<p>The Hollywood Theater is a historic theater building in Minneapolis which is listed on the USA National Register of Historic Places. It is located in the Audubon Park neighborhood of Minneapolis.</p><br>
<p>The Art Deco theater building opened on October 26, 1935, and the marquee proclaimed it the "Incomparable Showcase of the Northwest". The theater, designed by architects Jack Liebenberg and Seeman Kaplan, had a generous budget that allowed for elaborate decoration in the Streamline Deco style of design; its facade and structure made a "powerful statement of geometric mass punctuated by the entrance, exits, and three small windows that served the projection booth." Liebenberg and Kaplan went on to design the Riverview Theatre in Minneapolis and the Terrace Theatre in Robbinsdale. Much of the interior features are influenced by the Zig-Zag Moderne and Streamline Moderne styles. The exterior is built of smooth Kasota limestone with vertical lines that transition to horizontal.</p><br>
<p>Although the theater was praised as "the Twin Cities&#39; most beautiful and modern neighborhood theatre" it was not financially successful. It went through a series of ownership changes until it closed in 1987.</p><br>
<p>The theater was designated as a local landmark by the Minneapolis Heritage Preservation Commission in 1990. It was unable to compete with video stores and multiplexes. Despite the historic designation, a number of development proposals for the property have fizzled since its closing. A 1989 proposal hinted at converting the theater into fourteen apartments, and another proposal in 1989 included converting the building to a photograph and film production studio. The Minneapolis Community Development Agency bought the theater in 1993. In 1998, they considered proposals for reuse, such as a full restoration, a partial rehabilitation such as the lobby area, or completely demolishing the theater. At the time, concerns included deterioration of the brick walls and water in the basement. In 2009, the city bought an adjacent property and cleared it to provide extra space for parking or related development. In 2015, the property was sold to Minneapolis real estate developer and entrepreneur Andrew Volna with plans to renovate it into an event venue while retaining the building&#39;s historic character. Renovation of the theater was completed in early 2023 and reopened shortly afterwards.</p><br>
<p>The Hollywood Theater was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on February 5, 2014. It was considered notable for its Streamline Moderne design by prominent theater architects Liebenberg & Kaplan and its association with the growth of locally owned, streetcar-accessible neighborhood cinemas during the Great Depression.</p><br>
<p>The Moses Coates Jr. Farm, also known as Meadow Brook Farm, is an historic, American home and farm complex that is located in Schuylkill Township, Chester County, Pennsylvania.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.</p><br>
<h2>History and architectural features</h2><br>
<p>This historic house is a -story, ell-shaped, stuccoed, stone structure with a gable roof. The oldest section dates to circa 1754, as a two-story, six-bay, two-room-over-two-room house that was designed in the Georgian style. Sometime around 1800, a three-bay section was added. Further expansion was then made in 1896 with the house renovated in 1933 for use as a clubhouse, at which time the property was converted to a nine-hole golf course. Also located on the property are a contributing bank barn, a carriage house, and two spring houses.</p><br>
<p>During the American Revolution the house served as officer&#39;s quarters for American officers in late-1777 and early-1778, in conjunction with the encampment at Valley Forge.</p><br>
<p>This property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.</p><br>
<p>Moore Hall, also known as the William Moore House, is an historic, American home that is located in Schuylkill Township, Chester County, Pennsylvania.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.</p><br>
<h2>History and arhitectural features</h2><br>
<p>This house dates back to roughly 1722, and is a -story, five-bay by three-bay, fieldstone dwelling that was designed in the Georgian style. It has a gable roof, a two-story rear kitchen wing, and a sun porch, and was restored during the late-1930s.</p><br>
<p>During the American Revolution, this house served as headquarters for Colonel Clement Biddle, in late-1777 and early-1778, during the encampment at Valley Forge. At that time, a committee of congress met at Moore Hall for three months and there decided that General George Washington should serve as Commander-in-Chief of the Continental Army.</p><br>
<p>At the turn of the twentieth century, the house served as the summer home for Pennsylvania Governor Samuel W. Pennypacker.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.</p><br>
<p>The Squire Cheyney Farm is an historic, American farm and national historic district that is located in Thornbury Township, Chester County, Pennsylvania.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2010.</p><br>
<h2>History and architectural features</h2><br>
