<p>The Smuggler-Union Hydroelectric Powerplant, also known as the Bridal Veil Powerhouse, is an electric power generation plant and residence located next to Bridal Veil Falls on a 400 ft cliff overlooking Telluride, Colorado. The structure is stories on a poured concrete foundation with a wood frame superstructure. It consists of a main power plant building, a -story residence and a 1-story cookhouse. The power plant foundation is distinctive, with semicircular windows. A semicircular bay with arched windows projects out on a rock spur.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Smuggler-Union Hydroelectric Powerplant was built to power the Smuggler-Union Mine 2,000 ft below in 1907, providing alternating current for industrial purposes. The plant was proposed by Smuggler-Union Mine manager Buckley Wells who lived in the residence as a summer home until the 1920s. It was originally accessed in winter by an aerial tramway but that was eventually destroyed. It operated in its original configuration until its decommissioning in 1953, serving the Idarado Mining Company.</p><br>
<p>The living quarters and especially the power house/generator fell into disrepair and were heavily vandalized by the time of the historic registry survey in 1979. A local resident, Eric Jacobson, acquired a 99-year lease from the Idarado Mining Company for the property in 1988 and proceeded to restore the building and its hydroelectric facility and eventually moved his family into the residence, raising three children at the precarious home. Jacobson restored the AC plant to operation in 1991 with power being generated by its original 2300 volt Westinghouse Electric AC generator, one of the oldest AC generators in operation. In 2010 Jacobson gave up the lease to the Idarado Mining Company citing continual regulation and legal problems associated with the site. Idarado has not kept the plant in operation, depriving the community of this readily available source of renewable power generation. As of 2012, under Jacobson&#39;s care, the plant generated approximately 2,000 megawatt hours per year – enough electricity to power about 2,000 average American homes – which was purchased from Jacobson by the local San Miguel Power Association. Because the Bridal Veil Hydroelectric Power Plant is over 100 years old, restoring the generator to operation is a difficult feat.</p><br>
<p>The Smuggler-Union Powerplant was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on December 27, 1979.</p><br>
<p>Gale College  was a private college in Galesville, Wisconsin. It was founded by George Gale, opening in 1854 and closing in 1939. Several religious denominations used the facilities as a college and later as a training school.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Judge George Gale went to college at the University of Vermont and moved to the western frontier in La Crosse, Wisconsin, in the early 1850s. After finding little interest in starting a college in La Crosse, he bought 2,000 acre to start Galesville at a choice spot for his planned university. Gale ran the nonsectarian college until 1865 and the school floundered when his health deteriorated during his involvement in the American Civil War.</p><br>
<p>In 1865, the Methodist Episcopal Church took over the school and held classes until 1871. The Presbyterians took over until 1901 and changed the name to Gale College in the 1890s. The Synod of the Norwegian Evangelical Lutheran Church in America purchased the college in 1901. In 1915, they built a new dormitory and gymnasium. They constructed a new heating plant in 1921. The Lutherans suspended the school for the 1938-39 school year because of too small enrollment and closed it permanently in June 1939.</p><br>
<p>The Society of Mary, Province of St. Louis purchased the buildings and 20 acre of land in 1941 for $10,000. Its buildings included two dormitories, the main building, and a heating plant. The Catholic order used the buildings to train novitiate brothers and priests. They named the school Marynook and operated the novitiate until it became a retreat in 1973. The retreat operated until June 1994, at which time the city of Galesville purchased it for $150,000. The city granted a 50-year lease in 2000 to the Garden of Eden Preservation Society.</p><br>
<h3>Founder&#39;s Day</h3><br>
<p>Throughout the schools varied history, it held a "Founders Day" celebration on June 4. The day celebrated Gales founding of the school, his platting of Galesville, and his work to develop Trempealeau County.</p><br>
<h3>Historic Place</h3><br>
<p>Several buildings on the campus were listed as a historic district with the National Register of Historic Places on February 14, 1997.</p><br>
<h2>Current use</h2><br>
<p>The Old Main building is being restored by the Old Main Historical & Community Arts Center. The group rents out the building for events and holds fundraisers. Volunteers are compiling the history of the area, building a digital database, and collecting local genealogy information. Another building is being used as a kindergarten.</p><br>

<p>Rico Town Hall or Rico City Hall is a multi-purpose building in the tiny mountain mining town of Rico, Colorado. Rico was formerly the county seat of Dolores County, and the city hall was built as the Dolores County Courthouse in 1892 by a "Mr. Carpenter." At the time Rico was in the middle of a gold boom and had a population of 4,000. Over time the county&#39;s population shifted to Dove Creek, and after 53 years the county seat moved in 1946. The courthouse remained vacant until 1955, when it was transferred to Rico for town offices and meeting space.</p><br>
<p>The new courthouse replaced a log courthouse. It is built of dense red sandstone from the Cutler Formation in Ouray on a local granite foundation. Brick came from the Durango Brick Yard at Lightner Creek. The -story structure features arched windows and parapeted end gables, with a central tower that projects slightly above the steep main roof over the entrance.</p><br>
<p>The Rico Town Hall was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on December 31, 1974.</p><br>
<p>The Gasquet Ranger Station Historic District comprises a compound of buildings associated with the Gasquet Ranger District of Six Rivers National Forest. The USA Forest Service complex is located along the Smith River on USA Route 199 in Del Norte County, California, within Smith River National Recreation Area. Most of the buildings were built by the Civilian Conservation Corps between 1933 and 1939. Seven buildings and a rock wall remain of the CCC-built structures. The district office, the assistant district ranger&#39;s residence, a warehouse, two garages and a fuel house were built in the Forest Service rustic style that prevailed at the time. The style is reflected in distinctive detailing, including a recurring pine tree cut-out logo that appears on gables and shutters.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The ranger station is located on a terrace between the Middle Fork of the Smith River and US 199. The main office is a 1-1/2 story frame structure completed in 1938, facing USA 199. The main roof is end-gabled, with a large cross-gabled front porch. The building measures about 37 ft by 41 ft. In plan it originally was two rooms downstairs, with an attic storage room. Pine tree cut-outs are painted green against the white gables, and the stationary shutters feature similar cut-outs. The porch lights are designed to resemble fire lookout cabins. Over time there have been modest additions and changes to the interior.</p><br>
<p>The assistant ranger&#39;s residence was also completed in 1938, measuring about 30 ft by 46 ft. The one-story house is end-gabled. The front porch is supported by curved wood brackets. It has been little altered. Two garages were built in either 1933 or 1938, and feature pine tree cutouts on their gables. A warehouse, built about 1936, is actually three adjoining structures. The fuel house was built about 1934.</p><br>
<p>The district ranger&#39;s residence is a Colonial Revival structure that is more in accordance with eastern design practice than was usual in California, even including a full basement. Rock walls in the vicinity were built by the CCC, as was another wall near the highway. There were once four more CCC buildings: a barn, a messhall/bunkhouse, a woodshed and another residence. Several newer buildings are included in the historic district but are regarded as non-contributing.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Gasquet Ranger Station was built beginning in 1933 to replace the Smith Fork Ranger Station, located to the west of the present station. The station at the time was part of Siskiyou National Forest. The district ranger, Adolph Nilsson, directed CCC forces at the Gasquet CCC camp to build the new station to plans provided by the Forest Service regional office. The stations presence at the time in the Northwest Region meant that northwestern design motifs such as the cutout pine trees were employed, making the station unusual for California ranger stations. The exception was the rangers residence, which was built to a plan that appeared in the July 1930 Ladies Home Journal, apparently at the instigation of Mrs. Nilsson.</p><br>
<p>The Gasquet Ranger Station Historic District was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on March 26, 1998.</p><br>
<p>Court Hill Historic District is a historic district located in Ottumwa, Iowa, United States. It is a residential area of large homes with a few small homes in between. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998 as a part of Ottumwa MPS.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Court Street was developed as a major artery from the Des Moines River to Sixth Street, which was Ottumwa&#39;s original city limits, where it made a slight turn to the north and headed up a bluff and into the countryside above the river valley. It is possible that it is the road established by the Iowa Territorial Legislature in 1844 that extended from the southern Davis County border to the northern Wapello County border and connected the two county seats. Later it was signed as USA Highway 63. The oldest houses in the district were built between 1865 and 1875. The first electric streetcar began operating on Court Street in 1889. The street was paved with bricks in 1890 and 1891. Both projects led to increased development of the area between 1890 and 1915. From this period until 1942 a centralized steam heat system was available in the city and the main pipes were located under Court Street. Because of this, the street was never covered with snow or ice during the winter and people could always climb to the top of the bluff when other streets were impassable. During the World War II years many of the large homes were divided into multi-family dwellings. That process started to be reversed in the late 20th century when historic preservation took root in Ottumwa.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>Most of the houses are large in size, but a few smaller houses are scattered throughout the district. While some of the houses have been altered over the years, most of them retain a high level of integrity. Very few of the original buildings in the district have been torn down, and therefore, there is little in the way of new construction. A variety of the most fashionable Victorian styles were built in the district. The most popular include Italianate, Neoclassical, and Queen Anne. Architects who have designs in the district include George Kern, Edward Clark, and Fisher & Lowrie.</p><br>
