<p>Mud River Covered Bridge is a historic covered bridge that formerly spanned the Mud River at Milton, Cabell County, West Virginia. It was built about 1875, and is a single-span, modified Howe truss structure. It measures approximately 112 ft in length and 14 ft in width.</p><br>
<p>The bridge was restored in 1971 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975. It was relocated twice, first in 1997 to a temporary site near its original location, and then again in 2001 to a new location crossing a pond at the Cabell County Fairgrounds.</p><br>
<p>Freeman Estate, also known as Park Hill Farm, is a historic home located at Freeman Estates, Huntington, Cabell County, West Virginia. The estate house was built between 1912 and 1914 and is a -story, masonry American Craftsman-style dwelling. It measures 11,000 ft&sup2; and has a red, clay-tile roof.</p><br>
<p>It features a front porch floored with red quarry tile that extends approximately 80 ft across the entire front of the home and wraps around its left side. Also, the property has a contributing stone wall and cobblestone path dated to the construction of the house.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2009.</p><br>
<p>Lake Crescent Lodge, originally called Singer&#39;s Lake Crescent Tavern, is a historic resort situated on the shores of Lake Crescent west of Port Angeles, Washington. Located on the Olympic Peninsula within Olympic National Park, the Lodge is owned by the National Park Service and operated by Aramark. The Lodge resort is open seasonally from early May until the end of January with select cabins available during the winter months. Hiking and boating are popular activities for guests, and several peaks, including Mount Storm King and Pyramid Mountain, are easily accessible from the resort. Other hiking opportunities include Marymere Falls, Spruce Railroad, and Barnes Creek Trails.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In 1914 Avery and Julia Singer built a small hotel and cottages at Barnes Point on the shore of Lake Crescent, opening Singers Tavern in 1915. At the time of its opening, the Tavern consisted of seven Lodge rooms, five of which are still in use today, and a series of cottages, spending nearly $50,000 on the construction and furnishing of the hotel. The two-story main building was built of locally milled timber, its bungalow-like design influenced by Arts and Crafts design principles, and complemented by Roycroft-inspired furnishings. The main living room featured a large stone fireplace, giving on to a porch overlooking the lake. Guest rooms were located upstairs. Lodge guests were offered modern conveniences, a restaurant, and many recreational and evening activities. Additional accommodations were available in the cottages and tent cabins. Julia Singer planted an ornamental garden, which has matured and which contributes to the hotels ambiance, together with a small golf course, a vegetable garden and fruit trees.</p><br>
<p>For the first six years of operation, guests of Singer&#39;s Tavern arrived by ferry, which continued to be popular throughout the 1920s. However, when the Olympic Highway was completed in 1922, automobiles quickly became the most popular form of transportation to the Lodge. A railroad was also constructed on the opposite side of the lake but was never used for passengers. Completed in 1919, the line was engineered to ship logs for airplane manufacturing during World War I but opened only weeks before the war ended. Since then, the Spruce Railroad Trail has become a popular hiking location, accessible by East Beach Road, and remnants of the original railroad can still be seen.</p><br>
<p>The Singers sold the property in 1927 to the Seattle Trust Company and from there it passed to Walter and Bessie Bovee. The events of the 1930s greatly impacted the Lodge and the entire region around the lake. In the latter half of that decade, members of Congress proposed the establishment of a large national park encompassing the central, mountainous region of the Olympic Peninsula, and, as a result, the Lodge received its most notable guest, Franklin D. Roosevelt, who visited the peninsula in the fall of 1937. Roosevelt arrived at the lodge the evening of September 30, where he spent the night in one of the now-demolished cabins, continuing on to the Lake Quinault Lodge the next day.</p><br>
<p>Walter and Bessie Bovee took ownership and brought the Lodge back to life in the 1940s. They expanded the Lodge and offered many recreational activities, including renting out boats and canoes. A shoreline area called Bovees Meadow, accessible by a short trail from the Lodge, is a popular recreational area. The lodge remained an inholding through the 1940s, when several new lodges and addition to the main lodge were built. In 1951 the National Park Service bought the lodge and its property for $95,000. The Mission 66 initiative proposed the lodges demolition and replacement with modern facilities. A number of accessory buildings were removed, but the main lodge was spared, though motel-style units were constructed nearby. Several cabins were replaced with newer units of similar character.</p><br>
<p>Lake Crescent Lodge is operated by Aramark and opened seasonally from early May through January with select cabins open through winter.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>Lake Crescent Lodge is located at Barnes Point on the south shore of the lake adjacent to Barnes Creek, named after the first homestead built there in the 1890s. This shore is also home to the Olympic Park Institute. Both are situated at the foot of Mount Storm King and encircled with the Olympic Mountain Chain. The Lodge is situated amidst an old-growth forest with rainforest ferns, cedars and fir trees. The irregularly shaped lodge is about 57 ft by 36 ft with an enclosed porch on the north side and an open porch on the east side. The main lodge is 2-1/2 stories, with a one-story dining room. The wood-frame lodge is covered with wood shingle siding and a wood-shingled roof. The porch windows feature a complex and finely subdivided mullion pattern in three stages, with smaller panes in each higher stage.</p><br>
<p>The historic district comprises 11 buildings on the lakeshore. The lodge, pier foundations and three cabins are original structures, while seven cabins were rebuilt to complement the earlier buildings.</p><br>
<p>The district was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2007.</p><br>
<p>The Beggarstown School, built c. 1740, is a historic school in Beggarstown, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, now part of the Mount Airy neighborhood. It is a rare example of a school building from the colonial era.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture and history</h2><br>
<p>The small building has one-and-a-half stories and measures 28 ft across the front, and 18 ft along the sides. A brick el in the rear was added after a 1915 restoration. The four-bay front is constructed of Wissahickon schist ashlar, and the sides of stuccoed rubble. The school was altered in 1840. A few of the original floorboards remain in the otherwise greatly altered interior.</p><br>
<p>The school is owned by the adjacent St. Michael&#39;s Evangelical Lutheran Church. While most students were part of the Lutheran congregation, some attended simply because it was the closest local school. Its teachers taught basic reading, writing, and arithmetic, unlike the more sophisticated Germantown Academy or Union School which was located about one-and-a-half miles south.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1971. It is also a contributing building in the Colonial Germantown Historic District, a National Historic Landmark Historic District.</p><br>
<p>It is currently home to Alena&#39;s Café.</p><br>
<p>The Sundberg Block was a commercial building located at 517–523 Iron Street in Negaunee, Michigan, United States. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2011. It was later demolished in November 2016 and removed from the NRHP in 2020.</p><br>
<h2>Charles Sundberg</h2><br>
