<p>The Waioli Mission District at Hanalei Bay, on Route 560 along the north shore of the island of Kauai, is the site of a historic mission. The first permanent missionaries to the area arrived in 1834, and the district was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.</p><br>
<p>The building is known as Wai‘oli Mission House and is now a museum open to the public.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>Wai oli means "joyful water" or "singing river" in the Hawaiian language.</p><br>
<p>In 1824, after the royal yacht Haʻaheo o Hawaiʻi ("Pride of Hawaii") ran aground in the bay, a crowd gathered for an attempt at salvage. Reverend Hiram Bingham took the opportunity to preach a sermon.</p><br>
<p>Around 1832, a thatched hut was built in this area for the missionaries to Hawaii from the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions who would visit from other missions in the Hawaiian Islands, such as the one at Waimea, Kauai. Early supporters were island governor Kaikioewa and Queen Dowager Deborah Kapule. The first permanent pastor was Reverend William Patterson Alexander (1805–1884), with his wife Mary Ann McKinney Alexander (1810–1888) who arrived in 1834. By then the original temporary structure had to be rebuilt. Alexander also started building a wood-framed house about 1835. Their son Samuel Thomas Alexander was born here.</p><br>
<p>After the second thatched church blew down in an 1837 storm, a frame building was begun and finished in 1841.</p><br>
<p>The new church was a single rectangular structure 35 ft by 70 ft.</p><br>
<p>Alexander also expanded his house for his growing family.</p><br>
<p>While most mission houses are built in the New England style (including the interiors), this house shows influence of the Southern States. This is attributed to Alexander being born in Paris, Kentucky. Edward Johnson and his wife Lois Hoyt Johnson arrived in 1837 and opened a school.</p><br>
<p>By the end of the 1840s, the American Board removed funding for the missions and formed a Hawaiian Evangelical Association which tried to raise funds with small farms at each site. After the Great Mahele the Wilcox family obtained fee simple title to the property. The mission school became the Hanalei Public School. Abner and Lucy Wilcox both died while visiting relatives in Colebrook, Connecticut, in August 1869. Albert Spencer Wilcox lived in the house until 1877.</p><br>
<p>In 1912 the current church building was built with donations from Sam, George, and Albert Wilcox (sons of the missionary couple, they were born at the station). The old 1841 church was used as the Mission Hall. The old mission bell was used in the belfry.</p><br>
<p>In 1921 Wilcox descendants funded architect Hart Wood to restore the Mission House and the Mission Hall. By 1945 it merged with the Anini Church and the Haena Church to become the Huiia Church.</p><br>
<p>Some of Abner Wilcox&#39;s library can still be seen in his study. In 1957 the Congregational Church organization became the United Church of Christ. Hui ia means "united" in the Hawaiian language.</p><br>
<p>The district includes 17 acre with the 1836 mission house, two caretaker cottages, and a garage, in addition to the 1841 Hall and 1912 Church. The house now is a small private museum.</p><br>
<p>The Georges de S. Canavarro House, also known as the Canavarro Castle, at 2756 Rooke Ave., Honolulu, Hawaii, was built in 1924&ndash;1927 for Georges de Souza Canavarro, son of the longtime Consul-General of Portugal in Hawaii, Antonio de Souza Canavarro. It was designed by Hart Wood, the leader of a group of architects aiming to develop a style suitable for the climate and lifestyle of the islands. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980 as a fine example of the Mediterranean Revival style employed for several large estates of that era, most notably Walter F. Dillingham&#39;s La Pietra. The design in this case was inspired by that of Sicilian villas.</p><br>
<p>The house site is on a steep slope in the Puunui area of Nuuanu Valley, next to the Oahu Country Club, with expansive views up the Valley and down to Honolulu harbor. The roofing is covered with red tiles, the masonry walls are covered with white stucco both inside and out, and the terraced floors and terraced grounds give the impression of a hillside town above the Mediterranean. The house itself is cross-shaped with an open courtyard and fountain in the center. The master bedroom, bath, and parlor are on the uphill side above the courtyard, with dining room, kitchen, and pantry on the downhill side. The north wing contains a library and two more bedrooms with separate baths. The interior floors are tiled and ceilings are coffered.</p><br>
<p>In 1947, the Canavarro Castle was purchased by the Korean Kook Min Hur (National Association), but subsequently fell into disuse. In 2002, the Korean Cultural Center of Hawaii bought the property and restored it for use as a meeting site and museum of the Korean independence movement.</p><br>
<p>The Buffalo Bill Cody Homestead is the boyhood home of Buffalo Bill Cody, a government scout and Wild West showman. The homestead is located in the broad valley of the Wapsipinicon River Valley south of McCausland, Iowa, United States, in rural Scott County. The farmhouse was built in 1847 by Isaac Cody, Buffalo Bill&#39;s father, of native limestone and contains walnut floors and trim.</p><br>
