<p>The Keith House, also known as Washington&#39;s Headquarters or Headquarters Farm, is a historic house in Upper Makefield Township, Bucks County in the USA state of Pennsylvania. It served as the headquarters for George Washington during the American Revolutionary War and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The 230 acres of land surrounding the Keith House was originally set aside by William Penn for use by his family, but sold it in 1697 to a group of investors after he found people already living on it. The house was likely constructed sometime around 1742, with the land being acquired through an auction by William Keith in 1761.</p><br>
<p>During the American Revolutionary War, the house was headquarters for General George Washington from December 14 to December 24, 1776. It was the location from which Washington planned the crossing of the Delaware River and subsequent Battle of Trenton. Legend has it that the Keith House&#39;s spring house was where double agent John Honeyman was imprisoned to inform Washington of the plans of the Hessian troops in Trenton.</p><br>
<p>The house was kept in Keith family for 133 years. After the death of John Slack Keith, the house was sold to John Paxon in 1893. The property was acquired and owned by Henry Bristol between 1933 and 1946. The house was then sold to James Rendall.</p><br>
<p>The Fulton County Jail, originally the Tryon County Jail, is a historic jail complex located at the corner of Perry and Montgomery Street in Johnstown, Fulton County, New York. The original section was built in 1772-1773 and was placed on the village&#39;s highest ground to give a defensive advantage in case of an attack by Native Americans or a war. At the time, it was thought to be one of the strongest defensive positions in colonial America, due to its placement and the thick wall, which would deflect everything but the very strongest artillery.</p><br>
<p>During the Revolutionary War, it became Fort Johnstown, a military garrison and prison, with the intent of preventing enemy infiltration along the Sacandaga road. A palisade was built to surround it, with four lookout towers at the corners. It was inspected by Lafayette in 1778. In 1781, the fort was the base for 400 militiamen led by Col. Marinus Willet and Capt. John Littel, who harried a British force of 700 Loyalists and Native Americans who were retreating after burning land in the Mohawk Valley.</p><br>
<p>In 1783, the fort was visited by George Washington on his tour of the Mohawk Valley.</p><br>
<p>The original building is a simple five bays wide, two bays deep, stone building with a medium pitched gable roof. The complex consists of the original jail with additions to form a two-story, L-shaped building with a large brick wing attached to the original section and a smaller brick wing to the west. The small brick wing dates to about 1890. The larger wing, known as the sheriff&#39;s quarters, is a two-story, square block with a hipped roof in the Colonial Revival style.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1981.</p><br>

Due to its interwar period architectural significance, the house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on September 9, 2009.</p><br>
<p>The Brigham Young Winter Home and Office is a historic house museum located in St. George, Utah. The home and office once belonged to Brigham Young, the foremost Mormon pioneer and second president of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints . During Young&#39;s later years, his arthritis precluded him from spending winters in the Salt Lake City region, so a winter home in St. George—located in the arid Dixie region of the state—was acquired. He seasonally occupied the property from 1873 to 1877.</p><br>
<p>After Youngs death, the home remained a private residence and was eventually purchased by St. Georges first dentist, Jedediah M. Gates. The Young Family Association acquired the house in 1955, and four years later, it became the property of Utah State Parks and Recreation. The state restored the home, opening it to the public in 1963. The LDS Church acquired the property from the state in 1974, and has since operated the house museum, with its missionaries providing free guided tours.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<h3>Young&#39;s background</h3><br>
<p>Brigham Young was a tradesman from Vermont who converted to the LDS Church in 1830. Joseph Smith, founder of the church, named Young to the first Quorum of the Twelve Apostles and then, in 1839, appointed him quorum president, a high-level position in church leadership. In 1844, a mob killed Smith, resulting in the succession crisis, in which several men claimed the right to lead the church.</p><br>
<p>In early 1846, those Latter-day Saints who chose to follow Young left their homes in Navuoo, Illinois and headed west to establish a new settlement, away from persecution. Young and a band of followers arrived in the Salt Lake Valley in July 1847, where they established Salt Lake City. In the subsequent years, Young assigned groups of Latter-day Saints to establish communities throughout Utah and surrounding areas, convert the natives, and provide infrastructure. St. George was one of these commissioned settlements. Intended to be a cotton-growing colony, the region was noted for its warm temperatures, even in winter.</p><br>
