<p>Walter&#39;s Hot Dog Stand is a National Register of Historic Places designated landmark located in Mamaroneck in Westchester County, New York.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Walters is a family business founded in 1919 by Walter Warrington in Mamaroneck, NY. His first stand, on Boston Post Road, was in front of Skinners Floral shop near the-then Central School (now Town of Mamaroneck offices). He sold cider and apples from an orchard he had purchased on Quaker Ridge.</p><br>
<p>Later, Walter moved south on Post Road, in Shepards Field (approximately where Richbell Road now meets Post Road). It was here that he began selling his unique brand of hot dogs, blended from beef, pork, and veal, with the wieners split-grilled. At Shepards Field Walter constructed a cider press to make apple cider.</p><br>
<p>There were blueprints for a stand to be built on an adjacent property on Post Road that would include a residence on the second floor. The property was, however, condemned by the School Board; a junior high school was built in 1926 (now a campus of Mamaroneck High). In 1928 he purchased the property at 937 Palmer Avenue, where his then-new pagoda has been since. The shop was closed for renovations for several months in 2014.</p><br>
<p>The Palmer Avenue building has a pagoda-style copper roof, now oxidized to a light green, and dragon lanterns. It is an example of roadside architecture.</p><br>
<p>Walter&#39;s son Eugene, who owned the business for over 60 years, died in 2017.</p><br>

<p>In 2015, The Daily Meal ranked Walters Hot Dogs #13 in Americas 75 Best Hot Dogs</p><br>
<p>The Hubbard House is a historic home in Hudson, Illinois, one of two houses on the list of United States Registered Historic Places. The other one, located along the same street, was the Gildersleeve House. The Hubbard House is significant as the boyhood home of American writer and philosopher Elbert Hubbard. Hubbard lived in Hudson and attended school there; he stayed in the village until he was 16. The original wing of the house was built in 1857 by a doctor from Buffalo, New York, Silas Hubbard. In 1872 the two-story section of the house was constructed in a typical I-house design. The home has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1979.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The east portion of the Hubbard House was constructed in 1857 by Silas Hubbard, a medical doctor who came to McLean County, Illinois, via Buffalo, New York, in 1855. In 1856, Silas Hubbard and Juliana Frances Read had a son, born in Bloomington. Elbert Hubbard would go on to become a major American writer and philosopher.</p><br>
<p>The Hubbard House was built the year after Elbert was born when the Hubbards moved to Hudson, north of Bloomington. It was in 1892 that Hubbard suddenly gave up the soap industry and decided to become a writer. In 1899 Hubbard published the famous and widely reprinted essay, "A Message to Garcia". By 1913 an estimated 40 million copies had been published.</p><br>
<p>Construction on the Hubbard Houses two-story front elevation began around 1872 at the urging of Mrs. Hubbard who felt the family had outgrown the small cottage that occupied the site from 1857 until 1872. Despite her desires and Silas Hubbards prominent position as the only doctor in Hudson, the family had little money with which to pursue the addition to their home. Hubbard was known not to push his clients for payment. In response, Elbert and his mother pored over Silas records searching for any one they thought might be able to make payment through labor or construction materials. Elbert, already a considerable salesman by 1872, then rode about McLean County to obtain cash, materials and promises of labor from his fathers clientele. Soon the new section of the house was completed.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The current Hubbard House is mostly a typical I-house design but the two-story front (west) section of the house was not constructed until 1872. Until that time the Hubbard family was confined to the smaller, one-story portion of the house. Quarters were cramped during this time. The two-story portion of the house features windows on both sides of the front door and three windows on the second-floor, representing the typical I-house design. Sometime after both sections were completed a bay window was added in the angle between the wings. Elbert&#39;s room was in the attic, a room which still existed when the building was nominated to the USA National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>As the original house became crowded, Mrs. Hubbard concocted her own plans and layout for an additional section to be added to the house. Her plan, according to the writings of her daughter Mary, was for a two-story addition at the front elevation of the building, much as the building appears today. She envisioned a central front hall with a stairway flanked by walnut balustrades and an open parlor with folding doors opening into the living room. Mrs. Hubbards vision for the second floor included two new childrens bedrooms and a spare bedroom.</p><br>
<p>In 2008, the original portion of the house was remodeled. This portion of the structure had severe termite damage and the remodeling included reframing all walls, raising the roof, and replacing modern windows with double-hung, 4 over 4 windows that are consistent in size and style with the other windows in the home. The kitchen was also fully remodeled at this time.</p><br>
<h2>Significance</h2><br>
<p>The Edgar County Courthouse, located in Paris, Illinois, is the county courthouse of Edgar County. The courthouse was constructed from 1891 until 1893; it is the third building to be used as Edgar Countys courthouse. Architect Henry Elliot designed the building in the Romanesque Revival style. The courthouses exterior has four main sides and four entrances situated between each adjacent pair of sides. Each side includes two towers at each end and a central section with a tall gable. Each tower features two medieval dormers. A wedding-cake style iron clock tower, built shortly after the building was completed, tops the center of the courthouse.</p><br>
<p>The courthouse was added to the National Register of Historic Places on June 4, 1981.</p><br>
<p>The France Hotel is a historic hotel located at 118 E. Court St. in Paris, Illinois. The Classical Revival building was constructed in 1924. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The hotel was constructed in 1924 to replace the old Paris Hotel, which was destroyed in a fire in 1918. The hotels construction was sponsored by the Paris Chamber of Commerce and funded by the citizens of Paris; as most hotels of the era were built by private firms, this was considered unusual. The Chamber decided upon the site of the hotel in 1922 and chose the buildings architect, but planning and construction delays pushed the project back into 1923. By September 1923, the Chamber had nearly exhausted its funds, and the hotel&#39;s contractor intended to place a lien on the hotel site if they could not find more money. The citizens of Paris responded by raising $191,000 in a fundraising effort, providing the necessary funds to complete the hotel.</p><br>
<p>Paris was a major railroad junction in the 1920s, as three major rail lines passed through the city. In addition, as Paris was the county seat of Edgar County, it served as the center for county administration and business activities. The hotel therefore became an important meeting place for Edgar County&#39;s citizens and travelers through Paris. Visitors considered the France Hotel to have more modern facilities than any other Paris hotel; these facilities included warm and cold running water, an elevator, and bathrooms in each room. In addition, the hotel included amenities and business such as a barber shop, beauty parlor, coffee shop, banquet hall, and private dining rooms, which served local residents as well as visitors.</p><br>
<p>The France Hotel was added to the National Register of Historic Places on August 3, 1987. The Paris Elks Lodge No. 812 Building, which borders the hotel to the south, was added to the National Register at the same time.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>Architect Ewing Miller, Sr., of the Fort Wayne, Indiana, architectural firm Johnson, Miller & Miller, designed the hotel in the Classical Revival style. The four-story building was built in red brick and uses Bedford limestone in many of its decorations. The building&#39;s entrance is set in smooth limestone and is topped by an arched stone decoration resembling a fanlight. A pair of French doors are located on either side of the entrance; each set of doors is topped by a wooden pediment and stone arches. The upper stories of the building each have six bays of windows; the center two bays are surrounded by vertical courses of limestone, with decorative stone pediments topping the third-floor windows. An architrave is situated above the fourth-floor windows; the architrave is topped by a brick frieze with limestone roundels, which is itself topped by a cornice and parapet roofline. Stone urns rest atop the corners and center of the roofline.</p><br>
<p>The Paris Elks Lodge No. 812 Building is a historic building located at 111 E. Washington St. in Paris, Illinois. The building served as a meeting place for the Paris lodge of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks. The building was constructed in 1927, 25 years after the Paris Lodge was chartered. Architect Everett Blackman, a member of the lodge, designed the building in the Mediterranean Revival style. Blackmans design features an arcade loggia enclosing the front entrance and a square tower with a parapet roof designed to resemble elk antlers. The buildings amenities included a bar and ballroom on the second floor, a bowling alley in the basement, and meeting rooms for the lodge. The third floor of the building housed rooms for the adjacent France Hotel; it was connected to the hotel by a stone walkway and cannot be accessed from the lower floors. The Elks used the building until the lodge filed for bankruptcy in 1978.</p><br>
<p>The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on August 6, 1987.</p><br>
