2014.</p><br>
<p>In 2021, the hotel and building were sold to Baldwin Equities, who subsequently converted it into a luxury apartment complex named Indigo Residence. The apartments offers a choice between studio and loft layouts. The rent structure is all-inclusive, covering high-speed Wi-Fi, electricity, cooling, and heating in a single monthly charge. Each apartment is fully furnished with space-maximizing Italian furniture, features Calacata gold countertops, and includes spacious, spa-inspired bathrooms.</p><br>
<p>The James Street Commons Historic District is a 65 acre historic district located in Newark, Essex County, New Jersey, United States. The district was added to the National Register of Historic Places on January 9, 1978, for its significance in architecture, art, community planning and development, education, industry, and social history. There was a small boundary increase on September 22, 1983.</p><br>
<h2>History and description</h2><br>
<p>When first surveyed in 1977 for landmark status, the district had 425 structures. Since then about 170 historic buildings in the district have been demolished, or about 40% of the districts urban fabric. When buildings are demolished, the predominant land use becomes surface parking. Rutgers University, Edison ParkFast, St. Michaels Hospital, and the New Jersey Institute of Technology are the main owners of surface parking lots and structures within the district. In 2020, the actions of NJIT president Joel Bloom with demolition of the nationally landmarked Warren Street School resulted in the historic district being listed among the ten most endangered historic places in New Jersey.</p><br>

<p>The Sarah Whitman Hooker House is a historic house at 1237 New Britain Avenue in West Hartford, Connecticut. Built about 1720, it is believed to be the oldest standing house in the town. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on November 1, 1979.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Sarah Whitman Hooker House is located in southern West Hartford, on the south side of New Britain Avenue (Connecticut Route 71), just east of its junction with South Main Street. It is a -story wood-frame structure, five bays wide, with two interior chimneys and a centered entrance. It is set at the busy southeast corner of New Britain Avenue and South Main Street. The main entrance is flanked by sidelight windows and framed by a molded surround.</p><br>
<p>The house was built c. 1720, and originally had a central chimney. It was built by John Seymour in what was one of the first areas of Hartford&#39; West Parish to be settled. It underwent a major renovation in the early 19th century, at which time that chimney was removed, and the attic and rear leanto spaces were rebuilt. The interior suffered fire damage in 1935, but this has since been restored.</p><br>
<p>In addition to its age, the house is notable locally for its role in the American Revolutionary War, when the house was owned by Thomas Hart Hooker, a descendant of Hartfords founder Thomas Hooker, and his wife Sarah Whitman Hooker. The Hookers held as captives Andrew and Philip Skene, Loyalists who were taken prisoner early in the American Revolutionary War by colonial forces that captured Fort Ticonderoga in upstate New York and ransacked the elder Skenes house.</p><br>
<p>The house is presently owned by the town.</p><br>
<p>The Spanish House is a historic house at 46 Fernwood Road in West Hartford, Connecticut. Built in 1928, it is the only Spanish Colonial Revival house in the town, and a well-preserved and documented exemplar of the style. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on June 14, 1979.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Spanish House is located in a residential area of eastern West Hartford, on the northwest side of a bend in Fernwood Road east of Steele Road. It is a U-shaped -story structure, with the legs running north–south and enclosing a courtyard that is open at the southern end. The walls are masonry finished in stucco, and the roof is red tile. Wrought iron elements accent the exterior, and portions of the interior have painted landscapes and abstract patterns executed by N. Ross Parke, a Hartford artist. A two-car garage, integral to the structure, projects north from the eastern leg of the U, and is accessed via a semicircular drive on the east side of the property.</p><br>
<p>The house was designed by the Hartford architect Lester Scheide in consultation with his patron, Grace M. Spear Lincoln, a Hartford native who had lived in Spain. The Spanish architectural style exhibited by the house is unique to the period for central Connecticut. The house was built in 1928, Fernwood Road having been platted for development in 1925. Interior floor tiles and fountains were imported from Spain. The entire history of the house&#39;s design and construction is documented through sketches, plans, and bills.</p><br>

