<p>The Edward Salyer House is located on South Middletown Road in Pearl River, New York, United States. It is a wood frame house built in the 1760s.</p><br>
<p>Originally it was the main house of a farm that covered much of that neighborhood. It is one of the rare remaining Dutch Colonial frame houses in the county, and possibly the oldest house in Pearl River. It retains much of its integrity, including original interior finishes and exterior hardware, despite renovations in the 19th and 20th centuries. In 1986 it and its well, also original to the property, were listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>Buildings and grounds</h2><br>
<p>The house is located on the west side of the street, two lots south of the Gilbert Avenue (Rockland County Route 20) intersection and one quarter-mile (400 m) north of the New Jersey state line. It sits near the front, closer to the street than the other houses in the area, of its half-acre (2,000 m) lot, divided from similar residential properties to the north and south on South Middletown and the west on Kerry Court, a small cul-de-sac off Gilbert, by rows of tall, mature deciduous trees. The neighborhood is exclusively residential, mostly suburban houses built in the late 20th century, on smaller lots.</p><br>
<p>There are two other outbuildings on the property, a wellhouse and shed. The lot slopes down significantly toward the west through landscaped gardens and a footpath. A large black walnut and evergreens are planted among them.</p><br>
<h3>Exterior</h3><br>
<p>The building itself is a two-and-a-half-story five-by-five-bay structure on a fieldstone foundation 18 in thick. The slope of the underlying land exposes eight feet (8 ft) of the foundation on the west side, giving it the appearance of an extra story. It is sided in clapboard with narrow corner boards and scale-shaped shingles in the apexes of the gambrel roof, shingled in wood and pierced by corbeled brick chimneys at either end and a shed dormer window on the south.</p><br>
<p>It is oriented perpendicular to the street, with its south facade serving as the front. A wooden staircase with a slatted balustrade climbs to the main entrance, in the center of the facade. It is flanked by two six-over-six double-hung sash windows on either side with paneled wooden shutters. The roofs overhanging eave runs the length of the facade. The symmetry of the front is in contrast with the asymmetrical fenestration on the side elevations, with the first floors two windows on the east facade occupying the middle and northern bays and the upper story windows in the bays not used below them. A variety of window patterns are in use, including a rare 12-over-12 single-hung sash. Some have original wrought iron hardware.</p><br>
<p>On the west profile is a rear entrance, a paneled Dutch door added later. A one-story frame wing with steep gabled roof and picture windows projects from that side, and it has a wooden patio on its own west. The basement of the north side is mostly covered by an embankment.</p><br>
<h3>Interior</h3><br>
<p>The recessed main entrance is surrounded by wide pilasters supporting a full entablature above a three-paned transom with molded wood trim. It opens into a center hall dividing the building. In the front are a parlor and dining room, both with Federal style fireplaces with fluted pilasters and molded wood trim over brick and stone hearths. In the dining room a molded cupboard with glass doors and shelves flanks the fireplace. The rear has a bedroom, study and bathroom.</p><br>
<p>On the floors are wood planks of random widths and lengths fastened to the joists by handwrought nails. The walls are plaster over the early clay and straw insulation. The door and window surrounds are molded wood, varying in their level of decoration. A few original wrought iron thumb latches remain in the doors. Some original fabrics can be found.</p><br>
<p>An enclosed stairway leads up to the second story. There, a wider central hall separates three bedrooms and a bathroom. The floors are also random plank; the ceilings are low, about 6 feet 11 inches (83 in). Another set of stairs leads to the attic, where adzed beams and numbered, pegged roof framing are visible along with the change in chimney materials.</p><br>
<p>The basement level is divided between an unfinished half on the east and the original kitchen and common room on the west. There is evidence of a jambless fireplace in the former kitchen, and the outline of the old beehive oven on its stone wall behind the fireplace. That has its original wooden Federal mantel, supported by tapered pilasters. All door and window openings in the thick stone walls taper up as well. Modern pine wainscoting and a herringbone patterned brick floor have been added. The original storage room hosts a modern kitchen facility.</p><br>
<h3>Outbuildings</h3><br>
<p>At the southwest corner of the house is a wellhouse, a modern frame structure. It shelters an original well four feet (1.3 m) wide and 20 feet (20 ft) deep, sided in fieldstone stacked without mortar. It is complemented by a frame toolshed at the northeast corner with a gabled roof and clapboard siding.</p><br>
<p>The toolshed and wellhouse are architecturally sympathetic to the house. As they are of modern construction they are not considered contributing resources to the Register listing. The well itself dates to the property&#39;s early years as a farmhouse and is therefore a contributing structure.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Records from surveys done to establish the colonial boundary near the end of the New York-New Jersey Line War in 1769 note the house, and suggest that it was relatively new. Contemporary records related to the Kakiat Patent, a colonial land grant that covered not only portions of what is today Rockland County but also Bergen County, New Jersey, to the south, also support that assumption, leading to the estimated construction date of 1765. Edward Salyer Sr., believed to have built it and lived there, bought the 30 acre in the area as part of the patent&#39;s Great Lot 21.</p><br>
<p>The house has many features of the vernacular architecture of Dutch settlers and their descendants in the region. Among these are the gambrel roof with full-width overhanging eave, restrained decor and center hall floor plan. Less common are the Dutch door with original hardware and single-hung sash window. The house is also one of the few surviving frame houses from that era; most of its contemporaries that remain are built of dressed sandstone.</p><br>
<p>Salyer later acquired an additional 72 acre from John Suffern, founder of the nearby village that bears his name. Edward Salyer died April 10, 1819- aged 59 years and 8 months. The year of his wifes death is not known, but at some point Edward Salyer Jr. inherited the land. At some point, the property lost 12 acre, since at the younger mans sale of the property in 1818 the total holding is recorded at 90 acre.</p><br>
<p>Tunis Cooper, the new owner, in turn sold it to Cornelius Demarest in 1837. By this point the Federal style interior detailing had probably been added. The Demarests added some Greek Revival elements of their own, such as the door and window surrounds, around 1840, in a similar attempt to bring the house in keeping with contemporary trends. They sold it themselves in 1851.</p><br>
<p>From then on, it passed through a series of owners for the rest of the 19th century. At one point full length columns were added to front to create a veranda. No changes were made to the interior layout.</p><br>
<p>In 1960 the Conques family acquired the home. They restored its original appearance by removing the columns. Inside they upgraded and modernized the kitchen. In 1980 they built the wellhouse and toolshed. There have been no other significant changes to the property since then.</p><br>
<p>The Andrew Johnson Building is a high-rise building in downtown Knoxville, Tennessee. Completed in 1929 as the Andrew Johnson Hotel,</p><br>
<p>Named for President Andrew Johnson, the Andrew Johnson Hotel was Knoxville&#39;s premier hotel from the time of its completion through the 1960s. In its early years, the hotel was popular with foreign dignitaries visiting Knoxville to inquire about the newly created Tennessee Valley Authority, as well as with tourists en route to the newly created Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The studios of WNOX, which played a role in the early development of country music, were located in the Andrew Johnson in the late 1930s, and musicians such as Roy Acuff became regional stars broadcasting from the building.</p><br>
<p>In the 1980s, it was converted to office space by Knox County. In 1980, the Andrew Johnson Building was added to the National Register of Historic Places. In 2017, BNA Associates announced plans to convert it back to a hotel. The plans were approved in 2020. As of 2024, work on the hotel, set to be named Hotel Americana, has not yet begun.</p><br>
<h2>Design</h2><br>
<p>The Andrew Johnson Building stands at the southwest corner of Gay Streets 900-block, and shares a central courtyard with the adjacent Riverview Tower. The buildings eighteen stories consist of fifteen floors, a mezzanine, and a two-story penthouse. The building is rectangular in shape, with a recess running up the middle of the west facade. The ground floor extends out beyond the rest of the building to provide a base for the unique second story, which includes an open-air pavilion. While most of the buildings exterior consists of brick, the ground floors Gay Street facade is sheathed in concrete cast to appear as rusticated stone.</p><br>
<p>The second story of the Andrew Johnson was designed as the main story, and originally contained the hotels lobby and front desk, a ballroom, and a pavilion. The pavilion consists of a five-bay arcade, with arches flanked by Ionic pilasters. Each side of the pavilion was originally flanked by terraces and balustrades, which were replaced when the ballroom was expanded in the 1960s. The second story is higher than the buildings other stories to accommodate a mezzanine, which overlooks the lobby.</p><br>
<p>Most of the windows for floors four through fifteen are simple, rectangular windows, with the exception of the fourteenth-floor windows, which are topped by small arched pediments. Atop the building is the penthouse, which is seven bays wide, and is adorned with brick Ionic pilasters. The second story of the penthouse originally had oval windows, but these have been replaced with simple rectangular windows. From the mid-1930s until the late-1970s, a large neon sign reading "Hotel Andrew Johnson" stood atop the building.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<h3>Hotel</h3><br>
<p>The Adair Corporation of Atlanta began planning a large hotel (initially named the "Tennessee Terrace") at the corner of Gay and Hill as early as 1918, but lack of financing continuously stalled the project. The hotel was designed by Baumann & Baumann, an architectural firm responsible for a number of prominent buildings and houses in the Knoxville area, including the Knoxville Post Office on Main and the Church of the Immaculate Conception on Vine. By 1927, only seven stories of the hotel had been completed, and construction was briefly halted because of financial issues. J. Basil Ramsey, president of the Holston Union Bank, managed to raise the necessary funds, however, and the hotel was completed shortly afterward.</p><br>
<p>Business at the Andrew Johnson received a boost with the creation of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park in 1932 and the formation of the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) in 1933. The hotel was located a few blocks from USA Route 441, which connects Knoxville to the national parks main entrance. TVAs headquarters, also located a few blocks from the hotel, drew a steady stream of curious foreign diplomats and activists to Knoxville during the 1930s and 1940s, among them French existentialist Jean-Paul Sartre, who stayed at the hotel in 1945. The rise of automobile travel in the late 1920s brought large numbers of travellers to Knoxville via the Dixie Highway, with many preferring the Andrew Johnson over the rough motels along the highway&#39;s Kingston Pike stretch.</p><br>
<p>For most of its early history, the Andrew Johnson was the choice hotel for celebrities travelling through Knoxville. During a stay at the Andrew Johnson in 1936 (the year before her disappearance), aviator Amelia Earhart remarked to a reporter that she didnt expect to live to old age. Swiss travel writer Annemarie Schwarzenbach probably stayed at the hotel while writing her story, "Auf der Schattenseite von Knoxville" ("The Shadow Side of Knoxville"). In February 1943, Russian pianist Sergei Rachmaninoff stayed at the Andrew Johnson after giving the last recital of his career at the nearby University of Tennessees Alumni Gymnasium.</p><br>
