<p>The E.W. Grove Henry County High School building, also known as Grove Tower, is a historic building located on Grove Boulevard in Paris, Henry County, Tennessee. It is a "two story and basement building of gray pressed brick," the first of a few buildings comprising the Grove School campus. Grove High School was the first privately endowed public high school in Tennessee, opening in 1906. It was closed after graduating the class of 1969 and replaced by Henry County High School. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.</p><br>
<h2>Endowment and building</h2><br>
<p>Edwin Wiley Grove, a former resident and businessman of Paris, Tennessee and formulator of Grove&#39;s Tasteless Chill Tonic, first offered to endow a public high school there on April 9, 1902. This offer stipulated that the county "establish and arrange for its maintenance." The Henry County Quarterly Court rejected this offer, citing the prevalence of smallpox in the county over the previous three years but "recognizing in it a high and philanthropic motive."</p><br>
<p>A second offer was made by Grove on July 3, 1905. Its terms stated that if the county and city would appropriate a sum of not less than $40,000 for the purposes of purchasing grounds, Grove would endow the school in the amount of $50,000 for the perpetual maintenance and operation. A board of trustees was further specified to handle the endowment. The court voted of 23 to 4 in favor of this offer.</p><br>
<p>Grove personally chose the site of the school on what was then known as Jernigan Heights, previously known as McCampbells Hill, the highest point in west Tennessee. T. P. Jernigan, the land owner, donated the 17 and one half acres chosen. The county acquired further land adjoining the site at a cost of $4,650. The cornerstone was ceremoniously laid by the Paris Masonic Lodge on June 26, 1906. A bottle of Groves Tasteless Chill Tonic was placed in inside.</p><br>
<p>Classes began in September 1906 in the library and council room of Paris City Hall until Christmas when Grove Tower building was finished.</p><br>
<p>Total expenditure in building the school was $46,400 paid in part by Henry county, the city of Paris and contributions from citizens. The building was designed by architect Reuben Harrison Hunt at a cost of $841.77. Joseph Tremby contracted for construction of the building, for which he was paid $28,946.89 and S. J. Veltman contracted for heating, plumbing and sewage for which he was paid $3,179.40, $1,459.60 and $525 respectively. Property for the school was a mix of donation and purchase at a cost of $4,650.00.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Grove High School&#39;s first football team, the Chill Tonics, were coached by co-principal Dr. Clovis Chappell. Their uniforms were provided by E. W. Grove and Barton Field was donated by Col. O. C. Barton.</p><br>
<p>The first graduates of Grove High School were Louise Johnsonius and Fern Madole. They were awarded their diplomas on a Sunday night in 1908 at a tent revival held in Paris by Rev. Lynn Broughton.</p><br>
<p>By 1910, the school was reported to have 150 pupils. About $15,000 had been raised by that time with the interest of building a dormitory for girls. Cavitt Hall, a two-story and basement dormitory was completed by the summer of 1910 with contributions from E. W. Grove, Col. and Mrs. O. C. Barton, J. C. Rainey, A. H. Lankford and other citizens of Henry County. It was named for the family of Mrs. Barton. In 1924, it was converted to a home economics department and the basement continued to be used as a cafeteria until 1949.</p><br>
<p>In 1912, E. W. Grove began sending a regular payment of $150 to the principal with instructions that it be used to purchase fruit for the students. When the principal instead used it to improve the road leading up to the school, Grove stopped the payment.</p><br>
<p>Dudley M. Clements, a popular Grove teacher and County Demonstration Agent for Henry County, established the nation&#39;s first vocational agricultural program in 1917 under the Smith-Hughes Act. In 1919, he was appointed State Superintendent of Vocational Agriculture.</p><br>
<p>When Grove died in January 1927, his estate settled with the school&#39;s board of trust to make a final payment of $81,000 and terminate any regular monies paid as part of his original endowment.</p><br>
<p>Edwin Wiley Grove, Jr. took great interest in the school where his father left off. In 1931, he expressed the desire to memorialize his father by erecting several new buildings for manual training and commercial departments. His stipulation was that the county maintain the school as a "first class grade school." The county court minutes addressing this proposal estimate maintenance between $3,000 and $4,000 per year and, despite the bad economic condition of the county at the time, the proposal was accepted. Grove made other contributions for the beautification of the campus and for the endeavors of the Parent Teacher Association. After the death of E. W. Grove, Jr. in May 1934, a building was completed in 1937 designed as a gymnasium with rooms for manual training and commercial shops. Funds and labor were furnished by the Federal Emergency Administration of Public Works.</p><br>
<p>The estate of E. W. Grove, Jr. paid $10,000 to the Henry County Board of Education in 1940 for the benefit of Grove High School. Of this, $4,000 was used to repair Cavitt Hall after it burned on January 27, 1943, and the remaining funds were used to install lights and hardwood floors in the Grove Tower building.</p><br>
<p>Weston Hall was completed in 1949 after the Tennessee State Board of Education issued an emergency warning that building facilities at Grove High School were inadequate for the enrollment. It was named for A. S. Weston, a teacher who served for 26 years at Grove High School before his death in 1946.</p><br>
<p>At Barton Field, a stadium was built in 1948 and a field house was built in 1954.</p><br>
<p>A new wing on the west side of Weston Hall was built in 1958 to house Grove Junior High School. Grades seven through nine were held there until 1979 when Grove Middle School took on grades seven and eight.</p><br>
<p>In 1969, the last class was graduated at E. W. Grove High School. It was replaced, along with a handful of other rural high schools in Henry County, by Henry County High School. Grove Junior High School remained on the campus.</p><br>
<p>After years of deterioration, Cavitt Hall was demolished in 1985. The Grove Tower building was saved from demolition in 1986 and became the home of the Henry County Board of Education. It had been vacant since 1983.</p><br>
<p>E. W. Grove School became the first stand-alone ninth grade school in the country in 1996.</p><br>
<p>A Centennial celebration was held on June 24, 2006, including a re-enactment of the cornerstone placement, speeches and a wreath-laying ceremony at the grave of E. W. Grove, Sr. In attendance was James Grove Jr., great-grandson of E. W. Grove.</p><br>
<p>The Palmer House was a historic house in Blackton, Arkansas. The house was built from 1870 to 1873 by lawyer John C. Palmer, one of the most significant lawyers in Arkansas in the 19th century. The home featured arched windows and doors, dormers on all four sides of the roof, and a bracketed cornice; it was considered to be one of the best examples of period architecture. Palmer originally decorated the grounds of the house with a wide variety of flora; his dedication to the house led locals to refer to it as "Palmers Folly". Palmers grandson, also named John C. Palmer, last owned the home. On May 4, 1976, the Palmer House was added to the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>On May 26, 2013, the Palmer House, after standing for over 140 years was destroyed by fire. The house was removed from the National Register on January 22, 2014.</p><br>
<p>Opals Steak House is a historic building located at 871 Park Avenue in Hot Springs, Arkansas. Opals Steak House was constructed between 1946 and 1948 to serve tourists visiting the thermal springs in Hot Springs; its location on Park Avenue served travelers on nearby USA Route 70, the main highway between Little Rock and Hot Springs. The building was constructed in the Art Moderne style, which is visible in its curved stucco facade and horizontal features. In 1952, the restaurant changed its name to the Golden Drumstick Restaurant; the building has since served as a clothing store, a furniture store, and a laundromat. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on February 11, 2004.</p><br>
<p>Broadway-Spring Arcade, also known as Broadway Arcade, Spring Arcade, Arcade Building, and Mercantile Arcade Building, refers to three adjoining buildings located at 540 S. Broadway / 541 S. Spring Street. The buildings face both Broadway and Spring Street, connecting the Broadway Theater and Spring Street Financial districts midway between Fifth and Sixth streets in the historic core of downtown Los Angeles.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<h3>Precursors</h3><br>
<p>In 1883, the Los Angeles school board purchased land fronting both Broadway and Spring Street, mid-block between Fifth and Sixth streets, for $12,500. Spring Street School was then built on the land.</p><br>
<p>In 1904, the school board put the land up for lease but retained the material in the schoolhouse. C. Westley Roberts secured a ten-year lease on the land and bought the schoolhouse material, which he then demolished. Mercantile Place opened on the property the following year, and during its existence, it was home to Citron-Favells Womens Wardrobe, Yamato Japanese art bazaar, Pe-co dance academy, and a Woodmen of the World temple, amongst others.</p><br>
<p>Around 1914, school board members realized their Broadway-Spring property value had increased from $400,000 in 1904 to $1 million, meaning Roberts&#39;s rental charge was only 2.5% a year on the valuation. As a result, in February 1914, the board signed a new lease with the Mercantile Improvement Association for $3,500 a month, and they held a referendum to decide the future of the property. The vote totals of the referendum were: 2,003 to lease the property for fifty years, 1,478 to sell the property, and 931 to do neither of these options.</p><br>
<p>The school board ultimately sold the property to Adolph Ramish in 1919 for $1.155 million. Ramish then resold the property to a group of San Francisco businessmen headed by A.C. Blumenthal for between $1.5 million and $2.5 million, in what was described as "probably the largest cash realty transaction in the history of Los Angeles."</p><br>
<p>Mercantile Place was demolished in 1923, when its title was passed to the Mercantile Arcade Realty Company. The adjoining buildings to the north and south were demolished the following month.</p><br>
<h3>Broadway-Spring Arcade</h3><br>
<h4>Preparation and construction</h4><br>
