<p>Southwark School is a public K-8 school located in the Central South Philadelphia neighborhood of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It is a part of Philadelphia Public Schools.</p><br>
<p>Students zoned to Francis Scott Key School (K–6) are zoned to Southwark for grades 7–8. Students zoned to Southwark and to Key are also zoned to South Philadelphia High School.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The historic school building was designed by Henry deCoursey Richards and built in 1909–1911 on the site of the old Philadelphia Quartz Mifflin Street plant. It is a three-story, granite-faced, reinforced concrete building in the Tudor Revival-style. It features a segmented, compound arched opening and parapet with stepped stone panels. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.</p><br>
<p>Construction of the school was interrupted by the general strike of 1910. Rioters pulled down portions of the construction and used the stones build bunkers and to block the trolley tracks. When trolleys driven by strikebreakers and guarded by armed police officers came down Mifflin Street, a mob of 1,500 citizens attacked with rocks and clubs. Both officers were knocked unconscious and an eight-year-old boy was struck in the head, killing him.</p><br>
<p>As of 1989 the Southwark Motivation, a high school program with 265 students, housed its classes on the third floor of Southwark School. Established by West Philadelphia High School teacher Rebecca Segal, it admitted students who perform at average levels and provided extra mathematics and English courses, required attendance of cultural events, used the same teachers all four years, and made parents sign contracts asking them to involve themselves in the education of their children. That year the district decided to move the program to South Philadelphia High School in order to use more space at the underutilized high school campus and to relieve overcrowding at South Philadelphia elementary schools. The third floor of Southwark would be used for grade 6-8 students who were attending Francis Scott Key School, and there would be space freed for a full-day kindergarten program. Several students and parents of Southwark Motivation criticized the plan.</p><br>

<p>Francis Scott Key School is a public elementary school located in the Central South Philadelphia neighborhood of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It is a part of the School District of Philadelphia.</p><br>
<p>The historic school building was built in 1889, and is a three-story, eight-bay, brick building on a limestone base in the Late Victorian-style. It features a decorative brick corbel, small pedimented dormer, and three great flaring capped chimneys. It was named for American lawyer, author, and amateur poet Francis Scott Key (1779–1843).</p><br>
<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.</p><br>
<p>Areas assigned to Key are assigned to Southwark School for grades 7-8. Students zoned to Southwark and to Key are also zoned to South Philadelphia High School.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In 1988 over 75% of Key&#39;s students were under the poverty line.</p><br>
<p>Prior to 1989 Key was a K-8 school. In 1989 the district decided to move grades 6-8 to Southwark School in order to relieve overcrowding at area elementary schools, and in turn the high school program Southwark Motivation, on the third floor of Southwark, was to be moved to South Philadelphia High.</p><br>
<p>On June 10, 2015 an emergency notification was sent regarding asbestos found at Key. District spokesperson Fernando Gallard stated that the district had discovered the asbestos before the notification, sent by Philadelphia city controller Alan Butkovitz to officials, was sent out, and that the problem had been fixed.</p><br>
<p>The Iowa Falls Bridge, also known as the Oak Street Bridge, was a historic structure located in Iowa Falls, Iowa, United States. The span carried USA Route 65 over the Iowa River for 255 ft. The through arch bridge was built by the Weldon Brothers Construction Co. of Iowa Falls in 1928 for $51,374.98. At the time it was completed the bridge was the longest arch span in the state of Iowa. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.</p><br>
<p>The Washington Avenue Bridge in Iowa Falls, Iowa is an attractive concrete two-span open spandrel arched bridge that brings Washington Avenue over the Iowa River. Originally it carried US 20. It was built in 1934 by the Weldon Brothers for $51,710.55.</p><br>
<p>In the 1920s and 1930s if a relatively long bridge was required in a rural area, it would have been built using steel trusses, but in this urban setting where there is enough height in the bridge to allow wide arches, a concrete open-spandrel arch bridge could be built, and be worthwhile for its attractiveness. In Iowa, the Mederville Bridge (1918), the Adair Viaduct (1923) and the Iowa Falls Bridge (1928, also built by the Weldon Brothers) are other examples, but the Washington Avenue bridge is notable as a well-preserved two-span example.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.</p><br>
