<p>The Masonic Temple in Ferndale, California is located at 212 Francis Street, in an Eastlake-Stick style building built in 1891. The Masonic Hall is a contributing property in the Ferndale Main Street Historic District which was added on 10 January 1994 to the National Register of Historic Places. Ferndale Masonic Lodge Free & Accepted Masons #193 holds meetings in the building.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Charter member and first worshipful master of the Ferndale Lodge for two terms in 1869 and 1870, Seth Louis Shaw (March 23, 1816 – November 23, 1872), was a lifelong Mason, starting in Nashville, Tennessee, where he became a master Mason and later worshipful master of the same lodge.</p><br>
<p>After traveling to California in the Gold Rush, Shaw was one of the charter members of the Humboldt Lodge in Eureka, California before the founding of the Ferndale Lodge.</p><br>
<p>The Ferndale lodge was chartered on 14 October 1869 by the grand lodge in San Francisco. The earliest meetings of the Ferndale Lodge were held over a store at the corner of Ocean Avenue and Francis Street, now the site of a repurposed gas station.</p><br>
<p>In 1872 Shaw&#39;s son, Joseph Armitage Shaw, was worshipful master of the Ferndale Lodge. In 1874 and 1875, the Lodge worked on building a new hall which is now the I.O.O.F. Hall on Main Street.</p><br>
<p>The most disastrous fire in the town&#39;s history, on 6 and 7 September 1875, burned both the store and the hall. All that survived was a ledger and one minute book from 1874. The new hall building that was being built, escaped the flames, but in 1876 the lodge found the cost of the new building too much and sold a half-interest to the Odd Fellows.</p><br>
<h2>The new Masonic Hall</h2><br>
<p>The new Masonic Temple built by Ira Russ and members of the lodge in 1891 was described as "a structure of magnificent proportions, and modern architecture." The upper floor was used for meetings, the lower floor was rented for various purposes. The Ferndale Lodge sold the remaining half-interest in their old hall to the Odd Fellows in 1891.</p><br>
<p>In March 1895, the first floor was used by the Ferndale kindergarten. In 1896 a side addition to the hall was built by Blakemore and Briggs. Two years later, the Ferndale Commercial School opened on 22 August 1898 in what was then called the Town Hall in the Masonic Building. In August 1899, Ferndale&#39;s first high school started in the council rooms at the Masonic Building, and in 1901 the Ferndale Business College opened on the Eugene Street side of the Hall.</p><br>
<p>The building was twisted out of shape and the lower story plastering loosened in the 24 April 1906 San Francisco earthquake. Repairs were undertaken immediately and in September 1907, all the first floor rooms were combined into one and a kitchen was added by P. R. Burris and Ira Goff. In 1914 another kindergarten opened in the hall. In early 1928 the hall was extensively remodeled, and repaired again in 1992 after the earthquakes.</p><br>
<p>Wenona Hall and Wecota Hall at South Dakota State University in Brookings, South Dakota are women&#39;s dormitories that were built in 1909 and 1915. John J. Schwartz was architect. The combination was listed on the USA National Register of Historic Places in 1980.</p><br>
<p>The buildings were deemed to be "significant in the areas of architecture and education" and "good examples of early 20th century academic architecture&quot Schwartz is held to have achieved "balance and order" in using neoclassical architecture despite constraints of large scale and many necessary window openings.</p><br>
<p>The Fifth Ward Meetinghouse is a historic structure in Salt Lake City, Utah. The 1910 building was designed by architects Cannon & Fetzer and remodeled in 1937; it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978. It was also an official Salt Lake City Landmark site. The building was constructed to be and functioned as meetinghouse for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints until 1975.</p><br>
<p>After its sale by the church it went through several uses, including as concert venue The Pompadour in the 1990s, hosting bands such as Nirvana. It was also used as the Urgyen Samten Ling Gonpa Tibetan temple on the main floor and the Red Lotus School of Movement in the basement.</p><br>
<p>The building was severely damaged in an illegal demolition on the morning of Easter, March 31, 2024. When alerted, the city immediately posted a Stop Work Order at the site, issued to owner Jordan Atkin. City codes dictate that an owner must restore the portion of the building already demolished due to its historic significance.</p><br>
<p>The Strickler Family Farmhouse, also known as the County Farm, is an historic, American home that is located in Springettsbury Township, York County, Pennsylvania.</p><br>
<p>The home was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1991.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The farmhouse consists of three sections: a -story, two-bay by one-bay, Germanic-influenced, limestone main house, a -story, brick Georgian-style wing that was built circa 1835, and a two-story brick ell that was built circa 1865.</p><br>
<p>Also located on the property is the Strickler family cemetery, with burials that date back to the 1700s.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Ulrich and Mary Strickler immigrated to Pennsylvania in 1737 and purchased two hundred acres of farmland west of the Susquehanna River from the Penn family. Samuel Strickler was born in the stone house in 1875.</p><br>
<p>The family sold the farm during the early twentieth century; it was the subsequently sold in 1943 to York County and used for a prison site. For a few years, the federal immigration service used the house for office space, before it went unused. Three generations of family members visited the house in July 2020 after learning of its ancestral link.</p><br>
<h2>NRHP registration, demolition plans, and saving</h2><br>
<p>The home was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1991.</p><br>
<p>As of October 2019, the farmhouse faced demolition after York County cancelled its previously-announced plans to move its coroner&#39;s office there. Although nearly half a million dollars of repairs, including mold mitigation, were required for continued use of the structure, only $11,000 in donations were obtained for the repairs.</p><br>
<p>In autumn 2019, York County hired a consulting firm to document the history of the farmhouse. In October 2021, it was announced that the property had been saved from demolition, with county commissioners approving a ninety-nine-year, rent-free lease to Historic York, which will preserve and maintain the building.</p><br>
<p>The Samuel Stoner Homestead, also known as Indian Road Farm, Bechtel Farm, and Wiest Dam, is an historic home and farm property that is located in West Manchester Township, York County, Pennsylvania.</p><br>
<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.</p><br>
