<p>The Samuel Crockett House, also known as Forge Seat, is a property in Brentwood, Tennessee, United States, that was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988. It was home of Samuel Crockett, son of Andrew Crockett, whose home is also NRHP-listed as Andrew Crockett House. When listed the property included five contributing buildings, one non-contributing building, and one non-contributing structure, on an area of 18.5 acre.</p><br>
<p>Andrew Crocket, Samuels father, received a 640 acre grant for Revolutionary War services. He built his first log home on the southeast side of what is now Brentwood in 1799. His son, Samuel Crockett built a two-story brick home nearby, which was completed ca. 1808. The home became known as "Forge Seat" because of the iron forge located on the property. Samuel Crockett and his son, Andrew, made iron implements here and specialized in rifle making. Crocketts rifles "were identified by their fine craftsmanship and the initials S. & A. C. engraved on the barrels." On his way to New Orleans and the War of 1812, Andrew Jackson stopped here and purchased rifles to arm his soldiers. It is also said that Davy Crockett stopped on his way to Texas as well.</p><br>
<p>Samuel and Andrew Crockett and other family members are buried in the cemetery nearby.</p><br>
<p>The log building containing the forge and the seat of the stone forge itself still remain. There has been no other early blacksmith or forge site found in the county.</p><br>

<p>Hincheyville Historic District is a 53 acre historic district in Franklin, Tennessee. It is one of seven local historic districts in Franklin and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982, with boundary revisions in 2020.</p><br>
<p>Hincheyville was Franklin&#39;s first residential addition, subdivided in 1819. It was located outside the original town boundaries and was subdivided for development by Hinchey Petway, a wealthy merchant for whom the area is named.</p><br>
<p>A few substantial homes were built in Hincheyville before the Civil War, but significant residential development did not occur until the latter decades of the 19th century. The oldest building in the area dates from circa 1828 and most were built in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The Colonial Revival, Bungalow and English Tudor architectural styles were popular in the 1920s and 1930s.</p><br>
<p>When listed, the National Register historic district included 70 contributing buildings, 20 non-contributing buildings, and one non-contributing site. Most are single-family residences. The antebellum St. Paul&#39;s Episcopal Church is located in the district and is separately listed on the National Register; in 1988 a National Register nomination document described it as "one of the finest remaining" Gothic Revival style churches in middle Tennessee.</p><br>
<p>The Hincheyville historic district is one of five National Register historic districts in the city of Franklin. Four of these, including Hincheyville, are also designated as local historic districts by city ordinance, making them subject to design review. Franklin has seven local historic districts.</p><br>
<p>St. Paul&#39;s Episcopal Church is a historic church in Franklin, Tennessee, that was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972. In 1988, a National Register study of Williamson County historical resources described it as "one of the finest remaining" Gothic Revival style churches in middle Tennessee. The building was completed in 1834.</p><br>
<p>It is included in the Hincheyville Historic District, also listed on the National Register. St. Pauls is a parish of the Episcopal Diocese of Tennessee, in fact the dioceses (and state&#39;s) oldest congregation.</p><br>
<p>Huff&#39;s Store is a general store in Burwood, Tennessee. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988. It is a one-story building with a hipped roof that was built in 1911.</p><br>
<p>The store is one of the last general stores still operating in Middle Tennessee. It was owned and operated by Kenneth E. Huff, one of eight children in the Huff family, which acquired the store in 1937, until his death on May 23, 2014. His son, Charlie Huff now operates the store. A brother, Glenn Huff, operated a store in Brentwood called Huff&#39;s Grocery.</p><br>
<p>In a 1988 study of historic resources in Williamson County, Huff&#39;s Store was evaluated to be one of the "two best remaining store buildings from the early 20th century" outside of Franklin (along with the Thompson Store at Duplex). As of 1988, it was described as "remarkably unaltered."</p><br>
<p>Several television commercials have been made at Huff&#39;s Store.</p><br>
<p>According to the NRHP nomination, "The store built in 1911 by Millard and Vance Akin who ran a general store at this location until 1937. The Akin brothers used the building to sell general produce and utilized the small balcony area for the sale of shoes. In 1937 the store was purchased by R.G. Huff who operated the store into the 1960s when ownership and operation were taken over by his son, Ken Huff."</p><br>
<p>Market Square in Miamisburg, Ohio is a square located at the intersection of Central Avenue and Main Street. It is also the name of a 10.4 acre historic district including the square and more, that was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.</p><br>
<p>A date of significance for the location is 1850. The district includes Second Empire, Italianate, and Queen Anne in 50 contributing buildings.</p><br>

<p>The district includes buildings on both sides of Main Street, including at the junction with Central Avenue and at the junction at Linden Avenue.</p><br>
<p>The Central Geneva Historic District is a set of 102 buildings and structures in Geneva, Illinois. Of those, 68 contribute to the district&#39;s historical integrity. The district is representative of southern Geneva, south of Illinois Route 38. Among the noted buildings is the Kane County Courthouse and the Frank Lloyd Wright-designed P. D. Hoyt House. The district was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1979, and was enlarged in 2017.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Central Geneva Historic District principally consists of land from the original platted settlement, now the southern half of the town. It is primarily residential, but does have a commercial sector lining W. State Street (Illinois Route 38). Among the public buildings are a public library, city hall, and county courthouse. The only other major road intersecting the district is S. First Street (Illinois Route 31). Most houses are two-story frame residences built between 1840 and 1900, principally from a vernacular style. Geneva&#39;s later identification as a scenic shopping area encouraged the city to invest in the restoration of several structures. The district was added to the National Register of Historic Places on September 10, 1979.</p><br>

