<p>Camp Paxson Boy Scout Camp, located on the western shore of Seeley Lake, Lolo National Forest, Montana, is on the National Register of Historic Places. It started out as a summer camp for the Boy Scouts of America , and is named in honor of Montana western painter Edgar Samuel Paxson. The United States Forest Service granted the Western Montana Council of the BSA permission to build a summer camp, originally with six small 12x24&#39; clapboard structures and tents on just 4 acre, in 1924. The camp was expanded beginning in October 1939, with more facilities constructed by the Works Progress Administration and Civilian Conservation Corps . The camp was completed in 1940 on 6.7 acre under the supervision of Forest Service engineer Clyde Fickes.</p><br>
<h2>Background</h2><br>
<p>There are twenty buildings constructed out of notched Western Larch logs: a dining hall, 15 sleeping cabins, two bathhouses, and caretaker facilities. Uncut native stone was used for the fireplaces. The camp was ready for the summer season in 1940. However, about 1941–1942 The Boy Scouts moved their camp to Melita Island on Flathead Lake.</p><br>
<p>The site was used by the United States Forest Service as a smokejumper school for conscientious objectors in the Civilian Public Service Program during World War II. This smokejumper program operated from May 1943 to April 1946 under the name "CPS Camp No. 103". It is the only CCC-constructed youth camp in Montana. Campfire Girls, Girl Scouts, Jaycees, 4-H, the Seventh Day Adventist Church, and various civic and religious organizations have used the camp. The Montana Conservation Corps, modeled on the CCC, holds its first week of training here each year. The site became a training camp for the Missoula Children&#39;s Theatre in 1995 and now has 15 acre. It is also used for activities such as family reunions and weddings.</p><br>

<p>Civilian Conservation Corps Camp in Kokeʻe State Park is located at Hawaii Route 550, in Waimea, on the island of Kauai, in the USA state of Hawaii. It was built in 1935 with lumber that was put into the saltwater and floated to the shore at Port Allen, the seawater adding a natural termite protection to the lumber. The camp was in continual use for forest management, until Hurricane Iwa devastated it in 1982. In the 1990s it was restored through the efforts of the non-profit Hui O Laka environmental group, and is currently open to the public. It was added to the Hawaiʻi Register of Historic Places and the National Register of Historic Places on December 20, 1996.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The camp was originally built in 1935 as one of five Hawaii camps constructed by the Civilian Conservation Corps of Franklin Roosevelts New Deal stimulus. The other four camps have been absorbed by population growth, and Kokee is the lone camp remaining in a natural environment. The CCC at Kokee provided forest management, by building trails, roads, and fences, as well as planting over a million trees on Kauai. They helped fight forest fires, eradicate unwanted feral mammals, and collected tree seeds. In addition, the CCC from Kokee also built the CCC camp at Waialae Cabin. In 1943, the program had been disbanded, and the camp was used by the 443d Airlift Wing during World War II. From 1966 until 1973, the Job Corps occupied the premises and provided forest management, followed by the Youth Conservation Corps. The camp was abandoned in 1982 after Hurricane Iwa.</p><br>
<p>The camp is operated by the non-profit local environmental group Hui O Laka, which is dedicated to educating, enhancing, and maintaining Koke&#39;e. In 1990, the Hawaii State Legislature provided Hui O Laka a $20,000 Grant-in-Aid for renovations to the camp. The restoration and continual maintenance of the camp has been provided by members of Hui O Laka, and by volunteers.</p><br>
<p>There are seventeen contributing, and three non-contributing buildings, sites, and structures on the site. During construction, the lumber could not be lifted directly onto the shore, because of the shallowness of Port Allen and the lack of equipment to accomplish the task. Instead, the lumber was floated ashore in the salt water. The soaking in seawater gave the lumber lasting termite protection, allowing the wood to be virtually intact when the camp was added to the NRHP in 1996. The non-contributing buildings were built after 1950.</p><br>

<p>La Vista, also known as The Grove, is a historic plantation house in Spotsylvania County, Virginia, United States. It was built about 1855, and is a two-story, three-bay, Federal / Greek revival style frame dwelling. It has a hipped roof, interior end chimneys, and a pedimented portico with fluted Doric order columns. Also on the property are the contributing smokehouse and the Boulware family burial grounds.</p><br>