<h2>History and architectural features</h2><br>
<p>The historic house was developed in three stages: a -story, Germanic-influenced, limestone, banked house that was built between 1798 and 1801, a second story added circa 1835, and a two-story, three-bay, stone addition that was built circa 1850. The house measures sixty-two feet by thirty feet.</p><br>
<p>Also located on the property is a small stone and frame springhouse, a small stone smoke house, and a small frame and stone bank barn, all dating to the mid-nineteenth century.</p><br>
<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.</p><br>

<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1972.</p><br>
<p>York Mayor-Elect, current City Council Chairman, and Lower Susquehanna Riverkeeper, Michael Helfrich, currently resides as the sole occupant.</p><br>
<p>The Carson City Post Office is a historic building in Carson City, Nevada built from 1888 to 1891. It was designed by architect Mifflin E. Bell. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.</p><br>
<p>It is significant as the second federal building built in Nevada (the earliest federal building in Nevada is the Carson City Mint), and the only one of its architectural style, which is Richardsonian Romanesque. It served as a courthouse of the United States District Court for the District of Nevada from 1891 to 1965. In 1999 it was renamed the Paul Laxalt State Building for former Nevada Governor Paul Laxalt, and now houses the Nevada Commission on Tourism.</p><br>
<p>Bell, a Supervising Architect of the Treasury Department, was the initial architect, while work was completed under Supervising Architect successors Will Frost and James Windrum.</p><br>
<h2>History and Context</h2><br>
<p>The United States Senate proceeded with a bill allocating $100,000 to construct a public building in the city of Carson, Nevada on January 5, 1885. The responsible senators for this allocation are William Morris Stewart and James W. Nye. On 278th page of his remembrances, Stewart reports, “prevented the conversion of the Mint into a public building and secured mandatory legislation with an appropriation for the construction of the present Government Building at the capital.” Afterwards, from Carson City, some citizens were nominated as a panel for picking a perfect place for the building. A prolonged search took the panel to a site at the city of Reno which was available at $30,000. After around three years, the work of construction began.</p><br>
<p>When the building was completed, it housed the United States District Court, Land Office, Weather Bureau and the Carson City Post Office. Altogether, 16 rooms were occupied by different organizations. This building had the earliest and sole clock tower of Carson City. It was roughly 106 feet high from the street level. The washrooms of the building were customized in 1908. Also the first elevator of Carson City was installed in this building in 1935. The 1955 upgrade of the building included the removal of the chimney, the insertion of a brick loading at the back and the expansion of the lobby. This building stopped serving as the Post Office in 1971, the Post Office shifted to a new establishment 2 blocks to the north-east. Scarcely any change has been done to the building since 1972. The building looks almost the same as it looked a hundred years ago.</p><br>
<p>United States Post Office – Port Townsend Main is a Richardsonian Romanesque building completed in 1893 on a bluff above Port Townsends waterfront. It was intended to serve as a Federal building that would include a customhouse serving Port Townsends incipient role in world trade. It was locally reported to be a very fine building for the Northwest, and even in fact that "for that matter, size considered there is nothing better in the United States." But by its completion there was deeper disappointment in Port Townsend about the city not becoming the trade center that it had hoped to become.</p><br>
<p>Architects M.E. Bell and W.J. Edbrooke have association in designing and/or supervising roles. It was listed on the USA National Register of Historic Places in 1991.</p><br>
<p>USA Congress appropriated $9,000 to purchase its land in March 1885. Construction of its basement began in 1889. It was completed in February 1893. This period spanned the time during which Port Townsend hoped to beat out Tacoma and Seattle to become the major port city on Puget Sound. Construction of this customhouse was part of furthering that goal. However the hopes foundered, with a major setback being the November 1890 failure of the bank financing construction of a railroad from Portland to Port Townsend.</p><br>
<p>Fairfield Farms is a historic estate house located near Berryville, Clarke County, Virginia. It was built in 1768, and designed by architect John Ariss and built for Warner Washington, first cousin to George Washington. During his surveying for Lord Fairfax, George Washington helped survey and layout the property for John Aris. It is a five-part complex with a -story hipped-roof central block having walls of irregular native limestone ashlar throughout. It is in the Georgian style. Located on the property are a contributing large brick, frame and stone barn and an overseer&#39;s house.</p><br>
<p>In February 2018, Fairfield Farms was purchased by developer Charles Paret, a Virginia native, who was unsuccessful in his endeavor to develop the property.</p><br>
<p>Fairfield was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1970.</p><br>
<p>Spanning 124 ft, the 18 ft wide Colville Covered Bridge is located along the Colville Pike where it crosses Hinkston Creek about four miles northwest of Millersburg, Kentucky. The bridge is situated 28 ft above the water level in a rural area where vehicular traffic mainly comprises local residents and farm vehicles.</p><br>
<p>The bridge was constructed in 1877 and is one of 13 that remain of more than 400 covered bridges in Kentucky. The construction architecture is Burr truss consisting of multiple king-posts with panel posts generally spaced 10 feet apart.</p><br>
<p>A number of reasons have been offered to explain the construction of covered bridges in Kentucky during the 19th century. The protection the cover provided against wood deterioration was likely most important. The yellow poplar used in the construction was thought - at the time - to be almost indestructible when shielded from the weather. The cover allowed timbered trusses and braces to season properly and kept water out of the joints, prolonging the life by seven to eight times that of an uncovered bridge. A second plausible reason is that the boarded sides and shingled roofs prevented horses from seeing the drop to the water below and becoming "spooked". "</p><br>
