<p>Everett City Hall is the name given to a building located in Everett, Washington listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The building originally served as the city hall when it was built in 1929; it was extensively renovated from 1977 to 1979, with the city renting the Roosevelt School from the Everett School District during that time. However, for all practical purposes, it no longer serves this role; the mayor&#39;s office and city administration were relocated to the nearby Wall Street Building, which the city bought in 1991 for $11.2 million, around 1993. The building is currently used by the police department and by the city council to hold public meetings.</p><br>
<h2>Renaming effort</h2><br>
<p>In the summer of 2011, members of the community proposed that the building be renamed "William E. Moore Historic City Hall" in honor of Bill Moore, who served as mayor of Everett from 1977 to 1990. However, the nonprofit group Historic Everett pointed out that the proposal violates a city policy that prohibits renaming buildings that are on historical registries. The city council voted unanimously in 2012 to relax the naming policy, and also name the building after Moore. A formal dedication ceremony was held on September 13, 2014, installing a plaque at the building.</p><br>

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on June 3, 1976. In 1994 it was restored and redeveloped into low income housing.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The six story brick building was largest hotel project in Everett. It was built on the site of the original Monte Cristo Hotel, which opened in 1892 and had hosted the Providence Hospital from 1905 to 1924. Construction was a community project with hundreds of stockholders. Designed by Seattle architect Henry Bittman the hotel opened on May 29, 1925. The 120 ft facade fronts on Wall Street looking south. The height of the building and its elevated position on the slope of downtown make it visible from some distance approaching the city from the south. This landmark was the town&#39;s important hotel and social center for over 40 years. The hotel closed in 1972.</p><br>
<p>The building was redeveloped and historically restored in 1994 to apartments, an arts venue and a wedding and banquet facility.</p><br>
<p>In 1991 after the building had been vacant about 20 years a group of investors spent about working on a redevelopment plan that fell through. Plans were announced in 1993 to renovate the building as low cost housing. At that time Mayor Pete Kinch described the Monte Cristo Hotel as a "bellwether of how we as a community are dealing with" the problem of downtown decline.</p><br>
<p>In August 1993 private developer Lojis Corp. had assembled a financing package for the redevelopment into low income housing. The package was contingent on leasing some of the building&#39;s space. A plan for the city to lease the space for an arts venue led to a lengthy city council debate. On August 25, 1993 the Everett City Council approved spending per year to lease 8,867 ft&sup2; of space in the building, including the grand lobby, mezzanine and ballroom areas. By November of that year the building had been re–roofed, new sidewalks poured, new interior stairs built and exterior restoration started as part of a $6.8 million construction project. The Washington Community Renewal Association invested $3M and Lojis Corp. secured $3.8M in equity by selling $6.7M in federal historic and low income housing tax credits.</p><br>
<p>At a three-day grand reopening on June 10–12, 1994 Mayor Ed Hansen lauded Lojis president David Mandley for persevering in getting the project organized and skill in the historical restoration of the buildings exterior and common spaces. The guest rooms had been converted to 69 residential units which as a condition of using the tax credits must be rented to tenants with an income 60% or less of the areas median. Historic renovation and preservation were mandated by the use of the historic tax credits. Reporter Diane Brooks wrote in The Seattle Times, "Once a symbol of downtown decay, the hotel now symbolizes Everetts development boom". Popular downtown restaurant Passport moved into the Monte Cristo in 1994.</p><br>
<p>In 1997 the building was again serving as a civic center when a public forum for candidates for judge on the county superior court was held there. The building was home to the Everett Center for the Arts and the Arts Council of Snohomish County which displayed art in the grand lobby and mezzanine including shows and exhibitions. The Monte Cristo Ballroom was named Best Wedding Venue in a 2019 readers poll in The Herald Business Journal. All inclusive wedding packages were offered.

<p>The Rucker Mansion, also known as the Rucker House is a private residence located in Everett, Washington, United States, and is registered with the National Register of Historic Places . According to the registry, the home was originally commissioned for $40,000 by the Rucker family as a wedding gift for Ruby Brown, who married Bethel Rucker in December 1904. The construction of the Rucker Mansion was completed approximately in July 1905.

