<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The land where the John Ayres House is situated was acquired by John Ayres parents, who had relocated from Philadelphia to Dauphin County, Pennsylvania, where they settled at the base of Peters Mountain in October 1773. At that time, the Ayres new property was bordered by Peters Mountain (north) and lands owned by William Clark (east), Samuel Cochrane (south), and Jane Givens (west). William Ayres&#39; property was subsequently bought by his son, John, who built a home there between 1800 and 1810.</p><br>
<h2>Architectural features</h2><br>
<p>The original section of the John Ayres House was built between 1800 and 1810, and expanded between 1815 and 1825. It is a large, -story, 5-bay, limestone dwelling in the Federal style.

<p>On December 8, 1819, John Ayres was forced to sell a portion of his property at a Sheriff&#39;s sale. The terms of this sale stipulated that Ayers and his family would continue to be able to live in and use their home, which was described at that time as a stone dwelling. John Ayres later went on to become a successful attorney; when he died on August 17, 1825, he was reportedly the last of the Revolutionary War Patriots living in the area.</p><br>

<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>As Harrisburgs manufacturing and industry was prosperous in the turn of the 20th century, the Harrisburg Board of School Directors took a look at "manual training programs" in Philadelphia and Washington, D.C. in 1904. The next year, Superintendent Lemuel O. Foose decided to implement a program by building a rear expansion to what was then The Harrisburg Lancasterian School (renamed DeWitt School) built in 1836, on the site of the current day Technical High School. The 1905 DeWitt School Building Shop expansion was a two-story, brick and iron frame structure, which was designed to hold heavy machinery for the curriculum. As this program became quickly successful, the DeWitt Schools front structure became obsolete. The front portion was razed and rebuilt in 1910, designed by prominent Harrisburg architect Charles Howard Lloyd and constructed as a four-story, steel frame and concrete Collegiate Gothic style building and renamed Harrisburg Technical High School, along with the previous 1905 rear shop expansion. It sits on a brownstone foundation, some of which was mined in Hummelstown, Pennsylvania. The front façade features tapestry, brick veneer and brownstone trim. By 1921, Lloyd drafted another expansion, but the city instead later opted on building two new schools, William Penn High School and John Harris High School, to facilitate the large student population growth. Following the two new schools, the building was sold to the city after its closure in 1926. Also designed by Charles Lloyd, the building was then converted for use as Harrisburg&#39;s City Hall in 1929. In the 1980s, after the relocation of City Hall, the building began yet another new purpose as apartment housing.</p><br>

