<h2>History</h2><br>
<h3>Germantown Grammar School No. 1</h3><br>
<p>Germantown Grammar School No. 1 (Opportunities Industrial Center, Inc.) was built in 1874 at 5933-51 McCallum Street in Philadelphia. Originally known as the "Germantown Combined Grammar, Secondary, and Primary School," it was designed by Louis H. Esler, the first architect to be appointed as Building Supervisor by Philadelphias school district, and is a three-story, serpentine brownstone building in a combined Italianate / Gothic-style. During the mid-1880s, as the schools popularity grew, Philadelphia school leaders determined that more space was needed. As a result, they erected a new annex nearby at 45 West Haines Street, named it "Germantown Grammar School No. 2," and renamed the original school building as "Germantown Grammar School No. 1." The building principal at this time was James Monroe Willard.</p><br>
<p>For the calendar year ending December 31, 1893, the Board of Public Education reported that the school continued to be led by building principal J. Monroe Willard, that the student body was entirely male, and that the school had begun the year with 816 boys in attendance, averaged 850 boys in attendance throughout the year, and ended with a total of 867 boys enrolled. In addition, the report listed the faculty as: Margaret D. Bockins, S. H Bryan, Isabella F. Clark, Elizabeth C. Friedman, Sarah A. Hodson, Helena T. Law, Margaret J. McCoy, E. T. Menough, Minnie M. Metzler, Sue C. Schrack, Kate R. Sorber, Kate W. Stevens, Frances C. Swift, Mary S. Swift, Mary Unger, Emma L. Varwig, and Mary L. Willcox. The janitor was William Logan.</p><br>
<p>For the calendar year ending December 31, 1895, the Board of Public Education reported that J. Monroe Willard was still the supervising principal, that the student population was still entirely male, and that the school had begun the year with 865 boys in attendance, averaged 897 boys in attendance throughout the year, and ended with a total of 918 boys enrolled. In addition, the report noted that the faculty remained largely unchanged, and included: Margaret D. Bockius, Sarah H. Bryan, Isabella F. Clark, Elsie J. deKraft, Sadie S. Elderton, Elizabeth C. Friedman, Sarah A. Hodson, Helena T. Law, E. F. Menough, Minnie M. Metzler, A. S. Righter, Sue C. Schrack, Edith Scott, Harriet L. Smith, Kate R. Sorber, Kate W. Stevens, Frances C. Swift, Mary C. Swift, Mary Unger, Emma L. Varwig, and Mary L. Willcox. William Logan was also still employed as the janitor.</p><br>
<p>In June 1896, The Philadelphia Inquirer reported that as "supervising principal of the Germantown Combined Grammar, Secondary and Primary School and president of its Educational Club," J. Monroe Willard had ensured that "forty to sixty teachers were in attendance on the University Extension courses in Germantown during the past season."</p><br>
<p>By 1900, the supervising principal was William H. Arnhold. Still in charge two years later, Arnholds student body was still all male, averaging 761 for the year and ending with 777 enrolled. That years faculty were: J. E. Burnett Buckenham, Sadie S. Elderton, Elizabeth C. Freedman, Laura M. Haines, Sarah A. Hodson, Helena T. Law, Mary K. Montgomery, Mary E. Platt, Sue C. Schrack, Edith Scott, Kate R. Sorber, Blanche Stevens, W. Wesley Stevenson, Frances Swift, Mary S. Swift, and Mary L. Willcox. William Logan also continued in his role as janitor.</p><br>
<p>By 1906, the student body of the combined grammar and primary school was still all male, but the school was now also beginning to admit girls via its co-educational kindergarten. Still led by supervising William H. Arnhold, the increasingly diversified faculty that year included: Mary H. Beatty, George C. Cochran, Sadie Elderton, Elizabeth C. Friedman, Laura M. Haines, Sarah H. Hodson, Helena T. Law, Lavinia Mayer, Mary K. Montgomery, Mary E. Platt, Sue C. Schrack, Kate R. Sorber, Blanche Stevens, Frances C. Swift, Mary S. Swift, Edmund A. Thompson, and Mary L. Wilcox. The school&#39;s janitors that year were Louis Greaser and Frederick W. Stock.</p><br>
<p>During the 1980s, a two-story addition was then tacked on to the original Germantown Grammar School structure; it features dressed brownstone trim; a projecting, pedimented front section; and projecting cross-gables.</p><br>
<h3>Germantown Grammar School No. 2</h3><br>
