<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The first Quaker meeting for worship in Delaware was held in New Castle at the house of Governor Lovelace in September 1672, when George Fox visited the town. After William Penn became proprietor of the "Three Lower Counties," as Delaware was then known, regular meetings were formed in Newark, Centre and New Castle. Regular meetings did not begin in Wilmington until 1735 when William and Elizabeth Shipley built a one-story brick house near Fourth and Shipley Streets that was used for worship as a Preparative Meeting, officially beginning in 1738. In 1750 the status of Monthly Meeting was granted by the Concord Quarterly Meeting.</p><br>
<p>The first dedicated meetinghouse was built across the street from the current site in 1738 and measured 25 ft square. The second meetinghouse was built in 1748 on the current site and could hold 500 people. The present building was opened on September 25, 1817 and is said to hold 700 people. A school was founded here in 1748 in the meetinghouse built in 1738, which has evolved into the Wilmington Friends School. In 1937 the school moved from Quaker Hill to the Alapocas neighborhood of Wilmington.</p><br>
<p>John Dickinson, the "penman of the Revolution," is buried in the adjoining burial ground, as are abolitionist Thomas Garrett and Delaware Governor Caleb P. Bennett.

The front facade features three brick towers; two corner ones are set diagonally, with onion-shaped domes topped with crosses and the center square tower (built 1881), now used as a belfry, has arched louvered openings. The dome on the center tower replaced an original wooden belfry and smaller dome destroyed by fire in March 1966. The parochial Catholic school, St. Marys, was built on the adjacent property in 1866. St. Marys parish became part of the Catholic Diocese of Wilmington at its inception in 1868.</p><br>
<p>Originally incorporated as "St. Mary’s Catholic Church" in 1877, the name of the church was changed when it was reincorporated in 1894 and became incorporated as "Church of St. Mary of the Immaculate Conception."</p><br>

<p>The Louis Joliet Hotel is a historic, eight-story building in Joliet, Illinois.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Classical Revival building was constructed in 1927 and initially functioned as a hotel. The Louis Joliet was one of many hotels to set up in downtown Joliet in response to increased automobile usage. The ensuing economical surge resulted in a substantial increase in the number of business travelers, and hence, an increased demand for hotel rooms. Whereas previous hotels needed to be close to either the Illinois and Michigan Canal or a train station, new hotels could set up anywhere in town. New hotels were architecturally ornate and featured dinner rooms and ballrooms. These features were intended to draw in travelers and make the hotel seem ideal for conducting business.</p><br>
<p>The Ruben Brothers were prominent developers who envisioned a new hotel near the site where they planned on building a theater. They aimed to construct an entire city block that served business and entertainment needs. The Rialto Square Theatre was constructed in 1926, but they struggled to secure financing for a hotel. Real estate developer Fred J. Walsh shared the Rubens&#39; interest in developing a hotel on the site and was able to issue stock to finance the project. At eight stories, the Joliet Hotel was among the largest buildings in downtown Joliet upon its completion in 1927. The 225-room building cost approximately $750,000, including over $135,000 on furniture. The first floor of the hotel featured stores selling coffee, cigars, and newspapers, as well as a barber shop and reading room. The outside of the building also featured eleven shops. The hotel also owned a parking garage and offered valet services to hotel guests.</p><br>
<p>By the 1950s, the demand for urban hotels was on the decline as they struggled to compete with smaller, cheaper motels along the highway. In 1964, the hotel was sold to the Active Order of Carmelites and was converted to a nursing home. In 1980, the hotel was remodeled and used as a performing arts center. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1990 and was later converted into an apartment building.</p><br>
<p>The Rev. John Ely House is a historic house at 54 Milwaukee Avenue in Bethel, Connecticut.