<p>The John Pope House, also known as Eastview, is a historic house in Burwood, Williamson County, Tennessee. It incorporates hall-parlor plan architecture and single pen architecture.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The original part of the house was built of logs circa 1806 by slaves for Reverend John C. Pope, a veteran of the American Revolutionary War and a lay Methodist minister. Originally it "was one of the more ornate log residences built during this period in the county with wainscoting, chair rails and plaster walls." He owned 2,200 acres by 1805, and 37 slaves by 1820. He deeded land for the construction of a chapel nearby in 1818. He was married twice, and he had 15 children. His granddaughter, Edith Pope, was the president of the Nashville No. 1 chapter of the United Daughters of the Confederacy and second editor of the Confederate Veteran.</p><br>
<p>The house has exterior brick chimneys and a standing metal seam gable roof and rests on a stone foundation. It was modified c.1880 with addition of weatherboard and with replacement/addition of four-over-four sash windows. In c.1920 a multi-light entrance doorway and a one-story frame addition to the rear were added. The addition gained metal siding c.1940. The main (east) facade gained, c.1950, a one-story gable roof porch with square Doric columns and square baluster railing; a similar porch has also been added to the north facade.</p><br>
<p>Its interior includes original Federal-style mantels on its second floor. As of 1988 the house sat "on a hillside on a several hundred acre farm and retains its original site and setting."</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988. When listed the property included one contributing building and one non-contributing structure, on 1.8 acre.</p><br>

<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2005.</p><br>
<p>Mirador is a historic home located near Greenwood, Albemarle County, Virginia. It was built in 1842 for James M. Bowen , and is a two-story, brick structure on a raised basement in the Federal style. It has a deck-on-hip roof capped by a Chinese Chippendale railing. The front facade features a portico with paired Tuscan order columns. The house was renovated in the 1920s by noted New York architect William Adams Delano , who transformed the house into a Georgian Revival mansion.</p><br>
<p>Mirador was the childhood home of Nancy Langhorne Astor, who was born in Danville, Virginia. Her father Chiswell Langhorne&#39;s finances were decimated by the American Civil War, but he later made a fortune in the tobacco business and railroads and was able to purchase Mirador. Nancy Langhorne, later Lady Astor, lived at the home from 1892 to 1897, and her sister Irene, later the wife of artist Charles Dana Gibson and a model for the Gibson Girl, also spent part of her youth at the estate.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<h2>Grounds</h2><br>
<p>Mirador is surrounded by extensive landscaped grounds that include a sunken lawn and a walk bordered by serpentine brick walls. Near the main house is an antebellum period brick kitchen-like dependency and an antebellum period frame smokehouse, an antebellum two-story brick and frame dwelling known as the Corner House, and a brick Colonial Revival stable dating to about 1910. Beyond the house are the farm buildings built in the 1920s including a Colonial Revival dairy barn complex arranged around a cobblestone courtyard, a brick farm manager&#39;s house, a concrete block tenant house, two lakes, and the Sam Black Tavern, a log building built ca.1769 and moved to the property from the neighboring Seven Oaks Farm.</p><br>
<h2>Outbuildings</h2><br>
<h3>Sam Black&#39;s Tavern</h3><br>
<p>The cabin was built by Samuel Black. The cabin originally sat adjacent to USA Route 250 at the front of the Seven Oaks property, the building&#39;s original site. In 1978, the tavern was moved away from the road further into the Seven Oaks property. The tavern was dismantled and moved again to Mirador Farm in 2001. The single story and garret, v-notched log building has the basic form and appearance it had attained by 1930. Most of the wall logs are original, and other construction materials are older materials reused from other contexts. The building features a wood-shingled gable roof, a granite foundation and interior chimney, a front porch on skinned cedar log posts, and six-over-six windows. The interior is divided into two rooms by a log partition and the stone chimney, which includes two fireplaces and a bread warmer. Other interior features include exposed log walls, batten doors on strap hinges, hewn ceiling joists, and pegged floor boards.</p><br>
<p>There were several notable visitors who went to the tavern. Thomas Jefferson stopped at Blacks Tavern eleven recorded times between 1768 and 1772, according to his memorandum books. This was while he was practicing law in Albemarle County and surrounding areas and traveling frequently to Staunton, located over the Blue Ridge. Often Jefferson stopped at Blacks for meals or to feed his horse. In August 1768, he noted that the visit included entertainment, his term for an overnight stay. Another famous visitor was George Rogers Clark, who stayed overnight in 1777. Meriwether Lewis also stopped at the cabin at least once.</p><br>

<p>The Montana ExpoPark  is a fairground located in the city of Great Falls, Montana, United States. The 133 acre grounds contain 35 buildings, a horse racing track, grandstands, and the Four Seasons Arena—multi-purpose sports and exhibition arena. The site is the host of the Montana State Fair as well as agricultural shows, rodeos, basketball tournaments, and funfairs. The six original structures of the fairgrounds were added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.</p><br>
<h2>Construction and buildings</h2><br>
<p>The original fairgrounds were designed by Gordon G. Cottier and George M. Shanley. The original buildings, constructed in the Art Deco style, were the Atrium, Family Living Center, Fine Arts Building, Livestock Pavilion (now known as the Heritage Building), Mercantile Building, and Trades and Industries Building. Shanley designed the first building to be erected, the Livestock Pavilion, and it was constructed in 1919. Most of the buildings, however, were built between 1928 and 1938. Many of the structures completed between 1934 and 1938 were paid for by grants from the Public Works Administration. In 1939, the Montana State Fair, which had previously been held in Helena, permanently moved to Great Falls.</p><br>
<p>The fairgrounds also include three large parks: Central Park, the Family Living Park, and South Park. Other large structures include the FFA Building, the new Livestock Pavilion, the Paddock Club, and the Poultry/Rabbit Barn.</p><br>
<p>The 5,000-seat Four Seasons Arena was built in 1979. The 15,000 ft&sup2; Exhibition Hall (capable of seating up to 1,500 people) was constructed adjacent to the arena in 1995.</p><br>
<p>The annual Montana State Fair, which celebrated its 80th anniversary in 2011 (no fairs in 1942-45 nor 2020), draws more than 150,000 people to the fairgrounds each year.</p><br>
<h2>Management</h2><br>
<p>Cascade County owns the fairgrounds. By 1987, the fairgrounds were more than $600,000 in debt and Cascade County&#39;s management of the Fairgrounds and Four Seasons Arena was heavily criticized. In 1988, Cascade County signed an agreement under which the city of Great Falls took over management of the fairgrounds and Four Seasons Arena. This agreement expired after 15 years, and on November 12, 2002, Cascade County signed a formal agreement to allow SMG World to take over management of the fairgrounds and arena.</p><br>
