<p>The Ontonagon School is a former school building located at 301 Greenland Road in Ontonagon, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on May 25, 2011.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Ontonagon School was originally constructed in 1912 as a high school, and was designed by architect Derrick Hubert. The school was officially opened at the start of the 1913-1914 school year. Much of the building was rebuilt following a fire in 1929.</p><br>
<p>In 1938, a two-story addition for elementary schooling, designed by architect A.B. Nelson of the Warren S. Holmes Company, was constructed next to the original high school building. The addition was connected to the original building on the southeast side via an annex corridor.</p><br>
<p>A third single-story section of the building was constructed in 1967 to expand the school to meet the needs of the local population. The third building section was connected to the second section on the southeast side.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Ontonagon School consists of three connected buildings, constructed in 1912, 1938 and 1967. The 1938 addition is the most historically significant. This addition, constructed to house grade school children, was designed to be child-friendly. The building features stained-glass art, elaborate floor and wall tiling depicting fairytale characters, built-in child-sized benches, and reversing blackboards. The kindergarten room features a gingerbread entryway with coachlamps on each side, tilework with the Big Bad Wolf chasing the Three Little Pigs, and an Art Deco fish pond with fountain. On the second floor is a small children&#39;s theatre with a stage.</p><br>
<p>The school district discontinued use of this building after 2010 when the K-12 population was consolidated into the Ontonagon Area Senior High Building (701 Parker Ave.) that was constructed in 1967 and subsequently remodeled in 2010 to accommodate the K - 5 students, the last students to occupy the old building at 301 Greenland Road.</p><br>
<p>Delta Historic District is a national historic district located at Delta in York County, Pennsylvania. The district includes 137 collective buildings, mostly constructed between 1875 and 1895. The buildings are primarily frame and clapboard structures set upon a slate foundation and topped with slate shingle roof. They are reflective of a number of popular architectural styles including the Greek Revival and Late Victorian style. The use of slate reflects the prominence of that industry on the local economy.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<p>The Muddy Creek Forks Historic District is a national historic district that is located in the Village of Muddy Creek Forks in East Hopewell, Fawn, and Lower Chanceford Townships in York County, Pennsylvania.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1994.</p><br>
<h2>History and architectural features</h2><br>
<p>This district includes twelve contributing buildings, one contributing site, and five contributing structures. The buildings and structures were constructed roughly from 1800 to 1935, and include the general store, six houses, a mill, a grain elevator, a warehouse, and a Sweitzer barn. Most of the buildings incorporate Late Victorian-style details. The structures are two bridges, a corn crib, a weigh station, and a mill race. The site is the site of a former mill and mill pond.</p><br>
<p>The General Store also served as a station on the Maryland and Pennsylvania Railroad and the entire historic district is operated by the Ma & Pa Railroad Preservation Society.</p><br>
<p>The old Acton High School, also known as the McCarthy-Towne Elementary School, is a historic school building at 3 Charter Road in Acton, Massachusetts. Built in 1925, this Renaissance Revival building served as the towns high school for 30 years, and then as an elementary school for 45. It was the towns first purpose-built high school. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2011.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The former Acton High School is set at the northeast corner of Charter Road and Massachusetts Avenue (Massachusetts Route 111) near the geographic center of the town, and adjacent to a number of its other school buildings. It is a two-story brick building in a U shape, with Renaissance Revival styling. Its south-facing front facade has a stepped parapet, obscuring a flat roof. Its central block is fifteen bays wide, with two projecting entry pavilions. The entrances are framed by simple molding and topped by segmented-arch pediments, with narrow windows in the pavilion above. Bands of limestone trim separate the first and second stories, and the second story and the cornice. The building corners are quoined with limestone blocks.</p><br>
<p>The building was designed by Boston architect/engineer John H. Bickford, and built in 1925. It was the town&#39;s first purpose-built high school building, its previous high school classes (begun in 1883) having been rotated through other school buildings in the system. The building served in that capacity for thirty years. It then served another 45 years as an elementary school, during which time a substantial addition was made to bring the building to its present configuration. The school was finally closing in 2000. It has been converted to residences.</p><br>
<p>The Crooked Creek Bridge is a concrete arch bridge that carries USA Route 62 Spur over Crooked Creek in Pyatt, Arkansas. Built in 1923, the bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on January 21, 2010.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Although a town site had existed at this bend of Crooked Creek since the 1870s, Pyatt became a town in 1904 upon completion of the St. Louis, Iron Mountain and Southern Railway tracks through the area. As the cotton industry grew in the area and roads began to spring up around Marion County, a connecting road became necessary to give Pyatt access to the main route in the county. Completion of the Crooked Creek Bridge gave Pyatt access to the modern USA Route 62 via a spur route.</p><br>
<h2>Design</h2><br>
<p>The closed spandrel arch design became popular during the City Beautiful movement in the 1900s. Concrete became a popular bridge material at the time as well, in an effort to imitate many Roman bridges thought to be beautiful.</p><br>
<p>The Smith–Elisha House, sometimes known just as the Elisha House or the Christmas Tree House, is located on West Main Street  in Aspen, Colorado, United States. It is a wood frame structure in the Queen Anne style built in the late 19th century. In 1989 it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>It is considered one of the best Queen Anne houses in the city. Eben Smith, its original owner, was a mine owner during Aspen&#39;s boomtown years who worked to improve mine safety. Mansor Elisha, its other titular owner, was an accidental owner of the Hotel Jerome who later became mayor. Since those times it has remained intact.</p><br>
<h2>Buildings and grounds</h2><br>
<p>The house is located on the north side of West Main, between North Second and North Third streets. The neighborhood, two blocks west of downtown Aspen, is primarily residential, with multiple-unit dwellings of more modern construction giving way to the older single-family houses of the city&#39;s West End. Terrain is level, midway between the slopes of Aspen Mountain to the south and the Roaring Fork River to the north. There is, in addition to the house, a barn and carriage house in the rear with a cupola on its cross-gabled roof. The barn is considered a contributing resource to the Register listing.</p><br>
<p>A block to the north is the D.E. Frantz House, also listed on the Register. The Matthew Callahan Log Cabin, one of the few original such structures left in Aspen, is a block away on South Third Street, and Pioneer Park is to the northwest at the same distance. Both, too, are listed.</p><br>
<p>The main house is a two-and-a-half-story wood frame structure on a stone foundation. It is irregular in plan and topped by several steeply pitched shingled gables, with a tall decorative chimney piercing the rear roof. The first story is sided in clapboard while the upper stories are done in shingles.</p><br>
<p>A shed-roofed porch wraps around the southeast corner, where the main entrance is located, ending at a large projecting bay on the east facade. It is supported by turned posts with latticework between them at the upper ends and a simple balustrade at the deck. In front of it the steps are sheltered by a gabled hood with a shingled pediment supported by similar posts. A decorative wooden railing runs up them.</p><br>
<p>At the second story the shingled section flares outward slightly at the bottom. Above the main entrance is a hip roofed balcony also supported by decorative wooden posts. It is topped by a small gabled dormer window on the attic level. Another dormer tops the projecting bay.</p><br>
