<p>Garrison Hill Tower is a 76 ft observatory atop Garrison Hill in Dover, New Hampshire, United States. The current tower, made of iron and painted green, was built in 1993 and is the third tower to exist on the hill. The park in which it stands is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>Setting</h2><br>
<p>Garrison Hill Park is located north of downtown Dover, on the east side of New Hampshire Route 9. It is a glacial drumlin that is roughly circular in shape, with a summit elevation of 298 ft. The park occupies about 8.5 acre around the summit, and is accessed via Abbie Sawyer Memorial Drive. The road leads to a parking area at the summit, providing access to the observation tower, a town-owned concrete water storage tank, and radio transmission towers.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In 1880, the top of Garrison Hill was purchased by Joseph Ham and Harrison Haley, who developed it as a public park. Haley purchased—for $1,000—a 65 ft wooden observatory designed by architect B. D. Stewart and opened it to the public. The observatory contained a restaurant in the base, and offered a telescope through which the public could view Mount Washington. The city acquired the property in 1888 and continued to operate it as a public park. The city also built a reservoir (since filled in) on the site.</p><br>
<p>After the wooden observatory burned down in 1911, Abbey Sawyer commissioned a replacement, made of steel, to honor her husband. She also funded the construction of a new roadway (the present Abbey Sawyer Memorial Drive) to the summit, replacing the 1880 carriage road (now a footpath). The tower, erected in 1913, was taken down in 1990 due to safety concerns, and a third tower (the one now standing) was built by volunteers. On a clear day, one can view the White Mountains and the Isles of Shoals from atop the tower.</p><br>
<p>In 2023, local welder and snowboarder Lane Knaack was commissioned by the City of Dover to build three terrain park features for the Public "Snow Park."</p><br>
<p>The Public Market, also referred to as the Morrill Block, is a historic commercial building at 93-95 Washington Street in Dover, New Hampshire. Built about 1846, it is one of the few surviving Greek Revival commercial buildings in the city, best known for its long association with the local Morrill Furniture Company. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Public Market building is located at the western end of a series of commercial buildings in the heart of downtown Dover, extending along the north side of Washington Street from its junction with Central Avenue. It is a -story brick structure, topped by a gabled roof with end chimneys. Its main facade is four bays wide, with windows on the upper floors set in rectangular openings with stone lintels and sills. The cornice projects slightly, and is decorated by dentil brickwork. The ground floor has a commercial storefront that has been updated several times since the building&#39;s construction, largely obscuring the granite piers and lintels that frame it and the entrance to the upper floors. The storefront presently has plate glass display windows flanking a recessed entrance, and is sheltered by a modern awning.</p><br>
<p>The building dates to the mid-1840s, and was originally part of a more unified row of similar brick Greek Revival commercial buildings (in contrast to the stone buildings now to its east). It is one of the few commercial buildings in Dover to survive from the period. The building was apparently built by Stephen Toppan, a local master joiner who also owned it 1846-55. It was for many years the home of E. Morrill Furniture Company, a staple of the Dover downtown. Morrill&#39;s moved out of the building in the 1920s, at which time the upper floors were converted to apartments, and the present commercial front was installed on the ground floor. Tenants during the 20th century included a sweets shop, an Army-Navy store, and a meat market (called Public Market). It is presently occupied by an insurance agency.</p><br>

<p>The Hilgen and Wittenberg Woolen Mill is a textile mill in Cedarburg, Wisconsin. Built in 1864, the mill was one of many wool- and flax-processing factories that opened during the American Civil War, due to a shortage of cotton textiles formerly supplied by southern states. The mill produced yarns, blankets, and flannels, and was the largest woolen mill west of Philadelphia in the 19th century. The mill closed in 1968 and has since become a commercial complex called the "Cedar Creek Settlement," containing restaurants and stores.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The outbreak of the American Civil War led to supply shortages of cotton in the North. In 1864, Frederick Hilgen, Dietrich Wittenberg, and Joseph Trottman planned to capitalize on the textile shortage by building a hydropowered factory to process wool. Completed in 1865 at a cost of $30,000, the mill complex initially consisted of two limestone buildings outfitted with state of the art equipment coupled to turbines powered by Cedar Creek. The mill was one of many textile factories that opened in Wisconsin to process wool and flax. To put things in perspective, Wisconsin had 15 woolen mills in 1859, producing a few hundred thousand pounds of textiles. By 1871, the state had 54 mills, producing more than 1.5 million pounds of textiles.</p><br>
<p>While completed too late to capitalize on the Civil War the mill found success filling demand for fabric and yarn in the wake of the destruction of industry and infrastructure in many southern states. The mill incorporated as the Cedarburg Woolen Company in 1872, with Dietrich Wittenberg serving as president. The owners constructed additional buildings, including offices, a shipping department, a coachhouse, bleaching and dying facilities, warehouses on both sides of the creek, and a factory store. In 1880, the company expanded production to a second factory in Grafton, Wisconsin, specializing in production of worsted yarn. By 1893, the Cedarburg complex had grown from two buildings to twelve and spanned several city blocks. The owners even built a tunnel under Bridge Road to link the factory basement to the bleaching and dying facilities.</p><br>