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2001.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Ely House is located east of the village center of Bethel, at the northeast corner of Milwaukee Avenue and Kayview Avenue. It is a -story wood-frame structure, five bays wide, with a large central chimney, a side-gable roof, and a stone foundation. Its main entrance is centered on the front facade, and is sheltered by a Federal-style portico supported by slender columns, with a decorated soffit. The interior follows a typical center chimney plan, with parlors on either side of the chimney, a narrow entry vestibule with winding staircase in front, and the original kitchen space behind. Two small chambers once occupied the rear corners of the building; these have been integrated into other rooms. The house has retained significant amounts of original 18th-century woodwork, including wide board floors on the second floor, raised panel doors on the first floor, and board-and-batten doors on the second. The entry vestibule and staircase retain most of their original carved woodwork.</p><br>
<p>The house was built c. 1792, and is a well-preserved local survivor of the period. It is also noted for a succession of residents who played significant roles in the growth of Bethel during the 19th century, including two ministers and three businessmen, the latter including Oliver Shepard, a figure instrumental in the separation of Bethel as a separate town in 1855. Reverend John Ely, for whom the house was built, was Bethel parish&#39;s second settled minister, at a time when it was still part of Danbury.</p><br>
<p>The barn on the property has been modernized and utilized as a studio for performing arts and photography/videography.</p><br>
<p>The Benjamin Hait House, also known as the Hoyt House, is a historic house at 92 Hoyclo Road in Stamford, Connecticut.

<p>St. Paul&#39;s Episcopal Church in Chattanooga, Tennessee, is a downtown congregation of the Episcopal Church. It is one of the largest congregations in the Episcopal Diocese of East Tennessee.</p><br>
<h2>Early history</h2><br>
<p>The congregation first assembled in 1852, when local Episcopalians held worship services on the second floor of a general merchandise store at 4th and Market Streets. The parish was organized the following year in a meeting of ten families.</p><br>
<h2>Church buildings</h2><br>
<p>The parish&#39;s first church building was at the corner of 8th and Chestnut. During the American Civil War, it was used as a military hospital and received serious damage. The building was repaired and returned to use in 1867 after the congregation received $3640 from the federal government as compensation for the damages. In 1880, the parish sold the property at 8th and Chestnut and acquired the property at 7th and Pine as the site for a new church.</p><br>
<p>The church&#39;s current building was built in 1881 It was designed by New York City architect William Halsey Wood. Its design, which features a prominent bell tower, was modeled after a "typical English village church". The sanctuary has a high wooden ceiling and side galleries; it can seat about 450 people. The bell tower holds 11 bells that were cast by the McShane factory in Baltimore and dedicated in 1911. Architectural historian Ron Ramsay has described the church exterior as having Georgian elements, while the interior is "much more Gothic and much more Victorian". Wood used a similar design for churches in Kansas City and in La Crosse, Wisconsin. The church was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.</p><br>
<h2>Community service</h2><br>
<p>Since 1996, St. Pauls has housed a homeless shelter for women and children in the undercroft of its building, operated in collaboration with the Chattanooga Community Kitchen. St. Catherines Shelter can accommodate up to 14 people. It housed 276 women and 54 children during 2012. St. Pauls parishioners are also participants in a cooperative project that operates a mens shelter in the undercroft of the main building of the nearby Second Presbyterian Church. St. Matthews Mens Night Shelter started in 1984 as a winter-only emergency shelter for homeless men. It now operates year-round to provide overnight housing for men who are participating in a rehabilitative program, such as the program of the Chattanooga Community Kitchen.</p><br>
<p>Other community service activities include hosting a daily Alcoholics Anonymous group and participation in the Chattanooga Area Food Bank, Metropolitan Ministries, and other ministry groups. St. Paul&#39;s also serves as a field education site for the School of Theology of Sewanee: The University of the South.</p><br>

As such, the library was named a National Historic Landmark in 2012, following its listing on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973, and is on the Pittsburgh History and Landmarks Foundation&#39;s List of Historic Landmarks.</p><br>
<h2>Design, timeline and building</h2><br>