<p>Most windows on the house are one-over-one double-hung sash with plain wooden surrounds. In the dormers, and on the east facet of the projecting bay, the windows are paired. A large oculus with crossed muntins and keystones is in the western gable apex on the south (front) facade, above a triple window. Two paired casement windows with decorative patterned glass are on the second story just south of the projecting bay, the only windows on that side of the second story.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In the late 1880s, Aspen was booming. Its mines produced silver in quantity, selling primarily to the USA government, required by the Sherman Silver Purchase Act to buy the metal to support the dollar. What had a decade earlier started as a primitive encampment of tents and log cabins was now a bustling settlement of almost 10,000 with luxury hotels and other amenities. Those who had grown rich from the boom built large houses for themselves in the city&#39;s West End.</p><br>
<p>Eben Smith was one. His mines in Aspen were among many he owned or co-owned in the state, and he did a lot to improve safety in the industry. Around 1890 he erected the house in the then-popular Queen Anne style. Two years later he left the city.</p><br>
<p>The Panic of 1893 ended the city&#39;s early growth. Congress repealed the Sherman Act to combat inflation. With the market no longer so sustained, the price of silver dropped and many mines became unprofitable and closed. Miners then went to work elsewhere. The houses that had been built fell vacant as the city entered a period now known as its "quiet years" when its population dwindled to ultimately less than a thousand by 1930.</p><br>
<p>During this period, Mansor Elisha, a Lebanese immigrant, came to Aspen. He managed to thrive despite the economy, and in 1911 became the owner of the Hotel Jerome, the only hotel in the city left from the early years. He did well enough that he was able to buy Smith&#39;s house for his family, preserving it from the neglect which led many other old buildings from the 1880s in the city to burn or collapse.</p><br>
<p>Elisha and his descendants owned or operated the Jerome for the next 50 years. During the latter half of that time, prosperity gradually began to return to Aspen as it developed into a ski resort and popular retreat for celebrities and corporate executives. The Aspen Skiing Company leased the hotel and let Laurence Elisha, Mansor&#39;s son, manage it until his death in 1968.</p><br>
<p>His widow Svea sold the hotel but kept the house until her own death in the mid-1980s. At that time, her estate objected to its listing on the Register along with other properties in the city&#39;s multiple property submission, and it was not listed until 1989. The following year it won an award from Colorado Preservation for excellence in the adaptive reuse of a residential structure. It was remodeled and has been used as offices for several businesses since then.</p><br>
<p>The Chicago and Northwestern Railroad Depot is a railroad station located between Suffolk and Lowell Streets in Ironwood, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Milwaukee, Lake Shore and Western Railroad line was laid through what is now Ironwood in 1884. At the time there were almost no people in the settlement, but the railroad and the surrounding virgin timber made the city a boomtown, which swelled to 11,000 people by 1892. but it quickly proved inadequate. In 1892, the company built this brick replacement at a cost of $18,000. In 1983, the former depot was purchased by the Downtown Ironwood Development Authority. It currently houses the Ironwood Area Historical Society.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Chicago and Northwestern Railroad Depot in Ironwood is a red brick and sandstone structure</p><br>
<p>The two buildings have vertically laid brown sandstone slabs on the bottom of the walls, rising to a height of about 5-1/2 feet. The walls are brick above. The depot&#39;s lower story has simple rectangular doorways and windows with one-over-one double hung windows. A triple-window bay which once housed ticket windows projects from the center of the trackside facade. The small second floor has three round-head window with sandstone sills, deeply recessed between sandstone</p><br>
<p>columns with foliated capitals. The projecting eaves of the main hipped roof are supported by large curved wooden brackets.</p><br>
<p>The interior of the main depot contains a train dispatcher&#39;s quarters and locker room on one side, a ticket office in the center, and a passenger waiting room</p><br>
<p>and rest rooms on the other side. The walls are plastered and painted white, and the floors are wooden. Many of the interior details are original, including the wainscoting, window trim, baseboards, and ceiling molding. The second story originally housed a railroad agent&#39;s office and small store room. The baggage structure has three rooms, one of which is the small addition.</p><br>
<p>The Gilliam and Bisbee Building is an historic commercial structure in Heppner in the USA state of Oregon.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Built in 1919 for the Gilliam and Bisbee Hardware Company to replace a building destroyed by fire in 1918, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.</p><br>
<p>The two-story rectangular building measures 50 by, and it has a full basement. The foundation and walls are made of concrete. The front facade is of tan-colored brick paired with darker brown brick above the storefront, its window pairs, and its decorative horizontal corbel courses. Strong vertical elements include pilasters that extend above the roof line and are topped with imitation chimney caps.</p><br>
<p>Originally, the first floor contained retail space, a stock room, a business office, a plumbing shop, a freight elevator (which served both floors and the basement), stairways, and perhaps a leased office. An open display space for farm implements occupied the second floor, also the likely site of a restroom.</p><br>
<p>Members of the Gilliam and Bisbee families, arriving in the 1860s, were among the earliest settlers in the region. Two members of the second generation, Timothy Bisbee and Frank Gilliam, both involved in stock raising, became brothers-in-law in 1882 and by 1889 were in business together as the Gilliam and Bisbee Hardware Company. Subsequent generations of both families worked in the store through the late 1950s.</p><br>
<p>In 2019, the Howard and Beth Bryant Foundation restored and renovated the Gilliam & Bisbee Building into an event center, apartment-like suites, and a conference room.</p><br>
<p>The Heppner Hotel is a building in Heppner, in the USA state of Oregon. Designed by architect John V. Bennes and built in 1919, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
<p>When it opened in 1920, the 48-room hostelry was the city&#39;s only hotel. A flash flood along Willow Creek destroyed one former hotel in 1903, and fire destroyed the other in 1918. Originally named the Hotel St. Patrick, it was soon renamed the Heppner Hotel.</p><br>
<p>Measuring 62 by at ground level, the hotel covers nearly all of the downtown lot on which it rests. As of 1982, it was the largest and tallest commercial structure in the city.</p><br>
<p>The three-story building is made of hollow clay tile and concrete with stucco facades and frameless windows. The west facade of the ground floor had a narrow central bay for the main entrance, and it was flanked by structural bays and bay windows opening on interior commercial space. The architecturally plain hotel had little exterior or interior decoration; however, the rooms on the second and third floors were capacious, and three-fourths of them had private baths.</p><br>
<p>The Morrow County Courthouse is a building in Heppner in the USA state of Oregon. Built in 1902&ndash;03, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985. It was among the early commissions of architect Edgar M. Lazarus.</p><br>
<p>Built on the site of an earlier courthouse made of wood, the two-story building is made of locally quarried dark blue basalt and lighter trim stone from quarries near Elgin and Baker. Features include a hip roof, a central entrance pavilion, and a domed cupola with clock faces on three sides.</p><br>
<p>The courthouse site is elevated above much of the rest of the city, and this saved the building from severe flood damage in 1903. County officials had moved into the building in March; in June of the same year, much of Heppner was destroyed and 247 people killed by a flash flood on Willow Creek, which bisects the city.</p><br>
<p>The Columbia Southern Railway Passenger Station and Freight Warehouse is a historic train station at the intersection of Clark and Fulton Streets in Wasco, Oregon. The station was built in 1898 by the Columbia Southern Railway as part of a new line connecting inland Oregon to the Columbia River. The Wasco depot served both passenger and freight trains along the route, which reached as far south as Shaniko and spurred economic development in the region. While the Oregon Trunk Railway&#39;s new line to Bend became the main inland Oregon route in 1911, the Columbia Southern route continued to serve Sherman County as a local route. Passenger service to Wasco ended in 1936, and a 1964 flood damaged the line severely enough to permanently end freight services as well.</p><br>
