<h2>History and description</h2><br>
<p>In 1877, Scottish immigrant John MacCullough, a wealthy wool-industry businessman, built a two-story fieldstone house in the manor of a castle, with two octagonal turrets. In 1902, it was purchased by Jennie Tuttle Hobart, widow of the former vice president Garret Hobart and became the weekend retreat and summer residence of the family. In 1915, their son Garret Hobart Jr. added a three-story brick wing, designed by Paterson architects Fred Wesley Wentworth and Frederick Vreeland. In 1948, the state acquired the property for use as the Paterson State Teachers College, now William Paterson University. Today the building is known as Hobart Manor and houses the university&#39;s Office of the President and Office of Institutional Advancement.</p><br>
<p>The Unity Ranger Station is a United States Forest Service compound consisting of five buildings and a lookout tower in the Wallowa-Whitman National Forest of northeastern Oregon. It was previously the administrative headquarters for the Unity Ranger District. It is located in the small unincorporated community of Unity, Oregon. The historic structures were built in the rustic style by the Civilian Conservation Corps between 1936 and 1938. Today, the ranger station is only used during the summer months to house Forest Service fire crews. The ranger station is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In the early 20th century, the forest road networks were not well developed. To facilitate work in National Forests, the Forest Service built district ranger stations at strategic locations within the forest to house full-time employees and provide logistics support to fire patrols and project crews working in remote areas of the forest. After World War II, the Forest Service greatly expanded its road network, allowing employees to get to most forest areas within a few hours. As a result, many of the more isolated ranger stations were closed or converted to summer guard stations.</p><br>
<p>The Whitman National Forest was established in 1908. The Unity Ranger District was an administrative subdivision of the Whitman National Forest, with responsibility for 194,000 acre of forest land in the Blue Mountains of northeastern Oregon. After the Forest Service reorganization in 1954, the Unity Ranger District became part of the much larger Wallowa-Whitman National Forest.</p><br>
<p>The Civilian Conservation Corps began doing construction work at the ranger station in 1936. Between 1936 and 1938, Civilian Conservation Corps crews built a number of ranger station buildings. The construction crews worked under the supervision of Forest Service rangers. All of the buildings constructed during that period were designed by the Forest Service&#39;s Pacific Northwest Regional Architecture Group, and were built in the Cascadian rustic style.</p><br>
<p>In 1953, two buildings were moved to the ranger station from the John Day Experiment Station, a Forest Service research site on the Blue Mountains. This gave the ranger station a second ranger residence and a bunkhouse. Both of the buildings were constructed by the Civilian Conservation Corps under the supervision of Forest Service rangers at about the same time as the original ranger station structures. The two experiment station buildings have the same architectural characteristics as the original ranger station structures and were built using the same materials and methods.</p><br>
<p>The Unity Ranger Station served as a district headquarters until 2002, when the Unity district and two other ranger districts were merged and the headquarters was moved to Baker City, Oregon. However, a full-time visitor center remained open at the site until 2009. Today, the Unity Ranger Station is only open during the summer months, when the facilities are used to house Forest Service fire fighters.</p><br>
<p>There are six historically important structures that make up the ranger station complex. The historic buildings are all in excellent condition and are still used by Forest Service employees during the summer fire season. Because the Unity Ranger Station is of unique historic value as an early Forest Service ranger station, the compound was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on 11 April 1986. All of the historic buildings are located in close proximity to one another so the historic district covers just 1 acre.</p><br>
<h2>Structures</h2><br>
<p>With six historic structures, the Unity Ranger Station is a classic Forest Service range station. All of the historic buildings were built by the Civilian Conservation Corps between 1936 and 1938. Their work included two ranger residences, a bunkhouse, an equipment warehouse, a garage, and a fire lookout tower. The buildings were constructed in the Cascadian rustic architectural style using a wood-frame structure on a concrete foundation with clapboard, wood shingles, native lava stone, and concrete as the principal building materials. Many of the gables and shutters have the "open pine tree" logo common to Forest Service structures built during the 1930s.</p><br>
<p>The first ranger residence (building #1051) was built at the ranger station by the Civilian Conservation Corps. It is an L-shaped, one-story wood-frame building on a concrete foundation. It has a gabled roof with a hip extension on the east end. There are decorative pine tree logo cut outs on the north and west gable ends. The building&#39;s exterior is covered with clapboard except the gable ends which have vertical board and batten siding. There is a red lava stone chimney on the west side of the building. The roof extends out past the walls to cover porches on the north and east sides of the building. The porch roofs are supported by square timber posts. The residence has a combination of six-over-six double-hung sash windows and four-over-four double-hung sash windows. There have been no significant alterations to the exterior structure of the building.</p><br>
<p>Near residence #1051, there is a small rectangular residential garage. It is a one-story wood-frame building on a poured concrete foundation. It has a gabled roof covered with wood shingles. The garage has horizontal lapped siding with vertical board and batten at the gable ends. An overhead-lift type vehicle-entry door is located on the west side of the building. There is also a regular entry door on the north. The garage&#39;s exterior siding was replaced in 1983 using the same kind of material as the original.</p><br>
