<p>The West Chapel Hill Historic District is a national historic district in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. The district comprises several small neighborhoods and is roughly bounded by West Cameron Avenue, Malette Street, Ransom Street, Pittsboro Street, University Drive and the Westwood Subdivision. The district was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1998, and was enlarged in 2019. The district encompasses an upper-middle class residential neighborhood that developed during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The growth of the district is related to the development of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and the town of Chapel Hill.</p><br>
<h2>Town development</h2><br>
<h3>18th and 19th centuries</h3><br>
<p>The history of the town of Chapel Hill begins with the birth of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill when local settlers donated 1,386 acres of land to the North Carolina General Assembly to encourage the selection of Chapel Hill to be the location of a university. The university was chartered by the General Assembly on December 11, 1789, and opened its doors for instruction in 1795.</p><br>
<p>In the first part of the nineteenth century, the village grew slowly, but experienced more rapid growth in the 1850s as funding and enrollment of the university expanded. Also, in 1851, Chapel Hill as a town was incorporated; the district was included within the town limits. Until the incorporation of the town and consequently the district, the area west of the university was considered an outlying area. Most residential development occurred around Franklin Street and Rosemary Lane, which were Chapel Hill&#39;s two main streets at the time.</p><br>
<h3>Early 20th century</h3><br>
<p>In the 1900s, many new residents came to the town to work and start businesses, and a public school system was established and began operating in 1909. After 1900, the growth of the university resulted in the influx of faculty families, and the residential neighborhoods comprising West Chapel Hill provided dwellings and land to accommodate them. The economic base of Chapel Hill has always been centered on education, and the towns leading citizens have been professors, many of whom bought and sold land as a hobby. These professors bought, developed and sold land at a profit. Other citizens who had prominent positions in politics, banking and mercantile trades became attracted to the area in the early twentieth century, making the town and specifically the neighborhoods within the West Chapel Hill Historic District home to Chapel Hills wealthiest citizens.</p><br>
<h4>Emergence of urban planning philosophies</h4><br>
<p>Communities throughout the United States began to focus on improving currently developing residential suburbs as a result of the City Beautiful Movement, which followed the 1893 Chicago Worlds Fair. The movement itself emphasized the positive effect of beautiful city spaces on human behavior. During the 1920s, the neighborhoods growth was influenced by the movement and is exhibited by the large lawns and other park-like amenities and walkways featured around many of the houses built during this era.</p><br>
<p>The Neighborhood Movement also emerged in the 1920s and was based on the idea that attractive and stimulating neighborhood environments positively affected and shaped human behavior. This philosophy spurned neighborhood planning and resulted in the land along McCauley and Vance Streets being subdivided into smaller and more regularly sized lots than those along West Cameron Avenue.</p><br>
<h4>Great Depression</h4><br>
<p>The Great Depression negatively influenced Chapel Hills economy in the form of a reduced university appropriation (25% of its 1928 budget in 1929, 20% of that in 1930, and 22% in 1932). As a result, professors salaries were reduced and supplemented their lower income by renting rooms to students. In 1935, the university appropriation was reinstated to 1929 levels, and residential construction improved. The town continued to grow as the university expanded in order to accommodate new businesses, which resulted in increased demand for housing.</p><br>
<p>Between 1933 and 1937, professor and developer W.F. Prouty subdivided lots in the Westwood area. Westwood Drive, which forms a loop beginning and ending at South Columbia Street, was the first street to be developed. In 1950, the town limits expanded for the first time since 1851. The following year, the Westwood area was annexed into the town of Chapel Hill on December 25.</p><br>
<h3>Late 20th century and today</h3><br>
<p>The population of Chapel Hill grew from 9,177 people in 1950 to 25,573 people in 1970 (Footnote 13 - Amy&#39;s source eval 1 book). According to the 2010 USA Census, there were 57,233 people in 20,564 households. This population boom was largely due to continued growth of the university, as well as the establishment of Research Triangle Park. Today, the continuous flow of students, faculty and staff into Chapel Hill and their demand for housing near the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill campus maintains the link between the West Chapel Hill Historic District and the university.</p><br>
<h2>Main Streets</h2><br>
<p>Within the West Chapel Hill Historic District, there are two main streets: Cameron Avenue and McCauley Street. Both streets were named for prominent citizens of Chapel Hill.</p><br>