<p>Isaac and Mary Cody, parents of the legendary Buffalo Bill, moved their family to the homestead from LeClaire, Iowa, where Bill was born and raised.</p><br>
<p>On January 24, 1974, The Cody Homestead was entered to the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>The Iowa Society of The National Society of the Colonial Dames of America owns the furnishings in the 1847 main room and the 1870 bedroom.</p><br>
<p>The Oak Ballroom is a historic building in Schuyler, Nebraska constructed with dozens of native oak trees hauled to the building site from the nearby Platte River using horse and buggies. It was completed in 1937 as a Works Progress Administration project. The building, designed by Nebraska architect Emiel J. Christensen, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<p>The ballroom is at the entrance to Community Park on the Mormon Trail. Native rock is used for the walls. Chuck Hagel recalled attending dances at the ballroom and a fight at the locale.</p><br>
<p>The Tyrrell Historical Library is a public library in Beaumont, Texas. Originally built in 1903 to serve as the First Baptist Church, the building displays a mix of Richardsonian Romanesque and Victorian Gothic architectures, with pointed arch windows and quatrefoils, and all of its original stained glass. The building became vacant in 1923 when the congregation moved to a new location. It was bought by Captain W. C. Tyrrell, who donated the building to the city for use as its first public library. The building is listed in the National Register of Historic Places and also as a Recorded Texas Historic Landmark. It is also a contributing property to the Downtown Historic District.</p><br>
<p>After renovations, the library opened in 1926, serving as the main public library until 1974. Following construction of a new facility, this one was renamed as the "Tyrrell Historical Library," in honor of the philanthropist. It is the center repository of extensive genealogical archives and the library maintains a hallmark Texana collection. It was remodeled with systems upgrades in 1990. An addition was constructed in 2010, reflecting the main building&#39;s style without trying to recreate it.</p><br>

<p>The Phyllis Wheatley YWCA is a Young Women&#39;s Christian Association building in Washington, D.C., that was designed by architects Shroeder & Parish and was built in 1920. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<p>It is named for Phillis Wheatley (1753–1784), who was likely the first black woman professional poet and writer in the United States.</p><br>
<p>According to its National Register nomination, "The "Y" building is typical of the Colonial Revival institutional architecture so prevalent in the District and the United States during the 1920s and 1930s." It is four stories tall over a raised basement, and is built of red brick with a corbeled brick cornice.</p><br>
<p>The Northville Historic District is located in Northville, Michigan. It was designated a Michigan State Historic Site in 1970 alterations to the boundaries of the city-designated district in 2003 and 2007 included structures on the opposite sides of the original bounding streets within the district. The district is located in the heart of old Northville, and is primarily residential, although the 73 contributing structures, include several commercial buildings and a church. The majority of the district contains Gothic Revival houses constructed between 1860 and 1880.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The most significant structures in the district include:</p><br>
<p>First Baptist Church (209 N. Wing) - This church was founded in 1841. The present site of the church building was obtained by the congregation in 1844, and construction began in 1859.</p><br>
<p>Masonic Hall (106 E. Main) - In 1880, the first story of this commercial structure was built by Barton Wheeler. The Masonic Lodge constructed and occupied the floor, resulting in the two stories of the building being owned by two separate parties.</p><br>
<p>Freydl Stores (112 and 118 E. Main) - These commercial buildings were constructed in 1875.</p><br>
<p>Oakwood Cemetery (W. Cady) - The Oakwood Cemetery was established early in Northville&#39;s history, and is located on land donated by Daniel Cady and Martin Randolph.</p><br>
<p>Ambler House (473 W. Cady) - The Ambler House was built in 1840, and is a transitional Greek Revival style.</p><br>
<p>Methodist Parsonage (139 Dunlap) - The Parsonage was built in 1890 for William and Georgina Yerkes. The house is one of the few Queen Anne style structures in the district.</p><br>
<p>Alfred Heatley Residence (304 Dunlap) - The Alfred Heatley house, built in the 1870s, is a Victorian-style Gothic house. A wide porch was added to the structure in approximately 1910.</p><br>
<p>Dean Griswold House (317 Dunlap) - The Dean Griswold House is a brick Italianate structure built in 1882.</p><br>
<p>Dr. Manfred Lampe Residence (417 Dunlap) - The Lampe Residence is a cottage Gothic home built in the late 1860s or 1870s.</p><br>
<h2>Mill Race Village</h2><br>
<p>Two of the most significant structures in the district have been moved to the adjacent Mill Race Village, which was established in 1972 as a location where buildings slated for demolition could be moved. These two are:</p><br>