<p>Perhaps the most well-known stay at the Andrew Johnson Hotel was that of country music singer Hank Williams, who spent the last night of his life at the hotel, and whose death is the source of numerous stories and local legends in Knoxville. Williams and his driver, Charles Carr, checked into the hotel on the evening of December 31, 1952. At some point during the night, Williams grew ill and began convulsing, and a doctor called to the hotel gave Williams injections of Vitamin B12 and morphine. At 10:45 P.M., Williams and Carr checked out and headed north for Canton, Ohio, where Williams was scheduled to perform the next day. By the time car reached Oak Hill, West Virginia, around dawn of the following morning, however, Williams had died.</p><br>
<p>Throughout much of the 1930s, radio station WNOX broadcast from the Andrew Johnsons 17th floor. The stations popular show, Mid-Day Merry-Go-Round, had featured performers such as Roy Acuff and Homer and Jethro, and listeners in downtown Knoxville frequented the hotel to see the shows broadcasts. By the late 1930s, the station was drawing some 1,000 fans to the station each day, flooding the hotels elevators. After guests began to complain, the hotel&#39;s management asked the station to move.</p><br>
<p>In the 1940s, R. J. Reynolds, Jr. (1906&ndash;1964), the son of the tobacco magnate, purchased the Andrew Johnson. After his death, his widow maintained ownership until 1973. By this time, Knoxvilles Hyatt Regency (now the Knoxville Marriott) had usurped the Andrew Johnson as the citys premier hotel, and the Andrew Johnson began to decline. The hotel changed owners several times throughout the 1970s, during which time it sometimes served to handle overflow student housing from the nearby University of Tennessee. In the 1980s, the building was renovated as an office building by the Aetna Casualty & Surety Company.</p><br>
<h3>Offices</h3><br>
<p>The Andrew Johnson Building had 140,000 ft&sup2; of office space and housed offices for Knox County for many years. The primary occupant was Knox County Schools, the offices of which utilized fourteen of the buildings eighteen floors. The building also housed the Finance, Property Development, and Telecommunications offices of the countys Public Building Authority, human resource offices for the Knox County Sheriffs Department, and the countys Probation and Pre-Trial services.</p><br>
<h3>Conversion back to hotel</h3><br>
<p>In 2017, BNA Associates announced plans to convert the structure back to a hotel. The plans were approved in 2020. By 2022, the county offices had been entirely vacated in preparation for the extensive renovations. As of 2024, work on the hotel, set to be named Hotel Americana, has not yet begun.</p><br>
<p>Onderdonk House, also known as Haring House and Arie Smith-Onderdonk House, was a historic home located at Piermont in Rockland County, New York. It was built over three periods of construction: about 1737, about 1810, and about 1867. It consisted of a -story gable-roofed main block and a -story wing, both of sandstone construction. Also on the property was a -story frame dwelling built about 1840.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2006.</p><br>
<p>It was demolished on May 22, 2013.</p><br>
<p>According to local residents, the new owners preserved the stone and various other portions of the historical structure, and planned to rebuild the exterior in the old footprint and as close to the historical facade as possible. In fact, the new home is a similar design, but has a larger footprint than the original and the ceilings of both floors were raised so that the entire structure is much larger.</p><br>
<p>Ross-Hand Mansion is a historic home located at South Nyack in Rockland County, New York. The land was acquired from the Tallman family in 1856 by Azariah Ross . Ross was a veteran of the War of 1812 and a successful New York City property developer. He was a longtime resident of Rockland County, having moved there in about 1820. The design of the Mansion is closely based on a design for A Country House in the Pointed Style from the Architecture of Country Houses: including designs for cottages, farm-houses, and villas, with remarks on interiors, furniture, and the best modes of warming and ventilating by the great landscape designer and architect Andrew Jackson Downing. The three-story brick mansion with Gothic Revival style features was completed in 1859. It features ornamental bargeboards and a steeply pitched gable roof.</p><br>
<p>In the 1870s to try to stave off financial uncertainty, Ross converted his house into a hotel, the Ross Mansion. (In the application packet to have the house considered for inclusion on the National Register of Historic Places, one source incorrectly attributes another name to the house during its years as a hotel.) 1883, after Ross death, the home was purchased at public auction by Mary Elizabeth Haddock Hand. Marys husband, William Henry Hand, specialized in decorative woodwork and, with their sons William, Roger and Walter, he completed extensive renovations on the property and installed elements, including a marble fireplace, from the Alexander Turney Stewart Mansion on Fifth Avenue in Manhattan that had lately been demolished. They converted the rear part of the property into a working farm. Hands grandson, also named William Henry Hand, was an assistant to an elderly Thomas Edison. However, strong ethical differences over Edisons business practices led Hand to set out on his own and by 1930 he had established the Hand Laboratory for Electro-Chemical Research and Development in a barn on the grounds of his family&#39;s South Nyack mansion. It was there where, over the next thirty years, Hand and his small team developed a long-life battery that was used by emergency services, the military, public works vehicles, school buses and in boats.</p><br>
<p>William Henry Hand lived at the house with his brother Raymond, sister Dorothy and her daughter Adelma. When William died in 1978, Dorothy and Adelma and Adelma&#39;s children were the remaining occupants. In the early 1990s when Adelma wanted to list the property for sale, the analysis of soil samples found dangerous levels of lead contamination: over three decades of battery development, it appears that battery acid, lead and other experimental material was dumped on the grounds of the mansion. The property was deemed a risk to human health and placed as a Class 2 site on the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation Division of Hazardous Waste Remediation register of Inactive Hazardous Waste Sites, #344040. Adelma undertook a private remediation on her property. The NYS DEC performed additional soil testing of neighbouring properties and implemented their full remediation with state funds. The area was finally considered safe and removed from the NYS DEC register in 1998.</p><br>
<p>The property was sold in 1998, then again in 2014 and, most recently, in 2019.</p><br>
<p>Also on the property is a 19th-century barn and stable with a gymnasium (in the former battery laboratory) and a small brick smokehouse.</p><br>
<p>The Ross-Hand Mansion was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<p>Fraser-Hoyer House is a historic home located at West Haverstraw in Rockland County, New York. It was built about 1812 and is a two-story, five-bay, rectangular frame dwelling with a hipped roof and stone foundation. It features Federal style details.</p><br>
<p>The house of William Smith had been built previously on this site in 1770.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.</p><br>
<p>Henry M. Peck House was a historic home located at West Haverstraw in Rockland County, New York. It was built about 1865 and is a large two-story, wood-frame dwelling on a stone foundation. It featured an S-curved mansard roof sheathed in slate in the Second Empire style. It also had a central projecting entrance / tower bay and two-story gable-roofed kitchen / servant wing.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000.</p><br>
<p>It was destroyed by fire on July 3, 2002.</p><br>
<p>Precious Blood Catholic Church is a Roman Catholic parish in Chickasaw, Ohio, United States. Erected in 1903 and still an active parish, the church historically owned two buildings constructed in its early years that have been designated as historic sites.</p><br>
<h2>Early parish history</h2><br>
<p>Chickasaws first Catholics attended Mass at St. Sebastians Church, nearly 2 mi to the northwest. In 1897, the Chickasaw members erected a small church in their village for use as a chapel of ease during the week.), and parishioners were faced with the decision of rebuilding the church. Ultimately, the parish was split into two parts: the remnant members of St. Sebastians rebuilt their church, while the chapel in Chickasaw became the parish church for the newly formed Church of the Precious Blood. Fifty-eight families composed the parishs charter membership.</p><br>
<p>The parishioners quickly began to expand their facilities. Before the end of 1903, the chapel had been expanded, and the following year saw the construction of a brick rectory at a cost of about $4,000. Membership grew rapidly; by 1907, the congregation had grown from thirty-eight families to seventy. located across the street from its rectory.</p><br>
<p>Precious Blood Church is one of the youngest Catholic parishes in Mercer County; only Our Lady of Guadalupe Church in Montezuma and St. Theresa of the Infant Jesus Church in Rockford are newer; Our Lady parish was only a mission when Precious Blood was established, and St. Theresa parish was created in 1936.</p><br>
<h2>Buildings</h2><br>
<h3>Church</h3><br>
<p>The first parish church building, originally a parish hall and then the chapel of ease, was built on a stone foundation in 1894 and 1895. Soon after the parish was established in 1903, a wooden addition was built onto the church; the reworked building was painted and new windows installed by early July of that year. As the parish&#39;s membership grew after World War II, the old building was strained to hold the increased number of worshippers, and plans were laid for a replacement structure. Ground was broken for the new building in late 1965, and the structure was dedicated on February 23, 1967. This church is a brick structure built in the shape of a cross and equipped with a basement; its sanctuary has room for over four hundred worshippers.</p><br>
<h3>School</h3><br>
<p>The Precious Blood School is a two-story brick structure that is supported by a foundation of ashlar. Built in the Italianate style by the DeCurtins brothers, it features a central square bell tower that rises above the rest of the building. Individuals enter the building through double doors that are topped by an elliptical fanlight.</p><br>
<p>Late in the 1950s, the Ohio General Assembly enacted a law that provided for free high school education for all Ohio students. Because of this law, Chickasaw&#39;s public school system merged with that of the surrounding Marion Township, and the parish school closed. The parish has since sold the building; it is owned by a local organization of the Veterans of Foreign Wars.</p><br>
<h3>Rectory</h3><br>
<p>Like the school, the Precious Blood Rectory is a square, two-story brick structure built on an ashlar foundation. Featuring more of a vernacular style of architecture, the house is topped with a hip roof that is pierced by dormer windows on all four sides. Its front door is surrounded by a veranda built with wooden columns and surrounded with a railing. Many parishes in the region built rectories in the early twentieth century in response to a directive issued by the Archdiocese of Cincinnati, which provided that each parish should house its own pastor. The Chickasaw rectory is typical of these structures, which predominantly are two-story rectangles with hip roofs and verandas. It is believed that this common design was influenced by the style made popular by the Sears Roebuck catalogue.</p><br>
<h2>Recent history</h2><br>
<h3>Historic recognition</h3><br>
<p>In 1979, the rectory and the former school were listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Deemed historic because of their well-preserved architecture and their contributions to Ohio&#39;s history, they were among over thirty different places in far western Ohio related to the Society of the Precious Blood that were listed on the National Register together. Although most of these buildings were churches, several rectories and schools were included as well. The tall, Gothic Revival towers featured by many of these churches have become the namesake for this region of western Ohio, which is nicknamed the "Land of the Cross-Tipped Churches."</p><br>
