<p>The Battery Heights Historic District is a historic neighborhood and national historic district located southeast of downtown Raleigh, North Carolina, USA. Named for the earthen batteries stationed in the area during the Civil War, the neighborhood has a suburban character, despite its close proximity to the city center.</p><br>
<p>The district is roughly bounded by East Martin Street on the north, Battery Drive on the east, East Davie Street on the south, and Sherrybrook Drive (originally Cox Street) on the west. It has a highly intact collection of 18 contributing buildings built between 1956-1964 and is a good example of Raleighs post-World War II suburban development. Battery Heights prominent architectural styles include Ranch and Split-Level homes primarily built in brick, stone and concrete.</p><br>
<p>Battery Heights was one of a few subdivisions planned for the African American community in Raleigh. Its original owners and residents included physicians, educators, builders and government agency employees—one of whom, George Exum, was as the general contractor for several of the homes. The neighborhood is rapidly renewing since the mid-2010s and many new homes are being built on vacant lots and existing homes are being repaired. The newly renovated Roberts Park and Community Center is situated centrally in this neighborhood. The park has a childrens playground, tennis court, basketball court, small baseball field and community center. Raleigh National Cemetery encompasses 7 acres in Battery Height&#39;s neighborhood.</p><br>
<p>Battery Heights was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in January 2011.</p><br>
<p>Capitol Heights Historic District is a historic post-World War II neighborhood and national historic district located just north of the city of Raleigh, North Carolina. Built between about 1946 and 1949, the district currently encompasses 87 contributing buildings.</p><br>
<p>The subdivision was platted in 1946 and developed as a result of the postwar housing demand. Its homes are homogenous in form and design: small one-story two- and three-bedroom houses constructed in the Minimal Traditional style. Ernest I. Clancy and George Henry Wright were the primary builders of the Capitol Heights neighborhood. Today the neighborhood represents one of the best-preserved post-war speculative subdivisions in Raleigh.</p><br>
<p>Due to its high level of integrity, Capitol Heights was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in January 2011.</p><br>
<p>Hawkwood is an Italianate-villa style country house near Gordonsville, Virginia, United States. It was designed by architect Alexander Jackson Davis of New York in 1851 for Richard Overton Morris of the locally prominent Morris family, and was completed in 1855. The house, which has also been described as being in the Italian Villa style, is one of only two Davis designs in that style which have not been substantially altered.</p><br>
<p>The house is constructed of stuccoed brick, dominated by a projecting two-story pavilion with one-story hipped-roof wings on either side. The south wing has an arcade on three sides, and features a picturesque three-story tower capped by a hipped roof. The main entry hall is octagonal. Interiors were sparsely detailed. Landscaping is informal, complementing the house and its hilltop site. A nearby overseer&#39;s house is complementary, in a wood-frame cottage style.</p><br>
<p>The house was gutted by fire in 1982, which left the walls and tower standing. It was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on September 17, 1970.</p><br>
<p>Green Springs was built in the late 18th century on lands in Louisa County, Virginia assembled by Sylvanus Morris. His son Richard  developed 1,746 acre near the mineral springs that gave the property its name and built the two-story frame house. The property stands in an unusually fertile region of central Virginia, surrounded by a number of 18th and 19th century farms and plantations. The district has been designated a National Historic Landmark district, comprising about 14,000 acre under scenic easement protection.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The main house is a two-story frame structure with a compact plan. The house forgoes the typical Virginia central-hall plan, employing instead a simple four-room plan on the main floor, with the stairs relegated to a small space at the rear. The two front rooms each have their own entry in the five-bay main elevation. The rear has received a shed-roofed addition, and a two-story frame addition has been added on the west side of the house. The interior features its original woodwork, using simple shapes and patterns. The property includes a number of barns, slave quarters and other dependencies.</p><br>
<h2>The Morris family</h2><br>
<p>Colonel Richard Morris held a number of public offices, including Commissary for the Commonwealth, and was a member of the Virginia House of Delegates in 1788. Morris operated a small resort at the Green Springs with two houses, an icehouse, servant quarters, a blacksmith shop and utility buildings, which were abandoned by Richard&#39;s son and heir James Maury Morris.</p><br>
<p>Green Springs was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on June 30, 1972. It is a component of the Green Springs National Historic Landmark District.</p><br>
<p>Boswell&#39;s Tavern is an excellent example of a complete 18th century tavern in Virginia. Located near Gordonsville, Virginia, the tavern is located at the intersection of present-day USA Route 15 and Virginia State Route 22, the centerpiece of a village named after the tavern. The tavern was built in the mid-18th century, probably by Colonel John Boswell. The tavern was the site of a 1781 encampment by American forces during the American Revolutionary War under the Marquis de Lafayette. The tavern was a frequent meeting place for notable Virginia figures, including Thomas Jefferson, James Madison and Patrick Henry. A few colonial troops were captured at the tavern in March 1781 by British colonel Banastre Tarleton in an attempt to capture Jefferson and to disrupt meetings of the Virginia legislature.</p><br>
<p>The tavern is a two-story three-bay frame building with prominent chimneys at the west end. The innkeepers wing, originally 1-1/2 stories, has been increased in height to two stories. A small gabled porch is a modern addition, as is a one-story addition to the innkeepers quarters. The public section consists of two main rooms, a warming room, a bar and a stair hall. Portions of the original bar remain. The innkeeper&#39;s wing consists of a single large room on the main level with a sleeping area above.</p><br>
<p>Boswell&#39;s Tavern was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on November 25, 1969.</p><br>

<p>Grassdale is an Italianate-style villa in Louisa County, Virginia, notable for its size and style in a stable, rural region. The house was built in 1861 by James Maury Morris, Jr., a member of the prominent Morris family of Louisa County. The tract had originally been assembled by James Morris&#39; grandfather, Colonel Richard Morris, who had established the neighboring Green Springs plantation. The property is part of the Green Springs National Historic Landmark District, established to preserve the notable houses of the area and their surrounding landscapes.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>Grassdale is a two-story brick house in a T-shaped plan. A broad veranda surrounds the house on the front (east) side and part of the south side. The exterior features extensive bracketing in scales varied to suit the main house and the porch. The ell takes the form of a projecting pavilion, with its own projecting porch. The interior is laid out around a central hall with a room on either side, a cross hall with a stairway, and a dining room to the rear. The front hall is set apart from the cross hall with pilasters and an entablature. The main rooms have access to the porch through full-length windows that raise into a pocket in the wall above. Outbuildings include a smokehouse and a two-story kitchen.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>James Maury Morris Jr. inherited the property from his father, Dr. James Maury Morris Sr., in 1844. There had been structures at the site prior to the construction of the 1861 house. James Jr. died in 1872, leaving Grassdale to his widow. Their daughter, Imogene, inherited the house. Her husband was Rear Admiral David Watson Taylor, whose Watson and Taylor family connections were notable apart from his own notability in naval affairs and ship design. Imogene sold the house to the Walton Lumber Company in 1943.</p><br>
<p>Grassdale was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on July 2, 1973. It is included in the Green Springs National Historic Landmark District, which encompasses much of the surrounding countryside.</p><br>
<p>The United States Post Office and Courthouse, commonly called the Knoxville Post Office, is a state building located at 501 Main Street in Knoxville, Tennessee, United States. Constructed in 1934 for use as a post office and federal courthouse, the building contains numerous Art Deco and Moderne elements, and is clad in Tennessee marble. While the building is still used as a branch post office, the court section is now used by the state courts. The building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places for its architecture and political significance.</p><br>
<h2>Design</h2><br>
<p>The Knoxville Post Office is a three-story structure occupying the lot bounded by Main Street, Locust Street, Walnut Street, and Cumberland Avenue. The building measures 250 ft by 138 ft, and contains 123,000 square feet of gross space. The first floor is used primarily for the post office, while the upper floors contain the court room and offices. The lot includes a large parking lot behind the building, mainly for postal service vehicles.</p><br>
<p>The building was constructed using six different types of Tennessee marble, The exterior, clad mostly in Tennessee "pink" marble, includes a facade of imposing columns, Moderne-style cylindrical molding along the roofline, and four eagle statues carved by Candoro Marble Works sculptor Albert Milani (1892&ndash;1972). The entrances are located at the corners of the building, while the front of the building contains aluminum casement windows and a sunken courtyard. This courtyard is masked by a retaining wall built of red Tennessee marble, and topped with Art Deco light fixtures.</p><br>
<p>The interior of the building contains numerous Art Deco elements, namely grillwork with floral motifs, floral patterns in the entrance transoms, aluminum spandrels on the upper floors with floral and zigzag patterns, and a plaster ceiling with aluminum floral and zigzag moldings (this ceiling was later hidden by the installation of a tiled ceiling in the 1960s). The first floor contains a marble floor and marble, aluminum, and bronze paneling. The courtroom floor is made of cork wood.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The lot on which the Knoxville Post Office now stands was part of James Whites 1795 extension of the city. By 1886, this lot contained several large houses and townhouses. By the time the federal government purchased the lot for the post offices construction, it was occupied by the home of prominent Knoxville physician Walter S. Nash and his wife, Eva.</p><br>
<p>Knoxvilles first federal building, the Old Customs House, was built on Market Street in 1874, and expanded in 1910. By the following decade, the citys growing population had rendered this building too small for the city&#39;s postal needs. In the late 1920s, Congress appropriated several million dollars for the construction of new postal facilities across the country. Senator Kenneth McKellar and Congressman J. Will Taylor, both from Tennessee, managed to have some of this money allocated for the construction of a new post office and federal courthouse for Knoxville.</p><br>
