<p>The A. Conger Goodyear House is a historic home located in the Village of Old Westbury in Nassau County, New York, United States.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The house was built in 1938 in the International style. The house was designed by architect Edward Durell Stone, and was owned by businessman and philanthropist Anson Conger Goodyear. The house has 6,000 square feet of space, five bedrooms and five and a half baths and currently sits on a five-and-a-half-acre lot.</p><br>
<p>The home has been described as "a remarkable balancing act between the austerity of the then·developing high modernism of Mies van der Rohe and the warm, site-oriented romantic functionalism of earlier American masters like Frank Lloyd Wright."</p><br>
<p>When Goodyear died in 1964, the home was left unoccupied until 1970, when the family donated the house to the New York Institute of Technology for use as the president&#39;s house. In 1997, NYIT sold it to Wheatley Construction Company, which had planned to raze it for new development. with constrictive limitations on renovations to the interior and exterior, though the lot was reduced from 100 acres. Halterman never moved in, and sold the house in 2007 to Eric Cohler, an interior designer who spent a purported US$2 million in renovations.

<h2>Importance</h2><br>
<p>In his 1962 memoir, The Evolution of an Architect, Edward Durell Stone wrote:</p><br>
<p>The site, a barren hilltop, demanded the low horizontal lines of a one-story house. Mr. Goodyear had a fine collection of modern paintings, and I decided to have a gallery serve as a "spinal column" from which all the rooms, with an expansive view to the south, opened, I employed glass walls from floor to ceiling, the ceilings continuing beyond the walls to form wide sheltering eaves. As the house faces south, the eaves were adjusted in depth so that the glass areas were shaded during the summer months, and when the sun was low during the winter months, its welcoming rays penetrated the house through the glass walls.</p><br>
<p>Of the house&#39;s eaves, he wrote:</p><br>
<p>Not only is the overhanging eave an important practical consideration, but I find it aesthetically mandatory on a house with a flat roof, satisfying visually the desire for certain aspects of the pitched roof so long associated with residential architecture.</p><br>
<p>Robert A.M. Stern, dean of the Yale School of Architecture, told The New York Times, "Its one of the few great International Style houses by an American architect of the 1930s. Its a great country house as well and surprisingly luxurious in a Busby Berkeley-meets-Bauhaus kind of way."</p><br>
<p>The New Yorker architecture critic, Paul Goldberger, called the Goodyear home "one of the most important houses built in the United States between the two world wars."</p><br>

It was designated a Michigan State Historic Site in 1979 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990. It is also known as Mary Immaculate of Lourdes Church.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In the late 19th century a flood of Italian immigrants arrived in Iron Mountain to work in the nearby iron mines. However, in 1890, those living on the north side of the city organized an "Italian Church," and received permission to start their own parish. That year, they constructed a frame structure near the site of the present church and a priest was assigned to the parish. The original frame church burned down in 1893, but work quickly began on a replacement.</p><br>
<p>In April 1902 Father Giovanni Sinopoli di Giunta arrived in Iron Mountain to serve as the parish priest. and in June 1902 Father Sinopoli began digging the foundation himself. In July the cornerstone was laid, and construction on the church continued quickly. Father Sinopoli acted as engineer, architect, and building foreman, and numerous men from the parish volunteered their labor. The superintendent of the local Pewabic Mine donated timber and sent workers to assist in construction, paying their salaries out of his own pocket. The church was completed in December, 1902, and on January 1, 1903, was dedicated to Mary Immaculate of Lourdes.</p><br>
<p>Father Sinopoli stayed with the parish for only one year, but left an organized church with a new building. In 1971 the school consolidated with other nearby Catholic schools, and the Immaculate Conception school housed first through third grades. In 1990 the schools were consolidated further, and all classes were taught downtown. The former Immaculate Conception school was leased to the Iron Mountain school district.</p><br>
<p>Significant upgrades were made to the church in the 1960s, and the exterior was repaired in the 1980s. The church was designated a Michigan State Historic Site in 1979 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.</p><br>

<p>The Grove, also known as Loretto Rest, is a historic house located on Grove Court in Cold Spring, New York, United States. It was built as the estate of Frederick Lente, surgeon at the nearby West Point Foundry and later a founder of the American Academy of Medicine, in the mid-19th century. The Italian-villa design, popular at the time, was by the prominent architect Richard Upjohn. In 2008 it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>A later renovation replaced its original roof with a mansard roof. After the Lente family sold it, it was purchased by the Roman Catholic Church and converted to a convent. That use ended in 1977 and it has remained vacant since then, suffering the effects of neglect and decay.</p><br>
<p>The surrounding land was subdivided and developed, eliminating much of Upjohn&#39;s original landscaping. In the late 2000s the mansard roof was replaced with one more like the original. It is now the property of the village of Cold Spring, which has attempted to preserve but done nothing to restore the estate.</p><br>
<h2>Building</h2><br>
<p>The house is located at the end of Grove Court, a cul-de-sac on the south side of Paulding Avenue just outside downtown Cold Spring to the west, most of which is included in the Cold Spring Historic District, listed on the Register in 1982. All the other houses on the street to the north of the one-acre (1 acre) lot where the building stands are of modern, late 20th- and early 21st-century construction and design. To the east is the former Butterfield Memorial Hospital, another large abandoned property awaiting restoration.</p><br>
<p>A line of mature trees stands along the top of a slight drop to the south which gives it a view over the Hudson River to the United States Military Academy at West Point to the south, Crows Nest, Storm King and other peaks of the Hudson Highlands to the east and Newburgh Bay to the north. Just below are one-story commercial buildings and their parking lots along the curving section of Chestnut Street, part of New York State Route 9D. A large shopping plaza with a supermarket and the villages post office is just across Chestnut to the southwest. Across the road to the southeast are some of the remaining buildings of the West Point Foundry and its archeological site, both listed on the Register and being considered for National Historic Landmark status.</p><br>
<p>The building itself is a two-and-a-half-story, three-by-four-bay structure of brick laid in common bond over load-bearing stone. On the northwest is a one-story wing, one bay on all sides, with an additional wooden entrance portico. The house is topped by a low-pitched square hipped roof with a small square cupola in the center. A wooden porch wraps around the western side to the middle of the south.</p><br>
<p>White paint or other material that once covered the facades has begun to fade, exposing the brick beneath. The windows are mostly narrow brick segmental arches with projecting stone sills. They are all boarded up. Metal mounts for shutters formerly there remain. A belt brick course separates the two stories.</p><br>