<p>The Alden Bridge is a historic bridge in Alden, Iowa, which carries the towns Main Street over the Iowa River, United States. The concrete bridge is 150 ft long and consists of two spans. It was built in 1936 to replace an earlier wooden bridge that had begun to deteriorate. The Weldon Brothers Construction Company supervised the bridges construction, while the Iowa State Highway Commission designed the structure; it was one of the first bridges designed by the ISHC, which used similar plans for many other bridges in the state. Labor for the construction effort came from the Works Progress Administration, providing jobs for many of Hardin Countys unemployed residents. The bridge was dedicated on July 4, 1936, as part of Aldens Independence Day celebrations.</p><br>
<p>The Alden Bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on May 15, 1998.</p><br>

<p>The Bowers–Tripp House is a historic home located at Washington, Beaufort County, North Carolina. It was designed by Benton & Benton and built in 1921 in the Colonial Revival style. The house and a secondary structure were listed as contributing buildings.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>When many successful businessmen began to move their families to the outskirts of town, A.L. Bowers hired the prominent architectural firm of Benton and Benton from Wilson, North Carolina, to design a home for him and his family in the new "suburb" of North Market Street, formerly known as Nicholsonville. A. L. Bowers and his brother B. F. Bowers founded Bowers Brothers Department Store, which was located on Main Street.</p><br>
<p>Bowers, his wife Sally Bette Tayloe Bowers, and their four children moved into the house at 1040 North Market Street in 1921. The Bowers raised their children, along with their nephew, in the house. In 1930, A. L. Bowers died, leaving the house to his four children. His son, Gus Jr., who married a school teacher named Mildred Doxie, resided there until 1945. Mildred Doxie Bowers conducted a Kindergarten class in the basement of the Bowers–Tripp House for a few years.</p><br>
<p>On April 28, 1945, the Bowers family sold the house to Tom Lewis, a prominent businessman in Washington. Lewis owned the house for only four years. During this time, the house was converted, without structural alteration, into apartments. Several tenants occupied the house during this period.</p><br>
<p>In 1949 Tom Lewis sold the house to Richard and Leggette Tripp. Richard Tripp was in the USA Navy and had served in World War II. The Tripps moved into the house with their three young children. Two more children were born shortly after the family&#39;s move into the house.</p><br>
<p>In 1960 Leggette Tripp died, and in 1962 Richard Tripp married Evelyn Latham. The Tripps lived overseas for ten years in various places, including Cambodia and Bangkok. They maintained ownership of the house during this time, and rented or leased it out while they were away. In 1973 the Tripps returned to Washington.</p><br>
<p>In 1975 Richard Tripp was elected Mayor of Washington and served a six-year term. During his time as mayor, Richard Tripp initiated the establishment of the National Register Historic District in Washington. Throughout his forty-four-year ownership of the Bowers–Tripp House, Richard Tripp made no structural changes to the house. On October 29, 1993, the Tripps sold the house to Robert and Nita Byrum.</p><br>
<p>Mr. and Mrs. Byrum owned the home until their death in October 2020. On May 17, 2021, the Byrum Estate sold the house to Ellen Brabo, the current owner. The house was sold in late 2023 to Amanda, John Phelps, and their 7 kin.</p><br>
<p>The Cedar Creek Bridge near Haynes, North Dakota, United States, is a Pratt through truss structure that was built in 1908. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places  in 1997.</p><br>
<p>It is a rigid-connected (riveted) Pratt through truss. It was one of many North Dakota bridges listed on the National Register as part of a Multiple Property Submission. The bridge is located 6 mi north and 11 mi east of Haynes. It brings a county section road across Cedar Creek, a tributary to the Cannonball River.</p><br>
<p>According to its NRHP nomination, "The bridge is significant... for its association with an important pattern of bridge construction in a number of counties in the state, in which one or two bridge companies received most of the contracts over a successive period of years, even with, or under the pretense of, competitive bidding. This pattern emerged in the late nineteenth century and, in some counties, continued into the 1930s. This bridge serves as a representative example of the pattern; it is one of the two oldest documented bridges in Adams County constructed by a long-term county bridge builder, the Twin City Bridge Company."</p><br>
