<p>Shaw Junior High School, now known as Asbury Dwellings, is a historic structure located in the Shaw neighborhood of Washington, D.C. It has been listed on the District of Columbia Inventory of Historic Sites and on the National Register of Historic Places since 2008.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The school was named after Robert Gould Shaw, who led the 54th Massachusetts Infantry Regiment, one of the first official African American units during the American Civil War.</p><br>
<p>From 1902 until 1928 the building housed the William McKinley Manual Training School. It was a school for white students and opened the same time as Armstrong Manual Training School for African Americans. They were part of an educational trend that began in the late 19th century of developing schools that taught industrial education along with the more traditional academic curriculum that prepared students for college. When McKinley moved to a larger campus in 1928 the building became Robert Gould Shaw Junior High School, which had previously opened for black students on M Street in 1921. The new Shaw was also a blacks-only school until segregation ended, but it remained primarily African-American. The school became overcrowded and poorly maintained. As it started to deteriorate the building was referred to as “Shameful Shaw.” It was illustrative of the city&#39;s neglect of African Americans. In 1977, Shaw was moved to a new school at 9th Street and Rhode Island Avenue NW. In 2008, Shaw again moved, this time to the Garnet-Patterson school building at 10th and V Streets NW, where it became known as Shaw Middle School at Garnet-Patterson. In 2013, Shaw at Garnet-Patterson closed due to low enrollment following the murder of its principal, Brian Betts.</p><br>
<p>Shaw had a prolific music program with its band marching in the Macys parade, the Rose Bowl and the Gimbels parade in Philadelphia, PA. The band was directed by Mr. Lloyd Hoover. The old Shaw Junior High building now houses apartments.</p><br>
<h2>Name of Shaw neighborhood</h2><br>
<p>Until the 1960s, what is now Shaw was called Midcity. In 1966, planners used the enrollment boundary of Shaw Junior High School to define the Shaw School Urban Renewal Area – which created a concept of a "Shaw neighborhood" larger than what is generally considered Shaw today, covering today&#39;s core Shaw neighborhood, the U Street Corridor, Logan Circle and Truxton Circle.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The building was designed by architect Henry Ives Cobb. It is part of the city&#39;s effort to hire private architects to improve the designs of public schools. The exterior is composed of buff-colored brick and limestone trim. It features an arcade of Romanesque arches on the third floor.</p><br>
<p>The Tenth Precinct Station House is an historic structure located in the Park View neighborhood of Washington, D.C. United States. The building was designed by the architectural firm of A.B. Mullett & Co. and was completed in 1905. It was constructed for Metropolitan Police Department.</p><br>
<p>It has been listed on the District of Columbia Inventory of Historic Sites and the National Register of Historic Places since 1986.</p><br>
<p>The Lee County Courthouse features two courthouse buildings constructed at 15 East Chestnut Street in Marianna, Arkansas, United States, the county seat of Lee County. The original courthouse was a wooden at the corner of Poplar and Mississippi streets built in 1873 when Marianna became the county seat of Lee County. and Art Deco styles.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Marianna moved south 3 mi onto the banks of the L&#39;Anguille River in 1869 and is centrally located within Lee County. A red brick courthouse was built in 1890 while the city thrived on the cotton industry. This building became too small and was expanded with the help of Federal Emergency Administration of Public Works funds. Rather than expanding, the county chose to construct a new two-story addition of new materials in a new style in the 1930s, which dwarfed the former structure.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The Lee County Courthouse is a late example of the Classical Revival style, a style which had largely died out by 1920. The columns, entablature, and pilasters typical of a classical revival building are present, if not subdued by the art deco influence.</p><br>
<p>The Ethel S. Roy House is a historic building identified simply as Vernacular Frame House when listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982 as part of the Red Lion Hundred Multiple Resource Area.</p><br>
<p>The house was built c. 1868 by a former slave and was singled out for historic preservation in an effort to counteract the bias that only homes of the affluent are recognized as being historically significant. It represents a working man&#39;s home in a labor-intensive agricultural society and has had few alterations since it was built.</p><br>
<p>Red Lion Hundred is an area of New Castle County, Delaware roughly equivalent in size and function to a township. It was settled in the seventeenth century, with the soil being ruined by intensive tobacco cultivation by 1800. A "peach boom" lasted from about 1830 to 1870 until a blight called "the yellows" destroyed the peach crops. Slavery provided labor in the area until the American Civil War.</p><br>