<p>On the west (front) facade, the segmental-arched main entrance, marked by a molded wooden frame flush with the wall and a four-light transom, is flanked by two arched windows. The southern bay has an oriel window with bracketed pilasters and a molded pediment. These features are currently concealed by a wooden barrier at the face of the porch.</p><br>
<p>The south side has a center door at the basement level. On the east, facing the cul-de-sac, is another door in the northern bay, with a small wooden porch and concrete steps. Above it is a round-arched window rising from the belt course, outlined in brick headers within a recess.</p><br>
<p>The north face has the same narrow segmental-arched windows in its two western bays. On the north end of the wing is a wooden entrance portico with half-hipped roof. It otherwise has the same window treatment, with two on the north and one on the west.</p><br>
<p>At the roofline are broad overhanging eaves. Bare spots on the brick below mark the locations of the brackets that once supported them. In its center the roof&#39;s cupola is pierced by a single ventilation shaft.</p><br>
<p>The interior has suffered from the same neglect as the outside, and many of its original finishings have been damaged. Many original features remain, however. The center-hall floor plan on both stories has not been altered, and the plaster walls, ceilings and wood trim, including the staircase with turned first-floor newel post appear to be original. Some stenciled decoration is on its wall.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Frederick Lente, a North Carolina native who had earned his medical degree at University Medical College of New York, now the New York University medical school, came to Cold Spring in 1850 to serve as the surgeon at the West Point Foundry. His father-in-law, William Kemble, had been one of the founding members of the Foundry Association. At that time the foundry was the largest maker of iron and brass in the country. Located along the banks of a small cove where a small brook flowed into the Hudson River on the south side of the village, it made both military and civilian products, from cannon to the pipes that were laid to open the Croton Aqueduct and bring clean water to Manhattan.</p><br>
<p>In 1852, the Foundry Association sold Lente the four-and-a-half-acre (4.5 acre) parcel where the house and Grove Court now stand. He soon commissioned Richard Upjohn to design the house he wanted to live in. Upjohn, an English immigrant had made his reputation popularizing the Gothic Revival mode for stone churches such as New York&#39;s Trinity Church. But he had also pioneered the Italianate-styled house during the same period with the Edward King House, a National Historic Landmark in Newport, Rhode Island. Closer to Cold Spring, he built the James and Mary Forsyth House up the Hudson in Kingston in 1850.</p><br>
<p>This was the type of house that Lente wanted, and he had specifics. His correspondence with Upjohn reflects his desire for features like the French windows on the west that slide into their casement. At one point he tells the architect that the upper floor&#39;s bedroom was "unnecessarily large" and should be reduced by a foot (30 cm).</p><br>
<p>The finished house is typical of Upjohns Italian villas from that period. Its plan is basically rectangular, and it is built of masonry faced in painted brick, with arched windows set with multi-pane sash. The northwest wing is found on his other houses in the Hudson Valley, not only the Forsyth House but former President Martin van Burens Lindenwald near Kinderhook.</p><br>
<p>Lente made the house his principal residence for the rest of his life. Before his death in 1883, he published many papers in medical journals. He was a member of many professional societies, and helped found the American Academy of Medicine, an early organization devoted to raising educational standards in the profession.</p><br>
<p>During the 1870s, it is believed, he made a major alteration in the house. Sometime during that decade, the original hipped roof in Upjohn&#39;s design was replaced with a mansard roof, more in keeping with the Second Empire style popular at the time. The roof was clad with polychromatic hexagonal slate shingles, and pierced by flat-roofed dormer windows, three on the long sides and two on the short.</p><br>
<p>Lente&#39;s widow continued to live in the house until her death in 1901. Afterwards it was bought by the parish of Our Lady of Loreto, which converted it into a convent. The Franciscan Sisters ran a school there until 1977.</p><br>
<p>At some point during the 20th century, louvered window shutters, since removed, were installed. In the 1920s the porch was enclosed with two-over-two sash windows over wood paneling. The rear entrance portico was also enclosed around that time as well. Its entrance doors were removed, and more wood paneling installed. Around 1950 the front and rear steps were replaced in concrete.</p><br>
<p>After the Franciscans&#39; departure, no new occupant replaced them. The vacant house began to suffer from neglect. In 2002 a developer bought the property and subdivided it to build the houses along Grove Court. He donated the house and the acre that remained to the village, which hoped to restore it and use it as a historic house museum.</p><br>
<p>The village has not yet succeeded. In late 2008, it had to remove the mansard roof and replace it with the current hipped one, more like the original. Four years later, it put out a request for proposals. It is estimated that it will cost at least $1 million to restore the house. A couple who live in a neighboring house offered to purchase it for $1,000, but the village board rejected that price as "insultingly low."</p><br>
<p>The Willie Lamb Post No. 26 American Legion Hut is a historic society meeting hall at 205 Alexander Street in Lepanto, Arkansas. It is a single-story brick building with a side-gable roof, and a full-width shed-roof front porch supported by square posts. It was built in 1937-38 for the local chapter of the American Legion military fraternal organization, replacing an earlier building which had been built with funding assistance from the New Deal Civil Works Administration in 1932 which was flooded and then destroyed by fire. The building has long been a center of social activity in the community, as the site of dances, fundraising events, and other activities.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2003.</p><br>
<p>Hurst-Pierrepont Estate is a historic estate located at Garrison in Putnam County, New York. It was designed by architect Alexander Jackson Davis  for Edwards Pierrepont  and built in 1867. It is a two-story brick Gothic villa. It features a four-story, flat roofed tower. Also on the property is a cow barn and carriage house.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
<p>The Holyoke Building  is a historic building located in downtown Seattle, Washington. It is a substantial five story brick structure with stone trimmings. Construction began at the corner of First Avenue and Spring Streets just before the Great Seattle fire of 1889. Completed in early 1890, it was among the first permanent buildings completed and ready for occupancy in downtown Seattle following the fire. Today the Holyoke Building is one of the very few such buildings still standing in Seattle outside of the Pioneer Square district and is a historic remnant of the northward expansion of Seattle&#39;s business district between the time of the great fire and the Yukon Gold Rush in 1897.</p><br>
<p>The Holyoke Building housed many social and artistic clubs and organizations throughout its history. As early as 1895 it housed the Conservatory of Arts on the top floor. Later in the 1920s the Seattle Musical Club brought many local artists and musicians together in the building and other private and social clubs shared the building with toiletry manufactures and offices.</p><br>
