<p>The Horseshoe Lake Ranger Station in Lassen Volcanic National Park, California is a backcountry ranger station that was built by Civilian Conservation Corps labor in 1934. The cabin typifies National Park Service standard designs for such structures in the prevailing National Park Service Rustic style then used by the Park Service. It is the only such example of a standard-plan backcountry ranger station in Lassen Volcanic National Park. There were originally two structures at the site, the residence, and a now-vanished barn.</p><br>
<p>The rectangular ranger station is a log structure measuring about 33 ft by 23 ft, extended by front and back porches. The front porch is a gabled structure supported by peeled-log posts. The back porch has no roof. Split-pole chinking is used throughout. The interior comprises a large living room measuring 20 ft by 13 ft, a kitchen and a bedroom. A former enclosed porch functions as a storeroom. An attic is used for storage, and floors are oiled wood. The living room and bedroom feature a stone fireplace.</p><br>
<p>Construction of what was then called the Horseshoe Lake Fireguard Station and Barn started in 1934 and was completed on October 22 of that year, to Park Service plan #3032. The Park Service designed an elaborately rustic barn for this location, but a more utilitarian barn was actually built.</p><br>
<p>The Horseshoe Lake Ranger Station was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on May 5, 1978.</p><br>
<p>The Hebard–Ford Summer House is a private house located north of L&#39;Anse, Michigan in Pequaming, Michigan. It is also known as the Ford Bungalow. The house was designated a Michigan State Historic Site in 1979 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In 1878, lumber baron Charles Hebard founded the logging town of Pequaming nine miles north of L&#39;Anse on the shore of Lake Superior. It was the first large-scale lumbering operation in the Upper Peninsula. Hebard built and owned all the buildings in the town, including approximately 100 houses built for workers. The population of Pequaming peaked at around 800 in 1897. Charles Hebard died in 1904, passing his lumber business and the town of Pequaming to his sons, Daniel and Charles.</p><br>
<p>In 1914, Daniel Hebard built this lodge as his periodic residence. In 1923, the brothers sold the operation to Henry Ford; although Ford was primarily interested in the Hebards 40,000 acres of timber, the brothers insisted he buy the sawmill and the town at the same time. Ford used the town to produce wooden pieces for the frames and bodies of Ford stationwagons. Henry Ford took over Daniel Hebards lodge for his own personal use, and summered here from 1923 to 1941.</p><br>
<p>However, Fords need for lumber dropped during the Great Depression, and shipping problems during World War II spelled the end for Pequamings mill. Ford shut the plant down in 1942; with the loss of jobs, most families soon left the town.</p><br>
<p>The Hebard–Ford house is currently privately owned, but available as a vacation rental.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Hebard–Ford house is a rectangular, two-story lodge built in the Bungaloid style. It is of frame construction, covered with white clapboards, with a low gable roof with long shed dormers. A veranda is contained under the roofline, which is supported with seven cement pillars. The main floor has double hung, six-over-six paned windows with dark trim, and two sets of French doors open onto the veranda. Inside are eight bedrooms, seven bathrooms, a large living room, a dining room, and an office. Outside was a caretaker&#39;s residence, a formal garden and a tennis court.</p><br>
<p>The house reflects a gracious style of living that rich industrialists valued in northern Michigan vacation lodges.</p><br>
<p>The Augusta Apartment Building, along with the Louisa Apartment Building, are historic structures located in the Northwest Quadrant of Washington, D.C. Washington architect Arthur B. Heaton designed both buildings, which were built a year apart from one another in 1900 and 1901. They are two of his earliest commissions. The Tudor Revival façade of the buildings emulate the mansions that were built during the late Victorian age. The exterior features Flemish bond and tapestry brick with decorative motifs in both tile and limestone. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1994.</p><br>
<p>The Bachelor Apartment House is an historic structure located in the Northwest Quadrant of Washington, D.C. The architectural firm of Wood, Donn & Deming designed the building.</p><br>