<p>The Roy House was built soon after the Civil War by a former slave, whose granddaughter lived in the house until at least 1979. It is located just north of the unincorporated village of Saint Georges, Delaware, on a 150-foot square plot of land once owned by the locally prominent Sutton family.</p><br>
<p>It is a wooden frame two-story, two-bay house with gabled roof which had a small enclosed front porch.</p><br>
<p>Photographs taken in 1970 or 1979 show a simple building with wooden siding, a tin roof, six-over-six windows, and an interior chimney on the south end. The single decorative item appears to be a "gothic" attic window with a "pointed arch" above a rectangular window. A photograph from 2011 shows that the roof, siding and windows have been recently replaced, the porch opened up, and the chimney removed.</p><br>
<p>The Addison Kimball House in Madison, Ohio is a house with corner post construction on a fieldstone foundation that was built in 1815. It appears to be a -story house but is a full two-story house on the inside. It was built by Addison Kimball, son of Lemuel Kimball. Addison was the first homebuilder in Madison; this house is notable as the only house that can definitely be attributed to him.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.</p><br>
<p>The Ontonagon County Courthouse is a government building located at 601 Trap Street in Ontonagon, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Ontonagon County was created in 1843 from the southwestern portion of Houghton County. However, the site of the current county seat was not decided until 1858, and a decision to build a proper courthouse was not made until 1884. Ten years later in 1896, a disastrous fire destroyed most of the city, including this courthouse. However, the foundation and brick walls were salvaged, and the interior was redesigned and rebuilt. The near-destruction of Ontonagon came at a tumultuous time in Ontonagon County&#39;s history, soon after a portion of the county split off to form Gogebic County and while another section of Ontonagon was considering doing the same. Reconstruction of the town, its port, and the courthouse pulled the citizens of the county together.</p><br>
<p>An addition to the courthouse was built in 1937. As of 1980, the county built a new courthouse and the old one is no longer in use. The old court house is in private hands, and as of 2016 was owned by Jason Pragacz.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Ontonagon County Courthouse is a two-story Romanesque Revival structure, built of brick on a sandstone foundation. Three sides have similar facades a central entrance in a gabled pavilion flanked by tall double-hung windows. The stone window lintels form part of a beltcourse that circles the building. A bay window is above the entrance, and the hipped roof has projecting dormers and a glass-roofed dome at the peak. The rear sports a rectangular addition.</p><br>
<p>Spencer Carriage House and Stable is an historic structure located in the Dupont Circle neighborhood of Washington, D.C.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The building is the work of master builder John McGregor and was completed in 1905. It was built to service the residence of Southern Railway president Samuel Spencer. The two-story structure features modest brick detailing, a hipped roof, and cupolas. The building has housed a nightclub and is now a private residence. It has been listed on the District of Columbia Inventory of Historic Sites since 1995 and it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1996. It is a contributing property in the Dupont Circle Historic District.</p><br>
<p>M Street High School, also known as Dunbar High School, is a historic former school building located in the Northwest Quadrant of Washington, D.C. It has been listed on the District of Columbia Inventory of Historic Sites since 1978 and it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986. The building escaped demolition with community support and the efforts of preservationists and is now a community center.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The school was founded in 1870 as the Washington High School for Colored Youth, also called Washington High School.</p><br>
<p>Between 1870 and 1891 the school was located in several makeshift locations. In 1890, Congress appropriated $112,000 to build a permanent school and the building on M Street was then designed by Thomas Entwistle from the Office of Building Inspector and built from 1890–1891.</p><br>
<p>It was one of the nations first high schools for African Americans and represents an important development of Washingtons education system. The African American community had to fight for quality education in the city. The dual school system created disparities in facilities, grounds, architectural design and size. However, the school provided a rigorous curriculum and an extraordinary faculty because of the limited professional opportunities for African Americans. Principals at the school included Francis L. Cardozo, Sr., Robert H. Terrell and Anna J. Cooper. Among the many teachers was Carter G. Woodson who taught French, Spanish, English, and history, and Christian Fleetwood, a recipient of the Medal of Honor. The school produced a high percentage of college graduates, sending graduates to Harvard, Yale, and Brown, among other places, and its alumni included many prominent educators and public figures.</p><br>