<p>This district encompasses two contributing buildings, three contributing sites, one contributing structure, and contributing object. They are the farmhouse, a barn (c. 1804, c. 1820, c. 1875, 1881, and c. 1910), the ruins of a granary, the remains of an ice house, a spring house (1799), a stone retaining wall, and a family cemetery (established c. 1803).</p><br>
<p>The house was built in four periods, with the oldest dating to circa 1797. The oldest section is a -story, three-bay, stuccoed stone structure with a gable roof. The additions were built, 1830 and 1850, making it a seven-bay-wide dwelling. It is L-shaped and has a slate gable roof.</p><br>
<p>During the American Revolution, Thomas "Squire" Cheyney informed General George Washington during the Battle of Brandywine that the British were flanking him to the north. Cheyney was later appointed to the Pennsylvania Ratifying Convention to ratify the United States Constitution.</p><br>
<p>The original two level rubble-stone bank barn was built by Squire Cheyney and his son William about 1804 in the English Lake District Barn style (Dornbusch Type E Barn). The stone on this portion of the barn is identical to that on the oldest portion of the existing farmhouse. The barn was enlarged by his son in 1820 to a Chester County Stone-Posted-Forebay Barn (Dornbusch Type J). A granary was subsequently added about 1850. About the same time a dormer was added to the forebay. The farm remained in the Cheney family until 1875 as a commercial dairy farm. In 1875 it was sold to the Thomas Dallett and continued as a commercial dairy farm. About this time the barn was extended to the west. Between 1875 and 1910 a frame outshed was added to the northwest portion of the barn. A stone silo was added in 1910. The granary was destroyed by fire about 1930. Of the granary and silo only the foundations remain. The farm remained in the Dallett family until its conversion to a public park and restoration of the farmhouse and barns for private use. The well house was built in the 1960s. The garage and east wing of the farmhouse were added as part of the 2014 renovation.</p><br>
<p>Squire Cheyney was born on the Cheyney farm in 1730, but not in the existing farmhouse. He was one of four brothers. The land that became Cheyney University of Pennsylvania was from the original 500 acre Cheyney farm, but was not part of Thomas Cheyney&#39;s 150 acres.</p><br>
<p>The Squire Thomas Cheyney Farm is not a national historic district; however, it is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The English Lake District Barn fieldstone core building with rare interior granary and shutters was built c. 1799–1803 by Squire Thomas Cheyney and his son William Farmer Cheyney. The house is composed of a core house and two additions. The -story three-bay fieldstone core house, with late 19th-century pebble dash stucco on the east gable end wall only, was built by Squire Cheyney c. 1756–1757 not 1797. The -story, two-bay fieldstone addition was built by Squire Cheyney c. 1758–1760 not 1815. The fieldstone springhouse was built c. 1756–57 not 1799. Later an interior springhouse was constructed in the basement of the 1760 addition.</p><br>
<h3>Present day</h3><br>
<p>This site was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2010, was privately owned as of 2018. Featured on the 2019 Chester County Day, it is adjacent to the Squire Cheyney Farm Park and the springhouse is located on public property.</p><br>
<p>The Cheyney family cemetery where Thomas Cheyney was buried lies within the park. A walking trail through the park offers views of the Southern exposure of the house and barn (including the forebay), as well as historical information on Thomas Cheyney and his role in the Revolutionary War.</p><br>

<p>The Hall of Transportation, Treasure Island, on Treasure Island, California, also known as Building 2, was built in 1938 for the 1939-40 Golden Gate International Exposition. It served as the hall of transportation for the exposition. It was constructed with the idea that it would serve as an airplane hangar after the Exposition but it never did. It was designed in Moderne style by architects William Peyton Day and George William Kelham. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2008.</p><br>
<p>The California Quadrangle, California Building, and California Tower are historic structures located in Balboa Park in San Diego, California. They were built for the 1915&ndash;16 Panama–California Exposition and served as the grand entry to the event. The buildings and courtyard were designed by architect Bertram Goodhue. They were added to the National Register of Historic Places on May 17, 1974. They now house the Museum of Us.</p><br>
<p>The Quadrangle includes the California Building and Tower on the north side, and Evernham Hall and the St. Francis Chapel on the south side. Between them is an open space linked by arcaded passageways and massive arched gateways to form the Plaza de California. The original Balboa Park Administration Building (now the Gill Administration Building) lies just outside the Quadrangle, adjacent to and west of the California Building. Unlike most of the exhibits at the event, the Quadrangle buildings were intended to be permanent.</p><br>
