<p>The Spanish Fort Site  is an archaeological site in the Delta region of the USA state of Mississippi. It is one of three major earthwork sites in the far southern portion of the Yazoo River valley, and it has been designated a historic site because of its archaeological value. Despite its name, the site was not built by the Spanish, and its original purpose is believed to have been ceremonial, not martial.</p><br>
<h2>Location and excavations</h2><br>
<p>The Spanish Fort Site lies along the Sunflower River nearly 10 mi downstream from the community of Holly Bluff. Along with the nearby Leist A and Little Spanish Fort sites, it is a semicircular earthwork that has received little archaeological attention. In 1988, the site was classified as having been built by peoples of the Anderson Landing phase, but this assignment was largely due to the presence of an Anderson Landing site near the earthworks. The site first appeared in print in the early twentieth century in the account of archaeologist Clarence Bloomfield Moore, who sank a few test pits at the site; according to his report, the site comprised an embankment and a group of mounds. Eighteen years later, another survey estimated the enclosure&#39;s area at 45 acre. From 1949 to 1955, yet another expedition collected artifacts from the surface and conducted more test excavations; they found evidence of occupation by the Marksville (Issaquena phase), Coles Creek (Aden phase), and Baytown (Deasonville phase) cultures.</p><br>
<h2>Conclusions</h2><br>
<p>Excavations at Little Spanish Fort led an archaeologist working with the Forest Service to conclude in 1993 that the three sites could not be assigned a single conclusive date, due to the presence of cultural material as old as the Archaic period and as recent as the Mississippian period. However, the study suggested that the enclosure itself was constructed during the early portion of the Middle Woodland period; the site has yielded pottery with characteristics that appear to have been created as local peoples culture was changing from Tchefuncte to Marksville. Radiocarbon dating shows that the Little Spanish Fort, which also was built during the Marksville period, was constructed approximately 2110 BP (160 BC) — despite their names, the earthwork sites were built long before the first Spanish presence in the region. Archaeologists have disputed the reasons for building the Spanish Fort and the other nearby earthworks: some hold that their circular or semicircular shape represented a method for humans to contain the vast cosmos, while others argue that the process of construction was their builders method of joining in the cosmos. Scholars are agreed that the Spanish Fort Site and similar sites were ceremonial locations, rather than fortifications.</p><br>
<h2>Preservation</h2><br>
<p>In 1988, about 18 acre of the Spanish Fort Site were listed on the National Register of Historic Places, due to the site&#39;s archaeological significance. Spanish Fort is one of five Sharkey County sites on the National Register, along with Leist A, the Rolling Fork Mounds, the Savory Site, and the Cary Site. The Little Spanish Fort is not listed on the National Register.</p><br>
<p>The Darrah House and Water Tank House, near Shoshone, Idaho, were built in 1913 by sheep rancher and stonemason Bill Darrah. They was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983. The listing included two contributing buildings on 5 acre.</p><br>
<p>The house is a one-and-a-half-story stone house with a truncated pyramidal roof. It is about 29 x in plan.</p><br>
<p>The water tank house is about 15 ft in diameter and about 20 ft tall. It is located about 100 ft east of the house.</p><br>
<p>The Ben Darrah Water Tank and Well House near Shoshone, Idaho, United States, were built in c. 1916 by stonemason Bill Darrah. They were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983; the listing included two contributing buildings on 1.3 acre.</p><br>
<p>The water tank is round, constructed of rock walls about 12 ft tall and 14 ft in diameter. It is covered by a concrete-coated wood plank cover. It is one of Bill Darrahs earlier water tank works, and was built for his brother Ben Darrahs upper ranch.</p><br>
<p>As of 1981 an Aermotor windmill tower and mechanism, non-functioning, rose from a well house in front of the water tank. Its survival is unusual among Darrah&#39;s works.</p><br>
<p>The water tank and well house were deemed significant "both for their association with the development of sheep ranching in Lincoln County and for their lava rock craftsmanship."</p><br>
<p>Bill Darrah also built a water tank for the Arthur D. Silva ranch a few miles closer to Shoshone, in the late 1910s.</p><br>