<p>The Naomikong Point Site, also known as 20CH2, is a Late Woodland period Laurel site archaeological site located in Bay Mills Township, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1971.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Naomikong Point Laurel complex site is located on a small point Some of what was once occupied area is now under the water slightly offshore. The site contained refuse and storage pits, as well as evidence of post molds thought to be from fish drying racks. This, along with other evidence, strongly suggests the people living here relied heavily on fishing. Radiocarbon dating indicated the site was populated at some point between about 100 CE and 900 CE. The site was likely used seasonally.</p><br>
<h2>Archeological History</h2><br>
<p>The Naomikong Point Site was brought to the attention of archaeologists by Charles Sprague Taylor, a lumberman and historian from Newberry, Michigan. It was surveyed by James Fitting in the 1960s, including underwater exploration just off shore in 1964. Additional work was done by Donald E. Janzen in 1967. Over 100,000 potsherds was recovered from the site, which came from at least 288 different vessels.</p><br>
<p>Eagles Store is a family business in West Yellowstone, Montana, whose three-story log building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The original store was established in 1908 on the same site and was razed in 1927 to make room for the present building, constructed in Rustic architectural style. Two blocks from the west entrance to Yellowstone National Park, Eagles Store is the oldest operating business in West Yellowstone, and is still run by the same family who founded it.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Eyeing the growing popularity of tourism to Yellowstone National Park, the Union Pacific Railroad constructed its Oregon Short Line segment to the West Gate of Yellowstone Park between 1905 and 1907. In 1907 Samuel Peter Eagle, a Yellowstone Park employee, requested a permit from the United States Forest Service to lease commercial space next to the railroad&#39;s right of way. In June 1908 the Forest Service surveyed a six-block townsite on the western boundary of Yellowstone Park and issued business permits on one-acre (0.4 ha) plots. The first three business operators were Eagle and his partner, Alex Stuart, who built a general store; L. A. Murray, who opened the Yellowstone Hotel in 1909; and Charles Arnet, who opened the Yellowstone Store. While these and other ventures primarily serviced railway passengers in the early 20th century, the introduction of the automobile in 1916 brought many more visitors to Yellowstone Park and business flourished, turning West Yellowstone into a permanent town.</p><br>
<p>In 1908 Stuart left the partnership to open his own business; he bought the lease to Arnets store in 1910. Eagles Store continued to be operated by Eagle and his descendants.</p><br>
<p>When it first opened, Eagles Store stocked "candies, tobaccos, Kodaks, postals, cigars, fishing rods and rented dusters". A white marble soda fountain manufactured by the Liquid Carbonic Company of Minnesota was added in 1910 at a cost of $1391.80., The local post office was located in Eagles Store from 1909 to 1935, with Sam Eagle as the postmaster. Following the construction of its new building in 1930, the store began to offer a wider selection of merchandise and services. As of 2012, it sells sportswear, western wear, hiking and backpacking gear, fishing tackle, Native American arts and crafts, and souvenirs. The newer building retained the mahogany bar and soda fountain installed in 1910 and added a front bar and stools.</p><br>
<h2>Design</h2><br>
<p>The original Eagle&#39;s Store, built by Eagle and Stuart, was a 12 ft by 12 ft structure with a false front. Eagle enlarged the store in 1913 and then had it razed in 1927 to build the three-story structure that stands today.</p><br>
<p>The current structure, begun in 1927 and completed in 1930, was designed by Bozeman architect Fred F. Willson, who also designed the Coca-Cola bottling plant that is part of the Bozeman Brewery Historic District. Willson donated his services to the project in order to promote the Western Rustic architectural style. The design was similar to that of Old Faithful Inn in Yellowstone Park, which utilizes National Park Service rustic style, of which exposed logs are a key element. Willson set fir logs measuring 18 ft to 36 ft long into a base of rhyolite and concrete. Buttresses were made of basalt.</p><br>
<h2>Family business</h2><br>
<p>All 10 of the children of Sam Eagle (1881–1950) and his wife, Ida Christine Carlson (1883–1962), worked in the store as children, as have many other descendants and relatives. Now in its fourth generation of ownership. Many family members are avid skiers, including Heather McPhie, a great-granddaughter of Sam and Ida, who competed in the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver. The family has set up its own charitable foundation, which benefits people with disabilities, education, and youth programs.</p><br>
<p>The Bozeman National Fish Hatchery, now known as Bozeman Fish Technology Center, is located about 4 mi northeast of Bozeman, Montana, at the entrance to Bridger Canyon. There is also a National Fish Health Center on the southwest side of Bozeman, near Montana State University, about 7 mi away from the Fish Technology Center. Fish Technology Centers work with a wide variety of public and private partners to improve and conserve aquatic resources. Both the Fish Technology Center and the Fish Health Center are part of the National Fish Hatchery System, operated by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service. There are seven Fish Technology Centers and nine Fish Health Centers in the United States. The Bozeman hatchery is the fourth oldest National Fish Hatchery. The hatchery was named to the National Register of Historic Places on January 6, 1983.</p><br>
<p>The Bozeman National Fish Hatchery was authorized by an act of the United States Congress on August 5, 1892. The initial purchase of land for the hatchery was on May 20, 1893, and consisted of 50.3 acre at the entrance to Bridger Canyon. Construction of facilities began April 1895 and was completed in late 1896. The first superintendent, Dr. Chase Tucker, began working there on January 11, 1897. The hatchery&#39;s original focus was on brook trout and rainbow trout (steelhead). The hatchery grew steadily and an additional 80 acre were purchased in 1905. The fish hatchery focus ceased in 1966 when the hatchery became a Fish Cultural Development Center with a focus on improving Salmonidae culture. The focus changed again to cover a wider variety of fish species when it became a Fish Technology Center in 1983. Today, the center is more of a research and education center than a hatchery.</p><br>
<p>A significant accomplishment of the center was its instrumental role in getting the greenback cutthroat trout&#39;s rating under the Endangered Species Act changed from extinct to threatened. In August 2004 a new 16,500 ft&sup2; laboratory and administrative building known as the Robert G. Piper Building was opened, named in honor of a former director of the center. The Bozeman Fish Technology Center currently studies aquatic species culture, aquatic species nutrition, fishery evaluation, and aquatic species health in the states of Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Wyoming, Nebraska, Utah, Colorado, and Kansas.</p><br>
<p>The State Theatre is a Moderne style cinema in Red Bluff, California, USA. It was built in 1945-46 to a design by architects Alexander A. and Mackenzie A. Cantin, replacing a theater that had burned two years before. It provided the only public stage in Tehama County until 1991, and was the only cinema until 1993. It is notable as one of the few theaters to be built in the United States during World War II.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The State Theatre was built as a replacement of a building that was first built in 1908 as the Orpheum Theatre, or the Opera House. After a 1928 renovation, the theater was renamed the State Theatre. This building burned in 1944, and a replacement was deemed vital for morale. Construction began in April 1945, but was delayed by wartime materials shortages. The new theater opened on May 24, 1946, complete with air conditioning. The front of the theater was not completed as designed, with a more elaborate marquee and facade deferred and finally cancelled.</p><br>
<p>In 1980 the house was divided for two screens, then subdivided again in 1992. It closed in 1993, superseded by a newer multiplex cinema. It was purchased in 1998 for redevelopment as a community arts center.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The one story State Theatre occupies a corner lot at Oak Street and Washington Street, with the theater entrance and a tenant space fronting on Oak Street. The theater is built of cast-in-place concrete with a two-story plain concrete facade. Original plans called for a large faceted pylon sign and a larger marquee, which were never built. A freestanding box office stands in a recessed exterior lobby area, surrounded by a terrazzo floor. Four pairs of doors give access to the inner lobby. The inner lobby has been substantially altered. The auditorium was originally designed for more the 900 patrons in three areas. The orchestra seats in front of the stage are separated from a loge by half-walls, while a balcony-like area is actually a sloped stadium-style seating area at the rear. The house features elaborate murals of nymphs and horses that are its most distinctive feature. There are basements under the stage and lobby.</p><br>
