<p>The McLemore House is a property in Franklin, Tennessee that was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999. It has been part of an African-American neighborhood since the 1880s.</p><br>
<p>It is also known as the Harvey McLemore House. McLemore, born into slavery, became successful after gaining freedom after the war and purchased land and had the house built on it. The freedman had become a successful farmer. This has also been known as the House and Estate of Maggie Matthews. (She was a daughter of Harvey McLemore and his wife, who inherited and lived in the house after her parents.)</p><br>
<p>The house was built in Hard Bargain, a 15-acre area owned by attorney William S. McLemore, who subdivided it after 1873 for residences. Most of the early residents of this area were African-American freedmen and their families, and they created a community that has survived.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The house dates from 1880 and it includes elements of Colonial Revival architecture. Harvey McLemore (b. c.1835-1903) and his descendants owned the house from 1880 to 1997, for five (or seven) generations.</p><br>
<p>In 1859 Harvey McLemore was sold as "a slave for life" to attorney William S. McLemore of Franklin, who was serving as the county clerk. He later was elected as a judge. Harvey had previously been held by William&#39;s mother, Bethenia J. McLemore.</p><br>
<p>Several years later, after the Civil War and passage of constitutional amendments abolishing slavery and establishing the right to vote, Harvey McLemore became a freedman and gained the franchise.</p><br>
<p>After becoming a criminal judge, William S. McLemore bought 15 acres of land in 1873, with plans to subdivide it for residences. One account is that he named it Hard Bargain because of the negotiating he had to go through to make the deal.</p><br>
<p>In 1880, Harvey McLemore purchased four lots from Judge McLemore. He built his house as one of the first in the subdivision. Harvey McLemore was the third African American to purchase property in Hard Bargain. He and other freedmen formed a new African-American community that has survived into the 21st century.</p><br>
<h2>Today</h2><br>
<p>The house was purchased in 1997 by Habitat for Humanity and xxxxx. In 1998 the house was under renovation for use as a museum. This process revealed much of the architectural history of the house.</p><br>

<p>The State Farm Downtown Building, variously known as the State Farm Insurance Building or the State Farm Fire Building, is an Art Deco building in downtown Bloomington, Illinois. It served as the corporate headquarters for State Farm Insurance from its construction until 1974.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The first eight-floor section of the building (the south portion) was constructed in 1929. In 1934, an additional four floors and a penthouse were added. Five years later, State Farm acquired the property directly to the north of the lot the Downtown Building was constructed on. That property originally held the Odd Fellows lodge and, after acquisition, State Farm demolished the propertys original structure. From 1939 to 1940 the company constructed the eight-floor south portion of the Downtown Building complex. In 1945, another five stories were added to the original eight floors of the north addition. With construction finished, the complex served as State Farms corporate headquarters until 1974.</p><br>
<p>State Farm moved the last of its employees from the building in January 2018, and in April 2018 announced its intention to permanently leave the 200,000 square foot building. Having failed to find a buyer, in July 2019 State Farm announced that it would be demolishing the building.</p><br>
<p>In October 2019, whether because residents expressed concern about the potential loss of the art deco building or the cost of demolishing was more than donating, State Farm transferred its former downtown headquarters for less than $100 to a developer who expressed plans for a $40 million renovation.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The State Farm Downtown Building was designed by Archie Schaeffer and Phillip Hooton. The 162 ft building is an example of Art Deco architecture, though the decorative nature of the building is atypical among examples of the style. The steel-framed building has facades clad in light brown brick and features curtain walls that hang from the frame. The second story belt course features stonework including stone light fixtures.</p><br>
<p>The companys founder, George Mecherle, moved into an office on the Downtown Buildings eighth floor in 1940.</p><br>
<h2>Historic significance</h2><br>
<p>The building is listed as a contributing property to the National Register of Historic Places listed Bloomington Central Business District, a historic district encompassing much of downtown Bloomington, Illinois.</p><br>
<p>The Cañon City Municipal Building was built in 1927. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<p>It is a two-story brick Moderne-style building with an H-shaped plan, designed by architect Eugene Groves.</p><br>