<p>The new property owners held an architectural design competition, which was won by Kenneth A. MacDonald Jr. and Maurice C. Couchot, who were each awarded $60,000 for their design. The design, patterned after London&#39;s Burlington Arcade, featured two twelve-story towers connected by a three-story shopping arcade and included 350 offices and 61 shops.</p><br>
<p>Work on the new buildings, led by Robert Youmans, began in 1922. The structural steel for the twelve-story Broadway building was completed on August 21, 1924, two months after the first column was erected, and the steel framework for the Spring Street building was finished two weeks later. The reinforced-concrete three-story Arcade building was also quickly completed, with its skylight necessitating more than 18,000 feet of glass. Businesses were moving into the building by January 7, 1925.</p><br>
<h4>Golden era</h4><br>
<p>The Arcade opened in February 1924 and was publicized as a "City Within a City," with the Spring Street building designed largely for financial houses and the Broadway building for general tenants. Notable tenants at the opening included Cranes Arcade Barber Shop, Desmonds Mens Arcade Shop, the sixth Sees Candy store, Sun Drug, Weaver-Jackson ("the largest hair store and beauty parlor in the west"), Western Union, and a United States Post Office.</p><br>
<p>In 1932, radio station KRKD erected two self-supporting broadcast towers on the Arcade&#39;s roof, each of which supported an AM "hammock" antenna for 1150 kHz. In 1940, twelve Brunswick bowling lanes were installed in the building, and in 1946, the post office in the building closed, as its rent had increased 6000% by that time, from $1 per year in 1925 to $6,000 per year.</p><br>
<p>In 1953, the block-long space under the Arcade was proposed as an underground garage.</p><br>
<h4>Decline and renovation</h4><br>
<p>By 1977, the Broadway-Spring Arcade was noted as being under-utilized and vacant, and it was considered for conversion to low and moderate-income housing for the elderly. In 1979, the Broadway Theater and Commercial District and Spring Street Financial District were added to the National Register of Historic Places, with this building listed as a contributing property in both districts,</p><br>
<p>In 2002, Wade Killefer of Killefer Flammang Architects announced a $15 million plan to turn the property into 142 loft-style apartments, and in 2010, Hellen completed a $34-million conversion of this and the Jewelry Trades Building to residential.</p><br>
<p>In 2014, the building was awarded $20,788 through the Bringing Back Broadway initiative to illuminate the arch above its Broadway entrance. Also in 2014, an application to remove the radio towers from atop the building was rejected, as they are considered historic landmarks. They were subsequently painted and lighted to comply with Federal Aviation Administration regulations.</p><br>
<p>The buildings now feature apartments and a mix of ground floor retail, restaurants, cafes, and bars.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture and design</h2><br>
<p>Broadway-Spring Arcade was built of concrete, brick, and stone with terra cotta and wrought iron ornamentation and features a Spanish Renaissance design on its lower floors, a Beaux Arts design on its upper floors, and an Ionic column colonnade on its top floor. The overall design was meant to resemble London&#39;s Burlington Arcade.</p><br>
<p>The arcade itself measures 826 by 26 feet and is covered with a glass-roofed skylight. The arcade&#39;s entrances are shaped by thin twisted and beaded columns that rise into delicate arches. A Venetian-styled bridge that spans the center of the arcade was a later addition.</p><br>
<p>St. Augustine&#39;s Episcopal Church in Gary, Indiana, is a historically black congregation and building in the Episcopal Diocese of Northern Indiana. The congregation was chartered in 1927, and the building, constructed in 1958, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2013 after being nominated for listing by parishioner Paula M. DeBois.</p><br>
<h2>Congregation</h2><br>
<p>The historically black parish was chartered in 1927 by thirty African American professionals as a Colored Episcopal Mission. St. Augustines original home was at 19th and Adams in Garys Midtown section in an old Roman Catholic Mission building. The first service in the congregation&#39;s new home was held on May 8, 1959.</p><br>
<p>Initially the church struggled to hold regular services and maintain attendance. Only seventeen people attended the first service, and for the first decade of the congregations existence, it was only able to attract part-time priests. In 1938 Episcopal Bishop Campbell Gray assigned Benedictine monks of St. Gregorys Abbey, Three Rivers to serve the struggling mission, and they remained with the church until 1946, two years after Gray&#39;s death. A retired rector named Rev. Langendorff headed the church for the next few years until in 1951 Rev. Wallace L. Wells, spouse of Henrietta Bell Wells and newly ordained, assumed leadership.</p><br>
<p>During the 1950s many African-Americans that moved to Gary did so as part of The Great Migration, seeking employment opportunities that were kept from them in the South, and many of these newly relocated African-Americans joined St. Augustines. With this influx, the congregation grew enough so that by 1955, the church was growing too large to remain in its rented Catholic Mission home. While inquiring about a pipe organ to use in services, the organ sales representative suggested the congregation ask Edward D. Dart, now known as a prolific architect, to design a new building for the congregation. Dart had designed many residential homes in suburban Chicago and had designed one other church in 1953 (St. Michaels Episcopal Church in Barrington, Illinois) before St. Augustine&#39;s. Though having Dart design the building is significant in and of itself, the fact that the congregation was able to commission his services is even more significant since they were an African American congregation and Dart was white, a rare combination during segregation.</p><br>
<p>Dart was asked to design a building with a budget of $120,000, which the church was able to afford thanks to a $45,000 cash fund and a $20,000 grant from the National Council of the Protestant Church. Darts initial design far exceeded this budget with large, ornate stained glass windows that cost $10,000 each, and the parish swiftly rejected it, preferring a more modest, minimalist design. Drawing upon this information, Dart produced a second custom design that was eventually agreed to by the congregations leadership after discussions that lasted several years.</p><br>
<p>A new building was constructed from Darts designs in 1958 at the corner of 19th and Ellsworth in the Tolleston section of Gary, and immediately attracted widespread recognition. In 1960 the building won awards from the American Institute of Architects and the Church Architectural Guild. Several magazines and newspapers including the Chicago Tribune ran articles about the building shortly after its completion due to its perceived architectural beauty, but few mentioned the fact that the congregation it housed was African American. Most of the pictures published about the building omitted any of the churchs members.</p><br>
<p>St. Augustine&#39;s advanced to parish status in 1961, a full two years after the new building was completed.</p><br>

<h2>Building</h2><br>
<p>Designed by renowned Mid-Century Modern architect Edward D. Dart, FAIA in 1958, the architecturally significant church garnered two architectural awards shortly after its construction. St. Augustines successfully employs the use of Indiana limestone, wood and stained glass clerestory windows. The building was the first of Darts commissioned designs to be nominated to the National Register of Historic Places; it was listed on September 18, 2013. The building was also given a $2,000 African American Heritage Grant from Indiana Landmarks to aid it in its preservation efforts.</p><br>

<p>The Hutchinson House is the oldest identified house on Edisto Island, South Carolina associated with the black community after the American Civil War. It was the residence of Henry Hutchinson, a freedman who was a noteworthy post-war Sea Island Cotton planter.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Following the Civil War, Jim Hutchinson worked to assemble groups of freed blacks who would collectively purchase land on Edisto Island. Each contributor then received a fractional interest in the lands acquired. Jim Hutchinsons children built their own homes and farms on the land Jim had acquired. One of his children was Henry Hutchinson. Henry Hutchinsons house is the only one remaining. Henry Hutchinson is said to have built the house at the time of his marriage to Rosa Swinton in 1885 and resided here until his death in 1940. This home, like many other homes built during that time, reflected the pride and independence for the new black farmers and the Edisto community after the Civil War. This custom well-crafted home was built barely 20 years after the Civil War ended by Henry Hutchinson, his half-brother Jack Miller, and their uncle John Pearson Hutchinson (who was an unlicensed black architect).</p><br>
<p>Henry was a noteworthy post-war Sea Island Cotton planter and was recorded in the News and Courier in 1905 & 1909 as having brought the first bag to the Charleston market for several years running. Henry consigned his crop to Dill, Ball & Company who was his factor. Henry owned and operated a cotton gin on the island from about 1900 into the 1920s. The gin was located in a cotton house adjacent to his home. The cotton house was formerly a part of Clark Plantation and adjacent to the Clark Plantation house. Henry purchased and refurbished the building after the Civil War. The cotton gin he operated was notably a McCarthy gin powered by a coal-fired steam engine. Henry ginned his own Sea Island Cotton crop and the cotton produced by other freedmen on Edisto Island from about 1900 into the 1920s. Henry consigned not only his own crop but that of his neighbors whose cotton he ginned, acting as an intermediary for sales and loans for his neighbors and Dill, Ball & Co. When the Boll Weevil destroyed the crops viability on Edisto in the early 1920s, Henry continued to plant the cash crop in some capacity and was recorded in the Charleston Evening Post on June 8, 1930, as having grown the first cotton blossoms of the year for South Carolina. The Hutchinson House is considered one of many symbols of hard work, self-reliance, and success for Edisto&#39;s emerging African American community.</p><br>
<h2>Preservation</h2><br>