<h3>The house</h3><br>
<p>As Young aged, he found that warm weather helped his arthritis. In the early 1870s, he purchased a home in St. George which had recently been constructed by the Chesney family. After the purchase, a large two-story addition to the home was built, more than doubling the structure&#39;s size, and an adjacent office building was constructed.</p><br>
<p>The home was designed by Miles Romney and its addition was designed by his son, Miles Park Romney. The house has two stories and is constructed of beige adobe brick. The red sandstone basement has two rooms, and the roof gable has wood shingles. Inside, the house has four fireplaces, three made of red sandstone and one from adobe. Inside the home, the church has included a selection of Young&#39;s extant furniture, some of which was built by him, and added other period pieces. Wood for the house was cut from the Mount Trumbull Wilderness and the Pine Valley Mountain Wilderness. The office is east of the living quarters, and features stucco walls and a sandstone chimney.</p><br>
<p>Young first moved into the home in December 1873. His presence in the community motivated the locals to complete the St. George Temple, which was dedicated in 1877.</p><br>
<p>The home was first recognized with a historic plaque added in 1947, by the Daughters of Utah Pioneers. It was also added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1971.</p><br>
<h3>Ownership after Young</h3><br>
<p>Young died on August 29, 1877, and his family eventually sold the home to St. George&#39;s first dentist, Jedediah M. Gates. After Gates died in 1947, his children put the property up for sale. The Brigham Young Family Association, under the direction of Gordon Claridge Young (a great-grandson of Brigham Young), agreed to purchase the home in 1955. The family association, along with the Sons of Utah Pioneers, planned to restore and open the property for tours. Although doing so proved to be too financially difficult for the family.</p><br>
<p>In 1959, the state purchased the association&#39;s equity in the home and paid off the remainder owed to the Gates family, securing title to the property. The state restored the home beginning in 1962, which included moving the front door and a stairway back to their original positions. The restoration was overseen by architect George Cannon Young, a grandson of Brigham Young. The restored home and office were dedicated on June 14, 1963, becoming a unit of Dixie State Park (currently Snow Canyon State Park). Participants in the dedicatory services included State Senator Orval Hafen, and LDS Church leaders Hugh B. Brown and Marion G. Romney.</p><br>
<p>In 1974, the LDS Church and Utah state government agreed to a property trade, in which the state would give Youngs Winter Home and Office (and the nearby Jacob Hamblin House) to the church and in return the church would give the state the historic Brigham Young Forest Farmhouse in Salt Lake City. The church would then operate the two southern Utah homes as historic site visitors centers and the state would move the Forest Farmhouse to Pioneer Trail State Park (currently This Is the Place Heritage Park) where it would be a feature of Old Deseret Village. Youngs Winter Home and Office first opened, under church control, in April 1975, but closed that August for additional restoration work and repairs. After refurbishment, both Youngs home and Hamblin&#39;s home were dedicated by church leader L. Tom Perry on May 29, 1976.</p><br>
<p>On May 31, 2003, the home was reopened following a months-long project to renovate the structure. This project included reinforcing the walls and roof, to make the building better able to survive earthquakes. The home&#39;s exterior woodwork was also painted moss green, its original color. Many historic buildings in St. George were originally painted this shade of green due to the wrong paint color being sent for the St. George Temple, and the early settlers made use of the mistake.</p><br>
<p>Nanna Hubba Bluff is a bluff above the Tombigbee River near Calvert in northeastern Mobile County, Alabama, United States. The historic site is known to have been occupied by Native Americans at least as far back as 1000 BC, but gained its name from the historic-era Nanibas tribe. The Nanibas  are believed by scholars to have been a Choctaw people. They occupied a village here during the early 18th century, until they moved downstream to the vicinity of Fort Louis de la Mobile and were absorbed into the Mobile tribe. Following the relocation of the Nanibas, the bluff came to be settled by early European settlers. During the American Civil War the Confederacy had shipyards at the site. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on October 1, 1974, due to its historical importance.</p><br>