<p>La Vista was added to the National Register of Historic Places in December 1997.</p><br>
<p>Massaponax Baptist Church is a Baptist church built in the Greek Revival style, located in Spotsylvania County, Virginia. It is affiliated with the Southern Baptist Convention. The Baptist congregation that built the church was established in 1788 at a small church near Massaponax Creek. When that building became too small to hold the growing congregation, the church was moved to its present location at the intersection of USA Route 1 and State Route 608 . The new church was a small, frame building which was also outgrown. In 1859, the current brick building was constructed on the site. Kilns in a nearby field fired the bricks for the exterior walls. By October 1859 the new church was completed at a cost of $3,000. Joseph Billingsly was the first pastor in the new building. An addition was built in 1949 and a brick cottage for the pastor, was built near the church in 1956. The church was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in January 1991.</p><br>
<p>Not long after the new church was occupied, the American Civil War began. Black members of the church were given letters of dismissal. Several small churches were established for the disenfranchised blacks.</p><br>
<p>Church services ended for the duration of the war. During that time, the church was used as a stable, hospital, headquarters for planning strategy. Soldiers used the interior walls to draw scenes of battle, write messages, and leave names of troops, companies, and soldiers. The walls were whitewashed after the war to cover the graffiti. In 1938, during renovation work, the writing on the walls was exposed. Portions of the graffiti are now visible behind plexiglass frames.</p><br>
<p>George Meisner House is a rural mansion located approximately one mile north of the town of Shelton, Nebraska. The house was constructed in 1893-1894 and was built in the Queen Anne style. In about 1915, during an "anti-Victorian" period, it was remodeled to more Neo-Classical styling.</p><br>
<p>It is a two-story frame house on a raised basement of Colorado limestone. When completed it "was described as a residence that excels in every respect, any other in central Nebraska (Shelton Clipper, Aug. 17, 1894)". It was a home of George Meisner, a rancher, landowner, and businessman.</p><br>
<p>Besides the house, two other contributing buildings were included in the listing: a two-story frame carriage barn and an adjacent one-story frame garage.</p><br>
<p>In 1988, the house was added to the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>Prospect Hill  is a plantation house in Spotsylvania County, Virginia. The house was built between 1811 and 1812 by Spotswood Dabney Crenshaw for Waller Holladay. Holladay was elected to several local political positions and also served in the Virginia General Assembly. Waller purchased land around Prospect Hill beginning in 1803 using an inheritance from his half-brother, General Lewis Littlepage. One of the original outbuildings housed the first post office in Spotsylvania in 1809.</p><br>
<p>Holladay and his wife, Huldah, raised 13 children at Prospect hill. One of their sons, James Holladay, was captured at the Battle of Five Forks during the American Civil War - just days before the Confederate surrender at Appomattox Court House. When he was released, James returned to the plantation and restored it to operation. In the 1880s he added a porch surrounding the first floor. This was the only addition to Prospect Hill until 1991.</p><br>
<p>Prospect Hill underwent restoration between 1991 and 1996. The restoration was done by Holladay family members - descendants of Waller and Huldah Holladay.</p><br>
<p>A number of buildings are part of the plantation. In addition to the manor house, seven dependencies which have been restored, the granary and the plantation office.</p><br>
<p>Oakley is a historic plantation and home located in Spotsylvania County, Virginia, Virginia. The Federal/Georgian style, -story home was built in 1828 by Samuel Alsop, Jr. as a wedding present for his daughter, Clementina. Alsop built several notable houses in Spotsylvania County including Kenmore, Spotswood Inn, and Fairview.</p><br>
<p>Oakley was part of a grant of 7,777 acres given to Gawain Corbin by the King of England. Alsop bought 849 acres in 1816. The Georgian home was built using bricks made in two kilns that Alsop built on the property.</p><br>