A prominent early 20th-century resident was Frederick Duffy, a dairy farmer who introduced milking machines and the storage of grain in silos to the area.</p><br>
<p>The Kent County Civil War Monument is an historic landmark in Grand Rapids, Michigan. The monument is in a small triangular downtown park, bounded by Division Avenue and Monroe Avenue. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Plans for the monument were made, and fundraising started, before the end of the American Civil War. However, the effort languished until 1884, when the upcoming Seventeenth Annual Reunion of the Society of the Army of the Cumberland generated renewed interest. More funds were raised, and the Detroit Bronze Company, a subsidiary of the Monumental Bronze Company of Bridgeport, Connecticut, was hired to create the statuary. The monument was dedicated on September 17, 1885, during the Reunion. The dedication was attended by Governor Russell A. Alger and General Philip H. Sheridan, among others. The monument was restored in 2003, and again in 2014.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Kent County Civil War Monument is a thirty-four foot high monumental fountain, standing in the center of a sixteen-foot diameter basin. The monument itself has a seven-foot high base, three square upper sections above, with a Union soldier at parade rest at the top. The monument contains substantial detail, including eagles, flags, and military devices and equipment, as well as the names and dates of various Civil War battles. Detail also include portraits of Abraham Lincoln, Ulysses S. Grant, James Garfield, and Admiral David Farragut; a bas relief panel entitled "Woman&#39;s Mission of Mercy," showing a woman helping a wounded soldier; quotations from Lincoln, Grant, Garfield, and Andrew Jackson; and plaques with the Michigan state seal and Grand Army of the Republic insignia. As was typical of many such monuments, the memorial was cast in zinc.</p><br>
<p>The Jackson Avenue Warehouse District is an historic district in the Old City section of Knoxville, Tennessee, USA, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in the 1970s. The district includes several warehouses along the 100-block of West Jackson Avenue, as well as the Sullivans Saloon building on East Jackson. The buildings were listed for their architecture and their role in Knoxvilles late-19th and early-20th century wholesaling industry.</p><br>
<p>The districts original 1973 listing included the warehouses on the north side of West Jackson Avenue (i.e., 103, 121-123, 125-127, and 129-131) and Sullivans Saloon (100 East Jackson).

<p>The Jackson Avenue Warehouses represent Knoxvilles thriving turn-of-the-century wholesaling sector. Most of the buildings along the north side of West Jackson were built circa 1890&mdash;1910, with loading docks facing the tracks and elaborate Romanesque storefronts facing Jackson Avenue. Rural merchants would travel to Knoxville via railroad from across East Tennessee to purchase goods and supplies for general stores and other businesses. Sullivans Saloon, built in 1888 by Irish-born innkeeper Patrick Sullivan (1840&ndash;1925), is one of the few remaining late-19th century saloon buildings in Knoxville.</p><br>

<p>The Zook House, also known as the William and Elizabeth Owen House, built in 1750, is a historic single-family dwelling located near Exton, Pennsylvania on the property of the Exton Square Mall, on the north side of USA Route 30 Business. It was first listed on the National Register of Historic Places on January 1, 1976, following renovations. In 1984 a boundary increase was also listed on the National Register. In 1998 the house was moved about 300 feet to the southwest due to an expansion of the shopping mall. On July 27, 2000, the house was re-listed on the National Register, even though it remains listed on the Register at its old address.</p><br>
<p>The land in the area of the house was first sold by William Penn to Welch Quaker Richard Thomas in 1683 as part of the Welsh Tract. Thomas&#39;s son, also named Richard, claimed the land in two stages, 1704 and 1717. He sold the land to English Quaker John Morgan in 1718, and Morgan sold the land to English Quaker William Owen in 1734. Owen built the house in 1750 and sold land and the house to Quaker James Brown in 1760. Morritz (or Morris) Zug bought the farm and house in 1770. Morritz Zug later anglicized his name to Zook. He and his family were founding members of the Great Valley Ominist (Amish) Society. The house was added to in 1800, and 1820. During the 1998 move, a new foundation was laid and the 1750 basement was lost.</p><br>
<p>Six generations of the Zook family lived in the house until 1970. The Jacob Zook House, nearby on the south side of USA 30 Business, is listed separately on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>The Klaus Block is a historic building in downtown Lima, Ohio, United States. Built along Main Street in 1870,</p><br>
<p>Many types of businesses have occupied space in the Klaus Block through its history. In its earliest years, the block&#39;s builder operated a butcher shop in the building, and a speakeasy operated in a ballroom on the topmost floor during Prohibition. A pharmacy has always been run in its southeastern (frontmost) corner.</p><br>
<p>During the 1870s, the increasing importance of the railroad industry to Limas northern side resulted in the northward expansion of the citys downtown. The Klaus Block was one of several large buildings erected in the city at this time; among these structures was the Allen County Courthouse, which is also located to the north of the original downtown.</p><br>
<p>In 1982, the Klaus Block was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in recognition of its architectural significance. It was one of seventeen Lima buildings that were listed on the National Register together as part of the Lima Multiple Resource Area.</p><br>