<p>Charles Sundberg was born on September 1, 1845, in Stockholm, Sweden, the son of Gustave and Elizabeth Sundberg. He emigrated to the United States in 1864, settling first in Marquette, Michigan, and in 1869 moving to Negaunee. In 1870, Sundberg began in business as a jeweler and a wine and liquor retailer. The next year he began a short-lived partnership with a fellow Swede, August A. Anderson, opening a branch store in nearby Ishpeming. The partnership was dissolved in 1873, with Anderson taking over the Ishpeming store and Sundberg continuing as a jeweler and watchmaker in Negaunee.</p><br>
<p>However, in 1871, Sundberg married Anderson&#39;s daughter Mary. The couple had five children, three of whom died in childhood; the two remaining were Ida and Eva. Sundberg dropped his liquor business in 1878, but his jewellery business continued until his death on October 1, 1899.</p><br>
<h2>Building history</h2><br>
<p>In 1890, Sundberg purchased what was at the time the Jackson House hotel in Negaunee and tore it down. Sundberg hired John S. Mennie of Ishpeming to design a new three-story building on the site, and contractor E. E. Grip & Co., also from Ishpeming, to construct the building, which was completed in 1891. The building had three commercial spaces on the ground floor and office and apartment space above; the first three commercial tenants were Sundbergs own jewellery store, the A. T. Carmichael & Co. general store, and Katz Bros. dry goods. Tenants came and went over the years, with the building housing a series of dry goods stores, mens clothiers and other businesses including the local post office.</p><br>
<p>Sundberg died in 1899, but his jewellery store continued in operation until 1908 when manager John F. Allison bought the remaining stock. The Sundberg heirs, however, still owned the building. Allison also owned a series of other stores located in the building, including a dry goods store and a pool hall. In 1907, Allison opened Negaunee&#39;s first movie theatre, the Electric, in the Sundberg block. The theatre closed soon after because of stiff competition, but a second theatre, the Bijou (later the Royal) opened later in 1907 and operated in the building until 1920.</p><br>
<p>The Sundberg heirs continued to own the building until 1921, when the Negaunee Chamber of Commerce purchased it with the intention of refitting it as a manufacturing center to attract employers to the area. However, the building remained vacant until 1926, when Eisendrath Glove Company, a glove and mitten manufacturer, moved in. The company used the space until the mid-1930s, after which a series of garment and dress manufacturers used the building into the 1940s.</p><br>
<p>Beginning 1936, parts of the Sundberg Block were used as a "Community Building", hosting various community groups and providing facilities for the local National Youth Administration. From the late 1950s until the early 1970s it held the Negaunee Youth Center, but by 1974 was again vacant. The building was demolished in November 2016.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Sundberg Block was a two-story Late Victorian commercial building constructed of dark red brick with sandstone trim, with a slightly sloped flat roof. The building was rectangular in plan, measuring 72 x.</p><br>
<p>Shallow piers divided the front facade into three bays, each defining a storefront. The central bay had a false front rising substantially above the flanking bays and is slightly wider, containing a separate door accessing the second-floor stairs. This center bay had a pair of square windows, above which was an inset stone carved with "1890 Sundberg Block". A series of five arch-top false windows ran along the upper section of the facade. The flanking bays had semi-round windows on the second floor, each divided in three vertically. Each bay was surmounted by an ornate cast iron cornice.</p><br>
<p>The side walls were plain, with primarily two-over-two double-hung windows. Some of the original cast iron shutters were still in place. The rear was divided into three bays, corresponding to the divisions in the front. Each bay contained a center double-door entrance, with a single double-hung window to the side. The second story contained double-hung windows and several opening onto a wood-floor gallery, then considerably deteriorated before demolition.</p><br>
<p>Belle Mina, known as Belmina during the 19th century, is a historic forced-labor farm and plantation house in Belle Mina, Alabama, United States. Completed in 1826, the Late Georgian-style house was built for Alabama&#39;s second governor, Thomas Bibb.</p><br>
<p>Originally located at the center of a 2,500 acre agricultural forced-labor complex, the red brick main house is one of the earliest Alabama examples of a stereotypical columned plantation house. The house and surrounding 9 acre were added to the National Register of Historic Places on October 31, 1972.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>As the area was still being converted from a frontier, there was no sawed lumber or ready-made brick available when Bibb set out to build the house. So he used the profits from crops grown by enslaved people to raise a sawmill and build a brick kiln. Bibb enslaved skilled artisans to produce the construction materials and build the house. It took him several years to find and enslave a highly skilled mason and an expert carpenter.</p><br>
<p>Bibb died in 1839, but the plantation remained in his family until 1941. At that time it was purchased by Dr. and Mrs. Berthold Kennedy, who renovated the mansion shortly afterwards. Another renovation was completed in 1967. At that time a kitchen wing and garage were built and some minor interior modifications were done.</p><br>
<p>Another plantation home, Woodside, was built on the estate one half-mile from the main house. This wedding gift for Bibb&#39;s daughter, built in 1860–61, was completely destroyed in a fire on November 18, 2022.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The two-story brick structure features exterior walls that are 3 ft thick, laid in Flemish bond. The front (east) elevation of the house is dominated by a monumental Tuscan hexastyle portico that spans the entire five-bay, 60 ft wide front facade. The floor of the stylobate and the columns are brick. The portico shelters the main front entrance with its delicate fanlight and sidelights in the central bay. A three-part window is centered above the front entrance. The remaining bays are defined by rectangular twelve-over-twelve sash windows on both levels. A hip roof, originally crowned by a balustrade, covers both the portico and main structure. An original one-story, semi-detached brick service wing with three rooms is located towards the rear of the house, on the south side.</p><br>
<p>The house and grounds were originally surrounded by a 5 ft high brick wall. It was demolished during the Civil War. The rooftop deck and balustrade were destroyed in a tornado on July 16, 1875.</p><br>
<p>The interior of the house features Federal-style woodwork, Adam-style fireplace mantels, and a spiral primary stairway. The floor plan is based on the center-hall prototype, with two large primary rooms to either side of a 15 x hallway. The first floor also features a side hall and a secondary stairway.</p><br>
<p>The Neill Log House  is a historic log cabin in Schenley Park in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States. It was built during the second half of the 18th century and has been most commonly attributed to Robert Neill , with an estimated construction date possibly anywhere from 1765 to 1795. This estimate is based on architectural evidence as well as the large increase in value of the land during Neills period of ownership which would indicate he made substantial improvements. In 2024, a dendrochronology study determined that the beam over the fireplace, believed to be original to the houses construction, was dated to be from 1795, which was the date that Robert Neal sold the cabin to John Reed. It is known by records that Robert Neal purchased the land in 1779 and sold the cabin and land in 1795. Extrapolation of the known dates of Robert Neals purchase and date the property was sold and the large increase in value during Robert Neals ownership indicating he made substantial improvements likely mean it may have been built by him between 1779-1794.</p><br>
