<p>Bank of Chester County  is a historic two-story bank building located in West Chester, Chester County, Pennsylvania, the first bank to be chartered in the county. Following the failure to renew the charter of the Bank of the United States in 1811, states received responsibility over the banking systems within their jurisdiction. Although an initial proposal was rejected by the state legislature in 1813, a 41-bank proposal was passed the following year. An early bank building was utilized in West Chester beginning in 1814 at the Record Office, though the bank was relocated in 1818 to a building across the street, present-day 13 High Street. Following a proposal for a new site in 1835, a bank, to be built at 17 High Street, designed by architect Thomas Ustick Walter . It was built in 1836 in the Greek Revival style at the cost of $33,000, and features a portico with four Doric order columns; the bank was subsequently altered in 1874, 1905, and 1928. The previous building has since been rented to numerous individuals, although it still houses outdated equipment no longer used by the bank. The current building is occupied by Wells Fargo.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972, located in the West Chester Downtown Historic District.</p><br>
<h2>Background</h2><br>
<p>After Congress had been unwilling to renew the charter of the First Bank of the United States in 1811, control over banking procedures which would otherwise have been performed by the Bank of the United States was granted to the states instead. In 1813, legislation was proposed by the Pennsylvania state legislature to allow the construction of 25 banks in the state; however, then-governor Simon Snyder rejected the proposal. In 1814, such a proposal was made once more for the establishment of 41 banks, but was vetoed yet again; however, the legislature overturned the veto with overwhelming support. The stock for a bank in Chester County was granted, numbering 9,000 shares at a cost of $50 each. Initially, the bank assigned subscriptions to thirteen commissioners, although it decreased the number of individuals to be given stock to eleven in 1897. Regular subscriptions to the shares were eventually established to the general population as well following the confirmation of the commissioners. The bank&#39;s early directors and cashiers included local dignitaries such as Joseph McClellan, Richard Thomas, William Darlington, David Townsend, Washington Townsend, William W. Jefferis, J. Smith Futhey, and Robert Cornwell.</p><br>
<p>The Bank of Chester County, the first to be built in the county, was then conceived in 1814, located in the Record Office at the intersection of High and Gay Streets in West Chester, Pennsylvania. Until 1857, the Bank of Chester County was the only one in the county.</p><br>
<p>On October 25, 1864, the bank was reorganized as the National Bank of Chester County to comply with federal laws, and was named as such until 1930, when the bank was re-designated as the National Bank of Chester County and Trust Company. the building is now owned and operated by Wells Fargo.</p><br>
<h2>Design</h2><br>
<p>The building was designed in the Greek Revival style, conceived with dimensions of 45 ft by 90 ft. The foundation is covered with high-quality stone, with marble of lesser quality laid on the water table. The walls, which were built with marble, were overlaid with bricks; the western portico, which was lowered in 1928, includes four Doric columns. Although chimneys are still in place on the bank, none of the original ones remain. The building only has a single door, by the front-west side. The north and south walls were rebuilt as a result of a renovation in 1928; two of the original windows on those walls, however, were maintained, although the original cornices were not preserved and replicas are currently in place. The roof is covered with copper.</p><br>
<p>The initial floor plan of the two-story bank indicated a smaller banking room than what was constructed. Two vaults, originally placed on either side of the entrance hall, were converted into offices, and two rooms by the back of the bank were dismantled entirely as well as the stairways leading to them. Although the interior was designed with a Greek style in mind with marble layered on the walls, renovations since then resulted in changes in the interior. In 1854, Carl Stromberg recolored the ceiling with shades of blue, with "leaves, fruit, and flowers" painted on the walls edges. The opposite walls featured murals with additional landscapes. Later, in 1863, a statue of William Darlington was erected for the bank by William Marshal Swayne. A renovation in 1928 was modified to an unknown extent with a "Greek influence and design". Six marble mantels and coal grates were requested for the heating systems of the building for the fireplaces in the building, located in the north and south areas of the banking room, in addition to one each in the presidents, cashier&#39;s, and two others in the removed rear rooms, though the building is currently powered by electricity. None of the original flooring, doors, nor hardware remains. In 1874, the interior experienced a complete redesign, with the addition of upgraded safes and additional vaults for $10,000. The building was renovated a total of three times – in 1874, 1905, and 1928.</p><br>