<p>Designed by William Halsey Wood in eclectic medieval style, the library sits on property acquired by Andrew Carnegie with his wife in November, 1885, while existing evidence indicates that the design was approved in March, 1886. The building was dedicated by Carnegie in person at ceremonies on March 30, 1889. Circulation of books also began that month. An addition in more Richardson Romanesque style by Longfellow, Alden & Harlow (successors to HH Richardson) followed in 1893. (Another Halsey Wood design, Yaddo, presently an artists retreat/center in Saratoga Springs NY, is now also a National Historic Landmark.)</p><br>
<p>The Carnegie foundation provided a grant of $357,782 for its construction. (This figure is believed to reflect the total of the 1889 and 1893 structures). Like some of the other early Carnegie libraries, the building housed various recreational facilities for its users, including billiard tables on the first floor. (Carnegie was himself quite fond of billiards, which was quite fashionable at the time.) A bathhouse in the basement, originally accessed by a tunnel under the front entrance, provided Carnegie&#39;s millworkers with a place to shower (at a time when indoor plumbing was not the norm) before using the facilities. Now re-purposed as a pottery studio, the tiled walls and floor remain, suggesting its original purpose.</p><br>
<p>The 1893 addition approximately doubled the size of the building, and brought many further amenities not usually associated with a library, including a 964-seat Music Hall, a gymnasium, a swimming pool (beneath the Music hall), and a two-lane duckpin alley. At least in the early years, the athletic/recreational facilities were available to members of the "Carnegie Club" who paid a modest quarterly fee. Employees of any Carnegie-owned company received a 50% discount, which in 1903 amounted to $1/quarter.</p><br>
<p>Three sets of decorative cast-iron panels with elements that include a shield and oak leaves are located below the first-floor bay-front windows of the Halsey Wood façade. While design does not appear to contain any parts of the Braddock or Carnegie family crests, the Braddock family name derives from the Old English broad oak (English oak, Quercus robur) which has leaves similar to those in the panels. Two specimens of Q robur now flank the entryway steps.</p><br>
<h2>Demise</h2><br>
<p>The Library remained in continuous use from 1889 to 1974, when neglect of the structure and lack of funds for repair, particularly of the roof, forced its closure. It was slated for demolition in the late 1970s when a group of residents for whom the Library had represented a very positive influence in their youth, organized to save the structure. Calling themselves the Braddocks Field Historical Society and led by David Solomon, the last librarian, they purchased the building for $1 and took steps to secure the building and attend to the roof. (The Societys name refers to Braddock&#39;s Field, the colonial-era name of the area, relating to the Battle of the Monongahela fought on July 9, 1755, a few blocks away).</p><br>
<h2>Rebirth</h2><br>
<p>Initially re-opening a single room as a children&#39;s library in 1983, with kerosene heat, the Society slowly but steadily re-occupied the building. The wood-paneled gym was restored in the early 1990s, and the roof was restored to its original terracotta appearance in 1998, along with the interior walls of the Music Hall, which had suffered substantial water damage from the leaking roof.</p><br>
<p>May 17, 2013: Re-decking the floor of the Music Hall continues with completion of the West Bank. Ponderosa Pine flooring is being replaced with more durable hickory, matching the original curved pattern but adding 6"/row.</p><br>
<p>Prototype restored original 1893 Thos. Kane Co. seat showing wooden spacers on either side of the backrest, to widen the seat.</p><br>
<p>Currently, library services for adults have largely moved to the first floor, while a new Children&#39;s Library with dedicated staffing opened in March 2012 on the second floor.</p><br>
<p>In the basement space originally occupied by a bathhouse (for Carnegie&#39;s millworkers to clean up before entering upstairs spaces), the Bathhouse Ceramics Studio offers pottery lessons to the community.</p><br>
<p>Work on the Music Hall continues, with restoration of the floor and the original 1893 Thos. Kane Co. seats the current focus.</p><br>
<p>In October 2013, the Library inaugurated its Art Lending Collection, which enables patrons to borrow original artwork including life-sized puppets, as part of the 2013 Carnegie International Opening Weekend.</p><br>
<h2>In pop culture</h2><br>