<p>The Plaza de California is the main entryway to Balboa Park, approached over the Cabrillo Bridge. That entry is currently a two-lane road providing vehicle access to the park. The city approved plans to divert vehicle traffic away from the Plaza de California and restore it as a pedestrian-only promenade, hoping to complete the project in time to celebrate the 2015 centennial of the exposition. However, the plan was challenged in court and was overturned by a judge on February 4, 2013, on the grounds that the city had not followed its own Municipal Code requirements in approving it.</p><br>
<h2>California Building and Tower</h2><br>
<p>The California Building with its ornate facade and blue-and-gold dome, together with the adjoining California Tower, are among the most recognizable landmarks in San Diego. They house the Museum of Us. The design and ornamentation combine many style elements including Gothic, Plateresque, Baroque, Churrigueresque, and Rococo to create the impression of a Spanish Colonial church. The multi-tiered frontispiece is adorned with sculptures by the Piccirilli Brothers, a family of Italian marble carvers who also worked on famous monuments such as the Lincoln Memorial and the New York Public Library. Four of the six Piccirilli brothers are credited with doing work for the California Quadrangle. Attilio (1866-1945), the head of the studio, and Furio (1868-1949) modeled the historical figures and busts on the frontispiece of the California Building. Furio also produced the spandrel figures above the West Gate; a female representing the Pacific Ocean and a male representing the Atlantic Ocean were joined by the opening of the Panama Canal. Orazio (1872-1954) and Masaniello (called “Tom,” 1870-1951) executed the ornamental work and Churrigueresque frames on the building.</p><br>
<p>The dome&#39;s design looked to the dome at the Church of Santa Prisca and San Sebastián in Taxco, Mexico. The great central dome is encircled with the inscription "Terram Frumenti Hordei, ac Vinarum, in qua Ficus et Malogranata et Oliveta Nascuntur, Terram Olei ac Mellis", (A land of wheat, and barley, and vines, and fig-trees, and pomegranates; a land of oil olive, and honey), (Deuteronomy 8:8 taken from the Vulgate of St. Jerome; see also the Seven Species), as well as the California motto, "Eureka".</p><br>
<p>The building&#39;s facade features stone ornamentation as well as many historical figures and busts sculpted from modeling clay and plaster, depicting prominent people from California, England, Mexico, and Spain. These include Junípero Serra, Philip III of Spain, Sebastián Vizcaíno, George Vancouver, Luís Jayme, Carlos III of Spain, Juan Rodríguez Cabrillo, Gaspar de Portolà, and Antonio de la Ascención. The facade also features the shield of the United States and the coats of arms of California and Mexico.</p><br>
<p>The California Tower is 198 ft tall and is open for public tours as of January 1, 2015. The towers design is Spanish while the details and color are Mexican in style. The tower is composed of three tiers that shift from a quadrangle to an octagon and then a circle. There is a Maas-Rowe carillon in the tower, first installed in 1946 and replaced in 1967. The carillon can be heard throughout the park. It plays the Westminster Chimes every quarter-hour, and a resident carillonneur plays three songs at noon every day. The tower has been described as "San Diegos Icon," the most photographed and best-known landmark in San Diego.</p><br>
<p>The State of California paid the $250,000 to develop the California Building and Tower for the 1915 Exposition. Although California owned the building, it was turned over to the San Diego government in 1926. During the Exposition the California Building was the home of the expo&#39;s theme exhibit, an anthropological display called "The Story of Man through the Ages." After the expo ended, the exhibit was retained and expanded, eventually becoming the Museum of Us.</p><br>
<h2>Fine Arts Building</h2><br>
<p>On the south side of the Quadrangle is the fair&#39;s original Fine Arts Building (not to be confused with the Fine Arts Gallery, which opened in 1926 and is now The San Diego Museum of Art). The building is now used by the Museum of Us. It houses a banquet hall called Evernham Hall, and is also used for temporary exhibits.</p><br>
<h2>St. Francis Chapel</h2><br>
<p>The St. Francis Chapel is a small chapel in Mission style, built to add a religious note to the expo. The interior design is simple except for an elaborately decorated and gilded Spanish-style altar. To the right of the carved statue of Our Lady and Child is an effigy representing Didacus of Alcalá, name-saint of the city, and to commemorate the early Jesuit missions in Arizona on the left is an unknown Jesuit saint.</p><br>
<h2>Administration Building</h2><br>