<p>The station was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on February 19, 1991.</p><br>
<p>The John and Helen Moore House is a historic house near Moro, Oregon, United States. It is an excellent example of the rural expression of the Italianate style in residential construction. Built in 1882, around the time of the first large-scale settlement of what became Sherman County, it is also one of the oldest houses in the county, and the only Italianate house in the region.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1994.</p><br>
<p>The John N. and Cornelia Watson House is a historic house located in Lakeview, Oregon.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Built in 1905 the house reflects Queen Anne and Stick architectural styles. The historic owner, John Watson, was nominated by Theodore Roosevelt and confirmed by the United States Senate for register of the United States General Land Office in Lakeview in 1903. The property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on February 21, 1989.</p><br>
<p>The Bailey and Massingill General Store is a historic commercial building in downtown Lakeview, Oregon, United States. Lakeviews first commercial establishment opened on the same site in 1876, and was purchased by partners Harry Bailey and W. A. Massingill in 1897. A large fire on the night of May 22, 1900, destroyed much of Lakeview, and Bailey and Massingill suffered the largest financial loss in town  with the complete destruction of their store. The partners immediately rebuilt their business, opening the present building on the same site in the same year. Drawing lessons from the fire, they incorporated a unique set of fire preventive features into the new building, including metal-sheathed walls and a fire awning  that could be dropped to protect the windows and entry. With these features, the building successfully survived another large fire in 1902, and continued as one of Lakeviews most important commercial enterprises.</p><br>
<p>The store was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.</p><br>
<p>The Ed Eskelin Ranch is a historic residential and agricultural complex in Lake County, Oregon, United States. As a historic resource, the complex captures elements of two different phases of early 20th century settlement in the Fort Rock basin. It represents the perseverance and resourcefulness required of modest-scale ranchers and farmers in frontier conditions and during economic hardship. Architecturally, the ranch preserves excellent examples of the construction styles and knowledge in use by common homesteaders in the period, as well as elements of the Finnish cultural heritage of the region.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The first influx of settlers began around 1909, driven by the 1909 Enlarged Homestead Act and the 1916 Stock-Raising Homestead Act, as well as Union Pacific Railroad promotion and publicity from the Lewis and Clark Centennial Exposition of 1905. Prominent among the settler population in this period were Finnish and Norwegian immigrant farmers including Fred Eskelin. However, many settlers were drawn by the unusually wet weather in years before 1909; when precipitation returned to its long-term, semiarid average, the large majority of settlers, including the Eskelin family, were unable to sustain agricultural operations in the dry conditions and abandoned their homesteads.</p><br>
<p>The second phase of settlement came in the 1930s with new approaches to irrigation that enabled production in the near-desert conditions of the Fort Rock basin. During this time, Fred and Ed Eskelin returned to the basin with their families and established a well drilling business alongside their agricultural operations. They built a new homestead, with both new construction as well as salvaging materials and whole buildings from disused properties around the area. The new homestead was laid out on a plan derived from traditional compounds in Finland; this Old World design provides a last link to the ethnic character of the first phase of settlement, which was all but extinguished except for the Eskelins. The success of this new venture led to Ed Eskelin&#39;s role as a prominent citizen in the basin, and to the long-term preservation of the homestead compound.</p><br>
<p>The complex was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991.</p><br>
<h2>Historic features</h2><br>

<p>The First Bank of Vale is a historic building located in Vale, Oregon. It was built in 1901 from completely from locally quarried native stone by local pioneers, the Hope brothers. The compact two story building is vernacular architecture of the Richardson Romanesque style. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on 5 March 1992.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Vale, Oregon was the first permanent settlement on the Oregon Trail in Malheur County. The early permanent structures in Vale, like the First Bank of Vale, were built of native sandstone at the turn of the 20th century. From 1906 on construction included the use of bricks. The erection of a stone hotel in 1872, now known as the Old Stone House is cited as the beginning of the development of the town. Vale became the permanent county seat of Malheur after three competitive elections and the county courthouse was built there in 1902. The First Bank of Vale was built and occupied in 1901 during the construction of the courthouse. It was the first financial institution in Vale to do business in a permanent building.</p><br>
<p>The bank was built by Milton and Isiah Hope, brothers whose land claims were among the originals in the founding of Vale. The Hope brothers built a home and store of native stone in the 1890s. They were stone masons, merchants and businessmen who were active in the management of the bank and helped fund construction of the courthouse. It is likely one of the brothers was chief builder/architect for the First Bank of Vale building. The First Bank of Vale was incorporated on 17 June 1901 with capital. The bank prospered in the ensuing years, besting a competitor that had come to town, The First National Bank. The First Bank of Vale built a new building in 1908 known as Drexel Hotel which is also listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The original First Bank of Vale building was sold back to the Hope brothers with the opening of the new three story complex (taller than the competitor&#39;s 1907 two-story building).</p><br>
<p>The First Bank of Vale building was remodeled inside with the change of ownership and utilization. It was used for office and retail space until the 1930s or 1940s at that time it was used for family apartments. The property changed hands numerous times after that, at one point Fred Burgess began a project to create a museum in the building. At that time it was known at the Burgess Building. After some time as a private residence the property fell into abandonment. At the time of listing on the National Register, the building was privately owned. The building retains much of its original character and material.</p><br>
<h2>Setting</h2><br>
<p>After the Old Stone House was built in 1872, it was expanded and frame buildings for a stable and blacksmith shop were built. The Hope Brothers Mercantile (Hope Brothers Building) was built in 1893. Together with the First Bank of Vale, this cluster all within one block and fronting on the Oregon Trail formed the downtown core of Vale. The property occupies the North 28.75 ft of Lot 3, Block 24 of the Original Plat of Vale. It measures 28.75 ft by 94 ft. This is the entire urban tax lot occupied by the First Bank of Vale from 1901 onward.</p><br>
<p>The street address is 148 Main Street South (zip code 97918). The building is on the east side of Main St. facing west. The First National Bank is the most intact clear example of vernacular architecture in the Richardson Romanesque style locally. It is one of a number of buildings that form a cluster unified by time period (1895–1907), building materials and Romanesque and Italianate architectural style. The banks character and presence outweigh its small footprint.</p><br>
<h2>Building</h2><br>
<p>The two-story structure is built completely of native stone with no brickwork excepting the four chimneys. The construction is attributed to the Hope Brothers and the stonework and materials are of high quality, despite being built in less than three months. It is 22 ft wide and 40 ft long. The main volume of the building is made of random–range dressed sandstone over rubble. The exterior walls are 16 in thick with lime and sand mortar. The front of the building is faced with rock–cut masonry and bold Romanesque trim elements. Parapet walls, stepped on the long sides, conceal a flat roof. The stone used for construction was quarried just south of Vale and was also shipped to other communities.</p><br>
<h3>Facade</h3><br>