<p>In response to the successful operation of the Germantown Combined Grammar, Secondary, and Primary School, leaders of Philadelphias school system elected to expand the schools operation by constructing a new annex to the original building. Known as Germantown Grammar School No. 2, this new annex cost roughly $20,000, and was designed by architect Joseph W. Anshutz. Erected at 45 West Haines Street in Philadelphia between 1886 and 1887, the contractor was W. H. Brunner. A two-story, four bay by nine bay, brick building faced in Wissahickon schist in a vernacular Italianate-style, it was designed to serve as an annex to the original Germantown Grammar School (Germantown Grammar School No. 1). Both the annex and the original grammar school were then managed by building principal James Monroe Willard.</p><br>
<p>Initially omitted from the 1986 nomination of public school buildings in Philadelphia for listing on the National Register of Historic Places ("Philadelphia Schools Thematic Resources") and that nomination process&#39;s 1988 addendum, Germantown Grammar School No. 2 was added to this register listing in 2006 after Dara Zitzman of Powers & Co., Inc. submitted a boundary increase nomination in January 2006.</p><br>

<p>The Big House in Moccasin, Arizona was built c. 1875 by Mormon pioneer craftsmen associated with the Mormon United Order based in Orderville, Utah. The house was one of the first multi-room residences in the remote northern Arizona community of Moccasin and for several decades served as a community and religious center for Moccasin and Arizona Strip residents and visitors. Many travelers on the Mormon Honeymoon Trail stayed in the Big House.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In the late 1800s, LDS Church leaders organized settlement in southern Utah and Northern Arizona. One settlement on the Arizona Strip, Pipe Spring, was settled in 1870. At about the same time, the community of Moccasin was established at Moccasin Spring, about four miles north of Pipe Spring. Both communities were located on the Mormon Honeymoon Trail, so-called because it linked communities in the Little Colorado region with St. George, Utah, location of the first LDS Temple completed in Utah.</p><br>
<p>The Big House was built in about 1875 by Dellie Webb and Heber Ayers, carpenters and craftsmen associated with the Orderville United Order. The new house was called the "Big House" because other Moccasin residences at the time were generally one-room cabins. The house was built for John Covington and his family, who were given "stewardship" of the Moccasin property and were designated caretakers of it for the Orderville United Order. In 1883, Christopher B. Heaton replaced Covington as caretaker of the Big House and other Moccasin property.</p><br>
<p>Heaton was assigned to operate the ranch and designated as LDS "missionary to the Indians" in the area. The Kaibab Band of the Southern Paiute Indians had lived on and controlled the Arizona Strip area, including the area around Pipe Spring, Moccasin Spring, and nearby Sand Spring, since approx. 1150 A.D. Today the Big House and the community of Moccasin comprise a small area of non-reservation land within the larger Kaibab Indian Reservation</p><br>
<p>Starting in the 1880s, the Orderville United Order gradually transferred or sold its holdings to shareholders. The Big House and other Moccasin properties were transferred to the Heaton family. After Christopher Heaton moved to the Mormon colonies in Mexico, ownership was transferred to Heaton&#39;s brothers Jonathan, Alvin, Fred, and Will Heaton. By 1894, trading and exchanges among the brothers for properties inherited from the Orderville United Order had established Jonathan Heaton as owner of the Big House. Jonathan and Lucy Heaton raised a family of eleven children in the Big House.</p><br>
<h2>Moccasin Ranch Activities & Significance</h2><br>
<p>Emma Carroll Seegmiller, sister of Lucy Heaton, outlined activities at the Moccasin Ranch in the late 1800s:</p><br>
<p>here were fruits in abundance—peaches, grapes, plums, melons galore... abundant fields of sugar cane were raised from which the molasses for which the Order was famous, was made and which for a time constituted our sole source of sweetening for foods.... In the Autumn girls and boys were ushered into service picking up potatoes and topping beets and carrots.... The beets and carrots were dumped in piles, around which we sat and as at a husking bee, we sang and talked while we worked.... Farming and the care of stock were successful enterprises of Moccasin Ranch.</p><br>
<p>The route along the Vermilion Cliffs through the Arizona Strip, passing by Pipe Spring and Moccasin Spring, had long been used by Native Americans. It became part of the Armijo Route of the Old Spanish Trail, connecting Santa Fe and Los Angeles, after it was explored by Antonio Armijo in 1829–1830. After Mormon settlement in the area, this route became known as the Honeymoon Trail, connecting Mormon settlements in southern Utah and northern Arizona to St. George.</p><br>