<p>Just outside the California Quadrangle, on the west, is the first building visitors encounter as they cross the Cabrillo Bridge and enter El Prado Complex. This is the Administration Building. It was constructed in Balboa Park as the Panama–California Exposition Administration Building, completed in 1911 and designed by Irving Gill. Gill designed the building in his high style. This style is sometimes called Mission style, but that is an incorrect label as it bears very little resemblance to the California Missions. After Gill left the exposition project, the design was augmented with the Bertram Goodhue style of Spanish Colonial ornamentation in an attempt to match the architectural theme of the rest of the exposition. The building contained numerous large offices and an auditorium. It served as the planning and administrative headquarters for the 1915-16 Exposition, as well as a place for international receptions. During World War II it was used as a military hospital. For many years after that the building was vacant, and the city proposed to tear it down in 1978, but it was eventually restored in the 1990s (sans ornamentation) and turned over to the Museum of Us. Today it is known as the Gill Administration Building and houses the administrative offices of the Museum of Us. It is the only building still in Balboa park that bears Gill&#39;s signature style.</p><br>

<p>The Christian and Sarah Knudsen House, at 123 S. Center St. in Lehi, Utah, was built in 1909. It is a substantial house whose architecture includes Late Victorian and Classical Revival elements. It is significant as a well-preserved artifact from the boom period in Lehi&#39;s development.</p><br>
<p>The house was built by/for Christian Knudsen, a successful stockman who was prominent in his industry and also known in the town for his philanthropy and for his service in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. While Knudsen and others made money from cattle, other wealth in Lehi derived from the Utah Sugar Company Factory based there; both industries benefited from the railroad which had first connected Lehi in 1872—the same year that Christian Knudsen, 15 years old, arrived with his family from Norway. The wealth and connection to the rest of the nation brought awareness of architectural styles, and many elaborate homes were built.</p><br>
<p>Knudsen married Sarah L. Otteson, of Spanish Fork in 1879 and they had 10 children. His Mormon church service included doing a mission that took him to Norway in 1896, and serving as head teacher in the Sunday school. According to the National Register nomination, the house was intended to stand until the Millennium. The Knudsens donated significantly to help build the Stake houses (Mormon administration offices) in Alpine, Lehi, and Provo.</p><br>
<p>The house is also of interest for serving, under the Knudsens, as a "halfway house for Scandinavian travelers on their way to and from Salt Lake City."</p><br>
<p>Much later, during World War II, the house served as a relocation center for four "Japanese" families. (Note that the Topaz War Relocation Center, one of 10 Japanese-American internment camps was located in rural area only about 110 miles away.) It was renovated into three apartments to help address Lehi&#39;s wartime housing shortage. Lehi was the location near to Camp Williams, the Geneva Steel Plant, and industry in the Salt Lake Valley.</p><br>
<p>The building was converted back to a single family house in 1964 and a restoration of the house began in 1985.</p><br>
<p>The restored home was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.</p><br>
<p>Cressbrook Farm, also known as the Former Quarters of Brigadier General Duportail, is a historic home located in Tredyffrin Township, Chester County, Pennsylvania.

<h2>Historical significance</h2><br>
<p>The homes of David Havard and two of his brothers were used as lodging and headquarters by officers serving under George Washington, during the encampment of Washington&#39;s army at Valley Forge from December 1777 through June 1778.</p><br>
<p>Upon the arrival of the Continental Army at Valley Forge, the David Havard House served as quarters for Colonel William Bradford and Colonel Elias Boudinot, who were brothers-in-law. Bradford&#39;s older brother Thomas, a captain, arrived in January 1778, and their father, Colonel William Bradford Sr., joined them in April 1778.</p><br>
<p>General Charles Lee, who had been held prisoner by the British in New York, first arrived in Valley Forge in April 1778, after Boudinot negotiated an exchange of prisoners. He took up residence in the David Havard House on May 21, 1778, and shortly afterward, the Bradfords moved elsewhere.</p><br>
<h2>Chesterbrook Farm</h2><br>
<p>Several generations of the Havard family occupied the house until it was purchased in 1881 by Alexander Cassatt, president of the Pennsylvania Railroad, who turned the surrounding farmland into a 600-acre hunting preserve called Chesterbrook Farm, known for its racing stables.</p><br>
<p>The house, which still stands on Bradford Road in Chesterbrook, Pennsylvania, remains in use as the clubhouse for the Picket Post Swim and Tennis Club.</p><br>

<p>Southdown Plantation is a historic Southern plantation in Terrebonne Parish, Louisiana.</p><br>
<h2>Founding and early history</h2><br>
