<p>The Drake University Campus Historic District is located in Des Moines, Iowa, United States. The historic district contains six buildings. Five of the buildings are collegiate buildings on the Drake University campus and one is a church. The period of significance is from when the university was founded in 1881 to the end of the presidency of Hill M. Bell in 1918. The historic district has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1988. It is part of the Drake University and Related Properties in Des Moines, Iowa, 1881—1918 MPS.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The historic district comprises six buildings on the southeast corner of the Drake University campus. Five of the buildings belong to the university and other is a church complex. The importance of the district lies in the development of Drake University by the Disciples of Christ and the role the school and the church played in the development of this part of Des Moines. The academic buildings also relate to the role of General Francis Marion Drake, who founded the school and was its major benefactor in its early years, and the progressive period of the school&#39;s early president Hill M. Bell.</p><br>
<p>Drake University was established in 1881 and is the oldest institution of higher education in the city. Initially the Disciples of Christ held their services on the Drake campus. University Place Christian Chapel was organized in 1888 with 382 charter members. In 1977, Central Christian and University Christian Churches merged to form at this site. Old Main was the first building constructed in brick on the Drake campus. The other campus buildings in the historic district were built in the first decade of the 20th century. The present church building was constructed at the same time, and the adjoining education building was added in 1926. Drake University is no longer affiliated with the Disciples of Christ.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>Old Main, designed by C.B. Lakin, is the oldest building on the campus. Built from 1882-1883, it is a rectangular shaped, three-story brick Victorian building. The main façade features five gables, corbelled chimneys and a central bell tower. The bricks between the windows are set at an angle. Stone courses serve as lintels and sills. The windows in the center of the building are decorated with stone panels on top. In 1900 the auditorium was added to the back of the structure and a new main entrance was added to the front.</p><br>
<p>Howard Hall was built in 1903 and the east wing was built five years later. A planned west wing was never built. The brick structure was built over a raised basement and features brick quoins, round- arch windows, continuous stone sills and lintels, shallow hipped roof and a small parapet. A large colored glass window contained music motifs, which relate to the buildings use by the Drake University Conservatory of Music. The building was designed by the architectural firm of Smith & Gage.</p><br>
<p>Cole Hall was built to house the law school and law library in 1904. Also designed by Smith & Gage it is a two-story red brick structure with dark grey brick base and concrete trim. The center bay is slightly recessed. Like the other buildings, it features classical detail, brick quoining semi-circular pediment, and continuous sills.</p><br>
<p>Memorial Hall was built for the Disciples of Christ Bible College in 1905. The three-story brick structure was built on a dark red-brown basement. The entryways slightly project forward. Unifying elements within the district include the rusticated brick for the high basement, continuous sills and lintels, concrete molding, concrete round-arched entries on the west and north, and classical detail. Smith & Gage was the architect.</p><br>
<p>Carnegie Library built from 1907-08 represents the shift from a sectarian school, its progressive educational policies and its need for funding at a national level. It was designed by the Des Moines architectural firm of Proudfoot & Bird. The brickwork in the building is multi-colored: pinkish-tan pilasters, panels between windows in gold and the base in dark red-brown brick. Like the other buildings, it features the restrained use classical motifs and a continuous sill. The building has a simple cornice with dentils across the top.</p><br>
<p>University Christian Church or "" as it now named, was built in 1908 and the adjacent Education Building was built in 1926. The Education Building replaced the original 1890 University Place Christian Chapel. Proudfoot & Bird designed the church building and Burdette Higgins designed the Education Building. The church building, which has a seating capacity of 3,000 people, is similar to the later academic buildings in the Drake Historic District. The brick patterns on the exterior, however, are more elaborate. The two-story round arch entryways are not original to the building. The Education Building is a five-story tan brick structure with a corner bell tower. The exterior features Corinthian pilasters and arcades on the second floor and on the bell tower. Brick detailing includes both corbelling and dentils. The interior includes forty classrooms, gymnasium, church offices, chapel and fellowship hall. The second-floor chapel is a memorial to World War II dead.</p><br>