News accounts at the time noted that the realtors most recent listing stated that the "15,852-square-foot property listed for $155K," and that the church was zoned commercial neighborhood, which provides the possibility of a number of uses for the property."</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Following the formation, by eight Harrisburg residents, of a Methodist Society in February 1889, that societys leadership founded a Sunday school on May 12 of that same year, and began providing spiritual education to 50 participants on a regular basis at a room above the Rifes & Reese&#39;s grocery store on Woodbine Street. To accommodate a growing congregation, the Rev. J.S. Wilcox spearheaded efforts to build a new chapel. The cornerstone for that new building was laid on May 11, 1890, and the building, officially known as the Curtin Heights Episcopal Church, was dedicated in December 1891 on the site of the long since demolished Camp Curtin, a major Union Army training camp during the American Civil War.</p><br>
<p>Two new wings were subsequently added to this chapel in 1893, but that expanded building lasted only a short time. Destroyed by fire on December 30, 1894, a new church was built by the congregation on the same site. Completed under the leadership of Dr. S. Fasick, its doors were open by July 1895; it was then formally dedicated on December 15 of that same year.</p><br>
<p>The churchs name was officially changed to Camp Curtin Memorial Methodist Episcopal Church by an amendment to the churchs charter in September 1914. Later that same year, church leaders approved an expansion of the church, raised $38,000 in support of that effort, and rededicated the church as a memorial to all Civil War soldiers.</p><br>
<p>Urged in 1915 by the church&#39;s pastor, Rev. Alvin S. Williams, to continue expanding the church to accommodate a growing congregation, $60,000 was raised, and ground was broken on December 3, 1916 for a new sanctuary and auditorium with seating for 700.</p><br>
<p>"We, the undersigned, citizens of Harrisburg, Pa., the State of Pennsylvania to memorialize the Civil War recruiting camp, named in honor of the great War Governor, Camp Curtin, respectfully petition thee coming session of the State Legislature to procure the vacant plot of land located between Camp Curtin school building and the Camp Curtin Memorial Church on Sixth Street, Harrisburg, Pa., as a site for the erection of a worthy recognition in monument or if desired a statue.... We also ask the cooperation of all public officeholders of Harrisburg and Dauphin county and all patriotic societies and all political parties to help us in thus honoring the memory of our great War Governor and the 100,000 soldiers who, in the days of 61 and 65, went forth from old Camp Curtin to preserve the union."</p><br>
<p>That same year, beginning on December 3, 1916, and continuing for a week afterward, the church hosted as series of dedication events. On December 3, hree of the biggest men in the Methodist Church world," Bishop W. F. McDowell of Washington, the Rev. Dr. John Krantz of New York City, and the church&#39;s district superintendent, the Rev. Dr. A. S. Fasick of Carlisle, officiated at the opening event with Fasick delivering the opening prayer and Krantz delivering the sermon during the morning service and afternoon Sunday school session, and McDowell and Krantz delivering addresses during the evening services.</p><br>
<p>Then, on December 6, a group of Civil War Veterans, Sons of Union Veterans, and veterans of other wars attended a special patriotic service at the church, which was "held in connection with the dedication of the new $60,000 edifice erected as a monument to Camp Curtin of Civil War days where 300,000 men were mustered into the service of the Union." The service was conducted after the veterans had marched to the church together. Local Grand Army of the Republic (G.A.R.) posts then presented an American flag to church leaders, followed by a presentation speech by Colonel H. C. Demming and an acceptance speech by David Cotterel. A formal address regarding the important role played by the recruitment and training camp during the war was then delivered to the audience by Professor Leon C. Prince, chair of the history department at Dickinson College. Following a performance by Estelle Butler of the Civil War-era song, "We Are Camping To-night," attendees dined on bean soup in the church&#39;s social room.</p><br>
<p>The formal dedication then concluded on Sunday, December 10 with a sermon by Bishop William Burt.</p><br>
<p>In 1917, the church hosted a performance by the Musical Art Society of Handels Messiah in January, and also held a series of programs for Rally Day in September. Two years later, William R. Stonesifer was appointed as the churchs organist and choir director.</p><br>
<p>When the Methodist church&#39;s three branches were merged in 1939, the name of this church in Harrisburg was then officially changed to the Camp Curtin Memorial Methodist Church. Nearly thirty years later, when the Methodist church merged with the Evangelical United Brethren Church on April 23, 1969, the name was changed to Camp Curtin Memorial United Methodist Church. On June 25, 1989, this church then merged with Mitchell United Methodist to become the present-day Camp Curtin Memorial-Mitchell United Methodist Church. The pastor as of 2019 is the Rev. John L. Kurtz.</p><br>