<h2>Location</h2><br>
<p>The residence is located on the plateau of Rucker Hill also known as Rucker Heights, an area southwest of downtown Everett, and provides views of the city, Port Gardner, the Cascade Mountains, and the Olympic Mountains. The residential address is listed as 412 Laurel Drive, Everett, WA, United States. This area has since been recognized as Rucker Hill Historic District by the NRHP.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Rucker family, composed of the matriarch, Jane Rucker, and her two sons Wyatt and Bethel, migrated to Western Washington in the late 19th century from Ohio. They were drawn to the area in a search for investment opportunities and selected land in Everett/Port Gardner Bay region. This site consisted of dense timber forestation and was a future location for a Great Northern Railway terminal. The Ruckers began purchasing thousands of acres in hopes of establishing a township, but then pivoted and joined in a partnership with Henry Hewitt to establish the Everett Land Company. Hewitt recruited investors, particularly Charles Colby and John D. Rockefeller, who aided in financing building the city of Everett and a successful timber business. Despite investing into their company, the Rucker&#39;s maintained possession of fifty percent of their land prospects, many of which were later developed into residential real estate. Rucker Hill was part of these housing developments and the Rucker Mansion was constructed on the most prime section of real estate overlooking the city. The Ruckers moved into the residence in the summer of 1905 and lived there until 1923, when the home was sold to Clyde Walton for $32,000. The Walton family lived in the home until 1959. The home has since maintained its private residence status, having been bought and sold in the real estate market over the past 50 years.</p><br>
<p>According to Zillow, in 1997, the home was sold for $650,000. Currently, for the first time in 22 years, Rucker Mansion is on the market for $3.5 million as of August, 2020.</p><br>
<p>It is speculated that the mansion may be haunted by the matriarch of the family, Jane Rucker, who died in the home in 1907. Her cause of death has been debated over the years with unconfirmed rumors that she committed suicide by jumping to her death from the bedroom window. One particular unexplained phenomenon has been the sound of a piano playing at the residence while no one was home.</p><br>

<h3>Gillespie County</h3><br>
<p>He relocated southwest of Fredericksburg at Live Oak Creek, near the present site of Lady Bird Johnson Municipal Park, and began constructing his dream of a gristmill. His steam-operated mill was built with imported French millstones. Inclement weather conditions came close to washing away the unfinished mill in a flood. Nevertheless, Guenther persevered and completed what would become known as Pioneer Flour Mills, a wheat and corn operation that served the area residents of Gillespie County.</p><br>
<h3>San Antonio</h3><br>
<p>Recurring periods of alternating floods and drought prompted Guenther in 1859 to reassess his situation. After seeing the need for mills to serve San Antonio&#39;s growing population, Guenther made the decision to move his base of operations there The site for his new mill would be on land directly adjacent to what became known as the King William Historic District.</p><br>
<h3>King William District home</h3><br>
<p>Guenther&#39;s home was one of the first built in the King William neighborhood. He began construction of his vernacular native limestone home in the district at King William and Guenther streets. The stones were quarried in the area that now is Brackenridge Park, and wood used in the construction was East Texas pine. The original entrance to the house faced southward towards the mill. A 1915 expansion of the house, changed the entrance to the north side, fronting the San Antonio River.

