<p>The Alexandria Hotel and Annex, also known as Plaza Hotel and Annex, is located at 840-844 Brown St. in Napa, California. Built in 1910, the hotel was a work of architect William H. Corlett. The hotels design exemplifies the Mission Revival and Mediterranean Revival styles, which were both popular in California in the early 20th century. The design features three square towers on the street facing corners, overhanging eaves, and both slanted bay and rounded windows. The hotels annex is older than the hotel and was redesigned to match the hotel&#39;s architecture when the hotel was built.</p><br>
<p>The hotel was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982. The listing included two contributing buildings, the hotel and its annex.</p><br>

<p>The building was damaged by the 2014 South Napa earthquake, and has been renovated.</p><br>
<p>The house nicknamed "Idle Hours" was built in 1903 by architect Frank T. Smith for L.P. Ogden and his wife Cynthia. Because the house was considered to be out in the country at the time of its construction, Mrs. Ogden preferred to retain her town home and named her new country estate "Idle Hours". The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.</p><br>
<p>The home was owned by several prominent Beaumont families. In 1970 it was donated to Land Manor, a non-profit organization which subsequently converted the residence into a halfway house to help people return to society. In 2002 it once again became a private residence of the Bienvenu family and continues to be known by the many locals as "Bienvenu Manor". The Bienvenu family continues to do extensive renovations to restore the carriage house, servant&#39;s quarters and the large main house.</p><br>
<p>The Allen Water Station is a district of structures in Allen, Texas representing different items built in the 1870s by the Houston and Texas Central Railroad at the Allen Depot water stop. The site includes six contributing structures: the Water Station site, the 1874 Dam, a section of railroad tracks and bed, a 1910 railroad bridge, and the ruins of the water tank and pumping facility.</p><br>
<p>The &#39;Pioneer Building It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987, as "Pioneer Trunk Factory--C. A. Malm & Co."</p><br>
<p>The former factory is located just outside the area destroyed by the 1906 fire, and is one of the few remaining examples of the kind of large wooden structure that was once characteristic of industrial buildings in the Mission district. Its use of Italiente style wooden details resembles many Victorians built in San Francisco at the time. However, the style is unusual for factory buildings, and was perhaps chosen to better fit with the residential buildings that surround it.</p><br>
<p>The factory originally manufactured trunks for automobiles, which were sold in two stores in downtown San Francisco (before trunks became a standard part of the car.) In addition to the eponymous factory, the building originally also hosted a corner storefront.</p><br>
<p>After the factory went out of business in the 1930s, the building was used as a warehouse and a machine shop. In 2020, it housed the offices of OpenAI and Neuralink. OpenAI vacated the building in August 2024, and rival xAI moved in in October 2024. In 2024, Elon Musk claimed to own the building.</p><br>

<p>The Barre Downtown Historic District encompasses the historic commercial and civic heart of the city of Barre, Vermont. Extending along Main Street from City Park to Depot Square, this area was developed quite rapidly in the 1880s and 1890s, when the area experienced rapid growth due to the expansion of the nearby granite quarries. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Barre was primarily a small sleepy agricultural community until it was joined to the national railroad network by the Central Vermont Railway in 1875. Granite had been quarried in the surrounding hills as early as the early 19th century, but the arrival of that railroad connection, and another directly to the quarries in 1888, rapidly accelerated development of the granite industry. This transformed what had been a modest village into a full-fledged city (incorporated in 1895), including the construction of the commercial and civic buildings which line North Main Street and City Park, most built between 1880 and 1925.</p><br>
<p>The district is mostly linear, extending along North Main Street (US 302) between Depot Square and City Park. City Park is a triangular park formed by Washington, Church, and North Main Streets, and is ringed by civic and religious buildings, which form the southeastern end of the district. Despite the significance of granite to the local economy, most of the buildings are of primarily brick construction. They are in a diversity of styles, from late examples of Italianate architecture, built in the 1880s, to Classical Revival and Romanesque building from the 1890s and 1900s. The 1898 Miles Block (158-168 North Main) exhibits one of the most extensive uses of local granite in its construction.</p><br>
