<p>Augustana Lutheran Church is an Evangelical Lutheran Church in America congregation located in Sioux City, Iowa, United States. The church building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2006 as Swedish Evangelical Lutheran Augustana Church.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The first service for the congregation was held in May 1875. They initially met in a rented schoolhouse located at the corner of Third and Virginia Streets. Pastor P.A. Pihlgren and 17 men and women made up the congregation. They met in the rented building until the end of the year when the first church building for the congregation was completed. The Gothic Revival structure was built of wood at the corner of Fifth and Virginia Streets for $1,400. As the congregation continued to grow plans for the present church were begun in March 1887.</p><br>
<p>The congregation bought two lots on the corner of Sixth and Court Streets for $7,500. The new church was designed in the Gothic Revival style by Sioux City architect Charles P. Brown. Construction was begun in 1889 and was completed early the following year for $35,000. It was dedicated on February 16, 1890. The building was constructed in brick and the three spires were originally covered in decorative wood shingles. The church was incorporated in 1909 as the Swedish Evangelical Lutheran Augustana Church.</p><br>
<p>Initially a pipe organ filled the apse in the chancel. In 1919 the organ was placed in the back of the church and the “Altar of Peace” was built in the apse. The Gothic styled altar was carved by a German Prisoners of War from World War I. A new pulpit and communion rail were installed at the same time. The focal point of the altar was a painting of the Resurrection. The painting was replaced by a statue of Christ in 1970. The congregation has had four pipe organs in its history. The first was the Moline Organ that placed in the first church in 1882 and was used until 1887 when the Schuelke organ was installed. It was used in the present church until the Bennett organ was installed as a part of the 1919 renovation. The present Moeller organ was installed in 1958.</p><br>
<p>By 1955, the exterior brick started to crumble due to water seepage. The congregation decided to stay in the old church. It was re-clad in new brick by Sioux City Brick and Tile Company, which did the original work in 1890. In 1959 the church corporation expired per Iowa law, and it was re-incorporated as Augustana Lutheran Church. The two-story brick education building was added to the back of the church in 1977. The church remains significant as Sioux City&#39;s last religious structure and congregation Swedish heritage and for its continuous association with its Swedish heritage.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The brick Gothic Revival structure features three towers on its main facade. The tall central bell tower rises to a height of 115 ft, and flanking corner towers are 106 ft in height. After the 1955 re-cladding of the exterior the main facade was greatly simplified with the removal of texture, patterning, and the four short pinnacles on the corners of all three towers. The limestone trim was also replaced at that time. A name and date stone is located above the central entryway. The changes gave the exterior a more mid-century interpretation of the Gothic style, whether that was its intention or not. The nave is five bays in length. Each bay is divided with a brick buttress and includes a large pointed-arch window. The steep gabled roof features louvered dormers. A squared apse extends from the back and surrounded by the education building. The education building itself is a Modern Movement style building whose brick matches that of the church.</p><br>
<p>The Joys was a steamboat that sank in Lake Michigan off the coast of Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin, United States. In 2007 the shipwreck site was added to the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Joys was built in Milwaukee, Wisconsin in 1884. She would go on to haul cargo through the Sturgeon Bay Ship Canal from Menominee, Michigan to the ports of Milwaukee, Chicago, Illinois, Manistee, Michigan and Michigan City, Indiana.</p><br>
<p>On December 23, 1898, the Joys was at anchor in the Sturgeon Bay Ship Canal. At about 1:00 a.m., the captain saw flames from the wheelhouse and sounded the alarm. The crew was able to escape, but in the ensuing chaos the ship was carried in the current toward the canal office and government warehouse. Eventually, efforts from those on land were successful in towing the vessel away from land, where it then burned to the waterline and sank.</p><br>

<p>The Louisiana was a steamboat that sank in Lake Michigan off the coast of Washington, Door County, Wisconsin, United States, during the Great Lakes Storm of 1913. In 1992 the shipwreck site was added to the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Louisiana was constructed in Marine City, Michigan in 1887, while her engine was built at the Dry Dock Complex in Detroit, Michigan.</p><br>
<p>On November 2, 1913, the Louisiana departed from Lorain, Ohio to deliver a load of coal to Milwaukee, Wisconsin. After completing her stop in Milwaukee, the Louisiana made way for Escanaba, Michigan to pick up a load of iron ore. In the early morning hours of November 8, the ship passed through Porte des Morts. Upon reaching the strait, she was greeted by a severe snowstorm. The captain attempted to take refuge at Washington Island in Door County, Wisconsin, but the heavy seas and howling wind proved too strong for the ship&#39;s anchors to hold her in place, and she was run aground.</p><br>
<p>Despite the situation on board the Louisiana, the crew opted to remain aboard the vessel rather than taking the one small lifeboat they had out to the raging seas. However, a fire broke out in the cargo hold later in the morning and the crew members were left with no choice. A rescue ship had been deployed from Plum Island, but the breaking waves were too powerful for the ship to be able to reach the crew. In the end, the crew was able to make it to shore.</p><br>
<p>The ship&#39;s boiler, engine, propeller, propeller shaft and rudder were later salvaged. Currently, the site is a popular area for divers and archaeologists. It lies in 10 to 25 ft of water on the southeast side of Washington Harbor.</p><br>

<p>The Meridian was a schooner that sank in Lake Michigan off Sister Bay, Wisconsin, south of the Sister Islands. In 1996, the shipwreck site was added to the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Meridian was built in Ohio in 1848. In 1849, it was reported by the Milwaukee Sentinel that the ship&#39;s second mate, James Bain, was killed aboard the vessel in an ensuing fight after he had attacked the captain and thrown the first mate overboard.</p><br>
