<p>Shinnston Historic District is a national historic district located at the confluence of the West Fork River and Shinn&#39;s Run, Shinnston, Harrison County, West Virginia.</p><br>
<p>The district begins on flat plain near the river and sharply rises to hillside to the southeast. US Route 19 travels through the center of the district and is a main throughfare between the commercial centers of Clarksburg and Fairmont. The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad built a line to Shinnston in 1890 and the abandoned rail line passes between Pike Street (US 19) and the West Fork River.</p><br>
<p>Development of the historic district can be separated into two geographic areas. The original Shinnston street plan was developed in 1815. Charles, Main, Walnut, Bridge, and Rebecca Streets ran perpendicular to the West Fork River while Water, Pike, and High Streets ran parallel to the river. The community remained in this configuration until 1890, when the railroad came to Shinnston. After the coming of the railroad and the industrialization of the area, Shinnston expanded to create and include Station, Mahlon, and Clement Streets.</p><br>
<p>The district encompasses 143 contributing buildings in the central business district and surrounding residential areas of Shinnston. The major influence on the town&#39;s development was the arrival of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad in 1890. Notable buildings include the Frank Abruzzino House (1922), Aaron Shinn House (c. 1821), I.O.O.F. Lodge building (1906), Dr. Emory Strickler or Wilma Watkins House (c. 1875), Guarascio or Ashby Apartments (c. 1910), and the First National Bank of Shinnston. The district includes notable examples of popular 19th- and early 20th-century architectural styles including Gothic Revival, Italianate, and Shingle Style.</p><br>

<h2>Design features</h2><br>
<p>The house has witnessed relatively few physical changes and remains much as it was when it was the seat of a 2,000-acre farm. A working farm of 300 acres still surrounds the house. The imposing character of the house is due in part to the deep lawn fronting upon the entrance elevation and extending approximately 150 feet to the highway. A curving carriage path extended in the 19th century across the lawn to the front porch, but its former course is now marked only by several evergreen trees.</p><br>
<p>Most Italianate features of the mansion are seen in the front elevation. A low-pitched cross gable centered with a round-topped window graces the facade above the single-bay porch. The tall narrow windows of both the first and second stories are headed with segmental brick arches and are capped with brick bochm1ds. A brick beltcourse at the frieze level provides footing for paired wooden brackets of the eaves. Alternating large (scroll) and small (rectangular) modern brackets embellish the eaves of the east-facing and north-facing gables. This bracketwork treatment is typical of the mid-Victorian Italianate period house.</p><br>
<p>The combination hip and gable roof is ensheathed with well-preserved slate shingles in color bands of gray, green, and red. The red tone is especially eye-catching. Rising at the center of the roof mass is a square cupola with round-topped windows and bracketed eaves. A single-story round parlor bay window faces north; it is roofed with a metal mansard bonnet.</p><br>
<p>The south facade is pierced with a 2-story round bay window, which is southwest of a significant secondary entrance. Sidelights of this doorway are tall, narrow arched panes in brilliant (original) blue glass. The sandstone foundation blocks beneath the bay windows and throughout the foundation course generally exhibit hammered/textured surfaces.</p><br>

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1981 as the Grand Trunk Western Railroad, Mount Clemens Station and designated a Michigan State Historic Site in 1973.