<p>The Neill (Neal) Log House is the oldest existing residential structure (house) in Pittsburgh. Other existing buildings such as the Old Stone Tavern built in 1756 (not confirmed) and the Fort Pitt Block House built in 1764 are not residential structures. In 1977, it was named a City of Pittsburgh Designated Historic Structure. It is part of Schenley Park USA Historic District.</p><br>
<h2>Naming</h2><br>
<p>Prior to 1969, the structure was generally known as the Neal house. The name of Robert Neal and his family was spelled various ways in official documents, including Neal, Neil, but in only one document Neill. In 1969, Pittsburgh History and Landmarks Foundation president Charles Covert Arensberg wrote an article in Western Pennsylvania History titled "The spelling of Robert Neill who built the Neill Log House in Schenley Park" in which he contended that "Neill" should be considered the proper spelling, based on the spelling of his daughter&#39;s last name on only one document. This article was used to change the name of the building to Neill. Recently sources and documents have shown the last name to be Neal, Neel, Niel, or Neil, with the former being the most common. This has prompted a discussion with the members of the Squirrel Hill Historical Society and Friends of the Neill Log House to consider applying to the city revert the name back to the original name.</p><br>
<p>Edit Summary</p><br>
<p>Strong justification for removing wording of final sentence, “This has prompted a discussion with the members of the Squirrel Hill Historical Society and Friends of the Neill Log House ….” is because there is no reference to this assertion, nor do I believe there ever was any private or public discussion by anyone from either organization to request a name change, as stated. Assertion is possibly a misperception of what we mean by stating in our History of The Neill Log House, that we acknowledge the basis for some descendants of Robert Neill adhering to the ancestral spelling of the name ‘Neal.’ Our position to “continue using ‘Neill Log House’ as decided by PHLF in 1969,” as stated in final sentence of proposed edit, is recorded in the public minutes of our organization, as cited.</p><br>
<p>Other justification for editing the entire “Naming” paragraph is twofold:</p><br>
<p>Existing post asserts that Arensberg “contended that ‘Neill‘ should be considered the proper spelling, based on the spelling of his daughter&#39;s last name on only one document." Our researchers include two additional sources from among others cited in the Arensberg article.</p><br>
<p>And the second paragraph of our proposed edit is submitted to justify that there was, in fact, much inconsistency in the naming of the log house from the late 19th century through the beginning of the 20th century, as cited, to address the opening statement in the existing post, that “Prior to 1969, the structure was generally known as the Neal house.”</p><br>
<p>“Naming” Edit post submitted by Tony Indovina, board member and contributor Squirrel Hill Historical Society, and President Friends of Neill Log House, incorporated October, 2020; assistance from researchers SHHS (squirrelhillhistory.org / History of The Neill Log House)</p><br>
<p>Proposed Edit, “Naming” paragraph, Neill Log House</p><br>
<p>During the reconstruction of the log house in 1969, Pittsburgh History & Landmark Foundation (PHLF) initially put a sign by the house identifying it as “The Neal Log House.” Shortly afterward, PHLF changed the spelling to Neill, based on research published by Charles Covert Arensberg, then-president of PHLF, in a 1969 article in Western Pennsylvania History magazine, the official publication of the Historical Society of Western Pennsylvania, now the Heinz History Center. The article cites the variations of the spelling of Robert’s last name, appearing in various 18th century documents as Neal, Neill, Neel, and Neil, in many cases because those recording his name spelled it the way they chose. Arensberg settled on Neill because of several uses of that spelling, including the 1795 deed of sale of his house, his Last Will and Testament (in which he marked an X next to the spelling “Neill"), and lastly, an 1825 deed from “The Estate of Robert Neill” in which his daughter did also.</p><br>
<p>In research that appears on the Neill Log House page of the Squirrel Hill Historical Society (SHHS) website, squirrelhillhistory.org, SHHS acknowledges that although Neal is the preferred ancestral spelling by some of Robert’s descendants, most references to the house in books and newspaper articles from the beginning of Schenley Park in the late 19th century through the beginning of the 20th century were the Schneider or Snyder Log Cabin (named after the last tenants of the log house). Newspaper articles from 1914 and 1926, written more than 100 years after Robert sold the house, use the name Neal, but the articles relate stories that have factual errors in them, and sources are not given. The house was called the Neal House until PHLF settled on the Neill spelling based on Arensberg’s research. The position of Friends of Neill Log House (FONLH), the organization managing the current restoration, is to continue using “Neill Log House” as decided by PHLF in 1969.</p><br>

<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The site of the Neill (Neal) house was part of a 262 acre tract owned by Ambrose Newton. Newton was a soldier at Fort Pitt and was listed as a resident of Pittsburghs "upper town" in a 1761 census. After the Treaty of Fort Stanwix nullified the Iroquois Confederacys legal title to southwestern Pennsylvania, the land was opened to settlers. Newton purchased the Highland tract around 1769. When he died in 1773, the property was sold for 63 pounds, 9 shillings. The Martin log house, part of the same tract, has also been possibly attributed to Newton.</p><br>
<p>The land came into the possession of Robert Neal sometime around 1779. The purchase price was listed as 34 pounds, 8 shilling. Robert Neal applied for a warrant for the land in 1785. In 1787, the land warrant was "returned", meaning accepted and he was granted a land patent from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and called his tract of land "The Highlands". The property is about four miles from Fort Pitt, where the family could go for protection. The house appears on a 1790 road survey. The house was also near Nemacolin&#39;s Trail, which was one of the main routes between Pittsburgh and the east coast.</p><br>
<p>Robert Neal lived in the house with his wife Elizabeth (nee Irwin) Neal, their son John and their five daughters, Nancy; Mary, Elizabeth, Jean and Martha. There was also possibly a second son. Robert was the son of John and Margaret Neal, who emigrated from Ulster Ireland and on June 8, 1738, purchased 200 acres of land in Paxtang Township, Lancaster County Pennsylvania (now Dauphin County) near Harrisburg Pennsylvania, for “fifteen pounds and ten shillings for each hundred acres” which they called “Neal’s Garden”. Robert purchased the land in Pittsburgh in what is now Schenley Park developing a wagon trade route along the Nemacolin Indian Trail (Braddock&#39;s Road) from Pittsburgh to Philadelphia, with his father’s homestead outside of Harrisburg PA as one of the resting points. Robert and his family lived on the land until 1795, at which time they moved to what is now downtown Pittsburgh.</p><br>
<p>In 1795, Robert Neal sold the land to John Reed for a price reported as either 360 pounds, 5 shillings, or 365 pounds, 5 shillings. The large increase in the value of the property during Neills ownership has been cited as evidence that the log house was most likely constructed during this period. Reed added a second parcel known as the Bedford tract to the property and then sold it to Brentnall Robbins in 1804. In 1813, military officer and businessman James OHara bought the tract from Robbins. The land was eventually inherited by OHaras granddaughter Mary Schenley, who donated it to the city of Pittsburgh in 1889 to create Schenley Park. The section of the park near the log house became a golf course, with the building itself being repurposed as a maintenance shed.</p><br>