<p>The Cady Inn (formerly at 315 E. Cady) - The saltbox style house was believed to have been a tavern and a stop on the Underground Railroad.</p><br>
<p>The Yerkes House (formerly 164 E. Cady) - The Yerkes House was built around 1859 by Henry Wade, the finest area carpenter, for William Purdy Yerkes, the first village president. The house has nine rooms, and the Gothic carpentry is in excellent shape.</p><br>
<p>The Beck and R.C. Cahill Buildings was a historic commercial building on the southern side of downtown Lima, Ohio, United States. Built in 1890 in a late version of the Victorian style, the building was located along Main Street south of the city&#39;s central square. It appears that the buildings no longer exist.</p><br>
<h2>Origins</h2><br>
<p>Lima grew rapidly in the last years of the 19th century following the nearby discovery of petroleum in 1885. Many large commercial buildings were constructed in the city, including several on South Main Street such as the Martin and Kibby Blocks, the Dorsey Building, the Linneman Building, the Beck and Cahill Buildings, and the Adgate Block.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>Three large bays composed the first front of the three-story building, which was built of yellow brick and covered with a pyramid-shaped slate roof. The upper floors of the square building comprised thirteen bays on two sides and seventeen bays on the others. Decorative elements on the exterior included pilasters of cast iron and limestone quoins and trimming. Into the 1970s, two of the original three storefronts remained essentially as they had been since the building was constructed.</p><br>
<h2>Recent history</h2><br>
<p>In 1982, the Beck and R.C. Cahill Buildings was one of eighteen historic buildings in or near downtown Lima to be listed on the National Register of Historic Places. This collection, known as the "Lima Multiple Resource Area," embraced commercial and governmental buildings in the city constructed between 1860 and 1928. Among the other buildings included in the Multiple Resource Area were several on South Main Street, including the adjacent Linneman Building and Martin and Kibby Blocks.</p><br>
<p>Despite this recognition, the Beck and R.C. Cahill Buildings is no longer in existence: it has been torn down, and a parking lot now occupies its place.</p><br>
<p>The Renz Block was a historic commercial building in downtown Lima, Ohio, United States. Located along North Main Street across from the Allen County Courthouse, the block was built in 1900 in a late variant of the Victorian style.</p><br>
<p>The Renz Block was named for baker Jacob Renz, its second owner, who founded a bakery on North Main in 1887. By 1903, his business had expanded to the point that he needed to purchase larger premises; accordingly, he bought a nearby three-year-old building and established his business there. For many years, the company was a leading part of the local economy; at the time of its sale to another company in 1958, it was the largest bakery in Allen County.</p><br>
<p>When the Renz Block was constructed, Lima was in the middle of an economic boom prompted by the recent discovery of petroleum in the nearby vicinity; the citys population had grown by 300% in the previous fifteen years, and many large buildings were being erected in the citys downtown. Its architecture was comparable to or superior to that of many other period buildings; a 1980 survey ranked it as one of the most prominent examples of late nineteenth-century architecture remaining in the city. In recognition of its significant architecture, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982, along with seventeen other downtown buildings. Another of these buildings was the nearby Metropolitan Block, which remained an even better example of late nineteenth-century architecture than the Renz Block. Since that time, the Renz Block has been demolished; although it is still listed on the National Register, a parking lot sits at its location.</p><br>
<p>The Collins Mansion is a historic home in Great Falls, Montana, United States. The mansion was built in 1891 by Irish born Timothy Edward Collins, a local businessman who initially traveled to Montana during the gold rush. This, his second Great Falls residence was one of the towns first homes built on the west side of the Missouri River. The brick home, now covered in a stucco facade from the 1960s, is classified as Edwardian and Norman Shaw Queen Anne styles and was Great Falls first home to be listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Despite the now hidden brick facade, much of the original, exterior, Victorian details remain today untouched: classical modillions on the third floor dormer, egg-and-dart-crowned porch columns, dentillation beneath the cornice, and fluted pilasters flanking the mullions in the front windows. The mansion&#39;s interior contains quarter sawn oak, maple, cherry, birch, and eastern pine woodwork throughout.</p><br>
<p>The Aumic House in Guilderland, New York was built in 1887. It is a massive, composite styled building with hipped roof and gables and dormers. It includes Shingle Style and Colonial Revival elements. The house is built partway up a hill, the Helderberg Escarpment, and has a "commanding view of Altamont and the area east".</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982. The listing included two contributing buildings on a 16.4 acre area.</p><br>
