<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Urbana Wine Company is four miles north of the village of Hammondsport, in the town of Urbana.</p><br>
<p>The winery was established in 1865, and known as the Urbana Wine Company until 1881 when it was reorganized under the name of "New Urbana Wine Company". The company was renamed the "Urbana Wine Company" in 1896, and the company reorganized after the Volstead Act was ratified as the Amendment outlawing drinking alcohol. The company then was renamed the Gold Seal Products Company until the repeal of Prohibition, when the company changed its name back to "Urbana Wine Company, Inc."</p><br>
<p>During Prohibition the company produced sacramental wine. The company applied for the Gold Seal trademark in 1887. After Prohibition, Edwin Stewart Underhill Jr., President of the company went to Rheims, France and brought Charles Fournier, from Veuve Clicquot Ponsardin, where he served as Production Manager. He became the winemaker and production manager of Urbana Wine Company, and although intending to stay just a few years, remained employed there the rest of his life. He introduced several important French-American Hybrid grape varieties into the production of wine. He was made president of the company in 1951. The company was known for introducing the European Vitis vinifera grape to the United States and for its production of Finger Lakes champagne.</p><br>
<p>Fournier brought Dr. Frank to help advance the effort to grow traditional European grapes in the Finger Lakes, and they brought Native American rootstock from Quebec to plant and graft with the European grapes in the Finger Lakes. These innovations proved visionary. They allowed grapes to grow in a cool climate, and to be resistant to the common phylloxtera louse, which decimated vineyards worldwide. In the 1950s, Dr. Konstantin Frank was a consultant to the winery and established a vitis vinifera grape nursery. He remained with the company until establishing his own winery in 1962.</p><br>
<p>The Urbana Wine Company was renamed the "Gold Seal Vineyards, Inc." in 1957 and it later was sold to Joseph E. Seagram & Sons in 1979, then to Vintners International in 1987 and in the 1990s to Canandaigua Wine Company which was later renamed Constellation Brands. The winery closed in May 1984 however some brands are still made with the Gold Seal name which is trademarked by Pleasant Valley Wine Company. The buildings and some acreage were sold to Linda & John Giglio in the first decade of the 21st century, and their effort to "restore" the properties began. Many wooden casks were sold and all the large stainless steel tanks used in wine production were removed. The new owners are about to begin a bright new chapter in the restoration of the building, removing several cinder-block additions of more recent years. Hopefully the beauty of the original structure will again be seen, and the winery, which once was the Most Picturesque Winery will again be celebrated in a new incarnation.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in late November 2010.</p><br>

<p>Ginn&#39;s Furniture Store is a historic commercial building in downtown Milton, Kentucky, United States. Built in the late nineteenth century, it has endured several major floods.</p><br>
<h2>Historic context</h2><br>
<p>Milton and the surrounding portions of Trimble County are a hilly region located along the Ohio River. The areas first settlers arrived in 1785, when it was still part of Virginia, and Milton was incorporated four years later. River commerce was always an important part of the local economy: across the river from Milton is the city of Madison, which was an early commercial center for Indiana, and a river ferry between the two settlements was started in 1804. The two cities have been connected by the Milton-Madison Bridge since 1929. By the middle of the 19th century, Miltons prosperity was evident in its business community, which included a factory, two blacksmith shops, a hotel, and several grocery stores. After the Civil War, economic growth was handicapped: the rise of rail transportation led to a decline in river traffic, and combined with the absence of a railroad in Trimble County, this led to economic weakness, including the closure of a Milton distillery that was the county&#39;s only industry.</p><br>
