<p>The Irving College complex was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Irving Female College was established in 1856, at a time when educational opportunities were expanding for women across the United States. Its founder was Mechanicsburg businessman Solomon Gorgas, who named the college in honor of the noted American author Washington Irving. Irving offered a traditional liberal arts education, culminating in either a Bachelor of Arts or a less rigorous "Mistress of English Literature" degree. Like many women&#39;s colleges of the era, Irving ran preparatory classes for those who could not meet the academic requirements for admission. Low enrollment and poor management forced a temporary closure of the college in 1883. It reopened in 1888 and prospered under the leadership of E.E. Campbell, who became president in 1891 and purchased the college outright in 1898.</p><br>
<p>For the next two decades, enrollment stayed consistently at or above 100 – residential, commuting and part-time students. In 1895 the college added a music department and changed its name to Irving College and Conservatory of Music. The curriculum later expanded to include shorter secretarial and home economics courses, to appeal to new career fields opening up to women. Most graduates who found paid employment outside the home gravitated toward teaching. Two of the most notable chose less typical pursuits: Ida Kast, Class of 1892, became the first woman admitted to the practice of law in Cumberland County; Jane Deeter Rippon &#39;02 worked first as a social worker in New York, then rose to be national executive director of the Girl Scouts.</p><br>
<p>In the 1920s, Irving College suffered from limited financial resources, competition from coeducational schools, and an inability to meet increasingly rigorous standards for higher education. It closed permanently after the 1929 graduation. Alumnae held regular reunions into the 1990s. They donated their collection of college memorabilia to the in Mechanicsburg.</p><br>
<p>The Union Hotel, also known as the Shepherdstown Hotel or Hilltop Inn, is an historic, American hotel that is located in Shepherdstown in Cumberland County, Pennsylvania.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.</p><br>
<h2>History and architectural features</h2><br>
<p>Built in 1860, this historic structure consists of a three-story, eight-bay, rectangular, brick main section that was designed in the Georgian style and measures fifty-six feet, six inches wide by thrty-three feet deep. It has a brick ell that also dates to circa 1860 and a -story frame summer kitchen. A one-story frame addition was built circa 1920. The building was restored during the 1980s.</p><br>
<p>The hotel was built by Abraham and Mary Zook, situated in a prime hilltop location on the Gettysburg Pike. It was initially used as a tavern, eventually being sold to Adolphus Busch of the Anheuser-Busch Brewing Co. It was sold once again before the beginning of prohibition, on Oct. 26, 1918. Between that time and October 1922, the building was a private home. After this period, the home was bought by John Ungar and became the Hilltop Inn, a Pennsylvania Dutch-style restaurant. In 1932, the structure was once again a private residence. Since the completion of USA Route 15, the Union Hotel has been situated in a less prominent location to passersby. It still serves as the focal point of Shepherdstown and as inspiration for the architecture of nearby developments, which have effectively taken the Union Hotel’s role of being a rest stop for travelers.</p><br>

<p>Named for his birth date, Christmas Gift Evans was born in 1840, in Deerfield in Oneida County, New York. He was known as "Chris". In 1862 he made his first trip west, via Panama to San Francisco, but he returned home after only a year of placer mining. He made his second trip west in April 1864 and settled in Helena in 1865. Along the way he met John B. Sanford, born to a Quaker family in Maine. The two become lifelong friends and business partners. They started out by mining along Ten Mile Creek and Nelson Gulch, then became involved in business activities including lumber, hay, grist mills, flour mills, coal, feed, farm implements, sawmills, and real estate under the business name Sanford and Evans. Their Helena office was on the corner of Fuller and Lawrence Streets. After they died the firm became Sanford-Evans Inc. Sanford built the house for his wife, Eva in 1877. About 1883, Sanford moved and Evans bought the house.</p><br>
<p>A plaque beside the building stated "The home is a grand expression of the flamboyant Second Empire style whose brief popularity during the 1870s coincided with the construction of Helena’s first substantial residences. The bell-cast mansard roof, decorative bracketing and exquisite ornamental iron cresting are noteworthy features of this beautiful, exceptionally well-preserved home." In 2010, the historical marker and post, valued at about $1,000, were stolen from the house, the first such occurrence in Helena.</p><br>