<p>In response to a dam washout in 1881 The new facility included two steam-powered fire pumps; an 85-horsepower engine to power the factory&#39;s machines; and a 45-horsepower engine with an electric generator, which provided the complex and the neighboring Wittenberg mansion with the first electric light in the City of Cedarburg.</p><br>
<p>The last major mill expansion occurred in 1907 when a third floor was added to the factory building. The mill began its decline during the Great Depression, when demand waned and the mill was idled. In 1933, the mill&#39;s dam washed out for a second time. Construction of a new dam, designed by local engineer Charles Whitney, began in 1938 and was completed in 1939 as a Public Works Administration project for the City of Cedarburg. Its unclear whether the new dam ever provided the mill with hydropower, but its millpond became a popular swimming area, even featuring an artificial beach on the bank opposite the mill. During World War II, the mill temporarily increased production to provide woolen blankets for the war effort but continued to decline after the war. In 1945, the mill stopped its mechanical weaving operations altogether but continued hand weaving of specialty products. The swimming area suffered from poor water quality, leading the city to permanently close the beach in 1949 and construct a public pool in 1959.</p><br>
<p>In 1968, the mill declared bankruptcy and shut down. The Wittenberg family accepted an offer from a developer who planned to demolish the complex and construct a gas station. However, mayor Stephen Fisher was able to delay the demolition and find a different buyer to preserve the buildings. In January 1972, Jim Pape bought the complex for his winery business.</p><br>
<p>In 1978, the mill buildings were added to the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>Currently, the mill complex is referred to as Cedar Creek Settlement and houses a restaurant in the former boiler house and specialty stores throughout the other buildings. The former swimming beach is now Boy Scout Park.</p><br>
<p>The Island City was a schooner that sank in Lake Michigan off the coasts of Mequon, Wisconsin and Port Washington, Wisconsin, United States. On November 10, 2011, the shipwreck site was added to the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Island City was built by Peter Perry in Sans Souci, Michigan in 1859. For most of her service, the vessel carried produce and other merchandise to and from Detroit, Michigan and various other ports on Lake Saint Clair. She later hauled lumber across other portions of Lake Michigan and sank in a storm while en route from Ludington, Michigan to Milwaukee, Wisconsin. She lies southeast of Port Washington in 135 to 140 ft of water.</p><br>
<p>The William F. Jahn Farmstead is located in Mequon, Wisconsin, United States. The farmstead includes a farmhouse, two barns, a summer kitchen, and two outbuildings. While the farmstead is not longer used for agriculture, portions have been converted to facilitate bed and breakfast lodging.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Jahn was a German immigrant, arriving with his family at Mequon from Saxony in 1844 at the age of 12. He became a surveyor, Superintendent of Schools for the city, a farmer, and a prominent local politician. The farm was a successful diversified operation, by 1880 it had grown to 100 acres with dairy cows, pigs, and chickens, and grew wheat, corn, and oats.</p><br>
<p>The farmstead is significant as a relatively intact and well-preserved example of a Greek Revival farmhouse in Mequon. The property was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2000.</p><br>
<p>Forother places of the same nameStony Hill School </p><br>
<p>The Stony Hill School is a one-room school where on June 14, 1885, the teacher and his students held the first observance of "Flag Birth Day." For this, the site was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The 19-year-old teacher at the school, Bernard J. Cigrand, had a profound love for the flag of the United States. Cigrand began specially honoring the flag on June 14, 1885, at the school, the anniversary of the flags adoption. In 1916, inspired by Cigrands actions, President Woodrow Wilson proclaimed June 14 to be Flag Day, though the day was not officially established by an Act of Congress until 1949, and Cigrand became known as the "Father of Flag Day". Coincidentally, the school ceased operations in 1916. In 1947, the National Fraternal Congress moved for the school to be restored and by 1952 the restorations were complete.</p><br>
<p>The school was built some time before 1880, a small one-room school with walls of fieldstone rubble, and with a hip-roofed porch across the front. The windows have board shutters.</p><br>
<p>The school is now a museum and is a site of annual Flag Day celebrations.</p><br>
<p>The Mayberry Mound and Village Site are a valuable archaeological site in the southeastern portion of the USA state of Illinois. Located near the village of Sims in southern Wayne County, the site comprises what was once a substantial village during the Archaic period, and it has been designated a historic site because of its archaeological importance.</p><br>
<h2>Surroundings</h2><br>
<p>Mayberry occupies part of the southern side of a low ridgeline known as the Fleming Ridge, a short distance north of a stream known as the Skillet Fork. It lies about 2,000 ft away from the nearest public right-of-way, a small unpaved north-south road to the west. The site centers around a small hill, the "mound" that contributes to its name; it measures approximately 80 x north-south by east-west and is approximately 2 m high. Despite the presence of recently dug holes in the middle, the overall structure of the hill has been well preserved. Surrounding the "mound" is a region of soil that appears substantially darker than other parts of the same farm field when seen from the air.</p><br>