<p>The high school was moved to a new building on a different site in 1916, when it was renamed Dunbar High School after the famous African-American poet Paul Laurence Dunbar. In 1919, the 128 M Street school building became the home of the M Street Junior High School, which was renamed Shaw Junior High School in 1921. Then in 1928, Shaw moved to the Mckinley Manual Technical School building at 7th and Rhode Island Avenue, NW.</p><br>
<p>From 1929 to 1932, the M Street High School building was used to house students from Cardozo High School. In 1932 it became M Street Junior High School, later named Terrell Junior High School. In 1952 it was renamed again as the Leon L. Perry Middle School, named for a principal, supervising principal and school board member of the black school system from 1914-1945. In 1954 the school was integrated. Shortly thereafter it was closed.</p><br>
<p>The building continued to find new life. In the 1960s it was used as a homeless shelter and food distribution center. In 1978 it was nominated for landmark status. At the time it was slated to be torn down to create a playground for students from nearby Terrell Junior High School, but following the landmark nomination the school board instead decided to preserve it.</p><br>
<p>In the 1980s the city tried to sell it to developers, but the local community sought to preserve it as a community asset. In 1986 it was placed on the National Register of Historic Places and in 1989, the D.C. school board approved the use of the vacant Perry School for a community service center.</p><br>
<p>In 1998 the building became home of the Perry School Community Services, Inc, a non-profit health and community service center.</p><br>

<p>Gen. Robert MacFeely House is a historic residence located at 2015 I St., Northwest, Washington, D.C.</p><br>
<p>The house was built around 1860 and was altered between 1881 and 1929. It has been listed on the District of Columbia Inventory of Historic Sites since 1983 and it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989. The building now serves the Arts Club of Washington.</p><br>
<p>The McLachlen Building is a historic structure located in Downtown Washington, D.C. It has been listed on the District of Columbia Inventory of Historic Sites since 1985, and it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The building was built to house a family-run bank that was organized in 1887, and was developed through a real estate investment partnership. It was built from 1910 to 1911 and was altered in a renovation from 1988 to 1989. The banking room, which is still in existence, is on the main floor of the building and has rental office spaces above.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The building was designed by prominent Washington architect Jules Henri de Sibour in the Classical Revival style with elements of the Chicago School. The nine-story structure occupies a corner lot. The exterior of the building is faced with ornamented marble and glazed terra cotta with textured spandrels. It features a Doric entrance and an exuberant cornice.</p><br>
<p>The Shilling–Lamb House, also sometimes referred to as Victoria House, is located on North Second Street in Aspen, Colorado, United States. It is a wood frame structure in the Queen Anne architectural style built around 1890. In 1987 it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>It is unique among Aspen&#39;s Queen Anne houses both for its minimal decoration and its corner tower. The name comes from its first two occupants. In the later 20th century it was the home of Edgar Stanton, a cofounder of the Aspen Music Festival and School who established its training program for recording engineers. It has remained a private residence, largely intact from the time of its construction.</p><br>
<h2>Building</h2><br>
<p>The house is located on the north fringe of Aspen&#39;s residential West End, on the west side of North Second between West Smuggler Street and Lake Avenue. It is surrounded by other houses, most of a more modern construction, but another surviving Victorian residence, the Newberry House, also listed on the Register, is located a block to the east. Tall mature trees provide shade throughout the neighborhood, which has generally level terrain, sloping very slightly to the Roaring Fork River to the north. Across the street a small playground faces the house on an otherwise undeveloped triangular lot.</p><br>
<p>A plain wooden picket fence sets off the house from the street. It is a two-story wood frame house on a high sandstone foundation. It is mostly sided with clapboard except in the fields of its cross-gabled roofs, which use wood "dog-ear" shingles, common in the city. On the southeast corner is a large octagonal tower with a conical roof. Like the main block its roof is shingled.</p><br>
