<p>The John B. Ragland Mercantile Company Building, also known as Raglands, is a historic building at 201 E. Kleberg Ave. in Kingsville, Texas. It was designed by Jules Leffland and was built in 1909 to replace a small frame store built by John Ragland in 1904. He operated the store until his death in 1908. Before he died, Ragland sold the lots and store and it was incorporated as the John B. Ragland Mercantile Co. The store sold dry goods, millinery, suits, pants, shirts, cloaks, skirts, hats and shoes.</p><br>
<p>In 1943, the company was dissolved, and ownership was transferred to Robert J. Kleberg & Co. In 1950, that entity was dissolved and it was sold to King Ranch Inc., as a new subsidiary known as Ragland Mercantile Co. It was also remodeled that same year, receiving a new facade, new interiors, new fixtures and new storefronts, including the first escalator in South Texas, according to town historian Bruce Cheeseman. The store closed in 1979. After a $1.2 million restoration project, that restored much of the original building, it reopened in 1990 as the King Ranch Saddle Shop.</p><br>
<p>In 1991, the building received two awards from the Texas Downtown Association for best store interior and best commercial restoration, and in 1992, the Texas Historical Foundation gave the building its Josiah Wheat Award of Merit, for an "outstanding historical restoration project". It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1993.</p><br>

<p>The Stonelick Covered Bridge is located on Stonelick-Williams Corner Road in Clermont County, Ohio, crossing the Stonelick Creek. The one-lane covered bridge was built in 1878. It is 140 feet long and supported using a 12-panel Howe truss. The property was added to the National Register on September 10, 1974, being the last surviving covered bridge in Clermont County.</p><br>
<h2>Damage, rehabilitation, and collapse</h2><br>
<p>In 1983 a garbage truck broke through the floor. It also suffered some fire damage in 1991. A creek bank revetment project was undertaken in 1999 to prevent further erosion from undermining the bridge.</p><br>
<p>The bridge was permanently closed to all traffic in May 2010 after its floor and supporting structure was severely damaged by an overweight truck. Repair and rehabilitation, including improvements to raise the weight limit from 3 to 12 tons, was initially estimated to cost $1.2 million USD.</p><br>
<p>After funds and approval for the rehabilitation project were obtained, a request for bids was made in April 2013, with an updated engineer&#39;s estimate of work at $720,000.</p><br>
<p>Construction work began in October 2013. A temporary steel falsework was constructed under the bridge to give additional structural support during the work and to provide work platforms, followed by the removal of all the siding. Additional work to be performed included the replacement of all siding and the roof, additional structural support, repointing and grouting of stonework, and addition of lighting and security systems.</p><br>
<p>On February 11, 2014, the upper shell of the bridge unexpectedly collapsed, falling off the deck and into the river bed, as repair work was being performed. All workers escaped without serious injury.</p><br>
<p>After assessing the collapse, the County and the contractor have determined to continue the process of restoring the bridge. They completely disassembled the bridge, inspected each component to determine whether it needs to be replaced, and continued and finished the restoration as originally planned, using as many original components as possible.</p><br>
<p>On February 1, 2015, the bridge opened to the public and is still one lane. It is still banning large trucks but can now support 8 tons as stated on the sign.</p><br>
<p>The Grand Ledge Chair Company Plant is a historic building at 101 Perry Street in Grand Ledge, Michigan, United States. It was built in 1906 and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Grand Ledge Chair Company was founded in 1837 as a small furniture shop by Thomas Garrett, Harry Jordan, and Edward Crawford. The three reorganized and incorporated in 1888, and sold the business to Edward H. Turnbull and George H. Fletcher in 1893. Turnbull soon bought out Fletcher, gaining complete control of the company. The firm prospered under Turnbull. In 1902, Turnbull founded the Grand Ledge Table Company along with David Bell and George Coryell. They constructed a factory and mill at this site, which turned out both tables and chairs. Turnbull soon bought out the others, gaining control of the Table Company. In 1906, Turnbull constructed a new three-story factory on the site, adjacent to the 1902 plant. The new building had shipping and offices on the first floor, upholstering and storage on the second, and finishing on the third.</p><br>