<p>The cooling system under the practice ice at Four Seasons Arena failed in April 2003, and a consultant estimated the cost of repairs at $450,000. This was money the county did not have, and the practice ice closed permanently. Due to problems with the ice cooling system and the extensive turnaround time need to transform the arena from an ice rink to other uses, SMG proposed closing the main ice rink permanently in 2005. The rink stayed open for a short period each year thereafter, but the ice rink finally closed in 2006.</p><br>
<p>Cascade County renewed its contract with SMG in 2007. The new two-year contract paid SMG $84,413 a year (about $4,000 less than the 2002 contract), and included a payment of 15 percent of operating revenues of all income over $2.5 million. SMG also received 7.5 percent of all concessions sales (down from 10 percent in the old contract). Cascade County also agreed to subsidize the fairgrounds and Four Seasons Arena by $750,000 a year, and pay the wages of all SMG employees operating the facilities.</p><br>
<p>In 2009, Cascade County declined to renew SMG&#39;s contract, concluding it had learned enough to manage the fairgrounds and arena on its own.</p><br>
<h2>Renovation</h2><br>
<p>A major study by Cascade County and Montana ExpoPark in 2010 proposed making significant changes to the fairgrounds. The study, conducted by Markin Consulting, disclosed that the race track grandstands concrete foundation was crumbling, the livestock pavilions sheet metal walls were rusting, the horse barns were poorly ventilated and lit, and Four Seasons Arena suffered from poor acoustics and limited seating. The report outlined a number of options, including spending $7 million to $9 million to replace the grandstand, spending another $35 million to build a larger arena, and paying $12.6 million to demolish all existing horse barns and service facilities and build a 2,000-to-3,000 seat track just for horse racing.</p><br>
<p>Less radical solutions also existed. Four Seasons Arena could be converted into an exhibition hall, and the current Exhibition Hall transformed into a banquet hall, at a cost of $2 million. The report said an alternative to the demolition of all existing equestrian facilities would be to construct a new 300-stall horse barn.</p><br>
<p>The study did not advocate construction of a large facility like MetraPark Arena, the 10,000-seat arena and 6,500-seat grandstand in Billings.</p><br>
<p>In 2018, when concrete began falling from the underside of the grandstands, the situation reached a crisis point. At that time, the county commissioners voted to replace the grandstands. The underside was closed for the 2018 State Fair, though the grandstands themselves continued to be used that year, and demolition began immediately thereafter. By the 2019 fair, a new structure was complete. The next year saw the COVID-19 pandemic force</p><br>
<p>the fair to go on hiatus.</p><br>

<p>The former Ski Lift No. 1 begins on Aspen Street in Aspen, Colorado, United States, and climbs up the slopes of Aspen Mountain. It was built in the late 1940s on the site of Aspen&#39;s first ski lift, known as the Boat Tow. In 1990 it was listed under that name on the National Register of Historic Places, one of only two ski lifts in the country so recognized.</p><br>
<p>It was originally built with motors and other equipment left over from Aspen&#39;s days as a silver mining center in the late 19th century. The development of the ski area that began with the lift began the revival of Aspen into the upscale resort town it has since become, which in turn helped establish downhill skiing as a major winter recreational activity in the Western United States after World War II.</p><br>
<p>When the current structure was opened, Aspen claimed it was the longest ski lift in the world. It was closed in 1971, but all its facilities remain on the mountain. It is one of the few remaining single-chair chairlifts in the United States. A small park and commemorative plaque have been established at the bottom station. One of the original boats was on display there as well, but has since been removed.</p><br>
<h2>Structure</h2><br>
<p>The bottom station of the 6,800 ft lift is located on the east side of South Aspen Street between East Dean Court and Gilbert Street. It is on a small level rise in an area which otherwise gradually slopes up to the base of the mountain. Around it on the block are chalet-style houses and condominiums. The area leading to South Aspen is open, with a small concrete area where one of the first lift boats was displayed in the past. Opposite the lift station is an unpaved parking lot.</p><br>
<p>The station itself is an L-shaped steel latticework structure with the long end running parallel to the ground for 30 feet (10 m) at a height of 10 feet (3 m). In the middle a substructure below supports the wide bullwheel around which the lift cable is looped. It drew its energy from another pulley system connected to the engine formerly in the 20-foot-high (6 m) short section, based below the lift&#39;s grade.</p><br>
<p>Along the cable single metal chairs hang at regular intervals. The cable, supported by 49 towers, climbs to its top station on a false summit between Spar and Keno gulches, approximately 10,480 ft in elevation, 2,540 ft above the base.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The history of Ski Lift No. 1 is, in its early stages, intertwined with the history of skiing in Colorado and Aspen&#39;s founding as a mining town. The construction and opening of the lift in 1947 were a major turning point in both the history of the city and the development of recreational skiing in the United States.</p><br>
<h3>1857–1935: Skiing in Colorado</h3><br>
<p>The use of skis for foot transportation, now known as Nordic skiing, has been documented in what is today Colorado since at least 1857. Residents of the isolated mining towns in the high Rocky Mountains found them absolutely necessary to get around during the severe mountain winters, occasionally holding informal races and competitions to pass the time. Aspen&#39;s earliest settlers, in 1879, learned to make and use such skis, often referred to at the time as "Norwegian snowshoes", from two Swedish immigrants among their number, helping them survive a winter in which the snowfall totaled 52 ft.</p><br>
<p>In the Colorado Silver Boom years of the 1880s, when Aspen was growing at a fantastic rate, miners working midway up the mountain from the town had, in the winter months, developed a method of riding long boards over the snow down the mountain, with a long metal pole between the legs attaching to the rear and used as a brake. It was a forerunner of skiing, used solely to speed their descent to the city&#39;s after-hours attractions, although they would sometimes race each other for fun. After the Sherman Silver Purchase Act was repealed during the Panic of 1893, the collapse of that market led to decades of slow decline, a period referred to today in histories of Aspen as "the quiet years".</p><br>