<p>Other contributing properties include:</p><br>
<p>Universalist Church, 19 Church Street</p><br>
<p>United States Post Office, 3 South Main Street</p><br>
<p>First Baptist Church, 24 Washington Street</p><br>

<p>Robbers Roost  is a rock formation in the foothills of the Scodie Mountains portion of the Southern Sierra Nevada Mountain Range in the North Mojave Desert. The formation overlooks the southern portion of the Indian Wells Valley. The nearest municipality is Ridgecrest, California. The Los Angeles Aqueduct is within several hundred yards of the formation. The area is managed by the Bureau of Land Management. Robbers Roost lies west of Freeman Junction, which is approximately at the intersection of California highways 178 and 14.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In the 19th century, outlaws were known to use Robbers Roost to spot stagecoaches moving south towards Los Angeles through the Antelope Valley from the Owens Valley or west through Walker Pass towards the San Joaquin Valley. Modern-day Walker Pass is State Route 178. Stagecoaches in this area often carried gold and other valuable gems from the local mines.</p><br>
<p>The jagged rocks were a hideout for Kern County&#39;s most notorious bandit gang, led by Tiburcio Vásquez.</p><br>
<h2>Accessibility</h2><br>
<p>Robber&#39;s Roost is closed from February 1 through July 1 to allow solitude for bird of prey nesting.</p><br>

<p>Antioch Baptist Church is a historic church located in Shreveport, Louisiana.</p><br>
<p>On April 23, 1866, two leaders of the First Baptist Church honorably dismissed 73 black members of its church so they could begin construction of a new black, Baptist church. This church came to be known as the First Colored Baptist Church of Shreveport. The original building was dedicated on August 18, 1871. In the late 1800s, the church bought land on Texas Avenue and began construction of a new church. As the church was being built, a storm destroyed the entire structure. The leaders of the First Colored Baptist Church decided to rebuild the structure at a cost of $3,198.45. This new church, designed by Nathaniel Sykes Allen, was dedicated at 1057 Texas Avenue in 1903. Soon after its dedication, the church was renamed Union Missionary Baptist Church. Finally, the church was renamed once more, to Antioch Baptist Church.</p><br>
<p>The structure is built of red brick and white trim. The church became a member of the National Baptist Convention, USA, Inc. in 1906. The church has been renovated two times since its original dedication, in 1943 and 1958 respectively. The church was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
<p>The church also became a contributing property of St. Paul&#39;s Bottoms historic district when its boundaries were increased on.</p><br>
<p>The Marseilles Lock and Dam, also known as Lock and Dam 5, is a lock and dam complex on the Illinois River at Marseilles, Illinois. The complex includes a lock, dam, control station, boiler house, and a 2.5 mi section of navigation canal. The state of Illinois began work on the complex in 1920 by digging the canal, which was completed in 1925. The state also began construction on the lock, dam, and control station; however, due to financial difficulties these projects were finished by the USA Army Corps of Engineers. Walter Mickle Smith was chief design engineer for the complex. The complex was completed in 1933. The lock has a drop of 24 ft.</p><br>
<p>The lock and dam complex was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004. The listing included two contributing buildings and three contributing structures.</p><br>
<p>On April 18, 2013, the uninspected towing vessel Dale A. Heller, pushing a tow of 14 barges, collided with the dam complex during a period of exceptionally high water flow. Seven barges impacted the dam itself, and four of these sank. Gates 2 and 3 were rendered inoperative and gates 4, 5, and 6 were damaged but remained operational. Damage to the gates contributed to flooding in the city of Marseilles. Repairs to the dam were estimated to cost forty to fifty million dollars.</p><br>
<p>The Visalia Town Center Post Office is a registered historic building on Acequia Avenue in downtown Visalia, California. The Art Deco structure opened in 1933 and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1985 due to its architectural and engineering significance. It remains in operation as a post office.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>Commonly referred to as the "Downtown" post office or "TCS", the structure was built from 1932 to 1933 as a part of the New Deal&#39;s mission to build infrastructure during the Great Depression.</p><br>