<p>North of the tower a porch runs across the east (front) facade at the first story. It has a shed roof supported by wooden piers with decorative woodwork between them, crossed by a gable sheltering the main entrance. An open porch is located along the rear. All windows are one-over-one double-hung sash windows, except for the second story of the northeast facet of the tower, which has a single-pane window. A small louvered vent is in the uppermost cross-gable field.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Arthur Shilling built the house around 1890. At the time, Aspen was a booming mining town that had barely been much more than a primitive encampment of tents and log cabins a decade earlier. Fortunes were being made from the abundant silver lodes in the neighboring mountains, and many who had earned them put some of them into building lavish houses for themselves.</p><br>
<p>Many of those houses were erected in the undeveloped West End, which had long been platted and drawn up with a grid plan for its streets. Shilling, a dry goods store owner, chose a lot near the north side for his home. It was fairly unrestrained in its application of the contemporary Queen Anne style, with nested and cross-gabling creating a complex interplay of forms, and a signature tower attached to the house. That, and its relatively plain facades, distinguished it from some of other surviving Queen Annes in the city, like the Smith–Elisha House on West Main Street (also listed on the National Register) and the Ola Case House on West Francis Street.</p><br>
<p>Three years later, the Panic of 1893 led Congress to repeal the Sherman Silver Purchase Act, which had sustained Aspens growth by requiring the government to buy silver to support the dollar. Mines closed, people left Aspen for opportunities elsewhere. This began a long period of the citys history known as the "quiet years", marked by a constantly declining population and economic hardship. Five years later, Albert Lamb, who had come from Leadville in 1887 and established a successful drugstore, bought Shilling&#39;s house.</p><br>
<p>During the quiet years, many of the buildings from the city&#39;s prosperous beginnings fell vacant, often becoming the property of Pitkin County due to tax foreclosures. With no money available to maintain them, they succumbed to either fires or the effects of the severe Rocky Mountain winters at almost 8,000 ft above sea level.</p><br>
<p>At some point during this time, the house was modified slightly. Some of the windows were expanded. Finials were removed from the tower and roof. The rear porch, original covered by a gabled roof supported by turned wooden columns, was extended and its roof removed.</p><br>
<p>The quiet years came to an end just before the middle of the 20th century, after World War II. Skiing enthusiasts had begun developing trails on the nearby mountains in the late 1930s, and returned to continue their work a decade later. The new Aspen Skiing Company received a boost from investments by Walter Paepcke, a Chicago executive who, along with his wife Elizabeth, saw in Aspen the perfect place to establish a classical music festival in the USA to rival Salzburg.</p><br>
<p>The Paepckes bought most of the old houses and commercial properties in Aspen with the intent of restoring them. Among their purchases was the Shilling—Lamb house. They in turn sold it to Francis and Edgar Stanton and their wives in 1950. The Stantons had been taken with Aspen four years earlier and were spending more time there, eventually becoming full-time residents.</p><br>
<p>Along with the Paepckes, Edgar Stanton was a founding board member of the Aspen Music Festival and School. He had worked in audio engineering during the war, and established the Edgar Stanton Audio Recording Institute in the early 1950s to complement the music festival and train engineers. He soon developed new property of his own on the mountains across the Roaring Fork, and sold his share of the house to his brother and sister-in-law. Francis Stanton sold it in 1958, also to move to house on the slopes of Red Mountain.</p><br>
<p>The Mullett Rowhouses are historic structures, located at 2517, 2519 and 2525 Pennsylvania Ave. Northwest, Washington, D.C., in the West End neighborhood.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Alfred B. Mullett designed these speculative luxury townhouses. Completed in 1889 in the Queen Anne style, the buildings are faced in red brick. Mullet, a prominent Washington architect who was responsible for the State, War, and Navy Building, was said to have committed suicide as a result of the financial difficulties associated with this project.</p><br>
<p>It has been listed on the District of Columbia Inventory of Historic Sites since 1990 and it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1994.</p><br>

<p>The Ontonagon Harbor Piers Historic District is historic shipping structure located on the Ontonagon River at Lake Superior in Ontonagon, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2001.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In 1860, the Army Corps of Engineers began designing pier structures in Ontonagon at the mouth of the river. The initial construction of the Ontonagon piers was carried out during 1868-1872 The inner 1069 feet of the west pier, constructed of wood pilings filled with stone, dates from this time. Over the next 20 years, another 1770 feet of the east pier and 1398 feet of the west pier was constructed, and a pierhead light was installed on the west pier. In addition, the inner 545 ft of the east pier was reconstructed; all of these pier structures were of rock-filler timber cribs.</p><br>
