<p>The Fillmore Block, now known as the Dows Mercantile Store, is a historic building located in Dows, Iowa, United States. The Dows commercial district was destroyed in a fire in 1894. This building was completed for $12,000 in 1895 for D.H. Fillmore, a member of a prominent family in the community. The two-story Victorian Romanesque Revival style structure was designed by A.H. Conner & Co. It was one of 17 stores constructed in the commercial area. The building housed a variety commercial enterprises including a restaurant, ladies clothing and dress goods, boots and shoes, notions, groceries, flour, hardware, furniture and the like. It was acquired by the Dows Historical Society in 1987. It was reopened two years later as an antique mall that also sells Iowa-made products. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.</p><br>
<p>The Lisbon Historic District is located at the intersection of USA Route 30 and Ohio route 45 in Lisbon, Ohio. The district covers approximately 42 acre.</p><br>
<p>The town of Lisbon was located along important land and water transportation routes from the east into newly settled territories in the west. As a result of this, Lisbon, the second oldest town in Ohio, played an important part in the development of Ohio, which had been granted statehood in 1803.</p><br>
<p>The district features a number of commercial and residential buildings which were constructed during the period from 1810–1900. The buildings, examples of predominantly Federal architecture, were mostly constructed of brick. The historic district encompasses the original town square (pictured).</p><br>
<p>The Lisbon Historic District was added to the National Register of Historic Places in August 1979.</p><br>
<p>Shober Bridge is a historic humpback bridge carrying Ellis Street across the Norfolk Southern Railway in Salisbury, North Carolina, one of two timber bridges in the city. It has asphalt on top of a wooden deck and has needed replacement for many years. Currently, the Shober Bridge has a six-ton weight limit, meaning large trucks and emergency vehicles cannot use it. Historic Salisbury Foundation calls it "a contributing structure to the Ellis Street Graded School Historic District and... a gateway entrance to Salisbury proper." It was named for Col. Francis Shober, who represented Salisbury in the United States Congress in the late 1860s. In 1999, the Shober Bridge was named to the National Register of Historic Places as part of the Ellis Street Graded School Historic District.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Western North Carolina Railroad opened in 1858 between Salisbury and Morganton. In 1896, Southern Railway Company (now Norfolk Southern) took over operation of the railroad. During the American Civil War, Gen. George Stoneman crossed the railroad where the bridge is now. By 1880, according to Norfolk Southern, a bridge had been built. Plans for a replacement bridge had been made by 1926, and the current bridge was apparently built between 1932 and 1944.</p><br>
<p>On February 9, 1962, four African-American children crossed the Shober Bridge on their way to integrating the all-white Frank B. John Elementary School.</p><br>
<p>In 1971, the state turned over the bridge to the city. By 1975, the city decided the bridge needed replacing. By 1985, the bridge was eligible for federal money to pay for 80 percent of its replacement cost. In 1996, the city wanted to build a new $1.4 million bridge west of the existing one as part of a major connector between Kerr Street and Mocksville Avenue. Area residents protested, since the plan would disrupt the historic district. The city agreed, and plans began for replacing the bridge at its existing location. In 2001, Norfolk Southern asked that the bridge be designed for three sets of tracks; the railroad had two tracks.</p><br>
<p>In January 2004, the new bridge was expected to be complete by 2005 or 2006.</p><br>
<p>By 2006, an engineer had a plan to upgrade the existing bridge.</p><br>
<p>On March 18, 2010 a letter to the Salisbury Post stated that the Historic Salisbury Foundation "strongly endorses and supports the proper rehabilitation of the historic Shober Bridge." Many homes in Salisbury at the time displayed signs with the message "Rehab Historic Shober Bridge. This landmark is worth saving!"</p><br>
<p>Work has been done on the bridge in recent years, but a permanent fix is needed. In 2010, the city was supporting upgrading the bridge provided fire trucks could use it. Norfolk Southern rejected plans to upgrade the bridge, so the city decided to do nothing.</p><br>
<p>The Cottonwood County Courthouse is the seat of government for Cottonwood County, Minnesota, United States, located in the city of Windom. It has been in continual use since its dedication in 1905. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1977 for its state-level significance in the themes of architecture and art. It was nominated for the neoclassicism expressed throughout the building, from the exterior architecture to the interior design and artwork.</p><br>