<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Chickasaw settled on Choctaw lands in the Indian Territory following the Trail of Tears. The Nation became independent in 1856 when a treaty was signed in Washington giving the Chickasaw Nation full ownership of 4,707,903 acres of land and the right of independent government. The Chickasaw modeled their government after the United States, moving from a tribal council to a three-branch system consisting of legislative, executive and judicial branches. It created its first constitution in 1848, and elected officers in 1857. Tishomingo became the Nation&#39;s capital at this time, having received its name from the Chickasaw warrior of the same name, Chief Tishomingo, who had died en route to Oklahoma.</p><br>
<h2>The Council House</h2><br>
<p>The Council House is a 14 by 24 foot log building that was originally located at Good Spring on Pennington Creek. In the 1930s, the Council House was placed on the west side of the Capitol building, and in the 1960s it was restored and covered by a tile block building that became the Museum.</p><br>
<h2>Capitol building</h2><br>
<p>The red granite building was the third Capitol building for the Chickasaw Nation. It was preceded by an 1853 one-room log Council House and 1858 brick building that was destroyed by fire. The building was constructed in 1898 at a cost of $15,000 in the Victorian Gothic styles, utilizing granite from the nearby, then tribally-owned quarry. It served as the seat of the Nation&#39;s tribal government until Oklahoma statehood.</p><br>
<p>It consists of three stories, an arched doorway on the south side, and a dome on top. In 1908, the building was sold to Johnston County for $7,500 for use as the county courthouse. In 1989, the Chickasaw Nation repurchased the Capitol from Johnston County, and today the first two floors house exhibits that preserve the history of this early period of Chickasaw tribal government.</p><br>
<p>The Capitol building is featured in a 1998 painting by Chickasaw artist Tom Phillips.</p><br>

<p>The Wood Lawn Farm, also known as Goodell Ranch, is a site on the National Register of Historic Places 5 miles west of Hobson on Utica Road 239. It was added to the Register on January 27, 1993. The listing included eight contributing buildings on 160 acre.</p><br>
<p>Its NRHP nomination describes its importance:</p><br>
<p>... this important historic property symbolizes the transformation of the Judith Basin from open-range prairie lands to farm and ranch lands. The experience of local pioneers, Clarence and Parmelia Goodell, further adds to understanding the settlement and agricultural development of the Basin. Their acquisition of a preemption and a tree claim in 1880 patterns the general trend of homesteaders in the Basin, for a majority of the settlers obtained land from the federal government in this way. Mr. and Mrs. Goodell began to farm and ranch this area as one of the first homesteading families in the Judith Basin. In addition, Wood Lawn Farm is important... for its architecture. Reflecting a transition away from the primitive log cabin architecture which characterized much residential building on the central Montana ranching frontier, the Goodells built a modern, Queen Anne/Colonial Revival style wood frame house by the beginning of 1890, reflecting a genuine confidence in the Judith Basin and its sustaining capacity. For its associations with local builder Richmond Jellison, the property gains significance. Jellison was responsible for the construction of several vernacular buildings in Philbrook and the outlying rural district, and his sense of design informed the character of this early community.</p><br>
<p>The Big Arm School is a site on the National Register of Historic Places located northwest of Polson, Montana. It was added to the Register on August 16, 2007.</p><br>

The church was built in 1911, a year after Chester was incorporated, in response to public demand for a permanent, dedicated church building. While Chesters Episcopal Methodist congregation officially owned the building, it was also used by Chesters various other Christian denominations until they were able to build their own churches. The church has a vernacular design typical of rural Montana churches of the period and is representative of the many church buildings built in the early twentieth century during an important era of homesteading and settlement in the state. The Methodist congregation left the church for a new building in 1968.</p><br>
<p>The old church became the Liberty County Museum two years later, a museum of local history.</p><br>
<p>The church was added to the National Register of Historic Places on August 29, 1997.</p><br>
<p>The First State Bank of Chester is a historic bank building located at the intersection of Washington Avenue and 1st Street East in Chester, Montana.

