<p>The Julia Morgan Theater, located in the former St. Johns Presbyterian Church, is a historic building in Berkeley, California designed by architect Julia Morgan. The wooden building at 2640 College Avenue is built in the American Craftsman style with an exterior wood-shingle finish known as Berkeley Brown Shingle. The church building was desanctified and sold when the congregation moved to a new building in 1974. It now houses the Berkeley Playhouse. The structure is #8 on the city of Berkeleys list of historic landmarks. In 1975 it was added to the National Register of Historic Places .</p><br>
<h2>Church</h2><br>
<p>The church was organized in 1907 to serve the influx of people moving from San Francisco to Berkeley after the 1906 San Francisco earthquake, and the church building was completed in 1910. The church was named to honor St. Johns Presbyterian Church in San Francisco, which many of the new congregants had attended and whose pastor, Dr. George Granville Eldridge, became the founding pastor of St. Johns in Berkeley. Subsequent pastors included Dr. Stanley Armstrong Hunter (1924-1954), Dr. James Comfort Smith (1954-1970), Dr. Robert A. McKenzie (1970-1983), Dr. Thomas McKnight (1984-2001), and Dr. Max Lynn (2002–present).</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>Julia Morgan and her assistant Walter Steilberg chose a design with broad gables and a stained shingle exterior. The redwood paneled interior leaves the wooden beams and trusses completely exposed, while smoked glass clerestory windows provide most of the light. "This structural exhibitionism forms a worship space of great visual interest. … The small scale of the church and the warm color of the wood help create a cozy and restful space while the plain lumber serves to remind one of God&#39;s creation—the unadorned beauty of natural materials." Morgan herself considered it to be her best Craftsman building.</p><br>
<h2>Arts center and theater</h2><br>
<p>In 1974-75 the congregation moved to a new modern sanctuary at 2727 College Avenue, and the fate of the Julia Morgan building was uncertain. The desire to preserve it from demolition was the major catalyst leading to the formation of the Berkeley Architectural Heritage Association in 1974. The building seemed suitable for use as an arts center, and after a brief incarnation as the Center for World Music, the Julia Morgan Center for the Arts took over the building in 1980. It housed the Berkeley Opera, the Berkeley Ballet Theater, and various theatrical productions as well as arts classes. In 2009 the Julia Morgan Center merged with the Berkeley Playhouse, a theater company founded in 2007 by artistic director Elizabeth McKoy. The Playhouse produces several plays and musicals per year, as well as offering theatrical instruction for a variety of ages and skill levels. The building is known as the Julia Morgan Theatre.</p><br>

<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Jacob Strouds grist mill was located on or near the site by McMichaels Creek in the late 18th century. In 1865 "Stroudsburg Mills" was established on the site with a new building to weave wool. It closed in 1873. It is not clear whether any of the earlier buildings were incorporated into the current buildings.</p><br>
<p>Thomas Kitson (1840-1900) worked in woolen mills from an early age in his native England, and immigrated to the United States at age 19, where he worked at a Catskills mill in New York. In partnership with William Wallace he re-established the mill in 1873 on lower Main Street in Stroudsburg. Within ten years Kitson became the sole owner and the mill increased from 13 employees to 115 employees with an annual profit of $400,000. By 1886 the mill produced 14,000 yards of 54 inch wide wool cloth per month that was sold in New York City.</p><br>
<p>The mill was originally run by water power and the mill race is located under the mill. Partial steam power was added in 1888 and full steam power in 1893. New construction nearly doubled the size of the mill in 1898.</p><br>
<p>Kitson and the mill are known for setting an unusual world record on May 18, 1898, the shortest time to make a suit of clothes starting from un-sheared sheep. The previous world record was an even 8 hours, set by a Scottish mill. At 6:30 a.m. 6 sheep were brought in to be sheared by six employees. A total of 18 workers sorted, cleaned, dyed, dried, and carded the wool, then spun it into yarn. Cloth, in a black and white checkered pattern, was then woven from the yarn.</p><br>
<p>The next step in the process was to have the cloth made into a suit. Jacob Marks, a Stroudsburg tailor, sewed the suit in 2½ hours with the help of five assistants. The suit was delivered to Kitson&#39;s house in a total of 6 hours and 4 minutes. He then wore the suit to a party at the Washington Hotel, with the participating workers and prominent local businessmen joining in. Lamb was served for dinner.</p><br>
<p>After Kitson died in 1900, his son, Thomas J. Kitson, took over the business until 1920 when he died. The mill was sold at a Sheriff&#39;s sale in January 1930 and stood vacant for a few years. In 1933 the Holland Thread Company acquired the building and operated in it until 1978.</p><br>

<p>The Redoubt St. Archangel Michael Site, also known as the Old Sitka Site and now in Old Sitka State Historical Park, is a National Historic Landmark near Sitka, Alaska. Now of archaeological interest, the site, about 7 mi north of Sitka at the end of Halibut Point Road, was the site of the early Russian-American Company settlement known as Redoubt St. Archangel Michael . It was the first non-Native settlement on Baranof Island. It was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1962, and was made a state park in 1966.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In 1779, Alexander Baranov, a leader of the Russian-American Company, arrived near the site of modern Sitka, and negotiated with the local Tlingit people for a site on which the company could establish an outpost. Although he would have preferred what is now called Castle Hill in Sitka, he was granted this site on Starrigavan Bay. It was not until 1799 that the company established a presence, building a number of log buildings, surrounded by a palisade. In 1802 the Tlingit attacked and destroyed the premises. The Russians returned to the area in force in 1804, and established a permanent presence at Castle Hill after the Battle of Sitka. Replacements were built in 1808, 1823, 1836 and 1894. In 1900 an agricultural station was built and demolished after 1955.</p><br>
<p>The site was excavated in 1934-35, at which time archaeologists recovered numerous artifacts and identified the locations of the Russian buildings of the former redoubt. In the years that followed the site was partially compromised by erosion and construction activity. 1 The state built a wayside stop at the site in 1966, and now operates it as a state park. It was designated a National Historic Landmark (as "Redoubt St. Archangel Michael Site") in 1962, and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1966 (as "Old Sitka Site").</p><br>
<p>The Skunk River Bridge is a Warren truss bridge that crosses Skunk River near Ames, Iowa in Story County, Iowa. It was built in 1876, and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>In 1876, Story County Supervisors contracted with King Iron Bridge Company to build three iron truss bridges, the longest of which would cross the Skunk River, just east of Cambridge, Iowa. The Cambridge bridge had an 80 ft truss, and its 3 spans had a combined length of 163 ft. This bridge was used frequently, and underwent occasional repairs. By 1916, it was no longer sufficient to handle the traffic on its road. It was subsequently replaced and moved to its present location, southeast of Ames, Iowa. The bridge was used lightly until 1990, when the road it was on was abandoned. It is still standing, but has fallen into a state of disrepair.</p><br>
<p>This bridge was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1998. It was one of only a few Warren truss iron bridges built in Iowa in the late 19th century, and was an important transportation resource during a time of great growth in Story County.</p><br>
<p>The Trujillo Homesteads are a historic ranch site near Mosca, Alamosa County, Colorado, not far from the Great Sand Dunes National Park. The area was first settled in the 1860s by Teofilo Trujillo, a Mexican sheep farmer. His son Pedro built a log cabin house beginning in 1879, along with other ranch outbuildings and structures. In 1902 the elder Trujillo&#39;s home was destroyed by fire during conflicts between English-speaking cattle ranchers and the Spanish Trujillos, who were by then major landowners in the area. The Trujillos sold their holdings, which became part the Medeno Zapata Ranch, now owned by The Nature Conservancy. The homestead area, including the surviving homestead and the ruins of the destroyed one, was declared a National Historic Landmark District in February 2012.</p><br>
<p>The homestead site covers about 11 acre in a remote rural setting northeast of Mosca. The site includes the archaeological site where Pedro Trujillo built his log cabin, the surviving ranch house (built 1879-1885), and a corral area dating to the Trujillo&#39;s ownership period. The ranch house is a two-story rectangular log structure, covered by a modern metal roof. The walls consist mainly of unhewn logs, joined at the corners with V notches. Daubing fills the gaps between the logs. The main facade faces east, and is three bays wide, with sash windows in the outer bays, and a simple wooden doorway at the center. A shed-roof leanto ell extends to the rear of the main block. The house is particularly unusual, in that Spanish settlers to the region more often built with adobe rather than wood.</p><br>
<p>The Gallinger Municipal Hospital Psychopathic Ward consisted of three hospital buildings in the Southeastern Quadrant of Washington, D.C., United States.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>These buildings were built in 1920–1923 to the Colonial Revival design of Washington architect Snowden Ashford. Local contractor George H. Wynne constructed the buildings for $766,200. By 1924 it had been featured in the journal Modern Hospital and was also described in 1928 in the standard text The American Hospital of the Twentieth Century.</p><br>