<p>The Visalia Town Center Post Office, designed by Fresno-native architect William D. Coates, conforms to the standard symmetry used in most post offices of the time, but has unusually sophisticated terracotta detailing in shapes directly derivative of 1920s Art Deco motifs. Decorative dark-brown brick contrasts the light-tan brick used for the bulk of the building&#39;s walls. The interior ornamentation is lavish, and includes cast aluminum, marble, and a decorative multi-colored terrazzo floor.</p><br>
<p>The building has a structured steel skeleton, brick walls, a flat asphalt-composition roof, and a reinforced concrete basement. The building&#39;s volumetric massing is symmetrical and derived from the neo-classical phase of Beaux-Arts architecture. The exterior includes aluminum, granite, white bronze, and plinth. The lobby is ornamented with veined marble and a terrazzo floor, the workroom has a maple parquet floor, and the postmaster&#39;s offices have oak floors.</p><br>
<p>Two distinct architectural styles are visible in the building: the late neo-classical period of Beaux-Arts, and Art Deco ("Zigzag Moderne"). While the fenestration and ornamentation are strictly symmetrical, typical of Beaux-Arts design, the terracotta panels all contain Art Deco motifs. Following with Art Deco tradition, the architect drew heavy inspiration from a multitude of sources, including Mesoamerica, Greece, Rome, and Egypt.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>During the Great Depression the Public Works Administration often used Art Deco elements in a primarily classical and monumental framework. The Visalia Town Center US Post Office thus presages the style and aesthetic of much subsequent government architecture in the thirties. This style of architecture was commonly used in private projects in the 1920s and is often associated with decadently luxurious shops and hotels, though by the time the Town Center Post Office was built the Depression had halted most of these private projects. Although the Visalia Post Office uses Art Deco ornamental motifs, the structure is more of a monolithic monument than a pretty piece of art, a characteristic typical of Government construction in the period in which it was built.</p><br>
<p>The construction process for this building was highly labor-intensive, as seen in the careful masonry, the elaborate terrazzo floor, and the use of parquet rather than strip flooring in the workroom and office areas. The level of craftsmanship was uniformly high in most Depression-era government construction, and the Visalia Town Center Post Office provides an excellent example of this.</p><br>

<p>The Murton E. and Lillian DeGuire House is a historic house built in 1906 and located in Silverton in Marion County, Oregon. It was built in the "Free - Classic Queen Anne" style with modest ornamentation that includes leaded glass, projecting bays, groups of windows that include both long and short windows, and differing siding textures. The basic block form with dormers and gables is perhaps most commonly associated with the Colonial Revival Style.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2011. It is one of three houses in Silverton listed on the National Register in the same day. The reasons for inscription are that the house is a representative of the "Free - Classic Queen Anne" and retains integrity.</p><br>

<p>The June D Drake House is a historic house located in Silverton, Marion County, Oregon. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on March 12, 2011.</p><br>
<p>It was the Silverton home of June D Drake (1880-1969; Silverton Chamber of Commerce secretary, Knights of Pythias member, farmer, commercial photographer, and owner of Drake Brothers Studio in Silverton) and his wife Eleanor Mercedes Schoenfeld Drake (1880-1968). He was a prime mover in the establishment of Silver Falls State Park. Their house was deemed historically significant for listing on the National Register partly for its association with him and partly for it serving as a fine local example of "Free-Classic Queen Anne cottage" architecture. It was the first house in Silverton to be electrified in 1904.</p><br>
<p>It is one of three houses in Silverton listed on the same day.</p><br>
<p>Hollins–Roundhouse Historic District  is a national historic district in Baltimore, Maryland, United States. It is a primarily residential area characterized by 19th century rowhouses. The neighborhood is historically significant due to its association with the development of rail transportation in Maryland. Additional historical significance comes from the neighborhoods association with ethnic immigration to Baltimore. During the 1840s and 1850s the area was a center of settlement for Baltimores German and Irish communities, many of whom immigrated to the United States to work in the rail industry. Later, from the 1880s to the 1920s, the neighborhood became established as the center of Baltimores Lithuanian immigrant community. Because of the large Lithuanian population in the area north of Hollins Street, the area became known as Little Lithuania. A few remnants of the neighborhoods Lithuanian heritage still remain, such as Lithuanian Hall located on Hollins Street.</p><br>