<p>Southdown Plantation was founded in 1828 by William John Minor, son of Stephen "Don Esteban" Minor, former secretary to the Spanish Governor of Louisiana, Manuel Gayoso de Lemos and James Dinsmore. The land had first been a Spanish land grant and was later owned by brothers Jim and Rezin Bowie, who began planting and harvesting indigo there. Minor purchased the land, approximately 1,020 acres, together with James Dinsmore. In 1831, sugarcane became the principal crop, and the first sugar mill was built in 1830-31. Dinsmore sold his half of the plantation to Van Winder in 1842 & Winder was bought out by William John Minor. By 1852, Southdown was home to 233 slaves, most of whom lived in family units on the property.</p><br>
<p>The second plantation house was built by Mr. Minor in 1858, and was named for a breed of sheep that the family raised. The house was built of hand-fired brick and wood from local cypress and pine trees.</p><br>
<p>The original one-story brick home was expanded in 1893, after William&#39;s death by his son, Henry Chotard Minor, when a second story and Virginia-style colonnaded walkways were added. In the same year, Favrile glass panels depicting the plantation, palmetto leaves, magnolia branches, and sugar cane stalks were installed in the house. The plantation consisted of over 10,000 acres of sugar cane fields, a sugar mill, and a race track. Through Southdown Plantation, the Minors were instrumental in introducing and sustaining the sugar industry in the area, and ensuring the survival of the crop by developing a variety of sugar cane that was resistant to mosaic disease.</p><br>
<p>The Minor family was known for frequently entertaining guests and hosting many extravagant balls and receptions.</p><br>
<h2>Modern era</h2><br>
<p>During the Great Depression in the 1930s, the Minor family lost ownership of the house. It was acquired by Realty Operators, which later renamed itself Southdown Sugar Inc. In 1979, the Southdown sugar mill was closed. Its parts were shipped to and reassembled in Guatemala, where it continued operation. It was the last of the 86 sugar mills that had operated in Terrebonne Parish during the sugar boom of the 19th century.</p><br>
<p>In 1974, the plantation was added to the National Register of Historic Places. The following year, the owner Southdown Land, a subsidiary of Southdown Sugar, donated the property to the Terrebonne Historical and Cultural Society. While the plantation house was being renovated, the original 1893 pink and green paint scheme of the exterior walls was discovered and restored. On June 27, 1982, the plantation house and servants&#39; quarters were opened to the public as a museum.</p><br>
<p>The Neils Peter Larsen House, at 1146 N 100 E Pleasant Grove, Utah, was built in 1870. It is a soft rock house built to replace use of a dugout. Neils Peter Larsen had homesteaded a farm in 1862. The dugout and house served one of Larsen&#39;s three polygamous wives and a family; the other two wives and one family lived about a mile away.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.</p><br>
<p>The Prospect Park Water Tower, sometimes referred to as the Witchs Hat Water Tower, is a historic water tower in the Prospect Park neighborhood of Minneapolis, Minnesota, United States. It was built in 1913 on Tower Hill Park, a hilltop park established in 1906. The water tower has become the neighborhoods architectural mascot for its singular design by Frederick William Cappelen. The tower is rumored to be the inspiration for Bob Dylans song "All Along the Watchtower," as the tower was clearly visible from Dylans home in nearby Dinkytown.</p><br>
<p>The park and water tower were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1997 for having local significance in the themes of architecture, community planning and development, and engineering. It was nominated for its associations with city planning, urban infrastructure, architectural eclecticism, and the work of architect Frederick William Cappelen. In 2015 they were also listed as contributing properties to the Prospect Park Residential Historic District.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Erected in 1913 on Tower Hill, one of the highest points in Minneapolis, the tower was built to increase water pressure in the area and thereby enhance firefighting efforts. The functional structure, however, was given a whimsical appearance by city engineer Frederick William Cappelen. To the delight of generations of Minnesotans to come, he topped the building with a fanciful brimmed "hat" of green ceramic tile, and hence its nickname was born.</p><br>
<p>Tower Hill and the Prospect Park neighborhood have enjoyed a love affair of sorts over the years. From the beginning, the tower and surrounding parkland attracted neighbors, young and old, who picnicked under shade trees in summer and sledded down the hills icy slopes in winter. The towers observation deck provided views of the Minneapolis and St. Paul skylines, and the building itself inspired many artists who captured its one-of-a-kind profile in charcoal and watercolor. More than once over the years it has also galvanized neighborhood pride and determination on its own behalf.</p><br>