<p>The Holyoke Building is a subdued example of the Victorian Commercial style with elements of Romanesque style and remains almost completely intact from when it was built even down to the storefronts, which had been altered over time but have now been restored. It is the only known existing work of architects Thomas Bird and George Dornbach, whose brief partnership had ended before the building was even completed. Following the restoration of the building in 1975 by the building&#39;s owner Harbor Properties, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<h3>Early history: 1889 - 1930</h3><br>
<p>The Holyoke Building takes its name from Richard Holyoke (1836–1906), a native of New Brunswick, Canada who immigrated to the Puget Sound region in 1860 to gain a foothold in the burgeoning timber industry, and was involved in the establishment of the mills at Seabeck. His venture was a success and even after Seabecks mills were destroyed by fire in 1886 spelling the death of that community, he continued purchasing large amounts of Seattle property to show his faith in the areas future. Holyoke became a prominent community figure and a major booster for local lumber. He was the treasurer of the Farmers Insurance Company and established and became the first president of the National Bank of Commerce (later Rainier Bank) in Seattle, which would become one of the regions biggest banks in the 20th century.</p><br>
<p>The lot at the corner of First Avenue (then called Front Street) and Spring Street had been owned by Holyoke since the early 1880s. Occupied by the Puget Sound Iron Works since the early 1870s, by 1888 the foundry was gone and the buildings sat mostly vacant and dilapidated. Holyoke expressed anxiousness to build on the lot but citing the scarcity of affordable brick at the time, was putting off any immediate plans. Construction finally began on the foundation of Holyokes new business block in late spring of 1889 by contractors Lohse & Lawrence. The building was designed by Seattle architects Thomas G. Bird and George W. Dornbach who worked together only briefly in 1889. At the time of the fire, excavation on the site was underway and the large pit acted as a fire stop and helped keep the fire from advancing further north. Originally designed to be four stories tall, a fifth floor was added to house the Seattle Conservatory of Music, beginning a long tradition of music in the building. Construction progressed and the building was soon being called by local papers, "one of the largest buildings in town." The ground floor, with 16 high ceilings was divided into two storefronts facing First Avenue. Following the slope of the site, a third storefront was located at the rear of the buildings second story facing Spring Street. To the East of this storefront was the buildings main entrance and to the west a separate entrance for the second story offices; the buildings first 3 floors were not originally internally connected. The upper floors, designed for offices, included those of attorneys, seamstresses and the co-architect Bird himself: each had 13 ceilings. Some of the building&#39;s earliest major tenants besides the Conservatory of Music on the top floor were the Comstock Educational Institute for Young Ladies, Wilmot & Davis stonecutters, USA Commissioner and lawyer Charles D. Emery, and the H.J. Hull & Company furniture store, owned by the brother of Alonzo Hull, that occupied the corner of the first and most of the second floor.</p><br>
<p>Suffering financial reversals as a result of the Panic of 1893, Holyoke divested himself of all his Seattle property including the Holyoke Building. He removed to Skagit County where he owned a 600-acre oat farm near Conway in the early 1900s. He moved to Bellingham in 1905 where he remained until his death in March 1906 at age 70.</p><br>
<p>In November 1900, the building was purchased by Anton Stander, who had struck it rich during the Yukon Gold Rush. Standers wife, who had convinced him to buy the property, would sue him for the building during the couples scandalous and highly publicized divorce in 1906. Unable to fill all of the building&#39;s office space, subsequent owners leased entire floors as lofts or to light manufacturing firms. The Northwest Fixture & Electric Company, who during the gold rush supplied miners with electric motors and generators for mining and lighting, occupied the upper floors between 1894 and 1900. J. Kobi & Company manufactured toiletries on the fifth floor until moving to their own building in 1923.</p><br>
<p>By the turn of the nineteenth century to the twentieth and certainly into the 1920s, the Holyoke was a gathering place for Seattle musicians and artists. When she opened her studio in the Holyoke in 1902, Nellie Cornish, who later founded an arts school in Seattle, todays Cornish College of the Arts, listed among the buildings artists Louise Coman Beck, violinist Vaughn Arthur, baritone Magnus Schuetz, and drama teacher Frank Egan, who with Rose Egan later founded the Egan School in Los Angeles. The Robert Morris Social Club held regular dances in the building. The Seattle Musical Club gathered in the building and suites on the building&#39;s second floor were used for practice sessions and discussion of musical theory. Other social clubs opened up in the building including the Lonesome Club that advertised, "Strangers and lonely people welcome."</p><br>
<h3>Restoration to the current day</h3><br>
<p>Over the years little had been done to alter the buildings facade. Fire escapes were added to the buildings North facade and later enlarged in 1919 under the supervision of architects Lawton & Moldenhour, among other interior upgrades and the storefronts were gradually modernized, all of which has since been undone. Likely as a result of the 1949 Olympia earthquake, most of the granite that originally finished the building&#39;s brick cornice has been removed.</p><br>
<p>Following its induction into the National Register in 1975, the Holyoke Building&#39;s owners, Harbor Properties, owned by prominent Seattleite Stimson Bullitt, proposed a nearly $1 million renovation that would convert the then mostly vacant building into a vibrant mix of air-conditioned offices and shops. Architects Olsen/Walker Associates, who had also designed the restoration of the Maynard Building in Pioneer Square, proposed to cut the inside of the building in half with a large interior landscaped courtyard. For Harbor Properties, who were better known for demolishing historic buildings such as the Arlington Hotel, this project was a first.</p><br>
<p>The building is currently home to the Seattle branch of WeWork, a collaborative office space.</p><br>
<p>Rock Lawn is a historic house in Garrison, New York, United States. It was built in the mid-19th century from a design by architect Richard Upjohn. In 1982 it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places along with its carriage house, designed by Stanford White and built around 1880.</p><br>
<p>It is Upjohn&#39;s only house in the Italian villa style in the Hudson Highlands. In the early 21st century it was renovated and remodeled.</p><br>
<h2>Buildings and grounds</h2><br>
<p>The house and carriage house are located on a 12.3 acre lot in Garrison, an unincorporated hamlet of the town of Philipstown. It is located on Upper Station Road (County Route 14), approximately 500 ft west of New York State Route 9D and 750 ft east of the Hudson River, towards which the land slopes, then drops sharply, allowing a view across the river to the United States Military Academy at West Point, a National Historic Landmark. The landscape is largely cleared, with intermittent mature shade trees. Garrison&#39;s fire station is next door; a small Catholic church is across the road along with other large-lot houses. To the east and south are other residences.</p><br>
<p>Among the other buildings and structures in the area are others listed on the National Register. At the junction of Upper Station and NY 9D are the Arts and Crafts Garrison Union Free School with the Moore House behind it, and St. Philips Church in the Highlands, also designed by Upjohn. Down the hill to the east at the riverside, the small Garrison Landing Historic District is across the railroad tracks, just north of the Garrison station on Metro-North Railroads Hudson Line.</p><br>