<p>The house was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1987. The house and property were purchased by the Edisto Island Open Land Trust, a local non-profit land conservation organization, in 2016. EIOLT began stabilization of the structure in 2017 by installing heavy beams to support the structures fragile walls. In the next phase of restoration, the structures porch and detailing will be restored. Restoration is expected to be complete by 2022 depending on funding.</p><br>
<p>The Sheffield Downtown Commercial Historic District is a historic district in downtown Sheffield, Alabama. The buildings in the district were mostly built from 1888 to 1959 and have served a variety of purposes. Significant commercial buildings in the district include the Sheffield Hardware Company building, the Blake Building, and the Montgomery Block. Many of the city&#39;s important government buildings, including the Fire Department-City Hall building, Chamber of Commerce, and post office, are also part of the district. Various architectural styles can be seen in the district, including Renaissance Revival, High Victorian Gothic, and Moderne. The district was added to the National Register of Historic Places on May 24, 2010.</p><br>
<p>The Salters Plantation House is a house in Williamsburg County, South Carolina. The building has been cited by the National Register Sites in South Carolina as an "important example" of domestic architecture from the 19th century that combined architectural trends from local, regional and national regions.</p><br>
<p>William Salters constructed the building just before he died in 1833 and it has been improved on several occasions. The influence in the Greek Revival coexists minutely with its symmetrical I-house pattern. The front "rain porch" is a regional feature. Outbuildings are located behind the main house. The house was constructed for a citizen who gained success as a planter and was an important resident of Williamsburg District in its first years. It was added to the United States National Register of Historic Places on June 2, 2000.</p><br>
<p>The Saint Mary Ranger Station  is a ranger station in Glacier National Park in the USA state of Montana. The log cabin was built in 1913 on the east side of the park overlooking Upper Saint Mary Lake. The oldest administrative structures in the park., it features an architecture that foreshadows the National Park Service Rustic style.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Saint Mary Ranger Station was built in 1913 by the district&#39;s first resident ranger, with the assistance of local residents, three years before the National Park Service was established while the park was being directly administered by the Department of the Interior. The barn, as a building moved from its original site, is not included under the historic designation.</p><br>
<p>The cabin was stabilized in 1972 and placed on a new concrete foundation. Further restoration was undertaken in 1975 in preparation for the 1976 United States Bicentennial. The interior was restored to its presumed original configuration, and interior sheathing was replaced. Restoration guidance and furnishings were provided by Mrs. Chance Beebe, who lived at the station 1918-1919 when her husband Chance was a ranger at Saint Mary.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The ranger station is a 26 ft by 26 ft cabin, 1-1/2 stories high with a front gable and a lean-to porch across the front. The cabin originally rested on wood piles. The walls are of rounded log construction, squared on the inside and then sheathed with beaded panels for the interior finish. There are three rooms on the cabin&#39;s main level: a living room in the front and a bedroom and kitchen in the back. The attic is an unfinished space, reached by an enclosed stairway from the living space below. An excavated root cellar is under the kitchen. The 1-1/2 story high log construction at the gable ends is unusual in a building of this type, where the triangular gable areas are usually filled in with framing and shingles.</p><br>
<p>A 1932 lean-to addition containing a bathroom and storage area was demolished in the 1977 renovation. A number of outbuildings that formerly existed around the cabin were removed during the 1970s.</p><br>
<p>The Lubec barn, that presently stands as an outbuilding on the Saint Mary Ranger Station site, came from the Lubec Ranger Station formerly located in the proximity of the Lubec trailhead about 7 miles south of East Glacier. In summer 1977, the barn was deconstructed at the Lubec Ranger Station site as part of an historical restoration project led by Montclair State College faculty member, Harrison Goodall, two family members, and 15 students. The disassembled barn was transported to and reassembled piece-by-piece on a new stone/concrete foundation at the Saint Mary Ranger Station site. The project took two weeks for disassembly, tagging and recording, and transportation of logs and other original construction materials. Only hand tools were used for reconstruction, which took about four weeks. Approximately eight replacement logs were tagged with "1977" plates. The Lubec barn is larger than the original Saint Mary barn, 19 ft by 26 ft versus 15 ft by 18 ft.</p><br>
<p>The Saint Mary Ranger Station was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on February 14, 1986.</p><br>
<p>The Crocketts Bluff Hunting Lodge is a historic hunting lodge in Crocketts Bluff, Arkansas. The lodge is symbolic of the hunting industry in the Grand Prairie of Arkansas, which is known for its plentiful duck and fish. The first lodge at this site was built in 1938 by Sam Fullerton, who owned the Bradley Lumber Company. Used primarily during duck hunting season, the lodge served to entertain Fullertons customers in the lumber industry. In 1955, the original lodge burned down, and Fullertons grandson S. Baker Fullerton built the present lodge in 1956 using native wood. The lodge became the property of the Potlatch Lumber Company in 1958 when it bought the Bradley Lumber Company; it was later purchased by the Frank Lyon Company in 1970, which used the lodge for duck hunting and fishing. On August 1, 2008, the lodge was added to the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>Marshlands Plantation House, in Charleston, South Carolina, is an historic plantation house that was built in 1810 and listed in the National Register of Historic Places on March 30, 1973. It is a -story Federal-style plantation home. The house was relocated in the 1960s from its original location on the site of the United States Navy Shipyard. The Navy had announced it would have to demolish the empty house if it could not be relocated with the $15,000 the Navy had set aside for the purpose. The City of Charleston took temporary possession of the house, transferring it to the College of Charleston which relocated it for preservation to James Island.</p><br>
<p>Prospect Hill is an historic plantation house on Edisto Island, South Carolina. The two-story Federal house is significant for its architecture and ties to the production of sea island cotton. Constructed about 1800 for Ephraim Baynard, it sits on a bluff overlooking the South Edisto River. In 1860, William Grimball Baynard owned Prospect Hill. Baynard was an elder in the Edisto Island Presbyterian Church, a Justice of the Peace, a Justice of the Quorum, and the owner of 220 slaves. When Baynard died in 1861, his son William G. Baynard acquired the house. The house was listed in the National Register of Historic Places on 28 November 1986.</p><br>
<p>In 1999, Prospect Hill was bought by the Nature Conservancy of South Carolina for $5.75 million with plans to conserve the 1200 acres along the South Edisto River. The prior owner was a real estate development company which had intended to develop the property. The house was then resold to private homeowners who restored it.</p><br>
<p>The First United Methodist Church, once the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, is a historic church at Main and Center Sts. in Bald Knob, Arkansas. It is a single story frame structure, finished in brick, that was built in 1927 with a distinctive blend of Craftsman and Tudor Revival elements. Its gable end is finished in half-timbered stucco, with a projecting bay of diamond-pane windows.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.</p><br>
<p>The Camp Methodist Church is a historic Methodist church on Arkansas Highway 9 in Camp, Arkansas. The church was built in 1878 to serve the Camp Methodist Congregation; it was constructed by local carpenters in a vernacular style with Gothic Revival features. A school operated in the church building until 1914. In the 1980s, church services were briefly cancelled due to the shrinking congregation; former church members rehabilitated the church in 1983, after which services began again. The church was added to the National Register of Historic Places on May 9, 1997.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1997.</p><br>
<p>The Seashore Farmers&#39; Lodge No. 767 is an historic building in coastal South Carolina that was erected to house a fraternal lodge for African-Americans. The Lodge was built about 1915 by local black farmers. Their organization provided insurance, advice, and burial assistance to members, and the structure was the headquarters for the outfit. In 1953, a new pavilion opened at nearby Mosquito Beach, and the Lodge fell into disuse.</p><br>
<h2>Restoration and recognition</h2><br>
<p>In 2007, the Lodge had been vacant for a decade and was in near ruinous condition. The Town of James Island agreed to contribute $50,000 toward the restoration of the building. In 2009, a restoration of the Lodge was undertaken at a cost of about $100,000 including the recreation of a missing porch. The Lodge was added to the National Register on October 3, 2007, as a significant illustration of the importance of fraternal orders in the cultural life of the lowcountry African-American community in the early twentieth century.</p><br>
<p>The Lodge has a lateral gable roof of raised-seam tin with exposed rafters, wood clapboarding, concrete piers, and windows with wooden full-panel shutters as simple openings.</p><br>
<p>The First United Methodist Church of Glendale, formerly known as the First Methodist Episcopal Church of Glendale in historical documents, is a United Methodist church located at 7102 N. 58th Dr. in downtown Glendale, Arizona, and was built during 1928–29. Its sanctuary, with its linked administration wing, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2006 for its architecture.</p><br>
<p>It is an east-facing Gothic Revival style church with a projected entryway through a Gothic arch. A castellated bell tower rises on its north side. It is connected to the south to a previously-built brick administration wing (1923) by an enclosed porch and a loggia. Its exterior walls are brick, with occasional clinker brick accents, and it has cast stone details.</p><br>
<p>The sanctuary was designed by Los Angeles architectural firm G.A. Faithful and L.B. Baker. It was built by local contractor W.M. Mullen "with ample labor provided by church volunteers."</p><br>
