<p>Knickerbocker is a historic Beaux Arts building in the Cliff/Cannon neighborhood of Spokane, Washington. It was designed by architect Albert Held and was built in 1911. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Knickerbocker was financed by local civic leader and mining magnate Graham B. Dennis at a price of $200,000 in 1911. Architect Albert Held, who designed many other luxury apartment buildings of the day, was expected to produce the “finest apartment house west of New York.”</p><br>
<p>When the building opened in 1911 it was hailed as the grandest apartment home in the city, Residents had access to an in-house porter, chef and servants, for whom there were quarters in the building.</p><br>
<p>By the end of the 20th century and start of the 21st, however, the building had lost its original grandeur and fell into disrepair. Graffiti marked the outside walls and squatters lived inside them. In 2010, owners Eric and Mary Braden took over and began renovating the building. Additional resources for preservation were allocated in 2015 when the building was named to the Spokane Historic Register.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>Knickerbocker is a three-story, H-shaped building made of red brick with terra cotta trim. There are two courtyards inside the wings of the H-shape. The front courtyard is where the main entrance is located while the rear courtyard is a walled-off garden. The building is three stories tall plus a basement, which on the north side of the building is a daylight basement at street level due to the slope of Howard Street. The west side of the building, where the main entrance is located, has a highly embellished facade. The entrance itself is located within a portico with fluted columns of the Ionic order. The north face, along Fifth Avenue, also has a highly embellished facade. A cream colored terra cotta basement level with daylight windows extends along Fifth Avenue with red brick and terra cotta embellishment above. There are recessed balconies on the first, second and third stories which are flanked by, on the second and third stories, oriel windows which match those facing the front courtyard on the west face. The east face, part of which abuts an adjacent apartment building, and the south face, which looks out upon an alley, are plain red brick with little embellishment.</p><br>

<p>The San Marco is a historic Renaissance Revival apartment building in Downtown, Spokane, Washington that was built in 1904. It was designed by architect Albert Held. San Marco was listed on the USA National Register of Historic Places in 1987.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Built in 1904 by owner George C. Beck, who intended the San Marco to be, "one of the most elegant, expensive buildings" in the city and home to, "flats to lease to the upper crust." The intention to lease apartments to members of upper class society was one of the contributing factors to the San Marco, along with three other apartment buildings designed by Held in the first decade of the 20th century — Amman, Breslin and Knickerbocker — being listed on the NRHP together as part of a thematic group. There was a stigma against apartment homes for upper and middle class tenants at the time, but the housing shortage necessitated their construction. To alleviate the stigma, Held designed the San Marco like he did with other early apartment homes, to appear as if it was a grand hotel or exclusive club. The residential setting of the San Marco was also emphasized to help alleviate the stigma. It was set on the tree-lined Riverside Avenue, and an interior courtyard was included in the plans.</p><br>
<p>The San Marcos historic importance was recognized first in 1976, when it was listed on the NRHP as a contributing property in the Riverside Avenue Historic District, and then again in 1987 when it along with three of Helds other buildings were listed as individual properties on the NRHP.</p><br>
<p>Developer Ron Wells bought the San Marco, as well as seven other buildings within a one block radius of First and Cedar, in the 1980s. At the time, the area was considered undesirable and home to many vagrants. Wells renovated the San Marco, along with his other properties, in the 1980s and early 1990s. Renovation and preservation work on the San Marco and surrounding area helped spur massive investment in Downtown&#39;s west end, which continues into the 2020s.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>San Marco is a U-shaped building situated at the triangular intersection of Riverside Avenue and Sprague Avenue in the west end of Downtown Spokane and the western extremity of the Riverside Avenue Historic District. The two wings of the building, along Riverside and Sprague, surround an interior courtyard with an open end to the east. The Riverside wing is about 200 feet long while the Sprague wing is about 130 feet in length. It is a three-story building with a tan brick exterior above a similarly colored sandstone foundation.</p><br>

<p>Amman or Ammann, in the Browne&#39;s Addition neighborhood of Spokane, Washington is a building constructed in 1904. The building was listed on the USA National Register of Historic Places in 1987.</p><br>