<h3>Connection with the Lewis and Clark Expedition</h3><br>
<p>The Neill (Neal) log house is profiled on the Lewis and Clark National Historic Trail Experience website created by the National Park Service to highlight noteworthy places along the route of the 1804–06 Lewis and Clark Expedition. The historic connection between the Neal Log House and Lewis and Clark’s Expedition is believed to have taken place in May of 1803, when Meriwether Lewis traveled to Pittsburgh to launch the keelboat he had constructed up-river from Pittsburgh. Several months later, he began his trip down the Ohio River from the Point, the confluence of the Three Rivers in Pittsburgh and early Gateway to the West. From here, Lewis traveled to the Falls of the Ohio at Clarksville, Indiana, across from Louisville, Kentucky. Soon after, he met up with William Clark. It is said that “When they shook hands in Clarksville, the Lewis and Clark Expedition began.” More crew members were added and they traveled to winter quarters outside of St. Louis, in final preparation to journey west. This was all after earlier preparation on the rivers of Pittsburgh, where their keelboat was first constructed and launched. May of 1803 was Lewis’ second trip to Pittsburgh, having traveled earlier as a young Virginian volunteer to put-down the Whiskey Rebellion. On both trips, he journeyed from Maryland to Pittsburgh on the ancient Nemacolin Indian Trail, later called Braddock’s Road. There is also evidence that Lewis later traveled with two wagons, by the Neal Log House, on his last 4 miles overland to the Point. Early travelers on the Nemacolin Trail through what is now Schenley Park would water their horses at Snyder’s Springs, source of the historic Catahecassa Fountain at the Neal Log House.</p><br>
<h3>First restoration</h3><br>
<p>In 1935, the house was surveyed by Charles Morse Stotz for the Historic American Buildings Survey (HABS). Stotz noted that the roof, gables, and floor had been replaced and that the whole building was "in an extreme state of dilapidation." In the late 1960s, the Pittsburgh History and Landmarks Foundation (PHLF) was seeking funding to restore the Neill house and open it to the public. Before the project was able to get started, one end of the house collapsed in August, 1967. PHLF was then able to secure a $50,000 grant from the Richard King Mellon Foundation to help rebuild the structure.</p><br>
<p>Beginning in summer, 1969, the house was rebuilt as authentically as possible. Stotz, Hess & MacLachlan were the architects for the project. The building was disassembled and each piece was numbered. The house was then rebuilt, replacing the rotted wood with new logs which were hand-cut and aged to match the originals. Original wood was also reused where possible. The restoration team used period-correct techniques as much as possible, including attaching the rafters with wooden pegs and chinking the walls by hand. Modern electrical and heating systems were also installed, though designed to be inconspicuous. The Department of Archaeology of Carnegie Institute under the direction of Kirk Wilson conducted an archaeological dig of the site that turned up 19,000 artifacts, now in the collection of Carnegie Museum.</p><br>
<h3>Second restoration</h3><br>
<p>The log house was reconstructed a second time in 2023–24. The house was lifted in order to replace all four sill logs, which had rotted. The restoration also included replacing the roof, repointing the masonry, replacing the chinking, and securing door and window openings to prevent animals from entering. The house currently sits preserved in Schenley Park with a fence around it (though it is open to the public periodically).The log house is also featured on the cover of A Guidebook To Historic Western Pennsylvania by Helene Smith and George Swetnam.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The Neill house is a one-story, gable-roofed building constructed from hewn oak logs on a fieldstone foundation. It contains a single ground-floor room with a loft. Architectural historian Charles Morse Stotz wrote that the house is "of typical Pennsylvania type log construction, with the corners carefully notched together and chinked with stone and clay," also noting that the "shaped and beveled projecting ends of the roof rafters are worthy of especial notice."</p><br>
<p>Most of the logs have been replaced since the house was originally built, but were cut to match the originals. Some of the original logs were reused during the 1969 reconstruction, but not necessarily in the same places. The roof, gables, joists, and floor have also been replaced. The house is held together by means of notches and pegs rather than nails and the floor is constructed from split logs, known as puncheons, with the flat surface oriented upward. The loft was originally accessed by a ladder, but stairs were added in 1969.</p><br>
<p>The house has a fieldstone chimney which is positioned inside the exterior walls and protrudes through the roof. This arrangement was somewhat unusual, as it was more typical for log cabins to have the chimney built on the outside. Another unusual feature is that the chimney has two separate flues which are connected to two side-by-side fireplaces, one large and one small. According to the Squirrel Hill Historical Society, the main fireplace was probably for cooking, while the smaller fireplace to the left could have been used during the night in order to save firewood. The fireplaces and chimney are original and have never been disassembled. The lintel beam over the fireplace, which was dated to 1795, is also original.</p><br>
<p>There is at least one small "loophole" window, about 1 ft high by 2 ft wide, on the east side of the house. The Craftsman magazine reported that this type of window was used as "constant danger of attack by Indians compelled the settler to build for defense as well as comfort." Most log houses in the area later had their windows enlarged, making the Neill house example noteworthy. Another window on the front of the house was indeed enlarged at one point.</p><br>
<h2>Historical importance</h2><br>
<p>The Neill (Neal) Log House is historically important due to the fact that it is one of only a few eighteenth-century structures remaining in Pittsburgh and the oldest existing residential structure (house) in Pittsburgh. Interestingly, of these, three others are in or near Squirrel Hill. They include the Martin log cabin on Overlook Drive in Schenley Park (1769-1774), also built by Ambrose Newton; the Woods house at 4604 Monongahela Avenue in Hazelwood (1790); and the house that was once a stagecoach stop at 423 Kaercher Street in Greenfield (1800). The house&#39;s connection with the Lewis and Clark expedition is also of historical importance. As well as the 19,000 artifacts, found on site, now in the collection of Carnegie Museum.</p><br>
<p>Liggett and Myers Tobacco Company is a historic factory building located at Huntington, Cabell County, West Virginia, USA. The original building was constructed in 1917 and is a four-story, red brick, Commercial Style warehouse building, measuring 140 by. At the rear of the building is an addition built in 1920. It is a two-story, red brick, Commercial Style warehouse building, measuring 210 by. Also on the property is the redrying plant, built in 1910. It is a long, one story brick industrial building with a gable roof. The complex was built by the Liggett & Myers Tobacco Company as a tobacco warehouse and cigarette factory.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.</p><br>
<p>Downtown Huntington Historic District is a national historic district located at Huntington, Cabell County, West Virginia. The original district encompassed 59 contributing buildings; the boundary increase added 53 more contributing buildings.