<p>Despite their economic hardships, Milton residents erected a surprising number of new buildings during the late nineteenth century. Their new construction was typically vernacular in style, in contrast to the high Greek Revival style that was popular before the Civil War. Unlike in previous decades, this periods new buildings often employed various small decorations, many of which were prefabricated; Ginns Furniture is typical of this style, featuring small elements such as ornamentation on the windows and a cornice with brackets. Unfortunately, most of Milton&#39;s historic architecture has not survived to the present. Significant floods inundated the city repeatedly in the late nineteenth century, and almost everything in its downtown was destroyed.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>Ginn&#39;s Furniture was erected on an unknown date in the last quarter of the 19th century. Built of brick on a foundation of limestone, it is one of just two historic brick commercial buildings to have survived to the present day in Milton. The two-story facade is six bays wide and features many large windows on both stories situated between limestone lintels, while the sides are divided into eight bays. Individuals may enter the building through either of two entrances in the facade or through three doors on the side; the latter are equipped with sidelights. The entire building is covered by a hip roof, which is pierced by a chimney near each end. Inside, the most impressive element is a pressed tin ceiling, which is original to the building.</p><br>
<h2>Preservation</h2><br>
<p>In the early 1980s, Kentucky Heritage Council officials travelled throughout Trimble County to conduct a survey of its older buildings for historic preservation purposes. As a result of the survey, thirty-three buildings and one historic district in the county were nominated to the National Register of Historic Places as part of a multiple property submission, and all but one of them were added to the Register in 1983 and 1984. By that time, just six pre-1937 commercial buildings in the downtown were still in existence, including Ginns Furniture Store. Accordingly, it was one of the buildings listed on the National Register in 1983, due largely to its place as a rare survivor among the earlier buildings in Miltons floodplain zone. Moreover, it was deemed to be the area&#39;s most significant building from an architectural point of view — not just downtown, but citywide.</p><br>

Inspired by the garden city movement, it is located at 1050 Frederick Street on a 35-acre site in the Venice community of Los Angeles, one mile east of Venice Beach. Built from 1949-1951, the property is just off Lincoln Boulevard, bound by Lake Street and Penmar Avenue with Elkgrove Avenue and Elkgrove Circle within its interior.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Lincoln Place Apartment Homes is an example of World War II- work force housing, financed under Section 608 Title VI of the National Housing Act of 1934. The community was originally built to house veterans returning from the War.</p><br>
<h3>Housing Shortage</h3><br>
<p>The passage of the G.I. Bill at end of World War II caused a housing shortage in the United States, with low- to middle-income families finding few rental property options. The Santa Monica Bay area was especially affected as the opening of Douglas Aircraft&#39;s plant in 1940 and the Los Angeles Airport in 1947 led to an increase in housing demand. To combat the housing issue, the Federal Housing Authority (FHA) “created a mortgage insurance program, whose low cost of lending and liberal valuation of land would encourage developers to meet this housing need.”</p><br>
<p>Ralph A. Vaughn (1907-2000), an architect trained at the University of Illinois, was the son of a prominent Washington D.C. architect, Roscoe I. Vaughn. Upon meeting Heth Wharton, they formed Wharton & Vaughn Associates, and were tasked with designing Lincoln Place.</p><br>
<p>Between 1951 and 1986, Lincoln Place was family-owned. In 1986, Lincoln Place was purchased by TransAction Companies, Ltd with Robert Bisno and James Coxeter as the two main partners.</p><br>
<p>In 1990, Bisno announced a plan to raze Lincoln Place and develop condos on the site; however in 1996, the LA City Council rejected the development plan which resulted in Bisno filing suit against the city.</p><br>
<p>In June 2001, Aimco became a 50% partner in Lincoln Place; and in August 2003, Aimco Venezia LLC, an Aimco affiliate became 100% owner of Lincoln Place Apartment Homes.</p><br>
<h2>Controversy</h2><br>
<p>In September 2000, Bisno began a revised development plan which was to include the demolition of 2 buildings and the rehabilitation of the remaining 50. Approximately 300 families moved out of Lincoln Place during this time with vacant units taken off of the rental market. This was the largest Eviction in Los Angeles History, with only disabled and elderly allowed to remain.</p><br>
<p>In May 2002, Amanda Seward working with the Modern Committee of the LA Conservancy filed a nomination for Lincoln Place to be added to the National Register of Historic Places. In November of that same year, the City Council re-heard Bisnos condo proposal. Finding that there was “no substantial evidence” that Lincoln Place was an historic resource, Bisnos plan was approved. This sparked a lawsuit against the city by the Lincoln Place Tenants Association.</p><br>