<p>The Sandusky County Jail and Sheriff&#39;s House is a historic government building near downtown Fremont, Ohio, United States. Built in the early 1890s, it was used as an incarceration facility for almost a century before closing and being converted into an office building.</p><br>
<h2>Construction</h2><br>
<p>In 1844, Sandusky County government officials arranged for the construction of a new courthouse on what is now Park Avenue in downtown Fremont. By the end of the century, the county owned property at the intersection of Clover and Croghan Streets, in the same block as the courthouse. Construction began after a cornerstone-laying ceremony on 6 November 1890, at which the main speaker was former President of the United States and Fremont resident Rutherford B. Hayes.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>By the time that the sheriffs house and jail was completed in the following year, the county had paid approximately $40,000 for its new building; three stories tall, Divided into two segments – one for the sheriffs residence and the other for housing prisoners – the building was designed in a combination of the Romanesque Revival and Queen Anne styles of architecture.</p><br>
<p>Because of the influence of President Hayes, who was the president of an organization founded to advocate for prison reform, the new sheriffs house and jail included features to ensure that its criminal inmates would be treated appropriately. Besides providing fourteen individual cells for prisoners (eight for men and six for women), the jails design enabled the sheriff to separate longtime criminals from those deemed to be of less danger. The design was the work of Fremont resident John Carlton Johnson, who had already established himself as a designer of public buildings; among his previous commissions were the Defiance County Courthouse in northwestern Ohio, multiple Indiana courthouses, Fremonts city hall, and several other sheriffs-house-and-jail combination buildings. The styles that he chose for his buildings varied by type, with courthouses using the Second Empire style, jails typically employing the Romanesque Revival and houses featuring mixes of Queen Anne and Italianate.</p><br>
<h2>Recent history</h2><br>
<p>After nearly a century in service, the sheriffs house and jail closed; its design could no longer meet new state regulations for jails. Although local officials considered destroying the structure in 1996, it survived; since that time, it has been converted into an office building, and the countys human resources department now operates out of the property. In early 1997, the building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places, qualifying both because of its historically significant architecture and because of the place that it has played in local history. It is one of seven Sandusky properties included on the National Register, and one of several Register-listed properties in Ohio that is a combined sheriff&#39;s house and jail.</p><br>
<p>The Frederick Fabing House is a historic residence in Fremont, Ohio, United States. Built as the home of one of the area&#39;s richest men, it has been designated a historic site.</p><br>
<p>Born in 1832, Frederick Fabing became one of Sandusky Countys leading businessmen by the late nineteenth century. At the age of thirty, he joined three other local businessmen to buy a dying gasworks, steamfitting, and plumbing company in Fremont; they succeeded in making it profitable, and it remained in business for several decades. For nearly thirty years, Fabing worked for the company, rising from a superintendents position to the presidency.</p><br>
<p>Fabing arranged for the construction of the present house in 1859, Fabing&#39;s house is one of the most distinctive pieces of architecture in the city. Most surviving buildings in Fremont are no older than the late nineteenth century, and various vernacular styles are prevalent; the 1850s Second Empire architecture of the Fabing House is radically different from many surrounding structures. Among its prominent features are a square tower with a mansard roof, an ornamental overdoor, a large bracketed cornice with dentils, elaborate metalwork and dormer windows, a multi-part frieze, and decorative hoodmolds.</p><br>
<p>By the late twentieth century, Fabing&#39;s house was no longer exclusively a residence; it had become both home and office for a local physician. While serving as such, the house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in mid-1983; it qualified for inclusion both because of its distinctive architecture and because of its place as the home of a leading local citizen. It is one of thirteen Sandusky County sites on the Register and one of three in a two-block stretch of Park Avenue.</p><br>