<p>It is believed to be the only example of a luxury apartment building built for single men still standing in the city. It is also one of the first apartment buildings in Washington with a Tudor Revival façade. The building, which now contains offices, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.</p><br>

<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The architectural firm of Rodier & Kundzin designed the building, constructed in 1928, for the United Publishing Company. The main façade of the building is constructed in limestone, and features four Art Deco bas relief panels that portray the printing trade and ties the building to the trade, that it housed for 60 years.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2008. From 2015 until 2023 the site was the home of a restaurant and nightclub.</p><br>
<p>The Champlain Apartment Building, also known as the Orme Building, is an historic structure located at 1424 K St., Northwest, Washington, D.C. in the Downtown neighborhood.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The building was designed by architect Clinton Smith and constructed in 1905. A real estate venture of Senator Redfield Proctor of Vermont (who was also the president of the Vermont Marble Company), it features a white marble Beaux-Arts Classical façade. The building exemplifies the importance of elected officials on Washington&#39;s design and the significance of private construction in implementing the City Beautiful movement in Washington. Converted into an office building, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1994.</p><br>
<p>The Mount Pleasant Indian Industrial Boarding School in Mt. Pleasant, Michigan, was established by an act of the United States Congress in 1891. This provided funding for creation of an education system of off-reservation boarding schools and vocational training centers to educate Native American children. It was extending a model developed and practiced first at the Carlisle Indian Industrial School, which opened in 1879 and was directed by Richard Henry Pratt, an Army officer.</p><br>
<h2>Beginnings</h2><br>
<p>The cornerstone of the first of eleven buildings that would make up the boarding schools campus was placed in front of a crowd of more than 2,000 people from across the state on October 18, 1892. As part of the crowds celebration, they congregated in the town of Mount Pleasant, Michigan and paraded to the school grounds some distance away in farmland. The Grand Master of the Free and Accepted Masons was on hand to lead in the "ancient ritual" of laying the cornerstone. The Grand Chaplain led the crowd in a Christian prayer to bless the school and all those that would reside there.</p><br>
<p>What then was known as the Mount Pleasant Indian Industrial Boarding School started as a small school authorized by the federal government and operated by a mission of the United Methodist Church. It had previously been known as the "farm school", as it was developed in the middle of farmland outside of Mount Pleasant. Located in Isabella County, it was near the Isabella Indian Reservation of the federally recognized Saginaw Chippewa Tribal Nation.</p><br>
<h2>Buildings and grounds</h2><br>
<p>In 1892, construction began of the first school building of the new school dedicated to educating Native American children. October 18, 1892, dedication ceremonies for the main building took place and on January 3, 1893, the eight-classroom building opened to the first seventeen students. By June 1893, enrollment had increased significantly. In the coming years, the school expanded, building additional structures to accommodate all of the students and their daily activities.</p><br>
<p>There were separate boys and girls dormitories, a hospital, a woodworking and blacksmith shop; a building for industrial training, a dining hall, a clubhouse for employees of the school, and several farm buildings. In 1910 the school built a new gymnasium. Adjacent to the school was an "Indian Cemetery", which is still visible today.</p><br>
<h2>The children</h2><br>
<p>Native American children from all over the State of Michigan, along with children from Alaska, Minnesota, Wisconsin, and New York were forced to the Mount Pleasant Indian Industrial Boarding School. It had an average enrollment of more than 300 students annually for many of the years it was open.</p><br>
<h2>School is in session</h2><br>
<p>The Native American children at the boarding school received basic academic instruction in grades kindergarten through eighth (K-8) at the Mount Pleasant School. The strict and structured schedule was focused on vocational training and religious education. Classes were offered in English language, woodworking, farming, sewing/tailoring, laundry, housekeeping and basic first aid. The coursework included teaching students how to adapt and fit into "white culture". Rumors of extreme abuse suffered by students as told by locals permeate the locale. The documentary film includes interviews with attendees of the Mount Pleasant Indian Industrial Boarding School and some of their descendants. The Saginaw Chippewa Tribe maintains a YouTube channel documenting remembrance ceremonies for the students who attended and died there.</p><br>
