<p>David S. Creigh House, also known as the "Montescena" and Boone Farm, is a historic home located near Lewisburg, Greenbrier County, West Virginia. Although the house has "outstanding architectural features", it is most known for being the site of the 1863 death of a Union soldier which led to the execution of David S. Creigh, the owner, in 1864.</p><br>

<p>The Davis Waite House is located on West Francis Street in Aspen, Colorado, United States. It is a wooden structure in Victorian architectural styles built during the 1880s. In 1987 it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places along with several other historic properties in the city.</p><br>
<p>Davis H. Waite, an early owner, was one of the founding publishers of The Aspen Daily Times. He was later elected governor of Colorado. After a single term he returned to Aspen. Later owners included Herbert Bayer, an Austrian architect extensively involved in the mid-20th-century renovation of Aspen, and Robert Orville Anderson, an oil executive who was chairman of the Aspen Institute board.</p><br>
<p>The property includes two small outbuildings, one of which is a more modern one that has been connected to the main house since its construction. The unconnected one is believed to be one of Aspen&#39;s few remaining original log cabins, now covered in clapboard, and is thus considered a contributing resource to the National Register listing. All buildings have remained largely intact.</p><br>
<h2>Buildings and grounds</h2><br>
<p>The house is located at the northeast corner of West Francis and North Second streets in Aspen&#39;s residential West End. The surrounding neighborhood is well-developed with other houses, most of more modern construction. At the other end of the block, on the south side of the street, is the Bowles–Cooley House, also listed on the Register. The terrain is generally level, part of a very gentle drop from the slopes of Aspen Mountain to the south towards the Roaring Fork River to the north.</p><br>
<p>There are three buildings on the lot. The main house is a two-story timber frame house on a stone foundation sided in clapboard with fish-scale shingle in the apex of the front cross-gable on the main hipped roof. The similarly cross-gabled west side projects slightly from just north of the main entrance, sheltered by a flat roof. There is a white picket fence at the street.</p><br>
<p>Trim on the exterior consists of cream-painted wood. It serves as cornerboard, window surround, and cornice dividing the clapboard and shingle sidings. The porch&#39;s flat roof is supported by turned columns, with some wood tracery brackets at their tops. Paneled vergeboard in blue and cream is at the gable roofline.</p><br>
<p>Fenestration on the south (front) facade consists of one large one-over-one double-hung sash window in a slightly projecting bay with a pair of smaller one-over-one windows at the second story. In the gable field is an even smaller attic window, set off by cream courses at the sill and lintel. A smaller one-over-one is above the main entrance. On the west side are a similar treatment as the front on the south, with a single small window on the ground floor to the north between two smaller non-projecting one-over-ones.</p><br>
<p>On the east is a small one-story gabled structure. Its clapboard siding covers a log cabin, believed to be one of the originals built by miners during Aspen&#39;s initial settlement. Because of this it is considered a contributing resource to the NRHP listing. A two-story gabled timber-frame house to the north, on the alley, now connected to the main house, is of mid-20th century construction and non-contributing.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The house was built in 1888 by a man named Francis Orange. Aspen at the time was a booming silver mining town, growing rapidly. An early miner&#39;s cabin on the property was converted into the outbuilding.</p><br>
<p>One newcomer to the city was Davis Hanson Waite, a native of Jamestown, New York, who had, on his way across the country, served in the Wisconsin and Kansas state legislatures. He bought the house and settled in, starting the Aspen Weekly Times, a newspaper still published today. He remained involved in politics, and in 1892 was elected Governor of Colorado.</p><br>
<p>His two-year term began during the Panic of 1893 and the ensuing repeal of the Sherman Silver Purchase Act which ended Aspens early prosperity. Its economic aftermath was felt statewide as well, with the Cripple Creek miners strike the following year empowering the Western Federation of Miners, political rivals to Waite and his Populist Party. He signed the bill which made Colorado the second state to grant women the right to vote, but he was nevertheless defeated for re-election.</p><br>
<p>He returned to the house and spent his remaining years there, dying while he helped his wife prepare Thanksgiving dinner in 1900. The house survived the early 20th-century period of the citys history known as the "quiet years", during which the citys population steadily declined and many buildings from the boom year were vacant for long periods, sometimes succumbing to fire and the effects of neglect and the severe winters at nearly 8,000 ft above sea level in the Rocky Mountains. Mrs. Waite lived there until her death in 1937.</p><br>
