<p>Central School is a school located at 218 West Cayuga Street in Iron River, Michigan, United States. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2008.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Iron River constructed the first Central School just south of the site of the present building in 1884. The school was expanded in 1889, 1898, and 1902; the city built additional buildings, but the school system struggled to keep up with the booming population of Iron River. In 1902, a new school building was planned for the site, and the Milwaukee firm of Van Ryn & DeGelleke was engaged to design the building. However, construction did not begin until 1904, when Newman & Johnson were awarded a contract to construct the school. However, the new building was sufficient for only a few years, and in 1910 the school district engaged John D. Chubb of Chicago to design two wings and a boiler room, which were constructed in 1910-11. "Annexes," likely separate temporary structures, were constructed in 1923, but removed some time later.</p><br>
<p>Central School served as a high school until 1928, when the district built a new high school. After that, it served as a primary and secondary school, with a fluctuating student population as the economy fluctuated and as schools were consolidated.</p><br>
<p>The school closed in 1980 and was used for storage afterward. known as the "Apple Blossom Apartments."</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>With its Flemish gable ends, the school is a fine example of Dutch Colonial Revival-style architecture. The original building contained ten classrooms, lab and recitation space, and a 500-seat assembly hall.</p><br>
<p>A contemporaneous account describes the original structure:</p><br>
<p>The 1910-11 wings added more classrooms, as well as a music studio, commercial room, stenographic room, dark room, and offices for school district personnel.</p><br>

<p>The Dayton House is a historic home located at 243 Dearborn Street, in the Black Rock neighborhood of Buffalo, Erie County, New York.</p><br>
<p>It was the home of Lewis P. Dayton (1821–1900), noted physician and Mayor of the City of Buffalo, New York, serving 1874–1875. The house has been dated to about 1840 in the Georgian style. It received an Italianate update in the 1870s and is an excellent example of canal era prosperity. It is the only remaining brick residence of its style in Black Rock.</p><br>
<p>In 2011 the building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>The United States Post Office is a historic building located in Des Moines, Iowa, United States. It was individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974. It became a contributing property of the Civic Center Historic District when it was established in 1988. It now houses administrative offices for Polk County.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Prior to the opening of this building the post office was located in the old Federal Building at Fifth and Court Avenues, beginning in 1870. A $150,000 appropriation was approved by the United States Congress in legislation passed in 1902 for property for a new post office. A further appropriation was passed in 1904 and in 1906 the first of three appropriations for constructing the building was passed. The building was designed by James Knox Taylor of the United States Treasury Department staff in 1908 and construction began the following year. The building was completed in 1910 for $488,016.67. The post offices was the second building constructed in the Civic Center district and the first structure the federal government provided as part of the City Beautiful Movement project in the city of Des Moines.</p><br>
<p>The post office moved their operations into the building in the spring of 1910. By 1925 the building was becoming too small to house postal operations. The Des Moines architectural firm of Wetherell & Harrison drew up plans in the early 1930s for a large addition to the south, but no money was appropriated for it. Plans for a smaller addition were approved in 1934 and completed the following year. There were plans for another addition to the south, but it was never built. However, a smaller addition, which was torn down in the 1970s, was subsequently built. The post office moved their operations from this building to a larger facility at Second and University Avenues in 1971. The building sat empty until the late 1970s when it was acquired by Polk County. They in turn renovated the building for their use as an office building, which was designed by the Des Moines architectural firm of Woodburn & O&#39;Neil. The north lobby of the building is preserved and used as a public place for art and historical exhibits. It is known as the Polk County Heritage Gallery.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The former post office building is similar in design to the Municipal Court Building across the Des Moines River, which was designed and built at the same time. Both the original building and the 1935 addition are steel frame structures faced with limestone and built on a granite base. It features large semi-circular arched windows, tall smooth columns, simple entablature, massing, materials, and classical detail. The addition continues the massing and restrained design of the original building in a simplified manner that was more popular in the 1930s. The county created a promenade entranceway on the south side of the building when they renovated the structure in the late 1970s.</p><br>
<p>The United States Courthouse, located in Des Moines, Iowa, is the headquarters for the United States District Court for the Southern District of Iowa. It is part of the Civic Center Historic District that was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The United States District Court for the District of Iowa was established on March 3, 1845. It was divided into the Northern and Southern Districts on July 20, 1882. Des Moines became the headquarters for the Southern District and in 1902 there were discussions that the riverfront would be a suitable location for a new Federal Courthouse. While other sites were considered in 1913 when funds were allocated for a new courthouse, the riverfront was still the desired location. Property was purchased in 1918, but there was a desire for more land so construction was delayed until it was purchased in 1926. The building was designed by and constructed under the direction of the Office of the Supervising Architect under James A. Wetmore. The courthouse joined other buildings in a Civic Center district that flanks the Des Moines River. Their placement reflects the City Beautiful Movement, which upheld the notions of civic patriotism, urban economics and beauty.</p><br>