<h2>Mount Pleasant Branch of the Michigan Home and Training School</h2><br>
<p>Classes for the Native American children at the school continued until the school closed on June 6, 1934. The property was transferred by the federal government to the State of Michigan for use by the Michigan Department of Mental Health services.</p><br>
<p>After that, it was called The Mount Pleasant Branch of the Michigan Home and Training School. The intent of this home and training school was to house and train mentally handicapped young men. Many of the boys were abandoned; some were juvenile criminals who did not understand their crime or charges in court, and even more of the residents were mentally or physically handicapped. A majority of the residents had some kind of mental health issue.</p><br>
<h2>Closure</h2><br>
<p>The facility closed in 2008; the State of Michigan made the decision to close due to budget shortfalls at the state level and a dwindling number of patients being assisted at the location. Since their closure, the buildings have lain empty and abandoned. Today, the majority of the buildings&#39; windows and doors are broken or boarded over and the buildings lie in disrepair. The interiors of the buildings are filled with old and used furniture, unused medical supplies, trash, and anything that was left behind by the staff. Much of the appearance of the interior is due to years of neglect and after the closure, the complex was left abandoned and vacant, which left the buildings and grounds vulnerable to vandals. It is now the property of the Saginaw Chippewa Tribal Nation. One plan is to make the former school a museum.</p><br>
<p>The tribe&#39;s latest plan is for the repair of campus buildings, including abatement of lead and asbestos, over a period of five to ten years. Only the workshop building would be utilitized to serve as a community center. All other buildings will remain unused to let the quiet inside the buildings speak for themselves.</p><br>
<p>The property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2018.</p><br>

<p>The Lewis Smalley Homestead, also known as Lewisburg-Sycamores, is an historic, American home that is located on a property on Route 103. Situated at the mouth of the Aughwick Creek, where it meets the Juniata River in Shirley Township in Huntingdon County, Pennsylvania, it was built circa 1794.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.</p><br>
<h2>History and architectural features</h2><br>
<p>A -story, stone building, this historic structure measures three-bays wide and thirty feet by twenty-five feet. It has a tin-covered gable roof and was made of sandstone that was obtained from the river. The house retains the original woodwork, doors, hardware and unfinished chestnut flooring, as well as three original stone fireplaces.</p><br>
<p>Also located on the property is a stone bank barn, measuring forty-five feet by ninety feet. Original hardware from the local blacksmith survives in the barn. One hinge still bears the blacksmith&#39;s mark.</p><br>
<p>In late June 1863, during the American Civil War and just prior to the Battle of Gettysburg, the property was used as part of a Union garrison, which was staffed by a contingent of more than 1,500 troops that were stationed at various locations around Mount Union. Its purpose was to guard the road, valley, and bridge to prevent the possible capture and destruction of the Pennsylvania railroad by Confederate troops. In the barn, where the garrison&#39;s horses were stabled, soldiers carved their names, initials, and dates in door jambs and barn beams. Those carvings are still visible. The farm was occupied by the William Hainey Briggs family during the time of the Union encampment.</p><br>
<p>The original 540-acre property passed intact within the Smalley family until roughly 1957 when the last descendant sold it. An interim owner, Tuscarora Land Company, subdivided the original acreage in 1975. The Smalley residence now occupies twenty-eight acres.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.</p><br>
<p>Benjamin B. Leas House, also known as Shirleysburg Female Seminary, Fort Shirley Site, and "The Rock," is a historic home located at Shirleysburg in Huntingdon County, Pennsylvania. It was built in 1850, and is a -story, rectangular red brick building, five-bays wide and measuring 41 feet by 32 feet. It has a rear kitchen / servant&#39;s quarters wing. The house is in the Greek Revival style. The house was built on the site of Fort Shirley, originally built in 1755. The house was used for a seminary from 1855 to 1866, as a rest-home for members of the German Baptist Church from 1885 to 1893, then housed the Shirleysburg Female Seminary until about 1903.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.</p><br>