<p>The Otoe County Courthouse is home to the county seat of Otoe County, Nebraska in Nebraska City, Nebraska. The building contains both the Nebraska City Court and the Otoe County Court along with the government and law enforcement offices of both. The building sits at 1021 Central Avenue in Nebraska City.</p><br>
<p>The courthouse is currently on the National Register of Historic Places and the oldest public building in the state of Nebraska.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The original courthouse, a simple two-story building, was built in 1865 by William R. Craig and F. W. Wood, costing $22,500 at the time. This was a vast improvement upon its predecessors, consisting of small offices in local stores and a cabin at one point. The first addition was completed in 1882. This added a large wing to the square building where the courts and department offices are today. In 1936, an identical wing was added with similar purposes. A mural outside the courtrooms shows the history of Nebraska City and of the courthouse.</p><br>
<p>St. Benedicts Catholic Church is a Catholic church in Nebraska City, Nebraska, United States. It is on the National Register of Historic Places. The church parish was founded in 1856 and its building, completed in 1861, is the oldest brick church in the state of Nebraska. The churchs address is 411 5th Rue, Nebraska City, Nebraska.</p><br>
<p>It is a brick "vernacular Romanesque structure featuring buttresses and entry tower".</p><br>
<p>Its exterior walls were noticed to be spreading in 1948, and it was feared the roof would collapse. "The walls were dismantled, reinforced and then rebuilt using primarily original brick."</p><br>
<p>Portland Fire Station No. 7, located in southeast Portland in the USA state of Oregon, is a two-story structure listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Built in 1927, it was added to the register in 1989. It was the last of numerous Portland firehouses to be designed by fire chief and architect Lee Gray Holden, who died of a stroke while visiting the No. 7 firehouse in 1943. The building continued to be used by the city&#39;s Fire Department until the 1980s, when it was sold off and used as an automobile garage. It was acquired by a local developer in 2009, and was restored and remodeled for office and retail use.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<h3>Exterior</h3><br>
<p>The building is located at 1036 SE Stark Street in the Buckman neighborhood of southeast Portland. It comprises two main elements&mdash;the original 1927 masonry firehouse, and an adjacent wood-faced garage constructed to the east in 1964. The firehouse and garage together have a footprint of approximately 100 ft by 110 ft, of which the masonry building contributes roughly 50 by.</p><br>
<p>The exterior features of the masonry firehouse include a gable roof, a central gable dormer with a multi-pane oval window, skylights, and a red brick chimney. The firehouse, which has a full basement, rests on a concrete foundation. Two bays with garage doors and one bay with windows dominate the north face of the ground floor. Three second-floor bays match the first-floor bays, except that all have windows instead of doors. Two more doors open into the firehouse at the south end of the east façade. Many of the windows on both floors are paired.</p><br>
<p>The 1.5-story addition east of the firehouse originally housed a mechanic&#39;s garage, but the addition is not included in the historic registry listing.</p><br>
<h3>Interior</h3><br>
<p>The original structure was divided into office, dormitory, and vehicle areas. The first floor was used mainly for parking and servicing fire trucks and other vehicles, but included space for a handball court with an electronic scoreboard. Fire department staff lived on the second floor, with some personnel&mdash;presumably the chief and other senior staff&mdash;maintaining their own separate quarters.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Fire Station No. 7 is associated with Lee Gray Holden (1865–1943), a nationally renowned designer of firehouses. Built in 1927, the station was intended to serve as a state-of-the-art facility to house the fire departments headquarters on Portlands East Side. It originally housed the headquarters&#39; administrative and service functions, and was used as the service center for East Side fire vehicles. The building was the largest and last of the 24 firehouses designed by Holden, who served as battalion chief for the southeast sector of the city. It followed a semi-standardised layout that he had devised for his firehouses, with dormitories above the first-floor working space. Eleven of his firehouses still stand, of which No. 7 is the largest. In 1943, Holden died of a stroke while visiting the building.</p><br>
<p>The fire department continued to use the building for many years after Holdens death. It was expanded in the 1970s, and was used as a repair center and garage for the entire department until it was sold off in the 1980s. It was subsequently used as an automotive garage, before being abandoned in the late 2000s. Much of the interior is still intact; surviving features include the original partitioning walls and booths resembling telephone boxes which enclose the firemens poles. The scoreboard and other fixtures of the handball court are also still in place.</p><br>
