<p>The Seaside is a historic medical facility at 36 Shore Road in Waterford, Connecticut. It is nationally significant as the first institution designed for heliotropic treatment of children suffering from tuberculosis. Its buildings "comprise an exceptional collection of fully realized and generally well-preserved Tudor Revival-style institutional architecture", which were designed by Cass Gilbert. and The property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1995.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The facility was originally built to treat children with tuberculosis and was later used as an elderly home, medical hospital, and a facility to treat the mentally disabled. In the 1930s, it opened for children with tuberculosis. Then in 1958, it was used as an elderly home for three years, after which it was used to treat people with developmental disabilities until 1996.</p><br>
<p>The Waterford property where the Seaside Sanatorium would stand was commissioned in 1930 by The State Tuberculosis Commission. The 28-acre property was purchased from the heirs of the Smith-Grimes estate. More land was purchased in 1936, bringing the property to its current boundaries, totaling 36 acres at a cost of $125,000.</p><br>
<p>The Seaside is actually the second “The Seaside” to stand for the heliotropic treatment of tuberculosis in children. The first site was at the White Beach Hotel at Crescent Beach in neighboring Niantic, Connecticut. The original sanatorium received its first patients by January 1920. Being the first and only treatment center for tuberculosis in the country, its 45 beds quickly filled and the waiting list began to grow. The State Tuberculosis Commission knew they had to expand but were unable to do so because the McCook family, who owned the neighboring property, refused to sell. The state went as far as the Supreme Court to try to seize the land through eminent domain. The McCooks won the lawsuit, however, and the state sought land elsewhere.</p><br>
<p>The facility&#39;s current property became available and the state purchased it. Famed architect Cass Gilbert was commissioned to design the buildings. The Waterford facility was ready and the Niantic patients transferred in 1934. The location of the center, the first of its kind in the nation, was chosen because of the fresh sea air and ample sunlight. At the time, it was thought that fresh air and much sunshine could help cure tuberculosis. The children, all 14 and under, would spend their days outside sunning as part of their heliotherapy. By the end of the 1940s, advancements in drug therapies were being made and the usefulness of sanatoriums declined.</p><br>
<p>In 2014, Governor Dannel Malloy made a final decision to rebuild the Seaside Sanatorium as a state park. Four years prior, Malloy had signed a contract with the developer, Mark Steiner, who filed a $20 million lawsuit against the state after Malloy&#39;s announcement.</p><br>
<p>In 2023, the State of Connecticut authorized funding to remove the deteriorated buildings, protect the site from flooding and commemorate its historical significance, and make improvements for the public such as adding walking trails and bathrooms. In July 2024, Connecticut’s Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP) solicited public input into the redesign of Seaside State Park.</p><br>

<p>The J.H.C. Petersens Sons Store also known as the Petersen Harned-Von Maur Store Building and the Redstone Building, is a historic building in Davenport, Iowa, United States. It was individually listed on the Davenport Register of Historic Properties and on the National Register of Historic Places. In 2020 it was included as a contributing property in the Davenport Downtown Commercial Historic District. The former department store building was modeled on the Rookery Building in Chicago.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>J.H.C. Petersen was an immigrant from Schleswig in present-day Germany where he was educated until he was 16. After settling in Scott County, Iowa he worked in farming and at a match-factory. He and his three sons Max, Henry, and William opened a dry goods store in 1872. By 1875 they were handling both wholesale and retail lines of merchandise from Chicago. Branch stores were opened in Clinton, Iowa and Geneseo, Illinois in the 1880s. The J.H.C. Petersens Sons Store was built in Downtown Davenport in 1892. The structure was designed by Frederick G. Clausen, a German immigrant who moved to Davenport. It followed the latest marketing principles of the day with specialized departments under one roof. The three sons took over the stores operations at this time. During this same time period, several competitors established operations in the city. J.H.C. died in 1910 and Max and Henry died in 1915. The following year William sold the store to one of their competitors, Harned and Von Maur Co. In 1928 the J.H.C. Petersens Sons&#39; store was consolidated into the Petersen-Harned-Von Maur Store and it ceased independent operations. The Redstone Building, however, would continue to house the flagship store well into the 20th century, keeping the Petersen name until 1989.</p><br>
<h2>Today</h2><br>
<p>In June 2004, the River Music Experience opened in the Redstone Building. The River Music Experience is a non-profit museum focused on music, including jazz and blues, inspired by the river. A couple of years after opening, the River Music Experience focused more on live performances on the second floor. Today the building also features Mojo&#39;s coffee shop, a restaurant, and office space.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The Petersens Sons Store is a small-scale version of Burnham & Roots Rookery Building in Chicago. It is a local example of the late 19th-century development of the department store. The structure is four stories in height and built of stone on a brick foundation. It features round-arched arcades around groups of vertical windows and the nameplate decorated in terracotta on a slightly projecting entrance frontispiece. Diaperwork spandrels are located between the windows. The building culminates in elaborate parapets with oversized finials. At the roofline is a traditional brick cornice and the spandrels above the third floor arches are plain. The first floor storefronts were altered, but have since been restored.</p><br>
<p>Hotel Arthur, also commonly known as the Traction Terminal Building, is a historic, six-story building in Aurora, Illinois. It was originally designed as a hotel to service travelers on the Fox River. The Aurora, Elgin and Chicago Railroad relocated their headquarters here in 1915, and the building became the final station on the Aurora branch.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Renaissance Revival building was constructed in 1905 and initially functioned as a hotel. John Knell, Sr., a beer wholesaler who immigrated from Germany, commissioned the building in 1904. Upon completion, Hotel Arthur was the tallest building in Aurora, surpassed in 1917 by Hotel Aurora. It was the only hotel on the east side of the Fox River. The hotel was designed by Eugene Malmer and named after Arthur Knell, the brother of the owner.</p><br>