<p>Converse Hall is one of the oldest and central buildings on the campus of Westminster University in Salt Lake City, Utah, United States. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.</p><br>

<p>The Christopher C. Layman Law Office is a historic commercial building in the village of Woodville in the northern part of the USA state of Ohio. Built in the late nineteenth century, it has been used for multiple purposes, and it has been designated a historic site.</p><br>
<p>A native of the Canton of Bern in Switzerland, Christopher Layman settled in Ohio in 1847 at the age of two. Throughout the Civil War, he fought in the Army of the Tennessee; after discharge in 1865, he enrolled at the University of Michigan Law School. Following his graduation, he practiced law in Michigan for a time before beginning practice in Columbus, Ohio in 1882. Before long, he moved to Woodville, where he opened the village&#39;s first law firm in 1884. After six years of practicing, he arranged for the erection of the current structure.</p><br>
<p>Built in 1890 in the Italianate style of architecture, Rather than the grand construction found in many Italianate buildings, the Layman Law Office is a modest commercial structure. Here Layman fulfilled many responsibilities: besides serving as the village&#39;s first lawyer, he held office as a justice of the peace and became an agent for multiple insurance companies.</p><br>
<p>Upon Laymans death, his will specified that the property be devised to the local public school district. From 1924 to 1964 the building served as the office of Dr. Chester Egger, Woodvilles general practitioner and surgeon. Since that time, it has reverted to its original use; the office is used by John S. Spore and Associates, a law firm. In 1986, the property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places, qualifying both because of its architectural significance and because of its connection to Layman, who was considered a leading local citizen.</p><br>
<p>The Utkeagvik Church Manse, also known as the Utkeagvik Presbyterian Church Manse and The Pastor&#39;s House, is a historic church parsonage at 1268 Church Street in Utqiaġvik, Alaska. It is a two-story wood frame gambrel-roofed Dutch Colonial, and is distinctive as the only building of this style in Utqiaġvik. Built in 1930, it was also the first two-story building in the community, and the first to be built from a kit, a building method later widely adopted in Arctic Alaska. The kit was configured in Seattle, Washington, shipped by freighter to Utqiaġvik, and assembled by local Native Alaskan workers under the supervision of Dr. Henry Greist. Its construction was funded by the USA Presbyterian Board of Missions. Dr. Greist was for many years a pillar of the local community, who operated an outpatient medical clinic from this building. Geist was a medical doctor and Presbyterian minister who served the people of Utqiaġvik and the surrounding areas from 1921 to 1936. The name Utkeagvik is spelled Utqiaġvik in Iñupiaq, meaning "place to harvest edible roots".</p><br>
<p>The manse was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<p>The Old Mission House was a historic Episcopal church mission house in Fort Yukon, Alaska. It was constructed in 1925 as part of a Native American mission. It was the third mission house built on the site, nearly duplicating one built in 1914 and destroyed by fire. The house is a -story log structure in an L shape, with interior rooms constructed by frame construction. The building was the center of the religious mission, which provided educational and health services to the local Native population. This building was used as a school, providing boarding space for students from distant areas. In 1957 the building was adapted for use as the medical clinic after the previous clinic building was closed and later torn down.</p><br>
<p>The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.</p><br>
<p>The building is not standing anymore at its original location. It was located in an area subjected to heavy floods and it is unclear whether it has been destroyed or relocated elsewhere in Fort Yukon.</p><br>
<p>The Bates Park Historic District is located on the north side Des Moines, Iowa, United States. It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1996. It is part of the Towards a Greater Des Moines MPS.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The historic district is a part of the larger Bates Addition that forms a part of the River Bend Neighborhood. The focal point of the neighborhood is a park that is surrounded by a residential area. The historic district is situated on a plateau. The area west of the district rises gently toward Sixth Street while the land to the east drops into the Des Moines River floodplain.</p><br>
