<p>Hampshire Garden Apartment Buildings are historic structures located in the Petworth neighborhood in the Northwest quadrant of Washington, D.C. They were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1994. It is also a D.C. Historic Landmark.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The buildings of the Hampshire Garden Apartments compose the first fully developed garden apartment complex in the city, although only part of it was built.</p><br>
<p>The initial plan was for the complex to have 2,500 units, but the Great Depression brought construction to an end in 1929. The complex was built as middle-class housing and was an early example of cooperative ownership.</p><br>
<p>The nine buildings occupy an entire block and surround an oval-shaped common lawn. They are all two stories tall and follow a cross-shaped plan. Decorative elements in the Tudor revival style include half timbering, crenellated towers and entrances trimmed in carved stone. The exteriors of the buildings were designed by James E. Cooper and George T. Santmyers designed the interiors. Parks and Baxter served as the landscape architects.</p><br>
<p>Petworth Gardens, also known as the Webster Garden Apartments, are historic structures located in the Petworth neighborhood in the Northwest Quadrant of Washington, D.C. They were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2008.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Petworth Gardens were the first garden apartments built in Washington and an early example in the United States. The concept was inspired by the Garden city movement, and the Londonese type apartments made famous in a play about Pomander Walk, row-houses on a pedestrian street in London and a similar place which was being developed in New York.</p><br>
<p>The four brick buildings were developed in 1921 by Allan E. Walker based on the designs of Robert F. Beresford. They are simple in design and feature the eclectic revivalism of the day. The buildings themselves have hipped roofs with dormers, exposed rafter ends, wide eaves, arched entry surrounds and the occasional hexagonal bay. The narrow ends of the buildings face Webster Street, which gives the individual buildings a house-like feel to them and allows them to blend into the surrounding neighborhood.</p><br>
<p>Fort View Apartments, formerly known as Fort Stevens Place, is an historic structure located in the Brightwood neighborhood of Washington, D.C. The apartments were designed by architect George T. Santmyers in the modernist architectural style with some art deco elements. They overlook Fort Stevens Park. Completed in 1939, the apartments originally rented for between $47.50 and $73.50 per month.</p><br>
<p>Fort View Apartments were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2010. The 62-unit complex sat empty for a number of years until it was redeveloped for over $19million. The project was completed in 2011.</p><br>
<p>Nathaniel Parker Gage School is an historic structure located in the Bloomingdale neighborhood in the Northwest Quadrant of Washington, D.C. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2008. The building now houses condominiums.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Gage School was designed by Lemuel W. Norris in the high Colonial Revival style. It was built from 1904 to 1905. Snowden Ashford designed a complementary addition, which was built three years later. Students who came to this school lived in the LeDroit Park, Bloomingdale and the Eckington neighborhoods. It also served as community meeting and recreation facility.</p><br>
<h2>Parker Flats Condominiums</h2><br>
<p>The former Gage school property has since been converted into a private condominium development, called the "Parker Flats" Designed by Architect David Haresign, AIA, Parker Flats is ranked among the top 12 Residential Designs for 2008. According to the AIA, "this old DC public school building near LeDroit Park in Northwest Washington had sat empty for more than 30 years. Today, the historic landmark is the centerpiece of a 92-unit condominium project that has catalyzed neighborhood revitalization. In addition to the complete restoration of the Gage School, the development includes two new flanking buildings that are in keeping with the architecture of the area’s early 20th century apartment buildings and row houses."</p><br>
<p>The Mathias Sharp House is a historic residence in the city of Rockport in the southwestern part of the USA state of Indiana. Built in the third quarter of the nineteenth century, it was the center of a prominent murder trial not long after its construction, and it has been designated a historic site.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Mathias Sharp was one of Spencer County&#39;s leading early residents. At an uncertain time after the end of the War of 1812, Sharp moved from his native New Jersey to the vicinity of present-day Rockport, where he purchased wide lands along the Ohio River. Here, he became a prosperous farmer, and a prominent citizen of the county. By the mid-1850s, he had established himself firmly enough to be able to participate in the creation of a local high school, buying 2 of the original 176 shares of stock in a company formed to establish the school.</p><br>