<p>The State Theatre was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on April 17, 2002.</p><br>
<p>Fort Drummond, also known as Fort Colyer or Fort Collier, is a military fort located on the west end of Drummond Island on Whitney Bay, in the vicinity of De Tour Village, Michigan. It is the only known military and civilian site established by British forces on American soil following the War of 1812. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1969 and designated a Michigan State Historic Site in 1956.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<h3>Establishment</h3><br>
<p>The Treaty of Ghent, signed in late 1814, required British troops to vacate the captured Fort Mackinac on Mackinac Island. The terms of the treaty, however, did not reach the Fort Mackinac garrison until May 15, 1815. The instructions to the forts commanding officer, Lieutenant Colonel Robert McDonall, were to vacate Fort Mackinac and re-establish a garrison within British territory but relatively close to Mackinac Island. In particular, it was important that the new site be sufficiently close to the Straits of Mackinac that the British could continue to exert their considerable influence on the Native American peoples tribes and the fur trade in the upper Great Lakes region. The transfer of stores and men to the new site was slow to accomplish, and it took McDonalls garrison until July 18, 1815, to completely empty Fort Mackinac, which was then turned over to American forces.</p><br>
<p>Some of the forces under McDonall&#39;s command were mustered out in the latter part of 1815 and were shipped home, but by the time the transfer to Drummond Island was complete, the garrison consisted of some 350–400 people. These men were set to work constructing structures on Drummond Island, but due to lack of training, the progress was slow. Eventually, buildings located on St. Joseph Island belonging to the North West Company were purchased, disassembled, and re-assembled in order to provide shelter for the coming winter.</p><br>
<p>There was still some uncertainty as to the final disposition of Drummond Island, and thus the British government was reluctant to expend much manpower or materiel fortifying Fort Drummond. Some few military structures were erected, but on the whole there was no real boundary between the military and civilian sections of the "fort". In 1816, McDonall resigned his commission and was replaced by Lt. Col. Maule; in 1817 Maule was replaced by Major Thomas Howard and then by Major James Winnett. Through this period the military emplacement on Drummond Island remained substantially as it had been at the end of 1815.</p><br>
<h3>Abandonment</h3><br>
<p>Winnett was relieved by Major Goff in June 1822. However, in 1822, it was determined that Drummond Island was actually part of the United States, per the Treaty of Ghent. Still, the British forces were in no hurry to leave Fort Drummond, and Goff was replaced in June 1824 by Lieutenant James J. Gaston, who was relieved in June 1827 by Lieutenant Thomas Carson. In the interim, a suitable location for the relocation of the Fort Drummond troops was sought; finally a site in what is now Penetanguishene, on the southeast corner of Georgian Bay, was tentatively selected.</p><br>
<p>By 1828, the United States government demanded that Fort Drummond be abandoned by the British, and they hurriedly did so, shipping troops and materiel to Penetanguishene. However, due to lack of shipping space, much food and personal belongings such as furniture were left behind by the departing British. American forces, led by Lieutenant T. Pierce Simonton,</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The settlement at Fort Drummond contained military structures as well as private houses. The settlement was centered around a parade ground fronting on the west side of the bay. Military barracks and commissary were located on the west side of the parade ground, and officer&#39;s quarters were haphazardly placed in the area. A "boulevard" ran along northward from the parade ground a good 2,000 ft, while a military road continued southward of the parade ground to the shore.</p><br>
<p>Some of the houses were substantial, and a few were two stories. Other houses were "bark lodges," made of a pole framework covered with cedar. Kitchens for the houses were located some distance away, and much of the cooking and baking was done in a public bakery reserved for that purpose.</p><br>
<p>The cemetery was located to the west of the fort, some ways up the ridge rising from the bay. The cemetery was platted at 100 by, and enclosed by a cedar rail fence. The cemetery likely holds around 300 people, many of the burials dating from the scurvy outbreak in the winter of 1815–6 and the smallpox outbreak of 1824. Many of the grave markers are now located in the Drummond Island Museum.</p><br>
<p>A lime quarry and kiln is located south of the town; this location was likely used to produce mortar for the chimneys. A saw mill was also located north of the town; this may or may not have been contemporaneous with Fort Drummond, but evidence of sawn logs in the fort buildings was confirmed. Some of the islands in Whitney Bay were also used by the fort, with the fort surgeon living on one and another used for artillery target practice.</p><br>
<p>As of 2012, the Fort Drummond site is private property, and the site is only viewable from the water. At least one of the remaining chimneys has been incorporated into a cabin. The Fort Drummond site contains 74 features, most of which are the remains of chimneys and structural platforms. There are also two wells, two wharves, and a cemetery. Faint traces of foundations can still be seen.</p><br>
<p>New Castle Armory is a historic National Guard armory located at Shenango Township, Lawrence County, Pennsylvania. It was built in 1938, and is an "I"-plan stone building consisting of a one- to two-story administration building, with a connected riding hall and former stable building. It was built as a Federal public works project and is in the Art Deco style.</p><br>
<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1991.</p><br>
<p>The Lawrence County Courthouse is an historic, American courthouse building that is located in New Castle, Lawrence County, Pennsylvania.</p><br>
<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.</p><br>
<h2>History and architectural features</h2><br>
<p>The original building was built between 1850 and 1855, and is a two-story, six-bay by three-bay Greek Revival-style structure. It features a portico with six Ionic order columns and a cupola. Major additions to the original structure were built between 1885 and 1886, in 1914 (extended in 1939), and between 1943 and 1944. A small addition to connect the 1885-1886 and 1914-1939 additions was built in 1947.</p><br>
<p>During the 1950s, the original cupola containing the clock tower was removed, after standing atop the courthouse roof since its construction and throughout the early twentieth century.</p><br>
<p>Twenty years later, additional changes were made. The Lawrence County Government Center was built in 1977 and attached to the courthouse on its northwest side. The courthouse was then added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.</p><br>
<p>The courthouse tower had a flat roof until 2002, when the county invested $225,000 to erect a new cupola with a clock tower, complete with a carillon of chimes.</p><br>
<p>The bell from the original clock tower now rests in the plaza behind the courthouse near the main entrance to the adjacent Lawrence County Government Center, according to a plaque on the front of the courthouse. The new clock tower was dedicated to the people of Lawrence County on October 7, 2002. The Commissioners were Roger M. Decarbo, Brian D. Burick, and Edward F. Fosnaught, the Chief Clerk/Administrator was Charleen T. Micco, and the Building Superintendent was Frank Picari.</p><br>
<p>Old Homestead, also known as Pine Grove Farm and Honey Creek Farm, is a historic home located in Little Beaver Township, Lawrence County, Pennsylvania. It was built between 1824 and 1825, and is a -story, Federal-style dwelling with a gable roof. The building measures 39 feet, 4 inches, by 38 feet, 6 inches. It features unusual stepped front and rear walls.</p><br>
<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.</p><br>
<p>S. R. Thompson House is a historic home at New Wilmington, Lawrence County, Pennsylvania. It was built in 1884, and is a three-story, Queen Anne style dwelling with a steep hipped roof and projecting gables. It has irregular massing, multiple porches, five types of wood siding, and stick style decoration. The house has been owned by Westminster College since 1945, and used for administrative offices and a women&#39;s residence.</p><br>
<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.</p><br>
<p>The Peter Wentz Farmstead is an historic, Pennsylvania German farm that has been continuously farmed since 1744. It is located in Worcester Township, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania near Lansdale.</p><br>
<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The first family to till this land was that of Peter and Rosanna Wentz, who were both first-generation Americans. Peter Wentz inherited the property from his father who may have purchased it as early as 1710. The couple had seven children.</p><br>
<p>The farm was sold to Dewalt Bieber in 1784 and then to Melchior Schultz, a minister of the Schwenkfelder faith, in 1794. Schultz family descendants owned the home until 1969 when it was purchased by the County of Montgomery.</p><br>
<p>The Georgian-style farmhouse was built in 1758, and is a large -story, dwelling with attached out(summer) kitchen and bake oven. The main house consists of two floors with four rooms each and a central passageway on both, a cellar with a corner water spring trough and a full attic. The front facade is built of dressed local red shale and sandstone. The remainder of the building is built of uncut sandstone and localized red shale stone. Located nearby is a circa 1920&#39;s poultry house building that has been converted to a visitor center with restrooms and a gift-shop and employees offices upstairs.