<h3>Present status</h3><br>
<p>Today, Precious Blood is an active parish of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati. It is clustered with four other Marion Township parishes – St. John the Baptist in Maria Stein, Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Cassella, St. Rose in St. Rose, and St. Sebastian in Sebastian – to form the Marion Catholic Community. Two priests serve the cluster as pastors: Eugene Schnipke and Tom Brenberger. The entire cluster is part of the St. Marys Deanery.</p><br>
<p>The Ebenezer Maxwell House, operated today as the Ebenezer Maxwell Mansion, is an historic house located in the West Germantown neighborhood of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.</p><br>
<h2>History and architectural features</h2><br>
<p>The house was built for $10,000 in 1859 by Ebenezer Maxwell (1827–1870), a wealthy cloth merchant.</p><br>
<p>The masonry building is two-and-a-half stories, with a three-story tower. The main roof is mansard, with slate covering. The house features three porches and four stone chimneys. The original architecture has been attributed variously to Joseph C. Hoxie (1814–1870) and Samuel Sloan.</p><br>
<p>In 1965, the house was restored by the Germantown Historical Society. In 1970, a porch was removed, and in 1979–1980, a cast-iron sidewalk was moved from 1907 N. 7th St. and installed in the rear porch of the house.</p><br>
<p>The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1971; it is a contributing property of the Tulpehocken Station Historic District.</p><br>
<h2>House museum</h2><br>
<p>The house has been renovated to its Victorian-era appearance. It is operated, along with its gardens, as a house museum.</p><br>
<p>The Preston Hall in Waitsburg, Washington is a three-story Classical Revival building that was built as a school building in 1913. It was designed by Walla Walla architects Osterman & Siebert.</p><br>
<p>The building cost $30,000 and equipping it cost another $5,000. It was funded by William G. Preston, a successful businessman who was Waitsburg&#39;s first mayor.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the USA National Register of Historic Places in 1993.</p><br>
<p>The Humboldt County Courthouse is located in Dakota City, Iowa, United States, and dates from 1939. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2003 as a part of the PWA-Era County Courthouses of IA Multiple Properties Submission. The courthouse is the second building the county has used for court functions and county administration.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Dakota City was established as the county seat in 1857, but a courthouse was not built until 1873. The two-story building was constructed for $5,000. Plans to build a new courthouse were defeated in 1923 when voters suspected plans to move the county seat to neighboring Humboldt.</p><br>
<p>Plans for the current courthouse were approved in 1936. The Des Moines architectural firm of Dougher, Rich & Woodburn were retained to design the building. The county applied to the Public Works Administration, or PWA, to assist with the funding. The grant was approved in 1937. The contract to build the building was given to Holtze Construction Co. of Sioux City, Iowa. The cornerstone was laid on April 30, 1938, and the new building was dedicated on February 25, 1939. The courthouse was built for $185,000. Iowa Supreme Court Justice Richard Mitchell delivered the main address at an open house.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The courthouse is a rectangular structure that measures 105 by. The architectural style of the building is known as Depression Modern or PWA Moderne. The building features a symmetrical façade. Two lower sections were designed to flank the main block, but were never built. The exterior is composed of buff-colored brick and Bedford limestone trim. It is three stories tall and built on a raised basement. On the interior, the central corridors extend the length of the building, with the county offices opening onto the corridors. The building features multi-colored terrazzo floors, marble wainscoting and acoustic tiles. The courtroom was originally decorated in dark wood tones and Art Deco ornamentation.</p><br>
<p>The building is located on the courthouse square immediately west of the central business district and just to the east of Humboldt. The previous courthouse was also located here. The square itself is a contributing site on the courthouse&#39;s nomination to the National Register of Historic Places, and the original flagpole in front of the building is a contributing object.</p><br>
<p>The Humboldt County Courthouse is a courthouse in Winnemucca, Nevada, the county seat of Humboldt County, Nevada, which was completed in 1921. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on August 19, 1983.</p><br>
<p>It was designed in Classical Revival style by architect Fredrick J. De Longchamps. It has a monumental pedimented portico with Corinthian columns, and it has an entablature which runs all the way around the building.</p><br>
<p>The building was deemed "significant to the city of Winnemucca and Humboldt County as an outstanding example among the numerous public buildings designed by Frederick J. DeLongchamps, Nevada&#39;s most notable historical architect."</p><br>
<p>The Corydon Brown House is a house in Dakota City, Iowa, United States. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on November 14, 1978. Corydon Brown, the former owner of the house, was a miller, and the house was a social hub for many years.</p><br>
<h2>Early Days of the House</h2><br>
<p>Corydon Brown, a member of a well-to-do family in Syracuse, New York, decided to move to Dakota City, Iowa in the 1860s. Browns wife did not want to leave the comforts of the city for the hard prairie living that was guaranteed in Iowa. Brown, without his wife, took a train to Dubuque, Iowa, a stagecoach to Fort Dodge, Iowa, and followed a Native American horse trail north to Dakota City. When Brown reached Dakota City, he found men living in log cabins and caves near the Des Moines River. Brown purchased over 600 acres of prairie, and began to build a home using area clay for bricks and limestone. Browns wife said she would move to Iowa only when she could move into a house of comparable quality, and after eleven years, she followed her husband to the prairie.</p><br>
<h2>The Browns move on</h2><br>
<p>Corydon and his wife lived in the house for eleven years until following one of their five children to Des Moines, Iowa. As tradition dictated, the eldest son took over the property. However, he did not want to live on a farm, so the property was passed to the second-eldest son. The property was sold to another family, and was later converted to apartments. A buyer purchased the farmland and apartments, but did not use the house. The formerly stately home was used as a dumping ground by neighbors.</p><br>
<h2>Donation</h2><br>
<p>The grounds were donated to the Humboldt County Historical Association. It was renovated, and many other historical buildings have been moved to the site, now named the Humboldt County Mill Farm Historical Museum.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The Corydon Brown House is vernacular form of Italianate residential architecture. The two-story brick structure measures 30 by. The bricks for the house were manufactured on site. The house features a bracketed cornice on the front and side elevations, and brick quoining on the corners, and two porches with flat roofs and narrow wooden posts.</p><br>
<p>The North Main Street School is located on that street  in Spring Valley, New York, United States. It is a brick Colonial Revival building erected in the early 20th century in response to a rapidly increasing school population. Several times since then, it has been expanded. It remained in active use until the 1970s.</p><br>
<p>It is an intact example of one of the early modern schools in the region. A proposal to demolish it in the mid-1980s met with widespread public opposition, and it has since been reused as a satellite campus of Rockland Community College. In 2008 it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>Building</h2><br>
<p>The school is located on a 2.5 acre lot on the west side of North Main a half-mile (1 km) north of downtown Spring Valley, at the southwest corner with Linden Avenue and opposite Ewing Avenue. The area is heavily developed, with most of the nearby properties along North Main being similarly large commercial or institutional buildings such as the Salvation Army building to the south and the large strip mall to the northeast. To the north and west, along Linden and South Orchard Street respectively, there are houses.</p><br>
<p>Along the east (front) side of the building is a broad lawn with mature trees and a sidewalk. Parking lots fill out the property on the south and west. Sidewalks line North Main and Linden.</p><br>
<h3>Exterior</h3><br>
<p>The building itself is a two-story square-shaped brick building with an enclosed courtyard in the middle. The main block, oriented north-south along North Main, has a side-gabled roof shingled in asphalt, pierced by engaged brick chimneys at the ends and aluminum air handlers in the middle. A central pavilion projects slightly from the facade. Similarly treated wings project to the west from its north and south ends. A single-story flat-roofed west wing forms the southwest corner of the courtyard.</p><br>
<p>The brick is generally laid in Flemish bond. Quoins five courses high accentuate the outer corners. Stacked bond and double rowlocks accentuate the window openings on the first and second stories, with the bricks between the window spans slightly recessed. The smaller exposed basement windows have brick lintels and concrete sills.</p><br>
<p>Stone is used for the water table, except on the chimneys where it is replaced by stacked brick, and the sills on the upper windows. A cornerstone at the northeast reads "1916". The window strips themselves, trimmed in wood, are units of five tall four-over-four double-hing sash windows on the upper two stories and shorter two-over-two at the basement. The northernmost window unit on the basement has been bricked in.</p><br>
<p>The pavilion is flanked by identical entrance porticos. The entrances themselves have cast stone surrounds with Tuscan columns and open pediments with partial returns. Concrete steps with cast iron railings lead up to a pair of double glazed doors topped by a leaded glass fanlight. Fenestration above the entrances consists of tripartite windows o two-over-two flanked by one-over-one, with narrow one-over-one in the space between those windows and the pavilion corners in order to illuminate an interior stairwell. Brick between the stories is in a herringbone pattern.</p><br>
<p>The pavilion is topped by a pediment above the molded raking cornice which marks the roofline. It has an oculus with rowlocks and keystones in the middle. Below it are window strips similar to the large ones on either side. A balcony supported by brackets with wrought iron balustrade decorated with the script letters "S" and "V" projects from the first story.</p><br>
<p>Other than small three-over-three windows flanking the chimneys at the basement level, there are no windows on either north or south elevation. The rear of the main block is now one of the courtyard walls. It is now bowed, with a shed roof projecting from the first story.</p><br>
<p>The two wings are similar to the main block in materials, decoration and fenestration. Their rear elevations, now facing onto the courtyard, have paired and single two-over-two windows shorter at the basement. An engaged elevator tower rises from the north wing&#39;s rear at the northwest corner of the courtyard. It is constructed of masonry block painted to match the brick.</p><br>
<p>On the west elevation of the west wing are Palladian windows with fluted pilasters dividing the taller windows from the shorter ones. Its entrance, on the small north arm, has a glass door with a curved broken pediment and sidelight. The roof parapet is topped by brown stone coping.</p><br>
<h3>Interior</h3><br>
<p>Much of the interiors finishes are original. Some changes have been made to the layout with the addition of the other wings, or to create a library through the removal of partitions on the first floor of the main block. The hallways have linoleum floors and dark red brick wainscoting to a height of five feet (5 ft). Above them are plaster walls. The basement kitchen has its original ceramic tile walls and stainless steel trim. A commemorative plaque is located in the north corridor of that wing with the names of the school board, staff, architects and contractor from that wings construction. The rooms combined into a library feature crown molding and a fireplace in an alcove with a frieze depicting geese. A wooden mantle with decorative molding and modillions spans the fireplace and flanks the recessed bookshelves.</p><br>