<p>Sharps wife Mary died in 1854, and he remarried slightly less than two years later to a much younger woman, Catherine Shumaker. After about a decade of marriage, the couple had the present house constructed; according to family legend, he built it for her, despite the long gap between their marriage and its construction. Mathias did not long enjoy the new property; just two years after the house was built, he died of apparent poisoning. Just one year later, Catherine married a local merchant, who in turn died in early 1871, less than a year after their marriage. and a widely publicized trial resulted; it was more sensational than all other contemporary trials in the region, despite being moved to the courthouse at Cannelton in Perry County at Catherines request. Unable to pay for her defense, she gained the help of German-born Rockport businessman John Eigenmann. After she was acquitted of murder, he took possession of the house in exchange for his aid, and his family owned the property until 1913. In that year, it was purchased by Francis Posey, whose family owned it into the late twentieth century.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The Sharp House is a brick building constructed in the plan of a cross; except for the western (rear) arm, it is a two-story structure. The primary entrance is through a door on the western arm; it is accessed by means of a decorated porch and flanked by a transom and sidelights. Numerous windows pierce the walls of the western wing.</p><br>
<p>Despite the westward orientation of the main entrance, the house primarily looks to the east, due to its location atop a bluff on the western bank of the Ohio River. Massive elements, such as a bay window and a large pavilion, contribute to the elaborate appearance of the eastern facade. Other elements present on various sides of the house include decorative porches, stone windowsills, a detailed cornice, and entablatures above many windows. The interior features a grand entrance with a walnut stairway, a cathedral ceiling, eight fireplaces with iron or wooden mantels, oak fretwork, and extensive use of poplar.</p><br>
<h2>Preservation</h2><br>
<p>Despite its construction in the third quarter of the nineteenth century, the Mathias Sharp House was preserved unusually well by its owners into its second century. Its Italianate style and its location atop a river bluff have made it one of the city&#39;s leading buildings. In 1983, the house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places, qualifying because of its historically important architecture.</p><br>

<p>The Ekdahl–Goudreau Site is an archaeological site located just west of Seul Choix Point in Schoolcraft County, Michigan. It is also known as the Ekdahl–Goodreau Site or the Seul Choix site. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Ekdahl–Goudreau Site was discovered by George I. Quimby and James R. Getz in 1962. In 1965, Earl J. Prahl returned to the site to perform further excavation. Pottery artifacts date the site to the Late Woodland period.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Ekdahl–Goudreau Site is located above a small natural harbor among sloping beds of limestone along the shore of Lake Michigan. The harbor is about 200 feet long and slightly less in width, with a sloping sand beach on the landward side. The site is located a few hundred feet back from the harbor and 20 feet above the waterline, on a level sandy area.</p><br>
<p>Debris, consisting of pottery sherds, flints, and fragments of copper artifacts, were spread over an extensive area, likely by the wind.</p><br>
<p>The Gilbert–Sinton Historic District is an area in the southern portion of the Walnut Hills neighborhood of Cincinnati, Ohio, United States. A triangle measuring slightly more than 13 acre in area, the district&#39;s edges are generally Morris Street and Sinton Avenue  and the substantially larger Gilbert Avenue, which is concurrently designated as USA Route 22 and State Route 3.</p><br>
<p>Most of the district was created by a small group of real estate developers working in conjunction with each other. As a result, none of the present buildings were constructed before 1880, and little construction occurred after the turn of the 20th century. Additionally, the architecture is relatively homogenous: most of the buildings are large residences constructed as homes for the wealthy, and the architectural styles exhibited in the district (which is predominantly Queen Anne and Shingle style</p><br>