<p>The Prospect Park Water Tower ceased to function as a water tower in 1952, but it remained an esteemed neighborhood symbol. In 1955 when the city announced plans to demolish the tower following a lightning strike, the community mobilized. "Spurred on by eleven members of the Prospect Park Blue Birds (a junior organization of the Campfire Girls)," neighbors fought city hall and saved their tower.</p><br>
<p>Since the late 20th century, the observation deck is open only one day a year, which is celebrated with an ice-cream social.</p><br>
<p>The observation deck was last opened for a Doors Open Days in Minneapolis in 2019. During the event, a step on the internal staircase broke which has resulted in the observation deck not reopening as of 2023. A study commissioned by the city of Minneapolis estimated the costs it would take to reopen the building from $50,000 to $1.3 million depending on the scope of repairs and rehabilitation.</p><br>
<p>The Lehi City Hall at 51 N. Center St. in Lehi, Utah, known also as Old Lehi City Hall, was built during 1918–1926. It was designed by architects Walter E. Ware and Alberto O. Treganza of Salt Lake City and is of Mission/Spanish Revival style.</p><br>
<p>It was built as a memorial building honoring World War I veterans; it was planned to serve as city hall, as a museum, and also as a library; it cost approximately $55,000 to build. It is believed to be the only large building designed by Ware and Treganza that uses the Mission/Spanish Revival style.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
<h2>World War II</h2><br>
<p>During World War II the upstairs of the memorial building was used as a look out for incoming planes near Geneva Steel. Because of the great amounts of steel the plant produced for the war, many feared that the Japanese would target the plant and the cities around it. The memorial had a direct view of the plant and was one of the tallest buildings in the area at the time.</p><br>
<h2>Museum</h2><br>
<p>In 1995 the Hutchings Museum moved into the building occupying the Veterans Memorial. The Memorial now resides in the main hall of the Museum featuring artifacts from World War I, World War II, the Korean War, Vietnam War, and Desert Storm. The Hall also includes a list of the men and women from Lehi Utah who served in the wars.</p><br>
<p>The Delhi Bridge, also known as the East Delhi Bridge, is a one-lane, wrought iron Pratt through truss bridge that carries East Delhi Road over the Huron River in Scio Township, Michigan. The bridge was completed on October 12, 1883 to replace a wooden span built in 1851. In 1917, the bridge was severely damaged by a tornado but was rebuilt. After it was closed to traffic in 2005 for being unsafe, the bridge was renovated and reopened in 2009. The bridge is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<h3>Early history</h3><br>
<p>The Delhi Bridge was built by the Wrought Iron Bridge Company of Canton, Ohio. Construction was completed on October 12, 1883, replacing a wooden bridge built in 1851. The steel members were manufactured by the Trenton Iron Company and the bridge was assembled with pins instead of rivets; pin technology was discontinued after 1910. The bridge was built in Delhi Mills, a mill town founded in 1831 which declined significantly in the early twentieth century.</p><br>
<p>On June 6, 1917, a tornado swept through the town causing significant damage to the bridge, lifting it off its abutments and leaving it collapsed in a twisted heap in the river. However, the abutments were undamaged. Local tradition states that Edward Outwater and Eli Gallup salvaged the bridge from the river using a team of horses. The bridge was rebuilt in 1918 using a significant number of its original trusses, as evidenced by damage apparently due to the tornado. The bridge&#39;s portal sign was reused, though the portal webbing had to be replaced. During reconstruction of the bridge, the abutments were also rebuilt.</p><br>
<p>At some point prior to renovation, the northern abutment was covered or replaced with concrete, whereas the southern abutment was fieldstone and likely original. The Delhi Metropark, created in the 1950s, has contributed to the bridge&#39;s popularity as a tourist attraction.</p><br>
<h3>2005 to present</h3><br>
<p>Since the tornado, the bridge has undergone few modifications apart from regular maintenance. In June 2005, an annual inspection identified that the bridge had deteriorated almost to the point of failure. In response, the Washtenaw County Road Commission closed the bridge to vehicular traffic.</p><br>
<p>In 2006, the road commission began discussing options for replacing the bridge with a two-lane concrete structure. However, residents successfully convinced the road commission otherwise as they wished to see the historic bridge rehabilitated. The East Delhi Bridge Conservancy was formed to help preserve the bridge. After conducting research, the conservancy determined that the current bridge was the same one that existed prior to the tornado. This made the rehabilitation project eligible for Local Bridge Program (LBP) funds. The Delhi Bridge was the first one-lane bridge in Michigan to receive LBP funds for rehabilitation.</p><br>