<p>The church had previously begun building a different, "elaborate" Gothic Revival sanctuary, designed by local architect M.L. Fitzhugh, but this proved too expensive to complete. The effort was abandoned, and then the work was renovated to provide administrative offices, creating what is now the administration wing.</p><br>
<p>The sanctuary has a gable-end front facing east and is approximately 46 ft by 86 ft; the bell tower at its northeast corner is about 6 ft by 12 ft; the administration building, one story over a raised basement, is about 60 ft by 90 ft.</p><br>
<p>The sanctuary and administration building combination was listed as First Methodist Episcopal Church of Glendale Sanctuary on the National Register. Other buildings on the property include classrooms, a Fellowship Hall, and utility buildings, none of which are included in the NRHP listing.</p><br>
<p>The First Methodist Episcopal Church of Delta, located at 199 E. Fifth St. in Delta, Colorado, was built in 1910 in the Tudor Revival style. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991. Its parsonage was included as a second contributing building in that listing, and reflects Bungalow/Craftsman architecture. The church has also been known as First Methodist Church of Delta and as Delta United Methodist Church.</p><br>
<p>It was designed by Samuel A. Bullard of Springfield, Illinois architects Bullard & Bullard, or, rather, plans were bought from that company.</p><br>
<p>Fort Dobbs was an 18th-century fort in the Yadkin–Pee Dee River Basin region of the Province of North Carolina, near what is now Statesville in Iredell County. Used for frontier defense during and after the French and Indian War, the fort was built to protect the American settlers of the western frontier of North Carolina, and served as a vital outpost for soldiers. Fort Dobbs&#39; primary structure was a blockhouse with log walls, surrounded by a shallow ditch, and by 1759, a palisade. It was intended to provide protection from French-allied Native Americans such as the Shawnee raids into western North Carolina.</p><br>
<p>The fort&#39;s name honored Arthur Dobbs, the Royal Governor of North Carolina from 1755 to 1765, who played a role in designing the fort and authorized its construction. Between 1756 and 1761, the fort was garrisoned by a variable number of soldiers, many of whom were sent to fight in Pennsylvania and the Ohio River Valley during the French and Indian War. On February 27, 1760, the fort was the site of an engagement between Cherokee warriors and Provincial soldiers that ended in a victory for the Provincials.</p><br>
<p>Fort Dobbs was abandoned in March, 1761, and disappeared from the landscape. Archaeology and historical research led to the discovery of the forts exact location and probable appearance. The site on which the fort sat is now operated by North Carolinas Division of State Historic Sites and Properties as Fort Dobbs State Historic Site. The reconstruction of the fort was completed on September 21, 2019.</p><br>
<h2>Background</h2><br>
<h3>Settlement of the Carolina back-country</h3><br>
<p>In 1747, approximately 100 men of suitable age to serve in the colonial militia lived in North Carolina west of present-day Hillsborough. Within three years, North Carolinas frontier population increased, driven by the immigration of Scots-Irish, England, and German settlers traveling from Pennsylvania on the Great Wagon Road. By 1754, six western counties—Orange, Granville, Johnston, Cumberland, Anson, and Rowan—held around 22,000 residents out of the colonys total population of 65,000.</p><br>
<h3>Construction</h3><br>
<p>In 1755, Governor Arthur Dobbs ordered the construction of a fortified log structure for the protection of settlers in Rowan County from French-allied Native American attacks. Dobbs stated in a letter on August 24, 1755, to the Board of Trade that the fort was needed "to assist the back settlers and be a retreat to them as it was beyond the well settled Country, only straggling settlements behind them, and if I had placed beyond the Settlements without a fortification they might be exposed, and be no retreat for the Settlers, and the Indians might pass them and murder the Inhabitants, and retire before they durst go to give them notice". The new frontier settlements required regular protection. Furthermore, Governor Dobbs was concerned for his own investments, as he owned more than 200,000 acre of land on the Rocky River, approximately 15 mi south of the Fourth Creek Meeting House.</p><br>
<p>The North Carolina Legislature set aside a sum of £1000 for the construction of the fort in October 1755. Provincial soldiers, known by the shortened name "Provincials", were soldiers raised, clothed, and paid by the individual thirteen colonies, although they were at various times armed and supplied by the Crown. The total cost of the fort was only £1,000. By comparison, Fort Stanwix in New York, begun in 1758 in a then-modern star fort style, cost £60,000 to erect, while the construction of Fort Prince George in South Carolina cost that province&#39;s House of Commons £3,000.</p><br>
<p>Dobbs likely had a role in designing the fort, as he had designed at least one other fort in North Carolina, as well as a number of structures in Ireland. Hugh Waddell, who had close ties to Governor Dobbs and commanded the "Frontier Company" of Provincial soldiers in 1755, oversaw construction of the fort. The land on which the fort was located was a part of a 560 acre tract owned first by one James Oliphant, then by a Fergus Sloan. Part of the same tract was used for the Fourth Creek Congregation Meeting House (so named because the settlement was on the fourth creek one would pass traveling west on the South Yadkin River from Salisbury) in 1755, which was the principal structure around which the modern city of Statesville was founded. After construction was completed, it was the only military installation on the colonial frontier between Virginia and South Carolina.</p><br>
<h3>Description and effectiveness</h3><br>
<p>By October 1756, Waddell had substantially completed construction on the fort. Francis Brown and future governor Richard Caswell, commissioners appointed by Dobbs to inspect frontier defenses, wrote the following report to the North Carolina General Assembly on December 21, 1756:</p><br>
<p>The commissioners generally found the defenses of the rest of the North Carolina frontier to be inadequate. In 1756, the North Carolina General Assembly petitioned King George II for assistance, stating that the frontier remained in a relatively defenseless state. The address to the king further noted that after the fall of Fort Oswego to the French and their native allies in that year, the legislators did not believe that Fort Dobbs would provide a substantial defensive advantage. Settlers west of the Yadkin River were subjected to regular attacks so that between 1756 and 1759, even after the construction of Fort Dobbs, the population of settlers in the area declined from approximately 1,500 to 800.</p><br>
<p>In 1759, Waddell ordered six swivel guns for use Of Fort Dobbs. Oral tradition in Iredell County holds that two such swivel guns were mounted at Fort Dobbs, but evidence of the exact quantity present at the fort has not been conclusively established.</p><br>
<h2>Use and conflict</h2><br>
<h3>Early uses</h3><br>
<p>Between 1756 and 1760, Fort Dobbs was used as a base of operations for Provincial soldiers. Dobbs also employed Waddell and the fort to conduct diplomacy with the province&#39;s native neighbors. The governor gave specific instructions on July 18, 1756, in a letter sent from New Bern to Waddell and two other men, stating:</p><br>
<p>In addition to warning nearby natives against attacking settlers in the Carolinas, Dobbs also charged Waddell with attempting to keep peace with the Catawba. In one instance, Dobbs instructed Waddell to turn over a settler who had killed a Catawba hunter in order to placate the hunters tribesmen, in the event assurances that the settler would be brought to justice under the provinces laws did not persuade the Catawba to remain friendly with North Carolina.</p><br>
<p>In 1756, Dobbs also approved the construction of another fort, this time in lands claimed by the Catawba, as well as both Carolinas, near modern-day Fort Mill, South Carolina. Workmen under Waddells command began construction in 1756, but in 1757, Catawba leaders, influenced by South Carolina Governor William Lyttelton, informed North Carolinas government that they no longer wished for this second fort to be built, and construction of the second fort was permanently halted.</p><br>
<p>The forts garrison fluctuated yearly. Initially, a 50-man company under Captain Waddell manned the fort. The colony raised two fifty-man companies in 1756 for service on the frontier; Waddells was to build the Catawba Fort, while Captain Andrew Baileys garrisoned Fort Dobbs. With construction of the Catawba fort halted In mid-1757, Waddells 50-man company was added to the garrison. 1758 saw all of North Carolina&#39;s troops sent to Pennsylvania to participate in the Forbes Campaign. The fort was garrisoned by two 30-man companies at the outbreak of the Anglo-Cherokee War in 1759. By the time of the February, 1760 attack on the fort, only one 30-man company was serving at Fort Dobbs.</p><br>
<h3>Decline and fall of Anglo-Cherokee relations</h3><br>
<p>During the Anglo-Cherokee War of 1759–1761, the fort served as the base for a soldiers tasked with repelling Cherokee raids in the western portion of the province. The Anglo-Cherokee War began in 1759 after the capture of Fort Duquesne by the British and their native allies, including the Cherokee. The Cherokee had felt slighted by General Forbess inept diplomacy. The Cherokee wished to be treated as allies, while Forbes treated them like enlisted soldiers. Additionally, as many as 40 Cherokee were murdered by Virginia militia in the area around modern-day Roanoke, Virginia. Some of the Virginians attempted to sell the massacred Cherokee warriors scalps to the government of Virginia as the scalps of Shawnee warriors (for which the Virginian Assembly had set a bounty), an act that infuriated the Cherokee. When they returned home, the Lower Settlement Cherokee discovered that settlers encroached well beyond the border established between Cherokee and South Carolina that had been set by the 1747 treaty at Long Cane Creek (west of modern-day Greenwood, South Carolina). This elevated Cherokee concern that vital hunting grounds would be permanently lost.</p><br>
<p>In addition to the murders in Virginia, settlers in both North and South Carolina murdered Cherokee men and women. In one instance, a North Carolina hunter named Hamilton and his friend encountered two Cherokee hunters on Brushy Mountain (Brushy Mountains, North Carolina). Hamilton invited the Cherokee to camp with him. While they slept, Hamilton and his friend butchered the Cherokee hunters with axes. They then murdered a white settler, then claimed they killed the two responsible Cherokee.</p><br>