<p>In its early years, life in the present-day Gilbert–Sinton neighborhood was accompanied by plentiful amenities. When public transportation was initially established in the area, its first route ran along Sinton Avenue, and Cincinnatis first cable car line used Gilbert Avenue. Neighborhoods all along this pioneer cable car route expanded rapidly, and Gilbert–Sinton was no exception. Even today, the impact of these early public transportation routes is evident in the neighborhood. Residents did not need to travel for entertainment; besides being the districts southern boundary, Morris Street is the northern boundary of the large Eden Park.</p><br>
<p>In 1983, the Gilbert–Sinton neighborhood was named a historic district and listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Eighty-seven of the districts ninety buildings were counted as contributing properties. Among these properties are the Gilbert Row along Gilbert Avenue and a pair of buildings known as Madam Fredins Eden Park School and Neighboring Row House on Morris Street, which had already been listed on the National Register in 1982 and 1979 respectively.</p><br>
<p>The Observatory Historic District is a historic portion of the Hyde Park neighborhood of Cincinnati, Ohio, United States. Centered the Cincinnati Observatory and strung largely along a single street, the district has been named a historic district by both local and federal historic preservation agencies.</p><br>
<p>In 1873, the Cincinnati Observatory was erected within the boundaries of the present district, When the Cincinnati and Eastern Railway built a nearby rail line in 1882, housing construction began in earnest; the house at 3300 Observatory Place had already been built by Observatory director Ormond Stone in 1877, but most residences were built between 1886 and 1904. Given the forty-year span over which the houses were constructed, numerous architectural styles are found in the district, including the Neoclassical, the Second Empire, and various other Victorian styles. Despite its varying styles, the neighborhood presents a unified theme — all of the residences feature architectural detailing typical of late Victorian period, and their orientation unambiguously focuses attention on the Observatory: the result is a cohesive late nineteenth century neighborhood, easily distinguished from other streets in the neighborhood. The residences are comparable in size and shape, generally built as two-story single-family houses with similar setbacks, while the district is surrounded by open land rather than closely packed residential neighborhoods in order to reduce light pollution for the Observatory.</p><br>
<p>The district comprises ten contributing properties, plus the Observatory: six buildings that are critical to the district and four that are peripheral, all along or near Observatory Place. Cincinnati&#39;s planning office has named the neighborhood a historic district, and it was named a federal historic district by addition to the National Register of Historic Places in September 1978. The planning office has established provisions for continued preservation of the neighborhood including the district, including ensuring that any modifications be sympathetic (i.e. that the new construction minimize stylistic changes), preserving architectural details and windows, exercising care in painting and repointing walls, emphasizing the importance of constructing any new buildings with the same shape and height as existing buildings, and avoiding the addition of signage, new fences or walls, and additional pavement.</p><br>
<p>Madison and Woodburn Historic District is a registered historic district in Cincinnati, Ohio, listed in the National Register of Historic Places on June 30, 1983. It contains 19 contributing buildings.</p><br>
<p>Most of the historic architecture dates from the period 1880 to 1910, when the East Walnut Hills neighborhood was booming as a streetcar suburb.</p><br>
<p>The historic district is centered on the imposing neo-gothic Saint Francis De Sales Catholic Church at the intersection of Madison Road and Woodburn Avenue. This intersection and the business district along Woodburn Avenue are known locally as DeSales Corner.</p><br>
<p>Lytle Park Historic District is a historic district in Cincinnati, Ohio, United States. Roughly bounded by 3rd, 5th, Sycamore, Commercial Sq., and Butler Sts. in downtown Cincinnati, it centers on Lytle Park.</p><br>
<p>In 2014, Western & Southern Financial Group, owner of many properties within the Lytle Park Historic District asked the city to remove historic status of several historic buildings. The company hopes to demolish sections of the district in order to build new office space.</p><br>
<h2>Lytle Park</h2><br>