<p>In 1915, the Aurora, Elgin and Chicago Railroad leased the building serve as their headquarters. Renamed the Traction Terminal Building, the first floor was converted into a waiting station and diner. Other professional entities, such as health care practices and insurance offices, also moved into the building on upper levels. Later that year, the building passed to John Knell, Jr. Like his father, Knell was a successful businessman and was president of the All-Steel Equipment Company for forty years. The twenty-year lease to the railroad ended in 1935, but the Traction Terminal name stuck with the building. It continued to house small businesses on the ground floor and practices on upper floors. Storefront windows were installed in 1937.</p><br>
<p>The building prospered through the 1950s, until new highways diminished the demand for rail traffic. With decreased usage of the Aurora train system, the downtown area fell into disrepair. The upper floors were abandoned in the 1960s and the last business moved out of the ground floor in 2003. The building is currently being converted into a condominium complex. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on March 15, 2005.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The exterior is pressed red brick with Indiana Limestone courses above and below the second floor and above the fifth floor. Windows on the other floors have limestone sills. The southern (Galena Blvd.) elevation has ten windows per floor while the eastern (Broadway Ave.) elevation has four windows per floor. The east side originally had eight windows, but the 1906 and 1912 additions to the west side of the structure provided an additional two. Most floors have wood-framed double hung windows, while the sixth floor has arched windows. A decorative cornice adorns the top of the building with a dentil course. The cornice is mostly limestone, except for the area above the additions which is metal. A metal fire escape runs along two of the windows on the Galena Blvd. facade. The first floor was originally rusticated limestone before it was replaced with glass storefronts in 1937. The northern facade is blocked by an adjacent building on the first three floors. The remaining floors are undetailed brick, but do have double-hung windows matching the southern facade. There is also a faded paint advertisement on this side. Similarly, the western facade is blocked on the first two floors with windows and a faded painted sign. The ground floor was remodeled in 1966 to become a restaurant. The upper floors, which have hardwood floors, are accessed through a door on Broadway.</p><br>

<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1995.</p><br>
<p>The Marshall County Courthouse is located in Marshalltown, Iowa, United States. The current building was completed in 1886 to replace an earlier building. The courthouse is a dominant landmark in downtown Marshalltown. It was individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972. In 2002 it was listed as a contributing property in the Marshalltown Downtown Historic District. It is the third building the county has used for a courthouse and county business.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Initially, county business was carried out in the homes of county officials. The first county seat was Marietta, located a few miles northwest of Marshalltown, and the first courthouse was built there. The single-story frame structure measured 32 by. It was sold for $175 when the county seat moved to Marshalltown.</p><br>
<p>The citizens of Marshall, as the town was then called, wanted the county seat moved there so they had a courthouse built free of charge. The two-story brick building with a stone foundation measured 60 by, and was built by hundreds of people from the community. It was built facing the town square on its east side in 1858 and opened in 1860. County offices were on the first floor and the courtroom was on the second floor. By the mid-1870s it was in disrepair. Voters, however, rejected initial attempts to replace it.</p><br>
<p>In 1881 citizens of Marshall County voted for a $100,000 courthouse to be built on the public square in Marshalltown deeded by Henry Anson. David Wood Townsend contracted and oversaw the building of the new courthouse. The cornerstone of the new building was laid in 1884 and the new courthouse was dedicated in 1886.</p><br>
<p>The building was designed by John C. Cochrane, whose firm had designed the State Capitol Building in Des Moines. The courthouse was constructed using native limestone over brick. On November 21, 1972, the building had been placed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>In 1973 the State Fire Marshall ordered the building repaired or removed. The Courthouse had been well maintained until the market crash of 1929. During the Great Depression and war years, taxpayers could not afford to pay for needed repairs, so the building began to deteriorate. The Friends of the Courthouse Committee, a newly formed organization, decided to save the building. A referendum was held and it was decided to restore the courthouse. In 1974 voters approved a $3.2 million bond issue to pay for the renovation. The renovated Courthouse was rededicated on November 19, 1978.</p><br>
<p>The courthouse was damaged in a tornado on July 19, 2018, which ripped the spire from the top of the building&#39;s cupola. The building also suffered water damage because of the storm. Initial repair costs of $15.5 million were raised to $30 million by June 2019. The increased costs include improvements to the building beyond the insurance-funded repairs. The dome was removed on May 13, 2019, for repairs and it was replaced by a temporary roof. On March 31, 2020, a new dome was lifted into place.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The 2½-story limestone structure is built on the raised basement of rusticated stone. The center pavilion projects from the main facade and extends beyond the roofline with three statues at the top. A portico with four columns rises to a balcony at the second story on the north elevation. Pedimented wall dormers surround the building at the roofline. A hip roof caps the structure. In the center is a high square limestone tower with a clock, dome, and small cupola at the top. It rises to a height to 175 ft. The interior features a rotunda with a dome, columns, terrazo floors, and carved woodwork. The courthouse is located in the center of the town square.</p><br>

<p>St. Josephs Indian Normal School is a former school for American Indians in Rensselaer, Indiana. The school building is now known as Drexel Hall and part of the Saint Josephs College campus. Boarding schools were believed to be the best way to assimilate them into the white culture. The school lasted from 1888 to 1896 and was funded by the USA government and Catholic missionaries. It was believed that this was the best way to "civilize" Native Americans and the western territories. Established by the Catholic Indian Missions with funding from St. Katharine Drexel, the school taught 60 Indian children. The Society of Precious Blood operated the school during its years of operation. The students were all boys. When the Indian School was closed, the building was named Drexel Hall. It is one of the first structures of Saint Joseph&#39;s College.</p><br>