<h2>Origin</h2><br>
<p>On July 29, 1870, the Minnesota Legislature legally organized Cottonwood County. Its county commission first gathered to do their administrative work at a house in Big Bend, a small community 6 mi northwest of the future site of Windom. Since the commissioners lacked a permanent building where they could meet and store their paperwork, meeting in private homes was common.</p><br>
<p>As the countys population grew and demands on the judicial and governmental systems increased, local officials recognized the need to consolidate both people and paperwork, and residents began to call for a permanent home. Big Bend, however, didnt meet the county&#39;s needs because it was six miles away from any hotels and businesses. The commissioners decided to name Windom, which had been platted on June 20, 1871, as the county seat—in part because it had been chosen as a stop on the St. Paul and Sioux City Railroad. Cottonwood County commissioners first met in Windom in January 1872.</p><br>
<p>Talk of building a courthouse continued for a decade without action because the county needed to reserve its funds for countering the devastation caused by Rocky Mountain locusts between 1873 and 1877. In the meantime, Cottonwood County rented various structures in Windom to house the first government offices. By 1883, a wooden structure that met the county&#39;s needs was built. A decade later, however, it was too small, and local citizens talked about building a centrally located courthouse that would serve a population of 30,000.</p><br>
<h2>Construction</h2><br>
<p>The Cottonwood County commissioners toured four states to select an architect for the new courthouse. By November 1903, they chose the firm of Omeyer & Thori of Saint Paul. By March 1904, they awarded the construction contract to J. B. Nelson and Company, contractors in Mankato, for the sum of $59,994. Work began in April 1904 and the cornerstone was laid in July 1904. In October 1904, Odin J. Oyen of La Crosse, Wisconsin, who specialized in ecclesiastical decoration, received a contract to supervise the building&#39;s interior decoration.</p><br>
<p>As construction progressed, costs soared past the original estimate to $100,000, including interiors, when the county took advantage of a new state program that granted loans for the construction of courthouses. By August 1905 the building was complete. A dedication ceremony was held on November 3, 1905, with Governor John Johnson delivering the primary speech.</p><br>
<p>This event brought crowds to Windom to admire the new building, which consisted of two stories of red sandstone and brick set upon a rusticated basement. It combined elements of the Neoclassical and Renaissance Revival styles and included a central domed atrium which rose through the two upper stories and provided access to offices and chambers. In the second floor courtroom, Oyen executed the gold-leaf-embellished mural of "Justice" which was patterned after the painting of the same name in the Palais de Justice, Paris.</p><br>
<p>Between 1905 and 1909 work continued on the courthouse&#39;s grounds and interior. Sidewalks, gutters, and curbs were eventually completed. In 1927 professional landscapers planted 597 shrubs and trees.</p><br>
<h2>Later use</h2><br>
<p>Cottonwood County commissioners approved the first courthouse remodeling project in 1930, in part because of the need to accommodate new female voters, jurors, and staff inside the building. The jury room was remodeled and additional restroom space for women was added.</p><br>
<p>The next major remodeling project occurred during the Great Depression. A number of new governmental agencies were created which required space. During World War II, additional agencies were created to deal with new crises. The basement was remodeled to give agents more room. In 1977, the Cottonwood County Courthouse was placed in the National Register of Historical Places.</p><br>
<p>This pattern of modernization and reparation has continued until the present day. Elevators to aid the disabled and a musical dome that chimes every day are two of the more notable modern improvements. Through all the changes, the Cottonwood County Courthouse has remained a historical gem and a source of pride for the people of the county.</p><br>
<p>The Isaac Bargen House is a historic house located in Mountain Lake, Minnesota, Minnesota, United States, built in 1888.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>It was originally built as the house Isaac A. Bargen (1857–1943), a transformational educator and administrator who was one of the first in his Mennonite community to promote secular public education and government service. The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on June 13, 1986.</p><br>
<p>The Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapolis, and Omaha Depot was a depot for the Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapolis and Omaha Railway. It is located on Fourth Street at First Avenue in Westbrook, Cottonwood County, Minnesota, United States. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on June 13, 1986. It is now the Westbrook Heritage House Museum with indoor and outdoor exhibits on local history.</p><br>
