<p>Daniel Lyons was a schooner that sank in Lake Michigan off the coast of Algoma, 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 ship was built at Oswego, New York in 1873, at a cost of $27,000.</p><br>
<p>On October 17, 1878, the vessel departed from Chicago, Illinois and was bound for Black Rock, New York. In the early morning hours of the next day, the Daniel Lyons spotted the running lights of the Kate Gillett, a schooner that was carrying fence posts from Cedar River, Michigan to Chicago. The Kate Gillett then began moving erratically. When it became apparent that the vessels were about to collide, the Daniel Lyons tried to make a desperate evasive move, but it was unsuccessful. The Kate Gillett struck the Daniel Lyons in the side, pushing her stem nearly halfway through the hull. For around fifteen minutes, the two vessels remained locked together. After crew members from the foundering Daniel Lyons boarded the other ship, they broke apart and the Daniel Lyons sank bow first. Despite also being badly damaged, the Kate Gillett began her journey to Chicago again. Both crews worked at a vigorous pace to keep the ship afloat, and made it to port the next day.</p><br>
<p>The shipwreck site is a popular spot for divers. It has also been used for archaeological purposes.</p><br>

<p>The Melvin W. and Mary Perry House is a historic house located at 519 Third Street in Algoma, Wisconsin. It is historically significant for its association with the life of Melvin W. Perry.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Shingle Style house was built for M. W. Perry, who was Mayor of Algoma and a member of the Wisconsin State Senate. He lived in it from the time of its completion until his death in 1951. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on January 23, 2008.</p><br>
<p>The Jay Norwood and Genevieve Pendleton Darling House is a historic building located in Des Moines, Iowa, United States. The residence was the home of cartoonist Ding Darling, who worked for The Des Moines Register and whose cartoons were syndicated in over 100 newspapers across the country. In the early 1930s, he became involved in the conservation movement, especially wildlife conservation. His advocacy was reflected in his cartoons. Part of his conservation legacy in Iowa is the Cooperative Wildlife Research Unit program that he initiated at Iowa State College and the expansion of the research facilities at Iowa Lakeside Laboratory.</p><br>
<p>The house sits behind Terrace Hill, the residence of Iowas Governors. The Darlings did not build the house, but they did make some changes when they owned it. The original house and the first major addition was the work of two prominent Des Moines architectural firms, Hailett and Rawson and Proudfoot, Rawson & Souers. Darling had architect John W. Brooks design the east wing and main entrance. He also chose the houses dark brown color. The changes Darling made to the house mixed elegance with earthiness and allowed it to blend in with its natural surroundings. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992 as a part of the Conservation Movement in Iowa MPS.</p><br>
<p>The Ayrshire Apartments is a historic building located in Des Moines, Iowa, United States. It was built in 1920 as a fireproof apartment hotel. The three-story building was designed in the Tudor Revival style, represented by the half-timbering on the third floor. All 36 units include a kitchenette, a Murphy bed in the living room, and a built-in clothes closet. The end units on each floor are larger than the interior units and they include a solarium. The building is located on Sixth Avenue, which by the turn of the 20th century had become a major route utilized by vehicular traffic and streetcar lines. Its proximity to this transportation corridor illustrates the emergence of higher and denser residential use in these areas of Des Moines. The apartment building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1996 as a part of the Towards a Greater Des Moines MPS.</p><br>
<p>The Riverside Site, also known as 20-ME-1, is an archaeological site located near the Riverside Cemetery in Menominee, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Riverside site is located on a sandy tract of land near Menominee&#39;s Riverside Cemetery. The area is covered with low hills and ridges, and is primarily sandy with a thin cover of sod. The archaeological site is located on a high sand dune overlooking the Menominee River.</p><br>
<p>The Riverside site consists of what was once a village along with an associated cemetery containing the remains of at least 63 individuals. Human remains were found in both burial and cremation pits. The village sites were mixed in with burial pits, and were often found above older burials.</p><br>
<p>Artifacts found at the Riverside site included a mix of Old Copper and Red Ocher cultures, with some additional Woodland and Mississippian cultural elements. Radiocarbon dating of organic remains indicated dates ranging from 1090 BC to AD 70, with the majority of the artifacts dating from about 500 BC to about 200 BC. These artifacts are believed to represent a transitional culture between the Old Copper and Red Ocher traditions.</p><br>
<p>Artifacts recovered from this site include stone, pottery, and, particularly, copper constructions. Stone tools and points were recovered. The small amount of pottery discovered was mostly associated with the later Woodland and Mississippian cultures. However, the Riversite site is particularly remarkable for the variety and quantity of copper implements discovered - about 700 in total. This includes the first clearly documented copper implement that was manufactured by casting rather than hammering. Many of the copper artifacts were in an excellent state of preservation.</p><br>
<p>The site is also unique in the apparent social ranking system, with more prestige artifacts in some graves than others. There was also an apparent emphasis on females and on the infant young.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Archaeological evidence suggest that the Riverside site was first inhabited around 1000 BC. Artifacts show occupation continuing to around AD 70, with the majority of the artifacts dating from about 500 BC to about 200 BC. Nearly no more modern artifacts were found on the site, leading researchers to conclude that the site was used only sporadically and temporarily in later years.</p><br>