<p>All the while, a few pro-French Cherokee leaders pushed for violent actions against American settlers, despite the opposition of several Cherokee leaders.</p><br>
<h3>War comes to Fourth Creek</h3><br>
<p>In order to obtain justice for their brethren murdered in late 1758 and early 1759, Cherokee warriors attacked settlements on the Yadkin and Catawba Rivers against the wishes of Cherokee leaders such as Attakullakulla. In April and May, 1759, as many as 40 men, women and children were killed, and many scalped. Several lived in the Fourth Creek Settlement, within 10 miles of Fort Dobbs. This violence damaged peace talks between Attakullakulla and South Carolina governor William Lyttelton, who considered the territory west of the Yadkin River in North Carolina to be within South Carolina&#39;s sphere of influence. The violence committed by the Cherokee against American settlers continued, which in turn caused the colonial authorities to seek better relations with the Creek and Catawba nations. The Catawba, who were allied to the provinces of North and South Carolina, were only able to provide minimal assistance to the settlers, as that tribe had been decimated by smallpox in 1759 and early 1760.</p><br>
<p>All remaining goodwill was lost between Lyttelton&#39;s government in Charleston, the North Carolinan government, and the pro-peace Cherokee when Lyttelton ordered the detention of several peace delegations led by headmen Oconostota, Tistoe, and "Round O", despite having previously guaranteed them safe passage. Lyttelton had the delegations shackled, put under armed guard, and secured them at Fort Prince George. A peace arrangement was agreed upon in December, 1759, although the Cherokee agreed under duress, and the pro-war faction of the Cherokee did not obey its terms. Several of the signatories for the Cherokee intended to disavow their promises as soon as they were able, in order to seek retribution for the capture of their peace delegations.</p><br>
<p>Full-blown war broke out across the Carolina frontier by January, 1760. Ensigns Coytmore and Bell of Fort Prince George, along with some soldiers, raped several Cherokee women in Estatoe, including the wife of Seroweh, a pro-peace leader. Between January and February, 1760, more than 77 settlers on the Carolina frontier were killed by Cherokee war parties, and the settlement boundaries of North Carolina had been effectively pushed back by more than 100 miles. Many of the Cherokee captives held at Fort Prince George were murdered in their jail cells in mid-February, 1760 after an attempt was made to rescue them. Coytmore, the commanding officer of that fort who was much maligned by the Cherokee, was killed. Lyttelton, who was soon appointed Governor of Jamaica, requested assistance from Dobbs, but North Carolina&#39;s militia could not be convinced to serve outside of its home province due to long-standing custom.</p><br>
<h3>Battle</h3><br>
<p>The fort&#39;s sole engagement occurred when a band of Cherokee warriors attacked on the night of February 27, 1760. Waddell described the action in an official report to the Governor on February 29, 1760:</p><br>
<p>At around the same time as this attack occurred, Cherokee war parties attacked Fort Loudoun, Fort Prince George, and Ninety-Six, South Carolina. After this wave, Cherokee war parties continued to threaten Bethabara in the Wachovia Tract, Salisbury, and other settlements in the Yadkin, Catawba, Dan River, and Broad river basins. The threat to the western Piedmont prevented North Carolina from sending troops outside of the colony.</p><br>
<p>The frontier became quiet in May, 1760. Colonel Archibald Montgomerie, 11th Earl of Eglinton led a force of 1737 British Soldiers on a punitive campaign against the Cherokee. Hampered by South Carolinas unwillingness to assist, his troops slowly made their way west, attacking and burning 10 Cherokee Towns between June 2 and 3rd. He sought to negotiate a peace with the Cherokee, but was undermined by a local trader. On July 24, Montgomeries troops began their march north, and were defeated three days later in the Battle of Echoee Pass.</p><br>
<p>The following year, in 1761, North Carolinas General Assembly voted to raise a regiment of 500 soldiers. These men were to join Virginia Provincials in south western Virginia for a joint campaign against the Cherokee Overhill Towns. Simultaneously, Lt Col. James Grant, 4th of Ballindalloch led a force of nearly 2800 British and South Carolina Provincial Soldiers, and Native American Allies in a second attack of the Cherokee Middle Settlements. Grants campaign burned 18 Cherokee towns between June 10 and July 3, 1761. The homes and food of approximately 5,000 Cherokee men, women, and children were destroyed.</p><br>
<p>Largely recruited and waiting in Salisbury by July, the North Carolina Provincial Regiment did not receive their uniforms and weapons until September while at Fort Dobbs. The troops finally joined Virginians at the Long Island (Tennessee) in October, 1761. However, the destruction of Grant&#39;s Campaign forced the Cherokee to sue for peace, making the second invasion pointless.</p><br>
<h3>Post-war history</h3><br>
<p>With the Anglo-Cherokee War ended, North Carolina refused to fund troops to garrison Fort Dobbs. Walter Lindsay, a local militia captain, served as caretaker for the fort. He and his assistants ensured the fort and its stockpile of arms were maintained for use should the need arise. As time passed, the frontier of North Carolina continued to push westward. On March 7, 1764, the North Carolina General Assembly&#39;s Committee on Public Claims recommended to Governor Dobbs that stores and supplies be removed from the fort to spare the government further expense in upkeep. In 1766, the fort was described as rotting and collapsing.</p><br>
<h2>Site preservation and archaeology</h2><br>
<p>The Fort Dobbs site, facing Fort Dobbs Road; note the "cellar", meaning the depression in the center of the site.</p><br>
<p>Archaeological exploration of the site first occurred in 1847, when a group of local residents attempted to locate a rumored original cannon on the site. Evidence of this dig was discovered in the 21st century in a later archaeological study. In 1909, local residents established the Fort Dobbs Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution. That same year, the owners of the parcel of land on which the Fort Dobbs site was located donated 1,000 ft&sup2; containing the fort&#39;s remains to the Fort Dobbs Chapter. By 1910, the Chapter erected a stone marker at the site, and in 1915, it purchased the 10 acres of land surrounding the original donated parcel. In 1969, the North Carolina General Assembly appropriated $15,000 to purchase the property, to be matched by funds raised locally by the Iredell County Historical Society; these purchases were made in 1971 and 1973. By 1976, the land was opened as a historic site.</p><br>
<p>By 2006, archaeologists and historical researchers had determined the exact location of Fort Dobbs, and had located the post-hole foundations of the former log structure. Excavation began in 1967, and by 1968, the site of the fort was confirmed. In 1967, Stanley South, an archaeologist and proponent of processual archaeology, discovered that by overlaying a transparency depicting a survey of the Fort Dobbs site done in the mid-18th-century on a modern aerial photograph, evidence of the surveyed lines could still be discerned in the modern terrain. Additionally, excavations revealed a moat that surrounded the blockhouse, as well as trash in the moat contemporary with the fort. Early archaeological work concentrated specifically on the moat and a depression called the "cellar", which South believed served as a storage space in the middle of the fort grounds, and which later researchers believe was directly underneath the blockhouse. Archaeological work has unearthed evidence of a palisade surrounding the blockhouse, in a similar fashion to other French and Indian War-era forts such as Fort Shirley near Heath, Massachusetts, and Fort Prince George.</p><br>
<p>In 2006, a researcher affiliated with East Carolina University, Lawrence Babits, presented a study and a reconstruction plan that has been accepted by the Friends of Fort Dobbs, the 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that supports the site, and the North Carolina Department of Cultural Resources. In his plan, Babits postulated that Dobbs most likely played a role in designing the fort, basing the design on forts with which Dobbs had first-hand experience as an administrator in Scotland, such as Bernera Barracks near Glenelg and Ruthven Barracks near Kingussie. From these comparisons, the contemporary description of the fort, and the soil record, Babits concluded that the "opposite angles" described by Francis Brown in 1756 actually referred to "flankers", or square wooden structures attached to the corner of the fort that would have allowed defending soldiers to shoot into the flank of any attacking forces surrounding the building.</p><br>
<h2>Historic site</h2><br>
<p>Between 2016 and 2019, Fort Dobbs was reconstructed following a fundraising campaign by the Friends of Fort Dobbs, a non profit organization which supports Fort Dobbs State Historic Site. The Grand Opening on September 21, 2019, was attended by nearly 2000 visitors. The replica is fully furnished to appear as though soldiers walked out just before visitors walked in.</p><br>
<p>Yearly attendance at the site is about 20,000 people. The staff offers guided tours year round, Tuesday - Saturday. Several times a year, the site hosts living history events exploring the lives of the soldiers, civilians, and Native Americans whose lives crossed on the hilltop more than two and a half centuries ago.</p><br>
<p>Egglinton Hall is a historic home located in Milford, Sussex County, Delaware. The house was constructed by Henry Egglinton circa 1790 and is noted for its Greek Revival features, particularly the two-story porch added in 1828. Reverend Truston P. McColley, a significant figure in Sussex County history, lived in the house from 1828 until 1874. McColley preached and led Methodist churches around Milford; he was also a successful businessman who helped start the peach industry in southern Delaware and organized a railroad in Milford. In addition, McColley served as president of the 1852 Delaware Constitutional Convention.</p><br>
<p>Egglinton Hall was added to the National Register of Historic Places on January 7, 1983.</p><br>