<p>The Chestnut Hill–Plateau Historic District is a historic area in the Highland Park neighborhood of Richmond, Virginia. It is also known as Highland Park Southern Tip on city neighborhood maps.</p><br>
<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places as a historic district in 2002 as an example of a streetcar suburb with a significant collection of early 20th century homes including Queen Anne Victorian properties and American Foursquare houses.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The land of the Chestnut Hill–Plateau historic district was once known as Mount Comforta farm owned by a Richmonder named Samuel DuVall in the 18th century. Prior to the Civil War, the land of what makes up Chestnut Hills was owned by Peter V. and Lucy Daniel. A successful Jewish baker named Adolph Dill owned what became The Plateauthe NE part of the district between Magnolia and Brookland Park Boulevard.</p><br>
<p>During the Civil War, a defensive battery for the NE approaches of the city of Richmond called Battery No. 7 was constructed around the center of the district, around the area of what is now Juniper, Willow and Spruce streets. Chickahominy Bluffs Battlefield is the nearest of the Civil War Battlefield Parks around Richmond.</p><br>
<p>In 1882, Richmond became the first city in the US with a revenue generating streetcar system. The streetcar line in Chestnut Hill was completed in 1893 and originally known as the Richmond-Henrico Railway Company, operated by the Richmond and Manchester Railway Company. The presence of readily available transportation opened up the possibility of developing the northern suburbs.</p><br>
<p>In 1889 the suburb was platted and in 1891 the 5th Street viaduct was built which connected the area with the main part of Richmond. The extension of 5th St. and the construction of the viaduct damaged and desecrated numerous graves in what is now known as the Shockoe Hill African Burying Ground. The Northside Land Improvement Company purchased the 135 acre Mount Comfort site in 1889. There were a few structures standing on the property at the time. Around the same time, the 150 acre Highland Park development was founded to the north of Chestnut Hill. The Northside Land Improvement Company dissolved and sold the land to the Northside Land Company for $150,000. The principals were J. M. Fourqurean, a dry-goods merchant and N.V. Randolph.</p><br>
<p>Some of the ornate Queen Anne Victorians built along the southern end of 4th Avenue were built by real estate speculators to entice buyers around the 1890s. Amenities, such as the church on 3rd Avenue, were also developed around this time. The Northside Baptist Church was organized at a town hall meeting in Chestnut Hill in 1907. Services were held in the town hall for about a year before a substantial Gothic Revival-style building was completed at the comer of Third Avenue and Victor Street, in the area known as the Plateau. Today it is the home of Fifth Street. Saint Elizabeth&#39;s Roman Catholic Church was established in 1923.</p><br>
<p>Many of the houses standing in the district take the form of the Foursquare house, with a simple two-story form and its Craftsman-style detailing. Many houses were constructed in small groups as speculative developments intended to be sold to lower middle-income home-buyers. These were constructed between 1910 and 1930. The form and the decorative details were based on magazines and designs from catalog homes such as the Sears homes.</p><br>
<p>The Plateau was originally a fruit-tree nursery owned by A. F. Mosby, who developed it in 1908. It served as a continuation of the Chestnut Hill street grid.</p><br>
<p>In 1942, almost all the residents of Highland Park signed a pledge not to be the first homeowner on the block to sell to a black buyer. The racial transformation did not happen until the mid-1960s, but when it did the process was sudden. Black homeowners replaced whites, until by 1970, about 70% of the properties had changed hands. By the late 1970s very few white residents were left. According to a 1978 news story, some real estate salesmen played on racial fears and persuaded some white owners to sell their homes at low prices. The real estate agents then sold-or rented them to black residents at a substantial profit.</p><br>