<p>In the middle of the century the city&#39;s fortunes began to change for the better. The Aspen Mountain ski resort was opened, bringing development and people back. Walter Paepcke, the Chicago industrialist who with his wife Elizabeth had financed the development of the ski resort and the Aspen Music Festival and School, sought to restore many of the old buildings that remained in order to make the city more attractive to visitors. They hired Bauhaus architect Herbert Bayer, who lived in the house while he was in Aspen, designing its current picket fence. Later, it was the home of Atlantic Richfield executive Robert Orville Anderson, who chaired the board of the Aspen Institute.</p><br>
<p>The John A. North House is a historic house museum and archives located in Lewisburg, Greenbrier County, West Virginia. Currently, the North House is Greenbrier County&#39;s only historic house museum. Since 1976, The Greenbrier Historical Society has operated within the North House, and in 1992 the North House was officially purchased by the Greenbrier Historical Society. In 1992, the home officially became known as "North House Museum, Greenbrier Historical Society."</p><br>
<h2>Early history</h2><br>
<p>The North House was the original home of prominent local lawyer John A. North and his new wife Charlotte. Built in 1820, the North House was initially a two-story "L-shaped plan," Federal Style dwelling. The layout consisted of a foyer, an informal parlor (which would have been used only by the family), a formal parlor for entertaining guests, and a dining room. The upstairs would have mirrored the downstairs floor plans and would have been used by the family as sleeping quarters. The interior of the home was quite lavish for the 1820s, but the exterior was also exquisite. The North House features a double portico with heavy columns supporting a high pediment, and the English red clay bricks which were used in the exterior construction of the home were originally dug from the front lawn and fired in a kiln on the property. Once completed, the North House became one of Lewisburg&#39;s first two-story brick homes.</p><br>
<p>The North Family moved into the house in 1821 and lived there until 1836. The North family consisted of John A. North, his wife Charlotte, and their five daughters, Mary, Margaret, Isabella, Martha Jane, and Charlotte. The North&#39;s were a wealthy family with prominent status and owned at least three enslaved people at the North House. By 1850, John North held twelve people in slavery.</p><br>
<p>During his time in Lewisburg, John A. North was appointed Clerk of the Greenbrier District Court of Chancery, and Clerk of the District of Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals.</p><br>
<h2>Expansion</h2><br>
<p>After the North Family had moved out of the home, the property was quickly purchased by a local man named James Frazer. By 1834, Frazer was already known in Lewisburg for building a two-story brick building which he leased to the Supreme Court of Appeals of Virginia. This building was conveniently located adjacent to the North House. After he had purchased the North House in 1836, Frazer and his family opened the Star Hotel. Frazer changed the original layout of the house and added two wings to the property. The new additions to the home allowed Frazer to establish a popular local restaurant and an affordable Inn with guest rooms for travelers, lawyers, and jurists to use while attending Court in the adjacent Court House. The Inn and Tavern also served as a popular "rest stop" for travelers along the James River and Kanawha Turnpike. James Frazer owned twenty-five enslaved people at his death in 1854. The enslaved people lived in cabins on the property and maintained and operated the inn and grounds.</p><br>
<p>After James Frazer&#39;s death in 1854, his son, James inherited the inn. When James Jr., died in 1860, his family continued to live there until they sold it in 1871 to Colonel Joe McPherson and once again became a private residence. Col. McPherson purchased the house for his daughter and son-in-law, Rebecca McPherson and John Harris, and the house underwent a "Victorian Era" make-over. One of the tavern wings which had been added by Frazer had been removed, and metal window hoods, gutters, segmented columns, and architectural embellishments were added to the façade of the home.</p><br>
<p>In 1905, the North House was sold to Dr. Robert L. Telford and his family. From 1890 to 1894, Dr. Telford pastored the Old Stone Church (Lewisburg, West Virginia), and then later became the President of the Lewisburg Female Institute, later renamed the Greenbrier College for Women. Telford later sold the house to Greenbrier College and it became the house for the Presidents of Greenbrier College.</p><br>
<p>Throughout the early decades of the 1900s, the North House underwent several changes in order to make it a modernized home. In 1925, the house underwent a major renovation. A two-story addition containing a sun-parlor and a porte-cochère were constructed; and closets, a new front door, the installation of central heating, and running water were also added to the home.</p><br>
<p>The North House has also housed the Lewisburg Seminary and Conservatory of Music. However, since 1976 the Greenbrier Historical Society has operated the North House Museum out of the home, and the Historical Society has officially owned the building since 1992.</p><br>
<p>Additionally, the North House was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.</p><br>
<h2>Museum</h2><br>
<p>The Greenbrier Historical Society and North House Museum is dedicated to collecting, preserving, and interpreting the rich history of the Greenbrier Valley.