<p>The facade wall runs straight up, having a coping course and a centered triangular crest with a ball finial. Openings, arranged symmetrically, are two large windows on the second floor with Roman arches and three-part arcade with the door at the south end alongside two store front windows all linked by Romanesque archivolts, textured voussoirs and rock-faced lobular pendants from the imposts. All windows have massive rock-faced lug sills. The windowed door has a transom with a round headed light. The first floor windows&#39; transoms are topped with stained glass fan lights. The upper floor windows are double–hung sash windows with panes and have transoms with round-headed lights. A unique pinnacle with a pedestal and ball design crowns the facade. The effect is an imposing frontage with the stereotypical features of a bank and strong Romanesque presence.</p><br>
<h3>Other elevations</h3><br>
<p>A stairway has been removed and the upstairs doorway converted to a window (believed to have been done on the south side of the building. This elevation remains otherwise unchanged with a parapet wall of uncoursed rubble fill with granite lintels and dressed facings. The north side, of the same construction, blocked from sight by the adjacent building on the first floor, the upper floor has two windows. These steel framed 4 ft by 8 ft twenty–four pane windows are probably not original.</p><br>
<p>The ground floor of the rear elevation is concealed by a 22 ft by 60 ft cinder block addition from 1980. The original ground floor rear door now opens into this addition. An original freight door with a 7 ft granite lintel that was 5 ft in height has been filled (perhaps as part of a repair of the fractured lintel) and covered by the cinder block construction. The second story has an original door opening onto the roof of the addition, indicating a rear stairway was also built with the building. A window on the second floor of this elevation has been cemented closed. Base construction of this wall is also uncoursed random rubble with dressed facings. The north and south walls are stepped and extend 2 ft to 3 ft above the roof. The original roof is covered, current roofing material is asphalt roll roofing.</p><br>
<h3>Interior</h3><br>
<p>A substantial remodel of the interior was done. An interior stairway was created and it is likely that plumbing and electricity were installed at this time. Outhouses were removed from under the outdoor stairway and a bathroom was built inside under the new stairs. Sewer pipe was run from the second floor. An interior six pane opaque window was cut to provide light from the front room was fashioned in one wall. On the second floor a bathroom was built and a wall moved. It is thought the rear opening lintel was first repaired at this time.</p><br>
<p>Other changes were made possibly in the 1930s or 1940s. Upstairs rooms were further divided, the windows were made in the north wall, the rear second-floor window was cemented as was the large rear opening. A room in the rear of the second floor was made into a kitchen with a formed concrete chimney. Crude remodels were done likely in the 1970s. Second-floor joists suffered fire damage and were double and re–enforced. Some of these changes obscured but did not remove original features. The attempt to create a museum in the building resulted in wire mesh on the windows and the cinder block addition. The original floor was covered in 1980 when concrete slab was poured for the museum project. Use a private residence in the following years brought on an attempted remodel that removed much of the previous changes but was not completed. At the time of listing on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) the interior had substantial debris and the roof was in need of repair.</p><br>
<p>Despite the alterations and disrepair, the interior retains much of the original design and details.</p><br>
<h2>Preservation</h2><br>
<p>In 2018 the Malheur Country Historical Society negotiated to buy the First National Bank of Vale from Steven Reynolds.

<p>The Lilly Kirk House is a historic house built in 1923 and located in Bothell, Washington in King County.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The house was built by W.C. "Bill" Mortenson in 1923 and is an example of the American Craftsman style of architecture. The one and a half story wood-frame house sits on a concrete foundation and has a gabled shingle roof. It displays the low pitched gabled roof with wide open eaves, exposed rafters and ornamented braces characteristic of the American Craftsman style. Exterior wall finishing is alternating narrow and wide stained wood shingle. The house is at the rear of a 4.4 acre lot in the Maywood / Beckstrom Hill neighborhood in Bothell. Lawrence and Lilly Kirk owned a business in Bothell and Mortenson, Lilly Kirk&#39;s brother, was a Seattle builder and contractor who later moved his business to Bothell. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on March 9, 1995.</p><br>
<p>The Sorenson House is a historic house located in Bothell, Washington. It was built in 1922 by James Sorenson and is an example of American Craftsman Bungalow architecture. The interior displays artistic heights of the American Arts and Crafts style. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places  on March 9, 1995.</p><br>
<h2>Setting</h2><br>
<p>The City of Bothell is on the border of King and Snohomish counties in western Washington state. The Sammamish River crosses the south part of the city as it flows from Lake Sammamish on the southeast to Lake Washington to the northeast. Homes built on Bothell between 1905 and 1925 were suburban with post–Victorian and Craftsman styles. The Sorenson House was built in 1922 on a 4 acre parcel of land given to James Sorenson by his father in law Alfred Pearson. Pearson was a local logger and contemporary of the town&#39;s founder David Bothell. The property the house occupied when listed on the NRHP was the remaining 0.729 acre. The house was moved about 600 ft north to a single–family lot in 2015.</p><br>
<p>The original site was atop a steep north facing slope. The facade faced west and approach in 1994 was from the east, a route which passed Pearson&#39;s own home. It is unclear if the original approach was from this direction and the house was just oriented toward the best views or if there was a westerly approach leading to the facade and entrance.</p><br>
<h2>James Sorenson</h2><br>
<p>James "Jim" Sorensen, a Danish immigrant, trained in shipbuilding as a carpenter before coming to America. In 1910 he married Mary Pearson and began a business partnership with William Schrotke in woodworking, cabinet making and contracting. He built many Craftsman style homes popular in architectural pattern books and enjoyed a good reputation. None of his other extant buildings display the degree of style and scale as his own home. In describing the home the NRHP nomination reads, "His talent and success at his trade are most evident in his beautifully executed home." and regarding the interior, "Mr. Sorenson, the builder, seeming used all his artistry in his own home to create a truly elegant setting." Sorenson died of tuberculosis in 1938.</p><br>
<h2>Building</h2><br>
<p>The story home has an irregular floor plan. It is complex but sturdy and orderly. Well ornamented with features like triangular knee braces and decoratively shaped barge boards covering the rafter ends over wide open eaves on the gable ends. With its bold geometric lines and smooth curves there is no suggestion of gingerbread. A multiplanar roof breaks the mass into comfortable orderly elements tied together with scale and balance. The low pitched gables on the facade with two symmetrical gabled projecting bays maintain a modest scale while the cross gabled corner porch extending north and wrapping east gives the building substantial mass and presence. The battered brick piers rising to halfway between porch floor and ceiling from ground level supporting tapered square wood columns add to the weight of the house and pilasters at the height of porch rail of the same board reinforce the Craftsman styling.</p><br>
<p>The former Auburn Post Office building is located in the City of Auburn, 20 Auburn Avenue NE at First Street NE. This is one block north Main Street, the historic business and commercial center. The main entrance is the west face on Auburn Avenue.</p><br>
<h2>Exterior</h2><br>
<p>The former Post Office is a small, single-purpose building. Constructed in 1937 as a one-story building, 60.66 ft wide by 83 ft long, with a covered loading platform in back. The exterior is red brick on a poured concrete foundation with sandstone trim elements. These include a horizontal band below the cornice, and engaged sandstone piers adjacent to the main entry.</p><br>
<p>In the center of the front façade are five granite steps flanked by original wrought-iron ornamental lampposts. The wooden double entry doors have a transom windows above and large rectangular windows on either side. The remaining windows are gently arched wood windows with divided lights and poured concrete sills. Each features a soldier course of red brick at the headers.</p><br>