Currently, the farm has sheep, cows, and chickens.</p><br>
<p>The house served as headquarters for the Commander-in-Chief of the Continental Army George Washington before and after the Battle of Germantown, October 2–4 and 16–21, 1777. His Excellency did not travel alone. His "military family" included a staff of a military secretary, several aides-de-camp, a dozen servants and his personal guard unit, the Commander-in-Chief&#39;s Guard. That unit consisted of sixty infantry soldiers and three officers. Washington set his 9,000 strong army two miles south on top of the Methacton hill to be in striking distance of 8,000 Crown forces in nearby Germantown.</p><br>
<p>By October 20 news arrived that the fortifications and breastworks around Philadelphia were completed, the British abandoned their outpost in Germantown. Washington responded by moving his troops within a half days march of Philadelphia. Whitemarsh or Fort Washington was chosen as it was 15 mi away.</p><br>

<p>The original property was owned by Hannah Callowhill Penn. She was the second wife of William Penn, the first colonial proprietor of the Province of Pennsylvania. After her husband suffered a series of strokes in 1712, she became acting Proprietor of Pennsylvania. While in this role, the Crown put great pressure on her to surrender the colony for a cash settlement that would relieve the Penn family of debt. Hannah Penn, through careful planning and difficult decisions, was able to prevent the surrender of the colony to the Crown.Conlon, Emily L. “Two women who led in colonial days.”</p><br>
<p>Friends Journal. 15 October 1982. 28.</p><br>
<p>Due to her financial management, the proprietary colony remained in the hands of Hannah&#39;s branch of the Penn family until the Revolution. Penn later became the first woman awarded the status of Honorary Citizen of United States. This honor, which was conferred to her by President Ronald Reagan through a Presidential Proclamation in 1984, cited her “devotion to the pursuit of peace and justice."</p><br>
<p>Major General Washburn purchased the home and property as a wedding gift for his daughter Jeannette Garr Washburn and her husband Albert Warren Kelsey. Though Major General Washburn never resided on the property, his leadership and service to his country left a lasting impact on his daughter and descendants.</p><br>
<p>During the Civil War, Washburn organized the Wisconsin Volunteer Cavalry for the Union Army and earned his rank as major general. Washburn came from a family of political and business leaders. He served as the governor of Wisconsin for one term, USA Congressmen for ten years, and was one of the seven famous Washburn brothers; three of whom served their country in roles of governor, congressional representative and USA Secretary of State.

<p>The Burk Burnett Building is a building in downtown Fort Worth, Texas, located in Sundance Square. It has twelve floors and is 156 ft high. The ground floor of the building is occupied by Worthington National Bank. The Burk Burnett Building has been listed on National Register of Historic Places since November 12, 1980.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Burk Burnett Building was designed by Sanguinet & Staats and built in 1914. At the time of construction, it was the tallest building of the city and became the first skyscraper in Fort Worth. It was originally occupied by the State National Bank. The bank was declared bankrupt in 1915, and the building was bought by Samuel Burk Burnett and renamed. The building underwent renovations in 1980 and 1984. In particular, in 1984 the old bank lobby was restored. In 2005, the Worthington National Bank restored the lobby, hiring for this an artist, Xiang Xian.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The Burk Burnett Building was the last of three buildings constructed by Sanguinet & Staats and similar in design. The first two were the ALICO Building in Waco (1911) and the Rand Building in San Antonio (1913). It is built in a neoclassical style. The lower part of the building (two floors) is made of white terracotta and of granite columns, the middle part (eight floors) is of red brick with terracotta layers separating floors, and the top part (two floors) is decorated white terracotta.</p><br>
<p>In 1919, the building in Fort Worth currently known as Hilton Fort Worth Hotel was specifically constructed by Sanguinet & Staats to resemble the Burk Burnett Building.</p><br>
<p>Rosenberg&#39;s Department Store is located at Fourth and D Streets in downtown Santa Rosa, California. The structure is the most significant example of the Streamline Moderne style in Santa Rosa, and was the tallest building in the city for many years.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The store was planned to replace a 1907 store owned by Max and Fred Rosenberg that burned in 1936. The design for the new store was carried out by Hertzka and Knowles of San Francisco in 1936, and construction by contractors Moore and Roberts started on January 19, 1937. The store opened on October 27, 1937, along with the Purity grocery store in a one-story section.</p><br>
<p>A model of the building was shown as "an exemplar of future architectural technology" at the 1939 San Francisco World&#39;s Fair.</p><br>
<p>In 1951 Joseph Edward McNeany purchased Rosenbergs for $1.5 million (~$ in ). The store was substantially renovated and expanded in 1964. After modernizing the three-story store it was merged in 1966 with Aldens Inc., a Chicago-based mail order and retail sales subsidiary of Gambel-Skogmo. Under terms of the agreement, McNeany stayed on as a consultant and his son, William, became vice president and general manager of Rosenbergs. It closed in 1988 and was vacant until 1994. That year, the Art Deco Society of California recognized the structure with its Preservation Award in 1988 to encourage the building&#39;s owners to save the structure.</p><br>
<p>The city government approved demolition of the store in 1994, but it was subsequently saved when bookstore chain Barnes & Noble leased the space. The building was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on December 29, 1994.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>Rosenberg&#39;s is a two-story structure measuring about 140 ft by 120 ft, with an attached 126 ft by 108 ft one-story section. The front is dominated by an Art Moderne style marquee and sign that extends beyond the roof, with the main entrance under the marquee. The steel-framed structure is clad with stucco-covered cast in place concrete. The lower level features continuous plate glass display windows, with a curved corner above set apart by string courses or "speed lines", inset with glass block clerestory windows. Large punched openings with keystone-like vertical stripes define the second floor bays. The marquee section is defined by flanking pylons embracing a tall, glass block window whose surface undulates. A fin or "blade sign" rises from the top of the window to about 10 ft above the roof, where it originally carried neon lettering advertising the store. A taller fin is set back and rises much higher, to 50 ft above the roof. It is translucent, and was internally lighted with green neon. The one-story section is much plainer, with a continuous canopy across the front. The entrance to this section is marked by two arches in the canopy.</p><br>
<p>The interior has a high-ceilinged section overlooked by a mezzanine. Interior columns have capitals resembling Egyptian prototypes. The mezzanine and stair railings are slender horizontal bars with birch handrails.</p><br>
<p>The Rock Café in Stroud, Oklahoma, a historic restaurant on USA Route 66, takes its name from the local sandstone used in its construction.</p><br>
<p>Originally built in 1936 and opened in 1939, the Rock Café reopened on May 29, 2009 after extensive repairs by historic preservationist David Burke due to damage from a 2008 fire. The restaurant&#39;s cookbook, written during the rebuilding effort, was published in November 2009.</p><br>
<p>Rock Café proprietor Dawn Welch, a long-time promoter of USA Route 66 in Oklahoma selected by The Oklahoman as Oklahoma&#39;s 2009 Woman of the Year, is the basis for animated character Sally Carrera in the Pixar film Cars.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Roy Rieves started building the Rock Café in 1936 during the Dust Bowl era of the Great Depression and relied on local materials to build the café&#39;s distinctive stone exterior, doing much of the construction work himself or hiring students. The original costs included $100 for the land and $5 for local Kellyville sandstone left over from construction on the USA Route 66 roadway which had come to Stroud, Oklahoma in 1926.</p><br>
<p>The café opened in August 1939, initially operating under manager Miss Thelma Holloway, and was a busy local Greyhound bus stop during World War II. Its neon signage was installed in the late 1940s. Mamie Mayfield operated the Rock Café twenty-four hours a day in 1959 and retired at age 70 on July 14, 1983.</p><br>
<p>Business from cross-country truckers declined with the construction of Interstate 44 in Oklahoma, a toll road, although Highway 66 remains as a free alternative to the Turner Turnpike. After USA Route 66 was decommissioned in 1985, highway 66 became Oklahoma State Highway 66. Dawn Welch, the current proprietor, acquired the café from Ed Smalley in 1993.</p><br>