<p>The Indian school was essentially a red brick structure with the ground floor surrounded with a sandstone wall. It was built in a square, 80 ft on each side. The square courtyard in the center, it being around 30 ft on each side. Each wing had four floors with the east wing only three floors high. The roof was red tiles. The main entrance was on the west. It was owned by the Bureau of Catholic Indian Missions in Washington, D.C.</p><br>
<p>It was a boarding school for Indian boys with space for 70 boys, their classrooms, playroom, dormitory, kitchen, a small chapel, rooms for the superintendent and a teacher or two and for around six Sisters (nuns) who ran the kitchen. An inspectors report said there were 29 rooms in all. Although the building served as an Indian school for only eight years (1888-1896), it was not changed or altered until 1937 when it was re-modeled to serve as a residence hall for Saint Josephs College. Only the bell tower was removed along with the shutters from the windows. On the inside, it was altered. The courtyard was made smaller to allow an extra row of rooms. Drexel Hall later housed some offices of Saint Joseph&#39;s College, before and after the college announced a suspension of operations in 2017.</p><br>
<h2>Significance</h2><br>
<p>It represents a time when the country hoped to solve the Indian question by off-reservation schools. Here Indian pupils would be assimilated into white man&#39;s culture. The boys would then convert their own people when they returned home</p><br>
<p>It was designed in imitation of the Carlisle Indian school of Carlisle, Pennsylvania, founded nine years earlier</p><br>
<p>It was a "contract" school, i.e., one of the many private schools once supported by an annual federal per pupil subsidy to promote Indian education, therefore a relic of an era of state-church partnership now largely forgotten</p><br>
<p>It was the only Catholic off-reservation school of this type</p><br>
<p>It was one of only two such Indian schools in the state of Indiana, the other being White&#39;s Manual Labor Institute at Wabash, Indiana, also a "contract school" of the Society of Friends</p><br>

When it was completed it housed courts of the United States District Court for the Northern District of Alabama and the United States Post Office. A major addition was added in 1934, and the post office moved to a different location in 1962. In 2019 construction began at a site on Gurnee Avenue for a new Federal Building, with a design in part derived from the old building.</p><br>
<p>The Dry Mills Schoolhouse is a historic schoolhouse on Game Farm Road in Gray, Maine. Built about 1857, it is the town&#39;s last surviving single-room district schoolhouse, and is now a local museum. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places listings on December 13, 1996.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Dry Mills Schoolhouse is set on the north side of the main access road to the Maine Wildlife Park in northern Gray. It is a single-story wood frame structure, with a front-facing gable roof, clapboard siding, and a granite block foundation. Its modest Greek Revival styling includes paneled corner pilasters rising to a short frieze board, and short corner returns. The main (south-facing) facade is relatively unadorned, with the entrance centered below a now-closed opening in the gable, with a flagpole mounted in front of it. The interior has a vestibule across the southern side, which opens into the single classroom, which has vertical wainscoting below slate chalkboards.</p><br>
<p>The schoolhouse was built about 1857, and served as the district 3 school (out of 12 districts). It was used as a primary school until 1959, and was adapted for use as a preschool facility in the 1970s. In 1990 the building, including its foundation stones, was relocated to the present location from its original site on Maine State Route 26, about 1.5 mi away. It is the last of the town&#39;s district schools to survive. In the early 1990s it was restored to its original condition except for an outhouse that used to be attached to the building. The restorations cost approximately $12,000. There is a period wood stove, original chalk board and furnishings on the inside. There are also class pictures and textbooks of the time.</p><br>
<p>The school is now known as "The Dry Mills Schoolhouse Museum" and is still owned and operated by the town. The museum portrays a one-house schoolhouse of the mid-19th century. It is open to the public June through September on the weekends, but groups (such as school or camp field trips) are always able to visit.</p><br>
<p>The Old Main Post Office in Athens, Alabama, also known as Washington Street Courthouse Annex, was built in 1933. Located one block from the Courthouse Square, the Neoclassical building was constructed by the Works Progress Administration. The front is divided by 8 Doric columns. Granite stairs flanked by original cast iron lamps lead to 3 sets of doors in the center bays. The lobby features marble floors, wainscoting, pilasters, and door trim.</p><br>
<p>The post office was converted to a courthouse annex in 1979. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
<p>Auburn City Hall in Auburn, Alabama, built in 1933, is the city hall of Auburn, Alabama. It was originally constructed as a post office in 1933, and, like many post offices constructed during the Great Depression, the building has a "starved classical" design typical of federal architecture, with symmetrical style and pointed pediments and elements of colonial revival architecture. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places as the USA Post Office in 1983.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The site for the post office was deeded in 1846 by Auburn founder John J. Harper to Simeon Perry, agent for the Auburn Academy (today Auburn High School), for the use of the male division of the Academy as a separate school. In 1856, this school became the preparatory department of the East Alabama Male College (today Auburn University). After the USA Civil War, the preparatory division moved to the main campus of the college and the building briefly became a chair factory before Auburn High School (then operating as the Auburn Female College) took over the structure around 1870. An adjacent two-story brick structure for Auburn High School was built just south of the old school building in 1899, and the old school building was subsequently razed. When Auburn High moved to a new campus in 1915, the brick structure became the Auburn Grammar School until it was torn down in 1931 to make way for the post office building.</p><br>
<p>The City of Auburn donated the school site for the construction of a $90,000 post office in 1933, which received first class status in 1940. The building served as the post office for the city of Auburn until a new facility was constructed in 1991. In 1992, the City of Auburn purchased the building, renting the structure to the Food Bank of East Alabama, before renovating it as City Hall in 2001.</p><br>
<p>The Cordova Post Office and Courthouse is a historic government building at 612 2nd Street in Cordova, Alaska.