<p>The Palladian windows light the gym, also used for assemblies, with its original hardwood floor. The stage has its original red velvet curtain, with elaborate moldings on the sides. It is topped with a molded broken pediment decorated with grillwork and urn-shaped finials.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Following decades of growth after the New York and Erie Railroad was opened through the area in 1841, Spring Valley was incorporated as a village in 1902. By then it was the second-most populous place in the county. Growth continued, and by 1915 the local schools were overcrowded to the point that students were taking classes in the local firehouse.</p><br>
<p>A special meeting was held late that year to resolve the situation. It ended with a vote to create an eight-room grammar school on the north side of the village. Almost one-tenth of the estimated $35,000 ($ in contemporary dollars.) cost went to acquiring the land. Architect Ernest Sibley of New Jersey was commissioned to design the building, and the present main block was opened a year later. Depending on the schedule, its four classrooms housed either kindergarten through fourth grade or four kindergarten and first grade classes.</p><br>
<p>Two purchases of adjoining parcels from the original landowners made it possible for the school district to expand the school in 1930 with eight new classrooms, the auditorium and cafeteria in the north wing. Tooker & Marsh of New York City were the architects this time, producing a structure compatible with the main block. The south wing came almost three decades later, after Spring Valley&#39;s schools, once again facing an influx of students with the suburbanization of the area after construction of the Tappan Zee Bridge and the post–World War II baby boom, were consolidated into the Ramapo Central School District No. 2 in 1952. Schofield & Cogan designed the south wing, which opened in 1957, and more land was purchased to accommodate future expansions, if necessary.</p><br>
<p>Enrollment peaked in 1971, and what was now the East Ramapo Central School District sold the building to the county six years later for use by Rockland Community College. It was renamed the Spring Valley Learning Center. In 1986, the county legislature recommended that the building, called a "white elephant" with little usable space by one college administrator, be demolished and replaced with a newer, smaller building. Public outcry instead led the county to remodel it at a cost of $1.9 million, and it reopened in 1993 with a new heating system and without the asbestos in its walls and ceilings.</p><br>
<p>Torne Brook Farm is a historic home and farm complex located at Ramapo in Rockland County, New York. The complex consists of the mansion built about 1872 in the High Victorian Gothic style, eight contributing and related outbuildings, and one contributing structure. The main block of the mansion is a 2-story wood-frame dwelling on a cut-stone foundation. It features a mansard roof. Also on the property are a large -story frame barn, frame carriage house, caretaker&#39;s cottage, chicken coops, and a kennel.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.</p><br>
<p>The Sheldon Inn was a two-story apartment building located at 44134 Michigan Avenue, in Sheldon Corners in Canton Township, Michigan. It was built in 1825, and previously used as a single-family home and a travelers&#39; inn. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000. It was demolished in 2021.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Sheldon Inn was built by Timothy and Rachel Sheldon. The couple moved from Monroe County, New York, with all their possessions in a wagon. They had intended to settle further to the west, but when they camped for the night on the Chicago Road, two days from Detroit, they were impressed with the surrounding area and decided to settle there in Canton Township. On June 6, 1825, the couple purchased 160 acre near their overnight camping spot, including the property on which this building now sits. They were the third landowners in Sheldon Township, filing their claim only a week after the first two.</p><br>
<p>The Sheldons built a Greek Revival home on their land, and the building almost immediately became an inn, serving the influx of travellers and settlers spreading westward from Detroit. The Sheldons farmed the surrounding land, and soon the hamlet of Sheldon Corners grew around the inn.</p><br>
<p>Be it enacted by the Legislative Council of the Territory of Michigan, That there shall be a territorial road laid out and established commencing in the Chicago Road, at or near the Inn of Timothy S. Sheldon, in the township of Plymouth, in the county of Wayne, thence west on the most direct and eligible route, through the village of Ann Arbor, by Samuel Clements&#39; to Grand River, where the St. Joseph Trail crosses the same, and also through the Coghwagiac and Grand praries, thence westerly on the most eligible route to, or near the Paw Paw, to the mouth of the St. Joseph River of Lake Michigan...</p><br>
<p>In 1830, Timothy Sheldon became postmaster of the area&#39;s post office, and the next year, Rachel Sheldon purchased an additional 80 acre adjacent to this property. The hamlet eventually boasted a log schoolhouse, two general stores, two churches, a cemetery, a cobbler and three blacksmiths.</p><br>
<p>The Sheldons added a one-story wing to the house in the 1830s for an unmarried sister.</p><br>
<p>The former Sheldon Inn was turned into a two-unit apartment building.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Sheldon Inn was a two-story, side-gable Greek Revival house located on a 1/4 acre lot, and sitting a few feet behind what was once its original location. The house had been altered since its construction, but still exhibited the Greek Revival cornice return detail on the side gable. It had an 1830s one-story addition, and a porch running the width of the house that was added in the 1930s. Two small additions were located in the rear.</p><br>
<p>John A. DeBaun Mill is a historic grist mill located at Tallman in Rockland County, New York. It was built about 1845 and is a two-story, four by two bay, heavy timber frame, clapboard sheathed main block on a rubble stone foundation. The main block is flanked by large shed roofed one story wings. The property includes the mill building, a portion of the mill stream, and the site of the mill pond. It regularly functioned as a mill until 1906.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1993.</p><br>
<p>Upper Nyack Firehouse, built for the Empire Hook & Ladder Company, No. 1, is a historic fire station located at Upper Nyack in Rockland County, New York, United States. It was completed in July 1887 and is a two-story brick structure in the Queen Anne style. It features a corner bell tower and center gable above the main engine door.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982. It is located in the Van Houten&#39;s Landing Historic District.</p><br>
<p>Mount Moor African-American Cemetery, also known as Mount Moor Cemetery, is a historic African American cemetery located at Palisades Center, West Nyack in Rockland County, New York. It was established in 1849 and contains approximately 90 known graves including veterans of the Civil War, Spanish-American War and World War I. Among the notable burials are Lafayette Logan, a Buffalo Soldier who fought with the 54th Massachusetts Infantry Regiment and several members of the 26th United States Colored Infantry Regiment.</p><br>
<p>According to the cemetery&#39;s records, Mount Moor dates to July 7, 1849 when James and Jane Benson deeded the land to William H. Moore, Stephen Samuels, and Issac Williams who were affiliated with what was known as the “Burying Ground for Colored People.” It expanded to incorporate a southern section in 1855 and was officially dedicated on May 1, 1965. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1994 and restored in 2021. It is now surrounded by the Palisades Center shopping mall and its parking lots.</p><br>
<p>The Clarksville Elementary School in Clarksville, New York, also known as Clarksville Grade School, is a Modern Movement-style building built in 1949. The design by Henry L. Blatner. Harry Blatner was an architectural success that was featured in nationwide publications and led to much change in how schools were designed. The application of bilateral lighting was one innovation. The school was closed after the 2010–11 school year. It is currently home to the Albany County Sheriff&#39;s Uniform Patrol Division.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the USA National Register of Historic Places in 2008.</p><br>
<p>Wantagh Railroad Complex , is a collection of old buildings in Wantagh, New York. It consists of the 1885-built Wantagh Railroad Station before it was moved from its original location in 1966, when the Babylon Branch was being elevated throughout the mid-20th century. The station itself was a replacement for original South Side Railroad of Long Island station built in 1867. It also includes a diamond-shaped pre-crossbuck railroad crossing sign, and an old grade crossing gate.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Throughout the mid-20th century, the Long Island Rail Road was reconstructing the Atlantic and Babylon Branches in Queens, Nassau, and Western Suffolk Counties, which required elevating the lines and rebuilding new stations. In addition, since the mid-1950s Victorian-era stations throughout the system were being torn down and replaced either with modern ones, such as Douglaston station, or sheltered shacks like the controversial Amagansett station. Fearing that Wantagh Station would face the same fate, the Wantagh Preservation Society was established in 1965 for the purpose of maintaining the station in its existing condition and location. Though they failed to keep it along the tracks, the station was still preserved. It was moved a few blocks north to the site of an old neighborhood amusement park in 1966 and restored through 1969. In 1972, the LIRR donated the 1912-built parlor car called "The Jamaica" to the museum, which contained a solarium, cooking facilities and an ice-cooled air conditioning system. Across from the station is a 1907-built post office shack that served as Wantagh&#39;s official post office until the mid-1920s. In 1982, the station was opened to the public as a museum, and was added to the National Register of Historic Places on June 30, 1983.</p><br>
<p>The Jackson Branch Bridge No. 15, also known as the Tecumseh Railroad Bridge due to its close proximity to the city of Tecumseh, is a historic railway deck truss bridge that spans the River Raisin in rural Raisin Charter Township in Lenawee County, Michigan. The bridge was added to the National Register of Historic Places on December 4, 2001.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Palmyra and Jacksonburgh Railroad was organized in the 1830s as a branch of the Erie and Kalamazoo Railroad. Both railroads failed in the late 1830s, and the lines were leased to the Michigan Southern Railway (later the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern Railway). In about 1890, the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern contracted the Union Bridge Company of Athens, Pennsylvania to fabricate trusses for a bridge on the original Erie & Kalamazoo line. In 1896, they reused these trusses, along with new steel plate girder spans were fabricated by the Detroit Bridge & Iron Works and the Toledo Bridge Company to fabricate this bridge.</p><br>
<p>The Lake Shore and Michigan Southern Railway was later absorbed into other railroads, and in 1982 Conrail abandoned the branch on which this bridge sits. The Southern Michigan Railroad Society purchased the Jackson Branch and the bridge in 1985, and operates historic trains on the bridge.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The 254-foot-10½-inch-long (77.7 m) four-span bridge carries a single track over the River Raisin. The railway sits 40 ft above the river&#39;s surface. The closest road to the bridge is North Raisin Center Highway approximately 250 ft east of the bridge. The area is heavily wooded, and the bridge cannot be seen from the roadway during the summer months. Access to the bridge is strictly prohibited, however it can be crossed via passenger train.</p><br>