The Williston Construction Company built the red brick building, which was described as the most architecturally exquisite building in the town upon its completion. The architect was R. T. Frost, leading architect of Minot, North Dakota. Available land and steady rainfall made the areas newly settled farmers prosperous, and they used the bank to both hold their earnings and take out loans for new equipment. Droughts in the lat 1910s reversed the fortunes of many of these farmers, however, and like many others across the state the bank closed in 1920. Since then, the building has been used for a variety of commercial and residential purposes; it also housed Chesters hospital from the 1920s through the 1940s.</p><br>
<p>The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on August 29, 1997.</p><br>
<p>The Agricultural Engineering Building is a historic 1907 building in Madison, Wisconsin which houses the Biological Systems Engineering Department  of the University of Wisconsin–Madison. Over the years the building hosted important investigations into soil erosion, improvements on the first forage harvester, and Aldo Leopold&#39;s new Department of Wildlife Management, among other milestones. In 1985 the building was added to the National Register of Historic Places, and is now part of the Henry Mall Historic District.</p><br>
<p>The UWs College of Agriculture was founded in 1889, focusing in its first decades on research and sharing practical applications of that research with the states farmers. The college pioneered the twelve-week Short Course in Agriculture and the Dairy Course, and various buildings were constructed before this one, including King Hall, the Dairy Barn, and Agriculture Hall.</p><br>
<p>The Department of Agricultural Engineering was established in 1904 to design "farm apparatus... developed from ongoing research conducted by the College of Agriculture." The new departments building was completed in 1907, designed by Arthur Peabody, the UWs new supervising architect. Peabody was a native son of Wisconsin, born in Eau Claire, who would go on over the next thirty years to design many of the UW&#39;s structures including the Stock Pavilion, the Field House at Camp Randall, and Memorial Union.</p><br>
<p>Peabody designed Agricultural Engineering a 2-story structure 45 by 150 feet, topped with a red-tiled hip roof. The style is Georgian Revival, with brick walls with quoins on the corners, first floor windows decorated with keystones, and a modillioned cornice. Entrances are through centered bays beneath large fanlight windows framed by pediments with cornice returns. Peabody designed the exterior to harmonize with the nearby Agricultural Journalism and Biochemistry buildings. Inside, the first floor initially housed labs, shops, offices, and lecture rooms. The upper floor was an open room where machinery was displayed.</p><br>
<p>Important events occurred in the Agricultural Engineering building. In 1907, the American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers (ASABE, formerly ASAE) was founded in the building. Edward Richard Jones, the first head of the department, investigated soil erosion in the building, leading to ways to reduce erosion. Floyd Waldo Duffee, the second head of the department, explored rural electrification with his Ripon Experimental Electrical Line, which reached six farms. He also designed improvements on the first forage harvester and co-designed a hot-air seed corn dryer with A.H. Wright of the Agronomy department. The Dept. of Ag Engineering also developed ventilated storage buildings, large capacity trench silos, and in 1943 started the first farm safety program in the US. In 1933 Aldo Leopold&#39;s new Department of Wildlife Management was created and for its first two years was housed in the building.</p><br>
<p>The building has changed little over the years. In 1985 it was placed on the NRHP for statewide significance in the field of engineering and for local significance in the field of architecture.</p><br>
<p>The Robert M. Bashford House is an Italian Villa style house built around 1858 in Madison, Wisconsin, United States in which the governor of Wisconsin and the mayor of Madison lived. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Bashford house was built around 1858, probably by local entrepreneur Napoleon Bonaparte Van Slyke, The 3-story tower, the low-pitched roof, the frieze boards, and the round-arched windows in the gable end are typical of Italian Villa style. The style would typically include brackets under the eaves, but this design omits that element. The walls are clad in local sandstone.</p><br>
<p>Banker H.K. Lawrence was first to live in the house. He was followed by Governor Edward Salomon in the 1860s. Morris E. and Anna Fuller lived in the house from 1865 to 1889. Morris ran an agricultural implement dealership and bought supplies for Camp Randall during the Civil War. Robert McKee Bashford married the Fullers&#39; daughter Sarah in 1889 and lived in the house until 1911. Bashford published the Madison Democrat newspaper, served as city attorney, mayor of Madison, state senator, and state supreme court justice. Dr. Corydon and Bessie Dwight owned the house from 1916 to 1928. Dwight was involved in the development of Vilas Park Zoo. In the 1930s the inside of the house was divided into boarding house rooms.</p><br>
<p>In 1972, the house was designated a landmark by the Madison Landmarks Commission. The building now serves as an apartment.</p><br>
<p>The Ant Flat Ranger Station is a site on the National Register of Historic Places located 2 miles south of Fortine, Montana in Kootenai National Forest. It was added to the Register on December 30, 1996.</p><br>