<p>The archaeological features of the Riverside site had been known to those in the Menominee community since the early 1900s, and had undergone a fair amount of surface collection. The site came to the attention of professional archaeologists when sand was removed for use as fill, exposing copper artifacts and bone fragments. The first professional excavations were undertaken by Albert C. Spaulding in 1956 and 1957. These excavations were intended to perform a general sampling and to map the entire site. Spaulding&#39;s work determined the limits of the archaeological area, identified the cemetery site, and revealed copper tools and the first obsidian material reported in the area.</p><br>
<p>Later excavations, funded by the Oshkosh Public Museum and the Milwaukee Public Museum and led by Robert Hruska took place in 1961 - 1963. These excavations extensively probed the site. The recovered artifacts are now housed at the Milwaukee Public Museum.</p><br>
<p>The D.S. Chamberlain Building, also known as the L. W. Taylor Motor Company and Payne Motor Company Building, is a historic building located in Des Moines, Iowa, United States. The two-story brick structure was designed by the prominent Des Moines architectural firm of Proudfoot, Bird & Rawson. Completed in 1917, it features elongated Chicago-style windows on the upper floors and simple geometric details on the cornice level that reflect the Collegiate Gothic style. The building was built as a speculative venture by Davis S. Chamberlain, who was one of the founders of his familys drug manufacturing company. It is located in the citys "Motor Row" or "Auto Row" on the west side of downtown. In 1916 there were 111 motor related firms in Des Moines that was valued at $12 million in annual trade. Both the Taylor Motor Company and the Payne Motor Company were housed in the double storefront building for many years. Other car dealerships followed. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2007.</p><br>
<p>The Des Moines Saddlery Company Building is a historic building located in downtown Des Moines, Iowa, United States. It was built in 1881 by J. Rubelman of Muscatine, Iowa. He choose to move his operation to Des Moines because of its location on two rivers and the 13 railroads that served the city. It was one of four saddlery firms in a two block area. Rubelman&#39;s company made saddles, harnesses and leather works for 20 years. In the years since it has housed a shoe maker, rubber company, stove manufacturer, glove company, the Krispy Kone Company and the Kaplan Hat Company. The later was also the name of the restaurant that was located on the first floor.</p><br>
<p>The building, which was built in four phases between c. 1878 to 1920, is the most intact example of commercial Italianate architecture extant in Des Moines. It was built to house both retail and manufacturing purposes. The building was flooded with 19 ft of water during the Des Moines River flood of 1993. It remained empty until the Court Avenue Restaurant & Brewing Company moved in with its equipment. The Des Moines Saddlery Company Building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.</p><br>
<p>In 2016, the Republic of Kosovo selected the Saddlery Company Building to host a consulate office.</p><br>
<p>The Lewis Anderson House, Barn and Granary is a historic ensemble of buildings, currently located in The Dalles, Oregon, United States. This well-preserved set of 1890s Swedish American vernacular architecture was originally located on a farm on Pleasant Ridge, south of The Dalles. Lewis Anderson was a Swedish immigrant who, after establishing himself on Pleasant Ridge, worked semi-successfully to encourage further Swedish settlement in the area of The Dalles. The sidehill barn, with grade entrances on two levels, was the first erected of the ensemble, in 1890. The house was built by Anderson and fellow Swedish immigrant Ab Pearson in 1895. Anderson purchased and relocated the granary from a neighboring farm in 1898, in the process repurposing it from its previous function as a house.</p><br>
<p>The buildings were relocated to The Dalles in 1972 in order to restore and protect them, and were made part of the Fort Dalles Museum at that time.</p><br>
<p>The Benton Stone Water Tower is located in Benton, Wisconsin. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.</p><br>
<p>Benton&#39;s history goes back to early lead-mining days. In 1827 Andrew Murphy built a mill race there. The village grew as mining expanded, shrank when many of the miners left for California in 1849, then gradually grew back.</p><br>
<p>After a fire destroyed Benton&#39;s store and two houses in February 1899, the people decided unanimously to investigate "a waterworks" system. When a committee recommended a $4000 system financed with bonds to be paid back by taxes, it was put to a referendum and approved 84 to 24. The aim was "to supply water for domestic and sanitary purposes and for extinguishing fires."</p><br>
<p>A lot was bought on the hill and a 50-foot well was dug with a large reservoir. M. Tschirgi of Dubuque built the stone tower, coursed limestone 67 feet tall with a door with a segmental arch and circular glass-filled windows. On top of the tower sat a wooden tank 18 feet around and 18 feet high. And atop the tank stood a windmill, which pumped water from the reservoir below up into the tank. (The NRHP nomination contains a photo of the original arrangement.) Hydrants were connected to the tower. The system was complete and working by the end of 1899.</p><br>
<p>In February 1900 the newspaper reported that R.A. Blades would add a "bathing room" to his "tonsorial parlor." (Blades was one of Benton&#39;s barbers, and contract supervisor during construction of the tower.) Apparently this meant a room where you could pay to bathe. A fire company was organized around the same time.</p><br>
<p>In 1923 the town replaced the wooden tank with a 30,000 gallon steel tank with a conical steel roof, built by the Chicago Bridge and Iron Works. The windmill was removed in the 1930s. The tower was refurbished in 2010.</p><br>
<p>Today the old tower stands as a prominent landmark in Benton, an example of fine stonework and early public works engineering. The NRHP nomination also notes that "determination to build a waterworks marked an important step in the evolution of community spirit and willingness to raise taxes for a common purpose."</p><br>
<p>The Central Handley Historic District is located in Handley, Fort Worth, Texas, seven miles east of downtown. The district was the commercial center of the unincorporated small town of Handley  which was subsequently annexed into the city of Fort Worth, Texas in 1946.</p><br>