<p>The Big House was an important stop on the Honeymoon Trail, where many guests and visitors spent the night. One month, the Heatons tallied 110 meals served to guests and 35 horses fed. Guests included "governors, church leaders, businessmen, important park and railroad officials, cowboys, herders, and Indians."</p><br>
<p>In addition, the Big House served as the location of school classes, community meetings, and religious services for many years, until construction of a community school in Moccasin in 1904.</p><br>
<h2>National Register of Historic Places</h2><br>
<p>The Big House was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983. The listing included two contributing buildings, the Big House itself and a Granary located near the house and built about 1880.</p><br>

<p>The Melville Walker House is an inn on Maine Street in the Kennebunkport Historic District in Kennebunkport, Maine. The inn was added to the National Register of Historic Places on May 6, 1976. It is now known as the Maine Stay Inn.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Melville Walker House was built as a private residence in 1860 by merchant sea captain Melville Walker on land provided to him by his father, William H. Walker. Captain Walker transferred the title to his wife, Abbie, following their marriage.</p><br>
<p>The property then passed to brother-in-law, Hiram Fairfield on October 4, 1876, who in turn left it to his wife, Adelaide (Melvilles sister), and their son Harry. 31 years later in 1891, the property passed from the founding family for the first time when Adelaide sold it to the Heuvelman family. The Heuvelmans held the property until 1899, at which time they sold it to George Little, an executive with the New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad. The Societys records show that electric lights were installed in 1905 at the Little&#39;s on Maine Street, then known as “The Maples.”</p><br>
<p>Title to the house and property then passed to Senator Wickes of New York in 1924. The next owners, the Eldridge family, gave the property its current name “The Maine Stay” and opened their guest house. The first cottage was added to the property in 1954. The inn remained under the Eldridge ownership until 1970 when it was sold to the Taylor-Milligan family. They sold The Maine Stay to Max and Jane Andrews in 1976. Jacques and Carol Gagnon purchased the house in 1983 and turned it into a bed and breakfast. In April 1989, the title passed to Carol and Lindsay Copeland who sold it to George and Janice Yankowski in 2002. On April 30, 2008, Janice and George sold the inn to Judi and Walter Hauer.</p><br>
<h2>Design</h2><br>
<p>The design of the main house is considered to be square-block Italianate architecture, contoured in a low-hip roof design, with additions and renovations added over the years. In the early 1900s, Queen Anne style architecture was introduced to the inn with the construction of the suspended spiral partially flying staircase, starburst crystal glass windows, ornately carved mantels and moldings, and additions of bay windows and the wrap-around porch.</p><br>

<p>In 1951, the citizens of Seguin formed together to save and restore the old home and from this project was born the Seguin Conservation Society.</p><br>
<p>The first Seguin Post Office was located on the same property as the Los Nogales museum. Senator Juan Seguin helped establish a mail route to Seguin and Los Nogales, hence the building was previously referred to as the "Juan Seguin Post Office". The tree-top mail office was quite unique as it was operated from an old tree-house.</p><br>
<p>On March 24, 1972, the old building was placed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>Museum</h2><br>
<p>Los Nogales currently serves the community as a museum and is home to many local historical artifacts. The museum is occasionally open for tours.</p><br>
<p>The Phoenix Towers were designed by Ralph C. Harris and built by Del E. Webb in Modern Movement style.</p><br>
<p>The buildings, completed in 1957, are located a mile and a half north of downtown Phoenix at the corner of Central Avenue and Monte Vista Road. The main building is 14 stories with four wings forming an X. "Towers" may be misleading, as there is only one high-rise building, but 2 of the wings are much larger than the other two, giving an appearance of separate buildings. The other building included in the National Register of Historic Places site is a low-rise pool house. The projecting concrete ledges on the towers serve as both balconies and as awnings for the apartments below.</p><br>
<p>The property borders the Heard Museum, which is just east on Monte Vista Road.</p><br>
<p>The buildings were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2008.</p><br>