<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Mount Clemens was first settled in 1781, and in 1818 became the county seat of Macomb County. In the fall of 1859, Grand Trunk Western Railroad opened their Port Huron to Detroit line, travelling through Mount Clemens. The Mount Clemens station was identical to other stations built in New Haven, Fraser, and Richmond around the same time; the four are very similar to stations constructed earlier by Grand Trunk in Ontario which were likely based on an 1841 English design.</p><br>
<p>Soon after opening, the railroad hired twelve-year-old Thomas Edison, whose family had moved to Port Huron five years earlier, as a newsboy and candy salesman on the Port Huron - Detroit run. In August 1862, while the train was laying over at the Mount Clemens station, Edison pulled a three-year-old boy from the path of an oncoming train. As a reward, the boy&#39;s father, station agent J. U. Mackenzie, taught the young Edison train telegraphy and operation, spurring his interest in technology. In later years, Mackenzie joined Edison at his Menlo Park laboratory as a research associate.</p><br>
<p>Additional structures were constructed at the site over time, including a station master&#39;s house, water tower, water closet, and a second depot for freight located farther to the north.</p><br>

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1995. The building replaced another courthouse on the same site which was deemed unsafe in 1939.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Baxter County was established on March 24, 1873 by the Arkansas General Assembly from parts of four neighboring counties. The county seat was established at Mountain Home, which was a community atop a plateau between the North Fork River and White River. County government initially inhabited the Jacob Wolf House in Norfork. Today, the structure is the oldest standing county courthouse in Arkansas, built in 1811.</p><br>
<h3>Building the courthouse</h3><br>
<p>County Judge R. M. Ruthven declared the county courthouse to be unsafe and too small for county needs in 1939. Ruthven was instrumental in the construction of the Cotter Bridge in Baxter County which opened the area to commerce in 1928. The courthouse was expanded from two to three stories as a method to keep the county seat in Mountain Home in response to a 1912 state law which kept county seats from moving out of three story buildings. Ruthven acquired the services of T. Ewing Shelton, an architect from Fayetteville, Arkansas to draft plans for a new courthouse. The plans were received and approved by voters, despite protests by Gassville and Cotter residents who wanted the county seat relocated to their cities with greater populations.</p><br>
<p>During the 1940s, Baxter County was very depressed economically and the Works Progress Administration (WPA) was active in the county. Mountain Home was a shrinking community with little industry and few paved roads. As a county, Baxter County saw many farmers abandon their farms and move away during the 1940s. Construction began on the Norfork Dam in 1941 and the Bull Shoals Dam in 1947. The courthouse project received state approval as a WPA project the following year and construction began after razing the old courthouse in August 1941.</p><br>
<h2>Opening</h2><br>
<p>The new building was unveiled for county courthouse functions in August 1943. It contained all county offices, a courtroom, office space to be rented to lawyers, and the county library. Today many offices have left the courthouse.</p><br>

<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The University of Arkansas became Arkansas&#39; land-grant university in 1871 when Old Main was constructed atop McIlroy Hill. Kappa Sigma was founded as the first fraternity at the university in 1890, and in 1895 the Chi Omega fraternity for women (today called sorority) was created. The group bought Lot 12, Block 3 in the Oakland Place Addition in 1928, becoming the first Greek house to own campus property.</p><br>
<p>University building superintendent Charles L. Ellis was contacted to draw up plans for the house, and construction began in 1928. The contract was awarded to the Wages Brothers who worked with James Dinwiddle, an architect and Fayetteville building inspector.</p><br>
<p>Chi Omega has expanded onto the chapter house twice, first in 1941 and again in 1958. The first addition made it possible to house 75 members and a housemother. The 1958 addition expanded the kitchen and dining room and added more bathrooms, more bedrooms, a sun porch, a porte-cochère, a study room, an office, a recreation room, and a men&#39;s room.</p><br>
<p>In 2016, Chi Omega removed the 1941 and 1958 editions as part of a restoration of the 1928 structure. A new 9,000 ft&sup2; addition was added to the western side of the house, expanding its ground floor space and adding a roof deck.