<p>The Unity Ranger Station equipment warehouse is a wood-frame structure, built at the site by the Civilian Conservation Corps. The foundation is concrete with a stone veneer. It has a wood-shingled gabled roof with a large projecting gable that gives the building an L-shape. There is a vehicle entrance below the projecting gable. There is a red lava stone chimney off-center on the south roof slope. The main roof extends out on the north side of the building to cover the porch. The porch roof is supported by square timber posts. The exterior siding is horizontal clapboard with vertical board and batten siding at the gable ends. Windows are the single-sash type. There is a decorative pine tree logo cut out just below the peak on the projecting gable.</p><br>
<p>A second residence (building #1052) was built by the Civilian Conservation Corps at the John Day Experiment Station sometime between 1936 and 1938. It was moved to the ranger station in 1953. It is an L-shaped, -story wood-frame structure on a concrete foundation. It has a high gabled roof with larger gabled dormers on the south side (rear) of the structure. There is a large offset gable on the northeast corner and shed-type roof over the front porch which is located on the north side of the building. The porch roof is supported by round peeled-log posts. There is a brick chimney on the south side of the house and a concrete chimney on the north side. The exterior siding is horizontal clapboard with wooden corner trim and vertical board and batten siding at the gable ends. The residence has six-over-six double-hung sash windows. There are decorative pine tree logo cut outs just below the peak on the north, east, and west gable ends of the building.</p><br>
<p>Like residence #1052, the bunkhouse was originally constructed at the John Day Experiment Station in the mid-1930s, and moved to the ranger station in 1953. The bunkhouse is a -story, rectangular building. It has a wood-frame, concrete foundation, and a high gabled roof with wooden-shingles. It has two large gable dormers on the front roof slope. There are also two cement chimneys that straddle the roof ridge. The exterior siding is horizontal clapboard with vertical board and batten siding at the gable ends. The bunkhouse has six-over-six double-hung sash windows. There are decorative pine tree logo cut outs just below the peak on the east and west gable ends of the building and at the crest of the two dormers.</p><br>
<p>The Unity Ranger Station has a combined fire lookout and water tower located on the compound. The 60 ft high, wooden tower was built by the Civilian Conservation Corps in 1938. The tower has a 7 ft by 7 ft cab mounted on a 12 ft square deck with a catwalk enclosed by simple wooden railing. The windows have top-hinged, wooden shutters that help shade the cab when open. The tower is built with creosote treated Douglas-fir timbers. There is a wooden stairway leading up to the cab. There is a wooden water tank located just below the cab. The tower structure has never been modified so it remains true to its original design.</p><br>

The dining room and kitchen occupy the right rear wing, near a maids quarters and a garage on the south side.</p><br>
<p>The original owners lived in the house until 1940, when Judson sold her share to Eyman, who sold the house in 1943. As nurses, they set up the first Physicians Telephone Exchange in the Territory. Judson also worked many years for Dr. Forrest Joy Pinkerton, who founded the Blood Bank of Hawaii and the Pan-Pacific Surgical Association. Eyman managed the Mabel Smyth Memorial Building from the time it was built in 1941 until she retired in 1952.</p><br>

<p>Every fall, students of Ocean City High School turn the building into a Haunted House to celebrate Halloween, although there have been gaps where this didn&#39;t happen.</p><br>
<h2>Geography and setting</h2><br>
<p>Ocean City City Hall is a three-story building that is located at the corner of the intersection of Ninth Street and Asbury Avenue on a 0.3 acre lot. It faces Asbury Avenue, and is along the main corridor that enters the city. In 1914, the same year the building was finished, a causeway connecting Ocean City with Somers Point was opened.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In 1896, the location of the current building was an undeveloped lot, owned by the Borough of Ocean City. In 1896, Volunteer fire Company #1 built their headquarters on the site as a wood-frame structure. After their 1911 election, the newly elected city commission purchased the property next to the fire house for $6,500, with the intention of constructing a city hall. At that time, city commissioners held meetings at the Massey & Edwards building at Eighth Street and Wesley Avenue. On December 6, 1912, the commissioners passed a resolution to advertise for plans to construct a new city hall, intending to make the new building a gateway to the city once the newly approved Somers Point&ndash;Ocean City bridge was opened. In April 1913, the city commission passed Ordinance #45, which authorized the costs for the new building. Then-mayor Harry Headley voiced his support, noting that Ocean City was the only town in the county without a city hall. Residents objected to the cost and need of the new building, resulting in a special referendum on August 1, 1913. Voters approved the construction of the new facility, and six days later, the city commission secured the plans and specifications of the new city hall.</p><br>
<p>The plan chosen by the Young Men&#39;s Progressive League was designed by architect Vivian B. Smith in collaboration with Earle M. Henderer. On April 11, 1914, the cornerstone was laid, marking the beginning of construction. The building was completed by the end of the year at cost of $75,000, and opened to public tours on January 1, 1915. Upset at the high cost of the building, residents did not re-elect Mayor Headley amid an organized opposition campaign.</p><br>
<p>On the Ninth Street side, five archways were originally designed to house fire vehicles. This served as the location for the No. 1 and No. 3 fire houses. The building also originally housed the police department, containing a jail cell.</p><br>
<p>On February 6, 1997, the city government requested that the City Hall be listed on the National Register of Historic Places. This request was formally approved on June 13 of that year.</p><br>