<p>In 2009, Portland developer Venerable Properties and partners acquired the property with a plan to renovate it and turn it into modern offices and retail space. The project incorporated both the original masonry building and the 1960s garage next door. The work, which took place between August 2009 and March 2010 at a cost of $3.8 million, restored the masonry building&#39;s exterior appearance to its historical condition and preserved the surviving interior fittings. The non-historical south-facing roll-up garage doors have been replaced with historically-accurate carriage doors, based on period photographs. The building is now used by small office and retail businesses.</p><br>
<p>The adjoining garage extension, which is not part of the protected historic property, has undergone more drastic changes in the course of its redevelopment for use as the headquarters of Bremik Construction. The original plywood facade has been replaced with a new masonry and storefront system, while its interior tongue-and-groove fir siding has been restored, and an expanded mezzanine has been constructed.</p><br>
<p>The Neil P. Anderson Building is an 11-story building located at 411 West Seventh Street in Fort Worth, Texas. Built in 1921, it had served as a cotton exchange for the Neil P. Anderson Cotton Co. The building was designed by Sanguinet & Staats. In 1977, an insurance company which owned the building planned to demolish it. In the last minute a group of investors purchased the building in order to save it. It was added to the National Register on March 8, 1978. The Trammel Crow Co. purchased the building in 2000. In 2004, the building was converted into luxury condos. It was renamed the Neil P. at Burnett Park.</p><br>

<p>The Main Street–Black River Bridge is a bridge located on Main Street over the Black River in Ramsay, Bessemer Township, Michigan, USA. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In 1884, the village of Ramsay (now an unincorporated community) began developing around Hubbard and Weeds sawmill on the Black River. The mill burned in 1889, but by that time Ramsay was home to the company headquarters of and workers from the nearby Castile Mining Company. At the turn of the century, Ramsays Main Street was carried over the Black River by an older truss bridge; by the end of the 1910s, the bridge was deteriorating and was a bottleneck for vehicular traffic. The Gogebic County Road Commission asked the state to help fund a replacement bridge, and in 1922 engineers from the Michigan State Highway Department designed a bridge to span the Black river, designating it Bridge File No. 270103. A contract for $19,455.14 was awarded to Paul N. Massie of nearby Bessemer, who completed construction in 1923. Since that time, the Main Street–Black River Bridge has been essentially unaltered, and continues to carry vehicular traffic.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Main Street–Black River Bridge is a concrete through girder bridge, with a main span length of 50 ft and a complete structure length of 130 ft. The structure is 27 ft wide, of which 22 ft is the roadway. Three concrete girders carry the roadway: a central 50 ft girder, and two 40 ft girders on each end. The girders sit on tapered concrete piers. Panels are recessed in the girder walls, which are capped with heavy concrete corbels. Bronze plates stating "State Reward Bridge" are mounted on each sidewall.</p><br>
<h2>Significance</h2><br>
<p>By 1923, the concrete through girder bridge design used for the Main Street–Black River Bridge was a well-tested standard design. The Michigan State Highway Department had first delineated this type of structure in 1913-14, and used them for "spans from thirty to fifty feet in both the eighteen and twenty-foot clear roadway from curb to curb," as stated in their Seventh Biennial Report. The Highway Department used this design until about 1930, and in that span designed and built perhaps hundreds of them through the state. Most of this type of bridge were single-span structures; the triple-span design and tapered piers of the Main Street–Black River Bridge mark it as a noteworthy example of the design&#39;s potential. The bridge is visually striking when views from the river, and is historically important for enabling local vehicular transportation. Other than minor concrete spalling, the bridge is essentially unaltered and remains in good condition.</p><br>
<p>The George Bonner Jr. House is a historic residence in Midway, Utah, United States, that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The house is located at 90 East Main Street (SR-113). It was built in 1877 and was designed and built by John Watkins. It is a one-and-a-half-story Gothic Revival-style house with decorative bargeboards. It has an L-shaped plan. A porch on the west side was replaced by a brick addition that served as a kitchen. A porch on the east side was enclosed to serve as an extra bedroom, in the 1960s. It has bay windows which originally had "fancy balconies".</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places June 17, 1986.</p><br>
<p>The George Bonner Sr. House is a historic residence in Midway, Utah, United States, that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The house is located at 103 East Main Street (SR-113). It was built in approximately 1876 and was designed and built by John Watkins.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places June 17, 1986.</p><br>
<p>The Hopewell Baptist Church in northwestern Oklahoma County, Oklahoma, also known as the Teepee Church, was designed by architect Bruce Goff in the modernist style. It was listed on the USA National Register of Historic Places in 2002.</p><br>