<p>The building opened in 1929. Not only did it house space for the court, but also War, Justice, Navy, Interior, Agriculture, Commerce, Treasury and the United States Post Office departments. The building has subsequently been turned over to the courts and the other departments have moved to another office building downtown. An annex building was constructed to the south of the courthouse in 1995.</p><br>
<p>A landmark legal decision was made in the courthouse in 1979. Judge William Stuart held that the federal government has the right to legislate travel by long trucks on interstate highways that are maintained by federal funding. The decision was upheld by the United States Supreme Court.</p><br>
<p>By 2015 the Southern District of Iowa had determined that the courthouse does not have adequate space, there are not enough courtrooms, and there are security concerns. A spending bill approved by President Barack Obama in December 2015 provided money for a new federal courthouse in Des Moines, but its location, cost and schedule to open have not been determined.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The courthouse complex occupies an entire city block with its main façade on Walnut Street. The building is four stories tall and built on a raised basement. While it appears to be rectangular in shape, it is actually E-shaped. The Classical Revival style building is a steel-framed structure covered in Indiana limestone. The raised basement is ashlar limestone and features flat-arched window openings. The piano nobile is finished with rusticated limestone and has semi-circular arched window openings that are ornamented with keystones. The top two stories feature two-story Corinthian columns and pilasters. The top floor has paneled pilasters and a banded cornice. The main façade is 19-bays wide with slightly projecting pavilions on both corners.</p><br>
<p>Like the exterior, the interior also reflects the Classical Revival style. The main entrance was relocated to the basement level to accommodate everyone regardless of disability. The entrance opens into the main foyer, which contains the original gold, black, and white speckled terrazzo flooring framed by a base of red Verona marble. The grand staircase is composed of Napoleon gray marble treads and buff-colored marble risers. The balustrade is made of cast iron and features vine-like curved scrolls with floral accents, fitted between bands of floral discs and squares. A mural is located above the lower stairs and portrays pioneers and a blacksmith. It is possibly a Works Project Administration commission. A plaster coffered ceiling completes the entrance hall.</p><br>
<p>The main courtroom on the second floor was restored in 1988. It still maintains its original floor bordered in pink Tennessee marble and a coffered ceiling. The walls are plastered to look like travertine ashlar masonry. The judge&#39;s bench sits on top of a platform of pink Tennessee marble. It sits in front of an alcove flanked by two Corinthian columns. Above the bench are the words, Justitia Omnibus (Justice for All).</p><br>
<p>The Ingersoll Place Plat Historic District is located in Des Moines, Iowa, United States. It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 2000. The historic significance of the district is based on the concentration of bungalows and square houses as well as a mix of subtypes.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Des Moines Life Insurance Company officially created the Ingersoll Place Plat on September 27, 1906. At the same time the Ingersoll Run sewer line was put under contract. The 21,460 ft of main sewer line brought sewer service to the northwest side of Des Moines. Early residential development began near Ingersoll Park, an amusement park that was located at 42nd Street and Ingersoll until 1911. Housing construction then moved east from there, which is contrary to the city&#39;s general east to west movement of development. Ingersoll Avenue also had a streetcar line since 1897, which made the area attractive for development. The Financial Panic of 1905–1906, however, delayed construction. Fifty of the lots were foreclosed on and had to be resold.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>A majority of the houses in the district, twenty-four, are square house plans. Front gabled houses number thirteen, eight have hipped roofs and three have side gables. The houses with hip roofs are found in the east end and the front-gables houses are found in the west.</p><br>
<p>The district has five bungalows with front gables; all but one is on Linden Street. Two houses are part of a subtype of bungalows with a hip roof and two have a double gable on the front of the house. Two more houses follow the subtype of a gable front with a gabled side porch.</p><br>
<p>Five more bungalows have side gables. Three are on Linden Street, and there is one each on High and 28th Streets. Three houses feature a subtype of this style has a single roof pitch and full-width front porch. Two more houses have a single roof pitch, offset with a less than full-width front porch. There is also one house that has a double main roof pitch. It also has a combination of American Craftsman and Classical Revival ornamentation.</p><br>
<p>Seven houses are neither bungalows nor square houses. Two houses are a vernacular side gable, story-and-a-half, square house that is popular in Des Moines. Two houses were built in the Colonial Revival style, and one each were built in the Neoclassical and Prairie School styles. One house on High Street is a large two-story double-square plan with a hipped roof that defies classification. There are thirteen detached garages that are also contributing properties.</p><br>

<p>St. Joseph&#39;s Catholic Church Complex is located in Waukesha, Wisconsin. The church building itself was built in 1888. On October 28, 1983, the complex was added to the National Register of Historic Places for its architectural significance.</p><br>