<p>The Mountain Lake Site  is an archaeological site in Mountain Lake Township, Minnesota, United States. It is a deeply stratified village site spanning the precontact era from the late Archaic to an Oneota occupation, with a particular concentration of Woodland period ceramics. The site is atop a hill that was formerly an island in a lake. The site was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1977 for its state significance in the theme of archaeology.</p><br>
<p>In the late 1970s the site was developed into Mountain County Park, a public park operated by Cottonwood County.</p><br>
<h2>Indigenous occupation</h2><br>
<p>Cottonwood County&#39;s now-dry Mountain Lake was the site of Native American villages and encampments over the course of 3,000 years. The area has provided clues—some of the oldest evidence of human habitation in present-day Minnesota—about the lives of a group of people who remained relatively isolated from Upper Mississippi River trade networks.</p><br>
<p>Named by William Mason for the raised island in its center, Mountain Lake shows a near-continuous record of human activity stretching back 3,000 years. In 1976, an archeological team led by Joseph Hudak carrying out a dig there found traces of an ancient village. Carbon dating determined the remains of a round dwelling on the site to be roughly 2,100 years old, making it the oldest dwelling yet found in Minnesota. The amount of material uncovered on the dwelling site indicated that it had been used for only one winter season, making it a remarkably intact snapshot of life in the Middle Woodland period.</p><br>
<p>Because shards of decorated pottery from the village site are similar to those found on nearby islands, archaeologists have identified the Mountain Lake village as part of the Fox Lake focus, named for a nearby village site on Fox Lake. The Fox Lake people lived on islands in present-day Southwestern Minnesota from approximately 100 BCE to 850 CE, hunted bison, and had a unique style of pottery featuring wide mouths and impressions made with cord-wrapped paddles.</p><br>
<p>The Fox Lake people seem to have used items like certain types of hide scrapers and crushed-shell pottery later than groups to the east, indicating that they remained isolated from the river trade routes used by the Oneota culture. Anthropologist Karl Schlesier has found evidence that the Fox Lake group—possible ancestors of Crow and Hidatsa people—later migrated northwest into present-day central North Dakota. Artifacts like crushed shell pottery and certain types of hide scrapers indicate that the Mountain Lake area was eventually inhabited by Oneota groups, whose descendants include the Ho-Chunk, Otoe, Iowa, and Missouria.</p><br>
<h2>Post-colonial history</h2><br>
<p>In the 1870s and 1880s, Mountain Island was a source of wood fuel for the settler-colonists who moved to Cottonwood County. In the early 1890s, it seemed an ideal place for a summer resort. However, the lowland area surrounding the lake was swampy, and the island was difficult to reach. Mountain Lake was drained between 1905 and 1906 for additional farmland, and farmers raised produce on the fertile lakebed for the next several decades. A road was built to provide access to the former island.</p><br>
<p>Interest in the hill grew in the 1950s when flint arrowheads were found by Sam Franz, whose father owned the farmland surrounding the old island. Excavations at the site led by Lloyd Wilford in 1956 uncovered a "deeply stratified village site" and indicators that it had been occupied from the Late Archaic through the Middle Woodland periods. Further excavations by Wilford seven years later identified similarities in the form of arrowheads and pottery with nearby sites.</p><br>
<p>As a result of these surveys, Mountain Park was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on June 4, 1973. To prevent damage to the culturally significant site, construction of campground facilities was kept to the side of the island, which had previously been submerged. Some of the dig&#39;s findings were displayed at the Science Museum of Minnesota in Saint Paul; a replica of the round dwelling and some of the artifacts found at the site were also displayed at Heritage House in Mountain Lake.</p><br>
<p>Cottonwood County bought Mountain Park from the Franz family in November 1976, and major development proceeded in 1979 with the assistance of the Law and Conservation Fund (LAWCON). Roads, toilets, trails, a picnic shelter, entry signage, and a well were built at a cost of $31,000.</p><br>
<p>The undeveloped rise of the former island at Mountain Park is a superior site for observing wildlife and birds of many species. Visitors can view a wide array of wildlife in this relatively undisturbed area and enjoy campgrounds and picnic sites nearby.</p><br>