<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In August 1903, the lot Amman stands on was sold to Caroline Ammann by the Northwestern and Pacific Hypotheekbank. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places as part of a thematic group containing San Marco, Breslin and Knickerbocker Apartment Buildings.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The two-story building sits on a tree lined street in Browne&#39;s Addition, the neighborhood has a uniquely residential feel considering its proximity to the city center. The lot to the west of the building is used for parking. Due to its location, the building offers views of the Spokane River. Of the buildings in the thematic group, the Amman Apartments had the simplest design, with a square footprint rather than the U, H and L shapes of the other apartment buildings built by Held. The building design can most easily be described as classical. The apartment units had clear delineation of living and entertainment spaces by use of narrow hallways in order to separate the design from common "railroad" plans. Another unique feature is that all rooms had an exterior view, instead of the common light court of the era. The common hallway features a large curved stairway and access to the balcony above the portico on the second story.</p><br>

<p>The Carnegie Public Library in Havre, Montana is a historic Carnegie library built in 1914 which was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986. It is in the Classical revival style. It was also known as the Havre Public Library and later as the Old Carnegie Library. In 2017 it is a former library building and is occupied by the Old Library Gallery.</p><br>
<p>Hopes for obtaining Carnegie funds for a library were expressed in the Milk River Eagle newspaper by 1901. A first library in Havre was started by 50 women who formed a Womens Club and subscribed for twenty-five cents per month. A room in the Havre Security State Bank was used to lend out its initial 200 donated books. The library moved to the Havre City Hall by 1906. The Havre Plaindealer newspaper noted that Glasgow, Montana, fifty miles away, successfully built a Carnegie library in 1908. By 1911 the womens club and others had lobbied for local tax funding to support a librarian, and the Havre Library Board lobbied the City Council to purchase land at 4th Avenue and 5th Street to build a library. (Having land and demonstrating community support/ability to maintain a library were requirement for Carnegie funding.) In 1913, $12,000 funding for construction was approved by Carnegie, and the building was built within a year.</p><br>
<p>In 2017, the current public library in Havre is the Havre-Hill County Library, located at 402 Third Avenue, about a block away.</p><br>
<p>The H. Earl Clack House is a historic house located at 532 Second Avenue in Havre, Montana. It is locally significant as a very good example of a classically inspired Georgian Revival dwelling. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on October 24, 1985.</p><br>

<p>The Bergland Administrative Site, also known as the Bergland Ranger Station, is a government administrative complex consisting of six buildings located along M-28 in Bergland, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2005,</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Around 1900, Gunlek A. Bergland purchased lands in this area for their timber. At first Bergland shipped logs east to another sawmill, but around 1903 established a new mill on Lake Gogebic, and renamed the small surrounding community after himself. The mill and its successors ran in Bergland until 1958. However, by the 1920s, much of the land in the area was cut over, and the United States Forest Service purchased large swaths here and in other places in the Upper Peninsula. The Ottawa National Forest was established in 1931 to manage the lands, with a supervisory office at Munising. In 1935, the office was moved to Ironwood. However, with the introduction of the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) to the forest, more localized offices were needed, and in the same year, seven district offices were established, including this one in Bergland.</p><br>
<p>The first ranger assigned to the site, Joseph "Popcorn" Blake, arrived in 1935 and lived in town until the site was ready. The site originally contained a Rangers Office and dwelling, a garage, an oil house and woodshed, a warehouse, a latrine, and a weather instrument station. The latter two structures have since been demolished. An Assistant Rangers dwelling was added in 1957, a small woodshed was constructed in 1979, and a pole shed was added in 1985.</p><br>
<p>However, when the ranger staff expanded to cover environmental monitoring and recreation, the site became obsolete. The station was closed in 1998. The Ottawa National Forest partnered with the Bergland Cultural & Heritage Center and The Bergland/Matchwood Historical Society Museum, who use the buildings on the site. In 2009, the Museum moved into the ranger house and garage. The Cultural & Heritage Center uses the office and the remainder of the buildings.</p><br>

<p>The Nacirema Club is a social club located at 6118 30th Street in Detroit, Michigan; it was the first African American social club in Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2011.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In the 1910s and 1920s, Detroit saw a substantial influx of African Americans moving from the southern states in hopes of finding employment. The growth of the African American community was so great that the Black Bottom district on the east side was no longer adequate. With the population pressure, Blacks began moving in substantial numbers to other parts of the city, including the area along Tireman Avenue. This neighborhood became a Black enclave through the middle of the century, with numerous single- and multi-family houses and vibrant commercial districts along Tireman and Grand River Avenue.</p><br>
<p>As the neighborhood grew, so did its social network. In 1922, Raymond H. Menard and Julian Archer founded the Nacirema Club as a place for well-to-do Black men to relax and network. The club was patterned after established White clubs in the city such as the Detroit Athletic Club and the Detroit Club. The name of the club is "American" spelled backwards, and is meant as a reminder that African Americans, even in this time of racial prejudice, are proud to be Americans. The club was officially incorporated in 1932, with 21 charter members, including doctors, lawyers, teachers, postal workers, and factory workers. Edgar Houston served as the first president.</p><br>