<p>To the southeast, along Lower Station Road (County Route 12), is the Carpenter Gothic Wilson House. It completes the circuit back to NY 9D, at an intersection known as Garrison Four Corners, also the western terminus of short New York State Route 403. with the Mandeville House, a Dutch Colonial residence briefly remodeled by Upjohn, who lived there for the last years of his life. The Birches, an early work by Ralph Adams Cram, rounds out the collection of Register listings in that part of Garrison.</p><br>
<p>An iron fence runs along the north side of the property, next to the sidewalk along Upper Station. In its center a gated entrance allows access to a slightly meandering 200 ft driveway that expands to a large carport nestling in the corner of the house&#39;s L-shaped footprint. A group of taller trees, including some newly planted 40 ft silver lindens, set slightly back from the street and fence partially screen the house from the street; in the northwest corner these go all the way to the fence.</p><br>
<p>A small garden with elliptical walkway is located in front of the north facade of the house. To the east of the carport is a fenced-in modern kidney-shaped swimming pool with stone deck and inset whirlpool next to a rock outcrop that has been adapted to create a small waterfall flowing into the pool. South of it the driveway continues east to the carriage house, on its south side, then returns alongside the east fence to an auxiliary gate near the northeast corner. The south and west property lines are also fenced.</p><br>
<h3>Main house</h3><br>
<p>The house has a main block, a southern block, a wing connecting them and a garage wing on the east of the south block.</p><br>
<h4>Main block</h4><br>
<p>The main block is a two-story stucco-faced brick building with load-bearing walls on a stone foundation. Atop is a hip roof pierced by a single large stone chimney. On the west side a similar hip roof and chimney rise an additional story. At the southeast corner of the main block is a circular projecting bay with a conical roof.</p><br>
<p>The main entrance is located on a projecting bay in the center of the north (front) facade, forming a small pavilion. A small set of steps lead up to four-paneled wooden double doors with four-pane sidelights topped by a gently arched two-pane transom. It is topped by a sandstone beltcourse, which continues at the springline of the semicircular arches with radiating muntins atop the French windows on either side.</p><br>
<p>On the second story the fenestration consists of an arched six-over-one double-hung sash window flanked by two smaller and narrower versions. The side windows are arched one-over-one double-hung sash. The same sandstone course runs along the springlines and atop the arches.</p><br>
<p>The third story has a single round oculus framed in sandstone in the center of the projection&#39;s gabled roof. Underneath its broad eaves are fasciae, exposed rafters and returns. To the side are rectangular six-pane casement windows with sandstone lintels and sills.</p><br>
<p>The sandstone courses and arched windows continue on the western facade. South of the first bay on the first story, there is a semi-octagonal stone-faced projecting bay window with a wooden balustrade on top. Each facet has one single-pane window with a three-light transom. Double sliding glass doors open onto the balcony created by the balustrade. The bays on either side on both stories are set in arched one-over-one double-hung sash.</p><br>
<p>All three northern bays are on a projecting pavilion. To its south on the first story, double French doors, flanked by similar single doors, with three- and six-pane transoms open onto a set of stone steps. Above them there is a single arched one-over-one window near the southwest corner of the main block. A matching window on the east side is the only one on that entire facade.</p><br>
<h4>Connecting wing</h4><br>
<p>From the south elevation there projects a long wing. On its east it has a two-story semicircular stone portico with a shed roof. A flat roof on its east supported by four round wooden columns shelters a stone porch with steps and iron railings on either side. At the top is an arched double wooden door with ornate tracery inside a wooden surround. This is currently the house&#39;s main entrance.</p><br>
<p>Fenestration on the portico consists of two long windows on the first floor to either side of the entrance, with sandstone sills and lintels. On the second story the windows are round-arched with radiating muntins. The roof above them has broad overhanging eaves. To either side on both stories of the south wing are tripartite single-pane windows. Those on the first story have transoms with a single row of square panes.</p><br>
<p>On the west side the main block gives way to a stone-faced section centered on a two-story trapezoidal bay window, topped by a balustraded balcony accessed from a clerestory. The first story of the bay has a narrow French door at the top of stone steps flanked by two similar windows, all topped with a transom of three panes per window. On the facets and either side of the bay are similar single-pane windows with four-pane transoms.</p><br>
<p>The second story echoes the ground floor with four narrow, untransomed windows. The facets and north flanking windows follow this pattern, single panes like those below but without transoms. Below the south facet another balustrade springs, accessed by a door on the south flanking side.</p><br>
<p>The balcony connects to a projecting three-story engaged rectangular tower topped by a hipped roof pierced by a stone chimney, similar to the main block. Below the balcony, the first story has three French doors with sunburst-pattern transoms, also with stone steps. Two sandstone stringcourses also run around the tower. The upper one is the springline for the round arches on the third story&#39;s three narrow French doors that open onto a small balustraded balcony of their own.</p><br>
<p>At the end of the wing is a south block of roughly the same shape and size as the main block. The south facade is identically styled to the north facade of the main block. An area on its southwest has been fenced off for use as a dog run.</p><br>
<p>On the south block&#39;s west is an engaged two-and-a-half-story octagonal tower with gently pitched conical roof. Its first story has narrow French windows with radiating muntins in their round-arched transoms. They have sandstone sills and lintels; the latter with a stringcourse at their springline. Above them in each facet is a gently arched two-over-two double-hung sash window, with similar sills and lintels. The third story has the same sort of rectangular casement windows as the main block.</p><br>
<h4>Garage wing</h4><br>
<p>Extending from the south block&#39;s east facade is a garage wing. It is one and a half stories, topped by a cross-gabled hipped roof pierced by a single gabled dormer window on the east. The facade is stone below a water table on the first story and stucco above it.</p><br>
<p>Its north facade has five gently arched garage bays, all set with wooden doors topped by square-paned transoms and flanked by ornate metal lanterns. A stone apron is set in the pavement in front of the doors.</p><br>
<p>On the east facade a single four-paned casement window with sandstone lintel is set in the center of the first story. A sandstone stringcourse runs around the building just below the exposed rafters of the broad overhanging eaves; the central gable of the north facade is set with two narrow arched one-over-one double-hung sash topped by sandstone lintels. The east dormer has a similar window.</p><br>
<h3>Carriage house</h3><br>