<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on July 22, 2009.</p><br>
<p>The district is "located directly north of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroads Mount Clare yard and shops on W. Pratt Street", so apparently does not include the Mt Clare Roundhouse, now the B&O Railroad Museum, i.e. the railway roundhouse which contributes to the districts name.</p><br>

<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.</p><br>
<h2>History and architectural features</h2><br>
<p>Built between 1890 and 1892, this historic residence is a three-story, twenty-four-room, Châteauesque-style dwelling that was designed by noted Philadelphia architect Theophilus Parsons Chandler Jr. (1845-1928).</p><br>
<p>Created for industrialist James Hervey Sternbergh (1834-1913), the owner of the American Steel & Iron Manufacturing Company, and his second wife, it was named after Stirling Castle in Scotland and was built using squared granite ashlar. Located at 1120 Centre Avenue in Reading, Pennsylvania, it features a number of eclectic decorative elements including tall chimneys with decorated caps, a balustraded verandah, steeply pitched gable roofs, and roof dormers.</p><br>
<p>During the 1930s, Stirling served as the setting for high teas, salons and other society events that were hosted by James Sternbergh&#39;s widow.</p><br>
<p>Following the death of James H. Sternbergh, ownership of the mansion and a significant portion of his wealth were transferred to his widow; following her death, the mansion and much of the familys remaining fortune were inherited by their youngest daughter, Gertrude Sternbergh (1899-1996). A classically-trained concert pianist and graduate of the Juilliard School of Music, Gertrude Sternbergh also became one of the first women in Berks County, Pennsylvania to become a licensed airplane pilot and was a well-known patron of artists, authors and musicians across and beyond the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Among her beneficiaries and friends were American pianist Andre Watts and Metropolitan Opera star Jerome Hines. A soloist with the Reading Symphony Orchestra between 1924 and 1971, she frequently held fundraisers for the ensemble on the grounds of the estate. Through her support and the support of her friends, the ensemble was able to recruit a significant number of Philadelphia Orchestra members during the early phases of their careers to serve as the RSOs principal section chairs during the twentieth century, enabling the RSO to achieve prominence as an ensemble that was respected in its own right.</p><br>

<p>Lincoln Highway Bridge, also known as Government Creek Bridge, is located in the Great Salt Lake Desert on the United States Army&#39;s Dugway Proving Ground in southern Tooele County, Utah, United States, that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places . It once served an original proposed alignment of the Lincoln Highway, an historic transcontinental auto route.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>When the bridge was surveyed for consideration for the NRHP, it was described as being constructed of "hewn logs and log supports." The survey notes abutments originally constructed of stone which were later reinforced by concrete as part of a Civilian Conservation Corps retrofit in the 1930s. The bridge measures 14.5 x and was noted to be "in fairly good condition" upon completion of the survey in 1974.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>According to one source, sometime around the turn of the twentieth century, a road was constructed across what is now Dugway Proving Ground. In 1915, the Lincoln Highway Association (LHA) identified a road for incorporation into the highways designated route between Salt Lake City, Utah and Ely, Nevada. Constructed by laborers from the Utah State Prison, the bridge has been identified as being a component of an early proposed alignment of that route. Despite the LHAs considerable lobbying, by 1922, Utah officials had abandoned the route in favor of a more northerly alignment via Wendover, Utah along the Wendover Cut-off. The bridge is claimed to be "the only significant structure in this area that remains of the original proposed national highway."</p><br>
<p>The structure was listed on the NRHP May 21, 1975.</p><br>

<p>Dads&#39; Gates, located on the University of Oregon campus in Eugene, Oregon, are listed in the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>Background</h2><br>