<p>The Pine Grove Community Club is a historic community club located at the junction of 1500N and 1300E north-northwest of Paris, Illinois. The club includes two buildings, a brick schoolhouse and a former church. The school was constructed in the late 1800s, while the church was built in 1891. The club itself was established in the early 1930s as part of a community development program in Edgar County. The program, inspired by the Country Life Movement, sought to develop rural communities such as Pine Grove and improve the quality of life of its residents. While the club initially met in the schoolhouse, it purchased the church for its meetings in 1935 after the congregation folded. The club had 40 members in 1935; the number declined to below 30 by the 1960s, though the club still met as of 1983.</p><br>
<p>The club buildings were added to the National Register of Historic Places on March 30, 1984.</p><br>
<p>The South Fulton Churchhouse is a historic church located on Baden Road roughly two miles south of Astoria, Fulton County, Illinois. The church was built in 1879 for the western body of Astoria&#39;s German Brethren congregation. The church had a frame vernacular design typical of rural Protestant churches built in the late 1800s; its cottage plan design, distinguished by its lack of a tower or ornamentation, was common among early German Brethren churches. Its congregation followed a particularly traditional branch of the German Brethren, and the services held there consisted of Scripture readings, commentary from a preacher, and prayer; the church resisted what it saw as modern developments such as church music and professional ministers. The church was also designed to host the communal love feast, a religious meal which formed an important part of the German Brethren faith; its basement includes a kitchen with a stone hearth.</p><br>
<p>The church was added to the National Register of Historic Places on October 28, 1994.</p><br>
<p>The Orendorf Site is a prehistoric archaeological site located near the city of Canton, Fulton County, Illinois. The site includes four distinct areas of Middle Mississippian settlement; the settlement area was one of seven major sites in the Spoon River tradition. The four settlement sites within the larger site came as the result of a single village relocating multiple times; this movement became useful to archaeologists, as artifacts from different periods are spread out rather than mixed together at a single site. The settlement functioned as a regional center within the Spoon River culture, making it a hub in its hierarchal political organization and part of many important trade routes. Trade and migration linked the settlement to the large Mississippian city of Cahokia; while the settlement&#39;s culture had much in common with Cahokian culture, it was also a distinct regional culture in its own right.</p><br>
<p>The site was added to the National Register of Historic Places on September 13, 1977. It is one of four sites on the Register in Canton, along with the Ulysses G. Orendorff House, the Parlin Library and the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Railroad Station.</p><br>
<p>The Parlin Library is an historic library building at 210 East Chestnut Street in Canton, Illinois, US. The building was built in 1893-94 for the citys library; while the city had earlier had two library associations, both had failed and the city had no public library at the time. William Parlin, Sr., the founder of Cantons most prosperous business in the Parlin & Orendorff Company, bequeathed the money for the library in his estate when he died in 1890; his estate provided US$8,000 for the building and its collection, while an additional $5,000 came from a library tax. The Peoria architectural firm of Richardson & Salter designed the Richardsonian Romanesque library. The librarys collection included 1,000 books when it opened, increasing to 8,000 by 1908; it also included a large art gallery. The library served in its original capacity until 1958, when a new library opened and the old building became Cantons city hall.</p><br>
<p>The library was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1994. It is one of four sites on the Register in Canton; the others are the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Railroad Station, the Ulysses G. Orendorff House and the Orendorf Site.</p><br>
<p>The Ulysses G. Orendorff House is a historic house located at 345 West Elm Street in Canton, Illinois. The house was built in 1902 for Ulysses G. Orendorff, the son of Parlin & Orendorff co-founder W. J. Orendorff; the company, the most successful in Canton, manufactured farming equipment and was later sold to International Harvester. The home is commonly known as "Redcrest" and has an official USA mailing address of same.</p><br>
<p>Architect Robert C. Spencer of Chicago designed the house; Spencer was a apprentice of Frank Lloyd Wright and an early figure in the Prairie School, and the house represents Spencer&#39;s shift toward the Prairie School aesthetic from his earlier Tudor style works. Two large gables on the front of the house are decorated with a wooden grid with rows of windows and geometric patterns; while the design resembles half-timbering on its face, it embodies the horizontal emphasis that became a key feature of the Prairie School. The interior of the house is characteristic of the Prairie School, with natural materials and modern decorative elements.</p><br>
<p>The home was purchased by Eddie D. Walters and his wife Alma K. Wrigley Walters in 1962. The couple owned the property until 1980 when it was sold to their son Micheal W. Walters. He and his wife Susan (née&#39; McPherson) resided there with their two sons, Chris and Cade, until 2002. The property also includes a carriage house with a full basketball court, 18 hole miniature "putt-putt" professionally designed golf course, batting cage, and a six car garage.</p><br>
<p>The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on December 9, 1971. It is one of four sites on the Register in Canton, along with the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Railroad Station, the Parlin Library and the Orendorf Site.</p><br>
<p>The Marion County Courthouse is a Beaux-Arts style building in Fairmont, West Virginia, in the United States. The courthouse was constructed from 1897 to 1900, and was designed by the architectural firm of Yost & Packard of Columbus, Ohio. Its dome is topped by a figure carrying the scales of justice.</p><br>
<p>The courthouse, located at the intersection of Adams and Jefferson Streets in downtown Fairmont, and the adjacent American Foursquare-style sheriff&#39;s residence, were jointly added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1979 for their architectural, artistic and governmental significance.</p><br>
<p>The Skidmore Fountain is a historic fountain in Portland, Oregon, United States.</p><br>
<p>The fountain is a contributing property of and the namesake for the Skidmore/Old Town Historic District, which is also a National Historic Landmark.</p><br>
<p>The fountain has also been designated a Portland Historic Landmark and underwent restoration in 2005.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>It was dedicated September 22, 1888, in memory of Stephen G. Skidmore, a wealthy Portland druggist who died in 1883, and partly financed by his will. It was designed by sculptor Olin Levi Warner for $18,000, all of which was donated. It is styled after fountains Skidmore viewed at Versailles on his visit to the 1878 Paris Exposition and intended for "horses, men and dogs" to drink from. Henry Weinhard offered to pump beer into the fountain at the dedication.</p><br>
<p>The fountain is located near the west end of the Burnside Bridge at SW First and Ankeny streets within downtown Portland. The MAX Light Rail line runs past it and has a nearby stop named after the fountain. When Portland Saturday Market is operating, the open area around the fountain attracts street performers and entertained spectators. The fountain also serves as a gathering point for several Portland events, such as SantaCon, Plunderathon, Zombiewalk and several protest/activist gatherings.</p><br>
<p>In 2003, when characterizing the neighborhood, Portland Development Commission commented, "there are significant public safety issues around the Skidmore Fountain Station under the Burnside Bridge", and said it, "experiences one of the highest drug related arrest rates in the city".</p><br>
<p>The fountain&#39;s base has various inscriptions on its different faces. That on the northwest side is a quotation from C.E.S. Wood: "Good citizens are the riches of a city".</p><br>
<p>The F. D. Thomas House is a historic house located at 321 North Ohio Street in Camp Point, Adams County, Illinois. The house was built in 1917 for F. D. Thomas, a successful local banker. Architect Ernest M. Wood, a prominent architect in the Quincy area, designed the Prairie School house. Wood was influenced by the work of Frank Lloyd Wright, and he was primarily responsible for bringing the Prairie School to western Illinois. The house&#39;s key Prairie School features include a stucco exterior with wooden trim, casement windows, a low hip roof, and an open interior layout.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on July 28, 1983.</p><br>
<p>The John Roy Site is a pre-Columbian archaeological site located roughly 2 mi south of Clayton in Adams County, Illinois. The site consists of a Woodland period village site inhabited from roughly 450 to 650 A.D. five burial mounds are also associated with the site. The site&#39;s upland location is uncommon for village sites from the period, which have mostly been located in river valleys. The location may have been affected by the development of plant cultivation at the time, and extensive seed deposits at the site provide insight into developing agricultural practices. In addition, preserved remnants of woven artifacts have been found at the site; such items are rare and may help explain how weaving developed during the period.</p><br>
<p>The site was added to the National Register of Historic Places on May 22, 1978.</p><br>
<p>The Ebenezer Methodist Episcopal Chapel and Cemetery is a historic church located northwest of Golden, Adams County, Illinois. The church was built in 1858–59 for the local Methodist Episcopal congregation.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The church was built in 1858–59 for the local Methodist Episcopal congregation. The church has a vernacular Greek Revival design; while the style was common in Illinois before the Civil War, the church is now the only one of its type in the county. The church is a white sided building on a limestone foundation; it is topped by a gable roof with a simple entablature at either end. It was built from local timber and hand-hewn with adzes.</p><br>