<p>The Flushing Meadows Carousel is a carousel located in Flushing Meadows-Corona Park in the New York City borough of Queens. It contains four rows of figures, including 64 jumping horses, 7 standing horses, 1 menagerie animal , and 2 chariots. It was created to serve patrons of the 1964 New York World&#39;s Fair by combining two earlier carousels, both of which were carved in Coney Island in the first decade of the twentieth century by renowned carver Marcus Illions. During the fair, it stood on a nearby site within the park, and it was moved to its present site in 1968, where it has remained in service ever since.</p><br>
<p>In 2016 it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>Coney Island predecessors</h2><br>
<p>The two predecessor carousels were the Feltmans Carousel (1903) and the Stubbman Carousel (1908), both of which were created for amusement operators in Coney Island. 47 horses and the frame are from the Stubbman Carousel, and 24 horses are from the Feltmans Carousel.</p><br>
<p>While Coney Island has seen resurgence since 2000, it had been busy during the Great Depression and had over twenty carousels spinning at once. The Feltmans Carousel had a restaurant and beer garden that occupied the site where the Luna Park currently sits, approximately between Jones Walk and West 10th Street. The carousel was indoors but faced Surf Avenue. The “Flying Horses” catalogue issued in 1970 by Rol and Jo Summit noted that some of the horses on Feltmans carousel were left over from an earlier Looff carousel that caught fire, probably around 1899 or 1900. Feltmans carousel is regarded by some as Marcus Illions masterpiece.</p><br>
<p>The Stubbman Carousel was located at West 6th Street and Surf Avenue. It was part of the Stubbmans Beer Garden, which sat adjacent to the Hotel Eleanor. The site is currently occupied by the New York Aquarium. The Stubbman machine had 64 horses and spun in Stubbmans Beer Garden until 1953, when it was moved near Steeplechase Park and operated as an independent concession. The Summit article said that the Stubbman Carousel was, “commissioned by George and Henry Stubbman for their beer garden. The building housing the merry-go-round was prominently labeled, ‘Hotel Eleanor, Open All Year.’ The carousel itself was a proud addition to the Marcus-Illions stable. Its handsome Louis XIV chariots put the snake-headed, winged dragons of Feltman to shame. Some of the featured carvings were more lifelike and inventive than the Feltman horses, but the overall effect of the rim and central enclosure was less magical; the Stubbman never gained the widespread acclaim and popularity of its predecessor.”</p><br>
<p>Both carousels were carved by master carousel carver Marcus Illions. He was one of the premier carvers in the Coney Island style of carving. The creatures that came out of this style were known for flamboyance and a flair for the dramatic. They did not focus on the realism in carving, rather, the woodworkers focused on fantasy when creating their horses. The Feltman Carousel was a classic Illions design and was extremely ornate. Carousel historian Frederick Fried, author of the book A Pictorial History of the Carousel, said it was, “by far the greatest America carrousel.”. The Stubbman horses were a bit more subdued and simpler. Both frames were made by famed Coney Island ride manufacturer William F. Mangels. The Stubbman frame was eventually used on the Flushing Meadows Carousel when the two machines were combined. It has another feature rare to many carousels, slots in the floor that allow the horses to tilt outwards as the</p><br>
<p>machine picks up speed.</p><br>
<p>The Feltmans carousel spun under a few different owners. It ran from 1903 to 1954 as part Feltmans. In 1954 Dewey Albert and Nathan Handwerker bought the property, improved it, and called it Wonderland. Handwerker eventually wanted out of the deal and Albert now called the shots. He decided to build Astroland, the first phase of which opened in 1962. The carousel operated indoors until 1962 and outdoors through the 1963 season when it was packed up to make room for Astroland&#39;s 200-foot Astrotower. On January 18, 1964 Albert, in the New York Times article “’Greatest’ Carousel is Stilled at Coney Island”, said he sold it due to, “Economics. That’s the reason. The carrousel took up too much space and didn’t make enough money.”</p><br>
<h2>Carousel in Flushing Meadows</h2><br>
<p>The American Cavalcade Corporation was formed in order to put a carousel at the 1964 New York Worlds Fair. Various sources, however, give credit to different people. The website “The 1964-65 New York World’s Fair” credits John S. Rogers with forming The American Cavalcade Corporation, while the New York Times obituary of Greer Marechal, Jr., dating from 1968 credits him with the companys formation. Either way, they and other investors pulled together the company and purchased the Feltmans and Stubbmans Carousels. The original idea was to purchase the Feltman&#39;s carousel and re-open that machine, but it was in such bad shape it was quickly realized that it could not run again without a huge investment. Therefore, the Stubbman machine was purchased really for the frame and mechanical componentry. Since both frames were made by Mangels the components were typical and the Feltman creatures could be used on the Stubbman frame when the ride re-opened at the fair. Rogers said that he negotiated with a “large parcel in the Industrial Sector, near the main gate (near IBM), that became available at the last minute plan plans for an amusement park-type exhibit by H.L. Hunt was cancelled.” Rogers had an agreement with the S&H Green Stamp store, who would provide funding as the host, but that never came to fruition. This led to the carousel making its owners little money at the fair.</p><br>
<p>The carousel opened in early July offering rides at 15 cents to patrons of the World&#39;s Fair. The article “Galloping Ghost Revived for Fair” in the July 3, 1964 edition of The New York Times said: “The merry-go-round is in Carousel Park, in the fair’s Lake Amusement Area. It opens today in a setting designed to give the boardwalk atmosphere – with an actual boardwalk and small food stands.”” The boardwalk area was owned by some of the same ownership group as the carousel (incorporated as the American Carousel Corporation); they used the concessions to earn supplementary income.</p><br>
<p>According to Edward Dunne, who was involved in the project, Robert Moses had always wanted the carousel to operate permanently at Flushing Meadows-Corona Park. Three years after the fair ended the carousel was moved to its current home in the park, adjacent to the zoo.</p><br>
<p>On May 7, 2012, NY Carousel Entertainment was awarded the contract to operate both the Flushing Meadows and Forest Park Carousels. The company made cosmetic repairs to the machine, repainting it, sanding and staining the historic wooden floor, and adding new fencing to the entire area. It also added an additional family ride at the carousel, the Choo Choo, a Rio Grande Train.</p><br>

<p>Hell Gap  is a deeply stratified archaeological site located in the Great Plains of eastern Wyoming, approximately thirteen miles north of Guernsey, where an abundant amount of Paleoindian and Archaic artifacts have been found and excavated since 1959. This site has had an important impact on North American archaeology because of the large quantity and breadth of prehistoric Paleoindian and Archaic period  artifacts and cultures it encompasses. It was designated a National Historic Landmark in 2016.</p><br>
<h2>Background</h2><br>
<p>Hell Gap is host to five different localities, or independent areas of study, each with its own unique archaeological remains. It is located about 4,921 feet above sea level in a valley with a small stream nearby which was undoubtedly attractive to its prehistoric inhabitants. James Duguid and Malcolm McKnight, two archaeologists who lived in the region and went to school at the University of Wyoming, discovered the site in 1959. Since very little erosion had occurred over the last several thousand years, the site deposits were in pristine condition and the assemblages could be excavated and dated in all five localities. Excavations from 1961 to 1966, and again in 1995 and after, by archaeologists from the University of Wyoming and the George Frison Institute, have recovered vast amounts of information on Paleoindian lifeways locally, such as the preparation of bison kills and previously unknown projectile points complexes like Hell Gap and Goshen.</p><br>
<p>Hell Gap contains projectile points from Llano tradition, Clovis and Folsom, and the Plano tradition, Agate Basin, Alberta, Frederick, Goshen (Plainview), Lusk, Hell Gap, Midland and Cody complexes. Three new archaeological complexes were defined at this site, Hell Gap, Goshen (Plainview), and Frederick. Folsom complex is believed to be derived from Clovis but there has not been much radiocarbon dated evidence in stratified context between the two assemblages to determine this for certain. The Goshen complex found in Hell Gap is a possible assemblage dating to this intermediate period. The Hell Gap and Agate Basin point forms, which were also found in stratified context at Hell Gap, are the first types of the Plano tradition. The earliest calibrated dates for Hell Gap and Agate Basin complexes are from 10,200 to 9,600 B.P. The Plano tradition consists of lanceolate points that show parallel flaking and Agate Basin is the first complex exhibiting this characteristic. The term Plano was derived from the Great Plains of North America, and refers to Paleoindian cultures with a growing dependency on bison hunting. Both Agate Basin and Hell Gap points are similar in appearance but Agate Basin came before Hell Gap points by about 500 years. Agate Basin, Goshen, and Folsom complexes are found together in most Localities at the site. In Locality II however, archaeologists have found evidence of at least four different Paleoindian complexes, including the Midland, Hell Gap, Agate Basin, and Lusk cultures.</p><br>
<p>Hell Gap has offered insight into the cultural lifeways of Paleoindian peoples because of its rich artifact assemblage of faunal remains and bones, preserved domestic buildings, fireplaces, and projectiles. The structures, circles of postholes, are from some of the oldest buildings in North America, calibrated to more than 12,000 years B.P., and provide possible evidence for the early use of the tipi.</p><br>
<p>The diet of the prehistoric people living at the campsite during the early Holocene included not only bison, which was their main staple, but several other small animals as well. Berries, fish, and birds were consumed and possibly used for other purposes such as medicine or personal decoration. The composition of the assemblages illustrate the processing and transport of faunal materials, most likely including large amounts of marrow, from the kill site to the campsite. Paleoindians were using a "fat-seeking feeding strategy" while extracting valuable marrow from the bones of the bison they killed. The people residing in Hell Gap during the early Holocene were trying to maintain a diet high in fat and protein which is indicated by the amount of bison remains found in Locality II.</p><br>