<p>In 2012, floodwaters from Hurricane Sandy damaged the first floor of the building, causing the offices to be relocated. The town&#39;s city council approved a $1.17 million contract to rebuild and improve the first floor, including improved flood gates, water proofing up to 4 ft deep, and a new layout that added a public information area and larger bathrooms.</p><br>
<p>To celebrate its 100th anniversary, the building was made the subject of the 2014 Ocean City seasonal beach tag.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>An example of Beaux-Arts architecture, the building is made of brick, stone, and terracotta around a steel frame. A stairway, leading from Asbury Avenue to the buildings second floor, is made of brick with stone coping, adjoined by two cast iron light fixtures, and two columns extending to the third floor. The east and north sides of the building both face alleyways with rectangular window openings. On the buildings frieze below the roof, terracotta letters spell City Hall. The roof is surrounded by a parapet, and the top of the roof has three skylights.</p><br>

<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The tunnel was built in 1871 by the New Jersey Midland Railway in order to cross the Wallkill Valley. New York, Susquehanna and Western Railway took over control of the tunnel in 1881 when the Midland Railway Line was merged into it. The tunnel was first referenced as the Backwards Tunnel in 1976 because it was thought that the tunnel should have been wider over the road than over the river. Ogdensburg declared the tunnel a borough historic site in 1991. A flood in 2000 which caused two nearby dams to burst damaged the tunnel. A book was published in 2009 about the history of the tunnel.</p><br>

<p>The Lima Cleaning and Pressing Company Building is a historic structure located along South Main Street in Lima, Ohio, United States. Built in 1890, it is an example of an early style of commercial architecture.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>A small two-story brick building, the Lima Cleaning and Pressing Company Building has a facade three bays wide; possible storefronts, changed little from the original construction, are included on each side. Between the entrances to the two portions of the building is an entrance to stairs to the upper floor, and stairs to the basement level can be found on each side; all of these stairways are accompanied by iron railings. A unique wrought iron railing lines the edge of a second-story balcony, which can be accessed from the second floor by an elaborate double door. Each of these aspects of the building, as well as details such as transoms and a heavily detailed cornice, distinguishes it from all other buildings in the city — no other Lima building features such cunningly made ironwork.</p><br>
<h2>Construction</h2><br>
<p>After the discovery of petroleum in the vicinity of Lima in 1885, the citys population grew greatly, and the construction of commercial buildings along South Main Street proceeded at a rapid pace. Accompanying these new buildings in the southern Kibby Corners neighborhood were large numbers of frame houses erected as homes for the workers in the citys burgeoning industrial enterprises. For many years, the Lima Cleaning and Pressing Company Building served as offices for dry cleaners and for plumbers.</p><br>
<h2>Preservation</h2><br>
<p>Today, much of South Main Street and Kibby Corners languish in a state of decay. Many abandoned buildings have been demolished by the city government, and community areas such as parks and streetsides are becoming less attractive as a result of a lack of proper maintenance. Two exceptions to this process of decay are the Lima Cleaning and Pressing Company Building and the adjacent Armory-Latisona Building; these two historic buildings have been identified as key to the area&#39;s historic nature.</p><br>
<p>In 1982, the Armory-Latisona Building and the Lima Cleaning and Pressing Company Building were two of seventeen buildings in Lima that were added to the National Register of Historic Places as part of the "Lima Multiple Resource Area." Key to its inclusion in this group of properties was the integrity of the building&#39;s unique architecture.</p><br>
<p>The Grant County Courthouse, built in 1902, is an historic glass-and-copper-domed county courthouse building located at 126 West Main Street in Lancaster, Wisconsin. Designed by Armand D. Koch in the Classical Revival style, it was built of red sandstone.</p><br>
<p>Murals decorating the four spandrels under the dome were done by Franz E. Rohrbeck. In a small room on the 1st floor (labeled "G.A.R.") can be found "the Stars and Bars." the flag of the Confederacy, captured from Archer&#39;s troops at the Battle of Gettysburg by the 7th Wisconsin.</p><br>
<p>On October 19, 1978, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>The Martin and Kibby Blocks are a pair of historic buildings in downtown Lima, Ohio, United States. Erected in 1884, they are brick structures built in the Victorian Gothic style of architecture. Both buildings are rectangular structures, three-stories tall, and topped with sloped roofs of asphalt. Among the decorative elements present on these buildings are brick pilasters next to the main entrances, stone lintels around the windows, and decorative corbelling between the structural brackets.</p><br>
<p>Contemporary to the construction of the two blocks was the discovery of petroleum in the vicinity of Lima and the consequent rapid growth of the city. A large number of significant commercial buildings were erected in the city at this time, including the Martin and Kibby Blocks and several other major commercial buildings along South Main Street near the city&#39;s central square.</p><br>
<p>In 1982, the Martin and Kibby Blocks were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in recognition of their historically significant architecture. Many other Lima buildings, including six others on South Main, were added to the Register at the same time as part of the "Lima Multiple Resource Area," a collection of downtown buildings important because of their architecture.</p><br>
<p>The James M. Lloyd House is a historic home located at the corner of Old Bardstown Road  and Dooley Drive in Mount Washington, Kentucky. After the original home on the property was lost to fire in 1880, James M. Lloyd, a skilled carpenter, constructed this new home for his family. The original two-story, three-bay structure with a central hall and stairwell rests on a limestone foundation. The frame and weatherboard siding were hewn from yellow poplar by the Collier mill of Mt. Washington. In the early 1900s a rear ell with a large side porch was added. In the 1940s the porch area was enclosed and became the kitchen and bathroom.</p><br>