<p>The hospital was named for Senator Jacob Harold Gallinger of New Hampshire, who sponsored the bill for its construction in the Senate.</p><br>
<p>It was renamed D.C. General Hospital in 1953, and closed in 2001.</p><br>
<p>Construction of a prison on the site was planned in 1986, with preservationists contesting the plan until 1989. The buildings were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in February, 1989 and were demolished c. 1990.</p><br>
<p>Belleville High School, later Republic County Middle School, is a school building constructed in 1931 in Belleville, Kansas. Architect S. S. Voigt designed the school in the Collegiate Gothic style. The red brick building features a limestone foundation and detail work, multiple gable roofs and gabled dormers, and windows with quoined surrounds.</p><br>
<p>The building served as Bellevilles high school until 1962, then as the citys junior high school and middle school. At the end of the 2012–2013 school year, the school was closed and the property sold to a private developer, who declared his intention to convert it to an apartment complex dubbed Buffalo Apartments.</p><br>
<p>The school was added to the National Register of Historic Places on June 25, 2013.</p><br>
<p>The Clinch County Courthouse is the county courthouse of Clinch County, Georgia, in the United States. Located in the county seat of Homerville, the building was built in 1896 and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980. It is one of two National Register of Historic Places-listed sites in Clinch County, the other being the Old Clinch County Jail, which also was added to the Register in 1980.</p><br>
<p>The courthouse is designed in the Victorian functional style, with Classical Revival additions.</p><br>
<p>There is a historical marker at the intersection of Georgia State Route 37 and North Cemetery Road west of Homerville describing the first courthouse site from 1850, a private residence.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Clinch County was created by an 1850 act of the Georgia General Assembly, from portions of Lowndes and Ware counties. The act established a commission of five members responsible for choosing a county seat and building a county courthouse and provided that until the courthouse of build, elections and court sessions be held at the home of Jonathan Knight.</p><br>
<p>In 1852, the first courthouse was built. It was destroyed by fire in 1856. A second courthouse was built in 1859, but this too burned in a fire, in 1867. The third and current courthouse was completed in 1896. A 1936 Works Progress Administration project rehabilitated the courthouse and added an addition.</p><br>

<p>Redstone Castle, also known as Cleveholm or Osgood Castle, is a mansion south of Redstone, Colorado, United States. It is a large timber frame structure built in the early 20th century as the home of John C. Osgood, founder of the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company, in a simplified version of the Stick style. In 1971 it was added to the National Register of Historic Places, the first property in Pitkin County to be listed. It was later additionally listed as a contributing property to the Redstone Historic District.</p><br>
<p>The castle was at the south end of the planned company town of Redstone, meant by Osgood to be an improvement over the usual housing and conditions in Western mining towns of the late 19th century. Just across the Crystal River were the coke ovens that processed coal mined higher up in the mountains and loaded onto a rail line. Miners and cokers in the town lived in cottages with electricity and running water, considered luxury items at the time. At his mansion, Osgood, at the time one of the countrys richest men, entertained guests like Theodore Roosevelt, John D. Rockefeller and King Leopold of Belgium, who joined him on hunts. The lush interior features European antique furniture and work by Gustav Stickley and Louis Comfort Tiffany. Its design was supposedly based on the ancestral home of Osgoods wife Alma.</p><br>
<p>Redstone&#39;s prosperity ended within a decade, after Osgood lost control of the company, and he spent less time there. He returned to the property in the late 1920s to die. His wife tried to convert the house into a resort, but the Great Depression made that economically unviable; however, later owners were able to run it as a hotel into the 1990s.</p><br>
<p>A recent owner who tried to refurbish was indicted in a financial fraud scheme, and the Internal Revenue Service sold it to compensate victims in its first-ever online auction of seized real property. It was sold again in 2016, and after a renovation, owners Steve and April Carver opened a ten-room boutique hotel in the castle in November 2018. It is also open for daily public tours. The 2006 film The Prestige used the castle as a location.</p><br>
<h2>Buildings and grounds</h2><br>
<p>The mansion and its surviving outbuildings are located on 150 acre approximately one mile (1.6 km) south of Redstone at the south end of Redstone Boulevard, which makes a loop to form the house&#39;s main driveway. It is located on high ground overlooking the Crystal River and State Highway 133 to the west, at an elevation of almost 7,400 ft above sea level. On either side of the narrow valley are steep, undeveloped mountain slopes towards summits above 12,000 ft. They rise into White River National Forest, with the eastern slopes part of the Maroon Bells–Snowmass Wilderness between Redstone and Aspen.</p><br>
<h3>Exterior</h3><br>
<p>The main house sits at the east end of a cleared area that slopes up from the river, its west elevation visible from Highway 133. A walled terrace is attached to the southeast corner, and a cobbled courtyard on the east. The carriage path crossing it leads to the main entrance arch.</p><br>
<p>It is an irregularly shaped three-story structure on a foundation of locally quarried rough-cut sandstone, irregularly exposed due to the slope, that also serves as the facade material for most of the first story. Lighter-toned stone serves as trim on some of the arched windows, keystones and quoins.</p><br>
<p>Above the stone the house is faced in either wood shingles or stucco. Most windows are one-over-one double-hung sash windows. Those set in shingled faces are simply treated, while those in stone are trimmed in contrasting stone with radiating voussoirs.</p><br>
<p>On the south and west facades are oriel windows supported by brackets. There are some decorative half-timbered friezes. The sections have variously peaked or hipped shingled roofs, pierced by occasional hip-roofed dormers and four tall stone chimneys. At the southwest corner is a three-story octagonal tower with a conical roof and stone buttresses, complemented by two peaked-roof towers on the eastern (rear) elevation.</p><br>
<h3>Interior</h3><br>
<p>Inside, the houses 24,000 ft&sup2; are divided among 42 rooms. The first floor is dominated by the English-style Great Hall, with 18 ft ceilings and a large sandstone fireplace carved with Osgoods lion-based coat of arms and topped by a trophy elk mount. Three large brass globes designed by Louis Comfort Tiffany, themselves decorated with lions, pineapples and angels, light the room. A special "peeping window" in the ceiling allowed Alma Osgood to see how female visitors were dressed so that she could adjust her own attire before receiving them.</p><br>
<p>Persian carpets cover the floors in the hall and other first-floor rooms. Much of the furniture is antiques brought over from Europe by the Osgoods. The wooden paneling on the walls, made of English oak and Honduran mahogany, was designed by Gustav Stickley. The dining room reflects Russian tsarist tastes, with its hand-rubbed mahogany stained cherry red and covered with ruby velvet. The ceilings are finished in gold leaf.</p><br>
<p>The library, overlooking the front lawn, has a Persian theme, evoking the private railcars tycoons like Osgood traveled in. Its walls and shelves are of mahogany, topped with green leather stamped in gold leaf. On the ceiling is a gold leaf border, hand-stenciled in a peacock motif. A French-styled music parlor, meant as the ladies drawing room, has green silk damask walls, frescoed plaster ceiling and a Carrara marble fireplace topped with a diamond dust mirror. The corresponding gentlemans game room down in the basement has its original billiards and card tables.</p><br>
<p>Upstairs are the bedrooms for the Osgoods and their guests. All feature bathrooms with oversized claw-foot porcelain bathtubs and sinks. Each has a fireplace of Italian marble or colored tile paneling. In the south tower is a two-room suite whose domed ceiling has been painted with birds and flowers.</p><br>
<h3>Outbuildings</h3><br>
<p>Several of the original outbuildings remain. The northern of the two gatehouses is located on Redstone Boulevard. It is architecturally similar to the main house, with a rusticated stone foundation and shingled siding. At the roofline&#39;s overhanging eaves are decorative vergeboards. The gabled roof is pierced by similarly gabled dormers.</p><br>
<p>Closer to the house is a stable and carriage house. It, too, is similar to the main house, with a randomly laid stone foundation, shingled walls, towers and gabled dormers. Inside it has oak walls and a special glass case for the harnesses. It has been converted into a house. To the west, near the river, is a small open pagoda used for concerts in the summertime.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The history of the castle has three periods: Osgood&#39;s early trips to the Crystal Valley and plans for the estate, the realization of that dream, and the years since his death in which it has been used as a hotel.</p><br>
<h3>1882–1899: Osgood comes to the Crystal Valley</h3><br>