<p>Godfrey Shew immigrated from Germany by way of Rotterdam and England, to Philadelphia in the British Colony of Pennsylvania arriving October 23, 1752. "Godfrey Shew, the father of Jacob Shew, emigrated from Germany to this country, at the age of 19, and just before the French war." "But alas, ere he completed half of his journey, his pleasure was clouded with sorrow. The ship was struck by lightening which caused a leak and all on board were in agony, expecting soon to find a watery grave. No time was lost pumping out the water and devising a plan to stop the leak, which they succeeded in doing the third day by spiking a piece of sole leather over the leak, then placing heavy boxes immediately on to close the valve. The exertion of all was so great that the insides of their hands were, in some cases, worn through to the bone. Although it was not his intention to remain in America, when he left home, after such extreme suffering he resolved when he reached New York "never to cross the ocean again".</p><br>
<p>He served in the French and Indian war at Fort Ticonderoga in New York, returning to Pennsylvania and marrying "Katie" Frey May 10, 1757 in Northampton, Pennsylvania, where their 2 oldest sons were born. In 1862 or 1863 they removed to Johnstown, Tryon County, NY as tenant farmers for Sir William Johnson, British Indian agent for New York.</p><br>
<p>From their son Jacob Shews Revolutionary War Pension application: "Some eight years previous to the commencement of the Revolutionary War, Godfrey Shew, (this applicants father) with his family, removed from Johnstown to a place called Sacandaga at that time; which place is now called Fish-house in the Town of Northampton, on the west branch of the Hudson&#39;s river, about eighteen miles from Johnstown." About 1770 "They built the first house (log) in this village in the north end of the lot wh</p><br>
<p>ere the Methodist Church now stands." During the Revolution, on June 3, 1778 "about 100 of the enemy, Indians and Tories led by Lieut. (afterwards Major) Ross, who had come from Canada", burned their log home and captured Godfrey Shew and 3 of his sons, taking them to Canada for later prisoner exchange.</p><br>
<p>After the war, Godfrey and sons returned to Fish House and build the present exiting frame house in 1784, with various Shew family members living there until March 29 1842 when it was sold to David Page.</p><br>

<p>The Nathaniel S. Wheeler House is a private residence located at 7075 M-50  just north of the village of Onsted in rural Cambridge Township in Lenawee County, Michigan. It was designated as a Michigan Historic Site on July 26, 1974, and later added to the National Register of Historic Places on February 24, 1975.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Nathaniel Wheeler was born in Amenia, New York in 1808. In 1833, he moved to Michigan with his parents and settled on this land, one of the township&#39;s first settlers. It is uncertain when this house was built, but it was approximately 1845. Wheeler married Nancy A. Russ in 1855; the couple had four children. Wheeler and his family sold the farm in 1869 and resettled elsewhere in the county.</p><br>
<p>The house has since gone through a series of owners. These include Alba Chase, who owned the farm from 1893 to 1921. Chase&#39;s daughter Ethel May married Clare Dowling, who owned the house and land until 1972. The house passed through a number of owners in the 1970s, and was restored. It remains privately owned.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The house is a cobblestone -story Greek Revival structure with a perpendicular -story wing. It has both a front and rear porch. The walls are 16" thick and constructed to neatly coursed multi-colored cobblestones. Stone quins are as the corners, and it sits on a rubble foundation with a limestone water table. The gables are wooden with corner returns. There are sixteen double-hing windows with stone lintels and sills. The front door is framed by fluted pilasters and topped with a transom window. Doric columns surround the door.</p><br>
<p>The house was once attached to a much larger 500-acre (202 ha) farm.</p><br>
<p>The Norfield Historic District is a 18 acre historic district in Weston, Connecticut, United States, that was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991. It includes the present-day town center of Weston, which was known as "Norfield" from 1795 to 1920.</p><br>
<p>It was listed for its meeting architectural criteria, and included 16 contributing buildings.</p><br>
<h2>Norfield Congregational Church</h2><br>
<p>Built in 1831, the church is located at 64 Norfield Road and still holds Sunday services. The church property includes the Christian Education Building, a parish hall, a parking area, a memorial garden and a front lawn including the Weston World War II memorial.</p><br>
<p>The Bryn Athyn Historic District is a National Historic Landmark District encompassing an important collection of Arts and Crafts movement architecture in Bryn Athyn, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania. Designated in 2008, it includes three residential properties associated with the Pitcairn family who supported the movement, as well as Bryn Athyn Cathedral, all built by craftsmen employed by the Pitcairns.</p><br>