<p>It is the current home of the Royal Gorge Regional Museum and History Center. It was originally built as a government building for the city of Cañon City, Colorado. A new City Hall building was built to allow more room for city offices and a larger city council meeting room leaving the vacated space available to an expansion of the museum and the relocation of the History Center from the Cañon City Public Library&#39;s basement to the Municipal Building. It was then decided to rename the building the Royal Gorge Regional Museum and History Center.</p><br>
<p>The building has three floors and includes a bomb shelter in its basement. A couple of historical structures are located directly south of the building, including the Rudd family homestead.</p><br>
<p>The H. G. W. Mayberry House, also known as Beechwood Hall, is a historic antebellum plantation house built in 1856 in Franklin, Tennessee.</p><br>
<h2>Plantation house</h2><br>
<p>Beechwood Hall was the manor house of one of the three largest plantations in Williamson, prior to the American Civil War. It had more than 1,000 acre in area, and had many enslaved people laboring on it. The mansion&#39;s original owners were Sophronia Hunter Mayberry and Henry George Washington Mayberry.</p><br>
<p>It includes Greek Revival and Italianate style architectural elements.</p><br>
<p>The other two contenders for Williamson County&#39;s largest plantation are those of the Samuel F. Glass House plantation, and the "Ravenswood" plantation (James H. Wilson House), both also NRHP-listed.</p><br>
<p>The house was owned at various times by country music singers Hank Williams Sr., Tim McGraw and Faith Hill.</p><br>
<p>The Owen Chapel Church of Christ is a property in Brentwood, Tennessee that was built c. 1860 and that was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986. It includes Greek Revival and "Vernacular Greek Revival" architecture.</p><br>
<p>As of 1988, it was one of only two brick churches in Williamson County that were built before the American Civil War and survived, besides churches in the city of Franklin. The other one outside of Franklin, the Harpeth Presbyterian Church, had been extensively altered and was not eligible for NRHP listing.</p><br>
<p>Churches of this era and architectural style commonly had two separate entrances, as Owen Chapel does, corresponding to a central division among the pews on the interior. This initially served the function of separating the congregation by gender, and in some churches the same features were later used to accomplish racial segregation.</p><br>
<p>The Henry Klumb House , also known as Cody Ranch, was a 1949 house in San Juan, Puerto Rico designed by German-born architect Henry Klumb in Modern Movement architecture. The Klumb House was listed on the USA National Register of Historic Places in 1997.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The property where Casa Klumb originally belonged to José Ramón Latimer and his wife Esther C. Cody, who lived there at the end of the 19th century. Eventually, Cody inherited the property and the house became known as the Cody Ranch.</p><br>
<p>In 1943, architect Henry Klumb, an apprentice of Frank Lloyd Wright, was invited by then-Governor of Puerto Rico Rexford Tugwell to serve as Director of the Design Committee of Public Works. As a result, Klumb moved to the island in 1944 with his wife, Else, and their two children, Peter and Richard. Klumb bought the Cody Ranch in 1947, and the remodeling began in 1949. Klumb and his wife lived in the house until their death in November 1984 as a result of a car accident.</p><br>
<p>After Klumb&#39;s death, the University of Puerto Rico acquired the house in 1986. In 1997, it was included in the National Register of Historic Places as a Regional Monument for its architectural relevance. However, with time, the house has been abandoned and is currently inaccessible and deteriorated. Several organizations have made efforts to restore it, and in 2014, the Comité Casa Klumb was founded. The World Monuments Fund added the house to its 2014 World Monuments Watch list, which helps in the process of gathering funds to restore monuments. According to Dr. Enrique Vivoni Farange, director of the Architectural and Construction Archives of the University of Puerto Rico, the costs of restoring the house ascend to $1.9 million.</p><br>
<p>The residence was destroyed in a fire that started at around 11:15PM (AST), on the night of November 10, 2020.</p><br>

<p>The Luther College Farm was built between the late 1860s and about 1900 on a hill overlooking Luther College near Decorah, Iowa, United States. The farm comprises a complete ensemble of agricultural buildings, dominated by the farm&#39;s barns.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The farm was established by Captain A.J. Ashmore, a member of a group of about 30 English immigrant families of Winneshiek County known as the English Colony, who had settled in the area between 1867 and 1885. Ashmore built the farmhouse and other buildings before selling the farm in 1874 to move to West Decorah. The farmhouse is one of the few surviving structures associated with the English Colony. The farm was purchased by Jacob Jewell, a farmer of Norwegian descent, who worked the farm with his son Frank, selling much of the farm&#39;s produce to Luther College. The college bought the farm in 1929.