<h2>History</h2><br>
<h3>Development</h3><br>
<p>The cornerstone for the courthouse was laid on April 5, 1906. Although no formal ceremonies were held, roughly one hundred people were in attendance to witness the event, which was held in Wilkes-Barre at two oclock in the afternoon. Placed within the cornerstone was a metal box which contained a Bible, a list of county officials and clerks, a 1905 edition of the Wilkes-Barre Record Almanac, the Smull Legislative Hand Book, copies of local newspapers (Bratstvo, Hazleton Plain Speaker, Hazleton Sentinel, Hazleton Standard, Pittson Gazette, Wilkes-Barre Leader, Wilkes-Barre Record, Wilkes-Barre News, Wilkes-Barre Times), historic photographs (Good Will No. 2 Fire Department, Wilkes-Barre, 1866; Protection No. 1 Fire Department, Wilkes-Barre, 1866; Wilkes-Barre Fire Department, 1866 and 1892; Wyoming No. 3 Fire Department, Wilkes-Barre, 1866; the old and new courthouses; a birds eye view of Wilkes-Barre and a view of the river common; the Central Methodist Episcopal Church, Derr Memorial and Market Street bridge; and scenes from the 1904 flood); a program from the old courthouse&#39;s cornerstone laying, August 12, 1856; a one-dollar bill provided by Wilson J. Smith; and a centennial button. Judge Ferris presided over the brief event.</p><br>
<p>Designed by architect Frederick John Osterling (1865–1934), the courthouse was built between 1906 and 1909. It is a cruciform plan building in the Classical Revival style, with a domed central rotunda 53 feet in diameter. It is built of Ohio sandstone, reinforced concrete, and terra cotta. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.</p><br>
<p>Fifty-six portraits of men associated with the development of Pennsylvanias Wyoming Valley were painted in groups of four on the buildings vaulted ceiling. Many were judges, associate judges or other officeholders. President judges of the courts of Luzerne County who were depicted included: John Handley (1835-1895); John B.

<p>Also represented in the portraits collection were: Pennsylvania Governor Henry M. Hoyt (1830-1892); American Revolutionary War soldier and judge Matthias Hollenback (1752-1829); Governor and former Supreme Court Justice Thomas McKean (1734-1817); Revolutionary War officer Zebulon Butler (1731-1795); French and Indian War officer Eliphalet Dyer (1721-1807); John Wilkes and Isaac Barre, for whom the town of Wilkes-Barre was named; John Durkee, who laid out the town of Wilkes-Barre; Count Nicolaus Zinzendorf (1700-1760), a German religious and social reformer and bishop of the Moravian Church who helped Conrad Weiser negotiate agreements with the Iroquois in the Wyoming Valley; and Thomas Penn (1702-1775), a colonial governor of Pennsylvania.</p><br>
<p>In addition, the foyers ceiling, which was created by Arthur Brounet of New York, was divided into diamond-shaped panels in recognition of Wilkes-Barres nickname as "The Diamond City," and decorated with multiple figures, including a female form representing Luzerne County (center panel), and panels representing Bradford, Lackawanna, Susquehanna, and Wyoming counties, the four political divisions in Pennsylvania from which lands were taken to form Luzerne County.</p><br>
<p>Other sections of the courthouse feature paintings depicting the purchase of the land from Indians by the Susquehanna Company at Albany in July 1754, the construction of the first houses in the Wyoming Valley, which were built for Teedyuscung and the Delaware people, the history and methods of transportation in the valley, including an ox cart, canal packet boat, and train, the Pennamite–Yankee War (1774), and a portrait of Anne-César de La Luzerne, the man for whom Luzerne County was named.</p><br>
<p>And the first floor&#39;s corridors were designed with mosaics of a book and lamp, symbolizing knowledge, a pair of scales, symbolizing justice, and an hour glass, which symbolizes the fleeting nature of time while cameos on the second floor evoked the positive attributes of conscience, courage, fortitude, good governance, knowledge, patriotism, understanding, and virtue. Archways throughout the building were ornamented with representations of: air, earth, fire, and wind, electricity, minerals, steam, and water.</p><br>
<p>Many of the larger paintings were created in oil on canvass by Vincent Aderente of Jersey City while a significant number of the smaller works, including the east corridor lunettes, were created by Robert Benvenuti of New York.</p><br>