The house is currently home to the Marian Anderson Museum and Historical Society.</p><br>
<h2>History and architectural features</h2><br>
<p>The Marian Anderson House was built circa 1870 as a two-story, brick terraced dwelling in the Italianate style. A studio was added above the previously one-story, rear kitchen ell sometime around 1925. The home was then extensively renovated circa 1940. It served as the residence of opera singer and civil rights advocate Marian Anderson from 1924 to 1943.</p><br>
<p>This historic residence was added to the National Register of Historic Places in April 2011.</p><br>
<h2>Marian Anderson Museum and Historical Society</h2><br>
<p>The property currently houses the Marian Anderson Museum and Historical Society. The organization was founded by Blanche Burton-Lyles. Its current CEO is Jillian Patricia Pirtle.</p><br>

<p>The Lewis and Clark County Hospital Historic District is a historic district in Helena, Lewis and Clark County, Montana. It has also been known as "Cooney Convalescent Home", "Miners Hospital", "Poor Farm", and "Old Cooney Home". There are seven buildings and a garden on the property; four buildings and the garden are part of the historic district: the hospital, detention hospital, shed, superintendents residence, and garden. The non-contributing buildings are the modern garage, concrete garage, and ambulance garage.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Public hospital care in Lewis and Clark County began with the Miner&#39;s Hospital in 1866. Until 1885, public medical care occurred at several locations and via multiple funding mechanisms, including a "Poor Farm" where people grew their own food. The current location came into use in 1885 when a new hospital was built on the current site, designed by M. Bakker. In 1891 it became known as the Lewis and Clark County Hospital, with a focus on providing care for those who could not afford a private hospital, which was a major problem in the days before Social Security, especially for those without children to provide assistance. Expansion of the building occurred in the early 1890s and again in 1899, when architect Charles S. Haire designed new wings.</p><br>
<p>From the 1880s to the 1920s, records show that more than 350 people were buried on this site in a county cemetery, although the markers are long gone and the exact location of the cemetery is unknown.</p><br>
<h3>Earthquake and rebuilding</h3><br>
<p>The original hospital structure was destroyed on October 18, 1935, when a major earthquake struck Helena. The current historic main hospital building was built in 1937–1939 to replace it. This structure is a T-shaped, two-story, concrete building with a basement. The Helena office of J. G. Link & Company were the architects of this Art Deco/Early Moderne design, which includes a flat roof, colored concrete, and diamond-shaped tiles. The south side has a central entrance. There are many bays and windows around the exterior of the building. The interior floorplan has remained essentially the same as it was in 1939. The hospital became the county-owned convalescent home on September 24, 1961 and was renamed the Cooney Convalescent Home.</p><br>
<p>Dr. Cooney, in whose honor the hospital was renamed and the street was named, began working there in the 1920s and served as administrator until the 1950s. In 1984, the Cooney Convalescent Home moved to a new location on the other side of Helena, near St. Peter&#39;s Hospital, and the building was converted to office space, mostly occupied by various healthcare practitioners.</p><br>
<h3>Smaller buildings</h3><br>
<p>The detention hospital, also designed by C. S. Haire, is rectangular and was built in 1901. It has decorative brickwork, a basement, green asphalt shingles, and overhangs. The south side has three bays. Some of the windows are modern replacements, though true to the original style. The west side has a large brick exterior chimney. The shed is a small, rectangular one-story concrete building between the west and north wings. It has green asphalt shingles and was built around 1939. The superintendent&#39;s residence is the oldest structure in the complex and was built around 1891. It is a one-story brick building and the exterior walls were stuccoed after the 1935 earthquake. The rest of the residence is essentially unchanged since it was built. There is a porch on the north end. The garden is west of the residence, is rectangular in shape, and has concrete walkways. There is also a concrete fountain, though it is no longer functioning.</p><br>