<p>Farmers Market, more commonly called Penn Market and also known as York Farmers Market or Market & Penn Street Farmers Market, is a historic public market located in York, Pennsylvania. It was built in 1876 and expanded about 1890. The original section is a simple 60 feet wide and 80 feet long gable roofed brick building. A 40 foot wide rectangular section was added in the expansion and the two sections were joined under a single, moderately pitched gable roof. With the expansion, a five bay wide false front was added to unify the building. The front facade features two ornamental circular windows. Attached to the main building are three auxiliary buildings including a Queen Anne style stable.</p><br>
<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.</p><br>
<p>The York Armory is an historic National Guard armory that is located in York, York County, Pennsylvania.</p><br>
<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.</p><br>
<h2>History and architectural features</h2><br>
<p>Built in 1913, this historic structure is a two-story brick building that was designed in the Late Gothic Revival style and measures five bays by six bays in size. The drill hall is located on the second floor above the administrative area. A brick maintenance shop was added behind the building in the 1950s.</p><br>
<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.</p><br>
<p>Spanning 114 ft, the Cabin Creek Covered Bridge crosses Cabin Creek 4.5 mi northwest of Tollesboro on Kentucky Highway 984 about 12.4 miles from the Lewis-Fleming County line. It is no longer open to vehicular traffic.</p><br>
<p>The bridge was constructed in 1867 and is one of thirteen remaining in the state. The lack of siding under the eaves creates a clerestory effect along the entire length. Around 1914, Louis Bower reinforced the Burr truss structure by adding an arch on either side, requiring the addition of skew backs where the arch meets the abutments.</p><br>
<p>A number of reasons have been offered to explain the construction of covered bridges in Kentucky during the 19th century. The protection the cover provided against wood deterioration was likely most important. The cover allowed timbered trusses and braces to season properly and kept water out of the joints, prolonging the life by seven to eight times that of an uncovered bridge.</p><br>
<p>Numerous dates have been listed over several decades for the construction of the Cabin Creek Bridge. Fiscal Court records quoted by Rev. O. G Ragan in his History of Lewis County, Kentucky. Press of Jennings and Graham, 1912, list 1869 as the date of charter of the Cabin Creek Turnpike; 1870 as the date in which the turnpike company was authorized to cross Cabin Creek "at William Henderson&#39;s;" and 1871 as the date of construction of the bridge. The circa 1914 Bower reconstruction has been confirmed through announcement in the Maysville Evening Bulletin to have begun in September, 1907.</p><br>
<p>The builder of the Cabin Creek Bridge was generally and officially stated as unknown for decades. In recent years it has been attributed to both Jacob Bower and to William Henderson - then owner of adjacent property. The assertion that Henderson constructed the bridge is based upon a letter written in the 1970s to the Vanceburg newspaper disputing a statement made in an article that the bridge was constructed by Mackey Hughes. The author of the letter was Ms. Birdie Henderson, great great granddaughter of William Henderson.It has been handed down through several generations of the Henderson family that Mr. Henderson was the builder of the bridge. From Fiscal Court records transcribed in Ragan, the builder of the bridge was "a Mr. Bryant of Ohio." "Mr. Bryant" was in all likelihood Josiah Bryant, a noted covered bridge builder from Mt. Orab, Brown County, Ohio. The structural and empirical details of several Ohio covered bridges confirmed to have been built by Bryant validate this contemporaneous documentation.</p><br>
<p>Cabin Creek was closed to vehicular traffic in 1983 and was restored by Arnold M. Graton Associates of Ashland, New Hampshire, 2012–2014.</p><br>
<p>The Nathaniel H. Burt House is a historic house located at 400 Fifth Avenue in Leavenworth, Kansas. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on October 27, 1987.</p><br>
<p>Source of information about the Burt children and Carroll Mansion Museum is from the Leavenworth County Historical Society at the Carroll Mansion Museum (next door to the Burt House), 1128 Fifth Avenue.</p><br>
<h2>Architectural design</h2><br>
<p>Nathaniel H. Burt had become a prominent Leavenworth businessman by 1895 when he built the Nathaniel H. Burt House at 1200 Fifth Avenue for his wife and two sons. The architect was William Pratt Feth, a native of Leavenworth, who had just returned after several years of schooling at the Armour institute in Chicago and apprenticed work in Denver on the famed Dennis Sheedy Mansion. Mr. Feth remained in Leavenworth the rest of his life where there are over 60 public and residential structures to his credit. These include the County Courthouse, City Hall, the AXA Building, the Corner Pharmacy, and the former Montgomery Ward building, now known as J.W. Crancers.</p><br>
<p>Mr. Feth designed the home in the Romanesque Revival style reminiscent of the work of H.H. Richardson. The overall irregular facades are typical of the late Victorian period. Using brick with limestone trim and foundation, the exterior is highly ornamented. Original blueprints of the approximately 54’ by 65’ structure are maintained by the current owners as well as Leavenworth Public Works. The carriage house, immediately behind the main building, was constructed in 1920, and reflects the style of the main house.</p><br>
<h2>Refurbishment and renovations</h2><br>
<p>The home underwent an extensive interior refurbishment in the early 1980s under the oversight of both William and Annett McCollum as well as Leah S. Waage. Extensive use of the Bradbury and Bradbury Victorian Wallpaper Company have been integrated throughout the home. The extensive use of these wallcoverings were custom made for each room where they were installed. They portray the early The Victorian Era (1837-1901), which was a period of transformation. In the decorative arts, this vibrant era did not produce merely one style, it produced many. Historical revivals, an anti-industrial return to nature, futurism, and Oriental exoticism all coexisted in the public imagination, and were often found in enthusiastic, if not startling, decorative combinations.</p><br>
<p>Additional notable interior features include the large stained glass window and fully functional curved radiator on the stairway, Oak, cherry, and bird&#39;s eye maple pocket doors, and the chandelier within the foyer. In its current configuration, the home has 5 bedrooms, 3 ½ baths, and three separate levels.</p><br>
<h2>The Burt family and ownership</h2><br>