<p>In December 2018, the Susquehanna Conference of the United Methodist Church announced plans to consolidate or sell roughly 10 churches in the greater Harrisburg area. In February 2021, newspapers reported that Camp Curtin Memorial-Mitchell United Methodist Church would be sold "to a church off of the west coast that is buying it as a church for veterans&quot however, the realtor involved in the transaction then reported a month later that the church was "back on the market" because the deal had fallen through. News accounts noted that the realtors most recent listing stated that the "15,852-square-foot property listed for $155K," and that the church zoned commercial neighborhood, the possibility of a number of uses for the property." From the time of its announcement, however, the Susquehanna Conferences plan to consolidate or sell the ten churches has met resistance from historic preservationists and members of the congregations of the church properties proposed for sale; according to a newspaper interview with Claude Phipps, chairman of the parish steering committee at the Derry Street United Methodist Church, "the conference has mismanaged the situation and has in the process given off the optics of racism."</p><br>
<p>"These churches are trying to hold minority neighborhoods together.... You are kicking out the last pedestal just as the neighborhood is starting to be revitalized.... You have three churches in New Cumberland within three blocks of each other. Why aren’t you closing them?"</p><br>
<p>The "consolidation plan was rolled out by a West Shore-based management hierarchy and targeted East Shore churches," according to Camp Curtin Memorial-Mitchell preservation and restoration committee member Rhonda Mays," who added that "in its evaluation of her church the conference portrayed the historic parish as failing in ministry and outreach." Explaining that, although Camp Curtin Memorials church service attendance averages roughly just 40 people each week, the churchs "real impact is felt throughout the rest of the week across the community, which relies on the church’s vast network of social services," including health care services and a critically important soup kitchen.</p><br>
<p>Added David Morrison, the executive director of Historic Harrisburg Association, Camp Curtain-Memorial Mitchell is "something of a landmark... and its value in terms of heritage, tourism and education regarding the Civil War is significant."</p><br>

<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>It was built during the 1880s, opened in 1889, and expanded in various phases through the early 1930s. It was Edward Van Winkles third complex in Atlanta - a previous one was located in todays Luckie Marietta district. By 1898, the site specialized in cotton-related machinery, and won awards at international expositions and state fairs. In 1912, the Murray Company of Texas bought out Van Winkle and the site became known as "Murray&#39;s Mill." During World War II, the complex produced ammunition and mortars.</p><br>
<p>In the early 1970s Robert Haywood bought the site and sculptors, musicians, painters and photographers set up studios there. For a time in the early 2000s space was rented to antique dealers as "The Shops at Murray Mill", but the antique mall never took off. The site remained unused for many years.</p><br>
<p>On July 15, 2010, the property was sold for a reported $7 million to Hallister Development, specialists in renovating historic properties. Hallister stated that it planned to preserve and boost the property as an arts-friendly community.

<p>Hallister Development ultimately chose not to pursue redevelopment of the site into a residential/commercial complex. In 2009, Hallister made the decision to develop the site into a Center for the Visual and Performing Arts containing performance and exhibition halls, a cafe/library, an on-site organic farm, an education center, a 5000 square foot space dedicated to contemporary dance, and creative studios for artists.</p><br>
<p>In 2010, it was used for filming in the episode "Vatos" of The Walking Dead. In 2012, it was used for The Hunger Games: Catching Fire filming.</p><br>

The property is owned by the Grand Lodge Česko-Slovenská Podporující Společnost (C.S.P.S.) Benevolent Association of Baltimore. Historically, buildings on the property were used to host social events, Sokol sports events, and other Bohemian/Czech cultural activities.</p><br>
<p>Over the course of a decade, the Grand Lodge Č.S.P.S. President C. Jeanne Táborský and her organization have worked to maintain and repair the cemetery grounds and turn a small building at the cemetery into a museum and cultural center called the "Bohemians of Baltimore Museum". Since the neighborhood of Little Bohemia is long dispersed, the Bohemian National Cemetery is one of the few remnants of the Czech culture remaining in Baltimore, so the Č.S.P.S. has focused much of its energy on preserving the cemetery.</p><br>
<h2>Popular culture</h2><br>
<p>John Waters mentions both the cemetery and the surrounding neighborhood in his book Role Models:</p><br>
<p>Armistead Gardens, a neighborhood originally built as public housing for the influx of people coming to work in factories during World War II. It has been called a "white ghetto" of "row-ranchers," surprising in their "now outdated modernity." There is an amazing graveyard nearby where the star of my early movie Eat Your Makeup, Maelcum Soul, is buried. No one ever shops in Armistead Gardens.</p><br>