<p>The home remained in the Lloyd family until 1989 when it was donated to the Mt. Washington Historical Society by Mr. Kenneth Lutes in memory of his wife, Anita Ann Dooley Lutes, a great-granddaughter of James M. Lloyd. The Lloyd House was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1993.</p><br>
<h2>Preservation</h2><br>
<p>Today, the home is the headquarters of the Mt. Washington Historical Society. The Historical Society continues in its quest to rehabilitate the home to serve as a meeting place, research center and museum dedicated to preserving and sharing the history of Mt. Washington. The home is open to the public for special events hosted by the Historical Society or for individual or group tours by appointment only.</p><br>
<p>Jackson School, built in 1936, is located in Enid, Garfield County, Oklahoma and listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1989. It is one of three Mission/Spanish Colonial buildings in Enid. The other two are the 1928 Rock Island Depot, also listed on the register, and the Ehly house, constructed in 1929 for local J.C. Penneys manager, Gus Ehly. The building is constructed using buff brick and cast stone decorative molding. It has two arched entry ways with red tile shed roofs, a Greek cross in the upper middle section, and cement staircases. The building encompasses Block 16 of Enids Southern Heights second addition. Its architect Roy Shaw also designed several other Enid school buildings including Enid High School, Adams, Garfield, Roosevelt, and Longfellow. Jackson school served as an all-white school until Enid&#39;s schools integrated in 1959. From 1967 to 1969, Jackson and neighboring George Washington Carver, formerly an all-black school, split grades 1-3 and 4–6, respectively, between the two schools, until both were closed in 1969.</p><br>
<p>The Alamance County Courthouse in Graham, North Carolina, was built in 1923. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Alamance County has had several courthouses throughout its history.</p><br>
<h3>Original Court</h3><br>
<p>The county&#39;s founding in 1849 was held at the Providence Meeting House in what would eventually become the Town of Graham. The Orange County Courts had held court here to serve the needs of the western half of the county prior to the founding of Alamance County in 1849. The first Court Session was held in June 1849.</p><br>
<h3>First Courthouse</h3><br>
<p>On July 17, 1849, the Alamance County Commissioners voted to spend $8,000 to construct a courthouse in a 75 acre area located approximately 2 mi south of the Providence Church. The County Commissioners expected to pay for the courthouse through the sale of land in the new county seat of Graham. They also levied an ad valorem tax on property of 35.25 cents per $100 valuation and a poll tax of 73.75 cents.</p><br>
<p>The courthouse was constructed with brick for the sum of $6,400 and was opened in 1852. In 1888, 2 new wings were added to the courthouse and the exterior of the courthouse was stuccoed. The courthouse remained open until 1923, when the County Commissioners voted for a new courthouse to replace the over 70-year-old building. In 1914, a memorial to Confederate soldiers was added to the courthouse grounds.</p><br>
<p>The original courthouse was demolished in November 1923.</p><br>
<h4>Sesquicentennial Park</h4><br>
<p>One of the only remaining pieces of the old courthouse is the 400 lb bell from the cupola, which currently resides at Sesquicentennial Park in Graham. The park was established in 1994 to celebrate the 150th anniversary of Alamance County and resides in the northwest corner of the city&#39;s Courthouse Square. The courthouse bell is the centerpiece of the park, which includes planters with vegetation, benches, and a metal framework over a red brick courtyard.</p><br>
<h2>Historic Courthouse</h2><br>
<p>The current Alamance County Courthouse that sits on the National Register of Historic Places, began construction in 1923 and was opened to the public on November 23, 1924, at a cost of $253,925.82. The courthouse was built in the Classical Revival style and features terracotta stonework, dental tooth molding, and metal-masonry floors. The courthouse originally housed the court system, county government offices, the sheriffs office, state government offices, agricultural offices, health department offices, and federal offices. The original sheriffs office is located in the southwestern 1st floor corner of the building, which features metal-framed shatter-resistant windows.</p><br>
<p>The courthouse sits in the middle of Courthouse Square in Graham and is surrounded by parking spaces for parallel parking. The north and south entrances to the courthouse have stairs that reach to the first floor of the courthouse, each entrance featuring six Corinthian-style columns rising from the steps external steps to the tops of the courtroom windows, with each column featuring bird control spikes. The north entrance is the only public entrance and has a handicapped-accessible ramp installed during the 2009-11 renovation. The north entrance also features the 1914 Confederate memorial. The east and west entrances of the courthouse feature faux columns, street lanterns, and steps that lead to the first floor of the courthouse for courthouse employees. The east entrance also features a handicapped-accessible entrance for access to the courthouse&#39;s elevator. The base of the courthouse is granite, while the structure of the courthouse is terracotta.</p><br>
<p>Internally, the courthouse has four floors. The basement houses offices and a small courtroom for civil proceedings. The first floor houses the offices of the Clerk of Court and features a large open hall with hand-carved dental tooth moulding, granite floors, and hand-. Along with offices and meeting rooms, the second floor is also the primary access point for the buildings main courtroom. The courtroom features theater-style seating for audience members. The judges bench is said to have been from the original courthouse. The courtroom also features balcony seating accessible from the courthouse&#39;s third floor, which also features office space and meeting rooms. The ceiling of the courtroom on the 2nd floor is silk. The Courthouse was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.</p><br>