<p>The Rivoli Theater is a historic theater on the eastern side of Indianapolis, Indiana, United States. The theater was built in 1927 and was designed by architect Henry Ziegler Dietz. Originally designed and built as a single screen movie theater by Universal Pictures, it was sold in 1937 and continued to provide motion pictures and live entertainment until its final closure in 1992. Since this time the venue has remained largely vacant. In 2007 the Rivoli Theater was acquired by the Rivoli Center for the Performing Arts, Inc., with the intent to restore and reopen the theater.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004.</p><br>
<p>The Pearce–McAllister Cottage is a former historic house museum in the City Park West neighborhood of northeast Denver, Colorado, United States. It is administered by History Colorado .</p><br>
<p>The cottage was built in 1899 in the Dutch Colonial Revival style. The Denver-based architect Frederick Sterner built the house for Harold V. Pearce and his wife, Cara Rowena Bell Pearce. The second owners, the McAllisters, remodeled the interior in the 1920s and this is how the cottage is now presented.</p><br>
<p>The Pearce–McAllister Cottage was home to the Denver Museum of Miniatures, Dolls and Toys until 2018. The collection includes more than 20,000 objects from 1680 onwards.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the US National Register of Historic Places in 1972.</p><br>
<p>The Joseph Beale House is a historic residence located at 2301 Massachusetts Avenue, Northwest, Washington, D.C., in the Embassy Row neighborhood. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on May 8, 1973.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The residence was built between 1907 and 1909 by Washington architect Glenn Brown, who designed several buildings along Massachusetts Avenue. Designed for Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Beale, Brown used 18th century Romanesque Revival architecture for his design. In November 1928, Margaret K.C. Brown sold the residence to the government of Egypt for $150,000. Since then, it has served as the official residence of the Egyptian ambassador to the United States.</p><br>
<p>Wheel of Fortune is a historic home located near Leipsic, Delaware. It was built in the 18th century, and is a two-story, five-bay, one room deep whitewashed brick dwelling in the Georgian style. It has a gable roof and the front facade features a one-bay entrance portico. It has a two-story rear wing, that originally contained a kitchen and servants quarters. Also on the property are a contributing meat house and milk house. The property was owned by Congressman John A. Nicholson  before 1888, and later by USA Senator James H. Hughes , who purchased it in 1910.</p><br>
<p>The houses name comes from a piece of land by the same name located along Muddy Branch south of Leipsic. While local lore claims the land was named as a play on owner John Chances name, it was known as Wheel of Fortune at least three years before Chance acquired the land in 1738.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.</p><br>
<p>Bykenhulle, originally known as Ivy Hall, is a historic house located on Bykenhulle Road near the hamlet of Hopewell Junction, New York, United States, in the Town of East Fishkill. It is a wooden house in the Greek Revival architectural style.</p><br>
<p>First built in the middle of the 19th century by a member of the locally prominent Adriance family, it was originally the center of a large farmstead. By the early 20th century the failing farm was subdivided, leaving the house on a smaller lot. A later set of owners bought it for use as a country retreat and renamed it after the original Dutch spelling of their name.</p><br>
<p>They renovated and restored the house with the intent of preserving its historic character. It retains enough despite the much newer residential construction around it that, in 1991, it and two of its outbuildings were listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Currently it is used as a bed and breakfast.</p><br>
<h2>Buildings and grounds</h2><br>
<p>Bykenhulle is located on a pair of lots totalling 5.7 acre in the north of East Fishkill. They are bordered by Bykenhulle Road on the south, neighboring residences on the east and west, and the Taconic State Parkway to the rear. It is on a slight rise just south of the Fishkill Creek flood plain. The neighborhood is wooded except for the cleared lots, many of which compare in size to Bykenhulle. A brick fence runs along the front.</p><br>
<p>The buildings are mostly located on the 3.7 acre lot, the larger of the two. At its east corner, a driveway leads in past the house and continues through to an exit at the parkway in the rear. A brick fence runs along the front of the property. The lot has mature trees and plantings, with an evergreen buffer at the rear along the parkway. The two-acre (8,000 m) lot to the southwest is today mostly a large lawn.</p><br>
<p>There are three other buildings and a swimming pool to the side and rear of the main house. Two of the buildings, a dairy barn and poultry house, date to the era of its construction and are considered contributing resources to the Register listing. The carriage house, now modified to serve as a garage, and swimming pool are not.</p><br>
<h3>House</h3><br>