<p>The Marquette County Courthouse is a government building located at 234 West Baraga Ave in Marquette, Michigan. It designated a Michigan State Historic Site in 1976 and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978. The courthouse was the setting of the 1959 film Anatomy of a Murder, directed by Otto Preminger.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In 1857, the first Marquette County courthouse, a wooden Greek Revival structure, was built on this site. By the turn of the century, that structure had become inadequate. In 1902, voters approved the issuance of $120,000 worth of bonds to construct a new courthouse. The earlier structure was moved off the site, and the county hired Marquette architect D. Fred Charlton (Charlton, Gilbert & Demar/Charlton & Kuenzli) to design the new building. Northern Construction Company of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, was hired to construct the building. The county eventually spent $240,000 to complete the structure; it was completed in 1904.</p><br>
<p>The courthouse was the site of a famous 1913 libel case, where President Theodore Roosevelt won a judgment against Ishpeming newspaper publisher George Newett. Roosevelt was awarded six cents, "the price of a good newspaper." Another later case tried here inspired John D. Voelker&#39;s novel, Anatomy of a Murder. The 1959 movie version of the novel, directed by Otto Preminger, was filmed in the courthouse.</p><br>
<p>In 1982–84, the courthouse was renovated at a cost of $2.4 million. A new courthouse and jail were built nearby, connected by a tunnel, but the 1904 building remains in use.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture and design</h2><br>
<p>The Marquette County Courthouse is a Beaux-Arts and Neoclassical structure, with a central three-story mass flanked by two-story wings. It is built almost entirely of local sandstone over a steel frame. A colossal portico covers the entrance, lined with 23 ft granite Doric columns from Maine. A Doric entablature with copper cornice rings the roofline. A copper dome surmounts the building, and sits above the second-floor courtroom.</p><br>
<p>Inside, the courtroom is finished with mahogany and marble. Mosaic tiles, wool carpeting, and stained glass fill the building.</p><br>
<p>The Knight–Mangum House is a historic house located in Provo, Utah, United States. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The mansion was built in the old English Tudor style, completed in 1908. It was built for Mr. W. Lester Mangum and his wife Jennie Knight Mangum. Mrs. Mangum was the daughter of the famous Utah mining man, Jesse Knight. The lot was purchased for $3,500 and the home was built at a cost of about $40,000. The Mangum family was able to afford the home due to the fact that they had sold their shares in Jesse Knight&#39;s mine located in Tintic, Utah, for eight dollars a share. They had purchased the shares for only twenty cents a share, so the excess allowed them enough funds to purchase the home. The contractors for the home were the Alexandis Brothers of Provo.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>"This two and one half story house in a style which is the product of the Arts and Crafts movement has an asymmetrical composition, steep gable roof with exposed rafters, decorative stick work on the top two stories, cross gables and gable dormers, exposed purlins, decorative brackets along the roofline, and a flat roofed single story porch with exposed rafters that wrap around the southeast corner. The house rests on a raised concrete basement. Clinker brick has been used for the first story, for the posts of the porch, for the chimneys, and for the wall that surrounds the house. The upper stories are of wood frame and stucco with stick work. The windows are grouped in various arrangements, including a three party bay window on the second story gable end of the facade, and are casements with wood stripping around their edges. Changes in the fenestration of the west wall and the addition of a two-story exterior staircase on the northwest corner are alterations which detract from the original integrity of the building, but are not significant enough to destroy its original effect. (Cannon p. 2)"</p><br>
<h2>The Victorian mansions of Provo</h2><br>
<p>Built between the years 1893 and 1908 in Provo, Utah, this group of Victorian mansions are historically significant and represent not only fine architecture but some of the most successful men of the city and state at the time. These mansions include the Charles E. Loose House, the William H. Ray House, the Knight-Allen House, the John R. Twelves House, the Jesse Knight House, the Knight–Mangum House, and the Thomas N. Taylor House. All of these homes derive from the high style: Eastlake, Shingle, Craftsman, Italianate, Classical, Moorish, Colonial, and Romanesque Revivals. Made primarily of brick, these homes exhibit the finest architecture and most ornate detailing to be found in the city of Provo.</p><br>
<h2>Jesse Knight and the Tintic mining industry</h2><br>
<p>The successful commercial mining of precious metals and minerals transformed Utah&#39;s economy from basically an agrarian base to a more industrialized state. Within this development the Tintic Mining District, located approximately thirty miles southwest of Provo, was founded in 1869 and by 1899 became the leading mining center in Utah with a value of output placed at $5 million. A central figure in Tintic success was Jesse Knight and the Knight family who resided in Provo. Jesse Knight attained wealth with his Humbug mine in the mid-1890s. The large silver producer allowed Knight to develop other mines in the East Tintic area. Knightsville grew around the workings and became touted as the only saloon-free, prostitute-free, privately owned mining camp in the USA His strict adherence to doctrines of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints made the town one inhabited primarily by members of that church.</p><br>
<p>Jesse Knight was able to expand farther than the tintic mines, reaching to the power plant in Santaquin, the Tintic drain tunnel project, the Knight Dry farm, and the smelters at Silver City. The Bonneville Mining company, the Knight Woolen Mills, Ellison Ranching Company, The American-Columbian Corporation, The Springville–Mapleton Sugar Company, The Spring Canyon Coal Company, Utah Savings Bank, The Layton Sugar Company, and the Tintic Drain Tunnel Company all represent facets of the Knight Investment Company.</p><br>
<h2>W. Lester and Jennie Knight Mangum</h2><br>
<p>W. Lester Mangum was born in 1873 in Nephi, Utah. He attended Brigham Young University and was made an instructor in English there. In 1905 he married Jennie Knight, the daughter of the mining magnate Jesse Knight. Mangum was quickly included in the Knight family businesses and held different executive positions in these businesses. He also served as vice-president and manager of the American Colombian Corporation which owned huge tracts of land in South America. Mangum was active in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and served as a member of his stake&#39;s high council. Mrs. Mangum was active in civic and church affairs.</p><br>
<h2>Preservation</h2><br>