<p>The courthouse has been renovated many times throughout its history. In 1996, a $1.2 million repair was done to the roof of the building to prevent further leakage from outside. Between August 2010 and September 2011, the courthouse underwent a $3 million renovation to repair massive water damage, prevent future water damage, improve access to cramped spaces, improve overall safety, and restore the interior of the courthouse to its 1923 appearance as much as possible. The renovated courtroom removed panels that concealed the courtroom&#39;s windows and replaced them with soundproof windows, allowing for natural light to be used to reduce energy costs. Additionally, building environmental controls were improved to reduce future damage and provide a more comfortable workspace. Originally intended to reopen in June, the reopening was delayed due to a fire that occurred on May 9, 2011. The courthouse was re-opened in a ceremony on September 12, 2011.</p><br>
<p>In order to address naming issues, March 7, 2011, the name of the Alamance County Courthouse was changed to the Alamance County Historic Courthouse.</p><br>
<h2>Other Courthouses</h2><br>
<p>In order to accommodate the growing needs of the court system without significantly affecting the current courthouse, Alamance County has added 2 courthouses over the years. The Courthouse Annex began construction in 1966 and was opened to the public in 1967, and is currently connected to the Alamance County Office Building, which began construction in 1974. The Courthouse Annex was renovated in late 2009 and early 2010 and reopened in April 2010 as the Civil Courts Building.</p><br>
<p>Due to problems with noise, building access, asbestos, and dangerous conditions, the county and the court system battled in the late 1980s and early 1990s over the renovation of the Old Courthouse and the construction of a new courthouse. Minor renovations were done to the Old Courthouse, and construction began on a new Criminal Courts Building, referred to locally as the "New Courthouse" in 1992. Construction of the modernist styled structure was completed in 1993 and the building opened to the public on December 22, 1993. In 2010, to address confusion with different courthouses in the county, the building was renamed the Alamance County Criminal Courts building. In 2017, the Criminal Courts Building was renamed the J. B. Allen, Jr. Courthouse after a former judge. The J. B. Allen building is also the site of the Alamance County War Memorial, dedicated to soldiers who died in conflicts since the founding of the county in 1849.</p><br>
<h2>Temporary Courthouses</h2><br>
<p>For the 2009-11 Renovations, the Offices of the Old Courthouse were moved to the Youth Services Building, approximately 1 block west of the Courthouse.</p><br>
<p>The Douglas County Courthouse is an historic building located at 1313 Belknap Street in Superior, Wisconsin which was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
<p>Designed by Royer and Radcliff in the Classical Revival style, it was built in 1918-1919 of Bedford limestone and brick. The building has a colossal Ionic ten-column colonnade.</p><br>
<p>At the center of the interior is a three-story light court, with balconies on massive concrete, marble-faced piers.</p><br>
<p>The listing includes a jail and sheriff&#39;s residence, which is a brick building with cut stone trim. It is connected by a second-story walkway to the courthouse.</p><br>
<p>The Babcock–Macomb House is a historical residence located at 3415 Massachusetts Avenue, NW, Washington, D.C.</p><br>
<p>Construction of the house was ordered by Kate Woodman Babcock, widow of former Representative Joseph W. Babcock of Wisconsin. Babcock had had a successful career in the lumber industry while serving two terms in the Wisconsin State Assembly. Upon taking office in the House of Representatives in 1893, Babcock was appointed to the Committee on the District of Columbia. In 1894 he was appointed as chairman. In this position, Babcock gained local popularity and substantial wealth, due to the committee&#39;s role in development of the city. Constance McLaughlin Green wrote that Babcock "cleared $400,000 in Washington real estate... simply by using advance knowledge of which sections of the city were to get funds..."</p><br>
<p>In 1911, Babcocks widow Kate purchased two lots in the newly laid out Massachusetts Heights subdivision, established when Massachusetts Avenue was extended beyond Florida Avenue. Mrs. Babcock purchased the two lots for $14,529 on October 18. The home was the first constructed in the neighborhood, which the citys planning committee hoped would attract the wealthy elite.</p><br>
<p>The architect was Arthur B. Heaton. Heaton opened his own office in Washington in 1900 at age 25. Between 1899 and 1906 he designed houses for the new Cleveland Park neighborhood. From 1908 to 1920 he served as supervising architect for the Washington National Cathedral. During this period, Heaton and his family lived in Cleveland Park, and he designed many buildings for the neighborhood. His residential designs used numerous styles, including Georgian, Colonial Revival, Spanish mission, and the Neo-Renaissance of the Babcock–Macomb House.</p><br>
<p>Mrs. Babcock never moved into the new home. In 1917 she sold it to Tucker Sands, a vice president of the National Metropolitan Bank. Sands rented the house to tenants for two years, until he sold it in 1919 to Army Colonel Augustus Canfield Macomb. The Macomb family lived in the home until 1982, when Edna Wilson Macomb, widow of Alexander Macomb, sold the property to the Republic of Cape Verde, which has utilized it as their embassy to the United States.</p><br>
<p>The C. W. Dickey House at 3030 Kalakaua Avenue in Honolulu, Hawaii, was one of the earliest residences designed by Charles William Dickey in his "Hawaiian style" after he resettled in the islands in 1925. He built it for himself and lived in it from 1926 until 1933, when he built himself a rather less humble dwelling at Makalei Place on the front slope of Diamond Head. The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.</p><br>
<p>The house is significant as an early prototype of Dickeys "Hawaiian style" architecture and for its association with one of Hawaiis most famous architects. The double-pitched hip roof with overhanging eaves became such a Dickey trademark that it is often called a "Dickey roof." Other features of the style include many windows and an enclosed lānai. He employed a similar style for the cottages he designed for the Halekulani Hotel during the same era.</p><br>