<p>Bisno filed applications in January 2003 for five demolition permits but was rejected. He filed a suit against the Department of Building and Safety requesting permits under the Ellis Act. However, in February 2003, the State Historic Resources Commission determined Lincoln Place was eligible for the National Register. The commission forwarded the nomination and recommendation to the Keeper of the National Register, at which time the file was open for 45 days. During these 45 days, Bisno demolished two buildings. The Keeper returned the nomination asking for additional information.</p><br>
<p>In May 2003, permits were issued for five buildings along Lake Street. Several groups, including the California Preservation Foundation, LA Conservancy and the National Organization of Minority Architects (NOMA) filed suit against the City, citing the California Environmental Quality Act and the LA Municipal Code. They also unsuccessfully appealed the demolition permits with the Building and Safety Commission. A total of 99 units were demolished.</p><br>
<p>In November of that year, the LPTA lost its suit against the City; and in January the preservationists lost their case in trial court. Both groups appealed.</p><br>
<p>In March 2004, Aimco began asbestos work related to redevelopment of the property. In July 2004, Amanda Seward submitted a nomination requesting that Lincoln Place be deemed eligible for the California Register of Historic Places. In March, 2004 the Court of Appeal issued an order to prevent further demolition of structures at Lincoln Place.</p><br>
<p>From 2004 to 2006 Aimco relocated tenants in more than 250 units while providing alternative housing and relocation benefits. A number of tenants were able to become first time homebuyers as a result of receiving relocation benefits. In March 2005 Aimco filed a “Notice of Intent to Withdraw” the apartments from the rental market as permitted by the California Ellis Act. Tenants in 289 occupied units were served notices requiring tenants to vacate units within 120 days.</p><br>
<p>Evicted tenants filed a lawsuit, claiming that “Aimco violated conditions of the California Environmental Quality Act as well as an agreement with the city of L.A. to relocate tenants to other units or properties instead of evicting them.” The Second District Court of Appeals eventually ruled in the tenants’ favor. Of the 147 households engaged in the legal battles, many accepted relocation packages (including funds for moving expenses) offered by Aimco.</p><br>
<h2>Resolution</h2><br>
<h3>Historic designation</h3><br>
<p>On August 4, 2005, the California State Historical Resources Commission declared that Lincoln Place was eligible to be placed on the California Register of Historical Resources. According to the Commission, Lincoln Place exemplified an "excellent enduring example of both the garden city property type and of Modernist architecture." In addition, the Commission cited the unique site plan and observed that it was one of few surviving prominent examples of postwar middle-income residential architecture. Subsequently, Aimco applied to the National Park Service to be listed on the National Register of Historic Places. This listing was granted in December 2015.</p><br>
<h3>Settlement</h3><br>
<p>In May 2009, Aimco signed a settlement agreement with Amanda Seward and the 20th Century Architectural Alliance which settled and concluded all claims concerning Lincoln Place. The agreement requires that the Secretary of Interior&#39;s standards be followed for historic rehabilitation at Lincoln Place. A total of 696 units will be restored and 99 new units are to be constructed on vacant lots. In August, 2009 Aimco signed a settlement agreement with the former occupants of the site which allows up to 83 former tenants to return to Lincoln Place. 50 exercised their option to return.</p><br>
<p>In May 2010, the Los Angeles City Council approved a settlement reached between Aimco and the City which settled and concluded all claims in connection with Lincoln Place. The agreement includes City cooperation for permitting and support for funding to make Lincoln Place a model of sustainability and historic preservation.</p><br>
<p>Zion Lutheran Church, also known as the Zion Church of the City of Baltimore , is a historic Evangelical Lutheran church located in downtown Baltimore, Maryland, United States, founded 1755.