<h3>Cameron Avenue</h3><br>
<p>Cameron Avenue is a road that runs through the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill campus and divides McCorkle Place and Polk Place. The street was named Cameron Avenue in 1885 in recognition of Paul Carrington Cameron. Previously, the street was referred to as "College Avenue" and was the southern boundary of the university&#39;s campus. After the university closed during Reconstruction on December 1, 1870, Cameron worked to reopen the university in 1875. Cameron lived in Chapel Hill during the mid-nineteenth century and became the richest man in the state due to investments in real estate. Cameron also made a loan to the university to complete the construction of Memorial Hall. In the 1880s, Cameron Avenue was extended west, beyond the campus, and subsequently became a main artery of what is now the West Chapel Hill Historic District.</p><br>
<h3>McCauley Street</h3><br>
<p>McCauley Street is a road that runs through a residential neighborhood west of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill campus. The street is named after David McCauley, who was a prominent merchant and the largest landowner in Chapel Hill by 1875. McCauley was the great-grandson of William and Matthew McCauley, who were original donors of land given to help found the university. McCauley named the street after himself. He also named Vance Street and Ransom Street, both of which are located within the West Chapel Hill Historic District. McCauley named the streets after two of his favorite Democratic politicians, Governor Zebulon Vance and Dr. Edward Ransom, a prominent legislator.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The district consists mainly of residential buildings constructed between 1845 and 1948. The dwellings built within the district exhibit some of the following architectural styles: Colonial Revival, Craftsman Bungalow, Tudor Revival, Queen Anne and Ranch.</p><br>

<p>Broadacres is a subdivision in Houston, Texas, United States, within the Boulevard Oaks community. It is located north of Bissonnet Street, south of U.S. Route 59, west of the Houston Museum District, and east of other subdivisions of Boulevard Oaks. The neighborhood is known for its large lots, historic preservationism, broad tree canopies, wide streets with medians, and affluence.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Broadacres was developed by prominent Houston attorney and banker Captain James A. Baker in cooperation with his son, attorney James A. Baker, Jr., in the early 1920s. Baker, Sr. had purchased a 32 acre parcel of property north of Rice University – and close to the burgeoning new Museum District – in 1908.</p><br>
<p>Construction in Broadacres ceased during the Great Depression. James A. Baker, Jr. never lived in Broadacres, because he believed he would be unable to afford a $20,000 (about $ today) down payment for a lot. By the 1930s, Broadacres "collectively displayed its residents as a Houston upper class," according to Rice University architectural historian Stephen Fox.</p><br>
<p>In 1980, the family of Gus Sessions Wortham, a local businessman and philanthropist, donated his former house to the University of Houston System for use as the chancellor&#39;s residence. The three-storey house, which sits on 1.82 acre of land, was constructed by oilman Frank Sterling and was the most expensive in the neighborhood upon its completion in 1927. Only the second floor of the residence is reserved for the chancellor; the first and third floors are reserved for artwork and public events. It is a contributing property to the Broadacres district. It was scheduled to undergo a renovation in 2017. the value was about $6 million.</p><br>
<p>The Broadacres Historic District, which includes 18 contributing buildings at 1300-1506 North Blvd. and 1305-1515 South Blvd., was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980. It includes works designed by architects Birdsall Briscoe and John F. Staub.</p><br>
<h2>Cityscape</h2><br>
<p>Kate Sayen Kirkland, author of James A. Baker of Houston, 1857-1941, said "Typical of the finest homes being constructed in Houston during the 1920s, the houses in Broadacres represent the eclectic style favored by the country house movement prevalent in that era." Stephen Fox, author of The Country Houses of John F. Staub, said that in the 1920s "the entire neighborhood of Broadacres attained a collective identity that emphasized—through the beauty and decorum of individual houses and their systematic integration into a hierarchical landscape order that moved rhythmically measured sequences from the space of each country house, to its garden, to the space of the community, to the space of the planned garden city— the discernment, authority and what called "radiance" of its residents." Fox said that "t is the extraordinary collective impact that Broadacres&#39;s landscape still exerts that makes it such an instructive example of how elite community was socially constructed in Houston through architecture and landscape architecture during the 1920s."</p><br>
<h2>Education</h2><br>

<p>The William Friend Young House at 550 E. Five Hundred N. in Pleasant Grove, Utah, United States, was built during 1885–86. Its exterior walls are soft rock. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.</p><br>
<h2>Physical Appearance</h2><br>
