<p>Nagle Warren Mansion, also known as Cheyenne YWCA Building, is former residence and YWCA with three buildings located in Cheyenne, Laramie County, Wyoming. It operated as a bed and breakfast  establishment since 1997 with twelve guest rooms decorated in Victorian West style. One guest room is a suite and each room has its own bath. Six rooms are in the main house and six in the carriage house. There are three conference rooms. The B&B had an AAA four-diamond rating. Furnishings and decorations are authentic to the period of the American Old West and include furniture; wallpaper; brass, marble, bronze, or gas fireplaces; ornate staircases; cherry, mahogany, and oak woodwork; and stained glass windows, as well as some Moorish tile and a Moroccan chandelier. In 2019 it became a private residence.</p><br>
<p>The mansion was built as a residence in 1888 by Erasmus Nagle. The Senator died in 1929, and Clara gave the mansion to the YWCA.</p><br>
<p>The house and its dependencies compose one of the few residences from the 1800s left standing in Cheyenne. In 1960 the outer stone, which had been predicted back in 1880 to be too soft, began to crumble and the exterior was covered in stucco. Don and Barbara Sullivan began living there with their children in 1985, when they bought the residence. Jim Osterfoss bought it in 1997, restored it, and turned it into the B&B that it now is.</p><br>
<p>The stone carriage house, originally a stable for four horses, was later used as an automobile garage and during the YWCA years as an entertainment center. The original stone smokehouse also still stands, making a total of three buildings on the property, though the carriage and main houses are now connected. The residence was added to the National Register of Historic Places on July 12, 1976.</p><br>
<p>Glenays, also known as Leighton House, was an historic home which was located in Radnor Township, Delaware County, Pennsylvania.</p><br>
<h2>History and architectural features</h2><br>
<p>The property was purchased by Richard Roger Montgomery and his wife Elisabeth Binney Montgomery in 1859. It was a three-story, stucco over stone Italian Villa style dwelling built in three sections.</p><br>
<p>The first section was built in 1859, with additions built in the late-nineteenth century and in 1925. The 1925 addition and 1928 garden walls were designed by architect George Howe (1886–1955).</p><br>
<p>For many years, the estate was the home of Archibald R. Montgomery and later, the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Alexander Biddle. In 1974, it was used as the "Designers&#39; Show House" by the Philadelphia Vassar Club to benefit their scholarship fund.</p><br>
<p>As of 2017, it was abandoned and in a state of disrepair. As of 2021, the land was subdivided, and the mansion demolished to make way for new residential construction.</p><br>

<p>The 1907 Dorris Motor Car Company Building is a factory and industrial warehouse located at what is now 4059 – 4065 Forest Park Avenue in the Central West End neighborhood of St. Louis, Missouri. The building was originally constructed in 1907 as an automobile factory for the Dorris Motor Car Company and was modified in 1909 with the addition of a third story. It was the headquarters and manufacturing facility for the company until 1926, and the company played a significant role in the establishment of St. Louis as an automotive assembly and parts manufacturing center. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on February 10, 2000.</p><br>
<p>In 1926, the Dorris Motor Car Company officially went out of business, but the building has seen subsequent use. It held the Brauer Brothers Manufacturing Company&#39;s shoe factory for many years. After the Brauer Brothers Manufacturing Company moved out, the space was used for retail purposes by a furniture store. It then sat vacant for years. In 2004, it was renovated for use by the Center for Emerging Technologies, a startup incubator that is now called the CIC@CET. The building is undergoing further renovation today for continued use by the CIC@CET.</p><br>
<p>The Pratt Homestead, in Spencertown, New York along SR 203, was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2009. Its historic significance is attributed to the degree of attention given to its restoration. It was built around 1760 by a family of Spencertown known to have been among the founding members of this community. It served many purposes, among them being agricultural livestock management, as well as a primary residence.</p><br>
<p>In its 2008 National Register nomination it was deemed:s architecturally and historically significant as a distinctive example of a mid-18th-century house built in the design and with the construction methods of the Connecticut River Valley that is a landmark of the migration of New England settlers into eastern New York in the years prior to the Revolutionary War. Erected sometime after 1757, when the Pratt family is reputed to have purchased lots in Spencertown, the twostory, center chimney house employing plank wall construction is quite unlike the domestic architecture indigenous to New York in the period. In addition, the plan and decoration of the interior epitomizes Connecticut building and design traditions.</p><br>
<p>The Simeon Rockefeller House, also known as Rockefeller Tavern, is a historic house located in Germantown, New York.</p><br>
<p>The beginnings of the noted family in American history can be traced to this historic home. As indicated on the historical marker placed by the State of New York, it was the home Simeon or Simon Rockefeller (1730–1795), son of the immigrant Diell Rockefeller. This family originated among the Palatine Germans who immigrated to Columbia County seeking religious freedom. Descendants include John D. Rockefeller who was known to have visited the site. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2009. While it is now undergoing restoration as a private residence, it was originally a stage stop, tavern, and restaurant. In addition, the early settlers engaged in farming. It is a plain structure with colonnades on a double porch. It is built with fieldstone and as was typical, had a basement kitchen.</p><br>
<p>The house was in poor condition and had had many unsympathetic alterations when it was bought by Mary Black and Michael J. Blackstone. The two friends restored the building and used it as separate but conjoined residences; the central hall was agreed upon as the dividing line, and both agreed to give the other veto power over any exterior alterations.</p><br>