<p>__TOC__</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Built around 1818, the James Withrow House is one of the oldest brick houses in Lewisburg, West Virginia. Built for James Withrow I on land surveyed by Thomas Edgar in 1782, the house overlooks the historical site of Fort Savannah and Withrow I&#39;s tannery. James Withrow I moved to Lewisburg sometime before 1812 and married Letitia Edgar Withrow, the daughter of Thomas Edgar, the original surveyor of the town, with whom he had nine children. the house was willed to John Withrow, but instead passed to James Withrow II,</p><br>
<p>In August 1867, James Withrow II, a Colonel in the Virginia Militia, invited Robert E. Lee, visiting nearby White Sulfur Springs resort (now known as The Greenbrier), to a dinner at the house. Lee requested no public expressions of admiration, though many townspeople wished to speak with Lee. Lee spoke to them while visiting the house.</p><br>
<p>Following James Withrow IIs death in 1901, his wife, Mary Withrow, sold the property to Nancy A. Surbaugh in 1905. Nancy Surbaughs half-brother, Edward Sydenstricker, moved his family into the house during the Great Depression. Nancy Surbaugh oversaw the first renovation (see Renovations) of the house, which added an inside kitchen and Victorian era conveniences, among other additions. Nancy Surbaugh passed away, succeeded by the death of her half-brother Mr. Sydenstricker, sometime before 1939.</p><br>
<p>After their deaths, the house was unoccupied for two years until being listed at auction in 1941. It was during this time that the house became known as the John Montgomery house, and as "Montwell", a joining of the names Montgomery and Rothwell.</p><br>
<p>In 2002, the house was purchased by one of John Montgomery&#39;s daughters, Mary Montgomery Lindquist, and her husband Paul Lindquist in 2002.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The James Withrow House is a two-story brick house with a two-story brick wing. It features a large double portico supported by massive plastered brick columns, reminiscent of classic revival innovations, reaching a high pediment. On the property is a two-story building housing the historical kitchen and servants quarters as well as a plastered brick building, built, sometime after 1843, as an office by James Withrow II. The office moved to its current location in 1915, after previously residing adjacent to the nearby road.</p><br>
<p>The house was designed and built by John Weir and constructed using bricks fired on-site. The brick pattern of the main house is Flemish Bond, whereas the historical kitchen follows a random American Bond (the pattern repeating an inconsistent amount, between five, nine or no courses). Following the first set of renovations, the brickwork of the connecting space used bricks sourced from off-site and a Running Bond instead of the Flemish bond used on the main house.</p><br>
<p>Though source materials state the architectural style as Colonial, the house exhibits characteristics of a Federal style such as a central doorway, Palladian windows, louvered shutters, and a fanlight window above the front door.</p><br>
<h2>Renovations</h2><br>
<p>The first renovation, sometime between 1905 and 1915, was overseen by Nancy Surbaugh and added multiple rooms. An inside kitchen was added, as well as a bedroom above on the second floor. A pantry was built adjacent to the kitchen and the first bathroom inside the house was added. At this same time, the floors of the dining and living rooms were renovated, adding narrow oak flooring over the, wider, original pine floors. During this renovation, the historical kitchen was joined to the main house via a roofed connecting space. The windows were replaced with modern ones and the original wooden shingled roof was replaced with asbestos shingles. The old gas lines (used for oil lamps when the house was constructed) were replaced with electrical lines and the house&#39;s heating was centralized by means of a furnace. Nancy Surbaugh chose Victorian style radiators for the house and a large "clawfoot" bathtub to go in the new bathroom. It was during this renovation that the office was moved to the east side of the house from an unknown location.</p><br>
<p>The second renovation, carried out by John and Edith Montgomery, started in the fall of 1941 and was completed by March 22, 1942. The renovation consisted of mainly cosmetic changes, as well as renovation of the electrical, water, and heating systems. These included painting the walls and trim, sanding and staining the original pine floors, and replacing the Franklin stove, installed during the previous renovation, with a wood burning brick fireplace. As John and Edith Montgomery had a larger family than previously had resided in the house, the single bathroom was split into two, and an additional one built downstairs. The new kitchen, original kitchen, and connecting space all saw numerous improvements, with the latter receiving the majority. The connecting space was enclosed and served as a laundry room. The historical kitchen was converted to a two bedroom rental property, a purpose which survives to this day.</p><br>
<p>The third renovation was completed in 2004. The most thorough renovation in the houses history, Mary and her husband Paul consulted structural engineers on the state of the house, resulting in a complete overhaul of most elements of the building. The asbestos roofing was replaced with standing-seam copper roofing, the houses electrical systems were replaced, a new heating and air system installed with the removal of the old radiators, the windows were replaced with modern reproductions of a federal style, the porch and brick columns strengthened, and chimneys lined. Further renovations included remodeling of all the bathrooms, stripping and repainting the walls with the original stenciled friezes applied sometime during the 1905 renovation, and the remodeling of the main kitchen. Renovations continued into the historical kitchen, receiving a similar treatment as the rest of the house.</p><br>