<p>Lytle Park has a storied history and represents one of the oldest areas in the city. Originally a hardwood forest, the park and its vicinity was the early site of Fort Washington, built in 1789 to protect early settlers of the Ohio River town from Indian attacks. Mathias Denman, Robert Patterson, John Filson and Israel Ludlow, met on the land of their new purchase, then called Losantiville (future Cincinnati). The land that would become Lytle Park was covered in trees just like most of the landscape. In 1789, the settlement of Losantiville was picked as the perfect place for a fort for the headquarters of the army during the Indian wars. Fort Washington was located right around where the Guilford School Building now stands (now the office of Eagle Realty Group). Fort Washington was designed by Major John Doughty. Directly to the east of the fort, Doughty also laid out a garden and a peach orchard with saplings from Fort Harmar in Marietta Ohio.</p><br>
<p>Dr. Richard Alison was the surgeon general for Fort Washington. In the 1790s he built a small house in the peach grove were Lytle Park now sits. His horse, Jack, received a bullet in the head during the battle of Fallen Timbers. That horse kept going carrying the good doctor and 3 wounded soldiers out of danger. The bullet remained imbedded in the horse’s skull, and afterwards when the Doctor would be riding his horse through Losantiville it was the favorite joke of his to remark "that his horse had had more in his head than some doctors he had known." Allison and Jack, the horse, retired from Army life in 1796. Dr. Alison practiced medicine in Cincinnati from his office on Broadway Street until his death in 1816 you can visit him in Wesley cemetery in Northside.</p><br>
<p>The site next served as the homestead of the prominent Lytle family. Surveyor General of the Northwest Territory William Lytle II built his house there in 1809, about ten years prior to the completion of the neighboring Martin Baum mansion (now the Taft Museum of Art). Lytle II was known for helping set up the first bank in Cincinnati called the Miami Exporting Company, along with other reputable men of the day. He was the first president of the Cincinnati Humane Society and one of the founders of the University of Cincinnati.</p><br>
<p>Martin Baum was the son of German immigrants. He fought with Mad Anthony Wayne at the battle of Fallen Timbers and was in charge of the medical supplies. In 1820 he built a home on Pike Street he named Belmont and what is now The Taft Museum of Art. He hired a German named Johannes Staubler, who designed the estates gardens. He and Staubler planted grapes, built arbors and planted many beautiful flower and shrubs. It was said to be the most beautiful garden in the entire city. Unfortunately, Martin Balm had to sell his home in 1826 because of financial problems.</p><br>
<p>Nicolas Longworth lived in the Baum house from 1829 until his death in 1863. He was a very wealthy lawyer, land owner and philanthropist. He had a keen interest in horticulture. Some of his vineyards covered the hill sides of Eden Park where he grew Catawba grapes to make sparkling Catawba wine. There is a story about how in 1855 Abraham Lincoln, who was a lawyer at the time, was in Cincinnati for the court case of McCormack vs Manny. The other lawyers froze Lincoln out and were very rude to him, so Lincoln took to taking walks around the city. One day he found himself on Pike Street at the estate of Belmont and he entered the beautiful garden. Longworth was out tending his garden as usual and Lincoln, thinking Longworth was just a gardener, asked if he could look around the gardens. Longworth himself gave Lincoln a tour and was very kind to him. Could this be the reason for the statue of Lincoln by sculptor George Gray Benard given to the city in 1917 by then Belmont resident, Charles P Taft?</p><br>
<p>The land was long known as Lytle Square was purchased by the City of Cincinnati in 1905 and Lytle Park was dedicated July 6, 1907.</p><br>
<p>The 11 ft bronze statue of Abraham Lincoln facing the entrance of the park was commissioned by the Charles P. Taft family. The unusually beardless statue is the only public monument to an individual ever produced by sculptor George Grey Barnard. The statue was dedicated amid great fanfare on March 31, 1917, by former president William Howard Taft. The adjacent USA Marine Corps Memorial is a granite boulder with bronze plaque and Marine emblem atop a globe. It was dedicated in 1921.</p><br>
<p>When an expressway was planned to be built downtown, Lytle Park faced its possible demise. Former Mayor Charles P. Taft went to Washington to fight for the right to restore buildings on top of the proposed tunnel and for the next six years groups of citizens from all over the city fought to preserve the area. In a non-competitive bid process, Western & Southern was eventually awarded the rights to develop an apartment building in exchange for a concrete slab to "cap" the portion of the new freeway trench running under the new structure, with public tax dollars used for the far bigger part under the park itself. When the Lytle Tunnel was completed in 1970, Lytle Park was the first park to be located above an interstate road.</p><br>