<p>In October 1873, the Meridian left Milwaukee, Wisconsin and was bound for Oconto, Wisconsin. She was carrying no cargo at the time and it is presumed that it was intended for her to pick up lumber in Oconto. Along the way, the ship hit a violent storm that drove her off course. The vessel suffered extensive damage and eventually sank. Multiple attempts were made to recover the Meridian, but were unsuccessful.</p><br>
<p>In 1991, the Maritime Preservation and Archaeology Program of the Wisconsin Historical Society began surveying the site. The remnants of the Meridian are owned by the State of Wisconsin and the site is managed by the Wisconsin Historical Society and the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources.</p><br>

<p>The Redstone Inn is located on Redstone Boulevard in Redstone, Colorado, United States. It is a structure in the Tudor Revival architectural styles built at the beginning of the 20th century. In 1980 it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It is also a contributing property to the Redstone Historic District listed on the register nine years later.</p><br>
<p>When it was built, it served as a dormitory for unmarried male workers, primarily miners, at the Colorado Fuel & Iron (CF&I) company&#39;s coal mines and coking ovens nearby. It was part of the company town, with modest cottages for the miners and their families as well as a school, recreation center, firehouse and other public buildings, that CF&I president John Cleveland Osgood, had spent lavishly to create along with his nearby estate. The mines were closed in 1908, and the village nearly abandoned, the dormitory among them. Most of its original buildings were demolished or moved, but the dormitory survived, and was restored and converted to its current use in mid-century.</p><br>
<h2>Buildings and grounds</h2><br>
<p>The 22 acre inn complex is located at the junction of Redstone and Firehouse Road just opposite the bridge over the Crystal River from State Highway 133, the main entrance to Redstone for visitors and passing traffic, just opposite the old coke ovens. It is at the southern end of the central portion of Redstone. To the north are the small surviving wood frame cottages along the two streets. Redstone Boulevard continues south, unpaved, along the east bank of the Crystal for over a mile, to Osgood Castle. On the east and west mountain slopes rise ultimately to summits above 12,000 ft; the land is mostly part of White River National Forest and additionally in the Maroon Bells–Snowmass Wilderness on the east.</p><br>
<p>A C-shaped driveway provides access to the front of the similarly shaped main inn building from Firehouse. It is a two-and-half–story wood-frame building on a sandstone foundation sided in stucco and wood shingle, with half-timber on the clipped gable ends. The roof is pierced by gabled dormer windows, their fronts sloped backward suggesting a pyramid, on the inside of the C&#39;s arms, and shed dormers in the middle section. A sandstone chimney rises from the east arm, and where it and the middle intersect is a clock tower that rises an additional story. Several small gabled extensions project to the south behind it, and another chimney rises above them.</p><br>
<p>On the front facade, both stories have a similar treatment, with a wooden balustrade running continuously around, allowing access to the rooms. The veranda on the second floor is supported by square full-height wooden pillars. Windows on the exposed gable ends are diamond-paned, complementing the half-timbering. The upper section of the clock tower flares outward slightly, and it is topped by a pyramidal roof with overhanging eaves pierced by small centrally-located gables on each side. Inside there are 35 guest rooms of varying sizes, a restaurant, kitchen and bar, and offices. The older guest rooms have original Arts and Crafts furniture, some from designs by Gustav Stickley.</p><br>
<p>To the rear is a swimming pool surrounded by a large concrete deck. A pool house is to the south, and tennis courts are on the east. At the southeast, on the riverbank, is a small chalet with two rooms.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In the 1880s, John Cleveland Osgood, a Brooklyn native who had worked his way west, did surveys for the state of Colorado and found many areas with quality coal. He went into the business of mining and processing it, becoming head of the merged Colorado Fuel and Iron (CF&I) company in 1892. Through it, Osgood controlled over half the state&#39;s coal, and became one of the wealthiest men in the country.</p><br>
<p>He had for many years had his eye on the coal found in the upper Crystal valley, which he had found would yield high-quality coke, useful in the manufacture of steel. Longstanding plans to develop mines in the area had to wait due to the Panic of 1893 and the economic uncertainty it created. Only just before the turn of the century were banks again willing to finance a large-scale venture.</p><br>
<p>A large part of the venture was the construction of a planned company town at Redstone, where the coke ovens were. Most miners just built crude shacks or log cabins for themselves and, if they had come along, their families, out of whatever was available. It was often unsightly, and its poor quality became an issue in labor disputes. Osgood wanted to change that.</p><br>
<p>By the end of 1899, 249 ovens, the largest coking facility in the state, had been built by contractors from Denver. They were operated by a work force that accounted for 10% of all Colorado&#39;s workers at the time. Coking workers were predominantly immigrants from Eastern Europe whom the company had recruited from the East. The miners, by contrast, were usually longtime Colorado residents who had worked in mines elsewhere.</p><br>
<p>Starting the next year, Osgood built Redstone, a project that ultimately cost $5 million ($ in modern dollars). Architect Theodore Boal designed cottages in styles that worked well with the mountain setting, particularly the Swiss Chalet style as advocated a half-century before by Andrew Jackson Downing in his seminal work The Architecture of Country Houses. Larger cottages with electricity and running water were built for the more senior miners and managers, and Osgood&#39;s estate south of town was the largest.</p><br>
<p>For the unmarried workers there was a 40-room dormitory at the south end of the first section of town built, just across the river from the ovens. It was described as being in the "old English style", what has since been called Tudor Revival, with half-timbering on a stucco face. The clock tower was copied from a similar one at an inn in Rotterdam, Netherlands. Inside, amenities for the residents included a barbershop, telephones and reading room as well as the electricity and water.</p><br>