<p>The Great Northern Railway Underpass at Stanley, North Dakota is a concrete deck girder bridge that was built in 1937. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>According to its nomination, the bridge "is a heavily-built single-span steel stringer design with a concrete substructure. This design saw common use in the numerous structures built to carry North Dakota roadways under railroad lines, generally beginning in the 1930s."</p><br>
<p>The Midland Continental Overpass near Jamestown, North Dakota was a steel cantilever beam bridge that was built in 1936. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1997, and was delisted in 2024. The bridge crossed the Midland Continental Railroad track.</p><br>
<p>According to its nomination, the bridge is significant "for its association with efforts to modernize and improve North Dakotas roadway system during the New Deal era, including the states first large-scale program of railroad-highway grade separation construction. The overpass is also eligible... because it exhibits an unusual engineering design. The use of cantilevered spans during the historic</p><br>
<p>period, such as exhibited at this structure, is rare in North Dakota." However, there are no records of the bridge&#39;s construction in county records.</p><br>
<p>The Nesheim Bridge near McVille, North Dakota is a Pratt through truss structure that was built in 1904 to cross the Sheyenne River. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1997.</p><br>
<p>It was argued significant partly because it is "the oldest documented metal truss bridge in Nelson County." It was built in 1904 as a replacement to a bridge named "Sampson Crossing" that was deemed, in 1904, to be "entirely useless" by county commissioners. The low bid for the job was that of Fargo Bridge & Iron Co., for $2,318.</p><br>
<p>The West Park Bridge across the Sheyenne River in Valley City, North Dakota is a concrete false arch structure that was built in 2007. Together with the corresponding East Park Bridge, it brings Valley City&#39;s 4th Street across an oxbow of the Sheyenne River. The bridge is a sympathetic replacement for a historic bridge, built in 1924, that was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1997.</p><br>
<p>The 1924 bridge was deemed significant as a good example of "early twentieth-century bridge design and construction philosophies in urban North Dakota", including having design emphasis on visual detail, and for its "aesthetic merit", relating to its unusual use of the false arch girder design and to its railings and lamps.</p><br>
<p>Christ Cathedral is the cathedral church for the Episcopal Diocese of Western Kansas. It is located in Salina, Kansas, United States, and has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 2010.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Episcopalians initially met in Salina in the general store as well as in church buildings of other Christian denominations. Christ Church was formed as the first Episcopal parish in the city and a frame church building was constructed in 1872. The Right Rev. Sheldon M. Griswold, the first bishop of the Missionary District of Salina, was the first to plan for a new cathedral.</p><br>
<p>Sarah E. Batterson of New York, the widow of the Rev. Herman Batterson, was looking for a way to memorialize her husband and donated a large sum of money to build the present cathedral. The gift came with stipulations. Philadelphia architect Charles Marquendent Burns, Jr., a personal friend of her husband, was to design the building. She wanted chairs in the nave instead of pews, and insisted they be free and unsigned to parishioners. Bishop Griswold initially asked for $10,000 to $15,000. Mrs. Batterson initially offered $25,000, and then raised the amount to $35,000. In the end her gifts totaled over $50,000. The cornerstone was laid on May 29, 1906, and the first service in the cathedral was held on January 8, 1908. Also on the cathedral property is a parish hall built in 1948 and a two-story education and office building completed in 1956.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The cathedral is cruciform in shape and faces the east. A bell tower sits at the crossing and contains a carillon of 23 bells. The tower also contains eight screened windows and is topped by eight pinnacles with finials. Entrances are located on the main façade and in the two transepts. The choir and chancel on the west side of the cathedral has nine stained glass windows. There are also windows in the main nave and in the transepts. All but two of the windows are part of series titled "Following the Steps in the Ministry of Christ." Above the main entrance is the Ascension window made by J. & R. Lamb Studios and installed in 1961. The St. Michael&#39;s Chapel is located off the north transept. The acolyte, choir room, and a restroom are off the south transept. The building covers 6,400 ft&sup2;.</p><br>