<p>The buildings in the historic district were constructed in the late 19th and early 20th century. The district contains 23 resources of which 17 are contributing properties. Bates Park is one of the resources, as are 14 single-family homes and two stables that were built originally to house horses and possibly carriages. Some of the houses are moderately expensive and are located facing the park and overlooking the river valley. The more modest homes face one another south of the park.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The property where the historic district is located is in a large tract of land that was acquired by Des Moines lawyer and journalist Curtis Bates in 1860. He spent the last part of his life managing his real estate holdings. Bates dies in 1879 and the property was largely undeveloped. His widow Sophia had the land platted as the Bates Addition in 1883 and set aside parkland, which state law at the time prevented the Des Moines park commissioners from accepting. It was not until 1900 that she was able to donate the land to the city and Bates Park was dedicated on August 14, 1900. Over the years the park has been improved. A pavilion, wading pool and playground equipment have been added. A grove of elm trees were destroyed in the 1960s by Dutch Elm disease.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>Houses in the Bates Park Historic District were built starting in the 1890s and construction was completed in the area by 1920. They are single-family homes that are constructed primarily in the Colonial Revival and American Four Square styles. The middle-class homes on the west side of the park were built first and the more modest dwellings south of the park started to be built soon after. Most of the houses feature little by way of architectural detailing.</p><br>
<p>The Chautauqua Park Historic District is located on the north side of Des Moines, Iowa, United States. It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1990. It is part of the Suburban Development in Des Moines Between the World Wars, 1918--1941 MPS.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The name Chautauqua Park refers to the Chautauqua assembly grounds that occupied the property from 1896 to around the turn of the 20th century. The assembly hall, which was said to hold 3,000 people, was located at the present intersection of Nash Drive and Chautauqua Parkway. Senators Robert La Follette and Jonathan P. Dolliver as well as Booker T. Washington lectured in the pavilion.</p><br>
<p>Des Moines University acquired the property after it was no longer used for Chautauqua gatherings. They planned to build a new campus on the site, but financial problems prevented them carrying out their plans. The school merged with Highland Park College in 1918 and later ceased its operations. In 1923 they decided to develop the roughly 60 acre site as a residential subdivision. Original plans for the subdivision included Douglas Park. The park is 7 acre and features a heavily wooded hillside. The creek that ran through the park is now mostly dry.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>Des Moines landscape architect L. Earl Foglesong, who was responsible for the Iowa State Capitol grounds and the Iowa State Fairgrounds, designed Chautauqua Park. Chautauqua Park&#39;s plat features narrow curved roadways that follow the topography of the land. There are no sidewalks in the neighborhood. The district contains 166 properties, of which 118 are houses, 45 are garages and an object (entry posts). Seventy-five houses, 24 garages and the entry posts are contributing properties. The properties that are not contributing were either built after 1941 or have been significantly altered in the years since they were built.</p><br>
<p>Twenty-nine houses were built in the subdivision between 1925 and 1930. Building slowed during the Great Depression when 12 houses were built. Between 1938 and 1941 another 51 houses were built. The houses are generally 1½ stories, constructed of brick and feature intersecting gables. They are primarily Tudor Revival in style. There are also some in a local style of based on the Tudor style known as “Beaverdale Brick.” Because Chautauqua Park was built as a commuter suburb, many of the houses were built with attached garages.</p><br>
<p>There are two entry posts at 13th Street and Chautauqua Parkway that were constructed around 1929. They were constructed of brick with stone trim and concrete gabled tops. Neighborhood donations paid for their construction.</p><br>