<p>Platted in 1885 by the Texas & Pacific Railway, the growth of the town was influenced by the presence of the railroad and the arrival of the Northern Texas Traction Company’s Interurban streetcar system operating between Fort Worth and Dallas in 1902. As the location of the traction company&#39;s power plant and car barns, the town became home to employees of both the Northern Texas Traction Company and the T&P.</p><br>
<p>The Central Handley Historic District was oriented on the north side of the railway reservation with the depot located along the southern border of the district. The businesses within the district served not only the local residents and area farmers but the commuters who traveled on the railroad and the Interurban.</p><br>
<p>It was named for James Madison Handley, a Georgia native and veteran of the USA Civil War.</p><br>
<p>It was added to the National Register on January 17, 2002.</p><br>

The Lewis and Clark Expedition camped at this defensible spot for three nights in late October 1805, just after it passed Celilo Falls on its descent to the Pacific Ocean, and again for one night on their return journey. It was here that the expedition first made significant contact and commerce with the Chinookan-speaking peoples of the lower Columbia.</p><br>
<p>The Herring Motor Car Company Building, now known as 10th Street Lofts, is a historic building located in downtown Des Moines, Iowa. The building is a six-story brick structure rising 90 ft tall. It was designed by the Des Moines architectural firm of Proudfoot, Bird & Rawson in the Classical Revival style. Clyde L. Herring had the building built in 1912 and it was completed the following year. It was originally a four-story building with two more floors added 18 months after it was originally built. By 1915, the company was building 32 Ford automobiles a day, and had delivered “more automobiles than any other one automobile agency in the United States.” Along with the neighboring Standard Glass and Paint Company Building, today it is part of the same loft apartment complex. The National Biscuit Company Building on the other side of the building has likewise been converted into an apartment building. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004.</p><br>
<p>The Standard Glass and Paint Company Building, also known as 10th Street Lofts, is a historic building located in downtown Des Moines, Iowa, United States.

Lovejoy was responsible for its construction. It was one of several warehouse buildings on the southwest corner of the downtown area. Established by the Clemens brothers, Standard Glass and Paint Company was in existence from 1903 to 1979. It was Des Moines&#39; leading wholesale and retail supplier of a variety of building and remodeling supplies. The company remained in this building until the mid-1920s when they moved to the Clemens Automobile Company Building, which was owned by the same family. After it sat empty until 1931 various wholesale companies occupied this building over the succeeding years.

<p>The National Biscuit Company Building, also known as National Biscuit Company Flats, is a historic building located in downtown Des Moines, Iowa, United States. The heavy timber and masonry building was built in 1906. Only half of the planned building was completed, and the north half of the property was later sold. It initially served as a production and distribution facility for the National Biscuit Company. Architect William F. Wilmouth, who designed the company&#39;s buildings is presumed to be the architect of this four-story Neoclassical building. Benson & Marxer served as the contractors. Des Moines was the third largest sales territory for the company. It was one of a few bakeries in the company that produced the Uneeda Biscuit, and it was one of three that produced a corn cracker in the mid-1920s.</p><br>
<p>The National Baking Company would use this building until 1940. Boyt Harness Company, Firestone Tire and Rubber Company, and Look magazine used it for a warehouse. Carpenter&#39;s Local #106 acquired the building in 1981 and used it for meetings and as a place to train apprentices. In 1995 the building was converted into a 54-unit apartment building.

<p>Murillo Flats is a three story, formerly seven unit brick apartment building in Des Moines, Iowa. Built in 1903, it was originally located at 531-533 14th at the intersection with High Street in the downtown area of the city. On March 1, 2008, in the largest relocation project scheduled for that year and an event covered by both local & national media in rmc decouverte in convoi xxl, the 705-ton building was moved to a new location so that it could be preserved. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2009.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Previous owners of the building included sisters Florence and Helen Wyse from the 1920s through the 1990s and Gary Bowen, who had been trying for several years to sell condominiums prior to the building being purchased by Wellmark Blue Cross & Blue Shield.</p><br>
<h2>Move to 16th & High Street</h2><br>
<h3>Background</h3><br>
<p>On September 15, 2007 Wellmark Blue Cross & Blue Shield announced plans to build a new company headquarters on three city blocks (6.5 acres) in downtown Des Moines. The land purchased by Wellmark contained several existing buildings, including a row home built in 1880 and the Murillo Building. These two were identified for preservation, and Wellmark indicated that they would give away the buildings on the condition that they were moved from the site by March 2008. Rob McCammon worked on the plan to relocate the buildings, with Phil Kaser agreeing to finance the Murillo Building move. Wellmark gave Kaser the building, along with a portion of the money saved from not having to demolish it. Kinter Construction was hired as the general contractor for both moves, who in turn brought in Patterson Structural Movers of Washington, Iowa to work on the Murillo.</p><br>
<h3>Preparations</h3><br>
<p>Preparations for the move took 17 days. The building was cut from its foundation using water-lubricated chain saws, then raised using hydraulic equipment before finally being placed upon dollies with a total of 192 wheels, each of which was individually powered and could be turned 90 degrees in order to move a different direction without having to turn the entire building. Power lines were also moved along the planned route to accommodate the building&#39;s size.</p><br>
<h3>The Move</h3><br>