<p>The district properties are located in the center of Bryn Athyn, on the west side of Huntington Pike (Pennsylvania Route 232), and is roughly bisected by Cathedral Road. On its north side stand Cairnwood and the Glencairn Museum, both built as homes of the Pitcairns, and on its south are the Bryn Athyn Cathedral, the mother church of the General Church of the New Jerusalem, and Cairncrest, another Pitcairn home that now houses church offices.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>John Pitcairn Jr. (1841-1916) was a Scottish-born businessman who built a large fortune through the Pittsburgh Plate Glass Company (now PPG Industries), the first major manufacturer of plate glass. Pitcairn was of the Swedenborgian faith and in the late 1880s sought to establish a major educational and religious center for The New Church. To that end he purchased 500 acre in then-rural Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, north of Philadelphia. He retained the renowned New York City firm of Carrère and Hastings to design his estate, called Cairnwood. Completed in 1895, it is a major residential work in the Beaux Arts style, some of whose principles would inform later work of the Pitcairns. Pitcairn also retained Charles Eliot to landscape and plan the acreage for the family and the adjacent religious institutions.</p><br>
<p>Beginning in 1897, Pitcairn was at the forefront of a schism in The New Church, the outcome of which was the founding of the General Church of the New Jerusalem, a more conservative institution still based on Swedenborgian teachings that continues to be headquartered in Bryn Athyn. The Bryn Athyn Cathedral, its centerpiece, was built through the work of Pitcairns son Raymond and Ralph Adams Cram. The creative workshops established by the Pitcairns for this effort also produced Raymonds house, Glencairn, next to Cairnwood, and Cairncrest, the home of Raymonds brother Harold. The design methods used in these workshops typified the Arts and Crafts movement, emphasizing a collaborative approach between architects and craftsmen, allowing the latter a more inspirational contribution to the final products. Ralph Adams Cram, who was eventually sidelined in the oversight of the cathedrals construction, wrote that "in its inception and its working out, it has been unique, not only in my own experience, but I believe in the architectural history of the last 400 years."</p><br>
<p>The Shambaugh House is a historic house at 12 Old Hill Road in Westport, Connecticut. It is a two-story structure, built out of random coursed fieldstone, with gable-roofed pavilions projecting from its hipped roof. An attached garage, now converted to residential use, is built of similar materials. The house features numerous dormers and projections, general gable roofed with wooden shingles. Windows are typically multipane casement windows, and rafter ends are exposed under eaves. The house was designed by Westport architect Charles E. Cutler and completed in 1923. It is an excellent local example of Tudor Revival architecture.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.</p><br>
<p>The Hotchkiss House in Monticello, Arkansas was designed by architect Sylvester Hotchkiss and was built in 1895. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.</p><br>
<p>It is not far from the Allen House, at 705 North Main, Monticello, also designed by Hotchkiss.</p><br>
<p>Although the National Register application listed 1895 as the year of construction, the house was actually completed in 1903. Hotchkiss did not purchase the land for the house until 1901. As a former owner of the property (from 1989 to 2004) we had the complete chain of title given to us. When the Davis family applied for listing on the National Register they based the year of construction on receipts found in the house for building materials. Since Hotchkiss was a designer and builder, he had receipts for materials from a variety of projects.</p><br>
<p>The Gleim Building, 265 W. Front St., Missoula, Montana, was a brothel constructed in 1893 for Mary Gleim, a notorious madam who owned at least eight "female boarding houses". This building serves as an example of a vernacular adaptation of Romanesque architecture.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Brothels were present along West Front Street but the number expanded considerably after the arrival of the Northern Pacific Railway and its construction crews in the 1880s. The building was built for Missoula&#39;s most prominent madam, Mary Gleim, in 1893 and reflects the impact railroads had on Missoula early in its history. Gleim ran her brothel empire from this building.</p><br>
<p>Gleim stopped running the brothel in 1903 but retained the freehold. The building&#39;s use as a brothel ended in 1916 when the city bowed to public pressure and closed the red-light district. Subsequent owners operated an automobile repair shop and a billiard parlor from the premises for several decades. The building became an adult theater in the 1970s. By the 1980s the building had deteriorated considerably and was bought by architect James Hoffman who restored the building.</p><br>