<p>Kluge House, also known as Maverick House, is a rare example of Silesian fachwerk, log and half-timber construction, located in Helena, Montana. In mid-1964 the home was almost destroyed as a fire hazard as it had fallen into disrepair and transients were living in it. A shed is attached to the north side of the house. The second floor was built in 1882. Prior to that Kluge had apparently done significant work on the original cabins first floor, which has hewn squared logs. The second floor is half-timber filled in with bricks. The second floor diagonal logs brace the framing logs. The overall dimensions of the house are 30-11" x 16&#39;-4" with a foundation of stone found locally. There are front and rear doors on the first floor. The front door is asymmetrically located and the rear door is near a corner. The second floor is reached only via an exterior staircase. The house has a brick fireplace. The first floor has an entrance vestibule and two rooms of dissimilar size. The smaller room has a hatch leading to a cellar. The second floor has a floor plan that is very similar to that of the first floor but it is reversed, i.e., two rooms and a vestibule. Floors are wooden.</p><br>
<p>Emil Kluge was born March 28, 1845, in Prussia. Kluge served in the infantry, in both the Austro-Prussian War in 1866 and the Franco-Prussian War in 1870, in the latter of which he was wounded. Kluge and his family came to America from Germany in 1871, first settling in Detroit, Michigan for two years, and then Helena, Montana, arriving on May 3, 1873. At that time, the family moved into this house, which was an abandoned miners cabin. Kluge worked mostly as a contractor, but also as a gold prospector, constable, and Justice of the Peace. He was an officer in one of Helenas Masonic lodges and was a member of the Odd Fellows. Kluge resided in Helena until his death, September 26, 1924.</p><br>

<p>The Walter French Junior High School, formerly known as the Walter French Academy or the Walter French Academy of Business and Technology, is a three-story school building located at the corner of Mount Hope and Cedar in Lansing, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2014.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In the 1910s and 1920, the booming automobile business expanded Lansing&#39;s population, and the schools became overcrowded. Several new subdivisions on the south side of Lansing caused the school overcrowding there to become acute, and in 1924, the Lansing School Board acquired a six-acre lot on which to build a school. The Board hired local architect Judson N. Churchill to design a building. Construction began in late 1924, and the school was completed in time for classes in 1925. It had space for grades seven through nine, and additional space for grades one through six.</p><br>
<p>In 1950, the school was converted to be completely a junior high, and in 1957 a new wing was added. However, falling enrollment caused the school to be closed in 1981. In 1983, the Eyde company purchased the school building.</p><br>
<p>In 1996 the building re-opened as a charter school, the Walter French Academy of Business and Technology, which included a middle and high school. About four years later, sometime between 1999 and 2000, it added a K-12 program to become the "...first local public school to offer kindergarten through 12th grade under one roof."</p><br>
<p>In January 2018, the families of Louis and George Eyde donated the building to the Capital Area Housing Partnership, a non-profit affordable housing group. The organization plans to redevelop the building for housing.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>