<p>Oakley is located near the site of many major battles of the American Civil War. A number of battles and skirmishes occurred on or near the property. According to a letter written by a resident of the house at the time, during one two-day period, the house was ransacked by "...at least 2000 soldiers tramping through the house." A Yankee soldier disobeyed his Major&#39;s orders to burn the house down.</p><br>
<p>During the latter half of the 19th century, the house was neglected and used more as a barn than a home. In 1919, the property was purchased by a Mr. McHenry who wanted to mine for silver and gold. The mining project failed and, in 1926, the plantation was sold to George C. Beals. The property has been owned by the Beals since then. Running water and electricity were added in the 1940s and central heating in the 1960s.</p><br>
<p>As of 2005, the Oakley farm consisted of nearly 2,000 acres. Oakley was added to the National Register of Historic Places in May 2002.</p><br>
<p>Walnut Grove is an historic Greek Revival-style house in Spotsylvania County, Virginia. The house was built in 1840 on land that was purchased by Jonathan Johnson in 1829. Markings on the exposed oak beams indicate that Walnut Grove was built by William A. Jennings. Jennings was recognized as a master builder of Greek Revival homes during that period. Walnut Grove was added to the National Register of Historic Places in August 2004.</p><br>
<h2>Design and construction</h2><br>
<p>Walnut grove is a five-bay house with a raised brick basement. The front porch is distinctive Greek Revival. The flat porch roof over the entrance is supported by four square Tuscan columns joined by the original balustrades. The entry is adorned with carved sidelights and a leaded tracery transom. The shutters on the basement and first floor windows are original. The roof is hipped.</p><br>
<p>The houses floor plan is L-shaped. Like the front entrance, the rear porch roof rests on Tuscan columns. The house has three brick interior-end chimneys. Oak beams in the hallway, kitchen, and dining room walls are exposed. These beams show Roman numerals indicating where joists are to be attached. These markings are identical to markings in Edgewood, another of Jennings houses.</p><br>
<p>Little has changed in the appearance of Walnut Grove since the mid-1800s. On the grounds, there is the original smokehouse, as well as the stone fireplace of the 18th century Coleman house that was built at Walnut Grove prior to the current house. This fireplace was once the kitchen for the home.</p><br>
<p>In the 1980s the Bond house, an 18th-century building, was moved from Louisa County, Virginia to Walnut Grove. The restoration of this building, which currently serves as a bed and breakfast, was recognized by the Spotsylvania Preservation Foundation. The grounds also feature an English garden, vegetable gardens, orchards, and a vineyard.</p><br>
<p>Robinson House sits at the bottom of Henry Hill, near Bull Run in Virginia. The house was named for the family of James "Gentleman Jim" Robinson, a free African American, who built the house. The Robinson family, descendants of Gentleman Jim, owned and occupied the house and a large portion of the land around it from the 1840s until 1936. The National Park Service acquired this parcel as part of their effort to commemorate two major battles of the American Civil War, the First and Second battles of Bull Run  which occurred about one year apart. Both battles were Confederate victories. However, Robinson House managed to survive virtually unscathed. The house would burn down in 1993.</p><br>
<h2>Pre-Civil War</h2><br>
<p>The homestead was constructed in the 1840s by James "Gentleman Jim" Robinson, an African American, on land he purchased from local planter John Lee. James would become the third richest African American in the area.</p><br>
<p>As the son of Landon Carter, Jr. and a free African American woman, James received an education in his youth. In honor of the private tutor who taught him and the Carters daughters Bladen and Tasco, he took the last name of his tutor as his own. In 1847, John Lee died. As was common throughout the United States at that time, Lee owned land and slaves, including Jims wife and children. Upon his death, those family members who were still on his plantation were willed to Jim, who took them to live with him in his new home.</p><br>