<p>The Eureka Community Hall is a site on the National Register of Historic Places located in Eureka, Montana. It was added to the Register on October 18, 1985.</p><br>
<p>It is a one-story log structure built in 1942 with support of the Works Project Administration.</p><br>
<p>Its 1983 NRHP nomination asserts:The Eureka Community hall is of exceptional local historical and architectural significance because it is the primary building in this remote, northwestern Montana community that represents the conscious decision of the community to build a structure that serves both its social needs and as an expression of the citizens cultural values. This finely detailed, Rustic Style, log building stands in a commanding position on a hill overlooking the commercial district of the small northwestern Montana town of Eureka. It is the most substantial and well crafted building in Eureka and is a major visual component of this communitys identity.</p><br>
<p>The Farmers and Merchants State Bank is a bank building in Eureka, Montana. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places August 31, 1995.</p><br>
<p>It was deemed "an excellent and well preserved example of Western Commercial styling, representative of many such small town banks which proliferated throughout Montana during the early 20th century."</p><br>
<p>It was built with bricks manufactured two miles south of Eureka, from local clay. The building cost $12,000 and was built by Blake and Son of Kalispell, Montana.</p><br>
<p>Heavy investment by the bank in agricultural irrigation, plus the closure of the Eureka Lumber Mill in 1923, led in the bank&#39;s failure in 1925.</p><br>

<p>The James B. Bowen House  is an early Italianate-styled house clad in cut sandstone, built in 1855 on what was then a farm on the outskirts of Madison, Wisconsin. In 1982 it was added to the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>As early Madison grew, the Greenbush Addition was platted in 1854. Just to the west of that addition lay the 60-acre farm of pioneer farmer and real estate investor Seth Van Bergen and his wife Harriet. They built this house in 1855 as the centerpiece of their farm, now a block west of Meriter Hospital.</p><br>
<p>The Van Bergens farmed until 1859, growing mostly oats and wheat on their 60 acres. Then they sold the house to James Barton Bowen of Connecticut, Dane County&#39;s first homeopathic physician. Bowen was elected mayor of Madison in 1871 and was involved in other business ventures, including presiding over the Park Savings Bank.</p><br>
<p>After Bowen died in 1881, his daughter and her husband Wayne Ramsay inherited the house. They replaced the original veranda with a wraparound porch in the 1890s, which was later reduced to todays porch on the east side. They split the 60-acre farm into residential lots and sold them off around the turn of the century. Their son James took over in 1914 and lived there until 1923. After that fraternities lived in the house in 1925 and 1927, it was an orphans home in 1929, and then was split into apartments by 1935.</p><br>
<p>In 1972, the house was designated a landmark by the Madison Landmarks Commission. In 1982 it was listed on the NRHP. Today the Barton house is one of Madison&#39;s oldest surviving sandstone houses - "a prime example of well executed masonry construction that flourished in Madison during the 1850s and 1860s."</p><br>
<p>Coldbrook Farm is a historic home and farm located at Chambersburg in Franklin County, Pennsylvania. The property has a large stone house, a frame bank barn, and a stone spring house. All were built about 1800. The house consists of a two-story, five-bay, central section in the Georgian style, flanked by two-story, three-bay recessed wings. Colonial Revival-style modifications, such as roof dormers and colonnade were added in the late-19th century.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1996.</p><br>
<p>The Troy Jail is a historic jail building listed on the National Register of Historic Places in Troy, Montana. It was added to the Register on December 27, 2006.</p><br>
<p>The current jail was built in 1924 by local builder D.E Crissey for $1,760.00. This fire-resistant, reinforced concrete twenty-by-forty-foot jail replaced the original wood-framed jail which at only ten-by-ten-foot had only enough room for a single cell.</p><br>
<p>The Gladstone Hotel is a two-story, wood-framed hotel located at 101 Main Street in Circle, Montana, United States. The hotel was built in 1915 and inaugurated at a Christmas party on December 25 of the same year. The town of Circle had been platted the previous year after the Great Northern Railway planned its route through the area; while the hotel was supposed to provide lodging for the visitors and new settlers brought to Circle by the railroad, the railroad was not completed through Circle until 1929. Nevertheless, the hotel served as temporary lodging for new settlers in McCone County and functioned as a community meeting place, including a local bar that lasted until Prohibition. An addition was placed on the hotel in 1948 to accommodate new residents during a local oil boom.</p><br>
<p>The hotel was added to the National Register of Historic Places on August 28, 1980.</p><br>
<p>On September 21, 2023, the historic and beloved hotel, and arguably the last piece of standing original history in Circle, Montana, burned down. As of now the cause is unknown but speculated that it was started from the inside.</p><br>