The main building has two wings, meeting at a right angle with a three-bay angled facade at the intersection. The formal entry is at this intersection, through an elliptical arch. A secondary entrance is at one end of one of the wings.</p><br>
<p>The Ironwood Carnegie Library is a library located at 235 E. Aurora Street in Ironwood, Michigan. It is the oldest continuously operated Carnegie Library in Michigan and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2011.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The public library in Ironwood was founded in 1892, and was located in the Ironwood City Hall. In 1900, Andrew Carnegie pledged $12,000 to the city of Ironwood to build a new library, subject to his usual conditions that the town provide a building site and pledge to maintain the building. Carnegie increased his gift by $5000 in 1901. It was the first Carnegie Library built in Michigan. The library was moved into the new building in 1901</p><br>
<p>Only minor modifications have been made to the building, which still contains the original chairs, tables, and circulation desk.</p><br>

<p>The Episcopal Church of the Atonement and Parish House is a historic church building at 5751 North Kenmore Avenue in Chicago, Illinois. The Gothic Revival building was constructed in 1889 and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2009.</p><br>
<h2>Congregational history</h2><br>
<p>In 1886 several Episcopalian families met in the Guild Hall at Bryn Mawr and Winthrop Avenues (the first commercial building in the Edgewater neighborhood then on the outskirts of Chicago), and decided that a Church should be built. By June 17, 1888, then-lawyer Frederick W. Keator held a service in the hall, and by November 1888 the group had become a mission congregation within the diocese, taking as the name of Church of the Atonement. The original Church&#39;s cornerstone was laid on November 30, 1889 at the present site (the intersection of Kenmore and Ardmore Avenues), and consecrated in June 1890. By then, Keator had left his legal practice and had become a minister, as well as the first-priest-in-charge of the new mission. He remained at the parish until 1896, when he accepted a call from a church in Iowa, near his childhood home, and soon become the first Bishop of the Missionary diocese of Olympia, Washington.</p><br>
<p>In May 1898 the Mission became a self-supporting Parish and had 120 members, and construction of the Parish House began south of the church. The Parish House was finished in 1901.</p><br>
<p>By the early 20th century, the parish had become one of the leading Anglo-Catholic parishes in the country. Beginning under Rector Charles E. Deuel (1903-1914) in 1910, the original church building was enlarged to twice its capacity, since by then the parish had more than 500 members. This expansion and the 1919 expansion were under the guidance of British born parishioner J.E.O. Pridmore, who carefully maintained the English Gothic church style. The first service after the last expansion was on Easter in 1920. The parish then had 650 members, and Rector Frederick Fleming (who served from 1915-1927) would represent the Diocese of Chicago at several Anglo-Catholic conferences. Rev. Fleming would leave this parish to accept a call as rector of St. Stephen&#39;s Church in Providence, Rhode Island in 1927, and finished his career as rector of historic Holy Trinity Church in Manhattan, New York City. Meanwhile, in 1922 a new Parish House was begun and completed in 1924. Stained glass windows were added beginning in 1929, under Rector Alfred Newberry (1927-1937; who would ultimately leave to accept a call from the Church of the Advent in Boston) and finished in 1946.</p><br>
<p>Under Rector Dean Paxton Rice, the church received a donation of an Elizabethan-era paneled room (installed in the Parish House), and also expanded its outreach to the diverse and changing neighborhood. It established St. Augustine&#39;s Mission to the Native American community in the nearby Uptown neighborhood. In the 1970s, the church established a ministry to Spanish-speaking neighbors. The parish also developed a distinguished music program, including a choir which expanded under Rev. Thomas Harris to include women, and a custom-built organ.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>Parishioner Henry Ives Cobb designed the original church building, including a stone tower on the northwest corner and constructing the east wall of wood to facilitate future expansion. Cobb was known for his English Gothic and Richardson Romanesque buildings, including the Potter Palmer Mansion, the Newberry Library and the Old Chicago Historical Society on Dearborn and Ontario Streets (now a nightclub). He also designed the Fisher Building.</p><br>
<p>Pridmores expansion, finished during World War I, created the current church. The roof was raised and extended 16 feet, to Kenmore Avenue, and side aisles added. Stained glass windows were added, with the final one installed at the end of World War II, and after Pridmores death.</p><br>
<p>The best example of the stained glass is the Christ the King window in the North Chapel. It has been recognized in books on stained glass in Chicago as one of the best.</p><br>
<p>On the second level of the Parish House, is the Elizabethan Room. It was brought to the United States from England in 1620. The paneling is registered with The Art Institute of Chicago and is the only authentic example of its kind in the Midwest.</p><br>