<p>The new post office and courthouse was designed by Baumann and Baumann, a prominent local firm that had recently designed the Andrew Johnson Hotel on Gay Street. The firm&#39;s two chief partners were Albert Baumann, Sr. (1861&ndash;1942) and his son, Albert Baumann, Jr. (1897&ndash;1952). Albert Baumann, Jr., had studied architecture at the University of Pennsylvania under Beaux-Arts champion Paul Cret, and the design of the Knoxville post office was likely conceived from a Treasury Department model inspired by Cret.</p><br>
<p>The A.W. Kushe Company of Detroit was hired as the contractor for the new building. Construction began in December 1932, and was completed in February 1934. On February 15 of that year, the new building was dedicated in a ceremony attended by Congressman Taylor and Knoxville Mayor John O&#39;Connor. The new post office opened about a month later, on March 11, 1934.</p><br>
<p>The Knoxville Post Office was renovated in 1964, during which time a lower, tiled ceiling was installed.</p><br>
<p>The post office is twice mentioned in Cormac McCarthys 1979 novel, Suttree. In one instance, the title character traverses the buildings long ground-floor corridor to briefly escape the bitter cold. In another scene, an itinerant mountain wanderer known as "the goatman" is chastised by a police officer for allowing his goats to graze on the post office&#39;s lawn.</p><br>
<p>The Tannery is a historic tannery building constructed by the colonial Moravians in Bethlehem, Northampton County, Pennsylvania. It is a limestone building built in 1761, and is part of the Bethlehem Colonial Industrial Quarter.</p><br>
<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1972. The building is part of the Historic Moravian Bethlehem District which was designated as a National Historic Landmark District in 2012 and later nominated to the USA Tentative List in 2016 for consideration to become a World Heritage Site.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The tannery was originally built as a small log structure in 1743 along the east side of the Grist Mill, which is now Luckenbach Mill. Leather was both an important material and a valuable commodity in early Bethlehemm, making the need for the tannery all the greater and one of the most profitable industries. It supplied the necessary leather for shoemakers, harness makers, and saddlers in Bethlehem, Nazareth, and the surrounding areas.</p><br>
<p>As the community grew, so did the tanning operation, and a larger, more permanent stone structure was built on the west side of the tail race in 1761. It was constructed as a 35 ft. by 66 ft., five bay, three-story limestone building with a one-story attic, built in the German Colonial style of architecture.</p><br>
<p>By the 1760s, the colonial Moravians processed 1000-2000 animal hides at the Tannery annually and produced a large variety of leather products such as clothing, shoes, harnesses, and machinery parts. It was one of their most profitable trades. When trade with England ended due to the American Revolution, the need for leather rose significantly. Leather boots, caps, coats, buckets, and saddles were in high demand for the Continental Army. The Tannery increased processed animal hides to an estimated 3000 annually.</p><br>
<p>The Tannery was operated by the Moravians until 1829 and tanning ceased in 1873 due to the rising price of tanbark. The structure was converted into a multi-family dwelling and was then used for various operations. The building eventually deteriorated to the point of becoming a tenement house surrounded by an automobile junk yard.</p><br>
<p>“It is interesting to note that, when the Tannery was constructed in 1761, the first floor would have been accessed by walking up steps rather than down as we do today. Archaeological excavations found changes in the creek bank along with soil deposits around the Tannery, indicating heavy fill. These discoveries confirmed that the original level of the land was seven or eight feet lower than it is now, or about four feet lower than the current Tannery doorway opening.”</p><br>
<p>The Tannery was restored between 1968 and 1971 by John Milner Associates as an historic site interpreting the 18th century tanning operations. After restoration was complete the building was open to the public for tours and educational programming from the late 1970s. Continued restoration from grants received allowed the opening of the vat room in 2001 which had previously not been accessible due to deterioration of the viewing platforms. It closed in 2004 due to damages from hurricane Ivan.</p><br>
<p>The Tannery is owned by the city of Bethlehem with a long-term lease to Historic Bethlehem Museums & Sites, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization. The building is not presently open to the public.</p><br>
<h2>The tanning process</h2><br>
<p>In the 18th century turning animal hides into tanned leather was a lengthy, seven-step process that could take up to two years or longer. The work required a great deal of strength as the wet hides could weigh several hundred pounds. "In 1790, for example, David Gold gave up his job after several years because of what he described as a weakness in his arms. Most of the tanners in Bethlehem came directly from Germany."</p><br>
<p>“First the hides had to be washed, cleaned, and trimmed. Next they were soaked in a lime solution for several weeks; this facilitated ‘beaming,’ the subsequent scraping of the hide to remove the hair and any remaining flesh. The hides were then soaked for many weeks in a ‘bating’ solution, a foul-smelling mixture of water, salt, and manure that neutralized any remaining lime and also altered the chemical structure of the skin to make it more flexible. Next came the actual tanning step of immersing the hides in a vat filled with tanbark and its rich ‘liquor’ extra for six to twelve months. Afterwards the leather was beaten or fulled to make it more pliable and then carefully dried. Soft, waterproof leathers with a smooth finish required further treatment by a currier.”</p><br>
<p>Tanbark was an essential ingredient in the tanning process. Each hide required one to two times its weight in bark for proper tanning, with the tannery consuming 60 to 100 cords (218 to 363 cubic meters) of tanbark annually. Oak and hemlock barks were gathered in the spring and dried, then stored in a shed to protect from the rain until needed. The tanbark was then reduced to a coarse powder at the tanbark mill using a contemporary German practice of bark stamping. This set the Moravians apart as most early American bark mills utilized animal-powered stone rollers to crush the bark.</p><br>
<p>The Gristmillers House, also known as The Millers House, is an historic home which is located in Bethlehem, Northampton County, Pennsylvania.</p><br>
<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.</p><br>
<h2>History and architectural features</h2><br>
<p>The original building is a one-story limestone structure that was built in 1782. A one-and-one-half-story brick addition in the Federal style was added during the 1830s. It is included as part of the Bethlehem Colonial Industrial Quarter.</p><br>
<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.</p><br>
<h2>History and description</h2><br>
<p>The Millers House was one of the early private, family homes and the first separate residence for the master of a trade constructed after the end of Bethlehems General Economy in the 1760s. Situated adjacent to the Luckenbach Mill, which was erected in 1869, the home allowed the miller to live close to the mill, where he was responsible for grinding grain into flour. It served as a home until the 1970s and currently awaits restoration.</p><br>
<p>The Gristmiller&#39;s House is presently under the care of Historic Bethlehem Museums & Sites, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization.</p><br>
<p>While the building is not currently open to the public, visitors can enjoy the Miller&#39;s House Garden, planted on a Germanic four-square pattern from 1870. The garden includes native plants such as a variety of vintage roses and herbs, and is maintained by the Bethlehem Garden Club.</p><br>
<p>Bethlehem Steel Lehigh Plant Mill #2 Annex, also known as Merchant Mill No. 2 and the Johnson Machinery Building, is part of the historic steel mill located in Bethlehem in Northampton County and the Lehigh Valley region of eastern Pennsylvania. It is a large, square, two-story brick industrial building.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Mill #2 Annex was built between 1940 and 1942, by the Bethlehem Steel Corporation.</p><br>
<p>It was originally designed and built as a surface preparation and finishing mill for the Alloy and Tool Steel Division at Bethlehem Steel&#39;s Lehigh Plant in Bethlehem.</p><br>
<p>The 4.5 acre Mill No. 2 Annex was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2004.</p><br>
<p>The building has since been renovated and currently contains condominiums, two commercial properties, and a parking garage.</p><br>
<p>The Brothers-O&#39;Neil House is fully developed example of Bungalow architecture. The gable roof is pierced by a traditional roof dormer and exterior brick chimney on the south elevation. The front porch is supported by two large wire-cut brick columns. The foundation is concrete with a sandstone plinth. Side gables have a shingle wall treatment above the first floor, while the other walls have aluminum siding. The interior of the house comprises beamed ceilings and original woodwork.</p><br>
<p>The estate of Marie M. Marshall deeded this land to the Home Mission of the Presbyterian Church in 1916. An Augusta undertaker, L. M. Brothers, acquired the vacant parcel following the brief interim ownership of William Sayers, The house was built by Brothers son-in-law, Leo G. ONeil, during 1916 and 1917. Brothers deeded half interest in the house and property to ONeil in 1917. Both families continued to live in the house. In 1922, as part of a divorce settlement, ONeil deeded "the house and all claims of alimony and future support" to his former wife who sold the property in 1923 to Isaac Reynolds.</p><br>
<p>Bethlehem Silk Mill is a historic silk mill complex located in Bethlehem, Northampton County, Pennsylvania. It was built in 1886, and expanded about 1896 and about 1901. The complex once consisted of a total of seven interconnected historic buildings that formed an open rectangular plan around two central courtyards. Some of the buildings have been demolished. All of the buildings were constructed of red brick with stone foundations.</p><br>
<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2005.</p><br>
<p>Farmington is a house near Charlottesville, in Albemarle County, Virginia, that was greatly expanded by a design by Thomas Jefferson that Jefferson executed while he was President of the United States. The original house was built in the mid-18th century for Francis Jerdone on a 1,753 acre property. Jerdone sold the land and house to George Divers, a friend of Jefferson, in 1785. In 1802, Divers asked Jefferson to design an expansion of the house. The house, since greatly enlarged, is now a clubhouse.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Jefferson addition comprises the present buildings main facade, consisting of an elongated octagon with its long axis perpendicular to the large tetrastyle Tuscan portico. The original house was a two-story, three-bay brick house over a basement with a side-hall plan. There were two rooms above and below. Jeffersons addition is to the east. The additions portico extends for two stories in front of three main bays, with the entry door centered, flanked by typical Jefferson triple-hung windows extending to the floor. The door and windows are crowned by round windows lighting the upper level. To either side are projecting half-octagon wings with windows matching the central portion. In Jeffersons design and as built, the long octagon was divided into two unequal rooms. The interior was greatly altered following a mid-19th century fire, with the creation of a central hall and a second floor over all. When the property became a country club the second floor was removed in 1929 and the three spaces were combined into a single space. The house was greatly enlarged to the rear with service, dining and accommodation spaces.</p><br>