<p>A native of Brooklyn, New York, John C. Osgood first came to Colorado in 1882 to survey the state&#39;s coal resources for the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad. The next year, he formed the Colorado Fuel Company to supply the railroads with coal mined elsewhere. He intended to go into the mining business himself, and had his eye on the lands of the remote Crystal Valley, recently opened up to European settlement through a treaty with the Ute people, the Native American tribe that had long lived in the area.</p><br>
<p>During his surveys, Osgood had found that the valley&#39;s coal was of particularly high quality, low in ash and with few impurities. Coal that pure could not only be used as it was, it could be made into coke, useful in the production of steel.</p><br>
<p>For both the estate and the mining to happen, the valley had to be made accessible. Various schemes to build toll roads and railroads were launched over the next ten years, and some construction was undertaken, but not enough financing was available to complete them. In 1892 Osgood&#39;s company merged with its rival, the Colorado Coal and Iron Company, to form Colorado Fuel and Iron (CFI), the largest such concern in the West. The combined firm had the assets to borrow against, but in the wake of the Panic of 1893 and its effect in Colorado, where many mining towns including nearby Aspen went into precipitous decline when the federal government stopped buying their silver, it was difficult to find banks willing to lend enough to pay for the railroad extension down the valley.</p><br>
<h3>1899–1925: Estate years</h3><br>
<p>By 1899 the economy had improved. Osgood and CFI were able to build first the coke ovens, and then the company town of Redstone. Architect Theodore Boal designed small wooden cottages for the coke oven workers with running water and electricity, then luxury items rare in most Colorado mining towns. He adapted various contemporary architectural styles, particularly the Swiss chalet style, to the mountain setting.</p><br>
<p>For himself, Osgood had reserved and fenced off 4,200 acre, to which access was controlled by two gates. He had Boal design the mansion, which like the Redstone Inn to the north, then a dormitory for unmarried mine workers, used elements of the Tudor Revival style in addition to the Swiss Chalet forms. Originally it was intended to be a hunting lodge, as both Osgood and his Swedish-born wife, Alma, were avid outdoor sportspeople.</p><br>
<p>Additional outbuildings no longer extant include the southern gatehouse, similar to its northern counterpart with a rusticated foundation of local sandstone, Tudor arches, overhanging eaves, gabled dormer windows and half-timber detailing. Next to it the large wrought iron gates were in a large stone arch with Osgood&#39;s crest carved into the center and a bell.</p><br>
<p>Glaziers from New Jersey, then the center of the industry, were brought in to build a greenhouse, also no longer in existence. It consisted of an octagonal central pavilion and four radiating wings. Its southern entry used the same Tudor styling as the other buildings on the estate, with a half-timbered gabled entrance, decorative vergeboards and slanted lintels. It grew fresh flowers year-round, offsetting the valley&#39;s naturally short growing season.</p><br>
<p>A stone reservoir held water both for the extensive lawns and fire suppression. It was complemented with a hose house storing the linen and rubber hoses needed for both purposes. Neither are extant.</p><br>
<p>The stable was originally designed with both automobiles and horses in mind, reflecting the time of its construction. It also included a kennel for Osgood&#39;s hunting dogs. Horses were kept in a style almost as high as their owners, with paneled walls in their stalls and glass cases for their harnesses.</p><br>
<p>John and Alma Osgood lived in the house at nearby Crystal River ranch while they waited for the house to be complete. They entertained many prominent guests there. J.P. Morgan, Theodore Roosevelt, John D. Rockefeller and King Leopold II of Belgium came to enjoy the hunting on the private preserves, where elk and other game were abundant and rare bighorn sheep roamed (one of the stories told about the history of the house holds that Roosevelt took pleasure in shooting for game while standing on the mansion&#39;s front porch.) An extensive network of foot and bridle paths linked them with the house. After returning to the main house, guests shared dinner with their hosts, served on fine china with silver service, in the dining room. Following the meal, the women would retire to the music room with Alma while male guests would go downstairs to the game room and smoke cigars. A faint scent of cigar smoke can still be detected in the room.</p><br>
<p>These parties became less common after 1903. Interests controlled by Rockefellers family gained control of CFI. Osgood started the Victor American Fuel Company, which became CFIs chief competitor, but spent less time in the Crystal Valley and more in New York. In 1909 changes in the economy made the shipment of Crystal Valley coke unprofitable despite its quality, and the town and coke ovens were shut down. Almost overnight, Redstone was nearly abandoned.</p><br>
<p>Osgood closed down the estate in 1913, leaving it to the care of the dozen or so who had remained in Redstone. After serving as a spokesperson for the mining companies during the labor disputes the following year which culminated in the Ludlow massacre, he did not return to the Crystal Valley until 1925. Suffering from terminal cancer, he worked to the extent he could with his third wife, Lucille, to redevelop the property, including what remained of the town, as a resort.</p><br>
<h3>1926–present: Resort years</h3><br>
<p>In January 1926 Osgood died. His ashes were scattered over the valley. Lucille continued with the resort plans, but the onset of the Great Depression made that unworkable as too few people had the money to spare on trips to such a remote location. To make ends meet, she sold some of the major public buildings in the town, long out of use, and some of the estate&#39;s buildings like the southern gatehouse, for scrap. Some of these structures were moved—a part of the greenhouse still stands in Glenwood Springs. Finally, in the 1940s, she sold the house itself.</p><br>
<p>The coal mines were reopened by another company in the early 1950s. This revival gave the mansions new owner, Frank Kistler, who also owned the Hotel Colorado in Glenwood Springs, the impetus to tap into the houses potential as an all-season resort. He added a new wing to the building, and on the grounds built additional recreational facilities such as an enclosed swimming pool and tennis courts. The front lawn was converted into a golf course. The northern gatehouse was converted into a ski lodge after a ski lift was built.</p><br>
<p>While some of the remaining cottages and estate outbuildings did become second homes, the resort plans were not successful as the four ski areas at nearby Aspen were attracting all the skiers and contributing to that citys renaissance in the second half of the 20th century. Kistlers death in 1960 also stalled the plans. In 1974 the mansion was purchased by Kenneth E Johnson a newspaper publisher from Grand Junction Colorado. He oversaw a major restoration of the buildings and for a time kept it as a family home. During this time tours of the building were open to the public. The mansion was later opened as a Bed and Breakfast and for special events such as weddings and conferences. In 1997 Johnson sold the property to a Canadian company. They soon defaulted on the mortgage for the property, and it was foreclosed and sold at auction. Leon Harte, one of the new owners, said he hoped to make it a "party palace" with rock concerts on the front lawn.</p><br>
<p>In 2003 the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) seized it. Harte died two months later and the IRS announced that it would hold an online auction of the castle in March 2005, the first time it had ever disposed of a seized piece of real property that way. Bidders were required to put down a $100,000 deposit.</p><br>
<p>By the early 21st century Redstones population had grown to about 120, counting the remaining village and its environs. They were worried that a developer would buy it and demolish the castle, which they considered an important part of the communitys history, to build expensive homes for the Aspen-area market. They were not opposed to doing that on some of the property, but a few years earlier, one developer had proposed a 1,500-unit condominium on the site and the castle&#39;s demolition. The IRS allayed their concerns by putting in easements to protect about 13 acre around the castle and carriage house.</p><br>
<p>Interest in the auction was high. The page advertising the property received over 50,000 hits in the weeks leading up to it. Interest in bidding came from overseas as well as domestically. The winning bidder, Ralli Dimitrius, a developer who divided his time between Aspen and Southern California, paid $4 million. He did not disclose his identity as the buyer for almost a week. A dejected fellow bidder who felt the IRS had not given prospective buyers enough time to do due diligence offered him an additional million to sell it to her, but he refused.</p><br>
<p>Dimitrius planned to do extensive restoration on the property. In 2007, he reopened it for tours, bringing much-desired tourist traffic to Redstone. Four years later, the tours had proven so successful that they were expanded to every day rather than just weekends. In the meantime, Dimitrius restored the plumbing and heating, relined the chimneys, put in a new sprinkler system and had the roofs and gutters replaced and the exterior stucco repaired. As of 2011, he was awaiting approval from Pitkin County for a new sewage treatment system, needed if any sort of expanded resort operations were to resume or begin.</p><br>
<p>In September 2016, it was once again listed for auction, by Sotheby&#39;s. Two months later, it was sold to the owners of The Hotel Denver in Glenwood Springs who are continuing the historic tours and have opened up a ten-room, boutique hotel in the castle.</p><br>