<p>Hugh D. and Martha South Seeds Farm, also known as Eden Hill Farm, is a historic home and farm located at Spruce Creek Township in Huntingdon County, Pennsylvania. The property includes a vernacular stone farmhouse dated to about 1830; a Pennsylvania bank barn dated to about 1880; and the surrounding landscape elements including farm lanes, fence rows, and field patterns. The farmhouse is a -story, five-bay, banked limestone dwelling with a full Georgian plan.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.</p><br>
<p>The Robb Farm is a historic home and farm located at 11023 Hartslog Valley Road in Walker Township in Huntingdon County, Pennsylvania.</p><br>
<p>The property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2011.</p><br>
<h2>History and architectural features</h2><br>
<p>The Robb Farm was erected in Huntingdon Countys Walker Township. Multiple newspaper classified advertisements during the 1940s and 1950s confirm that the farm was located in that townships Hartslog Valley, and that M. G. Robb frequently engaged in livestock sales and purchases. Hereford cows were among the animals mentioned.</p><br>
<h3>Placement of property on the National Register of Historic Places</h3><br>
<p>The nomination materials for placement of the Robb Farm on the National Register of Historic Places were reviewed by Pennsylvania&#39;s Historic Preservation Board on February 1, 2011, at 9:45 a.m. at the Labor and Industry Building in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Also considered for National Register placement at this meeting were: the Alden Villa in Lebanon County, the McCook Family Estate and the John A. Brashear House and Factory in Pittsburgh, the Montrose Historic District in Susquehanna County, the Quakertown Historic District in Bucks County, Wilpen Hall in Sewickley, and the Tindley Temple United Methodist Church and Marian Anderson House in Philadelphia, as well as multiple historic African American churches in Philadelphia that were presented together on a "Multiple Property Documentation Form."</p><br>
<p>The Robb Farm was then officially listed on the National Register of Historic Places later in 2011.</p><br>

<p>The Loomis Museum, also known as the Loomis Visitor Center, the Manzanita Lake Visitor Center and the Manzanita Lake Museum, was built by Benjamin Franklin Loomis in 1927 near Manzanita Lake, just outside Lassen Volcanic National Park in California, USA. Loomis was a local homesteader and photographer who documented the 1915 eruptions of Lassen Peak, and was instrumental in the 1916 establishment of the national park. In 1929 Loomis donated the museum and 40 acre of surrounding lands to the National Park Service, which since then has used the structure as an interpretational facility.</p><br>
<p>Loomis had desired that the headquarters of the new park be established at Manzanita Lake, but an alternate site was chosen by the Park Service. Loomis and his wife Estella started building their own museum to exhibit photographs taken by Loomis and others, as well as geological exhibits and artifacts of local Native Americans. The building was dedicated on July 4, 1927 as the Mae Loomis Memorial Museum, named after their only child, Luisa Mae Loomis, who had died in 1920.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Loomis Museum is a one-story rectangular building built of local volcanic rock in cut-face random ashlar coursing. The main body of the museum is about 25 ft by 60 ft, with small extensions to either side at the rear, making the building T-shaped in plan. The building is characterized by its prominent crenelated stepped parapets. Contrasting with the rustic character of the stonework, the main entrance features formal sidelights and a fanlight. A small bracketed shed roof shelters the entrance, and the side elevations have similar shed projections down their length., all roofed with green tile. The interior is primarily composed of a single large room.</p><br>
<p>About 45 ft to the northeast of the museum stands a seismograph building of similar design, measuring about 10 ft by 12 ft. The station was built by the Loomises in 1926. It features three large windows that allow visitors to view the seismographic equipment within.</p><br>