<p>St. Joseph&#39;s Parish was organized in 1842, the first Roman Catholic church in Waukesha. Solomon Juneau donated the first church building, which was a log cabin on the site of the current complex. In 1844 the parish built a stone church building, which has since served as a parish hall, school, and medical clinic. This 1844 building has been remodeled enough that it is not part of the NRHP nomination.</p><br>
<p>In 1888 the parish began building a larger church building. Adolphus Druiding of Chicago designed it in High Victorian Gothic style, with its emphasis on the vertical. The exterior is rock-faced, randomly-coursed limestone, with multiple rose windows, lancet windows, and multiple gables and spires. Each gable is topped with a cross. The layout is asymmetric, with a large tower on one side of the main entrance, rising to a tall steeple topped with a cross.</p><br>
<p>The Brown House is the other part of the complex that is part of the NRHP nomination. It was built around 1878, a two-story brick house with Greek Revival massing and Italianate details. It was originally the home of Martin Brown, a harness maker. The church later used the house as a convent.</p><br>
<p>Both the church building and the Brown house were nominated to the NRHP for their architectural significance. They are some of the best surviving examples of their styles in Waukesha.</p><br>
<p>St. Peters and St. Josephs Catholic Churches are two historic Catholic churches in Oconto, Wisconsin, United States, both built in the 1890s. On November 10, 1980, they were added together to the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>Oconto has a long history of French involvement, going back to the Jesuit missionary Allouez and fur-trading days. In 1857 the Catholic church established its first parish in Oconto, St Peter&#39;s, building a small wooden church. Initially the congregation was heavily French-American, and the French language was used in services.</p><br>
<p>But there were also non-French Catholics. Over time their numbers grew and they werent satisfied with the French dominance at St Peters. In 1869 100 families split off under Father Mathias Schwebach and formed St. Josephs parish. Most of these families had German, Dutch or Irish roots. To hold the more diverse congregation together, services rotated between English, Dutch, German and Bohemian. Like St. Peters, St. Joseph&#39;s initially built a small wooden church building.</p><br>
<p>But the parishes grew. In 1895 St. Josephs replaced the wooden building with the brick church that stands today. Carlos Buck of Green Bay designed the new building in High Victorian Gothic style. From the rough stone foundation rise cream brick walls highlighted with red brick trim. Brick buttresses brace the walls. The main entrances on the front are three double doors. Above the central door is a stout tower braced by trompe-lœil flying buttresses. The tower rises to a pyramidal spire with four smaller spires on the corners. The large central spire is topped with a cross. Behind the tower, an octagonal roof lantern perches where the gables cross. Inside, the ceiling is decorated with ornamental plaster work. When the church was built, various national groups donated stained glass windows depicting their favored saints.</p><br>
<p>In 1899, four years after St. Josephs built, St. Peters replaced their wooden church with a brick one. This one was designed by Henry Foeller of Green Bay, done in Romanesque Revival style. Typical of that style, the foundation is rusticated stone and the arches are round-topped. It is all in red brick, with arcades and emphasis on the vertical. Above the one main front entrance is a tall central tower, with a conical spire topped with a cross. The apse at the back of the building is lit by oculi windows.</p><br>
<p>The Warfield, Pratt and Howell Company Warehouse is a historic building located in downtown Des Moines, Iowa, United States. The building was built by wholesale grocer Warfield, Pratt and Howell Company. Wilson R. Warfield and John W. Howell moved their business to Des Moines in 1860 and moved to this location in 1884. William J. Pratt joined the partnership in 1897. The structure is a six-story commercial and office building that rises 93 ft above the ground. The building was designed by Architect, Frank Crocker, and it is considered a good example of warehouse construction from the turn of the 20th century. It was completed in 1901 with an addition completed in 1909. It features load bearing brick piers, bearing walls, and wood column and girder technology on the interior. Other wholesale firms were housed in the building after 1935. It was part of a redeveloped district in the 1980s. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.</p><br>
<p>St. Peter&#39;s Church is a Catholic Church located at 1010 Newark Drive, Town of Farmington, Wisconsin. It was built in 1861 by a congregation of German immigrant farmers. Like many early structures in southeastern Wisconsin, it is made of mortared fieldstone, and is one of four surviving fieldstone churches in Washington County, Wisconsin. Church services were in German until 1930.</p><br>
<p>In 1874, the congregation built a schoolhouse nearby, which operated into the 1920s. There is also a cemetery behind the church.</p><br>
<p>On June 30, 1983, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places for its architectural significance. Regular church services were discontinued in the 20th century, and as of the building&#39;s addition to the register, it was only used on Easter and Christmas.</p><br>
<p>The Iowa Commission for the Blind Building is a historic building located in downtown Des Moines, Iowa. The building is a steel-framed structure covered in brick. It is a nine-story state government office building that rises 95 ft above the ground.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The building was completed in 1913 for use by the YMCA. It was designed by the Des Moines architectural firm of Proudfoot, Bird & Rawson in the Neoclassical style. When the YMCA moved to their present location in 1959, the state acquired the building for the Iowa Commission for the Blind. It was here that the commission, under the direction of Dr. Kenneth Jernigan transformed rehabilitation services for the blind in the state into what became known as the Iowa Model. It is based on the belief that with the proper training and opportunity, the blind can live productive and successful lives. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000.</p><br>