<p>In 1876 Nathaniel Henry Burt married Rosamond O. Pratt. She was born at the Baptist Indian Mission, south of Leavenworth, March 26, 1854, the daughter of missionaries, Rev. John Gill Pratt and his wife, Olivia E. Evans. They had come from Boston to the Shawnee Baptist Mission in Johnson County in 1837, taking charge of the printing office of the Rev. Jotham Meeker. Children born to Nathaniel and Rosamond were Nathaniel Pratt (born 1877) and Eugene (born 1881). Nathaniel Pratt married Dorothy Gordon and inherited the house when his father died in 1923. After her husbands death in 1960, his wife sold the home in 1962 to Robert G. & Daphne M. Mundinger. There have been three subsequent families since then; Charles & Louise Moore, Robert & Audrey Wallis, and William & Annette McCollum, all prior to the current owners, Mr. and Mrs. Austin. Both Burts sons were involved in the Great Western Stove Company and inherited their father&#39;s interests. Eugene and his wife Edith, daughter of Joseph & Sadie Cranston, who lived just up the street, had two daughters: Rosamond and Barbara. Rosamond married John Brock Taylor, who was affiliated with the First National Bank.</p><br>
<p>Nathaniel P. Burt donated a good number of the Burt family early day furnishings to the Carroll Mansion Museum, which date from around 1900. The famous “Keller Dog” that stands on the front lawn of the museum was donated by Rosamond Burt Taylor. The Everhard Glass Plate Negative Collection, owned by the museum, includes numerous portraits of the Burt family.</p><br>
<p>Its original owner, Nathaniel H. Burt, moved to Leavenworth in 1875 and started working for the Great Western Stove Company. He became the treasurer of the company in 1885, then became its president in 1911. His house, built in 1895, was fitting for a prominent city businessman. The houses architect, William P. Feth, had recently returned to Leavenworth after architectural school and training in Chicago, from 1885 through 1890, and more training in Denver from 1890 through 1895. The design of the house is influenced by Henry Hobson Richardson elements, such as its material, form, and overall feeling. Some influence of Richard Morris Hunt&#39;s architecture is reflected in the ornamented dormers and an oriel window.</p><br>
<h2>Register</h2><br>
<p>In October 1987, the Burt house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places for its significance as the residence of one of the cities early & influential industrial families. It was also awarded a historical plaque by the Leavenworth County Historical Society in May 1997.</p><br>
<p>The Ilik River Fortification II near Yona, Guam was built by Japanese forces during World War II. It was listed on the USA National Register of Historic Places in 1991.</p><br>
<p>It is a pillbox located about 100 meters from an entrance to Ylig Bay, 30 meters inland from the high tide line, and about 50 meters above sea level. The fortification consists of three partial sides of a structure made of coral pieces cemented together, a construction technique introduced to the island during its colonial Spanish administration. The surviving wall segments range in thickness from 0.7 m to 0.9 m in thickness, and there is a gun port in the south-facing wall.</p><br>
<p>The Mill Creek Park Suspension Bridge is a bridge in Youngstown, Ohio, United States. The 1895 bridge carries Valley Drive across Mill Creek to connect the east and west sides of Mill Creek Park. Following the wishes of Volney Rogers to create fanciful park entrances, Charles Fowler of the Youngstown Bridge Co. designed the structure. The Suspension Bridge is the oldest of six bridges in Mill Creek Park. It measures 86 feet long and 32 feet wide and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976. It has been called the Silver Bridge, the Cinderella Bridge, the Castle Bridge, and the Walt Disney Bridge.</p><br>
<p>In the summer and fall of 2007, the Suspension Bridge went through a major rehabilitation project to repair the historic structure, restore its visual prominence and improve its structural integrity. The project was coordinated through consultation with the Mahoning Valley Historical Society, Youngstown State University, the Ohio Historic Preservation Office and additional agencies. A Federal Highway Administration Enhancement Grant, secured through the Eastgate Regional Council of Governments, covered 80% of the total project cost. The bridge has been restored to its original splendor, reflecting its history, legacy, aesthetic appeal, cultural prominence and regional character.</p><br>
<p>The Edward Everett Hale House  is a historic house at 2625A Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry Highway in South Kingstown, Rhode Island. It was commissioned in 1873 by businessman and historian William B. Weeden and designed by architects C. Maxson & Company of Westerly. Edward Everett Hale used the house as a summer home for himself and his family for several decades from the 1870s to the 1910s. The house and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2007.</p><br>
<p>The Johnson Creek Covered Bridge is located four miles north of Blue Licks Battlefield State Park in Robertson County and is currently closed to vehicular traffic. The bridge is important as the only known example of Robert Smith&#39;s truss system in Kentucky and the only covered bridge extant known to have been built by Jacob N. Bower .</p><br>
<p>The bridge was constructed in 1874 and was one of thirteen that remained, now eleven, of more than four hundred covered bridges in Kentucky. Around 1912, Jacob Bower&#39;s son, Louis, added an arch on each side to support increased traffic using the bridge. The bridge is 114 feet long and 16 feet wide, according to Louis Bower, grandson of Jacob Bower and a local covered bridge builder.</p><br>
<p>Later generations have advanced numerous reasons for the construction of covered bridges, but the historical reason for their existence was the maintenance of structural integrity. The cover allowed timbered trusses and braces to season properly and kept water out of the joints, prolonging their lives by seven to eight times that of an uncovered bridge.</p><br>
<p>It is located on what is now a bypass named Covered Bridge Rd., off Kentucky Route 1029 (Old Blue Lick Rd.), about 6.4 miles southeast of Mt. Olivet, Kentucky by road and about 4.0 miles north of Blue Licks Battlefield State Park. It crosses Johnson Creek, a tributary to the Licking River.</p><br>
<p>The William Shelly School and Annex, also known as the Eberton School, is a historic school building and annex located in West York, York County, Pennsylvania. Built circa 1897, the Shelly Annex was initially designed as a one-room school, but was then enlarged twice between 1898 and 1903 to become a 2 1/2-story, gable roofed brick building which is three bays wide and seven bays deep. Built between 1905 and 1908, the Shelly School was designed in the Italian Renaissance style, and is a two-story brick structure which is nine bays wide and seven bays deep. Completely rebuilt following a fire in 1919, the property was sold in 1960; the buildings were then utilized as storage facilities for the next 37 years.</p><br>
<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2001.</p><br>