<p>The dome, which was topped with a skylight featuring a colorful version of the Luzerne County seal, was adorned with twelve allegorical paintings depicting: abundance, art, equality, freedom, force, independence, justice, peace, philosophy, science, truth, and wisdom. At the domes base, four large figures were installed to illustrate the attributes of Americas legal system. Inscribed under the figure of moral law is the Latin phrase, "Hic fons Aequitatis" ("This is the fountainhead of all justice"). The phrase "Mos pro Lece" ("Usage has force of law") accompanied the figure of common law while statute law and equity law were described, respectively, by "Lex Appetit" ("The law aims at perfection") and "Aequitas Sequitur" ("Equity follows the law"). Much of the artwork featured in the dome was created by U. Pastore of Scranton and Frederick Stohr.</p><br>
<h3>Centennial celebration</h3><br>
<p>The courthouse was rededicated in late September 2009 during centennial celebrations that included a keynote address by Pennsylvania Supreme Court Justice Max Baer and an audiovisual presentation by Anthony Brooks, president of the Luzerne County Historical Society, which provided attendees with an overview of the courthouses construction. Multiple members of the countys judicial system were in attendance at the event, which took place during the morning of Friday, September 25, the anniversary date of the county&#39;s formation in 1786. The weekend celebration also included a dinner dance and gala during the evening of September 26 and a 5K walk/run on Sunday, September 27, which raised funds for Luzerne County Special Olympics programs and was sponsored by the Wilkes-Barre Law and Library Association. The majority of expenses for the three-day event were covered by donations from sponsors and patrons with proceeds from the gala subsequently used for courthouse restoration efforts.</p><br>
<h3>21st century restoration</h3><br>
<p>Citing a century of damage, the county contracted Connecticut-based John Canning Studios for a $2.13 million restoration and conservation project. Having been in the building since the summer of 2017, technicians and artisans have repaired a multitude of artwork and design damaged by past water leakage, efflorescence, high-wattage lighting, cigarette smoke, and neglect. An LED lighting system that will illuminate the dome for 20 to 30 years without harming the finishes was engineered. Only six of the 60 dome lights had been working. The project ended in April 2018, when remaining scaffolding came down.</p><br>

<p>The Nevada–California–Oregon Railway Passenger Station  is a historic train station in Lakeview, Oregon, United States. It was built in 1912 by contractor I. A. Underwood from plans by architect Frederic DeLongchamps. It was the northern terminus of the Nevada–California–Oregon Railway. The Southern Pacific Railroad company owned and operated the depot from 1928 until 1975, when it was closed. Since 1978, the building has been used as a law office and later a private residence. Because of its importance to local history, the depot was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The town of Lakeview was established in 1876. The community grew slowly because of its isolated frontier location. In May 1900, a large fire destroyed 64 of the town&#39;s 66 buildings, leaving 700 residents homeless. Most of the homes and business structures were replaced by October of that year. Much of the reconstruction was financed by Doctor Bernard Daly, a local physician, banker, and businessman. A study prepared for the Town of Lakeview Planning Office, Bend, Oregon.</p><br>
<p>In 1908, a new county courthouse was built in the center of town on the south side of Center Street (the towns main east-west street) between E Street and F Street (the towns main north-south streets). In 1912, the Nevada–California–Oregon Railway reached Lakeview, spurring commercial growth in the community. In the two years following the arrival of the railroad, over $200,000 was invested in Lakeviews downtown business area. One of the most important buildings constructed during this period was the Nevada–California–Oregon Railway Passenger Station. The station cost $15,000 to build. It was dedicated on 5 November 1912. The only two local construction projects undertaken during this period that were more costly were the Heryford Brothers Building and Lakeviews high school building.</p><br>
<p>In 1928, the Nevada–California–Oregon Railway was acquired by the Southern Pacific Railroad. Passenger service to Lakeview was discontinued in 1937. Southern Pacific continued its freight service until 1975, when the depot was closed. Beginning in 1978, the building was leased for use as a law office and residence. After a legal battle over the property&#39;s title, the depot building and approximately 0.5 acre of land surrounding it were conveyed to a private owner.</p><br>