<p>Oregons Dads Gates are large wrought iron gates that are located on 11th Ave. E. between Kincaid St. and Franklin Blvd. in Eugene, Oregon at the entrance to the University of Oregon campus. At their beginning, Dads Gates were supposed to offer one of the most spectacular entrances to a campus found anywhere in the country. The construction of Dads Gates began in 1938 as an art project funded by the Works Progress Administration in order to help create work for skilled craftsmen due to the recent Depression. Dads&#39; Gates historical and current functions can be described as a "work of art" and as a "landscape object."</p><br>
<p>The Gates are decorated with a commemorative plaque that helps identify its significance to those curious enough to investigate them. The plaque reads, "These gates and enclosures are dedicated to the memory of the forty-seven University of Oregon men who died in the service of their country in 1917-1918" showing their dedication towards the Universitys former soldiers. Dads Gates were created with a collaborative effort from Henry Abbott Lawrence and Orion Benjamin Dawson.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>Dads Gates are 8 feet tall and 120 feet long with each door being 10 feet wide allowing for a 20-foot entry. Both doors are mirror images of each other and each contain the bronze University seal. Dads Gates have a very intricate design to them that combine both linear and curvilinear elements. Design elements such as a scroll, cross, flower, lyre, and spear motifs can be seen throughout the wrought iron. Above each gate is written "Oregon Dads 1940" and on top of each pylon there are large glass lanterns similar to those outside of Knight Library on the University of Oregon campus. However, when Dad&#39;s Gates were originally dedicated in 1941 the lanterns were not in place. It is unclear as to when they were installed but photos indicate somewhere after 1946 and before the University Theater was built in 1949.</p><br>
<h2>Background on Orion Benjamin Dawson</h2><br>
<p>Orion Benjamin Dawson produced Dads Gates with design help from Henry Abbott Lawrence. Dawson learned the blacksmithing trade through an apprenticeship in high school and while in World War I he was in charge of shoeing horses. It was in France where he met another blacksmith that showed him how to make gates and decorative elements out of wrought iron. Many believe that Dads Gates were a collaborative effort between Dawson and Abbot more than anything. Dawson wrote in his unpublished autobiography that he felt the design was beautiful and unlike anything he had ever see. He stated, "hey are somewhat modern and yet designed in such a way that every part had to go through the fire and be forged…hen I saw Abbott&#39;s design I knew we had something, something that could make these gates the most beautiful campus entrance to be found anywhere in the country."</p><br>
<p>During the Depression, Dawson acquired work through the Works Progress Administration for various art projects. His first project was designing and producing the wrought iron gates inside of the new University of Oregon Library. He then received commissions to work at the Oregon State University campus as well as being assigned the task of producing all of the wrought iron work at Timberline Lodge. He also produced the Howe Memorial Gates for the University of Oregon, which have a striking resemblance to the ones he produced for Dads&#39; Gates.</p><br>
<h2>Dedication of Dads&#39; Gates</h2><br>
<p>O. B. Dawson began production on Dad&#39;s Gates in 1938 and they were funded by the Works Progress Administration. Burt Brown Barker, who at the time was unpaid President of the University and also an Oregon dad, heavily funded the gates. Barker was head of the WPA Department of Art in Oregon and he was approached by Ellis Lawrence to build the gate and was told that the federal government would pay for the cost of labor while the Dads were to take care of material costs and expenditures incurred while shipping and installing the gate.</p><br>
<p>While initial costs were estimated to be around $1,500 with Barker paying $500 and the Dads raising $1,000, however, costs continued to rise and in the end Barker poured in over $1,600 of his personal funds along with the Dads bringing the total cost to about $5,000. Including the WPA grant, the total cost of Dads Gates came to be $25,000. Donors were promised by Barker that, "hen you look through the Dads Gate along the mall to the library building, you will have an unobstructed and inspiring vista, the like of which may not be found on any other western campus."</p><br>