<p>St. Matthias Episcopal Church is a Gothic Revival-styled limestone-clad church built from 1851 to 1855 in Waukesha, Wisconsin. It was built by St. Matthias parish of the Episcopal Church, now in the Diocese of Milwaukee, and is the oldest church building in Waukesha that survives basically intact.</p><br>
<p>The Waukesha congregation began in 1839 or 1840 when Rev. Lemuel B. Hull of St. Paul&#39;s in Milwaukee walked out into the wilds to conduct the first Episcopal services there. In 1843 those early Episcopalians built a little chapel on Barstow Street. In 1844 the parish was formally organized with the Rev. James Lloyd Breck as the first rector. Breck was invited to choose the patron saint of the church. In 1848 Rev. James Abercrombie became rector.</p><br>
<p>In 1851 the parish began constructing the large limestone-clad building that still stands today. The cornerstone was laid that year with initial pledges of $1,000, but that proved insufficient, and Rev. Abercrombie had to go back east for $4,000 more for the building. The building&#39;s style is Gothic Revival, with its emphasis on the vertical clear in the spire and the pointed arches topping the windows and doorways. The walls are of local limestone, dressed, and randomly coursed. The main entrance is through the corner tower. The tower is square, with the lower parts flanked by diagonal buttresses, and the top capped with a spire that rises to a cross.</p><br>
<p>A side-chapel was added to the building in 1887, built by Eales and Dresden.</p><br>
<p>On October 28, 1983, the church was added to the National Register of Historic Places as an exemplar of Gothic Revival style in Waukesha and for its fine stonework.</p><br>
<p>The Hubbell Building is a historic building located in downtown Des Moines, Iowa, United States. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004. It has been featured on the Discovery Channel show Dirty Jobs.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The building is a steel framed structure covered in brick. It is a ten-story building that rises 151 ft above the ground. The building was designed by the Des Moines architectural firm of Proudfoot, Bird & Rawson and completed in 1913. F. M. Hubbell, Son, & Company, Inc., a real estate firm established in 1887, had the building constructed. Their corporate headquarters that oversaw their various companies was located here. Most of the building was rented out to other firms. It was designed by the prominent Des Moines architectural firm of Proudfoot, Bird & Rawson. Originally, the building had a more ornate appearance, but in the late 1940s part of the cornice fell onto sidewalk prompting its removal in 1948. It was replaced them with smooth concrete panels. The Des Moines architectural firm Brooks Borg, who designed that project also designed the simplification of the building&#39;s storefront level in 1950. In the later project, panels of dark green stone replaced terracotta pilasters, and cast concrete panels replaced terracotta window surrounds on the second floor and glass transoms on the first floor. The building was connected to the Des Moines skywalk system in 2002.</p><br>
<p>The United Unitarian and Universalist Church in Mukwonago, Wisconsin is a Victorian Gothic-styled church and meeting hall built in 1878 - the only Yankee-built church remaining in the town. In 1987 it was added to the National Register of Historic Places for its significance in architecture and social history.</p><br>
<p>Mukwonago was founded in 1836 by three Yankees from New England. Forty years later, two of those founders were still alive and helped to found this church. Sewell Andrews was a Universalist and Martin Field was a Unitarian. These were two separate denominations at the time, which would not formally merge for eighty years, but in Mukwonago they decided to form a joint congregation, chartering the town&#39;s Unitarian and Universalist church society in 1877.</p><br>
<p>The following year the society started building its church right in the middle of Mukwonago, a block south of the main intersection and across the street from the homes of Andrews and Field. They chose an unusual but practical model for their building, with a public meeting hall on the first floor and worship space above. The style of the building is a pretty standard white frame church like what the founders probably knew from New England. The styling is Victorian Gothic, characterized by strict symmetry and the pointed arches in all the upper openings, all pointing to heaven. The steeple was originally topped with a spire, but that was removed after it was struck by lightning around 1906. The windows of the first floor public meeting hall are less "churchy," with round-topped arches.</p><br>
<p>The new building was dedicated in August 1879, with a dedication sermon from Olympia Brown, the first woman ordained as a minister in the USA and a womens suffragette. Brown preached part-time at the church for years after. Some other early women ministers included Carrie Rice, Nellie Opdahl, and Florence Pollack, attesting to the congregations liberal leaning for the time.</p><br>
<p>The public hall downstairs hosted many other organizations, including the local Good Templars, the Womens Christian Temperance Union, the Territorial Badgers, the Modern Woodmen, the Royal Neighbors, the villages creamery company, the Farmer&#39;s Mutual Insurance Company, along with town meetings. The building was shared with other denominations before they could build their own churches, including the German Lutheran Church, the Catholic Advancement Association, the Methodist Episcopal Society, and the United Church of Christ.</p><br>
<p>Mukwonago had two other early churches from the same era - the 1872 Congregational church and the 1879 Baptist church - but both were demolished in the 1970s or 80s, leaving the Unitarian Universalist church as the only survivor from that Yankee era. The UU church is very little changed from when it was built, other than the missing spire.</p><br>
<p>In 2007 the Unitarian Universalist congregation moved from this building into Waukesha and this building was bought by the Episcopal Church of the Resurrection.</p><br>