<p>This single-story house has board-and-batten siding and acid-stained decorative concrete flooring. The front entrance leads into a living room as wide as the face of the house, which opens into a dining room (with connecting kitchen) one step below the living room, and then a rear lanai behind sliding doors. One rear wing contains two bedrooms separated by a bath, and the other a pantry, a maid&#39;s quarters, and a garage (now enclosed to form another bedroom).</p><br>
<p>The Florence County Courthouse and Jail, built in 1889, is an historic complex of governmental buildings located at 501 Lake Street in Florence, Wisconsin. Designed by architect James E. Clancy of Antigo in the Romanesque style, it was built of brick with local sandstone and blue limestone trim and terra cotta roofs. The courthouse cost $13,000 while the 3-cell jail building cost $4,000.</p><br>
<p>On December 2, 1985, the complex was added to the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>The courthouse is still in use. A south addition was built in 1994. The jail has not been used as such since the 1930s. It is open to the public during the summer months.</p><br>
<p>The Dickinson County Courthouse and Jail is an historic complex of governmental buildings located at 700 South Stephenson Avenue in Iron Mountain, Michigan. On May 15, 1980, the complex was added to the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Dickinson County was the last of Michigan&#39;s counties to be organized. The clock in the courthouse tower was made by the Seth Thomas Clock Company in 1935; it was the last weight and pulley tower clock in the state. It was converted to electrical operation in the mid-1950s.</p><br>
<p>A new jail was constructed in 1975, and the old structure remained vacant and in disrepair until 1979. After a renovation, county offices moved in during 1982. A small single-story addition was constructed more recently.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Dickinson County Courthouse is a 2-1/2 story Richardsonian Romanesque structure, built of red brick and Portage Entry sandstone. It has a slate hip roof and a square brick clock tower. The front facade contains a rounded arch entryway, supported by two granite columns. Dentiled stone decorates the cornice line. The interior has been extensively remodeled.</p><br>
<p>The medieval-inspired jail was designed to complement the courthouse. The jail is a rectangular, two-story structure built of red brick and sandstone, capped with stone battlemented parapets and a tin roof. It originally contained 36 cells, along with the sheriff&#39;s quarters.</p><br>
<p>The Newcomb–Brown Estate is located at the junction of the US 44 highway and Brown Road in Pleasant Valley, New York, United States. It is a brick structure built in the 18th century just before the Revolution and modified slightly by later owners but generally intact. Its basic Georgian style shows some influences of the early Dutch settlers of the region.</p><br>
<p>At the time of its construction it was the home of Zaccheus Newcomb, a local farmer who owned much of the area of Pleasant Valley now surrounding the neighborhood. Over the 19th century, much of that original landholding was subdivided and sold off as the Brown family sold it to others, including the main house. In the early 20th century, it returned to the family again when one of his descendants bought it and converted it from working farm to country house, restoring and modifying it slightly while keeping its original integrity. In 1988 it and several outbuildings from the farming era were added to the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>Buildings and grounds</h2><br>
<p>The estate is a 33.7 acre parcel on the east side of US 44, divided into northern and southern sections by Brown Road. The area is rural residential, with newer houses built on large lots. Except for those portions of the lots that have been cleared, it remains mostly wooded. The estate lands are mostly level, but rise slightly at the north end, in keeping with the terrain&#39;s general regional slope up from the Hudson River to the Taconic Mountains.</p><br>
<p>Between the main house and the highway, on the house&#39;s west, is a small pond about one acre (4,000 m) in area said to have been created when the clay was dug to bake the bricks for the house. A two-acre (8,000 m) lawn is between the house and Brown Road, set off by one of many stone walls on the property. Around the house are many mature trees of species ranging from those common to the area like maple and shagbark hickory to more unusual ones like horse chestnut and ginkgo. Behind the house, on its north, is a large group of lilacs. The otherwise level ground rises slightly to the rear and is covered in second-growth woods. An old apple orchard is to its east. All of the outbuildings save one are to the northeast of the main house.</p><br>
<p>On the south side of the roughly east–west Brown Road, the property is mostly natural, with a hay field, woods, and a shallow pond straddling the property line. It is fed by a small stream that runs through it from northeast to southwest. In the northeast corner is the other outbuilding, a wagon shed.</p><br>
<h3>Main house</h3><br>
<p>The main house is a two-and-a-half-story rectangular brick-faced structure on a stone basement with a gambrel roof shingled in cedar shake pierced by wide brick chimneys at either end. It has a one-and-half-story kitchen wing on its east side and a flat-roofed open porch on the west. The kitchen wing is sided in wooden shingles; its gambrel roof is pierced by a wide shed dormer window.</p><br>
<p>Its six-bay south (front) facade is laid in Flemish bond; the other three sides are done in common bond. A Dutch-style paneled door almost four feet (120 cm) wide with a six-light transom is located in the center of the ground story. It is sheltered by a small wooden portico with three stone steps leading down to a short walk to the driveway.</p><br>
<p>The first-story windows are topped with splayed wooden lintels painted dark red and incised to resemble flat brick arches. At the roofline the gambrel flares outward slightly, opening up space for a block modillioned cornice.</p><br>
<p>On the west side, the iron anchors holding the roof rafters are shaped to look like the letters Z and N, for the original owner. French doors lead on both levels to the porch and its balcony, with balustrade. All doors and windows on this elevation are topped by brick segmental arches.</p><br>