<p>Around the same time Jim established his own roadhouse on the Warrenton Turnpike, the main road from Washington, D.C. to Richmond, Virginia, the capital of what would become the Confederacy. This was a prime location that would make him one of the wealthiest African Americans in the Manassas area, but would also bring the Civil War right into his front yard.</p><br>
<h2>Civil War</h2><br>
<h3>First Battle of Bull Run</h3><br>
<p>Two major battles of the Civil War were waged around the Robinson House. During the First Battle of Bull Run the map to the right shows the troops of two brigadier generals engaging in a pitched battle, that resulted in a total rout of the Union Forces, under the command of Erasmus Keyes. The Confederate forces held their ground, under the command of Thomas J. Jackson, so well that from then on he would be known as Stonewall Jackson. His forces held the line on one side of the Robinson House as the Union troops attempted to overcome their stiff opposition.</p><br>
<p>Before the fighting began Gentleman Jim took his family to a neighbors home where he hoped they would be safe. After securing the house Jim attempted to reunite with his family, but was caught in the crossfire of the battle and had to take shelter under a bridge over Youngs Branch of the Bull Run River until hostilities ceased.</p><br>
<p>The first battle was over in a matter of a few days. Many thought that the Civil War would be decided in one, winner take all battle. But this was not to be the case. Confederate troops won the First Battle of Manassas, with federal troops retreating back to Washington, D.C., but the Civil War continued.</p><br>
<h3>Second Battle of Bull Run</h3><br>
<p>The Second Battle of Bull Run lasted for about a week and also resulted in a Confederate victory. Again, Federal troops retreated back to Washington and the Confederates did not pursue. The casualties on both sides were even higher following this second battle. Pope and McClellan were strategically out maneuvered by Lee and Jackson, despite the fact that they had more troops.</p><br>
<p>Again the battle raged around Robinson House. Following the destruction of Henry House during the First Battle of Bull Run, Robinson House was one of the most strategically located buildings on the battlefield. Because of this it was used as a Union hospital and planning station. In sworn testimony before the Southern Claims Commission, Gentleman Jim described how following the battle, troops raided his farm in search of food and supplies, causing more than $2,000 in damages.</p><br>
<h2>Post-Civil War</h2><br>
<h3>Southern Claims Commission</h3><br>
<p>On February 2, 1872, James Robinson presented his case to the Southern Claims Commission. This commission was set up to handle damage claims of property owners who were loyal to the Union. Jim&#39;s testimony, as well as that of the witnesses called in regarding his case, offered up valuable insights into the military maneuvers of the Union and Confederate troops. In the claim Jim and his neighbors detail how Union troops took food, livestock, fence posts, and goods from his house.</p><br>
<p>The house was also used as a field hospital for the wounded and dying, during the 2nd Battle of Bull Run. As one reporter put it,</p><br>
<p>The Robinson House is used as a Yankee hospital. In a visit there this morning, I found 100 of them packed in the rooms as thick as sardines.... The wounds of the majority were undressed, the blood had dried upon their persons and garments, and altogether there (sic.) the most horrible set of beings it has been my lot to encounter.</p><br>
<h3>After the death of Gentleman Jim</h3><br>
<p>Following the death of Gentleman Jim in 1875, his son Alfred took over as head of the household. According to available census records, he moved in with his mother and other family members as the head of the Robinson clan, until his death in 1904. The house remained in the family up until 1936 when it was sold to the National Park Service (NPS). This site of the house and the surrounding property makes up an important part of the battlefield park today.</p><br>
<h3>Manassas Battlefield Park</h3><br>
<p>Robinson House was one of the few houses on the battlefield that was occupied during the 19th and 20th centuries. Even before the First Battle of Bull Run some of the other homes in the area, such as the Carter mansion at Pittsylvania, had been abandoned and fallen into disrepair. Henry House was completely demolished during the First Battle of Bull Run, killing its resident, Judith Carter Henry, in the process. Robinson House managed to remain intact in spite of its location in the center of heavy gunfire and artillery barrages.</p><br>