<p>There are three garages on the property, but they are non-contributing to the official designation of historic district: the ambulance, concrete, and modern garages. The ambulance garage is a brick rectangular structure built in 1900 on a raised concrete foundation. Much of the brickwork is similar to that of the detention hospital. The ambulance garage is not one of the contributing buildings to the historic district because it is now connected to the concrete garage and its doors and windows were modified. This combined building now houses a restaurant. The modern garage is of frame construction and built in the early 1990s. It is slightly north of the residence and has asphalt shingles and two garage doors. The concrete garage is just northwest of the modern garage and was built after 1950 with a raised concrete foundation and has green asphalt shingles. It is non-contributing because it has been modified with more modern brickwork, stucco, and siding.</p><br>
<p>The Wadesboro Downtown Historic District is a 32 acre national historic district located at Wadesboro, Anson County, North Carolina. It included 81 contributing buildings, one contributing structure and one contributing object  in the governmental and commercial core of the City of Wadesboro. It includes work by architects Wheeler & Stern. Notable buildings include the Anson County Courthouse , USA Post Office, the Boggan-Hammond House and Alexander Little Wing, the Burns Inn , Parsons Pharmacy, Leak&#39;s Hardware Company Building, and the Ansonia Theater.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.</p><br>
<p>The Ballou & Wright Company Building is a historic warehouse building located at 327 NW 10th Avenue in Downtown Portland, Oregon. It was designed by Sutton & Whitney and its construction was completed in 1921, and it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on April 30, 1987.</p><br>
<h2>Design Details</h2><br>
<p>It is a five-story, reinforced concrete historic warehouse building. It is significant "as one of the best-preserved large-scale,</p><br>
<p>loft-type warehouses in the city; one which is distinguished by the quality of its exterior finish of sand grey brick on street elevations and its detailing in general. The square corner sprinkling tank and elevator tower at the northwest corner of the warehouse, also finely detailed, is a distinguishing and increasingly rare feature locally. Strip pilasters between structural bays are banded with contrasting cast-stone string courses, and the parapet is ornamented with the Ballou & Wright Company&#39;s distinctive logogram: an escutcheon displaying a winged wheel."</p><br>
<h2>Ballou & Wright</h2><br>
<p>The Ballou & Wright Company was originally a bicycle dealer in Great Falls, Montana. It was founded by Oscar. B. Ballou (1853–1946), originally from Massachusetts, and Charles F. Wright (1877–1958), originally from Kansas.</p><br>
<p>They had set up shop in Portland by 1902, and were carrying selling bicycles from lesser known bicycle manufacturers Tribune, Cleveland, Imperial, and others. In 1904 they were carrying bicycles from popular maker Pierce, and by 1905 they had added Rambler models and begun to carry automobile supplies. By 1909 they had begun to sell motorcycles part, and by the following year they had become a west coast distributor for Indian Motorcycles. They took on the Emblem motorcycle distributorship for Oregon and Wasthington (state) in 1913. By 1916 their motorcycle business was big enough that they would receive railroad cars full of new Indian motorcycles - 66 motorcycles in one published case.</p><br>
<p>The rapid growth of the firm led to Ballou & Wright Company becoming the leading wholesaler of bicycles, motorcycles and automobile parts in the northwest region of the United States. The rapid growth meant the firm outgrew multiple facilities, and eventually to have a large building designed for them in 1917. Likely because of World War I, and the recession after the war, the construction of the building was delayed, and it was not finished until late 1921. On December 30, 1921, they held an open house with over 600 guests attending.</p><br>
<p>The company eventually grew to have 12 branch offices with locations opening in major cities like Seattle, Washington (1913), Spokane, Washington (1920), and Tacoma, Washington (1936). The firm disbanded in 1960, about two years after the death of Charles Wright. Oscar Ballou had died in 1946.</p><br>
<p>The National Bank of Tacoma Building, also known as the National Bank of Washington and as the Tacoma Art Museum, is a former bank building in downtown Tacoma, Washington, United States. It was designed by Sutton & Whitney and built in 1921. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2006.</p><br>