<p>The main house&#39;s main block is a two-and-a-half-story, five-bay frame structure sided in clapboard. The south (front) facade has a centrally located three-bay porch, supported by four wooden columns, with a balustrade on top to serve as a balcony. All windows have wooden louvered shutters. Above a plain frieze, a gabled roof shingled in asphalt is pierced by two brick chimneys at either end. The north facade has a similarly centrally located entrance with roofless masonry porch and iron railing. Three dormer windows pierce the roof on this side.</p><br>
<p>A two-story, four-by-two-bay kitchen wing projects to the east. It has a similar treatment to the main block, with eyebrow windows in the frieze and an end chimney. The windows on its north facade are irregularly placed. The sunroom on the west end has glazed French doors on all three sides.</p><br>
<p>The recessed and trabeated main entrance is framed by pilasters on either side. The doorway is further framed by a transom and sidelights with pilasters decorated in a Greek style. The paneled door opens into a grand central hall with 11 ft ceilings, encircled by a sculpted plaster cornice. The interior doorways have a post-and-beam surround similar to the exterior ones, and a stairway to the second floor has a mahogany spindled balustrade and finely detailed turned newel post.</p><br>
<p>On the west are two large parlors. They are similarly decorated to the hall, adding ceiling medallions, silver-plated door hardware and black marble mantelpieces. A wide pocket door entryway with enormous Grecian surround connects them. The functional rooms on the east are similar in scale but more restrained in their decoration. The second-story rooms follow a similar layout but are more restrained in scale and decoration.</p><br>
<h3>Outbuildings</h3><br>
<p>Directly behind the house is the dairy barn. It is a two-story wooden English barn modified with a basement and swing beam sided in galvanized iron designed to imitate clapboard. A screened pheasant coop has been attached to the west, and the northeast corner has been extended to build a garage.</p><br>
<p>The poultry house is located further to the northwest, in line with the house and barn. It is a long frame two-story structure, sided with the same material as the barn, that has been converted into a hunting lodge. A cobblestone chimney and fireplace has been added to the west side, and the roosts removed from the interior. The building is entered by tipping a carved wooden liquor bottle into a nearby shot glass to reveal a peephole.</p><br>
<p>The carriage house was original to the building, but has been modified over the years. It is a rectangular frame building with front-facing gabled roof similar to the house. Its interior has been converted into two apartments, and the exterior has had new windows added, some old ones close and been resided with wider modern clapboards.</p><br>
<p>There were two other buildings and one structure formerly located on the property. The latter is on the north side of the property, the site of a former well still visible in the woods near the Taconic. The collapsed remains of a frame milk house are located to the east of the carriage house, and between the two there was once a frame storage building, of which no trace remains.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Peter Adriance, one of the descendants of Dutch settlers who moved from Long Island to Dutchess County in the late 18th century, gave the newly built house to his daughter Mary Ann and her husband, James Wilkinson, himself the scion of a wealthy Quaker family in the area, in 1841. From his 400 acre farm, he partitioned 150 acre to them. The house was in the highest of contemporary style, its dimension and decor less restrained than other Greek Revival farmhouses of the time. Finishings like the door hardware and marble mantelpieces would have been made in the city and brought to the house, testifying to the affluence of the Adriance family. They were on conspicuous display in the social spaces visitors would have experienced; the more restrained private and functional rooms are a reminder that the house was still the center of a large working farm.</p><br>
<p>A year after Peter Adriance died in 1852, his daughter and son-in-law availed themselves of the large inheritance he left her and moved to Poughkeepsie. They sold the house to a cousin on her mother&#39;s side, Charlotte Storm Genung, also descended from another old Dutchess settler, and her family. The Genungs named the house where their descendants would live for the next five decades Ivy Hall.</p><br>
<p>Very little is known about the Genungs during this period, as they apparently lived quietly, running the farm, making no changes to the house, building some of the outbuildings, and taking little role in public affairs. A county history in 1882 to which Charlotte&#39;s son Isaac contributed notes his ancestry and lists his profession as "farmer and assessor". It is the only record available about the Genung period of the house.</p><br>