<p>In the early 1930s Alpine skiing came to the mountains of Colorado. The Arlburg club, a group of Denverites who had been introduced to the sport on visits to Europe, cut the state&#39;s first ski trail near Denver in what is now Winter Park. The next year the second USA national downhill ski championships were held at Estes Park.</p><br>
<h3>1936–45: Early development of skiing in Aspen</h3><br>
<p>Two years after that, 1936, skiing came to Aspen. Bobsledder Billy Fiske and Ted Ryan, an heir of Thomas Fortune Ryan, had been looking for somewhere in America where a ski resort similar to those in Europe could be established. That summer, an Aspen man trying to sell some mining claims to Ryan showed him pictures of the area. Ryan saw good ski terrain in the photos and went to the remote mountain town with Fiske.</p><br>
<p>Frank and Fred Willoughby, sons of another Aspen miner, took the two up the mountain. Before leaving, Fiske bought an option on some property in the area. He and Ryan later had blueprints drawn up for a ski lodge, the Highland Bavarian, and by the end of the year it was under construction. Over the winter it offered guided mountain ski tours.</p><br>
<p>One of the first two guides hired was Swiss skiing champion André Roch, then studying at Reed College in Oregon. He became close friends with the Willoughbys while living at the Hotel Jerome he and fellow guide Gunther Langes waited for the lodge to be completed. By that time Aspen&#39;s population had dwindled into the hundreds. Many of its remaining buildings had fallen into disrepair and been boarded up. Roch noted that they could be purchased for as little as $30 ($ in contemporary dollars.) Roch helped start the Roaring Fork Winter Sports Club, an organization similar to the ones in his native country, at the end of the year. Frank Willoughby was elected president, and Roch taught him and his brother how to ski. These events are today considered the beginning of skiing in Aspen.</p><br>
<p>The lodge opened two days after Christmas and five days after a similar facility at Sun Valley, Idaho, making Aspen the second European-style ski resort in the USA There were more than a hundred visitors that winter. Before he returned to Switzerland that spring, Roch had scouted and marked out a challenging ski route, explaining to the club that it would help Aspen attract major ski races and the tourism that would follow. Willoughby led the club in clearing and marking it that year. When winter came, the city&#39;s Lions Club raised $600 to build the first lift.</p><br>
<p>That lift was the Boat Tow, based on a similar device Ryan had seen on a trip to Kitzbühel in Austria. Two hoists were salvaged from an abandoned mine and powered with an old Model A engine. It was opened early in 1938. Skiers who endured the three-minute, 600 ft ride up in the 12 by four-seat wooden sleds were able to ski one of the steepest and narrowest trails in North America off what was Colorado&#39;s biggest ski lift. A hundred people, paying either 10¢ a ride or 50¢ for the day ($ and $, adjusted for inflation, respectively) took the trip; many had made the difficult and lengthy drive from Denver for the opportunity. The city soon began hosting the annual Southern Rocky Mountain Alpine Championships, which brought more people, including radio personality Lowell Thomas, into Aspen at one time than had been there since the mining days.</p><br>
<p>Further development of Aspens skiing facilities was stalled by World War II. Fiske, who had married an English countess and taken a job in Britain, joined the Royal Air Force and was one of the first Americans to die in combat. The other early principals went into the military when the USA entered the war at the end of 1941. During the war years, new members of the Armys Tenth Mountain Division trained at Camp Hale outside Leadville, on the other side of the Continental Divide from Aspen, and passed through the city during their training in skiing, mountaineering and winter warfare. One instructor, Friedl Pfeifer, was convinced as soon as he saw it that Aspen could be the American equal of Sankt Anton am Arlberg, the Tyrolean resort town in which he had grown up. After the war he and other veterans of the Tenth returned and resumed the work of developing the ski area.</p><br>
<p>More lodges were built and more trails cleared. Pfeifer founded the Aspen ski school, where other veterans of the Tenth found work as instructors. Walter Paepcke, a Chicago businessman who chanced through Aspen on a vacation, saw the potential and began devoting time and money to the new Aspen Skiing Company to realize it.</p><br>
<h3>1946–present: Transformation of Aspen</h3><br>
<p>Everyone agreed that Aspen needed a better lift, one that went all the way to the top, to become a serious resort. Frank Willoughby surveyed a route in 1945. Chairlifts had been developed at Sun Valley before the war, and were in use near Aspen at the now-defunct Red Mountain ski area in Glenwood Springs. In 1946 Oregon&#39;s Hoodoo opened the first double chair. was built.</p><br>
<p>Building the lift cost $250,000 ($ in contemporary dollars). Most labor was locally sourced. Frank Willoughby used a bulldozer to widen fire roads up the mountain. Bob Heron, a Denver engineer who had designed the portable combat lift used by the Tenth in its 1945 assault on Riva Ridge in northern Italy, came up with a similar design for the lifts that cannibalized abandoned mining hoists on the mountain. It was erected by American Steel and Wire, which had built the Sun Valley chairlifts. When the lift was finished late in 1946, Pfeifer and his young daughter were given the honor of the first ride on one of the 124 single chairs.</p><br>
<p>Its significance for the faded mining town was immediately recognized. For Aspen, a columnist for the local newspaper wrote, it meant "a new, good, and profitable way of life... We in Aspen are now carrying the ball." Residents proclaimed that Lift No. 1 was the longest chairlift in the world, regardless of the competing claim made by Sun Valley.</p><br>
<p>The lifts formal opening was held January 11, 1947. Governor-elect William Lee Knous, USA Senator Edwin C. Johnson and other dignitaries came via a special excursion train from Denver. After giving a short speech under a sign reiterating the claim that the lift was the worlds longest, Knous, flanked by Paepcke and Aspens mayor, symbolically christened the lift by breaking a bottle of champagne over one of the chairs. An estimated crowd of 2,000 stayed to see a parade, fireworks and ski jumping demonstrations. The ceremony and the day are considered to have finally ended Aspens "quiet years" between its mining boomtown beginnings and its current cachet as an upscale all-season resort popular with the rich and famous.</p><br>
<p>A year later the lift was featured in a Popular Mechanics cover story as an engineering marvel.</p><br>
<p>It was replaced by a new double chair, Lift 1A, which was also based nearby. Lift 1A only went half the distance its predecessor had, requiring a second lift change to get to the top of the mountain, and eventually it was removed and replaced after Aspen built a gondola all the way to the summit from a new base station several blocks to the east. In 1999 the trees and shrubs that had grown in around Lift 1&#39;s base station were replaced to reveal the original structure.</p><br>