<p>The Burlington Montgomery Ward Building is a historic former department store building located at 52-54 Church Street, between Cherry and Bank Streets, in the Church Street Marketplace of downtown Burlington, Vermont. Erected in 1929, it is a fine example of Classical Revival architecture, and is the best-preserved of the small number of original Montgomery Ward stores built by that retailer in the state. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Burlingtons former Montgomery Ward building stands on the east side of the pedestrian mall of Church Street, roughly midway between Cherry and Bank Streets. It is a two-story masonry building, three bays wide, with an exterior facade of concrete and brick. The ground floor consists of modern storefronts finished mainly in brick, while the second-story facade is faced in concrete that is finished in imitation of stone. Each bay has a Chicago-style three-part window with rounded upper corners, and is topped by a terra-cotta panel. The central bays panel displays Montgomery Wards "Spirit of Progress" emblem, designed for the company by J. Massey Rhind, and which adorns many of the companys stores built at the time. The bays are articulated by concrete pilasters topped by urns, and have low parapets with neo-Classical motifs at the top.</p><br>
<p>The building was opened on December 28, 1929, and was the 515th Montgomery Ward store in the United States, part of the company&#39;s strategy to open many small stores to compete with the smaller number of large stores that were being opened by its competitor, Sears, Roebuck & Company. The company continued to operate the store in Burlington until December 1961, when it was closed. Since then, a number of retailers have utilized the building, part of which has been partitioned off to become a bank branch.</p><br>
<p>The County Road 557–West Branch Escanaba River Bridge is a bridge located on County Road 557 as it passes over the West Branch of the Escanaba River in Wells Township in Marquette County, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In 1928, the Michigan State Highway Department determined a bridge was necessary in this location. In March, the department awarded a construction contract to the P.J. Nickel Company of Ironwood, Michigan, valued at $20,016.19. Nickel used a steel superstructure fabricated by the Massillon Bridge and Structural Company of Massillon, Ohio, to finish the bridge.</p><br>
<p>The bridge construction is significant because it was one of the first truly long single-span bridges constructed in the state. Recent (at the time) improvements in I-beam fabrication allowed the construction of steel stringer bridges of extended length. Since construction, the bridge has been essentially unaltered.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The County Road 557–West Branch Escanaba River Bridge is 75 ft in length with a roadway width of 30.1 ft and a complete structure width of 35.5 ft. The structure is a steel stringer bridge, constructed of rolled I-beams supported simply by straight-walled concrete abutments on each side of the river. The outside of the stringers are encased in concrete, giving the bridge the appearance af an all-concrete construction. The deck is concrete, resurfaced with asphalt. Guardrails with fluted balusters and paneled bulkheads run along each side of the bridge.</p><br>
<p>The Old M-95–Michigamme River Bridge is a bridge located on Old M-95 as it passes over the Michigamme River in Republic Township, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In the early part of the 20th century, before the Michigan State Highway Department standardized bridge designs, local road commissions were responsible for bridge designs in their own areas. In rural areas, the bridges built for vehicular traffic primarily had steel or timber superstructures. In Marquette County, however, the road commission built at least three rural concrete arch bridges in the 1910s: one over the Dead River in Marquette, one over the Michigamme River in Republic, and this bridge over the Michigamme. This bridge was built in 1910, and although modest in scale and design, it is technologically and historically significant as an embodiment of local bridge design before state standardization.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Old M-95–Michigamme River Bridge is 120 ft long with a main span length of 60 ft. It spans the Michigamme River on an abandoned roadway (now used as a private road) that was once M-95, immediately west of the current highway. The bridge has two filled spandrel arches, with continuous elliptical arch rings. The arches sit on concrete abutments on each shore pier located in the center of the river. The deck is cambered and made of earth, and flanked on each side with concrete guardrails.</p><br>
<p>Granot Loma is an estate located on County Road 550 north of Marquette, Michigan, built in the tradition of the Great Camps of the Adirondacks in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991.</p><br>
<p>In 2022, Granot Loma was touted as a potential space port in Michigans Upper Peninsula in tandem with Oscoda, Michigans Wurtsmith Air Force Base.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>American businessman Louis Graveraet Kaufman began building Granot Loma in 1919, for use as a summer residence. He hired Marshall and Fox of Chicago as architects and employed three hundred local craftsmen, He imported pine logs from Oregon for the construction. Construction was complete in 1923 or 1924, with some additional interior work continuing through 1927 or 1928.</p><br>