<p>Such luxuries, unheard of even for management in most mountain mining camps, earned Redstone the nickname of "Ruby of the Rockies". "Could any coal camp ask more?" wrote The New York Times on a 1902 visit, marveling that the miners changed out of their dirty work clothes for dinner. At their club elsewhere in the village, the newspaper reported, compromises minimized the negative effects of drinking and gambling, two longstanding sources of social problems in remote mining communities, without the difficulties created by the attempt to enforce total bans on them. The miners were allowed to purchase alcoholic beverages only for personal consumption, thus preventing the public drunkenness that often ensued when groups of drinkers treated each other to rounds. Penny-ante poker was the only game of chance permitted. That same year, the village won an award at the St. Louis Exposition.</p><br>
<p>Due to financial problems resulting from labor stoppages at its other facilities in Colorado, Osgood lost control of CF&I to representatives of the Rockefeller and Gould families in 1903. He was less able to control the direction of Redstone, and although he started the competing Victor-American Fuel Company he spent more time back East. The mining and coking continued until 1909, when it became unprofitable to ship coal and coke from the mines to the companys new steel mill in Pueblo. Redstones inhabitants left very quickly, with barely a dozen remaining to keep it from becoming a ghost town. The dormitory was abandoned and fell into neglect.</p><br>
<p>Over the next several decades, many of the Redstone buildings were moved or demolished. Osgood returned in his dying years, hoping to re-open his estate as a resort, but the Depression prevented that from happening. In the early 1940s many of the other larger buildings of Redstone, such as its school, firehouse and its two lodges, were dismantled for scrap metal needed to fight World War II.</p><br>
<p>After the war, coal mining and coking returned to Redstone, on a smaller scale, in the early 1950s. The dormitory was restored and reopened as an inn. Some new rooms, referred to as the terrace rooms, were added.</p><br>
<h2>Rates and services</h2><br>
<p>The inn is open year-round. Room rates vary from $99 for a vintage style room to over $200 for a suite, rates that compare favorably with those charged by lodging in the nearby Aspen area. The small single room in the clock tower may be rented for $85. Pets are allowed to stay in the terrace rooms for an additional $20 per pet per night, and may be left alone in the room; however the hotel&#39;s housekeeping staff will not enter a room with a dog alone.</p><br>
<p>Rooms are equipped with flat-screen TVs and most have DVD players. All rooms have satellite TV. The inn has wireless Internet available throughout the hotel, complemented by a business center located on the main floor in the library. Irons and ironing boards are available on request. There is no elevator.</p><br>
<p>A free continental breakfast is offered mornings in the winter and early spring. The inn&#39;s bar and grill serves lunch daily, both inside and at poolside (in the summer months). The Dining Room is available Friday and Saturday nights in the winter months and nightly in the summer months.</p><br>
<p>The inn offers other tourism services offsite. It coordinates tours of the Redstone Castle.</p><br>
<h2>Reviews</h2><br>
<p>In addition to the location, travel writers staying at the Redstone have complimented its period furniture and interior decoration, calling it "striking." "I love old Arts and Crafts-style lodges in remote locations", says Nicholas Trotter in Colorado & The Rockies For Dummies, "and the Redstone Inn may be my favorite anywhere." "The rooms are by no means opulent, if opulence is what youre looking for," agrees Evelyn Spence in the Explorers Club guide Colorado&#39;s Classic Mountain Towns: A Great Destination, "but the Stickley–Roycroft period furniture, antiques and outdated wallpaper seem to go together swimmingly."</p><br>
<p>The Patsy Cline Historic House at 608 S. Kent St., in a working-class neighborhood of Winchester, Virginia was the home from 1948 to 1953 of Virginia Patterson Hensley, who later became the country music star known as Patsy Cline. She moved out of the house when she got married at the age of 21 to Gerald Cline, but returned intermittently afterwards.</p><br>
<p>The house was placed on both the Virginia Landmarks Register and the National Register of Historic Places in 2005, and a Virginia State Historical Marker was placed there about the same time.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Patsys mother, Hilda Hensley, moved into the small house with her three children after separating from her husband and worked as a seamstress. At first she rented the house, but later bought it. In order to help support the family, Patsy left school at age 16 working as a waitress, soda jerk and in similar jobs and later began singing. She first sang on Joltin Jim McCoys Sunday morning show on radio station WINC in Winchester. Her mother sewed her first stage costumes in the house. Gospel singer Wally Fowler, who led the Oak Ridge Quartet, was impressed by her singing, and came to the house in an attempt to start Patsys professional singing career.</p><br>
<p>The house is a simple two-story, three-bay building with a front porch and a tin roof and about 1,000 ft&sup2; of space. The sole bedroom is on the second story and all four members of Patsy&#39;s family slept there. The house is a log cabin built in the mid-19th century. Almost all the logs are covered by walls, however, except for a small area covered by Plexiglas by the front door.</p><br>
<p>Charlie Dick, who was Patsy&#39;s second husband and had lived in Winchester, remarked in the early 2000s that the house and the neighborhood had not changed since Patsy lived there. The house is now owned by a non-profit organization, Celebrating Patsy Cline, Inc., which spent about $100,000 to renovate it into a museum. The renovations included adding central heating and air conditioning. The museum opened in 2011.</p><br>
<p>Patsy Cline is buried a few miles south of the house in Shenandoah Memorial Park.</p><br>

<p>The Sylvan Theater Historic District, also known as Greenwood Park Outdoor Theater, is located in Des Moines, Iowa, United States. It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1995.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Outdoor locations for pageants and festivals grew in popularity on college campuses in the United States during the 1910s and 1920s. An outdoor amphitheater was also built in Forest Park in St. Louis, Missouri during this same time. The plan for a sylvan theater in Des Moines was derived from plans prepared by city planners from St. Louis: Harland Bartholomew Associates. They created a comprehensive plan for the city&#39;s park system in 1927. The Des Moines Garden Club had C.A Baughman from the same firm draw up detailed plans for Greenwood Park. Included in the new land uses for the park were the plans for a sylvan theater on the eastern edge of the park. It was modeled after the theater in Forest Park.</p><br>