<p>The roof is a lateral hip, with a metal cupola featuring glass panes and a weathervane. An east-facing skylight with operable windows runs along the base of the hipped roof. The original roof was tile. A raised, covered loading dock was constructed at the rear of the building. A cornerstone on the northwest corner of the front facade provides the names of the architect and the supervising engineer, the Postmaster General, and the Secretary of the Treasury that year.</p><br>
<h2>Interior</h2><br>
<p>The building has an L-shaped lobby, 14 ft wide and 46 ft on the front and 32 ft on the back or south side. The postal clerks counter and windows ran nearly the length of the lobby with the post box area located at the south end. A full wall with grilled postal clerk windows separated the public and private functions of the post office. Interior finish materials in the lobby area included Alaskan marble wainscoting, mahogany window and door trim, and terrazzo flooring. The building contained 11 rooms, including restrooms, work rooms and Postmasters office, and a full basement with storage, fuel and boiler rooms.</p><br>
<h2>Present appearance</h2><br>
<p>The former Auburn Post Office building was purchased by the King County Department of Public Health and remodeled for use as a health clinic in 1964. The exterior alterations include construction of a 19 ft long by 22 ft deep brick addition to the rear covered loading dock; construction of an ADA accessible ramp along the north side leading to a basement entrance; installation of an arched fabric awning over the primary building entrance; and the addition of new building signage. The changes are not visible from the front. The roof has been changed from tile to asphalt shingles but the original cupola still crowns the building.</p><br>
<p>The building interior was extensively remodeled in 1964. Spaces were sub-divided to create smaller offices and exam rooms, the lobby/reception area was reconfigured as the wall originally separating the post office lobby area from the back-of-the-house was removed and replaced with a reception counter, and the rear addition was added to create a nurse&#39;s work room. The buildings interior bears little resemblance to its historic use as a post office.</p><br>
<p>The Auburn Public Library is a former library building located in Auburn, Washington listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>The Auburn Carnegie library is a rectangular 2-story brick building with a cast concrete foundation. It has a hip roof with a slight flare at the projecting eaves. The roof is composition tile. The building measures 35 by, and there is a 4 by extension at the center of the west facade.</p><br>
<p>The extension projects above the eaves. The gable is highlighted with a parapet trimmed with pressed metal. A 12 ft cast stone entrance arch with two panel doors in the face of the extension forms the main entry.</p><br>
<p>Fenestration consists of long casement windows in front and smaller ones on the sides and in back. Above each is a small fixed window divided by muntins into eight triangular panes.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Women volunteers promoted and staffed the early libraries of Auburn. In 1912, the city was promised $9,000 by Andrew Carnegie for a library. It opened in 1914. The land was donated by Mr. and Mrs. Authur C. Ballard, who originally had plated Auburn as the "Town of Slaughter." The donation contained a condition that the land would revert to the original owners when it ceased to be used for a library. The Carnegie building served the community for many years, but it ultimately proved too small to hold all the books and magazines it owned. In 1962, a $225,000 bond issue was approved by the voters and a new library opened in 1964. The proviso about the land being used for library purposes was then discovered and the property reverted to the Ballard family.</p><br>
<p>It is a pure example of the typical Carnegie Library and is unaltered. The architect made a conscientious effort to incorporate all Carnegie&#39;s suggestions for library design, and all the elements of what Carnegie considered important are faithfully represented.</p><br>

<p>Patton Bridge is a bridge located in Auburn, Washington listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>The bridge spans the Green River near metropolitan Auburn, Washington. It was designed by bridge engineer and designer Homer M. Hadley. The combination of concrete and steel box girders employed in the bridge&#39;s represents a variation of the box girder bridge style. The Patton Bridge was the only structure built between 1941 and 1950, which exhibits this innovative modification of the box girder design.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>Built in 1950, the Patton Bridge spans the Green River near the city of Auburn in King County, Washington. The bridge is a three-span cantilever with two anchor arms, two cantilever arms and a suspended section. It includes a combination of concrete and steel box girders. The bridge was designed by Homer M. Hadley, a consulting engineer from Washington State.</p><br>
<p>The anchor arms and cantilever arms are multiple box, two-cell reinforced concrete box girders. The suspended section consists of two spread, welded steel box girders with reinforced concrete deck. The concrete deck is fixed to the top flange plate of the girders with steel shear developers. Utilization of this deck design allows the concrete deck and steel box girders to act in composite design; i.e., the bottom flange of the steel box resists tensile forces while the concrete deck resists compressive forces.</p><br>
<p>The Patton Bridge&#39;s anchor arms are 115 ft feet long, the cantilever arms are 50 ft long, and the suspended span is 100 ft. The bridge has a total length of 430 ft. The center span of 200 ft is the longest box girder span constructed in the state during the 1940s.</p><br>

<p>The Solomon S. Curry House is a private house located at 631 East McLeod Avenue in Ironwood, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982 and designated a Michigan State Historic Site in 1977.</p><br>
<h2>Solomon S. Curry</h2><br>
<p>Solomon S. Curry was born on June 12, 1840, in Curry Hill, Lancaster Township, Ontario, the son of Solomon Curry and Anna Southerland Wood Curry. Curry&#39;s father died six months before he was born, and his mother soon remarried, to Alexander McLeod. Curry stayed with the family until he was sixteen, at which time he moved to Potsdam, New York and apprenticed to a blacksmith for three years. He then left to work as a supply clerk for a lumbering firm from Trenton, Ontario. Curry continued in the lumber business until 1861, when emigres from the United States, moving to Canada to avoid military service in the Civil War, flooded the labor market. Curry moved on to Michigan, first to Detroit, and then up to Houghton, where he got a position at the Quincy Mining Company. Curry moved from mine to mine in the Upper Peninsula, learning the trade, and was soon in charge of a small iron mine.</p><br>
<p>In 1873, Curry moved to Ishpeming, Michigan, where he opened the Curry Mine. Curry himself moved to the Ironwood area in 1883, and was instrumental in establishing Ironwood as one of the larger cities in the area. Much of the town was laid out by Curry. Metropolitan earned a substantial profit for a number of years until the Panic of 1896, when Curry lost control of the company.</p><br>
<p>Curry was also an active politician. He also established both the First National Bank of Ironwood and the People&#39;s Bank of Ironwood, and was the first president of both institutions.</p><br>
<p>In 1867, Curry married Elizabeth Stoup of Ann Arbor, Michigan. The couple had two children: George A. Curry and Mrs. Anna (Ralph) Bartlett. Elizabeth Curry died on April 21, 1914. Curry died on July 29, 1929, and is interred in Riverside Cemetery in Ironwood.</p><br>
<h2>House history</h2><br>
<p>In 1887, fire destroyed much of the town of Ironwood. After the fire, Curry purchased land and built this house for his own use. After Curry&#39;s death in 1929, the house was used as a hospital and a nursing home. The balcony on the second floor was enclosed in 1913 and a kitchen was added to the rear in 1952. The house was later turned into an antique shop and private residence.</p><br>

<p>The Horatio and Laura Allen Farm is a historic farm property located in Duvall, Washington. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on March 22, 2002. The farm is an exemplary instance of a dairy farm in the Snoqualmie Valley, as one of the earliest and largest dairy farms in the area, situated against the hillside above Cherry Creek.</p><br>
<p>Horatio Lysander Allen came to the Pacific Northwest from Minnesota in 1883, and in 1884 settled near present-day Duvall. In 1902, he purchased 400 acres and began dairy farming. He served on the local school board, and the board of directors of the Duvall State Bank. He and his son Harry platted the town of Duvall.</p><br>
<p>The current farmhouse was built in 1924 to replace the previous farmhouse, which was lost to fire in 1923. Two large dairy barns and a free-standing milkhouse were built in 1926.</p><br>