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The farm complex comprises the farmhouse, two barns, a corncrib, an icehouse, a slaughterhouse and several additional outbuildings. The barns are the dominant features of the farm. The larger barn was built in two sections on a limestone foundation, with two levels. The wood frame is laid out in ten bays, with a three-section lower level. The small barn adjoins the larger barn at a right angle and is about half as large as the first barn, with three bays. The lower level is fitted for horse stabling. A door in this level communicates with the large barn. The large barn has four small dormers in its pitched shingled roof on the southwest side. Wooden cupolas have been replaced with the present metal ventilators on the ridge. The smaller barn has a prominent gable on the southeast side with decorative cutouts.</p><br>
<p>The icehouse is a one-story limestone masonry structure with thick walls. It is sectioned into two spaces, arranged so that the interior space could be used for cold storage. The slaughterhouse is a one-story wood-frame structure on a concrete foundation. It features a fireplace that was arranged to receive wood from the exterior of the building. The corncrib is a wood-frame structure on a concrete block foundation, which replaced an earlier stone foundation. The walls are composed of horizontal planking, separated by gaps for ventilation. The brick farmhouse is irregularly arranged in a rough T-shape, with stories under a steeply-pitching roof with gables and dormers in a variety of configurations. It was remodeled in 1949 and converted to two apartments.</p><br>
<p>The Luther College Farm was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on July 17, 1979.</p><br>

<p>The Chapel Emmanuel Railroad Car was one of thirteen railroad cars used as chapels in the United States starting about 1890. Seven of the cars were built by the Barney and Smith Car Company of Dayton, Ohio and travelled from town to town, mainly in the sparsely populated western states and territories, under the direction of the American Baptist Publication Society.</p><br>
<p>In 1893 the Chapel Emmanuel car was the second car built for the Baptists and was the longest serving, being retired about 1938. In the 1950s it was sold to a salvage business, Brandt Engineering Co., in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, who stripped it of metal and used it for storage. By 1976 the car was given to Prairie Village, a museum near Madison, South Dakota, and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The car was being built during the financial panic of 1893. While Barney and Smith was able to build the earlier Baptist chapel car, the Evangel, at cost, it was now a public corporation and was struggling to stay solvent. The price quoted for the car did not include any of the interior necessities. Many items that went into the building of the Emmanuel were donations from corporations: brakes from Westinghouse Air Brake Company, various springs and wheels, along with flatware, blankets and a range for cooking. Still others were donated by the various Baptist organizations; the car&#39;s furnishings were a gift from the women of the First Baptist Churches of Oakland and San Francisco. The car, which was ten feet longer than the Evangel, was dedicated in Denver, Colorado, on May 24, 1893.</p><br>
<p>The Wheelers, who were the first missionaries aboard the Evangel were also the first to travel with Emmanuel. In 1895, the chapel car was sent into the shop for repainting and repairs, making it necessary for the Wheelers to vacate it while the work was done. While making their way home to Minnesota, the train they were aboard was involved in a wreck and Mr. Wheeler was killed. As a memorial to him, a stained glass window was created and mounted in the door leading to the living quarters section of the car.</p><br>
<p>The car traveled in the Western and Northwestern states and territories until 1938, where it sat on a spur in South Fork, Colorado. In 1942, a decision was reached to move the aging chapel car to a Baptist camp at Swan Lake, South Dakota, where it sat for thirteen years before being sold for scrap. The old car was then used for storage by an engineering company. While there, a carpenter for the Prairie Village park saw the car and realized its potential to be restored. The Emmanuel was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1976 and was fully restored by 1982. Its permanent home is at Prairie Village.</p><br>

<p>Champion Mill is a historic flour and feed mill in Champion, in the southwestern part of the state of Nebraska, in the Midwestern United States. Built in 1888 and rebuilt in 1892 after a fire, the mill was used commercially until 1968. It is now a museum and park run by Chase County preserving the state&#39;s last working water-powered mill. The mill, headrace, and dam were added to the National Register of Historic Places as a historic district in 1988.</p><br>
<h2>Commercial mill</h2><br>