<p>The bridge consists of a Pratt deck truss span 116 feet in length, with pinned connections and inclined end posts, spanning the river; along with two deck plate girder spans, each 44 feet in length, at one end; and a third deck plate girder span, 50 feet in length, at the other. The bridge is supported by ashlar abutments and piers. The bridge deck is 10 feet wide, and is constructed of 8X8 timbers.</p><br>
<p>The John Pennington–Henry Ford House, also known as the John Banks House, is a private residence located at 8281 Clinton Macon Road in Macon Township in the northeast corner of Lenawee County, Michigan. It was designated as a Michigan Historic Site on September 17, 1974, and later added to the National Register of Historic Places on December 31, 1974.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In 1829, John and Hannah Pennington moved from Perinton, New York to this location in Michigan. At the time, the Penningtons were the only settlers between Tecumseh and Saline. They built a shanty and began clearing the land. That fall they built a log cabin. More settlers soon arrived, and a small settlement sprang up.</p><br>
<p>Some time around 1845, the Penningtons built this house. They continued to live here until Johns death in 1883 and Hannahs soon after. At that time, John M. Pennington, the couple&#39;s son, moved into the house. John M. Pennington died in 1929, and the house has soon purchased by automotive magnate Henry Ford, who purchased and restored the property in the 1930s. He used the surrounding farmland to conduct experiments on soybeans. Ford later sold the property, and it remains privately owned.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The house is a symmetric two-story Greek Revival farmhouse with a recessed, pillared porch on the ground level. Single-story wings extend to each side of the main section. The house is sided with narrow boards, and sits on a fieldstone foundation.</p><br>
<p>The interior of the house contains a pantry and three bedrooms on the ground floor, and one large bedroom on the second floor. Bathrooms were added at a later date. The interior has oak floors and black walnut woodwork.</p><br>
<p>The Downtown Adrian Commercial Historic District is a historic district comprising the downtown area of Adrian, Michigan. It was designated as a Michigan Historic Site and added to the National Register of Historic Places on April 17, 1986. Most of the district is enclosed by the US-223 Business Route, although the two are not conterminous.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Adrian was first settled in 1826 by Addison J. Comstock, building a group of cabins at this site. Comstock built a sawmill, and in 1828 platted the first section of the city, nearly all of which in included in the current historic district. Both residences and commercial buildings were constructed on the area, with the first commercial enterprise, Dr. E. Conant Winter&#39;s dry goods store, opening in 1829. As Adrian grew, the earliest frame buildings were displaced by the growing commercial district. In 1838, Adrian became the county seat, creating a legal and financial sector within the district. A number of banks opened their doors in the mid 19th century.</p><br>
<p>By the latter part of the century, development in the downtown district reached its peak. A new courthouse was constructed in 1884 (just outside the district), and Adrian was the commercial supply center for the surrounding agricultural area. By 1900, the growth of the central business district had slowed, leaving a district that has changed little in the years since. Although many of the storefronts have been altered, some buildings demolished, and a few new buildings added, downtown Adrian is a remarkably intact representation of what the area looked like over a century ago.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Downtown Adrian Commercial Historic District contains 102 structures, of which 84 contribute to the historical character of the district. The buildings within the district are a mix of Federal, Greek Revival, and Late Victorian architecture. The oldest buildings within the district today date back to 1865; the majority were built between 1865–1920. Most of the buildings are two- and three-story commercial structures, but some churches, government buildings, and other social structures (such as the Adrian Union Hall-Croswell Opera House and Clark Memorial Hall, both individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places) are included.</p><br>
<p>The majority of the buildings in the district are Italianate in style, with the finest example being the highly detailed Clark Memorial Hall, with its eclectic limestone and metal facade. Older architectural styles are also represented, such as the three-story brick Federal style Lathrop Block at 128 E. Maumee. Greek Revival is also represented, including the large three-story masonry Greek Revival Underwood Block at 101 E. Maumee and two early churches: the 1837 First Baptist Church at 119 N. Broad, and the 1842 First United Presbyterian Church. A few Revival buildings exist in the district, and some of the latest additions include the 1905 YMCA building at 146-150 S. Main, which is a hybrid composition with Richardsonian and Classical elements; the 1925 Tudor Adrian Armory at 230 W. Maumee; and the 1924 Neoclassical Masonic Temple at 160 E. Maumee.</p><br>
<p>St. Sebastian&#39;s Catholic Church is a historic Roman Catholic church in Marion Township, Mercer County, Ohio, United States. Located in the unincorporated community of Sebastian, it is the home of an active congregation and has been declared a historic site because of its well-preserved early twentieth-century Gothic Revival architecture.</p><br>
<h2>Parish history</h2><br>
<p>Dedicated to third-century martyr Saint Sebastian, the parish was established in 1852 from territory that had been part of St. Rose and St. John the Baptist parishes. By the end of the following year, its members constructed a church building that would serve the parish for twenty-five years; a frame structure, it was built under the direction of an African American man named Coratus. This structure served the parish until a replacement brick church was completed in October 1879; a rectangle measuring 45 ft by 85 ft, it cost $4,000 to build and was considered by some to be the finest church in Mercer County. Anton DeCurtins was instrumental in this building&#39;s history: he designed it, added its pipe organ, and expanded it in 1894.</p><br>
<p>Some of the parishs members lived in the village of Chickasaw, Unrest between the Catholics of Chickasaw and the parishs other members culminated with the destruction of the church: on January 12, 1903, soon after many of the Chickasaw parishioners separated from St. Sebastian&#39;s, the church and its contents were burned to the ground. In the aftermath of the fire, an investigation was conducted under the supervision of Archbishop Elder. Although the fire was deemed suspicious, a separate parish was created in Chickasaw as a result of the fire, while St. Sebastian parish began the construction of a new church in 1904; it remains standing today.</p><br>
<p>Since its creation, St. Sebastians has been ministered to by priests of the Society of the Precious Blood. Today, St. Sebastians remains an active parish of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati. It is part of the Marion Catholic Community cluster, along with Precious Blood parish in Chickasaw, Nativity of the Blessed Virgin parish in Cassella, St. Rose parish in St. Rose, and St. John the Baptist parish in Maria Stein. The entire cluster is a part of the St. Marys Deanery.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>Andrew DeCurtins, Antons son, was chosen as the architect for the new structure; he employed stone for the foundation, pressed brick (laid in a stretcher bond) for the walls, and slates for the roof. The entire building is a very tall structure; its vertical features are highlighted by elements such as the sandstone trim on the buttresses. Although the building is only one story high, it includes a tall steeple with a belfry and topped with a four-sided spire. Worshippers enter the building through a doorway in the towers base; the transom features tracery crowned with sandstone. Inside, the church is equipped with a basement, while its most impressive feature is a vaulted ceiling decorated with multiple High Gothic Revival reredos. A rectangle 113 ft long and 52 ft wide, the church was built on the site of the previous structure.</p><br>
<p>Architectural historians have divided the Precious Blood-related churches of western Ohio into four generations. St. Sebastian&#39;s is typical of the churches of the third generation, which are generally Gothic Revival structures with a single central tower. It is one of six extant churches from this period that were designed by the DeCurtins family.</p><br>
<h2>Surrounding areas</h2><br>
<p>During the early years of the twentieth century, the Archdiocese of Cincinnati required each parish to construct a rectory for its parish priest.</p><br>
<p>Some areas of lesser-used land border the church. A parish cemetery is located nearby, while the distance between the front door and Sebastian Road is lined with small trees. The community of Sebastian is very small, causing the church to appear almost as if it were alone in the countryside. Among the few nearby buildings is an old house located adjacent to the church property&#39;s eastern boundary; it is believed to have been built during the 1850s as a general store.</p><br>
<h2>Recognition</h2><br>
<p>St. Sebastian&#39;s Church was recorded by a historic preservation program, the Ohio Historic Inventory, in 1977. This architectural survey ranked both the church and the rectory in good condition without any significant threats to their historic integrity, and the church was deemed eligible for addition to the National Register of Historic Places. Both buildings were listed together on the Register in 1979, along with over thirty other properties in far western Ohio related to the Society of the Precious Blood. Many of these buildings were churches or rectories, including at least one building owned by each of the six parishes in the Marion Catholic Community. The tall Gothic Revival architecture of many churches in this part of far western Ohio has become the namesake of this region, which is nicknamed the "Land of the Cross-Tipped Churches."</p><br>
<p>Bertie Memorial Hospital is a critical access hospital located in Windsor, North Carolina. It is a part of ECU Health. The original hospital opened in 1952 with Hill-Burton Act funding. It is a three-story, masonry, International Style building with a flat roof. It closed temporarily in 1985 and underwent several turnovers in management. Vidant Health  took over management in 1998 and provided money for a new hospital in September 2001. The hospital was the first in the nation constructed according to Critical Access Hospital standards. The federal Office of Rural Health Policy has designated it a national model for Critical Access Hospital construction. The hospital concentrates on same-day services. It has six general hospital beds.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004.</p><br>
<p>The Saint Michael and All Angels Episcopal Church is a historic church located in rural Cambridge Township in northwestern Lenawee County, Michigan. The church was designated as a Michigan Historic Site on October 2, 1980. On February 4, 2004, the church, along with the adjacent Cambridge Township Cemetery, was added to the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Saint Michael and All Angels Episcopal Church is a small church located at 11646 Old Monroe Pike Road near the junction of M-50 and USA Route 12. The church is active and is part of the Episcopal Diocese of Michigan. The Cambridge Township Cemetery is located next to the church. While the church is privately owned, the cemetery is owned by the township.</p><br>
<p>The church is a red brick Gothic Revival building with a gable roof, a fieldstone foundations, and a square-plan tower projecting from the center of the front facade. Three pointed-arch windows filled with stained glass are in the walls of the tower; more similar windows line each side, and an additional one is in the rear. The tower is topped with a pyramid-roof wood belfry. The entrance is through a double door within a pointed arch in the base of the tower, and is reached via shirt staircases leading to a platform.</p><br>
<p>On the interior, the entry leads to a small vestibule with a flagstone floor. From the vestibule another set of double doors leads to the nave. The nave has white plaster walls and ceiling, and a linoleum covered floor. Eleven rows of pews are set on each side of a central aisle.</p><br>