<p>Described as an "urban oasis", Lytle Park is known for its large seasonal flower beds of tulips and chrysanthemums in entirely urban surroundings.</p><br>
<h2>Properties contained within the historic district</h2><br>
<p>In 1976, the buildings around the park were declared a historic district, and the resulting Lytle Park Historic District was listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The district includes examples of the Georgian (Literary Club of Cincinnati), Greek Revival, and Italianate architectural styles, as it was an elite residential district from the early days of Cincinnati&#39;s history kept free of surrounding industry.</p><br>

<p>The Hoffner Historic District is a historic collection of buildings in the Northside neighborhood of Cincinnati, Ohio, United States. Built primarily at the end of the nineteenth century, the district has experienced few changes since it was built, and it has been named a historic site.</p><br>
<p>It is composed of twelve buildings in an area of 5 acre, of which eleven contribute to its historic nature. The buildings are four commercial buildings along Hamilton Avenue, including the Hoffner Lodge at the corner; six small private residences on Moline Court; and the Myron Johnson Lumber Company building behind them on Langland Street. The southern portion of the block was in the 1970s occupied by a non-contributing gas station, which has since been replaced with a new apartment complex.</p><br>
<p>The district qualified for the National Register because of its distinctive historic architecture; built largely in the Italianate style, the buildings demonstrate the influence of German cultural influences in their uniform construction methods. Several houses are located in the district, along with a train station, a Masonic lodge, and a former train station.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Northside, also known as "Cumminsville", was first owned by John Cleves Symmes as part of his Symmes Purchase. Included within the boundaries of Mill Creek Township, the land was bought by Ezekiel Hutchinson and David Cummings in 1811 and 1817 respectively; the two men owned what is now the neighborhoods western and eastern portions, respectively. Both lands were bought by wealthy landowner Jacob Hoffner in 1836; he turned them into some of the grounds of an estate of more than 400 acre. The estate failed to endure: Hoffner resided at the estate until his 1891 death, but the grounds were quickly subdivided and sold. Before long, the districts buildings had been constructed, and since the 1890s the neighborhood has experienced numerous changes: despite overwhelming technological advancement since the 1890s, the district retains its original appearance of a small village whose businesses can fulfill all needs of all residents within easy walking distance of their homes.</p><br>
<p>In 1978, the Hoffner Historic District was officially designated and listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>Peebles&#39; Corner Historic District is a registered historic district surrounding the intersection of East McMillan Street and Gilbert Avenue in the neighborhood of Walnut Hills in Cincinnati, Ohio, United States. It was listed in the National Register of Historic Places on November 14, 1985.</p><br>
<p>Beginning in 1883, the northeast corner was the site of the first branch of the Joseph R. Peebles Sons Co. grocery store. The name Peebles Corner caught on with the public when the store owners persuaded conductors to announce their store as a stop on Cincinnati streetcars. The intersection served (and still serves) as a key cross-town transit transfer point in the city. The intersection had previously been called Kays Corner, after the W. L. Kay & Co. grocers on the southeast corner. Peebles grocery store closed in 1931 at the height of the Great Depression.</p><br>
<p>The Orpheum and Paramount theatres once stood at Peebles Corner. Established in 1909, the Orpheum was the first playhouse built outside of the city center. The Opheum provided vaudeville entertainment then showed silent films. It was closed in 1952 and then later demolished. In the 1950s, businesses at Peebles Corner declined further as white flight blighted this urban core. In the 1960s, blight was exacerbated by the riots of 1967. The Peebles Corner Historic District was listed in the National Register of Historic Places on November 14, 1985. By 2009, several proposals had been aired for restoring Peebles Corner. One vision of the Walnut Hills Area Council is for the city to acquire 10 to 15 buildings, and selectively tear down half. Resources would be concentrated on the buildings scheduled to become anchors in the district.</p><br>