<p>Although the house was able to survive the Civil War, it was destroyed by arsonists in 1993. The perpetrators were never caught, but there was evidence that it was a hate crime. Apparently, just a few weeks prior to the destruction of the house someone had vandalized the structure with graffiti.</p><br>
<p>The National Park Service, in accordance with their current guidelines, has no plans to rebuild the structure, but they did conduct an archeological dig on the property, which resulted in the publication of the most significant document on the house and the family that owned and occupied it from pre-Civil War days into the early 20th century.</p><br>
<p>The site of Robinson House is preserved as part of the Manassas National Battlefield Park.</p><br>

<p>Second Baptist Church is an historic church building located in Centerville, Iowa, United States. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The congregation was organized in 1893 by African Americans. There were twelve people in the congregation when the church began. The congregation grew in size and by 1902 they desired their own church building. They began fundraising and the cornerstone for the structure was laid in June of that year. The wood-framed structure was designed in the Gothic Revival style.</p><br>
<p>Coal mining in the area began to decline in the 1920s and the congregation&#39;s membership peaked in the 1930s at 126 people. Opera singer Simon Estes sang in the church choir in the 1940s. The congregation continued to use the church until the early 1990s. The building then sat empty for a short time until efforts to preserve it began in 1996. The restoration project was completed in 2003 and it is now used for musical and other events.</p><br>
<p>Wabash Combination Depot-Moravia, now known as the Wabash Depot Museum, is an historic train station located in Moravia, Iowa, United States. It is believed to be one of the two standard-plan wooden Wabash combination freight and passenger depots that remain in Iowa. Completed in 1903, it served the Wabash Railroad. The Queen Anne style building is an example of the rural combination station plan. The plan combined all railroad services from passengers to freight in one building. The museum features railroad artifacts, an operational model train layout and a restored railroad section car. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999 as a part of the Advent & Development of Railroads in Iowa MPS.</p><br>
<p>The Clarendon Stone Store, also known as the Old Stone Store or the Copeland Store, is an historic commercial building listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Located in the hamlet of Clarendon, in the town of Clarendon, New York, the building sits at the corner of New York State Route 31A  and New York State Route 237 .</p><br>
<p>Like many structures in the region, the store was one of the first buildings in the world built with Medina sandstone, as the material was plentiful in the surrounding fields. The first proprietor of the store was David Sturges. His son-in-law, George Copeland, operated it from 1843 until 1892, giving it one of its alternative names, the Copeland Store.

<h3>Stone Era</h3><br>
<p>On May 28, 1884, Lucia Wright, daughter of George G. Wright, married Edgar Heathcote Stone. Edgar attended Lake Forest Academy and graduated from Yale University with honors in 1878. His classmate and lifelong friend was William Howard Taft.</p><br>
<p>Edgar&#39;s father, Thomas Jefferson Stone, was among the first settlers of Sioux City in 1856 and helped survey, acquire, and finance much of its early land development. In 1871, Thomas co-founded the First National Bank of Sioux City with Asahel W. Hubbard and served as its president. Among his many civic contributions are the creation of the Sergeant Floyd Monument and eponymous Stone State Park. Upon his death in 1904, Thomas bequeathed Edgar and Lucia approximately one-third of his $400,000 estate (equivalent to $10,000,000 in 2018).</p><br>
<p>Edgar, who had been suffering from a rheumatic disorder for years, unexpectedly died in 1911 leaving Lucia a widow without children. In his honor, Lucia donated 800 acres of Thomas’ estate for the creation on Stone State Park, the land to the Sisters of St. Benedict for which MercyOne Siouxland Medical Center now stands, and the development of a mansion atop of the city&#39;s summit. On July 15, 1914, she purchased two lots on the corner on Twentieth and Summit streets from W. L. Frost for $4,500. Construction by builder Andrew Oustling was finished in 1915 totaling $30,000 for a total development cost of $34,500 (equivalent to $880,000 in 2018).</p><br>