<p>The interior holds pews in a U-shape, and seating was originally separated by gender. It contains two pot-belly stoves, a pulpit, and a piano.</p><br>
<p>The church&#39;s cemetery, located to the west of the building, has had burials since 1857 and contains both members and non-members of the church.</p><br>
<p>The church is located in a remote rural setting, nearly two miles on unpaved roads from the nearest highway. There is no heat, indoor plumbing, or electricity.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>On October 5, 1858, "George W. Foss, deputy surveyor for the county of Adams, surveyed a tract of land in section 16, belonging to William Willard, for the purpose of transferring it over to a society known as the Ebenezer Chapel Society of the Methodist Episcopal Church."</p><br>
<p>On September 23, 1859, the deed was written by Thomas Crawford, justice of the peace in Houston Township, for the Ebenezer Society for the price of one dollar. The first trustees of the society were elected on December 10, 1858.</p><br>
<p>In 1893, the Ebenezer Burial Ground Association was formed. An additional tract north of the property was purchased to expand the cemetery. In 1925, both cemetery yards were governed by one set of trustees.</p><br>
<p>Ebenezer Chapel Society of the Methodist Episcopal Church was active for nearly a century before merging with Centennial Methodist Church in 1955. The combined congregation currently holds services at the Centennial church, except for the Sunday before Memorial Day which is held in the old Ebenezer Chapel.</p><br>
<p>In 1982, the chapel was in need of repair. A new non-profit was formed called Ebenezer Chapel and Burial Society.</p><br>
<p>The church was added to the National Register of Historic Places on June 4, 1984. It is one of two sites on the National Register in Golden, the other being the Exchange Bank.</p><br>
<p>The Exchange Bank is a historic bank building located in Golden, Adams County, Illinois, United States. The Italian Renaissance style bank was built in 1891 for Harm Emminga. Harm was the son of Henrich Emminga, a German immigrant who had started a prosperous milling business in Golden; Harm continued his fathers business by building both a new grain elevator and the new bank. The bank was originally an office building for the mill, as its offices had historically loaned and held money for clients, but it soon developed into the towns main bank. The building also housed the town&#39;s newspaper, the New Era. In 1905, the bank moved to a new building in downtown Golden, and by the 1920s it had become a prosperous business affiliated with larger regional banks in Quincy; however, it closed in 1930, a victim of the Wall Street Crash of 1929.</p><br>
<p>The bank was added to the National Register of Historic Places on February 12, 1987. It is one of two sites on the National Register in Golden, along with the Ebenezer Methodist Episcopal Chapel and Cemetery.</p><br>

The second floor is T-shaped, with the top of the T fronting on Boston Avenue, while the remaining floors are 50 feet by 140 feet, centered above the ground floor. The building itself is faced with red brick, with white marble ornamentation concentrated at the third, eleventh, and twelfth floors. At the top is an ornate cornice surmounted by a crouching statue of Atlas. The building is seven bays wide at the base, narrowing to three above the second floor to allow some separation from the taller buildings on either side.</p><br>
<p>The building has an area of 86,231 ft&sup2;. The ground floor of the Atlas Life Building is home to the Tulsa Press Club, Baytide Petroleum and The New Atlas Grill.</p><br>
<h2>Building ownership</h2><br>
<p>In 1991, State Mutual Insurance Company purchased Atlas Life Insurance Company and moved all its operations to Georgia. The Pearson Group acquired the building in 1997 from Tulsa Public Schools. On January 6, 2006, the building was sold by the Pearson Group to Navajo Properties LLC, a company affiliated with investor Maurice Kanbar. In 2008, Kanbar sold the building to new owners; it was then adapted for reuse as a Courtyard by Marriott hotel, with a planned opening in June 2010.</p><br>
<p>The Harrison Meeting House Site and Cemetery, also known as the Germantown Church Site and Cemetery or just the Germantown Cemetery, is located on New York State Route 416  right at its northern terminus with NY 211, across from Orange County Airport just outside the village of Montgomery, New York. Note: This includes</p><br>
<p>The first settlers of what would eventually become the Town of Montgomery came here and built their church on this site in the early 18th century. It would later be surrounded with their houses. The church no longer stands, but several of those early settlers are buried within the stone wall around the site. The Town of Montgomery has taken possession after the site was restored from past neglect and added a small interpretive plaque.</p><br>
<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.</p><br>
<p>Springfield Union Station is a former train station in Springfield, Illinois, which is currently part of the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum. The Richardson Romanesque-style station is located at 500 East Madison Street in downtown Springfield, adjacent to the Lincoln Presidential Library. Springfield Union Station opened in 1898 and served trains until 1971, when Amtrak consolidated its services at the former Chicago & Alton depot three blocks west.</p><br>
<p>After the end of train service, Union Station was used by Illinois state government offices and multiple private businesses. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978, and reopened to the public as part of the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum complex in 2007.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Springfield Union Station was designed in the Richardson Romanesque style in 1896 as a combined passenger terminal for several railroads serving Springfield, including the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, Chicago, Peoria and St. Louis Railroad, Illinois Central Railroad, and the St. Louis, Peoria and Northern Railway. Although the structure was intended to be used jointly by these railroads, the Illinois Central was the predominant carrier, and the architect was Illinois Central chief architect Francis T. Bacon. The station was built in 1897–1898 at a cost of $75,000, and opened for business on January 2, 1898. During its 73 years of active service, the station carried substantial passenger train traffic to and from Chicago, St. Louis, and other cities.</p><br>
<p>The vast majority of passenger trains serving Springfield Union Station were operated by the Illinois Central Railroad, although when the station was first opened, Illinois Central only served Springfield on a route extending northeast to Clinton, Gilman and Chicago. In 1899, Illinois Central acquired the Springfield to St. Louis segment of the former St. Louis, Peoria and Northern Railway, allowing expansion of Illinois Central service from Springfield south to St. Louis. On June 17, 1900, two premier trains (the Daylight Special and the Diamond Special) were inaugurated on this route to compete with existing St. Louis–Springfield–Chicago service offered by the Chicago and Alton Railroad. By 1936, the Illinois Central name trains serving Springfield on the same route were the Green Diamond and the Night Diamond.</p><br>
<p>Baltimore and Ohio passenger service through Springfield was secondary in nature, with service over one line from Indianapolis and Decatur to Springfield, and over a second route between Flora, Pana, Springfield and Beardstown. The B&O had been one of the original tenants in Springfield Union Station, but after purchasing the Alton Railroad in 1931, B&O trains were shifted from Union Station to the former Chicago and Alton station. The Indianapolis service was discontinued west of Decatur during World War II, leaving only a single motorcar train serving Springfield on the Flora to Beardstown line. Following the sale of the Alton Railroad to the Gulf, Mobile and Ohio Railroad in 1947, the B&O motorcar train briefly returned to Springfield Union Station before being discontinued on March 24, 1951.</p><br>
<p>The Chicago, Peoria and St. Louis Railroad, another tenant in Union Station, provided passenger service from Springfield to Peoria and from Springfield to St. Louis via Waverly and Alton. After evolving into the Chicago and Illinois Midland Railroad, the company constructed a new passenger depot near the north end of their Springfield yard, almost two miles north of Union Station. Completion of this smaller station allowed C&IM to withdraw their remaining passenger operations from Springfield Union Station in 1937.</p><br>
<p>Springfield Union Station is one of five significant rail terminals which served Illinois&#39; capital city, and it was constructed in a far more ornate architectural style than the more utilitarian design of the other stations (Gulf, Mobile and Ohio; Great Western; Wabash; and Illinois Terminal.) The station was operated as a stub-end terminal by Illinois Central, and passenger trains backed into the station using now removed trackage which extended east along Madison Street to the Illinois Central mainline. This awkward operating arrangement reflected the original Illinois Central configuration with Springfield as an endpoint terminal rather than an intermediate station along a route.</p><br>
<p>One of the more prominent features of Springfield Union Station was a three-story (110 ft) clock tower. The tower made a striking addition to the Springfield skyline, helping the station become an immediately recognizable landmark. The hands on the clock faces were removed in 1936 as an economy move to avoid maintenance of the clock mechanism, and the tower was removed down to its base during the summer of 1946.</p><br>