<p>In 1923 the club purchased a two-story brick house which had been built three years earlier and converted it into their clubhouse. Further alterations were made in 1937 and 1942, and in 1949 a one-story addition was constructed to the rear. The club had a ballroom, dining room, and a spacious lobby, and was used by the community for wedding receptions, proms, anniversary parties, and other social events. During its heyday, the highlight of the season was the club&#39;s "Nacirema Week", where the club hosted a racetrack party, boat ride, picnic, and dinner dance. The club continued to be a men-only club until 1998, when women were first admitted as members.</p><br>
<p>Although the surrounding neighborhood has fallen on hard times and club membership has dwindled, the Nacirema Club still exists.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The building housing the Nacirema Club is a two-story, four-square vernacular American Foursquare style house covered with reddish-brown brick. It has a shallow overhanging hipped roof with projecting dormers on each side. On the front façade, a similar hipped roof covers the front porch and entryway. First-floor windows in the front have been altered, with one window bricked in and a double window replaced with a picture window. Second-floor windows are double-hung windows with paned uppers.</p><br>
<p>The building is the most substantial structure on the block, and the only one with brick facing. Surrounding structures are smaller frame single-family homes, and what are now empty lots.</p><br>

<p>The Kalorama Triangle Historic District is a mostly residential neighborhood and a historic district in the northwest quadrant of Washington, D.C. The entire Kalorama Triangle neighborhood was listed on the District of Columbia Inventory of Historic Sites  and National Register of Historic Places  in 1987. In addition to individually listed landmarks in the neighborhood, the district is home to roughly 350 contributing properties. The neighborhood is roughly bounded by Connecticut Avenue to the west, Columbia Road to the east, and Calvert Street on the north.</p><br>
<p>The area was originally home to the Nacotchtank and Mattawoman tribes until the 17th-century when tracts of land were granted by Charles II of England. Land was deeded and tracts split until the present-day neighborhood was a tract named Widow&#39;s Mite. The tract was renamed to Kalorama, which means "nice view" in Greek, in 1807. The tract included not only Kalorama Triangle, but the area now known as the Sheridan-Kalorama Historic District. The two neighborhoods were eventually divided by Connecticut Avenue, which runs north from Dupont Circle to Woodley Park via the Taft Bridge. The two neighborhoods are still sometimes referred to together as "Kalorama Heights". For many years Kalorama Triangle was only inhabited by a few families living in large suburban-like houses.</p><br>
<p>When streetcars were installed on Connecticut Avenue and Columbia Road, development of the neighborhood grew rapidly. Although there were still stand-along house being constructed, most of the new housing consisted of rowhouses. There were also large, ornate apartment buildings constructed in the neighborhood, especially along Connecticut Avenue and Columbia Road. Within a few years, all of the lots had been developed and construction slowed down in the 1920s, when there was little land left to develop.</p><br>
<p>Historic preservationists worked with local officials to create the historic district, which was added to the DCIHS and NRHP in 1987. Before then, there were already three landmarks on the NRHP, including the Lothrop Mansion, the Fuller House, and the equestrian statue of George B. McClellan. The neighborhood is now considered a suburban-like oasis in a busy area of the city. The cohesiveness of the buildings, the quiet streets, the diversity of the population, and the easy access to restaurants and Washington Metro stations are the major factors for people living in the neighborhood.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>Kalorama Triangle is a mostly residential neighborhood in Washington, D.C.&#39;s northwest quadrant. The area of the neighborhood is approximately 51 acre. The surrounding neighborhoods are Adams Morgan to the north and east, Dupont Circle to the south, and Sheridan-Kalorama to the west. Rock Creek Park is also one of the northern boundaries. The street boundaries are roughly Connecticut Avenue to the west, Columbia Road to the east, and Calvert Street on the north.</p><br>
<p>The area has been called Kalorama Triangle since the mid 20th-century. The name derives from the Kalorama estate that was once located in the area during the 19th-century. The word, Kalorama, means "nice view" in Greek. The neighborhood is sometimes referred to as part of Adams Morgan or the larger Sheridan-Kalorama Historic District, located on the west side of Connecticut Avenue. Due to the geographic and street alignment, Kalorama Triangle developed into a neighborhood of its own.</p><br>
<p>The neighborhood is somewhat insulated by the surrounding commercial areas and features quiet, suburban-like streets in its interior. The western edge of the neighborhood is lined with grand apartment buildings until it reaches the Taft Bridge, which gives access to Woodley Park and other neighborhoods north of Rock Creek Park. The neighborhood features a few parks, including Kalorama Park, and three traffic island parks: Ann Hughes Hargrove Park; Biltmore Triangle Garden; and Major General George B. McClellan Park. Kalorama Park is 3 acre and located between 19th Street, Columbia Road, and the rear properties on Mintwood Place.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<h3>17th-and-18th-centuries</h3><br>