<p>Lucia sold the Stone House to surgeon Dr. J. E. Moore in 1920 and married prominent attorney Thomas G. Henderson in 1921. She unexpectedly died in 1922 and Thomas jumped to his death off the Davidson Building in 1925, which Arthur Sanford helped develop.</p><br>
<h3>Sanford Era</h3><br>
<p>Arthur and Stella Sanford acquired the Sanford House in 1936 from lumber baron George and Mary Avery. Arthur was born in Minneapolis to Austrian-Jewish immigrants James and Edith Sanford and was immersed in business from birth at his father&#39;s mercantile store. He dropped-out of the University of Minnesota and Wharton School of Finance and Commerce. He interned at Brown Brothers Harriman & Co and served in World War I as a sergeant major in a logistics casual company in Paris.</p><br>
<p>On July 3, 1920, he married Stella Wolff, daughter of air conditioning pioneer Alfred Rudolph Wolff, who had just graduated from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The same year he established Arthur Stanford & Co to sell mortgage bonds, which he later expanded to development and management of real estate. When the Sioux Apartment Hotel fell into receivership, Arthur and Stella permanently relocated to Sioux City to salvage the venture. Over the next 60 years, Arthur was associated with the development, financing, and or management of approximately $400,000,000 (2018 inflation-adjusted) in real estate in Iowa, Illinois, Nebraska, California, Texas, and New York. Six of those properties are now listed on the National Register of Historic Places. In 1954, Arthur was named “Sioux City’s Greatest Builder” who had “exercised more influence on Sioux City’s landscape than any other individual”.</p><br>
<p>In Sioux City, he is associated with the Orpheum Electric Building, Warrior Hotel, Masonic Temple, Davidson Building, Insurance Exchange Building, Frances Building, Shaare Zion Synagogue, Sioux Apartment Hotel, Bellevue Apartment, Argonaut Apartment, Castle-Stellart Apartment, Metz Apartment, Nyol Apartment, 5 theaters, two-subdivisions, and the bus terminal.</p><br>
<p>In Des Moines, he is associated with The Commodore, Des Moines Building, Bolton Apartments, Windsor Terrace Apartments, Fleming Building and 3660 Grand Ave. Also, The Inn Hotel at Lake Okoboji, Hotel Tallcorn in Marshalltown, Chieftain Hotel in Council Bluffs and Sherman House Hotel and the Ambassador East in Chicago.</p><br>
<p>A serial entrepreneur, Arthur was also involved in many other ventures. In 1928, he co-founded Mid-Continent Airlines with Arthur Hanford, Jr. It was acquired by Braniff International Airways in 1952. In 1929, he gained 60% control of the hog cholera vaccine market by consolidating five of the largest serum producers into Allied Laboratories, which was acquired by Dow Chemical. In 1941, he co-founded the Sioux Soya Mills Company with Francis Lytle. It was the first soybean processing plant in Iowa and was acquired by Cargill in 1947.</p><br>
<p>In 1947, Arthur and Stella established the Stellart Charitable Foundation with the “aim and ambition to do everything to make opportunities for the younger men and women of Sioux City”. They donated approximately $5,000,000 (2018 inflation-adjusted) to various causes over the ensuing years, including the $150,000 (equivalent to $1,700,000 in 2018) for redevelopment of the Booker T. Washington Center, which was renamed the Sanford Community Center. Approximately $25,000 (equivalent to $205,000 in 2018) for renovations of the Mary Treglia Community Center. Another $77,000 (equivalent to $586,000 in 2018) for the Sanford Organ in Eppley Auditorium of Morningside College in 1967, and $150,000 (equivalent to $946,000 in 2018) for the Stella Sanford Day Care Center in 1971.</p><br>
<p>Starting in 1940, Arthur was also very involved in politics and served as the Iowa delegate in six Democratic national conventions. In 1950 he served as a United States delegate to the International Labor Organization conference in Geneva. In 1952 and 1956 he was the Iowa finance chairman for presidential candidate Adlai Stevenson II. In 1959 he served as chairman of Governor Loveless’ United Nations committee. While serving as the Iowa finance chairman during the 1960 United States presidential campaign, Arthur hosted presidential candidate John F. Kennedy at the Sanford House. In 1966, he served as chairman of the reception committee for Senator Robert Kennedy at the Orpheum Theater he built. He also served on many commissions, committees, and campaign teams.</p><br>
<p>Following Arthur and Stella&#39;s deaths in 1981, the Sanford House was sold to neurosurgeon Dr. Alexander and June Kleider.</p><br>