<p>After the death of Mr. Mangum in 1949, the home was sold to Paul Salisbury of Salt Lake City who divided the home up into eleven individual apartments. In 1969 Mr. Milo Baughman, one of America&#39;s leading furniture designers and present chairman of the Environmental Design Department at BYU, acquired the home. It is now used as an apartment building. The carriage house which was built next to the home has also been transformed into apartments as well.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982 as part of a multiple property submission that nominated seven and listed six Provo houses. The listed houses are this house, the Knight–Mangum House, the John R. Twelves House, the Jesse Knight House, the Knight-Allen House, the William H. Ray House, and the Thomas N. Taylor House. The seventh, the Charles E. Loose House, was determined to be NRHP-eligible but was not NRHP-listed due to owner objection.</p><br>
<p>The Knight-Mangum mansion was designated as a historic landmark of the city of Provo on April 28, 1995.</p><br>
<p>Bonnie Court is a bungalow court located at 140 S. Bonnie Ave. in Pasadena, California. The court consists of six identical homes arranged around a central path. The court was built from 1922 to 1924, during a building boom for bungalow courts. The houses within the court were designed in the Colonial Revival style, a popular design for small homes; the design can be seen in the homes&#39; entrance porticos with supporting columns and their jerkinhead roofs. The court is representative of the detached narrow, or open, form of bungalow courts.</p><br>
<p>The court was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on November 15, 1994.</p><br>
<p>Bowen Court is a bungalow court located at 539 E. Villa St. in Pasadena, Los Angeles County, California. The court includes 23 bungalows arranged in an "L" shape and is one of the largest bungalow courts in southern California. Built from 1910 to 1912, Bowen Court is the oldest bungalow court in Pasadena. The court was designed by Arthur and Alfred Heineman, who planned the court around a Craftsman style courtyard.</p><br>
<p>The court was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on June 17, 1982.</p><br>
<p>Bryan Court is a bungalow court located at 427 S. Marengo Ave. in Pasadena, California. The court includes seven Craftsman-style homes surrounding a central courtyard. The stucco houses are designed to resemble English cottages and have porches and jerkinhead roofs. D. M. Renton built the court in 1916.</p><br>
<p>The court was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.</p><br>
<p>Ninth Street West Historic District is a national historic district located at Huntington, Cabell County, West Virginia. The district encompasses 12 contributing buildings in the St. Cloud neighborhood in the western section of Huntington. It is a significant enclave of late 19th and early 20th century residences in the Late Victorian style, most notably Queen Anne. The period of development is from 1870 to 1933.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.</p><br>
<p>The Samuel H. Allen Home is a historic house located at 135 E. 200 North in Provo, Utah. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>According to its 1978 NRHP nomination, the home "is a good example of the architectural transition from the Queen Anne style to turn-of-the-century revival styles, which emphasized symmetry and classical detailing."</p><br>
<p>Except for wide, curved horizontal and vertical brackets, the porch is classically detailed. This is one of the tallest and largest historic houses in Provo, and its two-story carriage house may be the single largest building of its type. The heavy landscaping somewhat obscures the building&#39;s massiveness. The single-family dwelling has four major projections, each gabled, extending from the rusticated stone lintels, ornamental porch and bargeboards, polychrome color scheme, and combination of square and slanted bay wings. In good condition and relatively unaltered, the house is architecturally significant, as is the monitor-form carriage house, the lower level bays of which have been filled with windows.</p><br>
<h2>The Victorian Mansions of Provo</h2><br>

Made primarily of brick, these homes exhibit the finest architecture and most ornate detailing to be found in the city of Provo.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Dr. Samuel H. Allen relocated to Provo in 1892 and built his beautiful home using local workers and materials. For a few years, he also ran his medical office out of his home, but the office was moved to the Knight block after it was built. In 1903 Samuel R. Thurman bought the home from Allen. S. R. Thurman had previously been mayor in the city of Lehi prior to moving to Provo in 1882.</p><br>
<p>In 1882, he was elected the youngest member of the Utah House of Representatives, a position to which he was privileged to return for several elections in a row. Thurman was also politically involved as a member of the Utah Constitutional Convention of 1882 and as a chairman of the committee that drafted the first part of the Provo People&#39;s Party in 1882. As national parties began to replace these local parties, Thurman, like many Mormons of that era, became a Democrat, as well as a judge on the Supreme Court of Utah. It was not long before Thurman sold the home to John W. Taylor.</p><br>
<p>John Taylor settled his third wife, Nellie Eva Todd, in this home, while his second wife, Nettie, lived at 287 East 200 North. John W. Taylor, the son of the third president of the LDS Church John Taylor, operated four farms in the area for income. In 1915, Taylor was excommunicated from the church, and his financial situation forced him to sell the home.</p><br>
<p>Taylor sold this house to Dr. David Westwood, who had become vice-president of the Provo General Hospital, Provo&#39;s first hospital. Westwood used part of the home as his office. Later, his son John T. Westwood, a dentist, and his family also lived in the home and shared an office (65 East 2nd North) with him. During the 1940s, the house was left vacant when the Westwoods moved away. In 1952, Monroe and Shirley Brockbank Paxman bought the home and raised their family of seven children there. Paxmans lived in the house until they died (2015 and 2017). In early 2022, the home was purchased by Paxmans’ grandson, Colin Foy, and his wife Megan. The Samuel H. Allen House was designated a historic Provo City landmark on April 28, 1995.</p><br>
<p>The house and the carriage house are listed as two contributing buildings in the NRHP nomination.</p><br>

<p>The Joseph H. Frisby House is a historic house located at 209 North 400 West in Provo, Utah. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>This home was built in 1906 for Joseph H. Frisby during the first year of his term as Provo City Mayor. "The House is a somewhat modest Victorian Eclectic house type that was most likely influenced by house pattern books. This house type was not used in Salt Lake City, or in many other areas of the state, but was inexplicably popular in Utah County (Historic Provo p. 8)."</p><br>
<h2>Structure</h2><br>
<p>"The Joseph H. Frisby house is a two story brick house with an irregular plan. The irregular plan is determined by the roof configuration of a central pyramid intersected on three sides by projecting gables. A one story porch wraps around the northeast corner of the facade and is terminated at each end by one of the projecting opelted wings. The porch is supported on Tuscan columns that extend from the side of one gabled wing under the eaves of the pyramidal roof to the other gabled wing. Classical detailing appears in the cornice and in the porch. The boxed cornice has brackets and a frieze decorated by dentils. A pediment with Classical Revival decoration on its tympanum and dentils on its frieze is located above the steps leading to the main entrance. Of particular note in the fenestration are the second story windows which have a triangular top above which the brickwork is in the configuration of a four-center ogee and a key-hole, and an oval stained glass window on the south wall of the first floor. A rear extension, which may have been a later addition, was most likely added soon after the original structure was built, and complements the house in its massing and fenestration (National Park Service p.2)."</p><br>