<p>The building has a plaque on the wall in tribute to Mary Gleim.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The building was built of brick as a precaution against fire, following the fire that devastated the area in 1872.</p><br>
<p>Built in the vernacular adaptation of Romanesque architecture first made popular by Boston architect Henry Hobson Richardson in the 1870s, the building features brick corbelling, arched windows, checkerboard banding, and rusticated granite sills. The building&#39;s facade and its east and west sides have been restored to their original appearance.</p><br>
<h2>Gleim Building II</h2><br>
<p>Mary Gleim also had another of her buildings rebuilt in brick at 255-257 West Front Street, sometime between 1893 and 1902. The red brick building was restored in 1995 by David Paoli and listed on the National Register of Historic Places the same year.</p><br>
<h2>Mary Gleim</h2><br>
<p>Mary Gleim came to Missoula in 1888 with her husband, and quickly saw the potential for prostitution with the large number of railroad workers in the town. She set up brothels one after another in West Front Street and ruled them with a fist of iron, becoming the "Queen of Missoula&#39;s Bad Lands".</p><br>
<p>Commonly known as "Mother Gleim", she was one of Missoula&#39;s characters and eventually owned a considerable number of properties in Missoula and elsewhere. Weighing 300 lbs, Gleim, in addition to brothel-keeping, was reputed to be a smuggler of diamonds, opium, and Chinese railroad workers. Her conviction was overturned after she had served little more than a year in prison.</p><br>
<p>Gleim died in 1914, leaving an estate of $148,000. She left explicit instructions for her burial in the city cemetery. Whilst other headstones faced east and west, Gleim&#39;s faced the railroad so she could say goodbye to the railroad men who were her customers.</p><br>
<p>The Orange Public Library is the free public library in Orange, in Essex County, New Jersey, United States. Serving a population of about 33,000, the library collection contains 150,000 volumes and circulates 56,000 annually.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The library began in 1883 as association library, supported by dues, endowments and donations and opened its current main building, designed by McKim, Mead, and White, in 1901. Across its facade is engraved Stickler Memorial in honor of the son, who had died suddenly a year earlier, of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Stickler, who donated the $100,000 cost of its construction. It was built during the "free library movement" at the turn of the 20th century. In a 1945 referendum the citizens approved support for a free public library, and took over the operations of the building as municipally operated facility. It was added to the state and federal registers of historic places in 1981. In 2010 it was estimated that refurbishing the building, in need of repairs, would cost $1.5 million. Dennis Kowal Architects, historic preservation and library design specialists, developed Preservation Plans to restore the building and update the library services resulting in a Historic Trust Grant. In phase one, the rotunda was opened and phase two is under study.</p><br>
<p>The Charles S. Shultz House, also known as Evergreens, is a historic house located at 30 North Mountain Avenue in Montclair in Essex County, United States. It was built in 1896 and was added to the National Register of Historic Places on July 22, 1979, for its significance in architecture.</p><br>
<p>In the late 1800s, Montclair was changing from a farming community into a wealthy suburb due in part to many wealthy individuals moving from the cities, filled with pollution and crowded streets, to the suburbs, where there was plenty of clean air and open land. Charles S. Shultz, president of the Hoboken Savings Bank, was one of these individuals, moving to Montclair from Hoboken and building his home, Evergreens, in the flourishing city.</p><br>
<p>Built by New York architect Michel LeBrun, the three-story, 21-room mansion was built on the corner of North Mountain and Claremont Avenues in 1896. By 1952, the house had been passed on through three consecutive generations (Charles’s daughter, Emily, being the second owner), leaving Shultz’s granddaughter Marian (Molly) Shultz as the owner of the full property. In 1997 the house was bequeathed to the Montclair History Center (at the time the Montclair Historical Society) and turned into an historic house museum. With all of its original furnishings and family artifacts, the property encapsulated what a wealthy family’s home would have looked like during the late 19th and early 20th centuries in Montclair, New Jersey.</p><br>