<p>The John Sargent House is a historic house located at 225 SW Clay St. in Topeka, Kansas. The house is considered to be a leading example of Gothic Revival architecture in Kansas.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The two-story, ell-shaped, limestone, Late Gothic Revival house was built c. 1882, and stands on a limestone foundation and is surmounted by a cross-gabled, asphalt shingled roof. A two-story, gable roof, limestone addition to the west was added c. 1910. The building has a southeast facade orientation.</p><br>
<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on July 28, 1995</p><br>
<p>Eastern Michigan University Historic District is a historic district on the very south end of the Eastern Michigan University campus. Eastern Michigan University is a comprehensive, co-educational public university located in Ypsilanti, Michigan in Washtenaw County. The university was founded in 1849 as Michigan State Normal School. Several buildings since its founding have achieved historical significance and eventually establishing it on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984. The district was established in 1984.</p><br>
<h2>The district</h2><br>
<p>The Eastern Michigan University Historic District is set on an "L-shaped parcel" of land across from the Ypsilanti Water Tower (also on the NRHP). The EMUHD area contains Welch Hall, Starkweather hall, Sherzer Hall, and McKenny Hall. All four buildings are unique in their design and make up.</p><br>
<p>The four buildings are all substantial structures. Each building has a unique style and structure design. Beyond this each building was built at different times to serve unique purposes for the campus. The district was established in 1984.</p><br>
<h2>Buildings</h2><br>
<h3>McKenny Hall</h3><br>
<p>Previously called McKenny Union and Charles McKenny Union, was the first student union on the campus of a teachers college when it opened in 1931. McKenny hall was designed by Detroit architect Frank Eurich Jr. of Detroit. The building, in the collegiate gothic style with some art deco features. Today the building is known as McKenny Hall and is home to veteran services, human resources, and career services. After The EMU Student Center opened, McKenny closed in 2006 for renovations to preserve the buildings age. Since then the university uses the historic building as office space for various departments.</p><br>
<h3>Sherzer Hall</h3><br>
<p>Sherzer Hall is classroom building, which currently also houses Art Department studios. Sherzer Observatory, an astronomical observatory owned and operated by the Department of Physics and Astronomy, was established in 1878 with a gift from the citizens of Ypsilanti of a four-inch (102 mm) refractor. The observatory, originally located on Pierce Hall, was hit by a tornado and destroyed in 1893. It was then relocated to the roof of the new Natural Science Building in 1903. The architect of the building was E. W. Arnold of Battle Creek. The building has survived two fires, in 1973 and 1989.</p><br>
<h3>Starkweather Hall</h3><br>
<p>Starkweather Hall is the oldest building still standing on EMU&#39;s campus. Originally built for the Student Christian Association by a local philanthropist, Mrs. Starkweather. Eventually the building was given to the university and has housed various academic offices and programs. Today, the building is home to the Honors College. In parts of the building, the original doorknobs remain, bearing the initials "SCA" for the Student Christian Association.</p><br>
<h4>Architecture</h4><br>

Starkweather Hall was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1977. Buildings that sit near Starkweather Hall include Welch Hall, McKenny Hall, and Sherzer Hall.</p><br>
<h4>Honors college</h4><br>
<p>The EMU Honors Program started in 1984 with approximately 230 students. The program started under the guidance of Robert Holkeboer who was the dean of the Graduate School. In July 2005 the program became a college within the university. Today the Honors College Office are housed in Starkweather Hall.</p><br>
<h3>Welch Hall</h3><br>
<p>Welch Hall was constructed in 1895 and was completed three days after Starkweather Hall. Welch Hall is the second oldest building on the EMU campus. The building is named after Adonijah S. Welch. Welch served as the First President of Normal Training School. The building is designed after Georgian Revival Architecture style Architecture. The buildings original name was the "Training School" and served as the Teacher Training School from 1896 to the 1960s. During the buildings lifetime, Welch has served as classroom space and various department offices. A wing next to McKinny Union was removed in the late 1960s. Due to poor maintenance the building was closed during the 1980s and almost demolished, but was saved by the "Dont Squelsh Welsh" movement originating in the universitys historic preservation program.</p><br>
<h4>Architecture</h4><br>
<p>Welch has red-brick exteriors while Starkweather Hall has random ashlar masonry and clay tile cladding. Welch hall is a Georgian Revival style. Sherzers no-nonsense exterior has a few mildly Romanesque and Georgian elements but defies stylistic classification, McKenny Halls detailing is Art Deco but the structure alone is Tudor Revival. In 1984, Welch Hall was added to the National Register of Historic Places. Today, Welch Hall houses EMU&#39;s executive offices which includes the Office of the President. Welch Hall is the second oldest building on campus by three days behind Starkweather Hall.</p><br>
<p>The Menominee County Courthouse is a government building located on Tenth Avenue between Eighth and Tenth Streets in Menominee, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975 and designated a Michigan State Historic Site in 1974.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Menominee County was created in 1863, and included at the time the land that now covers Menominee, Iron, and Dickinson Counties. The county seat was established in Menominee, and a clerk&#39;s office and jail were quickly built. In 1874, county residents decided to build a courthouse, and bonds were sold to fund the construction. A new plot of land in Menominee was found and purchased for the courthouse, Contractors Cummings and Hagan were hired to build the courthouse, and construction began in 1874. The building was completed in 1875 at a cost of $29,680. The building originally housed a jail on the first floor, county offices on the second floor, and the courtroom on the third floor.</p><br>
<p>Additions to the building were completed in 1909 and 1938. The original connected jail and sheriff&#39;s residence were demolished later in the 20th century, but the courthouse itself was renovated in the early 1980s.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Menominee County Courthouse is a three-story Classical Revival building constructed of red brick, sitting on a rock-faced ashlar basement. The exterior walls are load-bearing, while the interior walls, floors, and roof are constructed of wood. Additional reinforcing of concrete and steel has been added during renovations. The building is ornamented with stone quoins and beltcourses separating the two upper stories. A hip roof with a belfry and wooden cupola tops the courthouse. The building has four symmetrical facades, each with slightly projected pavilions topped by triangular pediments. The entrance facade has a projecting foyer which was added to the building at a later date.</p><br>
<p>The original structure measured 48 ft by 60 ft, with a jail and sheriff&#39;s residence connected to the main building. The 1909 construction added a 16 ft by 20 ft entryway, and a more substantial addition was added to the building in 1938. With additions, the current courthouse houses 20,000 square feet of space.</p><br>
<p>The Baldwin-Wallace College South Campus Historic District is an area of land on the south end of the Baldwin Wallace University campus. When the district was established, the school was Baldwin-Wallace College. BW is a four-year private, coeducation, liberal arts college in Berea, Ohio, United States. The school was founded in 1845 as Baldwin Institute by Methodists settlers. Eventually the school merged with nearby German Wallace College in 1913 to become Baldwin-Wallace College, which adopted the present name in 2012. Several buildings since its founding have been established on the National Register of Historic Places, establishing this area as the Baldwin-Wallace College South Campus Historic District.</p><br>
<h2>The district</h2><br>
<p>The Baldwin-Wallace College South Campus Historic District includes a four-block area that is centered on Seminary Street. The south campus of Baldwin-Wallace College incorporates the former German Wallace College campus, which was centered on the mid-19th century site of the Lyceum Village Square. Both the college and the square are listed in the National Register of Historic Places as the Lyceum Village Square and German Wallace College Historic District in 1975. The Baldwin-Wallace College South Campus Historic District includes a total of 14 buildings and one structure.</p><br>
<p>The district features a variety of collegiate, religious, and residential buildings in a campus setting, mostly constructed of Berea sandstone and brick between 1866 and 1958, and representative of architectural styles from the late 19th and early 20th century including Gothic Revival, Richardsonian Romanesque, Romanesque Revival, High Victorian Gothic and Colonial Revival.</p><br>

<p>The Portland Railway, Light and Power Sellwood Division Carbarn Office and Clubhouse, also known as Carmens Clubhouse, in southeast Portland in the USA state of Oregon, is a former commercial transportation building listed on the National Register of Historic Places . Built in 1910 by the Portland Railway, Light and Power Company , it was added to the register in 2002. The structure was associated with Portlands street railway and interurban system of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.</p><br>