<p>The University Club of Albany, New York, was a social club founded in 1901 that closed in 2022. It was most recently housed in a Colonial Revival brick building at the corner of Washington Avenue  and Dove Street.</p><br>
<p>In 2011 that building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.After purchasing the building in 2022 for $950,000, Business for Good donated use of the building to the Albany Black Chamber of Commerce, which opened its doors in February 2023.</p><br>
<p>Young men who had recently graduated from college founded the club in the early 20th century as a place to gather until they had achieved the social status necessary to follow their fathers into the older Fort Orange Club. It met in one founder&#39;s house for several years until it could purchase a house that stood at its last location, on which it built a wing. When that house burned down in the 1920s, Albany architects the Fuller & Robinson company designed the current main building to replace it. It was his last major work in the city.</p><br>
<p>The club has played a role in the city&#39;s social and cultural life since its founding. Speakers at its events in its early years included President William Howard Taft, Andrew Carnegie, Earl Grey and various governors of New York. Its amenities include a library, dining facilities, meeting rooms, and one of the oldest bowling alleys in the country, which may also be the oldest private bowling alley in continual use in the state.</p><br>
<h2>Buildings and grounds</h2><br>
<p>The club&#39;s complex occupies the three buildings on the lot along Dove between Washington and Elk Street, at the northwest corner of the intersection. The neighborhood is in a very densely developed section of Albany just two blocks west of the state capitol, a National Historic Landmark located in the Lafayette Park Historic District, also listed on the National Register. One block to the east is the State Department of Education building, another listed property.</p><br>
<p>In the blocks around the club are many commercial and institutional buildings, some listed on the Register as well. Across Dove Street are the Classical Revival Harmanus Bleecker Library and Albany Institute of History and Art, both with portions designed by Albert Fuller as well. A block west at Lark Street (USA Route 9W) is the Washington Avenue Armory. Across Washington Avenue from the armory is the Walter Merchant House. The Alfred E. Smith State Office Building towers to the southeast at the corner of Washington and South Swan Street, dwarfed in turn by the modern Empire State Plaza to its southeast.</p><br>
<p>North of Elk Street is Sheridan Park, with a large parking area in the center. South of Washington are the residential blocks of the Center Square/Hudson–Park Historic District. The Washington Park Historic District, Albany&#39;s largest, is to the southwest on the other side of Lark. The proposed Lower Washington Avenue Historic District would include the buildings across the street from the club.</p><br>
<h3>Exterior</h3><br>
<p>The main club building is a three-story five-by-five-bay structure of brick laid in Flemish bond with wooden trim on a raised limestone basement topped by a flat roof. A two-story wing, with a one-story wing of its own, projects to the north along Dove. At the north end of the main block, a set of steps lead up from the street, which has no sidewalk, to an elaborate entrance portico. Low hedges set off the property at the corner and for a short distance north of the main entrance.</p><br>
<p>Fenestration begins with recessed glass block windows in the basement. Above them, on the first story, 12-over-16 double-hung sash windows are set in recessed arched openings with keystones and splayed-brick lintels. At the lower end are ornate iron balustrades. A molded limestone stringcourse runs around the building at the level of the balustrades&#39; top.</p><br>
<p>On the second floor are eight-over-eight double-hung sash with the same lintel treatment and stone sills. A squared limestone stringcourse serves as the sill for the slightly smaller but otherwise similar windows on the third floor. Above them is a classically decorated frieze, with a wide modillioned cornice marking the roofline.</p><br>
<p>The two northern bays of the east (front) facade are given over to the main entrance portico. Four clusters of paired round fluted Ionic columns, with the two on the sides having a third, topped by a classical entablature and frieze, support a flat roof with iron balustrade. A Palladian-style window, with French door, opens on to the balcony. Above it on the third story is a blind bay.</p><br>
<p>To the north the two-story wing continues the brickwork and window treatment on the main block, minus the recessed arches on the first story, except in the northern two of its eight bays. At its roof is the same cornice treatment as that found on the main block, but without the frieze. It is topped with a short parapet; a large brick chimney pierces the roof near the north end. On the one-story wing, formerly a porch, this detail is further reduced, with the cornice giving way to a flush limestone stringcourse. There is also only a single rectangular window on the basement, fully exposed at this point.</p><br>
<h3>Interior</h3><br>
<p>The main entrance opens into a mid-floor vestibule with a marble floor and short stairs leading up and down. In the former direction, the basement has a large lounge, bar and dining area in the front, with terrazzo flooring and a four-lane bowling alley in the rear. The remaining space is given over to restrooms, storage and maintenance facilities.</p><br>
<p>Up the steps is a lounge with fireplace. On its west is the large living room and meeting space that runs the full length of that side of the building. It has full-height windows and a fireplace. Other decoration includes projecting chimney breasts, engaged pilasters, molded shadow box panels, broad crown moldings and encased ceiling beams. Medallions representing the alma maters of the founding members form a frieze on some walls. In the rear is the large main dining room and its supporting kitchen, as well as the club&#39;s office and library. The Terrace Room runs along the rear facade.</p><br>
<p>On the second floor, reached by either the main or secondary stair, is the President&#39;s Room and billiards room in the front of the building, along with more office and restroom space. In the rear wing are 13 sleeping rooms, with closets but without private bathrooms. The third floor has 10 more sleeping rooms, three of which have their own bathrooms. A rear door leads onto the roof.</p><br>
<h3>Outbuildings</h3><br>
<p>At the north end of the property are two additional buildings, both used by the club. They are separated from it by a stretch of lawn. Both have been extensively altered and are not considered contributing resources to the National Register listing.</p><br>
