<p>The Glenville School in what is now Glenvil, Nebraska, United States was built in 1903 and extended in 1924 and 1950. It is a simple two-story brick building with classical details. It was designed by Lincoln architect Alfred W. Woods or his firm, and was built by Hempel Brothers. The school included an outdoor play area, which in 1903 was a new idea for rural schools.</p><br>
<p>Preceding the incorporation of Glenville as a settlement in 1873, Glenville&#39;s first school was organized during 1871–72. Like other rural schools, it was a wood-frame building. In 1882, the building was demolished by a tornado and was rebuilt.</p><br>
<p>The Glenville School served as a school from 1903 to 1995. It was the first substantial school in the small village of Glenville, which peaked in population at about 300 in the 1920s, and had declined to about half that in 1998 (although it had grown back to 310 in the 2010 census). It first served just Kindergarten through eighth grade, but 9th and 10th grades were added and, with the 1924 expansion, the school accommodated 11th and 12th grades. This created the Glenville High School.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998. It was deemed significant "for its contribution to educational development in the small village."</p><br>
<p>Both the outdoor playground and the combination of all grades in one school were progressive interests of William K. Fowler, who started in 1900 as the state Superintendent of Public Instruction.</p><br>
<p>Two other Nebraska schools that combined elementary and high schools and are listed on the National Register are the 1897-built Valentine Public School in north central Nebraska and the Steele City School in southeastern Nebraska.</p><br>
<p>The Glover House, also known as the Budd House, is a historic house at 50 Main Street in Newtown, Connecticut. Built in 1869, it is a good local example of Second Empire architecture, and is further notable for the long tenancy of a single prominent local family. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Glover House stands in Newtown&#39;s village center, across Main Street from Edmond Town Hall. It is a three-story wood-frame structure, covered by a mansard roof, with its exterior walls clad in clapboards. The main facade is three bays wide, with a central projecting bay and a full-width single-story porch. The porch is supported by round Corinthian columns, and has a dentillated cornice. Windows are set in segmented-arch openings on the second floor, and the third floor dormer windows are set in round-arch openings under gabled roofs. The interior retains many period features and finishes.</p><br>
<p>The house was built in 1869 for Henry Beers Glover, and its design has been attributed to Silas Beers, whom Glover knew from service on a church building committee. The house was owned by a succession of Glover descendants (whose later generations were named Budd) until 1977. Henry Beers Glover was one of the towns richest men, a successful businessman and banker. William Beecher, who married one of Glovers daughters, was a local attorney and judge of the probate court. Their daughter, Florence Budd, remained in the house until her death in 1977.</p><br>
<p>The John Glover House is a historic house at 53 Echo Valley Road in Newtown, Connecticut, USA. Built about 1708 by an early town settler, it is a remarkably well-preserved example of 18th-century residential architecture, owned for generations by a locally prominent farming family. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2001.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The John Glover House stands in a rural-residential area of northern Newtown, on 2 acre at the junction of Echo Valley and Alberts Hill Roads. It is a -story wood-frame structure, clad in wooden shingles, with a side-gable roof and a large central chimney. A series of additions extend from the rear of the house. The main facade is five bays wide, with sash windows arranged symmetrically around a center entrance. The entrance is framed by a Federal-period surround, with sidelight windows and pilasters to either side, and a fanlight in a semi-elliptical pediment above. The interior follows a typical colonial center chimney plan, with hall and parlor to either side and the kitchen behind the chimney. The building&#39;s construction details reveal an evolutionary growth of the structure, with its second floor probably added in the mid-18th century.</p><br>
<p>The house was built about 1708 by John Glover of Stratford, who purchased land in this area acquired by the towns first proprietors from Native Americans in 1705. Glover became one of Newtowns largest taxpayers, farming the surrounding land and serving in town and colonial legislative offices. Subsequent generations of Glovers owned the property, and continued the practice of farming and civic service. The house was sold out of the family in 1965; at that time, its only modern amenity was a telephone.</p><br>
<p>The former Smith Tavern is located on Bedford Road  in the hamlet of Armonk, New York, United States. It is a red frame building dating to the late 18th century, one of the few left in a region that has rapidly suburbanized over the past century. The Smith family, for whom it is named, did not build it but owned it for most of the 19th century.</p><br>