<p>Rehabilitation began in July 2008 with restoration work, including the installation of new guardrails and traffic lights. In August 2008, cranes lifted the bridge off its abutments and set it on northeastern side of the river. The bridge was repaired and painted and both abutments were replaced. The bridge previously had a dark red, rusted color, and the new color was intended to be similar, so its industrial orange shade surprised some members of the conservancy. In July 2009, the bridge was lifted off the ground and returned to its abutments, an event attended by about fifty spectators. The bridge was reopened to vehicular traffic in August 2009. A dedication ceremony was held on September 13, 2009; in lieu of a proper ribbon, yellow caution tape was used. State Representative Pam Byrnes was one of the speakers at the ceremony. Rehabilitation cost $1.2 million, with about $180,000 in additional fees. The LBP covered 95% of the $1.2 million, with the remainder spread among local groups. A twenty-year tax was enacted to cover future maintenance costs.</p><br>
<p>In July 2011, the bridge was vandalized with spray-painted graffiti.</p><br>
<h2>Historic designations</h2><br>
<p>In 2005, the Michigan State Historic Preservation Office determined that the bridge met Criterion C (for design or construction significance) for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places. It is one of few wrought iron Pratt through trusses in Michigan surviving from the late nineteenth century. It is also one of only five such bridges built by the Wrought Iron Bridge Company in Michigan to survive, and one of only two at their original, historic locations. In June 2007, Washtenaw County created a local historic district encompassing the bridge. On September 4, 2008, the bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>Design</h2><br>
<p>The bridge carries the northern end of East Delhi Road over the Huron River. The single-span, one-lane bridge has a Pratt through truss design and is made of wrought iron. Traffic lights at each end of the one-lane bridge regulate crossings.</p><br>
<p>Rye House is a historic summer estate property at 122-132 Old Mount Tom Road in Litchfield, Connecticut. Developed in 1910 for a wealthy New York City widow, it is a prominent local example of Tudor Revival architecture, and a major example of the trend of country estate development in the region. The property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Rye House is located in Litchfields Bantam borough, at the northwest corner of Old Mount Tom Road and Old Forge Hollow Road.

To the west of the house is a formally landscaped garden area, and a lawn extends south toward Old Mount Tom Road, where the property is fringed by trees.</p><br>
<p>The estate was developed on what was previously farmland by Isabella Douglass Curtis, the widow of a wealthy New York City banker who died in 1895. She named the property in memory of her previous estate in Rye, New York. The house was designed by architect Wilson Eyre, and was completed in 1910; the gardener&#39;s cottage was designed by Wilder and White and was built the following year. The property was prominently marketed by Eyre as a showcase, appearing in a writeup in American Architect in 1911, and meeting most of the conditions laid out in his 1908 article "The Planning of Country Houses". Curtis lived here year-round with her son until the 1930s, when financial reverses forced her to sell it.</p><br>
<p>Recent owners have included actress and model Karen Kopins Shaw, who was Miss Connecticut 1977, and Anderson Cooper and his partner, Benjamin Maisani, who were reported to have bought it in 2014.</p><br>

<p>The bridge is at least the fourth to stand in this general area, which has been on the route of a road between Norwich and Plainfield since colonial days. Earlier wood-frame bridges and wrought iron lenticular truss bridges were probably located further downstream, but their sites have not been located. The bridge this one replaced in 1936-37 was located just upstream; traces of its abutments survive. This bridge was completed in 1937 by the Fort Pitt Bridge Works company using designs by the Connecticut State Highway Department. It was built as part of the Highway Department&#39;s emergency relief program after major flooding in 1936.</p><br>

<p>John Palmer moved to this area and built this house in 1790. Palmer was an influential member of the church in nearby Scotland, where he played a major role in the establishment of a Separatist congregation during the First Great Awakening of the 1740s, and successfully petitioned the state in the 1770s for relief from taxation for the support of the Congregationalist church. Palmer&#39;s church declined and was disbanded after his death. His house is notable for its relatively conservative (essentially retardaire to the mid-18th century) construction methods, and for its well-documented rehabilitation in the 20th century.</p><br>