<p>The exterior of the cathedral is covered entirely of limestone quarried in Chase County, Kansas, about 95 miles to the southeast of Salina. The stone that was used for the entrance steps and the door sills was quarried in Lyon County, Kansas. The dressed stone used on the cathedral was quarried in Silverdale, Kansas.</p><br>
<p>The interior walls are covered in limestone. The seating capacity is 220 and the original chairs, made by the Manitowoc Seating Works of Chicago, are still in use. They are black-stained oak with cane seats and kneelers. The floor tiles in the chancel and choir feature symbols from early Christianity and were made by the Moravian Pottery and Tile Works in Doylestown, Pennsylvania. The canopies over the bishops cathedra, deans stall and canon stalls are hand carved, quarter-sawn oak that are stained black. The diocesan coat of arms is cut into the back of the bishop&#39;s chair. The choir stalls are simpler in design. The pulpit and lectern in the crossing are also carved of oak.</p><br>
<p>Also at the crossing at the entrance to the choir is a rood beam, which was put in place in 1918 as a memorial to the cathedral&#39;s primary benefactor, Sarah E. Batterson. The carvings on the beam were done by Alois Lang of the Manitowoc Seating Works. He also carved the St. Paul statue located in one of the niches in the pulpit.</p><br>
<p>The original pipe organ in the choir was built by Henry Pilcher&#39;s Sons, of Louisville, Kentucky. It was replaced in 1977 by the present organ, which was designed by Canon Royce Young and built by the M. P. Moller Pipe Organ Company of Hagerstown, Maryland.</p><br>
<p>The high altar was carved from Carthage marble. The center carving features the symbol of Christ the Savior and is flanked by two quatrefoils. The reredos was carved from Silverdale limestone. Four pinnacles rise from it and are capped with crockets. St. Mary&#39;s Altar is located in the northwest corner of the north transept. It is the oldest altar in the cathedral having been originally used by Christ Church parish in 1887. It is carved from oak in three panels. The center panel features the symbol of Christ the Savior and is flanked by the Alpha on the left and Omega on the right. The words "IN REMEMBRANCE OF ME" are carved along the upper front part of the altar.</p><br>

<p>Fanny Jackson Coppin School, previously Federal Street School and then Andrew Jackson School, is a public K-8 school located in the Passyunk Square neighborhood of South Philadelphia, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It is a part of the School District of Philadelphia. The school was previously named for United States President Andrew Jackson before changing the name in 2021 to honor former Philadelphia teacher Fanny Jackson Coppin.</p><br>
<p>The historic school building was designed by Irwin T. Catharine and built in 1924–1925. It is a three-story, brick and limestone in the Late Gothic Revival-style. It features a projecting center two-story bay, projecting building ends with decorative brick panels, compound arched entrance, and a brick parapet. The roof of the school includes a garden that is used by the local community.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The original Federal Street School was renamed the Jackson School in 1848. It had two property deeds, February 28, 1838 and January 1, 1842.</p><br>
<p>The current school building, designed by B. Fennimore and Irwin T. Catharine, opened in 1924. It uses a Late Gothic Revival style. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1996, in the register as the "Federal Street School".</p><br>
<p>Kristen Graham of The Philadelphia Inquirer wrote that circa 2009 the school had a "tough reputation", a previously smaller student body, and constant interaction with the police; it improved after Lisa Ciaranca Kaplan became the principal.</p><br>
<p>In 2013 Albert Stumm of the Passyunk Post stated that by that year the school had "made great progress" due to actions from the principal, who was highly regarded by the parents; in addition, improvement came from the efforts of the Passyunk Square Civic education committee and other neighborhood activists.</p><br>
<p>In 2013 the school district passed a severe budget cut which would eliminate the nurse, security monitors, counselors, aides, and secretaries; as well as eliminating funding for the school&#39;s rock band and school supplies. Stumm stated that there was still the possibility that "an 11th-hour solution" could prohibit the layoffs.</p><br>
<p>Kaplan won the 2015 Escalante-Gradillas Prize for Best in Education. That year, real estate agents promoted residences within the Jackson attendance zone, using the school as a selling point.</p><br>