<p>Passenger train service to and from Springfield Union Station ended on April 30, 1971, when the Governors Special, the last Illinois Central passenger train between Springfield and Chicago, was discontinued as a result of the creation of Amtrak. The train was a shortened version of the Illinois Centrals Green Diamond, for most of the 1960s, the only train serving the station. Amtrak passenger trains continue to serve Springfield from the former Gulf, Mobile and Ohio station, located about three blocks west of Union Station.</p><br>
<h2>Redevelopment</h2><br>
<p>After passenger train service ended, Union Station housed several private businesses before being used for Illinois state offices until September, 2004. The building was extensively restored as the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library visitor center, which reopened in March 2007. As part of the $12.5 million restoration project, the clock tower was rebuilt, substantially returning the station to its pre-1936 appearance. Although the visitor center function was later discontinued, the station continues as an integral part of the ticket-access Lincoln Presidential Library, housing exhibits and audiovisual presentations about Lincoln&#39;s life. An admission fee is charged.</p><br>
<p>District School No. 9, sometimes referred to as the Old Stone Schoolhouse, is located on NY 17A 1.4 mile  south of Goshen, New York. One of the first schools in the county, it remained in use for well over a century, possibly two.</p><br>
<p>Note: This includes</p><br>
<p>and It is believed to be both the oldest and longest-used one-room schoolhouse in the United States.</p><br>
<p>Its year of construction is not known. It falls sometime between 1723, when a local landowner deeded the surrounding 20 acres (8 ha) to the community for school purposes; and 1792, when the Goshen Repository carried an advertisement for a teacher for the school.</p><br>
<p>Legend has it that, during the Revolutionary War, George Washington was riding by on a trip from nearby Florida to his headquarters at Newburgh, and stopped briefly at the school to talk to the children. William Henry Seward, later United States Secretary of State, walked the three miles (5 km) here from the village of Florida to the south for afternoon classes when he was growing up.</p><br>
<p>Long referred to as the Borden Quarry School for a nearby excavation site, it was in use continuously until 1938. Fifty years later it was added to the National Register of Historic Places. It is maintained today by the Minisink Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR), which met there for a while, but only in the summers because the building had no heat or water.</p><br>
<p>In the early 21st century the building developed some issues. The DAR could not afford to maintain it, and by 2010 the roof was in danger of collapsing, with only a blue tarp protecting the interior. The chapter worked with Orange-Ulster BOCES, whose main facility is nearby, to repair it, with DAR buying $5,000 worth of materials and BOCES providing labor. After that, a historic preservationist discovered that the building&#39;s pine flooring was sitting directly on the underlying dirt, creating a serious drainage issue. A combination of grants and donations raised the $40,000 necessary to remedy that problem.</p><br>
<p>The John B. Harper House is a historic house located at 102 N. Lincoln St. in Palestine, Illinois, United States. The home was built circa 1833 and is one of the few remaining buildings from the early settlement of Palestine. The wood frame and brick house features a hall and parlor plan; frame extensions were later added to the back of the home. It was the home of John B. Harper, a blacksmith and farmer who also served as a Crawford County judge.</p><br>
<p>The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on March 15, 2004.</p><br>
<p>The Riverton Site is an archaeological site located immediately west of the Wabash River and northeast of Palestine, Illinois. The site, which dates from the Late Archaic period , is the type site of the Riverton culture. The Riverton culture, of which only three known sites had been discovered as of 1978, inhabited the central Wabash Valley and had distinct methods of making tools. The remains at the Riverton site can be separated into two areas: a manufacturing area with pits and a significant number of discarded tools, and a residential area with the clay floors of homes. The site was first noticed in the 1950s, and Dr. Frank Winters of the Illinois State Museum began excavations at the site in 1961.</p><br>
<p>The site was added to the National Register of Historic Places on December 18, 1978. It is one of three archaeological sites on the National Register in Crawford County; the other two sites, the Swan Island Site and the Stoner Site, were the other two known Riverton culture sites as of 1978.</p><br>
<h2>Early agriculture</h2><br>
<p>The Eastern Agricultural Complex of the United States is one of about 10 places in the world where humans independently domesticated wild plants and initiated agriculture. The Riverton Site is one of the best known and earliest sites of extensive cultivation in the eastern USA By 1800 BCE, Native Americans were cultivating several different native plants at Riverton for food and containers. The cultivated plants were bottle gourd (Lagenaria siceraria), marshelder (Iva annua var. macrocarpa), sunflower (Helianthus annuus var. macrocarpus), and 2 cultivated varieties of chenopod (Chenopodium berlandieri), as well as the possible cultivation of squash (Cucurbita pepo) and little barley (Hordeum pusillum).</p><br>
<p>Ten house sites have been discovered at Riverton, indicating a population of 50 to 100 people in the community. Among the hearths and storage pits associated with the houses, archaeologists found a number of plant remains, including a large number of seeds of chenopods (goosefoot or lamb&#39;s quarters). Some of the chenopod seeds had husks only one third as thick as those of wild seeds. Riverton farmers had bred them selectively to produce a seed easier to access than wild varieties of the same plant.</p><br>
<p>The Swan Island Site is an archaeological site in Crawford County, Illinois, located north of the point where the Wabash River crosses the Lawrence County line. The shell midden site, located on a sandstone ridge in the Wabash River flood plain, was inhabited by people of the Riverton culture in the Late Archaic period. As of 1978, it is one of three known sites associated with the culture, which lived in the central Wabash Valley and had distinct methods of making tools. Archaeologists first found the site in the 1950s, and Dr. Howard Winters of the Illinois State Museum began excavations there in 1961.</p><br>
<p>The site was added to the National Register of Historic Places on December 18, 1978. It is one of three archaeological sites on the National Register in Crawford County; the other two are the Riverton Site and the Stoner Site, the other two known Riverton culture sites as of 1978.</p><br>
<p>The Stoner Site is a substantial archaeological site in the far eastern portion of the USA state of Illinois. Discovered during the Great Depression, the site has produced large numbers of artifacts from a prehistoric village that was once located there, and archaeological investigations have shown it to be one of the area&#39;s most important archaeological sites for the Allison-Lamotte culture. After more than a decade of fruitful research and predictions of potentially rich results from future work, it has been designated a historic site.</p><br>
<h2>Geology</h2><br>
<p>Stoner lies in the middle of open fields several miles from the nearest community. Located near the Wabash River and about 4.5 mi south of the village of Hutsonville, the site is situationed in rural eastern Crawford County. It lies in the floodplain of a small stream, Sugar Creek, which flows about 1 m below the site, approximately 180 m to the northeast; the soil is largely clay, but due to the presence of the stream, much of the immediate vicinity is typically marshland. The surrounding countryside is the heavily glaciated prairies typical of much of Illinois, although before settlement the region straddled the boundary between the open plains to the west and the woodlands to the east.</p><br>
<h2>Features</h2><br>
<p>The predominant feature of the Stoner Site is a wide semicircular midden that is believed to have been the site of a prehistoric village. With a diameter of almost 450 ft and a height of nearly 1 ft, the midden contains numerous postholes, but its most prominent feature is found at its northeastern corner: a substantial mound measuring 33 m by 24 m and approximately 1.5 m high. Despite its prominent size, the mound has been greatly reduced since the middle of the 20th century; before that time, the site was covered by woods, but cultivation since that time has reduced the mound from its previous height of 2.4 m.</p><br>
<h2>Excavations</h2><br>
<p>The Illinois Archaeological Survey first recorded the Stoner Site in 1930 and carried out a minimal field survey at the site, collecting materials that could be found at the surface. Aside from occasional reckless digging into the mound in the early 1950s by the owners, no further work of any sort was done for nearly thirty years. Local resident Denzil Stephens, an amateur archaeologist, conducted far more detailed work at the site starting in the late 1950s: besides investigating the mound, he excavated the surrounding field and discovered the midden and village site. By digging test pits at regular intervals and removing everything down to the subsoil, he demonstrated the existence of a village: by the early 1960s, he had revealed more than three hundred postholes and thus shown the complete outline of one house and portions of outlines for eleven other buildings. Stephens returned to the site once more in the late 1960s to test an area away from his previous excavations; this excavations nearly complete absence of discoveries helped to demonstrate the sites boundaries.</p><br>