<p>Anthony Holmead Archeological Site, at Mitchell Park, is a historic site located at 1801 23rd Street, Northwest, Washington, D.C., in the Sheridan-Kalorama neighborhood.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Anthony Holmead II built a two-story brick house at the site in 1795. The house was seized for use as a Union hospital during the Civil War and accidentally set on fire in 1865. The house was rebuilt, then sold in 1894. The German government bought it in 1904 to use as an embassy, which was seized by the US government during World War I. In 1922, the German government purchased the house once again and demolished it, but lost the property during World War II before constructing another building. The land was then donated to the city of Washington for use as a park.</p><br>
<p>The site was added to the National Register of Historic Places on April 27, 1995, and is a contributing property to the Sheridan-Kalorama Historic District. The 2009 property value of the site (park included) is $6,956,490.</p><br>
<p>Francis Griffith Newlands Memorial Fountain is a historic fountain located at Chevy Chase Circle, on the border between the Chevy Chase neighborhood of Northwest Washington, D.C., and the community of Chevy Chase, Maryland. The fountain was designed by Edward W. Donn Jr. in 1933 and erected in 1938. Named for Francis G. Newlands, the project was funded by Newlands&#39; widow. It is controlled and operated by the National Park Service as part of nearby Rock Creek Park.</p><br>
<h2>Fountain</h2><br>
<p>The fountain honors Newlands, a USA senator and founder of Chevy Chase, Maryland. In 1902, Newland sponsored the Newlands Reclamation Act, which allowed the federal government to begin irrigation of the West. He was an outspoken white supremacist, antisemite, and segregationist who advocated the repeal of the 15th Amendment to deprive African-Americans of the right to vote. He founded the Chevy Chase Land Company, which established whites-only neighborhoods on the D.C.-Maryland border. He purchased over 1,700 acre of land and named it "Chevy Chase" to honor his Scottish ancestral homeland.</p><br>
<p>In 1990, the Land Company refurbished the fountain to recognize the 100th anniversary of the founding of Chevy Chase. The fountain was rededicated and recognized by the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>Proposed renaming</h2><br>
<p>In December 2014, the Chevy Chase Advisory Neighborhood Commission (ANC) considered a proposal to rename the fountain due to Newlands&#39; white supremacist views. On December 8, the Historic Chevy Chase DC Board voted to support changing the name to Chevy Chase Fountain; a report chronicled the debate. The descendants of Newlands opposed the renaming.</p><br>
<p>A bronze plaque at the fountain contained an inscription reading "His Statesmanship Held True Regard For The Interests Of All Men." In 2020, the ANC voted to have the plaque removed.</p><br>
<p>On February 23, 2021, Delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton, D-D.C., introduced a bill to require the National Park Service to rename the fountain. Designated H.R. 1256 and named the Francis G. Newlands Memorial Removal Act, it was referred to the Subcommittee on National Parks, Forests, and Public Lands of the House Natural Resources Committee on March 23, 2021. On April 19, 2022, the Montgomery County Council adopted a resolution proclaiming its support for the bill.</p><br>

<p>Calver Island is a historic archaeological site located on the Susquehanna River in Swatara Township, Dauphin County, Pennsylvania. It is known as Pennsylvania Site 36DA89. Geographically, Calver Island is a "midchannel" island formed from the coalescence of two longitudinal shoals that merged as one landform. It was only then upon the unification of the land, estimated at 5200 years before present, where it would&#39;ve been inhabitable by Native Americans.</p><br>
<p>In the 2000s, a bridge for the Pennsylvania Turnpike—between Fairview Township, York County and Swatara Township, Dauphin County—which spanned through the island was in need of replacement by the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission. Because it required review by the USA Army Corps of Engineers, the National Historic Preservation Act also required that the project not impact archaeological information, which was first identified there in the 1970s. With some additional digs, the island was found to be eligible to be added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2007. Most digging then occurred in several block excavations in the immediate area of potential effect (APE) prior to construction of the new bridge.</p><br>
<p>Calver Island is a stratified site, so found artifacts&#39; originate from Early Archaic through Late Woodland periods. The island itself had one of the most intact stratigraphic records in the entire state.</p><br>

<p>Southeast Portland grew rapidly between 1883 and 1910 after the opening of bridges linking the city&#39;s west side with sparsely populated areas across the Willamette River. The Sunnyside neighborhood, platted by the Sunnyside Land and Improvement Company in 1888, was the first development along an eastside streetcar route. Its shopping center included the Knight Building. Few similar buildings from this era remain in southeast Portland; most have been replaced by larger or more sturdy structures.</p><br>
<p>Although the exact date of construction and the name of the builder are unknown, deed records suggest that J.S. Winslow was the builder.