<p>The school received its current name in 2021. The removal of Jackson&#39;s name was due to the Trail of Tears and his possession of slaves, and there was a petition asking to remove the name. Mallory Falk of WHYY-FM states that Andrew Jackson lacked a "significant connection to Philadelphia."</p><br>
<p>In 2022, Coppin K-8 had about 500 students.</p><br>
<h2>Student body</h2><br>
<p>Circa 2009 Jackson had 230 students. As of 2013 the school had 410 students, with almost all of them qualifying for free or reduced lunch, an indicator of poverty. As of that year, the students spoke 14 languages.</p><br>
<p>By 2015 the student body had increased to 530, 30% of whom spoke English as a second language, and 94% of whom lived below the poverty line. As of that year 33% of the students were Hispanic; many Mexicans had immigrated to the area where the school resides. there are 17 languages and 24 countries of origin represented in the student body. That year 85% of the students were other than non-Hispanic white.</p><br>

<p>Vare-Washington School, is a K-8 school in South Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States. It is a part of the School District of Philadelphia. It occupies the former George Washington School building in the Dickinson Narrows neighborhood, in proximity to Southwark.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Abigail Vare School was named after Abigail Vare, the mother of the three Vare Brothers (including William Scott Vare), who became politicians and contractors.</p><br>
<p>The historic Washington school building was designed by Irwin T. Catharine and built in 1935-1937. It is a three-story, brick and limestone building in the Art Deco / Moderne-style. It features ribbon windows, brick piers, and a projecting entrance with skyscraper-like details and rounded corners with decorative figures. The school was originally established to serve children of workers in the Philadelphia Navy Yard and had been in operation since the USA Civil War period.</p><br>
<p>In 1985 Washington and one other school were the first two Philadelphia public schools to sign up for Education for Parenting, a program in which students are taught about parenting by observing real infants.</p><br>
<p>The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.</p><br>
<p>In December 2012 Superintendent William R. Hite Jr. presented a proposal that would close Washington and move Abigail Vare School into Washingtons building. At the time Washingtons building was in a better condition compared to Vares, while the Vare school had an academic performance superior to that of Washingtons. In March 2013, the school district voted to close Washington. Vare moved from its previous building to current building, and was renamed Vare-Washington School. Since the move, the former Vare School has remained empty.</p><br>
<p>As a result of the closing of Washington, all Washington staff and teachers were to lose their positions, even though the Washington building was staying open. On May 14, 2013, the Philadelphia Federation of Teachers filed a grievance to try to reverse this decision.</p><br>

<p>From National Historic Landmarks & National Register of Historic Places in Pennsylvania, Pennsylvania Historic Resource Survey Form, July 1986</p><br>
<p>Physical Description</p><br>
<p>The George Washington School is similar in appearance to the Robert Fulton and George Meade Schools. Constructed of brick and limestone, the school is three stories high and spans almost the length of the block. Designed in the Art Deco/Moderne style, the building is dominated by its vertical lines. Ribbon bands of windows punctuated by thin and thick brick piers further emphasize this verticality. The main entrance, an attenuated column, projects from the building roofline in skyscraper fashion. The building fenestration pattern is regular with triplet sash separating a single sash with a thin brick pier. All of the sash is double hung six over six. Limestone sills give some horizontal emphasis to the regular pattern of the windows. A thick limestone lintel above the third floor sash is a bold contrast to the attenuated detailing above. The large brick piers, rising above the parapet line, in battlement style, have limestone caps. The main entrance tower has an ornately carved, limestone entrance surround. The overscale detail, with the characteristic rounded corners is created by two figures, wearing robes and carrying lanterns, lighting the way to the main door. These figures constitute the columns which support a smooth dressed entablature with a carved name plate and fascia detailing. Rising from the entablature is a band of windows two stories in height. The sash is figured with a double hung center opening and two small, double hung side sash. A decorative limestone panel continues to the roofline. Adjacent to the main entrance is the auditorium area which continues the building&#39;s appearance with the exception of the window pattern.</p><br>