<p>Edward Turnbull managed the Grand Ledge Chair Company until his death in 1916, after which it passed to his wife Emma A. Turnbull. Emma managed it until her death in 1944, after which it passed to her youngest sister and her husband, Raymond Hull. The company incorporated in 1949, but continued to be managed by Hull and his family until 1973. After that, the company became a division of Holabird Company, a manufacturing holding company, but due to falling sales, the plant closed in 1981. In the late 1980s, the site was refurbished into apartments. As part of this, the 1902 structures were razed, along with more modern ones, leaving only the 1906 plant. The building continues to be used for residential apartments.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Grand Ledge Chair Company Plant is located on a bluff overlooking the Grand River. The 1906 factory building is a three-story cream-colored brick building 353 feet long and 50 feet wide. The font facade had regularly spaced windows in segmental-arched openings. The center entrance is set into a bay with a stepped-gable design, containing tripartite windows in the second and third stories above. Atop the roof on a square base is a wood-slat water tank held together with steel bands.</p><br>
<p>The Pfarr Log House  was a log cabin located in an isolated valley near the village of Milford in rural Clermont County, Ohio, United States. Built in the early nineteenth century, it provided a pivotal representation of the area&#39;s earliest built environment, and it has been named a historic site. This cabin was known primarily as a property of the Pfarr family because it was purchased by George Pfarr in late 1840 as part of a 21-acre homestead, and it remained in the Pfarr family until it was sold to Jim Wiederhold in 1976. George, a butcher and farmer, immigrated from Bavaria with his wife and three children, and the property was actively farmed until the 1960s by his children and grandchildren. Current status unknown, but it is no longer standing in its original location next to Shayler Run creek. </p><br>
<p>Although primarily a log building, the house rests on a stone foundation; the roof is metal, constructed with a very shallow pitch from the edge to the peaks of the gables. The structure is one and a half stories tall with walls built of square-cut timbers, rather than unhewn logs. The joints between the timbers feature a construction method known as "steeple notching", which was often employed in buildings constructed before 1825.</p><br>
<p>Comparatively little is known of the houses early history before the terminus ante quem of construction, 1825; a precise date of construction has not been established, and the builders name is similarly unknown. A newer farmhouse was built next to the cabin in the early 1900s, and when the Pfarrs expanded this newer residence, the cabin was moved in 1910 to make room.</p><br>
<p>In September 1977, the Pfarr Log House was listed on the National Register of Historic Places; despite having been moved in 1910, it qualified because of its historically significant architecture.</p><br>

<p>Correction to the picture and google pin information:</p><br>
<p>the Pfarr Log House is on the National registry but the picture and google pin currently on this post is not accurate. the log cabin on Olive Branch Stonelick Rd is a completely unrelated structure built by Mr. Damn as part of his pay lake in the early 1930&#39;s from logs harvested from the surrounding property.</p><br>
<p>2023-12-11</p><br>
<p>Further corrections and information:</p><br>
<p>The Pfarr Log House was actually located at approximately 39.10808608543079, -84.22685352963514 on the banks of Shayler Run creek. However, the Pfarr Log House is no longer standing at or near this location and may have been destroyed. Locals say that some or all of the structure might have been saved and moved to another location in pieces. At this time the fate of the log house is unknown.</p><br>
<p>In the early 21st century the land that the cabin stood on was transferred out of Mr. Wiederhold&#39;s ownership due to public works project (possibly for water quality remediation on Shayler Run according to local residents), and all existing structures on the land were demolished during that project. According to John Pfarr, a descendant of George Pfarr and a friend to Jim Wiederhold, the cabin was sold to a local businessman in 2007. The man then dismantled it and moved it to his property near Milford.</p><br>
<p>During its existence this log home could not be seen from any public roadway due to its remote location. The log home could only be reached either by long gravel drive paralleling Shayler Run creek that begins where Baldwin Road crosses Shayler Run or by a steep gravel track going down into the creek valley from Taylor Walk off of Olive Branch-Stonelick Rd. This is why, when a photographer for a Wiki monuments project went looking for the Pfarr Log House, they could not find it and ended up mistakenly taking a photo of a nearby 1930&#39;s log structure made for an old pay lake. It was the only log structure that could be seen from a roadway in the area, and thus was assumed in error to be the Pfarr Log House by that photographer.</p><br>
<p>The cabin&#39;s former location is now off limits due to municipal works in the area, and all of the historic structures have been destroyed. However in satellite images it is still possible to see (in 2023) the gravel drive cutting through the small clearing next to the Shayler Run where the cabin had stood since at least 1825.</p><br>
<p>Coordinates when still standing were 39.10808608543079, -84.22685352963514</p><br>
<p>The Pfarr Log House looked nothing like the more modern 1930&#39;s log cabin currently used for this article. The second paragraph of this article provides a more accurate description (1.5 stories with square hewn logs constructed using steeple notching).</p><br>