<p>The Court Avenue Bridge is a historic structure located in downtown Des Moines, Iowa, United States. It became a contributing property in the Civic Center Historic District in 1988, and was individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places on May 15, 1998 as a part of the Highway Bridges of Iowa MPS.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The first bridge across the Des Moines River at Court Avenue was a toll bridge that was built from 1857 to 1858 under the direction of architect Uriah Burr White. It was the first permanent bridge over the river in the city of Des Moines. Legislators using the bridge in order to get to the capitol building were given passes. The bridge was composed of four spans with double trusses and double arches. It was replaced in 1870 by a Post truss bridge that lasted until at least 1898. The current bridge is believed to be its replacement when it built from 1917 to 1918.</p><br>
<p>The present Court Avenue Bridge is the third of the six current bridges in the Civic Center district to be constructed. The Walnut Street Bridge was built in 1911 and the Locust Street Bridge was built in 1907. Both of the earlier bridges were reconstructed in the 1960s and their original ornamentation was removed at the time. The Court Avenue Bridge was designed by architect James B. Marsh.</p><br>
<p>During a renovation of the bridge in 1982, the bridge deck was replaced and the supporting spans were preserved and rehabilitated. Repairs were made using existing materials and replacement materials were used only when necessary and were matched with the originals as closely as possible. Street lamps with round globes and metal work that reflected the 1910s were added to the bridge in 1986 as a part of a $1.8 million project to refurbish Court Avenue between the bridge and the Polk County Courthouse.</p><br>
<p>Bethel AME Church is a historic African Methodist Episcopal church at 220 Bell Street in Reno, Nevada. It has served as a hub for Reno&#39;s African American community since it was built in 1910 for early black settlers. In addition to its role as a religious and community center, it functioned as a resource center for black divorce seekers who faced difficulties in a segregated city during the middle decades of the twentieth century. In the 1960s, during the American civil rights movement, the church provided a meeting place for the local chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People  and other civil rights activists.</p><br>
<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2001.</p><br>
<p>In 1993, under the pastoral leadership of, the congregation moved to 2655 N Rock Boulevard in Sparks, Nevada. The church continues to thrive in the community and has provided countless programs through the years.</p><br>
<p>The Georg Cronenwett House is a historic residence in the village of Woodville, Ohio, United States. Located along Main Street on the village&#39;s western side, the house has been designated a historic site because of its historic architecture and because of a famous former resident.</p><br>
<p>Born in the town of Langensteinbach in the Grand Duchy of Baden, Georg Cronenwett settled in the United States in 1832 at the age of eighteen. After nine years of life in Monroe, Michigan, he moved to Woodville at the end of 1841. Throughout this time, Cronenwett was a prominent Lutheran missionary in the Great Black Swamp region of northwestern Ohio and southeastern Michigan. In Woodville, he established his center of operations; among the organizations that he founded in the area were a church school and the Woodville Seminary.</p><br>
<p>Cronenwett arranged for the construction of the present house in 1858. Some parts are older than others; Cronenwett&#39;s original house was only the center of the current structure. This original portion is three bays wide and entered through a recessed main entrance on one side. The house was the first Woodville building to be erected as a parsonage.</p><br>
<p>In late 1978, the Georg Cronenwett House was listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It qualified for this designation in two different ways: its architecture was deemed of historic significance, and Cronenwett was such an important member of the community&#39;s history that the house qualified because of its connection to him. More than seven years later, one other Fremont building joined the Cronenwett House on the National Register: the Christopher C. Layman Law Office, an Italianate building on First Street.</p><br>
<p>The Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapolis and Omaha Railroad Passenger Station is a former train station located in Rice Lake, Wisconsin. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2007.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapolis and Omaha Railroad Passenger Station was built in 1909, replacing and an earlier station. It was operated by The Omaha Road until 1957, when the line was leased by the Chicago and North Western Transportation Company. The station closed in 1979.</p><br>
<p>The Joseph and Rachel Bartlett House is a historic residence in the city of Fremont, Ohio, United States. Built in 1872, it is one of the city&#39;s more prominent examples of high-style architecture.</p><br>