<p>There was a natural bowl where the outdoor theater would be located along 45th Street. The seats for the audience faced west, the stage was located near the foot of a swale and a hill with trees would provide a natural backdrop. Des Moines landscape architect Francis Asbury Robinson finalized the details and the theater was constructed in 1931. The master plan was to be carried out in two phases. The first phase called for seating to be constructed in the "lower portion" near the stage. An "upper portion" for seating would be built in stage two and has never been built. A reflecting pool was built between the seating area and the stage. A dressing room was constructed to the southwest of the stage. Initially, the seating was composed of wood benches with backs. They were replaced in 1934 with benches made of wood slats with a back that were mounted in wrought iron frames. The new benches were bolted to concrete blocks set in the ground. Funds for the new benches were provided by the Works Progress Administration. There was also a small frame structure in the back of the seating area that was used as a projection booth for films. It was not part of the original designs for the theater and it was last known to exists in 1955.</p><br>
<p>The first production in the theater was called Nights of Romance and it was held on June 26, 1931. It ran for three nights. The first community sing took place in July 1931 with an audience of 1,000 people. It was directed by Assistant County Attorney Ray Harrison. Such productions, which were free, were popular during the Great Depression. The Community Drama Association managed the theater for several years. The Des Moines Civic Opera Association presented the operetta The Flower of Venice in 1937. It attracted an audience of 8,000 people. There was a decline in productions during World War II. The years after the war saw the movement from the city to the suburbs and the rise of television as a form of entertainment. In the 1980s drug dealers and other elements became a problem; however a variety of events were still held at the theater. Several productions titled Shakespeare on the Loose were held in the 1980s. The first three rows of seating were removed in 1989 because the reflecting pool silted in and the elevation of the land around it was raised. The Iowa Shakespeare Project was established in 1993 and has used the theater for their productions.</p><br>
<h2>Contributing Elements</h2><br>
<p>The Sylvan Theater Historic District is composed of three contributing elements. The first element is the natural amphitheater area, which is considered a site. The theater is a natural land element formed by the slopes of a hill on either side of a creek. It is surrounded by mature oak trees that predate the theater.</p><br>
<p>The second element is the theater proper, which includes the stage, seating, spectator circulation network, lighting, and entrance steps. It is considered a structure. The stage is made of poured concrete. It measures 30 ft deep and 60 ft across the back. The front of the stage is rounded and measures 101 ft. The seating is in four wedge shaped areas that fan out before the stage. The front of each wedge is 30 ft in the front, 45 ft in the back and 70 ft along the sides. The spectator circulation network is composed of a series of aisles that flank the four seating sections. They facilitate the movement of the patrons. The central aisle leads from the entrance on 45th Street to the front of the theater. There are two side aisles that flank the central aisle. The central aisle is about 10 ft wide and the side aisles are about 5 ft wide. The aisles are composed of earth and grass. The theater is lit by flood lights on two poles. The original outlets on the stage were silted in. The entrance steps are on 45th Street and lead down to the seating area. The eleven steps are 6 ft across and have simple iron pipe handrails. Francis Asbury Robinson&#39;s master plan was also followed to a large extent with shrubbery.</p><br>
<p>The third element is the dressing room, which is a building. It is about 30 ft behind the stage. The one room, frame building was constructed on a slab that measures 16 ft by 20 ft. There is a concrete gutter on the ground that surrounds the building and directs rain water down the hill. A concrete path leads from the dressing room to the stage. It is hidden from the audience by shrubbery.</p><br>
<p>Fort Worth Public Market is a historic farmers&#39; market and retail building located in Fort Worth, Texas. The building was designed by B. Gaylord Noftsger, a native of Oklahoma City. Developer John J. Harden, also from Oklahoma, spent $150,000 on the building, which opened to the public on June 20, 1930. The building is noted for its terracotta tile and multi-colored tile roof. The main tower is decorated with terracotta columns and pilasters. The building housed various businesses such as grocers, bakers and butchers. At its peak, the Public Market had space for 145 farmer and vendor stalls and 30 permanent retail shops.</p><br>
<p>The building was purchased in 1944 by R.C. Bowen of Bowen Properties; in 2010 a fire destroyed a shed behind the main building. In 2012 the building was purchased by oil and gas mogul Bob Simpson, who sold the building to MC Estates in 2014. It was named a Texas Historical Landmark in 1980 and added to the National Register of Historic Places on July 5, 1984.</p><br>
<p>Edward Davies House is a historic home located at Caernarvon Township in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. It was built about 1805, and is a -story, T-shaped stone dwelling with a gable roof in the Federal style. It has three sections: the two bay eastern section that was originally Davies shop; the three bay western section that was originally his dwelling; and the rear "Old Kitchen" section.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991.</p><br>
<p>The Brady Anderson and Waldemar Ager House is a historic house located at 514 West Madison Street in Eau Claire, Wisconsin. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2000. Additionally, it has been designated a Literary Landmark by the National Association of Friends of Public Libraries.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The house was built from 1892 to 1894 by craftsman Brady Anderson. It was purchased by Norwegian newspaperman and author Waldemar Ager in 1903. The Ager family owned the house until 1962, when it was bought by the local hospital. In 1993, when the hospital need the land to expand its complex, the house was donated to the Waldemar Ager Foundation. Originally located on Chestnut Street, the house was then moved to its current location. Afterwards, the house was restored to its appearance during the 1900s. The second floor has since been converted into a resource library.</p><br>
<p>Fort Logan and Blockhouse is a site on the National Register of Historic Places located near White Sulphur Springs, Montana. It was added to the Register on October 6, 1970. The blockhouse is all that remains of the fort structures. It was restored in 1924, then moved from its original location to the center of the parade grounds in 1962.</p><br>