<p>The Schinasi House is a 12,000 ft2, 35-room marble mansion located at 351 Riverside Drive on the Upper West Side of Manhattan in New York City. It was built in 1907 for Sephardic Jewish tobacco baron Morris Schinasi. Completed in 1909 at the northeast corner of West 107th Street and Riverside Drive, the three-story, 12,000 square foot mansion was designed in neo-French-Renaissance style by William Tuthill.</p><br>
<p>Schinasi owned the thirty-five-room mansion until his death in 1928. After that the mansion changed hands several times until 1979 when Hans Smit, a Columbia University law professor, bought it and commissioned an extensive interior restoration. The structure was designated a New York City Landmark on March 19, 1974, and added to the National Register of Historic Places on April 23, 1980. It has been described as the last remaining detached single-family house in Manhattan that is still used as a residence. Since 2013, it has been owned by Mark Schwartz, a Goldman Sachs executive, who purchased it for $14 million.</p><br>
<h2>Site</h2><br>
<p>The Schinasi Mansion sits in the Upper West Side neighborhood of Manhattan at Riverside Drive and West 107th Street, directly across from Riverside Park. When the mansion was built in the early 1900s there was limited development along Riverside Drive and Park, but the thought was that more mansions would be erected within the near future. Although there are a handful of single-family mansions along Riverside Drive, the prediction for this kind of development never reached its full potential. The largest single-family residence along Riverside Drive at the time was Charles Schwab&#39;s mansion, "Riverside", with 85 rooms and occupying a full block. It was later demolished, and thus the Schinasi mansion is now the largest single-family residence there.</p><br>
<p>The surrounding neighborhood is full of residential townhouses and apartment buildings. The Riverside Drive – West 105th Street Historic District, a block south, is made up of rowhouses and townhouses built between 1889 and 1902. There are also the Baumgarten House (1901) and the Master Apartments (1929) in the neighborhood.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<h3>Form and facade</h3><br>
<p>The building is detached from neighboring structures, being set back on all four sides, and measures approximately 41 by. Being completely detached allows the mansion to take advantage of treating all four sides of the building and also to create spaces such as a typical English basement. All four facades of the building were treated slightly differently. The front facade faces west toward Riverside Park, containing the main door that is flush with the exterior. The south facade on 107th Street contains end sections and a recessed center. The north section, which faces the neighboring building on Riverside Drive, contains the most elaborate treatment. The rear facade, or east side, contains a three-sided copper oriel at the second level. Since the Schinasi house is detached from the neighboring buildings, it is completely freestanding, and thus it is one of very few privately owned detached single-family residences in Manhattan.</p><br>
<p>The exterior is built completely of white Vermont marble, structurally and aesthetically. The roof is a mansard terra cotta and green tile with steel girders and copper cornices. The construction manager of the mansion, Charles T. Willis, predicted the house would cost $180,000 to build, and he was right. The mansion completed construction one year after it began in 1909. The mansion has decorative motifs such as pineapple motifs, seen as a symbol of hospitality; there was originally a tunnel, now closed up, that led under ground to the Hudson River.</p><br>
<h3>Features</h3><br>
<p>The Schinasi Mansion is made of various carved materials; on the interior there is a mix of Egyptian carved marble, hand carved wood, and hand painted frescos. Within the wood are intricately carved symbols and décor, and the pineapple, a symbol of hospitality, is repeated throughout all carvings. including a Prohibition-era trap door to a tunnel that once extended all the way to the river.</p><br>
<p>The 12,000 ft&sup2; residence contains entertainment and service rooms in the basement and first floor including a gym, servants quarters, dining room, gallery, waiting area, and two parlor rooms. The second and third levels contain the many bedrooms and bathrooms, along with sitting areas and kitchens as well. Finally on the top floor there is a studio apartment. In total there are twelve bedrooms, eight bathrooms, and five kitchens. When built there was a tunnel connecting the English basement of the mansion under Riverside Drive to the banks of the Hudson River. However this route has since been since sealed off.</p><br>