<h2>Influence</h2><br>
<p>Farmington was extensively studied by University of Virginia architectural historian Fiske Kimball, who adapted the design for his own residence, Shack Mountain, now a National Historic Landmark.</p><br>
<p>Farmington was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on September 15, 1970.</p><br>
<p>The Massanetta Springs Historic District is a retreat in Rockingham County, Virginia, administered by the Presbyterian Synod of the Mid-Atlantic, and chiefly associated with the Massanetta Springs Summer Bible Conference Encampment. The district includes the Hotel , Hudson Auditorium  and Camp Massanetta . A Methodist camp existed at the site, originally known as Taylor&#39;s Springs, from 1816.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The first settler in the area was James Taylor, who built a house there after 1730. About 1816 Jonathan and William Taylor leased the site to the Rockingham Circuit of the Methodist Episcopal Church for use as a camp meeting ground. The annual meetings were extremely popular, and the springs were reported as having healing properties. The springs came under the ownership of Evan Henton in the late 1840s, who operated a modest spa at the site. A partnership established in the 1870s attempted to rename the property the "Ague and Healing Springs", and Dr. Burke Chrisman built a house there in 1885 and a hotel that may have survived until 1994. By 1893 the area was becoming known as Massanetta Springs, a portmanteau of the common local place name Massanutten and Chrismans wifes name, Henrietta. Chrisman marketed water from the springs, artificially carbonated and sold nationwide as "Massanetta Spring Water" and "Massanetta Water". After the death of Dr. Chrisman in 1909, the property was sold to banker James Robert Lupton of Harrisonburg, Virginia. Lupton began to build a brick hotel at the springs. In 1912 he sold the property to the Massanetta Springs Company, but took back ownership in 1919. The same year Lupton and his wife sold the resort to Hampden-Sydney College in return for a lifetime annuity of $2,400.</p><br>
<p>Hampden-Sydney College apparently planned to use the property as a Presbyterian boarding school, and retained the New York architectural firm of Visscher & Burley to draft a master plan. By 1920 the academy was losing appeal, and in 1923 the college transferred ownership to the synod. The synod operated the resort as a religious retreat once more and built a tabernacle, the open-air Hudson Hudson Auditorium. Conferences and attendance at Massanetta was ecumenical, with Methodist, Baptist, Brethren and Lutheran groups organizing conferences. In the 1930s, the idea of using the property for a school briefly resurfaced, but was abandoned. In 1931, the Massanetta Music School held festivals for church choirs, running through 1939.</p><br>
<p>From 1925, a series of cottages was built near "The Grove", eventually comprising 41 privately owned cottages. These cottages are outside the historic district. In 1947, the Richardson Building, an army surplus structure, was built to provide additional guest accommodation; it was modernized and given a second floor in 1962, giving it the appearance of a motel, and resulting in its exclusion form the historic district.</p><br>
<p>In the mid-1950s, Camp Massanetta was established on a ridge to the west of the main development. Minnesota architect W. Glen Wallace designed a campground with sixteen cabins, lodges, dining hall, bathhouses, infirmary, director&#39;s cabin and a swimming pool, all completed in 1956. Tent campsites were developed in the surrounding woods. In 2001, the New Lodge was built.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The most significant building in the district is the hotel. The brick and frame hotel is four stories with a mansard roof in a version of the Second Empire style. The ground floor is of brick, with stuccoed second and third floors, and a pressed -metal treatment on the attic or fourth floor. A porch extends across the front and rear. The interior was partly renovated in the 1950s with plywood and glass. The principal interior historic element is the grand staircase.</p><br>
<p>The Hudson Memorial Auditorium is a roofed structure open to the weather on the sides. The original section was built in 1922, with a classroom addition in 1925. More classrooms were added in 1930, 1939 and circa 1950. The roof trusses are exposed. Seats are bolted to the sloping floor, which falls to the stage at the west end. Benches are arranged on the sides, with bleachers at the east end. Classrooms are underneath the auditorium, with toilets in a basement.</p><br>
<p>Other buildings include the rustic Fannie Lupton Building, which provides meeting space, and the Lucy Steele Memorial Prayer Room, a plain concrete block chapel. The reinforced concrete Nook (1957–58) is a book store and cafe. The Springhouse houses faucets and the spring itself.</p><br>
<p>Camp Massanetta is arranged in four "villages" labeled A, B, C and D. Buildings are of frame construction on concrete slabs with rough siding. Deep overhanging eaves are supported by diagonal braces with a modern look. Interiors are austere with open trusses and minimal finishes. The Bell Auditorium is the chief building in the camps, which continues the theme of deep overhangs supported by diagonals. It is now used as a dining facility.</p><br>
<p>Massanetta Springs was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on May 26, 2005.</p><br>
<p>The Chases Theater and Riggs Building, also known as the Keith-Albee Theater and the Keith-Albee Building, was a historic building located at 1426 G Street and 615-627 15th Street, Northwest, Washington, D.C., in the citys Downtown area.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Beaux-Arts theater was originally designed by Jules Henri de Sibour, and built in 1912, for Plimpston B. Chase. He sold the theater to B.F. Keith in 1913.</p><br>
<p>It was a part of the B.F. Keith vaudeville circuit, which became a part of the Keith-Albee-Orpheum chain, and then RKO Pictures. William Howard Taft attended the opening in 1912, and Woodrow Wilson regularly attended.</p><br>
<p>Entertainers included: Will Rogers, Eddie Cantor, Rudy Vallée, Laurel and Hardy, and ZaSu Pitts.</p><br>
<p>In 1956, RKO sold the building, to Morris Cafritz for $1.55 million. In 1959, he offered to sell the building to the city as a performing arts center, but the city would not assume the $1.5 million mortgage.</p><br>
<p>The movie theater closed in 1978; it was placed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>In March 1978, the United States Commission of Fine Arts recommended saving the facade of the Keith-Albee Theater and National Metropolitan Bank.</p><br>
<p>In 1979, the D.C. Superior Court halted demolition of the Keith Albee building, but then allowed demolition of the interior. The developer said he would preserve the historic facade of the Keith-Albee theater building, if he could demolish Rhodes&#39; Tavern.</p><br>
<p>It is now the Metropolitan Square office building.</p><br>

<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The first Episcopal service in St. Peter was held on October 27, 1854 at the home of St. Peter&#39;s founder Captain William Bigelow Dodd and his wife Harriet. Bishop Jackson Kemper officiated at the service which was attended by 37 people. Mrs. Dodd was instrumental in inviting Bishop Kemper to St. Peter. A parish was soon established and the first church a wood-frame structure was built in 1855 near where the current stone church stands. The Rev. Ezra Jones was the first rector of the congregation, he was succeeded by Rev. Edward Livermore who was rector at the time the current church was constructed. The bell from the first church was placed in the tower of the new church and has rung on the death of every American president since Abraham Lincoln. The bodies of Captain Dodd, his wife Harriet, and two of their children—Willis Gorman Dodd and Harriet Virginia Dodd—lie buried in a grave behind the present church.</p><br>
<h2>Current status</h2><br>
<p>The church is still an active parish in the Episcopal Diocese of Minnesota. Its current rector is the Rev. Dr. Thomas D. Harries. Rev. Harries will be retiring as of the end of April 2022.</p><br>
<p>Speed the Plough is a farm in Amherst County, Virginia near the village of Elon, listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The farm represents a succession of farm buildings from about 1799 to 1940. Its main house, a two-story brick structure, was built for William Dearing . Dearing held about fourteen slaves on the farm prior to the American Civil War. The property was sold out of the Dearing family about 1915 and the land was converted to an orchard by the Montrose Fruit Company, abandoning the house and most buildings. The land and house were later acquired by Rowland Lea . His partner, George Stevens , built a stone summer residence, the Rock Cottage, on the property. Several other buildings have been renovated for residential use and comprise a small village in what are now pasture lands.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<h3>Main house</h3><br>
<p>The main house was built about 1850, a two-story brick single-pile Greek Revival building in the I-house pattern with a main block and a one-story ell to the rear. The interior follows a central-hall plan, with a living room to the west of the hall and a dining room to the east. The house was expanded in 1927 by the Lea family with a porch to the front and a one-story addition on the north with a sitting room-dining room and a kitchen.</p><br>
<h3>Rock Cottage</h3><br>
<p>The Rock Cottage was built by local builder Samuel Belk about 1933 at some distance from the main house. George Stevens engaged an architect from New York to design the house as an English hunting lodge on the site of the farm&#39;s old kitchen. The -story house is built in Tudor Revival style in stone. The L-shaped house is built around a central chimney. The main room is a "great hall" that functions as a living and dining room, with half-timbered interior walls and exposed roof beams. The room is furnished with bookshelves, one of which opens to reveal a hidden spiral iron stair to the basement. A kitchen is adjacent. The stair hall has stairs to the upper level and the basement. A master bedroom suite lies beyond the stair hall on the main level. There are two bedrooms and two baths on the upper levels. The basement features a large room with a fireplace under the great hall suitable for dancing, while other rooms were used for entertainment. A matching garage is nearby, with space for three cars with a basement beneath. An apartment is attached. The basement was to be used as a workroom and includes a fireplace. The apartment comprises two rooms with a bathroom. A basement, originally used to store wood for heating, has been converted to additional living space. The entire complex is surrounded by a dry-laid stone wall.</p><br>
<h3>Other structures</h3><br>
<p>A chicken house, dating to about 1933, is set between the garage and the main house. The one-story structure is built of fieldstone. The 1933 bank barn is set on a concrete foundation with a small milking parlor and accommodations for horses on the lower level and a farm equipment storage loft above. A small apartment is incorporated into the southwest corner. A circa 1940 tenant house made of concrete block is located to the southwest of the barn. A 1933 pump house, of wood-frame construction on a concrete foundation, has been enlarged for use as a dwelling. A tennis court, which replaced an old barn, is nearby, built about 1933 with a clay court, now replaced with asphalt. Other structures include a concrete water reservoir and storage sheds.</p><br>