<p>The fort was originally named Camp Baker for Major Eugene M. Baker, and established on 1 November 1869 on the bank of Smith River ten miles north of the current location. Its purpose was to protect the Benton freight route as well as local miners and settlers. It was moved in March 1870 to its current location. Camp Baker was renamed Fort Logan in 1877 for Captain Logan, who fell at the Battle of the Big Hole. The fort was terminated 27 October 1880 and the property auctioned 4 June 1881.</p><br>
<p>Judge William Gaddis, post trader and postmaster since 1873, purchased the fort and surrounding land in 1881 which he made into a large and prosperous cattle ranch. He continued as postmaster nearly until his death. Josephine Rader became the postmaster in 1907, moving the post office to her ranch, one mile west. In 1918 she sold the ranch to James Doggett. He and his wife Lugene Doggett served as post master until Lugene retired in 1929, and the post office was discontinued. The community maintained the Fort Logan name long after.</p><br>
<p>Parberry Block East is a site on the National Register of Historic Places located in White Sulphur Springs, Montana. It was built in 1891. It was added to the Register on April 22, 2009.</p><br>
<p>It was deemed significant "for its strong association with the commercial history of White Sulphur Springs during the late nineteenth and early-to-middle twentieth centuries" and also as "a fine example of Western Commercial architecture with Late Victorian Romanesque Revival style details."</p><br>
<p>The Byron R. Sherman House, also known as The Castle or The Castle of White Sulphur Springs, is a site on the National Register of Historic Places located in White Sulphur Springs, Montana, United States. It was added to the Register on September 15, 1977. The property includes a carriage house.</p><br>
<p>The Castle Museum is operated by the Meagher County Historical Society. It includes period furniture, photos, mineral samples, clothing and artifacts from the region&#39;s past.</p><br>
<p>It is a two-story granite mansion upon an elevated basement on a hilltop overlooking the City of White Sulphur Springs. According to its NRHP nomination, "with its heavily rusticated stone (the back, or east facade is laid up in field stone), is a very fine frontier rendition of the late 19th century Romanesque Style." It is squarish, about 40x40 ft in plan, with addition of two full height towers on the south side.</p><br>
<p>The Union League of America Hall is a site on the National Register of Historic Places located in White Sulphur Springs, Montana. It was added to the Register on August 20, 1998.</p><br>
<p>In 1998 it was the First Presbyterian Church. It has also been known as Diamond Lodge No. 5 of the Independent Order of Good Templars and as The First Church of White Sulphur Springs.</p><br>
<p>It was built in 1867 by a Union League and is a 24x74 ft building, on a concrete basement made in 1935. It is "simple in form and with minimal adornment&quot it "is a vernacular version of the Greek Revival Style. The front-gabled form, pedimented door and windows, and six-over-six sash provide links to the style. Additionally, the raised elevation of the front</p><br>
<p>imparts a subtle sense of monumentality to the building."</p><br>
<p>The Wellman Block is a site on the National Register of Historic Places located in White Sulphur Springs, Montana. It was added to the Register on March 7, 1994.</p><br>
<p>It was built c.1880 and was renovated in 1911, perhaps after fire damage. It is a two part commercial building with red brick laid in common bond.</p><br>
<p>Its 1993 NRHP nomination describes it as "a highly preserved example of popular Western Commercial design, which was common in Montana through the territorial and early statehood years. Embodying several elements of this style, the Wellman Block presents the characteristic brick front to the street while masking a simpler gable roofed mass behind. The symmetrical storefront with recessed entrance, regularly placed double hung windows across the second story and decorative parapet are all common to this treatment."</p><br>
<p>The Roundup Central School is a historic school located at 600 1st Street West in Roundup, Montana. The west wing of the school was completed in 1911, while the east wing was completed in 1913. The school was the third building used as a public school in the city; however, it was the first school of considerable size, as the earlier schools had held two and four rooms respectively. The large sandstone building was one of many civic improvements completed in Roundup in the late 1900s and early 1910s, and it served as both a symbol of the citys growth and a sign of its commitment to becoming an established city and regional center. As the regions economy declined due to drought conditions in the late 1910s and 1920s, Roundup&#39;s population remained stable due to its status as a regional service center, a role which partly stemmed from the school. As a wave of consolidation closed many nearby schools in the following decades, Roundup both stayed open and absorbed many other districts; it became the largest school district in Musselshell County and cemented its status by absorbing the Klein school district, then the second-largest in the county, in 1959.</p><br>
<p>The school was added to the National Register of Historic Places on December 6, 2007. It is still used as a school and is one of only two elementary schools in the county.</p><br>
<p>St. Benedicts Catholic School is a historic school building located at 524 1st Street West in Roundup, Montana. The school was built in 1920-21 to serve the children of Roundups Catholic immigrant community. Coal production, an oil boom, and homesteading all drove economic and population growth in Roundup during the 1910s, and many of the citys new residents were European immigrants. The citys newly established Catholic community built the school toward the end of Roundups building boom. Architect John H. Grant, who served as the citys only resident architect, designed the two-story brick building. Various groups of nuns served as the school&#39;s teachers, with different orders replacing the previous one every few years; when a new order could not be found to replace a departing order in 1950, the school closed for good.</p><br>
<p>The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on July 21, 1988. It is currently being used as the Musselshell Valley Historical Museum.</p><br>
<p>The Winnett School is a site on the National Register of Historic Places located in Winnett, Montana. It was added to the Register on April 6, 1995. The property is no longer in use and may have been replaced by a new building on the same lot.</p><br>
<p>It was built in two phases in 1919 and 1921. It was designed by architect Otto Wasmansdorff of Lewistown, Montana and built by Sullivan Construction of Roundup, Montana.</p><br>
<p>First Methodist Episcopal Church is a Neogothic Revival-styled church built in 1911 in Eau Claire, Wisconsin. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1999 for its architectural significance.</p><br>