<p>The Cooper Landing Post Office, formerly known as Jack Lean&#39;s Store, is a historic building located in the town of Cooper Landing, Kenai Peninsula Borough, Alaska. Cooper Landing was established after prospector Joseph Cooper discovered gold in the 1880s where the Kenai River meets Kenai Lake. The chalet-style building was built c. 1910-20 as a simple log cabin, and was enlarged in the 1920s and 1930s, probably not acquiring its distinctive facade until the 1930s. Its facade is adorned with hunting trophies such as caribou and moose antlers. The building has been relocated a short distance to the west, along with the historical Ridderford School, and is now part of the Cooper Landing Historical Museum.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.</p><br>
<p>The former Swedish Baptist Church is a historic building located on the east side of Davenport, Iowa, United States. The congregation was organized in 1883 in the city&#39;s Swedish neighborhood and included about 50 people. The building was originally a Presbyterian Church and was moved here from its original location at Eleventh and Scott Streets. In the 1920s it became Second Baptist Church and by the 1930s it was renamed Grand Avenue Baptist Church. The building subsequently housed other denominations, including the Mennonites, and now houses Kingdom Generation Church.</p><br>
<p>The church building is a simple frame building with Greek Revival and Romanesque Revival elements. The structure is more typical of 19th century rural and small-town Iowa Protestant churches rather than those found in an urban center. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<p>The Sitka USA Post Office and Court House, also known as the Sitka Post Office and now serving as Sitka City Hall, is a Moderne style building located at 100 Lincoln Street in the center of Sitka, Alaska. One of eight Federal buildings constructed in the Alaska Territory in the 1930s, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1997.</p><br>
<p>It is a poured-concrete structure that is rectangular in shape, set on a raised basement. The reduced-width second level gives the building the appearance of having wings on either side. The building was historically accessed through an entry on the first floor, about 10 feet above street level, and accessed via symmetrically placed stairways. Its main entrance has since been relocated to the basement level. The main block is divided into five bays, each of which has slightly recessed windows, with a decorative panel between the first and second levels.</p><br>
<p>The building housed a number of federal offices, and housed the Sitka Public Library as well between 1938 and 1943. The post office took over the entire first floor in 1963, and was moved in 1986 to a location outside the city center, despite public protests. The building then sat vacant until the city took it over for use as city hall in 1993.</p><br>
<p>The Sam B. Hall Jr. Federal Building and United States Courthouse, formerly known as the Marshall Federal Building and USA Post Office, was built in 1915. It is a Classical Revival building designed by Oscar Wenderoth  and George Shaul.</p><br>
<p>It is used as a courthouse by the USA District Court for the Eastern District of Texas. The courthouse was renamed in 1994 to honor state representative and district judge Sam B. Hall Jr. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2001.</p><br>
<p>Weidmann&#39;s Restaurant is a historic restaurant in Meridian, Mississippi, United States, established in 1870. It was originally listed as a contributing property to the Meridian Urban Center Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979. The Urban Center Historic District was combined with the Meridian Depot Historic District in 2005 to become the Meridian Downtown Historic District.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Weidmanns was opened in 1870 by Felix Weidmann, an immigrant from Zurich, Switzerland. Previously an ocean liner chef, Weidmann began the establishment as a restaurant-hotel called the European House. Weidmann was later involved in the hotel business, establishing the International Hotel on the corner of 22nd Avenue and Front Street in 1884. After Felix Weidmanns death in 1885, his son, Phillip Weidmann, took over the restaurant. Phillip moved the restaurant to a location at the intersection of 24th Avenue and 5th Street and renamed it "Taft and Weidmanns". During World War I, the restaurant was moved to Hattiesburg, Mississippi, for two years in order to better serve soldiers at Camp Shelby. The restaurant would also occupy a location on 5th Street before moving to its current (and original) location on 22nd Avenue in 1923. Henry Weidmann, Phillips son, took over the establishment after Phillip&#39;s death in 1927.</p><br>
<p>In 1935 the celebration for Fred and Al Keys record-breaking endurance flight, which lasted 653 hours and 34 minutes and wasnt broken until 1973 by astronauts, was held at Weidmanns. Shorty McWilliams, husband of Gloria Weidmann, owned the store in 1955. Gloria Chancellor and her husband, great-great grandchildren of the founders, assumed ownership of the restaurant in 1989. Weidmanns would remain owned by someone in the Weidmann family until the 1990s.</p><br>
<p>The restaurant, which is the oldest in the state of Mississippi, became one of the most well-known restaurants in the state as well, famous for its black bottom pie, peanut butter crocks, and numerous pictures hanging on the walls. The restaurant&#39;s lunch counter has been in place since the business opened, and a "treasure chest" is filled with candy and other goodies given to reward children with good manners.</p><br>
<h2>Renovations and ownership change</h2><br>
<p>In 2001 Southern Cast Products, a manufacturing company in Meridian, bought the restaurant. Weidmanns closed later that year and underwent a $20 million renovation. The downstairs entrance was moved from the southwest corner to the northwest, and two banquet rooms were added on the second floor. After the renovation, the lease was held by Nick Apostle, owner of Nicks Restaurant in Jackson, Mississippi. He operated the store until 2004 when he decided to devote his full attention to the Jackson restaurant, after which general manager Willie McGehee and others in Meridian assumed full operational control.</p><br>
<p>With the onset of the Late-2000s recession, the restaurant experienced a downturn. Nearly half of the restaurant&#39;s business came from large parties of workers from local hospitals and pharmaceutical companies. As part of the recession, though, many of these companies stopped paying for these dinners, so the workers were no longer able to eat there. In an attempt to garner support for the restaurant and to keep it from failing, the Alliance for Downtown Meridian urged people to eat there at least once a week.</p><br>
<p>Despite the Alliances efforts, the restaurant closed its doors on April 17, 2010. In early June of the same year, Charles Frazier, manager of Crescent City Grill, bought the lease to the building. Frazier said he planned to recreate the restaurants past by reintroducing much of the classic Weidmann&#39;s menu after it had been replaced by more expensive fine dining during the previous renovation and ownership change. Frazier reopened the restaurant in late July after adding hardwood floors and bringing back the lunch counter by knocking out the back wall. Two former employees were also rehired to give the restaurant a feeling more reminiscent of the past.</p><br>
<p>Cathedral Historic District is a nationally recognized historic district located in Dubuque, Iowa, United States. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985. The district was the first residential area in Dubuque, and developed into a tightly knit neighborhood. It is located west of the original commercial district and below the bluffs of the Mississippi River that rise steeply to the west. Although its original structures no longer stand, its historic buildings are largely from the mid to late 19th century. St. Raphael&#39;s Cathedral complex, from which the district receives its name, was important in serving immigrants, including most of the Irish immigrants to the city, and in building ties. In 1985, the district was deemed to have retained "most of its original character and fabric" from the late 1800s. Washington Park , J.H. Thedinga House , Fenelon Place Elevator , and Redstone  are all individually listed on the National Register.</p><br>
<p>The Thomas and Isabella Moore Clyde House is a private house located at 50325 Cherry Hill Road in Canton Township, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2003.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Hugh R. Clyde settled in Canton Township in 1825, and in 1826 married Eliza Huston. Hugh R. Clyde died in 1831, and his wife Eliza Huston Clyde died in 1838, when their property went to their son, Thomas. The house was probably built by Thomas Clyde c.1845 as the taxes jumped from $3.14 in 1844 to $8.02 in 1845. Thomas Clyde married Isabella Moore on August 22, 1850, hence "Thomas and Isabella Moore Clyde" House. The Clyde family occupied the house until 1858, when it was purchased by John Huston II, Eliza&#39;s nephew. In 1924, the house was purchased by William and Jennie Houk, who lived in it while constructing a new brick house on the property. When their new house was finished, they moved the Clyde House across the street.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Thomas Clyde House is a -story clapboard upright and wing Greek Revival house on a concrete foundation faced with rock. The two wings form an unusual asymmetric facade. The east wing is positioned flush with the main upright section; the west is recessed to allow for a front porch; a second porch fronts the upright section. The two porches have thick square posts with pierced-work brackets between them.</p><br>
<p>Van Ornam & Murdock Block, also known as Lee House Block, is a historic commercial block located at Port Henry in Essex County, New York. The block consists of four attached structures in the Italianate style built between 1874 and about 1880. It is the focal point of the Port Henry business district. The Van Ornam Block was built in 1874 and is a -story brick building with an ornately bracketed wood cornice. The 4-story Lee House Hotel was also built in 1874 and is a 4-story brick structure. The next building was built about 1880 and is a 2-story wood-frame building with a stamped metal facade. The Harlan building is last on the block and it was also built about 1880.