<p>The Loma Farms complex, designed to provide income and supply food for the lodge, was constructed in 1927 by the Bartlett Construction Company of Eau Claire, Wisconsin. Bartlett used a number of designs provided by the Louden Machinery Company of Fairfield, Iowa.</p><br>
<p>Kaufman held an opening bash in 1927 to celebrate the completion of Granot Loma. Guests who stayed at Granot Loma over the years included tennis star Bill Tilden, George Gershwin, Mary Pickford, Fred Astaire, and Cole Porter.</p><br>
<p>Louis Kaufman died in 1942; his wife Marie died in 1947. With Maries passing, the farming operation ceased. One of the couples daughters, Joan, lived there with her last husband, Jack Martin, the former caretaker of Granot Loma for a few years, but by 1950 the lodge was essentially abandoned. They occupied the farm and the lodge was used for special occasions. Granot Loma was finally sold by the Kaufman family to Tom Baldwin in 1987. Baldwin renovated the house, and in 1991 it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The estates title, Granot Loma, is a random hodgepodge of letters from the names of Kaufmans first three children and his wife&#39;s name. Kaufman retained 22 architects to design the building. Pine logs were shipped from Oregon by train. The structure is built on a steel frame resting on a 2 yd thick concrete foundation.</p><br>
<p>As completed in 1923, the 26,000 ft2 lodge cost US$5 million (equivalent to $70 million in 2016).</p><br>
<p>The estate of Granot Loma sits on 5,180 acre of woodland located along the Lake Superior shore. The lodge is an enormous, L-shaped structure built of logs over a steel frame and with a slate roof. The lodge includes a 60 ft long greatroom and 23 or 26 bedrooms, 13 baths, and 26 stone fireplaces. The estate contains unique and irreplaceable accoutrements, such as Indian/Western scenes by Orry Kelly, an Academy Award-winning designer.</p><br>
<p>Loma Farms is a planned farming complex which includes thirteen buildings constructed of vitrified clay tile, situated about one-half mile (800 m) from the lodge complex.</p><br>
<p>Mountain Home, also known as Locust Hill and Robert Dickson House, is a historic home located near White Sulphur Springs, Greenbrier County, West Virginia. It was built about 1833, and is a large, two-story brick dwelling with a kitchen ell. It features a two-story, one-bay lunette-adorned pediment with plastered brick Doric order paired columns. It has Late Federal and Roman Revival elements on both the exterior and interior.</p><br>
<p>It was built by "Greenbrier Valley master builder" John W. Dunn and includes mantels and other woodwork done by master wood-carver Conrad Burgess. Morlunda (Greenbrier County, West Virginia) is another of their joint works.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980, with a boundary increase in 2020.</p><br>
<p>The 11th Street Bridge was completed in December 1915 to carry vehicles across the Arkansas River at Tulsa, Oklahoma. Used from 1916 to 1972, it was also a part of USA Route 66. Functionally, it has been replaced by the I-244 bridges across the Arkansas. As of 2009, the bridge was in poor structural condition and unsafe even for pedestrians. In 2008, the gates were locked to exclude all visitors.</p><br>
<p>This bridge was added on December 13, 1996, to the National Register of Historic Places under Criteria A and C. Its NRIS number is 96001488. Its listing was consistent with evaluations of historic resources on Route 66 in Oklahoma completed in 1994 and 2003 studies. It was named the "Cyrus Avery Route 66 Memorial Bridge" in 2004.</p><br>
<p>Although the bridge still stands, it is considered unsafe for use and has been closed to vehicles since 1980 and to pedestrians since 2008.</p><br>
<h2>Construction</h2><br>
<p>Engineered by Harrington, Howard and Ash of Kansas City, this bridge replaced an earlier wooden structure. It was built by the Missouri Valley Bridge and Iron Company for $180,000. A multi-span concrete arch bridge, with 18 spans, it was 1,470 feet long and 34 feet wide. It had a railroad track in the center and one vehicular lane on each side of the track.</p><br>
<p>At the time, it was notable for several reasons:</p><br>
<p>It was the first bridge built for the purpose of carrying automobiles across the Arkansas River</p><br>
<p>It was one of the longest concrete structures in the Midwestern United States</p><br>
<p>It was the first multi-span concrete bridge constructed in Oklahoma.</p><br>
<p>In 1929, the original balustrades and Victorian-style lights were replaced with Art Deco guardrails and lights. A 1934 project constructed a second arched bridge immediately downstream and connected both bridges with a single deck. This brought the deck width to 52 feet 8 inches, with a roadbed that was 40 feet wide and accommodated four lanes of traffic.</p><br>
<h2>Obsolescence</h2><br>
<p>Completion of the I-244 bridges in 1967 removed most vehicular traffic from the 11th street bridge. In 1980, it was closed to traffic, although it remained open to pedestrians. In 1996, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>Present condition</h2><br>
<p>Time has not been good to the old bridge, and it has been rated as "quite dangerous" and unsafe for pedestrians by the City of Tulsa. There are holes in the deck, the pavement has buckled in many places, and weeds grow in the cracks. The gates were locked in 2008. Although it was considered as the centerpiece of a Route 66 exhibit, engineers estimated that it would cost $15 million just to be made safe for pedestrians. The conclusion was that the historic structure is "... too expensive to repair, too historic to demolish, and too valuable to ignore".</p><br>