<p>The Chase Grain Elevator is a grain elevator located in Sun Prairie, Wisconsin. It was built in 1922 and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2010. It is the last known tile elevator remaining in Wisconsin.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Chase Grain Elevator was constructed in 1922 on the site of a previous Chase & Sons elevator that burned down in the winter of 1921–22. The fireproof tile elevator was planned to have a capacity of 13,500 bushels. In March 1922, it was expected to cost $20,000 ( today).</p><br>
<p>The elevator is said to illustrate experimental construction techniques during the transition from between wood and concrete elevators. Tile elevator construction ended around 1925.</p><br>
<p>The elevator consists of two cylindrical grain bins, with a third "pocket" bin created from a semi-circle of tile linking the two main bins.</p><br>
<p>The William Collins House is a Prairie style home built about 1911 above Lake Mendota, a half mile north of the capitol in Madison, Wisconsin. In 1974 it was added to the National Register of Historic Places as a locally significant fine example of Claude and Starck&#39;s residential work in the Prairie style.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In the early 1900s as the logging boom in Wisconsin was winding down, William Collins and his brother Cornelius ran a business manufacturing and wholesaling wood products - Collins Bros.</p><br>
<p>In 1908 Cornelius and his wife Anna had the local architectural firm of Louis Claude and Edward Starck design them a home overlooking Lake Mendota, which still stands at 646 E. Gorham,</p><br>
<p>across Blount Street from the house that is the subject of this article. Cornelius&#39; house is 2.5-stories, with brick walls and a steeply pitched roof typical of Tudor Revival style. But it also sports a band of six windows across the front, characteristic of Prairie Style.</p><br>
<p>Three years later, brother William and his wife Dora had the same firm design for them the large home pictured. Where Corneliuss house had been more vertical and British, mixing some Prairie Style elements with Tudor Revival forms, Williams house was more relaxed, pushing Prairie style in the direction of a bungalow and a Swiss chalet. Elements of Prairie style are the broad eaves, the horizontal emphasis in the front, and the small bands of windows. The false half-timbering in the dormer end is a Tudor element. The gable-roofed dormer and the balconies recall a chalet. Walls are dark brick. The roof was probably first covered with wood shingles or tile. A balcony hangs on each end of the house, with the one to the southwest supported by decorative brackets along the lines of those Louis Sullivan designed for the Harold Bradley house a few years before. Inside is oak woodwork and windows with leaded glass borders, typical of Prairie Style.</p><br>
<p>After the two brothers split their lumber business into two, Cornelius daughter Irene and her husband Robert Connor worked in Cornelius C.C. Collins Lumber Co. In 1920 they built a home next to Cornelius&#39; house, at 640 E. Gorham. It is also dark brick, but in the Colonial Revival style that became more popular as Prairie Style faded. This pattern of a family building homes close together was more common in the past, when travel was more difficult and fewer existing homes were available to buy.</p><br>
<p>William&#39;s house was later used by the City of Madison as the offices for the Parks Department. Since 2013, the house has been operated by Bob Klebba and David Waugh as the Mendota Lake House B&B.</p><br>
<p>When William&#39;s house was added to the NRHP in 1974, architect Gordon Orr stated its significance thus:</p><br>
<p>The William Collins house is a fine example of Claude and Starck&#39;s residential work in the Prairie style and possess architectural merit at a local level. Many of the homes designed by this firm still exist, and this building so well shows their full grasp of the compact-cubical form executed in the Chicago area by George W. Maher.... Yet, this building has features strongly its own.</p><br>
<p>The John and Nell Commons House is a large hilltop bungalow built in 1913 in Madison, Wisconsin, from which UW professor John R. Commons wrote influential books on economics, helped craft Progressive public policy, and mentored a generation of economists. The house itself was designed by Cora Tuttle - not a formally trained architect, but the first woman to practice architecture in Madison. In 1985 the house was added to the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>John R. Commons was born in 1863 in Hollansburg, Ohio. Richard T. Ely brought him to the UW in 1904 to teach and to edit the 11-volume Documentary History of American Industrial Society. "He was among the first economists to move away from the traditional laissez-faire economic thinking; and he pioneered in the progressive era concept that government should assume a positive role in furthering the cause of reform..."</p><br>
<p>This was the era of Progressive social legislation, in which Wisconsin under Governor LaFollette was a leader. John Commons contributed to that legislation, helping draft the 1905 Wisconsin Civil Service Law, which specified uniform civil service exams; the 1907 Public Utilities Law; the 1911 Industrial Commission Law which effected changes in worker safety, child labor, minimum wages, and labor disputes; and the 1924 Unemployment Insurance Plan for the Chicago clothing market. During the Great Depression, Commons grad students helped plan and administer New Deal legislation like the Social Security Act. Commons is one of several people credited with originating the "Wisconsin Idea," in which university faculty serve as advisors to state government. At one point a representative of business called Dr. Commons "the most dangerous man in Wisconsin," but Commons himself later observed, "Yet what I was always trying to do in my academic way, was to save Wisconsin and the nation from politics, socialism, or anarchism, in dealing with the momentous conflict of capital and labor.&#39;"</p><br>