<p>The Lakeview Depot is significant because it is an intact example of early 20th century railroad station architecture in eastern Oregon. It is also the only documented example of an Oregon building designed by Frederick J. DeLongchamps. Because of its architectural interest and the important role it played in the commercial development of Lakeview, the Nevada–California–Oregon Railway Passenger Station was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on 22 August 1983. Today, the depot is privately owned.</p><br>
<h2>Structure</h2><br>
<p>The historic Nevada–California–Oregon passenger station is located on the western edge of Lakeview, facing a T-intersection. Center Street, the citys main east-west street, ends at N Street immediately in front of the depot. The building is set parallel with the north-south oriented railroad tracks. The depots main entrance faces east, looking out across a small parking lot and directly up Center Street. The property to the north, south, and west of the depot is undeveloped. The rear of the building faces the railroad tracks, which are located approximately 30 ft from the station&#39;s rear entrance.</p><br>
<p>The Lakeview Depot was designed by Frederick J. DeLongchamps, a well known regional architect with offices in San Francisco and Reno. The depot was constructed by I. A. (Andy) Underwood, a prominent Lakeview builder. The depot is a two-story Mission Revival style structure with some Prairie School architectural influences. It is a brick masonry structure built on a concrete foundation with a footprint measuring 60 ft by 30 ft. The depot has a hip roof, covered with tin sheets stamped to look like mission tiles. The structure has wide overhanging eaves supported by large triangular brackets set in pairs. There is an arcade style pavilion attached to the south end of the building. The pavilion is covered by curvilinear gable typical of the California Mission style. The banks of windows under the overhanging eaves and a prominent belt course of masonry high on the exterior walls are typical of the Prairie School architecture. These exterior features are all common characteristics of railroad passenger stations constructed during the period just prior to World War I.</p><br>
<p>The depot&#39;s trim features are of rock-faced ashlar. The original tile marquee is located above the double-doors main passenger entrance. Ceramic tile is also used in a lozenge-shaped decorative accent on the south face of the pavilion at the south end of the building. The depot windows are double-hung sash. They have small panes in the upper sash with a single pane below. The baggage room doors are double-leaf with an arched header.</p><br>
<p>The ground floor interior is typical of railroad passenger stations of that era. The old telegraph office is located on the west side of the building overlooking the railroad tracks. This allowed the telegraph operator to see incoming trains from inside the building. The waiting room is located at the south end of the building. The baggage and freight room is located at the north end with the railroad agent&#39;s office in between. The second story was designed to be the living quarters for the station master.</p><br>
<p>The depots exterior is unaltered from its original design and the interior is structurally intact except for a false ceiling installed in the passenger waiting room. The date of this alteration is unknown. The stations original equipment and furnishings were removed after Southern Pacific abandoned the building in 1975. Beginning in 1978, private owners replaced damaged window frames and rotted floorboards in the waiting room. Plaster walls have also been patched and refinished. The interior doors, window trim, staircase, and exposed ceiling beams have been stripped and refinished to restore their original form and treatment.</p><br>

<p>The Market Street Bridge is a distinguished concrete arch bridge that crosses the Susquehanna River between Kingston and Wilkes-Barre, Luzerne County, Pennsylvania.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.</p><br>
<h2>History and notable features</h2><br>
<p>This bridge was designed by the architectural firm of Carrère and Hastings with consulting engineers Benjamin H. Davis and David A. Keefe, and was built between 1926 and 1929. The bridge is 1,274.3 ft with twelve spans, including four main spans measuring 120 ft each. Six of the twelve arches are open spandrels.</p><br>
<p>The architects designed four triumphal arches (or pylons) surmounted by limestone eagles with partially spread wings, intended as a memorial to veterans of the First World War. The paired pylons, two at each side of the bridge, are connected by a classical balustrade running the full length of the bridge.</p><br>