<p>When Isaac died, his heirs were either unable or unwilling to sustain the farm, and defaulted on the mortgage. The farm and all its buildings and structures went into foreclosure. At a 1907 auction on the steps of the Dutchess County Court House in Poughkeepsie, it was sold for $4,000 ($ in contemporary dollars) to a Moses Lee of Patterson. Two years later, he realized a profit, selling it for $5,750 ($ in contemporary dollars) to Webster Wagner of New York City, a wealthy descendant of the co-inventor of the Pullman car. He delegated farming operations to tenants, preferring to use Ivy Hall as his country house.</p><br>
<p>It is believed that Wagner converted the poultry barn into a hunting lodge and built the pheasant coop so that he would have game birds to hunt, as hunting was a popular hobby among wealthy men of the era. He made no alterations to the house. In 1929 Florence Bicknell, wife of USA Rubber chairman John Bicknell, bought the house from Wagner for $100 ($ in contemporary dollars). It is not known why the property changed hands for such small amount. The low price could have reflected the onset of the Great Depression, a personal relationship between the parties, or might simply be an error in recordkeeping.</p><br>
<p>Indicative of a strong interest in historic preservation as a reason to own the home, the Bicknells changed the name of the property to Bykenhulle, the original Dutch spelling of their name. That principle guided their completion of the main house&#39;s transition from farmhouse to country retreat. They added the current historically themed wallpaper to the front hall, put in modern heating and plumbing in an unobtrusive fashion and remodeling the northern rooms into a library and dining room. They made more changes to the upper story, eliminating a stair and replacing it with a false fireplace. In the process of modernizing the kitchen wing completely, they changed its original layout but kept its scale and design consistent with the main house.</p><br>
<p>In the late 1930s the Taconic State Parkway was built through the area, cutting the main house area off from some of its former pasturelands. In 1963, when the Bicknells sold the land, Mary Ann Wilkinsons wedding gift was subdivided into 1 – lots, spurring the current exurban residential development. The pool was added to the property in 1972, and a traditional garden planted in 1990. A year prior to the latter, the sunroom was added to the west of the house. Later owners of Bykenhulle have included an IBM executive and the current bed and breakfast operators, both of whom have continued to maintain the propertys historic character.</p><br>
<p>The Magee Farm, also known as the Jacob Magee House, is a historic residence in Kushla, Alabama, United States. Built by Jacob Magee in 1848, the -story wood-frame structure is an example of the Gulf Coast Cottage style. The house is best known as the site of preliminary arrangements for the surrender of the last Confederate States Army east of the Mississippi River. Confederate General Richard Taylor negotiated a ceasefire with Union General Edward Canby at the house on April 29, 1865. Taylors forces, comprising 47,000 Confederate troops serving in Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana, were the last remaining Confederate force east of the Mississippi River. The Magee Farm was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on February 11, 1988. In 2004, partially through the efforts of the Civil War Trust, a division of the American Battlefield Trust, which helped save 12.6 acres of the farm, the house was opened as a museum. It ceased operation as a museum in 2010, due to a lack of public support and declining revenues, and was listed for sale. It was then listed on the Alabama Historical Commissions Places in Peril listing for 2010.</p><br>
<p>The Hotel Argonne is a historic hotel in downtown Lima, Ohio, United States. Built in 1919, the hotel was dedicated to veterans of the Meuse-Argonne Offensive during the recently concluded World War.</p><br>
<p>Designed by Andrew DeCurtins, the heavily ornamented ten-story hotel is built of limestone and brick. Among the exterior features are spandrels and pilasters with triple entablatures on the lowest two floors, plus a cornice with plentiful dentils and parapets. Inside, the lobby includes marble, various types of wood, and large amounts of decorative molding.</p><br>
<p>In 1982, the Hotel Argonne was listed on the National Register of Historic Places because of its architecture. It was part of the "Lima Multiple Resource Area," a group of seventeen architecturally significant Lima buildings that were added to the Register together. Like several other buildings in this collection, the hotel was among the last major structures erected in Lima&#39;s most prosperous years, during which oil wealth and the success of the Lima Locomotive Works were the most important parts of a thriving economy.</p><br>
<p>Grace Church  is a historic Episcopal church and cemetery at Route 1003 and Main Street in Yorktown, Virginia.</p><br>
<p>It was built in 1697 and later updated with a Greek Revival style. Thomas Nelson, Jr., a signer of the Declaration of Independence and other pre-Revolution Founding Fathers attended the church.</p><br>
<p>The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1970.</p><br>
<p>Cokesbury United Methodist Church is a historic Methodist church located at 13 Market Street in Onancock, Accomack County, Virginia. It was built in 1854, as a one-story, Greek Revival-style temple-front frame church. It was enlarged with a four-story, Gothic Revival entrance / bell tower with spire in 1886 and remodeled in 1892–1894.