<h2>Structure</h2><br>
<p>The teepee-shaped design was intended to be imaginative on a frugal budget, using surplus pipe and corrugated aluminum from oil fields, volunteer labor to weld the pipes and build the church, and local supplies like rock from quarries in nearby Calumet, Oklahoma.</p><br>
<p>The peak, which is about 80 feet high, is an open metal belfry containing no bell and 12 triangular windows that always leaked when it rained. The shingles were originally the color of the red soil that is characteristic to the area, but were eventually replaced by gray shingles. The base was finished with native rock and sheet metal.</p><br>
<p>The nave of the church was arranged in the round. The lower level held classrooms.</p><br>
<p>The exterior support structure features 12 exposed tapered trusses made of welded steel drill-stem pipes and painted russet color and secured by a compression ring.</p><br>
<p>The 12 supports were nicknamed after the Twelve Apostles.</p><br>
<h2>Construction</h2><br>
<p>The building was constructed by members of the church, who worked on evenings and weekends from 1947 to 1951 to build it.</p><br>
<p>The building cost $20,000, and Goff reduced his fee for the design and for supervising the construction to $1,200.</p><br>
<h2>Use</h2><br>
<p>The building was used as a church until it closed in 1989, due to water leaks, and due to the high cost of heating and cooling a building with no insulation. The church owning the property was first known as Hopewell Baptist Church. After that, it was the Church at Edmond. Later, the non-denominational church, meeting in a separate building, was renamed to God&#39;s Tabernacle of Praise.</p><br>
<h2>Restoration</h2><br>
<p>Asbestos was removed in 1999, but the building had serious damage to the exterior and exterior of the building.</p><br>
<p>The Hopewell Heritage Foundation was formed in 2005 to raise $1.25 million to restore the church, plus money to pay for maintenance. The restoration effort is being led by Elliott and Associates Architects of Oklahoma.</p><br>
<p>The roof was replaced in late 2013 by Jenco Roofing Company to prevent further decay., the roof, windows, and doors had been fixed, but structural work was needed on the inside, to support the upstairs floor.</p><br>
<p>The Riverside Studio in Tulsa, Oklahoma, United States, also known as Tulsa Spotlight Theater, was built in 1928. It was designed by architect Bruce Goff in International Style. It was built as a house with a studio wing for a music teacher named Patti Adams Shriner. The Riverside Studio was listed on the USA National Register of Historic Places in 2001 under Criterion C.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<h3>Piano studio</h3><br>
<p>Riverside Studio was adorned with several unique artistic features. These included a large, circular front window, a fountain designed by Italian sculptor, Alfonso Iannelli, black glass and green marble fireplaces, Japanese wall coverings made from wood veneer, and a series of nine murals that Goff commissioned from Oklahoma artist Olinka Hrdy. Facing bankruptcy during the Great Depression, Ms. Shriner lost ownership of the building in 1933. It went through a series of a series of receivers, and sat vacant until actor Richard Mansfield Dickinson bought it for only $2,500 in 1941.</p><br>
<h3>Spotlight Club</h3><br>
<p>Since 1953, Dickinson&#39;s Tulsa Spotlight Club has used the building to present his adaptation of the 19th-century temperance melodrama The Drunkard. In 2008, Charles Conrad, then board chairman of the Spotlighters, wanted to restore the building to its original condition, plus bring the electrical and mechanical systems up to date. However, the estimated cost for this work was $700,000, far more than the Spotlighters could afford. In 2012, he indicated that the club had repaired the leaky roof, remodeled the bathrooms and converted an upstairs bedroom to a library.</p><br>
<p>In 2013, actor-director Joe Sears, best known for his co-creation of the Greater Tuna stage trilogy (and for the Tony nomination he received in 1985 for his performance in A Tuna Christmas), took charge as the production&#39;s new director. The play has been performed almost every Saturday night for six decades, and the company claims it to be the longest-running stage production in America.</p><br>
<h2>Building design</h2><br>
<p>This building is a two-story structure dug into a hillside facing west across Riverside Drive toward the Arkansas River. Located on an 0.86 acre tract, it has a flat roof and stucco exterior. The NRHP application says that the two-story entrance hall is, "... the most prominent feature of the building." Two sets of external stairs lead to a common landing that accesses a foyer. The large, flat, circular window in the front of the foyer is considered a primary decorative feature of the building. Other front windows are stepped and have alternating inserts of black glass to provide a diagonal pattern.</p><br>
<p>Behind the foyer is an auditorium (recital hall), in which the audience would face eastward toward the stage, in the next wing of the building. The one-story auditorium has three sets of double doors on the north and south sides. The auditorium, as a connecting element between the entrance hall and living quarters, is relatively narrow and this geometric configuration defines partially enclosed patio areas on both north and south elevations of the building. The wing east of the auditorium houses the recital stage. A small service area and kitchen is at the north end of the stage, while a living room, garage, and servant quarters are at the south end. This end of the wing is two stories high, with a small part extending to three stories.</p><br>