<p>The building has been used in several cinematic productions. The earliest known, Tony Bubas music video from ~1982 of Frenchy Burritos cover of the Robert Johnson classic, "Terraplane Blues", was filmed in the gymnasium. Subsequently, it has served as a Brooklyn police station in the TV movie, The Bride in Black (1990), with Susan Lucci and David Soul; as an orphanage in the TV movie, The Christmas Tree (1996), with Julie Harris, which was Sally Fields directorial debut; and as (separately) a museum and gymnasium in Shelter (2010), with Julianne Moore and Jonathan Rhys-Meyers. In early Dec 2014, the Library was the location for filming sequences of Dr. Bennet Omalus office in Concussion, with Will Smith and Albert Brooks.</p><br>
<p>The Oxford Presbyterian Church is a historic Presbyterian church located at Oxford, Indiana, USA. Its congregation originated as an offshoot of Central Presbyterian Church of Lafayette, Indiana. At the time of its establishment, there were two separate churches, First and Second Presabyterian Churches of Lafayette. In 1914, they merged as Central Presbyterian. The church was built in 1902 and is a 1½-story, Romanesque Revival style brick building with a gable / hipped roof. It features a three-story, square corner tower with a pyramidal roof.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places as Presbyterian Church Building in 1984.</p><br>
<p>The former church has been preserved as a community center and local history museum known as Oak Grove Heritage House.</p><br>
<p>St. John&#39;s Episcopal Church is a historic Episcopal church located at Lafayette, Tippecanoe County, Indiana. Founded by Parson Samuel R. Johnson, early services were held beginning in 1836–37 in the counting room of Thomas Benbridge. Benbridge had an accounting office. The first building dedicated on 30 Dec 1838 on Missouri St. A new Gothic Revival style church was built in 1858 on the Northwest corner of Sixth and Ferry. Major repairs were completed in 1887 with the addition of a Sunday School.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978. It is located in the Centennial Neighborhood District.</p><br>
<p>Cane Hill College, originally Cane Hill School, was the first institution of higher learning in Arkansas. It operated in Canehill, Arkansas from 1834 until 1891.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<h3>Cane Hill School (1834–1858)</h3><br>
<p>Cumberland Presbyterians founded a school in Cane Hill, Arkansas at a meeting on October 28, 1834. The Cane Hill School opened in 1835 and served the Northwest Arkansas region until it was renamed and chartered as Cane Hill Collegiate Institute.</p><br>
<p>Cane Hill College became the third four-year institution in the state (after St. John&#39;s College and Arkansas College) on December 15, 1852 when an act was passed in the Arkansas Legislature. F. R. Earle ran the school from 1853 until its demise in 1891.</p><br>
<h3>Cane Hill College (1858–1891)</h3><br>
<p>Cane Hill College closed in 1861 during the American Civil War. After a Union victory at the Battle of Cane Hill in November 1862, federal soldiers occupied the town. In 1864, Union troops burned three of the four on-campus buildings. Only a dormitory survived. Cane Hill College reopened after the war and admitted its first female student in 1875 with the creation of the Female Department. The Female Department was absorbed into the rest of the college by 1877, and the college became coeducational.</p><br>
<p>Disaster struck the evening of October 10, 1885 when the entire college burned to the ground. Arson was suspected but never proven. The chartering of the new state college, Arkansas Industrial University in Fayetteville, was a crippling blow to Cane Hill College. It closed its doors forever in 1891.</p><br>
<h2>Today</h2><br>
<p>Canehill, Arkansas is now an unincorporated community in Northwest Arkansas. Only one building remains of Cane Hill College, the rebuilt school following the 1885 fire. After closing, the building was used by the Salem Congregation of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church for worship, then as a public school from 1919 to 1956. It is listed as "Cane Hill College Building" on the National Register of Historic Places. The Bell House is also still located on the old campus grounds. The Cumberland Presbyterians converted Cane Hill College into Arkansas Cumberland College and later University of the Ozarks, but college education never returned to Cane Hill.</p><br>
<h2>Alumni</h2><br>
<p>J. P. Carnahan, Confederate States of America officer, a professor of mathematics, and Populist politician</p><br>
<p>Jordan E. Cravens, lawyer and politician who served as a USA Representative from Arkansas</p><br>

<p>The Jasper Yeates House, also known as the home of WRKY Radio, is an historic American home that is located in Lancaster, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
<h2>History and architectural features</h2><br>
<p>Built between 1765 and 1766, this historic structure is a four-story, four-bay, brick townhouse. It was designed in the Georgian style, and was the home of prominent Pennsylvania lawyer and justice Jasper Yeates (1745–1817) from 1775 to 1817.</p><br>