<p>The land comprising modern-day Kalorama Triangle was originally inhabited by Native American tribes, including the Nacotchtank and Mattawoman. In the 1600s, Charles II of England gave one of his former servants an estate in modern day Washington, D.C. A portion of the 600 acre tract was later called Widows Mite. Before the USA won its independence, Widows Mite was included in Prince Georges County, Maryland, beginning in 1696. When the surrounding area was planned as the nations capital in 1790, the land was included in Washington County, D.C. There was a manor house called Belair that was built in 1795 on the former Widow&#39;s Mite estate. This estate included the modern-day Kalorama Triangle and Sheridan-Kalorama neighborhoods. The name of the estate was changed by owner Joel Barlow to Kalorama in 1807 and remained so until the 1880s when the estate was sold and subdivided into different lots.</p><br>
<h3>19th-century</h3><br>
<h4>Early estates</h4><br>
<p>The first house built in modern-day Kalorama Triangle was Cliffbourne, where Cliffbourne Street is now located, between Biltmore and Calvert Streets. There was a winding road off Columbia Road, then called Taylor Lane, to reach the Cliffbourne estate. The site was owned or leased by several individuals in the 19th-century, including Colonel George Bomford and USA Representative Selah R. Hobbie. William Thornton wanted land in Kalorama Triangle and around 34 acre was deeded to him in 1817. He never lived on the property, and after his death, his widow sold the lot to brothers Christian and Matthew Hines. They built a modest-sized home, but after making poor financial investments, they defaulted on the land&#39;s mortgage payments.</p><br>
<p>The next owner was John Little, whose large house once stood where Kalorama Park is now located. Due to the growing size of his family, and the success of his businesses, Little kept expanding his estate. By the early 1860s, Little had the large house, a carriage house, a smaller house, and multiple industrial buildings on his estate. There were 17 slaves owned by Little and his relatives, all of whom were freed in 1862, due to legislative actions by Senator Henry Wilson and President Abraham Lincoln.</p><br>
<p>During the Civil War, a large influx of soldiers arrived to the city and its outlying areas. The Cliffbourne estate was commandeered and used as calvary barracks. The barracks became a large hospital for the Veteran Reserve Corps and captive Confederate Army soldiers in 1862. One civilian who would make frequent visits to the hospital was Walt Whitman, sitting with and talking to wounded soldiers. When Little died in 1876, his reported $1 million estate was left to his five daughters, including valuable land they later sold. In the last few decades of the 19th-century, Representative John B. Alley and Senator Lyman R. Casey owned the Cliffbourne estate. The last owner, inventor Marion C. Stone, died in 1899, the same year the Cliffbourne house was demolished.</p><br>
<h4>Development begins</h4><br>
<p>When the District of Columbia Organic Act of 1871 came into law, it extended the boundaries of the City of Washington to the present District of Columbia. Florida Avenue, originally known as Boundary Street, was just a few blocks south of Kalorama Triangle. Once the roads were improved, sewer lines installed, and lots plotted in the 1870s and 1880s, there was an increase in the neighborhood&#39;s development. Construction of a new Woodley Lane Bridge over Rock Creek along with extending Connecticut Avenue northward spurred further interest in Kalorama Triangle. Another development was creation of the Rock Creek Railway, which built a bridge crossing Rock Creek Park, and later merged with the Washington and Georgetown Railroad in 1895 to form the Capital Traction Company.</p><br>
<p>Despite the new bridge and widening of Columbia Road, real estate development was somewhat slow in Kalorama Triangle until the 1890s. This was due in part to the Panic of 1893 and Highway Act of 1893, which required L&#39;Enfant Plan street layouts to be followed in the former Washington County. After an exemption for existing neighborhoods began in 1898, development occurred quickly in Kalorama Triangle. Installation of streetcar lines built along Connecticut Avenue and Columbia Road also spurred development.</p><br>
<p>Around the turn of the century, Kalorama Triangle featured numerous large free-standing houses, including Managannsett, which stood at the intersection of Columbia Road and Wyoming Avenue. The residential character of the neighborhood soon changed, with rowhouses becoming predominant. Some of the earliest homes of this type were built on 19th Street, Biltmore Street, Calvert Street, Columbia Road, Kalorama Road, and Mintwood Place. There were still free-standing houses built during this time, including the Fuller House on Ashmead Place.</p><br>
<h3>20th-century</h3><br>
<h4>Further development</h4><br>
<p>The Taft Bridge, allowing Connecticut Avenue to cross Rock Creek Park, was the world&#39;s largest concrete bridge when completed. It led to further development in Kalorama Triangle and neighborhoods north of the bridge. By the first few years in the 1900s, all remaining lots had been subdivided. With the widening and northward placement of Connecticut Avenue, the two Kalorama neighborhoods became distinct, with affluent residents building homes in Sheridan-Kalorama, and mostly middle-class residents living in Kalorama Triangle.</p><br>