<p>Since the 1970s, Chestnut Hill–Plateau has suffered from problems familiar to other older inner city neighborhoods. Crime, declining population, and a deteriorating housing stock kept property values low and most houses from being maintained or restored. The neighborhood has been hit particularly hard by the decline in the US housing market since 2007.</p><br>
<p>Renovation groups such as ACORN are working to preserve Chestnut Hill–Plateau.</p><br>

<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Deep River Camelback Truss Bridge, identified as Truss Bridge #155</p><br>
<p>by the North Carolina Department of Transportation, spans the Deep River</p><br>
<p>on SR 2153 north of the community of Cumnock in northern Lee County,</p><br>
<p>providing access between Cumnock and the Gulf community in southern</p><br>
<p>Chatham County. This section along the Deep River was the site of coal,</p><br>
<p>iron, and copper mining operations and iron foundries through much of</p><br>
<p>the nineteenth century. The present bridge was originally erected in 1901 as part of a multi-</p><br>
<p>span bridge over the Cape Fear River at Lillington, about thirty miles to the</p><br>
<p>southeast in Neal&#39;s Creek Township, Harnett County. After a span of the</p><br>
<p>bridge collapsed in December 1930, the remaining spans were disassembled in</p><br>
<p>order for a new bridge to be constructed at the site in 1931, and in 1932 one</p><br>
<p>of the salvaged spans was re-erected at the present site over the Deep River to</p><br>
<p>replace a wooden covered bridge that had burned about 1929.</p><br>
<p>Bridges have served this location at least as early as 1833. A</p><br>
<p>nineteenth-century fieldstone pier supports the present bridge on the</p><br>
<p>north end may date to an earlier bridge at the site, called</p><br>
<p>Evans Bridge after Peter Evans, whose plantation, Egypt, lay on the</p><br>
<p>south bank of the river.</p><br>
<p>In 1979 the bridge was one of</p><br>
<p>thirty-five bridges (including eight camelback trusses) formally</p><br>
<p>determined eligible for the National Register as</p><br>
<p>important examples of metal truss engineering technology in the state</p><br>
<p>from 1880 to 1935, and for associations with transportation improvements</p><br>
<p>in the state in the early twentieth century.</p><br>
<p>Today Truss Bridge #155 is one of only four camelback trusses surviving</p><br>
<p>in North Carolina.</p><br>
<p>In 1992 the Department of Transportation completed a new concrete bridge</p><br>
<p>spanning the Deep River east of Truss Bridge #155. Ownership of the</p><br>
<p>older bridge was transferred to the Deep River Park Association,</p><br>
<p>and it will be preserved in place as part of the group&#39;s Rails-Trails</p><br>
<p>route under development.</p><br>
<h2>Design</h2><br>
<p>Truss Bridge #155 is a camelback truss bridge, 160 feet long and divided</p><br>
<p>into eight panels, with the two trusses joined by a system of portal,</p><br>
<p>lateral, and sway braces. The truss system is</p><br>
<p>pin-joined. The trusses have die-punched eyes on the bottom chords but</p><br>
<p>also forge-welded double clevises on all tie bars. The bridge is supported by coarse stone (north side) and concrete piers, with a macadam covered plank road surface. The remains of the</p><br>
<p>earthen base and timber support for the central pier of an earlier</p><br>
<p>bridge may be seen below the bridge.</p><br>
<p>Downingtown Log House is an American historic house located in Downingtown, Chester County, Pennsylvania. It was built circa 1700 and is a -story, round log structure measuring 21 feet 9 inches by 25 feet. The building is a house rather than a cabin because log cabins are only one floor. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Log House was constructed circa 1700 by early English settlers Jeremiah Collett or Joseph Hickman (the exact date and builder are unknown). It is the earliest surviving example of European settlement in central Chester County.</p><br>
<p>Owned by members of the Downing family for about 200 years, the house has been owned by the Borough of Downingtown since 1940, when Thomas W. Downing willed the property to the borough. The house was restored in 1947 and became the headquarters for the Downingtown Chamber of Commerce from 1950 to 1988. In 1989, the house was restored a second time and relocated 70 feet away from its original location, adjacent to a busy roadway. The house is open to the public.</p><br>