<p>The Henry C. Gale House at 495 N. 1st East, Beaver, Utah was built in 1889, of pink rock. It has had three additions since its construction. It is believed to have been built by local Scots stonemason Alexander Boyter. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<p>Originally it was a one-and-a-half-story hall and parlor plan cottage. It has a Greek Revival-style cornice.</p><br>
<p>The Berry Brothers Bolt Works is a former factory in Columbus, Ohio, United States. For more than a century after its 1888 construction, the factory produced machine tools using original equipment. The structure itself is one of Columbus&#39; most prominent factory buildings, and it was named a historic site in its centennial year.</p><br>
<p>Berry Brothers is a brick building with an asphalt roof, set on a foundation of limestone. Numerous windows, many set in pairs, cover the three-story facade of the main and secondary sections of the building. The building is typical of period factories, due to major components such as the brick walls and gabled roof, and also because of smaller elements such as the wooden windows with numerous small panes of glass, a four-story tower with staircase, and clerestory.</p><br>
<p>Near the end of the nineteenth century, Columbus possessed numerous factories that built buggies and various machine tools, and the Berry Brothers constructed their manufacturing plant in 1888 for the sole purpose of producing bolts for these factories. A competing firm, built at the same time, went out of business before Berry Brothers. Their business, on the other hand, prospered; the building was greatly expanded in 1900, and a second large addition was erected ten years later. As buggies were replaced by cars, Berry Brothers continued in operation, using its 1880s equipment into the 1980s. No longer a factory, the company&#39;s building was purchased in 2000 with the goal of renovation, although financial problems delayed the start of work until 2004.</p><br>
<p>In early 1988, the bolt factory was listed on the National Register of Historic Places, qualifying on three of the Register&#39;s four listing criteria: because of its architecture, because of its place in local history, and because of its potential to be an industrial archaeological site. The only criterion under which it did not qualify was that of association with a prominent individual.</p><br>
<p>The Tyler Hotel opened in 1910 at Third and Jefferson Streets in Louisville, Kentucky, and for many years it was the only major hotel in the northern part of downtown. The hotel became the Earle Hotel in the late 1940s and then the Milner Hotel in the early 1960s after its new owner, Earle Milner. In 1995, it was torn down to make space for the Kentucky International Convention Center.</p><br>
<p>Wharton–Scott House, also known as Thistle Hill, is a historic mansion in Fort Worth, Texas.</p><br>
<h2>Location</h2><br>
<p>The mansion is located on 1509 Pennsylvania Avenue in the neighborhood of Quality Hill in Fort Worth, Tarrant County, Texas.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The mansion was built from 1903 to 1904 for Electra Waggoner, the daughter of William Thomas Waggoner and heiress of the Waggoner Ranch, and her husband, Albert Buck Wharton. It was designed by Sanguinet & Staats in the Georgian Revival architectural style. The house is two and a half stories with a gambrel roof. Projecting bays on each side of the home use semi-circular elements. The brick house is trimmed in cast stone and the sloped roof is green tile. The interior features a grand staircase and elaborate woodwork. The grounds are fenced with brick walls and ornamental iron. A carriage house is located on the rear of the property.</p><br>
<p>In 1911, local businessman and cattle baron Winfield Scott purchased the house from the Whartons.</p><br>
<p>In 1940, the mansion was acquired by the Girls Service League of Fort Worth. The house was then empty from 1968 to 1975. A year later, in 1976, a preservation non-profit organization called Save-the-Scott purchased the house and restored it.</p><br>
<p>On January 1, 2006, Historic Fort Worth, Inc. took possession of the house and has devoted time and resources toward further restoration. The home continues to be rented for weddings and receptions.</p><br>

<p>The LaPointe-Krebs House, also known as the "Old Spanish Fort" and "Old French Fort," was built on the shore of Lake Catahoula  near what is now Pascagoula, Mississippi, on land granted to the French Canadian Joseph Simon dit La Pointe. Construction of the house is tentatively believed to have begun circa 1757 based on dendrochronology of structural timbers in the earliest portion of the structure, making it Mississippi&#39;s oldest extant historic building and the only French colonial-era structure in the state. It is the oldest scientifically confirmed standing structure on the Gulf Coast of the United States, although the Old Ursuline Convent in New Orleans is known to have been designed by Ignace François Broutin in 1745 and completed by 1753. The LaPointe-Krebs House was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1971 and was designated a Mississippi Landmark in 1984. The LaPointe-Krebs House is owned and operated by the LaPointe-Krebs Foundation as a museum.