<p>Commissioned because of his impressive legacy of work - churches, New York firehouses, the once tallest building in America from 1909 to 1913, and most importantly the Hoboken Bank for Savings in 1890–Michel LeBrun took on the job of building the Shultz home. Earning its name of Evergreens from the evergreen trees that surrounded the property, the forty foot building drew several different inspirations based on Shultz’s experiences in Europe. Asymmetrical with uneven windows, an arched hood, and a veranda were suited to Shultz and to the style of the time. The first floor is made predominantly of masonry in fear of a fire happening. Wanting to incorporate what was considered at the time advanced technology, Shultz wanted his home to have gas and electric lighting, an electric burglar alarm, an enunciator system, an elevator, a heating system, the most current plumbing, and ice box but cautioned the potential dangers of each technology in his home. He took on safety precautions, allowing the house to still remain today.</p><br>
<p>The Charles Shultz House was operated as a historic house museum by the Montclair History Center from 1997-2021.</p><br>
<p>Today the Shultz house is no longer a museum. It is now a private home.</p><br>
<p>The St. George Opera House, also known as the St. George Social Hall, is a historic building in St. George, Utah. It was originally built by the St. George Gardeners&#39; Club as a wine cellar. As wine demand decreased, the building was expanded to host theatrical productions. It operated in this capacity until sold to the Utah-Idaho Sugar Company in 1936. It was restored to an opera house in 1988 and is again open to the public.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In 1861, Brigham Young sent three hundred Mormon families to the south reaches of Utah Territory to establish a new settlement. Young envisioned a Mormon state that was completely self-sufficient, and one important goal in this regard was the production of cotton. The region settled was much warmer than the northern Salt Lake City, and it was thought that this would be good weather for cotton. Unfortunately for the settlers, this was not the case. The climate was too hot during the summer, producing only small harvests of cotton.</p><br>
<p>The original function of the St. George Opera House was a wine cellar. Grape production was an important secondary source of income for the settlers. The St. George Gardeners&#39; Club formed in the mid-1860s to provide community support for farmers. In 1864, as one of their first projects, they built the cellar as a cool place to store surplus wine and to process grapes. It was mostly constructed below-ground along a hillside.</p><br>
<p>As wine demand diminished due to closing mines and pressure from the church, new plans were made for the cellar building. The Gardener&#39;s Club sold it to the Social Hall Company in the late 1870s. Extensions were added on the top and to the west of the main cellar to create a stage and seating for up to four hundred patrons. The performing arts were an important part of Mormon culture, and Young always ensured that artisans were among the families sent when organizing new settlements. Miles P. Romney was president of the Social Hall Company and the St. George Dramatic Association, occasionally performing in some of the plays. Shortly after it opened, Mormon missionaries shipped materials from a bankrupt opera house in New York City to the St. George Social Hall. The hall hosted its first opera 1886.</p><br>
<p>The hall was deeded to the local LDS church in 1900, as it was hopelessly in debt to it. However, the church continued to run productions in it. The Great Depression forced the church to sell the property to the Utah-Idaho Sugar Company in 1936. They used the building to process sugar beet seeds, an important source of income for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. They sold the property to the St. George Neighborhood Redevelopment Agency in 1988, who restored the building to again function as an opera house.</p><br>
<p>The Bartow County Courthouse, built in 1902, is an historic redbrick Classical Revival style county courthouse located on Courthouse Square in Cartersville, Bartow County, Georgia, United States. Designed by the Louisville, Kentucky architectural firm of Kenneth McDonald & Co. together with self-taught Georgia architect J. W. Golucke, who is said to have designed 27 courthouses in Georgia and four in Alabama, it is Bartow Countys third courthouse and the second one built in Cartersville. The first courthouse built in Cassville, while the county was known as Cass County, was burned by General Shermans troops in 1864. In 1867 the county seat was moved to Cartersville and the second courthouse was built in 1873. It proved to be unsatisfactory because court proceedings had to be halted while trains passed by on the nearby railroad. In 1992 a courthouse annex known as the Frank Moore Administration and Judicial Center was completed. While the 1902 building is still used for some court purposes, most of the proceedings are held in the 1992 building.</p><br>