<h2>Archaeologists involved</h2><br>
<p>Over the years, many archaeologists have been involved with the work at the Hell Gap site. The first two discoverers were avocationalists James Duguid and Malcolm McKnight, but professional archaeologists soon took over excavations after they showed several projectile points to George Agogino, professor of Archaeology at the University of Wyoming. Henry Irwin, Cynthia Irwin-Williams, George Agogino, John Brew, C. Vance Haynes, Jr., and H.M. Wormington worked on the project from 1962 to 1966. Their papers give a meticulous insight into the projects underpinnings including an inventory of complexes discovered, photographs, maps, thorough descriptions of stratigraphy and artifacts, and detailed sketches of lanceolate points found there.</p><br>
<p>Much of Hell Gaps modern excavation is under the purview of the George C. Frison Institute, the Wyoming Archaeological Foundation, and the University of Wyomings Anthropology Department. Since 2009, a team has been reinvestigating the Hell Gap site in hopes that it will shed light on new aspects of Paleoindian culture and prehistory. The focus of recent excavations since 2009 have been to uncover new campsites and projectile points of the Frederick, Hell Gap, and Cody assemblages and to reevaluate past descriptions to update information. George Frison was given a grant from the National Geographic Society in 1995 to collect and produce data accumulated from past excavations at Hell Gap. Much remains to be learned from Hell Gap on Paleoindian lifeways and complexes, and there are several institutes exploring and quantifying the data found there.</p><br>
<p>Cassina Point  was built in 1847 for Carolina Lafayette Seabrook and her husband, James Hopkinson. Carolina Seabrook was the daughter of wealthy Edisto Island planter William Seabrook. William Seabrook had hosted the General Lafayette in 1825 at his nearby home at the time of Carolinas birth. Seabrook gave Lafayette the honor of naming the newborn child, and the general selected Carolina  and Lafayette . When Carolina Seabrook married James Hopkinson, they built Cassina Point on the land given to them by William Seabrook.</p><br>
<p>The house is a large antebellum house and remnant of a sea island cotton plantation. James Hopkinson was a grandson of Francis Hopkinson, a signer of the Declaration of Independence from New Jersey and designer of the American flag. During the Civil War, the house was occupied by the Third New Hampshire Volunteer Infantry.</p><br>
<p>Features of the -story, rectangular house include a side-gable roof, pediments, a Flemish bond basement, brick chimneys with stuccoed necking, a roof porch supported by columns, marble mantles, and bull&#39;s-eye moulding. The interior of the house was preserved well over the years. The exterior is clad in weatherboard and flushboard. Cassina Point was added to the National Register of Historic Places on November 28, 1986.</p><br>

<p>The Middleport Public Library is a historic Carnegie library in the Ohio River village of Middleport, Ohio, United States. Built in the early twentieth century, it has been named a historic site.</p><br>
<p>Middleport was founded as "Sheffield" during the 1820s, a time of great prosperity and rapidly increasing commerce in Meigs County. Among its earliest industries was a cotton mill, built despite the lack of cotton production in the vicinity. Local residents formed the villages first public library in 1908, but its initial location on the second floor of a commercial building soon proved unsatisfactory. One year later, the librarys board contacted Andrew Carnegie&#39;s Carnegie Corporation in order to begin participating in its library construction program. Negotiations ultimately resulted in the foundation agreeing to provide the village with construction money, and the building was completed in 1912 under the direction of Athens contractor Charles Kirchner.</p><br>
<p>The Middleport library is a brick building with a tiled roof and a brick foundation. Its architecture is generally simple, although some details of the facade display a Georgian Revival architectural flavor; some of the more ornate examples are the pediment above the portico, the quoins, and the dentils underneath the pediment and the cornice. In January 1986, the library was listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It qualified for inclusion under two different criteria: its architecture, which makes the library Middleports most distinctive public building, and for its place in local history — besides its status as an example of small-town Carnegie libraries, it remained an icon of Middleports early twentieth-century community activities. The library is one of three Middleport locations on the National Register, along with the John Downing Jr. House and the William H. Grant House.</p><br>
<p>The Middleport library currently is operated as a branch of Meigs County District Public Library system.</p><br>
<p>The Reading Furnace Historic District is a national historic district that is located in Warwick Township and East Nantmeal Township, Chester County, Pennsylvania.</p><br>
<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.</p><br>
<h2>History and architectural features</h2><br>
<p>The Reading Furnace was built in 1736 by iron pioneer William Branson, then later owned by his grandson, a prominent Iron works owner and American Revolutionary War officer, Samuel Van Leer. Branson also owned the nearby historical Warrenpoint House</p><br>
<p>The furnace was a center of colonial iron making and is associated with the introduction of the Franklin Stove, and the retreat of George Washingtons army following its defeat at the Battle of Brandywine, where they came for musket repairs. Nathanael Greenes company and Washington were both recorded encamping here.</p><br>
<p>The location is listed as the site of one of George Washington&#39;s temporary headquarters. This furnace also supplied cannons and cannonballs for the Revolutionary Army.</p><br>
<p>The district includes seven contributing buildings, two contributing sites, and one contributing structure with a former iron furnace and farm. The buildings are the mansion house, the tenant house, a barn, a large shed, and three outbuildings. The stone mansion was built in three sections between 1744 and 1936. The latest addition was completed under the direction of R. Brognard Okie.</p><br>
<p>The contributing sites are the remains of an eighteenth-century dam and the foundation of the 1736 Reading Furnace. The contributing structure is a stone arch bridge (1904).</p><br>
<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.</p><br>
<p>The North Warwick Historic and Archeological District is a national historic district that is located in Warwick Township, Chester County, Pennsylvania.</p><br>
<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1995.</p><br>
<h2>History and notable features</h2><br>
<p>This district is adjacent to the Hopewell Furnace National Historic Site, and encompasses fifty-five contributing buildings, thirty-nine contributing archaeological sites, thirteen contributing structures, and one contributing object in a mineral-rich, well-forested area. Archaeological remains document prehistoric habitation dating back to 3000 BC. The contributing buildings include log and fieldstone buildings, many of which date to the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. They include two well designed Georgian-style dwellings that date to 1817 and 1822. Also located in the district are the Bethesda Church, or Lloyd&#39;s Meeting House (1782), the Pine Swamp Evangelical Church (1894), and the Monocacy Schoolhouse (1884).</p><br>
<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1995.</p><br>
<p>The Lionville Historic District is a national historic district that is located in Uwchlan Township, Chester County, Pennsylvania, United States.</p><br>
<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.</p><br>
<h2>History and architectural features</h2><br>
<p>This district includes thirty-nine contributing buildings that are located in the crossroads community of Lionville. The buildings date to the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries and include a variety of residential, commercial, and institutional buildings and outbuildings. Notable buildings include the Cadwalader House, Vaughan House, Red Lion Tavern (1740, 1815), Uwchlan Meeting House (1756), Wagonseller House, John Biedler Jr. Farmhouse (1811-1813), St. Pauls Parsonage (1813), Lionville Fire Company (1911), Joel Hawley Store (1834), Edith P. Moore School House, and former St. Pauls Lutheran Church (now known as The Nurtury).</p><br>
<p>David Lloyd was the first to sell large and small lots in the area. A Welshman and friend of William Penn, Lloyd came from Welsh Pool, and the town took that name, although a pool was never in what is now Lionville. As travelers began using the roads in Chester County, many inns were built. One was the Red Lyon Inn, identifiable in the village by its colorful sign for the many people who could not read. First a log cabin, it was rebuilt in 1725 using red brick and offered respite to drovers until 1888. While men slept in the house, cattle bedded down in lots next to the inn.</p><br>
<p>Red Lyon also became the village name until 1826 when the post office opened; however, since several towns named Red Lyon had already been established in Pennsylvania, residents chose to name their village as Lionville. Post offices at the time were located in the postmaster&#39;s private home and moved as different people became postmaster. Mail arrived once a week by horseback and, later, several times a week by stagecoach.</p><br>
<p>John Vickers&#39; homestead, northeast on Welsh Pool Road, became a notable village landmark. In 1822, his family began making pottery, using skills learned from their grandfather and father. Martha, sister of John, was the most famous. She married William Milhous in 1807, moved to Ohio, and became the great-great grandparent of Hannah Milhous Nixon, mother of President Richard Nixon.</p><br>
<p>John Vicker was also known as an abolitionist and an active member of the Underground Railroad. His father, Thomas, was an original member of the Pennsylvania Anti-Slavery Society, that was formed in Philadelphia in 1777 with Benjamin Franklin as its first president.</p><br>
<p>Lionville was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.</p><br>
<p>West Vincent Highlands Historic District is a national historic district located in Upper Uwchlan Township and West Vincent Township, Chester County, Pennsylvania.</p><br>