<h2>Subsequent alterations</h2><br>
<p>The original living room walls were paneled with wood imported from Japan, the ceiling was decorated with aluminum leaf and the room had a fireplace decorated with green marble and black glass. As mentioned above, there were four murals in the recital hall that had been painted by Olinka Hrdy. These features were no longer present at the time the NRHP application was submitted. The Iannelli-designed fountain had been dismantled. Side doors of the recital hall had been blocked by air-conditioning ducts that had been installed during a later period. The NRHP review committee determined that these changes did not negate the assignment of Category C.</p><br>
<p>The Donald Pollock House is a historic house in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Designed by architect Bruce Goff, Nelson Brackin accompanied Goff in the renovation for Laura and Joe Warriner in 1966.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The house, designed by Bruce Goff and constructed in 1957, features steep hipped roofs over interlocking square areas, with skylights. The interior is partitioned by folding wood partitions. A studio with a screened porch on its roof is connected by a walkway over a reflecting pool.</p><br>
<p>Its NRHP nomination describes it as "an excellent example of the mature architecture of Bruce Goff" and "one of Goff&#39;s finest designs". It is related to the Goff-designed Wilson House in Pensacola, Florida. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on December 13, 2001.</p><br>
<p>The Coco Plum Womans Club is a historic womens club located at 1375 Sunset Drive in Coral Gables, Florida. The club was founded in 1912 with eight members; it was named for the local cocoplum fruit. While the club was originally based in one of its members&#39; houses, it built its own clubhouse in 1913. Its historic Mediterranean Revival clubhouse was built in 1926. The club participated in homefront efforts during both World Wars; its work with the American Red Cross during World War II was well-regarded within Florida. During peacetime, the club has served as a community library, a social venue for meetings and dances, a clinic, and a pre-school.</p><br>
<p>The clubhouse was added to the National Register of Historic Places on June 17, 2005. It is part of the Clubhouses of Floridas Womans Clubs Multiple Property Submission. The building is currently used as an event hall as well as a clubhouse.</p><br>
<p>The John George Moroni Barnes House is a historic residence in Kaysville, Utah, United States, that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places .</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The house was built in 1884 and was designed by William Allen. It is located at 42 West Center Street. The house was listed on NRHP February 11, 1982.</p><br>
<p>According to its NRHP nomination, it "is significant because of its association with John G. M. Barnes, who succeeded his father, John R. Barnes, as the dominant business and political figure in Kaysville. It is also significant as an outstanding example of a Victorian mansion built in two sections and at least partially architect-designed."--&gt</p><br>
<p>The Glick–Orr House in Atchison, Kansas was built in 1913. It was designed by architect Louis Curtiss. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.</p><br>
<p>As of 2015, the house was operated as a bed and breakfast, under the name "Glick Mansion".</p><br>
<p>The Glick–Orr House was operated as the TUCK U INN at Glick Mansion Bed & Breakfast, by innkeepers Chris and Loman Wildy. It had been a B & B for 22 years, until Aaron Gassaway had bought it in June 2022. It has now been rented out to college students in Atchison, still known as the Glick Mansion.</p><br>
<p>The Francis Armstrong House  is a historic house in Salt Lake City, Utah. It is locally significant as a fine example of Queen Anne style architecture.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The -story, Queen Anne style house was built in 1892, and was designed by William Ward and constructed by Taylor, Romney & Armstrong as the home of Salt Lake City mayor Francis Armstrong. The scheme of the house is thought to have been brought over by Armstrong from England in 1891, and is apparently based on an English home of the period. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on May 23, 1980.</p><br>
<p>The Devereaux House in Salt Lake City, Utah, United States, also known as the Staines-Jennings Mansion, was built in 1857 for William Staines. It was designed by William Paul. The house was expanded by William Jennings, mayor of Salt Lake City from 1882 to 1885, again using Paul as the architect. Devereaux was a social center for the Salt Lake City area, hosting distinguished visitors. Brigham Young&#39;s son Joseph Angell Young owned the house for a short time.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The house is Victorian in character, with evidence of French-influenced detailing. It is built of brick with cement plaster overlay. A mansard roof forms the third floor. A wide porch wraps around the south and east sides. The grand house and its large yard have been preserved in the middle of the city without a perimeter fence, so the yard has the appearance of a park. William Jennings expanded and landscaped the grounds. The house is surrounded by larger and newer structures including Vivint Smart Home Arena, the Triad Center, and the Salt Lake City Union Pacific Depot and the surrounding The Gateway development.</p><br>