<p>It has seen many uses over its existence, most of them important to the development of the Town of North Castle. During the Revolutionary War it served as headquarters for the local militia. It was a frequent overnight stop for stagecoaches between New York City and Danbury, Connecticut. Later it was the post office and offices of the town clerk. Yale University owned it briefly, and it was also a parsonage for a nearby church. Two owners renovated it extensively, one reverting an addition made by the other. In 1977 it became the town&#39;s historical museum, and six years later it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>Building</h2><br>
<p>The 2 acre lot the tavern sits on is located on the north side of Route 22, a north-south highway which runs closer to east-west at this point, paralleling the Connecticut state line. It is in a residential area of large and mostly wooded properties a half-mile north along the highway from a commercial area between the junctions with Byram Lake Road and NY 433. A church is to the northeast.</p><br>
<p>A small fieldstone wall separates the building from the road. It is a clapboard-sided building on a stone foundation in three sections. The main one is five by two bays on the south (front) elevation and four in the rear, its two stories topped with a gabled roof shingled in asphalt and pierced by a single brick chimney. On the northeast, the wing that includes the original house is two by two bays and two stories high with a shallow pitched hipped roof. It has been extended to the northwest to create a garage.</p><br>
<p>Ornamentation on the building is minimal. At the roofline there is a simple cornice and returns. The windows have simple wooden sills and lintels. At the center of the first story, the main entrance is a double door with glass transom. The rear entrance is off-center.</p><br>
<p>On the inside the largest rooms on each story are in the southwest section. The meeting room on the first floor has a fireplace, paneling and wide floorboards, both in pine and all original. Other rooms on the floor have their original flooring and late 19th century wallpaper. In the master bedroom above it, museum collection items like tools and toys are displayed. The other bedrooms also have similar decor to their downstairs counterparts.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>It is unclear exactly when the current building was built, but there had been a tavern at the site since at least the Revolution. The local militia was headquartered at a tavern on the site in 1779. The first known owner, a Quaker named Benjamin Hopkins, sheltered refugees from British-occupied New York City there early in the war before himself departing for Fishkill in search of more neutral territory.</p><br>
<p>The British burned his house along White Plains Road in 1779, along with others in Bedford, and may have burned his tavern as well, then occupied by a tenant named Ichabod Ogden. It is possible that the current tavern may have been built around what remained afterwards.</p><br>
<p>By 1792, the tavern was owned by a Benjamin Tripp. Records show that the Town Board of that time met at the town clerks office (his house) and then went to the tavern afterwards. The town clerk, Harrison Palmer, bought the tavern himself in the early 1790s, making the boards post-meeting trip unnecessary.</p><br>
<p>In 1797, Palmer sold the tavern to John Smith, a former Continental Army captain who had spent most of the war as a prisoner. He was elected town clerk the following year. Soon all political activity in the town, debates and rallies as well as meetings of official bodies, took place at the tavern. Since it was located at the 37th milestone along the Danbury Post Road, it was a frequent place for the stagecoach to overnight on the road, and its passengers gave the rural town a connection to events in the city and New England.</p><br>
<p>John Smith ran the tavern, farmed the nearby land and served as town clerk until 1830, when he was succeeded by his son Samuel. In 1809, when the local post office was established there, he was its first postmaster. By the time he left the post in 1855, the rise of the railroad displaced the Danbury stagecoach, and the inn became less locally important, eventually ceasing all commercial function and becoming the family house. Samuel Smith continued to live there and farm the land until his death in 1884.</p><br>
<p>His heirs sold it to Odle Knapp, a successful farmer from nearby Greenwich, Connecticut, who gave it to his son and daughter-in-law as a wedding gift. Augustus and Kate Knapp expanded and renovated the house greatly in 1898. They replaced all the front windows, extended the northeast wing and added a second story to it. A front gable and Victorian porch they added were later removed to restore the tavern&#39;s historical appearance.</p><br>
<p>In 1905 they sold the house and accompanying farmlands to a George Smith of Armonk, unrelated to the original owners. He farmed the land until selling it 11 years later, in 1916. The buyer, Fay Stanton of New York, was taken with the building&#39;s history and tried to revive it as a tavern, the Red Jacket Inn. It failed, and two years it and the remaining 17 acre of the farm were sold at auction to wealthy New York City businessman John Sterling, joining a number of rental properties he owned in the area.</p><br>
<p>Sterling died later that year, and willed the property to his alma mater, Yale University. Almost two decades passed before the trustees of his estate transferred the property. Yale sold it and what was now five acres (2 ha) to Franklin and Frances Brown two years later. They began renovating it extensively, and sold it six years later to another couple, the Datlowes, who continued the renovations.</p><br>