<p>The Thomas Gooding Water Tank House near Shoshone, Idaho, United States, is an elevated water tank structure that was built of stone in 1919 by sheep rancher and stonemason Bill Darrah. It was built for Thomas Gooding. The elevated water tank is supported on five I-beams. It is a 20 ft tall 12 ft diameter structure. Originally a windmill was atop the structure to lift the water, but is no longer present.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<p>The Louis Johnson Water Tank House near Richfield, Idaho, United States, is believed to have been built in the 1910s by sheep rancher and stonemason Bill Darrah. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<p>It is larger and taller than other water tank houses built by Darrah in the region, and probably provided water for several residences. It is about 27 ft tall (to the peak of its conical roof) and 18 ft in diameter.</p><br>
<p>The Myers School near Shoshone, Idaho, United States, was a lava rock schoolhouse built in the 1910s probably by sheep rancher and stonemason Bill Darrah. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on September 8, 1983, when it was in deteriorated condition.</p><br>
<p>It is the only lava rock schoolhouse in the two-county area covered in a study of lava rock structures.</p><br>
<p>The J. W. and Rachel Newman House and Bunkhouse near Jerome, Idaho was built in the 1920s by sheep rancher and stonemason Bill Darrah. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983. The listing included two contributing buildings.</p><br>
<p>It includes a lava rock house and a lava rock bunkhouse that was used for workers and for food storage. The house is about 27 ft by 31 ft and has coursed rubble walls. Mortar makes wide joints in the wall, as mortar is brought out to the face of the stones. It has a gable roof with narrow eaves. The house is enlarged by a frame addition across the rear that is about 12 ft deep, with a lower gable roof. The bunkhouse is about 14 ft by 18 ft.</p><br>
<p>The Arthur D. Silva Water Tank near Shoshone, Idaho, United States, was built in 1910. It was a work of sheep rancher and stonemason Bill Darrah and of stonemasons Pete Duffy & Sons. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<p>It is a round water tank built of rubble walls about 20 ft tall and 12 ft in diameter. It is covered by a concrete-covered wooden top. It is located a few hundred yards above the Arthur D. Silva Ranch, which is itself about 3 mi northwest of Shoshone.</p><br>
<p>The tank was deemed significant as an example of water tank construction, as an example of lava rock work by masons Bill Darrah and Pete Duffy and sons, and for its association with Portuguese settlement in South Central Idaho. It was built by Darrah in the late 1910s and was built higher by the Duffys in the late 1920s.</p><br>
<p>The Cordner–Calder House at 305 S. 900 E. in Orem, Utah is a Victorian-style house which was built in 1894 by William Cordner and was expanded around 1910. The home is associated with two families, the Cordners and the Calders, both of which were "prominent fruit growers on the Provo Bench" whose "participation and influence in the growth of Orem is reflected in this house".</p><br>
<p>It was built on what was once part of a 160 acre tract patented by Irish immigrant Thomas Cordner in 1886. After Thomas&#39; death, his fourth son, William, was deeded the 10 acre section portion of the land having the house in 1896 or 1902. It was later home of the Calders for many years.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998. The listing included two contributing buildings: the house and a wash-house/cellar building behind.</p><br>
<p>The Church of the Sacred Heart, is a Catholic church in Richmond, Virginia that was built in 1901. The congregation was initially Irish and German.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In 1901 Sacred Heart Church, designed by Joseph Hubert McGuire, was built using funding provided by Ida Mary Barry Ryan on land purchased in 1876 by Bishop James Gibbons. Ryan and her husbland would later fund construction of the Cathedral of the Sacred Heart. The first pastor was Rev. Thomas J. Waters.</p><br>
<p>The parish hosts the South Richmond conference of the Society of Saint Vincent de Paul.</p><br>
<p>The Birch Creek Charcoal Kilns are a group of beehive-shaped clay charcoal kilns near Leadore, Idaho, built in 1886. They were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972.</p><br>
<p>The kilns were built in 1886 to produce charcoal to fuel the smelter at Nicholia, which smelted lead and silver ore from the Viola Mine about 10 miles east of the kilns. The Viola ore deposit was discovered in 1881 and was mined until 1888 when the ore was depleted and the price of lead had fallen. The Nicholia smelter, located about 3 miles west of the mines, had two blast furnaces, each with a daily capacity of 40 shortton of ore.</p><br>