<p>The carriage house is a one-and-a-half-story timber frame structure on a stone foundation. It is sided in shingles and topped by a similarly shingled gambrel roof, cross-gambreled at the eastern end. The western section, where the horses and carriages were kept, has one large garage bay with a projecting shed roof. On the north facade, a stone chimney with a narrow six-over-six double-hung sash window in the base separates it from the cross-gambreled main block.</p><br>
<p>Next to the chimney on the main block is the main entrance, a paneled wooden door with a gambrel hood supported by brackets. To its east are three small nine-pane square casement windows set just below the molded cornice that separates the first story from the roof. West of the main entrance is a single nine-over-nine double-hung sash near the corner with plain wooden surround.</p><br>
<p>Two more nine-over-nine double-hung sash are located near the corners of the first story&#39;s west facade. The west side has a centrally located secondary entrance. Next to it on the north are three more of the nine-pane casement windows.</p><br>
<p>On the upper level, both of the front gambrels have two more nine-over-nine sash windows. A Palladian window is set in the center of the west apex. The eastern side has a former entrance for loading hay on the south, with two more nine-over-nine double-hung sash to its north. In the center of the roof is an octagonal wooden cupola with louvered vents topped by a conical metal roof.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The main block of the house was built in 1853 for Henry Belcher, who owned the Garrison and West Point Ferry Company, which operated from nearby Garrison Landing to Highland Falls across the river. Both terminals were within view of the house. Richard Upjohn&#39;s Italianate design was his only use of the Italian villa house type in the Hudson Highlands.</p><br>
<p>In the later years of the century the house became the home of Hamilton Fish II, one of a long line of local political figures with that name. A lawyer and onetime member of the state assembly, eventually becoming that bodys Speaker, he became chair of the Putnam County Republican Party and as such wielded considerable influence over state politics. During his time in the house the buildings extensions and outbuildings were added. Around 1880, a young Stanford White designed the property&#39;s carriage house in the Shingle Style.</p><br>
<p>In the early 1980s the mansion was purchased by Patty Hearst and her former bodyguard and husband, Bernard Shaw. They lived there with their children through Shaw&#39;s death in 2013. At that time they had just completed an extensive restoration and renovation of the house which changed its exterior appearance.</p><br>
<p>Oulagisket or "Lisburne Grange," also known as the Sloan Estate, is a historic estate located in Garrison, New York, in Putnam County. It consists of the main house and carriage house , superintendents cottage , barns , and carpenters shop . The main house is a -story stuccoed masonry building in the Italianate style. It has a large 2-story service wing. The carriage house is a 2-story masonry building with a gable roof.</p><br>
<p>The house was built by Samuel Sloan and his wife, Margaret Elmendorf Sloan, in Garrison, New York, as their summer estate, which they called Oulasgisket. Sloan, best known for his 32-year-long presidency of the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad, was a prominent 19th century railroad magnate. Now consisting of 16 acres, the original estate comprised several hundred acres, consisting of outbuildings, barns, and, ultimately, three large summer homes built as wedding presents for three of his children. The house was originally approximately 8,000 square feet and was built in the mid-nineteenth-century Gothic style then popular in the United States.</p><br>
<p>His son and daughter-in-law, Katherine and Samuel Sloan, Jr., inherited the estate in 1907 and began large scale changes and modifications. The original American Indian name, Oulagiskit, was changed to Lisburne Grange, in honor of the birthplace of Samuel Sloan, Sr. in Lisburne, County Down, Ireland. The house itself was expanded by approximately 5,000 square feet and completely redesigned in the then more-popular Italianate style, largely eliminating all Gothic traces. In addition, Fletcher Steele, one Americas most famous landscape architects of the first half of the 20th century, was hired to redesign and expand the existing landscaping. His work was performed in the late 1920s and resulted in a series of gardens and vistas that were widely admired as examples of his work. Steeles last piece of work for the Sloans was a replacement summerhouse, completed in 1937 and inspired by Chinese architecture which Steele encountered in a 1934 trip to China.</p><br>
<p>Following the death of Katherine Sloan in the early 1950s, the estate was ultimately sold to its first non-Sloan owners, who occupied the property until 2010, when it was sold again. Remarkably, Lisburne Grange was owned by only three families for almost 150 years.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
<p>Walter Thompson House and Carriage House is a historic home located at Philipstown in Putnam County, New York. The house was named North Redoubt after the American Revolutionary War redoubt on the hill next to the house. It was built between 1883 and 1890 and is a two-story half-timbered building on a stone foundation in the Tudor Revival style. It has a hipped roof whose overhang is supported by heavy timber brackets. The carriage house consists of two wings connected by a hyphen. The main wing has a gable roof and is topped by a cupola with domical roof.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
<p>The J.H.C. Petersen&#39;s Sons Wholesale Building was a historic building located in downtown Davenport, Iowa, United States. It was built in 1910 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The building was one of five buildings that were a part of the J.H.C. Petersens Sons Store. It was built as a warehouse between 1909 and 1910 during a period of expanding sales for the store. It stood between the Schick&#39;s Express and Transfer Co. building and the former Schauder Hotel. All three of these buildings along with the Clifton-Metropolitan Hotel on the corner of River Drive and Main Street were torn down to make way for a parking structure and the Davenport Skybridge. The property was delisted from the National Register in 2014.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>Designed by the Davenport architectural firm of Clausen & Clausen, the building expresses a local adaptation of the Chicago Commercial style. Its internal structure is conservatively expressed in the facade. The exterior was covered in brick, which allowed for the use of large windows and improved daylight illumination on the interior. The wide segmented arches on the fourth floor and above the main entrance are simply decorative elements.</p><br>
<p>The Edmund Gleason Farm is a historic district in Valley View, Ohio, United States. The core house was built in 1851 and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978 along with another building, on a 2 acre property. The historic designation was expanded in 1993 to add 13 acre including a dairy barn.</p><br>
<p>Gleason&#39;s house is a sandstone structure built into a hillside near the main line of the Ohio and Erie Canal. Its plan is that of a simple rectangle, divided into two bays on the ends and five on the front and rear, with the main entrance in the middle bay of the facade. The ends rise to gables, and elements such as gable returns and an undecorated frieze produce a Greek Revival appearance. The original structure was modified circa 1880, when a shed-roofed wooden porch was constructed; it bears its own ornamentation, including a bracketed frieze and a spindled railing.</p><br>
<p>Gleason and his wife Charlotte settled in present-day Valley View in an unknown year, although his first appearance in the tax records dates from 1843. According to the 1850 census, Gleason was a native of New York, and at the time of the census, he was engaged in farming.</p><br>