<p>Mamie J. Mayfields (December 22, 1912 - September 25, 1994) name was kept alive in the form of a souvenir shop, Mamies General Store.</p><br>
<p>In 1999, an F3 tornado heavily damaged Stroud, destroying the town&#39;s 53-store Tanger Outlet mall and wiping out a handful of key local employers including a Sygma food service distribution facility. The Rock Café survived, though its neon sign was damaged, but business was down by half due to the state of the fragile local economy. In 2001, the Rock Café was listed on the National Register of Historic Places, qualifying it for matching grants and loans to finance its historic restoration.</p><br>
<p>When the first Pixar crews researching Route 66 stopped at the Rock Café in 2001, restoration and repair of the 1999 tornado damage was not yet complete; the neon flickered briefly but failed to come to life. With a federal grant and a loan of $30,000 in matching funds, the Rock Café was restored with new heating and air conditioning systems, replacement of the original wiring, restoration of neon signage and a return of the building to its original layout.</p><br>
<p>In 2007, travelling artist Bob Waldmire depicted the café in one of his works; Food Network&#39;s Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives also devoted part of an episode to the Rock. On January 21, 2010, Dawn Welch appeared on NBC-TV´s Today show, cooking and promoting her book. The January 2010 edition of "Oklahoma Living" magazine named the Rock Café "Best Oklahoma Diner", featuring its proprietor in a cover photo.</p><br>
<p>Stroud, Oklahoma also slowly began to recover economically through increased activity in the oil and gas sectors and in tourism. While the destroyed outlet shopping mall was not rebuilt, the community successfully marketed its industrial park, and is now a leading small city in oilfield manufacturing and transportation, particularly in the rail and pipeline sectors.</p><br>
<p>The Potters Savings and Loan Company  was a savings and loan association in East Liverpool, Ohio. The association was organized by John Purinton and incorporated on February 11, 1889.</p><br>
<p>The Potters Building and Savings Company purchased land on Washington Street in East Liverpool in 1903. The savings and loan building was built in 1904. The architects for the project were Owsley & Boucherle of Youngstown, Ohio. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on November 14, 1985.</p><br>
<p>The Meeker Hotel dates from 1896 and is one of the oldest operating hotels in Colorado. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The hotel was built in 1896, at a time when Meeker was a prominent stagecoach stop and visitors were drawn to the beauty of the White River Valley. At this time there were many hotels in Meeker, but none compared with the brick structure built by Rueben Sanford Ball. An east and west wing were added to the hotel in 1904, greatly expanding its square footage and boosting the number of rooms to forty. A series of pictures by H.A. Wildhack depict the building of the hotel. Construction on the hotel took place between June 9, 1896, and July 15, 1896. Materials were being shipped by freight wagon from Rifle.</p><br>
<p>The Meeker Hotel is the only historic hotel still standing in the northwest corner of Colorado.</p><br>
<h2>Meeker Café history</h2><br>
<p>The stone building, which currently houses the Meeker Café, was originally called the Vorges Bldg. It opened for business on May 9, 1891, as Meekers new Post Office building. In 1904, it became the 1st National Bank Building and in 1918, Rueben S. Ball moved the café out of the hotel to its present location. Phil Jensen, longtime resident of Meeker, related a story of how back in the early 1930s he sat in the cafés antique booths when they were located in the Midwest Café in Craig. Sometime in the mid-1930s the art deco style booths, counter top and bar back were moved to the Meeker Café.</p><br>
<h2>Historic site</h2><br>
<p>The hotel was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.</p><br>
<p>The East Liverpool Downtown Historic District is located in East Liverpool, Ohio. The district, which covers approximately 22 acre, was added to the National Register of Historic Places in May 2001.The district is bordered by West Sixth Street, Dresden Avenue, Welch Avenue, Broadway, Walnut and East Fourth Streets, and East Alley.</p><br>
<p>East Liverpool, Ohio, was a thriving center of the pottery making business in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. From the 1880s until 1910 the population of the city increased from around 5,000 to over 22,000 people. The historic downtown district is notable for its Italianate and Second Empire artchitecture as well as its prominence as a commercial center in East Liverpool&#39;s history.</p><br>
<p>The Provine Service Station  is a historic filling station on USA Route 66 in Oklahoma. Located a half-mile south of Hydro, Oklahoma and operated by Lucille Hamons from 1941 until her death on August 18, 2000, the site was added to the US National Register of Historic Places in 1997.</p><br>
<p>&#39;Lucille Hamons generous assistance to motorists on USA Route 66 during hard economic times at the end of the Great Depression would make her a US Route 66 legend, earning the nickname "Mother of the Mother Road."</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Opened by Carl Ditmore in 1929, this is one of the few remaining examples of a two-story fuel station with the owner&#39;s residence situated above the pumps on an upper floor. W.O. and Ida Waldroup changed the name to Provine Service Station after buying the station in 1934 and would later add tourist cabins to provide five motel rooms on-site.</p><br>
<p>Lucille and Carl Hamons acquired the Provine Station in 1941, a few months before the US entry into World War II. Mobilisation for war brought wartime rationing of fuel and tires, causing civilian traffic on the highway to decline. Carl Hamons worked as an independent trucker, leaving Lucille to operate the station and the motel. Traffic on US 66 would then increase substantially during the 1950s and 1960s, only to vanish with the completion of Interstate 40 in the area in 1971.</p><br>
<p>After the highway was bypassed, the motel closed and Carl and Lucille would divorce but Lucille&#39;s would continue to serve a largely local clientele. The station became known for vending very cold beer from its old cooler at a time when nearby Weatherford, Oklahoma (home of Southwestern Oklahoma State University) was officially a dry town. The last fuel was dispensed in 1986 and the station ultimately became a souvenir shop, with demand in the 1990s driven largely by nostalgia surrounding a road which by then had become not merely a decommissioned highway but a powerful symbol of a bygone era.</p><br>
<p>The original "Hamons Court" motel sign was donated by the Hamons family in 2003 to the Smithsonian National Museum of American History, where it is now displayed as part of an exhibition on "America on the Move".</p><br>
<p>The Spieth and Krug Brewery, also known as "Union Hall" and "Maxey Block", is a brewery established in 1867 in Bozeman, Montana by two German immigrants, Jacob Spieth and Charles Krug. The current building was built in 1882. In 1895, the brewery was bought by Julius Lehrkind, whose descendants still operate beverage businesses in Bozeman.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The current building was constructed from 1882 to 1883 with brick in a Victorian Italianate architecture style for Jacob Spieth and Charles Krug, brewers who had immigrated to America from Germany. The 1867 structure burned down and was rebuilt in 1882. It had a similar architectural style at its corners but was framed instead of brick. The building is built over Bozeman Creek, which runs through downtown Bozeman. The waterway, particularly its rural portion, is also known as Sourdough Creek. The creek water was used for brewing and refrigeration. The upper floor has served as a dance hall. Daniel Maxey was the brewery manager in the early 1890s. In 1945, the Bozeman Trades and Labor Council remodelled the second floor, which became known as Union Hall. In 1983, the ground floor of the brewery building became the site of "John Bozeman&#39;s Bistro" for many years until the restaurant moved to a different building on West Main Street.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Jacob Friedrich Spieth was born on April 10, 1833, in Hegensberg near Esslingen, Württemberg, and died in Montana. He arrived in America on October 6, 1854, aboard the Eliza Challory. He spent some time on farms in Ohio and Illinois and moved to Alder Gulch, Montana, in 1863, where he began mining gold. Spieth also farmed and raised livestock. After relocating to various gold mining camps in Montana, he had the opportunity to meet Charles Krug. The brewery business grew steadily for at least 20 years. Barbara A. Shock/Schok (1844–1931) married Spieth on July 10, 1871, in Hudson City, New York. They had four sons and one daughter. Spieth committed suicide using strychnine on April 10, 1892. Hellinger & Hansen bought the business and then sold it to Julius Lehrkind. Charles Krug was born in Germany in 1844 and came to America in 1856, initially settling in Missouri. He moved to Virginia City, Montana in 1864 and began mining gold.</p><br>