<p>The building was designed by architects and engineers in the Office of the Supervising Architect under Louis A. Simon, and built from 1928 to 1936. The cornerstone was laid in 1929 by Treasury Secretary Andrew W. Mellon. The building was opened for use in 1930, 16 months ahead of the planned completion date, making it the first Federal Triangle building to be opened.</p><br>
<p>The building was designated by Congress as a contributing structure to the Pennsylvania Avenue National Historic Site in 1966, and was subsequently listed in the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>

<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Arthur Brown, Jr. designed the building between 1928 and 1931, and construction was completed in 1934.</p><br>
<p>The building was constructed as part of the Federal Triangle development.</p><br>
<p>Although plans to redevelop the slum Murder Bay had existed for decades, Congress did not fund the purchase of land or construction of buildings in the area until 1926. In March 1927, the government proposed adding a second building to the east (between 12th and 13th Streets NW) for "Independent Offices" (the building&#39;s purpose was later changed to be the headquarters of the Interstate Commerce Commission, or ICC). Design work proceeded slowly. In April 1930, President Herbert Hoover proposed building a $2 million "Departmental Auditorium" to connect the Labor and ICC buildings.</p><br>
<p>President Hoover laid the cornerstones for the Labor/ICC building on December 15, 1932.</p><br>
<p>Freemasons trained in masonry assisted the President in laying the cornerstones.</p><br>
<p>Hoover personally oversaw the dedication of the cornerstone at the Labor end of the building.</p><br>
<p>His words were broadcast over loudspeaker to the workers at the ICC end of the structure, who placed the ICC cornerstone simultaneously at the President&#39;s instruction (becoming the first time in Washington history that a single person dedicated two cornerstones at the same time).</p><br>
<p>William Green, President of the American Federation of Labor (AFL), attended the laying of the cornerstone for the Labor building.</p><br>
<p>The building was designated by Congress as a contributing structure to the Pennsylvania Avenue National Historic Site in 1966, and it was subsequently listed in the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>Agency occupants</h2><br>
<p>The Department of Labor was the original occupant of the building. It vacated the building in 1979 when its employees moved to the Frances Perkins Building. The Customs Service took occupancy in 1979 and remained until the late 1990s, when it moved to the Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade Center. In 2002 EPA moved in, and the building was designated as the "EPA West" building.</p><br>
<p>In 2013 Congress designated the William Jefferson Clinton Federal Building as a complex including the EPA West Building, along with two adjacent buildings which were formerly known as the Interstate Commerce Commission Building (and subsequently designated as "EPA East") and the Ariel Rios Federal Building.</p><br>

<p>The Indianapolis City Market is a historic public market located in Indianapolis, Indiana. It was founded in 1821 and officially opened in its current facility in 1886. The market building is a one-story, rectangular brick building trimmed in limestone. It has a front gable center section flanked by square towers. While it was originally a farmers market, it is now a food hall. The site was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The current marketplace was originally two separate buildings called the Market House and Tomlinson Hall. The basement became known as the catacombs after a vendor tried to unsuccessfully convert it into a shopping mall. The marketplace was the first place to sell bananas in the city, which were introduced by Italian immigrants that imported the product. In 2021, the market received $270,000 in direct subsidies for its operations from the city.</p><br>
<p>On June 15, 2022, the city of Indianapolis announced plans to replace the east wing of the market that had been added in the 1980s with an 11-story, 60-unit apartment building that includes 8,000 ft&sup2; of office space and 22,000 ft&sup2; of retail space. The $175 million project will also include converting the office building at 151 N. Delaware Street into a 350-unit multi-family housing tower and would result in the block having the highest population density in the state of Indiana.</p><br>
<p>In March 2024, the market was closed to facilitate these renovations. Some tenants relocated, while others permanently closed. Tenants received two months worth of free rent before the closure.</p><br>