<p>The building was to move three blocks along High Street to its new location. Due to concerns that the weight of the building may damage sewer pipes running under the street, Des Moines city officials wanted the relocation to occur during daylight hours on a Saturday. March 1 was the last day that the move could take place, otherwise Wellmark would have demolished the building. The relocation effort began just after dawn, but due to warming temperatures and melting snow the building could not initially be moved as the wheels stuck in the mud. The building eventually rolled onto High Street with the aid of two heavy-duty tow trucks from Hanifen Towing in Des Moines, but this part of the operation took more than four hours instead of the expected one. By Saturday evening the building was located on the street next to its final destination, and on March 2 was positioned over a hole dug in the lot where the new foundations will be built. The entire event was recorded on 9 cameras by Windfall Films for their Monster Moves show, which is broadcast in the United States on the Discovery Channel and National Geographic Channel (under the names Mega Moves & Impossible Moves). The Murillo move features in episode 5 of the third season ("Historic Hulks")</p><br>
<p>It is currently being shown on "Massive Moves" on the DIY network.</p><br>
<h2>Future</h2><br>
<p>Phil Kaser indicated that he intends to rent the apartments once the move has been completed, and possibly sell them as condominiums in the future.</p><br>
<p>The Perry and Brainard Block, also known as the North Des Moines Town Hall, is a historic building located in Des Moines, Iowa, United States. The structure was built between 1888 and 1889 and the second floor served as the city hall for the suburb of North Des Moines. In the late 19th century Des Moines actively sought to annex its Victorian suburbs, with North Des Moines being the largest of these communities. This is the only known public building that has survived from the Annexation Movement era. The local government and community of North Des Moines debated annexation, not only of the municipalities, but of their schools as well. It was also the only community where the residents voted on the annexation issue, and this building also served as a polling place. The building served as the location of the celebration after the referendums passed in 1890. After its use as the city hall, the second floor became the lodge for the Ancient Order of United Workmen.</p><br>
<p>The building&#39;s commercial space is also significant in that it is in one of two commercial areas in North Des Moines, which indicates the size and influence the community had in the late 19th century.</p><br>
<p>Continental was a bulk carrier that sank, or was wrecked in Lake Michigan off the coast of Two Rivers, Wisconsin, United States. In 2009 the shipwreck site was added to the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Continental was built in Cleveland, Ohio in 1882. It foundered, or was wrecked 1 mi north of Twin River Point Light in a snow storm on December 12, 1904, while traveling to Manitowoc, Wisconsin for winter service and repairs.</p><br>
<p>St. Gregory Parish, also known as St. Gregory Nazianzen, is a Catholic parish of the Diocese of Green Bay. Its historic parish church, dedicated to Saint Gregory of Nazianzus, is located at 214 Church Street in the village of St. Nazianz, Wisconsin.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The congregation was organized by the founder of the community, Fr. Ambrose Oschwald, who left Germany in 1854 with 113 followers to establish a religious colony in America. He developed his own religious rule for the community, wherein everything was to be shared in common and all would work without pay. The community called itself the Association of Oschwald Brothers and Sisters, or simply The Association.</p><br>
<p>Oschwald recorded the founding of the parish as September 8, 1854, as work was underway on the first church, a hand-hewn log structure that included a residence of Oschwald on the lower level and a chapel on the upper level. The first Mass was offered on October 15.</p><br>
<p>A womens convent of pink brick, which came to be known as the Pink Convent, was built between 1857 and 1860. A male counterpart, the so-called Loretto Monastery, was built in 1862. In 1865, the parish built a seminary and an orphanage and hospital, later converted to a convent. It also sponsored a boarding school in nearby Charlestown in Calumet County. A parochial school, St. Gregorys School, was built in 1884.</p><br>
<p>The cornerstone for the stone church was laid on June 9, 1864 by John Henni, first Bishop of Milwaukee. The structure was finally completed in 1868 and dedicated by Henni on November 10 of that year. Soon thereafter, Oschwald commissioned work on the Loreto Shrine Chapel, dedicated to Our Lady of Loretto, completed in 1870 and expanded in 1872. Oschwald died less than six months after its dedication, succeeded by his protégé, Fr. Peter Mutz.</p><br>
<p>Dissension arose in the community soon thereafter, and legal battles took their toll on membership and finances of the Association. As the original generation of settlers died out, the future of the village, and its parish, fell into doubt. In 1896, Fr. Louis Barth, who had lived in St. Nazianz and studied at the Oschwald Seminary, learned of the Society of the Divine Savior (the Salvatorians) and invited its founder, Fr. Francis Jordan to visit. On August 11, the remaining members of the Association turned over their remaining property and spiritual leadership to the Salvatorians, although St. Gregorys remained independent until 1905, when Joseph Fox, Bishop of Green Bay, invited the Salvatorians to assume the administration of the parish. Care of St. Gregorys School was given to the School Sisters of St. Francis in 1896. The convent and orphanage/hospital was taken over by the Salvatorian Sisters, who renamed it St. Mary&#39;s Convent by the Sister of the Divine Savior.</p><br>
<p>The church was extensively remodeled in 1926, but the Great Depression put a halt to further improvements to the properties for some time. In 1940, the parish acquired the Catholic Order of Foresters building for use as a parish hall. The original St. Gregory&#39;s Church and the Pink Convent, which had become too costly to maintain, were razed in 1949; a stone memorial is left on the site of the church. Funds were used to build a social center in 1950, and a new school building was completed in 1952.</p><br>
<p>In 2000, the diocese undertook a massive reorganization intended to address demographic changes and the priest shortage. St. Gregory shares a priest with the churches of SS. Peter & Paul in Kiel and Holy Trinity in School Hill. St. Gregorys has also absorbed Holy Trinitys school.</p><br>
<h2>Church</h2><br>