<p>Built in 1885–86, the William F. Young House is a one-story hall-parlor house with a gable roof and soft-rock exterior walls. During the early twentieth century, additions were made to the rear, the house was stuccoed, and other minor alterations were made. The building was renovated in 1986, exposing the soft-rock walls once again and restoring a substantial degree of the building&#39;s original integrity.</p><br>
<p>The Young House is a typical hall-parlor house with a central transomed door flanked by a pair of windows on the facade and two rooms of unequal size on the interior. The house sits on a fieldstone foundation and has plain wooden lintels. There is an unfinished attic that is accessible only from an exterior upper entrance on the east or left side of the house. About 1910, a 19 X 12 brick addition with a stone foundation was added to the back of the house at the southwest corner. It consisted of a kitchen and a pantry. The pantry was converted into a bathroom in 1943. Soon after the brick addition was built, the soft-rock portion of the house was stuccoed and scored to Ph resemble smooth-cut stone, giving the house a more refined appearance. This was a popular technique used on soft-rock buildings in Pleasant Grove at that time. The stuccoed walls were covered by asbestos siding in 1952. A shed-roof frame addition was built on the southeast corner of the house in 1941. It is currently in poor condition. Both the brick and frame additions do not significantly detract from the historic appearance of the house because they are located at the rear of the house and they are relatively small in scale.</p><br>
<p>A significant interior feature of the house is the 13 X 12-7" cellar that served as the Young family&#39;s original 1884 dugout home. It is located five feet south of the soft-rock portion of the house beneath the 1941 addition on the southeast corner. It consists of a single room with fieldstone walls and a dirt floor. The original pitched roof was removed to accommodate the 1941 addition. The house was substantially renovated in 1985–86.</p><br>
<p>Both the siding and the stucco were removed from the exterior walls, and the deteriorated mortar joints were repointed. The original front door was replaced and mirror-finish storm windows were added on the outside, leaving the original double-hung windows intact. Most of the woodwork on both the exterior and interior has been retained. Custom-milled baseboard and door casings have replaced some ruined woodwork. The position of the door between the soft-rock and brick addition was changed in 1931, but the integrity of the woodwork has been maintained. A cupboard and hutch that were built into the brick addition remain.</p><br>
<p>There are several outbuildings on the property, though none of them contribute to the significance of the property. They include a privy and barn, thought to have been built by William F. Young, the original owner, during the late nineteenth or early twentieth centuries. An addition of railroad ties was built on the barn at an unknown date. Other outbuildings include a tie shed (date unknown), a frame chicken coop (1935), and a frame garage-shop (1935). These are all in fair condition.</p><br>
<h2>Statement of Historical Significance</h2><br>
<p>Built in 1885–86, the William Friend Young House is one of the 13 buildings included in the Pleasant Grove Soft-rock Buildings Thematic Resource nomination. Soft-rock buildings are significant because they help document the distinctive regional diversity found in nineteenth-century building stones in Utah. They also represent a distinct phase of the building construction industry in the Pleasant Grove area. Mormon community building in the Great Basin West rested upon the dual principles of order and permanence, and the grid-iron town plan and the use of stone as an early building material have become important symbols of Mormon settlement values. A great variety of local stones were used throughout the state, and the soft and easily worked tufa stone, popular in Pleasant Grove between about 1865 to 1900, remains one of the most distinctive. About 130 soft-rock buildings were known to have once stood in Pleasant Grove, yet there are only 13 well preserved examples today. Most of the earlier buildings in the community, constructed during the 1850s and 60s, were made of adobe, which was easily made and worked. As fired brick became more available and fashionable during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, it replaced soft-rock as the dominant local building material. The remaining soft-rock buildings are important examples of a local architectural tradition and contribute to an understanding of the regional diversity of Utahs early architectural history.</p><br>
<p>William Friend Young was born May 4, 1860, in Warren, Ohio, and immigrated to Pleasant Grove in 1871 with his parents. There he met Christina Williamson. Christina had emigrated from Hjorring, Denmark, with her parents, William Christian and Christena Hellensen Williamson. Christina, born March 22, 1862, crossed the plains at age three and was raised in Pleasant Grove. William Young and Christina were married December 27, 1879, and in June 1880 moved to Spanish Fork. In 1884 they moved back to Pleasant Grove, where they intended to establish a permanent home.</p><br>