<p>One of the reasons for Dads Gates being produced was that "the working of iron for ornamental uses was rapidly becoming a lost art until the federal government revived it as a means of providing work for skilled craftsmen during the recent depression." The dedication of Dads Gates came on February 8, 1941 during Dad&#39;s Weekend. President Donald M. Erb and Joseph F. Reisch presented them with the slogan "The Gates are Open Dad." However, Barker was quoted saying that "y the time the ceremonies were concluded the marching through the open gates was that of a rain soaked crowd seeking shelter. Because of the heavy rain very few of those present took time to study the gates carefully so as to appreciate their beauty."</p><br>
<h2>Historical significance</h2><br>
<p>In the National Register of Historic Places Registration Form it states that certain criteria must be met for something to be qualified as a "historic place." One of the criteria that must be met is that, "roperty is associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of our history" and Dads Gates easily qualify for this criterion. Dads Gates are significant to Oregon&#39;s history because they are associated with the Great Depression and the Works Progress Administration which are both events that have made significant contributions to the broad patterns of the history of Oregon and University of Oregon.</p><br>
<p>Another criterion that must be met under the Historic Places guidelines is, "roperty embodies the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, or method of construction or represents the work of a master, or possesses high artistic values, or represents a significant and distinguishable entity whose components lack individual distinction." One can easily see why Dads Gates meet this criterion because there is an incredible amount of artistic quality and expert craftsmanship involved with Dads Gates because of O. B. Dawson. Dads&#39; Gates are a stunning example of the old wrought iron methods of construction used during this era and the Gates fall into both the "art" and "landscape architecture" areas of significance.</p><br>
<p>The Gates are also of local significance because of the small number of Works Progress Administration art projects that were actually completed in Eugene and because they are so intrinsically linked with the famous Oregon architect Ellis Lawrence and the University of Oregon.</p><br>
<p>Green Gables is a 1950s subdivision located in Palo Alto, California, United States. The subdivision was developed by Joseph Eichler, whose company built its first 63 homes in 1950. Eichler hired the architecture firm Anshen & Allen to design the one-story modernist houses. The houses in Green Gables represent Eichlers efforts to apply modernist principles to affordable single-family houses, which was considered a bold development strategy at the time. Contemporary critics acclaimed Eichlers work on Green Gables; Architectural Forum awarded it "Subdivision of the Year" in 1950 along with four of Eichler&#39;s other developments, and House Beautiful devoted a feature to the subdivision.</p><br>
<p>The subdivision was added to the National Register of Historic Places on July 28, 2005.</p><br>

<p>Bowlins Old Crater Trading Post is a former trading post which was located along historic USA Route 66 in Bluewater, New Mexico. The trading post was built in 1954 by Claude Bowlin. Bowlin had traded with local Navajo since 1912, and he built his first trading post at the site in 1936. The stores name came from a volcanic crater that drew tourists to the area. While the trading post initially served the Navajo, it soon served tourists as well due to increased traffic on Route 66. Inspired by his success, Bowlin built a chain of stores throughout New Mexico, which became Bowlin Travel Centers, Inc. In 1954, Bowlin replaced his original trading post with the current building.</p><br>
<p>The trading post primarily sold Native American crafts and goods to its tourist market. Due to his experience trading with the Navajo, Bowlin was a member of the United Indian Traders Association and only sold authentic Native American products at his trading post. Bowlin also offered pamphlets to tourists which explained how to differentiate authentic Native American jewelry from replicas. The trading post also functioned as a community center for the local Navajo population, and Bowlin and his family hosted community activities and contests. The building&#39;s exterior was painted with pop culture depictions of Native Americans.</p><br>
<p>The trading post closed in 1973 after Interstate 40 bypassed Route 66 in the region. Bowlin died soon afterward, and his wife sold the building, with the stipulation that it only be used for religious purposes. The Bluewater Bible School and Church used the building in the 1980s and 1990s. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on March 21, 2006. The Bowlin chain still serves Bluewater through a modern travel center, the Bluewater Outpost.</p><br>
<p>The Mosman House at 324 E. Oak St. in Fort Collins, Colorado was designed by architect Montezuma Fuller and was built in 1892 or 1893. It has also been known as the Andrews House. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places  in 1978.</p><br>