<h2>2023 lawsuit</h2><br>
<p>In June 2022 two members of the Keystone Party of Pennsylvania, candidate Dave Kocur and executive board member Kevin Gaughen, were collecting signatures for Kocur to appear on the ballot for the election for PA-104. The pair were approached by Dauphin County Parks and Recreation director Anthea Stebbin and two security guards and ordered to immediately cease collecting signatures and vacate the parks premises. The County stated in its defense that when the land which would become the park was purchased in 1980, one of the clauses of the deed was that no political activities would take place on the property. Kocur and Gaughen argued that since it is public parkland that the county government shouldnt be allowed restrict First Amendment rights based on clauses of deeds. The pairs legal team, the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression (FIRE), cited a 1966 Supreme Court case, Evans v. Newton, which states that any local governments property-conveyance restrictions must comport with the Constitution. The county was noted as being unusually confrontational on the issue when the American Civil Liberties Union attempted to mediate. In March 2023, the County called FIRE&#39;s legal notice a "threat" and refused to negotiate with the defendants, their legal team, or the ACLU, resulting in the case reaching the United States District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania. On April 26, 2023, the Court found in favor of Kocur and Gaughen; it ordered Dauphin County and Stebbin to end the unconstitutional ban on political speech in the park and pay the pair $91,000.</p><br>