<p>A Butte, Montana, man named Warren King built 16 kilns from brick made from local clay, possibly obtained from Jump Creek on the east side of the Birch Creek valley. The beehive-shaped kilns are each about 20 ft tall and 20 ft in diameter. When operating, each kiln used 30 to 40 cords of Douglas fir wood per load, producing about 1,500 to 2,000 bushels (70 cubic meters) of charcoal over a two-day burn. The kiln operation lasted for less than three years, employing 150 to 200 people at its peak, and had a monthly output estimated at 44,000 to 50,000 bushels (1550 to 1762 cubic meters) of charcoal.</p><br>
<p>The ruins of four kilns survive. They are located in the Caribou-Targhee National Forest, which operates the location as a public interpretive site. Nicholia is now a ghost town, with only a few ruins remaining. There are no surviving remains of the town of Woodland, a short distance south of the kilns, where the kiln workers lived. The kilns were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972. The listing included four contributing structures on 6 acre. In 1987, a volunteer-assisted stabilization effort prevented one of the kilns from collapsing. The Forest Service undertook a restoration of the kilns in 2000.</p><br>
<p>The Crandall Houses at 112 and 136 E. 200 North in Springville, Utah are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. They are the Clarence L. Crandall House and the Nelson D. Crandall House. The houses were both built in 1900, and are twin houses that look virtually identical. The designs appear to be adapted from pattern books circulating around that time. The design of the houses reflects the Victorian ideal of adapting high-style architecture to vernacular style homes. The Queen Anne-style trim, in particular, is unique within Springville.</p><br>
<p>The Louis A. Crandall House at 959 Main St. in Lebanon, Oregon was built in about 1906. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.</p><br>

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987. The two-story brick building features Gothic arched windows and a detailed brick design along the roofline, visually linking the rectory to the church. The crenellated  door surround evokes the image of a medieval castle, reinforcing the connection to the Gothic style.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>One of the early works of Fred F. Willson, the rectory is derived from 19th century architectural forms. Although individually eligible for the National Register on architecture significance, this Neo-Gothic Revival style rectory is also indicative of the growing early 20th century wealth of the Catholic Church in Bozeman. The building is a significant landmark on Main Street, especially when seen next to the Holy Rosary Church, a large Gothic Revival style church, which is non-contributing due to alteration.</p><br>

<p>The Grand is a Non-Profit performing arts center on Main Street  in Ellsworth, Maine). Built in 1938, it is a significant local example of Art Deco architecture, with a prominent marquee and a stepped steel-and-glass tower. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on August 1, 2012.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Grand (Hancock County Auditorium Associates) is a 501(c)3 Non-Profit performing arts center presenting film, live theater, live broadcasts from The Metropolitan Opera and National Theatre in London, music and educational opportunities. Its mission is to "foster social interaction and growth in artists and audiences through arts, entertainment and education".</p><br>
<p>An arsonist destroyed much of the Ellsworth business district in 1933, apparently starting a fire the citys first movie theatre, the Bijou. The Grand was built in 1938 as part of the recovery effort. It was designed by Boston architects Krokyn & Brown, and is a single-story brick building which includes five storefront spaces and a rear two-story auditorium, designed for showing movies, with an original capacity of 730 patrons. The storefronts are each three bays wide and are separated from one another by brick piers. Four of the five have recessed center entrances flanked by plate glass windows; the fourth, which has been joined to an adjacent unit, has three plate glass windows. The storefronts (two to the left of the theatre entrance, three to the right) are unified under patterned brick lintels. Due to the sloping terrain, the three leftmost fronts are at a higher elevation than those to the right. The theatre entrance has flanking sections of polished granite and black Vitrolite glass which house display cases for playbills, set on either side of a recessed entrance area consisting of a pair of doorways on either side of a ticket booth. The full width of the front is sheltered by a marquee with Art Deco styling, topped by the theatres name in large stylized lettering. Behind the marquee rises a stepped Art Deco tower, consisting of stepped sections of black and red Vitrolite glass, with horizontal bands of stainless steel trim and a central wide vertical band of stainless steel.</p><br>