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The congregation was founded in 1755 in order to serve the needs of Lutheran immigrants from Germany, as well as Germans from Pennsylvania who moved to Baltimore. It has a bilingual congregation that provides sermons in both German and English. In 1762 the congregation built its first church on Fish Street (later East Fayette Street). By 1773, a new church constitution had replaced the church&#39;s earlier core document, and eventually, the 1762 structure was also replaced by a bigger building, the current Zion Church on North Gay Street, erected from 1807 to 1808 in a Gothic style. An additional expansion of the church to the west along East Lexington Street to North Holliday Street composed of an "Adlersaal" (Parish House), bell tower, parsonage and an enclosed garden designed of Hanseatic North German architecture was constructed under Rev. Julius K. Hofmann in 1912-1913. In the late 1920s, the entire block south of the church was razed to form a monumental square (known as War Memorial Plaza or, less frequently, as "City Hall Plaza") opposite the Baltimore City Hall of 1875 on the western side and construction at the eastern end of the War Memorial Building with an auditorium, historical exhibit area and veterans organizations offices. On the south side of the church buildings facing the plaza, a new headquarters for the Baltimore City Fire Department was constructed in a Georgian-Federal style complementing the original Zion Church around the corner.</p><br>

<p>The Frequency Changing Station in East Central, Spokane, Washington is a building listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It was built by the Spokane and Inland Empire Railroad in 1908 to house electrical equipment used by the electric railway. Power was generated at the Nine Mile Falls dam and transmitted to the Frequency Changing Station. The station provided direct current to the streetcar network within the city of Spokane. To provide power to the rail network outside Spokane, the station converted a portion of the power to alternating current and fed it to a series of electrical substations spaced about 15 mi on the operating line. The substations then converted power back to direct current for the streetcars, but also sold power at 110 volts AC to the communities.</p><br>
<p>The main station housed four motor-generator sets, four 1250 kilowatt transformers, three 375 kilowatt transformers, and three 75 kilowatt transformers. The east wing of the station contained a 550-volt, 275-cell storage battery. All of this electrical equipment was removed around 1939, when the owning railroad sold the property.</p><br>
<p>The railroad connected the cities of Colfax, Washington and Moscow, Idaho to Spokane, and the electric railway figured heavily in the rapid development of the area where it passed.</p><br>
<p>In the decades since the railroad sold the property, the building has served multiple purposes. By the 1970s it was being used as storage for a boat dealership. At that time, it was renovated and turned into condominium housing. As of 2012, it is still used as housing.</p><br>
<p>The Robert E. Campbell House is a historic house located in Springfield, Oregon. The architectural style reflects Rural Gothic style and it was built by early pioneer Robert E. Campbell about 1873. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on November 1, 1979.</p><br>
<h2>Setting</h2><br>
<p>In 1979 the historic building sits on a remaining.44 acre parcel of Campbell&#39;s Donation Land Claim of 1852. This parcel constitutes a rectangular 150 ft by 127 ft lot bounded on the east by Aspen Avenue. The structure remains in good condition and largely intact in form and detail. Located outside the city limits in a rural suburban neighborhood the home has about 30 ft clearance on all sides. The front yard has trees from close to the time the house was built and a garden featuring 26 varieties of rhododendron. There is a large garden in the rear also.</p><br>
<h2>Robert E. Campbell</h2><br>
<p>Robert E. Campbell was born September 4, 1830, in Lafayette County, Missouri and married Ruth Campbell there in 1849. With a team oxen and two cows the Campbells and a cousin traveled to Lane County, Oregon from April to October 1851. He built a 17 ft by 24 ft two room log cabin there in 1852. In addition to the substantial agriculture and animal husbandry activities on his 320 acre 1852 Donation Land Claim, he engaged in mining in Jackson County in 1854 and shipping. With his cousin he constructed a flatboat and transported 35 ST of flour to Portland in 1859 for which they received a barrel. He built the home now known as the Robert E. Campbell House between 1870 and 1873 and removed there in 1876.</p><br>
<p>The Charles C. Fitch Farmstead is a historic farm property located in Eugene, Oregon. It was listed as a historic district on the National Register of Historic Places  on June 16, 1989.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The property nominated for listing on the NRHP is the remaining 7.22 acre of Charles Fitch&#39;s 1902 78 acre farmstead. It constitutes the functional center of the farming operation conducted on the land for decades. It represents a well preserved example of farming practices in western Lane County. The postal address is 26689 Pickens Road, Eugene, Oregon 97402. The property is about 9 miles west of the city, accessed by a private road running northeast for about.66 mi and culminating in a historic driveway which gives access to the building complex, orchard, garden plot and hay field/pasture.</p><br>