<p>The bank changed its name to the National Bank of Washington in 1937. In 1970, the building ceased to be used for banking and was sold to the Tacoma Art Museum, which converted it in 1970–1971 for use as an art museum. It remained in use as the Tacoma Art Museum until 2003, when the museum moved to a new building. Already in 2002, in anticipation of its move, the art museum sold the former bank building to the Asia Pacific Cultural Center.</p><br>
<p>In 2007, a business named Sound Inpatient Physicians moved into the building. Sound Physicians remained there until 2015, when the company moved to another building in downtown Tacoma. As of October 2017, the building was for sale.</p><br>
<p>Bridge No. 4, near La Crosse, Wisconsin, United States, was built in 1902. It is a bowstring truss bridge built by the Clinton Bridge Company. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980 and documented by the Historic American Engineering Record in 1987.</p><br>
<p>The bridge is one of seven built during 1891-92 by the Clinton Bridge Company, of Clinton, Iowa, to bring a La Crosse County road through backwaters of the Black River and then cross the Black River itself, connecting the city of La Crosse with rural Trempealeau County. All seven were bowstring truss bridges, but one was replaced by a kingpost truss bridge nine years after being damaged in 1911. The kingpost truss and all but the main bridge spanning the Black River itself survived in 1979.</p><br>
<p>The Black River had previously been crossed by a ferry started by Alex McGilvray in 1861.</p><br>
<p>The bridge consists of two spans, and is 17 ft wide and 131 ft long. It has a concrete deck. Its steel was from the Jones and Laughlin Steel Company. The tension members of the bridge "are a combination of round and square eye-bars with the eyes made by looping over and welding the end of the bar."</p><br>
<p>The Snider Bridge is located west of Corning, Iowa, United States. It spans Kemp Creek for 119 ft. In June 1885 the Adams County Board of Supervisors received 17 petitions for new bridges, including one from George Snider. The board decided to erect iron bridges for the longest two spans, including this one. They awarded a contract for both bridges to Reeve, Ward and Keepers of Clinton, Iowa for $1,451.00. This span was completed later in the year. The pinned Pratt pony truss continues to carry traffic on the gravel road over the creek. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.</p><br>
<p>The River Street Bridge over the Iowa River at Iowa Falls, Iowa is an open spandrel bridge built during 1922–1924. It was built by the Weldon Brothers at cost of $16,900, including removal of the previous bridge on the site. It is the fourth bridge constructed on the site, a "pivotal" location in Iowa Falls&#39; development. It has a long span, 140 ft, and is built with three side-by-side arched ribs supporting concrete pillars.</p><br>
<p>The bridge was modified in 1958 by widening of its deck and replacement of its guardrails. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.</p><br>
<p>The River Street Bridge at Marble Rock, Iowa, also known as Richard W. "Dick" Weldon River Street Bridge, has the appearance of a being a filled spandrel deck arch bridge, but it is not. When it was built in 1912, concrete girders were relatively new, and this was built with straight ones in three 30 ft sections, by the Miller-Hey Construction Company of Des Moines, in one of its first contracts. The straight girders carried the load, and it is a girder bridge. However this was given a touch of elegance by its arched spandrels, which usually appear above load-bearing arches in deck arch bridges.</p><br>
<p>Thousands of small concrete deck girder bridges subsequently have been built throughout Iowa following the design standard set by the Iowa State Highway Commission (ISHC) in 1913. The River Street Bridge and only a few others preceded that standard, only a few of which remain in use, while the River Street Bridge has carried traffic with no significant change to the bridge up to the 1994 date of its National Register of Historic Places nomination. The nomination in part reads:Of these pre-ISHC bridges - and among all of Iowa&#39;s deck girders, actually - the River Street Bridge is unique for its faux arch design. The arched form was generally held to be the most aesthetically successful configuration for urban bridges for its symmetry and associations with classical architecture. The River Street Bridge acknowledges this sense of aesthetic in its arched spandrels. A simple beam bridge in arch clothing, it is a noteworthy, small-scale exercise in urban bridge design.</p><br>
<p>The bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.</p><br>