<p>The interior features a large stair hall with a drawing room to the left and a library to the right. To the rear of the parlor lies a banquet room, and a dining room is behind the library. The second floor has many bedrooms, and the attic houses servants&#39; quarters and a billiard room. The house was noted for the high quality of its woodwork and appointments.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The house was the first to be built on a scale that could be described as a "mansion" in the Salt Lake Valley. It was a social center for the area, and was the scene of a meeting between Brigham Young and Governor Alfred Cumming to resolve the Utah War. The house was purchased for $20,000 by Youngs oldest son, Joseph Angell Young in 1865. Young sold the house for $30,000 in 1867 to local entrepreneur William Jennings who added to the house. Jennings, believed to be the Salt Lake Valleys first millionaire, named the house "Devereaux" for a family property at Yardley, Birmingham in England. Jennings lived there with his wives Jane and Pricilla, who had eleven and fourteen children respectively. Jennings was visited at the house by Secretary of War William Seward and General Philip H. Sheridan in the 1860s, and by General William Tecumseh Sherman in the 1870s, whose visits implied a tolerance of polygamy in Utah by federal officials. Following Jennings&#39; death in 1886 the house passed through several hands, and was at one time an alcohol treatment facility, the Keely Institute. At a later time it accommodated offices for a mining equipment company.</p><br>
<p>The State of Utah acquired the property in the 1970s and approved the use of public funds to restore it in 1978, but a tragic fire in 1979 almost resulted in its demolition. It was ultimately restored in the early 1980s and served as a reception center and home of the Chart House restaurant. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints acquired it in 2005 and maintains it as a historic site with occasional use for receptions and other events.</p><br>
<p>Devereaux House was listed on the USA National Register of Historic Places in 1971.</p><br>
<p>Starkweather Hall, also known as Starkweather Religious Center, is a religious and educational building located at 901 West Forest Avenue in Ypsilanti, Michigan, on the campus of Eastern Michigan University. It was designated a Michigan State Historic Site in 1972 and is the oldest building on EMU&#39;s campus.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Students Christian Association at Eastern Michigan University (then Michigan State Normal School) was begun as the Students Prayer Meeting in 1853, the same year the school itself opened. Meetings were held in assembly or classrooms of the school. In 1881, the society reorganized as the Students Christian Association, and they were granted a room in the campus conservatory building as a meeting place. the funds were disbursed in late 1895. Detroit architects Malcomson and Higginbotham were hired to design the building, and it was constructed in 1896 at a cost of slightly over $11,000. The Starkweather Religious Center was dedicated on March 26, 1897. When it was constructed, it was the only religious center at any teachers college in the United States. After construction, it was leased to the Universitys Students Christian Association.</p><br>
<p>The Students&#39; Christian Association was disbanded in the 1920s, but Starkweather Hall continued to be used by a succession of religious organizations. The building was renovated in 1961 by Jinkling and Lyman of Birmingham, Michigan. In 1976, the Office of Religious Affairs, which used the building at that point, was closed. The building was again remodeled, and used by public relations services. As of 2013, it is used by the Graduate Office.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>Starkweather Hall is a two-story Richardsonian Romanesque structure built of squared fieldstone, covering approximately 62 ft by 56 ft. It is asymmetrical, with an octagonal sandstone tower on one corner and a gable over the front entrance. Fishscale orange tile covers the top halves of the other facades. On the interior, the first floor originally contained dining/reception rooms, a kitchen, a dressing room, a library, and a few classrooms. The rooms were delineated by partitions that could be rolled open to create a larger space. The second floor originally contained a large assembly room and a caretaker&#39;s room. Hardware was designed especially for the building, and some original doorknobs, marked "SCA," still remain.</p><br>
<p>The Philo Reed House is an historic house at 38 Main Street in Fort Fairfield, Maine. Built in 1907 to a design by Coombs and Gibbs, it is one of the towns grandest houses, a transitional combination of Queen Anne and Colonial Revival styling. It was built for Philo Reed founder of one of the nations largest seed potato companies of the time. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in April 1986.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Reed House is set on the north side of Main Street (Maine State Route 161), near the eastern edge of Fort Fairfield&#39;s village center. It is a -story wood-frame structure, with asymmetrical massing characteristic of the Queen Anne style. Its prominent features include a three-story turret at the right front corner, a cross-gable roof with dormers and extended modillioned gable eaves, and a porch, supported by Colonial Revival Tuscan columns, that wraps around the front and left side. The interior of the house has high-quality Colonial Revival woodwork, including the stairway newel post and balustrade, and fireplace mantelpieces. Original doors include sections of patterned beveled glass.</p><br>