<p>Charles Krug died on May 7, 1888. Upon Krugs death, Spieth inherited Krugs share of the brewery and saloon business. Spieth died almost exactly four years later, in 1892. Both of them died intestate, leaving no will, and both mens estates were considered insolvent. In 1888, Anne Ryan had obtained a $9,000 judgment against the partnership. When the judgment had not been paid by the time Spieth died, they filed suit against the administrator of Krugs estate and Barbara Spieth, the administrator of Spieths estate, claiming that the Spieths had conspired to give Barbara all of the business assets in order to defraud its creditors—but also claiming this alleged conspiracy began two years before Krugs death. The estate administrators objected to the lawsuit, seeking dismissal. The suit was dismissed by the local court, essentially because it was so poorly drafted, but also because Ryan had not exhausted her legal remedies. On appeal in 1896, the Montana Supreme Court agreed that the complaint was "uncertain, ambiguous, and unintelligible". Also, it noted that the attorney who had drafted it had since been disbarred for "dishonourable and unprofessional conduct". The court found that executing judgment on the Krug and Spieth estates would be useless, as Ryan knew there were no assets. Noting the legal maxim that the law does not require a meaningless act, and finding that there were issues of equity involved, the state Supreme Court found that Ryan did have adequate grounds for the suit to be filed, no matter how poorly the initial documents had been drafted. Sympathetic to Ryan and her new attorney, the Court issued an unusual decision: the justices upheld most of the reasons for the trial courts dismissal but also created a remedy for Ryans alleged wrong: they remanded the case back to the lower court and did not fully affirm the dismissal; the law contained a possibility to allow the complaint to be amended to remove the objectionable sections, and so the District Court was instructed to give Ryans new attorney 30 days to amend the complaint and re-file it so that the case could go forward, but if the new attorney did not appropriately amend the complaint, then the dismissal would be affirmed.</p><br>
<h2>Lehrkind purchase</h2><br>
<p>While the brewery was having legal woes, Julius Lehrkind, a German immigrant who spent the previous 26 years running a brewery in Davenport, Iowa, moved to Bozeman in 1895, bought the Spieth and Krug Brewery, moved it to the north end of town, and renamed it the Bozeman Brewery. He brought his extended family and a crew of experienced brewers with him. Bozeman Brewery opened in 1895 and was the largest building in Bozeman until 1957 when the Brick Breeden Fieldhouse opened at Montana State University. Lehrkind also ran the Red Lodge Brewery in Red Lodge, Montana. Soon after opening his own brewery in 1895, Lehrkind also entered the soft drink business, making sarsaparilla and lemon soda. In 1914, he was awarded the local Coca-Cola franchise. The brewery went out of business when prohibition came in 1919, but the Coca-Cola business is still in operation as Lehrkind&#39;s Coca-Cola Bottling. The Lehrkind Mansion, built in 1897, is now a bed and breakfast and part of the Bozeman Brewery Historic District.</p><br>
<p>The Union Arcade is an apartment building located in downtown Davenport, Iowa, United States. The building was individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983 by its original name Union Savings Bank and Trust. Originally, the building was built to house a bank and other professional offices. Although it was not the citys largest bank, and it was not in existence all that long, the building is still associated with Davenports financial prosperity between 1900 and 1930. From 2014 to 2015 the building was renovated into apartments and it is now known as Union Arcade Apartments. In 2020 it was included as a contributing property in the Davenport Downtown Commercial Historic District.</p><br>

<p>Union Savings Bank was established in Davenport in 1891. The bank moved to its Brady Street location around the turn of the 20th century It had previously been the location of Davenport National Bank until Union Savings Bank took it over. The lower level of the present building was completed around 1915 and the upper floors of the building were completed in 1924 for $820,000 according to the designs by the Davenport architectural firm Temple & Burrows. Hoggson Brothers, a New York bank construction company, was the general contractor in 1924.</p><br>
<p>As the bank grew it started to acquire other banks in the city. In the 1920s it merged with Davenport Savings Bank and Scott County Savings Bank and was renamed Union Savings Bank and Trust Company. After the start of the Great Depression many banks failed or were severely weakened. One of those banks was First National Bank, which Union Savings Bank and Trust took over before the Bank Holiday in 1933. The other Davenport banks who survived up to this time included: American Commercial and Savings Bank, Bechtel Trust Company, Northwest Davenport Savings Bank, and Home Savings Bank. The bank, however, was not one of the banks to emerge after the Bank Holiday. In 1946 a $75,000 renovation of the former banking hall created two floors of retail stores, which was when the building was renamed the Union Arcade. Davenport architectural firm Kruse & Parish designed the renovation and Tunnicliff Construction Company was the general contractor. Professional offices occupied the upper floors.</p><br>
<p>Rodney Blackwell of Financial District Properties bought the Union Arcade in late 2013 for $1.65 million. In March 2014 a renovation project began to turn the building into 68 market-rate apartments with commercial space on the main level. The $16.65 million project was completed in May 2015. Three of the apartments are lofts and the rest are studios and one- and two-bedroom units. The mezzanine was converted into a resident lounge and a laundry room. The building&#39;s original marble floors were retained in the common areas, and the mail chute and historic doors were left in place for appearances.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The building is a seven-story, L-shaped structure designed in the Neoclassical and the emerging Chicago Commercial Style. The main façade of the building fronted Brady Street, with its secondary façade on East Third Street. It is built of limestone and it has a limestone foundation. The Neoclassical details are found primarily on the street level façade, which was the part of the building constructed around 1915. When it was built it had columns in the Ionic order at the street level side on Brady Street. On the north side, the columns become pilasters featuring the Corinthian order.</p><br>
<p>The upper floors were constructed nine years after the lower level of the building. It is here that the Chicago Commercial Style is in evidence. The windows are stacked in pairs between the vertical piers and are themselves separated by decorative metal spandrel panels. The top of the building features a heavy cornice.</p><br>
<p>Kruse & Parish was the architectural firm that remodeled the building&#39;s storefront to function as the Union Arcade. It is probably at that time that the Ionic columns were removed from the building. The mezzanine level, which provides a transition to the upper levels, was also added at that time.</p><br>
<p>The King City High School Auditorium, also known as the Robert Stanton Theater, is an Art Moderne style auditorium at the King City High School in King City, California. Built in 1939 with Works Progress Administration funding, the auditorium is one of several buildings in the area in a similar style, known as WPA Moderne. It was designed by architect Robert Stanton of Carmel, in partnership with Joseph Jacinto Mora, who designed and executed the building&#39;s extensive sculptural elements.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The King City High School Auditorium is executed in cast-in-place concrete. The design makes full use of concretes potential for plastic form, with compound curves, rounded corners and cast-in sculptural forms. The structure is somewhat elliptical in plan, with rounded corners. A projecting rounded bay at the front comprises the main entrance, with three pairs of doors separated by tall fluted pilasters surmounted by cast busts of Comedy and Tragedy, dividing a triptych relief sculpture that is itself divided into three levels. The ends of the facade curve around to the side elevations, which have inset fluted panels whose pilasters are crowned with more cast sculpture derived from characters from A Midsummer Nights Dream. The rear elevation is comparatively plain and utilitarian.</p><br>
<p>The lobby is detailed with bright blue wainscoting and ceilings. Curved stairs give access to the balcony on either side of the lobby, with six doors into the main house. Floors throughout are covered in cork, as well as in the aisles of the auditorium. The auditorium seats 596 in the orchestra section and 387 in the balcony. The proscenium surrounding the stage features Mora reliefs and concave fluted pilasters.</p><br>
<p>The King City Joint Union High School Auditorium was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on July 23, 1991.</p><br>
<p>The M-28–Tahquamenon River Bridge is a bridge located on M-28 over the Tahquamenon River in Chippewa Township, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places  in 1999.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In 1926, the Michigan State Highway Department (MSHD) improved M-28, by adding several miles of gravel roads and replacing some bridges, including this one over the Tahquamenon River. The department designed the bridge and solicited bids for its constructions. Walter Toebe and Company of Shingleton was awarded the contract to construct the bridge, and built it in 1926 for a cost of $24,286.08. It was listed on the NRHP on November 30, 1999.</p><br>