<p>The first is a three-story brick structure that houses the club&#39;s squash courts. North of it, at the corner of Dove and Elk, is a two-and-a-half-story wood frame barn. Both were originally used as carriage houses for the late 19th-century mansion that was the original clubhouse.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The club was formed in 1901 by several young men from prominent and wealthy Albany families. They had all returned to the city after graduating from college, and wanted to get together occasionally and continue some aspects of their undergraduate experience such as singing and talking together, following the lead of other similar groups at the time in cities such as Chicago and San Francisco. Their fathers were, for the most part, members of the Fort Orange Club, Albanys oldest gentlemens club, whose clubhouse is located a block to the east along Washington Avenue from the current site.</p><br>
<p>The young men who founded the University Club assumed that, eventually, they would follow in their fathers&#39; footsteps and join the Fort Orange Club when they reached sufficient age, and hoped that the University Club would establish itself as a junior to the Fort Orange Club.</p><br>
<p>After two meetings at the old Albany Academy building in Lafayette Park attracted 140 interested young men, the club was incorporated and chartered. Nineteen members were elected as officers and directors, per the new organization&#39;s constitution, which limited the club to 175 members in residence. All had to be graduates of a college or university of recognized standing, or the USA Military or Naval academies. Its stated aims were "to establish and maintain a library, assembly and reading rooms; to promote social discourse among its members and to maintain and cultivate university spirit in the city of Albany." They chose as their motto the Latin phrase Sapere Aude — Incipe, meaning "Dare to be wise — Begin".</p><br>
<p>The entrance fee was $25 ($ in modern dollars) for residents and $15 ($ in modern dollars) for non-residents. Annual dues were $30 ($ in modern dollars) for residents and $15 for non-residents. Unlike other clubs the latter requirement did not stipulate a time for which the applicant had to have lived in the city.</p><br>
<p>Within two months the club had found its first building, a former residence at 99 Washington Avenue. Six years later, the club bought another former residence at the current location, previously the home of the late George Amsdell, owner of Albanys largest brewery at that time. It set about spending $10,000 ($ in modern dollars) to remodel the three-bay Queen Anne style structure with a prominent angular, turreted bay for use as a clubhouse. This new home served the club well, as it enabled the launch of a speakers series in 1908. The club entertained guest speakers such as Andrew Carnegie and Governor Charles Evans Hughes the following year.</p><br>
<p>In 1910 two of the speakers chosen became major Albany events. President William Howard Taft accepted the groups invitation to one of its dinners, and the whole city welcomed him. People came from miles around to see Taft. Also present was Earl Grey, then governor general of Canada. More than 300 attended the clubs annual dinner at the Ten Eyck Hotel, leading the Times Union to claim that "probably more distinguished men were at the speaker&#39;s table than at any other banquet ever held in Albany."</p><br>
<p>The club&#39;s success brought with it the need to expand its space. By 1913 it had 335 total members. The following year it began construction of what is now the north wing in order to provide space for a restaurant and additional sleeping rooms. As general contractor, the club chose the Hoggson Brothers firm of New York. The Hoggsons, both Yale graduates, had handled the 1914 construction of the north wing. Their firm pioneered the concept of combining design and construction, including many building trades, in one company. Their new wing, with brick surfaces, clean lines, symmetries and flat roof, was a radical change from the asymmetric, angular and irregular building it was attached to.</p><br>
<p>Over the next three years the club modified its membership requirements in response to World War I. A 1915 amendment to its constitution permitted recent graduates to defer half their entrance fees and dues for up to three years after graduation. Another amendment the following year created associate memberships, for those with a business in the city but living outside its boundaries. Finally, in 1917, with USA entry into the war, the club voted to excuse any member absent by virtue of military service outside the city from paying dues for the duration of hostilities.</p><br>
<p>In 1923, the main clubhouse was damaged in a fire. It remained standing and structurally sound, but enough of the interior was exposed to the elements during the subsequent winter that the club decided to replace it. Bids were sought from three different firms; the firm of Fuller & Robinson received the commission.</p><br>
<p>Albert Fuller, cofounder of the firm, had enjoyed a long and distinguished career in Albany. Either by himself or with different firms, he had designed a number of the city&#39;s notable buildings during that period, many today listed on the National Register. Around the same time, he was building the Harmanus Bleecker Library across Dove Street, a brick Classical Revival structure that complements the club buildings, and his Renaissance Revival 1908 Albany Institute of History and Art building directly opposite the club. For the club, he produced a building that was far more sympathetic to the ten-year-old wing than the original building. It would be his last major work in Albany, as he died ten years later.</p><br>
<p>W.G. Sheehan, the contractors, began work as soon as the bid was awarded with the goal of opening the new building by summer of 1925. During construction, the club added to its punch list a refrigeration plant and fire alarm system. The job&#39;s final cost was $185,000 ($ in modern dollars), more than twice the original budget. A grand reopening was held in May 1925. By autumn it was apparent that it had been a success, as October and November were the best months for business the club had recorded up to that point.</p><br>
<h2>Membership and amenities</h2><br>
<p>The University Club eventually began to admit women as members. Applicants generally needed to have graduated from a recognized college or university, although some memberships have been set aside for those who have not. Prospective members needed to be sponsored by two members and meet with the membership committee before being approved by the board.</p><br>
<p>There were several classes of membership. The primary one is resident membership, for those who live in the counties that constitute the greater Capital District which includes Albany, Columbia, Greene, Rensselaer, Saratoga, Schenectady and Schoharie counties. Those residents who lived close enough to the club, the Albany neighborhoods of Center Square/Hudson–Park, Mansion, Washington Park or Park South, were be eligible for neighbor memberships and paid the lowest fees and dues. Non-resident members also pay less. There were also joint memberships for married couples, clergy and corporate memberships and junior memberships for those under 35.</p><br>