<p>Due to the cursory work done by the IAS field survey in the early 1930s, few artifacts from Stoner were known until Stephens began working at the site. His early excavations revealed unfamiliar types of pottery and hitherto-unknown forms of projectile points. As he returned to the site in the 1960s, he began to uncover plentiful cultural materials, including many projectile points identified as the work of the Allison-Lamotte culture, numerous stone tools (e.g. scrapers and, plus more than three hundred lamellar flint knives), gorgets, and projectile points strongly resembling those found at the Merom site in the nearby town of Merom, Indiana. Clay artifacts are also known at the site; the owners found pieces of pipes while digging around the mound, Stephens&#39; excavations yielded more pipe pieces and one substantial clay figurine, and more than five thousand potsherds of various types have been recovered. Excavations yielded virtually no evidence of shellfish consumption by the inhabitants, which contrasts strongly with comparable nearby sites, such as the Daugherty-Monroe Site northwest of Merom.</p><br>
<h2>Conclusions</h2><br>
<p>Stephens unfamiliarity with the artifacts that he found in his early excavations led him to suggest that the village was populated by members of a previously unknown culture. His further work permitted the inhabitants to be identified as members of the Middle Woodland period Allison-Lamotte culture, which was first defined in 1963, and which flourished from around the birth of Christ until AD 400. The arrangement of the postholes enabled him to understand the site as a collection of circular houses (typically 22 ft in diameter) partially encircling a central plaza. Later research demonstrated similar town planning at other Allison-Lamotte sites, and the placement of a mound near the midden has also been shown to be a common feature for Allison-Lamotte villages. Unlike many of the mounds built by other peoples of the Woodland period, Allison-Lamotte mounds were sometimes built for non-mortuary purposes; the owners inability to find grave goods in the mound is comparable to the results of looting at many other mounds of the culture. Small elements of other cultures appear at Stoner; the Havana Hopewell left minimal artifacts, and the locally prominent Riverton culture of the earlier Archaic period was also present, but their artifacts are few and insignificant compared to those of the Allison-Lamotte period. Particularly rich is the collection of earthenware from the site, which is so comprehensive as to make it a potential type site for the culture&#39;s pottery.</p><br>
<p>As a well-preserved Allison-Lamotte village, Stoner is unusually valuable: it retains substantial evidence of that cultures occupation, and this evidence is unmixed with materials from other cultures. As a result, the Illinois Archaeological Survey deemed it the states purest example of the culture, and two of its archaeologists predicted that future excavations would be able to gain crucial evidence of daily life from its richness and purity. Into the late 1970s, the distinctions between Allison-Lamotte and contemporary cultures elsewhere in the region were poorly known, so the IAS archaeologists suggested that excavations at Stoner would permit researchers to draw much clearer conclusions about the relationships between the different cultures living along the Middle Wabash in the Middle Woodland period.</p><br>
<p>In 1978, the Stoner Site was listed on the National Register of Historic Places because of its archaeological potential. It is one of three archaeological sites in Crawford County to be accorded this distinction, along with the Riverton Site (type site for the Riverton culture) and the Riverton-era clam shell midden known as the Swan Island Site.</p><br>
<p>The Palestine Commercial Historic District is a historic district in Palestine, Illinois. The district includes parts of the 100, 200 and 300 blocks of Main Street. 31 buildings, of which 25 are considered contributing buildings, are included in the district. Several of the businesses in the district feature metal facades manufactured by George L. Mesker & Co. The Fife Opera House, individually listed on the National Register, is located within the boundaries of the district. The district also includes Mary Ann Gogin&#39;s general store; Gogin was one of the first women in Illinois to own and operate a commercial business.</p><br>
<p>The district was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1995.</p><br>
<p>The Robinson High School Auditorium-Gymnasium, also known as the RHS Gym was a historic gymnasium located on the campus of Robinson High School in Robinson, Illinois. The gym was constructed in 1939 using funds granted by the Public Works Administration. The Art Deco building featured fluted columns around its entrance, glass-block windows at the entrance and east and west sides, and curved metal awnings. Both high school athletic events and public events were held in the building, as Robinson had no other large public space suitable for hosting community events at the time.</p><br>
<p>The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2005. The building was demolished after the construction of a new gymnasium in 2006. It was removed from the National Register in 2020.</p><br>
<p>The Babylon Bend Bridge is one of nine metal highway bridges in Fulton County, Illinois listed on the National Register of Historic Places and still standing. This bridge was built in 1890 over the Spoon River and is located along Illinois Route 123 near Ellisville. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on October 29, 1980, along with the eight other bridges, as one of the "Metal Highway Bridges of Fulton County.</p><br>
<p>Fort Vasquez is a former fur trading post 35 mi northeast of Denver, Colorado, United States, founded by Louis Vasquez and Andrew Sublette in 1835. Restored by the Works Progress Administration in the 1930s, it now lies in a rather incongruous position as USA Route 85 splits to run either side of the building. History Colorado  took possession of the property in 1958 and runs it as a museum to display exhibits of the fur-trade era.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>After building a temporary trading post called Fort Convenience on the South Platte River and Clear Creek in 1834, Vasquez established Fort Vacquez with Sublette. The present day Fort Vasquez located, literally, on Highway 85, next to Platteville, Colorado is a reconstruction of the adobe trading post established by the trappers Louis Vasquez and Andrew Sublette. They built the fort in 1835 after obtaining a trading license in St. Louis, Missouri, from William Clark, the Superintendent of Indian Affairs.</p><br>
<p>They traded with other furriers, trappers, mountain men, and Native American tribes (including the Arapaho and Cheyenne), amidst competition with other trading posts. Unable to turn a profit, they sold Fort Vasquez to Lock and Randolph in 1840 who subsequently went bankrupt and abandoned the structures in 1842. Due to the bankruptcy, Vasquez and Sublette could not collect the sum owed to them for the sale.</p><br>
<p>The Census of 1880 lists several residents of Vasquez Fork, and it appears to be a mining community. One resident was Othello Reed Ostrander, born 1843 in New York. The census taker lists him as being in Vasquez Fork AND living in Georgetown with his wife and two young sons. He was listed twice. His wife was Isabelle Irene and sons were Arthur and Albert.</p><br>
<p>The fort was almost demolished during the construction of US Route 85. It was saved, in part, due to the efforts of local resident Fern Miller, who would later become Superintendent of the Denver Mint.</p><br>
<p>Mount St. Marys Hospital or St. Marys Manor is a historic Neoclassical Revival hospital building located at Niagara Falls in Niagara County, New York. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2015.</p><br>
<h2>Design</h2><br>
<p>The building was constructed in 1912-1914 and designed by architect William P. Ginther. The building is red brick on a raised limestone foundation. The hospital is a winged building, consisting of a 9-story, red brick center tower block flanked by matching 5-story blocks, threaded together by a central corridor expressed in two thin 7-story connectors. The main facade is oriented towards Sixth Street. A 1948 3-story addition to the north is set back, fronting the alley. Together the three blocks and their corridors form a back-to-back "E" configuration in plan and a soaring prospect in elevation.</p><br>
<p>The Neoclassical Revival styled building are an example of institutional design reflected in certain features including its "large-scale massing, rectangular multi-unit plan with connecting corridors, central pavilion featuring entry porch with Ionic columns and full entablature, limestone belt coursing and trim, repetitive fenestration, stone cornice, and flat roofs." The former hospital is built up to its east and west property lines with park-like courtyards between the projecting blocks. There is a small parking lot and fenced in park-like lawn sit adjacent to the south of the structure, where the first Mount St. Mary&#39;s Hospital, known as the "House on the Corner," once stood.</p><br>
<h2>Use</h2><br>
<p>From 1914 until 1965, the building was a functioning hospital. Following the development of the "new" Mount Saint Marys Hospital in Lewiston, New York in 1965, the hospital was closed and sold to Catholic Charities of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Buffalo. From 1966 until 2003, the building was known as St. Marys Manor, and was a 104-bed nursing home. The $1,500,000 1966 renovation was designed by local architect Mortimer J. Murphy Jr. (1915-2003). Since 2003, the building has been vacant.</p><br>
<p>Peoria Mineral Springs is 14,500-year-old natural spring in the city of Peoria, Illinois, United States. The site, also known as Spring Hill, is located on a hillside on the historic West Bluff between Martin Luther King Jr. Drive and Moss Avenue.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Peoria Mineral Springs are a remnant of the glacial retreat of the Ice Age. It originally fed a former Peoria lake called Goose Lake, which was drained in the 1800s.</p><br>
<p>The site was a Native American campground. Artifacts can still be found around the site.</p><br>
<p>In 1843, a "cave-like barrel-vaulted brick reservoir" was constructed; the structure is concealed within the hillside and captures the flow of three separate springs. The springs were Peoria&#39;s primary water source for about 15 years, until the population grew and a new water source close to the Illinois River was established.</p><br>
<p>The water was bottled and sold in the 19th century. Ransom Hickey of Hickey Bottling Works sold beverages such as Peach Cider, Lithia Seltzer and Rose Malt. Preston Clark patented the name Peoria Mineral Springs in 1892 and sold beverages as “Peoria Mineral Spring Soda.” Get Rosy Malt was touted as a "temperance food drink for discriminating people."</p><br>