<p>The combined work by the two couples was the most extensive done on the house. The Knapps&#39; porch and gable were removed, and the chimney rebuilt. Inside, much of the wallpaper was removed to reveal the original paneling, and the kitchen and bathrooms modernized. The finished house was painted in its current colors.</p><br>
<p>The Datlowes sold it in 1974 to the nearby Christian and Missionary Alliance Church, which used as a parsonage and meeting place. Three years later, the church decided to build a more modern facility for this latter purpose, and sold the house and the last two acres of its original holdings to the North Castle Historical Society. It was converted into a museum and has remained in that role ever since.</p><br>

<p>The Banta-Coe House is a Dutch colonial-style historic home located on Lone Pine Lane in Teaneck, Bergen County, New Jersey, United States, overlooking the Hackensack River on the campus of Fairleigh Dickinson University. Dating back to the early 18th century, it is one of the oldest remaining colonial-era homes in New Jersey.</p><br>
<p>From the time the house was originally constructed until its purchase by FDU, the home was owned by a sequence of four families. The Banta family owned the house during the 18th century and it was sold to the Coe family in the early 19th century. The Coe family owned the house for most of the 19th century, during which time they renovated the house and added a second story. The house was purchased by the Hampton family in 1940 who resided in the home until it was acquired by FDU in 1993, as its campus was enlarged further south of New Jersey Route 4 along the Hackensack River.</p><br>
<p>When it was acquired by FDU the house had many original features, including hand-hewn wooden floors, though portions of the house had been updated in the 1960s. Plans were made in 2000 by FDU to create an environmental resource center in the house, which would be used to document the historic pollution of the Hackensack River and to document its cleanup and recovery. In 2006, FDU made plans to renovate the home, with possible uses for the home including use as a site for the university&#39;s historical archives of New Jersey on the upper level, while the lower level could be used for exhibition space. $30,000 was raised towards the renovation by the university, which was hoping to obtain a 3:2 matching grant from Bergen County.</p><br>
<p>The house was added the National Register of Historic Places as Building #83001460 as of January 10, 1983, and was added to the New Jersey Register of Historic Places as #172 on November 3, 1980, as part of a "Thematic Nomination of Early Stone Houses of Bergen County".</p><br>

<p>Godillot Place is a historic country estate at 60 and 65 Jesup Road in Westport, Connecticut. The main house, now known as the Lyman Building, built c. 1880 around an 1804 farmhouse, is Westport&#39;s best example of Stick style architecture. The estate also includes a late 19th-century carriage house and guest cottage, all now owned by the town. The property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1977.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Godillot Place occupies a distinctive position among Westport&#39;s cluster of civic buildings on Jesup Road, set on 3.1 acre at the junction with Bay Road just east of the police station. The main house is a -story wood-frame structure, with asymmetrical massing characteristic of the late 19th century. It has a busy roofline that has projecting gable sections and dormers that have decorative shingling and overlaid Stick woodwork. Across the street from the main house stand a carriage house and barn that date to the time of the major alterations.</p><br>
<p>The oldest portion of the house, its western end, was built in 1804 by Ebenezer Jesup for his daughter Abigail. The property was acquired in 1879 by Julia Godillot, daughter of a local merchant and wife of a French importer. The Godillots expanded the estate, landscaping its grounds and constructing several outbuildings, of which the cottage and carriage house survive. The design of the house has been attributed to Palliser, Palliser & Co., a New York City architectural pattern book publisher; it bears some resemblance to a plate in the firms American Cottage Homes pattern book. The property was sold out of the Godillot family in 1920. The house was subsequently used as a boarding house and then divided into apartments. The town purchased the property in 1953.</p><br>
<p>The Two Brothers Roundhouse, formerly the Walter Payton Roundhouse, America&#39;s Historical Roundhouse, and Chicago, Burlington, & Quincy Roundhouse and Locomotive Shop is a historic building converted to a restaurant in Aurora, Illinois. It was originally constructed in 1856 as a roundhouse for the Chicago & Aurora Railroad  and served in this capacity until 1974. It was abandoned until 1995, when a group of investors led by Walter Payton purchased it and converted the building to an entertainment complex. Its most recent tenant is Two Brothers Brewing. The building is the oldest limestone roundhouse in the United States and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The roundhouse was constructed in 1856 to serve Aurora on the Chicago & Aurora Railroad (C&A). The C&A built its own maintenance shops to facilitate further expansion of the rail system westward. The shops were also capable of producing new equipment for the rolling stock. The roundhouse was designed by Levi Hull Waterhouse, who designed several important structures in the Aurora vicinity. The walls of the structure were constructed with locally quarried limestone from Batavia, Illinois. There were originally twenty-two stalls in the roundhouse, with an additional eight added three years after completion. Ten stalls were added at an unknown later date. A small shop was also present in the roundhouse which catered to locomotive engines.</p><br>