<p>The congregation that became First Methodist Episcopal began meeting in 1857, praying in the home of D.S. Hastings. Between 1863 and 1868, they built a wooden church on S. Barstow, and it served them until it burned in 1909. After the fire they met for two years in the Masonic Temple, until their new church (the subject of this article) was complete in 1911.</p><br>
<p>The 1911 building was designed by William Linley Alban and James E. Fisher of St. Paul and built by Samuel Converse and Company for $30,000, seating 650. The floor-plan is cross-gabled with a 3-story square tower in the corner. A foundation of rock-faced limestone supports walls of smooth-cut limestone blocks. Angle buttresses reinforce the corners, and the walls of the gable ends extend as parapets above the roof. One gable peak is topped with a cross. Features that mark the Neo-Gothic Revival style are the Gothic transoms over the doors, the steeply-pitched roofs, and the irregular massing. Inside, some things have been changed, but the original pneumatic pipe organ built by W.W. Kimball and Company of Chicago still sits at the front of the sanctuary.</p><br>
<p>In 1930, First Methodist Episcopal merged with Lake Street Episcopal Church and moved to the larger building on Lake Street. The building was bought by Immanuel Lutheran, a Swedish Evangelical Lutheran congregation which had been founded in 1883. By 1930 they had outgrown their building on Oxford Ave. and Fulton Street, so bought First Episcopal&#39;s building. Immanuel stayed from 1931 to 1981, then sold it to the Unitarian Fellowship.</p><br>
<p>Schofield Hall is the main administrative building of the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire. It houses a variety of different administrative offices, including the university&#39;s admissions office. It is located on Garfield Avenue, directly across from the UW-Eau Claire footbridge that links the Water Street side of campus to lower campus. The building is named after Harvey Schofield, the first President of what was then called Eau Claire State Normal School. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places for its educational significance in 1983.</p><br>

<p>The Sandy Historic District is a Historic District in Sandy, Utah, United States, that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places  and covers most of the city&#39;s pre-suburbanization extent.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The district is essentially the area east of South State Street (US-89), west of South 700 East (SR-71) north of East 9000 South (SR-209), and south of Pioneer Avenue (8530 South; near the northern boundary of the city of Sandy). About half of the NRHP in Salt Lake County (outside of Salt Lake City) are in Sandy, and the large majority of those are within the Historic District.</p><br>
<p>The district included 51 properties which were already listed in the National Register, plus 266 more contributing buildings, and 223 non-contributing buildings. The district includes the NRHP-listed Jensen-Clark House, at 42 East Main Street.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Sandy was initially an agricultural settlement, but then became dominated by mining and smelting for a short time. When major smelting operations moved north to Murray and Midvale, the town was free from development pressures until suburbanization reached the area in the 1970s, by which time developers had almost totally lost interest in infill development; the Historic District thus has experienced very little large-scale redevelopment for a long time (though many individual houses have been added or rebuilt).</p><br>
<p>A smelter (now represented only by a historic monument) previously operated just south of the historic district, near State Street. A large cemetery is east of that, next to 700 East. A museum of Sandys history occupies a small building just south of Sandys Main Street, facing the rail main line now used by TRAX. The Salt Lake and Alta Railroad previously split from that main line just north of the district before curving through the northern parts of the district on its way to Granite and Alta.</p><br>
<h2>Transportation</h2><br>
<p>The street grid in the area has much smaller blocks than those in other parts of the county that followed Salt Lake Citys layout decisions. Sandy also has its own Main Street (at East 8720 South in the countys now-unified addressing system) that runs east to west rather than north to south like the county&#39;s most prominent Main Street. The street runs from a few blocks west of South State Street to the steps of Sandy Elementary School, which is within the historic district, and passes in front of various historic buildings.</p><br>
<p>As was once very common in early Great Basin settlements, irrigation water flows in street-side gutters in some places. The East Jordan Canal, a much larger canal carrying water from the Jordan River north toward Salt Lake City, also passes through the center of the district.</p><br>
<p>The district is served by Utah Transit Authoritys TRAX light rail systems Blue Line at Historic Sandy station south of Main Street and a few blocks east of State Street.</p><br>
<p>The Calumet is a historic commercial building located at Buffalo in Erie County, New York. It was designed in 1906, and is a three-story steel framed building covered in decorative architectural terra cotta. The distinctive glazed white and burnt sienna terra cotta is detailed with a centrally located reed or running stem and four leaves depicting the Calamus palm.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2010.</p><br>
<p>The Veneman&#39;s Bungalow Court Historic District, also known as Droukas Court, is located in Des Moines, Iowa, United States. It is the only example of a Post World War I “California bungalow court” in the city. The district has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 2000. It is part of The Bungalow and Square House Des Moines Residential Growth And Development, 1900-1942 MPS.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The eleven houses in Droukas Court were built between 1924 and 1926. It is one of three "California bungalow court” developments in Des Moines. The other two examples are the Lincoln Court and Goddard Bungalow Court Historic District. They were both built in 1916. Droukas Court was a late example of a bungalow development and the only post-World War I example. It was successful as a rental complex as it was built near a street car line. Unlike the Godard, Droukas Court was built after the automobile became popular and nearby off-site parking garages were built for the tenants.</p><br>
<p>John B. Veneman acquired the property in two parcels in February 1909 from John H. Cash and W. R. Mathews. The odd numbered bungalows on the southern portion of the district were constructed after the building permits were issued on September 23, 1924 to Ringland Veneman. The even-numbered houses on the north side of the district were built after the building permits were issued on March 19, 1926 to V. V. Veneman. The houses on the south have a more varied porch treatment, which suggests that there was interest in visual variety that faded by the time the houses on the northern were built.</p><br>