<p>The springhouse is the oldest structure on the farm, built around 1799 and restored in 2006. It is a dry-laid fieldstone structure. The site also includes the Dearing family cemetery, surrounded by a wrought iron fence and comprising the graves of William Dearing (d. 1862), his wife Jane (d.1910) and son Clarence (d.1907). A small African-American cemetery features a few headstones and rock markers. A second African-American cemetery is believed to exist, but its location is unknown.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The property, at the base of Tobacco Row Mountain, was first owned by Duncan Graham of Caroline County, who sold 710 acre to George McDaniel in 1788, who in turn sold 353 acre to Philip Burton in 1799. After an inheritance dispute, the property, now 282 acre, passed to John R. Irvine of Bedford, Virginia, who sold it in 1835 to Charles Ellis of Richmond. The land is believed to have been used to cultivate tobacco for Ellis company, Ellis and Allan. Ellis partner John Allan was the foster father of Edgar Allan Poe. William Alexander Dearing acquired the land from Ellis&#39; estate in 1850. By then the property was already known as "Speed the Plough," a saying associated with success or luck in farming, and the name of a fifteenth-century English song.</p><br>
<p>Dearing raised tobacco and corn on the property, building the house about 1850 and other structures through 1856. Dearing was killed in 1862 at age 42 in a feud with neighbor Valentine Rucker. For unknown reasons Dearing carried a grudge against Rucker and ambushed him, firing and failing to kill Rucker with his gun. Rucker returned fire, fatally wounding Dearing. Rucker was tried and acquitted of murder. Dearings widow Jane managed the farm, raising three children. Jane died in 1910, and her only surviving child, Addie Dearing Cox, sold the land to the Montrose Fruit Company of New York in 1915. The land was planted with apples and peaches. In 1927 the company had to divest itself of the land and sold the property to the Montrose Fruit Companys presidents sister and her husband, Theodora Stevens Lea and Rowland Lea, who had lived on a nearby farm from 1915. The Leas were active locally, and many family members moved to Virginia to help manage the farm, including Phyllis Lea and Theodora Lea Girling, Rowland Leas sisters, who lived at neighboring "Fairlea." Another brother of Theodora visited the farm. George C. Stevens was a New York representative of Lloyd&#39;s of London, and liked the place so much that he entered into partnership with the Leas and built the Rock Cottage. The farm eventually passed to Philip Girling, son of Theodora Lea Girling and the orchard manager, whose family continues to own the land.</p><br>
<p>The property is operated as a bed and breakfast.</p><br>
<p>The farm was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on April 30, 2007.</p><br>
<p>Salubria Lodge No. 31 is a historic Masonic building located at 85 W. Central Street in Cambridge, Washington County, Idaho, United States. Built in 1922 to replace an earlier meeting hall destroyed by fire, it is a two-story building made of red brick and concrete with a sloped roof over an attic space designed by Watkins & Thompson. Above the entrance are two stained glass windows depicting the emblem of the Masonic order. A metal roof covering has been added to protect the original wooden roof from heavy snowfall.</p><br>
<p>On March 9, 1990, the building was added to the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>Salubria Lodge No. 31, an active lodge in the 9th Masonic District of the Grand Lodge of Idaho, still meets in the building.</p><br>
<p>The lodge derives its name from the former town of Salubria, where it originated in 1893.</p><br>
<p>Grace Episcopal Church is an historic Episcopal church building located at 405 2nd Avenue, North East, in Jamestown, Stutsman County, North Dakota. Designed in the Late Gothic Revival style of architecture by British-born Fargo architect George Hancock, it was built 1884 of local fieldstone exterior walls and a wooden roof. Early parish records contain several assertions that George Hancock modeled the church after Christ Episcopal Church  which had been opened in 1881, but if he did, it was only in a very general, not specific way. Hancocks later work St. Stephens Episcopal Church  is much more closely related to Christ Church, Medway. On December 3, 1992, Grace Episcopal Church was added to the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>Current status</h2><br>
<p>Grace Episcopal Church is still an active parish in the Episcopal Diocese of North Dakota. The current rector is the Rev. Robert B. Hoekstra.</p><br>
<p>The Harnsberger Octagonal Barn, also known the Mt. Meridian Octagonal Barn, is located near Grottoes, Virginia. Built about 1867, the barn is possibly the only example of such a barn in Virginia, as the building style was more popular in the expanding midwestern United States in the immediate post-American Civil War era than in economically depressed Virginia. The octagonal style was popularized in 1853 by A Home For All, or the Gravel Wall and Octagon Mode of Building by Orson Squire Fowler.</p><br>
<p>The barn was built for Robert Samuel Harnsberger in 1867, following the example of his brother Stephen, who had built an octagonal house nearby in 1856. The barn represents an adaptation of the octagonal concept to the site, incorporating elements of traditional bank barns. The barn&#39;s builders encountered difficulty in assembling and fitting the barn, requiring the assistance of other carpenters.</p><br>
<p>The wood frame barn retains the traditional bank barn functions of a central wagon floor with hay lofts to either side, rather than a functional distinction between each of the sides as suggested by Fowler. As with a bank barn, accommodations for cattle are on the lower level, with the stalls arranged in a line rather than radially.</p><br>
<p>The barn was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on July 8, 1982.</p><br>
<p>Grace Episcopal Church is an historic Episcopal church building located at 152 Ramsey Street, West in Pembina, Pembina County, North Dakota. Designed in the Late Gothic Revival style of architecture by Fargo architect George Hancock, it was built in 1886. Unlike all the other churches in the Episcopal Churches of North Dakota Multiple Property Submission , it was built of brick instead of local fieldstone. The brick is yellow and was made locally by the Pembina Brick Company. The church building is one of only three extant building built of this brick. In 1937 Grace Church closed due to declining attendance and the building was sold by the Episcopal Diocese of North Dakota to the local Methodist congregation. Today it is the Pembina Pioneer Memorial United Methodist Church. On September 2, 1994, the building was added to the National Register of Historic Places as Grace Episcopal Church.</p><br>
<h2>Current use</h2><br>
<p>Pembina Pioneer Memorial United Methodist Church is still active. Its pastor is the Rev. Gary H. Johnson.</p><br>
<p>Embassy Building No. 10 is a historic building located at 3149 16th Street NW Washington, D.C., in the Columbia Heights neighborhood. Although as the name implies it was built to be a foreign mission, it was never in fact used as such; instead, it served as the central office of the District&#39;s municipal parks department for nearly seventy years.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Renaissance Revival building was designed in 1928 by George Oakley Totten Jr., and constructed by Mary Foote Henderson in 1929–1930 as part of her attempt to create a new Embassy Row "in the vicinity of Meridian Hill Park and Mount Pleasant".</p><br>
<p>She died in 1931 and, perhaps due to "the onset of the Depression as well as the failure of Henderson&#39;s heirs to pursue her business interests", the building never became an embassy. It was vacant for several years, then became a residence and boarding house during the late Depression.</p><br>
<p>In 1940, Embassy Building No. 10 became the headquarters of what is now the District of Columbia Department of Parks and Recreation.</p><br>
<p>The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on November 6, 1986. Although the ways in which the building responds to its site make up a part of its National Register nomination &mdash; "The symmetry of the facade belies the actual form and plan, designed for the wedge-shaped lot situated in the acute angle formed by the intersection of Lament and Sixteenth Streets, N.W." &mdash; the context has been lost: at some point, the section of Lamont Street adjacent to the building was closed, consolidated with the property immediately to the north, and turned into a parking lot and playground.</p><br>
<p>In 2012, the DC DPR moved "its central office operations…to two new location"s in order to "provid a better working environment for DPR employees, and a place to better serve customers" than was possible in the aging building. In 2020, the Junior Achievement of Greater Washington organization, which operates the Powell Recreation Center in Embassy Building No. 10, sought approval from the Historic Preservation Review Board to add an auditorium clad in limestone.</p><br>
<p>The First Broiler House, also known as Mrs. Wilmer Steele&#39;s Broiler House, is preserved at the University of Delaware Agricultural Experiment Station near Georgetown, Delaware as an example of a chicken house that was widely used to raise broiler chickens in Delaware during the 1920s. An example of an individual-colony house, the 16 ft square wood-frame building housed 500 chickens. It was provided with a coal stove.</p><br>
<p>Cecile Steele of Ocean View, Delaware was the first person in Delaware to raise chickens specifically for meat production, separately from her laying flock that was primarily meant to produce eggs. The wife of a Coast Guardsman stationed at the Bethany Beach Lifesaving Station, she raised her first flock of 500 in 1923, selling 387 two-pound chickens for 67 cents per pound. She ordered 50, but was accidentally shipped 500 which she decided to keep and sell at a discount. Her business model was profitable. In 1924 she doubled to 1,000 chickens, and in 1925 leaped to 10,000. By 1973, 50 years later, the industry processed 3 billion chickens per year.</p><br>
<p>The broiler house has been moved from its original site at the Steele farm and has been repaired. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on July 3, 1974.</p><br>
<p>The Indian River Life-Saving Station was established at Rehoboth Beach, Delaware in 1876 to rescue mariners shipwrecked along the Delaware coast, as part of the United States Life-Saving Service. It was designed in 1874 as a -story board-and-batten frame structure with decorative brackets supporting overhanging eaves in a version of the Queen Anne style. It sheltered a surfboat which could be quickly rolled out through double doors facing the beach and down a ramp to the water. The main station house remains of what was once a complex that included a barn, stable, meat house, feed house and privy. An auxiliary boathouse stood about a mile to the south. The original plans for the station survive.</p><br>
<p>The facility was moved back from the water&#39;s edge in 1877 due to coastal erosion. In 1915, the United States Life-Saving Service merged with the Revenue Cutter Service to form the United States Coast Guard. The station was converted to a Coast Guard station and occupied until the Ash Wednesday Storm of 1962, which left it partially buried in sand. A new Coast Guard station was built nearby in 1964. The original station was restored by the Delaware Seashore Preservation Foundation, and is now operated as the Indian River Life-Saving Station Museum by Delaware State Parks, as part of Delaware Seashore State Park.</p><br>