<p>Brown-Moore Blacksmith Shop is a historic blacksmith shop located at Luzerne Township, Fayette County, Pennsylvania. The shop began operation in 1822, and remained open until 1939. It is a rectangular brick building with a corrugated metal roof. It has a rectangular wood frame wagon shop addition rebuilt in 1919 after a fire. The shop has two large stone, hand-operated forges.</p><br>
<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.</p><br>
<p>Oak Hill Estate, also known as Mt. St. Macrina and Fox Hill, is an historic, American estate that is located in North Union Township, Fayette County, Pennsylvania.</p><br>
<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.</p><br>
<h2>History and architectural features</h2><br>
<p>Located on the property are seven contributing buildings, four contributing sites, and one contributing structure. The estate was developed in 1903, by coal baron J.V. Thompson, an associate of Henry Clay Frick, and was conceptualized by architect Daniel Burnham. The mansion is a three-story, forty-two-room, 18,313-square-foot, brick building that was designed in the Classical Revival style. Other contributing buildings include a smaller residence built for Thompsons son, a pool house, a carriage house/stable, a pumphouse, a schoolhouse/servants quarters, and garage. The contributing sites and structure are the Springer cemetery (c. 1840), west gate and drive, stone wall, and the remains of a small garage, racetrack, and conservatory/pool. The private estate was sold after Thompson&#39;s death in 1933, to the Sisters of the Order of St. Basil the Great.</p><br>
<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.</p><br>

<p>The Chicagon Mine Road–Chicagon Creek Bridge is a bridge located on Chicagon Mine Road over Chicagon Creek in Bates Township, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Chicagon Mine Road–Chicagon Creek Bridge was built in 1910, likely for the Iron County Road Commission. In the era before the standardization of bridge design by the Michigan State Highway Department, this bridge is a notable early example of a concrete slab bridge. The bridge is still in good condition.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Chicagon Mine Road–Chicagon Creek Bridge has a main span 25 ft long and 16.3 ft wide. The bridge consists of a single concrete slab supported by concrete abutments with angled concrete wingwalls. The bridge has simple details, with the interior surface of the rails containing recessed panels, with "September 7, 1910" etched in the coping of one guardrail, and "DB" etched in the other.</p><br>
<p>Casa Navarro is a historic site in San Antonio, Bexar County, in the USA state of Texas. The original house complex was the residence of Texas patriot José Antonio Navarro , a rancher, merchant, leading advocate for Tejano rights, and one of only two native-born Texans to sign the Texas Declaration of Independence. Navarro first bought the property, about 1.5 acres, in 1832. The limestone, caliche block, and adobe structures were built c. 1832–1855, and Navarro moved onto the property soon after.</p><br>
<p>The site is situated in the heart of old San Antonio, in what used to be a thriving Tejano neighborhood known as Laredito. The structures were acquired and restored by the San Antonio Conservation Society between 1960 and 1964, and the site was opened to the public in October 1964. The site was designated a Texas State Historic Landmark in 1962, and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972. On January 1, 2008, the house was transferred from the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department to the Texas Historical Commission. It was designated a National Historic Landmark in 2016.</p><br>
<p>Today, visitors can tour Navarros one-story limestone house — a fine example of early-statehood domestic architecture — read copies of his writing and discuss questions of history with informed staff. There is also a two-story square store and office building, noted for its bold quoins, which anchor the edges of the buildings walls. The detached adobe and caliche block kitchen is typical of early Texas architecture with front and rear porches.</p><br>
<p>The Forest Route 157–Tamarack River Bridge, also known as the San Souci Bridge, was a bridge located on Federal Forest Highway 157 over the Tamarack River in Stambaugh Township, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999, and demolished in the late 2000s.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>During the 1910s, a road was developed through Iron County running from Dickinson County through Crystal Falls and Iron River and on to Gogebic County. Between Iron River and the county line, the road crossed three rivers: Cooks Run River, the Paint River and the Tamarack River. In 1915 the Michigan State Highway Department let out contracts to construct 50 ft spans over each river; these bridges were designated Trunk Line Bridges 26, 27, and 28, respectively. Barnum and Counihan were awarded the contracts to build the bridges at Cooks Run and over the Tamarack River. The Tamarack River bridge was completed in 1916 at a cost of $2,826.10.</p><br>
<p>The bridge was the last link in the trunk line route—then known as the "Cloverland Trail"—and on July 21, 1916 was the site of the formal dedication of the route. It was located near the Sans Souci flag railroad station on a Chicago and North Western line. 1,500 people took part, although many of them were forced to arrive by train, alongside about 270 automobiles and motorcars. Food included 1,500 lb of meat.</p><br>
<p>In the 1920s the Cloverland Trail developed into US Highway 2, but by 1942 the segment crossing the Tamarack River had been realigned, and the old section re-designated as a Forest Road in the Ottawa National Forest. The Forest Route 157–Tamarack River Bridge carried vehicular traffic, and was in essentially unaltered condition. The bridge was technologically significant as one of the two oldest concrete girder bridges designed by the Michigan State Highway Department.</p><br>
<p>The bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999, but it was demolished and replaced in the late 2000s.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The main span of the Forest Route 157–Tamarack River Bridge was 50 ft long and 19 ft wide, with a roadway width of 17 ft.