<p>The Queen Memorial Branch of the Philadelphia Public Library opened in its current location within the Landreth School building on Tuesday, January 17, 1995 in the Landreth Apartments, a residence for seniors that occupies the former school. Mamie Nichols, then Executive Director of the Point Breeze Federation, was a prime leader behind the renovation of the school into a "multi-purpose achievement center."</p><br>
<p>William M. Meredith School is a public K-8 school located in the Queen Village neighborhood of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It is a part of the School District of Philadelphia.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The existence of Meredith can be traced as far back to sometime around 1875 where it first appeared on the 1875 Philadelphia Atlas Map. This likely coincided with the town of Southwark&#39;s (now the neighborhood of Queen Village) integration into the city of Philadelphia. There is currently no known date for when the original Meredith building was constructed, however there exists 1 photo from "The public schools of Philadelphia: Historical, Biographical, Statistical", a 707 page document outlining the Philadelphia public school system circa 1897 and 2 from the Philadelphia Department of Records. The two pictures from the Department of Records are dated 8/1/1911. The aforementioned public school document also gives the name of the principal in 1897, "Mary F. Belcher". The building was likely demolished as the neighborhood saw its population grow during the early 20th century, requiring a larger building for its students. The Art Deco styled building still stands today.</p><br>
<p>The historic school building was designed by Irwin T. Catharine and built in 1930–1931. It is a 16 bay, yellow, white, and brown brick building on a limestone base in the Art Deco-style. It features pronounced molded brick mullions, two Gothic arched entrances, and brick piers.</p><br>
<p>Kristen M. Graham of the Philadelphia Inquirer wrote that Meredith had been "small and failing". As a way of desegregating the school, the district opened an arts program. and the following year she stated that Meredith was one of "the district&#39;s stronger neighborhood schools".</p><br>
<p>Circa 1993 Stuart Cooperstein became the principal, and he served in the position until 2008. Cooperstein stated in 2008 that the staff and teachers have a high level of devotion to students, and Graham wrote that the parent organization, which had financed the cafeteria&#39;s air conditioning system through fundraisers, was devoted. Graham added that the school had retained many of its art-related programs, including drama, music, and visual arts, despite budget cuts.</p><br>
<p>In 2011 the district announced that it was cutting $30,370 ($ inflation-adjusted) from the school&#39;s budget. To prevent the elimination of support staff positions parents held a fundraiser: teachers raised about $5,000 ($ inflation-adjusted) and parents raised over $15,000 ($ inflation-adjusted)</p><br>
<p>In 2017, there was consideration of establishing a lottery in order to enter the kindergarten at Meredith as there were too many families seeking to send children to the school. Several area parents felt anxiety towards this possibility, as they specifically bought houses or rented apartments in the Meredith catchment area so they could use the school.</p><br>
<p>In 2018, the school was awarded the National Blue Ribbon award.</p><br>
<p>In 2019 one of the school&#39;s teachers, Lea DiRusso was exposed to cancer from Meredith Elementary asbestos. This led a talk with the School District of Philadelphia which then removed asbestos from many school district buildings and schools.</p><br>
<h2>Student body</h2><br>
<p>In 2017 the school had 517 students. Most of them originated from the surrounding area while some commuted from elsewhere. Graham described Meredith&#39;s student body as "diverse and stable with high attendance". That year, 64% of the students were non-Hispanic white. As of 2018 about 20% of the students are below the poverty line, and that figure for 2017 was 26%.</p><br>

<p>The Urbain Cote Round Barn near Dunseith, North Dakota, United States, is a round barn that was built in 1943. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The owners, the Cote family, were French-Canadian immigrants from Eastern Canada who immigrated and purchased the farm in 1943 and built the barn the same year. In the years before World War II, the Cotes specialized in barn construction; they modeled the barn after the Levi Glick Round Barn in Surrey, 100 miles southwest of Dunseith. The Glick barn was built in 1923 with hollow clay tile walls and a central silo.</p><br>