<p>Nine historic buildings, including a 1914 American Craftsman style farmhouse, are on the property. A feeder barn, fruit house and fuel house were built in 1926 and in 1930 a garage and shop, machine shed, and chicken house were constructed. These buildings are in a state of good repair and of original construction. Three other outbuildings on the property are in disrepair but reflect the scale and variety of the agricultural operation. They are a smokehouse, a bee–hive house, and an outhouse. The farmhouse was designed and built by Charles Fitch and the others by his son and daughter in law, Burr Edson and Valley Agnes (Storey) Fitch. Most of the wood for construction of all these buildings was harvested and sawmilled on the property.</p><br>
<p>The property was heavily timbered on August 9, 1902 when Fitch purchased Lot 5 in Section 3 of Township 18 South, Range West of Willamette Meridian. This consisted of 2.6 acre and adjoining property of 76 acre. The harvest and sawmilling of the timber on the property provided material for construction and lumber for sale as well as clearing the land for farming. The farmstead had a wide range of agricultural production, grains and hay were complemented by vegetables and a fruit orchard. Bees were kept to pollinate the fruit and animal husbandry included a large chicken coop as well as several head of cattle and some hogs.</p><br>
<p>Elevation at the house is 450 ft. The mean annual temperature is 52 to 54 F and precipitation 40 to 50 in. The soil is classed 2E for agricultural use by the United States Department of Agriculture on a scale of 1 to 8 with 1 being most productive. The land lays nearly level to gradual stream terraces and low foothills with elevation varying from 300 to 600 ft</p><br>
<p>The Brattain–Hadley House was located in Springfield, Oregon, United States, and was formerly listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Fire destroyed much of the house in 1997, and in 2012 a demolition contractor removed the house for safety reasons.</p><br>
<p>Paul Brattain, an 1852 pioneer, obtained a 160-acre donation land claim soon after moving from Iowa to Oregon. The Brattain farm was entirely within modern Springfield city limits.</p><br>
<p>When Brattain died in 1893, his descendants built the Queen Anne style house. Paul Hadley, Brattains grandson, was the last of Brattains descendants to occupy the house in the 1940s. Hadley&#39;s daughter, Mary Hadley Callis, allowed vagrants to occupy the house until the 1997 fire. The house was removed from the National Register on May 8, 2012.</p><br>
<p>The Bowers–Felts House on Lotus Lane in Lufkin, Texas was designed by architect Shirley Simons and was built c. 1928–1937. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.</p><br>
<p>It is a two-story masonry Tudor Revival-style house that is felt to be one of the best examples of Shirley Simons&#39; works in that style.</p><br>
<p>It is one of several Tudor Revival buildings designed by Simons in Lufkin; other NRHP-listed ones are the C. W. Perry Archie–Hallmark House, the A. F. Perry and Myrtle–Pitmann House, and the Houston Brookshire–Yeates House (1920).</p><br>
<p>The Ramey House, sometimes also called the Ramey–Grainger house, is a privately owned, early 20th-century Colonial Revival home and historic landmark located at 605 South Broadway Avenue in Tyler, Texas, occupying the southwest corner of Broadway Avenue and Houston Street. It was built in 1903 by its namesake, Thomas Brown Ramey, who was a Tyler businessman and jeweler. Ramey and his wife, Mary Josephine Ramey , were well known locally for their civic engagement and public commitments.</p><br>
<p>The 118-year-old structure is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is designated as a Recorded Texas Historic Landmark by the Texas Historical Commission. The property itself is part of the Brick Streets Neighborhood Historic District and has, since 2004, been recognized as a contributing property there. The historical significance of the Ramey House is primarily architectural in nature.</p><br>
<p>The interior of the house was extensively renovated in 1935 under the purview of prominent Texas architect Shirley Simons (1897–1963). The Ramey House was converted into law offices in the early 1980s, during which time its exterior underwent a restoration process from 1980 to 1981. It was subsequently also known as Grainger and Petterson Law Offices, though it is no longer used as a law firm.</p><br>
<p>In 1982, the house gained official status as a historic landmark when it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The listing included one contributing building and one contributing site.</p><br>
<p>Today, the Ramey House functions as the headquarters of Stonewater Roofing, which completed another restoration of the house in 2021 after it had fallen into moderate disrepair over several years. Like earlier renovations and restorations of the house, the 2021 restoration honors and preserves the historic integrity of the structure.</p><br>