<p>The current parish church was constructed between 1864 and 1868 of locally quarried fieldstone. The single-story, gable-roofed church measures 120 feet long by 55 feet wide. The church suffered severe interior damage in a fire on May 2, 1955. It was remodeled in 1958, and the destroyed spire replaced with a cross.</p><br>
<p>In 1982, the entire complex of St. Gregorys Church, the Loretto Shrine Chapel, and St. Marys Convent was added to the National Register of Historic Places as.</p><br>
<p>"The Storm of 2000," took the steeple off the church. Officially a windstorm, many say it was a tornado. After the storm, St. Gregory received a new steeple to resemble the original.</p><br>

<p>Heinrich Zeller House, also known as Fort Zeller and Zeller&#39;s Fort, is a historic -story building that has served as a fort, block house and residence. The historic structure is located in Millcreek Township, Lebanon County, Pennsylvania.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>Zellers Fort was built in 1745 in the Pennsylvania German Traditional architectural style. The Zeller family, neighbors and the Pennsylvania militia used the fort during the French and Indian War (1754-1763) as refuge and defense against Native American Indian raids. It was actually a fortified house that replaced an earlier log house that was originally built in 1723 near the same location. During the French and Indian War, Lebanon County was susceptible to Native American Indian attacks so many fortifications, forts and blockhouses were constructed in this area. These fortifications included seven private fortresses: Bethel Moravian Church Fort (Fredericksburg), Benjamin Spyckers Stockade (Jackson Township), George Gloningers Fort (Pleasant Hill), Isaac Meier Homestead (Myerstown), Lights Fort (Lebanon), Ulrichs Fort (Annville) and Zellers Fort - Heinrich Zeller House (Newmanstown); one fort built by the Pennsylvania Colonial Militia: Fort Swatara (Inwood); and four blockhouses: Adam Harpers (Harper Tavern), Joseph Gibbers (Fredericksburg), Martin Hess’ (Union Township) and Philip Breitenbach&#39;s (Myerstown). The Pennsylvania colonial militia used these fortifications during skirmishes or when troops were scouting or deployed in the area.</p><br>
<p>Fort Zeller has been used as a Zeller family gathering place for more than 200 years.</p><br>
<p>The structure was built into a bank over an everflowing spring that flows naturally from the bedrock into a creek from an arched opening in the basement. The spring provided fresh drinking water and provided a naturally cool area for storage. The building has an Alsatian / Swiss appearance.</p><br>
<h3>Corner Stone and Front Picture Gallery</h3><br>
<h2>Interior</h2><br>
<p>The first floor includes a twelve foot long fireplace located in the center of the structure which was used for heat and a cooking area, kitchen, living room, storage room and a staircase that leads to the second floor. The original windows included washbasins built into the sills. Water from the spring would flow into the sill and would be used to wash up. A wooden plug was used to allow water to flow into the sill and to exit underneath the window pane. The interior flooring, roofing and walls are framed with heavy timbers. The second floor includes a bedroom, which has the oldest hanging shutter in Pennsylvania.</p><br>
<h2>Exterior</h2><br>
<p>A Zeller family crest (stone carving) hangs over the front door which is also a sign of their faith. The roof is a steep gable style and the original windows were designed for defensive purposes and were narrow and irregularly spaced and measured only twelve by six inches. The exterior walls are constructed of twelve-inch thick limestone covered with stucco.</p><br>
<h2>Basement</h2><br>
<p>There were two original access points to the basement. One was an exterior door that led out in the same direction as the creek, and the second was a trap door located in the floor of the living room. The spring made the basement cool all year and provided cold storage areas for food and water.</p><br>

<p>The Casa Alvarez was built about 1790 in then-St. Ferdinand, a village made up of primarily Spanish and French Catholic settlers. Its original form consisted of one room with a large fireplace. Prior to 1840 the high ceiling was replaced with a second floor, part of the main room partitioned to create a staircase, and dormer and gable windows added. Three more rooms were added and a second fireplace built in 1840. A new dining room, kitchen and porches were added in the 1920s and 1930s. The home has a full basement. At an unknown point a first-floor bathroom was installed.</p><br>
<h2>Ownership history</h2><br>
<p>The house originally was constructed for Eugenio Alvarez, He continued his service as a military storekeeper and became acquainted with Pierre Laclede and Pierre Chouteau, among other early settlers. Alvarez passed the home to his son, Auguste, sometime in the 1840s.</p><br>
<p>The house remained in the Alvarez family until 1905, when it passed to Humphrey Moynihan (a mayor of Florissant). Moynihan sold it in 1910 to Auguste Archambault, Jr. It was purchased in 1914 by Hermann von Schrenk, who owned the home through 1955. A botanist with a particular interest in the lumber industry, Von Schrenk introduced coating railroad ties in creosote in the United States. The von Schrenk family restored the house and added significantly to its gardens.</p><br>

<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Granville Jones was a New Yorker born in 1856, who moved to Wisconsin and taught in Fond du Lac County, then graduated from the University of Wisconsin and became principal of the high school in Wisconsin Rapids. In 1884, he began working at a Wausau law firm and was admitted to the bar in 1886. He founded the Wausau Telephone Company and the G. D. Jones Land Company, encouraged other Wausau businessmen to invest together in new businesses, and was involved in other businesses, including Employers Mutual Insurance Company, Wausau Sulphite Paper Company, and the First National Bank of Wausau.</p><br>
<p>Jones served on the Wausau school board for twenty years, encouraging students to pursue higher education. He served two terms as a regent of the University of Wisconsin. As a regent, Jones pushed to punish Professor Richard T. Ely for teaching socialist ideas, which led to the "sifting and winnowing" statement. He and another regent censured Professor Eugene Allen Gilmore for researching the right of the state to control its waters. And he led a movement to reprimand Professor Edward Ross for allowing an anarchist to address his sociology class.</p><br>