<p>Members were able to take advantage of the club&#39;s dining facilities, which came without a monthly minimum. They also had access to a billiards room and bowling alley. The latter hosted both open bowling and league nights. Free Wi-Fi was available throughout the building. Members also got reciprocal privileges at over a hundred other private clubs throughout the country.</p><br>
<p>Fissel&#39;s School is a historic one-room school building located at Shrewsbury Township, York County, Pennsylvania. It was built in 1896, and is a 1 1/2-story, brick building with Queen Anne stylistic elements. It measures 28 feet, 6 inches, wide and 30 feet, 4 inches, deep with a 22 foot wide, 7 foot deep entrance portico. It has a gable roof with decorative bargeboard and fishscale shingles. Atop the roof above the entrance is a belfry. It ceased use as a school about 1946.</p><br>
<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1997.</p><br>
<p>Wallace-Cross Mill is a historic grist mill located at East Hopewell Township, York County, Pennsylvania. It was built in 1826, and is a 2 1/2-story, frame building on a stone foundation. It has a gable roof with decorative bargeboard. It has an 11 feet in diameter, 4 feet wide, steel water wheel to run the machinery. The mill was given to York County by its owner in 1979.</p><br>
<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1977.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The mill was constructed in 1826 and was operated continuously until the 1980s taking its water power from Rambo Run. The mill now a part of the York County Parks system was placed on the Pennsylvania Inventory of Historic Places on February 24, 1977 and the National Register of Historic Places on June 10, 1977. The owner Harry Cross gave the mill to the County of York in 1979. A major renovation of the building, both inside and out, was undertaken by York County Parks in the early 2000s.</p><br>
<p>Since 1840, ownership of the mill changed only four times with one name change from the family name of Wallace to Cross.</p><br>
<p>The restoration focus is the 1950 era; the pinnacle of Harry Cross&#39; career when the mill ran 24 hours a day and seven days a week. All three floors of the mill are open to the public with milling displays and equipment. The exhibits and demonstrations appeal to all ages but especially fifth through seventh grade students of Pennsylvania history.</p><br>
<p>Milling equipment includes a Lieberknecht mill and a hand-powered corn sheller. Also, there is a display on how millstones function and are sharpen. A family-tree display of the Wallace and Cross family can be found in the office.</p><br>
<p>The first floor office where Harry Cross conducted his business gives the impression that he stepped out for a moment. It includes a stove, miller&#39;s desk, work bench and chairs.</p><br>
<p>The mill was originally powered by a wooden overshot wheel with wooden spokes and shaft. In 1922, the wooden wheel was replaced by a steel Fitz wheel, manufactured in Hanover, Pennsylvania. Fitz was the preeminent manufacturer of mill wheels in the 19th century. The original Fitz waterwheel was restored and re-installed through the kindness of Harvey Bradley.</p><br>
<p>Since 2003, the mill has been operated by the Friends of Wallace-Cross Mill. This dedicated group of volunteers host open houses June through October and conducts special tours.</p><br>
<p>Clear Spring Mill is a historic mill complex located at Franklin Township, York County, Pennsylvania. The complex includes the grist mill, sawmill, and corn crib. The grist mill was built in 1886, and is a 2 1/2-story, heavy timber frame building on a banked sandstone foundation. It has a gambrel roof and three interior levels. The sawmill was built about 1809, and is a one-story timber frame building on a foundation of banked stone, stone piers, and wood posts. It measures 12 feet deep by 40 feet wide, with a rear porch extension. The corncrib was built about 1930.</p><br>
<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1997.</p><br>
<p>The Ashley and Bailey Company Silk Mill, also known as the Franklin Silk Mill and Leinhardt Brothers Furniture Warehouse, is an historic silk mill which is located in West York, York County, Pennsylvania. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places  in 1991 as an example of vernacular industrial architecture.</p><br>
<p>Another Ashley and Bailey Silk Mill is located about eighteen miles east in Marietta, Pennsylvania. Built about two years before the West York mill, it was similarly constructed and has also been listed on the NRHP.</p><br>
<h2>History and architectural features</h2><br>
<p>Built circa 1899, this historic factory building is a three-story, brick structure that was erected atop a rough-cut stone foundation. It has a shallow gable roof, a three-story L-shaped tower, and a broad one-story ell. Also located on the property is a small, flat-roofed brick building that was built circa 1925.</p><br>
<p>The mill closed in 1937. The building was used as a furniture warehouse into the 1980s.</p><br>
<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) in 1991 as an example of vernacular industrial architecture.</p><br>
<p>Another Ashley and Bailey Silk Mill is located about eighteen miles east in Marietta, Pennsylvania. Built about two years before the West York mill, it was similarly constructed and has also been listed on the NRHP.</p><br>
<p>Diamond Silk Mill, also known as York Silk Manufacturing Company, is a historic silk mill located at Springettsbury Township, York County, Pennsylvania. It was designed by architect John A. Dempwolf and built about 1900. The mill is a 3 1/2-story, brick building with heavy timber frame trussing on a stone foundation, and measures 50 feet by 300 feet. It has a hipped roof, and features an octagonal 100-foot high smokestack and decorative corbelled brick cornice in the Romanesque Revival style.</p><br>
<p>In 1910, the mills business had increased such that it was noted by an industry periodical as becoming a full-time operation and hiring additional workers. Silk manufacturing would become one of Yorks most important industries, feeding Lancaster&#39;s manufacture of umbrellas. A decline began with the Great Depression and continued with the introduction of synthetic fibers in the late 1930s, for which most York mills did not have equipment.</p><br>
<p>The mill was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.</p><br>
<p>Swigart&#39;s Mill, also known as Beaver Creek Mill, is a historic grist mill located at Paradise Township, York County, Pennsylvania. It was built in 1794, and is a 2 1/2-story, stone building measuring 45 feet, 6 inches, by 40 feet, 8 inches. It is three bays by three bays and has a gable roof. The mill operated until about 1920.</p><br>