<p>The town of Hamilton, later renamed Champion, was created as part of the inrush of settlers to the area in 1886. The location of the town was chosen because a natural three-foot (one meter) rock waterfall on the Frenchman Creek was deemed a prime site for a mill. Thomas Scott acquired land and water rights in exchange for his promise to build a mill on the site. An earthen dam and a mill were built and production of flour and animal feed began in 1889. The mill was rebuilt after a December 1891 fire and was back in operation a year later. The mill was expanded over the years, switching exclusively to feed in 1945. The site was used commercially by successive owners until it closed in 1968.</p><br>
<h2>Park</h2><br>
<p>The mill complex was purchased by the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission in 1969. The mill became the Champion Mill State Historical Park and State Recreation Area; recreation had long been a part of the historical use of the mill pond and adjacent picnic and camping area. The mill building became a museum.</p><br>
<p>The mill complex was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1988 for being a well-preserved and long-running example of mills common to the late-19th/early-20th centuries, and because its mill pond was a significant recreational destination in southwestern Nebraska. The historic district comprises the 1887 dam, headrace, and the three-story frame mill whose oldest sections was built in 1892.</p><br>
<p>In 2013 ownership of Champion Mill State Historical Park (SHP) and the adjacent 11 acre State Recreation Area (SRA) were transferred from the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission to Chase County. The site includes the lake created by the impoundment of Frenchman Creek.</p><br>

<p>George Frederick Tyler (1883–1947) was a Philadelphia banker and sportsman. Following his mothers early death, his father, Sidney Frederick Tyler, in 1888 married Ida Amelia Elkins, a daughter of streetcar magnate William Lukens Elkins. Seventeen year later, George married his stepmothers niece, Stella Elkins (1884–1963), a budding sculptor who later studied under Boris Blai. The young couple raised three children in a mansion built for them on the Elkins estate in Elkins Park, Pennsylvania. They donated that mansion to Temple University, and it housed the Stella Elkins Tyler School of Art from 1935 to 2008.</p><br>
<p>Just after World War I, the Tylers bought a Bucks County farm on the west bank of the Neshaminy Creek. They decided to build a country house on the east bank, and by a decade later had assembled a property of nearly 2,000 acre, about 3 square miles. The resulting estate was named for one of its landmarks, "Indian Council Rock," a cliff overlooking the creek, that was reputed to have been a meeting place for the Lenni Lenape tribe. The 60-room main house was designed by architect Charles Willing in 1928, and built, 1930–1931. Constructed of brownstone and 300 feet in length, it is the largest residence ever built in Bucks County.</p><br>
<p>Mrs. Tyler bequeathed the main house and 200 acre of the estate to Temple University in 1963. This was sold to Bucks County in 1965 to create the campus of Bucks County Community College.</p><br>
<p>Now known as "Tyler Hall," the mansion &ndash; still surrounded by formal gardens, stone walls and fountains &ndash; houses the college&#39;s administrative offices. It, along with the twin bath houses, a stone building known as "The Orangery," and two contributing sites, comprise a historic district that was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.</p><br>

<p>Coker Spring is a fresh water spring located on Coker Spring Road in Aiken, South Carolina. This spring is formed by a "junction" where the water table intersects the ground surface and according to archaeological remains, has been used since prehistoric times. Coker Springs was listed in the National Register of Historic Places on January 18, 1978.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Dating back to prehistoric times, Coker Springs served as a water source for Native Americans, Aiken&#39;s early settlers, and British troops during the Revolutionary War.</p><br>
<p>This historic site was part of an original land grant to Ephraim Franklin in 1787, but the spring was named for the original owner of the adjacent land. Over the years the land changed hands many times, but the spring gained prominence as a regular stop on the stagecoach route from Abbeville to Charleston.</p><br>
<p>Eventually William Perroneau Finley (1803-1876) purchased the land in 1842 and deeded it to Aiken in 1844, with the stipulation that the city grant, "free use of said Spring to be had and enjoyed by the citizens and inhabitants of Aiken and the public generally for themselves, their servants, cattle and horses, forever."</p><br>
<p>Used as a gathering place for servants to do the laundry, it also served as the primary watering source for the Town of Aiken until a central waterworks was established in 1892.</p><br>
<p>The spring was first covered with a spring house that was constructed in the early 1800s and a "Greek-style brick-and-stucco facade" was added in the 1850s. Throughout the years the springs fell into disrepair, but was completely restored in 1972.</p><br>