<p>The new farmhouse was a large, two-story wood-frame dwelling with craftsman style features (a steeply pitched cross-gabled roof has broad shed-roofed wall dormers to the front and rear). While the original front entrance faced toward the old railroad right-of-way on the hillside, a southeast wing of the house was added in the 1980s with a formal entrance at ground level.</p><br>
<p>The farm remained in the Allen Family until sold in the 1950s, after which it was further subdivided into smaller parcels. About 65 of the original 400 acres are still attached to the farmhouse.</p><br>
<p>The James W. Clise House is a house built for and occupied by Seattle real estate pioneer James W. Clise  and his wife Anna Herr Clise . The house and 440-acre model dairy farm became Marymoor Park in Redmond, Washington, United States, and the house is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The house was built in 1904 by Seattle businessman James W. Clise as a hunting lodge he named Willowmoor. He later decided to make it his family&#39;s primary residence. The house was added onto, with the original lodge becoming the south wing of the current larger building. Additions were completed in the 1920s which brought the house to 28 rooms; including ten bedrooms, seven bathrooms, two kitchens, two dining rooms, a game room, a family room, and a library.</p><br>
<p>The surrounding estate was enlarged as well, and by 1917 included more than 350 acres and nearly 30 buildings. Eventually the estate was renamed Marymoor after one of Clise&#39;s daughters.</p><br>
<p>In 1963, King County purchased the estate for use as a public park. The house and its immediate surroundings were added to the NRHP in 1973.</p><br>
<p>The Edward Albert Palmer Memorial Chapel and Autry House is a two-part building complex located at Rice University in Houston, Texas. It houses the James L. Autry House, which was built in 1921 by the Episcopal Church as a community center for the university.</p><br>
<p>A temporary community center was built on the location (at 6265 Main Blvd.) in 1919 by Rev. Harris Masterson, Jr., and replaced in 1921 with a permanent building designed by architects Cram & Ferguson and William Ward Watkin. Due to the lack of public gathering areas at Rice University before the opening of the Fondren Library in 1949, and aided by the cheap food served by the Autry Houses cafeteria, it became the universitys de facto community center for several decades. A student chapel was built next door in 1927, quickly expanding into a full-fledged church, Palmer Memorial Episcopal Church, in 1929.</p><br>
<p>As Rice University&#39;s campus added a number of community facilities in the 1940s and 1950s that rendered those at Autry House redundant, the house began outreach towards students and employees at the Texas Medical Center, and continued to operate a cafeteria. The house was renovated in the 1970s, and added an art gallery focusing on the work of student artists; in the 1980s, it was opened to a number of community groups, such as the Houston Youth Chorus and the American Cancer Society. The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.</p><br>
<p>In 2001, the house was merged administratively and architecturally with Palmer Memorial Episcopal Church: a "bridge building" was built connecting the two buildings, and the church took over operation and maintenance of the house.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places within "Edward Albert Palmer Memorial Chapel and Autry House" in 1984. The listing included work designed by architects Ralph Adams Cram, William Ward Watkin, John Fanz Staub, and Pompeo Coppini.</p><br>

In 1910, the Wright Land Company set aside some eight lots in the northeast portion of the subdivision for a community park and named it Independence Park. The park provided important community space for church gatherings, school activities, and annual Juneteenth celebrations. Although parks were often part of white neighborhoods during this period, few African American communities had such dedicated space and few larger community parks were open to blacks."</p><br>
<p>Elsewhere segregation in parks "was enforced by custom first and then by local ordinance in 1922".</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register in 1997 as "Independence Park".</p><br>
<p>Causeyville, Mississippi  is a small community in southeastern Lauderdale County, Mississippi, about twelve miles southeast of the city of Meridian. The Causeyville Historic District consists of four buildings at the center of the community — two general stores and two residences — that exemplify the pivotal contribution that small communities like Causeyville made to the development of Lauderdale County. The district was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Established in 1833, Lauderdale County has always been one of the most prosperous counties in Mississippi. Meridian, the county seat, is located at the intersection of several major railroads and thus served as a transportation hub for early Lauderdale County. Locals in the farming and timber industries sent their products to Meridian to be loaded onto the trains and shipped to other cities.</p><br>
<p>With the exception of Meridian, Lauderdale County is mostly rural, remaining largely as it was at the turn of the 20th century and even earlier. Before automobiles and personal transportation became widespread, many of the early settlers of Lauderdale County grouped into small population clusters that relied nearly entirely on local resources, each community isolated from the others. Some communities like Causeyville had a store, and some had post offices and other infrastructural institutions, but many did not have any of these buildings.</p><br>
<p>Causeyville, named after a local family that settled the area in the 1820s, thrived in the pre–Civil War era. The community was a commercial center in southeastern Lauderdale County, and its inhabitants also produced lumber and agricultural products. Though most of the buildings that fed the local economy have long been demolished, there are pictures of an antebellum store, a cotton gin, and a sawmill used for a local logging company. The four buildings in the Causeyville Historic District were built between 1860 and 1930 and demonstrate the community&#39;s growth during that period. All four buildings are located along Causeyville Road; the two general stores are on the northern side of the road, and the two residences face the stores on the southern side. The four buildings in the district are all that remain of this economy.</p><br>
<h2>Contributing properties</h2><br>
<h3>Raynor&#39;s store</h3><br>
<p>The R.S. Raynor store is the oldest of the four buildings in the district, built around 1860, and it still retains most of its original board and batten siding. The building also retains the original design of the undercut porch, which runs along the southern and eastern sides of the buildings, although it was reconstructed in the latter half of the 20th century. It is rumored that the pine boards used to construct the inner walls of the store were cut at the sawmill that used to exist behind the store.</p><br>
<p>The building was originally a trading post between European settlers and Choctaw Indians but was repurposed to serve as a community post office in 1894. Many maps still use "Increase" for the community. When the Increase post office was discontinued in 1929, the community was officially called "Causeyville".</p><br>
<p>After T.J. Bosticks store was built in 1895, Raynors store served as a warehouse for Bosticks lumber mill and turpentine manufacturing business. During the 1920s, the original wooden roof was replaced with a tin one, which is still in place today. The building was used as a cotton warehouse in the 1930s and as an auto repair garage in the 1940s. In 1943, the original wooden floor was removed and replaced with cement, and garage doors were installed on the eastern side of the building. The garage doors were later removed when the building was repurposed yet again as the Lauderdale County Equipment Maintenance Shop throughout the 1950s and 60s, as a warehouse again between 1976 and 1983, and finally as a commercial building again after 1983. Other alterations to the original design include the addition of an interior wall to shield customers from the dust produced by the grist mill in the rear of the building and the addition of two small rooms–one at the rear of the building and the other on the western side–that served as a grist mill equipment shed and a feed storage area. The additions were built with materials similar to those used in the original design.</p><br>
<h3>T.J. Bostick&#39;s store</h3><br>
<p>The T.J. Bostick Store has sold merchandise continuously since it was built in 1895. Over its lifespan it has more than tripled in size, being home a different points throughout its history to a post office, a barbershop, a doctors office, a drug store, the town hall, a voting precinct, a Ford dealership, a residence, a feed and fertilizer storage area, a theater, and a storage area for merchandise. The post office was moved from Raynors store when Bosticks was built in 1895, and it remained in Bosticks store until 1929. The building was split into two halves in the 1930s and later recombined in 1983.</p><br>
