<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Catholic priests began serving the area around DeValls Bluff in the 1870s, and St. Elizabeth&#39;s was canonically established as a parish of the Diocese of Little Rock in 1904. As large Catholic immigrant communities settled in the area in the early 20th century, mostly German and Austrian farmers, the parish outgrew its first church and had the present structure built in 1912. The small parish was closed in 1986 after the death of the last parishioner, and the church was abandoned.</p><br>
<p>In 1992, local resident Mary Sharp purchased the property from the diocese, having a personal interest in the church and in the history of the region, though not a parishioner or Catholic herself. She worked for two years to get the church listed on the Arkansas Register of Historic Places, and later on the National Register.</p><br>

<p>Trinity Episcopal Cathedral is an historic church building at 310 West 17th Street in Little Rock, Arkansas, United States. It is the seat of the Diocese of Arkansas and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The fundraising for constructing the cathedral was done entirely by the Rt. Rev. Henry Niles Pierce, who was the fourth missionary bishop and the first diocesan bishop of Arkansas. He went on preaching tours on the East Coast of the United States, procured private gifts, and mortgaged his own house. The church itself was built in three stages as finances allowed.</p><br>
<p>The nave and the baptistery were completed first and the first service was held in the cathedral on October 19, 1884. On that same date the cathedral was formally established. The transept and crossing were completed in February 1889, and the altar was moved from its original position under the west window to its new position under the north transept window. The structure was finally completed when the chancel was built in time for Easter in 1892. The altar was moved permanently to the east side of the church at that time. The present altar and reredos were carved in Oberammegau and were donated in memory of Frances Blakeslee and Philander Keep Roots in 1924.</p><br>
<p>The Parish House was built in 1951, and the Cathedral House was completed two years later. The Lyman Annex was added to the cathedral complex in 1966 and the Chancellors Hall in 1981. The cathedral itself was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976. In 1987, an order for eight bells for the bell tower was placed with the Whitechapel Bell Foundry of London. They were installed the following year and are rung in the traditional English style of change ringing.</p><br>
<p>In 1998, when the Very Rev. Henry Lee Hudson was Dean, close to $5 million was spent in renovating the Cathedral proper. The Dean&#39;s Hall was erected at this time. The Muller Pipe Organ Co. of Toledo, Ohio installed a 4-manual, 82-rank pipe organ the following year.</p><br>

<p>All Souls Church is a historic church built in 1906, located on Arkansas Highway 161, and United States Route 165 in Scott, Arkansas.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The religious needs of what became the Scott community were initially met by the 1880 construction of the Old Liberty Church, which was linked to the Methodist Episcopal Church, South. This served until after the beginning of the twentieth century, when it closed, in part because of the poor roads in the area and the long distances the residents of the scattered plantations that made up the congregation had to traverse.</p><br>
<p>In October 1905, the women of Scott established a Sunday school in an old store building adjacent to the present All Souls Church. Attendance rose from seventeen to eighty in six months, leading area planters to establish a community church that would use preachers from the Methodist, Baptist, Episcopal, Presbyterian, and Christian (Disciples of Christ) denominations to officiate on a rotating basis, since none of the faiths could support a church of their own. Conoway Scott donated land for a new church building, and Charles N. Alexander donated construction materials.</p><br>
<p>The congregation hired Charles L. Thompson, who designed Marlsgate Plantation in Scott, to draw up plans for the building. George Leifer was hired as builder, and the cornerstone was laid on June 27, 1906. The first service in All Souls Church was held on January 13, 1907, led by Methodist minister Forney Hutchinson.</p><br>
<p>The church building is a wood-framed structure with a buttressed ashlar stone exterior and a slate roof. Charles L. Thompson chose the Gothic Revival style as the primary influence for his design of the church, which can be seen in the pointed-arched windows and the steep roofline. The church is a well-preserved example of vernacular Gothic architecture styling in a rural setting. It incorporates elements of the Tudor Revival style, seen in the use of half-timbered gable ends and slightly flared eaves. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on August 12, 1977.</p><br>

During the 1840 election campaign, the mound served as an orator&#39;s platform for Daniel Webster and Henry Clay, who spoke before a great audience on the same summer afternoon. Today, the mound is located within the Glen Helen Nature Preserve, a National Natural Landmark.</p><br>
<h2>Excavations</h2><br>
<p>The earliest known excavation of the mound took place in 1953 and 1954, under the supervision of a man known as Frank Van Wort; little of this excavation is known, because Van Wort published no reports of his work nor wrote any surviving unpublished reports. It appeared that he tried to dig through the middle of the mound but missed slightly to the northern side. A more systematic excavation was conducted in 1971 by Antioch College students under the supervision of archaeologist Wolfgang Marschall; under his work, Van Wort&#39;s work was exposed, and approximately one-third of the entire mound was excavated. Their work revealed the presence of a burial chamber at the heart of the mound.</p><br>
<p>Archaeologists have failed to come to a conclusion on the archaeological culture that built the mound. Van Wort found five skeletons within the mound — two men and three infants — that he interpreted as being from the Adena culture, as well as Adena-style projectile points. Conversely, Marschall&#39;s team recovered detailed information about skeletons, grave goods, their relationships with each other, and the general stratigraphy of the mound, and their work concluded that the mound was produced by later Hopewellian peoples. Seven skeletons from this excavation, along with various artifacts and records of the excavation, were placed in the Dayton Museum of Natural History.</p><br>
<h2>Preservation</h2><br>
<p>The mounds location within Glen Helen puts it in the bounds of a nature reserve and a National Natural Landmark. It was given further protection in 1974, at which time it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places; it is currently one of six archaeological sites on the Register in Greene County. The mounds continued preservation was threatened in 2008, as maintenance funding and labor was ended when Antioch College closed for lack of funds, but multiple grants obtained in 2010 included money for upgrading the trail by which the mound is accessed.</p><br>

<p>The Millen–Schmidt House is a historic residence in Xenia, Ohio, United States. Built in the late nineteenth century, it was named a historic site after surviving a massive tornado.</p><br>
<p>Eli Millen settled in Xenia in 1837, having left South Carolina because of his sense of revulsion toward slavery. After operating a dry goods store for several years, he expanded his operation to include pork packing and butchering. Later in life, Millen travelled to Europe, where he saw and admired a massive Italian mansion. After returning to America, he learned that a similar house had been built in New York, so he hired the architect to design a similar residence in Xenia&#39;s upscale North King Street neighborhood; it was completed in 1871. In 1912, the house was purchased by Henry E. Schmidt, a well-off produce merchant.</p><br>
<p>Built of brick on a stone foundation, the Italianate-styled Millen–Schmidt House features elements of sandstone. Its overall plan is in the shape of the letter "T&quot two stories tall, it comprises a three-story rectangular tower with two Second Empire-styled gable-roofed portions that form the rest of the house. The house is entered through a Romanesque Revival-styled porch, built of stone. Originally, the interior was so elaborate that its completion required two years of work.</p><br>
<p>On 3 April 1974, much of Xenias near north side was destroyed by one of the worst tornadoes on record. Two years later, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places, qualifying because of its historically significant architecture.

Patterson House, is located two blocks to the north; it too was listed on the National Register in 1976.</p><br>