<p>Ironically, the I-244 bridges have already reached the end of their service lives. The westbound bridge was closed and demolition begun in May 2011. Demolition was 85 percent complete as of August 1, 2011. The demolished structure will be replaced by a double-deck, multimodal span. The top deck will carry vehicles and the lower deck will have a pedestrian way and two railroad tracks (to be added in the future). Completion is scheduled for 2013. Extreme care has been used during the demolition to avoid vibrations that might further damage the old 11th Street Bridge.</p><br>
<h2>Cyrus Avery Centennial Plaza</h2><br>
<p>The ability to utilize the existing bridge, rather than having to build another one over the Arkansas, was said to be the major reason USA Route 66 was built through Tulsa. In commemoration of the Route and the man who helped bring it about, the Cyrus Avery Centennial Plaza is located adjacent to the east entrance of the historic Bridge in Tulsa, at the intersection of Southwest Boulevard and Riverside Drive. The first phase of the plaza included a display of flags of the eight states which were served by U.S Route 66. It was completed in July 2008 and dedicated on August 7, 2008. A skyway with an observation deck leads pedestrians from the visitors&#39; parking lot across Southwest Boulevard.</p><br>
<p>The plaza features a bronze sculpture, created by artist Robert Summers titled "East Meets West". The sculpture is 14 feet long, 18 feet wide and 14 feet high. The sculpture depicts the Avery family riding west in a Model T Ford auto meeting an eastbound horse-drawn carriage. It weighs over 20,000 lb and cost about $1.178 million.</p><br>
<p>In 2020, Avery Plaza Southwest is scheduled to open, at the west end of the Bridge. Plans include replicas of three neon signs from Tulsa-area motels from the era, being the Will Rogers Motor Court. Tulsa Auto Court, and the Oil Capital Motel.</p><br>
<h2>Proposed museum</h2><br>
<p>A museum to educate visitors about the significance of Route 66 has been proposed. It would be built on a hill adjacent to the existing parking lot. No date has been established for this project.</p><br>
<p>Oakhurst Links is a historic golf course located at White Sulphur Springs, Greenbrier County, West Virginia. It was the first golf course in the United States. It is a nine-hole course built in 1884, in a design based upon traditional Scottish design elements. The first competition for the Oakhurst Links Challenge Medal was held in 1884.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>Located on the grounds is course developer Russell W. Montague&#39;s home, which served as the Oakhurst Links Clubhouse. The clubhouse was built around 1880, and is a two-story "I house" plan dwelling with sparse Colonial Revival stylistic elements. The property was operated as a golf course until 1912, when the property reverted to pasture. In 1959 the property was purchased by Lewis Keller and his wife, Rosalie. For many years, Keller raised thoroughbred race horses on the property. Keller often played with Sam Snead, who was the resident playing professional at The Greenbrier resort in White Sulphur Springs. Snead told Keller he believed the property was the site of the first golf course in the United States.</p><br>
<p>In 1994, a restoration effort was launched for the course. The course was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2001.</p><br>
<p>Except for one year at Pinehurst No. 1 course, the National Hickory Championship was played at Oakhurst Links from 1998 to 2015. Modern players typically dressed in period clothes and use hickory-shafted clubs and gutta-percha balls driven from tees fashioned from sand as was done before the wooden tee was invented.</p><br>
<p>The course was damaged by floods in 2016; as of 2023, it has still not re-opened.</p><br>

It is enclosed by a six-foot-high wrought iron fence.</p><br>
<p>The Confederate "monument was erected by the United Daughters of the Confederacy at a cost of $2,800. The monument was originally located on the campus of the Greenbrier College, but moved to its present location, when USA Route 60 was relocated."</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.</p><br>
<p>Supreme Court Library Building, now known as Greenbrier County Library and Museum, is a historic library building located at Lewisburg, Greenbrier County, West Virginia. It was built in 1834, and is a two-story building built of locally fired brick. It was constructed to serve as a law library and study for the Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals. This was leased to the State of Virginia until the court sessions ended in 1864. During the American Civil War, it served as a military hospital. Inside the building, there is graffiti left by recovering soldiers. It was then occupied as a Masonic lodge until acquired by the Greenbrier College. In 1935, the college deeded it to the town for use by the Greenbrier County Library and Museum. Currently, the building is used as a library by the New River Community and Technical College.</p><br>

<p>Christ Episcopal Church is a historic church building in Benson, Minnesota, United States. It is Bensons oldest church, built in 1879 as part of the Episcopal Churchs ambitious expansion into western Minnesota under Bishop Henry Benjamin Whipple.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985 as Christ Church-Episcopal for having local significance in the themes of architecture and religion. It was nominated for its association with Bishop Whipples missionary program, for symbolizing Bensons English and New Englander settlers, for being Benson&#39;s oldest church building, and for its early Gothic Revival architecture.</p><br>