<p>The house was constructed using 62 chestnut, oak, and white pine logs, all still extant. The roof is cedar-shingled and the exterior whitewashed. The log corners are saddle notched, characteristic of English Quaker log construction, though there are Swedish derivatives such as a slide-boarded window on the south wall and horizontal planking on the gable ends.</p><br>

<p>The Joseph Henry Lumpkin House was built in the 1830s, and purchased by its namesake, the first chief justice of the Georgia Supreme Court, in 1842.</p><br>
<h2>Early history</h2><br>
<p>Built in the 1830s by Charles H. McKinley, the house was originally a much smaller structure. Lumpkin purchased the home around 1842, and in 1850 undertook extensive renovations, when the house was nearly doubled in size. The renovations included a new front, constructed in the historic Greek Revival style, which was altered to face south from the original west facing orientation. At that time, the house sat nearly 400 feet back from Prince Avenue. Lumpkin resided in the home until his death in 1867. After Lumpkin, the house was the site of Madame Sosnowski’s Female Institute, offering young women instruction in German, French, and music. The institute was closed in 1899, with the death of Madame Sosnowski.</p><br>
<p>In 1906, as the city of Athens expanded and land within the city limits became more dear, the house was placed on rollers and moved "several hundred feet" closer to Prince Avenue. Beginning in the early 1900s and for several decades thereafter, the house served as the home of the Athens Women&#39;s Club. The Club donated the house to the Joseph Henry Lumpkin Foundation in 1975. The structure subsequently underwent substantial renovations to both the exterior and interior.</p><br>

<p>The Warren B. Smith House at 589 E. Main St. in American Fork, Utah, United States, was built in 1897. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.</p><br>
<h2>Late Victorian</h2><br>
<p>The house is significant as an attractive and representative example "of the modest late-Victorian dwellings to be found in many of Utah&#39;s small towns," and for its association with Warren B. Smith, its builder. Smith was a blacksmith who became a leading citizen in American Fork, including serving on the city council. He spent four years in two full-time missions for the LDS church. He supported three wives, and took a fourth wife late in his life, at age 63, in 1907, and spent six months in the Utah Territorial Penitentiary for his violation of the Edmunds-Tucker Act. He led the American Fork choir for thirty years.</p><br>
<p>The Springville Carnegie Library at 175 South Main Street in Springville, Utah, United States is a Prairie School style Carnegie library building completed in 1922. It is one of the 23 Carnegie Libraries that were built in Utah. It functioned as the city public library until 1965, when the library was moved to a new larger building . The 1922 building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991. It now houses a pioneer relic museum for the Daughters of the Utah Pioneers.</p><br>
<h2>Physical Appearance</h2><br>
<p>The National Register of Historic Places Registration Form describes the building as building that follows the Carnegie Library standards. The building is generally characterized by Prairie style architecture, most notably seen in the tall, vertical windows arranged in a strong horizontal band on both the main and lower levels. However, the main entry is characterized by its classical influences including the rounded top main door capped by a semi-circular pre-cast concrete hood with decorative scroll brackets on both sides.</p><br>
<p>The library is rectangular in shape and one-and-one-half stories in height. The exterior consists of textured bricks and is capped by a horizontal band of stucco decorated in ceramic tile mosaics. This stucco also characterized by a brick soldier course at the top and bottom.</p><br>
<p>Large masonry piers interrupt at all four corners of the building as well as at the main entry. They divide the main facade into three symmetrical parts.</p><br>
<p>In the 1970s, an imitation mansard roof was added and this greatly altered its appearance. This addition rendered the Springville Carnegie Library ineligible for recognition by the National Register of Historic Places. Since then, the mansard roof was removed, which restored the building to its original appearance. It is now currently eligible.</p><br>
<p>The last modification to the exterior of the building was the replacement of a three-foot-tall brick railing wall at the main entry by a cast-iron railing.</p><br>