<p>The Alexander Schaeffer House is a historic house museum at 213 South Carpenter Road in Schaefferstown, Heidelberg Township, Lebanon County, Pennsylvania. Built about 1736 and enlarged in 1771, it is a rare example of an 18th-century colonial German-style Weinbauernhouse , in which a residence and the production of alcohol products are combined in a single building. The house is on the upper Brendle Farms property of Historic Schaefferstown, which offers tours of the house by appointment. It was designated a National Historic Landmark in 2011.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Alexander Schaeffer House stands in a farm complex on about 90 acre of land on the south side of Schaefferstown, with its principal access drive leading west from South Carpenter Street. The oldest portion of the structure is stories in height, built out of coursed rubble limestone joined with lime mortar. It is set on sloping land, which provides for banked entrances on the ground level and second floor. Window placement is irregular, and the multiple entrances serve different functional purposes. The ground floor spaces originally had dirt floors and were treated as a work space even in the house&#39;s early days, while the upper level had a living space with three rooms, serving as kitchen, parlor, and bedchamber. The interior retains 18th-century wide flooring, doors, and hardware, although whether those things date to the original construction or later alteration is unclear.</p><br>
<p>This basic plan, built about 1738, was altered in 1771 by Alexander Schaeffer, who purchased the property in 1758, and for whom the town is named. He extended the building with a two-story addition, constructed with similar materials to those used in the original. The ground floor space under the original section had a vaulted storage space built into it, with a large kitchen for operating a still in the upper floor of the addition. The fireplace in the original kitchen was also adapted for use in the distillation process. Schaeffer probably acquired this property in order to provide spirits for a tavern he operated on the main road in town.</p><br>

<p>Rock Hall is a circa 1912 Tudor Revival house at 19 Rock Hall Road in Colebrook, Connecticut. The 10,000 ft&sup2; building was designed by the architect Addison Mizner of Palm Beach, Florida, originally as a home for Jerome Alexandre and his wife Violet Adelaide Oakley. It is reportedly Mizner&#39;s only surviving work in the northern United States, and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2010. It is now a hotel.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Rock Hall stands on a rural lane in southwestern Colebrook, on 22.5 acre that are a remnant of the original 175 acre country estate. The property includes grounds whose landscaping retains some of its original character, as well as the main house and several period outbuildings. The house is a large H-shaped three-story structure, with an exterior of rubble stone and Tudor style stucco. The sections of the H are covered by gabled roofs, with flat-roof sections at the ends. The downstairs public spaces are finished in a variety of different styles, while the upstairs bedrooms and servant quarters are generally in the Georgian Revival style.</p><br>
<p>Jerome Alexandre&#39;s mother-in-law, Mary Oakley, purchased a 175-acre farm in Colebrook in 1909, and deeded it to Alexandre two years later. Construction of Rock Hall began soon afterward, supervised by Addison Mizner, then early in his illustrious career. The design of the interior was intended to suggest that the house had grown organically, rather than by deliberate design. The house was used by the Alexandres only until 1919, and was sold out of the family in 1922. The estate was broken up in 1966. THe house underwent restoration beginning in 2005, and was opened as a hotel in 2007.</p><br>
<p>The Bear Lake Stake Tabernacle, or Paris Tabernacle is situated on main street in Paris, Idaho, is a Romanesque red sandstone meetinghouse of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints  designed by Joseph Don Carlos Young, the son of Brigham Young, built between 1884 and 1889. The tabernacle was built by Mormon pioneers of Bear Lake Valley who used horse and ox teams to haul rock quarried from Indian Creek Canyon, nearly 18 miles away. After completion of the Logan Utah Temple in 1884, workers began construction of the tabernacle, which was supervised by William Budge. It cost $50,000  to build and seats around 2000 people.</p><br>
<p>The tabernacle was dedicated September 15, 1889, by LDS Church president Wilford Woodruff. It was planned to be dedicated in 1888, but a fire partially destroyed the interior, and it had to be restored. In 1972, the tabernacle was added to the National Register of Historic Places. The tabernacle was refurbished in 2004 and 2005 and continues to operate as a meeting place for the Bear Lake Stake congregations and community.</p><br>
<p>The Somerville City Hall  is a historic municipal building at 93 Highland Avenue in Somerville, Massachusetts. Built in 1852 and enlarged several times, it has served as the city&#39;s first high school, first public library, and only city hall. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>Somerville City Hall is located at the northeast corner of School Street and Highland Avenue at the western end of the Central Hill area of the city, a cluster of municipal buildings that includes the current Somerville High School and its Central Library. The present appearance of the building is as a 2-1/2 story brick Colonial Revival structure, with a gable roof and a projecting square section at the center of its east-facing front facade. The building is topped by a wood-frame belfry and clocktower with cupola.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>It was decided to build the building in 1851. Melvin & Young of Boston were the architects, and James S. Tuttle and Isaiah W. Tuttle of Somerville were the builders. When it was completed in 1852, the brick Greek Revival building housed the Free High School on the second floor, and a large meeting hall, called Town Hall, on the first. Rapid expansion of the town during the next fifteen years created cramped conditions for the High School, and in 1866 it was voted that the school would take over the entire building. Almost simultaneously, the Forster School on Sycamore Street was destroyed by fire. It was decided that the new Forster School would include a large hall, called Forster Hall, on its third floor to replace Town Hall. This was completed in 1867, and the High School moved into the vacant space. This too was quickly outgrown, and a new Somerville High School was built in 1871, and dedicated in 1872. Also in 1871, the Massachusetts legislature reincorporated Somerville as a city, which was approved by the voters, which was to take effect on January 1, 1872. Once the new High School was dedicated, the old building was converted into the Somerville City Hall. Continued growth of the city necessitated more changes in the building, with the police department and public library moving into their own buildings in 1875 and 1885, respectively.</p><br>