<p>The Otowi Historic District is a 29 acre historic district in northern Santa Fe County, New Mexico, having four contributing buildings and three contributing structures including Otowi Suspension Bridge and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.</p><br>
<p>Otowi (Tewa, potsuivi, "gap where water sinks") is a place on the west bank of the Rio Grande at the head of White Rock Canyon. Established in 1886 with the name White Rock Cañon, it was little more than a stop (with a salvaged boxcar for a station building) and a river crossing on the D&RGWs Santa Fe Branch, the narrow-gauge railroad popularly known as the Chili Line.</p><br>
<p>In 1923, nearby Los Alamos Ranch School requested a post office here using the ranch name. But a place near Las Vegas already had that name, so three other names were submitted, and the US Post Office Department chose Otowi. A single-lane, suspension road bridge was built in 1924. The railroad was removed and the post office closed in 1941. When Los Alamos Ranch School was taken over by the US Government in 1943 to become the secret Los Alamos nuclear physics laboratory, most passenger traffic serving the town and laboratory travelled on New Mexico State Road 4 (now renumbered NM 502), crossing the river at Otowi (heavy freight traffic was routed further north, crossing the river at Española, due to limited loading on the suspension bridge).</p><br>
<p>This place is the setting for Peggy Pond Church&#39;s historical memoir, The House at Otowi Bridge, (1959) which chronicles the life of Edith Warner from 1921 to 1951. She was postmistress and shopkeeper in the early years, and later the hostess of tearooms which became popular with scientists from the Manhattan Project.</p><br>
<p>The H. W. Clark Biscuit Company is a former industrial complex in North Adams, Massachusetts. The bakery that Herbert W. Clark built at this site began at a facility on Liberty Street, and expanded into a shoe factory building  that Clark had operated with a partner. When the Liberty Street plant was destroyed by fire in 1913, Clark placed its employees on a second shift in the shoe factory building, and had the building now called the Icing Building constructed. This building was built in a style reminiscent of mills built in North Adams fifty years earlier, and is still sometimes thought to be an older building.</p><br>
<p>In addition to the Icing Building, Clark in 1913 built a Boiler House, which was attached to a warehouse formerly associated with the shoe business (and is the oldest surviving building on the property, dating to 1884). In 1922 Clark embarked on an ambitious modernization of the facility, constructing the Baking Building out of reinforced concrete to a design by New York architect William Higginson. It was the first reinforced concrete building in the city.</p><br>
<p>Clark sold the business in 1928 after his health began to fail. His successors operated the bakery until 1954. The buildings underwent a series of ownership changes, but were used for nearly forty years by the Tartan Machine Company. That business vacated the premises in 1990. After being vacant for two decades, the property was rehabilitated and converted to residential use.</p><br>
<p>The complex was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2009.</p><br>
<p>George W. Nebinger Elementary School is a K–8 school located in the Bella Vista neighborhood of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It is a part of the School District of Philadelphia.</p><br>
<p>Its historic school building was designed by Irwin T. Catharine and built in 1924–1925. It is a four-story, nine-bay, brick building on a raised basement in the Art Deco-style. The entrance portico features Doric order columns, and at the roofline is a brick parapet. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The School District of Philadelphia ended summer school, except for students who need to earn credits to receive high school diplomas, in 2012 due to budget cuts. As a result, Nebinger principal Ralph Burnley and Leslie Patterson-Tyler, the wife of the reverend of the Mother Bethel A.M.E. Church, established their own summer school program serving students from Nebinger and other area schools. It was financed by members of the church and the Queen Village Neighborhood Association.</p><br>
<h2>Demographics</h2><br>
<p>In 2012 85% of Nebinger&#39;s student body was considered economically disadvantaged. That year Kristen A. Graham of the Philadelphia Inquirer wrote that compared to the William M. Meredith School in Queen Village and the George A. McCall School in Society Hill, Nebinger "struggles more".</p><br>
<h2>Feeder patterns</h2><br>
<p>Neighborhoods assigned to Nebinger are also assigned to Furness High School.</p><br>