<p>The original facade is now covered by a false front parapet on which many commercial signs have hung throughout the buildings lifetime. A room was added to the southeast corner of the house to hold the doctors office, and a covered patio previously held the grist mill now in Raynor&#39;s store. The back of the store today holds a mechanical music museum, which is home to antique music boxes, player pianos, movie posters, and other antique instruments.</p><br>
<p>Though the store originally began as a general store, it has slowly morphed into something akin to a convenient store as culture has evolved to be more automobile-centered. When the Hagwood family bought the store in 1942, their son Leslie remembers people buying an entire month&#39;s supply, but by the 1980s, that no longer happened. Hagwood told the Kentucky New Era in 1988 that the store could no longer be defined as a true country store because his main competitors were convenient stores.</p><br>
<h3>James E. Smith house</h3><br>
<p>The James E. Smith house was built in 1895 in the Queen Anne Cottage style. Smith, the houses original owner was a partner of Bosticks in his store. Smiths son, Grady W. Smith, was the first president of the East Mississippi Electric Power Association (EMEPA) and helped bring electricity to Causeyville through the Rural Electrification Act. Will Bostick, one of T.J.s sons, rented a room in the house for a few years while managing the lumbermill onsite.</p><br>
<h3>J.W. Grantham house</h3><br>
<p>When the Bosticks moved to Meridian in about 1905, J.W. Grantham bought the Bostick store as well as this house across the street from the Raynor&#39;s store. Grantham continued to operate the store until the 1930s.</p><br>
<p>Polly Bemis House was the home of pioneers to Idaho County, Idaho, USA, Charles Bemis and his wife Polly Bemis, who lived alongside the Salmon River in the late 19th and early 20th century. Polly was a Chinese American former teenage slave whose story became a biographical novel and was fictionalized in the 1991 film A Thousand Pieces of Gold.</p><br>
<h2>History and background</h2><br>
<p>Charlie and Polly Bemis were among the first pioneers to settle along the Salmon River (The River of No Return), only a few yards from the riverside. Even today this house is not accessible by road; boats are a common means of access. In 1923, Peter Klinkhammer and Charlie Shepp, who lived on the other side of the Salmon River on the east side of the confluence of Crooked Creek, helped Polly to rebuild a new home in the same spot as the one that burned down. Except for a short stay in Warren, Idaho, she lived there until 1933, when she moved to Grangeville, Idaho, dying shortly thereafter.</p><br>
<p>The Polly Bemis House is located 44 mi east of Riggins, Idaho, and 17 mi north of Warren, Idaho.</p><br>
<p>The house meets two criteria of the National Register of Historic Places: criterion A for its connection with the social history of Chinese women in Idaho and criterion C as an excellent example of wooden logs and shingles construction and of the gable-front single-pen dwellings used in the central Idaho mountains. Some stone was also used in its construction. Chinese miners made up almost half the population of this region during the late 1800s but suppression forced most to move to Chinatowns on the west coast. Few records exist of most of them, but there are many documents about Polly, making her home and experience significant.</p><br>
<p>It is now part of the 26 acre non-profit Polly Bemis Ranch.</p><br>
<p>The home of Klinkhammer and Shepp is now a guest ranch known as Shepp Ranch.</p><br>
<p>Lewisville Park is a 154-acre regional park located on the East Fork Lewis River, two miles north of Battle Ground in Clark County, Washington. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The park was built starting in 1936 as a Works Progress Administration (WPA) recreational center project. The architecture and overall design of the park is intentionally rustic, a common idiom promoted by federal land management agencies in the early part of the 20th century. Lewisville park is the oldest in the county park system and is one of the most significant and lasting examples of the WPA in Clark County.</p><br>
<p>Several of the existing structures were built by WPA workers between 1936 and 1940 and were still existing when the park was added to the national register, including a caretaker&#39;s cottage, bathhouse, kitchen, one large and two small shelters. All were built to appear non-intrusive and used local logs and rocks in their construction. Several other buildings, not a part of the historic register list, were built in the 1950s and 1960s and maintained the natural aesthetic designs of the existing structures.</p><br>
<h2>Present day</h2><br>
<p>Facilities include: a swimming hole (no lifeguard on duty); nature trails; playgrounds; a tennis/basketball court and sports fields; fishing; and other facilities typical of large regional asset parks.</p><br>
<p>The Venersborg School is a historic one-room school located at NE 209th Street and NE 242nd Avenue in Battle Ground, Washington.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The school is archetypical of the one room schoolhouse with its simple rectangular plan and gabled roof. The building has served the community which built it from construction to the present day.</p><br>
<h3>Community schoolhouse</h3><br>
<p>The small, red, one-and-one-half story gabled building with a cupola and bell was built in 1912 by John Kullberg. Kullberg, a Swedish immigrant, was a carpenter who also built a number of homes in the community and a church. The building stopped functioning as a school in 1931 when the Battle Ground school district absorbed the student population.</p><br>
<h3>Community activity center</h3><br>
<p>The next year it was purchased by the Venersborg Social and Athletic Club which had formed in 1915. The club was forced to discontinue its popular entertainment due to issues with crowd control. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on March 16, 1989. It is listed in the Washington Heritage Register as the state&#39;s oldest community center in operation. The roof was replaced by the Venersborg Historic Preservation Society in 2018, the building continues to serve as a center for community activities and a venue for wedding banquets for the church next door. The facility is managed by the Venersborg Community Club.</p><br>
<p>The Amboy United Brethren Church, also known as the Evangelical United Brethren Church and the Dora Young Chapel, is an historical church located at 21416 NE 399th Street, in Amboy, Washington.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Built in 1910 by Emanuel Jensen in Gothic Revival style, the church was erected on a property given to the congregation by Emily Holcomb. The church was formally dedicated by Rev. Dora Young, Rev. J.L. Garret and Rev. D.L. Peterson on September 25, 1910. Due to the growing congregation, in 1936 the church was raised to install a full basement which provided meeting space, restrooms and a kitchen area. In 1946 the congregation&#39;s name was changed to the "Evangelical United Brethren Church" due to the merge of the Church of the United Brethren in Christ with the Evangelical Church. In the 1950s the church steeple was removed and by 1966 the membership had become fragmented and the building was showing signs of decay. The church was closed that same year and became a private property. In 1988 the building was offered to a group of volunteers who started a fundraising project to create a museum in the building. The North Clark Historical Museum opened on June 24, 2000. Displays include antiques and household items, photos, agriculture tools and equipment, American Indian culture, pioneer heritage and logging.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2008.</p><br>
<p>The Farrell Building, also known as the Charlie and Rose Farrell Building, the C. E. Farrell Building, the Golden Rule Store, JCPenney, the Fashionette and Farrell & Eddy Department Store, is a historic commercial building located at 305 Northeast 4th Avenue in Camas, Washington. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on March 15, 2006.</p><br>
<p>The two-story building was completed for Charles Farrell by the local builder John Roffler in 1924 in the early commercial style of architecture. The building replaced a previous 1887 structure which was demolished. The downstairs space was rented to the chain store "The Golden Rule", which later became the JCPenney company.</p><br>
<p>Charles Farrell&#39;s widow Rose and her sister Anna Roffler Eddy moved their "The Fashionette" store into the building in 1935. In 1955, the Farrell Building was closed for modernization in an effort to keep up with other newer department stores.</p><br>