<p>Soon after their arrival, William obtained an acre of land and prepared temporary living quarters by excavating an underground room, rocking up the walls, and covering it with a low roof of willows and sod. This was not an unfamiliar type of housing to Christina. Her father had provided a similar dugout home south of the Pleasant Grove cemetery when she was a child in 1866.</p><br>
<p>By 1886, William Friend Young had built a two-room, soft-rock house about five feet north of the dugout. William, a stone and brick mason by trade, laid the fieldstone foundation and 24-inch-thick soft-rock house walls. He probably also built the brick addition on the rear c. 1910. Soon after that, he reportedly stuccoed the soft-rock portion of the house because he did not like the contrast between the new brick section and the original soft-rock house.</p><br>
<p>Between 1887 and 1901 six more children were born to William and Christina. They were all born in this house according to Marjorie Wax, a granddaughter. The household was enlarged when Young&#39;s bachelor brother, Peter, who had lost a leg in a logging accident, moved in.</p><br>
<p>William Friend Young followed the stonemason trade all of his life, specializing in walls, wells, cisterns, and cesspools. He died of a heart attack October 27, 1921, after working all day laying a wall. Christina, who had become an arthritic invalid, was cared for at home by her son, J. Vern, and his wife, Angeline, who had been living in the house since their marriage in 1918. After Christina&#39;s death in 1937, Vern assumed ownership of the house.</p><br>
<p>Vern and Angeline shared the house with his sister and her four children, who, abandoned by her husband, moved in with them in 1941. The frame addition over the dugout at the rear was built at that time to accommodate them. Vern worked for the Union Pacific Railroad from the time he was 15 until his retirement in 1954. He died in 1972. Angeline survived him and moved to Provo in 1979 with their daughter, Marjorie Wax, who was born and raised in the house as one of three sisters. The Young family sold the home in 1985.</p><br>
<p>The Grant County Courthouse in Elbow Lake, Minnesota, United States, is the county seat of Grant County and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. This building was opened in 1906, replacing the county&#39;s first courthouse which opened in 1878. The original building had four rooms and a hall on the first level, while the courtroom on the second level was accessed by an outside stairway. One source indicated that trials were held in nearby Douglas County until 1883, though.</p><br>
<p>In 1881, the town of Herman induced the Minnesota Legislature to put a question on the election ballot to move the county seat to Herman. At that time, Elbow Lake was a tiny residential community without railroad access and with little commerce, while Herman had railroad access, several businesses, and a population of several hundred. The election ended up with 439 votes to move the county seat to Herman, versus 369 to keep it in Elbow Lake. This was a total of 808 votes when there were 872 registered voters in the county. Private citizens started building a courthouse in Herman, and when that building was finished, a number of citizens raided the county offices in Elbow Lake and removed all the records to Herman. The election was challenged in court, with Knute Nelson and H. Jenkins representing Elbow Lake and L.W. Collins representing Herman. The investigation revealed that the vote from Erdahl Township had never been counted, Logan Township had turned in more votes than the number of registered voters, and that supporters of Herman had hired workers from Anoka and Minneapolis to work as laborers on the streets and to cast illegitimate votes. There were also six votes from minors and eight votes from men who were not American citizens. On August 19, 1882, the court found in Elbow Lake&#39;s favor. Knute Nelson later went on to become a Congressional representative, the governor of Minnesota, and then a USA Senator.</p><br>
<p>Grant County developed rapidly in the 1890s, and county records and business made it necessary to build a bigger building. A tax levy was started in 1899, and in 1904 the county advertised that it was ready for plans. The firm of Bell & Detweiler was chosen. The Prince Construction Company of Minneapolis agreed to construct the building for $60,202, and began construction in spring 1905. The building was completed in April 1906. County attorney E.J. Scofield moved in on May 21, 1906, and the courthouse was formally dedicated on July 23, 1906.</p><br>
<p>The building has three stories and is designed in a Beaux-Arts architecture style. The towering dome rises 102.5 ft above ground level, with the building measuring 97 by. The Portwing brownstone came from a quarry near Duluth. It has a slate roof, terrazzo floors, pink Tennessee marble wainscoting in the main corridor, and marble borders in other corridors.</p><br>
<p>A suspicious incident happened in July 2005, when three men dressed as Grant County Highway Department workers stole the cornerstone from the building in the early morning. The citizens of Herman were suspected again, even though it had been 123 years since the courthouse was relocated to Elbow Lake. A few days later, the cornerstone turned up at the Grant County Fair in Herman, where fairgoers could pay a $20 donation to get their photo taken with the stolen cornerstone. The money went to the Grant County Historical Society, and the cornerstone was later returned to Elbow Lake.</p><br>