<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.</p><br>
<p>The former St. Marys Rectory is a historic building located in Iowa City, Iowa, United States. Now a private home, the residence housed the Catholic clergy that served St. Marys Catholic Church from 1854 to 1892. At that time the house was located next to the church, which is four blocks to the west. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1995.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>St. Marys parish was founded in 1841 by the Rev. Samuel Charles Mazzuchelli, OP. He bought two lots for the church on Jefferson Street. Mazzuchelli, however, did not reside in Iowa City, nor did many of the early priests, who served multiple parishes and were based elsewhere. The first resident pastor, Rev. Anthony Godfert, served in Iowa City from 1842 to 1844. The second pastor, the Rev. B. M. Poyet (1848–1850), and the third pastor, the Rev. Francis P. McCormick (1851–52) resided in Iowa City, but there is no mention of a rectory in church records. The Rev. Mathias Hannon arrived at St. Marys as an assistant and became pastor in 1852. He served St. Mary&#39;s until 1855. It was during his pastorate that the front two rooms of both floors were built in 1854. The rectory was constructed to the west of the original church on the north side of the property along the alley. The home was built for $1,100. The rooms on the back side of the house were added two years later.</p><br>
<p>Following Father Hannon, other clergy who lived in the rectory included the Revs. Mathias Michael (1855–1858), William Emonds (1858–1890) and John F. Kempker (1890–1891). It was during Father Kempker&#39;s brief pastorate that the rectory was moved four blocks to its present location in the 600 block of East Jefferson Street. In 1892 the Rev. A.J. Schulte built the current rectory on the same lot as the old rectory for $8,000. It, along with the church, is also listed on the National Register of Historic Places. After this home ceased to house clergy it became a private residence. It has been used has both a single family and multi-family house.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The dwelling is a simple wood-frame structure with a side gable that was built on a limestone foundation. The 33 by structure sits 70 ft from the street. It is a rare example of a vernacular form of the Greek Revival style found in Iowa City. It has four rooms on each floor. The porch is believed to be from 1891 when the house was moved to its present location, although the house had a porch when it was located on the church property. The main entrance on the first floor is framed by sidelights and a transom. The second floor entrance-way that opens onto the balcony on top of the porch is original to the structure.</p><br>
<p>Dickinson House is located on Brickyard Road in Alloway Township of Salem County, New Jersey, United States. The house was built in 1754 and was documented by the Historic American Buildings Survey  in 1939. The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on February 20, 1975, for its significance in architecture.</p><br>
<h2>History and description</h2><br>
<p>The two and one-half story brick house was built in 1754 by John Dickinson, who was a great, great, grandson of John Fenwick, a Quaker who settled here in 1675. John and Mary Dickinson&#39;s initials and house date are shown on the south gable. The patterned brickwork features ornate shapes in blue glazed brick and has been described as "almost baroque in design and absolutely unique" according to the nomination form.</p><br>
<p>Benjamin Holmes House, also known as Holmeland, is located on Fort Elfsborg-Hancocks Bridge Road in Elsinboro Township near Salem in Salem County, New Jersey, United States. The oldest part of the house was built. The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on August 31, 1978, for its significance in architecture, government, and military history.</p><br>
<h2>History and description</h2><br>
<p>The original property expanded over 1,600 acres, with a ferry running to New Castle, Delaware. It now is 180 acre. The original house was built, but was looted and burned by the British during the American Revolutionary War. It was later rebuilt by Colonel Benjamin Holme, adding the east section of the house. Holme had fought in the Battle of Quinton&#39;s Bridge. The two and one-half story brick house features Jersey Georgian architecture.</p><br>
<p>The William E. Ward House, known locally as Ward&#39;s Castle, is located on Magnolia Drive, on the state line between Rye Brook, New York and Greenwich, Connecticut, United States. It is a reinforced concrete structure built in the 1870s.</p><br>
<p>Ward, a mechanical engineer, built the house with his friend Robert Mook to demonstrate the viability of the material for building. It is the first reinforced concrete building in the United States.</p><br>
<h2>Building</h2><br>
<p>The house is located in a residential neighborhood a short distance from where state highway NY 120A leaves the state line for a southwesterly heading into downtown Port Chester. Most of the house&#39;s 8 acre lot is located on the Connecticut side of the state line, where it is open and slopes downward to the east and the Byram River. Because of this it is possible to see Long Island Sound from the house. A short driveway leads in from Magnolia Drive on the Rye Brook side.</p><br>
<p>The building itself is made entirely of reinforced concrete, from the foundation to the mansard roof that caps the two-story main block. Wood was used only for door and window frames. A four-story crenellated tower with decorative machicolation rises above the southeast corner. Like the house it has imitation quoins on the corners of its lower two stories. A one-story wing projects to the west.</p><br>
<p>A wraparound porch with round columns covers the south (front) elevation of the main block. The eastern two-thirds and tower are in Connecticut; the western third and wing are in New York. The mansard roof is pierced by classically inspired gabled dormer windows and two concrete chimneys; a third is on the west side. The roofline is marked by a modillioned cornice. On the north (rear) a two-story service wing connects to a water tower, stylistically similar to the house&#39;s tower. Another small wing projects from the east, overlooking the parking area.</p><br>
<p>The first floor has a central hallway with drawing room, reception room and dining room. A breakfast room and sun room are in the wing. Another central hall on the second floor leads to three bedrooms and a library with decorative woodwork in an Elizabethan mode. Above it is a similar floor with bedrooms and storage space.</p><br>
<p>The only other building on the property is the caretaker&#39;s cottage. It is a two-story frame house built in the late 19th century and located in a grove of trees to the north of the main house, in New York. The period landscaping on the property includes a variety of ornamental trees.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Ward worked in collaboration with architect Robert Mook over three years to build the house. His goal was not only to build a house for himself, but that it be effectively fireproof. It was made entirely of Portland cement and light iron I-beams and rods, even in the roof. Wood was only used for door and window frames and their decorative trim.</p><br>