<p>At the time of its closure in 1998, the building and business was under the ownership of a third generation of the Farrell family.</p><br>
<p>In 2004, JoAnn Taylor purchased the Farrell Building and renovated all three floors, including the residential apartments upstairs. Taylor opened Camas Antiques on the two lower levels, intending to make Camas a destination location for antiques collectors. Taylor sold the building in 2014, but continued to lease space for Camas Antiques.</p><br>
<p>The Pittock House also known as Lakeside and the Leadbetter House is a historic house located in Camas, Washington, United States. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on July 3, 1979.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Henry L. Pittock had the house built for his son and daughter–in–law Frederick and Bertha Leadbetter Pittock when they married in 1902. The property is 3 acre with 484.2 ft of shoreline on La Camas Lake.Although it was built as a farmhouse the Queen Anne style building reflects the wealth and stature of the residents. The basic floor plan is a two and half story rectangle, 36 ft by 63 ft with a prominent three story bay with a conical roof.</p><br>
<h2>Modern times</h2><br>
<p>In 2013 a group of 11 property owners in the north shore area of Lacamas Lake were in the process of moving a development proposal that included preservation of the Pittock House and another property through the county government. The group included Pittock heirs.</p><br>
<p>The John Roffler House is a historic house located at 1437 NE Everett Street in Camas, Washington.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The two story wood frame Roffler House sits on the southwest corner of NE 15th Street and Everett Street across from Crown Park in Camas&#39; upper residential area. The floor plan is an L shape with intersecting two story wings with gabled roofs. The facade features a porch with roof sheltering the square entry bay. The foundation is concrete and wall treatments are drop siding with corner boards on the lower floor and shingles on the upper. The roof material is wood shingles added in a modern renovation. At the juncture of the wings a brick chimney extends above the roof ridge. An engaged turret rises above the entry porch roof. Large bay windows in the gable ends light the first floor, a projecting bay on the east wing has three tall one over one double hung sash. Window framing is plain wood surrounds. The north gable end has a box bay with a tripartite window arrangement covered by a pent roof.</p><br>
<p>John Roffler was the community&#39;s most prolific architect/builder. This building was constructed to be his family home. It was the first execution of a design by Roffler in Camas. Roffler impacted the built environment of the community more than any other individual. The property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on April 29, 1993.</p><br>
<p>The Hidden Houses are a pair of historic houses located in Vancouver, Washington. They are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>The historic Lowell M. Hidden and W. Foster Hidden houses have helped shaped the face of Vancouver, Washington. The Hidden family has been present in Vancouver since the 1860s with Lowell Mason Hidden being the first to arrive from New England in 1864.</p><br>
<p>In 1871, Lowell M. Hidden started the Hidden Brick Company. It&#39;s estimated that 60 million bricks were made there and built many of the historic buildings in downtown Vancouver including the Mother Josephs Providence Academy in 1873, and the St James Cathedral in 1885.</p><br>
<p>Lowell M. Hidden died in 1923 and his sons W. Foster and Oliver Hidden took over the brick company. The partnership ended in 1940 when Oliver Hidden died, leaving the company to W. Foster. Today, the Brick company is owned by Robert Hidden, W. Fosters son, who took over the business after W. Foster died in 1963.</p><br>

<p>The House of Providence, also known as The Academy , is a former orphanage and school located in Vancouver, Washington. It was built c. 1873 by Mother Joseph of the Sacred Heart.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Mother Joseph Pariseau raised money for the construction of the House of Providence and other charitable institutions by leading begging tours through local mining camps. The building, constructed in 1873 and designed by Pariseau, has three stories and was constructed in brick in a neo-Georgian style. The house functioned as a school until 1969.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.</p><br>
<p>The John P. and Mary Kiggins House is a 2.5-story craftsman style house located in Vancouver, Washington. The house was constructed in 1907 for John P. Kiggins, a Vancouver businessman and theater owner who served nine terms as mayor and sponsored many civic improvement projects. The architect and builder of the house are unknown, although Kiggins was trained as a building contractor and may have built the house himself.</p><br>
<p>The Kiggins family owned the house until 1994. At that time it was sold and converted to office space, although much of the original details were preserved.</p><br>
<p>The site of original construction was East Evergreen Boulevard and C Street, but a 2008 downtown redevelopment plan, including a new community library, required that the Kiggins house be moved. After considerable preparation, the house was moved to 24th and H Streets in the Arnada neighborhood.</p><br>
<p>The Slocum House is a Victorian style house located in Vancouver, Washington, in the United States, which today stands at the southwest corner of Esther Short Park. It is the only surviving structure in its former residential neighborhood of the Vancouver historic core.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture and construction</h2><br>
<p>The style also has been called Carpenter Victorian to emphasize both the vertical, Italianate features and the skill of craftsmanship, believed to be the work of Edward Slocum, brother of the owner. Ornamental medallions inside the house were signed and included patent dates from 1842 and 1846, although the house is believed by some to have been constructed in 1867. The 1867 date is not supported by local newspaper reports as there was no dwelling on the land at this time, and Charles W. Slocum was still busy in other areas of the Pacific Northwest. However many websites and reference books do mention the 1867 date, perhaps using a common source.</p><br>
<p>After returning to Washington Territory in 1869, Slocum became interested in building a mansion in the vicinity of downtown Vancouver. The foundation was laid in May 1877, further progress despite "its large dimensions, and the substantial character of the materials and work" was reported in late June 1877, and work was completed by the beginning of 1878. When completed and unveiled to society on New Year&#39;s Day in 1878, the Vancouver Independent reported:</p><br>
<p>Mr. and Mrs. Charles Slocum received their friends at their elegant new home on New Year&#39;s day. They have now finished and nearly furnished one of the handsomest residences in Washington Territory. For completeness, neatness, convenience, and architectural beauty, it discounts any house we know of in the country. Their friends are glad to see them so agreeably situated.Charles W. Slocum had been trained as a carpenter in Rhode Island, and in 1857 he arrived in Vancouver and worked as a carpenter at the Vancouver Barracks. Later, he became superintendent of the barracks. In 1860, Slocum opened several general stores in the Pacific Northwest. He is credited with platting the town of Boise, Idaho, in 1863.</p><br>
<h2>History and ownership</h2><br>
<p>In 1929, the house was sold to the family of Frederick Leadbetter, and it was used as an office for the Columbia River Paper Company until the 1960s.</p><br>
<h2>Restoration</h2><br>
<p>The house had been abandoned in 1965, and had been scheduled to be demolished, with one city councilman calling it "the worst eyesore I&#39;ve even seen". Robert Hidden of the Fort Vancouver Historical Society and Hermine Decker of the Old Slocum House Theatre Company spearheaded the drive to restore the historic structure as a community theatre. It was moved one block from its original location in 1966, and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973. The Slocum House is the only surviving structure in its former residential neighborhood of the Vancouver historic core.</p><br>
<p>After seven years and an estimated 500,000 hours of volunteer work, the house finally satisfied city fire and safety codes in August 1974, and had already hosted 11 plays in the 60-seat theatre. Modern plays, however, were not among the offerings; as Decker told The Columbian in 1983, "We feel all our plays should be 19th century, to complement the historic house." Community theatre productions were ongoing as of 2011.</p><br>
<p>In August 2019, the website for the Slocum House, which had previously advertised the site&#39;s availability for weddings, parties, and other gatherings, announced that it was "not accepting new events".</p><br>