<p>The entrance opens into a large lobby area housing concession stands, and giving access to restroom facilities and the auditorium beyond. The acoustic ceiling tiles are arranged in patterns echoing those on the exterior of the building, and there is gold-painted Art Deco trim accenting the walls. On the south side of the lobby is the ornamented entry to a room that was originally used as a smoking chamber. The gold Art Deco trim is continued into the auditorium space.</p><br>
<p>The Grand served as a movie theatre from 1938 to 1962. The theatre was purchased by a nonprofit in 1975 and was reopened for a benefit performance that year. It has since served as a performance hall for theatre, concerts, and Met Opera HD broadcasts, among other events. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2012, citing its locally distinctive architecture, and its long-running role as a major entertainment venue in the region.</p><br>
<p>Its capacity was reduced by renovations after the 1975 purchase to 480 to provide space for a stage.</p><br>

<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Dr. John H. Adair was introduced to Purcell and Elmslie by Charles Buxton, whose own Purcell and Elmslie-designed house was a few blocks away. The original proposal was for one of their traditional low-slung houses, but Adair found the proposed house to be too expensive. Purcell decided to raise the roof, later saying, "One can always see how I was always yearning for buildings with tall steep roofs and turned to that form whenever the occasion offered." The house has some resemblance to the Edward R. Hills House designed by Frank Lloyd Wright in Oak Park, Illinois, with three stories, stepped-back hipped roofs, and bedrooms in the attic. The interior features generously sized rooms with built-in furnishing, art glass, and decorations in Elmslie&#39;s diamond motif. The fireplace has a semicircular opening with blue and gold glass mosaic accents, inspired by the nearby National Farmers Bank of Owatonna.</p><br>

<p>J. Cory Jensen, in its NRHP nomination, wrote:</p><br>
<p>The Davis house is a good example of the transitional character of the architecture on the Provo Bench</p><br>
<p>at the latter-part of the 19th century. The salmon-colored, soft-fired brick, found on many of the homes</p><br>
<p>in the region, became available on the Provo Bench in the early 1880s which allowed for greater</p><br>
<p>variation in used in Victorian-style architecture. Although Classical in form, the Victorian influence in</p><br>
<p>the architectural details is readily apparent. Because many of the farmers on the bench struggled to</p><br>
<p>make an income for many years, the architecture of their homes remained in the simple,</p><br>
<p>unembellished Classical-style architecture of their predecessors. Those who saw success in their</p><br>
<p>farms began to build or alter their present homes in the Victorian styles, mainly the Victorian Eclectic</p><br>
<p>which enlisted such details as asymmetrical facades, bay windows, arched window and door openings,</p><br>
<p>wooden shingles on the vertical surfaces, decorative brickwork, and leaded-glass windows. The Davis</p><br>
<p>house combines a Classical house type with many of the Victorian Eclectic features common from 1885-1910.</p><br>

<p>The Merton S. Goodnow House at 446 S. Main St. in Hutchinson, Minnesota was built in 1913. It was designed by Purcell, Feick & Elmslie. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.</p><br>
<p>It was deemed architecturally significant as "a fine example of Prairie School architecture designed by the noted firm of Purcell and Elmslie." The firm focused on designs for relatively inexpensive houses on small lots, such as this. According to the NRHP nomination:The houses were distinguished by simple massing, compact plans and, if possible, the use of inexpensive materials. Inspiration for these homes came from Frank Lloyd Wrights "Fireproof House for $5,000", published by the Ladies Home Journal in 1907. The Goodnow House is characteristic of Purcell and Elmslie&#39;s residential designs with two stories, a gabled roof, tinted stucco and grouped windows. The massing is unified by string courses, extended beams and boldly overhanging roofs which co-exist with the interplay of horizontals and verticals. Typical of Purcell and Elmslie was the use of both brick and stucco on the exterior. The living room and dining room are opened as a single space which pivots around the fireplace. This was a highly sophisticated spatial arrangement maximizing the sense of space in a restricted area. This arrangement was continually refined by Purcell and Elmslie in their residential work.</p><br>