<p>St. Matthew Evangelical Lutheran School is a historic Lutheran school building located at 2101-2107 W. 21st Street in Chicago, Illinois. Built in 1882, it is one of the only surviving Italianate school buildings in Chicago. While the Italianate style was popular in Chicago in the second half of the 19th century, it was mainly used in homes and commercial buildings rather than institutional buildings, making the schools design uncommon even for its era. The schools distinctive Italianate features include its tall windows with arched lintels, its symmetrical front facade, its double bracketed cornice, and the cupola atop its roof. The school is also one of the oldest remaining school buildings in the Lower West Side and its adjacent community areas; only four older schools remain within these nine community areas, and St. Ignatius College Prep is the only older parochial school.</p><br>

<p>St. James Catholic Church and Cemetery, also known as St. James at Sag Bridge Church is a historic church and cemetery in the Sag Bridge area of the village of Lemont, Illinois. It is situated on a high bluff at the western tip of the glacier-carved Mount Forest Island, overlooking the Calumet Sag Channel and the community of Sag Bridge.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The site has been important for centuries as a lookout, including a French fort visited by Father Jacques Marquette on his journeys on the Des Plaines River several times in 1673; it is believed he conducted Catholic Mass at the fort.</p><br>
<p>The church was founded in 1833 by workers building the Illinois and Michigan Canal, and first met in a rough log cabin. The present church building was built from 1853 to 1858 of locally quarried limestone painstakingly dragged up the steep hill. It was built on an ancient Native American trail, which has evolved into today&#39;s Archer Avenue (Illinois Route 171).</p><br>
<p>On March 27, 1991, a tornado caused significant damage to Lemont and Sag Bridge, including the historic St. James church and cemetery. The tornado lifted up the roof of the church and dropped it back down askew, and knocked over numerous trees and tombstones in the cemetery. A group of dedicated parishioners banded together as the St. James Preservation Society to repair the damage and restore their church.</p><br>