<p>The Mansfield Road–Michigamme River Bridge was a bridge located on Mansfield Road over the Michigamme River in Mansfield Township, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The village of Mansfield was platted in 1889, and grew rapidly along with the nearby Mansfield Mine. However, in 1893, the mine collapsed and flooded, killing 27 miners. The mine closed, and Mansfield was leveled by a forest fire. In 1896, the mine was reopened, and was kept in operation until 1913.</p><br>
<p>Also in 1913, the Iron County Road Commission began the development of a trunk line route through Crystal Falls and into Mansfield. They planned further development of the route to the east, but this required that the bridge over the Michigammes River be replaced. In 1914, it was decided to replace the bridge. The Michigan State Highway Department designed a new bridge, and the contract to build it was awarded to McGrath and Sons of Green Bay, Wisconsin, for $9,769.06. The bride was completed in 1915. The trunk line through Mansfield was later incorporated into M-69, but by 1936 the highway was rerouted and the section of road containing this bridge was reverted to a county road.</p><br>
<p>In 2007, the bridge was replaced with a replica.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Mansfield Road–Michigamme River Bridge was 102 ft long and 20 ft wide, with a main span of 85 ft and a roadway width of 17.5 ft. It was a filled spandrel arch with an elliptical profile sitting atop concrete abutments. The tapered arch ring is corbeled on each side, and the guardrails contain panels. The Mansfield Bridge is significant as the longest of the early arched bridges designed by the Michigan State Highway Department.</p><br>
<p>The US 2–Iron River Bridge, also known as the Genesee Street Bridge, is a bridge located on Genesee Street  over the Iron River in Iron River, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The village of Iron River was platted in 1881 along the Iron River. The river itself flowed through the center of town, and was an impediment to travel between the two sides of town. The first bridge spanning the river here was built in the 19th century; however, the boom in Iron River&#39;s population in the early 20th century, in addition to the designation of a state trunk line through Iron River, put a strain on the original structure. In the mid-1910s, the village requested the Michigan State Highway Department design a replacement. The department designed this structure, designating it Trunk Line Bridge No. 191, and awarded a contract for its construction to the Hoose and Person Construction Company. Hoose and Person completed the bridge in 1917 at a cost of $20,343.16, of which the village of Iron River paid approximately two-thirds. In the 1920s, the trunk line through Iron River was incorporated into US 2.</p><br>
<p>In 1998, US-2 was relocated, and the section where this bridge stands left to carry local traffic.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Iron River bridge is a filled spandrel arch bridge 55 ft long and 75 ft wide, with a roadway width of 45 ft. It has a tapered ring arch, corbeled slightly from the spandrel. Concrete guardrails with incised panels are on each side. The bridge is in essentially unaltered condition.</p><br>

<p>The Bozeman Carnegie Library in Bozeman, Montana was built in 1903–1904 with funding from Andrew Carnegie. City librarian Bell Chrisman led the effort to convince the city to seek Carnegie funds. It is one of 17 libraries in Montana and 1,679 in the United States funded by Carnegie. It was built on a Greek Cross plan in Classical Revival style, with Roman Doric columns supporting a triangular pediment at its entrance. The library was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on February 2, 1979. Today, the building houses the law offices of Cok Kinzler.</p><br>
<h2>Establishment</h2><br>
<p>By 1900, the small libraries that had served Bozeman since 1872 were inadequate. Local librarian Bell Chrisman wrote directly to Andrew Carnegie, explaining the need for a new library. Carnegie donated $15,000, and the city of Bozeman pledged annual support and provided land, which at the time happened to be across the street from the red-light district and Chinatown, which had opium dens. Reform-minded citizens with Progressive beliefs, led by Bell Chrisman, intentionally selected the location to rid Bozeman of its disreputable neighborhood. Although the proposed location met considerable opposition, Chrisman and her followers prevailed, and the red-light district and the Chinese population dwindled.</p><br>
<p>The building was designed by Charles S. Haire, an architect from Helena, Montana, and served as a library until 1980 when a new library was completed. The building then housed city offices. By the mid-1990s, the building was in a serious state of disrepair. In 1998, Michael Wheat, now a member of the Montana Supreme Court, and his law partner, Michael Cok, purchased the building for their law offices and undertook extensive renovations which were completed in 1999. Today, the building is often opened for public events, including Historic Preservation Week.</p><br>
<p>According to local preservationist B. Derek Strahn, several other buildings in Bozemans historic section were renovated in the 1990s and early 2000s, but "few have had as great an impact as the restoration and rehabilitation of Bozemans cherished Carnegie Library."</p><br>