<p>It is one of four extant single-chair lifts in the United States. The area in front of the lift&#39;s bottom station has been named Willoughby Park after Frank Willoughby, and for a while one of the original lift boats was on display. A commemorative plaque has been affixed to the bottom station. The Aspen Historical Society has proposed a skiing museum in the area, possibly including some of the surrounding buildings and the lift itself.</p><br>
<h2>Operation</h2><br>
<p>The ride to the base of Lift No. 2 took, former instructor Klaus Obermeyer recalls, a half hour if it was uninterrupted, which frequently it was not. Blankets were attached to the chairs to keep skiers warm; many nevertheless stopped in the warming hut at the top station before continuing to the summit. Lift No. 2 was less stringently designed and the wheels the cables ran through were right above passengers, often dripping oil and grease on them. The resort promised passengers it would dry clean any clothing stained by those drippings; Obermeyer says it had to do a lot of dry cleaning.</p><br>
<p>Occasionally a dog rode up the chair. According to Obermeyer, Bingo, a St. Bernard belonging to another instructor, Fred Iselin, often climbed the mountain to join his master and the other instructors for lunch. Sometimes the lift operators let Bingo ride up instead.</p><br>
<p>First Methodist Church, Gatlinburg, also known as Gatlinburg First United Methodist Church, in Gatlinburg, Tennessee was designed by Charles I. Barber in Late Gothic Revival style. It was built during 1945–1950, with first worship in 1947. A second building, its education building, and a porch that joins them, was completed in 1961. Both were designed by architectural firm Barber and McMurry. The building was listed on the USA National Register of Historic Places in 2007 for its architecture.</p><br>
<p>It is located on a hillside above the main area of Gatlinburg. The original building is built of Crab Orchard stone from Bluff Mountain, used in foundation and exterior walls, Indiana limestone around the doors and windows, and Illinois slate shingles for the roofs.</p><br>
<p>The Rufus Arndt House in Whitefish Bay, Wisconsin, United States, was built in 1925. It was designed by Ernest Flagg in a style that suggests Tudor Revival and Cotswold Cottage and built by the Arnold F. Meyer & Co.</p><br>
<p>Ernest Flagg was a New York architect known primarily for his grand designs of New York&#39;s 47-story Singer Tower, which was the tallest office building in the world when built in 1908, for buildings at the USA Naval Academy, and for the Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. But Flagg was also interested in producing tasteful, inexpensive homes that the middle class could afford. Toward this end, he designed a system of standardized parts and innovative techniques which could be used to build various house configurations. Common elements include walls of natural stone and concrete poured in wooden forms which could be built even by unskilled workers, no basements, concrete floors, steeply sloped roofs to provide storage space, ridge dormers to provide summer ventilation and light, round-capped chimneys, lack of interior halls to save space, thin interior walls of plastered screen to save space, and standardized fixtures.</p><br>
<p>The Arndt house is one of five of these "Flagg system" homes in its neighbourhood.</p><br>
<p>Caspar Getman Farmstead is a historic home and related farm outbuildings located near Stone Arabia in Montgomery County, New York.

<p>Eloise B. Houchens Center is a Greek Revival style house in Bowling Green, Kentucky. It was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in June 1980.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The house was built circa 1904 by Francis L. Kister, one-time Mayor of Bowling Green, Kentucky, and a local builder of note at the turn of the century. Kister also co-built the St. Joseph Catholic Church in Bowling Green. His family occupied the house for 38 years, and then the Girls Club used it as a "home away from home" for young girls for over twenty years. The Eloise B. Houchens Center for Women, Inc., a non-profit organization, was created in 1975 for the purpose of restoring and preserving the house. The interior includes inlaid wood flooring, intricately carved fireplaces and mantles downstairs, and polished woodwork throughout.</p><br>
<h2>Modern use</h2><br>
<p>The Houchens Center is a cultural and educational center for the Bowling Green, Kentucky community, and a meeting place for clubs, associations, and the individual patrons who make up the membership. The center is also available to non-members for club meetings, workshops, retreats, receptions, parties and weddings. Annual events include the Trees of Christmas in December, when over 30 decorated trees adorn the house. The house is open for tours several times weekly year-round.</p><br>

<p>The Franklin House is a three-story brick historic building located at 464-480 East Broad Street, in Athens, Georgia. It was built in three phases between 1845 and 1860. Originally a mercantile building with an antebellum hotel on the upper floors, from 1865 to 1972 it was a hardware store. In the 1970s it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and in the 1980s it was restored and turned into office space and apartments.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The structure&#39;s architecture displays elements of both Federal and Greek Revival styles. It has a gable roof. Second floor doors on the left side of the building originally opened to a balcony and stair leading to the street. In 1886, a cast-iron front was installed for the first floor.</p><br>
<h2>Early history</h2><br>
<p>The lot for the building was owned by the University of Georgia and was acquired at auction by William L. Mitchell. A silversmith, Asaph K. Childs, occupied a shop on the ground floor. Other early tenants of Franklin House advertising their services included R.L. Wood & Co. offering daguerreotype services and O. Munsen, M.D., "surgeon dentist". The building was sold to John W. Nicholson for $17,000. On July 15, 1871, while under Nicholson&#39;s ownership, a fire occurred in the second and third stories of the building, doing over a thousand dollars worth of damage, "But the almost superhuman energy of the Firemen was so promptly and effectively applied us to very soon get the fire under control, and in half an hour, all danger was over".</p><br>
<h2>Later history</h2><br>
<p>The hotel closed in 1865, and the building was subsequently occupied by the Childs-Nickerson Company (incorporated in 1889 as the Athens Hardware Company) until 1972. The building had become unstable and was to be demolished, but in 1973 the Athens-Clarke Heritage Foundation began raising funds to acquire it. They collected $75,000, including a grant from governor Jimmy Carter, to buy the property. To stabilize the building, the organization asked for a grant from the National Park Service and received $30,000. Hugh Fowler, a local businessman, bought the building in 1977 and began restoring it. He later sold it to Broad Street Associates of Tucker, Georgia, who completed the renovation which turned the building into office space, some of which is now leased by the University of Georgia. The Georgia Trust for Historic Preservation gave them an award in 1983 "for outstanding restoration and adaptive use". Surber and Barber Architects from Atlanta and L. Ben Dooley-AIA-Architect from Atlanta were architects for the restoration, which was implemented by Driver Construction Company.</p><br>