<p>The house was designed by the Lewiston firm of Coombs and Gibbs, who were responsible for a number of commercial and civic buildings in Fort Fairfield. The house was built for Philo Reed, who came to Aroostook County in 1885 and established a highly successful business in the development and sale of seed potatoes. His descendants, who continue to run the business, include John H. Reed, a Governor of Maine.</p><br>
<p>The Benjamin C. Wilder House is an historic house at 1267 Main Street  in Washburn, Maine, United States. Built about 1852, it is a well-preserved example of mid-19th century vernacular architecture in northern Aroostook County, built in the first decade after widespread settlement began of the area. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987. It is now owned by the local Salmon Brook Historical Society and operated as a historic house museum.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Wilder House is located in the center of the rural village of Washburn, set back from the east side of Main Street on the north side of the town common, which is bounded on its south by Wilder Street. It is a -story wood-frame structure, five bays wide and a single room deep, with a side-gable roof, clapboard siding, and a foundation of granite and concrete blocks. Oriented to face south, the main facade has a single-story porch, supported by Tuscan columns, that extends across its full width and around to the west side. The main entrance, which is like the windows simply framed, stands in the rightmost bay. A single gabled dormer projects from the roof. A kitchen ell extends to the rear of the main block, with dormers on both sides of its gable roof, and a porch on the east side. The interior has well-preserved original plaster-and-lath walls, and an original staircase leading to the attic level.</p><br>
<p>Widespread settlement of the interior of northern Aroostook County was delayed due to uncertainties surrounding the border with neighboring New Brunswick, which threatened war in the 1830s and were resolved by the 1842 Webster-Ashburton Treaty. Washburn was probably settled soon afterward, with Isaac Wilder one of its first settlers. His nephew Benjamin probably built this house around 1852, the year of his marriage. Wilder was a merchant and farmer in the community. The house was sold by his heirs in 1920 into the Jardine family, who sold it to the Salmon Brook Historical Society. The Society operates the house as a mid 19th-century period historic house museum, with the Aroostook Agricultural Museum, which is housed in a nearby barn.</p><br>
<p>The Glen Rock Historic District is a national historic district which is located in Glen Rock in York County, Pennsylvania.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1997.</p><br>
<h2>History and architectural features</h2><br>

<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The community of Hanover, Pennsylvania had its beginnings in a grant of 10,000 acre of land by Charles Calvert, the fourth Lord Baltimore to the Irish nobleman and Maryland resident John Digges in 1727. Named Digges Choice at the time, the name was changed to the Conewago Settlement in 1730 when Catholic settlers from Pennsylvania and Maryland began relocating there in increasing numbers.</p><br>
<p>Richard McAllister then purchased, in 1745, the specific area of heavily forested land where the original town of Hanover would later be built. After clearing a portion of the land, he erected a log home, store and tavern at what would eventually become the corner of Baltimore and Middle Streets. He then officially founded the town of Hanover in 1763. The towns name was reportedly suggested by Hannover, Germany native Michael Tanner, a commissioner who had helped plan York Countys configuration in 1749.</p><br>
<p>While en route between his home in Monticello, Virginia to Philadelphia to participate in the first session of the Continental Congress where he would, in short order, draft the Declaration of Independence, Thomas Jefferson stopped on April 12, 1776 in Hanover, where he spent the evening at the Sign of the Horse inn on Frederick Street which was owned by Caspar Reinecker. Jefferson then also spent the evening there on September 5, 1776, while en route on his return home. At this time, the town had roughly 500 primarily log-style residences.</p><br>
<p>This community also played a role in the War of 1812, enrolling two infantry companies which helped halt the advance of British troops on Baltimore in 1814 during and after the Battle of North Point.</p><br>
<p>In 1852, further growth of the community was facilitated by construction of the Hanover Branch Railroad to Hanover Junction, Pennsylvania, followed by the 1858 opening of the Gettysburg Railroad, which extended travel capabilities west toward Gettysburg. The Hanover and York Railroad then extended travel even further by opening a link to York in 1876.</p><br>
<p>On June 30, 1863, Hanover became the site of the final encounter between the Union and Confederate States armies before they fought against each other in July&#39;s three-day Battle of Gettysburg during the American Civil War.</p><br>