<p>On October 29, 2022 a fire broke out at the Ramey House that partially engulfed the second floor and attic space. An investigation is still ongoing into the cause of the fire.</p><br>

<p>Derry Mining Site Camp was a mining site camp near Leadville, Colorado that operated during 1916–1923. It is located on the old Twin Lakes Toll Road, at an elevation of 9,320 ft. The placer mine was established on and named after the Derry Ranch established by Samuel Derry, who purchased the land in May of 1878. He homesteaded and farmed hay that was sold to feed the animals that worked in the gold rush operations in Leadville. When Derry died in 1889, his son Calaincourt Derry inherited the ranch and continued farming it until his death in 1908, at which time the ranch was sold to the Saguache Gold Mining Company, which began small-scale placer mining.</p><br>
<p>In 1913, the Saguache Gold Mining Company sold the land to the New York Engineering Company, which began shipping the components of a mechanical bucket dredge for assembly at the site, and in 1915, the 600-ton machine began operation on Corske Creek. It was at this point that the ten log cabin structures were built around Derry&#39;s original homestead building, to house mining workers. Currently, two of these buildings have collapsed and eight are still standing.</p><br>
<p>The Derry Dredge could dig to a depth of 30 feet, creating a small artificial lake on which the dredge floated while in operation. It is said that in the first three months of the Derry Dredge&#39;s operation, it recovered 3000 ounces of raw gold, making it one of Lake County’s richest placer gold deposits.</p><br>
<p>In 1924, the dredge operation was sold to the Mount Elbert Gold Dredging Company, and the operation was continued in Box Creek until 1926, when the dredge was dismantled. In 1935 or 1936, the property purchased by Charles Hallenbeck and Bruce Claybaugh, and rented by the Paddock family, who lived in the homestead and raised hay until 1937. Hallenbeck and Claybaugh continued to placer mine the property, and the ranch took on the name of its new owner, Charles Hallenbeck. In 1948 they leased the property to Gold Field Consolidated, which mined it until 1951. In 1952, the property was sold at auction to investors, who failed to realize their plan to build a ski resort on Mount Elbert. They put the land up for sale, and in May of 1998, Lake County purchased the property</p><br>
<p>and its water rights.</p><br>
<p>The Derry Mining Site was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000. The listing included eight contributing buildings and one contributing site. It is close to the Hayden Ranch Headquarters, which is also National Register-listed.</p><br>

<p>A 35 acre portion of the original ranch was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2003. The listing included 16 contributing buildings and a contributing site.</p><br>
<p>The ranch is at elevation of 9,180 ft. It is located about ten miles south of Leadville and eighteen miles north of Granite, Colorado on USA Highway 24, which is also known as the Top of the Rockies State and National Historic and Scenic Byway. It is close to the Derry Mining Site Camp, which is also National Register-listed.</p><br>
<p>Interlaken Resort District is located near Twin Lakes, Colorado and was one of the most scenic and most popular resort areas in the mountains of Colorado, in the United States. Located across from the town of Twin Lakes, it began operations in 1879 as a small and unpretentious hotel called the Lakeside Resort on the smaller of the two lakes at the foot of Mount Elbert. In the 1950s the Twin Lakes were enlarged and Interlaken was cut off from the town and only accessible by boat. The hotel closed shortly after the lake was enlarged.</p><br>
<p>The Interlaken Hotel is a two-story log structure, roughly cruciform in plan, with brick chimneys in the center of its two main wings.</p><br>
<p>The Twin Lakes Historic District, in Twin Lakes, Lake County, Colorado, is a 20 acre historic district which was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974. It included 12 contributing buildings.</p><br>
<p>Its 1974 National Register nomination asserted:Twin Lakes is perhaps one of the best remaining examples of a mountain village of the late 1800s. Nearly all of the buildings are of log construction and date from the two decades prior to the turn of the century. The town is well cared for by the inhabitants and looks much the same today as it did near the turn of the century....Much of the charm of the village is derived from its unique mountain setting and its groves of aspen and fir trees. The village is constructed entirely of native woods and stone and nestles in a small hollow against the mountains and near the lake.</p><br>