<p>Described in 1952 as "ugly quasi-Spanish", the Loomis Museum was briefly considered for demolition and replacement during the Mission 66 program. The museum and seismograph station were placed on the National Register of Historic Places on February 25, 1975. The museum was renovated in 1994, the seismograph building in 1995. It is now used as a visitor contact center by the Park Service. The museum and seismograph building are also part of the Manzanita Lake Naturalist&#39;s Services Historic District.</p><br>
<p>The Sand Point Site  is an archaeological site located near Baraga, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.</p><br>
<p>Sand Point is a Late Woodland period archaeological site, containing the remains of a village and 12 burial mounds spread out over 19.5 acre. It is believed to have been occupied approximately 1100-1400 AD, and contains a diverse series of artifacts, including Juntunen style and Ramey-incised ceramics, suggesting a wide trade network. Debris at the site indicates a subsistence culture surviving on small mammals, fish, berries, and acorns.</p><br>
<p>The site was rediscovered in 1968, when a private developer began a planned lakeshore redevelopment and turned up human bones. In 1970, researchers from Western Michigan University began excavations at the site, and it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.</p><br>
<p>The George P. Lent Investment Properties, also known as Firehouse Row, in southeast Portland in the USA state of Oregon, consists of a group of five similar 1.5-story, single-family houses listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Built in 1893, the group was added to the register in 1989. The Queen Anne style houses are next to one another at the corner of Southeast 7th Avenue and Southeast Harrison Streets. They are commonly referred to as Firehouse Row because firemen from the adjacent Portland Fire Station No. 23 sometimes lived in them.</p><br>
<p>Constructed during the period of rapid growth that followed East Portlands annexation by Portland in 1891, the buildings are among the few Victorian-era homes remaining in the citys Hosford&ndash;Abernethy neighborhood. Each is about 20 ft wide and 40 ft long. George P. Lent, for whom the city&#39;s Lents neighborhood is named, was the original owner of the rental properties. He sold them two years later, and they subsequently changed hands many times. Among the early tenants of the house at 1921 Southeast 7th Avenue was Lee G. Holden, who designed firehouses, including the one next door.</p><br>
<p>The Manzanita Lake Naturalists Services Historic District encompasses the historic area devoted to visitor interpretation services at the northwest entrance of Lassen Volcanic National Park in northeastern California. The districts earliest structures were built by Benjamin and Estella Loomis, who were instrumental in the establishment of the park and among the park&#39;s first concessioners. The 1927 Loomis Museum and its seismograph hut were built by the Loomises and were donated, together with 40 acre of land to the National Park Service in 1929. The Loomis House, also known as the Loomis Art House and Manzanita Lake Ranger Station, was built about the same time as the museum and served as their residence, photography studio and shop until the 1950s under the name "B.F. Loomis Photo and Art Store".</p><br>
<p>Park Service structures were developed at Manzanita Lake in the 1930s. Park Service-designed and constructed buildings include the entrance station (1930), the ranger residence (1931) and the comfort station (1931). The naturalist&#39;s residence (1933) shares a similar design to its counterparts at Crater Lake National Park, with their design and construction techniques adapted to the short building seasons prevalent at both parks. The residence was built using Civilian Conservation Corps labor.</p><br>
<p>The area was abandoned in 1973 after a geological report indicated that a rockfall in the Chaos Crags could reach the Manzanita Lake area in 90 seconds. The Manzanita Lodge and cabins were therefore closed and demolished. In 1987 a reassessment indicated that such a rockfall could not reach Manzanita Lake and the area was reoccupied and renovated. The lodge was never rebuilt. The Manzanita Lake Naturalist&#39;s Services Historic District was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on June 23, 2006.</p><br>

<p>The Summit Lake Ranger Station, also known as the Summit Lake Patrol Cabin, is one of the first three buildings constructed by the National Park Service in Lassen Volcanic National Park, California. Located near the center of the park on the main park road, the cabin was built in 1926. It is a log building measuring about 20 ft by 30 ft with an asymmetric gable roof that results in a long pitch to a low rear wall. The main portion of the station comprises a living area, kitchen, and two bedrooms. A former porch has been enclosed and houses a bathroom.</p><br>