<p>The Cotes Barn was constructed of masonry walls, "double mow floor, gracious stairway, decorative shingling, lack of interior silo, and opposing dormers for ventillation." It is significant due to its dual use of housing cattle on the first floor and dances on the second. Its hay loft floor has "double floor boards, an unusual expenditure of materials in hay loft floors. The barn was used by roller skaters during the 1950s and shows little wear or sagging." The Cotes were reportedly so proud of the barn, they shingled the domed roof with eight different colors of shingles.</p><br>
<p>In a 1976 State Historical Society of North Dakota survey, the barn was identified as the only surviving barn of its type. A 1986 survey about round barn locations found it to be the barn "most frequently mentioned". In 2000, the State Historical Society of North Dakota and the National Park Service provided a grant to restore and re-shingle the roof and restore the barn doors.</p><br>
<p>The Jens Myhre Round Barn near New Rockford, North Dakota, United States, is a round barn that was built in 1919. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.</p><br>
<p>According to its National Register nomination, it "is significant for being an extremely intact surviving example of the round barn theme", and "it is the only round barn surviving in the state which employed a ramp to the mow area". Apparently the ramp method for loading the mow was obsolescent due to advent of hay moving slings and tracks as alternatives; this ramp "may have been perceived as out of fashion and behind the times." It has a concrete foundation and wall, which contributes to another paradox in the barn&#39;s "apparently conflicting" history.</p><br>
<p>The Levi Glick Round Barn near Surrey, North Dakota, United States, is a round barn that was built in 1923 by ethnic German immigrants. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.</p><br>
<p>It is "the only masonry tile round barn built in the state" and may also be associated significantly with "history of</p><br>
<p>the Mennonites, the particular North Dakota ethnic group associated with the barn."</p><br>
<p>The Cecil Baker Round Barn near Kensal, North Dakota, United States, was a round barn built in 1921. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986. It was demolished in 2010 and delisted from the National Register the following year.</p><br>
<p>It was apparently a kit barn purchased from the Gordon–Van Tine company, "a pre-cut home and farm building supplier" in Davenport, Iowa.</p><br>
<p>The World&#39;s Largest Round Barn is a name of the red fairground barn in Marshfield, Wisconsin, United States. Originally built in 1916, the barn was listed on the National Register of Historic Places as the Central Wisconsin State Fair Round Barn in 1997.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In 1900, the Central Wisconsin Holstein Breeders Association decided to build a show barn and arena for the Central Wisconsin State Fair. It was designed by W. W. Clark and built by the Felhofer Brothers, and construction completed in 1916. The barn is 150 feet in diameter and 70 feet high and was built without scaffolding. The barn is constructed of white oak, red oak, hemlock and pine with wooden bleachers encircling the show ring.</p><br>
<p>The first fair was held here August 29 through September 1, 1916 and used for all fairs thereafter. The barn signifies the unique agricultural heritage of dairy farming in Wisconsin.</p><br>
<p>In 2022 the barn&#39;s decaying windows will be replaced, funded by a $140,000 grant from the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021.</p><br>
<p>The Annala Round Barn near Hurley, Wisconsin, United States, is a round barn that was built in 1921 according to the NRIS database. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979. The listing included two contributing buildings.</p><br>
<p>According to another source, it was built in 1917 by Finnish stonemason Matt Annala.</p><br>
<p>It is asserted to be the "only barn in Wisconsin entirely made of massive field stones."</p><br>
<p>The Dougan Round Barn in Beloit, Wisconsin, United States, was a round barn that was built in 1911. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.</p><br>
<p>The owner of the farm was Wesson J. Dougan, a Methodist pastor who gave up the ministry when he became deaf. He purchased his farm in 1906, established the Dougan Dairy, and carpenter Mark Keller finished building the round barn in 1911.</p><br>
<p>The barn sat on a concrete foundation, with a diameter of sixty feet, clad in bent horizontal wooden siding. Above that was a conical gambrel roof. A 50-foot poured concrete silo stood at the center of the structure. Cattle were housed in the ground floor, with a hay mow above. The design of the barn incorporated ideas of Professor F.H. King of the University of Wisconsin, with light admitted by many windows and ventilation provided by air ducts, wooden air shafts, and two ventilators through the roof. The barn served as a dairy barn until 1968. At its peak the farm had 120 cows.</p><br>