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The "Old Spanish Fort" was not really a fort. Instead, it was a one-story, three-room structure that measured 37 ft in width and 62.25 ft in length. Framing walls were 18 in thick. The building is constructed of longleaf pine framing, with walls of oyster-shell concrete in the oldest construction and with bousillage of clay and Spanish moss in the western and most recent addition. Dendrochronology has been used to date timbers from the center tabby room to 1757; samples from the east tabby addition date to 1762 and 1772. It is entirely possible that wood from an earlier structure or structures was recycled, possibly as late as the 1770s and in the wake of a hurricane that struck in 1772. While no samples could be determined in the western bousillage addition, construction techniques and tool marks date this addition to 1820.</p><br>
<p>Three sides of the structure were bounded by porches, supported by square wooden posts that were joined by a timber framing system. The gable roof was covered with wooden shingles. Two fireplace chimneys were composed of stucco-covered brick. The original structure had one large room with two smaller rooms. Flooring was oyster-shell concrete covered in 1820 with boards at a height of 18 in.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Between 1713 and 1717, Joseph Simon dit La Pointe, a native of Montreal, was granted land at the mouth of the Pascagoula River. He was one of several Canadians to come to Pascagoula from the area around Mobile Bay; two neighboring plantations were owned by Canadian families that had relocated from Dauphin Island. The land was first used to breed cattle. This commercial activity was followed by a plantation model focused on indigo and wax myrtle, with the former used to produce blue dye and the latter for candlemaking. La Pointe quickly became invested in the emerging institution of chattel slavery, enslaving Native Americans before purchasing African slaves.</p><br>
<p>La Pointe died in 1751, thereby allowing his daughter Marie-Josèphe and German son-in-law Hugo Ernestus Krebs to come into possession of the property. The property was maintained as a plantation during their ownership, and enslaved African labor was used to produce commodities such as rice and cotton. According to Anglo-Dutch traveler Bernard Romans, Krebs also created a roller cotton gin more than two decades before the invention of Eli Whitney&#39;s in 1793</p><br>
<p>The name Old Spanish Fort was derived during Spanish control of the Mississippi Territory in the late eighteenth century, when the structure served as a fortified home of Don Enrique Ginarest, an officer in the Spanish Army, who married the granddaughter of Hugo Krebs.</p><br>
<p>The structure was owned and occupied by descendants of Hugo Krebs until 1914. At present day, the LaPointe-Krebs House serve as a museum for the history of Pascagoula and Jackson County.</p><br>
<p>The Joseph Dessert Library  at 123 Main St. in Mosinee, Wisconsin was built in 1898 and expanded in 1928. It was designed by architect Alexander C. Eschweiler. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980. It is part of the Marathon County Public Library and a member of the Wisconsin Valley Library Service.</p><br>
<p>Joseph Dessert was a lumberman who came to the area from Quebec in 1844. He worked in a sawmill at Mosinee (then called Little Bull Falls) for a few years, then bought the mill with three partners in 1849. By 1859 he alone owned the mill, and he ran it for forty years. In the interest of his employees, he sponsored construction of this library, appointed the first board of trustees, stocked it with books, and paid for maintenance for several years. This library has been placed on the National Register of historic places by United States Department of Interior.</p><br>
<p>The Gen. Thomas Hart House near Winchester, Kentucky, in Clark County, was built by 1808. It was a work of a John Hill. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.</p><br>
<p>The house has a hipped roof and has Federal details including a fanlight. A Clark County historic resources study asserts that the house&#39;s "careful Flemish bond brickwork with gauged jackarches is unsurpassed in Clark County."</p><br>
<p>White Hall  is a house and former tavern located in Toano, Virginia. It was built in 1805 by William Geddy and is still owned and maintained by the original family. It is listed on the United States National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In 1805 William Geddy Sr. along with his son, William, built the structure that is now known as White Hall Tavern on an approximately 326 acre farm. The tavern is located at the intersection of Richmond Road and Old Stage Road in Toano, Virginia, about 15 miles outside of Williamsburg. (Southeastern Virginia Marker W-27). This location was perfect for the tavern, as it served as a rest station on the long journey to Richmond. The property ran between Ware Creek and the main road between Richmond and Williamsburg, and extended to the back of the property of Hickory Neck Episcopal Church.</p><br>
<p>While the father and son maintained a thriving gunsmith and brass foundry in Williamsburg, they were apparently avid farmers and enjoyed life outside of the hustle and bustle of the city.</p><br>