<p>The Schinasi Mansion was used originally as a single family home. That was the case during the twenty or so years that Schinasi and his immediate family lived there. However, after his death Schinasis heirs sold the mansion and from then on it has never seen the same use. Its use has ranged from a private girls finishing school to a daycare center to a location for law students gatherings. It has also been used as the home to June, the wife of a late conman, who rents the studio apartment to the fictional character Neal Caffrey in the popular USA Network show White Collar. The house is also used as a setting on the popular Hulu show The Mindy Project as The Bleecker Friends Quaker School for Toddlers for Mindys son, first seen in S4.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Morris Schinasi, who commissioned this mansion in 1909, was an Ottoman Jewish immigrant who came to the United States in 1890. Having made his wealth in the cigar industry and married in 1903, he decided to build the mansion on Riverside Drive. At the time most mansions were being built along Park Avenue and Fifth Avenue, but there were predictions that the wealthy would build their extravagant homes along the quieter Riverside Drive. As this prediction never came to fruition, the Schinasi mansion remains the largest single-family residence along Riverside Drive. Schinasi selected William Tuthill as the architect for the mansion, but the relationship was not a pleasant one. Tuthill later sued Schinasi for a sum of $5655.65.</p><br>
<p>Schinasi lived at the mansion with his wife, Laurette, and three daughters, Victoria, Juliette, and Altina Schinasi for almost twenty years. In 1928 Schinasi died at the age of seventy-one, and two years later his heirs sold the house to Semple Realty Corporation for $200,000. Since 1930, the mansion has seen many different visitors and uses, beginning as a Semple School for Girls that served as a finishing school for well to-do young ladies. It is said that in 1956 Mrs. Semple herself actually died in one of the mansions thirty-five rooms. Columbia University was the next to purchase the building in 1960 and turned it into a daycare center known as “The Children’s Mansion”. In 1963 - 1966, it was leased to Saint Hildas and Saint Hugh&#39;s School as home for their Middle School and High School classes. In 1970–1971, the mansion housed a Columbia / Barnard coed residential program called the "Experimental College". Photographer Timothy Greenfield-Sanders was one of 45 residents. Columbia sold the mansion in 1979 to Columbia law professor Hans Smit and his wife for $325,000. At this time he initiated an interior restoration that took twenty years to complete.</p><br>
<p>On March 19, 1974, the Schinasi mansion was designated a New York City landmark. The Landmarks Preservation Commission found that this residence had “special character, special historical and aesthetic interest, and value as part of the development, heritage, and cultural characteristics of New York City.”</p><br>
<p>During Smits ownership, he never actually lived in the building, yet his brothers family did for several years during this time period. Smit also used the mansion for Columbia Law School gatherings and small parties. After Smit completed the restoration in 2006 he attempted to sell with an initial asking price of $31 million. Since then the mansion has made a handful of appearances on the real estate market. It was listed at $15 million in the fall of 2011. It is unconfirmed whether the mansion was sold at that time.</p><br>
<p>Mark Schwartz, a vice chairman at the investment bank Goldman Sachs, bought the Schinasi House in 2013.</p><br>

The building was built for and used as a jail in frontier Iowa. The walls and roof of the one-story structure are composed of limestone and mortar. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1981.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>When the Davenport, St. Paul and Midland railroad was being built the town of Delmar had yet to be incorporated, but it had a prosperous liquor trade serving the construction workers. It had become such a problem by the time the town incorporated in 1876 that the town council increased the licensing fees on liquor dealers and saloon keepers to regulate the trade. The plan did not work as those in the liquor trade refused to buy the licenses. Other citizens in Delmar demanded the construction of a town jail. A committee was established in March 1877 to study the possibility, and they recommended that the old school building be used for a jail. It is not known if the plan was ever carried out, but by early 1878 there was a strong desire to build a new jail. Another committee was formed in April of that year to recommend a site and plan a new building. By early summer property on Vane Street was purchased for $50 and the council approved plans for a stone structure. A.T. Phillips, a local builder, submitted the low bid of $175 and construction began immediately. The calaboose was completed in early October 1878 and the town took possession of it. The small jail is the oldest extant public building in Delmar, and the town would use it well into the twentieth century. Similar structures are throughout the United States</p><br>

The furnishings include a stove, folding cot, bureau, table, and chair that appear to be from the early twentieth century.</p><br>