<p>Later, the springs were deemed a safety hazard and filled with gravel.</p><br>
<h3>Renovation</h3><br>
<p>The Traynor family purchased the property in 1969 with the intention of restoring the Federal style, post-colonial house on the site. The property had belonged to Revolutionary War hero Captain Zeally Moss in the early 1830s, then to his son, William S. Moss, a businessman and riverboat captain. It took over two years to remove the gravel from the spring.</p><br>
<p>The site was added to the USA National Register of Historic Places on March 5, 1982. The springs and the residence were added to the City of Peoria list of Historic Local Landmarks in June 1994.</p><br>
<p>Armsmear , also known as the Samuel Colt Home, is a historic house located at 80 Wethersfield Avenue in Hartford, Connecticut. It was the family home of firearm manufacturer Samuel Colt. Armsmear was listed as a National Historic Landmark in 1976; this designation was expanded in 2008 to form the Coltsville Historic District, a National Historic Landmark District.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Armsmear was planned for Colt&#39;s 1856 marriage to Elizabeth Hart Jarvis and constructed in 1856 to designs by an unknown architect, possibly local architect Octavius Jordan or factory engineer H. A. G. Pomeroy, on grounds overlooking the recently completed Colt Armory. It was described by a contemporary thus: "an Italian villa in stone, massive, noble, refined, yet not carrying out any decided principle of architecture, it is like its originator, bold and unusual in its combinations." It features a low-pitched roof, heavy bracketed cornice, round-arched doors and windows, iron balconies, Italianate tower and details, and Turkish domes and pinnacles.</p><br>
<p>The Colts occupied Armsmear in 1857 and promptly began to develop its gardens. Landscape architects Cleveland and Copeland provided the plans. Unusual, glass-domed conservatories, inspired by London&#39;s Crystal Palace, were added in 1861–1862. Ultimately the estate contained some 2,600 ft of greenhouses, as well as ponds, fountains, and a deer park.</p><br>
<p>The house and manicured grounds were the primary residence of Samuel Colt and his family. The Colts entertained lavishly at the estate, holding large parties that were the highlight of the Hartford society season. Samuel Colt lived in Armsmear for approximately 5 years from 1857 until his death in 1862. He was buried on the grounds of Armsmear near the graves of Sam and Elizabeths young children, amidst a copse of weeping willows known as the Grove of Graves. Following her husbands death, Elizabeth Hart Colt and her son Caldwell Hart Colt lived together in the large home for several decades. In 1894, Elizabeth had Samuel Colt and four of their children buried at Armsmear reinterred to Cedar Hill Cemetery.</p><br>
<p>After Elizabeth Colt died in 1905, the house was converted to a home for Episcopal women (in 1911) under the terms of her will. The residential community to this day is administrated by the Colt Trust. She also gave 140 acre of Armsmears grounds to create Hartfords Colt Park. The city has subsequently replaced the greenhouse, garden, and ponds with ball fields and a skating rink.</p><br>
<p>The Watertown Arsenal was a major American arsenal located on the northern shore of the Charles River in Watertown, Massachusetts. The site is now registered on the ASCE&#39;s List of Historic Civil Engineering Landmarks and on the US National Register of Historic Places, and it is home to a park, restaurants, mixed use office space, and formerly served as the national headquarters for athenahealth.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The arsenal was established in 1816, on 40 acre of land, by the United States Army for the receipt, storage, and issuance of ordnance. In this role, it replaced the earlier Charlestown Arsenal. The arsenal&#39;s earliest plan incorporated 12 buildings aligned along a north–south axis overlooking the river. Alexander Parris, later designer of Quincy Market, was architect. Buildings included a military store and arsenal, as well as shops and housing for officers and men. All were made of brick with slate roofs in the Federal style, and a high wall enclosed the compound. By 1819 all buildings were completed and occupied.</p><br>
<p>The arsenals site, duties, and buildings grew gradually until the American Civil War, enlarging beyond the original quadrangle. During the war it greatly expanded to produce field and coastal gun carriages, and the wars impetus led to the quick construction of a large machine shop and smith shop built as contemporary factories, as well as a number of smaller buildings.</p><br>
<p>During the Civil War, a new commanders quarters was commissioned by then-Capt. Thomas J. Rodman, inventor of the Rodman gun. The lavish, 12,700 ft&sup2, quarters would ultimately become one of the largest commanders quarters on any US military installation. This mansion is now on the National Register of Historic Places. The expense ($63,478.65) was considered wasteful and excessive and drew a stern rebuke from Congress, which then promoted Rodman to brigadier general and sent him to command Rock Island Arsenal on the frontier in Illinois, where he built an even larger commander&#39;s quarters.</p><br>
<p>Activities and new construction at the Watertown Arsenal continued to gradually expand until the early 1890s.</p><br>
<p>Scientific management as designed by arsenal commander Charles Brewster Wheeler was implemented between 1908 and 1915. It was considered by the War Department as successful in saving money over the alternatives; but it was so hated by the work force that the Congress eventually overturned its use.</p><br>
<p>In 1968 the Army ceased operations at the arsenal; 45 acre were sold to the Watertown Redevelopment Authority, while the remaining 48 acre were converted to the United States Army Materials and Mechanics Research Center, renamed the United States Materials Technology Laboratory in 1985. In 1995 all Army activity ceased and the remainder of the site was converted to civilian use.</p><br>
<p>The Armory site was formerly included on US EPA&#39;s National Priorities List of highly contaminated sites, more widely known as Superfund. The site was removed from the NPL in 2006.</p><br>
<p>Peoria Cordage Company was a major manufacturer of twine and cords, It operated in Peoria, Illinois for almost a century.</p><br>

<p>Peoria Cordage Company was founded in 1888 by Martin Kingman of Peoria and Edward C. Heidrich of Miamisburg, Ohio. It made baling twine and other materials used in agriculture in the Midwestern United States. As the years passed, company ownership was kept within the Heidrich family. By 1937, Peoria Cordage produced 250 e6lb of product. After World War II, although still an industry leader, Peoria Cordage&#39;s output had dropped to 4.4 e6lb. Through most of its existence the company relied on natural fibers imported from around the world. In 1965 it introduced synthetic fibers, but by 1975 the company had succumbed to economic pressures.</p><br>
<h2>Historic building site</h2><br>
<p>The Peoria Cordage Company buildings are located in an area of one and two story industrial and commercial buildings in the city of Peoria, Illinois, United States. Most of the buildings in the area were constructed between 1890 and 1920. The site consisted of ten buildings when the property was nominated and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982, three of the buildings carried more historical significance than the others. These included the Rope Mill, the New Mill and the Old Mill. The company was founded in 1888 by Edward C. Heidrich and Martin Kingman in response to the growing demand for binding twine.</p><br>
<p>The site includes work by architects Hewitt & Emerson.</p><br>
<p>The Noah Webster House is a historic house museum located at 227 South Main Street, West Hartford, Connecticut. It was the boyhood home of American lexicographer Noah Webster , and was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1962.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The main portion of the Webster House is a -story wood-frame structure, three bays wide, with a large central chimney and center entrance. The most recent architectural survey (2020) demonstrates evidence inside the main fireplace of the hand of Daniel Webster (either the father of Noah Webster Sr, or the grandfather) as the person who built the house, and who lived across the road. His name is evident, signed with a finger in the yet-to-harden masonry. This would place the construction of the house earlier than previously believed, in the period of 1715–1720. As part of a 120 acre farm, and is a typical frame residence of that era. A single-story brick addition was added to the house at an early date, probably to house a kitchen, and a wood-frame ell was also eventually added to the rear. A modern museum addition, roughly in the shape of a barn, was added in the 1970s after the property was rehabilitated and prepared for use as a museum.</p><br>
<p>In 1758 the house was the birthplace of Noah Webster. His father mortgaged the farm, including this farmhouse, for Noah to attend Yale College. Webster returned to the house after graduation, and was engaged as a teacher at local schools. His interest in lexicography prompted a series of publications, beginning with a spelling book in 1783 and culminating in the publication in 1828 of his Dictionary of the American Language, which sold millions of copies during his lifetime, and laid down basic principles for dictionaries and spelling books that are still used today.</p><br>
<p>The house was continuously occupied as a private residence until 1962, when it was given to the town. In 1966 it opened as a museum. It currently contains several items with Webster associations, including early editions of the Dictionary of the American Language and Blue-backed Spellers, as well as china, glassware, a desk, and two clocks that Webster owned as an adult.</p><br>
<p>The house also serves as the headquarters of the West Hartford Historical Society.</p><br>