It was built in 1858, and is a two-story, gable front stuccoed stone temple-form building. It features a prostyle hexastyle portico, with fluted Roman Corinthian order columns. Above the portico is an octagonal clock tower. It was remodeled in 1918. Most county offices moved to a new courthouse built in 1959.</p><br>
<p>The building houses the Davidson County Historical Museum and was rededicated in 2014.</p><br>
<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1971. It is located in the Uptown Lexington Historic District.</p><br>
<p>The Thomasville Railroad Passenger Depot is a historic train station located at Thomasville, Davidson County, North Carolina. It is one of the oldest remaining frame depots in the state, built between 1870 and 1871. The board-and-batten building features Victorian sawnwork detailing. Until 1912, it served as a passenger train station with the Richmond and Danville Railroad and later the Southern Railway. Due to the increase in passenger rail travel, a new brick depot was built. This depot was then moved to the north side of the tracks and served as a freight agents office. The Southern Railway eventually gave the structure to the town. The Thomasville Historical Society raised $5,000 for its restoration in 1969. Another restoration was completed in the late 1990s. In July 2000, the Thomasville Railroad Passenger Depot became the home of the Thomasville Visitors Center.</p><br>
<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1981.</p><br>
<p>The First Unitarian Church in Berkeley, California is a former church building that was built in 1898. It was designed by Albert C. Schweinfurth, who made unconventional use of Shingle Style architecture, usually applied to homes, in designing a church. It was also highly unusual for a church building in several other ways, including the use of industrial-style metal sash windows, sections of redwood tree trunks as pillars, the strong horizontal emphasis, and a semicircular apse with a conical roof. The building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the California State Historic Resources Survey, and is a City of Berkeley Landmark. It has also been known as University Dance Studio and Bancroft Dance Studio for its current use.</p><br>
<p>Although originally outside the university grounds, it is now the second oldest building still standing on the Berkeley campus. At the time it was built, facing a block of Dana Street that no longer exists, it joined a cluster of Protestant churches that had been built since the 1870s with the encouragement of the university administration. The land was acquired by the university in 1960 through eminent domain for the construction of a student union complex.</p><br>
<p>The church was the first meeting place of the Hillside Club, formed in 1898 to promote Arts and Crafts movement principles in the growing university town.</p><br>
<p>When it was built, A. C. Schweinfurth, the architect, was well on his way to an eminent career with the patronage of the Hearst family, but this church ended up being his last project. While it was under construction, he began a two-year European tour with his wife and daughter. He came down with typhoid fever and died in September 1900.</p><br>
<p>In 1908 the congregation built an adjacent building called Unity Hall, designed by member Bernard Maybeck, which was demolished in 1965 for the construction of Zellerbach Hall. The Schweinfurth-designed building was preserved, landmarked, and restored with seismic upgrades and new shingles in 1999.</p><br>
<p>The David J. and May Bock Woodward House is a historic house in the Alta Vista district of the Bexar County city of San Antonio in the USA state of Texas. It was designated a Recorded Texas Historic Landmark in 1994. It was placed on the National Register of Historic Places listings in Bexar County, Texas on February 16, 1996.</p><br>
<p>This -story Classic revival home was designed 1904–1905 by architect Atlee Ayres for businessman David J. Woodward (1864–1925) and his wife May Bock Woodward (1866–1942). The couple flipped twenty-three homes during their married life. David built the houses, and May decorated them. Each property would eventually be sold for profit when the couple moved upward to a more expensive residence. After David Woodward died, his wife sold the house at 1717 San Pedro in 1926 to the Womans Club of San Antonio for $47,000. It is currently being used as the organizations clubhouse. The first floor of the house are the interior parlor, library with fireplace, butler&#39;s pantry, office, kitchen, powder room and dining room. When Ayres designed the house, the second floor served as living quarters with five bedrooms, bath and sitting room. Alterations made by the club converted three of the bedrooms into a single meeting room. The Woodwards intended the top floor to be a ballroom and had it designed with window box seats. Currently, it serves as storage space.</p><br>
<p>Peters Point Plantation is a historic structure located on Edisto Island, South Carolina. It was built by Isaac Jenkins Mikell in 1840 at the intersection of St. Pierre&#39;s Creek and Fishing Creek. It is located on the site General Lafayette used as a departure point from Edisto Island in 1826 during his southern tour.</p><br>
<p>The plantation house displays early Edisto Island plantation and Greek Revival styles. Mikell, a Princeton graduate, was one of the wealthiest planters in the state. He served as a magistrate and commissioner of the public schools of Edisto. The house was listed in the National Register of Historic Places on June 19, 1973.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The plantation was one of the world&#39;s largest producers of Sea Island Cotton and was as large as 2,200 acres in 1860. It had an estimated yearly ginned cotton production of approximately 70,000 pounds. Isaac Jenkins Mikell inherited the plantation in 1838 and built the plantation home in 1840. The plantation had been owned by the Mikell family since 1715.</p><br>
<p>The house is sometimes, less frequently known as the Isaac Jenkins Mikell House, but that name is much more commonly applied to the Greek Revival house Mikell built in Charleston in 1853. The house displays early Edisto Island plantation and Greek Revival styles. It reflects "the transitional stage between the functional plantation house of the early 1800s and the grandiose plantation dwellings of the 1850s." One of Mikell&#39;s projects was the landscaping of the grounds surrounding the house.</p><br>
<p>On December 21, 2009, the South Carolina Supreme Court held that a zoning plan created in 2004 that would have allowed up to 55 dwelling units to be built on the same 160-acre tract as Peters Point Plantation violated Charleston Countys master plan. Edisto Island Open Land Trust now owns a conservation easement on the Peter&#39;s Point property.</p><br>
<p>The Wilkinson-Boineau House is a significant example of an early 19th-century Greek Revival residence with minor 20th-century alterations. William Wilkinson, a planter, established a village, Wilkinsonville, about 1830 that bears his name, and the house was the first one built. He lived for most of the year at his plantation on Swinton Creek.</p><br>
<p>Milton Carroll Boineau acquired the property in the 1920s. In the 1930s, the family built a one-story addition on the back and removed part of the central hall. The house is on tall brick piers. The original part was a two-story central hall house. A hip-roofed porch along the entire front is accessed by a brick staircase. The house has square edge weatherboarding and a tall lateral gable roof. The original windows were nine-over-nine double-hung sashes, but two-over-two double-hung sashes were used to replace them in the 1930s or 1940s. The roof is corrugated metal.</p><br>
<p>The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places January 21, 1999.</p><br>

<p>The Robert E. Lee School is a historic school building located at 402 Lee Street, Paris, Henry County, Tennessee.</p><br>
<p>It was built in 1893 and added to the National Register in 1988.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Land for a new school was donated by Judge John C. Hamilton in 1848. Trustees for the Paris Male Academy contracted John Oury on August 30 of that year to construct a brick building fifty feet by thirty-two feet with eighteen inch thick outer walls. Cost upon completion was $2,470. A bell was later installed in September 1849.</p><br>
<p>Paris Male Academy operated as a private school until 1881 when it became public and renamed itself the Paris Public School. After legislation was passed affecting other schools in the city, Paris Public School became City High School, teaching ten grades, in the fall of 1891. In December of that year, the school building burned.</p><br>
<p>A movement to rebuild the school began in early 1892, which was completed and opened in September 1893 as City High School. This is the building that survives today.</p><br>
<p>The school became known as the Robert E. Lee School about 1910.</p><br>
<p>The building was used for school and classroom purposes until 1975 when new buildings were constructed elsewhere. The Paris Special School District used the building until 2001.</p><br>
<p>The Robert E. Lee School Association (RELSA), a non-profit organization, took the building over in 2001 and began restoring it with grant money and fundraising efforts. In 2003, the building became the home to the Robert E. Lee Academy for the Arts.</p><br>

<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Thomas Crawford, a wealthy mercantile in Paris, Tennessee, purchased 14 acres of land on June 6, 1848, from John B. DeWitt for $500. It is estimated that Crawford built the first part of the house on this land by 1850. At the age of twenty-six, he is recorded in the 1850 census as the second wealthiest man in Henry County, owning real estate valued at $15,500. His first two children were born in the house before he sold the property on September 27, 1855, to Mary G. Swayne for $6500.</p><br>
<p>Mary Swayne and her husband John owned the property until December 30, 1859, when it was sold to John H. Dunlap for $8500. The property was deeded to John&#39;s wife, Marietta Dunlap, on September 23, 1874.</p><br>
<p>Marrietta Beauchamp Dunlap deeded the property to her son-in-law and former Tennessee Governor James Davis Porter on February 21, 1887. After the death of Governor Porter on May 18, 1912, his widow Susan Dunlap Porter sold the property to Joel Porter. It was deeded to his wife, Lona W. Porter on January 10, 1936, and then to Joel and Lona&#39;s daughters, Margaret Porter and Mrs. Julia Woolfork, on August 1, 1955.</p><br>
<p>The Historic American Buildings Survey states that the owner of the house was Miss Margaret Porter in Summer 1972. The survey goes on to describe a change in brick pattern and floor height differences as signs that the house was built in two stages.</p><br>