<p>In the 1920 and 1930s, a stone superstructure was built over sections of both piers, and a concrete cap was constructed on the inner 1,069 feet of the west pier. In 1947, the west pierhead was rebuilt, and in 1883 various structural improvements were made.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The shipping channel between the piers is 150 feet wide and 15–17 feet deep. The east and west entrance piers are 2,315 feet and 2,563 feet long, respectively. A flared approach channel extends 850 feet to deep water. The inner basin is 900 feet long and 12 feet deep. The Ontonagon harbor is the only refuge for small craft between the Keweenaw Waterway upper entrance and Black River Harbor.</p><br>

<p>Erected between 1852 and 1854, this historic railroad station building is a three-story, three-bay-by-six-bay, rectangular frame building with a flat roof that was built by the Hanover Branch Railroad. It remained in service until the 1920s.</p><br>
<p>In April 1853, "The Accommodation Train" operated every day except Sundays by the Baltimore and Susquehanna Railroad, logging arrivals and departures between the Hanover Junction Railroad Station and Baltimore, Maryland.</p><br>
<p>In mid-December 1858, the Gettysburg Railroad was opened for business, beginning with two trains leaving the Carlisle Street train depot in Gettysburg daily, one 7:00 a.m. departure connecting "Hanover Junction with the up-train, for York, Harrisburg, Columbia, and Philadelphia," and a "down-train" departure from Hanover Junction at 12:45 p.m. which took passengers to Baltimore.</p><br>
<p>By the spring of 1859, express and mail train operations between Hanover Junction and Baltimore were in full swing.</p><br>
<h3>American Civil War</h3><br>
<p>Following the fall of Fort Sumter in mid-April 1861, during the opening months of the American Civil War, the Hanover Junction Railroad Station became a key transportation hub for the movement of Union Army soldiers from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania to Maryland, Washington, D.C. and other areas in the southern United States where federal troops were stationed to protect cities, towns, and critical infrastructure points endangered by Confederate States Army incursions. Train traffic through Hanover Junction then continued to grow as horses and supplies were added to the increasing number of Union soldiers being transported as the war turned into a multi-year conflict.</p><br>
<p>The Battle of Gettysburg was then waged between July 1 and 3. Following the Union Army&#39;s victory, which helped turn the tide of war in favor of the federal government, Hanover Junction became a critical hub for transporting thousands of wounded soldiers from the battlefield aide stations where they had received immediate lifesaving care to federal military hospitals in Baltimore, Harrisburg, York, and other northern towns, which had significantly better access to advanced medical treatment options for the severe traumatic injuries that many of the soldiers had received.</p><br>
<p>Between November 18 and 19, 1863, President Abraham Lincoln traveled through Hanover Junction to and from the dedication ceremonies for the Gettysburg National Cemetery. A series of photographs taken around this time are believed, by some historians, to have captured Lincoln standing on the station&#39;s platform; however, other historians have disputed this claim, citing the travel schedules of Lincoln, his bodyguard Ward Lamon, and others who traveled separately from Lincoln as proof that the photos do not show Lincoln waiting for a train.</p><br>
<p>In February 1864, members of the Pennsylvania Legislature debated requiring the Hanover Branch Railroad to improve its infrastructure and passenger train service between Hanover Junction and the borough of Hanover.</p><br>
<h3>Post-Civil War to early 1900s</h3><br>
<p>In May 1865, the Northern Central Railway completed construction of a double track between Baltimore and Hanover Junction. A new coaling depot that would service freight engines at Hanover Junction was also erected.</p><br>
<p>Later that same year, on November 22, a Baltimore Express train scheduled to arrive Pittsburgh derailed near Hanover Junction. The train&#39;s engine, two passenger cars and a baggage car were destroyed, the brakeman was mortally wounded and several passengers sustained minor injuries.</p><br>
<h3>Recent history</h3><br>
<p>This railroad station building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<p>The station now houses a museum with Civil War images, models of the various configurations of the building over the years, memorabilia, and other displays. It is also a restroom stop for the York County Heritage Rail Trail, a bicycle and walking path which parallels the old tracks of the Northern Central Railway.</p><br>
<p>The Alton Chapter House is a historic building located at 509 Beacon St. in Alton, Illinois. The building was constructed between 1909 and 1910 as a meetinghouse for Altons chapter of the American Womans League.