<p>The Dixie Schoolhouse is a historic one-room schoolhouse located in San Rafael, Marin County, Northern California. It was built in 1864, in the Victorian Italianate style.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The school was the project of Irish immigrant and Marin pioneer James Miller. A few traditions attempt to explain why Miller selected the name "Dixie", a nickname for the Southern United States. Some say the schoolhouse was built by Southern carpenters, while others believe the name honors Mary Dixie, a local Indian woman; still others believe that "Dixie" is derived from the French word for "ten".</p><br>
<p>The school was in use for classes from 1864 until 1958. The Dixie School District (now the Miller Creek Elementary School District) got its name from this first school. The school district changed its name in 2020 after considering the association with the 11 states in the South that seceded from the USA to form the Confederacy.</p><br>
<p>In June 1971, the schoolhouse was moved to its current location, near Miller Creek Middle School, also in San Rafael. It was restored and renovated prior to being listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972.</p><br>
<h2>Museum</h2><br>
<p>The school is currently preserved by the Old Dixie School Foundation, and is open to the public for visits on the first Sunday of every month from 2-4 P.M.</p><br>

<p>The Bowles–Cooley House is located at the corner of West Francis and North First streets in Aspen, Colorado, United States. It is a brick structure in the Queen Anne architectural style built during the 1880s. In 1987 it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places along with many other historic properties in the city.</p><br>
<p>It is one of the few large brick houses built in Aspen during its early boomtown era, and one of the largest houses built in the city&#39;s West End. The name comes from its first two residents, a local lumber merchant who built it and a mining lawyer. Many years later it would be the home of Red Rowland, vice president of the Aspen Skiing Company and manager of the Aspen Mountain ski area. It is considered an excellent local example of the Queen Anne style, and has been preserved relatively intact. It continues to be a private residence.</p><br>
<h2>Building</h2><br>
<p>The house is located on the southwest corner of the intersection, in Aspens residential West End near the north end of the citys grid plan streets. Neighboring properties are all houses of generally more modern vintage; an exception is the Davis Waite House, also listed on the National Register, across the street at the other end of the block. Mature trees on all lots provide shade complementary to that already provided by Aspen Mountain to the south. The land remains level, sloping minimally towards the Roaring Fork River 600 ft to the northeast.</p><br>
<p>A small iron fence sets off the property from the street. The building itself is a three-story brick structure on a rusticated sandstone foundation.</p><br>
<p>Windows are tall, narrow one-over-one double-hung sash with sandstone sills and wooden surrounds. Next to the entrance is an arched stained glass window. The east face has a shed-roofed bay window with stone brackets below. On the second story the lintels are topped with a wooden course which separates the brick siding from fish-scale wooden shingles above. At the roofline the gables have decorated wooden vergeboards. Brackets support either end of the projecting section, and all gable ends have a small ball finial. The projecting and cross-gable are further topped with a wooden decoration.</p><br>
<p>The interior of the house retains much of its original woodwork. Much of it is golden oak and hand-grained mahogany. The main staircase has oak paneling, turned balusters on the railings and newel posts with carved wood insets. In the living room, the fireplace mantel is oak with a plate glass mirror behind it. Its floor has an unusual pattern of quarter-sawn limed oak with boards running parallel to the angled walls and decreasing in length near the center of the room. The dining room has its original brass light fixtures.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>From a small collection of tents and log cabins in the late 1870s, Aspen grew into a city of thousands during the 1880s. The Colorado Silver Boom drew miners and others into the upper Roaring Fork Valley, all hoping to share in the prosperity. One of the latter was Ryland R. Bowles, who sold lumber and built houses. By 1889 he had made enough money to build the house in the city&#39;s West End, where many of its other early rich settled. Its asymmetrical massing and cross-gables were hallmarks of the Queen Anne Style then newly popular.</p><br>
<p>Two years later the house became the property of William Cooley, a lawyer who represented local mining interests. In 1893 Aspens prosperity ended when, responding to that years economic crisis, Congress repealed the Sherman Silver Purchase Act. With the USA government no longer required to buy silver, the market contracted and many of Aspen&#39;s mines closed.</p><br>