<p>The William Park House is a historic house at 330 Main St. in Sprague, Connecticut. Built in 1913, it is a prominent local example of an American Foursquare house with Craftsman/Bungalow features. It was built for William Park, owner of the Angus Park Woolen Company, a major local employer. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2007.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>

It is a -story wood-frame structure, roughly rectangular in shape, with a wraparound porch and porte cochere. It is covered by a hip roof, obscured somewhat by large dormers that have broad bands of windows with either gabled or gable-on-hip rooflines. The walls are finished in stucco and half-timbering. Most windows are sash, with a multilight top sash and a single-pane lower sash, a distinctive Prairie School touch. The interior retains high quality woodwork and carved plasterwork, including staircase balustrades and builtin cabinetry.</p><br>
<p>The house was built in 1913 by Peck McWilliams, a master builder who may also have been responsible for its design. The American Foursquare, particularly with clear Prairie School features, is not commonly found in Connecticut, and this is a particularly high quality example of the form. It was built for William Park, the son of Angus Park, founder of the Angus Park Woolen Company. The elder Park had founded the business in 1899, buying an old textile mill and upgrading its infrastructure. Under William Park and his son (also named Angus), that business would surviving until 1970.</p><br>

The plant was completed in 1914 and workers flooded into the area, many of them Polish. By 1920, the population of Hamtramck had boomed to 48,000, an increase of over 13 times in ten years. The increase in population meant an increase in housing and commercial space, and in 1922 Hamtramck incorporated as a city.</p><br>
<p>Most of the stores along the main shopping street, Joseph Campau, opened in the 1920s. The surrounding neighborhoods were densely packed single-family homes, and this section of street quickly became the second busiest shopping district in southeast Michigan, after only downtown Detroit.</p><br>

<p>Hotel Manning is a historic hotel located in Keosauqua, Van Buren County, Iowa, United States, on the banks of the Des Moines River. The hotel&#39;s Steamboat Gothic architecture mimics riverboats of the mid-1800s. Hotel Manning was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in April, 1973.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Hotel Manning was constructed in the late 1890s by Edwin Manning. He was one of the founding fathers of Keosauqua, first arriving there in 1837 and later helping plat the town. Manning established a mercantile store in 1839, then expanded his business enterprise by adding a bank to the location in 1854. However two devastating fires in the mid-1890s forced Manning to move his business elsewhere in town. Urged by one of his sons, Manning salvaged the remaining post-fire walls and foundation for the basis of his hotel, adding a second and third story to the structure between 1897 and 1899.</p><br>
<p>A grand-opening celebration for the Hotel Manning was held on April 27, 1899, with over 300 guests in attendance, and an orchestra.</p><br>
<p>Over the years the hotel&#39;s location next to the Des Moines River proved to be both a blessing and a curse, as the river flooded the Manning on at least four occasions; the most significant of these was in 1901 when the hotel was inundated by seven feet of water. The year 1901 proved a double tragedy with the death of Edwin Manning. The Manning family continued to operate the hotel for another two decades until hard times in the rural farm economy in the mid-1920s forced the Manning bank into receivership and Hotel Manning sold with its other assets.</p><br>
<p>In the 1940s local restaurateur Mable Miller purchased the hotel and operated it for the next forty-plus years. Under Millers ownership Hotel Manning was operated largely as a boarding house. During the 1960s she expanded the business by adding a single-level annex. When Van Buren Countys economy became more tourism-based beginning in the 1970s, Miller secured the Hotel Manning a place on the National Register of Historic Places and also received a Federal grant to undertake a major restoration.</p><br>
<p>On April 2, 2018, the Hotel Manning Preservation Group, LLC, a group of 70 community investors, purchased the Hotel.</p><br>
<h2>Hotel Manning today</h2><br>
<p>The Manning today operates as a bed & breakfast with most business coming from tourism, hunters, and sport fishermen. It has been restored to appear much as it did at the turn of the 20th century with the lobby and guest rooms filled with period antiques. Sixteen rooms, eight with private bath, are available in the Manning along with a three-bedroom suite. Seasonally, a Sunday buffet is open to the public. The nearby Standard Motel, the 1960s-era addition, and a further two-story addition constructed in 1993 known as the Riverview Inn, offer nineteen additional rooms. They are not period-specific like the Manning, featuring modern conveniences like cable television, high speed internet, and microwaves. In recent years other businesses have also operated out of the Hotel Manning complex, including a tanning salon and travel agency.</p><br>