<p>The predominant architectural style for the homes built in the late 19th-century was Romanesque Revival, but in the early 20th-century, Georgian Revival was the more popular style. American Craftsman was also a common style during this period. Most of the homes built in the early 20th century were rowhouses, including over 100 built between 1902-1905. A house and statue completed in the 1900s formed the southern boundary of the neighborhood. The Beaux-Arts style Lothrop Mansion was constructed in 1908 and replaced an earlier house. The other southern boundary marker of the neighborhood is the equestrian statue of George B. McClellan, which was erected in 1907.</p><br>
<p>Some of the earlier houses built in the neighborhood were replaced with large, decorative apartment buildings in the 1900s-1920s. The Mendota, on 20th Street, was the first to be constructed in the neighborhood. It is one of 25 apartment buildings constructed in Kalorama Triangle between 1901-1927, mostly along Connecticut Avenue and Columbia Road due to access to streetcar lines. Some of the apartment buildings were luxurious and designed by the city&#39;s noted architects. Large apartment buildings including The Altamont, 2029 Connecticut Avenue, 2101 Connecticut Avenue, 2301 Connecticut Avenue, and The Woodward at 2311 Connecticut Avenue, were built along the neighborhoods major routes and catered to the upper middle class. During the 1930s, the Calvert Street Bridge, later renamed the Duke Ellington Bridge, replaced an older one that carried Calvert Street west over Rock Creek Park, giving access to Woodley Park and other neighborhoods further north and west.</p><br>
<p>There were mostly small commercial properties built along Columbia Road and Calvert Street during the 1930s, which were the last undeveloped lots in the Kalorama Triangle. Because of the somewhat rapid development of the neighborhood, the size and architectural styles used created a cohesive appearance.</p><br>
<h4>Historic preservation</h4><br>
<p>There were a few new buildings constructed in the neighborhood during the late 20th-century, including rowhouses that were demolished and replaced with modern buildings. To stop further demolition in the neighborhood, historic preservationists worked with local officials to create the Kalorama Triangle Historic District, which was listed on the District of Columbia Inventory of Historic Sites (DCIHS) on April 27, 1987, and the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) on May 4, 1987. Additional buildings and sites added to the DCIHS and NRHP include the Fuller House, the Lothrop Mansion, the Kalorama Park and Archeological District, and the statue of George B. McClellan. The Woodward at 2311 Connecticut Avenue was listed on the DCIHS in 1964.</p><br>
<p>Additional buildings in the historic district that are some of the 352 contributing properties include The Mendota (1901), The Woodley (1903), The Baltimore (1905), The Cliffbourne (1905), The Sterling (1905), The Knickerbocker (1909), The Airy View (1910), The Beacon (1910), The Biltmore (1913), The Altamont (1915), 2029 Connecticut Avenue (1915), The Carthage (1919), Park Crest (1922), The Melwood (1926), The Valley Vista (1927), 2101 Connecticut Avenue (1927), and The Mintwood (1929) Buildings that are not designated contributing properties include 36 buildings and 1 site. Examples include the parking lot behind 2005 Wyoming Avenue, 2012 Wyoming Avenue (1980s), 2027 Kalorama Road (1970s), 1925 Belmont Road (1960s), 2411 20th Street (1970s), 1809-1855 Biltmore Street (1970s), and 1945-1957 Calvert Street (1970s).</p><br>
<h3>21st-century</h3><br>
<p>An article in The Washington Post described Kalorama Triangle as a village within the city with an "old world vibe". The mixture of historic buildings, quiet streets, easy access to area restaurants and grocery stores, and diversity of its population has drawn in residents for decades. The fact several of the large apartment and co-op buildings have terraces overlooking the city has been a major selling point. The houses in the area are priced over $1 million, while the condominiums and co-ops can be even higher, depending on the building.</p><br>
<p>There is a Kalorama Citizens Association which helps maintain the neighborhood&#39;s parks, including Kalorama Park, where a community garden is located. The Association planted new trees and installed park benches to attract visitors to the park. Another article in The Washington Post described the neighborhood as a "nook of serenity tucked into a bustling city." Short distances to nearby Washington Metro stations is also mentioned as a perk of living in the neighborhood.</p><br>
<p>Carlos Avery Game Farm is a complex of 11 buildings at the Carlos Avery Wildlife Management Area in Minnesota, United States, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places . The buildings are the administrative center for the wildlife management area, which extends across a large part of Anoka and Chisago counties, as well as for a number of other Minnesota Department of Natural Resources properties in the area. The nomination for the NRHP noted that when it opened in 1937, it was one of the largest and best-equipped game farms in the nation, as well as one of the first large-scale wildlife management efforts in Minnesota.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The refuge was named after Carlos Avery (1868-1930), executive agent of the Minnesota Game and Fish Commission from 1907 to 1909 and 1915 to 1923. It was established with 8,000 acre obtained from the Crex Carpet Company. The carpet company had harvested a wire grass from the land for use in the manufacture of rugs. The land was tax forfeited in 1933 and then purchased by the Minnesota Conservation Commission. Carlos Avery game farms were formally opened and dedicated to the former game warden in 1938.</p><br>
