<p>Sunrise was a company mining town of the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company located in Platte County, Wyoming, United States. The entire site of the former mining district and town is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In the 1880s the area around what would become Sunrise was an important area in the mining of copper. In 1890, Charles A. Guernsey, after whom the nearby town of Guernsey, Wyoming is named, founded the Wyoming Railway and Iron Company to exploit iron mining in the area. In 1898, the Colorado Fuel and Iron company began leasing mining rights in the area to improve its supply of iron. In 1904 Colorado Fuel and Iron bought the entire Sunrise Mine.</p><br>
<p>Colorado Fuel and Iron hoped to make Sunrise a model company town. In the early 1900s company-owned houses, boarding houses, depots, a school, churches, shops, and other structures were built. In response to the Ludlow Massacre, further improvements came to the town in the 1910s and 1920s in the form of better brick housing, a YMCA building, parks, a playground, better utility systems, a hospital, and other improvements. By 1928 the mine employed 547.</p><br>
<p>Initially, the mining methods used at Sunrise were strip mining followed by glory-hole mining. In 1930, underground block caving mining was started, and by World War II all mining was underground. Ore mined was partially processed on site and then sent to Colorado Fuel and Iron mills in Pueblo, Colorado.</p><br>
<p>Because of decreasing ore quality and problems in the domestic steel market, the town and mine were closed by Colorado Fuel and Iron in 1980. Over the lifetime of the mine 40 million tons of iron ore were produced, more than any other C.F. & I. mine. The district was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2005.</p><br>

<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>When the Rev. John W. Greenwood arrived in Hastings in 1880 to organize the parish, St. Marks was an unorganized mission with no property or building, and with very few members. He held the first service on April 25, 1880 in a public hall (possibly a pub). The parish was organized and given its name on May 3, 1880 at a meeting in Charles Camerons store at the corner of Hastings Avenue and First Street. Bishop Robert Harper Clarkson of the Diocese of Nebraska pledged $400 to build a church building. A wooden structure was built at a cost of $1,200. It was dedicated by Bishop Clarkson on January 23, 1881.</p><br>
<p>The Daughters of Saint Marks suggested that a new church be built in memory of the rector’s late wife Jessie Hornbrook Young. In 1912, they raised $10,000 after Bishop George Beecher suggested that Hastings be made a see city and the new church become the cathedral. St. Marks was designated as a pro-cathedral in 1918 and served as the cathedral for the Missionary District of Western Nebraska until it merged with the Diocese of Nebraska in 1946. As part of the merger, it was agreed that St. Mark&#39;s would retain its designation as a pro-cathedral as a way of symbolizing the history and missionary tradition of the western part of the diocese.</p><br>

Two octagon shaped towers flank the main façade. The main entry projects from the front of the building. Its double doors are flanked by buttresses and topped by a parapet gable. A triple lancet window is above the entrance in the upper section of the building.</p><br>

The county home was designed by architects Benton & Benton and is a Neoclassical brick building composed of a two-story central pavilion with one-story hyphenated wings. The tubercular hospital is a one-story brick building with a gable roof. The hospital closed in 1973. The tubercular hospital has been destroyed.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.</p><br>
<p>From 1868 until his death in 1899,The Oaks was the home of Major Jedediah Hotchkiss. Hotchkiss made his mark in a number of fields including mapmaking, surveying, land and coal speculation, and education. During the Civil War, Hotchkiss first served under Gen. Robert E. Lee as topographical engineer, and then joined Gen. Stonewall Jacksons staff in the same capacity, soon becoming one of the Generals closest aides. His campaign maps, now housed at the Library of Congress, are considered by Civil War historians to be among the finest ever made. Hotchkiss returned to Staunton after the war ended and began speculating in land and minerals. He also lectured and wrote extensively about Virginia&#39;s geology, geography, and Civil War history.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>There was a house on the site when Hotchkiss bought the property in 1868. A large addition to the rear of this original house appears on his 1884 map, and tax records for this period reveal a doubling of assessed building value in 1876 and another significant rise again in 1884. The chalet-style rear wing could have been built around this time. The main front was erected in 1888 on the site of the original building, perhaps incorporating part of the original foundations into its own. Assisted by the Boston architectural firm of Winslow & Wetherell, it is believed that much of the credit for the design and detailing of The Oaks goes to Hotchkiss, who supervised its construction very closely until its completion in 1890.</p><br>
<p>The Oaks is in private ownership.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>Defying conventional style categorization, The Oaks&#39;s exterior displays many elements of the Shingle Style, although -it is·executed in brick. The somewhat restrained facade belies the richness of its interior which features seven magnificent mantelpieces executed by local craftsmen, tongue-and-groove cedar paneling and wainscoting, stained-glass windows, brass lighting fixtures, built-in cupboards, bookshelves, and a unique stand-up desk.</p><br>