<p>There were several structures built in addition to the traditional home: a cooking facility and storage area (located just behind the home) and several farming structures were built. They also installed the trademark brick lined well to provide water to the property.</p><br>
<p>As of 2012, the original house is still standing along with the cooking and food storage building. Through the centuries, a variety of farming structures have come and gone, but there is still a main barn, a chicken coop, and a garage type structure. The house still contains approximately 95% of its original window glass, and other than installing proper bathrooms, the interior is also in original form. The original structure was built to closely resemble the pre-existing Geddy home located in Colonial Williamsburg. An addition was built years later to accommodate a kitchen (attached to the house) and living quarters for maids. Whereas the original kitchen was located in a separate building behind the original home, as kitchens began to be built as part of homes, the Geddys added their kitchen as a two-story addition to the existing three story main house.</p><br>
<p>This property was built as a home and business for his son and has continued in the family line for multiple generations. The current owner, Bertrand Edward Geddy, maintains the property and has kept the equine portion of the business going over the past few decades.</p><br>
<p>The main house contained a dining room, sitting room, and four bedrooms. It is thought that the family used the second floor of the house for their rooms, and the guest rooms were located on the third floor. There was a set of stairs that ran up the entire structure on the right hand side. There was a great hallway with a sitting room and dining room on the left. All of the rooms were large for that time.</p><br>
<p>Artifacts of all types have been retained and/or discovered on the property. Most of the metal work and the glass work are colonial. Some of the metal work may have been from the family foundry. Various pieces of furniture are still in the family. Bullets, dishes, dolls, and farming equipment have also been preserved. A cattle type barn was built (and is still maintained) and has provided great insight as to the methods used through the years on the property for farming and animal boarding.</p><br>
<p>It is worth noting that this structure survived all the major battles held in the local area during the American Civil War. While a nearby church sanctuary was completely destroyed, and several other structures, this house was left alone. Various hurricanes have passed through the area and yet the house still stands.</p><br>
<p>As the property has been passed down through the generations, the farm has been portioned off and sold. The Highway Department came through in the late 1950s and laid down a road, just about through the middle of the farm, which is now Rochambeau Drive. The property on the western side of Rochambeau Drive was sold to another local family, and has become a new home development that the farm lends its name to.</p><br>
<p>The house with a 42 acre parcel was listed on the National Register in 2007.</p><br>

<p>The Middlesex County Courthouse in Saluda, Virginia was built in 1852. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places  in 1978. The courthouse building "is a late but significant example of the arcaded-plan courthouse which had its precedent in Virginia&#39;s colonial courthouses and earliest civic buildings."</p><br>
<p>The NRHP listing included three contributing buildings: the courthouse, a clerk&#39;s office, and a jail. And it included one other contributing structure, which is a Confederate Civil War monument.</p><br>
<p>John P. Hill was builder of the courthouse building and was paid $1.010.95 out of a sheriff&#39;s levy of taxpayers to provide for that purpose. William R. Jones was builder of the jail.</p><br>
<p>The Middlesex County Courthouse in Urbanna, Virginia was built starting in 1745. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places  in 1976. It has also been known as Old Middlesex County Courthouse and as Middlesex County Woman&#39;s Club.</p><br>
<p>During the American Civil War, the building was used by Confederate troops and was shelled by Union gunboats, but was not much damaged. It has been used as a church. In 1948 it was deconsecrated and ownership was transferred to the Middlesex County Woman&#39;s Club. As of 1976 the building was used by that group as its headquarters and for community and private functions. It is located in the Urbanna Historic District.</p><br>
<p>The Bellows Residence is a historic house located at 1637 South Higgins Avenue in Missoula, Montana. It is both an unusual and well-preserved example of cast concrete residential construction in Missoula, and a representative example of Neoclassical architecture, popular during the early years of the 20th century.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Bellows Residence was built in 1909. The interior of the residence retains many of the historic design elements, although it was altered to some degree between 1992 and 1994 for use as a medical clinic. To meet code requirements, the first floor was rearranged. The stairway was moved, the hallway was widened, and the bathroom was remodeled. On the second floor, the ceiling height was increased, and the bathroom was re-configured. In addition, the basement was dug out to legal code ceiling height.</p><br>