<p>In 1893, 1894 and 1895, then-mayor William H. Hodgkins agitated for a new City Hall. This was however rejected by his successor, Albion A. Perry, who advocated instead for an extension to the building.</p><br>
<p>Following the completion of the Somerville High School project, it has been proposed to renovate the building again.</p><br>
<p>The Parker Homestead is a historic home and grounds in Little Silver, Monmouth County, New Jersey, United States, located at 235 Rumson Road near Sickles Park. The main house was originally built circa 1720, and includes materials from an earlier structure  the early and late 19th century, and the 1910s and 1920s. It is one of the oldest extant buildings in the state. The farmstead which also includes three outlying barns were listed on the New Jersey Register of Historic Places and the National Register of Historic Places. in 2011.</p><br>
<h2>Original settlers</h2><br>
<p>Little Silver was settled by two of the original patentees of Shrewsbury Township, one of the earliest English-speaking settlements in New Jersey Brothers Joseph and Peter Parker settled in the area in 1667 and owned land bounded by Parkers Creek on the south and Little Silver Creek on the north, named their holdings "Little Silver" after their fathers (George Parker) estate in Portsmouth, Rhode Island. The farm remained in the family until the last descendant of the original settlers, Julia Parker, died in 1995.</p><br>
<h2>Acquisition and preservation</h2><br>
<p>After Julia Parker died the homestead was acquired by the borough, through her bequest, with the condition that it be preserved. Studies are being conducted as to how to proceed with restoration of the property. The Garden State Historic Preservation Trust Fund awarded a $44,625 grant for the site and local authorities used that money for preliminary preparations and consultant fees to outline a plan for future work and use of the historic property. The condition of the buildings are considered precarious and immediate stabilization is considered a priority.</p><br>
<p>In the summer of 2013, an Eagle Scout project was conducted to clear invasive and obtrusive plants from the area surrounding the pond next to the house.</p><br>
<p>Alden Villa, also known as Millwood, is a historic home located in Cornwall, Lebanon County, Pennsylvania. Representative of the Queen Anne and Shingle Style, it was designed by Stanford White, one of the leading architects of the Gilded Age. Built in 1881, the home and its eight-acre property were added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2011.</p><br>
<h2>History and architectural features</h2><br>
<p>Millwood, an 11,223 square foot residence which was built in 1881 for R. Percy Alden, was designed by the prominent Gilded Age architect Stanford White. Employing the Queen Anne and Shingle styles of architecture, White created what has been described by historians at The Lebanon Valley Conservancy as "a unique dwelling and a spectacular example of an Old English manor house" which is "perched high on a hill." It is located at 100 Freeman Drive in Cornwall, Lebanon County, Pennsylvania.</p><br>
<p>Architectural features include an exterior main gable entrance with early Victorian-style half-timbering, an arched ceiling, clerestory windows, a great hall with a musicians&#39; gallery, a stained glass window wall, and a stucco mosaic wall adorned with broken colored glass. Owned by the Alden family until 1949, it was sold that year to the Amalgamated Garment Workers Union, which converted it to a recreational rather than residential structure.</p><br>
<p>Also designed by White and erected in 1881 for Alden was the R. Percy Alden Carriage House, which now stands at 104 Alden Way, several hundred feet northwest of the structure&#39;s original location.</p><br>
<p>On January 30, 2006, Edward H. Arnold and Michael Kip Kelly formed a company to restore the house. Work was fully completed on the carriage house and partially so on the mansion between 2007 and 2009; however, re-roofing of the mansion had still not yet been completed by early February 2010 when newspapers reported that Arnold had brought suit against Kelly for $1.7 million, alleging that Kelly had failed to pay back loans which had been made "for building improvements and operating expenses." Kelly responded by asking the court to dissolve the business, Calvania.</p><br>
<h3>Placement of this property on the National Register of Historic Places</h3><br>
<p>The nomination materials for placement of Alden Villa (also known as Millwood) on the National Register of Historic Places were reviewed by Pennsylvania&#39;s Historic Preservation Board on February 1, 2011, at 9:45 a.m. at the Labor and Industry Building in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Also considered for National Register placement at this meeting were: the Robb Farm in Huntingdon County, the McCook Family Estate and the John A. Brashear House and Factory in Pittsburgh, the Montrose Historic District in Susquehanna County, the Quakertown Historic District in Bucks County, Wilpen Hall in Sewickley, and the Tindley Temple United Methodist Church and Marian Anderson House in Philadelphia, as well as multiple historic African American churches in Philadelphia that were presented together on a "Multiple Property Documentation Form."</p><br>
<p>The historic residence and its eight-acre property were then officially added to the National Register of Historic Places later in 2011.</p><br>
<h2>In popular culture</h2><br>
<p>Alden Villa was the primary filming location for the slasher movie WatchUsDie.com (2001), serving as the dorm where a majority of the movie takes place.</p><br>

<p>The current Box Elder Stake Tabernacle, also known as the Brigham City Tabernacle, is a neo-Gothic tabernacle of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints rebuilt in Brigham City, Box Elder County, Utah by Mormon pioneers in 1897 after being gutted by fire a year earlier. The tabernacle continues to function as a meetinghouse for congregants of the Box Elder Stake and seats approximately 1,600. It also hosts concerts and other special events and is open for tours during the summer. Given its unique architecture and importance to the community, the tabernacle was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on May 14, 1971. The temple, built in 2012, stands across from the tabernacle.</p><br>