<p>The First Congregational Church of Western Springs is a historic church in Western Springs, Illinois. Designed by George Grant Elmslie, it is considered the town&#39;s finest example of Gothic Revival and Prairie School design. The church is a member of the United Church of Christ.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The First Congregation Church of Western Springs in Illinois was founded in 1887. By the 1921, the congregation had expanded to a point where a new church building was required. In 1924, a Building and Planning Committee was formed out of the congregation to seek out an architect. Seven architects from Chicago and St. Louis were interviewed. The design submitted by George Grant Elmslie was selected as the winning bid in 1926. Elmslie had just ended a lengthy partnership with William Gray Purcell and had opened an independent practice in Chicago. The committee was fond of Elmslie&#39;s recent Capitol Building and Loan Association in Topeka, Kansas, and envisioned a similar structure.</p><br>
<p>The committee favored a Gothic Revival building, and Elmslie obliged by submitting an elaborate Gothic design. When the committee realized that the design would be too expansive, Elsmlie responded by offering a design with Prairie School elements. Construction finished in 1930 with the completion of the sanctuary and Education Building, both structures a blend of Gothic and Prairie styles. Gothic elements included a cruciform floor plan and stained glass windows from the Temple Art Glass Company of Chicago. Prairie elements include a horizontal emphasis, wood ornamentation, earth tones, and use of natural materials. Emil Zettler was commissioned to carve statues and provide decorative elements.</p><br>
<p>Herbert and William Brand designed an addition north of the Education Building in 1959. The church was surveyed during the Illinois Historic Structures Survey and, on August 8, 2006, was recognized by the National Park Service with a listing on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>Twin Tower Sanctuary  is a historic Methodist church building at 9967 W. 144th Street in Orland Park, Illinois. The church was completed in 1898, six years after Orland Park was founded, to serve the city&#39;s large Methodist population. Architect William Arthur Bennet, who later became well known for his Prairie School works, designed the church in the Queen Anne style. The north side of the church is flanked by the two hexagonal towers that give the church its name. The interior of the church has a Sullivanesque patterned tin ceiling; according to Louis Sullivan scholar Tim Samuelson, it is the best-preserved example of a Sullivanesque tin ceiling in the country.</p><br>
<p>The church was added to the National Register of Historic Places on November 16, 1988.</p><br>
<p>North Sangamon United Presbyterian Church  is a historic Presbyterian church building in Athens, Illinois. The building was constructed between 1860 and 1862 in a Georgian style. While the Georgian style had largely fallen out of favor by 1860, the church is nonetheless considered a good example of the style and features elements such as a steeply pitched pediment with a half-circle vent and fan-shaped decorations. The church housed a Presbyterian congregation which formed in 1832 and ultimately spawned three other congregations in Menard County. In addition, the church also sponsored a local school.</p><br>
<p>The church was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.</p><br>
<p>Westervelt Christian Church is a historic church located at 103 W. Main Street in Westervelt, Illinois. Built in 1921, the church was the second in Westervelt. Its early membership came from the Antioch Church in Brunswick, a nearby community from which most of Westervelt&#39;s residents migrated after the Chicago and Eastern Illinois Railroad opened a station in the latter community. Architect Charles Harris designed the church in the Classical Revival style. The eastern main entrance to the church features a two-story portico with a triangular pediment. The north and south sides of the church also have triangular pediments, which are supported by brick pilasters. A stone belt course encircles the building below the pediments, and a plain cornice runs below the roof line.</p><br>
<p>The church was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2006.</p><br>
<p>St. Paulus Evangelisch Lutherischen Gemeinde  is a historic Lutheran church in Jonesboro, Illinois. The church was built by immigrants from Austria, who settled in the Jonesboro area in 1852. Architect Charles Fettinger, one of the settlers, designed the church. The wood-frame church features a limestone foundation, upper-story windows topped by lunettes, and a double entrance topped by an arched transom. The interior of the church features an intricately carved wooden altar and pulpit, also designed by Fettinger. Construction on the church was completed in 1860, and the building was dedicated in 1861. The churchs bell tower, which is topped by a spire, was added in 1889. The Queen Anne style parsonage was constructed in the 1900s. Services at the church ended in 1949, and the church became the property of the Kornthal Congregation and Historical Society. It was refurbished in 1963 with the aid of the State of Illinois. The church is one of the only remnants of southern Illinois German-speaking population.</p><br>
<p>The church was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.</p><br>
<p>First Congregational Church is a historic Congregational church located at 202 N 6th Street in Marshall, Illinois.

The church has limestone walls laid in alternating smooth and rusticated rows. The asymmetrical entrance features two arches supported by columns with ornamental floral capitals. The church has multiple stained glass windows, including a rose window on its front facade. A 56 ft bell tower with square pillars at the upper corners marks the southeast corner of the building. The towers bell, a relic from the original two churches, was made in 1850 by the Buckeye Bell Foundry of Cincinnati, Ohio.</p><br>
<p>The church was added to the National Register of Historic Places on February 5, 2003.</p><br>

<p>The Hotel Fort Des Moines is a historic building located in downtown Des Moines, Iowa, United States. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The three original promoters of the hotel were Des Moines businessmen Richard R. Rollins, Frederick C. Hubbell, Clyde Herring, and Norman M. Wilchinski. The prominent Des Moines architectural firm of Proudfoot, Bird & Rawson designed the building, which opened in 1919. Twelve United States presidents, including Woodrow Wilson, Harry S. Truman, John F. Kennedy, Richard Nixon and George H. W. Bush were guests in the hotel. Other notable guests have included actress Mae West, aviator Charles Lindbergh and Soviet premier Nikita Khrushchev. Singer Tiny Tim lived at the hotel for several years in the early 1990s. The hotel closed to guests on November 13, 2015 for ongoing renovations, following the sale of the property from Jeff Hunter to Hawkeye Hotels, and will reopen as a Curio Collection Hilton Worldwide hotel.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The hotel is an eleven-story building that rises 140 ft above the ground. There are two floors below ground and the building contains three elevators. The hotel rooms are in a nine-story H-shaped tower that allows for increased light and air circulation for more rooms. It sits on a two-story base that houses the public rooms and commercial space. The exterior of the building can be divided into three sections visually using the principle of the classical column: a solid base, a basically unadorned shaft, and a decorative capital. The ornamentation is concentrated on the lower floors and near the top just below the cornice line.</p><br>