<p>The land was ideal for production of bobwhite quail, which had been plentiful in Minnesota but was on the decline. In 1935, the United States government asked states to submit projects for relief of unemployment. The game refuge was approved by the Works Progress Administration and established by President Franklin Delano Roosevelt. The refuge was outfitted with five buildings, including a central heating plant and pumphouse, two houses, a combination barn/henhouse, and an incubation room. Other functional areas in the refuge included a sanctuary for wild birds and animals, a nursery, and room for public hunting.</p><br>
<p>Production of bobwhite quail began with 200 pairs of birds raised in a game farm in Mound, Minnesota. The first breeding resulted in 1879 birds, with 1000 of them retained for future breeding and the release of the rest. The bobwhite quail project continued until 1955. The refuge also hosted breeding for chukar partridge from 1939 through 1947, ring-necked pheasants from 1947 through 1981, and the reintroduction of the Canada goose from 1950 through 1970. In 1981, though, the management philosophy changed. The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources discontinued large-scale breeding programs and changed its focus to improving habitat and providing nesting cover and food. As of 2009, the wildlife management area contains a 4,500 acre sanctuary that is closed to all hunting and trespassing. Outside the sanctuary, the primary recreational opportunities include hunting for waterfowl, deer, and squirrels. It also provides trapping for mink, muskrats, raccoons, and beavers. More than 272 species of birds are attracted to the refuge, providing popular opportunities for bird watching.</p><br>

This structure did serve as an embassy, as it was intended, for a brief period of time, serving the Egyptian government.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>George Oakley Totten Jr., who was known as Washington&#39;s leading Beaux-Arts architect, designed this house in the Tudor Revival style. It was completed in 1923. The exterior features a scored stucco façade which is reminiscent of an English manor house. The front sports a large arched entrance portal and the building has panels of casement windows and cast stone quatrefoil ornamentation. The interior features a large central staircase, salons, ballroom, and a dining hall that is ornamented in the Tudor classical style.</p><br>
<p>O Street Market, also known as Northern Market, is a historic structure located at 1400 7th Street NW in the Shaw neighborhood of Washington, D.C. Built in 1881, it is one of three 19th-century public market buildings still standing in the city, along with Eastern Market and Georgetown Market. The market was listed on the District of Columbia Inventory of Historic Sites in 1968 and the National Register of Historic Places in 1995. The most distinctive architectural element of the Gothic Revival building is its corner tower on 7th and O Streets.</p><br>
<p>For decades, the market was a vital shopping destination for area residents. Following World War II, the market and surrounding neighborhood began to deteriorate. The building was slightly damaged during the 1968 Washington, D.C., riots, but was restored and reopened in 1980. Renovations were to begin in 2003, but in February of that year, the building&#39;s roof collapsed under snow following a historic blizzard. A decade later, the rehabilitated building reopened as part of a $325 million mixed-use development, City Market at O.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<h3>19th century</h3><br>
<p>Following the Civil War, local government officials led by Board of Public Works head Alexander "Boss" Shepherd sought to change the image of Washington, D.C., as a small, unattractive city. Among the many improvements Shepherd planned was the replacement of the city&#39;s existing public markets with new, brick facilities in heavily populated neighborhoods. One of the older markets, Northern Liberties Market at Mount Vernon Square, was razed in 1872. Many vendors refused to leave the market and several were killed during the demolition. With the help of businessmen, other vendors started the Northern Liberty Market Company (NLMC), which in 1875 opened a new public market at 5th and K Streets NW, in what is the present-day Mount Vernon Triangle neighborhood.</p><br>
<p>Shepherd nevertheless moved ahead with plans for a city-owned public market, and allocated land for the facility on the southwest corner of Square 446 (a city block bounded by 6th, 7th, O, and P Streets NW).</p><br>
<p>The Northern Liberties Market struggled financially, as many residents found it too far from the commercial district on 7th Street. The NLMC sought to relocate, and in 1881 purchased the southwest corner of Square 422 (a city block bounded by 7th, 8th, O, and P Streets NW). Butcher Michael Hoover owned Square 422 in the early 1800s and sold it to printer Andrew Rothwell about 1845. Rothwell made many improvements to the property and added gardens which became popularly known as Rothwells Gardens. The NLMC applied for building permits for a $15,000 ($ in dollars), one-story brick building on May 31, 1881. The permit was signed by NLMC president Jesse B. Wilson. The new building was named O Street Market to avoid confusion with the companys other markets.</p><br>
<h3>20th century</h3><br>
<p>The area surrounding the O Street Market, known as Shaw, was demographically mixed. The white population included a large number of German immigrants, many of whom were vendors at the market. 7th Street NW was the heart of the city&#39;s Jewish community, and a significant number of African Americans lived in the neighborhood. The market continued to thrive even as the demographic and retail nature of the area neighborhood dramatically changed. By the 1920s, Shaw was overwhelmingly black, black vendors had supplanted the German American retailers at the market, and black-owned and operated businesses formed new retail corridors along 7th, 9th, and 14th Streets between P and U Streets. The market and Shaw neighborhood both deteriorated after World War II. By the 1960s, the market faced heavy competition from modern grocery stores and fell into disrepair. Local residents picketed the market, which led the city to enforce cleanliness regulations and building codes at the facility.</p><br>