<p>The Summit Lake Ranger Station was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on April 3, 1978.</p><br>
<p>The John Jacob Astor Hotel, originally known as the Hotel Astoria, is a historic former hotel building located in Astoria, Oregon, United States, and listed on the National Register of Historic Places . It is one of the tallest buildings on the Oregon Coast and is a "prominent landmark" in Astoria. and sat vacant for several years until 1984, when work to renovate it and convert it for apartments began. It reopened as an apartment building in 1986, with the lowermost two floors reserved for commercial use. The building was listed on the NRHP in 1979. The world&#39;s first cable television system was set up in 1948 using an antenna on the roof of the Hotel Astoria.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Construction began in November 1922 and was completed in late 1923, and the Hotel Astoria opened for business on January 1, 1924. At the start of construction, the plans called for the hotel to be five stories tall, but only a month later, The resulting severe shortage of housing prompted the Columbia Hotel Company to revise the design to increase the planned height to eight stories. It was eclipsed by the nine-story, 110 ft Marshfield Hotel (now the Tioga Hotel), in Coos Bay, in 1926, when construction of that buildings overall structure neared completion. However, work on the Marshfield was soon suspended, and the building stood vacant (its uppermost stories a windowless shell) until the late 1940s, when it was finally completed and opened for use for the first time, as the Tioga Hotel. Until the Tioga Hotels opening in 1948, the Hotel Astoria remained the tallest commercial structure in use on the Oregon Coast.</p><br>
<p>The building has an L-shaped footprint. On its most prominent side, the west façade, it extends the full length of the block on 14th Street between Commercial and Duane streets. It is nearly as wide on its north side, along Commercial Street, but less than half as wide on its south and east sides. The original exterior color was mainly white, with gray on the first two floors.</p><br>
<p>In its early years, the hotel was "the hub of the city&#39;s business dealings and social activities". In addition to 150 rooms for guests, the building included ten residential apartments on its top floor. The local chamber of commerce had its office in the hotel, and the basement included show space for salesmen. The hotel hosted many conventions, and several community groups used it as their regular meeting place. However, the hotel began to struggle financially within just a few years. It was beset with a variety of problems, involving "prohibition agents, liquor control officers, labor troubles and military police. The Army declared the area off-limits, and the Navy proclaimed it out-of-bounds," The Daily Astorian wrote in a 2011 retrospective article. The completion of the Sunset Highway in 1949 contributed to the decline in business, as it gave Portlanders a second route to the Oregon Coast, one not passing through Astoria. From the 1930s on, ownership of the hotel changed hands several times.</p><br>
<p>In late 1951, the Hotel Astoria was renamed the John Jacob Astor Hotel, in honor of the city&#39;s namesake, John Jacob Astor. The landmark building was repainted pink. However, a postwar decline in business continued, and other problems persisted. In 1961, the Astoria Fire Department found 51 code violations, six of them major, but all of the violations remained uncorrected seven years later. The restaurant and "Fur Trader Lounge" bar were closed by the Internal Revenue Service in early 1968 for failure to pay taxes.</p><br>
<h3>Closure and long vacancy</h3><br>
<p>In 1968, city officials condemned the building, declaring it a public nuisance and a fire hazard, and ordered it vacated. The Clatsop County government took ownership in 1978 through tax foreclosure and sold the building at auction in early 1979. At the end of an eight-year period as Astoria&#39;s mayor, Bob Chopping had given up hope of saving the hotel, telling a reporter in early 1983 that, "Citizens must have realized after all these years, chances of renovation is nil."</p><br>
<h3>Conversion to apartments</h3><br>
<p>In late 1984, a plan was approved in which private investors would convert the former hotel into 70 apartments for low-income residents on the six upper floors and commercial space on the first two floors.</p><br>
<h2>Design</h2><br>