<h2>Historic context</h2><br>
<p>The MSHD standardized the designs of steel stringer bridges in 1905–06 and plate girder bridges in 1907–08. However, it was not until 1926, the year this bridge was built, that the department began encasing the steel girder webs in concrete. Why they did so is not entirely clear, and indeed the department abandoned the practice of encasing interior girders soon after. The Tahquamenon River Bridge is one of only two remaining bridges of this type in Michigan.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The M-28–Tahquamenon River Bridge is plate girder bridge built of nine steel girders encased in concrete. The girders are braced by concrete diaphragms and sit on large concrete abutments. The bridge spans 55 ft, and is 35 ft wide with a 30 ft roadway. A concrete deck covered with asphalt sits atop the bridge, and the roadway is lined with concrete guardrails made from fluted balusters and paneled bulkheads.</p><br>
<p>The Parker Road–Charlotte River Bridge, also known as the 10 Mile Road–Charlotte River Bridge, is a bridge building located on Parker Road  over the Charlotte River in Bruce Township, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Parker Road–Charlotte River Bridge is a three-panel, rigid-connected Warren Pony Truss bridge; the structural members of the bridge are made pairs of steel angles connected back-to-back, rather than the more traditional box beams. I-beams supporting the wooden deck and sits on concrete abutments with angled wingwalls. The span has been recently braced with timber pilings in the center, but otherwise is relatively unchanged. The bridge is closed to traffic and is no longer maintained.</p><br>
<h2>Historic context</h2><br>
<p>In the era before standard bridge designs were drafted by the Michigan State Highway Department, local road commissions were tempted to reduce costs by using lighter two-angle superstructure elements, as in this bridge. This bridge was built in 1914 by the Minneapolis Bridge Company, likely at the behest of the Bruce Township Board. It is the only example of this type of two-angle superstructure truss bridge in Michigan that has been definitively dated.</p><br>
<p>The Monterey County Court House is the court house for Monterey County in Salinas, California, United States.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The first Monterey County Court House was built in 1878, designed by Jacob Lenez, Jr., which was a brick Victorian building. The courthouse remained in use until 1937, when it was demolished. Today a courtyard, lily pond, and commemorative sculpture occupy the site.</p><br>
<p>The second court house was designed by local architect Robert Stanton in the Art Moderne or WPA Moderne style, and was built in 1937 using funds provided by the Works Progress Administration (WPA). The courthouse features extensive sculpture by Joseph Jacinto Mora. It is currently used by the Monterey County Superior Court.</p><br>
<p>Stanton designed the courthouse to be built around the previous courthouse leaving a landscaped courtyard space surrounded by an arcade. The two and three story concrete structure cost $450,000, with two stories in concrete and a glass-and-steel third floor the rear of the complex. It is extensively embellished by Mora&#39;s sculpture and reliefs, with comparatively sober detailing around the perimeter and more extensive decoration on the courtyard elevations, with customized relief friezes at the tops of the fluted rectangular arcade columns. Small bronze castings decorate the doors and a large freestanding Mora sculpture in travertine forms the centerpiece of the courtyard. Subjects were drawn from the history of California. There are a total of 62 busts of individuals from California history in the window spandrels, and five travertine reliefs of scenes from Monterey County history.</p><br>
<p>The courthouse was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on January 8, 2009.</p><br>

<p>The District 7 School is a historic one-room schoolhouse at 565 Main Street in Hanson, Massachusetts. The single-story wood-frame structure was built in 1845, and is the town&#39;s oldest surviving schoolhouse. It has two entry doors to anterooms which lead to the main schoolroom. The building was enlarged, apparently in 1882, when it was also moved across the street from its original location. It was moved again in 1939, to a position adjacent to the Thomas Elementary School, where it was used as a "portable" classroom. Finally, in 1963 it was moved to its present location, and has served since as a museum and meeting space operated by the local historical society.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2005.</p><br>
<p>The District 7 School is a historic school building at 366 Chicopee Row in Groton, Massachusetts. The one-room single story brick building was built c. 1833, and is one of four surviving district schools  in the town. The building has only very limited vernacular Federal styling, but has retained interior finish work from both the early and late 19th century. The property includes a 19th-century outhouse. The building served as a school until 1916, after which time it was taken over by a community non-profit for use as a community center.</p><br>
<p>The schoolhouse was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2008.</p><br>
<p>The Palace of Fine and Decorative Arts, also known as Building 3, on Treasure Island in San Francisco Bay, California, was an aircraft hangar constructed in 1938 for Pan American World Airways trans-Pacific Clipper services, and then modified for the 1939-40 Golden Gate International Exposition. Building 3 was one of a pair of identical hangars built to house Pan Americans flying boats at the south end of the island. Building 1 was to be the airline&#39;s terminal building, and Buildings 2 and 3 would house the aircraft. For the exposition, these buildings were converted to exhibition halls, surrounded by a complex of temporary structures. At the end of the exposition all structures but Buildings 1, 2 and 3 were to be torn down to make way for the development of the reclaimed land as an airport for San Francisco.</p><br>
<h2>Original structure</h2><br>
<p>Buildings 1, 2 and 3 were designed by San Francisco architects George W. Kelham and William Peyton Day. They were designed in the Art Moderne style considered appropriate for an aviation terminal. Initial construction of the buildings as airplane hangars was complete by July 1938. Building 3 was a reinforced concrete structure about 335 ft long and 225 ft wide, and 80 ft tall on a concrete pile foundation. The roof is a three-hinge riveted steel arch. A one-story section, intended to be retained for the hangar, is 40 ft wide the length of the southeast side.</p><br>
<h2>Exhibition hall</h2><br>
<p>For use as the Palace of Fine and Decorative Arts a 48,600 ft&sup2; one-story addition wraps around the other three sides of Building 3. The addition is constructed of reinforced concrete sprayed with stucco. Four concrete towers each almost 68 ft tall are on the corners. A formal entrance faces northwest in a concave indentation with scallops or broad flutes in the surface of the marquee over the door. From the other elevations the structure&#39;s heritage as a hangar is visible, with the taller hangar section looming over the additions.</p><br>
<p>The interior was fitted out for the exposition with curving temporary plaster walls to house a $20 million collection of artwork, designed by Dorothy Wright Liebes and Shepard Vogelsang. The space was extensively subdivided into small galleries.</p><br>
<p>The 1939 season of the exposition was a failure, with half the visitation expected at only 10 million patrons. The exposition closed two months early, four million dollars in debt. It reopened in 1940. For the 1940 season Diego Rivera painted the Pan Am Unity fresco. The fair closed on September 29, 1940, still in debt.</p><br>
<h2>Navy use</h2><br>
<p>Following the fairs closure the USA Navy, which already had a station on adjacent Yerba Buena Island, took over Treasure Island as the Naval Training and Distribution Center, Treasure Island. The station trained security forces for merchant ships after the United States entry into World War II. The Palace of Fine and Decorative Arts became an equipment repair center. The Hall of Transportation (Building 2) reverted to use as a hangar. The Administration Building (Building 1) continued to serve as an administration center. At the end of the war the station became a major separation facility for returning servicemen being mustered out of the armed services. The station was finally closed in 1997.</p><br>
<p>Building 3 has since been used as a film production location. It was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on February 26, 2008.</p><br>
<p>Bridge in Upper Merion Township is a historic stone arch bridge located at Gulph Mills in Upper Merion Township, Pennsylvania. The bridge was built in 1789. It has a single 20 ft span with a width of 34 feet , and an overall length of 100 ft. The bridge crosses Gulph Creek.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988. The Bridge in Upper Mention is, as of August 2021, the fifth-oldest bridge in use in the United States.</p><br>