<p>The Church of St. Mary of Victories is a historic Roman Catholic church in downtown St. Louis, Missouri, in the Chouteau&#39;s Landing Historic District south of the Gateway Arch. It was established in 1843, and was the second Catholic Church to be built in the city. It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The church was built to serve the needs of about 500 families who had emigrated from Germany. It is located in the hub of the pioneer "Chouteau&#39;s Landing" District, one of the early commercial and residential neighborhoods where the German immigrants settled in pre-Civil War era St. Louis. It took its name from a noted feast day proclaimed by Pope Pius V to celebrate the victory of the Christian Navy over Islamic forces in the Battle of Lepanto, off the coast of Italy in the Adriatic Sea in 1571. The church is also a consecrated church (1866) at the direction of Pope Pius IX. It also has an indulgenced High Altar (where hundreds of relics of saints are entombed) bestowed by Pope Leo XIII in the late 19th century.</p><br>
<p>St. Marys served as the first ethnic parish and spiritual home to the German Roman Catholic population of the city for the next century. It also provided a temporary home to a small community of Lebanese immigrants in the 20th-century, who went on to found a church in their own—present-day St. Raymond Maronite Cathedral in LaSalle Park neighborhood. St. Raymonds is now the Cathedral for the Maronite Eparchy west of the Mississippi River in the USA.</p><br>
<p>Its former Archbishop, Most. Rev. Robert J. Shaheen, built the present St. Raymond&#39;s Cathedral under his pastoral administration.</p><br>
<p>The 1950s saw the departure from the city of a large number of the families whose German ancestors had worshiped there. They were replaced by a large community of refugees from Hungary after World War II and the 1956 Hungarian Uprising. They gave new life to the parish, which became unofficially called the "Hungarian Church" (Magyar Templom).</p><br>
<p>The church was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980. It is also a consecrated Roman Catholic church; that is, the Vatican has bestowed the consecration privilege on the church itself by Pope Pius IX, performed with a specific ritual by St. Louis Archbishop Peter Richard Kenrick in 1866. Archbishop Kenrick anointed each of the interior walls of the church with chrism oil per the consecration ritual, and today, brass wall cross sconces (candleholders) are displayed on the walls noting the consecration locations. While all Catholic churches are blessed, only a few in a diocese are consecrated, and it assures the church may only be used for Roman Catholic worship and for no other purpose. The main altar of the church also has an Indulgence attached to it by Pope Leo XIII in 1896, granting temporal remission of sins at the time of death for those Catholics saying the specific prayers, and dying in the state of grace.</p><br>
<p>In 2005, the church closed as an official parish and opened as a chapel.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>George I. Barnett and Franz Saler, the distinguished architects of St. Mary&#39;s Church, designed it in accordance with that of the early 16th-Century Mannerist style. The nave is rectangular and, with the transept, forms a cross with the sanctuary at its head. The choir loft is located on the second tier of the two-tier balcony at the rear of the church. Its ornate wooden-carved organ case and stenciled display pipes are among the oldest in St. Louis.</p><br>
<p>Eight tall stained-glass windows with rounded frames grace the nave and the transept, complementing the high arch of the sanctuary. The Egyptian-style doorway to the church is framed by two massive pillars that hold up the heavy wooden cross above the entrance.</p><br>
<p>The interior of St. Mary of Victories is also remarkable as the first interior in a St. Louis church whose design was based upon liturgical studies. It was developed and constructed by Max Schneiderhahn, the city&#39;s first professional church artist. Himself a German immigrant, Schneiderhahn studied at a German university and two monasteries, bringing the craftsmanship tradition of liturgical art to the St. Louis area. The altars, statuary, steepled baptismal font, communion rail, carvings and frescoes were all conceived and executed by Schneiderhahn, who also painted the Stations of the Cross.</p><br>
<p>Within its hallowed walls are also other liturgical art treasures and fixtures donated at later dates by other Roman Catholic religious orders and communities in the metro St. Louis area, particularly those of German origin, including the School Sisters of Notre Dame, the Franciscan Sisters of Mary, the Mill Hill Fathers, and the group promoting the canonization of Blessed Francis X. Seelos, C.SS.R., a Bavarian Redemptorist immigrant priest who worked with mid-19th century German immigrants in St. Louis, Baltimore, and New Orleans. (His statue, minted by the Vatican Statuary Foundry, stands on a reconstructed side altar made of the communion rail from the old St. Malachys Church in the Mill Creek Valley (now demolished), once used by the later-dated, now-closed St. Timothy Parish in Affton, MO. A copy of Bl. Seelos bronze death mask, one of five in the world, is also on permanent display).</p><br>
<p>The Hungarian Roman Catholic faith community also honors the famed Joseph Cardinal Mindszenty of Hungary with a carved white marble plaque in the sanctuary, noting his visit to this church in the 1970s. The late Cardinal-Archbishop of Budapest-Esztergom participated in a special Mass, seminar and dinner at the visit sponsored by the parish and the Cardinal Mindszenty Foundation of the USA Mindszenty is regarded as a great hero to the Hungarian people around the world for his resistance to atheistic Communism and totalitarianism in the 1950s, as well as to those of other nations. The Hungarian Ladies Society of the church has also embroidered most of the decorative altar linens used on its many altars and shrines throughout the liturgical year.</p><br>
<p>Two noted historically recent popes are also commemorated, featuring their stenciled coat of arms on the ornate painted ceiling of Old St. Mary&#39;s.</p><br>