<p>The development was initially known as Veneman Court until 1954 when it was sold to Dan and Georgia Droukas and renamed Droukas Court. It has been known by that name ever since. They sold it to Gene Andrews and Jess Comley who in turn sold it to George and Bertha Archer. Renters over the years have been either families or elderly tenants. In more recent years tenants have qualified for low rent housing.</p><br>
<p>The West Ninth Streetcar Line Historic District is located in the north-central section of Des Moines, Iowa, United States. The focus of the district is West Ninth Street from University Avenue on the south to Hickman Road on the north, which had a street car line that ran on it. It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1998. It is part of the Towards a Greater Des Moines MPS.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The period of significance for the West Ninth Streetcar Line Historic District is 1883 to 1936, which was the timeframe that the street served as a streetcar route. It was Des Moines’ most fully developed streetcar corridor in the Victorian era and it remains largely intact. It was in competition with the West Sixth Streetcar Line. It was also developed earlier and ran on narrow gauge tracks. It was unique in Des Moines that more than one line would serve a single neighborhood. In addition, another line served Eleventh and Twelfth Streets. By being served by multiple lines shows the importance of North Des Moines as a Victorian-era suburb. In large part it was responsible for the housing boom in the area in the 1880s and 1890s.</p><br>
<p>The streetcar line was developed by the Des Moines Street Railroad Company as an extension of their downtown loop and was called the “Red Line.” Originally it was a horse-drawn line that was electrified under the direction of Jefferson S. Polk. Eventually, the Red Line was extended to Crocker Woods along the Des Moines River. It also served the east side of Des Moines and extended to the suburb of Capitol Park. The Ninth Street streetcar line ended service when it was replaced by gas-powered buses.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>For the most part the buildings in the West Ninth Streetcar line Historic District are houses and their ancillary buildings, namely garages and stables. There are a total of 145 buildings. Of these 97 buildings are contributing properties. Most of the buildings are single-family houses. Nine of the buildings are multi-family dwellings, which include both double houses and apartment buildings, and 20 are ancillary buildings. The architectural styles employed in the district include the Stick style, Queen Anne, Colonial Revival, American Foursquare and American Craftsman. Two of the houses follow either the Shingle or the Prairie School styles. Most of the houses are built of wood; however, there are six that are masonry buildings.</p><br>
<p>There are also six institutional buildings, which are all non-contributing properties. The district also contains the former campus of Des Moines University, which merged with Highland Park College on the latter&#39;s campus. The property then became the campus of Dowling Catholic High School an institution of the Diocese of Des Moines. After it moved in the 1970s the main building was torn down and the property has been used for a variety of public and semi-public purposes.</p><br>
<p>Saint John Evangelical Lutheran Church is located in New Fane, Wisconsin. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1986. The church is affiliated with the Lutheran Church–Missouri Synod.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The church was built with stone from what would become the Kettle Moraine State Forest. In the 1920s, the church steeple was struck by lightning was replaced with one smaller in height. The church underwent a change of its name in 1965, changing from The German Lutheran Church: St. Johannes to its current name.</p><br>
<p>The Thaddeus Stevens School is a historic African American school building located at 1050 21st Street, N.W., in the West End neighborhood of Washington, D.C. It houses classrooms for the nearby and also as an early childhood center.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>With a 92% increase of freed slaves between 1840 and 1860, a large population of this demographic migrated to wards 1 and 2 of Washington, DC. This is proved by the census data of the wards of Washington, DC from 1860. This influx of freed slaves to the Foggy Bottom neighborhood caused apparent demand for a public school. The Stevens School was erected in 1868 because the city needed a public colored school and the most feasible place to put it was on square 73 which was accessible by both wards 1 and 2. It seemed apt to build a school for freed black in this area, as it was derelict and unsanitary. Within square 73 the school was built on lots 22, 23, and 24. The property that provided the grounds for the Stevens School was initially privately owned by Alfred Jones and his wife in 1868. These lots were bought in 1868 for a combined value of $7,413.14. Once the physical building was built, the final cost was $89,099.17. For the time, this was considered to be inexpensive, both for the land and the development of a public school. In 1932 the American Banking and trust company purchased lot 20. The Stevens School was comparatively smaller than other public, namely white, contemporary institutions such as the Grimke School and Slater School.</p><br>
<p>The Stevens School was under the jurisdiction of the Board of Colored Schools and many of the board members were African American. The D.C Board of Colored Schools was consolidated in 1880 into one Board of Public Schools that had control over both white and black public schools. It was the first government-funded school for African-Americans. Jack Moore of the Associated Press described it as "the cornerstone of D.C.‘s historically African-American West End community".</p><br>
<p>An addition was built in 1885 and it was partially rebuilt and enlarged again in 1895–96. A pioneering school for African-Americans, it was named for Thaddeus Stevens, the Radical Republican abolitionist congressman from Pennsylvania. The Preparatory High School for Negro Youth was housed in the building after it was founded in 1871 and later moved becoming the M Street High School and ultimately Dunbar High School.</p><br>
<p>The school&#39;s enrollment declined due to gentrification in the 1960s as residential areas became offices. An oral history document at Charles Sumner School Museum and Archives stated that Stevens was located in "virtually an asphalt neighborhood" by 1976. In January 1977 President of the United States Jimmy Carter enrolled his daughter Amy Carter at Stevens. Moore stated that this made the school "one of the most famous schools in America seemingly overnight." At the time it had an extended day program which was uncommon for American schools of the era. According to school counselor Jane Jackson Harley the program was a way to attract enrollment so the school could remain open. Moore stated that this program meant that Stevens began to function as "a sort of magnet school for the children of downtown office workers, and it boosted enrollment back into safe territory."</p><br>