<h2>Investigations</h2><br>
<p>In 1974, archaeologists from Southern Illinois University Museum conducted a field survey at the Mayberry Site. Their survey recovered substantial numbers of artifacts from the "mound" and the surrounding area of darkened soil, including projectile points, bits of bones and shells, and quantities of charcoal. As a result of these findings, the site has been classified as a village from the Archaic period: the "mound" appears to be a simple midden approximately 1.5 m deep, and the surrounding soil seems to have been darkened by the presence of buried cultural materials left behind by the villagers. After the field survey was concluded, local residents reported the discovery of twelve skeletons that had been buried in the southeastern portion of the "mound" in such a way that they overlapped each other.</p><br>
<h2>Conclusions</h2><br>
<p>Post-survey analysis of the 1974 survey produced excitement among the analyzing archaeologists. Most important was the presence of an apparent village: they concluded that the area surrounding the mound could perhaps produce rich information about Archaic period villages if excavation prove it to be a village site. Moreover, the very size of the site made it significant: few Archaic sites in Illinois encompass an area as large as Mayberry, which covers approximately 90 acre, or more than 1/8 of a square mile. Thirdly, the survey showed that typical artifacts from the site had been preserved excellently, and the skeletons from the "mound" were in an equally good condition. Some damage has been done to the site — the recently dug holes in the middle of the "mound" were the work of pothunters, and the skeletons would not have been found if the surface had not been worn down. Nevertheless, the site as a whole remains mostly intact, and its value is compounded by the close proximity of burials, a deep midden, and a potential village site. As a result of its archaeological value, the site was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in late 1978. It is the only Wayne County location on the Register, aside from houses in the city of Fairfield to the northeast.</p><br>

<p>The Staacke Brothers Building is located in the Bexar County city of San Antonio in the USA state of Texas. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places listings in Bexar County, Texas. The structure was designated a Recorded Texas Historic Landmark in 1984.</p><br>
<h2>Staacke Brothers</h2><br>
<p>August F. Staacke (1825–1909) was an immigrant from Hanover, Germany, who developed a successful mercantile business in San Antonio. He carried Studebaker wagons, and imported commercial prairie schooner wagons that were built to withstand the rugged terrain of westward expansion. The carriage trade portion of his business was sold to his sons August, Rudolph and Herman, officially being known as the Staacke Brothers in 1889.</p><br>
<h2>Building</h2><br>
<p>Originally the site of a First Presbyterian Church, August F. Staacke bought the lot at 309 E. Commerce in 1869, and hired John H. Kampmann to erect a storehouse on the site. In 1894, James Reily Gordon designed a Renaissance Revival three-story red sandstone and pink granite building that included a basement. The original building was 300 feet by 269.90 feet.</p><br>
<p>In 1979 a local hospital bought both the Stevens and the Staacke Brothers buildings with the intent of razing the structures to convert the property to a hospital parking lot. The San Antonio Conservation Society stepped in to preserve architectural history and purchased both buildings. In 1982, a group of investors bought and restored the two structures, with a conditional agreement that only preserved the front of both buildings. The rears of the structures were razed for a parking lot. The Staacke building was reduced to its current 42 feet in width and 97.5 feet in depth. Each floor covers an area of 4,000 ft&sup2;.</p><br>
<p>Loux Covered Bridge is a historic wooden covered bridge located on Wismer Road crossing Cabin Run  upstream from the Cabin Run Covered Bridge in Bedminster Township and Plumstead Township, Bucks County, Pennsylvania.

<p>Krug Activity Center, previously the Kyle City Hall is located in Kyle, Texas.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The city hall was built in 1912 on a parcel of land in a section designated for a public square in the original plan of Kyle. In addition to government and civic purposes the facility served the community other ways such as acting as the high school auditorium until 1937. When the Baptist church in town burned down the congregation was allowed to use the building for services on Sundays. A Methodist church later needed a facility and the two congregations used the building on a rotating basis.</p><br>
<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on May 22, 2002. It ceased serving as the city hall in 2007 and since then has been an activity center for seniors and the community. In 2017 it was renamed in honor of a long serving local law enforcement officer and city official John P. Krug and to reflect its current usage. In addition to his career in public service Krug had lived across the street from the property for decades and he took personal interest in the old city hall.</p><br>

<h2>Restoration</h2><br>
<p>Over time the original Georgia Pearl Gray marble panels began to fail due to weather and bowing. In 2010, the panels were removed and replaced with new panels. The historic structure was unable to bear the weight of the stone, so 1/4-inch thick Georgia Pearl Gray marble, from the original quarry was bonded to an aluminum honeycomb backing and used to replace the original panels.</p><br>
<p>The panels are consistent with the USA secretary of the Interior&#39;s standards for rehabilitation of historic properties and the building retains its National Register listing. The work received the Historic Preservation Alliance of Arkansas award.</p><br>