<p>Elizabeth Park is a city park located in Hartford and West Hartford, Connecticut. It covers 102 acres and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The park is owned by the City of Hartford, and jointly maintained by the City and the Elizabeth Park Conservancy working together.</p><br>
<p>The site was previously owned by financier Charles M. Pond of the New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad and Hartford National Bank, and a treasurer of Connecticut (1870–71). In 1894 he bequeathed his estate to the City of Hartford with the stipulation that it be named for his deceased wife, Elizabeth. The city took possession in 1897 and engaged the famed Frederick Law Olmsted for initial design and landscaping. In March 1896, the Hartford Board of Park Commissioners hired Swiss landscape architect, Theodore Wirth, as the first professional superintendent of parks for the City of Hartford.</p><br>
<p>In 1904, Mr. Wirth created its world renowned Rose Garden which today covers 2.5 acres. It is the oldest municipal rose garden in the United States, currently containing about 15,000 bushes of 800 rose varieties. In the 1970s the city decided it could no longer afford the garden, and initially proposed plowing it under, until volunteers banded together and came to the rescue. Today the Helen S Kaman Rose Garden, named after the first Conservancy president, thrives and has become one of the top tourist attractions in Connecticut. The beauty of the roses and arches in full bloom is beyond description. "Breathing taking." Combined with the other gardens, greenhouses, paths and woods, this park is a botanical gem in the northeast.</p><br>
<p>In 1977 volunteers banded together with Vic Jarm (Park Superintendent at the time) to form the Friends of Elizabeth Park and save the Rose Garden. Their first mission was to raise $10,000 to replace many of the rose bushes that died from lack of care. Since then the Conservancy has assisted the City of Hartford in maintaining the Rose Garden as well as the other horticultural gardens in the park and have raised funds for the restoration of the historic greenhouses and the Elizabeth Pond Memorial in 1997, also known as the Pond House Café. Most of the financial support for the park through the efforts of the Conservancy comes from individuals, grants and foundations such as the Ethel Donaghue Trust and the Kaman Foundation. In 2011, the name was changed to Elizabeth Park Conservancy to reflect their expanded mission and purpose beyond the rose garden.</p><br>
<p>Today the park encompasses many garden areas, pathways, century-old Lord and Burnham greenhouses, lawns, bowling greens, tennis courts, a picnic grove, and a scenic pond. The border between Hartford and West Hartford has moved since the park was established, with the odd result that one of Hartford&#39;s largest parks is now located primarily within the Town of West Hartford. However the park is owned and maintained by the Conservancy and the City of Hartford Department of Public Works and Parks alone. The Elizabeth Park Conservancy has full management of the Helen S Kaman Rose Garden, and the seven other specialty gardens. The four greenhouses and garden head house are used to start plants from seeds and cutting, force bloom of tulips for the annual greenhouse show, and host exotic and tropical plants. The Conservancy holds garden, tree and history tours, garden workshops, greenhouse shows, and their immensely popular summer concert series for the public. In addition to their mission to maintain and preserve the gardens and the park, the Conservancy prides itself on bringing people from all backgrounds together as a community.</p><br>
<h2>East Lawn</h2><br>
<p>The East Lawn was designed by Theodore Wirth in 1896 and has been a communal space since the park opened in 1897. The Sunrise Overlook on the East Lawn offers views of the city&#39;s downtown area, with the area catching sunlight during early hours, earning the name Sunrise Overlook. A formal promenade and flower beds are placed on the highest point of East Lawn. Sunrise Overlook was redesigned in 1994 after the original design was neglected and overgrown. The promenade and flowerbeds were replaced by a semicircle of sitting walls, viewing terraces, and walkways. New trees were planted, alongside a variety of flowering shrubs, native plants, and perennials.</p><br>
<p>Under the vantage point of Sunrise Overlook, a vista of the city is placed, complete with bordering trees. Alongside the borders are over 20,000 shrubs and 275 trees. Over time, two baseball fields were added on the east side of the border, and a children&#39;s playground on the south border. There are also two basketball courts and a gravel path for visitors.</p><br>
<h2>Horticultural Gardens</h2><br>
<p>The horticultural gardens in Elizabeth Park are collaborations with other organizations. The care and management of these gardens are the responsibility of whichever group planted them.</p><br>
<h3>Herb Garden</h3><br>
<p>A collaboration with the Connecticut Unit of the American Herb Society, the Herb Garden was planted in 1998 as a dedication to Anne Pinto, the former society president. The American Herb Society to promote the knowledge and use of herbs throughout communities, and this garden is used to push their mission by showing visitors to the park a variety of different herbs and their general information.</p><br>
<h3>Dahlia Display Garden</h3><br>
<p>A collaboration with the Connecticut Dahlia Society; the society holds an annual dahlia show every year, as well as a dahlia sale. The society uses their garden in the horticultural gardens of Elizabeth Park to promote their yearly events and attempt to get more people to participate in and spectate their shows.</p><br>
<h3>Connecticut Iris Society Display Beds</h3><br>
<p>A collaboration with the Connecticut Iris Society, these display beds hold several New England irises. The society also has a smaller set of display beds on the south side of the greenhouse, housing irises from Virginia. Most of these beds tend to bloom from April to June, with the garden being closed for the rest of the year. The society holds iris shows during peak growth season around May.</p><br>
<h3>University of St. Joseph School of Pharmacy, Sara Knuth Medicine Garden</h3><br>
<p>A collaboration with USJ School of Pharmacy, featuring a variety of medicinal plants around the world. These plants are frequently used in pharmaceuticals worldwide.</p><br>
<h2>Julian and Edith Eddy Rock Garden</h2><br>
<p>The Julian and Edith Eddy Rock Garden features herbs, perennials, ornamental grasses, shrubs, and trees. First planted in 1915, the rock garden takes inspiration from earlier alpine gardens found in Austria. Most of the early plants did not acclimate well, and the garden went through three total restorations, with the final one being in 2016. In order to maintain the new garden, a combination of volunteers and park workers remove debris from the gardens and trim shrubs to promote new growth. The entire garden is surrounded by a border of deciduous trees.</p><br>
<h2>Heritage Rose Garden</h2><br>
<p>The Heritage Rose Garden is a test garden planted by the All American Rose Selection, and contains a variety of roses including wild, Albas, Bourbons, and Hybrids amongst other species. The garden was renovated by the Connecticut Valley Garden Club in 2017, adding new variety&#39;s of international roses to the gardens. The garden itself is shaped like a rosette, with five distinctive districts shaped like petals. The garden remains as one of the few heritage rose gardens throughout the United States.</p><br>
<h2>Perennial Garden</h2><br>
<p>The old Perennial Garden was one of the first gardens created in Elizabeth Park, under the direction of George Parker. The original garden fell into disrepair around the 1980s, with it undergoing renovations in 1987. After the renovations, over 1600 perennials were added to the garden, spread out over eight large flowerbeds. The beds are separated by "warm" and "cool" colors, directly opposite to one another to showcase the difference.</p><br>
<h2>Helen S Kaman Rose Garden</h2><br>
<p>The Helen S Kaman Rose Garden is the first rose garden in the United States and the third largest rose garden in the country. Named after the park&#39;s first president, the garden opened in 1904 showcasing over 200 varieties of roses around the world. Since 1950, the garden has expanded to encompass over 1000 rose species. Every year, the park raises over $100,000 USD with the sole dedication to the rose garden. The shape of the rose garden is the same as the logo of the park; a square shape with a circle in the centre and 8 pathways leading from the circle to the square. Over time, a semicircular segment was added to the north and south sides of the garden, to accommodate more visitors and showcase more roses.</p><br>
<p>The following contains a partial list of some of the main rose species growing in the Helen S Kaman Rose Garden:</p><br>
<p>Euonymus japonicus</p><br>
<p>Rosa chinensis</p><br>
<p>Portlandia grandiflora</p><br>
<p>Rosa rugosa</p><br>
<p>Rosa hybrida</p><br>
<p>Rosa persica</p><br>
<p>Rosa acicularis</p><br>

<p>Peoria Waterworks is a building complex built in 1890 for the Peoria, Illinois water system.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The three building site was constructed in 1890 after the publicly owned Peoria Water Company was sold to John T. Moffat and Henry C. Hodgskins. The building was designed in Romanesque Revival style and first supplied water to the city of Peoria on December 1, 1890.</p><br>
<p>The red sandstone buildings feature carvings, stained glass windows, copper flashing, hardwood trim, and turrets. Four gargoyles adorn the corners of the zinc roof of the Main Pumping Station.</p><br>
<p>Ossabaw Island is one of the Sea Islands located on the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of the USA state of Georgia approximately twenty miles by water south from the historic downtown of the city of Savannah. One of the largest of Georgia&#39;s barrier islands, Ossabaw contains 9,000 acre of wooded uplands with freshwater ponds and 16,000 acre of marshlands interlaced with tidal creeks. Located between Wassaw Island and the Ogeechee River on the north and St. Catherines Island on the south, the island is not linked to the mainland by bridge or causeway. At 26,000 acre, it is the third-largest barrier island off the coast of Georgia.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Evidence of human presence extends for at least 4,000 years based on pottery shards unearthed from the island&#39;s numerous oyster shell middens. It was inhabited by the Guale Indians at the time of the Spanish exploration of the Georgia coast in the early 16th century. Throughout the Spanish mission period the Guale alternately supplied and fought with the Spanish. When English occupation of the area replaced the Spanish in the 1730s, the Guale had moved inland possibly in response to disease and coastal marauding under the Spanish. The earliest English treaties reserved the island as hunting and fishing grounds for the Creek Indians.</p><br>