<p>In 1882, it was expanded to add the fourth floor and converted to commercial uses, and was then subsequently restored nearly a century later, with work completed between 1978 and 1979.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
<p>The Joliet East Side Historic District is a set of 290 buildings in Joliet, Illinois. Of these 290 buildings, 281 contribute to the historical integrity of the area. Joliet was founded in 1831, deemed an ideal place for a settlement to reap the local natural resources. Most importantly, large beds of limestone provided a strong economic incentive to develop the area. Several important structures were constructed with Joliet limestone, including the Old State Capitol and Chicago Water Tower. Joliet incorporated in 1852 and prospered due to its location on the Illinois and Michigan Canal.</p><br>
<p>James B. Campbell platted the first East Side property in 1834 and named it Juliet. Two years later, Will County was formed and Juliet was chosen as the county seat. Citizens on the land renamed the area Joliet in 1845 after French explorer Louis Jolliet. Thirty-two houses were constructed on the East Side between 1852 and 1873. The area was sought after because of its proximity to the railway station. The first mayor of Joliet, Cornelius Van Horn, built his residence here in 1852. Van Horn&#39;s son William became a magnate in the Canadian railroad industry.</p><br>
<p>By 1873, the East Side had a reputation as the most prestigious in the city. The region was anchored by the Jacob A. Henry Mansion; Henry was a wealthy railroad tycoon. The first churches in the area, the Central Presbyterian Church and the Richards Street Methodist Church, were built soon afterward. Commerce flourished on Washington street after a row of commercial structures were constructed. However, the area was hit particularly hard by the Great Depression. Many mansions, including the Jacob A. Henry Mansion, were converted into boarding houses or funeral parlors. The east side failed to recover from the depression; remaining houses were converted into multiple-family homes or abandoned. The construction of Interstate 80 in the 1960s revitalized Washington Street, but did little for the residential areas. In 1975, Joliet financed a program to assist East Side home owners to rehabilitate their homes. The district was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.</p><br>
<h2>Selected structures of significance</h2><br>

<p>The Conyers Residential Historic District is an irregularly-shaped historic district in Conyers, Georgia, the only city in Rockdale County, Georgia, located 24 miles east of Atlanta. The district&#39;s development dates from the 1840s.</p><br>
<p>It has examples of high style architecture, including the Pierce Home Place (c. 1840s) Greek Revival style, at 988 Milstead Avenue.</p><br>
<p>Atlanta architect Neel Reid designed the Langford House (1913, see photo 1), at 900 Main Street, which has a mix of Classical Revival and Italian Renaissance styles. It has identical side porches and a front porch with a columned portico.</p><br>

<p>Presbyterian Church (1918, see photo 35), Late Gothic Revival, with granite veneer,</p><br>
<p>Macedonia Baptist Church (1925, see photo 26), Late Gothic Revival, with granite veneer, and</p><br>
<p>Baptist Church (1938, see photo 9), has elements of Classical Revival, red brick, which has a columned portico main entrance.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990. It was deemed significant for its architecture and in the area of community planning and development, the latter "because it reflects how a small railroad town grew to accommodate not only the railroad but also the major roads leading to other nearby towns. It was this irregular growth, rather than a planned grid pattern, which became the core of this district. The district developed in a radiating pattern from the wedge-shaped central business district. Railroad, Main, and Milstead are the three main arteries where development occurred."</p><br>
<p>In 1990, the district included 120 contributing buildings, one other contributing structure, and 16 non-contributing buildings.</p><br>
<p>Buildings at 104–116 West Water St. were a set of historic commercial buildings located at Elmira in Chemung County, New York. They included a 3-story, four-bay building ; a -story, 14-bay Second Empire style building built about 1870 ; and a 2-story, five-bay Streamline Moderne building . The building at 104 W. Water was built in 1934 as an S. S. Kresge variety store.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2008.</p><br>
<p>Two of the buildings were deemed to be safety hazards and demolished in 2014 after failed attempts to renovate them. During this demolition an adjacent building was damaged and it and the third building were subsequently demolished in 2015, opening up a half-acre parcel for potential development. In 2018 construction of the 100 West Water Street project began on the site.</p><br>