<p>The nearby cemetery contains a variety of large, old trees that are randomly located through the area. A lane encircles the cemetery. Grave markers include a variety of nineteenth and twentieth-century monuments and memorials typical for the time and place. The earliest monuments are white marble slabs.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Cambridge Township was established in 1835, soon after the area was opened up by the construction of the Chicago Road. As European settlers moved in, a small hamlet soon formed in this general area, known as "Cambridge Junction." In 1838, the township purchased a small plot of land, only 132 feet by 165 feet, for use as a cemetery. Another small plot was added later, and a final two acres was added to the cemetery in 1863. Some of the township&#39;s earliest pioneers are buried in the cemetery.</p><br>
<p>The church, located adjacent to the cemetery, dates back to 1840, when the Rev. William Narcissus Lyster was invited to preach to hold religious services in the area. A small parish was formed in 1843, but soon lapsed. In 1854, the St. Michael&#39;s and All Angels parish was reorganized, and plans were made to construct a church, The parish obtained land in 1855, and construction soon began. The first service in the completed church was held on October 31, 1858. The tower was rebuilt in the 1870s, and a parish hall was added in 1956. The church is still used by the St. Michael & All Angels Episcopal Church congregation.</p><br>
<p>The Sparkill Creek Drawbridge is a historic Pratt Pony Truss drawbridge located at Piermont in Rockland County, New York. It was built in 1880 by the King Iron Bridge Company of Cleveland, Ohio, and is a single-leaf movable metal bridge. Chains can lift the bridge when an operator turns a crank, helped by counterweights. It spans Sparkill Creek, a tributary of the Hudson River.</p><br>

<p>The M/V Commander is a historic motor vessel built in 1917 and designed by Beele Wallace Co. of Morehead City, North Carolina, United States. She is homeported at the Haverstraw Marina in West Haverstraw, Rockland County, New York. She is a wooden 275-passenger excursion boat approximately 60 feet in length, 25 feet in breadth, and weighing 70 tons. MV Commander was built as an excursion boat for service between Rockaway and Brooklyn, New York.</p><br>
<p>She was leased to the United States Navy on 17 September 1917 and commissioned on 3 January 1918. She operated around the New York Navy Yard during World War I to outfit submarine chasers and tow manned observation balloons off the entrances of New York Harbor. The Commander was decommissioned from the Navy on 5 February 1919 and returned to her civilian owner.</p><br>
<p>The M/V Commander spent the next 8 decades with Rockaway Boat Line, one of the longest uninterrupted services in excursion boat history in the United States.

<p>The Highland Falls Village Hall is located on Main Street in Highland Falls, New York, United States. It is a three-story Italianate-style brick buildings erected about 1894.</p><br>
<p>Originally it housed a bank for many years. It became the village hall in 1967. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
<h2>Building</h2><br>
<p>The village hall is located at the southwest corner of the intersection of Main Street and Schneider Avenue in the densely developed downtown section of Highland Falls. It is a three-story, nine-by-nine-bay brick structure with a flat roof. There are glass storefronts at street level north of the centrally located main entrance, round-arched and supported by fluted pilasters.</p><br>
<p>A dentiled cornice separates the first and second stories. The windows on the second and third stories are framed by projecting round brick arches, with the southernmost bays on both stories bricked in. Pilasters run the full height of the building to triangular brick corbels below a slightly elevated bracketed cornice. The north elevation, along Schneider, has similar windows, with the first floor&#39;s offset slightly to the west to accommodate one of the storefronts.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The exact year of the building&#39;s construction, and its original purpose, is not known. A brick building is shown at the site on maps from 1859 and 1875, but not 1891. The local tax assessor dates the building to 1894.</p><br>
<p>In 1907 records show that a Mr. Kreutz sold the building to the First National Bank of Highland Falls. At that time alterations were made to the exterior. Storefronts were added and the southernmost upper windows bricked in.</p><br>
<p>Later First National became part of Marine Midland Bank. In 1967 the village acquired the property. It has used it ever since, without any significant alterations.</p><br>
<p>The house at 365 Main Street, formerly 116 Main Street in Highland Falls, New York, United States, is an Italian Villa style building dating to the mid-19th century. It may have originally been built as the rectory for the nearby Church of the Holy Innocents.</p><br>
<p>It is considered the most accomplished house in that style in the village. In 1982 it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places along with over 50 other historic properties in the Hudson Highlands.</p><br>
<h2>Building</h2><br>
<p>The house is on a small lot on the east side of Main north of Cozzens Avenue, just north of downtown. Across Main and West Point Highway is the Thayer Hotel and other buildings and parking lots associated with the United States Military Academy. To the north is Holy Innocents&#39; current Tudorbethan rectory. Tall trees screen the house slightly from the house on the corner just to the south. More houses are located to the east.</p><br>
<p>The building itself is a two-story clapboard-sided frame structure on a stone foundation. A projecting three-story tower with brick chimney rises from the northeast corner. The main block has a shallow pitched side-gabled roof. A flat-roofed veranda with three Doric columns and a plain rail is on the south. On the west is a sympathetic newer extension, with a similar extension on its own west.</p><br>
<p>Both the main entrance and the window above it have flat-roofed hoods, the lower one supported by console brackets with pendants. A projecting bay window is on the south of the main entrance, with another on the south facade west of the veranda. All rooflines and cornices save the veranda and the hood on the main entrance have a simple cut molding.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The house was built in the 1860s. Its earliest recorded owner is a "J.W." in 1875. In 1891 a map shows it as part of the Holy Innocents&#39; property; its proximity to the current rectory suggests it may have been used in that capacity at that time.</p><br>
<p>At some point later the two rear wings were built. It has remained largely intact otherwise. In the late 20th century, after it had been listed on the National Register, the streets in Highland Falls were renumbered for 9-1-1 purposes and it became 365 Main Street.</p><br>
<p>The house at 20 Center Street, formerly 37 Center Street, in Highland Falls, New York, United States is a frame house built in the mid-19th century in the Greek Revival architectural style.</p><br>
<p>It is one of the few Greek Revival houses, and the highest in style, in the Hudson Highlands. In 1982 it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>Building</h2><br>
<p>The house is located on the east side of Center Street, a half-block north of Mountain Avenue (state highway NY 218) and a block west of downtown Highland Falls. To the north and south are other houses, many dating from the same era or earlier, albeit modified over time. On the west of the street the ground rises to athletic fields and then Highland Falls Middle School. It is on a small lot with a picket fence along the sidewalk</p><br>
<p>The building itself is a five-by-two-bay two-and-a-half-story clapboard-sided house on a fieldstone foundation. Atop is a side-gabled roof with asphalt shingles pierced by brick chimneys at either end. A full-length porch with decorative piers and railing is on the first story of the west (front) facade.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The house is first recorded on an 1875 map with the initials "BK", for Bernard Kenney, its owner. Its minimal architectural detailing, particular the plain sills and lintels, link it to other nearby houses in the area built around 1850 or earlier, the oldest grouping of houses in the village. The house at 20 Center Street stands out because no other Greek Revival house in the Hudson Highlands expresses the style so fully.</p><br>
<p>It has remained a private residence since the time of its construction. Few changes have been made to it. The front picket fence was added since 1982, and it became 20 Center Street at the end of the 20th century when many streets in the county were renumbered for 9-1-1 service.</p><br>
<p>Pine Terrace is a historic home located at Highland Falls in Orange County, New York. It was built about 1865 and is a two-story brick building with a central three story pavilion. It features a slate mansard roof with a wooden bracketed cornice in the Second Empire style. The wooden porte-cochère has trefoils characteristic of Gothic Revival.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The house was completed in 1865, just after the death of its builder, Captain Stephen Romer Roe, a popular steamboat captain on the Hudson River. In later years, Roe operated the West Point Hotel, after managing several steamboats. Roe&#39;s wife, Josephine, and son, Major General Charles Francis Roe, maintained the estate after his death."Capt. Stephen Romer Roe, who died yesterday at his residence, No. 40 Fifth-avenue, was in his time one of the most widely known and popular of the steamboat Captains upon the Hudson River. He was born in Ulster County on Aug. 15, 1808, and from his early boyhood had an inclination for a steamboat life. After the usual experience, serving in all capacities upon several of the noted boats of the period, he was selected on account of his skill and prudence as Captain of the DeWitt Clinton, at that time the leading boat engaged in the trade between New York and Albany. This position he reached before he attained the age of 27.</p><br>
<p>After a successful career upon the Clinton he was transferred to the Empire, of Troy, and later to the Iron Witch, which was the first iron-hulled steamer ever built in these waters. This vessel proving a failure, he was made Captain of the famous New World which was finished just after the failure of the Iron Witch. As Captain of the New World, which for years enjoyed the reputation of being the finest and fastest boat ever built, he added to his already great popularity, and during his connection with the noted craft had in his charge at some time nearly every prominent man in the United States.</p><br>
<p>In 1849 he determined to retire from the river and was induced to take charge of the West Point Hotel, situated within the Academic grounds, and which during his subsequent career became known all over the world as Roe&#39;s Hotel. He conducted the hotel business with great success, and was very popular with the army officers and other public men. Among those with whom he was closely intimate was Gov. William H. Seward, who, to mark his confidence and regard for the Captain, appointed him first as an aide upon his staff, and subsequently made him Inspector-General of the State. In 1867 Mr. Roe retired from the management of the hotel and from all business. He is survived by his wife and one son, Lieut. Charles F. Roe, Adjutant of the Second Cavalry. He was during his residence in New York a member of the Protestant Episcopal Church of the Transfiguration, the Rector of which, the Rev. Dr. Houghton, will officiate at the funeral services. The time of the funeral has not yet been fixed, owing to the desire of the family to carry out his wish to be buried at the West Point Cemetery. This requires the consent of the War Department, to which the necessary application has already been made."</p><br>
<p>— Roes Obituary printed in The New York Times, December 23, 1885The gardens of Pine Terrace sat behind the estate, and until recent decades were fairly maintained. Two large classical French Sphynxes adorned the front entrance. Schildkrauts also maintained the estate&#39;s ballroom, sitting rooms and lounges for guest usage.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
<p>The Squirrels is a historic estate located at Highland Falls in Orange County, New York. It was built about 1845 and is a two-story frame and clapboard structure with a multi-gabled roof.