<p>The east wall anchors are the more common "S" shape, and the attic windows have been bricked in. Otherwise the treatment on that side echoes its counterpart. The north elevation (rear) is likewise similar to the front except for having fewer windows. It has a similar portico and door. A rear dormer identical to the one on the front is on the kitchen wing.</p><br>
<p>Inside, the main entrance leads to an 8-foot–wide (2.4 m) central hallway, the axis of a symmetrical floor plan. The rooms on the west are a double parlor; those on the east are the dining room and library. All have most of their original trim, including baseboards, cornices, molded chair rails and diagonally oriented corner fireplaces that share a chimney with the other room on that side. Paneled doors lead between all spaces. Flooring is random-width wide pine boards, and those in the southwest parlor are clear-grained. All first-story rooms share 9 ft ceilings with the hallway. All windows have paneled shutters that recess into the 24-inch–deep (61 cm) walls with window seats below.</p><br>
<p>The front parlor fireplace, in the southwest corner, is surrounded by Bristol tiles; the others have carved wooden mantels. The dining room fireplace has a closed cupboard, and another corner has a cupboard with carved pediment, reeded pilasters and its original glass.</p><br>
<p>An open straight-run staircase rises from south to north on the east side of the central hall. It has square balusters and scroll-shaped consoles on the side of each step. Upstairs there are four bedrooms, with 8½-foot (2.6 m) ceilings and walls of the standard 18 in depth. The windows have seats but no shutters. The two front bedrooms have corner fireplaces as well. A closed staircase leads to the attic, which has a pine floor but is otherwise unfinished. The roof peak is 12 ft above the floor.</p><br>
<p>The kitchen wing has been modernized. Its first floor has a laundry, kitchen and half bathroom. Enclosed stairs at the north wind up to the second story, about 4½ inches (4+1/2 in) lower than the corresponding floor in the main house. It has two small bedrooms and bathrooms.</p><br>
<h3>Outbuildings</h3><br>
<p>Seven support buildings, all considered contributing resources to the National Register listing, remain from the days when the estate was a much larger working farm. All but one are located to the east and northeast of the main house. The largest is a frame carriage shed, now used as a barn. It has a box stall and two straight ones. A smaller barn nearby, also of two stories, is embanked into a hillside, with ground-level entrances on both levels. Between the two are the remains of the foundation of an earlier barn.</p><br>
<p>Other buildings in that area include two chicken coops, a small shed and a frame clapboard-sided toolhouse believed to have originally been a milkhouse. Across Brown Road, on the northeast corner of the southern section of the property, is the other contributing resource, a wooden wagon shed. To its south is the remains of another old building, the foundation stones of a former smokehouse.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Zaccheus Newcomb, born in Lebanon, Connecticut, in the mid-1720s, came west with his father Thomas to what is now Pleasant Valley in 1746 when the older man purchased the 3,000 acre Great Lot 8 of the Great Nine Partners Patent. Five years later, Thomas deeded the 200 acre around the current parcel to Zaccheus. He remained a farmer but was also politically active. During the Revolutionary War he served in the Continental Army, and was later a judge.</p><br>
<p>A later genealogy suggests that Newcomb&#39;s wife Sarah built the house while her husband was away at war. It is more likely that the house was built before the war, around 1770, since a Baptist Society Newcomb allowed to meet in his home was founded that year. The architect is unknown.</p><br>
<p>The basic forms of the house reflect the Newcomb familys New England origins — its Georgian plan, gambrel roof and modillioned cornice were common for large houses in the area of Connecticut the family emigrated from. But some aspects of the design, such as the flared roof, doors and generally buly massing, are more typical of houses built by Dutch settlers in the Hudson Valley. It is not known to what extent those traditions might have influenced the houses design.</p><br>
<p>Zaccheus Newcomb died in 1790, leaving portions of his landholdings, including some "Wild Lands" in the Adirondack town now known as Newcomb, and other assets to his nine children. Three more generations of Newcombs lived on the farm until 1859, when it was sold out of the family to a James Allen. He, in turn, sold it to Homer Briggs.</p><br>
<p>During this period in the late 19th century many of the extant outbuildings were erected. The original front portico, similar to the current one, was replaced by a wider Victorian porch in the 1880s. In 1912 it returned to the Newcomb family when Flora Newcomb-Brown bought it, ending its use as a working farm to make it her country house as many other wealthy residents were doing with old Dutchess County farms they bought.</p><br>
<p>She restored the original front portico, working in the newer Colonial Revival style to have a replacement of the original built. From her it went first to her brother-in-law, John Spraker, and then to his daughter, Dorothy Spraker Francke. In 1960 she subdivided the property, leaving the current parcel around the house, and sold it to James and Jane Neighbors, who modernized the interior of the kitchen wing but made very few other alterations to the house or other buildings.</p><br>
<p>Alpena County Courthouses is a historic courthouse in Alpena, Michigan. It houses the circuit court and county clerk, while district court and probate court are housed across the street in the County Annex Building.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The first courthouse in Alpena County was located at 150 East Chisholm Street, now the site of the I.O.O.F. Centennial Building. The building was destroyed by a fire on December 12, 1870, and a replacement was built in 1881 at 720 W Chisholm Street. It met a similar fate on November 22, 1932.</p><br>
<p>The current courthouse opened October 21, 1934. The building was designed by architect William H. Kuni of Detroit and built by the Henry C. Webber Construction Co. of locally produced poured Portland cement made from locally quarried limestone. According to Kuni, it was the first monolithic poured building constructed during the winter in a cold climate. Kuni also designed the Tuscola County Courthouse.</p><br>