<h2>Historic status</h2><br>
<p>The Historic American Buildings Survey documented the building, listed as GA-1122. On December 11, 1974, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places; on March 6, 1990, it was designated as a local Historic Landmark.</p><br>
<p>The Masonic Temple in Kirksville, Missouri serves as the home for Kirksville Lodge No. 105 A.F. & A.M., Adair Lodge No. 366 A.F. & A.M., Kirksville Chapter No. 184 O.E.S., Caldwell Chapter No. 53 R.A.M., Kirksville Council No. 44 R.&S.M., and Ely Commandery No. 22 K.T. The structure was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on January 7, 2010.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Freemasonry in Adair County, Missouri dates back prior to the American Civil War, with the first lodge, Kirksville Lodge No. 128 A.F. & A.M., chartered in May, 1850. Following the war a large number of various Masonic lodges and affiliated organizations flourished within the county and at its height the combined membership county-wide totaled over three thousand members. There proved a need and great desire for one central meeting point large enough for all activities instead of the scattered rental facilities then in use, so in 1919 the Masonic Temple Association was formed, a building site chosen, and fundraising efforts begun. Two wealthy local Osteopathic physicians, Doctors George M. Laughlin and Harry M. Still, both Masons, provided the bulk of the financing for the project, with the issuing of bonds covering the rest.</p><br>
<h3>Construction</h3><br>
<p>The building site, at 217 East Harrison Street, was in the heart of the Kirksville business district and two blocks east of the town square. In 1927 the St. Louis firm of Bonsack & Pearce was chosen for the architectural design. The result would be a four-story building in the Egyptian Revival style. The Kirksville temple is one of only two in Missouri in that particular style the other being in St. Louis. The cornerstone was laid on April 2, 1930 by Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of Missouri, Mr. Samuel L. Fleet. Among the contents were a Bible, Masonic apron, various Masonic documents, and a book listing all the Adair Countians killed in World War I. The original plan was to build the temple using yellow brick for the entire exterior. However Mr. Leonard Poelman, local Mason and the projects contractor, had connections with a stone company in Carthage, Missouri and was able to arrange for a quantity of fine limestone at a discounted price. Thus it was decided to use the yellow brick on the lesser-seen west and north exteriors while the south and east would receive the Carthage stone. Construction was done at a rapid pace, with completion and dedication in December, 1930 at a final cost at just under $70,000.</p><br>
<h2>The finished building</h2><br>
<p>The completed temple was rectangular, approximately 55 feet by 77 feet, with main entrances located on the east and south sides flanked by pylons and ornate cavetto moldings. The first floor consists of the kitchen and a large dining room with seating for up to 250, while a single large meeting room can be found on the second floor. The third floor is dedicated to offices for the various Masonic secretaries and the lodges recreation room. The fourth floor is reserved for use by the York Rite bodies. The building interior is much the same as it was in 1930, save for the upgrades to more modern appliances.</p><br>
<h3>Notable visitor</h3><br>
<p>In the early 1940s the Kirksville Masonic Temple was visited by future USA President Harry S. Truman. At the time Truman was Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of Missouri A.F. & A.M. while also a United States Senator for Missouri.</p><br>
<p>Mount Zion Lodge Masonic Temple is a historic Masonic lodge building located at 304 E. Main St. in West Plains, Howell County, Missouri. It was designed by architect Rudolph Zerse Gill and built in 1933. The one-story building on a raised basement is an "austere" Classical Revival building with a projecting temple front with Tuscan order pilasters. It measures approximately 50 feet by 80 feet.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2011.</p><br>
<p>St. Marys Cathedral is a Catholic cathedral located in Colorado Springs, Colorado, United States. It is the seat of the Diocese of Colorado Springs. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places as St. Marys Catholic Church.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The first Mass was celebrated in Colorado Springs by the Rev. Joseph P. Machebeuf in 1873. Catholics gathered in a variety of locations until the property on which St. Mary&#39;s sits was purchased for $3,100 in 1888.</p><br>
<p>Pease and Barber designed the present church in the Gothic Revival style. The lower level of the church was completed in 1891 and the upper church was completed seven years later. The church was dedicated on December 19, 1898. The bell towers on the front of the church were added in 1902 and the spires were completed in 1907. A major redecorating project took place from 1902 to 1904 when the Gothic arched ceilings, six side-aisle windows and electric lights were added. A new pipe organ was placed in the church in 1916. The clerestory and apse windows were added during a renovation project from 1923 to 1924. The rose window on the main façade was given its current configuration in 1930.</p><br>
<p>Pope John Paul II established the Diocese of Colorado Springs on November 10, 1983. St. Marys was chosen to be the cathedral of the new diocese. Bishop Richard Hanifen was installed as the dioceses first bishop on January 30, 1984.</p><br>
<p>The 1916 Hinners pipe organ was replaced in 2002 and another major renovation of St. Marys was completed in 2003. The interior was renewed and a new entrance was built on the southwest corner of the church, a gathering space, plaza and meeting rooms were added. The St. Marys Cathedral Columbarium was opened in 2005.</p><br>

<p>The Sexton House in Goleta, California is a two-story Italianate style house that was built in 1880. It was designed by architect Peter J. Barber.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the USA National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) in 1992 as Joseph and Lucy Foster Sexton House&#39;. The listing includes, in addition to the main house, four contributing structures, two objects, and one site on a 1.5 acre property. Photos included with its NRHP nomination show a pentagonal pool, a built-in china cabinet, a faux marble fireplace.</p><br>
<p>It was designated as one of seven Historic Landmarks by the City of Goleta when it adopted its Historic Preservation and Archaeological & Tribal Cultural Resources Ordinance in 2022.</p><br>
<p>The original owner, Joseph Sexton, was a horticulturist who planted trees and shrubs on the property that, in 1991, partially screened the house from busy Hollister Avenue.</p><br>