<p>The Indian River Life Saving Service Station was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on September 29, 1976.</p><br>
<p>The Eagle Tavern is one of the earliest surviving structures in Watkinsville, Oconee County, Georgia, United States. The Eagle Tavern was built circa 1801 but possibly as early as 1794. In the early part of the 19th century, the city of Watkinsville, Georgia was on the frontier of Creek and Cherokee Indian Territories. The site of the tavern may also have been the site of Fort Edwards, a gathering place for settlers seeking protection from attack by the Creek and Cherokee. The building housed a hotel until about 1930. The tavern was added to the National Register of Historic Places on 13 May 1970.</p><br>
<p>Mount Olive Cumberland Presbyterian Church is one of the oldest existing congregations west of the Mississippi River and its historic church building at the junction of Izard County Roads 12 and 18 in Mount Olive, Arkansas is listed with the National Register of Historic Places. The pastor is Rev. Christopher S. Anderson.</p><br>
<p>The building was constructed in 1916 largely through donations from the descendants of Jehoiada and Daniel Jeffery. They had founded the church congregation in 1826 as the White River Cumberland Presbyterian Church. The Mount Olive Male and Female Academy thrived nearby. The church building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2004.</p><br>
<p>The Collins Potato House is located near Laurel, Delaware, one of the last surviving examples of its building type. The southern part of Delaware saw a sweet potato boom from 1900 until blight struck in the 1940s. In order to store the crops, potato houses were built. The Collins house was the first to be built in the Little Creek Hundred region and dates to the late 19th century. Measuring 19 ft by 30 ft, the two-story balloon-frame structure consists of a central aisle flanked by bins on both levels. There are five bins per side. An interior stair provides access to the first floor. Freeze protection was provided by a coal stove. Wall construction is in three layers, with interior planking, sheathing and weatherboard siding. The front elevation on the west side features door at the first and second floors, while the rear elevation has a door at the first floor and a window at the second. Small windows are in both gables for ventilation.</p><br>
<p>The Collins Potato House was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on November 15, 1990.</p><br>
<p>The Crawford County Jail, also known as Old Crawford County Jail, located in Knoxville, Georgia, is one of the oldest jails in Georgia. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on May 18, 1989. It is now a museum for the annual Georgia JugFest and Old Knoxville Days festival held in Knoxville every third Saturday in May. It contains a history of the jail, including how the jail looked when it was still in use. The current jail is nearby on the same road.</p><br>

<p>The Islesford Historical Museum and Blue Duck Ships&#39; Store are related historical exhibits on Little Cranberry Island in Maine, USA, within the boundaries of Acadia National Park.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Blue Duck Ships Store was a ships chandlery, built about 1850 by Edwin Hadlock. The chandlery operated until about 1875, when it became a store, the Isleford Market, then apartments after 1912. Some time later, George Hadlock, Edwins son, sold the building to William Otis Sawtelle, a physics professor at Haverford College who spent his summers on the island. Sawtelle was a founder of the Islesford Historical Society, and after 1919 he maintained the store as the headquarters for the society and as a museum. Sawtelle named the store the "Blue Duck Ships Store". In 1927, a new facility was built to be a museum. The Islesford Historical Museum took over the Blue Duck collection, which included ships&#39; manifests, historical artifacts and genealogical information. Such collections and purpose-built museums were unusual at the time and the Islesford Historical Museum represents one of the first of its kind.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Blue Duck Ships Store is a 1½ story frame building measuring about 28.5 ft by 49 ft, resting on a rubble stone foundation. The plain weatherboarded structure sits at the waters edge, with an irregular pattern of windows, most of which were replaced in the early 20th century. Doors are placed in the sides and ends, some crowned with a simple pediment. The Blue Duck was leased to Islesford Boatworks, a non-profit organization that teaches traditional wooden boatbuilding to all ages and works to serve the island, its people, and the working waterfront.</p><br>
<p>The Islesford Historical Museum is a 1½ story fireproof brick structure built in 1927 in the Georgian Colonial Revival style. The building is arranged with a 60 ft by 30 ft main block and a 30 ft by 25 ft subsidiary block, both with hipped roofs. The main block has two prominent interior chimneys and a formal entrance with a semicircular dormer-fanlight. The museum rests on a quarry-faced random ashlar stone base.</p><br>
<p>The buildings, the Sawtelle gravesite and 1.3 acre were acquired by the National Park Service in 1948. The property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on September 30, 1980.</p><br>

<h2>History and architectural features</h2><br>
<p>This district includes eleven contributing buildings and thirteen contributing sites, on thirteen contiguous properties, including eight farmsteads and Whites Church (or Marks German Reformed Church). The farmsteads are Schwartz Farm, Shaeffer Farm, Trostle Farm, Lewis Bushman Farm, Diener Farm, Conover Farm, Lightner Farm, and Beitler Farm. The properties served as hospitals during the American Civil War for the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 5th, 6th, and 12th corps of the Army of the Potomac in the weeks immediately following July 1863s Battle of Gettysburg.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000.</p><br>
<p>The Ashland Historic District encompasses the historic central core of Ashland, Virginia, now a suburb of nearby Richmond. The town developed in the mid-19th century as a summer resort area, but in the late 19th and early 20th century it grew more significantly as a streetcar suburb of its larger neighbor. Its central core had its biggest building boom between about 1875 and 1920, and contains a large assortment of high-quality residences in Colonial Revival, Queen Anne, and other styles. The district is centered on the junction of Center Street with Virginia State Route 54, and has a roughly cruciform shape covering 159 acre.</p><br>
<p>The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<p>The Old Brick House, also known as Biloxi Garden Center, was built around 1850 as a modest family home by John Henley, a former sheriff and mayor of Biloxi. The house is situated on Back Bay in Biloxi, Mississippi. The home was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1973, and was designated a Mississippi Landmark in 1987. Although heavily damaged by Hurricane Katrina in 2005, the house was restored and re-dedicated in 2011.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The house was built on property acquired by Jean Baptiste Carquotte from the Spanish government as a land grant in 1784.</p><br>
<p>When John Henley built the house, he used heart-pine lumber for the flooring and three layers of brick in the outer walls. The stout, brick construction allowed the structure to survive through 150 years of hurricanes and storm surges. The house is one of the oldest buildings in Biloxi.</p><br>
<p>The house had become neglected in the mid-1950s, but was salvaged by Biloxi Garden Clubs and was acquired by the City of Biloxi to serve as a museum and a venue for receptions and public gatherings.</p><br>
<p>In 2005, the house was severely damaged by Hurricane Katrina when it was inundated with seven feet (2.1 m) of water from the storm surge. But, the structure survived and was restored to be historically accurate. As of 2011, the Old Brick House was one of only two antebellum homes still standing in Biloxi.</p><br>

<p>The date of the Spanish Land Grant and spelling of the Carquotte name was not consistent in all references.</p><br>
<p>The Historic Roman Catholic Properties in Mobile Multiple Property Submission is a multiple property submission of Roman Catholic properties in Mobile, Alabama, that were listed together on the National Register of Historic Places. The submission covers cemetery, church, convent and other religious properties that are historically or architecturally significant.</p><br>
<p>Mobile was founded as the first capital of the French colony of Louisiana under the direction of Pierre Le Moyne dIberville. It was established by his brother, Jean-Baptiste Le Moyne, Sieur de Bienville, in 1702 to gain control over Frances Louisiana claims. Mobile&#39;s Roman Catholic parish was established on July 20, 1703, by Jean-Baptiste de la Croix de Chevrières de Saint-Vallier, as a parish of the Diocese of Quebec. It was the first Catholic parish established on the Gulf Coast of the United States.</p><br>
<p>The Diocese of Mobile was established in 1829, with Michael Portier appointed its first bishop. During his thirty-year tenure he began many of the projects that led to what remains of Mobile&#39;s Catholic architectural and historical legacy. He was responsible for the Cathedral Basilica of the Immaculate Conception that still stands today and his own house. He also founded Spring Hill College, the oldest Catholic college in the Southeastern United States and the third-oldest Jesuit college in the United States. Catholicism remained the dominant form of Christianity in Mobile until the American Civil War. Protestantism grew in the city from then until World War II, when more than 89,000 people, mostly Protestant, moved into the city to work for war effort industries. From that point on Catholicism was a minority, although still sizable, denomination. The structures listed in this multiple property submission reflect the best-preserved reminders of this Catholic legacy.</p><br>
<p>The Bass Island Brownstone Company Quarry, also known as the Basswood Island Quarry, on Basswood Island in Lake Superior was operational from 1868 to 1893. The brownstone was first used for construction of the second Milwaukee County Courthouse, now demolished. The quarry, now filled with water, is about 200 ft long and about 25 ft deep. Blocks of sandstone remain, together with the rusting remains of quarrying machinery. All company buildings and workers&#39; cabins have disappeared.</p><br>
<p>Other buildings built with the quarrys product include the old Chicago Tribune building, the Landmark Chapel at the Forest Home Cemetery and St. Pauls Episcopal Church, both in Milwaukee. The quarry was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on March 29, 1978.</p><br>
<p>The Rosenwald School Building Fund and Associated Buildings Multiple Property Submission is a multiple property submission of historic Rosenwald Schools in Alabama that were listed together on the National Register of Historic Places. The schools are historically significant for their contribution to African American education in the state. They were designed and partially built with funds from the Rosenwald Fund during the period spanning from 1913 to 1937. The fund provided one-third of the construction money, with the community and state splitting the remainder.</p><br>