<p>Mook contributed a design in keeping with the tastes of the time. The main block and its mansard roof are in high Second Empire architectural style, and the more Gothic tower allows for panoramic views over Long Island Sound. The other tower is a water tower, meant to offer additional fire protection as well as a drinking supply. The architect and engineer left the concrete unfinished to better display it.</p><br>
<p>Architectural publications carried articles about the house as early as year before construction was finished. Its completion in 1876 prompted even longer articles, and mentions in overseas publications. Seven years later, in 1883, Ward presented his own paper on the house&#39;s construction to the American Society of Mechanical Engineers.</p><br>
<p>Sometimes called the first known reinforced concrete building in the United States (although the Coignet Building in Brooklyn, New York was completed over the winter of 1872-73) critics and scholars have recognized its importance since then, calling it "one of the most remarkable achievements of building art in the century" and "a technical tour de force". Wards neighbors were less sure, calling it "Wards Folly" at first, certain it would collapse or otherwise be ruined, but later calling it "Ward&#39;s Castle" when it survived. It has remained mostly unaltered, save for the two modern wings, ever since.</p><br>
<p>From 1976 until 1992 the unaltered castle housed the Museum of Cartoon Art established by Mort Walker two years earlier. Walker bought the dilapidated building for $60,000. He repaired the house and ran the museum with his family. It attracted up to 75,000 visitors per year.</p><br>
<p>The Ward House was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.</p><br>
<p>The Frank M. Scarlett Federal Building is a federal building of the United States located at 805 Gloucester Street in Brunswick, Georgia. Completed in 1959, it houses both a United States Post Office and operations of the United States District Court for the Southern District of Georgia. In December 1973, Senator Herman Talmadge introduced a bill in the United States Congress to rename the facility for segregationist district court judge Francis Muir Scarlett; this bill was passed into law on January 2, 1975. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2014. The east side of the building was remodeled in 2015-16.</p><br>
<p>The Holmes–Hendrickson House is located at 62 Longstreet Road, adjacent to Holmdel Park, in Holmdel Township of Monmouth County, New Jersey, United States. The historic Dutch-Flemish farmhouse was built around 1754. It was documented as the Hendrick Hendrickson House by the Historic American Buildings Survey  in 1939. The house was moved from its original location, on the Bell Labs Holmdel Complex, in 1959. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on April 26, 1978, for its significance in agriculture and architecture. The house is one of several houses owned and operated as a historic house museum by the Monmouth County Historical Association.</p><br>
<p>The Allen House is located in the borough of Shrewsbury in Monmouth County, New Jersey, United States. The historic house, which would later function as a tavern, was built around 1710 as a second residence for the Stillwell family of New York. Richard, a wealthy merchant, and his wife Mercy had eight children who were brought up primarily in Shrewsbury. By 1754, after Richard and Mercy had died, their heirs sold the property to Josiah Halstead who transformed the home into the Blue Ball Tavern, "the most noted tavern in Shrewsbury." Taverns served as community centers in the 18th century as much as places to drink and eat. The Vestry of Christ Church held meetings there as did the Shrewsbury Library Company and the Monmouth County Circuit Court.</p><br>
<p>During the American Revolutionary War in 1779, a Loyalist party raided the tavern where Continental troops were quartered. They killed 3 and captured 9 in what would become known as the Allen House Massacre. The house is furnished to reflect its use as a colonial tavern.</p><br>
<p>The tavern was added to the National Register of Historic Places on May 8, 1974, for its significance in architecture and military history.</p><br>
<p>The house is one of several houses owned and operated as a historic house museum by the Monmouth County Historical Association.</p><br>
<p>Covenhoven House, also known as General Clinton&#39;s Headquarters, is located at 150 West Main Street in Freehold Borough of Monmouth County, New Jersey, United States. The house was built around 1752–1753 by William and Elizabeth Covenhoven. The builder of the historic Old Tennent Church was retained for the job, and began work right after the completion of the church. In 1778, General Henry Clinton occupied this house as his headquarters from June 26 to the morning of June 28, prior to the Battle of Monmouth that day.</p><br>
<p>Clinton chose the house because it was clearly the finest home in the area. When he arrived there, he realized that Mrs. Covenhoven had already prepared for their visit. The house was devoid of the fine furnishings one would expect in such a home. The valuables had been hidden away in the woods, and the silver and china had been buried in the yard under some rose bushes. Clinton convinced Mrs. Covenhoven that her fine things would not be safe in the woods. If she returned them to the home, he said, they would be under the protection of the British army. She finally acquiesced, and the hidden wagon load was brought back to the house. According to a complaint she filed with the courthouse, she stated that once the wagon arrived, she was not allowed to bring anything inside the home. By morning, the entire wagon had been thoroughly ransacked, and virtually everything was pilfered except for a few insignificant items. One small act of mercy from Clinton was that he refrained from destroying the home; unlike the army, which had burned down several homes in the immediate area.</p><br>
<p>Covenhoven House, listed as the Hankinson–Moreau–Covenhoven House, was added to the National Register of Historic Places on May 1, 1974, for its significance in architecture, art, and military history. The house is one of several houses owned and operated as a historic house museum by the Monmouth County Historical Association.</p><br>
<p>The Seabrook–Wilson House  is located at 119 Port Monmouth Road in the Port Monmouth section of Middletown Township in Monmouth County, New Jersey, United States. The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on October 29, 1974, for its significance in social history and transportation.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The original house was built in 1663 by Thomas Whitlock, who came to the North America in 1641, first living in Brooklyn. It no longer exists. It started out as a -story, one-room cabin, and Whitlock lived here with his family. The house was turned into a two-story home by its second owner Thomas Seabrook, who was a patriot in the New Jersey militia. Over the years the Seabrook family added to the original structure. The home stayed in the Seabrook family for a total of 250 years.</p><br>
<p>Listed on the New Jersey and National Registers of Historic Places, the Seabrook–Wilson House is one of the oldest surviving houses in the Bayshore. The Seabrook‐Wilson House began as a small cabin about 1720 and over the years was expanded and altered many times by later generations. By 1896 (photo left) the house had grown to its present size and appearance.</p><br>