<p>The house was damaged in the 1925 Santa Barbara earthquake; in 1926 three porches were removed.</p><br>
<p>The house was restored during 1990-91 as part of the development of a Quality Suites Inn, which is a 75-unit motor hotel.</p><br>
<p>The home still remains on the original property. The house currently shares the site with the Steward Hotel. The second floor of the home is now a one bedroom apartment that is leased out to long term corporate guests. The first floor is available for business and social functions.</p><br>
<p>The Hotel Savoy, at 409 State St. in Santa Barbara, California, was built in 1889 as Faith Mission. It was designed by architect Peter J. Barber in Stick/Eastlake and Italianate architectural styles. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
<p>It has served as a religious structure and as a hotel, and was listed for its architecture.</p><br>
<p>It was deemed notable because of its "elaborate stamped metal facade decorations", unique in southern Santa Barbara County, and as it is possibly the last 19th-century commercial building in Santa Barbara surviving with its original facade intact.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Faith Mission was a religious organization headquartered in Boston; its purpose was to provide religious instruction and housing for "erring young men." The Reverend E.J. Scudder established the Santa Barbara branch in June 1884 with his wife and Mr. and Mrs. S. Chafe. Rev. Scudder died the following year, but his wife continued the ministry. Services were held in a rented hall until the building at 409 State Street was built in 1889.</p><br>
<p>The first religious services were held in the building January 26, 1890. The following month a library on the upper story was opened to the public; contributions of select, inoffensive reading materials were accepted.</p><br>
<p>After the building was constructed Mrs. Scudder had difficulty paying the property&#39;s mortgage and received limited assistance from local benefactors. Later the property was put into a trust, with Mrs. Scudder continuing to operate the mission. She tried to alleviate the local "tramp situation" by providing food and lodging to transients in exchange for tickets that they received while performing odd jobs in the community. In 1896 Mrs. Scudder was paying city business license fees for a "lodging house."</p><br>
<p>Around 1900 the Faith Mission housed the Associated Charities Relief Association, which helped the unemployed find day work. The association investigated welfare cases while meals, lodging and sermons were provided at the mission. Mrs. Scudder reported, "Yet without salary or promise of support from any human, the faithful workers are found ministering in jail, hospital, county house, homes of the sick and sorrowing, or wherever they are called, esteeming it a joy to be as their Master, going about doing good."</p><br>
<p>Before World War the Christian and Missionary Alliance began conducting services in the building and continued until 1928. The well-known Hitchcock missionary family operated the facility for a time.</p><br>
<p>The name Hotel Savoy appeared in the 1929-30 city directory, renamed by Kenneth Ahlman, who had become owner and proprietor in 1929. During World War II the hotel was used by servicemen and had a poor reputation.</p><br>
<p>The building underwent no major alterations until 1980, when the hotel was closed; many of its rooms were then removed, a stage was constructed, and the building was converted to the Savoy Theater. The Savoy Theater hosted theatrical productions and live music performances during the Eighties.</p><br>
<p>In 1990 the theater was closed after its owner was charged with felony drug trafficking and his properties were seized. The building remained closed through the first half of the Nineties, although Dennis Miller recorded an HBO special there during that time. The building reopened in April 1995 under new ownership as the Savoy Dinner Theater but closed a few months later. The building remained closed for several more years before undergoing further renovations (including the removal of its stage) and reopening in the late Nineties as Q&#39;s Billiards.</p><br>
<p>The building was later home to the night club M8RX and currently houses Backstage, a "dueling piano bar."</p><br>

<p>The Gallatin County High School was a public high school in Bozeman, Montana. It was built Romanesque/Classical Revival style in 1902, expanded in c. 1914, and gained an Art Deco addition in 1936–37. The c.1914 and 1936-37 work was designed by architect Fred F. Willson; it was renamed Willson School following its conversion to a junior high school.</p><br>
<p>It includes Classical Revival, Art Deco, and Romanesque architecture. At 404 West Main Street, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.</p><br>
<p>A 1987 review of the building notes that it "is dominated by a large, rounded, projecting pavilion, which is actually a feature related to the Streamline Moderne style, rather than Art Deco which is the overall style of the building."</p><br>
<p>GCHS was succeeded by the new Bozeman High School in 1958, located a mile west at 205 North 11th Avenue.</p><br>

<p>The Black Hawk Hotel is an historic building located in downtown Cedar Falls, Iowa, United States. It was individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>A hotel has occupied the same site in Cedar Falls since the early 1850s. The hotels have occupied two different buildings and had several names over the years. The Winslow House was a wood frame stagecoach hotel that was built c. 1853. It was renamed the Western in 1858, and an additional floor was added to the building. In the 1860s the hotel was renamed the Carter House.</p><br>
<p>In the late 1870s, the present Second Empire building was built and named the Davis House. The ownership of the hotel transferred to the Burr family in 1885 and it was renamed Burr&#39;s Hotel.</p><br>
<p>Waterloo architect John G. Ralston was hired by a group of investors in 1914 to redesign the hotel building. The renovation made the structure a combination of the Second Empire and Mission styles. It was at this time that the hotel was named the Blackhawk.</p><br>
<p>The hotel&#39;s bar, The Stuffed Olive, closed on January 1st, 2019 but later reopened in September 2019 as its own establishment across the street.</p><br>
<p>United Church Of Madrid, formerly the First Congregational Church of Madrid, is a historic church in Madrid, St. Lawrence County, New York. The building dates from 1807.</p><br>
<p>First Congregational Church and the Madrid Methodist Church decided to merge in 1974. The combined congregation is affiliated with both the United Church of Christ and the United Methodist Church. It worships in the former Congregational Church building. The Methodist congregation in Madrid formed in 1837 from the Canton Methodist circuit. It was originally based in Buck&#39;s Bridge, but relocated to Madrid by 1847 because many of the congregants lived in Madrid.</p><br>
<p>The First Congregational Church and Parsonage were listed on the New York State Register of Historic Places and National Register of Historic Places in 2010.</p><br>