<p>The first 80 Rosenwald Schools were built in Alabama, with the first to be completed in Loachapoka in 1913. The Rosenwald Program was then expanded to 14 other southeastern states after the first 80 in Alabama. By the end of the program, a total of 387 schools, 7 teacher&#39;s houses, and several vocational buildings had been completed within the state. Following desegregation many of the former schools were scavenged for building materials, converted to other uses, or demolished by neglect. At the time of the multiple property listing, the commission charged with documenting and nominating the schools had only located seven surviving Rosenwald-funded structures, with six eligible to be listed under the National Register of Historic Places criteria.</p><br>
<p>The Crump Theatre is located in downtown Columbus, Indiana, at 425 Third Street, is part of the Columbus Historic District, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The theatre is owned by the Columbus Capital Foundation and periodically used as an event space for a variety of acts, including musicians, comedians, and paranormal investigators.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The theatre came into being in 1889 when Charles Franklin Sparrell was hired by John Smith Crump to add a theatre to an existing building at this site. Alden Meranda completed a renovation in 1941 that transformed the building into its current Art Deco appearance. In 2013 a theatre consulting firm, Jones & Phillips, was hired by the Columbus Redevelopment Commission to complete a study on the viability of the theatre.</p><br>
<h3>Theatre beginnings, 1871-1889</h3><br>
<p>In 1871, Columbus, Indiana attorney Colonel John A. Keith contracted for a two-story building to be erected on the south side of Third Street between Washington and Franklin streets (today, 425 Third Street). This building was known as Keiths Arcade, but it is not known who the architect and builder were. Keiths Arcade was called an "arcade" building because of its architectural design, and had nothing to do with any amusement descriptive qualities of the word. A series of arches graced the facade, wrapping around doors and windows. Three arches adorned the top, and within the three arches, the words, "Keiths Arcade A.D. 1871", were incorporated into the upper part of each arch. From 1871 to 1889, merchants and businessmen from all walks of life rented out space in Keiths Arcade. Todays Republic newspaper got its start there in April, 1872. During the 18 years the building functioned as Keiths Arcade, it was home to restaurants, a plumbing supply store, law offices, and a clothing shop, to name a few.</p><br>
<p>On 3 December 1888, Col. John Keith was placed in the Indianapolis Insane Asylum. At the time, Keith owed Frank T. Crump $28,000. In order to satisfy the debt, David Stobo, Keiths guardian as assigned by the court, had most, if not all, of Col. Keiths property sold at auction. The auction took place in the north room of the Courthouse, 28 January 1889. John Smith Crump, younger brother of Frank, acquired the Keith&#39;s Arcade property for $6,000.</p><br>
<h3>Crump&#39;s New Theatre, 1889 - 1920</h3><br>
<p>Within weeks after the purchase, John Crump hired architect Charles Sparrell to draw up plans and specifications for a theater building to be constructed and adjoin the south side of the Keiths Arcade building. In March, 1889, Crump and Sparrell traveled to Madison, Indiana to tour Louis Holwagers Grand Opera House. Crump was so impressed with this theatre that he had Sparrell design his new theater based on this design. On 22 April 1889, the contracting firm of Keller and Brockman was awarded the construction job.</p><br>
<p>Sparrell and Crump worked together in the selection of nationally renowned theatrical firms that specialized in interior theater design and scenic painting. In June, the Sosman & Landis Scene Painting Studio, Chicago, Illinois, was chosen to create scenic backdrops for the theatre. Thomas G. Moses was hired to paint the drop curtain. C. S. King was selected to build the necessary stage mechanisms needed to move the large, scenic panoramas and backdrops on and off stage. These artists were noted in the 1880s as being among the "finest in the country." Also, C. S. King had worked on some of the finest opera houses in the United States, Canada, and Mexico.</p><br>
<p>During construction of the theater auditorium, the old Keiths Arcade portion of the building was remodeled. The section underneath the middle arch became the entrance way to the theater. Ground floor rooms on either side of the entrance way were rented out for business purposes. Rooms on the second floor were rented out to day boarders. The words, Keiths, Arcade, A. D. 1871, embedded within each arch at the top of the building, were removed and replaced with "Crumps New Theatre." Crumps New Theatre opened October 30, 1889 with the Norcross Opera Company, Chicago performing the play, "The Pretty Persian," by well known French composer Charles Lecocq.</p><br>
<h4>Community reception</h4><br>
<p>The opening of Crumps New Theater was a milestone in Columbus performing arts history. After several attempts to establish a venue for the performing arts in the town, Crump&#39;s New Theatre succeeded where its predecessors had failed. It was the first, stand alone opera house in Columbus. It was also the first theater designed around the needs and demands of the traveling shows of the day. The size of the stage could accommodate the large, hand painted scenes that were tailored specifically to a particular play, and carried by the more prestigious national troupes touring the country.</p><br>
<p>Crumps New Theatre functioned as an opera house and Vaudeville theatre for a period of about 30 years and resisted the move to become a Nickelodeon theatre. During the peak of Columbus fascination with "moving pictures" (1908), there were six theaters in downtown Columbus (Crump included), with five showing motion pictures.</p><br>
<h4>1903 redecoration</h4><br>
<p>The Theatre was redecorated over the summer months of 1903. Henry Ranje, who had done some fresco work at the Bartholomew County Courthouse, was hired to oversee the redecorating. Bink Schnur created a new drop curtain which replaced the old one which had scenes of Sicily, Italy. Walter Doup, a Columbus bill poster, and stage mechanic at the theater, updated the mechanics of moving the large sceneries on and off stage. The auditorium was also repainted using green, rose, and gold colors.</p><br>
<h4>First motion pictures</h4><br>
<p>The first motion pictures shown at the Theatre occurred on September 12, 1905 with the screening of "The World In Motion," followed by a short movie that was filmed in Columbus. The movie showed workers leaving the Reeves and Company factory and the Columbus Fire Department driving up Washington Street. The official date recognized by Crump Theatre personnel at the time, however, was Thanksgiving Day, 26 November 1914, with the showing of "When Broadway Was A Trail," and "In The Lion&#39;s Den".</p><br>
<p>By the end of the 1910s moving pictures dominated the amusement offerings at the Crump. Eventually a second projector was needed so that longer motion pictures could be shown, which eventually required a substantial renovation in order to accommodate a larger projection room. However, before John Crump could realize his plan to enlarge the Theatre he died in 1920 at the age of 76.</p><br>
<h3>The Hege and Company remodel, 1920 - 1934</h3><br>
<p>The first remodel of the Crump Theatre was put in motion less than two weeks after the death of John Crump. With the theater passing to his children, they elected to stay true to their father&#39;s wish. On 10 February 1920, plans were hand carried to Indianapolis for approval by the State Board. On 2 April 1920, the contracting firm of Hege and Company were awarded the job with their bid of $35,000 (the company also acted as architect for this remodel). The Opera House Flats, a two apartment layout situated on the second floor, were vacated of all tenants, and the Clarence Howe Barber Shop and Columbus Realty businesses relocated to other parts of town. Work on the remodel began ten days later.</p><br>
<p>The 1920 remodel was a massive undertaking. Everything from the stage forward, to the Third Street sidewalk, was gutted (the east and west exterior brick walls were left untouched). The facade of the old Keiths Arcade building was removed entirely. What had originally been two separate and unique buildings (Keiths Arcade and the actual theater auditorium adjoining at the rear) became one. Heavier, balcony support beams replaced the posts inside the ground floor auditorium so that a second movie projector could be used. A mezzanine on the second floor was added. The box office was relocated to the front center of the ground floor mezzanine, and two new exits were installed on either side of the box office. The entire ground floor was ripped out and replaced with poured concrete. New carpeting and seats were installed. The mens and womens washrooms remained on the ground floor.</p><br>
<p>Keeping in tune with the latest and greatest in movie equipment, in September, two new movie projectors and a new screen, a Minusa measuring 18 x 14, were installed.</p><br>
<p>During this first remodel, the theater was closed for five months. On Sunday, 3 October 1920, the Crump Theatre held an open house for public inspection. More than 3,000 people turned out to see the changes. According to reports in the Evening Republican newspaper, the Crump could now accommodate 2,000 people (more realistically, between 1,200 and 1,400 persons). With the addition of the upper mezzanine, dances were also a possibility. The theater was officially reopened the following evening, 4 October 1920. A sold out house watched "One Hour Before Dawn," starring H. B. Warner and Anna Q. Nilsson and "An Eastern Westerner," starring the ever-popular Harold Lloyd.</p><br>
<h3>The Rembusch remodel, 1934 - 1935</h3><br>
<p>By 1929, the Crump Theatre was under lease to F. J. Rembusch Enterprises out of Shelbyville, Indiana. Frank Rembusch came to Columbus between 1918 and 1920 and bought the Crystal Theatre, 416 Fifth Street, renaming it the American. On 1 April 1923, he leased the Crump Theatre from the Crump heirs. With the advent of movies offering synchronized sound in 1929, in March of that same year, Rembusch installed new Moviephone equipment. The first all talking movies were shown at the Crump on 11 March 1929 ("Redskin," starring Richard Dix, and "That Party In Person," starring Eddie Cantor).</p><br>
<p>On 30 December 1931, the Crump heirs sold the theater to Louis Holwager of Madison, Indiana for $50,000. It was Holwagers Grand Opera House in Madison, Indiana, that John Crump had used as a model for his theater. There was talk of another major renovation, but nothing transpired. On 7 February 1934, the Crumps lease fell to Truman Rembuschs Syndicated Theaters (Frank Rembuschs son). One week after the lease change, the second renovation commenced. At the top of the list was a new sound system. Less than one week after the lease was signed, a new RCA high-fidelity sound system and a new Vocalite movie screen were installed. The old acoustic panels were removed and replaced with an acoustic tile product called Nu-wood.</p><br>
<p>This second remodel took five months. All of the work was contained to the interior, and the Crump remained open during most of the work. More comfortable seating was added on the main floor and balcony. All aisle seats now provided lighting. New carpeting was laid in the Lobby. The air conditioning system was updated. The bottom half of the interior Lobby walls were lined with black glass tiles incorporating aluminum frames for displaying one sheet movie posters. All remodel work was completed by 13 July 1934.</p><br>
<p>With the interior remodel work completed, Truman Rembusch turned his attention to the Third Street facade. Before any work commenced, however, on 6 November 1934, a contest was announced to change the name of the theater. Rules were simple: write the new name of the theater on a piece of paper and turn it in to management. First Place winner would be paid $25. Second Place winner would receive $15. Third and Fourth Place winners would receive $5. More than one thousand entries were submitted.</p><br>