<p>In 1988, the bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>Ashley Planes was a historic freight cable railroad situated along three separately powered inclined plane sections located between Ashley, Pennsylvania at the foot, and via the Solomon cutting the yard in Mountain Top over 1,000 ft above and initially built between 1837 and 1838 by Lehigh Coal & Navigation Company&#39;s subsidiary Lehigh and Susquehanna Railroad .</p><br>
<p>One result of the 1837 updates of omnibus transportation bills called the Main Line of Public Works (1824), the legislation was undertaken with an eye to enhance and better connect eastern settlement&#39;s business interests with newer mid-western territories rapidly undergoing population explosions in the Pre–Civil War era. But those manufactories needed a source of heat, and Coal Region of Northeastern Pennsylvania was barely connected to eastern markets except by pack mule, or only through long and arduous routes down the Susquehanna River then over land to Philadelphia.</p><br>
<p>The Ashley Planes job was to join two railroad sections at either elevation and bridge over the drainage divide between the Susquehanna Valley and that of the Lehigh and Delaware Valleys. It was purpose-built to join the freight capacity of two canals, the Pennsylvania Canal System, locally the West Susquehanna Division at Pittston, and the Lehigh Canal and via the Susquehanna River, connect to other transportation infrastructure between Philadelphia and Pittsburgh. The Planes role, specified in the legislation, was to connect the seaports of the Delaware River with the new interior settlements of the near-midwest along the tributary rivers of the vast Mississippi River drainage basin. It was designed during the mid-canal era as part of an overall strategic schema to lift heavy freight eastwards out of the Susquehanna Valley in suburban Wilkes-Barre into the eastside descents, which gravity aided to the canal head and thence using cheap practical water transport ended feeding much needed coal into all the big coastal cities of the Eastern United States accessible via the Delaware Valley, and to transoceanic destinations.</p><br>
<p>This connecting road was an important link that connected Pittsburgh, the Ohio River, and the midwest to the eastern coastal cities via Pennsylvania&#39;s canal system and later, other railroads, the shortest path at the time. In the late 1830s, the current mobile steam locomotives were still in the early stages of development and relatively weak and underpowered compared to those available in the 1850s. As a result of this lack of viable rail transport, political planners, and businessmen regarded canals and water transport via barges over natural water features as the only pragmatic means of shipping bulk goods.</p><br>
<p>The Planes were built in 1837 to 1838 by the Lehigh Coal & Navigation Company (LC&N) in Luzerne County, Pennsylvania. They were built concurrently with rail lines and an extension of the Lehigh Canal. The Planes were connected by rail to the Pennsylvania Canal sending goods and passengers west and via Mountain Top by rail to White Haven. The Mountain Top to White Haven route also sent Northern Coal Region anthracite down the newly extended Lehigh Canal. The incline railroads were located at Fairview Township and Hanover Township. Before and after loading, coal hoppers would be staged from the Central Railroad of New Jersey&#39;s (CNJ) Mountain Top Yard, which was leased from LH&S from the 1870s in nearby Mountain Top, Pennsylvania. The three railroads were built in 1837, the 1860s, and 1909, and feature a stationary power source using cable winding and winching and cars traveling down as a counterweight to a car being lifted on parallel tracks.</p><br>
<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.</p><br>
<h2>Operations</h2><br>
<p>The thousand foot lift of the cable railway was not continuous. The initial two and later three sections of the Ashley Planes railroad was capable of operation as a funicular railroad or a cable railroad, for its hoist houses all used a pusher cart called a barney hooked into a continuous cable in the same way as a modern ski lift uses a continuous cable.</p><br>
<p>Like a ski lift, the railway was operated from a standing engine by an operator in control of a winch, clutch and brake. A helper spotted cars below a short local drop to an area upslope of the barney house, where the cable and pusher cart would drop into on one end (heading down) and rise out of on the other to engage the freight cars and push them upwards. The axle on the barneys telescoped so that at the barney house entrance the barney&#39;s wheels slide inside and dropped under the plane of the standard width railroad tracks so the barney could slide away and let gravity take the consist onto the marshaling yard. When using funicular action, as it did sending returns down during its early years the rails split connecting two pairs of tracks bulging out in a vase-like shape in a passing area, so the railway could ship freight downhill east to west as well as the heavy operations west to east which predominated until its closing. In the earliest years of operation, there was no back track to return cars to the bottom for refilling, and they had to be returned on the Planes, thus slowing and complicating the lift operations.</p><br>