<p>Lincoln School is located on the east side of Davenport, Iowa, United States. It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 2002.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Davenport Board of Education did an evaluation of its elementary school facilities in the 1920s as well as a study of the projected growth of the city and where that growth would take place. The projection was for the number of elementary-aged students to rise by almost three thousand students between 1930 and 1950, but no building plan based on these projections was prepared. The elementary school population, however, already rose to that projection by 1936. The board decided at that time to close twelve of its old elementary school buildings and build six new ones. The plan would cost the school district $2.5 million with the federal government contributing 45% of the costs as part of the Public Works Administration. In addition to Lincoln, the new elementary schools included Monroe, Madison, Washington, Jefferson, and McKinley. Lincoln was the only new facility to be built on the location of one of the older buildings.</p><br>
<p>The floor plans for all six school buildings were designed by the Chicago architectural firm of Smith & Childs, and they are all similar in layout. Local architects were employed to design the stylistic features for each building. Davenport architect Howard S. Muesse was chosen for Lincoln School. The building was constructed by Langlois Construction Co. Ground for the new building was broken in 1939 and classes were begun in 1940. Davenport&#39;s population continued to increase after World War II and in 1952 second story classrooms were built on the projecting ends of the building and a two-story addition that included classrooms and a cafeteria in the lower level was added to the northwest corner of the building. Three years later Hoover Elementary School was built further to the east to elevate congestion at both Lincoln and McKinley.</p><br>
<p>Enrollment continued to climb during the 1960s and started to decline in the 1970s. The decline continued into the first decade of the 21st-century. The school became Lincoln Integrated Academy of Arts in 2005, as one of 10 charter schools in the state of Iowa. On April 9, 2012 the Davenport Community School District decided to close Lincoln School at the end of the school year. The decision was based on the need to close a budget deficit and for lack of enrollment. The school district plans to continue maintenance on the building and hopes to find a community use for it.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>Lincoln School is a three-story structure set on a basement composed of steel-reinforced concrete. The exterior is covered in light brown brick that is accented with limestone. A flat roof tops the building. The main entrance into the building is flanked by four, two-story columns in the Corinthian order. The entrance itself is a double door with a large transom above and it is capped with decorative stone. Wrought iron balconies project from the second story above the entrance. The windows are organized in groups of two, they have decorative stone lintels and they are connected to a stone belt-course. The 1952 addition was built using the same brick as the original building, but the window patterns are different.</p><br>
<p>The library, gymnasium, auditorium, science, art, and vocal music rooms were located in the center of the building. Also in the center of the building was a separate community room for use by local citizens. The classrooms were separated from these common areas. A kindergarten room with its own exterior entrance was located in the west wing. The gymnasium, auditorium, and the community room were opposite the main entrance and the school office on the first floor. The library was located above the entrance on the second floor. The science, art, and music rooms were located above the gymnasium, auditorium, and the community room on the third floor. They and their storage rooms were the only rooms on that floor. The back wall of the music room curved and the side walls narrowed toward the entrance.</p><br>
<p>McKinley Elementary School is located on the east side of Davenport, Iowa, United States. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Davenport Board of Education did an evaluation of its elementary school facilities in the 1920s as well as a study of the projected growth of the city and where that growth would take place. The projection was for the number of elementary-aged students to rise by almost three thousand students between 1930 and 1950, but no building plan based on these projections was prepared. The elementary school population, however, already rose to that projection by 1936. The board decided at that time to close twelve of its old elementary school buildings and build six new ones. The plan would cost the school district $2.5 million with the federal government contributing 45% of the costs as part of the Public Works Administration. In addition to McKinley, the new elementary schools included Monroe, Lincoln, Madison, Washington, and Jefferson.</p><br>
<p>The floor plans for all six school buildings were designed by the Chicago architectural firm of Smith & Childs, and they are all similar in layout. Local architects were employed to design the stylistic features for each building. The Davenport architectural firm of Kruse & Parrish was chosen for McKinley. The building was constructed by Tunnicliff Construction Co. Ground for the new building was broken in 1939 and classes were begun in 1940. Davenport&#39;s population continued to increase after World War II and in 1953 second story classrooms were built on the projecting ends of the building and a two-story addition that included classrooms and a cafeteria in the lower level was added to the northwest corner of the building. Two years later Hoover Elementary School was built to the west to elevate congestion at both McKinley and Lincoln. Enrollment continued to climb during the 1960s and started to decline in the 1970s. The decline has continued into the first decade of the 21st-century.</p><br>

<p>McKinley Elementary School is a three-story structure set on a basement composed of steel-reinforced concrete. The exterior is covered in dark red brick that is accented with limestone. A flat roof tops the building. The classrooms at both ends of the building project slightly from the main facade. There is a bay window on the south side. The main entrance into the building is a tripartite door with a Gothic arch transom above. It is capped with heavy decorative stonework that features a carving of a book and beehive above the door. The library windows above the entrance are also surrounded by stone. The roof level features crenellated brick with a stone coping. The windows are organized in groups of two, they have decorative stone lintels and they are connected to a stone belt-course. The 1953 addition was built using the same brick and stone belt-course as the original building.</p><br>

<p>The Walsh Flats/Langworth Building was located in downtown Davenport, Iowa, United States. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Langworth Building was a rare combination of automobile showroom on the main floor and apartments located above. The building reflects two new trends in building types that appeared in Davenport at the turn of the 20th-century. The first trend was the construction of multiple-family apartment buildings with Neoclassical features and composition. The second trend is the appearance of showrooms for auto dealers and garages in response to the arrival of the automobile.</p><br>