<h2>Joseph H. Frisby and Charles Hopkins</h2><br>
<p>Joseph H. Frisby was born in Birmingham, England in 1850, and was an English immigrant. He came to Utah in 1864, crossing the plains by ox team, and settled in Coalville, where he remained for several years until he went to Arizona. He settled in Provo in the year 1903, and had this house built soon after in 1905. Frisby lived at this location until 1913, when he sold this house and moved down the street to 258 North 400 West, where he died two years later.</p><br>
<p>Joseph H. Frisby lived a significant life, having served as a justice of the peace, having operated a mercantile business, and having been mayor of Provo for two years. Frisby&#39;s election was tangled up in controversy. During this time, the town of Provo was divided. Needing a railroad, the east side of town insisted that it be built on the east side of Provo, while the west insisted it belonged on the west side. Hoping to sway the decision, the west side of Provo nominated Joseph Frisby for mayor in hopes that he would act in their favor. Having won the election but narrowly, Joseph decided to postpone the decision until he was out of office.</p><br>
<p>Joseph Frisby sold his house to Charles Hopkins in 1913. Hopkins, born February 21, 1864, at Dorcetshire, England, immigrated to America in 1887 and settled in the town of Elkhorn, Montana. In Elkhorn Hopkins was primarily involved in mining and the mercantile business, as well as serving as the local postmaster for fifteen years. In 1912 Hopkins relocated to Provo, where he was elected to the Provo City Commission, where he served for thirteen years. Under his administration the City and County Building was built, the Provo Memorial Park was planned and most of Provo&#39;s streets were paved. Hopkins also served as the chairman of the Utah County WPA and FERA. He died November 9, 1936, in the Frisby House.</p><br>
<h2>The House today</h2><br>
<p>The Frisby house is virtually unaltered and is beautifully preserved, making it the best representative of this type of Victorian Eclectic house in Provo.</p><br>
<p>Contentment, also known as the Colonel George Imboden House, is a historic home located at Ansted, Fayette County, West Virginia. It was built about 1830 and expanded to its present configuration after its acquisition by former Confederate Colonel George W. Imboden in 1872. The original home consisted of five rooms and a detached kitchen. Colonel Imboden added two rooms, extended the porch, and added a gable end chimney. Colonel Imboden, who was Ansteds first mayor, helped stimulate the growth of the towns businesses. The Contentment Historical Complex serves as the museum and headquarters for the Fayette County Historical Society.</p><br>

<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.</p><br>
<p>The Samuel I. Hallett House is located on West Francis Avenue in Aspen, Colorado, United States. It is a timber frame structure built in the late 19th century. In 1987 it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>It was originally a log cabin built by one of the miners who came to Aspen in its earliest years of settlement, during the Colorado Silver Boom. Samuel I. Hallett, who later expanded it, was an officer of the Smuggler Mine, one of Aspen&#39;s largest and most lucrative. When its owners renovated it in the mid-20th century, they discovered the remnants of the original log cabin. Since then it has been through multiple owners, and remains a private residence.</p><br>
<h2>Building</h2><br>
<p>The house is located at the northeast corner of West Francis and North Fourth streets in Aspen&#39;s residential West End. All the neighboring properties are houses, generally of a more modern construction. Many are surrounded by mature trees. The land is generally level, midway between the slopes of Aspen Mountain to the south and the Roaring Fork River to the north.</p><br>
<p>A stone mounting block with the name "Hallett" on it is located at the street. The building itself occupies a narrow lot ending at the alley in the middle of the block. It has a one-and-a-half-story L-shaped front-gabled main block, sided in clapboard and topped with a shingled roof. A short cross-gabled section projects from the east side, with a longer cross-gable at the northwest corner. North of the house is a rear outbuilding, in a style similar to the main house.</p><br>
<p>On the three sides of the main block is a wraparound porch. It has a shed roof supported by square wooden pillars that rise from the tiled deck. Fenestration on the first floor consists of narrow casement and one-over-oine double-hung sash windows. Fish-scale shingles side the gable apexes.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Aspen was incorporated as a city in 1879, when it was just a few tents and log cabins. By 1885 the Colorado Silver Boom was underway, and the city was growing rapidly. It is believed that a man named Thomas Anson built the original log cabin that year</p><br>
<p>Two years later the cabin was purchased by Samuel I. Hallett and his wife. He had just arrived in Aspen from the Black Hills of South Dakota, and found his mining experience there in high demand in his new home. Soon he became superintendent of the Smuggler Mine northeast of the city, and secretary of several other major mines. In 1892 the Halletts decided to remodel the old log cabin into a house more befitting someone of his stature in town. Clapboard siding, similar to that seen on most of Aspen&#39;s larger house, went up over the logs.</p><br>
<p>The city&#39;s prosperity abruptly ended the next year when Congress repealed the Sherman Silver Purchase Act in response to the Panic of 1893. The silver market contracted, mines closed and miners left for more promising opportunities elsewhere. Nonetheless, the house remained in the Hallett family until 1935.</p><br>
<p>It is not known whether any work was done during the citys "quiet years" of the early 20th century. The next known renovation after Halletts took place in the late 1940s, when new owners acquired the property. They removed the walls and found the original logs beneath. A cast bronze fireplace with bas-relief designs in the downstairs bedroom is the only other remnant of the original house.</p><br>
<p>City records show that a bed and bath were added in 1953, and the one-story frame bathroom wing in 1960. The front porch and roof were repaired seven years later. There have been no other significant changes to the house.</p><br>
<p>The John Woods House at 4604 Monongahela Street in the Hazelwood neighborhood of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, is a vernacular stone house that was built in 1792. It was added to the List of City of Pittsburgh historic designations by Pittsburgh City Council on February 22, 1977. On April 29, 1993, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>John Woods (1761–1816) was a political leader, a Federalist, and a member of a prominent founding Pittsburgh family. He was the son of Colonel George Woods of Bedford County, Pennsylvania. "The elder Woods laid out the plan for the City of Pittsburgh in 1784. John did the actual drafting, and the plan is referred to as the John Woods plan of Pittsburgh." John Woods was elected to the Pennsylvania Senate in 1797, and was elected as a Representative to the Fourteenth United States Congress, holding office from March 4, 1815, to March 3, 1817 (though, due to illness, he never attended sessions). The house stayed in the Woods family until 1885.</p><br>