<h3>Marriott Era</h3><br>
<h4>Dr. John and Rebecca Marriott</h4><br>
<p>A third-generation Sioux native, Dr. John Thomas Marriott II and his wife, Rebecca (née Beelman) Marriott, acquired the Sanford House on June 20, 1994, from neurologist Dr. Leonel and Yolanda Herrera. Following a decorated combat deployment to Panama for the War on Drugs and a radiology residency in Ohio, John returned to Sioux City to join the Sioux City Radiological Group.</p><br>
<p>The counterculture movement kicked off by President Kennedys administration, whom the Sanfords ironically helped elect, caused neocolonial style to not only become unpopular, but loathed. The Sanford House was not immune and the “old world” elegance of hardwood floors and crystal chandeliers gave-way to 1960s decor. Aside of the sunroom added by the Herras in the 1980s, the house remained untouched until the Marriotts acquisition in 1994. Over the next 5 years, Rebecca and general contractor Gary Bender, restored every room, fixture, and decor to its neocolonial roots. The entire basement was refinished and the coal bunker was converted to an office. The house was commonly referred to as "Marriott Manor" by the contractors.</p><br>
<p>In July 1998, their son, Thomas Montgomery Marriott, establish his first startup, Penny Computer Company, in the Sanford House basement. Fulfilling his great-grandfathers original dream, John and Rebecca sold the Sanford House to technologist John and Kathy Pritchard on August 16, 1999, and moved to The Antebellum in Grogans Point of The Woodlands, Texas; leaving 147 years and 6 generations of roots behind.</p><br>
<h4>Dr. Charles Montgomery Marriott</h4><br>
<p>Johns father, Dr. Charles Montgomery Marriott, was a radiologist and multi-decorated World War II hero who co-founded the Sioux City Radiological Group in 1956. Overcoming the loss of both hands from a stielhandgranate while saving his platoon during the Rhineland Offensive, he practiced diagnostic and nuclear interventional radiology in Sioux City for 27 years. He also served on the board of directors, as chief of staff, and as department head of radiation therapy at St. Vincents Hospital (now MercyOne Siouxland Medical Center). He was a Fellow of the American College of Radiology and Diplomat of the American Board of Radiology. Most of his career was focused on awareness and treatment of cancer. As chapter president of the American Cancer Society, he was instrumental in bringing and practicing advanced cancer treatment to Sioux City, including external beam radiotherapy from cobalt and linear acceleration, and the first CAT Scanner in Iowa (tenth in the United States). He regularly spoke at schools for anti-smoking campaigns. In 1964, he co-developed the 14 acre, 8 building Medical Plaza Professional Center on Hamilton Boulevard. During his retirement, Charles helped establish and was president of the Sioux City Convention Center. He was bestowed the Sertoma International "Service to Mankind" award in 1992. Charles grew up on 15 Gilman Terrace, two blocks from the Sanford House, and was George Avery&#39;s paperboy for the Sioux City Tribune. His wife and two daughters survived the Flight 982 crash at the Sioux Gateway Airport in 1968.</p><br>
<h4>Secretary William Henry Marriott</h4><br>
<p>Charles’ father, William Henry Marriott, Esq. was a prominent grain trade executive with the Terminal Grain Corporation (now Tegra Corporation) who served as the Secretary of the Sioux City Grain Exchange. He was instrumental in opening commercial barge navigation of the Missouri River and establishing the Missouri River Basin Project, including the Gavins Point Dam. He came to Sioux City from Wakefield, a frontier settlement his father helped pioneer. William was immersed in business and the grain trade from birth at his fathers store, Marriott Mercantile, which initially specialized in quality "Seeds that grow!" thirty-five years before the Grain Standards Act of 1916. He attended Browns Business College at 17 years of age while working for the Great Northern Railway. Suffering from poor health following a botched appendicitis surgery in 1915, William wore an abdominal binder for the rest of his life and unexpectedly died in 1951.</p><br>
<h4>Judge John Thomas Marriott I</h4><br>