<p>Unique in its design, The Oaks is difficult to categorize using conventional stylistic terms. The 21-room, 3-story structure exhibits some elements of the Shingle Style, although it is executed in brick, with various bonding patterns. The rather restrained facade is organized into three main bays, and the whole is crowned by a complex hip roof with carved modillion blocks in the cornice. The front of the lot is surrounded by an iron fence with an acorn motif on the posts.</p><br>
<p>The right bay consists of a recessed entrance with a sleeping porch above. Both these porches, as well as the sleeping porch on the top level ·of the left bay, are recessed under the roof line, a typical feature of the Shingle Style. The central bay is dominated by a 3-part, round-headed window on the second level; a stained-glass window with oak and floral motifs is fitted into the semicircular arch. Three doors, placed one above the other, originally led to small balconies. The protruding, 5-sided bay on the left features brick string courses and an open wedge pattern of rubbed bricks forming the joints between each side. Both side elevations have protruding bays with stained-glass panels in the windows on the second level.</p><br>
<p>The rear portion of the house is a 3-story, brick chalet-style structure. The gable roof has extremely wide eaves which extend approximately 4 feet from the walls. Unusually large triangular wooden brackets with chamfered edges support the rafters which have carved ends. There are two small wooden balconies off the top-story windows on the north and south sides of this wing.</p><br>
<p>There are also two outbuildings on the property. One is a 2-bay carriage house with segmental-arched openings which have been made rectangular with large concrete lintels; a loft is located under the shed roof. The other outbuilding appears to have been built in two stages and is now connected to the main house by a raised walkway. Although its original use is not known, part of it at one time did house Hotchkiss&#39;s gravity-flow water system.</p><br>
<p>The main hall is located on the second level of the central bay. This huge room has an open staircase of oak, pine and mahogany with paneled wainscoting and turned balusters; there is a bench built along the staircase wall. Nine-panel doors lead into the adjoining music room and library. The library is located in the protruding left bay and features Hotchkisss unusual stand-up desk, a built-in bookcase covering an entire wall and a nicely paneled mantelpiece with slender, turned colonettes in the overmantel and small display shelves flanking the fireplace opening. The music rooms woodwork is all painted an ivory color. This was originally the parlor and is located in the right bay behind the entrance porch.</p><br>
<p>On the first level, the largest room is the original dining room. The unusual built-in cupboard has paneled and glass doors, mirrors and spiral colonettes. Across the hall from the dining room is the old breakfast room which contains the door to Hotchkiss&#39;s enormous walk-in safe located under the entrance porch (it was here that he housed all his now highly- valued map collection).</p><br>
<p>The third level contains the bedrooms which open onto a huge central hall. It is less ornate than the main living level, but there are two mantelpieces of note.</p><br>
<p>The older rear wing of The Oaks connects to the front section in all three levels. In the basement of the wing is a large fireplace opening, which indicates that this room was probably the original kitchen. The second level of the wing now contains a small kitchen behind an additional dining room. In this room is a very simple mantelpiece which consists of pilasters supporting an undecorated frieze and mantel shelf. The original staircase of the wing remains in a hall between this dining room and the newer front addition. The third level of the wing contains an additional bedroom and bath. The flooring of the back wing is random-width pine, and all of the woodwork and molding is much simpler than that in the 1888 front section of The Oaks.</p><br>
<p>Alden Public Library is located in Alden, Iowa, United States. The communitys first library association was formed in 1882, and they acquired 225 books. The annual membership fee to use the library was $1. It was discontinued within two years, and Aldens second library association was formed in 1885 by women in the community. In time they were able to build their own building in 1892 and convince the city government to take over its support. Shortly after the city took over they contacted the Carnegie Foundation, who funded the construction of a new building with a $9,000 grant. It was designed by the Des Moines architectural firm of Wetherell & Gage, and shows Beaux Arts styling. The new building was dedicated on August 26, 1914. It is believed to be one of the smallest Carnegie libraries ever built. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1981.</p><br>
<p>More space for the library became necessary, and plans were made to double its size. A bond issue was passed in 1997, and fundraising included $250,000 from the Dr. Grace O. Doane Foundation. The new addition was dedicated on June 17, 2000, and the library&#39;s name now honors Dr. Doane.</p><br>
<p>The Bedford Public Library in Bedford, Iowa, was built in 1916. It was designed by Wetherell & Gage with Colonial Revival and Renaissance Revival features. The Carnegie Corporation of New York had accepted Bedford&#39;s application for a grant for $10,000 on April 8, 1907. The library is a brick, side gable structure with a projecting entrance on the long side of the building. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<p>The E. H. Gibbs House , was built in 1903 in Oskaloosa, Iowa. It was designed by Frank E. Wetherell in Classical Revival architecture. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991.</p><br>