<p>Echo Lawn Estate, also known as Stonegate after the Great War, is a historic estate located at Balmville in Orange County, New York. The main house was built about 1860 and is a two-story brick dwelling in the Second Empire style. It features sweeping concave mansard-type roofs. Also on the property is a cluster of mid-19th-century service buildings, an early 20th-century formal garden, and a substantial set of Arts and Crafts inspired gateposts and stone walls.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2009.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Echo Lawn Estate remains an important example of mid-nineteenth-century Hudson River Valley estate design, reflecting as it does the Romantic sentiments of the era in its Picturesque-inspired architectural and landscape elements, as well as later changes portraying 20th century design trends. The estate&#39;s architectural centerpiece is a large brick masonry dwelling reflecting an early interpretation of the Second Empire style, built in 1859 and distinguished by a graceful bell-cast mansard roof punctuated by dormers and chimneys.</p><br>
<p>This house illustrates the growing influence of the Second Empire style in American domestic architecture during this period; among the earliest known examples in the United States was the Culbert House on Grand Street in nearby Newburgh, authored by Calvert Vaux in association with his partner and mentor A. J. Downing. Vaux included the Culbert House as Design No. 22 in his 1857 book Villas & Cottages, which also included another Second Empire-style freestanding house, Design No. 25, authored in association with former partner Frederick C. Withers, helping to popularize a style which flourished in the post-Civil War period.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>In addition to the Second Empire-style main dwelling, the estate retains a complement of period service buildings, all rendered in frame construction, all reflecting the architectural tenets of the nationally significant Picturesque movement largely popularized in this region through the exertions of Newburgh native and author A. J. Downing; his sometime collaborator the New York City architect A.J. Davis; and former Downing associates Vaux and Withers. These include a carriage barn that is distinguished by board-and-batten sheathing, an intersecting gable trimmed with Gothic Revival-style bargeboard, and a cupola or vent embellished by quatrefoil motifs; a -story gatehouse sheathed in horizontal siding; a board-and-batten sheathed stable with gable embellished with bargeboard; and a frame ice-house with pitched roof, the eaves of which are enlivened by exposed purlins, a typical Picturesque device. There is likewise an original Tutton greenhouse that was restored in 1999. Adding cohesion to these resources is the original carriage road that connects Stonegate Drive with the outbuildings and main dwelling, as well as elements of the original Picturesque-inspired landscape treatments. Only a portion of the carriage mule—which continued further to the south where it again connected with the main road— however survives.</p><br>
<p>Likewise dating to the early 20th century period, hut nevertheless an integral and significant contributing element of the estate, are the highly artistic Arts & Crafts-inspired gates, which are rendered in stone and brick and which lead from the main road towards the gatehouse and service building complex. These terminate dry-laid rubble stone walls that align this area of the estate. The north side of the former estate also contains a Japanese pond and garden, which like the Italian garden represent subsequent historic landscape developments.</p><br>
<p>Echo Lawn was owned during portions of the 19th century by the Johues and Knowlton families, the latter family being responsible for the installation in the early 20th century of the flower garden in front of the main dwelling, currently under restoration and reflecting the Italian garden style in its rigid symmetry and formality. Natalie Knowlton Blair (born 1887), an important early collector of American decorative arts and considerable contributor to the collections of the American Wing of the New York Metropolitan Museum of Art, lived on tins estate during her youth, and the main house and garden were depicted by the American landscape painter Gifford Beal (1879–1956), whose family owned an adjacent property and whose uncle Thaddeus Beal bought Echo Lawn in 1908. Both Gifford Beal and his brother Reynolds Beal, respected painters on the contemporary American scene, captured views of the Hudson River from the estate, and painted in a studio attached to the carriage barn. The house is currently owned by Douglas Johnson a media executive who has been restoring the house since 2003.</p><br>
<p>Echo Lawn, among the last substantially intact 19th-century estates in the Balmville area, is situated directly across from Morningside, a Picturesque Gothic Revival-style house designed for Frederick Deming by Withers and built in 1859; additional historic estates adjacent to it include the Willellyn estate once owned by William Beal, and the former J. W. Thomas estate. Echo Lawn was historically situated immediately west of the Algonac estate, home of the Delano family, and long-since lost and developed.</p><br>
<p>The George and Mary Pine Smith House is a private house located at 3704 Sheldon Road, near Sheldon in Canton Township, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The land this house sits on was first farmed by William Smith of England, who purchased 80 acre of land in 1830. In 1835, Smith purchased another 80 acre to the east. At some point, William built a log cabin on the property. William Smith and his wife Mary Collins Smith raised seven children on this farm, establishing a long line of Smiths farming in Canton Township.</p><br>
<p>One of William and Mary Collins Smiths children was George Smith Sr. His son George Jr. (Williams grandson) married Mary Pine. In 1904, George Jr. and Mary Smith spent $2,058.76 to build the house that now sits on the property, replacing the log cabin. Although the present acreage is small, outbuildings on the property give the feel of the old farmstead and the wooded edges isolate the house from the surrounding modern developments.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The George and Mary Pine Smith House is a two-story gabled ell building with an additional ell at the rear. The brick house sits on a two-foot-thick fieldstone foundation laid in courses across the facade. Many of the bricks in the walls were handmade at the building site. Two doors in the front facade are covered by a small porch with decorative millwork. The front facade includes a bay window, and two of the other front windows have a transom sash, one with stained glass in the transom area and the other with beveled glass. Three more large transomed windows are in other elevations, and the remainder of the house&#39;s windows are narrow one over ones. The windows are topped with a segmental arch formed of corbelled bricks.</p><br>
<p>The Hawaii Capital Historic District in Honolulu, Hawaii, has been the center of government of Hawaii since 1845.</p><br>
<h2>Location</h2><br>
<p>With the grounds of Iolani Palace and the Hawaii State Capitol at its core, the historic district reaches inland across Beretania Street to include the buildings and grounds of Washington Place and St. Andrew&#39;s Cathedral; crosses Richards Street to include the former Armed Services YMCA Building, YWCA Building, and Hawaiian Electric Company Building; crosses Queen Street on the seaward side to include State Tax Office Building; and reaches across Punchbowl Street to include the buildings and grounds of Kawaiahao Church and Mission Houses below King Street and the city government core of Honolulu Hale and the Mission Memorial Building and Annex above King Street. Its architectural styles range from 19th-century adaptations of New England homes, through the Italianate Renaissance Revival and Neoclassical edifices of the Monarchy, through the Beaux Arts and Mission Revival inspirations of the Territory. The district was added to the National Register of Historic Places on December 1, 1978, after the nearby Chinatown Historic District and Merchant Street Historic District had already been added.</p><br>

<p>The Gruenwald Convent is a historic former Roman Catholic convent in the far western part of the USA state of Ohio. Located approximately 0.5 mi south of the small community of Cassella in Mercer County, the convent was built in 1854.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Under the leadership of Francis de Sales Brunner, the Missionaries constructed six convents in southern Mercer County and surrounding areas between 1846 and 1856. Patterned after the monasteries that had housed the orders members in Europe, these convents were some of the most prominent buildings in the region — surrounded by small frame houses, these brick structures resembled fortresses. Five other convents were built: one affiliated with St. Augustines Church in Minster, one affiliated with St. Joseph&#39;s Church in Egypt, the Himmelgarten convent near St. Henry, the Maria Stein Convent, and one affiliated with Holy Trinity Church in Trinity, Indiana. By the late 1970s, only the Gruenwald and Trinity convents remained in a condition resembling their original state: and has since been destroyed; the Minster convent likewise is no longer in existence; and the Egypt and Maria Stein convents had been significantly modified.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The Gruenwald Convent is a two-and-a-half story structure. Built on a stone foundation, its walls are brick, and it is covered by an asphalt roof. It is significantly smaller than some of the other convents of the region; for example, the Maria Stein Convent is a complex of seventeen buildings, some of which are much larger than the Gruenwald Convent. After the Gruenwald Convent ceased to be used for its original purpose, it was converted into a typical residence; consequently, it is also known as the "McDowell House".</p><br>
<h2>Historic status</h2><br>
<p>In 1979, the Gruenwald Convent was one of more than thirty buildings added to the National Register of Historic Places as a part of a multiple property submission known as the "Cross-Tipped Churches of Ohio Thematic Resources." This collection included historically significant buildings in the vicinity of Maria Stein that were related to the Missionaries of the Precious Blood. The many massive Gothic Revival churches in this collection have become the namesake for the region, which is commonly known as the "Land of the Cross-Tipped Churches." The convent was listed on the Register both because of its contribution to the region&#39;s history and because of its connection to Francis de Sales Brunner.</p><br>
<p>The YWCA Building at 1040 Richards Street, Honolulu, Hawaii, popularly called the Richards Street Y, is now officially named Laniākea, which means open skies or wide horizons in the Hawaiian language. It was designed by San Francisco architect Julia Morgan, who considered it one of her favorites. The building consists of two large units which are connected by a two-story loggia. The main building is three stories high and faces Richards St. with a frontage of 165 feet. The second unit, which is directly in the rear of the first, is somewhat smaller, being two stories high with a large basement.</p><br>
<p>In the area between the buildings on the mauka side is the spacious swimming pool, 31 by 61 feet. On the makai side of the loggia is a court which can be used for parties and dining.</p><br>
<p>Entrance from the loggia to the rear building is directly into the Elizabeth Fuller Memorial Hall. Ms. Fuller was a charter member of the Hawaiian Girls Club of the YWCA and one of the oldest members of the organization. She died in India while a member of a Hawaiian group of entertainers. In her memory, the club raised $1,000 toward the hall, which the YWCA named after her.</p><br>
<p>At the makai end of the rear building is a restaurant, Cafe Julia, named after the architect.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>YWCA O&#39;ahu formed in 1900 and was housed in several buildings through 1926. Fundraising for the new building began in February 1925. A ten-day campaign was scheduled with the aim of raising $350,000. Their goal was met in a week with $1,350 to spare. Work for the new building began in March 1926. The site for it was a portion of the Laniakea Tract from the Allen Estate on Richards Street, which the YW purchased in 1924 for $238,566.</p><br>
<p>The women sent their general secretary, Grace Channon, to the Mainland to select an architect for the project. They chose one of America’s first and foremost female architects, Julia Morgan from San Francisco, who built the castle for newspaper baron William Randolph Hearst, to design the building that they were determined would not be an “Architectural misfit”. The Association hired, Catherine Jones Richards to do the landscaping.</p><br>
<p>The building opened in 1927 and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1978 as a contributing property within the Hawaii Capital Historic District.</p><br>
<p>Julia Morgan, the first female graduate of the École des Beaux Arts in Paris, was also overseeing the restoration of Hearst Castle in San Simeon, California, at the time. She combined modern structural concrete engineering with traditional Mediterranean design elements&mdash;arches, loggias, balconies, and decorative grille work&mdash;to create a unique building well adapted to the Hawaiian climate and evolving Hawaiian regional style.</p><br>
<p>The Raisin Valley Friends Meetinghouse is a historic church located at 3552 North Adrian Highway  in Adrian Charter Township about two miles  north of the city of Adrian in central Lenawee County, Michigan. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on April 28, 1982, and later designated as a Michigan Historic Site on January 23, 1992.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In 1831, Quaker missionaries travelling to Michigan established two congregations. One of these, initially known as Adrian meeting, evolved into the Raisin Valley Friends. Raisin Valley Friends initially worshipped in a log cabin located near the present church property, but by 1834 the congregation had grown large enough that a permanent meeting place was called for. Local settler David Baker made a six-acre parcel available, and the congregation raised $800 (~$ in ) to build this church, which opened in 1835.</p><br>
<p>The church, which had an abolitionism stance, is recognized as having served as a major stop in Michigan&#39;s Underground Railroad network. Abolitionists Charles and Laura Smith Haviland founded the Raisin Institute at the church, and poet and abolitionist Elizabeth Margaret Chandler was also a member of the congregation.</p><br>
<p>In 1947, a basement was added to the building. In 1953 an addition was constructed, and in 1961 a Sunday School unit was added to one end, In the later 1960s, a front porch was added. The building continues to house the Raisin Valley Friends Church.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The simple, wooden church is typical of those built in the early nineteenth-century. The structure maintains its original appearance, with only modest changes in appearance due to the additions. The Raisin Valley Friends Meetinghouse is a single story clapboarded structure with simple corner boards, a thin classical cornice with returns, and a gable roof.