<p>Scotchtown Cemetery is a historic vernacular rural cemetery located near Erin in Chemung County, New York. The cemetery includes a variety of monuments dating from the cemetery&#39;s founding in about 1880 to the present, with the majority before about 1950. Prior to 1880, the land was a burial ground for the local Presbyterian church.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2009.</p><br>

<p>The house is on West Wesley Road in the Peachtree Heights West neighborhood, an area with many other historic properties.</p><br>
<p>Joliet YMCA is a historic building in Joliet, Illinois, United States.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Joliet YMCA was founded in April 1882. Like other chapters, Joliet YMCA promoted the health and welfare based on Christian principles. Their first building was on Clinton Street, but struggled to remain financially viable. It was closed in 1901, and the building was sold to cover debts. In the 1920s, Illinois YMCA again wanted to place a building in Joliet. The plan for a new building came at a time of great prosperity for Joliet in the Roaring Twenties. A fund-raising campaign raised the $450,000 required to cover the building expenses, with $200,000 from the United States Steel Corporation.</p><br>
<p>The seven-story building was designed by the sons of Daniel H. Burnham. Though never matching the success of their father, the Burnham brothers designed several buildings, most notably the Carbide & Carbon Building. YMCA opened on September 30, 1928. Several groups occupied the building, including Rotary Club, Lions Club, and Boy Scouts of America. Use of the facility for women was initially limited, but in 1933 a Woman Division annex was proposed for the building. The Great Depression put these plans on hiatus and the wing was not added until 1950.</p><br>
<p>The Fort Stamford Site, site of Fort Stamford, is a public park at 900 Westover Road in the Westover neighborhood of Stamford, Connecticut. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975. With a clear view of the Mianus River and Long Island Sound, the fort was built as part of a ring of defenses to defend the New England Colonies from attacks by the British garrison in New York City.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<h3>American Revolution</h3><br>
<p>During the Revolutionary War, Fort Stamford was built as part of a ring of forts (others at New Castle, New York and White Plains, New York) by George Washington</p><br>
<p>to aid in the defense of Connecticut from loyalist raids. The fort in its current form was designed by the engineer who constructed West Point, Rufus Putnam. General David Waterbury oversaw the construction in 1781. At its peak, the fort was home to 800 soldiers.</p><br>
<p>Some form of military camp or fortification existed at the site prior to the construction of the current fort. During the February 26, 1779 raid on Greenwich by William Tryon, General Israel Putnam rode to Fort Stamford to rally reinforcements. Tyron crossed the Mianus Bridge on the old Bedford Road (current day Mianus Road/Valley Road), but quickly retreated after seeing the size of the Forts garrison. Troops from the fort then met Tryon in battle near Palmers Hill and the Mianus River. A planned flank attack down what is now Westover Road from the Fort never materialized due to misunderstanding of the commanding officer&#39;s orders.</p><br>
<p>On July 2, 1779 during Banastre Tarleton&#39;s raid on Pound Ridge, New York, the 2nd Regiment of Light Horse under Colonel Sheldon prevented the fort from being directly attacked.</p><br>
<p>Later in the war, roughly 300 men manned the fort. When the war ended, the fort was considered no longer necessary, and was promptly sold. In later years, residents of the neighborhood began referring to Fort Stamford as "Fort Nonsense."</p><br>
<h3>As a Private Residence</h3><br>
<p>The area encompassing Fort Stamford was a private residence known as Fortland Farm, owned for some time by the Ogden family.</p><br>
<p>In 1926, the Stamford Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution dedicated a monument at the site. After a reception at Stamford Yacht Club, there a procession of automobiles up Westover Road to the site, where a fife and drum band played as the monument was dedicated. The monument itself was dedicated by Jean Parker Waterbury, a descendant of General David Waterbury who built the fort.</p><br>
<p>In 1928, stockbroker Marcus Goodbody, founder of Goodbody & Co. moved his family to the property. His wife Virginia constructed the Italianate Garden that still stands on the property, now known as the Goodbody Garden.</p><br>
<h3>Fort Stamford Park</h3><br>
<p>The City of Stamford purchased 5-acre property in 1972 from the Goodbody family, and the park features some of their garden structures in the formal Goodbody Garden maintained by the Stamford Garden Club.</p><br>
<p>In its current state, the Fort&#39;s parapets are mostly worn away. The remains of three of the four bastions are still visible.</p><br>