<p>Walsh Flats is noteworthy as the residence of Dr. C.L. Barewald. Barewald was a Socialist who ran for mayor of Davenport in 1918 and lost by only a few votes. However, two other Socialists, George Peck and Walter Bracher, were elected aldermen from two predominantly German wards. In 1920 Barewald won a significant majority of the votes and was elected mayor. The two Socialist aldermen were also returned to office. His election may have come about because German voters were dissatisfied with the Democratic partys war stance and the Republican partys prohibition stance. During his term in office several public works projects were begun. They include the extension of Kirkwood sewer and the construction of a municipal natatorium on the riverfront. His term in office, however, was marked by office and fiscal upheaval. His policies put hundreds of unemployed people back to work, but his spending to accomplish this was not sanctioned by a fiscally conservative electorate. Barewald and the two aldermen were voted out of office in 1922. The building itself exemplifies Barewalds austere lifestyle and symbolic of the Socialists populist political stance.</p><br>
<p>The automobile dealership eventually moved to the north side of the city, but an auto repair shop remained in the back. Walsh Flats-Langworth Building was located between the Scott County Courthouse and Davenport City Hall. Several years after it was torn down the Davenport Police Department headquarters were built on the property.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The Neoclassical style building was designed by Davenport architect Gustav Hanssen and completed in 1910. It was four stories tall and the exterior was composed of brick and stone that were placed over a metal frame. It featured a 20-bay main facade. There were four stairhalls that were indicated by two windows and a decorative panel that were grouped vertically beneath a round keystone arch. The stairhalls indicate the four-part arrangement of both the salesroom area and the apartments on the upper floor. Plate glass filled the shopfront fenestration.</p><br>
<p>The Laurel–Rex Fire Company House, consisting of the Laurel Fire Companys engine house and the Rex Hook & Ladder Companys truck house, is a historic fire station located in York City, York County, Pennsylvania. The oldest building, the Laurel engine house, was built in 1878, and is a two-story, brick building in the Italianate style. The original engine house was expanded in 1887 with a horse stable and in 1892 with a ladder truck house. It has a three-story bell tower on the southwest corner and a second faux tower atop the roof on the northwest corner. It measures 48 by.</p><br>
<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.</p><br>
<h2>Laurel Engine House</h2><br>
<p>On Thursday May 10, 1877, at a meeting of the Laurel Fire Company, the contract for the construction of the Laurel engine house was awarded to Philip H., Schnable and Harrison Stair for $6,780. Both men were active members of the fire company.</p><br>
<p>At the June 1877 meeting of the Laurel Fire Company, H.P. Schnable notified the Laurel that the firm of Schnable and Stair had been dissolved. By unanimous vote of the members in attendance the Laurel awarded the contract to build the engine house to Harrison Stair. Stair submitted his bond to the Laurel and a crew began tearing down the old building standing on the lot to prepare the lot for construction.</p><br>
<p>On Tuesday evening, July 24, 1877, a ceremonial laying of the cornerstone was held at the construction site for the Laurel engine house. The ceremony was opened with music from Professor Kissinger&#39;s Worth Infantry Band, followed by a prayer from Reverend J. O. Miller, D.D. James B. Ziegler, Esq., President of the Laurel Fire Company, delivered the address, followed by the laying of the cornerstone in place. Reverend Doctor Miller again addressed the crowd, and the band played again as the crowd dispersed.</p><br>
<p>On Saturday November 17, 1877, the Little General weather vane was relocated to the tower of the Laurel&#39;s new engine house.</p><br>
<p>On February 22, 1878, the new Laurel engine house was completed and occupied.</p><br>
<p>On Thursday May 2, 1878, the Laurel engine house was dedicated with a grand parade and a ceremony at the new engine house, followed by a banquet on the second floor of the fire station. At 9:00 p.m. a grand reception soiree was held in the hall on the second floor. Approximately 80 couples attended the dance.</p><br>
<p>The new Laurel engine house was situated on the northeast corner of South Duke Street and East King Street. The engine house was 33 feet wide on the Duke Street side, 80 feet on the King Street side, and had an open yard of 33 by 50 feet. The main building is 42 feet tall, and a tower, 12 feet square, stands 57 feet tall to the top of the brick work, with a wood belfry of 19.5 feet, atop which was a flag pole of 35.5 feet. The tower projects 24 inches from the main building on both sides. The building was painted a light stone color, with the hoods, quoins and cornice painted an imitation of brown sandstone. Two double doors enter the tower on the west and south sides, a double door was on the south side of the building near the southeast corner of the building, and on the east side a double door on the northern half opened into the yard. Mr. Beaton Smith was the architect.</p><br>
<p>On the interior of the building, on the ground floor was an apparatus room with 15 foot high ceilings, The walls were covered with plaster with a sand finish, laid off in courses of ashlar. The walls had four foot high wainscoting. Running down the center of the room was a girder supported by two Corinthian columns. Behind the apparatus room was a parlor or meeting room, 19.5 feet by 32 feet, separated from the apparatus room by a partition wall. The floor was covered by a Brussels carpet. At the rear of the parlor was a door leading to the lobby at the King Street exterior door, and a stairway led to the second floor from the lobby.</p><br>
<p>On the second floor, was a large hall, 30 by 70 feet with 18 foot ceilings. The walls were finished with a plaster cornice, and the ceiling had three plaster center pieces from which three chandeliers were to be hung. A small ante room in the tower provided access to a stage at the west end of the hall. At the east end of the hall was a small room that could serve as a cloakroom or dressing room.</p><br>
<h2>Laurel Stables</h2><br>
<p>In January 1886, the members of the Laurel erected horse stalls in the apparatus room for the purpose of acquiring horses for the company. By January 18, 1886, the Laurel had acquired a pair of iron-gray horses for use by the company. On Friday, March 12, 1886, the members of the Laurel agreed to purchase two large bay horses from Mr. Ben Kendig after testing the horses and finding them satisfactory.</p><br>
<p>On Thursday, March 11, 1886, the Laurel received permission to remove the columns running down the center of the apparatus room that support a beam in the ceiling, and to replace the columns with trusses, to make more room for using their newly acquired horses to pull the fire apparatus. The request was approved by the Town Council.</p><br>
<p>In late February 1887, the Laurel had built temporary stables onto the rear of the Engine house until permanent stables would be built around them. They also removed the horse stalls from the apparatus room of the engine house. The two arched doorways to the apparatus room on the front facade were replaced by a single rectangular doorway.</p><br>
<h2>Rex Truck House</h2><br>
<p>The first truck house for the Rex Hook and Ladder Company was built in the 100 block of East Market Street, and was occupied on Tuesday July 26, 1887. It was a frame building, 16 feet wide and 65 feet deep.</p><br>
<p>By 1891, the Rex was in need of new quarters. The truck house on East Market Street was too small, and could not be properly heated. The stable was without sufficient light or proper ventilation, and was damp. The horses contracted a chronic cough.</p><br>
<p>On July 7, 1891, the city passed an ordinance that, in part, authorized "six thousand, two hundred and fifty dollars; -for the erection of a building on South Duke Street, on lot adjoining the Laurel Fire Company building, for the use of the Rex Hook and Ladder Company", Common Council Bill No. 28, authorizing the building of a truck house for the Rex Hook and Ladder Company passed on August 10, 1891. The Select Council passed the bill on September 1, 1891.</p><br>