<p>On September 18, 1980, the 1902 courthouse was added to the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>The Suburban Club is a historic clubhouse at 6 Suburban Avenue/580 Main Street in Stamford, Connecticut. It is a three-story brick structure, topped by a flat roof that has a parapet and balustrade ringing it on three sides. The interior features elegant woodwork. The building was one of the first commissions by architects George F. Shepard and Frederick B. Stearns) who worked together until 1950 on many projects. It is architecturally significant as a Neo-Federal work in Stamford, and historically significant as one of the few buildings of the period to survive in downtown Stamford. The Suburban Club, founded in 1890, was a major social center for the city&#39;s elite until its closing in 1935.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.</p><br>
<p>The John Osborne House is a historic house at 909 King&#39;s Highway West in Fairfield, Connecticut. It was built in 1734, according to the tax records. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.</p><br>
<p>It is located adjacent to what was the Pequot Swamp, site of the last battle of the Pequot War of 1637. The house may be located on an 80-acre grant of land to Richard Osborne, father of John Osborne, for his services in that war.</p><br>
<p>The El Dorado Missouri Pacific Depot is a former passenger train station in El Dorado, Kansas, United States. It is a one-story, red-brick structure with a red-tile roof and wide, overhanging eaves designed by E. M. Tucker, Chief Engineer of the Missouri Pacific, in the Mission architectural style.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Constructed in 1918, the depot served the Missouri Pacific Railroad, on a freight-passenger line that ran east from Wichita to El Dorado then on to Eureka Yates Center, Durand, Iola, Moran, Bronson, and Ft. Scott.</p><br>
<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1994.</p><br>
<p>The Alfred A. Schiller House was a historic residence in Glen Ellyn, Illinois. It was originally designed by Schweikher & Elting for Alfred Schiller, a professor at the University of Illinois at Chicago. The house featured very few exterior windows, with the only natural light coming in from a central atrium. The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2008, and was demolished in 2016.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Alfred A. Schiller was professor of physiology at the University of Illinois College of Medicine. His wife, Elizabeth Schiller, was an artist from Wilmette. The Schillers commissioned the architectural firm of Schweikher & Elting to build a contemporary house in the otherwise traditional Chicago suburb of Glen Ellyn. Paul Schweikher was a notable local architect, and the house was among his last works before moving to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Schweikher had previously designed the Donald Berg House in Glen Ellyn in 1947. After moving to Pittsburgh, Schweikher began to primarily design public buildings and strayed away from residential properties. Thus, the Schiller house represented one of his last ventures in this regard. The house was completed in 1954, but Alfred Schiller died only a year later. Elizabeth Schiller then married Charles Wegener, a professor at the University of Chicago, and moved to the Hyde Park neighborhood of Chicago.</p><br>
<p>The house was sold to Louis and Louisa Kaberon in 1957. Five years later, the Kaberons decided to put an addition on the house and contacted Paul Schweikher about designing it. Schweikher instead recommended the firm of Keck & Keck for the job, which was completed in 1964. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on September 3, 2008. After a history of being listed and delisted for sale between 2008 and 2015, the house was sold for the final time on December 16, 2015, and was demolished in 2016. The lot has been cleared and landscaped, and now serves as an extended back yard for a neighboring property.</p><br>
<p>Architecturally, the Schiller house was notable for its lack of windows. It faced east and was almost 100 ft away from the sidewalk. The house formed a square doughnut shape due to a central exterior atrium. The outer walls were 40 x and were built with Chicago common brick with California redwood trim. Most interior floors were terrazzo and interior walls featured African mahogany, possibly a gift from Elizabeth&#39;s father. Walls facing the atrium provided the only natural light with large, floor-to-ceiling plate glass windows. The gardens and courtyard were designed by Mary Moulton, a future librarian at the Morton Arboretum.</p><br>
<p>The Michael Billmeyer House, aka the Bensell-Billmeyer House, is an historic, American twin house that is located in the Mount Airy section of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.</p><br>
<p>The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1972. It is a contributing property of the Colonial Germantown Historic District.</p><br>
<h2>History and architectural features</h2><br>
<p>Built circa 1730 by John George Bensell, it was purchased in 1789 by Michael Billmeyer, the noted printer of Germantown. It is said that it was from this house that General George Washington directed the Continental forces in the Battle of Germantown against the British stronghold at Cliveden.</p><br>