<p>Employees of PRL&Ps transit division often worked 365 days a year and were expected to perform a variety of tasks including selling tickets, collecting fares, operating and cleaning streetcars, and writing reports. The clubhouse offered a few amenities for these workers. Although the first floor of the two-story building was used mainly for the trainmasters office, a lost-and-found department, and record storage, it also included three shower-baths and a toilet. On the second floor were billiard tables, a gin rummy table, emergency sleeping rooms, and a reading room with books, desks, and writing materials. The furnace was in the basement, which also contained a toilet and a set of safe deposit boxes.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Sellwood Division clubhouse, carbarns, and power plant were part of Portland&#39;s interurban and city trolley system. After this system was expanded in 1889 from downtown Portland across the Willamette River on the Steel Bridge to Albina, it was gradually extended south along the east bank of the river. It reached Sellwood in 1892 and Oregon City in 1893.</p><br>
<p>Sellwood, originally an independent city, became part of Portland in 1893. As population increased on the east bank, the lines ridership rose, peaking around 1915 when the Sellwood Division maintained 110 city cars and 30 interurban cars. By 1926, these numbers had dropped to 70 and 22, as economic conditions and commuter habits changed in the age of the automobile and bus. The trainmens clubhouse closed in 1938; the last trolley ran in 1958. Although similar complexes were built for the Ankeny, Piedmont, and Savier divisions of the street railway system,</p><br>
<p>In 1939, the United States Forest Service took over the building for use by the Civilian Conservation Corps and bought the clubhouse and the car barns three years later. Through 1984 it used the clubhouse for storage and as a forest pest research center. After vacating the building, the Forest Service used the adjacent property and outbuildings for storage through 1993, selling everything (with a protective historic-resource covenant for the clubhouse) to private owners in 1996. Vacant until 2002, the building was restored, added to the NRHP, and turned into the home of the Dunthorpe Marketing Group.</p><br>
<p>The Janssens–Orella–Birk Building, also known as Janssens–Orella Building, was built in 1927 and considerably remodelled in 1937 and later in 1941. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987. The building is located on State Street, in the historical center of Santa Barbara, California.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The first adobe building on the site was constructed by Augustin Jansens, a Belgian native, and his wife, Maria Antonia Pico. In 1872, it was bought by a local landowner, Bruno Orella, also notable for Orella Adobes, and his wife, Mercedes Gonzalez. The descendants of the Orella family owned the building until the 1950s. From the original building, fragments of the walls are incorporated in the current structure.</p><br>
<p>In 1927, a new house in the Spanish Colonial Revival style was constructed. The project was designed by local architectural firm Edwards, Plunkett, and Howell. In 1932, the building was expanded, in 1946 remodeled, and in 1987 it was returned to the original 1937 shape. After World War II, the building hosted the Copper Coffee Pot restaurant established in memory of a doctor, John Manning, and managed by his wife. The restaurant was a popular social place. It closed on September 30, 1985. The last owner of the restaurant was Birk, hence the name of the building. Currently, the building is occupied by an Italian restaurant with a different name.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The Janssens–Orella–Birk Building is a two-floor structures which is L-shaped and has both flat roof and tile parts. The front of the building is on State Street, the main commercial street in downtown Santa Barbara, and it is located between two buildings constructed much later but built in a similar style. The exterior repeats the original 1927 design, whereas the interior has been considerably altered by later changes. The rear of the building faces a secondary passages and a parking lot. State Street runs on the slope of the hill and the building is therefore skewed.</p><br>
<p>The northeastern (facing State Street) facade features a balcony and is open as a central patio. On the left side of the patio, there is a wall fountain in the shape of a lion head.</p><br>
<p>East Brenham Historic District is residential area located northeast of downtown Brenham, Texas.</p><br>
<p>Comprising about nine city blocks, the district contains 79 contributing resources, primarily residential with a some commercial buildings and a church. The oldest building is an 1881 house, most of the buildings date from about 1875 to 1940.</p><br>
<p>The district was added to the National Register of Historic Places on March 29, 1990 as an example of a cohesive residential neighborhood from the late 19th to early 20th centuries.</p><br>

<p>The Bacardi Buildings are a landmark of Midtown Miami and served as the former headquarters of Bacardi USA. The site, located at 2100 Biscayne Boulevard, consists of the Bacardi Imports Tower and the Bacardi Imports Administration Annex, also known as "The Jewel Box". The tower and the annex were constructed in 1963 and 1973, respectively, and in 2018 they were added to the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>Bacardi complex</h2><br>
<p>The two buildings are located in a plaza at 2100 Biscayne Boulevard. The plaza sits directly above an underground parking garage and features a large painted Bacardi logo, which is visible to planes arriving at and departing from Miami International Airport. Both buildings are accessible from the parking garage via elevators.</p><br>
<h3>Bacardi Imports Tower</h3><br>
<p>The Bacardi Imports Tower, built in 1963, was the first of the two buildings to be constructed. It was commissioned by former Bacardi president José “Pepin” Bosch and designed by Cuban architect Enrique Gutierrez. Azulejo murals by Brazilian artist and ceramist Francisco Brennand cover two of the building&#39;s walls, giving it the nickname "the blue tile building".</p><br>
<h3>Bacardi Imports Administration Annex</h3><br>
<p>The administration annex was constructed ten years after the tower, in 1973, and was designed by Ignacio Carrera-Justiz of Coral Gables, Florida. It is referred to as "The Jewel Box" because of the colorful hammered-glass mosaic covering its four sides. The Mesoamerican-themed mosaic was designed by German artist Johannes M. Dietz.</p><br>
<h2>Induction into National Register of Historic Places</h2><br>
<p>Around 2009, Miami citizens began a campaign to label the buildings as "historic". University of Miami professor of architecture Allan Shulman said "Miami&#39;s brand is its identity as a tropical city. The Bacardi buildings are exactly the sort that resonate with our consciousness of what Miami is about". In 2007, Chad Oppenheim, the head of Oppenheim Architecture + Design, described the Bacardi buildings as "elegant, with a Modernist a local flavour."</p><br>
<p>On April 18, 2012, the American Institute of Architects&#39; Florida chapter placed the buildings on its list of Florida Architecture: 100 Years. 100 Places as Bacardi USA. The complex was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2018.</p><br>
<h2>Current status</h2><br>
<p>The Bacardi Buildings have been occupied by the National YoungArts Foundation since 2012.</p><br>
<p>The Summer Island site, designated 20DE4, is an archaeological site located on the northwest side of Summer Island, in Delta County, Michigan. It is classified as a stratified, multi-component site with Middle Woodland , Upper Mississippian  and Early Historic/Protohistoric occupations . It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1971.</p><br>
<h2>Site description</h2><br>
<p>The site lies in a sandy meadow about 20 feet above Summer Harbor on the northwest side of the island, and about "125 feet inland from the best canoe landing area in the entire bay." At the time it was first excavated, cultural material was evident on the surface of the site.</p><br>
<h2>Archaeological history</h2><br>
<p>As early as 1851, this site has been recorded as an abandoned Native American village which was occupied as late as 1770. In 1931, Wilbert B. Hinsdale included it in his Archaeological atlas of Michigan. The site was first excavated by George I. Quimby in 1959. Quimby was able to collect material from the surface, and dug some test pits, finding pot sherds and animal bones. David S. Brose conducted extensive excavations in 1967-68.</p><br>
<h2>Cultural history</h2><br>
<p>The site was most likely utilized by a number of different cultures. The earliest occupiers were likely Middle Woodland period peoples. A later part of the Summer Island site included hearths, a storage pit, and waste pits, and has been ascribed Upper Mississippian culture and Late Woodland period peoples. The inhabitants of the site likely occupied it in the late summer, and ate a variety of game, including mammals (moose and beaver), fish, birds, reptiles, and amphibians. The final occupiers had early French trade goods, indicating they likely used the site around 1620; they used the site as a late summer hunting camp.</p><br>
<p>A small fishing village of European settlers, believed to be associated with the fishing fleet from St. Martin Island, was established just north of the prehistoric archeological site in the 1800s. The village was occupied by fishermen through at least the end of the 19th century, and then by loggers from Fayette in the early 20th century.</p><br>
<h2>Results of 1967–1968 excavations</h2><br>
<p>The excavations yielded features, artifacts (both historic and prehistoric), animal bone, and plant remains.</p><br>
<h3>Features</h3><br>
<p>Numerous post molds were found in the Middle Woodland component, representing 4 house structures. Also present were 3 storage pits, 9 refuse pits, 6 hearths, 1 internal platform and 4 drying racks.</p><br>