<p>At a meeting of the Fire Committee on September 3, 1891, plans submitted by architect Dempwolf were accepted by the committee, and a notice to contractors to bid was approved. The truck house would be 21 feet wide, with a truck room 56 feet deep and stables 24 feet deep. The front was designed to look as a continuation of the Laurel engine house, and a small turret on the roof to conform with the laurel&#39;s tower.</p><br>
<p>Four contractors submitted bids to construct the building. The Fire Committee awarded the contract to Jacob Seachrist & Son for $3,300. Work was expected to commence the following week.</p><br>
<p>The first meeting of the Rex Hook & Ladder Company in their new home was held on Wednesday, February 24, 1892. Two double doors and a small entrance door opened into the apparatus room, 60 feet long and 19 feet wide. The walls and ceiling were of a block sanded finish, and were wainscoted on the first floor. At the rear, an arch traversing the width of the apparatus room leads to the horse stalls, with two stalls and the ability to add a third stall. The stables were 20 feet deep.</p><br>
<p>On the second floor was the meeting room or parlor, 52 feet long, 19 feet wide and 19 feet high, the walls and ceiling finished in white. The room was prepared to have two sets of chandeliers installed. To the rear of the hall was the drivers room, a small room for the departments alarm battery, and a passage to the roof.</p><br>
<p>On Memorial Day, Monday May 30, 1892, the Rex truck house was officially dedicated, along with the dedication of the Rexs new Hayes aerial ladder truck and the Laurels new LaFrance steam fire engine. A parade was held upon the streets of York, followed by a demonstration of the Rex&#39;s new Hayes aerial ladder truck in the square, and a banquet later that evening in the Laurel engine house. The dedication ceremony, originally planned to take place in the morning prior to the parade, was postponed due to rain and conducted after the banquet that evening.</p><br>
<h2>Changes To The Buildings</h2><br>
<p>On May 17, 1883, during a regular meeting of the Laurel Fire Company, an order of $8.00 was granted to F. H. Heckert for the installation of a bathroom in the engine house.</p><br>
<p>On August 5, 1884, during a regular meeting of the Laurel Fire Company, a motion is passed authorizing the installation of electric lights in the engine house. Lights were installed by 1886.</p><br>
<p>In the fall of 1893, the facade of the Rex was altered to enlarge the bay door. The small entrance door was removed from the front of the building.</p><br>
<p>In March and April 1895, carpenters remodeled the rear of the Laurel engine house. The second floor above the horse stalls was raised several feet, and a section of the second floor, 15 by 20 feet was partitioned off to provide a sleeping room for the drivers.</p><br>
<p>In July 1895, Spangler Brothers, contractors and builders of East York, completed renovations to the Rex truck house. Most of the wood work on the first floor was replaced, including rotten and decaying flooring and joists. The stables were set back even with the Laurel&#39;s engine house, enlarging the apparatus room by twenty feet. A large skylight was placed over the stables.</p><br>
<p>In 1906, the Laurel engine house was outfitted to be heated by steam.</p><br>
<p>On Friday December 20, 1907, the Rex Hook and Ladder Company was instructed by the Fire Committee not to respond to fire calls with the exception of a large fire in the business section of the city. The condition of the flooring in the Rex was so bad that the horses were to be carefully walked outside, the apparatus pulled out of the station by hand, and the horses hitched to the ladder truck outside to respond to a fire. A new asphalt floor was not completed until Monday, January 20, 1908. The Rex ladder truck was stored in a temporary frame and canvas structure erected on Duke Street until the floor was completed.</p><br>
<p>In January 1914, the stables of the Laurel engine house were being renovated, and a new wood block flooring was being laid in the stables. The horses were temporarily quartered in the Keystone stables at Queen and King Streets. The Laurel would be delayed in answering alarms as they had to bring the horses back to the engine house to answer alarms.</p><br>
<p>In July 1940, a new frame belfry was constructed on top of the tower of the Laurel station. The belfry was painted a cream color, and the wrought iron work was re-attached to the top. The Little General weather vane was also returned to the top of the tower. The work was performed by a crew of Works Progress Administration (WPA) workers. New window sills and a new exterior paint job followed that summer.</p><br>
<p>On Monday, March 11, 1957, city workers cut a doorway between the Laurel and Rex fire stations. Prior to that, firemen would have to walk around the exterior of the building to go from one station to the other.</p><br>
<h2>Fires and Other Incidents</h2><br>
<p>On Wednesday, March 13, 1912, at about 5:45 p.m., an electric wire running to the tower of the Laurel engine house snagged on a guard of the Rex truck house, causing a fire on the roof of the Rex station. A hole of about 4 inches in diameter was burned in the roof.</p><br>
<p>On Thursday June 19, 1913, at about 10:15 p.m. fire was discovered in the frame hayloft located to the rear of the stables of the Laurel and Rex fire houses. The fire started in the floor area of the Rex loft, at the north end of the structure, among the bailed hay and loose straw. The fire extended to a frame back building at 117 East King Street. Lost in the fire was six tons of hay, seven tons of straw, a number of ladders, hay forks, stable tools and about $1,000 worth of fire hose.</p><br>
<p>On the evening of Wednesday April 2, 1919, a chimney fire occurred at the Laurel station. Accumulated soot in the chimney was ignited by heat from the steam plant. The Laurel firemen extinguished the fire.</p><br>
<p>On Tuesday August 26, 1924, at 8:24 p.m. Laurel Driver Edward Kroll was in front of the station when the apparatus room lights got unusually bright, and then the power went out. Kroll saw that the lights in the adjoining Rex station were still lit. Just then a man came running to the station to report that the building was on fire. Fireman John "Gummy" Blymire was ill with heart disease and was sleeping in the bedroom when he awoke to smoke filling the room. Driver Kroll saw flames shooting from the windows of the tower, and sounded the alarm. He then pulled out the Laurel&#39;s rig and began to fight the fire. The fire damaged the tower, including a number of items being stored in the tower. The fire, caused by a short circuit, caused several thousand dollars in damage. The Laurel, Vigilant Union, Rescue and Rex fire companies responded. Fireman Paul Kennedy received a hand injury while fighting the fire.</p><br>
<p>On Wednesday October 1, 1947, shortly after noon, a fire was discovered on the roof of the Rex truck house. Workmen from the General Roofing Company had just broke for lunch, as they were in the process of replacing the roof on the Rex station. The fire was extinguished in several minutes and the damage was negligible.</p><br>
<p>On Wednesday, July 1, 1987, at about 6:00 p.m. the flag pole atop the tower of the Laurel engine house was struck by lightning. The 35 foot fir pole was split in half, with a section the size of a two-by-four falling to the street.</p><br>
<p>New Freedom is a historic railway station located at New Freedom, York County, Pennsylvania. It was built about 1870 by the Northern Central Railway, and is a 1 1/2-story, rectangular frame building with a gable roof and overhanging eaves. The building ceased to be used as a railway station in 1960.</p><br>
<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1995 as the New Freedom Railroad Station, Northern Central Railway.</p><br>