<p>The Maj. Gen. John Sedgwick House is a historic house at 52 Hautboy Hill Road in Cornwall, Connecticut. Built in 1859–60, it is a prominent local example of Italianate architecture, and was built by Union Army General John Sedgwick, one of Connecticut&#39;s leading figures in the American Civil War. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Sedgwick House stands in a rural setting in far northeastern Cornwall, on the south side of Hautboy Hill Road at its junction with Hurlburt Place. It is a two-story wood-frame structure, five bays wide, with a center entry and twin chimneys. It has Italianate features applied to a more traditional Federal period structure: the five-bay facade and side gable roof are Federal, while the heavy bracketed front portico is Italianate, as are the other richly detailed trim elements. The house is oriented with its front facing east toward Hurlburt Place, and its west toward an expansive view to the western hills. On that side of the house there is a full-width porch with detailing repeated from the house trim. Under the porch are full-height windows that serve as French doors.</p><br>
<p>John Sedgwick was born in a house standing on this site in 1818, which had been built by his grandfather, a veteran of the American Revolutionary War. In 1859 this family homestead burned to the ground. Sedgwick, then already well established in his military career, took leave to oversee construction of its replacement. This house was built, apparently on the foundation of the old house, in 1859–60. The work was done by Cyrus Marsh, a local builder who may also have been responsible for the design of its exterior decorations. Sedgwick was active in many campaigns of the American Civil War, and was killed by a sharpshooter at the 1864 Battle of Spotsylvania Court House; he was the Union Army&#39;s highest-ranking casualty of the war.</p><br>
<p>The Utah State Training School Amphitheater and Wall, is an amphitheater and boundary wall in northwest American Fork, Utah, United States, that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The structures are located roughly at 845 east 700 north and are part of the Utah State Developmental Center (formerly known as the Utah State Training School). They were built of stone by the Works Progress Administration in 1936.</p><br>
<p>The amphitheater and wall were jointly added to the National Register of Historic Places October 7, 1994. Completed in 1996, the Mount Timpanogos Temple was built directly east of the amphitheater, just across north 900 rast.</p><br>
<p>The Thomas and Mary Webb House, is a historic residence in Lehi, Utah, United States, that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places .</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The house is located at 388 North 200 East and was built in 1903. It was built in 1903: its walls were constructed out of fired brick.</p><br>
<p>The Webbs were a successful local family. Thomas was Mayor of Lehi from 1905 to 1909. His father George, who bought the house plot in 1894, was the owner and editor of the Lehi Banner, the local newspaper. Thomas and Mary married in Salt Lake City in 1882 and raised three children in the Lehi house, which remained their family home throughout their lives.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the NRHP December 4, 1998.</p><br>
<p>Brookland Plantation  is a large plantation along Shingle Creek on Edisto Island, South Carolina.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Brookland Plantation existed on Edisto Island at least by the late 18th century, when it was the home of Joseph and Martha Jenkins, who are buried on the farm. The current plantation house, however, was built later. The core of the house was built of black cypress, and its side pavilions were added later. Long-gone cabins for the enslaved people who worked the land once stood between what are now grand old oak trees.</p><br>
<p>The house was perhaps built between 1800 and 1807, but some, such as architectural historian Samuel G. Stoney, claim that the house was likely built in the 1840s. The exact date of construction has not been determined, but Robert Mills is a suggested architect for the house. Ephriam Mikell Seabrook acquired the land, perhaps by intermarriage to the Seabrook family, by about 1800, and used it as cotton plantation before the Civil War. Ephriams son, Henry Seabrook, inherited the plantation but lost it in a tax sale in 1872 when H.E. Young and James Lowndes bought the then-300 acres for $471. In 1928, Mary P. Bailey bought the house and added a metal roof over the wood shingles. In 1958, Rev. Ralph Wentling bought the plantation and turned it into Brooklands Home for Boys in 1958. The old school bell is mounted in the back garden. In 1968, Dr. and C.C. Wannamaker bought the house, while the Brooklands Home for Boys moved to Orangeburg County off the present U. S. 301 and Interstate 26, where it stayed until its acquisition by the South Carolina Baptist Convention, which merged it into the Connie Maxwell Childrens Home in 1993.</p><br>