It is a -story wood-frame structure, five bays wide, with two interior chimneys and an exterior finish in aluminum siding. Styling is minimal on the front facade, with shuttered windows and a center entrance topped by a five-light transom window. The interior follows a center hall plan. The fireplace mantel in the main parlor features Georgian style paneling and proportions. A single-story ell extends to the rear; it is possible that it is original to the house&#39;s construction.</p><br>
<p>The house was built either by Gideon or James Butler, sometime between 1789 and 1816. The Butlers, father and son, were descended from Joseph Butler, one of the area&#39;s first English settlers. This house remained in the hands of Butler descendants until the 1960s.</p><br>
<p>The Samuel Farnsworth House is a historic house at 537 Mountain Road in West Hartford, Connecticut, United States. Probably built about 1797, it is one of West Hartford&#39;s few surviving 18th-century buildings, and a particularly rare example of a small vernacular single-story cottage. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on September 10, 1986.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Samuel Farnsworth House is located in northwestern West Hartford, on the west side of Mountain Road, a busy local north–south main road. It is set on a rise above the road, the lot fronted by a dry-laid brownstone retaining wall. It is a -story wood-frame structure with a front gable roof and central brick chimney. Its front facade is three bays wide, with two windows placed asymmetrically on either side of the entrance, which is slightly off-center. The rear roof face has a flare, extending the building to the rear, and there is a secondary entrance on the south side. Trim is limited to simple corner boards.</p><br>
<p>Although the house is placarded 1807, it was probably built in 1797 by Samuel Farnsworth, and is one of the only two-room cottages from the period to survive. The land was acquired by Samuel Farnsworth in 1790 from his father-in-law, Morgan Goodwin. He sold it in 1797, with dwelling and other outbuildings, to Titus Goodwin. The house remained in the Goodwin family for many years.</p><br>
<p>847 North Main Street in West Hartford, Connecticut, is one of the town&#39;s few surviving 18th-century houses. Dating to the mid-18th century, it is a well-preserved example of vernacular Georgian architecture, with a modest entrance surround. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on September 10, 1986.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>847 North Main Street is located in northern West Hartford, on the west side of North Main Street opposite its junction with Mohawk Drive. It is set on a low rise above the busy street by a brownstone retaining wall. It is a -story wood-frame structure, with two interior chimneys, a side gable roof, and a clapboarded exterior. The main facade is five bays wide, but asymmetrical, with the main entrance slightly off-center. The main entrance is flanked by pilasters and topped by a multi-layered entablature, and there is no window in the bay above. A -story gable-roof ell extends to the rear of the main block.</p><br>
<p>Documentary research suggests that the house was built about 1877, but it has been placarded with the date 1748, the inscription crediting its early ownership to Gurdon Flagg. The doorway treatment is a clearly Georgian feature, and the missing second-floor window is also typical of that period. The decorative treatment of its eaves is suggestive of mid-19th century alterations.</p><br>
<p>The house is signed as having been built in 1748, but architectural research suggests it was built c. 1777.</p><br>
<p>The Linneman Building was a historic commercial building in Lima, Ohio, United States. Located along South Main Street in the city&#39;s downtown, it was built in a transitional style of architecture in 1899.</p><br>
<p>At the time when the Linneman Building was built, Lima was experiencing an economic boom as a result of the discovery of petroleum in the surrounding countryside. According to the 1900 census, the citys population was three times that reported by the 1880 census; consequently, a large number of ornate buildings were erected in the citys downtown. Leading among these structures is the Metropolitan Block on the downtowns northern side, but many buildings at the citys center and on the southern edge of downtown, including the Linneman Building, were also architecturally significant.</p><br>
<p>In 1982, the Linneman Building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in recognition of its architectural significance. Another sixteen buildings in and around downtown Lima were added to the Register at the same time as part of the "Lima Multiple Resource Area," including the adjacent Dorsey Building. Today, the Linneman Building remains listed on the National Register, but it has been demolished. A parking lot now occupies the site of the ornate nineteenth-century structure.</p><br>

The left parlor has original paneling on the walls and doors, while the right parlor features a fine Federal style fireplace surround. Original doors are mounted on strap hinges.</p><br>
<p>Land on which the house built was first partitioned in 1679, and was assigned to Joseph Haynes, son of John Haynes, an early Connecticut governor. The house was probably built c. 1790 by Gurdon Saltonstall Whiting, a Haynes descendant, and is one West Hartfords few surviving 18th-century houses. It is particularly notable for its largely intact and extensive interior wood paneling.