<p>In 2021, the bridge structure was repaired and rehabilitated by contractor J.D. Eckman, with 100% funding from the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation, known as PennDOT.</p><br>
<p>The Eureka Theater is an Art Moderne–style cinema built in 1939 in Eureka, California. The movie theater was initially proposed in 1937 as part of a larger development that would include a five-story, 162-room hotel, which was soon scaled back to the theater with flanking commercial spaces. Built by theater magnate George M. Mann, the theater was designed by noted San Francisco designer William B. David, who had once worked in the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Art Department in the mid-1930s. The Eureka Theater was considered an ultra-modern movie theater when constructed in 1939 and was an expression of optimism and confidence in Eureka and Humboldt County, California as they pulled out of the Depression. The Eureka Theater ceased showing regularly scheduled movies on August 1, 1996. The theater is currently undergoing restoration, and is available for rent as a performance or event venue.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Eureka Theater features a symmetrical stucco facade built of cubic forms rising to a 50 ft tall vertical pylon sign bearing the letters EUREKA over the theaters marquee. At ground level the lobby entrance is centered between storefronts. The lobby is overhung by a projecting canopy with a rolled edge. A V-shaped attraction board rests on the marquee and appears to support the pylon. The complex pylon mounts in receding block forms as it rises. Although it appears to be a monolith, it is actually supported by a frame structure with a stucco appliqué. The second floor features subsidiary blocks with smaller windows and accent lines, housing the owners apartment.</p><br>
<p>The outer lobby is a shallow semicircle with a mosaic tile floor extending to the sidewalk. The walls have a maroon subway tile wainscot, with chrome tile accent stripes. A large light fixture with chrome accents is centered over the octagonal ticket booth. The booth has tile that matches the outer lobby wainscot. A blue glass pane above the ticket window is designed to be illuminated when the box office is open for business. The lobby is flanked by storefront spaces, whose transom windows are accented by a horizontal grillage. The other elevations are comparatively plain, with large concrete surfaces.</p><br>
<p>The inner foyer is narrow, less than 6 ft wide, with a number of Art Moderne details. The entrance doors retain their original custom hardware of brass and Bakelite. The ceiling is extensively detailed. The foyer leads to the grand lobby, which is approximately oval, accented by a stepped curving ceiling detail and a central light fixture with multicolored glass. Columns flanking the entrance feature glazed panels that match the light fixture, and which can themselves be illuminated.</p><br>
<p>The Eureka Theater was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on January 7, 2010.</p><br>
<p>Bryn Athyn-Lower Moreland Bridge is a historic stone arch bridge located between Bryn Athyn and Lower Moreland Township, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania. The bridge was built in 1828 and in 1858. It has two 12 ft, semi-circular spans with an overall length of 75 ft. The bridge crosses a branch of Pennypack Creek.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.</p><br>
<p>Skippack Bridge, also known as Montgomery County Bridge No. 142, is a historic stone arch bridge located near Evansburg in Lower Providence Township, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania. The bridge was built in 1792 and repaired in 1874. It has eight spans, is 33 ft wide, with an overall length of 202 ft. The bridge carries Germantown Pike across Skippack Creek.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1970.</p><br>
<p>Hanging Rock, also known as Overhanging Rock, or locally as Drummond&#39;s head, is a historic natural feature which is located in Gulph Mills, Upper Merion Township, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania. It is a large natural outcropping of phyllite that protrudes approximately eight feet over a roadway, Pennsylvania Route 320 , which was laid out as a public highway between 1711 and 1712.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1997.</p><br>
<h2>History and geographical features</h2><br>
<p>The road near Hanging Rock, Pennsylvania Route 320 (South Gulph Road), was built between 1711 and 1712 to serve as a public highway. It was subsequently used by General George Washington and the Continental Army to move troops into Valley Forge for the winter encampment of 1777–1778.</p><br>
<p>The rock formation was dedicated as a memorial to that march by the Valley Forge Historical Society in 1924.</p><br>
<p>In 1917 and 1954, holes were drilled into Hanging Rock for the placement of dynamite in an effort to remove the rock. This, along with erosion and vehicle collisions, has changed the shape of the rock over time. The "overhang" of the rock has decreased since the invention of the automobile as car crashes have chipped away at the rock over the years.</p><br>
<p>In January 2020, PennDot started a project to realign Route 320 (South Gulph Road) away from Hanging Rock, which had protruded into the roadway, resulting in limited sight distances; the project was completed in June 2022.</p><br>
<p>Hanging Rock was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1997.</p><br>
<p>The George K. Heller School, also known as the Cheltenham Center for the Arts, is a historic school building located in Ashmead Village, Cheltenham Township, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania. It was originally built in 1883 to house the first Cheltenham High School, and expanded in 1893 and 1906. Later additions took place between 1963 and 1969, after it was converted to the Cheltenham Center for the Arts. The stone school building ranges from 1 1/2- to 2 1/2-stories and has intersecting gable roofs. The roof is topped by a square cupola. A school was located on this site as early as 1795 and it was considered the oldest public school site in continuous use at the time of its closing in 1953.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2001.</p><br>
<h2>History and architectural features</h2><br>
<p>With educational activities having taken place on this site as early as 1795, this historic property was considered by historians to the oldest public school site in continuous use in the region at the time of its closing in 1953. Built on this site in 1883, the George K. Heller School (Cheltenham Center for the Arts) was designed to house the first Cheltenham High School; it was then subsequently expanded in 1893 and 1906 with other additions erected in 1963 and 1969 after the structure was converted to the Cheltenham Center for the Arts. Ranging from 1 1/2- to 2 1/2-stories, this stone school has intersecting gable roofs, topped by a square cupola.</p><br>
<h3>Placement on the National Register of Historic Places</h3><br>
<p>The NRHP nomination application for the George K. Heller School was formally reviewed by Pennsylvania&#39;s Historic Preservation Board at its March 13, 2001 meeting at 9:45 a.m. at the State Museum in Harrisburg. Also considered for NRHP status at this time were the: Protection of the Flag Monument in Athens, Pennsylvania; Normandy Farm and Upper Roxborough Historic District in Montgomery County; Awbury Historic District and Harris/Laird, Schober & Company Building in Philadelphia; Michael Derstine Farmstead in Bucks County; Chester Heights Camp Meeting Historic District in Delaware County; John Nicholas and Elizabeth Moyer House in Berks County; William Shelly School and Annex in York County; and the Zeta Psi Fraternity House in Northampton County.</p><br>
<p>This historic school was then officially listed on the National Register of Historic Places later in 2001.</p><br>
<p>Carson College for Orphan Girls, also known as Carson Valley School, is a historic school complex and national historic district located in Flourtown, Springfield Township, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania. The buildings remain in active use by the same institution, now coeducational and named Carson Valley Children&#39;s Aid.</p><br>
<h2>Buildings</h2><br>
<p>The district encompasses nine contributing buildings. They are an assemblage of low-scale, Tudor Revival style structures built between 1917 and 1932. It includes the Mother Goose Cottage (1917-1920), Red Gables Cottage (1917-1920), Stork Hill (1918), Thistle Cottage (1917-1920), Upper Beech Cottage (c. 1930), Lower Beech Cottage (c. 1930), Beech Branch Cottage (c. 1930), a garage (1917-1920), and a shop / storehouse (1932). The campus was designed by architect Albert Kelsey (1870-1950) to be reminiscent of a 16th-century English village.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991.</p><br>
<h2>The school</h2><br>
<p>Founded in 1917 by Philadelphia philanthropists Robert and Isabel Carson, the school was renamed Carson Valley Childrens Aid (CVCA) after a 2008 merger with the Norristown-based Childrens Aid Society. CVCA provides regular and special education, behavioral therapy and psychotherapy for 6th–12th grade boys and girls who have behavioral disorders or mental illnesses, in residential as well as day school programs.</p><br>