<p>Dills Tavern, also known as Eichelbergers Tavern and The Logan House, is a historic site located at Dillsburg, Pennsylvania. The Irish settler Matthew Dill began establishing the Monaghan settlement in 1742 which later boasted a wooden tavern or way-station with the same name, productive agricultural yields, and a whiskey still. The 190 acre plantation grew to encompass 650 acres located just south of the Dills Gap on the northern end of the South Mountain range between what is Cumberland County and York County. Matthew Dills son James Dill inherited the property after his fathers death in 1742 and expanded on his fathers business. James Dills son, John Dill, was transferred 393 acres of the 650 acre plantation in 1784. John Dill later constructed the stone Tavern in 1794 to replace the old tavern that was probably made of wood. John Dill expanded production on the plantation to have a stable for herders and drovers moving livestock, two log barns, a granary, bakehouse, and spring house including improved lodging accommodations for travelers. The property was deeded to Leonard Eichelberger in 1800 that later expanded and tripled the size of the original stone Tavern built by John Dill and continued to run the distillery and tavern as well as his wagon building and wheelwright business on the plantation. Today, the Dills Tavern stands as is a large, 2 ⁄2-story, L-shaped sandstone building in a vernacular Federal style.

<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>According to architectural historian B. Raid, who prepared the nomination form to secure the placement of this property on the National Register of Historic Places, Samuel Blunston was commissioned by the family of William Penn to begin issuing licenses for land which had been owned by Penn and his family in what are, today, Cumberland and York counties; the first forty-nine were obtained by men hoping to settle in Cumberland County in 1733 while the fiftieth ("the very first to be issued for land in York County") was awarded to "Richard Ashton, a fur trader, who named his limestone-rich tract of land Fortune" that same year. Sometime after the death of Ashton and his wife (prior to 1761), "the 359-acre property located on the south side of the Yellow Breeches Creek" was transferred to their children William and Sarah, who then sold her half of the property to William, who then sold the entire property to Peter Hursh in November 1788.</p><br>

<p>The Landon House, also known as the Stancioff House, is a historic home located at Urbana, Frederick County, Maryland, United States. It was built about 1849 and is a large three-story frame house with a notable clerestory roof, and two-story full length galleried porch. The home&#39;s interior woodwork is of a simple Greek Revival style. The former smokehouse has been converted to a chapel. The house is said to have originally stood on the Rappahannock River near Fredericksburg, Virginia, and moved to its present location in 1846 at the direction of the Reverend R.H. Phillips. It has been used as both a school and private home. Reverend Phillips established a Female Seminary here between 1846 and 1850, then become a military institute for boys, and by the end of the 1850s it apparently had resumed its role as a Female Seminary. It was used by the 155th Pennsylvania Volunteers as a resting point for Union Troops marching toward the Battle of Antietam on September 16, 1862. The house would host a cotillion ball for Confederate soldiers before eventually becoming a field hospital during the civil war. During 2013 the building was purchased by new owners who have plans to restore it to its Civil War state.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed as the Stancioff House on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.</p><br>
<h2>Building and rebuilding</h2><br>
<p>The Landon House was originally built in 1754 near the Rappahannock River in Virginia. In 1846 the building was transported by barge to Georgetown before being moved again via the Potomac to Point of Rocks. During the move the house was added onto with it eventually having 40 rooms. The property it currently sits on is about 6 acres in size.</p><br>
<p>Denis Supercynski, with the Frederick County Planning Department, has said that even though some of the material for the building possibly came from other buildings, something which was common at the time, there was "no precise evidence" of the building having been moved.</p><br>
<h2>Uses over the years</h2><br>