<p>Williams father, Judge John Thomas Marriott I, was among the first settlers of Wakefield, Nebraska in July 1881. The son of English immigrants William and Sarah (née Pacey) Marriott, John became motherless and an only child at one year old when Sarah suffered maternal death. Described as a “hustler” who can “raise anything from peanuts to presidents”, he was determined to make Wakefield rival Sioux City, whose population was around 7,500 at the time. He built and operated the first store, Marriott Mercantile, for 42 years. Initially specializing in “Seeds that grow!”, he expanded to groceries, lands loans and insurance, conveyance, collections, brokerage and notary services. The store also operated a millinery led by his wife Mary Louise (née Rice) Marriott, the sister of James Montgomery Rice, aunt of Montgomery Case, and great-granddaughter of William Montgomery. At peak, John controlled approximately 20% of Wakefields commercial real estate and a cattle farm on the outskirt. He adopted the new slogan "Marriott Means Business".</p><br>
<p>In 1906, John helped bring Wakefield into the electric age. On the Board of Education, he helped introduce formal academics to Wakefield and as a Justice of the peace, helped create laws for the horseless carriage. Marriott Mercantile now operates as an online corporate store for Marriott Corporation operated by his great-great-grandson Thomas Montgomery Marriott.</p><br>
<p>The New Gloucester Historic District encompasses the rural village center of New Gloucester, Maine. The village is one of the few in Maine&#39;s inland areas to be settled in the second half of the 18th century, and has a significant concentration of 18th-century residences. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The town of New Gloucester is located in northern Cumberland County, northwest of the coastal communities of Freeport and Brunswick. It was chartered in 1735, and first settled in 1742. When King George&#39;s War broke out in 1744, it was abandoned because of Native American attacks, and was not resettled until 1753. Its first wood-frame house, built in 1761 by Isaac Parsons, still stands in the village center. The town was incorporated in 1794, and has always been a predominantly rural agricultural community.</p><br>
<p>The town center is a rural, dispersed village, centered at the junction Maine State Route 231 with Gloucester Hill Road and Cobbs Bridge Road. SR 231 roughly follows the first major route to the coast, joining the village to Yarmouth in 1756. Stretched along these roads are a significant number of wood-frame houses, many of them built before 1810 and exhibiting Georgian or Federal styling. Also included are a 1782 tavern, the towns first cemetery, and the site of a blockhouse (now marked by a reduced-size replica) built following the towns resettlement in 1753. Public buildings in the district are generally of later construction, including the 1838 Greek Revival Congregational Church (built on the site of the town&#39;s first church), and its town hall, library, and first high school, all built around the turn of the 20th century.</p><br>

<h2>History and architectural features</h2><br>
<p>Built circa 1910, this historic structure is a large -story, fieldstone dwelling with a gambrel roof with large dormers. It has a two-story, stone rear wing with a steep gable roof. The intersection of the main house and wing features a round, two-story tower, giving the house a French Provincial style.

<p>The Chicago and North Western Passenger Depot is a historic building located in Wall Lake, Iowa, United States. Wall Lake was served by both the Chicago & North Western Railroad and the Illinois Central Railroad, which gave it a significant rail presence from the 1880s until World War II. The C&NW depot is an example of a combination station plan. The plan combined both passenger and freight services in one building. They were commonly used during the heyday of railroad growth round the turn of the 20th century. However, the old Wall Lake C&NW depot was moved and used for freight. What would have been the freight room was used here for a lunchroom. C&NW had three standard combination depot plans that have been attributed to the prominent Chicago architectural firm of Frost & Granger. The Wall Lake depot was the largest of the three as it incorporated a women&#39;s waiting room, but it was actually 9 ft shorter than the general plan because freight was processed in another facility. The depot was built in 1899 by A.H. Carter & Co. of Cedar Rapids, Iowa as a replacement depot. The single-story frame structure is the only building used as a depot that remains in town. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2003.</p><br>
<p>Chariton freight station is an historic building located in Chariton, Iowa, United States. Chariton was a wholesale and distribution center for southern Iowa when the Chicago, Burlington, and Quincy Railroad built the freight house in 1904.