<p>Robert Chesnut bought the house from Dr. Wannamaker after a bidding war with another interested buyer, a partnership, for $1.75 million. Pat Barber and Cas Danielowski, who were the members of the partnership, coincidentally had been former clients of Mr. Chesnut and had planned on hiring him to restore the house for them had they bought it. Barber, Danielowski, and Chesnut formed a new partnership to restore the house. Former South Carolina Treasurer Thomas Ravenel purchased the 3,440-square foot house in 2006 because he heard there was an effort to subdivide the 60-acre property, and he wanted to save it. The property was listed for sale in June 2019, at a list price of $3,950,000 (~$ in ).</p><br>
<p>The John Downing Jr. House is a historic house in downtown Middleport, a village located on the banks of the Ohio River in the southeastern part of the USA state of Ohio. Built in 1859, it was the home of prominent Middleport resident John B. Downing. Known to his intimates as "Major" Downing, he worked for much of his life as a pilot for riverboats on the Mississippi River. Notably, his work with the young Samuel Clemens led to a literary appearance years later: writing under the name of "Mark Twain", Clemens portrayed him in the book Life on the Mississippi. One of his two sons, John B. Jr., was the house&#39;s namesake</p><br>
<p>Downing&#39;s house in Middleport is a brick building with a foundation of sandstone, an asphalt roof, and elements of wood and various types of metal. Designed by R.A. Miller and Frederick Crowther, it includes architectural elements that later became known as components of the Colonial Revival style. Two stories tall with an attic in the gables, the house has single-story wings whose flat roofs are enclosed by railings.</p><br>
<p>In 1993, the Downing House was listed on the National Register of Historic Places, qualifying both because of its historically significant architecture and because of its place as the home of John Downing. The last Downing to live in the house died in the same year. Ten years later, after approximately five years of restoration, Downing&#39;s residence opened as a bed and breakfast, the Downing House Bed and Breakfast.</p><br>
<p>Remley Point Cemetery  is a cemetery located in the Scanlonville community in Mt. Pleasant, South Carolina. It contains 41 marked graves ranging from 1867 to 1989, but residents claim there may be over 1,000 people, largely African American, buried there. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2p02.</p><br>
<p>In 1999, the 3-acre cemetery was purchased by Tom and Victoria Rogers, who planned to use the property as part of a larger homestead. In 2001, the Rogers filed to relocate the graves so that they could build their home, but withdrew the request when residents of Scanlonville sued to block the relocation. Following a renewal of that request, in 2005 a judge ruled that the historical cemetery could not be developed.</p><br>
<p>The Mound Cemetery Mound is a Native American mound in central Meigs County, Ohio, United States. Located in the eponymous Mound Cemetery, the mound lies north of the community of Chester in Chester Township.</p><br>
<p>Many burial mounds still existed in present-day Meigs County when the area was first settled by European Americans. But many were destroyed by settlers who hoped to find treasures within. Some of these mounds yielded artifacts such as stone tools, pottery, and skeletons when opened. Other mounds were gradually destroyed by repeated plowing of farmers cultivating their fields for many years. The remains of what may have once been another mound and related earthworks can be found in the near vicinity of Mound Cemetery.</p><br>
<p>Another Adena mound, known as the Reeves Mound, is located in northern Meigs County north of the unincorporated community of Alfred. Unlike the mound remnants near the cemetery, the Mound Cemetery Mound and the Reeves Mound are recognized as significant archeological sites and both are listed on the National Register of Historic Places; both were added to the Register in 1974.</p><br>
<p>Grove Plantation is a plantation house in Adams Run, South Carolina.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The area now known as the Grove Plantation was a land grant to Robert Fenwick in 1694. From 1695 until 1825, the property changed hands nine times.</p><br>
<h3>Morris years</h3><br>
<p>In 1825, George Washington Morris (1799–1834), a grandson of Lewis Morris (1726–1798), signer of the Declaration of Independence, who purchased the land and named it Grove Plantation.</p><br>
<p>George Washington Morris, who was born in 1796 at Morrisania, the family estate in Westchester County, New York, married Maria Evans Whaley from Edisto. His parents owned large tracts of land, including a plantation directly across the river from what is now known as Grove Plantation. He built the Grove House about 1828.</p><br>
<p>It is built in the late-Federal-period plantation style and has the unusual feature of polygonal rooms and projecting symmetrical polygonal bays. G.W. Morris died on August 22, 1834, leaving his wife, a son, and three daughters. After his death, his wife, Maria, kept control of the Grove, and later purchased a schooner, with which she transported freight for her neighbors. By 1837, she had not only paid off her husband&#39;s debts, but she also had the house plastered. In 1839, she installed a threshing machine and by 1841, she had a housekeeper and a governess in her employ in addition to her overseer.</p><br>