<p>Over the years the Landon house has been used for a variety of purposes. When it was first built it was used as a silk mill. After being rebuilt it was used as a schoolhouse for girls. In 1854 it was transformed into the Landon Military Academy run by Robert C. Jones.</p><br>
<p>The building was the site of a notable ball in 1862.</p><br>
<h2>Civil War</h2><br>
<p>On 8 September 1862 Confederate Gen. J. E. B. Stuart was walking, after having eaten with a local family at their invitation, when he discovered Landon House, (at the time known as the Landon Female Academy). The building was unoccupied at the time. While exploring the house, Stuart discovered a ballroom on the east end. Stuart felt the need for a break from the war and decided to hold a ball there that night to give his men and himself a rest from the war. The ballroom was decorated with flags and roses for the ball. Music was provided by the 18th Mississippi Cavalry&#39;s regimental band. Ladies living in Urbana were invited to attend. The ball became known as the Sabers and Roses Ball.</p><br>
<p>During the ball a report came in that Union cavalry were nearby in Hyattstown and heading towards Urbana. The festivities stopped and Stuart and his men left to the picket posts in Hyattstown that were threatened by Union cavalry. When they arrived, they discovered that the Union soldiers had already been repulsed by the 1st North Carolina Infantry and returned to the ball. By the time they had returned most of the ladies had left. Ladies were invited to return to the ball and the ball resumed.</p><br>
<p>After the ball the building was used as a field hospital after the ball. According to Michael Kurtianyk, both Confederate soldiers and Union soldiers made "lightning sketches" on the walls of the hospital. The Confederate soldiers are said to have drawn CSA President Jefferson Davis and Stuart. Union soldiers using the hospital later on 16 September 1862 drew Abe Lincoln twice as large as the Confederate drawings. They signed their drawing. These drawings can still be seen on the walls of the house today.</p><br>
<h2>Modern usage and future</h2><br>
<p>Following the Civil War, the abandoned military academy was purchased by Sam Hinks who was once mayor of Baltimore. At his death, it was occupied by his descendants until purchased by Lt. Col. Luke Tiernan Brien, a Confederate veteran and an officer in Gen. Stuart&#39;s division, who lived there with his wife until 1912.</p><br>
<p>The property was acquired in 1946 by Mr. Ivan Stancioff a Bulgarian diplomat and son of the Prime minister Dimitar Stanchov. They arrived in America with his wife Marion and their children in 1946. They purchased the home in April 1947 and it remained in the Stancioff family until July 1997. The house was added to the National Historic Register in 1974.</p><br>
<p>The building was then purchased by Kevin Dolan and used as an event venue and hosted Civil War re-enactments.</p><br>
<p>In 2013 the Landon House was purchased by Dr. Praveen Bularum, Dr. Rohit Khirbat and Chakri Katepalli, who have plans to restore the building to the condition it was in during the Civil War, for $850,000. They plan to open the house by March 2014. The house will be used as an event center and there are plans to add a bed and breakfast. Preservation of the building has been supported by the Heart of the Civil War Heritage Area.</p><br>
<h2>Cultural references</h2><br>
<p>In season 5 episode 9 of My Ghost Story a story is told about Landon House.</p><br>
<p>LeConte Hall is the former name of a building on the campus of the University of California, Berkeley, which is home to the physics department. LeConte Hall was one of the largest physics buildings in the world at the time it was opened in 1924, and was also the site of the first atom collider, built by Ernest O. Lawrence in 1931.</p><br>
<p>The building was named in honor of the brothers Joseph and John LeConte, professors of Physics and Geology, who were respectively the first and third presidents of the university. Their last name was removed from the building in 2020 due to their white supremacist views. As of 2021, the university has not decided on a permanent name.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In 1924, the university opened LeConte Hall in order to accommodate an enlarged physics department, and to support the hiring of new, talented faculty. One of the newly hired faculty was Ernest Lawrence, who joined the department in 1928. Lawrence, together with students M. S. Livingston and David Sloan built an 11-inch cyclotron and installed it in room 325 LeConte. The device was the first successful, functional cyclotron and produced a current of 1.22 MeV protons.</p><br>