<p>When stopping cars from rolling free, the barneys had to be positioned below the cars, and since the upsides are uphill from the barney house opening, that meant a latch (brake system) had to hold a string of empties above the barney before it emerged from hiding its little tunnel. It also means the barney was moving down hill and away from the latched cars which would then accelerate and bang into the small barneys with considerable force, part of which was transmitted via the cables to everything in the system. It was actually easier to lift cars waiting at a latch for a barney than it was to drop cars down safely onto a moving barney. In the 1860s, the LH&S completed tracks along the right bank of the Lehigh through the Lehigh Gorge to Mauch Chunk, now Jim Thorpe, and its trackage to the Delaware Valley, especially the Delaware Canal to Philadelphia markets and rail connections at Easton via the industrial centers of Allentown and Bethlehem, Pennsylvania.</p><br>
<p>These inclined plane railbeds were used for the transportation of anthracite coal. The railroads were in use until 1948.</p><br>
<p>The Paddock Viaduct, also known as the Main Street Viaduct, is a reinforced concrete bridge spanning the Trinity River in Fort Worth, Texas. Low-water crossings and ferries originally provided the only access across the Trinity River at this location, connecting the downtown area of Fort Worth with northern sections of the city. A two-lane suspension bridge, constructed near this site in the 1890s, proved inadequate for the growing population. This span, designed by the St. Louis engineering firm of Brenneke and Fay, was completed in 1914. It was the first reinforced concrete arch in the nation to use self-supporting, reinforcing steel. The bridge is named in honor of B. B. Paddock, former State Legislator and Mayor of the City .</p><br>
<p>The bridge was built in 1913 and renovated in 1965 and 1988. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on March 15, 1976.</p><br>

<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Stoddartsville was founded by John Stoddart in 1815, who partnered with Josiah White (of the Lehigh Coal and Navigation Co.) to improve navigation on the Lehigh River. Stoddart imagined a canal town with mills, shops, taverns and homes. The dams only allowed for a one-way canal, which was not ideal because arriving barges would need to be broken up and sold. As the mining industry in Luzerne County grew, two-way canals became an option, and Stoddart had hoped to extend a two-way canal by 12 miles from White Haven to Stoddartsville, but plans were abandoned when the estimated cost for such expansion to the Lehigh Coal and Navigation Company was deemed too great. Over the years, the town became a vacation community filled with cottages.</p><br>
<p>Stoddartsville saw its share of misfortune, from floods in 1862 and fires in the 1950s. With the growth of resorts in the Pocono Mountains, visitors to Stoddartsville waned and it became a private, residential area.</p><br>
<h2>Preservation</h2><br>
<p>Through the efforts of John L. Butler Jr., the village of Stoddartsville was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on November 12, 1998. As direct descendants of John Stoddart, the Butler family has had close ties to Stoddartsville for generations. During his lifetime, John Butler Jr. amassed a collection of artifacts, photographs, and documentation of the village. In 2001, John and Haney Butler began construction of a Historic Center and hosted tours to share the history of Stoddartsville. Mr. Butler retained ownership of the Historic Center and Stoddartsville Cemetery until his death in August 2010, shortly after the founding of the Stoddartsville Preservation Society Inc. (SPS). The SPS acquired both properties in 2011 and continues to hold tours and meetings with a mission to preserve Stoddartsville and carry on his legacy. The Historic Center is open for visitors on the first Saturday during the months of May through October, or by appointment.</p><br>
<p>As of Spring 2024, 288 cemetery burials have been extensively documented by the Stoddartsville Preservation Society.</p><br>