<p>Throughout the renovation process, a concerted effort was made to preserve the historic character of the building. Original windows were repaired and retained, and the extant wood trim and fir floors were refurbished. Where missing, new members were milled to match the originals.</p><br>
<p>A wood-frame, stucco, flat roof garage with concrete foundation, built sometime after 1951, is located at the rear of the property.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1996.</p><br>
<p>The Silver City Water Works Building is a historic building located on Little Walnut Rd. in Silver City, New Mexico, United States. The building was constructed in 1887 to provide Silver City with a municipal water system. While the city had established an electrical system and telegraph connections, it lacked reliable drinking water and a fire prevention system, as an earlier attempt to build a water system was never completed. George H. Utter obtained a contract to supply water to Silver City in 1886, and he commissioned Michigan stonemason John Hill to build the water works. The sandstone water works is the only sandstone building from the 1800s in Silver City, as brick was a much more common building material. While the water system opened and initially operated successfully, by 1890 Utter was accused of supplying undrinkable water and failing to meet the city&#39;s expectations for service. East Coast investors Henry and Thomas Foster took over the water works in the ensuing years after an extended legal battle with Utter.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.</p><br>
<p>The John Hill–Keltomaki Ranch near Brownsville, South Dakota, United States, at the original Keltomake Ranch site, includes work from 1925. It includes buildings built by John Hill Jr. The site, with five contributing buildings and two contributing structures, on 4 acre, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.</p><br>
<p>The ranch site "is an excellent example of Finnish folk building traditions coexisting with American vernacular architecture. In</p><br>
<p>addition, the barn is an extremely fine example of Finnish-Scandinavian building techniques."</p><br>
<p>His father John Hill, Sr. immigrated from Lapua, Finland.</p><br>
<p>The Contrabands and Freedmen Cemetery at 1001 S. Washington St. in Alexandria, Virginia was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on August 15, 2012. It was established in February 1864 by the Union military commander of the Alexandria District for use as a cemetery for the burial of African Americans who had escaped slavery, known as contrabands and freedmen. During early Reconstruction, it was operated by the Freedmen&#39;s Bureau. It was closed in late 1868, after Congress ended most operations of the Bureau. The last recorded burial was made in January 1869.</p><br>
<p>The history of the site was rediscovered in the late 20th century, and archeological techniques were used to identify its boundaries and burials. The land was acquired by the city and the cemetery re-established as a memorial in 2014.</p><br>
<p>Initially the Union Army buried soldiers of the United States Colored Troops here as well. But African American troops in Alexandrias hospitals "demanded that blacks be given the honor of burial in the Soldiers Cemetery, now Alexandria National Cemetery." In January 1865, the soldiers&#39; remains were moved to the military cemetery.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>For African Americans who escaped enslavement, the Union military occupation of Alexandria during the American Civil War created opportunity on an unprecedented scale. They flooded into Union-controlled areas as Federal troops extended their occupation of the seceded states. Safely behind Union lines, the cities of Alexandria and Washington offered not only comparative freedom and protection from their former enslavers, but employment for refugees. Over the course of the war, Alexandria was transformed by the Union Army into a major supply depot and transport and hospital center, all under army control.</p><br>
<p>Because people who escaped slavery were still legally considered property of their owners, until the Emancipation Proclamation (January 1, 1863) freed them, they were classified as "contraband property" by the Union Army so that they would not have to return these people to bondage under supporters of the Confederacy. Without this designation, the Union soldiers and officers would be in violation of the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850.</p><br>
<p>African American men and women took positions with the USA Army as construction workers, nurses and hospital stewards, longshoremen, painters, wood cutters, teamsters, laundresses, cooks, gravediggers, personal servants, and ultimately as soldiers and sailors. They were also hired as domestic day laborers by other citizens. According to one statistic, the population of Alexandria had exploded to 18,000 by the fall of 1863 – an increase of 10,000 people in 16 months.</p><br>
<p>When the Fifteenth Amendment was ratified in 1870, Alexandria County&#39;s African American population was more than 8,700, or about half the total number of residents. This newly enfranchised constituency was instrumental to the election of the first black Alexandrians to the City Council and the Virginia Legislature.</p><br>