<p>St. Georges Church is a historic Episcopal Church on VA 178, northeast of the junction with VA 180 in Pungoteague, Accomack County, Virginia. Established in the seventeenth century, the building, erected in 1738, is the oldest house of worship standing on Virginias Eastern Shore. The church was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1970.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In the mid-1730s, construction of a new church at Pungoteague began. The building, completed around 1738, was among the most elaborate in the Colony of Virginia. However, the Church of England (which reorganized after the Revolution as the Episcopal Church) was disestablished in Virginia early in the 19th century. Priests no longer could count on government support of their salaries, and soon the farms (glebes) which provided part of their salaries were privatized. Many fell into ruin, but some were repaired mid-century as the local economy improved. St. George&#39;s Church still preserves a silver communion service inscribed "This belongs to the Parish of Accomack" dated 1734–5.</p><br>
<p>During the American Civil War, the Union Army occupied the Eastern Shore (Delmarva Peninsula) from Hampton Roads northwards. Union troops protecting a strategic telephone line camped nearby, and housed their horses in the churchs box pews, which were heavily damaged. By the end of the Civil War, St. Georges Church stood in ruin, one of its four wings completely dismantled and all interior furnishing destroyed. Episcopalians reclaimed the church in 1880 and partially restored it by using the remnants of the original walls to patch the transept which still stands today.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>Designed in Georgian style, St. Georges Church was originally cruciform in shape with a communion table oriented to the east, box pews, an elevated pulpit, and a semi-circular apse (common in Georgian Churches in Maryland, but not in Virginia). The entire building was topped with a hipped, gambrel roof, also a unique feature among Virginias Georgian churches. Though only a fragment remains today, the churchs brickwork was especially well-executed using flemish bond accented by glazed headers. The only known image of the structures original design is a sketch made by Reverend James Wallace Eastburn in 1819.</p><br>
<h2>Modern times</h2><br>
<p>The church is still active in the Episcopal Diocese of Southern Virginia. The Rev. Cameron Randle is rector of the churches of St. George&#39;s parish, which also includes nearby historic St. James Church in Accomac, Virginia.</p><br>
<p>St. James Church is a historic Episcopal Church on Drummondtown Road near Back Street in Accomac, Virginia, United States. Originally established as a chapel of ease for Accomack Parish in the seventeenth century, the present St. James Church was erected in 1838 as the town then known as Drummondtown grew as the county seat . In recognition of its Greek Revival design and interior trompe-l&#39;oeil frescos, St. James Church was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1969. It is also a contributing building of the Accomac Historic District which was created in 1992.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Accomack Parish of the Anglican (Episcopal) Church was separated from Hungars Parish in 1663. St. James Church was originally established as a chapel of ease for Accomack Parish to serve congregants living in southeastern Accomack County. The original church, constructed of brick in Georgian style, was completed in 1767. It stood near the present-day town of Onley, Virginia. About twenty years after the construction of the first St. James Church, Drummondtown) was chartered by the Virginia General Assembly and established as the county seat for Accomack County. As the town developed in the early-19th century, St. James&#39; parishioners decided to move their church closer to the county seat. Drummondtown had two thriving hotels, as well as a Methodist and Presbyterian churches, furniture and hat-making factories, stores and houses.</p><br>
<p>Land was purchased in 1838 and construction began with some bricks from the original church. The new church was designed in the popular Greek Revival style and laid out in the low-church style typical of Episcopal Churches in the first half of the nineteenth century. This plan can still be seen in the church today, which has two doors leading into two aisles inside the church and a central platform which was originally the site of the pulpit. A vesting room was constructed at the center of the back wall of the church. The vestry commissioned traveling artist Jean G. Potts to fresco the churchs interior walls and ceiling. The artist, a master of the trompe-loeil ("fool the eye") style, created a chancel designed to make the church seem deeper, and also decorated the walls with simulated pilasters, moulding, and raised-panel walls.</p><br>
<p>The town flourished in the 1840s and by 1860 hosted the first newspaper published on the Eastern Shore. This was the home parish of Henry A. Wise, a prominent lawyer who served as USA Minister to Brazil, and Virginias 33rd governor (from 1856 until 1860). His birthplace remains visible from the churchs back lawn. Wises first two wives came from Pennsylvania, and the sister of his second wife (who died of childbirth complications in 1850) married an army officer who became Union General George G. Meade. By 1853, Wise had moved to his third wifes estate near Norfolk. Governor Wise may be most famous for signing John Browns death warrant, or for his secession oratory. Despite his lack of military training, Wise became a Confederate General (removed from his duties in the west in 1862 and reassigned to protect the southern Chesapeake Bay region, but who lost the Battle of Roanoke Island). Confederate General Wise continued to serve in North Carolina and Virginia until wars end, when he urged General Robert E. Lee to surrender at Appomattox Courthouse. After the war, Wise resumed his legal practice in Richmond.</p><br>