<p>It was financed partly by local bonds and WPA grants.</p><br>
<p>The Art Deco building, dubbed "Fort Alpena" by a local writer, is embellished by architectural sculpture, including an eagle perched atop the clock on the main facade and figures of Justice and Law as well as "fascia designs show(ing) images of the county&#39;s lumbering, shipbuilding, farming, fishing and recreational industries."</p><br>
<p>On December 8, 1983, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places, item # 83003643. It is a state registered historic site.</p><br>
<p>The Alpena County Annex houses the district and probate courts. It is located at 719 Chisholm Avenue and opened in 1997.</p><br>
<p>Bethel Methodist Protestant Church, also known as Bethel Church, is a historic Methodist church and cemetery at the junction of Andrewville Road and Todds Chapel Road/Prospect Church Road in Andrewville, Kent County, Delaware. It was built in 1871, and is a one-story, three-by-four-bay, gable-roofed, Gothic-influenced frame building. It measures 30 ft in width by 40 ft deep. The interior was renovated in 1905. Adjacent to the church is the cemetery, containing only one or two gravestones.</p><br>
<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.</p><br>
<p>Byrd&#39;s African Methodist Episcopal Church is a historic African Methodist Episcopal  church on Smyrna Avenue in Clayton, Kent County, Delaware.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>According to the USA Department of Interior, National Register of Historic Places, Byrds African Methodist Episcopal Church was built on the outskirts of Clayton, Delaware in 1894. The church was named after the Rev. E. Byrd, who served as the pastor of Byrds and Mt. Friendship.</p><br>
<p>Prior to building and the establishment of Byrd&#39;s A.M.E. Church during the early 1890s, the Smyrna-Clayton area of Delaware boasted two A.M.E. churches. They were Bethel Church on the eastern outskirts of Smyrna, and Mt. Friendship Church in the countryside west of Clayton.</p><br>
<p>Mt. Friendship was called the “Home Church” by Clayton members because prior Byrds inception, all members of the black community, mostly railroad workers, walked several miles from Clayton to Mt. Friendship before the churchs construction. This group of men, women and their families walked out to Kenton Road to Mt. Friendship, rather than through Smyrna to the older and larger Bethel Church. Within a decade after the raising of Mt. Friendship in 1886, the Clayton area residents began building Byrd&#39;s Church.</p><br>
<p>Byrd&#39;s A.M.E. Church is a small Queen Anne style structure located at the eastern edge of Clayton, Delaware on a quiet street, Smyrna Avenue; its environment is the Smyrna-Clayton Road and the railroad tracks to the north, open fields to the south, and open, early residential development on either side. The church faces south on a slightly elevated parcel of land. It retains its earthen yard, trees, and considerable space on the deep lot behind its kitchen wing. The original main block is cornerstone-dated 1894.</p><br>
<p>Camden Friends Meetinghouse is a historic Quaker meeting house located on Delaware Route 10  in Camden, Kent County, Delaware. It was built in 1805, and was still in operation as a Quaker meeting house when it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.</p><br>

<p>Appoquinimink Friends Meetinghouse, also known as the Odessa Friends Meetinghouse, is a very small but historic Quaker meetinghouse on Main Street in Odessa, Delaware.

Measuring about 20 ft by 22 ft, it may be the smallest brick house of worship in the United States.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Quakers were some of the earliest settlers in the Odessa area, but the first meetinghouse was not established until 1763 when Friends in Georges Creek applied to the Kennett Monthly Meeting to form a preparative (subsidiary) meeting. They later affiliated with the Duck Creek Monthly Meeting in Smyrna, Delaware and in 1781 applied to move the meeting place to Appoquinimink Bridge (also called Cantwell&#39;s Bridge and now called Odessa).</p><br>
<p>A Quaker school, however, was established in Appoquinimink in 1735 and continued until the late 1800s. The school building was later used as a parsonage by the Zoar Methodist Episcopal Church and then demolished. The adjacent Methodist church was built in 1885 on land sold to it by the Quakers.</p><br>
<p>David Wilson built the present meetinghouse about 1785, but the building and grounds were not deeded to the Meeting until 1800. Wilson and his wife, Mary Corbit, were not married at a Quaker meeting, but rather by a minister, so they were temporarily banned or "read out of the meeting."</p><br>
<p>In 1828 the Orthodox-Hicksite schism greatly reduced the membership of the Appoquinimink Meeting. The locally prominent Corbit family and several other members began attending the Orthodox meetinghouse in Wilmington, but the Duck Creek Monthly Meeting became Hicksite and owned the property.</p><br>
<p>The Alston family, including John Hunn, continued to support the Appoquinimink Meeting. The Meeting became a station on the Underground Railroad and Hunn, along with Thomas Garrett was arrested, then severely fined, for helping fugitive slaves. The meetinghouse&#39;s basement and second</p><br>
<p>story, which has a removable panel under the eaves, may have been used to hide escaping slaves.</p><br>
<p>In the early 1870s John Alston was the only active member of the meeting. After he died in 1874, the meetinghouse deteriorated. Some of the rancor from the Orthodox-Hicksite schism may have survived however. The graves of Corbit family members were removed from the Hicksite property in 1900 and reburied in a private plot separated by a brick wall from the burial ground of the meetinghouse. This plot was given to the Wilmington Monthly Meeting in 1970.</p><br>
<p>The building was restored in 1938, opened for worship in 1939, and in 1948 an Appoquinimink congregation was formed and given title to the property, which had devolved to the State of Delaware. The meeting continues to operate on a regular basis, meeting twice a month (first and third Sundays), as a preparative meeting under the care of the Wilmington Monthly Meeting.</p><br>

<p>According to a short essay included on the back of the menu at Beckie&#39;s Cafe, one of the buildings at Union Creek, the site was a popular camping spot in the early 1900s. It lay along the wagon road between the Rogue Valley further downstream and Crater Lake and points east.