<p>Features were also present in the Upper Mississippian (3 hearths, 5 refuse pits and 2 storage pits) and Early Historic (3 refuse pits, 1 storage pit and 2 hearths) components.</p><br>
<h3>Artifacts</h3><br>
<p>Artifacts recovered from the site included:</p><br>
<p>Pottery</p><br>
<p>Stone tools</p><br>
<p>Bone tools</p><br>
<p>Copper tools and artifacts</p><br>
<p>Trade beads</p><br>
<p>Iron trade artifacts</p><br>
<h3>Occupations and associated pottery types</h3><br>
<h4>Middle Woodland</h4><br>
<p>The Middle Woodland component was represented by a dense midden containing a rich variety of tools and potsherds. 112 vessels were present in this component. The following pottery types were identified:</p><br>
<p>Summer Island banked stamp – plain tool variety/oblique group, 21 vessels; dentate tool variety/oblique group, 13 vessels</p><br>
<p>Upper Peninsula Banked stamp – narrow tool variety/vertical group, 14 vessels; narrow tool variety/horizontal group, 5 vessels</p><br>
<p>Bay de Non Plain (unbossed variety, notched lip group) (13 vessels)</p><br>
<p>Upper Peninsula dragged stamp – dentate tool/oblique, 12 vessels; plain tool/oblique, 11 vessels</p><br>
<p>Upper Peninsula banked punctate – fingernail variety, 11 vessels; plain tool/chevron, 6 vessels</p><br>
<p>Upper Peninsula linear stamped – braided cord variety, 8 vessels; dentate tool variety, 5 vessels</p><br>
<p>Upper Peninsula linear incised (interrupted variety) (4 vessels)</p><br>
<p>With the large variety of types present, aided by a series of radiocarbon dates and comparisons with pottery of nearby sites, the site investigators present a fine-tuned ceramic chronology of the Middle Woodland in the Upper Great Lakes region. This component was radiocarbon-dated to between 70-250 A.D. and was part of the Northern Tier Middle Woodland tradition, which covered a vast amount of territory in present-day Canada and the northern United States, ranging from Winnipeg to the St. Lawrence.</p><br>
<h4>Upper Mississippian</h4><br>
<p>16 vessels were present in this component, which was radiocarbon dated to approximately 1290 A.D. The following types were present:</p><br>
<p>Carcajou plain (4 vessels) – characterized by shell tempering, smooth surface, globular pots with sharply everted rims and scalloped lips. This type has been reported at several Wisconsin and northern Michigan sites, including Rock Island II and Carcajou Point. Time Period: Late Prehistoric. Cultural Affiliation: Upper Mississippian Oneota, Koshkonong Phase.</p><br>
<p>Koshkonong bold (3 vessels) – characterized by shell tempering, globular vessels with sharply everted, flat rims and finger-pinched lips; and vertical finger-trailed lines applied from the neck to the shoulder of the vessel. Pottery similar to this type has been recorded at other sites in Wisconsin including Carcajou Point. Time Period: Late Prehistoric. Cultural Affiliation: Upper Mississippian Oneota, Koshkonong Phase.</p><br>
<p>Point Detour trailed (3 vessels) – characterized by shell tempering, smooth surfaces, globular vessels with sharply everted rims; decoration was in the form of narrow trailed lines forming nested triangles and chevrons, and was confined to the neck and shoulder area. A similar type is Grand River Trailed which has been reported from the Carcajou Point and Walker-Hooper sites in Wisconsin. Time Period: Late Prehistoric. Cultural Affiliation: Upper Mississippian Oneota (possibly Orr phase).</p><br>
<p>Delta collared (6 vessels) – characterized by grit tempering, cordwrapped paddle marked surface, slightly everted collared rims with flattened lips. Similar types are Aztalan Collared from the Carcajou Point site; and Point Sable Collared from the Aztalan, Point Sable, Heins Creek and Mero sites, all in Wisconsin. Time Period: Late Prehistoric. Cultural Affiliation: Late Woodland.</p><br>
<h4>Early Historic</h4><br>
<p>16 vessels were present in this component, which was radiocarbon dated to approximately 1620 A.D. The presence of European trade goods indicate the occupation took place at least partially following initial European contact. The following pottery types were present:</p><br>
<p>Bay de Non notched lip (4 vessels) – characterized by grit tempering, cordmarked surface, globular vessels with nearly vertical rims and crimped or notched lips. Similar to Bell Site Type II which has been attributed to the Potawatomi tribe at Rock Island II which is thought to be the original homeland of the Potawatomi. Time Period: Early Historic. Cultural Affiliation: unknown, possibly Potawatomi.</p><br>
<p>Garden incised (3 vessels) – characterized by grit tempering and everted rims and distinctive incised or trailed lines applied to the lip. Similar types in the Wisconsin areas are Bell Site Type I (attributed to the Fox tribe at the Bell site, Wisconsin), Lake Winnebago Trailed, and Perrot Punctate. The lip treatment is similar to vessels at the Dumaw Creek site. Time Period: Early Historic. Cultural Affiliation: unknown.</p><br>
<p>Summer Island cordmarked (3 vessels) – characterized by grit tempering, heavily vertical cordmarked surface, and thickened, almost vertical rim. Similar to pottery from the Dumaw Creek sites in Michigan. At Moccasin Bluff, this type is called Moccasin Bluff Impressed Exterior Lip. Time Period: Late Prehistoric to Early Historic. Prehistoric Cultural Affiliation: Late Woodland. Historic Cultural Affiliation: unknown.</p><br>
<p>Lake Winnebago trailed (1 vessel) – characterized by shell tempering, globular vessel with inverted rim and scalloped lip. Similar pottery has been reported from other Wisconsin sites. Time Period: Late Prehistoric to Early Historic. Prehistoric Cultural Affiliation: Upper Mississippian Oneota. Historic Cultural Affiliation: Unknown.</p><br>
<p>Ontario Iroquois vessels – two vessels were recovered which the researchers believe came from the Huron and/or Neutral tribes, which are originally from Ontario, Canada. One vessel is similar to Huron Incised or Lawson incised, and the second is similar to Sidey notched. These pottery types have been recorded at sites in Ontario and on Isle Royale in Lake Superior, Michigan. These types have also been reported from the Rock Island II site in Wisconsin where they are present in a Huron/Petun/Ottawa occupation dating c. 1650/51–1653 A.D. This community had been displaced from Ontario during the Iroquois Wars, and later amalgamated into the Wyandot tribe. The Early Historic occupation at Summer Island was radiocarbon dated at 1620 A.D. but the researchers state that the occupation may actually have occurred several decades later.</p><br>
<h3>Significance</h3><br>
<p>The Summer Island site is a stratified site with multiple cultural components. Based on the radiocarbon dates, the earliest occupation dates to around 70 through 250 A.D. the second dates to c. 1290 A.D; and the final coincides with initial European contact, approximately 1620 A.D. or a few decades later. Details of the pottery styles present at the site may be compared to those of other sites to aid in developing a more precise chronology, as well as providing clues to interactions with other cultural groups in Michigan, Wisconsin and beyond.</p><br>
<p>The Nathan Comstock Jr. House  is a historic house located at 299 Old Niagara Road in Lockport, Niagara County, New York.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The home is one of the first stone houses built in Lockport between 1823 and 1829, and is a two-story, five-bay wide dwelling built of native limestone in a vernacular Greek Revival style. It has an overhanging side gable roof. The original house was built of excess stone excavated for the Erie Canal. The house was said to have been a part of the Underground Railroad, with many runaway slaves using it as refuge. In about 1900, a large, two-story, rear brick wing was added to accommodate orphaned children of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows members. From 1907 to 1944, the building was used as the Odd Fellows Orphanage. It is believed that the Niagara grape was developed on a portion of the over 800 acre Comstock farm, sold to Obadiah P. Hoag about 1825. Claudius L. Hoag, son of Obadiah traveled to Canada to learn how to hybridize grapes. The house and farm was sold to former Congressman Lewis Eaton in 1830. The house had been abandoned from the 1980s until about 2011, when the current owners renovated it. It won the Preservation Award from Preservation Buffalo Niagara.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on September 29, 2011.</p><br>
<p>Chilton Avenue–Orchard Parkway Historic District is a national historic district in Niagara Falls in Niagara County, New York. It encompasses 103 contributing buildings in a residential district built up between about 1899 and 1941. The dominant architectural styles are Queen Anne, Colonial Revival, Tudor Revival, and Bungalow / American Craftsman.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2010.</p><br>
<p>Fort Homer W. Hesterly is a historic building at 522 North Howard Avenue in the West Tampa section of Tampa, Florida. The building and adjacent support structures were originally constructed as a USA military facility to house units of both the Florida Army National Guard and the USA Army Reserve. The armory was built in the 1930s under Franklin Delano Roosevelt&#39;s New Deal and dedicated the day after the Pearl Harbor attack. The National Guard used the armory until 2005.</p><br>
<p>After sixty years of service, and with the facility becoming obsolete for military purposes, Florida National Guard and USA Army Reserve officials announced plans to replace the armory on December 1, 2001. A new 216,424 ft&sup2; joint reserve facility to be built at Gateway Center in Pinellas Park was planned as a replacement of three existing outdated and overcrowded facilities, including Fort Hesterly, the J.F. Campbell National Guard Armory in Clearwater, and the Lovejoy USA Army Reserve Center in Tampa. Construction of the new $53.5 million project began in 2002, with the House Appropriations Committee originally allocating $45 million for the project. The new facility, eventually named the C.W. "Bill" Young Armed Forces Reserve Center, opened in February 2005.</p><br>