<p>Its board and batten walls, side-entry bell tower, and lancet windows and door are all typical of Carpenter Gothic architecture. The congregation sold the building in 1966 to make way for construction of a high-rise apartment. The 87-year-old church building escaped demolition; it was moved south across the road (at which point it was rotated 180° to maintain its street-facing façade). It was repurposed as a senior center and currently houses the Swift County Drop-In Center.</p><br>
<p>The Johnson–Hansen House is a historic house located in Provo, Utah, United States, that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>Located at 485 East 400 South, the Neils Johnson home is both architecturally and historically significant. "The log cabin, brick house, and garage, built between 1870 and 1938, describe settlement patterns and periods of development in Provo. Linking the brick historic home with a "modern" garage through the log cabin symbolizes the connection between past, present, and future. These structures are architecturally significant as excellent examples of local 1870s architecture and as a unique, late 1930s blend of nostalgic and modern influences on residential design (Historic Provo p. 25)."</p><br>
<h3>The plat of the City of Zion</h3><br>
<p>Provo was first occupied in 1849 when the first fort was built. People began moving outside the fort in 1850-51, and when two canals were dug to irrigate the fields in the 1850s, agriculture was the primary industry. Utah settlement patterns were based on the plat of the City of Zion that was outlined by the Mormon prophet Joseph Smith. The plan, though not fully implemented, served as a model for Mormon settlements across the west under the direction of Brigham Young. The plats were strictly organized, being one mile square, ten acres each and forty rods square, and the lots were laid off alternately within the squares, setting up what were considered to be garden views from the houses. There was to be space for each house to have a small yard in the front, and the houses were to be built primarily of stone and brick. The towns were set out in a grid pattern with the public buildings and church located in the center of town, surrounded by residences, with the outlying areas being used as farmlands. The plat of Zion&#39;s design is described in the following:</p><br>
<p>"As soon as it was considered safe to move out of the fort, instead of making a home on his piece of land as the ordinary pioneer farmer would have done, the Provo settler, following the advice of President Young and the example of the older colony, selected a site and made his home in the platted part of the city. Each family had a quarter of a block -- perhaps more -- on which was the dwelling house... Each morning the farmer and his sons went to their work on the farm, returning to their town home in the evening."</p><br>
<p>The purpose of combining town and farm life was to provide better protection against the Indians and to provide a greater opportunity for a religious and social life.</p><br>
<h3>Niels Johnson and Ray Hansen</h3><br>
<p>Born on August 5, 1848, in the country of Denmark, Neils Johnson was both a farmer and a sexton for the city cemetery. He was married to Josephine C.M. who was born in Norway on December 17, 1846. Together they had five children, although three of them died before 1898. Johnson lived in this home between 1871 and 1923, and was listed as residing at 356 South 500 East for four years afterward. Albert L. and Beatrice Hulick resided at the Neils Johnson home between 1926 and 1929, and J. Lanning Hall in 1930–31, but throughout their tenancies Neils Johnson still owned the home. Johnson died in 1937, bestowing the property to his daughter (two-thirds to Caroline Hinckley and one-third to Christine Hinckley Robinson. Mr. Ray Hansen then purchased the home.</p><br>
<p>Born in Benjamin, Utah, Ray Hansen was born on February 22, 1902. He was married on July 2, 1927, to Blanche Mcbeth, and they lived at 356 South 500 East in Provo before purchasing the Johnson–Hansen property. Ray Hansen was employed under Pacific States CI and P Co., a pipeline manufacturer. In the year 1939 Mr. Hansen became a foreman, and in 1959 a patternmaker for the same company. He married a second time to Helen Hansen, and he died on June 3, 1989.</p><br>
<h3>The house today</h3><br>
<p>The Johnson–Hansen home is one of four c.1870s houses remaining within this older, tree-lined residential neighborhood that demonstrate the town grid settlement pattern. These older homes are situated on corner lots and appear to have been laid off alternately within quarter sections of the square blocks. The log building remains as physical evidence of the kinds of structures that were built when Provo was originally settled. Ray Hansen used the log cabin as his gunsmith shop for over 50 years. The reasons he moved the log structure to its current location and connected it to his house and a "modern" garage are not known.</p><br>
<p>The present owners, Dr. and Mrs. M. Gary Hadfield, have carefully rehabilitated the brick house and log cabin since they purchased the home in 1990. The restoration work included the chemical removal of many layers of paint on both buildings. The home is being maintained as a single family residence. The Neils Johnson Home was designated a Provo City Historic Landmark on April 28, 1995. These structures have been well-maintained and retain their historic integrity and association.</p><br>
<p>The Littleton Main Street is a historic district located along W. Main Street, from South Curtice Street, to South Sycamore Street in Littleton, Colorado. The district dates from 1890. The nineteenth century buildings are red pressed brick, many with stone foundations and trim. These buildings replaced smaller frame structures from the pioneer era and proclaimed the success of their builders through solid construction and application of exterior ornament.</p><br>