<h2>Owner</h2><br>
<p>E. H. Gibbs settled in town in 1869 and became a prominent member of the community. He was a banker, real estate developer, founder of an insurance company, and a developer of a coal mine. He helped to bring the railroad to town, and founded the Oskaloosa Times and served as its first editor.</p><br>
<h2>Builder</h2><br>
<p>Gibbs hired Oskaloosa architect Wetherell to design the house, which was completed in 1903. It was the third large commission Wetherell had received in a three-year period; the other two being St. James Episcopal Church and the Oskaloosa Public Library. Known contemporaneously as "The Elms at Ridge Place," the two-story brick house replaced a frame house at the same location, which had been the family farm. The E. H. Gibbs house architecture demonstrated Wetherell&#39;s continued interest in neoclassical detailing, but was his first executed in brick. Wetherell relocated to Des Moines, Iowa three years after the house was completed.</p><br>
<h2>Later use</h2><br>
<p>The Gibbs family gave the house to neighboring William Penn University, where it was renamed Griffith Hall. It was used for offices and music rooms. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on December 13, 1991. The building has subsequently been torn down.</p><br>
<p>Lincoln School is a historic building located in Oskaloosa, Iowa, United States. Built in 1921, it is a late design of Iowa architect Frank E. Wetherell. It is believed to be the first modern, single-story school building in the state. Decorative elements in terracotta are liberally used on the exterior. The interior follows an open plan that maximized the use of light and air into each classroom. The gymnasium, manual training, and domestic science areas were rather new concepts for elementary schools when the building was built. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991.</p><br>
<p>The Malek Theatre, also known as The Malek, is an Art Deco theatre in downtown Independence, Iowa that was built in 1947. It replaced the Grand Theatre, which had burned on March 3, 1945. It was designed by Wetherell & Harrison for Bob C. Malek and was intended to be fireproof. It has a steel truss roof. A stepped tower at the front is made with structural glass and glass blocks. As of 2009 the interior was mostly original, with Art Deco style light fixtures and coved ceilings. Artist Merle Reed, of California, hand-painted its interior designs in 1945.</p><br>
<p>In 1982 the theatre was split in two, and in 2002 the dividing wall was removed.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2009.</p><br>
<p>The theatre was deemed historically significant "as an excellent example of an Art Deco style theater that has a high degree of integrity on the exterior and interior, designed by Des Moines architectural firm of Wetherell & Harrison." It is one of just two Art Deco buildings in Independence. The other is the Buchanan County Courthouse, which was built with Public Works Administration labor also in the 1930s. "The exterior of the theater exhibits characteristics of the Art Deco style including a central stepped tower, smooth finished surfaces of Glastone, and curved walls of Glastone and glass block. The interior has a high degree of integrity with Art Deco features such as curved walls, coved ceilings backlit with neon, bent neon fixtures, stylized floral motifs, and decorative metal light fixtures. The theater retains its integrity of design, workmanship, materials, feeling, association, location, and setting."</p><br>
<p>In 2009 many of the paintings had been restored or repainted. In 2009, plans included replacing a pair of tall columns that were on the sides of the stage, using blueprints obtained from Wetherell Ericsson Architects in Des Moines, Iowa.</p><br>
<p>The Malek theatre opened in 1946 on land previously occupied by The Grand theatre, which was located in the south part of the Hotel Gedney block built during the towns horse-racing heyday. The hotel block and its attached theater burned to the ground in 1945 and the theatres owner, Bohumil "Bob" Malek, a well-regarded local businessman, decided to build a new venue and appropriately named it The Malek Theatre. The new theatre was the patrons dream for that era, containing two rooms for private viewings, each with doors and thick paned glass to eliminate sound in or out. One of these rooms was called "the crying room", designed for parents who didnt want their fussy child to interrupt the movie for other patrons.</p><br>
<p>The building measures 60 x and is 42 feet high. The exterior is built of Lannon stone, vitreolite and glass block. It is 100% fireproof and is equipped with the latest equipment and fixtures (1946 quote). The theater cost $140,000 to build, and it took a year to complete.</p><br>
<p>In 1985, the then-managers decided that patronage could be improved if the theatre was split into a 300-seat twinned theatre instead of the original 862-seat undivided auditorium. Despite the investment, the newly-split theatre closed soon after.</p><br>
<p>As of January 2014, the theatre remained closed, its exterior slowly succumbing to petty vandalism and the inhospitable climate of northeast Iowa.</p><br>