<p>The Casino Theatre , is a theater in Gunnison, Utah, United States, that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It is the oldest functioning theater in Utah as it was built in 1912. It also featured an underground tunnel which was used to smuggle alcohol during the American prohibition. The tunnel has been sealed recently during renovations, due to safety concerns.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The theater is located at 78 South Main Street (US-89). The Beaux Arts building was constructed in 1912 and is currently undergoing renovations. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Gunnison entrepreneur Sims M. Duggins built the theater in 1912 as a "big box" as a first step in construction. Duggins had the Beaux-Arts School of Architectural Design in Paris design the façade and hired a Pittsburgh company to build it. Components of the façade arrived by train and were installed in 1915. Duggins died in 1928 and his widow hired C.E. Huish, whose family owned theaters throughout Utah, to manage the theater. Huish closed in the recessed entry with a wall at the front edge of the arch, and the addition that preserved many of the original decorations. Huish also installed restrooms and changed the name to the Star Theater.</p><br>
<p>In 1940, the Cyrill E. Anderson family of Gunnison bought the theater and in the 1950s put up the triangular marquee that remained on the building until the current restoration began. The Andersons continued to operate the Star until 1973, although it became less profitable as the years passed as it faced competition from TV movies, videos and DVDs. After Cyrill E. Anderson&#39;s death in 1973, the family sold the theater to Max and Beth Curtis of Aurora, who in turn sold it to Ernie and Dawn Larson in 1981. The Larsens installed a new roof and began the nomination process for listing on the National Register of Historic places. In 1993, Paul Mower along with his son Mike Mower, owner of the Huish Theater in Payson and a descendant of one-time Star Theater manager C.E. Huish, purchased the Star. It was later incorporated into Hustar-Inc. The Mowers upgraded the seating and sound system, as well as reinforcing the wooden support system under the floor with concrete and steel. The Mowers sold the building in November 2004 to the Casino Star Theatre Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to restoring the rather dilapidated structure to its original splendor.</p><br>
<p>Restoration of the exterior portion of the Theatre building was completed in late July 2013.</p><br>
<h2>Today</h2><br>
<p>In the late 1980s, before Larson sold the property to Mower, Diana Major Spencer and Lori Nay founded the non-profit organization Save Our Star ("SOS") and tried to purchase and rehabilitate the theater. When Mower put the theater on the market in 2004, Nay and Spencer formed the 501(c)(3) Casino Star Theatre Foundation to finance the building&#39;s purchase and repair.</p><br>
<p>The Sears, Roebuck and Company Department Store in Miami, Florida was an Art Deco building built in 1929 for Sears, Roebuck and Company. The building was the first known implementation of Art Deco architecture in the county and was spectacular. It was followed a year later by the Shrine Building , an application of Art Deco with local Seminole Indian motifs added as an interesting twist. Both were covered in a 1988 study of Downtown Miami historic resources, but were not NRHP-listed due to owner objections at the time. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on August 8, 1997. Only its tower remains.</p><br>
<p>After the areas drastic decline in the early 1980s, the buildings intense structural decay, and declining sales, the store closed for good in 1983. The building remained vacant and abandoned and was the subject to graffiti and vandalism. Sears was unable to sell the property and it donated the site to Dade County in 1992. That same year, the Sears signs were removed.</p><br>
<p>The building listing was added to the National Register on August 8, 1997. By 2001, the only surviving part of the original structure was a seven-story tower. The original department store space had been demolished. The tower was preserved and incorporated it into the new Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts, built in 2006.</p><br>
<p>The Sears building at one point absorbed a former Burdines department store. The Art Deco building was constructed in 1929, predating the Art Deco hotels on Ocean Drive in Miami Beach.</p><br>