<p>G. W. Morris son, George Jr., was not a good business manager, and from the time his mother passed the management of the plantation to him until the time of his death in 1857, he built up huge debts. After his death, the plantation was sold to John Berkely Grimball in 1857. John Grimball was married to Margaret Ann (Meta) Morris, G. W. Morris niece, and owned the adjacent plantation, Pinebury. He combined Pinebury and the Grove into one large property and the family moved into the Grove House early in 1858. During the Civil War, the family went to Spartanburg. Both Pinebury and the Grove were sites of military activity and the Grove House was at one time occupied by Confederate troops. Since the Grove was considered abandoned, it was confiscated. On January 24, 1866, J. Berkeley Grimball made application to the Bureau of Refugees, Freedmen, and Abandoned Lands for restoration of his property. Because he took the amnesty oath of loyalty to the United States, he was able to regain ownership of the Grove and Pinebury.</p><br>
<p>After the war, John Grimball was unable to make his mortgage payments on the Grove. Therefore, the land reverted to G. W. Morris&#39; heirs, Josephine M. Porter (1831–1892), the wife of Peter A. Porter (1827–1864), a prominent Colonel from New York who had died during the Civil War and who had previously been married to another southerner, Mary Cabell Breckinridge (1826–1854), and Sabina Ann Morris in 1870.</p><br>
<h3>Post-Morris</h3><br>
<p>After that, the property changed hands numerous times until, it was purchased by Owen Winston in 1929, the President of Brooks Brothers. Winston did a restoration of the house and was most likely the one who had the outbuildings put in.</p><br>
<p>The plantation once again had several owners until Thompson Brown purchased it in 1930. The Brown family used the Grove as a winter vacation residence and hunted waterfowl and deer. R. Carter Henry purchased the Grove in 1964. The Henrys did another extensive renovation on the house. They changed the stairwell in the foyer to an open design. They also put the duck tiles around the fireplace in the conference room. In addition, they did extensive renovations to the outbuildings.</p><br>
<p>Mr. Henry sold the Grove to A. Leigh Baier in the early 1970s. During the Baier family&#39;s ownership, numerous rice field trunks (water control structures) were rebuilt or replaced and many of the dikes around the rice fields were repaired. Mr. Baier sold the Grove to Margaret B. Hendricks, who owned the plantation until The Nature Conservancy purchased it in 1991.</p><br>
<h2>Present day</h2><br>
<p>The United States Fish and Wildlife Service purchased the property in 1992 and designated it as the ACE Basin National Wildlife Refuge. The Grove Plantation House is one of only a few antebellum mansions in the ACE Basin area to survive the Civil War. Former owners ensured it would be preserved by placing it on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978. Another extensive renovation was done on the house in 1996 - 1997. Today it houses the offices of the US Fish and Wildlife Service&#39;s ACE Basin National Wildlife Refuge.</p><br>
<p>Cook&#39;s Old Field Cemetery, also known as Hamlin Cemetery, is a historic cemetery located near Mount Pleasant, Charleston County, South Carolina. It contains graves dating from 1805 to 1916; the majority date from the 1840s and 1850s. The oldest marker is for Arnold Wells who died in 1805. On July 16, 1863, Mary Moore Hamlin set aside one acre of land for the dedicated cemetery.</p><br>
<p>The cemetery is an excellent example of a mid-19th century plantation cemetery associated with the Hamlin, Hibben, and Leland families and is an excellent example of mid-nineteenth century gravestone art. It is also the last extant resource associated with the Hamlin, Hibben, and Leland families; none of the families&#39; plantation houses survive around Mount Pleasant. The cemetery has 38 marked graves. There are headstones, box tombs, and an obelisk. Two markers commemorating the descendants of those who began a reunion committee in 1949 are located immediately inside the gate. The stones, arranged by family, display weathering and some vandalism but otherwise retain their integrity. Two brick columns mark the location of missing iron gates at the entrance. The cemetery was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on May 9, 2003.</p><br>
<p>Seven of the ornately carved markers were identified as the work of the family of Charleston stone carver Thomas Walker, who started a family business in 1794 that lasted until 1904.</p><br>
<p>The Hampton Waterworks is a historic site located in Hampton, Arkansas. Completed in 1937, it is the only surviving example of a Public Works Administration-built waterworks in Calhoun County. The site contains a good example of a 1930s-era elevated steel water tower, built by the Pittsburgh-Des Moines Steel Company. The site was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2006.</p><br>
<p>The William Jennings Bryan House is a historic home located at 107 Evelyn Pl. in Asheville, Buncombe County, North Carolina. It was designed by architects Smith & Carrier and built in 1917. It is a two-story, five-bay, side-gable roofed dwelling in the Colonial Revival style. This was the home of William Jennings Bryan from 1917 until he sold the house in 1920.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<p>Villa Serena, also known as the William Jennings Bryan House, in Miami, Florida, was a winter home of politician William Jennings Bryan. The Bryans hosted events of 500 persons there many times.</p><br>