<p>On 14 November 1934, the winners of the contest were announced to a packed auditorium. Louis Holwager, Truman Rembusch, and C. E. Rogers (Crump Theatre manager) were present, along with the panel of judges, consisting of Mrs. Philip R. Long, Mrs. Mary O’Bryan, Mayor H. Karl Volland, mayor-elect John L. Hosea and Walther E. Simmen. The winners were:</p><br>
<p>4th Prize - Mrs. Ralph Conrad for the name "Betsy Rogers."</p><br>
<p>3rd Prize - Tom Elrod for the name "Pioneer."</p><br>
<p>2nd Prize - Mrs. Jason Lacy for the name "Bartholo-di."</p><br>
<p>1st Prize - Mrs. Elsie Harris for the name "Von Ritz."</p><br>
<p>Although the Von Ritz was selected as the new name for the Crump Theatre, many in the community felt it wrong to cast aside the name of the theater&#39;s founder. Thus, the Von Ritz was never used.</p><br>
<p>In December 1934, new Sonotone equipment for hearing-impaired patrons was installed. A wide, vertical white stripe along the back of seats marked the designated seats.</p><br>
<p>Beginning in early 1935, work on the facade began. The old canopy was removed and replaced with a three piece marquee incorporating, for the first time, electric lights. Interior work also continued. A new mezzanine was located off the balcony. This new mezzanine included card tables.</p><br>
<p>Shortly after the completion of this second remodel, on 26 April 1935, Grammy Hall of Fame inductee Ethel Waters performed on the Crump Theatre stage.</p><br>
<h3>The Meranda remodel, 1941 - 1942</h3><br>
<p>In order to align the Crump Theatre more with the other two movie houses in Columbus (The Rio and the Mode), the third remodel of the Crump Theatre began in late 1941. The Rio, 416 Fifth Street, designed by architect Alden Meranda, and the Mode Theatre, 315 Washington Street, designed by architect William Pereira, both offered art-deco facades. Syndicated Theatres owner Truman Rembusch, who controlled all three theaters, felt it was time to give the Crump a new look. Comparing the looks of the Crump to either the Rio or the Mode gave one the impression that the Crump was terribly outdated. Even with the addition of the three piece marquee in 1935, the Third Street front still looked bland and old. It was time to bring the Crump Theatre up to contemporary standard.</p><br>
<p>Rembusch selected Meranda to do the work. Meranda had designed other theaters owned by Rembusch (the Artcraft, Frankin, Indiana and the Gibson, Batesville, Indiana). A vitrolite front was added. The three piece marquee was removed and replaced with a two piece marquee. Five foot tall letters spelling out Crump were vertically attached, and a single piece marquee running the entire length of the front was installed. Hundreds of individual, incandescent light bulbs pulsed on and off along the horizontal marquee, drawing attention to movie titles and showtimes. The marquee was also back-lit using fluorescent tube lighting. In addition to the exterior work, interior changes were also made. The ticket booth was relocated to the outside. Entrances and exits were placed on either side of the ticket booth. The main floor Lobby was enlarged. Main restrooms were relocated to the upstairs mezzanine. New water fountains were installed in the upper mezzanine. They were light activated and magically shot out a stream of water on bending over and breaking the beam of light.</p><br>
<h3>The Crump Theatre, 1942 - 2013</h3><br>
<p>The end of World War II brought about an incredible boom in industry, housing and disposable income. From 1940 to 1970, the population of Columbus more than doubled in size. Due to the boom and increased population, the Crump Theatre reached its peak in popularity during this time. This popularity began to wane toward the end of the 1960s. As more and more strip malls and shopping centers invaded the suburbs, fewer and fewer people felt the need to shop downtown. In 1968, Columbus Cinemas, a two-plex movie house, opened for business. This, coupled with us becoming more of a mobile society, attendance at the Crump Theatre began to drop off. By the 1980s, the Crump could no longer compete with other local and regional movie theaters.</p><br>
<p>On Sunday, 17 December 1979, a building adjoining the Crump caught fire. The Crump sustained approximately $30,000 in smoke damage. Many historic artifacts were destroyed. The Crump was now owned by MARGRAT, Inc., Truman Rembuschs children. In April 1987, MARGRAT requested a bid from Shultz Excavating Company for demolition of the theater building. News of possible demolition came as quite a shock to the community. In order to keep that from happening, Vernon Jewell bought the Crump. The theaters lease with Kerasotes Theaters was not affected.</p><br>
<p>It was during this time that John Dorenbush, Irwin Management, approached Jewell. Dorenbush said a group of Columbus capitalists were interested in buying the Crump.</p><br>
<p>In May 1994, the Columbus Capital Foundation bought the theater from Jewell and took ownership. After an initial walk through, it was understandable why MARGRAT had sought a bid for demolition. The structure was in terrible condition. Part of the roof had collapsed. The boiler was no longer in working condition.</p><br>
<p>In 1994/95, "Save The Crump", a grassroots coalition, was formed in order to raise money to help stabilize the building. The group raised $150,000, and an additional $25,000 matching grant from the Indiana Department of Natural Resources Division of Historic Preservation. Most of the funds went to infra-structure, including a new roof and repair of the boiler system. Funds from the DNR went toward repair of the vitrolite facade and the marquee. A new electrical substation was also added.</p><br>
<p>On 31 January 1995, Kerasotes&#39; lease expired. The company elected not to renew it. The theater continued to operate for another two years as a dollar venue. In 1997, with the closing of the Crump in order to tear off the new roof and put the new one on, it ceased operation as a movie theater.</p><br>
<h3>Recent performances and activity</h3><br>
<p>In 2008 John Mellencamp held a concert in the Crump for a documentary style television show. The last time he played a show at the Crump Theatre was in 1976. There have also been four New Years Eve events featuring local and regional acts put on with help from Columbus native Derick Howard, held at The Crump Theatre. Derick has also helped bring Ohio based band Ekoostik Hookah to the Crump four times and opened for them solo and with his band(Howard, Lewis & Lovins). Those and a few other shows that Derick has helped with have all averaged over 250 in attendance. Another show in recent years was Hoosier Dylan in 2009. It was a concert in which many musicians covered Bob Dylans music, and was produced by Tim Grimm.</p><br>
<p>Another tribute concert performed here was a concert called "Hoosier Springsteen." It was also organized by Tim Grimm, and consisted of many different artists covering the music of Bruce Springsteen. The Crump Theatre is still used for other reasons besides musical performances. There were three performances of the play Arsenic and Old Lace (play) from February 12 to 14, 2010.</p><br>
<p>The Crump Theatre was investigated by Hoosier Paranormal Research in 2006. While there, they captured several instances of Electronic voice phenomenon. It was later discovered that one of the businesses next door to the Crump Theatre was a mortuary. In a later renovation of the theater the area that used to be the mortuary was merged into the theater. It was documented that the EVPs were recorded in this area of the Crump Theatre. The Crump Theatre also held a Paranormal Fright Fest on February 20, 2010.</p><br>
<p>The Crump is not in current use and the door is locked.</p><br>
<h2>The Crump Theatre, Feasibility Studies</h2><br>
<p>There have been ten feasibility studies on the Crump Theatre. The first study dates back to the early 1980s when the newly formed Heritage Fund was looking for a project orientation to build an endowment. Upon Mayor Kristen Brown taking office in 2012, in April 2012, she organized the Crump Theatre Six Sigma Team to tie in with her ADVANCE COLUMBUS goals for the city. The Six Sigma Teams objective was to study the prior feasibility studies, determine why they failed, and explore options for Crump Theatre sustainability. This marked the first time such a comprehensive analysis was undertaken. When the teams studies were completed, based upon their recommendation, an outside firm was hired. In May, 2013, the Columbus Redevelopment Commission hired Jones & Phillips Associates, Lafayette, Indiana, to perform the tenth feasibility study.</p><br>
<h2>The Crump Theatre, 2014 -</h2><br>
<p>After completing their nine-month feasibility study, on 24 March 2014, Van and Linda Phillips, Jones and Phillips Associates, Lafayette, Indiana, presented their Crump Theatre findings to the Columbus Redevelopment Commission. The public was invited. During his presentation, Van Phillips pointed out several structural deficiencies that would warrant keeping the Crump Theatre closed. On 1 April 2014, Fire Chief Dave Allmon announced he would not allow the theater to reopen.</p><br>
<p>In the Jones & Phillips presentation, five options were offered. The options range from remodeling the theater to accommodate 300 - 350 people, to demolition of the historic structure (keeping only the vitrolite facade and marquee) and replacing it with a much larger auditorium that could seat 1,000 or 1,200 people (Jones & Phillips Associates presentation can be found on the ). The Crump Theatre steering committee chose to pursue funding for a remodeling to accommodate 350 people. On 3 June 2014, the steering committee presented their recommendations and findings before the Columbus City Council with a price tag of $10.8 million. City Council consensus was the need to see a detailed business plan. On 21 July 2014, the steering committee requested of the Columbus Redevelopment Commission funding allocation for the business plan. Danielle, McClelland, Executive Director of the Buskirk-Chumley Theatre, Bloomington, Indiana, was selected as the source for the business plan. The Redevelopment Commission approved funding for the McClelland study and business plan with a lead time of 60 days. The Redevelopment Commission also approved additional funding in the amount of $500 for McClelland to present her plan before the public, Redevelopment Commission, and the City Council. Target date currently is the middle of September, 2014.</p><br>
<h3>Top 10 Most Endangered List</h3><br>
<p>In April 2019 the Crump was placed on Indiana Landmarks&#39; "Top 10 Most Endangered List." Since 2018 the theatre has been considered as a key part of the revitalization of the downtown area. With the designation the theatre has received statewide attention and a renewed interest.,</p><br>
<p>The Ruston USO is a historic building located at 212 North Trenton Street in Ruston, Louisiana.</p><br>
<p>The Spanish Colonial Revival building served as the United Service Organizations (USO) center from 1943 to 1945. It served mostly Navy officers who were stationed at Louisiana Tech University and were in the V-12 program. The USO was run by Mrs. Glasgow, and Mrs. Caroline Lewis also worked there, while Mr. Alex T. Hunt served as director. There were several dances held there for soldiers, and there was even a wedding. There was a ping-pong table, a piano, and a lot of chairs and desks so soldiers could write home. One Sunday evening, there was a door count of 1400 soldiers! The building was originally a movie theater that was converted into 2 storefronts. For 50 years after the closing of the USO, this building housed several shoe stores. In 1998, Kevin Hawkins of Hawkins Photography refurbished the building.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on February 11, 2011.</p><br>