<p>Once in Alexandria, many people arrived in ill health and malnourished after walking long distances from other counties in Virginia. They were housed in barracks and whatever housing they could build for themselves. In such close quarters, with poor sanitation, smallpox and typhoid outbreaks were prevalent and death was common, as it was in most military encampments. More than half of those buried in the cemetery were African American children under age five.</p><br>
<p>In February 1864, after hundreds had died, the commander of the Alexandria military district, General John P. Slough, confiscated a parcel of undeveloped land at the corner of South Washington and Church streets from a pro-Confederate owner to be used as a cemetery specifically for burial of African Americans. Burials started in March that year.</p><br>
<p>The cemetery operated under General Sloughs command. Its oversight was supervised by Alexandrias civilian Superintendent of Contrabands, the Rev. Albert Gladwin, who made arrangements for burials. Each grave was identified with a whitewashed, wooden grave marker. In 1868, after Congress ended most functions of the Freedmens Bureau, the federal government stopped managing the cemetery and returned the property to its original owners. Their descendants conveyed the undeveloped land to the Catholic Diocese of Richmond in 1917. A Washington Post newspaper article in 1892 stated the wooden grave markers had decayed and people had unofficially continued using the site for burials. The "Book of Records" maintained first by the Office of the Superintendent of Contrabands, and later by the Freedmens Bureau, documents the names of 1,711 people buried at the cemetery between 1864 and 1869.</p><br>
<h2>Rediscovery of the Cemetery</h2><br>
<p>The Cemetery disappeared from city maps after 1946 and in 1955, a gas station and, later, an office building were built on the site. Beginning in 1987, when the history of the cemetery was rediscovered, it began to receive more attention. Archeological surveys in relation to construction of the Woodrow Wilson Bridge included use of ground penetrating radar (GPR) to determine the presence of graves. Some excavations also took place in order to locate surviving interments.</p><br>
<p>In 1997 the Friends of Freedmen Cemetery was organized to raise public awareness of the cemetery and support for its preservation. The City of Alexandria began the process of acquiring land and saving the cemetery to create a memorial park.</p><br>
<p>In 2008, the city received submissions from 20 countries in a design competition for the memorial, and a design for by C.J. Howard of Alexandria was selected. The cemetery memorial opened in September 2014 and includes a sculpture, The Path of Thorns and Roses by Mario Chiodo, at the center of the park. The names of people buried at the site that were recorded in the "Book of Records" are etched into bronze plaques.</p><br>
<p>As Contrabands and Freedmen Cemetery, the cemetery was listed on the USA National Register of Historic Places in August 2012. It was added in 2015 to the National Park Service&#39;s National Underground Railroad Network to Freedom, a series of designated sites related to the history of slaves escaping bondage.</p><br>
<h2>Historical markers</h2><br>
<p>A historical marker erected in 2000 by the Virginia Department of Historic Resources reads:</p><br>
<p>Federal authorities established a cemetery here for newly freed African Americans during the Civil War. In January 1864, the military governor of Alexandria confiscated for use as a burying ground an abandoned pasture from a family with Confederate sympathies. About 1,700 people, including infants and black Union soldiers, were interred here before the last recorded burial in January 1869. Most of the deceased had resided in what is known as Old Town and in nearby rural settlements. Despite mid-twentieth-century construction projects, many burials remain undisturbed. A list of those interred here has also survived.</p><br>
<p>The is posted at the Memorial, together with the historic note:</p><br>
<p>Besides the school in the barracks there are others in the city, which are self sustaining, containing one hundred and fifty pupils. It is an astonishing fact, which ought to be placed upon record... that out of the two thousand people collected at Alexandria, there are four hundred children sent daily to school. The first demand of these fugitives when they come into the place is, that their children may go to school.</p><br>
<p>The Geyserville Union School on Main St. in Geyserville, California was built in 1921. It was a work of Henry C. Smith. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Geyserville Union School stemmed out of Geyserville High School, which in 1881, taught students in a shed on Geyserville Avenue. Students were then moved to the Union School. Middle and high schoolers moved to newer schools in the area by 1972, leaving only elementary school attendees at Union. The school mascot was the mustang horse.</p><br>
<p>The Burns Union School at the SW corner of Ohio and Main Sts. in Burns, Kansas was built in 1904. It was a work of C.W. Squires and J.J. Clayton. In 1965, it closed as a result of statewide school district consolidation. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.</p><br>