<p>The next half-century was a period known in the citys history as "the quiet years". Its population steadily declined along with its economic opportunities. Many of the buildings from its boom years fell vacant, and eventually succumbed to fire or neglect abetted by the effects of severe winters at almost 8,000 ft above sea level in a remote mountain valley. The Bowles–Cooley House did not, and when the citys fortunes reversed as it developed into a popular ski resort, it was in good enough shape to be the home of Red Rowland, a vice president of the Aspen Skiing Company and manager of the ski area.</p><br>
<p>The George Taylor Jr. House is a historic house located at 187 North 400 West in Provo, Utah, United States. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>This house was built in the 1880s. This house was designated to the Provo City Landmarks register on August 22, 1995.</p><br>
<h2>George Taylor Jr</h2><br>
<p>George Taylor Jr. was born on August 31, 1864, in Provo, Utah. His father, George Taylor Sr., had founded the Taylor furniture store in 1866, which was the first furniture store in Provo. The business became incorporated in 1890 as the Taylor Brothers Company. George Jr. served as vice president and Eliza Taylor served as president. As the corporation grew, Taylor Brothers Company became the first big department store in Provo. In December 1814, George Taylor Jr., married Sarah Elizabeth Thomas in Manti. He built this home with the help of his father-in-law, a mason. The home was sold to Joseph F. Andrew in 1891, who in turn sold it in 1894 to Joseph D. Jones, a probate judge and entrepreneur. Jones sold the house to John D. Dixon in 1899, where the ownership remained until 1906 when James E. Hosmer attained the home. Hosmer sold the house to Eliza N. Taylor, and she sold it to her son George who returned in 1909 to live there until he died in December 1941. The house presently remains in the Taylor family and is rented as offices.</p><br>
<p>In 2012, restoration work was begun on the home in conjunction with Habitat for Humanity and on November 20, 2014, a ribbon cutting ceremony was held for the finished home.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<p>The Thomas N. Taylor House is a historic house located at 342 North 500 West in Provo, Utah. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>"Built in 1904, the Thomas N. Taylor house exemplifies the "dream home" of many in Utah&#39;s second generation. This house is significant as the most outstanding and well-preserved example of the Classical Box style in Provo. The box style was used extensively in Salt Lake City but was not common in Provo. Its classical detailing, irregular massing and unaltered condition make it particularly distinctive among the limited number of Provo examples of this type. Thomas N. Taylor was a popular man in the area. He served as manager of the Taylor Brothers Store, Provo mayor, and President of the Utah Stake of the LDS Church (Historic Provo p. 9)." The Thomas Taylor House was designated to the Provo City Landmarks register as of July 28, 1995.</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>Thomas N. Taylor</h2><br>
<p>Thomas N. Taylor was born in 1868 in Provo, Utah, the son of George Taylor Sr. and Eliza Nicholls Taylor. His father, George Taylor Sr., had founded the Taylor furniture store in 1866, which was the first furniture store in Provo. "In 1890 the business was incorporated as the Taylor Brothers Company with George, Jr., as vice-president and his mother, Eliza Nicholls Taylor as president. The business expanded, and with new lines of products and new departments, the Taylor Brothers Company became the first big "department store" in Provo (National Park Service p. 2)." Thomas&#39; education consisted of attending Provo schools and eventually Brigham Young Academy (now university). He married Maud Rogers in the L.D.S. Manti temple in the year 1889. Thomas was a political man. He was mayor of Provo from 1900 to 1903, and a candidate for governor of Utah as a democrat in 1920, although he did not win the election.</p><br>
<p>Thomas was also active in his religion. A prominent member of the L.D.S. faith, Taylor served as bishop of the Provo Third Ward for nineteen years and subsequently served as president of the Utah Stake for twenty years. Taylor also served as a stake patriarch within the LDS Church. Also active within the community, Thomas was a member of the board of trustees of Brigham Young University and served as chairman of that group and of the University of Utah Board of Regents. Taylor also helped to establish the Utah Valley Hospital. Thomas Taylor died in 1950. As for his home, "The house was deeded to Taylor Brothers after Taylor&#39;s death. In 1957 David S. Nelson bought the house. He owned it for sixteen years, then sold the house to Verl G. Dixon, a former mayor of Provo."</p><br>
<h2>Preservation</h2><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 the Knight-Mangum House, the John R. Twelves House, the Jesse Knight House, the Knight-Allen House, the William H. Ray House, and this house, 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>Hamnett Historic District is a historic district in Wilkinsburg, Pennsylvania. Bordered roughly by Rebecca Avenue, the rear property lines on the east side of Center Street, Sewer Way, and Lytle Way, it encompasses 77 buildings and 114 acres.</p><br>