<p>Pope John Paul II has his blue-and-gold coat of arms over the church crossing (featuring the old papal tiara, or three-tiered crown), while Pope Benedict XVI (formerly Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger), has his papal coat-of-arms displayed over the choir loft featuring the more-updated mitre in place of the tiara. (As the first German-background church in the Archdiocese, it was the only parish with Pope Benedict XVI&#39;s coat-of-arms on public display in the fabric of the church building).</p><br>
<h2>Historic connections</h2><br>
<p>It was in St. Mary of Victories that the Blessed Francis Xavier Seelos, C.Ss.R., made his Missouri preaching debut. Together with his Redemptorist companions, Fathers Schneider, Jacob and Gulielm, Seelos preached a parish mission in German from the first to fifteenth of October 1865. The side altar in the south middle portion of the nave of the church honors his role in the historic parish&#39;s development.</p><br>
<p>In 1872, five women came to St. Louis from Germany, under the leadership of Mother Mary Odilia Berger, having been unable to live out their lives of religious dedication and service due to the policies of the German government known as the Kulturkampf. They found lodging in an attic in the church complex, having the same door to their residence as to the church. They organized themselves in 1874 as a religious congregation under the name of the Franciscan Sisters of St. Mary, taking their name from the church. The healing and therapeutic ministry of their Order continues in today&#39;s SSM HEALTH CARE SYSTEMS, a St. Louis-based hospital/nursing organization which operates hospitals and medical care facilities throughout the Midwest and the Mid-South. A bronze plaque mounted on the back wall to the left of the entrance honors the American foundation of the Sisters of St. Mary.</p><br>

<p>The Shoshone people were the predominant native people in this area. The first non-native people to arrive were fur trappers and traders who came in the 1820s. Two historic trails pass near here along the South Fork of the Madison River, the Bannock Trail which follows the trail system of the native people, and the Nez Perce National Historic Trail, which Chief Joseph led his Nez Perce tribe along during the 1877 Nez Perce War.</p><br>
<p>The cabin was built pursuant to the Term Occupancy Act of 1915, which allowed private recreational residences to be built on United States Forest Service land from 1915–-1932. It was originally built by a group of fishermen from Salt Lake City who came to the region every year to fish the South Fork of the Madison River. They originally traveled by train and then by covered wagon over the Continental Divide. John Horlick was a member of this fishing group and the original owner of the cabin, which was then located within the Madison National Forest. The Madison National Forest became part of the Hebgen Lake Ranger District of the Gallatin National Forest in 1931. The cabin is the earliest permitted cabin within this tract.</p><br>
<p>Running water was added about 1939. Additions over the years to all three structures have retained their original character and appearance. A significant change to the site was caused by the 1959 Hebgen Lake earthquake when Hebgen Lake receded by 22 ft, raising the south shore and lowering the north shore, leaving a wide gravel beach along the lakefront of the cabins on the southern side of the lake.</p><br>
<p>Beginning in 2006, the Forest Service&#39;s Northern Region began encouraging qualifying buildings to be nominated for listing as National Registered Historic Place.</p><br>

<p>In 1881, the Fair Floral Exhibition Hall was built, west of the football field at the top of the hill. The building is unique because of its octagon walls. It is the only remaining fair building and not open to the public.</p><br>
<p>In September 1885, the Kansas State Fair was held at Peabody during the first four days of the month. An outstanding feature of the state fair was "the First Monument to General Grant", who died shortly before the fair. The temporary monument was an obelisk about 40 ft tall, and built from forty bushels of ears of corn. The fair had a grandstand, which could hold 2000 people, to view horse races. The race track was used for a variety of events, including horse walking teams in harness, trotting, running, pacing, mule racing, and daily chariot races. A dining hall was built that was capable of feeding 10,000 people each day.</p><br>
<p>Peabody was the home of famous race horses around the turn of the century. Three of the more famous horses were world champions. Joe Young (known as the "iron horse") sold for $10,000 by C.E. Westbrook, the first horse west of the Mississippi River to sell for such a high price. Joe Young sired Joe Patchen in 1889, who earned his owner $40,000 in race purses and then was sold for $44,000. Joe Patchen sired Dan Patch in 1896, a horse that sold in 1907 for $60,000. Other famous local racing horses included trotters McKinney, and Silver Sign. Silverthorne toured Austria where he competed for three years against the best race horses in Europe.</p><br>
<p>In 1900, the Marion County Agricultural Society sold the fair grounds to the city of Peabody, which renamed it the Peabody City Park.</p><br>
<p>In 1938, the Works Progress Administration (WPA) built the football stadium limestone bleachers, west and north walls, picnic tables, fire pits, and various items in the park.</p><br>
<p>In 1950 through 1960, the high school boys baseball (Class B) state tournaments were held at the baseball diamond.</p><br>
<p>In 1960s and 1970s, up to 30,000 or more people attended the Independence Day Celebration on July 4 at the park, including a Carnival of rides.</p><br>
<p>In November 1977, the high school boys football (Class 2A) state final was held at the park. Beloit took 1st place and Peabody took 2nd Place. It is also notable because the Peabody head coach was Dennis Franchione.</p><br>
<p>In July 2011, will mark the 90th year of fireworks at the park. The fireworks are infamous for the ending display named Battle of New Orleans, which explodes over 1 Million individual items.</p><br>