<p>Just across Beaver Creek to the west is the town of East Berlin, Pennsylvania and the East Berlin Historic District, which are in Adams County.</p><br>
<p>The mill was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.</p><br>

The hospital remained in operation until 1962, after which the buildings housed a business college then home to the Aquarian Church of Universal Service.</p><br>
<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2004.</p><br>
<p>Engine Company No. 17 also known as Chemical Company No. 4 and the Brookland Firehouse, is a historic firehouse located at 1227 Monroe Street, NE, Washington, D.C. It was constructed in 1902 and housed an early “chemical company” which fought fires in outlying districts using large soda-acid extinguishers rather than using steam pumpers on the unreliable municipal water supply.</p><br>
<p>The firehouse was innovative at the time of its construction, having a built-in electrical system, and it was designed to make use of the new call box system installed in the neighborhood. It was officially designated Engine Company 17 in 1905.</p><br>
<p>It is built in the Romanesque Revival style with an asymmetrical design with both load-bearing masonry and structural iron. It was likely designed by Municipal Architect John B. Brady. In 2007 the building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places as part of the Firehouses of Washington DC MPS.</p><br>
<p>Old Engine Company No. 26, also known as the Langdon Firehouse and Chemical Company No. 3, located at 2715 22nd Street, NE, Washington, D.C. is a historic firehouse built in 1908 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2007.</p><br>
<p>The firehouse was built in response to a petition by the Northeastern Citizens’ Suburban Association for better fire protection. The Langdon neighborhood where it is located lay outside Washington&#39;s hydrant system, so fires were extinguished with chemicals and the station was originally known as Chemical Company No. 3. The station was renamed Engine Company 26 in the 1920s and closed in 1940.</p><br>
<p>Originally built to house Chemical Company 3, the firehouse was renamed Engine Company 26 in 1913. In 1940, a year after a major restructuring of the fire department, Engine Company 26 moved in with Truck Company 15 at 1340 Rhode Island Avenue, N.E. The city then proposed to adapt the building for use as a library. The Rhode Island Avenue Citizens’ Association countered the proposal with one to use the firehouse as a community center. The city decided, instead, to sell the building to the highest bidder. Shortly thereafter, the building was purchased by a church. It was later resold to the New Memorial Temple of Christ Apostolic Faith, Inc., which currently occupies the property.</p><br>

<p>The Vigilant Firehouse is a historic building in the Georgetown section of Washington, D.C. located at 1066 Wisconsin Ave., NW, just north of the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal and the Canal Monument.</p><br>
<p>The Vigilant Fire Company was organized in 1817 and this firehouse was built in 1844, making it the oldest extant firehouse in the District of Columbia. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1971.</p><br>
<p>Engine Company 5 was organized as a paid company on April 1, 1867 in this building as "Henry Addison Engine 5." In November 1883 Engine Company 5 moved around the corner to 3210 M Street, NW and the old firehouse was used for manufacturing. There are several stone markers on the site including one placed in 1869 to "Bush the</p><br>
<p>Old Fire Dog."</p><br>
<h2>The Vigilants</h2><br>
<p>The Vigilants were an early private fire company, formed in 1817 with John Kurz as president, James Moore as Secretary and James Corcoran as Treasurer. It was among the oldest fire companies in the District of Columbia, and the oldest in Georgetown. Its first fire engine, called the Vigilant, was bought from John Agnue of Philadelphia. After an 1848 reorganization, the company gradually came under the control of the government, forming Georgetowns Fire company No. 1 in 1867 and the District of Columbias Fire Company No. 5 in 1871. In 1868 the company bought what is believed to be the first steam fire engine in the District of Columbia.</p><br>
<p>The Vigilant fireman developed a reputation for rowdyism.</p><br>
<p>Even saying the name of the company could draw a fine at early meetings of the Georgetown Fire Department, according to Albert Cassedy. "The proceedings of the meeting were so interesting that two members were fined ten cents each for swearing, and a resolution was passed that any member who mentioned the name of the Vigilant Fire Company should be fined 25 cents."</p><br>
<p>A stone tablet sits at ground level between the two main doorways and reads "Bush, the Old Fire Dog, Died of Poison, July 5th 1869, R.I.P." The story was related by Cassedy:</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>A frame building was built on the site sometime before 1829. In 1843 this building was moved across the street to 1069 Wisconsin, where it stood until it was demolished in 1964.</p><br>
<p>The current building was built in 1844 as a two-story 22 ft by 44 ft rectangle with a single room on each floor, a square wooden cupola and a gable facing the street. An early addition was a two-story shed in the rear, likely used as a stable on the first floor and for hay storage on the second. A single story shed was added to the south, and a two-story addition to the north, both of which run the full depth of the building. Including the additions, the building measures 56 ft by 81 ft.</p><br>
<p>On the front gable a stone is inscribed "Vigilant, Instituted, 1817" and below this is a wrought iron "V", likely a trademark for the Vigilants.</p><br>
<p>The "V" also serves as a tension rod tie and is matched by an "S" on the back of the building.</p><br>
<p>After 1883 the building was used for manufacturing, including the Palmer Bottling Works and then McKittrick, Inc., a mattress factory, until about 1970. A 2008 photograph shows the building in use as a restaurant.</p><br>

George Otten, a landscape engineer for the Oregon State Highway Commission, designed the propertys formal garden, with paths of Italian marble, a sundial, a pergola, and a circular flower bed, among other features, at the rear of the house.</p><br>
<p>Louis Bader, the original owner of the house, was a lumberman from Illinois who moved to Portland in 1910. He became involved in real-estate marketing, particularly in the Laurelhurst district. In 1909, the Ladd Estate Company, influenced by the ideas of Frederick Law Olmsted, had laid out Laurelhurst as a residential subdivision built on the Hazelfern Farm property of William M. Ladd. Bader, who financed construction of some of the houses in Laurelhurst, lived in the house with his wife, Lillie, and children until 1936. In 1938, the Baders sold the house to Merl Margason, a Portland neurologist.</p><br>