<p>The building was listed in the District of Columbia Inventory of Historic Sites in 1972 and then on the National Register of Historic Places in 2001.</p><br>
<p>As of 2001 it was the oldest extant elementary school still being used as a school in the District of Columbia, but soon after was involved in controversy as the district government planned to convert it to residential use.</p><br>
<p>In 2008, students were moved to the Francis Junior High School campus, becoming the Francis-Stevens Education Campus, due to low enrollment. In 2017, the District of Columbia government announced that the Stevens building would re-open as a child development center for infants and toddlers, as well as extra classroom space for Francis-Stevens.</p><br>
<h2>Enrollment</h2><br>
<p>Enrollment for the Stevens School progressed throughout the years, gaining popularity as the population in wards 1 and 2 increased. The enrollment in 1877, according to The First Report of the Board of Trustees of Public Schools of the District of Columbia, was 980 students. There were also 13 teachers, 715 desks, and 14 classrooms. Additionally, this report reveals the fact that the teachers taught at both the grammar and primary levels, which is equivalent to a ‘K-12’ educational structure. Enrollment at the Stevens School grew to as large as 949, just 5 years after its initial opening. The School&#39;s value also depreciated to $29,000. The increased enrollment corresponds to the population trends in 1873 as large numbers of freed slaves migrated to wards 1 and 2 of DC. As mentioned above in Section 2, the school had 980 students by 1877– but only 715 desks. Four years before, in 1873, the building had a mere 14 classrooms. Simply put there were approximately 70 students per classroom and a desk shortage of 265.</p><br>
<h2>Stevens School fire</h2><br>
<p>On January 11, 1876, a fire occurred at the Stevens School that started in an upstairs classroom used by the 4th primary school. As news of the fire quickly spread, children began to panic and storm down the stairs to get out. There were no casualties but there were a few children that sustained minor injuries from being trampled by other students during the commotion. Two small boys jumped from a third floor window but thankfully they were caught by spectators in the crowd. Teachers were praised as heroes for the calm and safe manner in which they got the children out of the building. An investigation was later conducted after the incident and the fire was said to be caused by a buildup of waste that was swept into the radiating surface. The rails of the staircase were also damaged due to the pressure that the children exerted on it during the commotion. Total damages weren&#39;t expected to exceed $150 or $200 and the damages were covered by insurance.</p><br>
<h2>Early physical condition (1870s)</h2><br>
<p>The school property contained 16,481 feet; the building was built out of brick and was four stories in height. The buildings held a large assembly hall and 12 school rooms, each room was thirty-eight feet long, twenty-three feet wide, and twelve feet high. The rooms were used for about 750 sittings for the students. Two additions were made to the building in 1873. After the first addition, the school was able to house 14 class rooms and after the second addition five more rooms were added. The physical condition of the building was in shambles, as Superintendent Cook&#39;s Report from 1874 to 1875 points out the Stevens School sanitary condition was, “unsatisfactory and in violation of the laws of health, and if not remedied is likely to result in such diseases of diphtheria, typhoid fever, scarlet fever, and such other fevers as result from want of proper ventilation and sewerage”. Referring to Figure 13, it can be seen that the value of the building dropped to $29,000, which is much less than it cost to produce it at $89,099.17. As all of these documents would suggest, the Stevens School was a poor school in a poor neighborhood riddled with danger and disease.</p><br>
<h2>Importance</h2><br>
<p>As one of DC&#39;s landmarks as deemed by the National Park Services, the Stevens School is still in its original location on Square 73. As the NPS Statement of Significance says, the Stevens School "is associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of our history," there is no doubt that this building played an important role in developing Foggy Bottom. Its role of bringing public colored education to an unskilled and overpopulated community provided the inhabitants with opportunity and hope for the American Dream.</p><br>

It begins with a corbeled brick stretcher course above which are two recessed brick panels. Above the panels is a projecting metal cornice with garlands across the frieze. Above this, a short brick parapet rises to a secondary brick cornice which echoes the lines of the lower metalwork.</p><br>
<p>Sleeping Buffalo Rock is a site on the National Register of Historic Places located near Saco, Montana. It was added to the Register in 1996.</p><br>
<p>The placard reads:</p><br>
<p>A nearby wind-swept ridge overlooking the Cree Crossing on the Milk River was the original resting place of this ancient weather-worn effigy. There the boulder sat as the leader of a herd of reclining buffalo envisioned in an outcrop of granite. Incised markings made in the distant past define its horns, eyes, backbone, and ribs. Since late prehistoric times, native peoples of the Northern Plains have revered the Sleeping Buffalo&#39;s spiritual power. Oral traditions reveal that it was well known to the Cree, Chippewa, Sioux, Assiniboine, and Gros Ventre as well as the more distant Blackfeet, Crow, and Northern Cheyenne. Stories passed from generation to generation tell how the "herd" fooled more than one buffalo-hunting party. While each tribe has its own culture and beliefs, native peoples share a worldview intertwining the sacred and secular. A Chippewa-Cree elder explained, "These rocks are sacred, just like our old people." In 1932, the Sleeping Buffalo was separated from its ridgetop companions. Relocated to the City Park in Malta, the Sleeping Buffalo was said to have been restless; stories are told of its changing position and nighttime bellowing. Moved to this site in 1967 from old Highway 2, the Sleeping Buffalo was later rejoined by the larger "Medicine Rock" in 1987, also collected near Cree Crossing. These timeless objects continue to figure prominently in traditional ceremonies. They provide a link to ancestral peoples of the high plains and the long ago time when, as one elder put it, "The power of the prairie was the buffalo."</p><br>