<p>The Civil War Memorial is a marble monument situated in the center of Monument Park in Adrian, Michigan. The monument was designated as a Michigan Historic Site on August 13, 1971 and later added to the National Register of Historic Places on June 29, 1972. It was unveiled on July 4, 1870 to commemorate soldiers from Adrian who died in the American Civil War (1861–1865).</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Civil War Memorial ties together the cities of Adrian and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The column used in the monument was originally one of the six marble columns on the eastern facade of the former Bank of Pennsylvania building in Philadelphia. The bank building and the column itself were built in 1799.</p><br>
<p>The Bank of Pennsylvania building, which was considered one of the first examples of Greek Revival architecture in the United States, was demolished in 1867. With Congressional permission, Joint resolution N0-78, July 27, 1868, one of the six columns was acquired by The Hon. F.C. Beeaman, member of Congress and former Mayor of the city and J. Fred Myers Esq. of Washington, a former well known citizen of Adrian and was donated to the monument association by Hon. Hugh McCulloch, then Secretary of the Treasury of the United States after its destruction. It remains one of the only surviving piece of the original Bank of Pennsylvania building in Michigan. Wilmington, Delaware, has another column.</p><br>
<h2>Design</h2><br>
<p>Architect and sculptor Benjamin H. Latrobe created the design of the column for the Pennsylvania Bank. The monument architect was Francis R. Stebbins of Adrian Michigan. The column was donated to the association by a joint act of Congress, (No-78) dated July 27, 1868. The sandstone base and urn at the top came to a cost of $10,000 raised by the monument association. The monument was unveiled in Monument Park on July 4, 1870 by the Adrian Soldiers’ Monument Association. It was the second such commemorative monument erected in Lenawee County following the war — the first being a cemetery monument erected in nearby Franklin Township.</p><br>
<p>The column rests on top of a sandstone octagonal pedestal, and each side contains a bronze tablet inscribed with the names of 84 fallen soldiers and the regiment to which they belonged. The column itself is surmounted with a sandstone urn.</p><br>
<p>The inscription on the base of the pedestal reads:</p><br>
<h2>Cannons</h2><br>
<p>There are four cannons that complement the Civil War Monument. Two of them are not marked by the foundry where they were made that we can find to date. The other two are marked and well documented. They were cast in 1834 at the Columbia Foundry located in Georgetown just north of DC. The foundry was started by Henry Foxall in Philadelphia but when the seat of government in 1800 moved to DC he also moved the foundry and continued to cast guns for the government. In 1815 the foundry was sold to Gen. John Mason. The cannons are marked with the US on the top. The weight is at the back of the breech. The initials WJW are on the top face of the cannon. WJW indicates the inspector of the cannons and that was Col. William Jenkins Worth. He was the inspector for all the foundries in the DC area at that time. At the bottom of the cannons face are marked #2 and the other is #3. These were experimental cannons and only three were cast. No one knows where cannon #1 is. The cannons were donated to the Monument association of Adrian by an act of Congress, Resolution (No-78) June 22, 1870, with the aid of The Hon. F.C. Beeaman, member of Congress and former Mayor of the city and J. Fred Myers Esq. of Washington and Henry Hart Association president.</p><br>
<p>The William Luelleman House  is a historic house in downtown New Bremen, Ohio, United States. Designed by an unknown architect and built in 1837,</p><br>
<p>Although the house is known primarily by Luellemans name, it has been owned and used by a succession of individuals unrelated to Luelleman and his family. It was built for community leader Gerhard Hehemann, and in later years it was home to the villages post office, a shop, and a Dutch Reformed church. Even while it was maintained for commercial or religious purposes, parts of the house continued to be used as a residence for multiple families.</p><br>
<p>In 1975, the Luelleman House was listed on the National Register of Historic Places because of its well-preserved historic architecture. As one of the best examples of German architecture in a heavily German community, it was seen as historically significant statewide. Today, it is the location of a museum operated by the New Bremen Historic Association, which has owned the house since shortly after its establishment in 1973.</p><br>
<p>The H.E. Fledderjohann Property is a complex of five historic buildings in the village of New Knoxville, Ohio, United States. Three of these structures — a house, a doctor&#39;s office, and a standalone kitchen building — were owned and used by Fledderjohann, a prominent New Knoxville physician in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.</p><br>
<h2>Fledderjohann&#39;s life</h2><br>
<p>Dr. Fledderjohann was the son of Herman Fledderjohann, a native of Prussia who immigrated to present-day Auglaize County in 1835. Soon after arriving, the elder Fledderjohann began laboring in the construction of the Miami and Erie Canal, and his diligence quickly led to him becoming a foreman and a leading man in the community. He was twice married and fathered eighteen children; among the sons borne by his second wife were Henry and B.A. Fledderjohann, who served in the Ohio House of Representatives. Henry Fledderjohann graduated from the medical school of the University of Pennsylvania in 1886. Upon entering the medical profession, Fledderjohann was well regarded by other physicians; he was a member of the Northwestern Ohio Medical Association, and in 1906, he was elected to the vice presidency of the Auglaize County Medical Society. For a time, he was also a public official, acting as the health officer for the New Knoxville Board of Health in 1902. Besides serving the community as a family doctor, Fledderjohann was also an inventor; he was granted a patent for a type of steam turbine in 1913.</p><br>
<h2>Buildings</h2><br>
<p>Fledderjohanns house was built in 1879 by Gustave Zuelch, Fledderjohanns predecessor as community doctor; he served the village from 1878 to 1888. Located adjacent to the house is the doctors office. Built in 1890, the office is a one-story brick building with small rounded windows that open into the attic. The kitchen is a one-story frame structure located immediately behind the house. These three buildings were listed together on the National Register of Historic Places in 1993, primarily because of their connection to Fledderjohann. Today, Fledderjohann&#39;s property is operated as a museum by the New Knoxville Historical Society, with his residence as a historic house museum. Besides the three landmarked buildings, the museum complex includes a barn, a barber shop and a small log house.</p><br>
<p>The Musgrove Evans House is a private residence in Tecumseh, Michigan, USA. It was designated as a Michigan Historic Site on October 29, 1971, and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on March 16, 1972.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Surveyor Musgrove Evans (1785-1855) originally platted Tecumseh in 1824 and built a crude log cabin. In 1826, Evans built this modest house at what is now the corner of Ottawa Street and Chicago Boulevard for his personal dwelling and for use as an inn for travelers. Musgrove&#39;s wife Abigail "Abi" Brown Evans, for whom a local chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution was later named, died in the early 1830s. In 1834, Evans moved with his children to colonial Texas, where his eldest son, Samuel Brown Evans (1812&ndash;1836), died in the Battle of the Alamo. The house was sold to Stillman Blanchard. In 1858, Blanchard went bankrupt, and the house was sold to prominent businessman Peter R. Adams.</p><br>
<p>In 1886, Adams&#39; daughter sold the house, and it was moved from its original location on Chicago Boulevard to the current site. The interior was then converted into apartments, while the exterior remained unchanged. Today the house serves again as a single-family dwelling.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The house is a rectangular, two-story, five-bay, Federal style structure with a single story rear addition. Large, axe-hewn beams were used for construction, and are joined at the corners by mortise and tenon joints and locked with wooden pegs. The facade has turned-back cornice moldings, a semi- circular windows at the gable end, and a center entrance with a fan-light window above the door. The windows are regularly spaced in the facade and contain small panes.</p><br>