<p>In 1909 and 1910 John and his wife Ella bought about seven acres of farmland on a hilltop west of Madison. They had Cora Tuttle design a large bungalow for the hilltop.</p><br>
<p>The designer Cora Tuttle had been born in 1864 in Evansville, Wisconsin. Widowed in 1906, she moved with her sons to Prescott, Arizona. There in the southwest she was exposed to the bungalow, a then-modern and convenient style of house that had developed in California. The bungalow didn&#39;t reach Madison until Cora and her family returned with the idea in 1908. Cora had not formally studied architecture, but she had absorbed the ideas, and she designed a bungalow for her family, with help from her son Ray, then an engineering student at the UW. Their house was built in 1909, and still stands at 1206 Grant Street. She went on to design other bungalows around Madison. Though unlicensed and not formally trained in architecture, Cora Tuttle is the first woman known to practice architectural design in Wisconsin.</p><br>
<p>The house is two stories tall, wood-framed, clad in stucco on the first story and wood shingles on the second. The roof is low-pitched, with exposed rafter tails showing Craftsman influence. Vergeboards decorate the gable ends and the ends of the joists that support the second story floor protrude from the wall as decoration. A balcony opens from the second-story bedroom on the southeast end. A porch spans the northeast side, with the wall on that side pierced by pentagonal window openings. Inside, the first story contains the living-dining room, the kitchen, two hallways, a coatroom, and the study where John wrote, with oak shelves and brick fireplace. The second story contains four bedrooms, two linen closets, and a full bathroom. The couple named the house Hocheera, the Ho-Chunk word for welcome.</p><br>
<p>Professor Commons mentored many talented economics graduate students, including labor historian Selig Perlman, Edwin E. Witte who is sometimes called "the father of USA Social Security," Arthur J. Altmeyer, Paul Raushenbush, Elizabeth Brandeis Raushenbush, and Wayne Morse. John and his wife Ella invited students out to the house on Friday nights for meetings that Selig Perlman described: There are hundreds of Commons students, including some most prominent in the academic life and in the public services of this country, who largely owe their careers to the untiring and tender encouragement by Professor and Mrs. Commons. At the Commons weekly Friday Nights at their home on Mendota Beach, students, frequently numbering as many as sixty, had the opportunity of meeting some of the most prominent economists and public men of the world and to present before the group their own observation in the field. To the Commons Friday Nights many a public man looks back today as the informal and friendly Parliament that heard his maiden speech&#39;.</p><br>
<p>Commons was considered by some the brain trust of Wisconsin&#39;s progressive movement, but he worked with other prominent men beyond Wisconsin, "including Samuel Gompers of the American Federation of Labor; John A. Mitchell of the Mine Workers; Ralph Easley of the National Civic Federation; Eugene V. Debs, Social Democratic candidate for USA president; Victor Berger, founder of the Social Democratic Party; Charles R. Crane, millionaire ambassador to China; and Henry Ford, Thomas Edison and President Wilson."</p><br>
<p>John Commons lived and worked in this house until 1937, when he moved to Florida. Subsequent owners have included Frederick and Margret Burkhardt, John and Martha Lippitt, and now Richard and Doris Dubielzig. The original seven acres has been parceled out into lots so that Hocheera now stands in a residential neighborhood. and was added to the NRHP in 1985, mainly for its association with the nationally prominent economist.</p><br>
<p>The Curtis–Kittleson House  is a Queen Anne-style mansion built in 1901 for William Dexter Curtis, a prominent businessman and mayor of Madison whose fortune started with horse collars and saddlery. The house was later the home of Isaac Milo Kittleson, another mayor of Madison. In 1980 the house was added to the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In 1870 Dexter Curtis, the father of the man who built this house, patented a method of enclosing small sheets of zinc in leather horse collar pads to reduce the sores on horses&#39; necks. With this innovation, he started the Dexter Curtis Company to sell saddlery equipment. His company was so successful that it had factories overseas in England and France along with Madison and Michigan, and he made a fortune.</p><br>
<p>The elder Curtiss son William Dexter Curtis was managing his fathers saddlery business when old Curtis died in 1898. At times William also served as chairman of the board of Union Trust Co., as vice-president of the 1st National Bank, and as v.p. and financial manager of the L.L. Olds Seed Co.</p><br>
<p>They hired the Madison architects J.O. Gordon and F.W. Paunack, who designed a large brick 2.5-story home in the then-popular Queen Anne style. Typical elements of that style are the corner tower, the asymmetric wraparound porch, the corbelled chimneys, and the variety of surface textures. The pediment and columns of the porch, and the Palladian windows in the gable ends are drawn from the Classical Revival style that was becoming popular in 1901.</p><br>