<p>Lawrence set up the Radiation Laboratory ("Rad Lab") in the space between LeConte Hall and the Campanile. The lab was later moved up the hill and renamed Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory.</p><br>
<p>Another nuclear physicist, J. Robert Oppenheimer joined the department in the summer of 1929. Oppenheimer maintained an office, together with his group of students in room 219 LeConte. In 1942, Oppenheimer was appointed head of the fast neutron research group, and in the summer of that year, he invited the leading physicists of the time to discuss the theoretical aspects of developing an atomic weapon. The physicists and Oppenheimer&#39;s students, including Hans Bethe, John Van Vleck, Felix Bloch, and others, worked in the top floor of LeConte Hall and spent a month analyzing data. A plaque commemorating Oppenheimer and his students can be found outside of room 433.</p><br>
<p>In 1950, an addition attached to LeConte Hall at its northwest corner was opened.</p><br>
<p>In 2006, the UC Berkeley campus completed a US$30.7 million renovation project, designed to update the LeConte Hall facilities as well as to provide seismic retrofitting. Being a historic landmark, an effort was made to preserve the original architecture as well as to restore original attributes, such as the historic skylight on the fourth floor, which houses the Berkeley Center for Theoretical Physics.</p><br>
<p>In 2020, the university removed the LeConte name from the building due to the LeConte brothers&#39; support of white supremacy. As of 2021, it is temporarily called Physics South (for the original building) and Physics North (for the 1950 addition), while the university decides on a permanent name.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>LeConte Hall stands proudly as a Beaux Arts architectural gem amidst the University of California, Berkeley campus. Situated strategically on a sloping hillside, this three-story over-one-basement structure boasts a captivating blend of classical and utilitarian elements. Completed in 1923/24, its reinforced concrete frame supports a rectangular form crowned by a hipped red-tile roof, embellished with a striking copper and glass skylight. Neoclassical adornments such as modified Ionic columns, pediments, and gables grace its exterior, while stucco surfacing adds to its timeless elegance.</p><br>
<p>Within its walls, LeConte Hall houses a functional layout, with mechanical and shop spaces occupying the basement, and classrooms, offices, laboratories, and ancillary areas spanning the upper floors. The interior, initially adorned with plaster walls, oak trim, and linoleum floors, exudes an atmosphere conducive to academic pursuits.</p><br>
<p>As the inaugural building dedicated solely to the Department of Physics, LeConte Hall holds a significant place in the campuss history. Its location within the northeastern quadrant, adjacent to the Physical Sciences precinct, underscores its pivotal role in scientific endeavors. Paired with Gilman Hall across a small esplanade, LeConte Hall aligns harmoniously with the campuss architectural vision, reflecting the influence of the 1900 Phoebe Hearst Architectural Plan.</p><br>
<p>LeConte Hall is currently in a satisfactory condition, although it requires updates for seismic safety and system improvements, which are set to take place in 2003-04. These enhancements will be focused internally to ensure that the building&#39;s exterior façade and significant interior spaces remain unaltered. Over the years, LeConte Hall has undergone several modifications. In 1950, the LeConte Annex was added to the northwest, connected by a three-story wing. Subsequently, in 1964, Birge Hall was constructed separately to the west and linked to LeConte through a three-level elevated steel and glass breezeway. Additionally, during the 1960s, a two-story lecture hall within LeConte was replaced with a mezzanine level, providing additional laboratory space and offices.</p><br>
<p>While these alterations have affected the rear western elevation due to connections with adjacent structures, the principal eastern façade and the north and south ends of the building have remained unchanged. Notably, when viewed from the south, east, and north perspectives, LeConte Hall retains its original appearance, closely resembling historical photographs and architectural plans from its construction era.</p><br>
<h2>Nobel Prizes</h2><br>
<p>In 1939, Ernest Lawrence was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics, the first time the award went to a Bay Area resident. Since then, LeConte Hall has been host to eight Physics Nobel Prize–winning faculty and four alumni.</p><br>