<p>The building was authorized with a $40,000 bond issue in 1888 and was completed in 1889. The architect selected to design the building was John Paulsen, a German immigrant. The contractor was J.S. McKenzie. The design was a two-story Richardsonian Romanesque style built with local granite and locally manufactured brick, with a square tower with an octagonal spire and two turrets. Design elements drawn from the Middle Ages included gargoyles on each corner of the building, just under the eaves. The interior of the building has extensive carved woodwork. Today is one of the oldest courthouses in Montana still being used as such.</p><br>
<p>The Scranton Lace Company, also known as the Scranton Lace Curtain Company and Scranton Lace Curtain Manufacturing Company, was an American lace manufacturer in Scranton, Pennsylvania.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The company was established by the Scranton Board of Trade as the Scranton Lace Curtain Manufacturing Company in 1890 and was incorporated on June 15, 1897. The name Scranton Lace Company became standardized in 1916 when the Scranton Lace Curtain Manufacturing Company and one of its subsidiaries combined their operations. On May 13, 1958, the company changed its name to The Scranton Lace Corporation, but soon thereafter reverted to using the name The Scranton Lace Company as its official title. From 1916 to 2002 the company remained the first and largest known producer of Nottingham Lace in the United States.</p><br>
<p>The company was the world leader in Nottingham lace and also produced tablecloths, napkins, valances, and shower curtains, among many other types of lace items. During the 1940s, the company teamed up with subsidiaries such as Victory Parachutes, Inc. and Sweeney Bros. to manufacture parachutes and camouflage netting. The company prospered well into the 1950s, but risky investments involving Hal Roach Studios and the fledgling television industry placed the company in financial peril and eventually led to its closure in 2002. Despite the factory being one of areas biggest employers, it closed in 2002 with the companys vice president telling its employees, mid-shift, that the facility was closing "effective immediately".</p><br>
<p>The facility featured a theater, bowling alley, gymnasium, infirmary, clock tower (that is a city landmark and has a Meneely cast iron bell) and other amenities.</p><br>
<p>On January 31, 2011, the Scranton City Council gave final approval to Lace Building Affiliates to redevelop the Scranton Lace Complex industrial factory located at 1315 Mylert Avenue. Development was stalled because the site had been located within a flood zone before a levee was completed along the Lackawanna River in 2011 and the mapping was not updated until early 2016. Environmental cleanup work is expected to begin in August 2016.</p><br>
<p>On December 30, 2011, the company&#39;s abandoned building was featured in the pilot episode of the Abandoned television series.</p><br>
<p>The factory complex was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2012. The corporate records were moved to the Waverly Community House in 2012.</p><br>
<p>In 2019 several structures within the plant were demolished. The core historic buildings were redeveloped into a mix of residential, retail, and public amenity spaces named Lace Village. The landmark clock tower was re-lighted in December 2023.</p><br>