<p>It was designed by architect August Geiger (1887-1968).</p><br>
<p>Villa Serena was purchased by philanthropist Adrienne Arsht in 2007. Arsht spent four years renovating the property, keeping it in line with the traditional architectural elements.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in January, 2012.</p><br>
<p>The Cotter water tower is a historic elevated steel water tower located in Cotter, Arkansas. It was constructed in 1935 by the Pittsburgh-Des Moines Steel Company, as part of the development of the local water supply system by the Public Works Administration. The tower was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2007, as part of a multiple-property listing that included numerous other PWA-era projects in Arkansas, under the heading “An Ambition to Be Preferred: New Deal Recovery Efforts and Architecture in Arkansas, 1933-1943.”</p><br>
<p>The Cotton Plant water tower is a historic elevated steel water tower located in Cotton Plant, Arkansas. It was built in 1935 by the Pittsburgh-Des Moines Steel Company in conjunction with the Public Works Administration as part of a project to improve the area&#39;s water supply. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2008, as part of a multiple-property listing that included numerous other New Deal-era projects throughout Arkansas.</p><br>
<p>The Mineral Springs Waterworks is a historic site located in Mineral Springs, Arkansas. It contains a good example of a 1930s-era elevated steel water tower, built in 1936 by the Pittsburgh-Des Moines Steel Company in conjunction with the Public Works Administration as part of a project to improve the town&#39;s water supply. The tower was built to store water obtained from a nearby well. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2007, as part of a multiple-property listing that included numerous other New Deal-era projects throughout Arkansas. A new water well was drilled nearby in 1985; however, the original water tower still stands. The Mineral Springs Waterworks remains in operation.</p><br>
<p>The Meigs County Courthouse is a local government building in Pomeroy, Ohio, United States. Built in the 1840s in this Ohio River village, it serves as the seat of government for Meigs County, and it is one of Ohio&#39;s oldest courthouses still used for its original purpose.</p><br>
<h2>Historic context</h2><br>
<p>In 1819, Meigs County was separated from Gallia County, and a courthouse and jail were soon built in the community of Chester. This building, known as the Old Meigs County Courthouse, remains in existence; it is the oldest standing courthouse in Ohio. Within twenty years, Chester was in decline and the new riverside village of Pomeroy was growing in prominence; the resulting change of county seat status from Chester to Pomeroy, accomplished in 1841, was later deemed the "one great event" in the county&#39;s history. construction was overseen by County Commissioner John C.

<p>Meigs County paid $5,215 to build the courthouse — $15 to buy the blueprints for the Scioto County Courthouse, and $5,200 for construction of a building virtually identical to the one in Scioto County. The three-story courthouse is a Greek Revival structure featuring elements such as a pedimented entrance with Doric columns, decorative pilasters, a bracketed cornice, and a circular central tower with a dome and windowed cupola. It is primarily built of brick, although carven stone trim frames the arched windows. Because downtown Pomeroy lies on a narrow strip of land between the Ohio River and steep cliffs, the courthouse was built against the cliffs. By 1877, insufficient interior space forced the construction of wings along the hillside to house additional offices, along with spiral staircases, the columns, and the Italianate-influenced cornice on the tower. In order to permit fuller use of the existing portions of the building, workers excavated the street to the same level as the basement. Existing hilly land around the wings permitted the construction of at-grade entrances to all three floors of the courthouse.</p><br>
<h2>Recent history</h2><br>
<p>Due in part to Pomeroys economic stagnation in the twentieth century, new construction in the downtown has been virtually nonexistent for several decades; consequently, the business district is almost identical to its nineteenth-century appearance. One of the more recent construction projects around the courthouse involved the placement of a Civil War memorial statue on the courthouse lawn in 1870; it bears more than five hundred names of the countys war dead. Most of the other downtown buildings are Italianate structures from the second half of the century, making the courthouse&#39;s earlier architecture stand out from its surroundings; observers across the Ohio River in Mason, West Virginia can easily see the courthouse as it sits at the northern end of Court Street. Because of its unusually good degree of preservation, much of the downtown was declared a historic district and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978. Known as the Pomeroy Historic District, this portion of the downtown centers on the courthouse.</p><br>
<p>The Meigs County Courthouse remains in use by governmental bodies, such as the common pleas court and lesser courts. It is one of the state&#39;s oldest courthouses still used as a courthouse.</p><br>