<p>According to its NRHP nomination, the house is "primarily significant as an outstanding example of Victorian</p><br>
<p>architecture in the City of Fort Collins".</p><br>
<p>Pershing House has been the residence of the commanding officers of Fort Sam Houston since 1881.</p><br>
<p>Located in Bexar County, San Antonio, Texas, the military post is currently part of Joint Base San Antonio. The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places listings on 30 July 1974. After the Texas annexation to the Union in 1845, the United States Army became a steady presence in what was then designated the Department of Texas, providing a line of defense during both the 1846–1848 Mexican–American War, and the Texas–Indian wars that ended with the 1875 surrender of Comanche chief Quanah Parker at Fort Sill, Oklahoma. The combining of Fort Sam Houston, Randolph Air Force Base, Lackland Air Force Base and Martindale Army Airfield, to create Joint Base San Antonio, took place in 2009.</p><br>
<p>Following the end of the American Civil War, the United States Department of War accepted an offer from San Antonio for three parcels of land on which the United States Army would construct Fort Sam Houston. The site and its surrounding area would come to be known as Government Hill. Edward Braden Construction began work on the project in 1876. Architect Alfred Giles designed the general staff quarters, as well as the commanding general&#39;s quarters, now known at Pershing House. Constructed in 1881 at a cost of $17,076 (equivalent to $457,000 in 2020), it was originally designated as "Quarters No. 6, Staff Post". The 10,830 ft&sup2, two-story house has eleven rooms, six full bathrooms and one half bath. In various phases during the 20th century, improvements included an enclosed porch and upgrades to plumbing, electricity and air conditioning.</p><br>
<p>While under its original name, the house would become the residence of 16 succeeding commanding officers. They were some of the most accomplished leaders in the United States Army prior to their being given charge of the base. The first occupant of the house was Major General Christopher C. Augur, a West Point graduate and veteran of several military conflicts, including the Mexican–American War and the American Civil War. Numerous Medal of Honor recipients have resided there.</p><br>
<p>The house has been referred to by its current name since John J. Pershing served as the base commanding officer in 1917, following his participation in the Pancho Villa Expedition. He was at Fort Sam Houston only two months before being given charge of the American Expeditionary Forces in Europe. Pershing held the rank of General of the Armies. The only other American to hold that rank was George Washington. The names of all the occupants from 1881 through 1973 appear on two brass-plated plaques that were initially created in the 1950s by Julia Cotton White, wife of General Isaac D. White, who was then serving as commanding officer. She presented them as a gift to Fort Sam Houston, and they were kept up to date by succeeding residents at least through 1973 when the house was added to the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>

<p>The Union School is a historic school building at 174 Center Street in West Haven, Connecticut. Built in 1890, when the area was still part of Orange, it was West Haven&#39;s first brick school building, serving as a grammar school and high school for generations of local students. Now a senior living facility, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>West Haven&#39;s former Union School stands in a residential area east of the town center, at the southwest corner of Union Avenue and Center Street. It is a two-story brick building with terra cotta and East Haven red sandstone trim, and a hip roof. Its massing is somewhat typical of Queen Anne Victorian residential architecture, with an asymmetrical arrangement of features that include a three-story polygonal tower. Its main entrance is recessed in a projecting bay that features a Romanesque round-arch opening. A nearly identical addition was added to the rear in 1914.</p><br>
<p>In 1890, West Haven was the most populous part of Orange, with most of the towns student population. Planning for this school began in 1889, and accelerated when one of the nearby district schoolhouses burned down. The new building was designed by architect Leoni W. Robinson, one of New Havens leading architects of the late 19th century. Some of Robinson&#39;s larger-scale industrial works in New Haven bear some resemblance to this school, which opened in 1890. It has been converted to senior housing after serving for many years as a grammar and high school.</p><br>
<p>The Union School, also known a Central Elementary School, was an educational building located in St. Johns, Michigan.