<p>This district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on June 28, 2010.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Established in 2010, the 114-acre Hamnett Historic District is located in Wilkinsburg, Pennsylvania, and is bordered, roughly, by Rebecca Avenue and by the rear property lines on the east side of Center Street, Sewer Way, and Lytle Way. Among its 77 historic structures are residences which were designed in the Queen Anne and Colonial Revival styles of architecture.</p><br>
<p>Restoration on the historic structures in this district began in 2004 via initiatives launched by the Pittsburgh History and Landmarks Foundation and that foundations for-profit development affiliate, Landmark Development Corporation. Within a decade, more than 70 structures were improved, a new neighborhood center was opened, and the communitys supply of affordable housing was increased. The collaborators were subsequently honored with the Richard H. Driehaus Foundation National Preservation Award in recognition of their accomplishments.</p><br>
<p>In 2015, the two affiliates entered into a collaboration with Falconhurst Development to begin an $11.5 million multi-site restoration within and near the Hamnett Historic District. In addition to restoring four vacant buildings which had been built sometime around the beginning of the 20th century, the developer had plans to open a series of new townhouses in the same area by 2016 with the collaborators again indicating that the housing would be affordable, based on United States Housing and Urban Development Department (HUD) guidelines. Ground was broken on the project in late September 2015.</p><br>
<h3>Placement of this district on the National Register of Historic Places</h3><br>
<p>The communitys application to place the Hamnett Historic District on the National Register of Historic Places was reviewed by the Historic Preservation Board of the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission at its meeting on October 6, 2009, along with applications for the: Hamburg Historic District in Hamburg, Pennsylvania, the Newville Historic District in Newville, Pennsylvania, the Pennsylvania State Office Building and the Philadelphia Quartermaster Depot in Philadelphia, the Experimental and Safety Research Coal Mines in Allegheny Countys South Park Township, and the Cheney Farm, Hopewell Farm, and Chandler Mill Road Bridge in Chester County.</p><br>
<p>The Hamnett Historic District was then officially listed on the National Register of Historic Places on June 28, 2010.</p><br>
<p>Pennsalt Historic District  is a historic district in Natrona, Pennsylvania.</p><br>
<p>According to the Library of Congress, the Pennsalt Historic District, is "an early and architecturally intact collection of housing built by the Pennsylvania Salt Manufacturing Company," and "is a significant example of a western Pennsylvania company town of the mid to late 19th century.""," in "</p><br>
<p>Historic American Buildings Survey," circa 1933 or later. Washington, D.C.: Library of Congress, retrieved online December 16, 2022.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The area was originally built as a company town by the Pennsylvania Salt Manufacturing Company during the 1850s. According to The Pittsburgh Press, one hundred and fifty homes were built for Pennsalt employees between 1850 and 1880. Some were one-story frame cottages, others were two-story brick rowhouses. A company town from the time that Pennsalt arrived in Natrona in 1850 until the company left roughly a century later, it is an "approximately six-block area that runs parallel to the Allegheny River."</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on July 18, 1985.</p><br>
<p>In 2001, debate ensued when commissioners from the community of Harrison deemed one of the structures in the historic district as unsafe and too expensive to restore. After securing federal funds to pay for razing the Old Natrona Store, they were initially prevented from proceeding with the demolition by officials employed by the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission (PHMC), who felt that other historic buildings in Pennsylvania that had been in worse condition had been saved and that this historic store should be preserved because it was "one of the few remaining structures from the town&#39;s early days as a center for the salt industry" in what was "one of the oldest company towns in the state." According to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, "Parts of the three-story brick building still solid, but the roof collapsed, along with the two floors beneath it. Bricks near the top of the building loose, and parts of the building shifted and settled" by October of that year. An agreement was reached in November of that year between Harrison officials, the Allegheny County Department of Development, and the PHMC which allowed Harrison officials to tear the building down after the Old Natrona Store was photographed and its history officially documented.</p><br>