<p>In 1966, the District of Columbia, the National Capital Planning Commission, and the Redevelopment Land Agency (RLA; a joint city-federal agency overseeing redevelopment in the city) announced the establishment of the Shaw Urban Renewal Area. The 1968 riots caused only minor damage to the building, but the market did not reopen afterward. The closure of the market and many other nearby businesses caused a widespread decline in the neighborhood, and left local residents without easy access to retail establishments. In 1972, the Council of the District of Columbia approved a $30.4 million ($ million in dollars) plan which, in part, provided for the purchase the O Street Market and its demolition. A modern shopping mall was planned for the site.</p><br>
<p>The RLA purchased the property from the NLMC. Although neighborhood residents wanted the market torn down, the RLA declined to order its destruction. In 1974, the RLA proposed renovating the O Street Market and making it the retail centerpiece of a revived Shaw neighborhood. The agency awarded a $338,974 ($ in dollars) contract in June 1974 to the firm of James Cox & Sons to renovate the structure.</p><br>
<p>In 1977, local African American entrepreneur James C. Adkins purchased the market and the rest of Square 422 for $200,000 ($ in dollars).</p><br>
<p>Adkins began construction on a modern grocery store next to the O Street Market, and won a $1.75 million ($ million in dollars) loan from the federal Economic Development Administration to help renovate the 1881 market building. Adkins said he would add stalls inside and outside the market and lease them to food and other vendors. Renovation of the historic structure was more costly than anticipated, and Adkins was forced to seek an additional $300,000 ($ in dollars) in 1979 to complete its rehabilitation. Adkins, who had also purchased Square 426, successfully petitioned the National Capital Planning Commission to close 8th Street between P and O Streets NW. Adkins planned to turn the street into a pedestrian mall, parking lot, and landscaped area. Giant Food opened on October 10, 1979, and the O Street Market reopened on February 23, 1980.</p><br>
<p>On March 31, 1994, during the two-decade crime wave of the 1980s and 1990s, the O Street Market was the site of a deadly shooting rampage. Seventeen-year-old Kevin Aaron McCrimmon paid five young men to kill 15-year-old Duwan AVant, who was known to frequent the market, because AVant had reportedly stolen a car from McCrimmon. At around 7pm, the five men entered the market and fired more than 30 rounds, killing A&#39;Vant and wounding eight others (including a toddler and two elderly women). Although there were 399 homicides in the city that year, the event shocked residents because it was such a brazen attack in a public place.</p><br>
<p>By the late 1990s, the O Street Market had once more become dilapidated. The structure fell into disrepair, trash collected around the building, many vendors were squatters without leases, and drug dealers and gang members loitered nearby, driving customers away. The building&#39;s owner fell behind on tax payments, and the city threatened to place a lien on the building and foreclose.</p><br>
<p>Because O Street Market is one of only three 19th-century public market buildings remaining in Washington, D.C., it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on April 28, 1995. It was previously added to the District of Columbia Inventory of Historic Sites on July 24, 1968.</p><br>
<h3>21st century</h3><br>
<p>In 2001, local firm Roadside Development purchased the building with plans to rehabilitate the facility along with the Madison Retail Group. They proposed the partial closure of a 40-foot-wide (12 m) plaza on 8th Street to be replaced with a sidewalk, parking lot, and retail space, and for the addition of new windows in the walls. The D.C. Historic Preservation Review Board refused to authorize these changes, but the renovation of the interior was approved. The last tenants, consisting of small restaurants and shops, vacated the structure in late 2002 in preparation for remodeling set to begin in March or April 2003. On February 18, 2003, following a historic blizzard, the roof collapsed.</p><br>
<p>Redevelopment of the O Street Market was delayed for two years as the developers sought to meet the demands imposed by the Historic Preservation Review Board.</p><br>
<p>Roadside Development proposed a significantly expanded redevelopment in June 2004 that included most of Square 422. The company determined that the only way to make the O Street Market viable was to greatly enhance parking at the site. It could not do so without building extensive underground parking, and to build the parking garage would require construction of new buildings adjacent to the O Street Market and the Giant Food grocery store. The company initially proposed a $100 million project consisting of new construction and renovations which would add condominiums, apartments, a two-story underground parking garage, and either a new or renovated grocery store. By March 2005, when Roadside Development won its first design and zoning approval reviews, the plan had expanded into a $260 million project which included a 180-room hotel, 300 condominiums, 300 apartments, 700 underground parking spaces, and 7,500 ft&sup2; of new retail space. The O Street Market would be restored, renovated and incorporated into a new 65,000 ft&sup2; Giant Food store. The proposal also called for the city to reopen 8th Street NW.</p><br>