<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania is currently home to more than 150 round barns and similar (i.e., octagonal) structures, the construction of which has spanned the course of nearly 200 years. Found across fifty-four of the state&#39;s sixty-seven counties, three such buildings have existed in Centre County. Two of these were registered as places of historical significance: the Neff Round Barn, located west of Centre Hall, and the James Beck Round Barn, east of Centre Hall.</p><br>
<p>The Beck Round Barn was built in 1913 by Aaron Thomas, who built the Calvin Neff Round Barn in Potter Township in 1910. The Beck property stood in Penns Valley near East Penns Canal, 6.7 miles from Centre Hall on the north side of Route 192. Like the Neff, it was a true round barn, i.e., no angles featured in the construction of its (circumferential) perimeter. The Beck measured seventy feet in diameter and fifty feet in height, had a conical roof with four gabled dormers and a cupola. Its interior had two levels, a lower cattle floor and a mow floor above, and a central silo. The unpainted exterior was clad in vertical siding on the ground floor and horizontal on the upper.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>Local-area historian Harry Ward, board president of the Penns Valley Area Historical Museum Association, describes the barn&#39;s construction:</p><br>
<p>"The top story was supported by timbers radiating outward from a central silo and resting on three concentric sills, which were each laminated from eight boards bent into a curve after soaking in water. Tapered radial rafters supported the shingled roof, which featured four windowed dormers. The peak of the roof featured a cupola, which was later replaced by a modern ventilator, and the central silo was removed." The James Beck Round barn had, at one time, been in the ownership of Ward&#39;s great-grandparents.</p><br>

<p>The Janney Elementary School is a public elementary school from Pre-K through 5th grade. A part of the District of Columbia Public Schools, it enrolls approximately 740 students.</p><br>
<p>The building itself is noted as a historic school building, located at 4130 Albemarle Street, Northwest, Washington, D.C., in the Tenleytown neighborhood.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Janney Elementary School opened in 1925, as:</p><br>
<p>It was designed by Municipal Architect Albert L. Harris.</p><br>
<p>It was deemed significant for its architecture:</p><br>
<p>The Janney Elementary school is a three-story, three part brick building with a long central pavilion, two end wings and a rear auditorium/gymnasium. The central block, east wing and auditorium were all constructed in 1925; the west end wing, constructed in 1932, completed the building as planned. Designed by Municipal Architect Albert Harris, Janney Elementary School is executed in a Colonial Revival style characteristic of the architect, and built as the first of Harris’s “extensible” schools for the city. Harris developed the “extensible” school plan in an effort to implement the School Board’s aggressive Five Year Building Program of the 1920s that sought to provide new schools especially in the city’s developing neighborhoods. Janney Elementary School provides an excellent example of an extensible school as discussed in the sub-context, “The Municipal Architects Office, 1910–1930” as detailed and evaluated in the Multiple Property Document Public School Buildings of Washington, D.C., 1864–1960.</p><br>
<p>It was named for Bernard T. Janney, and it was deemed significant also in education:The Janney Elementary School was built in 1925 to relieve overcrowding at the older, 1882 Tenley School in Tenleytown. The school was named for Bernard T. Janney, a much-admired educator who served as supervisor of the Georgetown schools in the District of Columbia from 1874 until 1916. At the time of its construction, Tenleytown was experiencing a major population boom as the former 19th-century working-class village was being transformed into a residential neighborhood of the District of new single-family, detached dwellings that catered to the city’s burgeoning white professional class. Janney Elementary School, which still serves as a neighborhood elementary school, survives as an excellent illustration of the 20“’-century institutional growth and maturation of Tenleytown from rural village to urban neighborhood, as detailed in the sub-context “Institutional Growth of Tenleytown” in the Multiple Property Document, “Tenleytown in Washington, D.C.: Historic and Architectural Resources, 1770–1941.”</p><br>
<p>In 1926, principal Blanche Pulizzi provided space for Tenleytown&#39;s public library.</p><br>
<p>In 1932, the west wing was completed.</p><br>
<p>A renovation started in 2010, and was completed in 2011. A separate renovation took place in 2012, that expanded the west wing of the school, and added classrooms.</p><br>
<p>It was listed by the D.C. Historic Preservation Review Board, in 2009.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places, in 2010.</p><br>
<p>Its principal is Danielle Singh.</p><br>