<p>On October 23, 2013, the armory was added to the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>Entertainment and sports uses</h2><br>
<p>During the time that the armory was used by the National Guard and the Army Reserve, it was also used as an entertainment and sports venue.</p><br>
<p>In 1955 Elvis Presley performed at the armory as part of the "Country Musics Mr. Rhythm" show, the final act in country star Hank Snows All-Star Jamboree tour. The cover of Presley&#39;s debut album features a photo from his 1955 performance at the armory.</p><br>
<p>Other performers at the armory included Tom Jones, The Animals, James Brown, Buddy Holly, Andy Griffith, Allman Brothers, Pink Floyd, the Doors and The Ramones.</p><br>
<p>The armory was used by President John F. Kennedy for an address to the Florida Chamber of Commerce in 1963, four days before his assassination in Dallas. The Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. also spoke at the armory.</p><br>
<p>The South Florida Bulls men&#39;s basketball team played home games at the armory sporadically throughout the 1970s.</p><br>
<p>The armory held Championship Wrestling from Florida matches during the era of Dusty Rhodes, Jack Brisco and announcer Gordon Solie. Billy Fives and Pepe Prado represented NWA Florida at the armory in a tag team match against Mike Sullivan and Scoot Andrews during an interpromotional event between IPW Hardcore vs. NWA Florida.</p><br>
<p>In addition, many graduations and weddings have been held at the Fort.</p><br>
<h2>Redevelopment</h2><br>
<p>An art deco style building, it took ten years to find an occupant for the Hesterly Armory, once a premiere entertainment venue in addition to its military role. Plans for the former armory included a film studio and creative industries incubator, an ice rink and sports complex, and mixed-use commercial/residential development. In 2007, a $98 million hotel and spa project won the selection process, but later dropped.</p><br>
<p>In 2016, it underwent a $30 million renovation and was converted into the Bryan Glazer Family Jewish Community Center in honor of Bryan Glazer (son of Malcolm Glazer) who contributed $4 million to the project. It is now home to the Tampa Jewish Community Center & Federation.</p><br>
<p>The Winter Site is an archaeological site located along Big Bay de Noc north of Garden, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.</p><br>
<p>The site is located about 1,000 ft inland from the water along a small tributary. The site was occupied at a time when the Lake Michigan shoreline extended further inland than it does today.</p><br>
<p>The site was populated by Middle Woodland period peoples at two distinct times: one earlier occupation of relatively short duration (1 to 2 seasons) and a later occupation that lasted longer. The occupation was interrupted by what was likely a short rise in lake level or a heavy seasonal flood. Remains at the site indicate that the inhabitants subsisted on fall-spawning fish, and therefore the site represents an early experimentation in coastal living in the late fall and winter.</p><br>
<p>The Oscoda County Courthouse was the county courthouse for Oscoda County, Michigan, located in Mio at 311 Morenci Ave . The courthouse was a Michigan State Historic Site and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places., the courthouse operated courtrooms for the 23rd Circuit Court, 81st District Court, and Oscoda County Probate Court.</p><br>
<p>The courthouse was destroyed by a fire on the evening of May 4, 2016. Though no longer used as a courthouse, the building housed many of the county&#39;s governmental offices. After the fire, temporary mobile offices were erected across the street from the original location to allow for the demolition and disposal of the remaining structure. Construction of the new building officially began on May 20, 2019, and was completed in February 2020.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The land the courthouse was built on was purchased by the county in 1885 from John Randall, one of the community&#39;s founders, for $100. Two wings, housing vaults for the county clerk and treasurer, were constructed in 1908. The building gained a water supply in 1891 and was electrified in 1917.</p><br>
<p>The courthouse was designated a Michigan State Historic Site on August 13, 1971, and added to the National Register of Historic Places on August 25, 1972. A Michigan State Historic Site informational marker was erected in 2001. It burned on May 4, 2016.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The courthouse was a two-story, rectangular front-gable building. Clad in aluminum, the building originally had white clapboard siding. The building was fronted by a projected bay, topped with a hip-roofed steeple. The entrance was fronted by a pedimented portico, beneath a fanlight on the second story. One-story wings extended from both sides of the courthouse.</p><br>
<p>The courthouse was designed by architects Pratt and Koeppe in the Classical Revival style. Unlike the stone and brick courthouses commonly built at the time, the Oscoda County Courthouse was a modest wood-frame building.</p><br>
<p>The Humboldt Bay Life-Saving Station was originally built in November 1878 on the north side of the entrance to Humboldt Bay in northern California, United States, near Eureka, adjacent to the site of the first Humboldt Harbor Light . Rebuilt in 1936 with marine railways to launch rescue surfboats, the historic facility was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on October 30, 1979. The station continues to function as an important asset of the United States Coast Guard in the Coast Guard Group/Air Station Humboldt Bay.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<h3>Early history</h3><br>
<p>Humboldt Bay was listed as one of the most dangerous harbor entrances in California due to the narrow 0.25 mi wide channel with tidal currents and shifting sandbars plus unpredictable weather with high winds and heavy fog.</p><br>
<p>In 1851, the United States Congress appropriated $15,000 for the Humboldt Harbor Light which entered service in 1856. The lighthouse was damaged in 1877 and 1882 by earthquakes and in 1885 by a flood and was abandoned in 1892, when the entire facility, including the Fresnel lens, was relocated to the Table Bluff Light on October 31. Years later, the top of the tower was found in the sand and relocated to the Humboldt Bay Maritime Museum.</p><br>
<p>Other aids to navigation including bells on boats and fog whistles, including one on the north side of the channel, were in operation by at least 1908. The fog keeper and assistant keeper lived at the actual station. There was nearby housing for their families although none of the buildings remains.</p><br>
<p>Humboldt and six other Life Saving Stations were built in California. The others were (in alphabetical order) Arena Cove, Fort Point, Golden Gate Park, Point Reyes, Point Bonita, and Southside (in San Francisco). The entire Pacific coast had 20 Life Saving Service stations.</p><br>
<h3>Paysonville</h3><br>
<p>In 1883 Alexander Ballantyne and Albert Henry Payson, working for the United States Lighthouse Board designed a wharf, stone-cutter&#39;s shed, mess hall and housing adjacent to the Humboldt Harbor Lighthouse to prepare and dress hundreds of 2.5 ton granite boulders transported from the Mad River Quarry on railroad flatbed cars transported on barges across the bay. After the stones were cut precisely to full scale templates with a mortise and tenon such that each would fit only one adjacent block precisely, they were wrapped in rope netting, loaded on a narrow gauge railway by steam-driven crane and moved to the wharf from which they were loaded by another steam crane to specially fitted steamer ships to be taken to form the foundation of the St. George Reef Light, on the site of the fatal Brother Jonathan wreck offshore Crescent City, California. It cost $117,000 to quarry and ship, operate the facility and pay the help in 1884, a figure which was higher than expected due to the non-stop rain. The quarry operated from 1884 to 1891, commanded by Chief Payson from 1887 after whom the settlement was named. Paysonville remained idle from 1891 until World War II when it was turned into a Navy seaplane base and is now the Samoa Boat Basin.</p><br>
<h3>First station</h3><br>
<p>In 1878, Congress authorized the United States Life-Saving Service although stations were to be built only where navigation conditions were extremely hazardous. The Humboldt Bay station was the second to be built in California after that in Golden Gate Park, San Francisco. It began operating in November 1878 just to the south of Paysonville. The original station was to the north side of the present building and tasked to rescue wrecked and stranded ships and patrol the beaches.</p><br>
<p>The station was staffed by a keeper and six volunteers. Later "surfmen" would be hired, living at the station which could also house rescue victims. After the 1892 closure of the Humboldt Harbor Light, surfmen used the tower of the old lighthouse as a lookout until the tower collapsed in 1933. By 1896 there were eight surfman each working a six-day week, and in 1901 a telephone was installed to assist in rescue work. In 1910, the first power-driven boat was used for rescue on Humboldt Bay although hand-rowed boats were still used.</p><br>
<h3>Second station</h3><br>
<p>In 1936, as part of the national New Deal upgrade of Coast Guard facilities, a new Humboldt Bay Station was built to replace the original. The USA Coast Guard, Civil Engineer&#39;s Office, Washington, D.C., drew up the plans of the building dated February 1936; less than a year and $78,000 later, the building was occupied in January 1937. Chief Garner Churchill commanded the station from 1937 until he retired in 1966. During his tenure, more than 300 people were saved by the station.</p><br>