<p>William was elected mayor of Madison in 1904. While mayor, he helped induce the Chicago and North Western Railway to build new passenger and freight stations in Madison. He also encouraged expansion of Madison&#39;s park and drive system. He served only one term as mayor, and died in 1935.</p><br>
<p>Isaac Kittleson bought the house from the Curtises in 1949. Kittleson had grown up on a farm in Green County, graduated from the UW Law School in 1902, and became secretary and director of the Savings and Loan Trust Co. In 1906 he married Ida Johnson of Mt. Horeb. She served as treasurer of the Public Welfare Association, the YWCA, and as President of the Dane County Humane Society. Isaac served as a city alderman and three terms as mayor beginning in 1920. They were well-established community leaders by the time they bought the house in 1949.</p><br>
<p>Rev. Richard Larson of Bethel Lutheran Church and his wife owned the house after the Kittlesons. Now it is Thoreau House, a group home. It is located within the Orton Park Historic District.</p><br>
<p>The Judson C. Cutter House is a Stick style house built in 1882 in Madison, Wisconsin. In 1978 it was added to the National Register of Historic Places, then recognized as the best remaining example of Stick style in the city.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Stick-style architecture was popular in various parts of the USA from 1860 to 1890. The style is transitional between the Gothic Revival architecture that was declining in the USA by the 1870s and the Queen Anne style that was the rage from 1880 to 1910. Stick style was popular in the northeast from the 1860s to 1870s, then faded there. It peaked in California in the 1880s. Stick houses were built in the Midwest, but never many. In Madison, only a few examples remain.</p><br>
<p>This Stick-style house stands -stories tall, with fairly steep roof planes and tall windows. This emphasis on the vertical comes from Gothic Revival, as do the lancet-topped panes in the window in the stairwell. The board and batten in the gable ends also harks back to Carpenter Gothic. The bargeboards on the gable ends could fit on either a Gothic or Queen Anne house. The wooden crosspieces in the gable peaks, the wooden brackets supporting the eaves, and the raised boards separating areas of clapboard are hallmarks of Stick style - wooden decoration somewhat related to useful structure beneath. The main block of the house also includes some shed-roofed window hoods and a two-story bay. At the southwest corner is a more Eastlake-styled porch, supported by turned posts and decorated with spindle work.</p><br>
<p>The house was commissioned by Judson C. Cutter, who listed himself as "capitalist" in the Madison city directories. He probably never lived there, but instead leased it to various tenants until 1890, when one of the tenants bought it.</p><br>
<p>In 1976, the house was designated a landmark by the Madison Landmarks Commission. In 1978 it was added to the NRHP as a surprisingly intact example of Stick style. The nomination notes that the Judson house "displays more design similarities to the Stick Style as it appeared in seaside cottages in the East and in pattern books than any other house in Madison."</p><br>
<p>The Onon B. and Betsy Dahle House a Greek Revival-styled house built in 1864 in the community of Daleyville, Wisconsin in the town of Perry, Wisconsin. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2008.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Onon Bjornson Dahle was born in 1823 in Upper Telemark, Norway. After attending normal school in Hvideseid and teaching for six years, he emigrated to America in 1848. He taught school in Norwegian around Christiana for a winter, worked the harvest, and cut cordwood near St. Louis with his brother. In 1850 the brothers and three Scandinavian partners headed west across the plains with three yoke of oxen for the gold fields of California, a trip which Onon later described as "hungry horrors." Eventually they had some success mining gold and returned to the Midwest in 1851.</p><br>
<p>In 1853, Onon and his freshly-immigrated brother Tarjie settled in the new Norwegian settlement in Perry. Onon bought forty acres on a ridge with good access to the Military Ridge Road - not the best farmland, but a good site for a trading center and town. He built a store and log cabin there, and set up a private service to bring the mail in seven miles from the post office at Blue Mounds once a week. He prospered, and married Betsy Nelson in 1854. In the same year, Onon was elected the first town clerk, town treasurer, justice of the peace, and superintendent of schools for the newly formed Town of Perry. About the same time Onon was involved in organizing the Norwegian Evangelical Lutheran congregation at Perry.</p><br>
<p>In 1863 Onon built the house that is the subject of this article, with a T-shaped floor plan. The front of the house is the top of the T, a two-story main block with walls of coursed ashlar limestone blocks fixed with raised mortar joints. Windows are symmetric around the centered front door. At the top of the wall is a broad frieze board, and above that a hip roof. The overall style is Greek Revival, except for fine double brackets under the eaves, which are drawn from Italianate style. Behind the main block the stem of the T is a 1.5-story wing. On each side the roof extends to shelter a veranda. Inside, the house has varnished narrow-board floors and plaster walls and ceilings.</p><br>
<p>Behind the house is a one-story bank barn which Dahle had built around 1870, with walls of vertical board and batten.</p><br>
<p>Dahle lived in the house and ran his store until he retired in 1895. Then he moved to Mt. Horeb, where he and Betsy lived until 1905, when they both died. The community where he started his store and lived for many years is now called Daleyville, in his honor.</p><br>