<p>The Fourth Ward Historic District encompasses an early urban residential subdivision of Greenwich, Connecticut. Extending north from United States Route 1 along Sherwood Place, Church Street, and adjacent streets, it is one of two subdivisions created before the arrival of the railroad in Greenwich in 1848. It is characterized by dense residential construction, with architectural styles from the Greek Revival to early 20th-century styles. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Fourth Ward area is located near an early commercial district in Greenwich, that arose along the Boston Post Road (now US 1) during its period as an important stagecoach and travel route. It was developed in 1836 by William Sherwood as an area of moderate-income housing, a contrast to the higher-style upper-class housing that then lined the Post Road. Lots were laid out with narrow frontage, and the early houses that were built there were stylistically more modest. Sherwood laid out Sherwood Place (then called Mechanics Street), and the northern and western parts of the ward, including Church Street and parts of Northfield, Division, and William Streets, was developed in the 1870s. This later development was characterized by slightly larger lots and houses, and includes the district&#39;s finer examples of period architecture.</p><br>
<p>The historic district 28.4 acre in size In 2000 it included 159 contributing buildings. The two oldest houses in the district are Greek Revival John Knapp House from 1837 and the John Kirk House from 1838. Most of the buildings are single and multifamily residences; construction in the early 20th century was predominantly multifamily buildings, either two or four units in size. Almost all of the buildings are of wood-frame construction, 1-1/2 to stories in size, and are in a diversity of architectural styles. Non-residential buildings include First Baptist Church on Northfield Street; the district also includes the former site of Greenwich&#39;s first Roman Catholic church, which is now a playground.</p><br>
<p>The Cementerio Municipal de Mayagüez, also known as Cementerio Viejo, was constructed in 1876 in Mayaguez, Puerto Rico.

The outskirts of the cemetery are defined by brick walls and niches, the area is divided by two streets that intersect. Following an 1872 law the cemetery provided separated areas intended for non-Catholics and for the poor, located in the east.</p><br>

<p>The USA Post Office in Joliet, Illinois, is a two-story, building designed by James Knox Taylor. Plans for the Post Office were made in 1899 when Congress approved $100,000 for its construction. The property was purchased from the Robinson family for $15,000. Joliet&#39;s rapid growth in the early 20th century necessitated an expansion, and Congress allowed $185,000 for additional land purchase and post office expansion. This was the last major structural change to the building. It operated as the post office for Joliet from 1903 until 1981, when a new building was constructed. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places the year it closed.</p><br>
<p>The Upper Bluff Historic District is a set of 616 buildings in Joliet, Illinois. Of these 616 buildings, 517 contribute to the historical integrity of the area.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The oldest building in the district is the Campbell House, erected around. The property was owned by Charles Reed, who operated a grist mill on the Des Plaines River. Campbell enjoyed the view from the bluff overlooking the rest of the growing city. He later sold the property to Joseph Campbell, who constructed a mansion on the site. Following his death, his wife Barbara Campbell held on to the property until forced to subdivide it in 1863 to alleviate the tax burden. This became the first subdivision in the historic district. Charlotte Anne Strong further divided the properties, taking particular care in preserving the environment.</p><br>
<p>Only a few houses were constructed in the district in the next thirty-five years. The Italianate Fox House was constructed in 1885 and may have attracted other residents to the area. Eleven houses were built on the Upper Bluff from 1888 through 1889, a trend that would continue through the 1890s. Joliet flourished in the early 20th century, further attracting residents to the region. The main commercial district was along Bluff Street, on the west side of the Des Plaines River. Upper Bluff&#39;s proximity to the commercial district likely influenced a period of growth of neighborhoods similar to the Joliet East Side Historic District. Some East Side families relocated to the Upper Bluff as pollution from industrial growth in the east increased. The demand for housing was large enough as to attract multiple-family dwellings on the west half of the district. However, Joliet was hit hard by the Great Depression in the 1930s, hampering further development. The Upper Bluff Historic District was added to the National Register of Historic Places on June 5, 1991.</p><br>