<p>While many other churches on the Eastern Shore of Virginia were severely damaged by occupying Union Army during the American Civil War, including nearby St. Georges Church, St. James Church was spared. Union General Henry H. Lockwood listened to the urging of Accomacs citizens and kept his troops well-disciplined. Lockwood also took over a house abandoned by Dr. Peter Browne, which he made Union headquarters for construction of a telegraph line to Hampton Roads, and later became the rectory for this church&#39;s ministers.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>St. James Church is designed in Greek Revival style. The brick walls are laid in 3-to-1 common bond both above and below the water table which is concealed by stucco on the front (southwest) facade which is scored to simulate ashlar stone. The front facade is dominated by a tetrastyle portico of Doric order which has a brick floor laid in heringbone. Two doorways, each with double six-panel raised doors, provide access to the interior and a lunette window is centered above which provides light to the gallery stair inside. A wooden cornice with dentil trim extends across the front facade of the portico and along each side of the church. Centered over the front gable is a wooden belfry and spire, which featured paired columns at each corner framing a lancet-shaped louvered opening. These gothic arches are the only element of the building that contrast from the Greek Revival style.</p><br>
<p>Inside, St. James Church is dominated by Potts trompe-loeil frescoes, which cover all four walls beginning at the dado and rising to and covering the barrel vaulted ceiling. The walls are painted to simulate recessed panels which rise to a painted cornice. Potts then painted a row of coffers around the four sides of the ceiling which frame a large panel that is decorated with simulated plaster scrollwork. In the center of the ceiling is a painted medallion with a profusion of scrollwork. Apart from the ceiling, Potts lavished much detail on the wall behind the chancel, where four fluted pilasters rise to support an entablature and cornice, creating a visual opening to a barrel vaulted apse with coffered ceiling, all painted onto the flat wall. The frescoes conceal a door which opens into the vestry that is centered on the rear wall of the church. In the 20th century, Linda Croison and Philip Ward restored the frescoes, but preserved patches of Potts&#39; original work in the back of the nave.</p><br>
<p>The interior furnishings are mostly of simple design. Slip pews with doors, each labeled with roman numerals, span the nave in four sections and extend along each side to frame the chancel. A balustrade with turned balusters spans the three sides of the chancel, opening with two gates at the back wall on each side. The gallery extending across the rear of the nave is accessed by a central staircase. Two flights rise along the back wall from each door to a shared landing, where a flying stair continues up to the gallery floor.</p><br>

<p>After his marriage in 1741, Gerrebrant Van Houten built a brick farmhouse with a frame addition on this site. His son, Dirck lived here during the American Revolutionary War. General George Washington visited here while he was staying at the Dey Mansion in 1780. The original house burned in 1830, and Dircks son Adrian rebuilt and enlarged it in 1831. After Adrians death in 1855, the Society for Establishing Useful Manufactures (S.U.M.) bought the house. The Van Houten House was purchased by the city of Paterson in 1889.</p><br>
<p>Lambert Castle, originally called Belle Vista, is located within the Garret Mountain Reservation in Paterson, Passaic County, New Jersey. The building was built in 1892 and was added to the National Register of Historic Places on June 3, 1976, for its significance in art, architecture, and industry.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Lambert Castle was built in 1892 as the home of Catholina Lambert, the owner of a prominent silk mill in the City of Paterson. Constructed in the Medieval Revival architectural style, Mr. Lambert&#39;s dream was to build a home reminiscent of the castles in Great Britain that he remembered from his boyhood years. President William McKinley and Vice President Garret Hobart visited the castle in 1898.</p><br>
<p>In June 1910, filmmaker D. W. Griffith shot The Call To Arms on the grounds. The film was released in July 1910. The cast included Mary Pickford (in her only male role) and Henry B. Walthall. Film Preservation Society, Inc. is currently restoring the film as part of The Biograph Project.</p><br>
<p>After Lambert&#39;s death in 1923, his family sold the building to the City of Paterson, which in turn sold it to Passaic County a few years later. Passaic County used the building for administrative offices, and in 1936, provided one room to the fledgling Passaic County Historical Society to serve as its historical museum. As time went by the museum grew, room by room, until the entire first floor became the historical museum.</p><br>
<p>In the late 1990s, the Castle underwent a multimillion-dollar restoration and all four floors of the building were developed into a museum and library.</p><br>
<h2>Construction</h2><br>
<p>Construction began on the castle in 1891. The castle was built on the side of the First Watchung Mountain out of sandstone and granite. The sandstone was quarried from the surrounding hills. The initial construction cost was estimated at a half a million dollars. In 1896, an art gallery was added to the castle and a 70-foot observation tower was constructed on the crest of the cliff.</p><br>
<p>The gallery wing fell into disrepair and was demolished in 1936. The observation tower was open to the public until the late 1960s when it was closed due to disrepair.</p><br>
<p>In 2014 the Garret Rock Observation tower renovations were completed and the observation tower was reopened to the public. Admission to the tower is free with panoramic views available from the top.</p><br>