<p>The Henry L. and Sarah Dahle House and the Herman B. and Anne Marie Dahle House in Mount Horeb also belonged to members of the Dahle family and are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Onon and Betsy&#39;s son, Herman, would become a member of the United States House of Representatives.</p><br>
<p>The Richard T. Ely House is a Georgian Revival-style house built in 1896 in Madison, Wisconsin - designed by Charles Sumner Frost for Richard T. Ely, a prominent economics professor. In 1974 it was added to the National Register of Historic Places. It is located within the University Heights Historic District.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Richard Ely was one of Wisconsin&#39;s most important economics scholars. He was born in 1854 in New York and grew up on a farm there, absorbing Christian values from his devout father.</p><br>
<p>Up to this point, the classical approach to economics had dominated in the USA - the idea that free markets and laissez-faire treatment by government were the best way to promote economic growth. But along with economic growth, these ideas had led to evils like child labor. Ely was one of the early proponents in the USA of a new economics whose goal was not only growth, but also making people&#39;s lives better. He was a founder of the American Economic Association, and advocated public ownership of utilities, factory regulation, child labor laws, shorter workdays, labor unions, and restrictions on immigration. Many of these ideas lined up with Progressive reforms from that era.</p><br>
<p>In 1892 the University of Wisconsin lured Ely from Johns Hopkins to direct its new School of Economics, Political Science, and History. That winter Madison saw labor strikes resulting from attempts to organize unions at two Madison printers. Ely was then a leader of the Christian Social Union, which aimed to apply Christian principles to address social problems. The CSU had a printing job pending at the Tracy-Gibbs Printing Company, the second company to strike, and Ely happened to be in charge of that printing job. He urged the company owner to unionize several times, and hinted that if the company didnt unionize, the CSU might take their business elsewhere. The printer didnt unionize, and the CSU let the job go forward with Tracy-Gibbs. But the following year Wisconsins Superintendent of Public Instruction Oliver Elwin Wells accused Ely of "believ in strikes and boycotts," and of being in "constant consultation" with the union organizer, and of asserting that "where a skilled workman was needed, a dirty, dissipated, unmarried, unreliable, and unskilled man should be employed in preference to an industrious, skillful, trustworthy, non-union man who is the head of family." Wells also condemned Elys writings: "Only the careful student will discover their utopian, impracticable, and pernicious doctrines...." Wells got his accusations printed in national papers and the Regents had to investigate. A trial before the Board of Regents ensued, but Wells couldn&#39;t substantiate his more damning claims. In the end, the Regents exonerated Ely, but beyond that they supported academic freedom in the statement from which "sifting and winnowing" comes:...we could not for a moment think of recommending the dismissal or even the criticism of a teacher even if some of his opinions should, in some quarters, be regarded as visionary. Such a course would be equivalent to saying that no professor should teach anything which is not accepted by everybody as true.... In all lines of academic investigation it is of the utmost importance that the investigator should be absolutely free to follow the indications of truth wherever they may lead. Whatever may be the limitations which trammel inquiry elsewhere, we believe the great state University of Wisconsin should ever encourage that continual and fearless sifting and winnowing by which alone the truth can be found.</p><br>
<p>The Elys had their grand house built a couple years later, in 1896. They commissioned a design by Chicago architect Charles Sumner Frost, who had designed the Old Law Building on Bascom Hill a few years before. Frost designed a textbook Georgian Revival-style house, with a nearly symmetric façade, a hip-and-deck roof, and eaves decorated like a cornice with modillions. The front entrance is surrounded by sidelights and fanlight beneath a portico supported by Ionic columns. A rail surrounds the top of the portico, with a window topped with a broken pediment behind and flanked by pilasters. Atop all this is a centered pediment with a circular window. The first floor windows on the front are also elaborate, topped with broken pediments.</p><br>
<p>In 1906 Ely helped organize the American Association for Labor Legislation, the American Association for Agriculture Legislation in 1917, and the Institute for Research in Land Economics and Public Utilities in 1920. With Ely&#39;s progressive ideals, he was a supporter of Governor Robert M. La Follette, but split with him when La Follette opposed USA involvement in World War I. Anna died in 1923. In 1925 Ely left the UW and the house in Madison, taking a position at Northwestern University.</p><br>
<p>In 1974 Elys house in Madison was added to the NRHP because it may be the citys best example of a Georgian Revival home, and for the house&#39;s association with the important economist. The house was designated a landmark by the Madison Landmarks Commission the same year.</p><br>
<p>The Memorial Fountain and Statue are an historic fountain and statue that are located in Memorial Square in Chambersburg, Franklin County, Pennsylvania.</p><br>