Lenthall was a trained architect who was born in England in 1762 and was the great-grandson of Sir William Lenthall, who was Speaker of the House of Commons. He moved to Washington around 1793 and was chosen by Benjamin Latrobe as his principal assistant on his project to build the United States Capitol in 1803. His wife, Jane King, whom he married in either 1801 or 1802, was the daughter and sister of the surveyors of the District of Columbia. Lenthall was killed in September 1808 when one of the arches in the Supreme Court chamber collapsed.</p><br>
<p>The house at 610 21st Street NW stayed in the Lenthall family until 1902 when it was sold. It was eventually purchased by Washington artist Bertha Noyes. The Arts Club of Washington was founded in her home in 1916. Noyes deeded the property to George Washington University upon her death in 1966. The house at 606 21st Street, NW was deeded to William Francis in August 1808. He in turn deeded the property away the following day. George Washington University acquired the house in the 1970s. The structures were moved to their current location on August 5, 1978.</p><br>

<p>Lakeport Plantation is a historic antebellum plantation house located near Lake Village, Arkansas. It was built around 1859 by Lycurgus Johnson with the profits of slave labor. The house was restored between 2003 and 2008 and is now a part of Arkansas State University as a Heritage site museum.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The plantation was established in 1831 by Joel Johnson, from a prominent planter family in Scott County, Kentucky. He arrived with 23 enslaved people and set up a slave labor camp to produce cotton, an endeavor that made him one of the wealthiest and most influential men in the state.</p><br>
<p>Joel Johnson died in 1846, leaving the plantation&#39;s ownership in legal dispute. In 1857, his son Lycurgus Johnson, a successful operator of his own slave labor camp, acquired the title to Lakeport. He also took over the enslavement of 88 people. By 1850, he had 2,850 acres of land and 95 slaves.</p><br>
<p>The plantation&#39;s mansion was built around 1859 in the Greek Revival architectural style. By 1860, owned more than 155 slaves, and forced them to work some 4,000 acres of land at Lakeport and his other Arkansas properties. Records show that most of the enslaved people were field hands, but some were masons, house-hold servants, and carpenters. Plantation life was exhausting for those forced to work it; many worked six days a week with only one day off, typically Sunday.</p><br>
<p>The plantation was highly profitable as cotton prices increased with European demand, though the Civil War took a toll on Johnsons fortunes. Confederate forces burned 158 bales of the plantations cotton in 1862 to prevent its capture by Union forces.</p><br>
<p>Tax records show that by 1864 the number of people enslaved at Lakeport had declined to 24, as many former slaves fled after Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation. The end of the Civil War resulted in the emancipation of the remaining enslaved people. While they obtained their freedom, they still held limited rights and faced continued discrimination and oppression in Arkansas. The Freedmen&#39;s Bureau was created to help freedmen, transitioning many into sharecropping and tenant farming. Lycurgus worked closely with the Bureau and negotiated wages for the no-longer-enslaved people to labor on his plantation and continue to grow cotton. Within a few years, many of the freedmen worked for Johnson either as paid laborers or as sharecroppers, as other jobs were few in the agricultural delta. He became well known in the county because he managed to continue to profit despite the war and subsequent flooding and economic depression. Lakeport was among the leading cotton producers in Chicot County in 1870.</p><br>
<p>The plantation went through several changes after Lycurgus Johnson died on August 1, 1876, as a result of complications from a gastrointestinal disorder. His wife Lydia owned it until she died in December 1898, when it passed to the youngest son, Victor Johnson. It remained in the Johnson family until 1927 when Victor sold it to the Sam Epstein family.</p><br>
<h2>Legacy</h2><br>
<p>In 1974 the plantation was placed on the National Register of Historic Places. It was donated by the Sam Epstein Angel family to Arkansas State University in 2001.</p><br>
<p>Restoration of the plantation began in 2003 and finished in 2007. Some of the restored parts were the doors, floorcloth, mantel, rose window in the attic, and the smokehouse in the back of the property. In 2007, it opened as a public museum. The plantation house is surrounded by cotton fields that are harvested every year.</p><br>