<p>The Alexander Smith House, also known as Twenty-four Trees, is a property in Brentwood, Tennessee that was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2005.</p><br>

<p>The property was included in a 1988 study of Williamson County historical resources.</p><br>
<p>Ottumwa Public Library is a public library located in downtown Ottumwa, Iowa, United States. The current building was built in 1902. It is part of the Central Park area, which is the civic center of the community. It includes the Wapello County Courthouse, Ottumwa City Hall, and St. Mary of the Visitation Catholic Church. The library was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Ottumwa Library Association was formed in 1872. Peter G. Ballingall, who was in part responsible for the Coal Palace, left a portion of his estate to the library in 1891. Local newspaper editor H. R. Moore contacted Andrew Carnegie about providing a grant for a new library building. Carnegie agreed to grant the city of Ottumwa $50,000 on January 16, 1900. It came with the usual stipulation that the city contribute the land and $5,000 per year, or 10% of the grant, for upkeep. However, Iowa law did not provide for first-class cities of less than 25,000 people to levy taxes for a library. The Iowa General Assembly passed special legislation later that year granting Ottumwa that right.</p><br>
<p>The Des Moines architectural firm of Smith and Gutterson was chosen in a contest out of 14 entries to design the building. The new building was dedicated on September 24, 1902, at a program held in the Market Street Theatre. Mary E. Downey was the librarian at the time of the dedication. Local businessman, J.T. Hackworth, used his estate to establish a trust in 1921 to support the library.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The library building is a fine example of the Neo-Classical style.</p><br>
<p>The interior of the building has retained its original layout. It features a central rotunda that is flanked by two reading rooms. The library stacks are located in the room at the rear of the building.</p><br>
<p>The interior dome is highlighted with stained glass in the center. A local painter named Johannes Scheiwe painted a mural in the dome and allegorical figures in the spandrels below. Because of water damage the dome was re-plastered and painted in the 1940s. The allegorical figures of the arts, poetry, history, and science were spared. They are clothed in both Classical and Victorian dress. The rotunda also retains the original tile floor. The hexagonal tiles feature a creamy white center area and blue and grey patterned border.</p><br>
<p>The North Geneva Historic District is a set of 161 buildings and structures in Geneva, Illinois. Of those, 150 contribute to the district&#39;s historical integrity. The district was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1979, and was slightly enlarged in 2017.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The North Geneva Historic District reflects the northern portion of the original settlement, which was home to many prominent early Geneva businessmen as well as the working class. It consists of the area known as the First Ward, roughly bounded by Stevens Street, the (modern day) Union Pacific Railroad on the west, W. State Street to the south, and the Fox River to the east. The west and east sides of the district exhibit architectural similarities. The district is representative of the socioeconomic status of the original settlers. The First Ward was platted in a gridiron pattern with blocks of 300 ft&sup2, divided into ten lots of 60 x. Lots along the Fox River differ in shape and size. Working-class homes are moderately-sized and stylistically conservative. Most are of frame construction. Oscar and August Wilson were among the more prominent local architects, who admired Frank Lloyd Wright and incorporated Prairie School elements into their otherwise vernacular buildings. 62 of the 150 notable structures are considered to have particular historical or architectural significance. Three of Geneva&#39;s first five churches are located in the district. The district was added to the National Register of Historic Places on August 1, 1979.</p><br>
<h2>Notable properties</h2><br>

<p>Rogues&#39; Harbor Inn, formerly known as the Elm Grove Inn and Central Exchange Hotel, is a historic inn and tavern located in Lansing, New York. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2009 and is located on the eastern shore of Cayuga Lake in the Finger Lakes region of Upstate New York, approximately eight miles from Ithaca.</p><br>
<p>The building is a three-story brick structure built in the Greek Revival style between 1830 and 1842 by major general Daniel Minier. It&#39;s a 40-foot-deep by 80-foot-wide rectangular on a stucco-coated fieldstone foundation with a gable roof. The building features a full-width porch with a roof supported by turned posts.</p><br>
<p>The author Grace Miller White used it as the inspiration for the setting for her novel Judy of Rogue&#39;s Harbor, which was made into a film of the same name in 1920.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Central Exchange Hotel was the first brick structure built in Lansing. Construction began in 1830 when major general Daniel Minier secured the services of Lemuel Kelsey of Dryden, and apprentice carpenter, Nelson Morgan of Lansing, to erect this three-story building. The primary purpose of the building was to become a rooming house, a store, and living quarters.</p><br>
<p>At the cost of $40,000, Minier situated the building on family land purchased from Nicholas Van Rensselaer (Military Lot No. 87 of the Central New York Military Tract). The Central Exchange Hotel received its name because it was on the road between Ithaca and Auburn, and stagecoaches would stop there to exchange horses.</p><br>
<p>Seven years after completion, Minier died, and his remains were placed at Asbury Cemetery in Lansing.</p><br>
<h2>The Inn</h2><br>
<p>The three-story building is largely colonial, having wooden pillars across the front and metal balconies built across each story on the north and west sides. The first floor contains living rooms, a grill, and a bar with a vast hall extending the length of the structure through the center. The second floor has sleeping rooms, and the third has the famous ballroom. Connecting all the floors is a spiral stairway, which is considered a unique piece of 19th century craftsmanship.</p><br>
<p>Above this is the attic, originally lighted by two oval leaded glass windows at either end. Located here were two huge zinc-lined cisterns expertly caulked and built of whitewood planks. One was for drinking water pumped by a windmill and piped throughout the building, and the other was to catch the soft water from the roof used for the kitchen.</p><br>
<p>Rufus and Flora Bates House is a historic home located in the South Hill neighborhood of Ithaca in Tompkins County, New York. It was built about 1828 and is a -story, five-bay, center entrance frame dwelling in the Greek Revival style. It is sheathed in clapboard and has a three-bay wing. It was the home of Rufus Bates, one of the early presidents of the Village of Ithaca.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2009.</p><br>