<p>Composer Stephen Foster was friends with the Woods family, and his song "Nelly Bly", written circa 1849 and published in 1850, was inspired by a servant girl who worked at the Woods house. The song was composed on Rachel Keller Woods&#39; piano, on which Foster is said to have written other classics (including "Jeanie with the Light Brown Hair"), and the instrument is currently housed at the Stephen Foster Memorial in Pittsburgh.</p><br>
<p>This house is currently owned by the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA). As of December 2020, the house was opened to the public as a Scottish pub.</p><br>

<p>The Sidney R. Yates Federal Building, historically known as the Bureau of Engraving and Printing and later the Auditor&#39;s Building Complex, is a large historic federal building located on the National Mall and built between 1878 and 1880 that has housed multiple federal government offices. It is an L-shaped building of red and black brick construction in the Romanesque style and was designed by the office of James G. Hill, the Supervising Architect of the Treasury. The brick was provided by the Peerless Brick Company of Philadelphia. The builder was John Fraser, Superintendent of Construction for the Treasury, and the bricklayers were Bitting & Davidson.</p><br>
<p>The building was originally designed and constructed for the United States Department of the Treasury Bureau of Engraving and Printing (BEP). The Bureau was founded in 1862 to allow the federal government to produce its own official documents; private companies having done so prior to this. The Bureau&#39;s machinery and offices were originally located in the Treasury Building, but eventually more space was required. In 1878, land was purchased from philanthropist William Wilson Corcoran and an Act of Congress on June 28 of that year authorized commencement of construction. The building was completed in 1880. Three additions were later constructed in 1891, 1895 and 1900. The Bureau moved to a larger building at 14th & C Streets in 1914.</p><br>
<p>Following the Bureaus move, the building was used by a number of government agencies, but primarily housed auditors from the Departments of Navy, Treasury, and State, and became known as the "Auditors Complex". Engravers from the BEP also later used space on the west of the building as it provided excellent natural light for their work. By the 1960s, the building had become underutilized and in need of major renovation. It was slated for demolition in 1966, but was postponed due to lack of funding.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in April 1978 for its architectural and historical significance. The listing included three contributing buildings, named Annex #1-3, on 2 acre.</p><br>
<p>Following a repair and modernization campaign in 1985–1987, the USDA Forest Service moved into the building in 1990 and continues to occupy the building. In 1988, the 1891 addition known as the South Annex was demolished so that the adjacent United States Holocaust Memorial Museum could expand into the space. In 1999, it was redesignated the Sidney R. Yates Federal Building, honoring Illinois Congressman Sidney Richard Yates who helped establish the Holocaust Memorial Museum and served on its council.</p><br>
<p>In 2017, a working clock was added to the tower. It had been a part of the original design, but was not installed due to excessive costs.</p><br>

<h3>Railroads in Northwest Arkansas</h3><br>
<p>The North Arkansas and Western Railroad was chartered on November 29, 1899, to connect Fayetteville with nearby Indian Territory. Track was completed to Tahlequah, Oklahoma, under the name Ozark and Cherokee Central Railway, which was based in Fayetteville. This track also connected Fayetteville to Westville, Oklahoma, which gave access to the Kansas City Southern Railway. Now with access to the Kansas City Southern in Westville and the Frisco in Fayetteville, bushels of apples and other fruits grown in the Illinois River Valley south of Fayetteville were able to be shipped elsewhere. The first train arrived in Fayetteville on August 22, 1901.</p><br>
<p>The tracks were extended west to Fort Gibson and Muskogee, Oklahoma, by 1903 after bridging the Arkansas River. The Ozark and Cherokee Central was leased and later bought by the Frisco. The Frisco also maintained a junction where the St. Paul, Arkansas, rail connected to the main line. This junction was named Fayette Junction and is now within the Fayetteville city limits.</p><br>
<h2>Location</h2><br>
<p>The depot built in 1925 was preceded by two other depots on the same plot. As its predecessors did, the Frisco Depot has served as a place for locals, travelers, and University of Arkansas students to mingle. It is centrally located within Fayetteville on Dickson Street (one of the best-known entertainment districts in Arkansas).</p><br>
<p>Olson House is a 14-room Colonial farmhouse in Cushing, Maine. The house was made famous by its depiction in Andrew Wyeths Christinas World. The house and its occupants, Christina and Alvaro Olson, were depicted in numerous paintings and sketches by Wyeth from 1939 to 1968. The house was designated as a National Historic Landmark in June 2011. The Farnsworth Art Museum owns the house; it is open to the public.</p><br>
<h2>Early history</h2><br>
<p>The Hathorn-Olson House was built in the late 1700s by Captain Samuel Hathorn II (b abt. 1750). The house was substantially altered in 1871 by Captain Samuel Hathorn IV (1822–1892). The 1871 alterations included the addition of several bedrooms on the third floor and the construction of a steeply pitched roof. The property was inherited in 1929 by Christina Olson and Alvaro Olson from their mother Katie Hathorn (b. Feb. 15 1858 - d. Nov. 1929), a descendant of Captain Hathorn.</p><br>
<h2>Association with Wyeth</h2><br>
<p>Between 1939 and 1968, the house was depicted in paintings and sketches by the American artist Andrew Wyeth, including his 1948 masterpiece, Christinas World. Wyeth was inspired to paint Christinas World by the story of Christina Olson, who had lost the use of her legs to, at the time unknown, Charcot—Marie—Tooth disease.</p><br>
<p>Wyeth befriended the Olsons and maintained a studio in the house. Wyeth later recalled, "I just couldnt stay away from there. I did other pictures while I knew them but Id always seem to gravitate back to the house." Christina and Alvaro Olson lived at the house until they died in 1968 and 1967, respectively. The Olsons, as well as Andrew Wyeth, are buried in the Olson family cemetery on the property.</p><br>
<h2>Later years</h2><br>
<p>After Christinas death, the house was purchased in 1968 by movie director Joseph E. Levine, who was an admirer of Wyeths work. Levine operated the house as a museum for two years starting in 1971 but the operation met with opposition from local residents. In 1974, Levine announced that he would give the property to the State of Maine, but Levine withdrew the offer in 1975 over concerns that the state lacked funding to maintain the property. The house was purchased by Apple Inc. CEO John Sculley, who put the house up for sale in 1989. Sculley eventually donated the house to the Farnsworth Art Museum in 1991.</p><br>
<p>The Olson House remains under the ownership of the Farnsworth Art Museum, which maintains it as a facility that is open for public visitation. Farnsworth executive director Christopher Brownawell noted, "This nondescript saltwater farmhouse and its connecting structure has become one of the most recognized images in American art."</p><br>