<p>The new station housed and fed a 25-man crew and had living quarters for the Chief and his family. Two marine railways were built, originally without handrails, from the bay side boat room to seven feet below mean low tide line. These permitted surf boats to be launched rapidly into sheltered water, and equally important hauled out of the water, sometimes full of rescued people.</p><br>
<p>During Prohibition, the station stopped rum runners. the station was charged with foot and horse patrols operating along the coast and beaches.</p><br>
<p>During World War II, a Navy seaplane base and Blimp facility for K-type depth charge blimps were built to the north of the station at Paysonville. After World War II, the fog station closed and the facility was removed. The blimp station became part of the Eureka Municipal Airport and the circular blimp pads are still visible in aerial photos.</p><br>
<h3>Rescues</h3><br>
<p>In the 28 years from 1850 to 1878, nearly two dozen ships were wrecked either on or near the bar at the mouth of Humboldt Bay, California. Notable rescues include:</p><br>
<p>Passenger Steamer Corona 1906, all 96 passengers and 60 crew saved, two surfmen lost.</p><br>
<p>USA Navy H-3 submarine grounded offshore with 27 crew and live torpedoes on December 14, 1916. Local contractor Mercer-Fraser later rolled the submarine over the sand dunes and back into the water on giant logs.</p><br>
<p>USAS. Milwaukee sent to recover the H-3 was also stranded on January 13, 1917. 421 enlisted and 17 officers were saved.</p><br>
<p>Yacht Rena swamped on June 23, 1939, within sight of the bar. Four were saved and the Chief and his crew received the Silver Medal, the second highest award for lifesaving for the rescue.</p><br>
<p>The Brookley, the Tiverton and the Yellowstone, were three schooners which stranded, although all their passengers were saved.</p><br>
<h2>Buildings and railway</h2><br>
<p>The Station received National Register status for significance in helping navigation and saving lives in the area of Humboldt Bay. It is considered the best example of Roosevelt Style, a Colonial Revival station design that was used across the country from the late 1920s through the late 1940s, in the western United States. The Station has two 274 ft long marine railways from the Station&#39;s rollup doors to below the low tide mark in the water to launch heavy surfboats. Marine railways were built starting in the early 20th century but became obsolete when larger steel lifeboats came into use in the 1970s. They represent the only set still in a functional Coast Guard Building on the Pacific coast.</p><br>
<p>Since 1994, the marine railway has displayed Motor Lifeboat #36515, which was decommissioned in 1982, donated to the Humboldt Bay Maritime Museum and returned as a monument. It has been used "from the late 1950s to the early 1980s."</p><br>
<p>Minor alterations were made to the west facade of the building in 1977, but the other faces are either not modified, or only slightly from the original plans. The interior was extensively altered from working spaces such as the boat room and a garage to offices, reception and classroom space. Upstairs the individual bedrooms have been combined to a single room and the mess hall and kitchens were also turned into office spaces.</p><br>
<h2>Current use</h2><br>
<p>The Station continues in active use by the USA Coast Guard. Before 1977, summer air rescue in the area was done from the Coast Guard Air Station San Francisco, but the two-hour response time was too long for victims floundering in the typically 40–50 °F water so, on June 24, 1977, the</p><br>
<p>Coast Guard Group / Air Station Humboldt Bay was commissioned with headquarters at a new $3.5 million facility at the Arcata-Eureka Airport in McKinleyville, California. The old Life-Saving station is an active part of the new search and rescue infrastructure.</p><br>
<p>Spider Cave, also known as Burnt Bluff Cave or 20DE3, is an archaeological site located on the Garden Peninsula near Fayette, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1971.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>Spider Cave is a water-cut cave located 20 ft above the base of Burnt Bluff, The bluff contains multiple wind- and water-cut caves. Spider Cave was formed approximately 4000 years ago, and is 90 ft long and 30 ft deep.</p><br>
<p>The cave contains four pictographs within the cave and on the walls near the entrance. The most distinctive is a pictograph of a man connected to what appears to be a spider by a spiral umbilical cord. The "Spider Man" paint colors vary from red-violet to blue-violet, and were most likely applied using colorful mineral dyes mixed with grease, along with binders from fish roe or animal hooves and skins. However, these pictographs have been fading, due in part to natural wind and water erosion, and in part to tourists applying water to the images to view them better. As of 2009, the "spiderman" image had only two of the "spider legs" visible, the remainder being hidden under lichen and precipitated salts.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The caves on Burnt Bluff were probably first occupied by humans sometime around 1200 BC. At least 165 caves and shelters were used to some extent.</p><br>
<p>The earliest historical recording of people in the Burnt Bluff area are the Noquet people, who inhabited the land before European settlement, and likely as early as 1500. Ojibwe people living in the area still trace their heritage back to these people, and among these communities there are multiple oral histories discussing the Burnt Bluff site and pictographs. In 1867, much of the Garden Peninsula was deeded to the Jackson Iron Company, which planned to build furnaces at Fayette. Starting in the 1880s, multiple private parties owned the land around Spider Cave.</p><br>
<p>The earliest record of the pictographs within Spider Cave The cave was first excavated by Charles E. Cleland and G. Richard Peske in 1963. A number of artifacts were collected from the cave, most of which were Middle Woodland period projectile points. Most of the projectile points had shattered tips, suggesting they were fired into the cave from without and had shattered against the rear wall. The abundance of projectile tips and lack of other artifacts associated with normal occupation suggests that Spider Cave was not used as a normal living site.</p><br>
<p>Ruth and Henry Lang, who purchased the land in 1947, advertised the Spider Cave pictographs as a tourist attraction. The area around Burnt Bluff was acquired by the State of Michigan in the 1970s, and is now part of Fayette Historic State Park. It is closed to the public.</p><br>
<p>The John Armstrong House is a private residential structure located at 707 Monroe Street in the city of Lapeer in Lapeer County, Michigan. It was designated as a Michigan State Historic Site and also added to the National Register of Historic Places on July 26, 1985.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>Built in 1887–1888, the 2½-story house was built in the architectural mix of Queen Anne and Late Victorian style. The house features an irregular floor plan with a variety of window shapes. It was constructed with a combination of stone, brick, and wood for the various features. The interior design of the structure has remained unchanged since its original construction, including a second floor cistern. Between 1888 and 1892, a two-story addition was built on the back. In 1917, the dormer on the third floor was removed after a fire. In 1941, the porches were altered, and one was removed.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The house was built for prominent local businessman Joseph Armstrong, who moved to the United States from Ireland in 1871. In 1872, he moved to Lapeer in part due to the expanding railroad in the area. He opened a dry goods store that he operated for the next 37 years before retiring. He purchased the site of his home in 1886 and contracted a local carpenter, Robert T. Bacon, to construct the house and other smaller structures on the property within the next two years.</p><br>
<p>Following Joseph Armstrong&#39;s death, the property passed to his son, Jay Armstrong. Jay died in 1956. His wife, Evelyn, lived alone in the house until her death in 1981 when the house was sold.</p><br>
<p>Seneca Aqueduct — or Aqueduct No. 1 — is a naviduct that carries the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal  over Seneca Creek in Montgomery County, Maryland. The C&O built eleven aqueducts along its 184.5 mi length. Seneca Aqueduct is a unique structure, not only being the first built, but also the only red sandstone aqueduct on the C&O−and the only aqueduct that is also a lock . It is located at the end of Rileys Lock Road in Seneca, Maryland.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Seneca Aqueduct was built from 1829 to 1832 with three red sandstone arches quarried in the nearby Seneca Quarry, just a few hundred feet to the west. The initial stretch of the C&O Canal opened in 1830 up to Lock 23 and Inlet Lock 2, one lock downstream from the Seneca Aqueduct. The segment from Seneca Aqueduct to Harpers Ferry opened in 1833. This included a sizable turning basin, just west of the aqueduct, where canal boats could anchor or turn around. Next to the aqueduct and lock is the lock keeper&#39;s house, also made from Seneca red sandstone. Because of the canal, the nearby quarry operations, and additional mills on Seneca Creek, the town of Seneca was an active working class community.</p><br>
<p>In 1897, the steam packet boat Anna Wilson leaving the aqueduct, collided with a freight boat loaded with watermelons, and sank. There were no injuries to the passengers. Local residents had "a ball" fishing out the watermelons floating in the basin.</p><br>
<p>The canal closed in 1924 after ninety-six years in operation.</p><br>
<p>A major flood in September 1971 took out the westernmost of the three arches. The National Park Service has since shored up the aqueduct with steel beams.</p><br>
<p>Seneca Aqueduct is part of the C&O Canal National Historic Park and is administered by the National Park Service. The aqueduct is included in the Seneca Historic District in Montgomery County, Maryland.</p><br>