<p>Born near Tiffin, Ohio in 1830, Joseph R. Bartlett moved to Lower Sandusky (now Fremont) in 1833 with his family. After reading law under his father, young Bartlett entered the legal profession and soon became one of Sandusky County&#39;s leading citizens. By the early 1870s, he and his wife Rachel had become sufficiently prosperous to erect a grand house on Park Avenue south of the Sandusky County Courthouse. Choosing limestone for the foundation, weatherboarding for the walls, and an asphalt roof, the Bartletts arranged for the construction of an ornate house that mixed elements of the Italianate and Second Empire styles of architecture. Many distinctive architectural elements characterize their house, including peaked dormers on the mansard roof, a large tower on one corner, ornate carvings on the porch, detailed hood molding, and an elaborate set of carvings and plaster work on the interior. Even the doorways are distinctive: few Fremont houses feature an entrance through a corner tower in the manner of the Bartlett House.</p><br>
<p>After the Bartletts moved out of the house, it was used by multiple other parties; among the most prominent occupants were Sardis and Margaret Cole and the First United Methodist Church, and it is now used as offices by a local lawyer, Jim Ellis. In 1990, the Bartlett House was listed on the National Register of Historic Places, qualifying because of its historically significant architecture. Among the most important elements of its design is the general style: the majority of houses in the city are contemporary with the Bartlett House, but they are generally smaller vernacular buildings; the architect-designed high style of the Bartlett House presents a strong contrast to the typical Fremont residence. Among the exceptions to this pattern is the Frederick Fabing House; located across the street from the Bartlett House, it features an even more distinctive Second Empire facade.</p><br>
<p>Glen Park Municipal Swimming Pool is a historic swimming pool in River Falls, Wisconsin. The complex includes a pool and two American Craftsman Style buildings. The pool was built as a Civil Works Administration project during the Great Depression. Work on the pool began in 1933-34 and continued through 1937 with additional support from the Public Works Administration and Works Progress Administration. Engineer Herman T. Hagestad, who would later become city engineer and ultimately mayor of River Falls, designed the pool. The pool was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2007 and is still operational.</p><br>
<p>Jabodon is a historic vacation resort in the Town of Washington, Vilas County, Wisconsin. The resort is located on Cranberry Lake in the Eagle River Chain of Lakes and exemplifies Northern Wisconsin vacation resorts of the early 20th century. Land was set aside for Jabodon in 1922 by the Everett Resort, a larger resort established in the 1890s. Jabodon&#39;s main house, an American Craftsman house, was constructed in 1924; its boathouse was likely built in the same year. The original boathouse later burned in a fire and was rebuilt in 1937. Additional amenities such as a swimming pool and tennis courts were added to the site in the 1940s. Jabodon was added to the National Register of Historic Places on March 25, 2009.</p><br>
<p>St. Luke&#39;s Episcopal Church, Chapel, Guildhall, and Rectory is a historic church complex in Racine, Wisconsin. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1979 for its architectural significance.</p><br>
<p>St. Luke&#39;s parish was established in 1842, the ninth Episcopal parish in Wisconsin. Its first church building burned in 1866. That same year E. Townsend Mix of Milwaukee began designing the replacement, which remains the current church building. Lucas Bradley built it. Its style is Gothic Revival, with walls of cream brick, buttresses, a rose window above the main entrance, lancet windows, and a 150-foot corner tower turned 45 degrees from the rest of the building. The steeple is octagonal, with four clocks from the Seth Thomas Co. The church is close to the same design that Mix used for First Methodist in Monroe.</p><br>
<p>Behind the church on 7th Street is the Chapel of the Holy Spirit. It was originally built in 1849 as an early fire station — Engine House No. 3. In 1899 it was donated to the church and converted to a chapel. In 1930 it was restyled Gothic Revival to complement the church.</p><br>
<p>In 1898 the parish built a guildhall west of the firehouse. It is styled Gothic Revival like the other buildings, with lancet windows and a cross in the brickwork.</p><br>
<p>Between 1905 and 1910 the rectory was added, a -story cream-brick building designed by A. Arthur Guilbert in Gothic Revival style. It has since been converted to serve as Parish Center, with an auditorium added in 1956.</p><br>