<h2>Contributing Buildings</h2><br>
<h3>West Main Street</h3><br>
<p>2299 West Main Street, Sommers Oil Service Station, 1922. The Service Station is early evidence of the impact of the automobile. Built in 1922 by the Sommers Oil Company of Denver. Built as two buildings, the filling station and the greasing facility were joined at a late date. The south building is built of narrow concrete blocks with a hipped roof. The drive-through was set on piers. The greasing facility has a flat roof with parapet and elaborate coping.</p><br>
<p>2329 West Main Street, LW. Hunt Building, 1919, Ivy W. Hunt erected his Ford car dealership. The large, rectangular building includes the original one-story auto dealership and a stepped back modern rooftop addition. The red pressed brick walls have paneled piers and decorative white brick insets forming the letter "H". The building has a flat roof with piers, which project above the roof, contrasting white concrete coping, and courses of molded brick. The large central entrance facing Main Street is surrounded with glazed white brick and has inset double doors with rectangular lights topped by a divided transom. A plaque above the entrance is inscribed "I.W. Hunt 1919." Flanking the entrance are huge plate glass display windows with smooth white concrete sills, clerestory windows, and fabric awnings. In the mid-1980s, the Urban Design Group produced a three-story stepped back brick addition with central, gabled, glazed atrium, and rehabilitated the original building. The 1919 portion of the building retains its original design, scale, materials, feeling, and association, while the sympathetic 1980s addition is subtly setback to diminish its impact on the earlier building.</p><br>
<p>2359 West Main Street, Palm Theater, 1925, Unknown, Twentieth Century Commercial. As motion pictures became popular, J.H. Peterson built the Palm Theater in 1925. The double-height one-story building has a flat roof with projecting piers and brick coping and a molded metal secondary cornice. The walls are composed of painted, wire-drawn brick on the front and pressed brick on the sides. The central inset entrance has a door with large rectangular light and transom flanked by large plate glass windows. Above the secondary cornice is a central ribbon of five multi-light windows with shared sill flanked on each end by paired windows. An alley is adjacent to the east wall of the building. The building has a one-story rear addition with garage door. The theater operated only a few years and the building was remodeled by the 1930s as a department store, with entrance and windows in the current configuration.</p><br>
<p>2379-99 West Main Street, Valore Hardware, 1925. This one-story brick building was erected by A.J. Valore in 1925 to house his hardware business and two other enterprises. The red brick building, with three storefronts facing Main Street has a flat roof with contrasting white brick coping and is divided into three bays by piers of red and white brick. The storefronts have inset entrances with glazed doors flanked by plate glass display windows with continuous metal lintels. Walls above lintels have panels outlined in white brick. The eastern storefront has a thin, projecting, metal hood above the windows. The west wall has decorative brickwork and two multi-light windows with lintels and sills of white brick. Alterations include removal of clerestory windows and addition of stone veneer under display windows. Piers and parapets originally projected above the roof.</p><br>
<p>2400 West Main Street, Thomas Building, 1954. Local civic leader and real estate developer Ulva C. Thomas built this corner commercial building in 1954. The building, which occupied part of the location of an earlier commercial structure, maintained the street wall by employing the same setback as the earlier building. The one-story rectangular buff brick building has a beveled corner with glazed door with sidelights and transom facing the intersection on the northeast. The building has a flat roof with a raised parapet at the center of the east wall. Five storefronts with slightly inset entrances and plate glass windows with concrete sills are on the east. The northern part of the building has been partially clad with Roman brick. The south and west walls are stuccoed. Other alterations include some glazed doors and newer plate glass windows and covered up entrances on the east and south.</p><br>
<p>2450 West Main Street, Littleton Town Hall, 1920, J.J.B. Benedict. When local officials requested a town hall whose front would "have a character that would dominate the design," architect J.J.B. Benedict drew inspiration from the Palazzo della Regione in Vincenza, Italy. The front of the Italian Renaissance style two-and-a-halfstory building is clad with architectural terra cotta blocks cast to resemble stone and hand molded ornamentation. The first story features an arcade of triple pointed arch entrances accentuated by archivolt molding. Flanking the central arch are lanterns Grafted by Benedict from old iron balconies. On the second story, a central arcade of five, slender, pointed arch windows with polychromatic ornaments and small columns is flanked by two similar windows facing wrought iron balconets. The flat roof building is crowned by a projecting, tiled cornice with modillions. The building has been altered by enclosing the three arches of the first story arcade with multi-light doors, sidelights, and overdoors, and by a 1980s rear concrete block addition not visible from the front.