<p>The Hotel Astoria (later John Jacob Astor Hotel) was designed by architects Tourtellotte & Hummel, who were based in Portland from 1922 to 1930 and who, after the Astoria project, designed two other hotels that are now NRHP-listed: the Lithia Springs Hotel (Ashland, Oregon) and the Redwoods Hotel (Grants Pass, Oregon). Constructed of reinforced concrete, the eight-story John Jacob Astor Hotel building features Gothic decorative elements. The seventh floor is decorated with several escutcheons, one every third window, and the window groups at the building&#39;s corners at this level are additionally topped by rounded arches "embellished with elaborate cartouches in cast stone". Each group of three windows at the mezzanine level, or second floor, includes two Corinthian pilasters and is topped by a pointed arch and a frieze with three small shields above. The lobby is two stories high at its center and includes numerous Corinthian columns. It originally included a large fireplace and "an elegant wrought-iron chandelier with parchment shades over electric candles".</p><br>
<h2>Cable television birthplace</h2><br>
<p>The former hotel has been called the "birthplace of cable television". invented by L. E. "Ed" Parsons, then owner of Astoria radio station KAST. Ed Parsons set up the first USA cable television system to use coaxial cable and a community antenna to deliver TV signals to an area that otherwise would not have been able to receive broadcast TV signals. The first television station in the Pacific Northwest was inaugurated in November 1948 by Seattle radio station KRSC, now KING-TV. Astoria being about 125 mi from Seattle, Parsons "was unable to get a picture in his apartment, even with a high antenna". The set-up worked, and Parsons and his wife were the only people in Astoria able to view television, starting on Thanksgiving Day 1948. "Reception was not of a quality that would be saleable today," Parsons told The Oregonian in 1972, "but we received a picture and started attracting guests." The couple quickly became overwhelmed by requests from friends and neighbors eager to pay them a visit to experience the new medium. To appease them, Parsons laid a second cable to a TV set in the hotel&#39;s lobby, and by the end of December a nearby music store was the third hook-up.

<p>The Old Astoria City Hall, now known as the Clatsop County Historical Society Heritage Museum, is a historic building located in Astoria, Oregon, United States, that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The building served as the city hall of Astoria from 1905 until 1939. It was the first location of the Columbia River Maritime Museum, from 1963 to 1982, and has been the Heritage Museum since 1985.</p><br>
<h2>History as city hall</h2><br>
<p>The first Astoria city hall was designed and built in 1878 by Albert W. Ferguson. His sons firm of Ferguson & Houston also built the second building, located at 16th and Exchange streets, but the buildings design was by Emil Schacht. The new building would be larger than its predecessor, as well as more modern. Construction began in 1904 and was completed in June 1905. The second Astoria City Hall was formally dedicated on July 4, 1905. All city offices, as well as the city library, were located in the new building.</p><br>
<p>In the 1930s, it was decided to move city hall to a location in downtown, as the location at 16th and Exchange streets was rather isolated; the original, 1878 city hall had also been located in downtown Astoria.</p><br>
<p>The city used a Public Works Administration grant to fund the conversion of a former bank building on Duane Street into a New City Hall. The city offices were moved out of the Old Astoria City Hall on Exchange Street, into the new premises, at the end of March 1939.</p><br>
<h2>Later use</h2><br>
<p>Since the end of its function as city hall, the two-story building has been put to various other uses. In the 1940s, the city allowed the State of Oregon to use it as an annex to an armory built at that time and located just to the east. Later, the USAO. used the building as its local headquarters. It moved out in 1960, leaving the building vacant.</p><br>
<p>In 1963, the building was turned into the first Columbia River Maritime Museum, which opened in August of that year. It served this purpose for almost 20 years, until that museum moved to a new location on the riverfront, in 1982. To avoid confusion with the existing Astoria City Hall, the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department identifies the building as "Astoria City Hall (Old)" in its list of registered historic properties in Oregon.</p><br>
<p>In 1980, members of the Clatsop County Historical Society voted to purchase the Old City Hall and renovate it for use as a museum. The purchase was completed in 1985, opened in 1985. Interior renovation and exterior restoration were carried out in 1987–88, funded by private grants and donations.</p><br>