<p>The building now houses the Burns Community Museum and includes a restored period classroom. It is open by appointment.</p><br>
<p>The Douglas Union School at 130 Center St. in Douglas, Michigan was built in 1866. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1995. It currently serves as the Old School House History Center.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In 1843, the state of Michigan adopted a law authorizing separate school districts located within a township which contained a city or village to merge into a "union" district. In the mid-1860s, Districts 3 and 4 of Saugatuck Township, Michigan merged into a union district. In 1866, the resulting Union School District purchased this site, and constructed the school during the 1866–67 school year. The school opened for classes in September 1867, with two teachers and 129 students. Although the number of grades taught at the time was not recorded, the school served as many as twelve grades in later years, and only dropped to eight or nine in the 1920s when district students were sent to the Saugatuck High School.</p><br>
<p>The Union School was used by students in the district until 1957, when it was closed. The district sold the school in 1960, and the building was converted into four apartments in 1962. In 2007, the Saugatuck Douglas History Center acquired the building and substantially renovated it, turning it into the Old School House History Center.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Douglas Union School is a two-story, side-gable, wood-frame building covered with clapboards. A square-plan, hip-roof belfry is located at the midpoint of the roof ridge. The front facade is symmetrical, with five bays. The central bay contains the main entrance on the first floor, paired square-head, non-over-nine windows on the second floor, and a subsidiary gable above in the center of the roofline. The remaining bays each have a single square-head, non-over-nine window on each floor. The entrance contains double doors flanked by pilasters and surmounted by a pediment and frieze below a projecting cornice.</p><br>
<p>The interior likely originally held two classrooms on the first floor and a hall on the second floor. At some point, the second floor space was converted into two additional classrooms similar to those on the first floor. The renovation into four apartments retained the original classroom separation, and the renovation into the History Center maintained the basic layout.</p><br>
<p>The First Union School is a historic Rosenwald school building for African-American children located at 1522 Old Mill Rd. in Crozier, Virginia. It was built in 1926, as a two-teacher school. It is a one-story frame school on a concrete foundation. It has an engaged porch and hipped roof. The listing included two contributing buildings. The school operated until December 1958, when the county integrated its public schools. It was converted to residential use in 1985.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2009.</p><br>
<p>The Second Union School is a historic Rosenwald school building for African-American children located near Fife, in western Goochland County, Virginia. It was built in 1918, as a two-teacher school, near Second Union Baptist Church, which had been founded in 1865 as an independent black congregation.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Located on the east side of Hadensville Fife Road (Va. Route 606), the school is a one-story, two-room, weather-boarded building with a hipped slate roof. It is set on its original foundation of 18 concrete piers. Built in 1918 according to plans developed by the Tuskegee Institute, it was designed as a two-teacher school. Movable dividers were used to define the interior spaces. It was located near Second Union Baptist Church, an independent black congregation that had organized in 1865 after the Civil War.</p><br>
<p>This is one of four schools built in the area for rural black children, under a matching program sponsored by philanthropist Julius Rosenwald from Chicago. A total of ten were constructed in the county. The school operated with black teachers and students until 1959, when the public schools in the county were integrated.</p><br>
<p>At that time, the county school board sold the building to Second Union Church, which used it for their Sunday school and Bible school classes.</p><br>
<p>This is the oldest Rosenwald school in the county that survives nearly unchanged and on its original site. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2006. Second Union Church, the county, and Goochland County Historical Society committed to restoring the building for use as a museum of black history in the county, with an emphasis on education.</p><br>
<p>In 2007 the state approved a commemorative highway marker for the school. In 2009 the school received a grant from the National Trust for Historic Preservation to aid in needed repairs and renovation for continued use, part of a two-year round of grants to preserve Rosenwald schools.</p><br>
<p>In 2016, the Virginia Association of Museums recognized the former school as a museum. Second Union (Rosenwald) School Museum and the Goochland County public schools work together by incorporating the museum&#39;s history in the Standards of Learning (SOLs). The museum is open to the public.</p><br>