<p>The Theophilus Crawford House is a historic house at 53 Hickory Ridge Road South in Putney, Vermont. Built about 1808, it is one of the oldest brick houses in Putney, and one of its finest examples of Federal architecture in brick. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1995. Its current owners operate it as the Hickory Ridge House Bed and Breakfast Inn.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Crawford House is located north of Putney Village, on the south side of Hickory Ridge Road, just south of the private Grammar School. It is a -story brick structure, with a side gable roof and granite foundation. The north and east walls are laid in Flemish bond, and the other two sides are laid in American bond. A two-story gable-roofed wood-frame ell extends south from the main block. The front facade, facing north to the street, is symmetrically arranged, with a center entry framed by sidelight windows and topped by a fanlight window. Above the entrance on the second level is a Palladian window; the remaining windows are rectangular sash windows, set below blind semi-oval transoms. The interior retains significant original woodwork and hardware.</p><br>
<p>The house was built in 1807-09 by Theophilus Crawford, a local farmer and sawmill owner. Crawford regularly traveled to Boston, Massachusetts to sell his dairy products, and is said to have brought the window glass from there. The brick was probably sourced at a local brickyard in East Putney. It was probably the first brick house to be built in the town, and is one of the first relatively high-style Federal houses to be built in southeastern Vermont. It remained in the Crawford family until 1913, a relatively long period for the region. It has housed a bed and breakfast inn since 1986.</p><br>
<p>The Younker Brothers Department Store was a historic building located in downtown Des Moines, Iowa, United States. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2010.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Younkers was founded in Keokuk, Iowa in 1856. They opened their first store in Des Moines in 1874 and moved their headquarters to Des Moines in 1879. Their flagship store moved to this location in November 1899. The original Tea Room opened in 1913 and was replaced in 1927. The building installed the first escalator in Iowa, known as the "electric stairs", in this building in 1939. Younkers closed their downtown Des Moines location on August 12, 2005.</p><br>
<p>Part of the building was destroyed in a fire during the early morning hours of March 29, 2014, that caused the upper floors of the building to collapse. At the time of the fire, the building was undergoing renovation into 120 apartments and retail space. While no cause of the fire has been announced, the ATF had ruled out arson as a possible cause following an investigation shortly after the fire. Demolition of the eastern part of the building began a short time later.</p><br>
<p>In August 2014, the Alexander Company, a Wisconsin-based developer, announced plans to continue with the ongoing renovation and restoration of the western half of the building. The revised plans call for adding 14,000 square feet of commercial space on the first floor of the building, creating 60 apartment units on the remaining floors, and renovating the historic Tea Room, which was spared during the fire.</p><br>
<p>In August 2018, The Younkers Brothers Department Store (and Younkers) closed.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The building is seven stories tall and rises 138 ft above the ground. It was designed by the Des Moines architectural firm of Liebbe, Nourse & Rasmussen in the Commercial style.</p><br>

<p>The M.J. Lavina Robidoux House in Aurora, Colorado is an Italianate house built in 1913. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2011. Constructed in 1913, the Robidoux House is a one-and-a-half-story, cross-gabled brick bungalow and is an excellent example of the Craftsman architectural style. The city of Aurora, Colorado, has very few</p><br>
<p>examples of Craftsman brick bungalows that are left in the area, making this house particularly significant.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Mary Jane Lavina Girard Robidoux, the widow of Albert Robidoux, a successful wheat farmer and rancher from Kansas, commissioned the construction of the house at 1615 Galena Street in 1913. Mrs. Robidoux moved to Aurora, Colorado, following her husbands untimely death in 1912. Mrs. Robidoux had adequate financial resources and invested in the design and construction of one of the finest Craftsman-style brick bungalows in Aurora. It is no surprise Mrs. Robidoux wanted her new home to be located on Auroras most affluent street: “Silk Stocking Row” as it was referred. According to the Aurora Democrat dated October 3, 1913, the Robidoux House was “finest house yet erected in Aurora.”</p><br>
<p>There have only been four families including Mrs. Robidoux, who have resided at 1615 Galena Street and much still remains of the original house. Mrs. Robidoux died in her home in June 1929. She left the house to St. Claras Orphanage as a memorial to her late husband Albert. The rest of her estate was split up between nieces, nephews, and surviving siblings. St. Claras Orphanage sold the house to the Cornelius Muldoon family in 1930. The Muldoons lovingly cared for the woodwork for over 60 years (from 1930 to 1996). It was said that the matriarch of the family, Clare Muldoon, never allowed anything other than cheesecloth to be used for dusting. In the 1940s, this house had the highest assessed value of any residence in Aurora. St. Clara&#39;s Orphanage sold the house to the Cornelius Muldoon family in 1930. Mr. Muldoon became sick in World War I from mustard gas and sought medical help as a disabled veteran from the Fitzsimons Army Hospital in Aurora. The Muldoons had two young sons who still live in the neighborhood today, Neil and Felix. They tell stories about how their mother was so grateful to have the lovely home that she took great care of it and would not allow them to scuff any of the woodwork. During the Depression, their mother served bread and soup out of the back porch to men passing through from the railway station looking for work. Mrs. Muldoon died in 1984, after which a family member moved in and lived in the house until 1996. The family sold it to non-family members at this time. In 2007, the current owners bought the house and completed some minor restoration of the wood floors and staircase damaged over the years. They also remodeled the kitchen to modernize it, but saved the old sink, which is kept in the basement along with what appears to be the original stove and clothes washing machine. A large kitchen buffet moved to the back porch is still used today.</p><br>