<p>For most of its history, the farm on Sandy Hook Bay was home to generations of two prominent Port Monmouth families, the Seabrooks and the Wilsons. Ship owners and captains, a Revolutionary War militia officer, local business owners and investors, and a clergyman were part of these notable families, many of whom served in local government positions.</p><br>
<p>Until the mid-1800s, the Seabrook‐Wilson House stood alone on this stretch of the Bayshore, surround‐ ed by a farm of several hundred acres and salt marsh. With the development of steamboat service and the railroads in the mid‐1800s, the village of Port Monmouth grew up around the steamboat pier and commercial fishing, transforming the area into a bustling port. Tourists flocked to the area for its fresh air, sandy beaches and recreational fishing. By the early 1900s the old Seabrook‐Wilson farmhouse had become an inn for tourists, known first as "Bay Side Manor" and later as "The White House."</p><br>
<p>After almost fifty years as a boarding house and tavern, the Seabrook‐Wilson House stood empty and in severe disrepair by the mid-1960s. Concerned Middletown residents convinced Township officials to purchase the site in 1967 and save the Bayshore landmark from destruction. The Middletown Township Historical Society and, later, the Spy House Museum Corporation, operated the house as a local history museum for over twenty years.</p><br>
<p>In 1998, Middletown Township transferred the property to the County of Monmouth and it became part of the surrounding Bayshore Waterfront Park, which preserves a thriving coastal landscape of salt marsh, dunes, mile of beach and scenic views across the water. Visitors can once again enjoy the historic site and create new memories of Port Monmouth and the Sandy Hook Bay.</p><br>
<p>The house is open to the public from April through October from 1 - 4 p.m. on Sundays only.</p><br>
<h3>Spy House</h3><br>
<p>In attempting to create interest in the building, in the 1960s part-time caretaker Gertrude Neidlinger fabricated a story that the house was a tavern during the Revolutionary War where British troops were spied on by patriots. There is no evidence that the house was ever a tavern at that time. It was a private home. It remained a private home until the early twentieth century. However, the tale caught on and helped keep local interest in the house, probably aiding in preserving the property.</p><br>
<p>The Spy House Museum, which conducted candlelit ghost tours, was creatively alleged to be "haunted" by its part-time curator, Gertrude Neidlinger.</p><br>
<p>The Union Schoolhouse is located at 951 Middletown-Lincroft Road, west of Red Bank, in Middletown Township of Monmouth County, New Jersey, United States. The historic one-room schoolhouse, also known as the Little Red Schoolhouse, was built in 1842. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on June 23, 1976, for its significance in education.</p><br>
<p>The schoolhouse was used for education until 1909, when a larger building was needed. It was then sold to Joseph T. Field. In 1955, the township acquired the property and has leased it to the Garden Club RFD.</p><br>
<p>The Village Inn, also known as the Davis Tavern, is located at the corner of Water and Main Streets in the borough of Englishtown in Monmouth County, New Jersey. The oldest section of the building dates to 1732. It was documented by the Historic American Buildings Survey in 1936, with addendum in 1984. The tavern was added to the National Register of Historic Places on November 13, 1972, for its significance in architecture and military history.</p><br>
<h2>History and description</h2><br>
<p>In 1727, Robert Newell purchased 30 acre, including the site of the house. In 1749, Thomas Davis purchased 130 acre, including the house, from Newell. By 1755, the house is expanded. In 1762, Thomas Davis sells the house to his son, Moses Davis, who later operates it as a tavern. In 1777, the tavern was sold to Daniel Herbert.</p><br>
<p>During the American Revolutionary War, it was George Washington&#39;s Headquarters. Here, on June 30, 1778, Washington started the court-martial of General Charles Lee, for his actions during the Battle of Monmouth.</p><br>
<p>In 1978, it was sold to the Battleground Historical Society.</p><br>
<p>The Village Inn Englishtown is open for tours, 3rd Sunday of each month 1p to 4p.</p><br>
<p>The Winsor Building is located at 400–420 Main Street in the city Asbury Park in Monmouth County, New Jersey, United States. Built in 1904, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places on September 13, 1979, for its significance in architecture, community planning and development.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The original Winsor Building, built in 1904, had a frontage of 67 feet on Main Street and 123 feet on Bangs Avenue. It is a two-story structure made of orange brick and galvanized iron.</p><br>
<p>On the first floor, there are nine stores fitted with show windows. Three stores face main street, alongside a tunnel driveway to the rear while the remaining six stores face Bangs Avenue. The second floor comprises 8 apartments, featuring bay windows. An additional 66&#39; of similar store fronts and apartments were added some time after 1911, making the total length of the building along Main Street 133 feet. This addition consisted of four first floor stores and four second floor apartments and, except for one minor element mentioned elsewhere, is most difficult to tell apart from the original 1904 structure.</p><br>
<p>Bangs Avenue - 1904 section: The bottom floor of the building consists of three double sectioned large high windowed bays with common recessed entrance foyers leading either into a shop or to a stairway to the second story apartments. Each double section is separate from the other by a plain brick column. A cast iron Corinthian column is centrally located in each common entrance. Hardware items such as hinges, mail slots, door bells, speaking tubes and awning brackets are present. A bracketed sheet metal entablature separates the first and second story and is repeated at the cornice with a band of dentils below the.a The nine second story brick columns rising from the entablature are separated equally by eight sheet metal four windowed bays with wooden panels below the windows. A semi-circular brick arch caps each of the eight bays.</p><br>
<p>Main Street:</p><br>
<p>A similar façade pattern is repeated along Main Street except that 8 bay windows are present with an additional two windows in a small bay. This two window bay is assumed to be located over the 1904 tunnel entrance to the rear courtyard. The latter addition (north of the tunnel) consists of 4 second story bays. This section has no cast iron columns in the first story recessed store entrances but each entrance floor is decorated with an inlaid pattern weave of white tile with a green border. Similar hardware items, such as those mentioned before, are present. Recessed wooden panels and transoms are located in logical sequence throughout the entire façade. Some of the capitals are missing on the second story Bangs Avenue side and have been covered with flat metal sheeting.</p><br>