<p>The C&A merged with the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Railroad in 1868, which became the most trafficked railroad in Illinois by 1870. In the 1930s, the focus of the complex shifted to the new Zephyr line of diesel engines. It also constructed many passenger cars, including Pullman cars and the very first dome car. As the automobile increased in usage in the mid-20th century, rail traffic declined. The roundhouse and shops closed in 1974; most of the other shops in the district were demolished soon after.</p><br>
<p>The structure was abandoned for twenty-one years. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on February 16, 1978. In May 1988, the American Society of Mechanical Engineers recognized the roundhouse as a landmark in mechanical engineering for its "innovative railroad yard machine shop." In 1995, the Aurora City Council voted to allow an investment group led by former Chicago Bears running back Walter Payton to purchase the building. The building re-opened in 1996 and hosted a brewpub, restaurant, museum, and open-air pavilion. Among the artifacts in the museum is Paytons championship ring from Super Bowl XX. The complex received a National Preservation Award on October 22, 1999, only days before Paytons death.</p><br>
<p>On May 2, 2011 Two Brothers Brewing Company announced via Facebook and Twitter that they had acquired America&#39;s Historical Roundhouse in Aurora Illinois. They opened a restaurant on June 18, 2011, featuring ten of their locally available beers on tap plus an additional two that are exclusive to the establishment.</p><br>

Afterwards, the building was used, in turn, as a hotel and a drug re-hab center. It has now been remodeled as a condominium.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The building was erected in 1927.</p><br>
<p>The bank foreclosed on the clubs mortgage in 1931.

<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The Neo-Romanesque building was designed by the New York architectural firm Clinton Russell Wells George and Holton.</p><br>
<p>The facade was designed as an homage to Freemasonry, particularly by incorporating aspects of biblical descriptions of the Temple of Solomon, a significant building in Masonic tradition. The facade also features many carvings of symbols adopted by the Masons, such as the all-seeing eye, the hourglass, the level, the hexagram, the beehive and the Bible. The door is framed by two large pillars representing Boaz and Jachin, the pillars that stood at the entrance to King Solomons Temple. According to Bruno Bertuccioli, author of The Level Club: A New York City Story of the Twenties: Splendor, Decadence and Resurgence of a Monument to Human Ambition, the building was built as a Replica of the Jewish Temple. Bertuccioli describes the building as "the only true-to-size rendering of King Solomons Temple that exists in the world today."</p><br>
<p>The building&#39;s original grand lobby, featuring a two-story atrium with balcony and grand staircases is intact. The building originally included "a swimming pool, bowling alley, 4,000-seat auditorium, dining halls, gymnasium, racquetball courts, a club floor, billiards room and rooftop gardens." It did not include lodge meeting rooms. While none of these survive, the facade is "perfectly preserved." The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.</p><br>

<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Captain Enoch Lord House is located in northwestern Old Lyme, near the western end of Tantummaheag Road. It is set on about 8 acre of land overlooking Lord&#39;s Cove, a bay on the Connecticut River, and includes a small island in the cove. The house is stories in height, of wood-frame construction, and is covered by a gambrel roof and clapboard siding. The main facade is five bays wide, with a single-story porch extending from the leftmost bay around the left side, and another porch extending across the front of a recessed rightward ell. The main entrance is in the center bay, flanked by pilasters and topped by a transom window.</p><br>
<p>The property was acquired in 1648 by William Lord, then one of the leading figures in the Saybrook Colony. Lord was the son of Thomas Lord, one of the founding settlers of Hartford, Connecticut and the Connecticut Colony. The younger Lord acquired large tracts of land on either side of the Connecticut River, but the family holdings were later consolidated on its east side near "Tatomheag", named for a local Mohegan farmer.</p><br>
<p>The house was built about 1748 by Enoch Lord, the great-grandson of William Lord, around the time of his marriage. Originally located further north on Lord&#39;s Cove, it was moved to its present location in the 1860s by William M. Lord, and was transformed into a Colonial Revival summer house after its purchase in 1898 by Catherine and James Brown. This included the addition of a number of features suitable for country living at the turn of the 20th century, such as French doors. It also included the addition of a number outbuildings and a swimming pool.</p><br>