<p>Rancho Estelle was the home of James Sublett, one of the first large-scale farmers in the Rio Grande valley of Texas, within what is now Big Bend National Park. Prior to founding the ranch, Sublett and his partner, Clyde Buttrill, farmed the bottomlands along the river in the area of what is now known as Castolon or La Harmonia, downstream from the later ranch. After the partnership with Buttrill broke up, Sublett bought four sections of land, initially calling it Grand Canyon Farms, and later Rancho Estelle.</p><br>
<p>Most of the existing structures are in ruins. The chief structures include the Sublett Farm House, a one-story adobe house with a cane and viga roof and a porch at the front. The house consists only of two rooms separated by a hall. Other structures include a small house for farm workers, similar to the Sublett house, a single-room adobe shed and a stone house for farm workers, with two apartments and a day room. The most substantial structure is the Dorgan Residence, a 1,200 ft&sup2; adobe and stone house of one story for Sublett&#39;s son-in-law. The interior features a large living room and three smaller rooms. The fireplace supports the roof, and is constructed of petrified wood.</p><br>
<p>Rancho Estelle was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on September 3, 1974.</p><br>
<p>Independence is an extinct town located in Pitkin County, Colorado, United States. It is located at an elevation of 10,913 ft 3.6 km directly west of Independence Pass. It was the first settlement established in the Roaring Fork Valley, after gold was struck in the vicinity on Independence Day, July 4, 1879, hence its name. Independence was served by three differently named post offices: Farwell from July 14, 1881, until July 3, 1882; Sparkill from February 1, 1882, until October 18, 1887; and Chipeta from April 20, 1899, until October 17, 1899. It has also been known historically as Mammoth City, Mount Hope, and Hunter&#39;s Pass.</p><br>
<p>In 1973, it was recognized as a historic district and listed on the National Register of Historic Places as Independence and Independence Mill Site.</p><br>
<p>Like other early settlements in the upper Roaring Fork Valley, it lost population over the course of the decade as Aspen emerged as the ideal location for commerce in the region, and then became the county seat. It was never able to overcome the severe winters that resulted from its location at a high elevation in the mountains, and at the end of the 19th century all but one of the remaining residents abandoned Independence en masse after a particularly heavy snowstorm to settle in Aspen.</p><br>
<p>It has been a ghost town since at least 1912. The remaining structures, all log cabins of various sizes, are now on land partially in White River National Forest. It is one of the few abandoned mining camps in the state where any buildings are left. In the late 20th century they were restored and interpretive materials added.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>Independence is located 13.5 mi east of Aspen along Colorado State Highway 82, at an elevation of 10,913 ft in the narrow, steep valley of the headwaters of the Roaring Fork River, a tributary of the Colorado River. Highway 82 passes by the townsite on the north wall of the valley. Independence Pass, at the Continental Divide, is four miles (6.4 km) to the east along the highway. The land is open and cleared, with some wooded portions on the comparatively level ground next to the river.</p><br>
<p>The land on the upper part of the slope is owned by the United States Forest Service, and is in the White River National Forest. The valley walls rise steeply to 12,703 ft Independence Mountain to the south in the Collegiate Peaks Wilderness and 13,301 ft Geissler Mountain in the Hunter–Fryingpan Wilderness to the north. The portion of Independence closer to the river is on private land owned by the Loughren Trust.</p><br>
<p>The remaining buildings are located in a 40 acre area along the north slope down to the river, on land owned by the Loughren Trust. A total of 26 remain in some form; of those, eight are intact and standing. All are log cabins of varying sizes, some without roofs. The rest have just left foundations.</p><br>
<p>The two are grouped roughly around two areas: the former townsite, and the former mill, roughly 0.3 mi apart. The townsite is an area of 17 acre with 19 buildings and 9 foundations; the mill has the remaining nine in a 4.3 acre area. A network of dirt paths allows visitors to walk around the site.</p><br>
<p>One cabin, towards the west end of the site, has been fully restored into a modern residence. It is called the Intern Cabin, since it housed one who lived at the site during the summers to maintain it and offer interpretive tours to visitors. Another large surviving cabin is believed to have served as one of the settlement&#39;s general stores. Further west, just below Highway 82, is the large site of the former Farwell Mill, with some supporting timbers still visible.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In 1879 prospectors began heading west from Leadville over the Divide and into the Roaring Fork Valley, drawn by reports of vast mineral deposits there. On July 4 of that year, miners at a small camp just below the Divide struck gold. They named it the Independence claim after the holiday, and soon a small tent city developed on the site. Reports reached Leadville, where some earlier prospectors had retreated following hostility from the Ute Native American tribe that had led Colorado governor Frederick Pitkin to issue an order barring any European settlers from crossing the Divide. Despite that edict, more settlers came to the growing community, the first European settlement in the valley. The miners worked out a primitive government called a mining district to protect not only their claims but those of others who had retreated to Leadville.</p><br>
<p>By the next year Independence had reached a population of 150, with some permanent buildings beginning to replace the original tents. Two other camps had been established further down the valley—Ute City just above the junction of the Roaring Fork and Castle Creek, and Ashcroft (originally Chloride), 10 miles (16 km) up Castle Creek from the junction. In 1881 a group of investors from Leadville called the Farwell Consolidated Mining Company bought up all the mining claims around the settlement, and established a stamping mill and sawmill. A stage road, the predecessor of Highway 82, was built from Leadville over the Divide. With the trip from that city to the other mining towns further down the valley taking 2–5 days, Independence also did business as an overnight stage stop.</p><br>
<p>Two years after the first gold was struck, Independence was a prosperous mining town of 500. It had seven restaurants, 24 retail establishments, three saloons and the Miner, a local newspaper. Over the next two years Farwell&#39;s mines produced $190,000 ($ in modern dollars) worth of gold.</p><br>
<p>Despite this economic supremacy, Independence lost its bid to be the seat of the newly created Pitkin County to the last of the original mining settlements in the valley, Ute City, now renamed Aspen after the abundance of that tree in the area. Independence&#39;s growth continued apace. In 1882 it had 1,500 residents, 47 businesses, five saloons, and two boarding houses.</p><br>
<p>That year would prove to be the peak of Independences boom times. Gold production dropped to just $2,000 ($ in modern dollars) in 1883 as most of the early veins were worked out. Miners and other residents began leaving Independence for Aspen. The county seat had more economic opportunities, since several mining companies supported by wealthy Eastern investors were in town and its mines produced silver, which the federal government was required to buy under the Sherman Silver Purchase Act to support the dollar. Aspen also had a milder climate—at Independences high elevation, the town was under heavy snow cover from late October to mid-May every year. (Even today, Highway 82 is closed during that time period, rendering Independence inaccessible by automobile for those months.)</p><br>
<p>By 1888 the towns population had declined to 150 inhabitants. Later that year the first railroads reached Aspen, greatly reducing the stage traffic over the Divide, another pillar of the local economy. Five years later, the end of Aspens boom, with the Sherman Acts repeal in response to the Panic of 1893, made it even more difficult for Independence to endure. Finally, in winter of 1899, seven severe snowstorms cut the town off from the outside world for long periods of time. Residents ran out of food and other supplies, and when another storm hit, one of the worst in the states history, all but one decided to evacuate. Tearing the 10 – siding planks off their houses, they used them as cross-country skis for the trip down the valley to Aspen. They humorously billed their escape as the "Hunter Pass Tenderfoot Snowshoe Club Race", with an entry fee of one ham sandwich each.</p><br>
<p>They never returned to Independence. Despite a brief resurgence in prospecting in 1907–08, by 1912 the village was completely abandoned. That year the Farwell Stamp Mill caught fire. Most of what remained was taken for use as building materials elsewhere. It and the other buildings were left to deteriorate, although some of the mining claims remained active at least up to the time of its listing on the National Register.</p><br>
<p>In its heavy winters, the site was still vulnerable to avalanches, particularly down the south side of the valley, which had been deforested to open up mines. In the 1930s the Colorado Women&#39;s Club organized a program which used Civilian Conservation Corps labor to replant the slopes and end the avalanche danger. It was the first preservation effort at Independence. Later in the century, after its listing on the Register, the Aspen Historical Society and other groups worked with the USA Forest Service to restore the log cabins, build the path network, add interpretive plaques and pay for an intern to live there during the summer months.</p><br>
<p>The 19th Century Spring Hill Neighborhood Thematic Resource is a multiple property submission of buildings that were listed together on the National Register of Historic Places. It covers eight properties in the Spring Hill neighborhood of Mobile, Alabama, all built during the mid-19th century.</p><br>
<p>They represent the most intact buildings to survive from the period when Spring Hill was a summer retreat town for wealthy Mobilians seeking to escape the heat and yellow fever epidemics of the city. Situated upon what was once the western hills outside Mobile, Spring Hill was gradually absorbed by the larger city and little remains today from its period as an independent community.</p><br>
<h2>Properties</h2><br>
<p>The Spanish Revival Residences in Mobile Multiple Property Submission is a multiple property submission of buildings that were listed together on the National Register of Historic Places as some of the best remaining examples in Mobile, Alabama of houses built in the Spanish Colonial Revival style. It covers ten properties.</p><br>
<p>Although best known in California and Florida, the style came early to Mobile and was eagerly embraced. The Latin colonial history of the city, as well as its semi-tropical climate, are thought by architectural scholars to have been a factor in this. The George Fearn House was the first example in 1904, quickly followed by the grand Gulf, Mobile and Ohio Passenger Terminal in 1907. Government Street Methodist Church (1906–1917) was another elaborate example. These grand buildings spurred the building of Spanish Revival houses of varying degrees of sophistication in neighborhoods all around the rapidly growing city during the 1920s. The Mobile Country Club, completed in 1927, and some of its surrounding mansions was built in the style. The middle-class Florence Place subdivision was originally solely composed of Spanish Revival houses.</p><br>