<p>A pioneer in scientific farming and dairy management practices, Wesson Dougan was recognized in 1926 by the University of Wisconsins College of Agriculture and Life Sciences with an Honorary Recognition Award, for combining "so successfully, skillful husbandry with a high type of rural life that his work has been a thoroughly constructive influence in the dairy industry. In this he has achieved high ideals to an unusual degree." When he retired, his son Ronald A Dougan took over the familys three farms, the dairy, the milk delivery business, and the hybrid seed corn business; RA Dougan retired in 1976, having sold his delivery business to a corporate producer. The story of the farm is told in a four-volume series of books by writer and university professor Jacqueline Dougan Jackson, the founder&#39;s granddaughter.</p><br>
<p>The Gempeler Round Barn near Orfordville, Wisconsin, United States, is a round barn built about 1912, unusual in that its central support is the trunk of an oak tree, three feet across at the top. The barn was listed on the National Register of Historic Places  in 1979.</p><br>
<p>In 1902 Chris Gempeler bought this farm in the rolling country of western Rock County. After farming for some years, he hired the Hasse brothers of Durand, Illinois to build him a round barn, which they did in the summer and fall of 1912.</p><br>
<p>The barn is a round basement barn, 68 feet in diameter. In the center of the bottom level, on a base of concrete blocks, stands the trunk of an old oak tree which rises 9 feet to support the mow floor. This trunk is upside down, 2.5 feet across at the bottom and 3 feet across at the top, providing a larger surface for attaching the 3x10 joists that radiate out and support the mow floor. The outside wall has a limestone foundation almost two feet thick. Above, the barn is clad in horizontal wood siding bent to the curve of the barn. The floor of the basement was originally dirt. The second floor is a hay mow, accessed through sliding doors on the north side. 18-foot studs rise to support a conical roof with rafters leading up to a collar beneath the central cupola on top of the roof. The original roof was clad in wood shingles; they have since been covered with asphalt.</p><br>
<p>Gempeler raised Guernseys at first. Young stock roamed free in the round pen in the center of the basement. Along the outside wall were 28 cow stalls and 11 horse stalls facing in. Between the inner circle and the outer ring ran an aisle from which Gempeler could feed his animals. Many round barns were built around a central silo, but this one was not; instead he added a silo outside the barn to the southeast about 1920. Chris Gempeler retired and his son Chester took over farming. They wired the barn around 1930, and added bracing to the roof about 1938. About 1967 Chester sold the farm.</p><br>
<p>Few round barns remain, and the NRHP registration considers this one "significant for its ingenious construction, with its main story supported by an inverse pylon made up of an oak trunk upside down in the center of the basement." The barn was demolished in 1990.</p><br>
<p>Grays Road Recreation Center is an historic recreation center, which is located in the Grays Ferry neighborhood of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.</p><br>

<p>Designed by John T. Windrim and built between 1926 and 1927, it is a two-and-one-half-story, five-bay by nine-bay, red-brick building in the Colonial Revival style.</p><br>
<p>It has a gable roof with dormers, centrally placed arched entryway with stone surround, and two internal brick chimneys. The interior features a two-story auditorium, measuring fifty feet by thirty feet.</p><br>
<p>The building was funded by the Richard Smith Family Trust.</p><br>
<p>The Corson Emminger Round Barn near Watertown, South Dakota, United States, is a round barn that was built during 1909–1910 by Corson Emminger. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.</p><br>
<p>It is "extremely tall", on a 50 ft base. It is built of concrete blocks. It has a double-pitched roof topped by a polygonal cupola with a conical top. It used to have ramps leading to two large entrances on the second level.</p><br>
<p>There are few round barns in South Dakota; Emminger may have brought the idea of building one from Wisconsin, his native state, from which he arrived in the early 1900s. He bought the farm property in 1905 for $6,000, and he built the barn at cost of $1,500 to use as a dairy barn. He moved into Watertown in 1914 and to California in 1920. Jacob Krull bought the farm for $13,600 and owned it, with exception of one year, until 1943.</p><br>
<p>Its National Register nomination asserts it is "truly a landmark in South Dakota", noting that it is located on one of the state&#39;s main</p><br>
<p>highways.</p><br>
<p>It is located on USA Route 81, about 2 mi west of parallel Interstate 29.</p><br>