<p>The Winsor Building is an Excellent example of a well designed commercial apartment investment property from the early 1900s, with typical business stores on the first floor and apartments on the second floor. The façade of the building is unusual in that it has survived for 75 years with little if any changes, due possibly to the fact that the building was owned, operated and maintained by family members of the original owner-builder, Henry C. Winsor. Henry C. Winsor was President of the Asbury Park-Ocean Grove Bank and owned or was involved in many development projects in Asbury Park during the period of 1905-1920. The Winsor Building, because of its location and design qualities; continues to exert a positive influence on the downtown Asbury Park business district. The building commands an important corner in Asbury Park across from the 1912 white marble Italian Renaissance USA Post Office and the former railroad station area. It is also close to the central business area of Asbury Park where other similar but seriously altered early 1900 buildings are located. These two buildings - the Winsor Building and the USA Post Office - form the northern outer perimeter of a now redeveloping business area. The present owner of the Winsor Building is in the process of restoring the exterior to its original condition. While most downtown commercial buildings have been modernized or destroyed for parking lots, the Winsor Building remains as a testament to successful commercial structures from the early 1900s.</p><br>
<p>The Water Witch Club Casino is located at the corner of East Twin Road and West Twin Road in the Monmouth Hills section of Middletown Township in Monmouth County, New Jersey, United States. It is near the Waterwitch section of the borough of Highlands. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on August 13, 1990, for its significance in architecture and entertainment. It was listed as a contributing property of the Water Witch Club Historic District in 2004.</p><br>
<h2>History and description</h2><br>
<p>The Water Witch Club was founded in 1895 by Ferdinand Fish, a New York City developer. The name comes from The Water-Witch, an 1830 novel by James Fenimore Cooper. The original casino, built in 1905, consisted of a billiards room and an assembly room. In 1911, it was expanded by adding a clubhouse, designed by architect Lyman T. Ford. The exterior of the building features Colonial Revival/Shingle Style architecture, while the interior features American Craftsman.</p><br>
<p>The Martin Berry House is located in Pompton Plains in Pequannock Township, Morris County, New Jersey, United States. The house was built in 1720 and documented by the Historic American Buildings Survey  in 1939. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on June 19, 1973, for its significance in architecture and settlement. Built by the son of one of the first settlers to the Pompton River region, the pre-Revolutionary War building has been little altered since its construction.</p><br>
<p>Once the home of Medal of Honor recipient James R. Evans, the home was purchased by Pequannock Township for historic preservation in 2017. The Pequannock Township Historical Society, formed in 2014 and incorporated as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit in 2015, has been tasked with the maintenance of the house.</p><br>
<p>The Bowers–Livingston–Osborn House, also known as the William Livingston House, is located at 25 Parsippany Road in the township of Parsippany–Troy Hills in Morris County, New Jersey, United States. The historic house was built around 1752 and was documented by the Historic American Buildings Survey  in 1939. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on June 19, 1973, for its significance in architecture and politics/government.</p><br>
<p>The house was originally owned by Lemuel Bowers, who probably operated it as a tavern. William Livingston, the first governor of New Jersey, leased the house from 1777 to 1780. He returned to his home, Liberty Hall, in 1780. Thomas Osborn bought the property in 1785.</p><br>
<p>The Miller-Kingsland House is located at 445 Vreeland Avenue in the town of Boonton in Morris County, New Jersey, United States. The house was built around 1740 and documented by the Historic American Buildings Survey  in 1938. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on July 24, 1973, for its significance in architecture and exploration/settlement.</p><br>

<p>The Beaumont St. Louis and San Francisco Railroad Water Tank is a railroad water tank or water tower constructed in 1875, in Beaumont, Kansas. It served the St. Louis, Wichita & Western Railway, and was used to refill the boilers of steam locomotives on that line. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1993. A sign at the site claims it was the last water tank used in regular railway operations in the United States.</p><br>
<p>The Beaumont tower became the place where all passing steam trains took on their water and fuel. The nearby Beaumont St. Louis and San Francisco Railroad Retention Pond held the water supply that was piped to the water tank alongside the tracks where steam engines were re-supplied. In the era of steam-powered locomotives, watering stations like this one were essential to railroad transportation.</p><br>
<p>The tower is made from sawcut and milled cypress staves bound by steel bands and has a fifty thousand gallon capacity. The tank is covered by a six-sided shingle roof and is elevated forty feet into the air by eight wooden piers on concrete footings.</p><br>
<p>The eventual adoption of diesel-powered locomotives eliminated the need for large amounts of water. Eventually, the tower fell into disuse by the railroad but it remained vital to the Beaumont community. The pumping station was kept active and pipe was laid throughout the town for potable water supply. The tower continued to hold water and was in limited use until 1988.</p><br>
<p>In 1989, residents of Beaumont formed the "Friends of the Beaumont Water Tower" organization in efforts to preserve the tower. The group succeeded in acquiring the tower from the Burlington Northern Railroad Company in 1996, made repairs to the wooden structure, and took measures to preserve it from environmental damage. In 1998 the concrete foundations were strengthened. The community now holds a yearly water tower festival to raise funds and awareness for ongoing maintenance and preservation efforts.</p><br>

<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In 1929, Traverse City undertook planning to replace the dangerous bridges crossing the Boardman River at Cass and Union Streets. However, the state of Michigan took responsibility for the Union Street Bridge, which then carried US 31. The state surveyed the existing bridge in late 1929, and sent plans for a new structure to the city in July 1930. Bids for the bridge were solicited, and in early 1931 Jackson contractor L. W. Lamb won the contract for $66,482. Additional expenditures brought the total price to almost $78,000. The bridge was completed in 1931, and was praised as an aesthetic success, fitting into its park surroundings and making an attractive gateway for the region&#39;s tourists.</p><br>
<p>Extensive renovation of the bridge is planned in 2023, including replacement of existing concrete deck and steel beams and the installation of a decorative pedestrian railing.</p><br>