<p>The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1972. It is a contributing property of the Colonial Germantown Historic District. The Daniel Billmeyer House, located across the street, was built by Michael for his son in 1793 and is also listed on the NRHP.</p><br>
<p>The Daniel Billmeyer House is a historic house in the Mount Airy section of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The 1793 section of the house was built by printer and wealthy businessman Michael Billmeyer for his son Daniel.</p><br>
<p>The house was built in two sections. The first was built c. 1730 and was occupied by British troops during the Battle of Germantown. A major focus of this battle was the larger house Cliveden, one block to the southeast, which was also occupied by British troops. The second section of the house, which is visible from Germantown Avenue, was built in 1793 during the yellow fever epidemic.</p><br>
<p>During the later part of the nineteenth century architect Walter Cope lived in the house.</p><br>
<p>The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1971. It is a contributing property of the Colonial Germantown Historic District. The Michael Billmeyer House, located across the street, is also listed on the NRHP.</p><br>
<p>La Glorieta is a historic hacienda in Albuquerque, New Mexico, believed to be the oldest residence in the city. Its exact age is unknown, but it is known to have been standing in 1803 and possibly dates back as far as the 17th century. It has been the home of several generations of prominent New Mexicans: merchant Franz Huning, USA Representative Harvey Butler Fergusson, writer and historian Erna Fergusson, and writer Harvey Fergusson.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In the mid-17th century, a soldier from Mexico City named Diego de Trujillo established a hacienda near what would later become the Albuquerque plaza. The house was partially destroyed in the 1680 Pueblo Revolt, but was rebuilt by the Trujillo family when they returned to the area in the 1690s. According to some sources, this is the same building that was later known as La Glorieta.</p><br>
<p>Franz Huning, a German immigrant and prominent local businessman, bought the property sometime before 1861 and named it La Glorieta (Spanish for "arbor" or "bower"). In 1862, the hacienda was occupied by Confederate soldiers under Henry Hopkins Sibley while Huning was away in St. Louis. Huning returned to Albuquerque in 1864 with a new wife, Ernestine Franke, and moved into the house. During his residence at La Glorieta, Huning added two additional wings to the L-shaped building to create a fully enclosed patio. The house was a popular location for social gatherings and hosted such guests as William Jennings Bryan.</p><br>
<p>In 1883, Huning moved down the street to a new mansion, Castle Huning. He deeded La Glorieta to his eldest daughter Clara on the occasion of her marriage to Harvey Butler Fergusson in 1887. Their four children, including noted authors Erna Fergusson and Harvey Fergusson, grew up there. Since 1942, La Glorieta has been in use by Manzano Day School, a private elementary school. It was added to the New Mexico State Register of Cultural Properties in 1969 and the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture and grounds</h2><br>
<p>La Glorieta is a one-story adobe building with four wings enclosing a central courtyard. The north and east wings are the oldest parts of the house, while the other two wings were added by Huning in the latter part of the 19th century. The house contains about 12 rooms.</p><br>
<p>In the 19th century, the house was part of a 700 acre estate encompassing much of the land east of Old Town. Huning, who was described in Harper&#39;s as "an impassioned tree-planter", landscaped the grounds with a variety of trees and shrubs, including a cottonwood in the courtyard that grew to a massive size. Huning also grew crops in the fields around the house and operated a mill, Molino de la Glorieta, on the property.</p><br>
<p>Today La Glorieta has been surrounded by newer buildings, including the rest of the Manzano Day School campus, and no trace remains of its former surroundings. The cottonwood in the courtyard survived well into the 20th century but eventually became diseased and was cut down in 1984.</p><br>
<p>The Trommald Building is a historic building in Enumclaw, Washington, United States, that was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on August 24, 2000 . It was built in 1915 by Tacoma dry goods merchant Erick G. Trommald for $30,000 adjoining Enumclaw&#39;s first modern office building, the Jensen Building. Trommald commissioned notable Tacoma architects Heath & Gove to plan the structure.</p><br>
<p>The building is significant for its relatively intact architecture, influenced by the Chicago School style. The Trommald building was part of a city beautiful movement in the 1910s and 1920s to replace dilapidated wooden buildings with fireproof brick buildings.</p><br>