<p>The O Street Market redevelopment received a setback in November 2007 when the District of Columbia Zoning Commission demanded that the development reduce the height of the new buildings to 90 ft from 110 ft and refused to reconsider its decision. Local residents denounced the zoning board&#39;s actions, which they perceived as imperiling redevelopment of their poverty-stricken neighborhood. After Roadside met the height requirements by removing penthouse apartments, the zoning commission approved the project in late March 2008. The project received its final approvals from the Historic Preservation Review Board and the D.C. Office of Planning in April and May 2008.</p><br>
<p>By mid-summer 2008, the cost of the project had grown to $325 million. Now named "City Market at O", the nine-story development included over 600 units of housing, a 200-room hotel, retail space, and a new Giant supermarket almost doubling the size of the existing store. Mayor Adrian Fenty announced the city government would provide $35 million in tax increment financing (TIF) and plans were made to break ground in late 2009. The city also contributed $1 million toward the construction of the rent-controlled apartments for low-income residents, and $1.5 million in pre-development grants. Rising costs and delays pushed the projects cost higher, and by the time the city council acted, the citys TIF commitment had risen to $46.5 million.</p><br>
<p>The official City Market groundbreaking ceremony was held September 1, 2010. The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) provided a $117 million loan for the development and the Obama administration chose City Market at O as one of 14 nationwide projects to receive expedited permitting and environmental reviews in order to provide hundreds of infrastructure jobs. The Giant Food store closed and was razed in mid-2011, and Cambria Suites agreed to operate the hotel in October. The project was designed by Shalom Baranes Associates</p><br>
<p>The new development opened in stages beginning in 2013. The 90-unit low-income senior housing apartment complex opened on August 21, 2013, and the 555-unit luxury apartment building was occupied on November 4. Progressive Grocer, an industry trade journal, gave an award for best overall design to the new Giant Food store in 2014. In 2015, City Market at O was a winner of the Urban Land Institute&#39;s Global Awards for Excellence competition. The 182-room Cambria Suites hotel</p><br>
<h2>Original design</h2><br>
<p>O Street Market previously consisted of between 12,000 ft&sup2; and 12,500 ft&sup2; on the main level and a 4,500 ft&sup2; basement. The facade of the original one-story, rectangular brick building is 95 ft wide and 150 ft long. The most distinctive feature of this Gothic Revival section is the square tower on the northwest corner of 7th and O Streets NW. A gable roof and a monitor run the length of the remaining portion of the original facade. Including the tower, there are six bays on the 7th Street facade and five on the O Street facade. On the 7th Street facade, each bay features a pair of doors and transom windows. The bays on the O Street facade also have double doors and transom windows, except for the central bay, which projects and features a large window. The second and fourth bay transom windows on the O Street facade are surmounted by double-hung windows.</p><br>
<p>The tower is crowned with a large pyramidal roof and dormers. On each street-facing facade of the tower there are two sets of doors with large transom windows. Each set of doors is framed by columns topped with cast iron foliate capitals. The columns support a projection that features decorative brickwork and a segmental arch. The windows on the second level of the tower are surmounted by a decorative wood panel and corbelled cornice.</p><br>
<p>The Park Tower is an historic structure located in the Meridian Hill neighborhood of Washington, D.C. It has been listed on the District of Columbia Inventory of Historic Sites since 1988 and it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>William Harris designed the structure, which was completed in 1929. It was one of the first buildings in the city to break away from the Beaux-Arts and Colonial Revival styles that predominated in Washington architecture up to that time. The building was home to congressmen, professionals and other notable people in the 1930s and illustrates the desire to maintain Sixteenth Street as fashionable street on which to reside.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The five-story structure features an irregular plan with a ziggurat-like main façade. The rooftop loggia rises above squared bays. The exterior is a series of repetitive bays covered in golden buff-colored brick. The building also features limestone and patterned brick with chevron, diaper and oak leaf motifs.</p><br>
<p>Seventh Street Savings Bank is an historic structure located in the Shaw neighborhood of Washington, D.C. It has been listed on the District of Columbia Inventory of Historic Sites since 2002 and it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2003.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The bank was an independent neighborhood bank that formed in 1912. Alfred Rich & Alphonsus FitzSimons designed the building that was finished the following year. The two-story building had apartments upstairs. More apartments and commercial space was located in an adjacent wing that has subsequently been torn down. The apartments and commercial space were necessary to make the small institution feasible. The bank failed in the Banking Crisis of 1933. It was one of eight banks that merged and formed Hamilton National Bank. The structure is the last building in a one-time vibrant commercial block.</p><br>