<p>The Forest Cemetery Entrance is a historic structure located in Oskaloosa, Iowa, United States. It was designed by Frank E. Wetherell and built in 1915. While he was known for his buildings, he was also involved with civic improvement projects in Des Moines that included the beautification of the banks along the Des Moines River. This included a series of walls and walkways, and planning new thoroughfares to ease traffic congestion. The two pillars are composed of rusticated grey Barre Granite. They have name of the cemetery, "Forest," carved on them. Walls extend from the pillars and include openings for sidewalks. They end at iron fences. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991.</p><br>
<p>The Oskaloosa City Hall is a historic government building located in Oskaloosa, Iowa, United States. It was designed by Des Moines architect Frank E. Wetherell, an Oskaloosa native, in the Renaissance Revival style. It was originally designed along with the adjoining fire station in 1905. The buildings were designed for phased construction, and the city council decided to build the fire station first. It was individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991.</p><br>
<p>The Oskaloosa City Park and Band Stand is a nationally recognized historic district located in Oskaloosa, Iowa, United States. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983. The listing includes one contributing site and five contributing objects. The town square, which is the site, was part of the original town plat in 1844. Landscaping projects were undertaken in the 1860s, 1911 and 1970–1971. In addition to the landscaping the sidewalks and curbing were installed in 1911. The bandstand in the center was designed by Des Moines architect Frank E. Wetherell, an Oskaloosa native, and built in 1912. The 29 ft high octagonal structure is composed of concrete, iron and steel.</p><br>
<p>In addition to the bandstand, the other historic objects include the Spanish–American War torpedo; Chief Mahaska sculpture by Fry (1909); Gold Star Mothers rose bed; and the Womens Relief Corps memorial (1920).

The fire station was individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991.</p><br>
<p>The Seeberger–Loring–Kilburn House is a historic residence located in Oskaloosa, Iowa, United States. The house was the work of David L. Evans, a master builder who completed it in 1859. It is the oldest known surviving work of his, and calls attention to his skill as a builder. Evans was a native of Wales and emigrated to the United States at the age of 14. He settled in Ohio and St. Louis before settling in Oskaloosa in 1845. The two-story, brick, Italianate structure features a hip roof and deck, bracketed cornice and simple hood molds. The second story was added in 1869 by Evans. Des Moines architect Frank E. Wetherell, who was born in Oskaloosa, designed an expansion of the house in 1916. It added the solarium on the east side, and a pergola on the west. The house was individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983. It was included as a contributing property in the Paradise Block Historic District in 1991.</p><br>
<p>The C.F. and Mary Singmaster House, also known as Maplehurst Ranch, or more simply Maplehurst, is located near Keota, Iowa, United States. C.F. Singmaster, a Pennsylvania native, moved to Keokuk County with his parents in 1843 and settled near Talleyrand, south of Keota. His father Samuel established the home farm, Singmaster Ranch. The family became known for the importation and breeding of draft horses. They also had large land holdings in Iowa and Nebraska where they also raised hogs and beef cattle, and were involved in local banks as well. Samuel Singmaster bought the Maplehurst property in 1864 to expand the family&#39;s operation. At one time Maplehurst Ranch included three mansions, several horse barns, out buildings, stables, and cottages for workers. There was also a boarding house for visitors and clients to stay.</p><br>
<p>C.F. Singmaster had this 2½ story Colonial Revival house built in 1893 on the site of an existing house. It was designed by Oskaloosa, Iowa architect Frank E. Wetherell. The 60 by residence follows an irregular plan. It is capped by a cross gabled roof that features two gabled dormers with pediments on the south elevation. It remained in the family until 1968 when it was sold to Dr. R.A. Carmichael who established the first bovine embryo transfer facility in the United States on the property. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.</p><br>
<p>The Thomas I. Stoner House in Des Moines, Iowa, also known as The Highlands, was designed by Wetherell & Harrison and was built in 1931.

It is the seat of the Episcopal Diocese of Oklahoma and it has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1977. In 2020, it reported 881 members, 284 average attendance, and $967,260 in plate and pledge financial support.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>St. Pauls began as a mission in 1891. The cornerstone for the present church was laid in 1903 and the first service in the building was held on March 13, 1904. The parish house was opened the same year. The Diocese of Oklahoma elected in January 1909 to make St. Pauls its Cathedral. The educational building was built in 1949.</p><br>
<p>St. Pauls Cathedral was extensively damaged when a bomb exploded at the nearby Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building on April 19, 1995. The Celtic Cross on top of the church was shattered. The roof was lifted and the walls were splayed outward. The cathedral was closed for two years while it was rebuilt. Additional property was purchased and a new facility to house offices and the parishs outreach programs was built. The total price for the renovations and expansion totaled $7.5 million.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>Arthur J. Williams designed the church in the Norman Gothic style. The exterior features a Norman style tower. The interior has two Tiffany windows behind the altar.