<h2>Original structure</h2><br>
<p>The site for the tabernacle was chosen by LDS Church President Brigham Young, who after visiting a different site selected by local church officers, went atop "Sagebrush hill" the highest point along main street and reportedly stated "this is the spot for your tabernacle." On May 8, 1865, Young and Utah Territorial Surveyor Jesse Williams Fox Sr (1819-1894) laid its cornerstones. On May 27, 1879, meetings began to be held in the partially-completed structure. In 1889, it was voted to "complete" the building by adding its tower, gallery, rear vestibule, capped brick buttresses, and other improvements. The tabernacle was completed and dedicated on October 28, 1890 by Young&#39;s successor, Wilford Woodruff.</p><br>
<h2>Fire and rebuilding</h2><br>
<p>The tabernacle was gutted by fire in 1896, just 6 years after being completed in 1890. On Sunday February 9, 1896, as church members began to assemble a fire broke out in the furnace room, the building ignited and was reduced to blackened stone walls. Within a year the tabernacle was rebuilt with elegant woodwork, a distinctive gothic-revival tower and sixteen graceful pinnacles, and dedicated by George Q. Cannon on March 21, 1897.</p><br>
<h2>Renovations</h2><br>
<p>In 1951 an organ from the Reuter Organ Company was installed. On April 12, 1987, LDS apostle Boyd K. Packer, who was born & raised in Brigham City, rededicated the tabernacle after extensive renovations.</p><br>
<p>In 2012 the grounds were re-landscaped along with the construction of the Brigham City Utah Temple, and a new media center was put in as a kind of visitors center.</p><br>
<p>The Summit Stake Tabernacle or "Coalville Tabernacle" was a meetinghouse of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints  located in Coalville, Summit County, Utah.</p><br>
<h2>Construction</h2><br>
<p>Plans for the Summit Stake Tabernacle were made shortly after the creation of the Summit Stake in 1877, and the architect and builder was Thomas L. Allen. The cornerstone was laid by Franklin D. Richards on August 7, 1879. The construction of the tabernacle included 600,000 locally-made bricks, 75,000 feet of lumber (both Oregon red pine and local lumber from Echo Canyon), and sandstone from the Coalville ledge quarry. The unique gothic-style architecture included a 117-foot tower that was visible miles away. The interior had stained glass windows imported from Belgium and an elaborately-painted ceiling. The tabernacle was dedicated on May 14, 1899 by LDS Church President Lorenzo Snow.</p><br>
<h2>Renovation</h2><br>
<p>In the 1940s, renovations took place to alter the interior of the tabernacle into a more functional meetinghouse with classrooms. However, in a short time, even these alterations were deemed inadequate and a new stake center was planned.</p><br>
<h2>Demolition</h2><br>
<p>After serving the Summit Stake and greater Coalville community for over 70 years, church administrators went through with plans to demolish the tabernacle. The building was listed on the Utah State Register of Historic Sites in 1970 and the National Register of Historic Places in 1971 shortly before demolition as attempts to preserve the building. There were other attempts to preserve the building, including a group of residents that tried to place a restraining order on the church, which garnered much media attention, including reports from the New York Times. However, two days after a judge struck down the restraining order, and amidst much controversy, church leaders removed some historically significant items from the tabernacle before bulldozers arrived. On March 5, 1971, the building was razed.</p><br>
<p>Allen Roberts reports that Milo Baughman, then the head of the Brigham Young University Department of Environmental Design, tried to organize a demonstration by students from the department against the demolition. The University blocked these plans, and soon closed the entire department.</p><br>
<p>The John Immel House was an historic farmhouse that was located in Jackson Township, Lebanon County, Pennsylvania.</p><br>
<h2>History and architectural features</h2><br>
<p>Built in 1814, in the Pennsylvania German Traditional architecture style, using locally quarried limestone, this historic structure featured master masonry work. It was strategically located near the Union Canal towpath to take advantage of quick access to the fastest transportation system in the southeastern Pennsylvania area during the early nineteenth century.</p><br>
<h2>Immel family</h2><br>
<p>The Immel family are descendants of original German Palatine immigrants. The Immel family was influential in the southeastern Pennsylvania area in the early nineteenth-century as they were involved in religious activities, civic functions and business transactions.</p><br>
<h2>Pennsylvania German Traditional Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The John Immel House was a -story, L-shaped farmhouse, four bays wide and four bays deep. Its main section measured thirty-two feet by thirty-two feet, and included a rear extension that measured eighteen feet by eighteen feet. The front facade featured a classically designed main entranceway with a full pediment and an unusual fan-shaped top transom. The structure included a full basement under both sections, and had a one-room attic above the main section.</p><br>
<p>The house&#39;s most noticeable feature was its excellent early nineteenth-century master masonry workmanship. Examples of this workmanship included non-uniformly shaped limestone building blocks intricately fitted together and large limestone quoins.</p><br>
<p>It was a near picture-perfect example of Pennsylvania German Traditional architecture because it contained most of the identifiable features of the style including a steep pitched main gable roof, thick stone outer wall construction, four over four front bay façade design, dual gable end brick chimneys, and stood stories high</p><br>
<h2>National Register of Historic Places</h2><br>
<p>The John Immel House was added to the National Register of Historic Places on April 17, 1980, for its architectural significance as an early nineteenth-century Pennsylvania German Traditional farmhouse. It was delisted in 2022.</p><br>
<h2>Demolition</h2><br>
<p>The John Immel House caught fire circa 1990, and suffered damage that was beyond economic repair. It was demolished soon afterwards. A contributing wooden shed that was located next to it was also demolished around the same time.</p><br>