<p>Reverie is a historic Greek Revival mansion built circa 1858 in Marion, Perry County, Alabama. It now serves as a residence and also historic house museum. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places as a contributing property to the West Marion Historic District and was recorded by the Historic American Buildings Survey.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The property on which Reverie sits was sold on February 9, 1858, for $4,000, a large sum in that day, to Joseph Thompson Whitsitt, a planter (according to the census) and railroad investor. Wartime financial reverses led Mr. Whitsitt to sell the mansion on November 28, 1862, for $10,000 to Edward Kenworthy Carlisle, a wealthy cotton broker who also owned one of the finest mansions in Alabama, Kenworthy Hall, located only a few miles away.</p><br>
<p>Carlisle shortly sold the house again on April 28, 1863, to David Scott, a merchant and cotton, grist, and saw mill operator and manufacturer. Scott died on August 9, 1868, and left a will recording the furnishings of the mansion at that time. Harrison H. Hurt, son of a prominent merchant and planter, bought the mansion in 1871 at auction for $4,650. Mr. Hurt&#39;s daughter Nellie married Dr. R.C. Hanna and the mansion became known as the Hurt-Hanna House.</p><br>
<p>After Mrs. Hannas death in 1944, the house was sold to Dr. William T. Weissinger, who in the course of a distinguished career had been General Douglas MacArthurs physician in the army. Mrs. Weissinger first named the house Reverie which it has remained ever since. Since Dr. Weissinger&#39;s death in 1971, the house has been owned by a number of families, each of which maintained it as a residence.</p><br>
<p>While the house was owned by David Scott in the 1860s, Union troops occupied the town of Marion and used the house as their headquarters. Some markings of these troops can be found in the attic.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>Four white Doric columns of brick, covered with stucco, give this Greek Revival mansion its monumental appearance. The house features a massive frieze board with dentil moldings which surrounds the entire home. Board siding and double hung paned windows are all original. A cupola or belvedere with classical balustrade sits atop the low-hipped roof and there is also a balcony above the entrance.</p><br>
<p>The mansion is a standard four-room over four-room house with a spacious central hall and grand, unsupported staircase, but also has two story cabinet rooms on the east and west sides. These flanking rooms were unusual at the time and, together with the portico, made the design quite distinctive. Two outbuildings survive: the original kitchen, now connected to the house, and a brick smokehouse.</p><br>
<p>The interior of the Mansion includes elaborate plaster moldings and medallions, original to house, along with inlaid flooring of oak and mahogany which was added later. The ceiling height downstairs is 14 and upstairs 13 with original heart pine floors in most areas.</p><br>
<p>In the garden, a Wisteria arbor is thought to predate the construction of the house by several decades and may be the oldest surviving Wisteria in Alabama. There is also a boxwood parterre (knot garden or maze) which was probably put in sometime after the turn of the 19th century and was restored in recent decades.</p><br>
<p>Magnolia Hall, also known as the McCrary-Otts House, is a historic Greek Revival mansion in Greensboro, Alabama. It is a contributing property to the Greensboro Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and was individually listed on the National Register in 2021.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Greensboro became increasingly prosperous during the cotton boom of the mid-19th century. In 1850, William Murphy, a lawyer and legislator, sold a prime lot to David F. McCrary, a prominent cotton broker and planter who had originally come from North Carolina and married Elizabeth Cowan Lowry, daughter of a leading Alabama family. McCrary had Murphy&#39;s house moved and hired the well known architect B.F. Parsons, originally from Massachusetts, to design a mansion, which was completed in 1858. The Alabama Beacon reported that the house cost $10,000, a very large sum at the time.</p><br>
<p>Unlike many of his contemporaries, Mr. McCrarys finances survived the War; he opened the Greensboro Bank and Exchange in 1871. On his death in 1888, the McCrarys only living child, Lelia Jane, and her husband, the noted Presbyterian divine Dr. John M.P. Otts, inherited the property. Otts had given the first sermon to Confederate troops at Fort Sumter.</p><br>
<p>Their son James and his wife Sadie bought the house from his siblings in the 1920s. It remained in the McCrary-Otts family until 1970, when it was sold to Mr. and Mrs. M.D. Baines. The house was sold again in 2011.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>A detailed, twelve-page building contract for Magnolia Hall was discovered by Dr. David Nelson, a McCrary descendant. Few such contracts describing the construction of antebellum mansions have survived. This one calls for porticoes, north and south, each with six fluted columns, of the "Grecian Ionic Order...the Entablature and Mouldings all to harmonize with it...and proportioned after the order."</p><br>
<p>In addition it calls for double balconies of delicate iron grill work, and colored glass transoms around the doors. Inside are large four-over-four rooms, 14-foot ceilings, chandelier medallions, and a grand, mahogany-railed staircase in the spacious hallway. W. E. Yerby, in his History of Greensboro, concluded that Magnolia Hall "is indisputably one of the finest antebellum mansions in Alabama... a perfect example of late Greek Revival architecture."</p><br>
<p>First Presbyterian Church is a historic Presbyterian church in Macon, GA.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The place was frequently visited by Mr. Joseph C. Stiles, a licentiate and Evangelist of Hopewell Presbytery, who took it in as a part of his field. As the fruit of his ministry a church was organized June 18, 1826, of twenty five members, by Rev. Benjamin Gildersleeve, First Presbyterian Church was born on June 18, 1826, just three years after the city of Macon was chartered. The church continued to be a part of the Evangelistic field of Mr. Stiles, till 1828, when Rev. James C. Patterson became the regular supply for two years till the Fall of 1830. During Mr. Patterson&#39;s ministry the first building, a wooden structure, was erected on Fourth street. This building was turned over to the Baptists, who removed and enlarged it; and is now the Second Baptist church. The Rev. Edwin Holt was the first regular pastor, installed November 20, 1831, and served the church from 1831 to 1834, when the relation was dissolved by the Presbytery of Good Hope and he dismissed to the Presbytery of Newburyport July 27, 1836. He was followed by Rev. James Stratton, as supply, for two years. He was never settled. His name was stricken from the roll March 29, 1843, he "having joined another church." He was succeeded by Rev. Samuel J. Cassels, who was installed November 5, 1836 and continued till April 13, 1842. It was during the ministry of Rev. Mr. Cassels, that the second house, a brick building commenced during the ministry of Mr. Stratton, was completed.</p><br>

These factors have led the historian Andrew Manis to conclude that the school was a segregation academy established to allow white parents to avoid sending their children to racially integrated public schools.</p><br>