<p>In 1758 a group of Creek leaders was persuaded to convey the island to King George II of Great Britain. In 1760 Henri Bourquin claimed ownership of the island. He later sold it to his son-in-law, John Morell. Morell used enslaved people to farm and timber the island. At his death, the island was divided into four plantations. Morells will includes 155 enslaved people, whom his three living sons inherited. After the American Civil War the island was farmed on a small scale by several owners and tenant farmers until the early 20th century. In 1907 Savannah native, Henry D. Weed, purchased over 9000 acres of the island, and by 1916 Weed was the islands sole owner. After 1916 it was used as a hunting retreat while owned by a group of wealthy businessmen until it was purchased in 1924 by Dr. Henry Norton Torrey and his wife Nell Ford Torrey, of Detroit, Michigan.</p><br>
<p>In 1961 The Ossabaw Foundation created by Eleanor Torrey West and Clifford B. West launched the Ossabaw Island Project as an artistic and scholarly retreat. Over the years the island&#39;s solitude and natural beauty served as the setting for notable visitors including composers Aaron Copland, Samuel Barber; writers Ralph Ellison, Annie Dillard, Olive Ann Burns, and Margaret Atwood; sculptor Harry Bertoia; and scientist Eugene Odum. The Ossabaw Foundation was also host to The Genesis Project, scientific research and public use and education programs on the island.</p><br>
<p>In 1978, no longer able to subsidize the artistic, educational, and scientific activity on the island, and eschewing lucrative offers of resort development, Mrs. West and her brothers children chose to sell the island to the State of Georgia as a Heritage Preserve with the understanding that Ossabaw would "be used for natural, scientific and cultural study, research and education, and environmentally sound preservation, conservation and management of the Islands ecosystem."</p><br>
<h2>Ossabaw today</h2><br>
<p>Currently Ossabaw is managed by the Georgia Department of Natural Resources (DNR), which has entered into a Use Agreement with The Ossabaw Island Foundation, a Savannah-based non-profit organization which regulates access and use of historic areas. The foundation works cooperatively with the State of Georgia&#39;s DNR to manage access to Ossabaw for public educational programs.</p><br>
<p>The Ossabaw Island Foundation, a public charity established in 1994, defines its mission this way: "...in a public-private partnership with the State of Georgia, inspires, promotes, and manages exceptional educational, cultural, and scientific programs that are designed to maximize the experience of Ossabaw Island, while minimizing the impact on its resources." The general public must apply to visit. The Foundation follows the guidelines established by Mrs. West and embodied in the Heritage Preserve of 1978: The island is open to groups engaged in study, research and education. Those groups include young people, adult interest groups, colleges and universities, teachers, artists and researchers. Some examples of the research that occurs on in the island involves nesting of loggerhead sea turtles, monitoring migratory bird patterns, investigating tooth wear of deer fawns and genetic studies on feral Sicilian donkeys.</p><br>
<p>Ossabaw Island Comprehensive Management Plan says the hogs and donkeys are to be removed. Presumably, the way the document is written, the feral horses will also be removed. Ossabawisland.org states "all remaining donkeys have been sterilized to prevent future generations."</p><br>
<h2>In popular culture</h2><br>
<p>In season 8 of Fear the Walking Dead, Ossabaw Island is the location of PADRE given the coordinates recited by Madison Clark in "All I See is Red."</p><br>
<p>The Pettengill–Morron House, or simply Morron House, is a historic mansion located in the city of Peoria, Illinois, United States. This Second Empire style home is located in the local historic Moss-High District. The property was added to the National Register of Historic Places and is a City of Peoria Local Historic Landmark. It currently operates as a museum by the Peoria Historical Society.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The house was originally built in 1868 for Moses Pettengill, a hardware store owner who came to Peoria from New Hampshire in 1833. When Pettengill arrived in Peoria, there were 150 people, 30 log cabins, and three frame houses. Pettengill and his wife Lucy originally made their home on the site of the present-day Peoria Civic Center from 1836 to 1862.</p><br>
<p>The original house on the site, an 1862 construction that was built for $5,000, was destroyed by fire on December 13, 1865. A new brick building was constructed in 1868 in the Second Empire style for the cost of $12,000. A colonial revival porch and porte-cochere were added in 1900. Its original address was 464 Moss Avenue before Peoria&#39;s address renumbering in the 1950s. The last resident was Miss Jean Morron, who lived there from 1953 until she died in 1966; the Peoria Historical Society acquired the house in 1967.</p><br>
<h2>Legacy</h2><br>
<p>The house was listed on the USA National Register of Historic Places on April 2, 1976. It was added to the City of Peoria Local Historic Landmark list in December 2021. The house received a grant from Landmarks Illinois in 2020 to fund repairs.</p><br>
<p>The Peoria Historical Society operates this house and the Judge Flanagan Residence as historic house museums. The Pettengill Collection of artifacts was donated by Moses Pettengills relative, Daisy Peirce Hale. The collection includes paintings that were restored and hung in the museum, Blanchard Pettengills diary of growing up on the Moss Avenue property, and other family history records.</p><br>
<p>The International Harvester Building is a five-story building in the USA city of Peoria, Illinois. The property consists of the 1914 five-story building and a 1925 one-story addition. The building is associated with Peorias history through transportation; Peoria was once a major shipping point due to its vicinity to the Illinois River and major railroad connections. The structure was added to the National Register of Historic Places on November 15, 2005, after the National Registers 50 year cut off for inclusion had expired on the building&#39;s original period of significance .</p><br>
<p>Cordelia Lutheran Church was dedicated by Pastor Peter Carlson on December 15, 1883, and is the oldest Lutheran building in the state of Idaho. The church was built on property given by Andrew Olson in the Lenville, Idaho area to serve the Swedish Lutheran families in the area. In 1919, the building ceased to be used for regular church services. The building and surrounding 31 acre is currently owned and administered by a non-profit group named Friends of Cordelia. The building is used for weddings, picnics, socials, concerts and Easter Sunrise service by area residents.</p><br>
<p>In 1948 money was made available by the daughter of Andrew Olson to restore the building. The structure has undergone several additional major renovations, most recently in 1996 and 2001. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1995. The site is located south of the junction of the Genesee-Troy Road and Danielson Road to the southeast of Moscow, Idaho in Latah County. There is a small cemetery behind the church.</p><br>
<p>The Parish of All Saints, Ashmont, is a church of the Episcopal Diocese of Massachusetts located at 209 Ashmont Street in the Dorchester neighborhood of Boston, Massachusetts. Built 1892-1929 for a congregation founded in 1867, it was the first major commission of architect Ralph Adams Cram, a major influence in the development of early 20th-century Gothic church and secular architecture. The church was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980, and is protected by a preservation easement held by Historic New England.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>All Saints is located in southern Dorchester, a short walk from the Ashmont station of the MBTA Red Line. It occupies a parcel bounded on three sides by Ashmont, Bushnell, and Lombard Streets. The main body of the church is essentially a long rectangle, with several small projection the sides, and a larger eastern projection at the southern end, joining it to the parish house. At the northern end is a large square tower with buttressed corners and a parapeted top. The front of the tower has a large stained glass window, below which an extended entrance vestibule projects forward. The church is built out of rough-face Quincy granite, with trim that is a light colored sandstone from Nova Scotia. The interior is richly decorated with Gothic features, and includes wood carvings of Johannes Kirchmayer, stone carvings by John Evans (a noted Welsh sculptor who worked on later Cram projects), and stained glass by Charles Jay Connick, another Cram friend and collaborator.</p><br>
<p>Douglass Shand Tucci said of the church: "Architect Ralph Adams Crams first church, designed in partnership with Bertram Goodhue, was All Saints — Ashmont. A significant landmark in American architectural history, All Saints is, of its type, Cram and Goodhues masterpiece, and a model for American parish church architecture for the first half of the 20th century."</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The parish began in 1867 as a mission of nearby St. Mary&#39;s Church. The cornerstone for current structure was laid in November 1892, and the congregation held its first services in the new edifice December 27, 1893. Construction was financed largely through the generosity of Colonel Oliver Peabody, one of the founders of Kidder, Peabody & Co., but was not substantially completed until 1929, when the side chapels were added.</p><br>
