<p>The Seaford Historical Society owns the house and operates it as a pre-Civil War period historic house museum known as the Governor Ross Mansion & Plantation.</p><br>
<p>From the Seaford Historical Society&#39;s website: "Purchased by the Seaford Historical Society in 1976, this rare and complete Victorian Italianate mansion, ca. 1850s, has been lovingly restored and fully furnished.... The Gov. Ross Mansion was built in the 1850s by William Henry Harrison Ross for himself and his family. Ross served as the Democratic Governor of Delaware from 1851 to 1855. Extremely popular with the people, he was instrumental in bringing the railroad into Southern Delaware. Trains running daily to Philadelphia vitalized the economy as farmers switched crops from wheat and corn to higher priced tomatoes, strawberries, peaches and other perishables.</p><br>
<p>Ross became a local hero, but he was also a slave owner and Southern sympathizer. When war broke out between the states, Delaware sided with the North. Ross supported the Confederacy, and was forced to England. Today, the Gov. Ross Mansion stands as a reminder of pre-Civil War life." The plantation has the only known slave quarters surviving and documented in Delaware.</p><br>
<p>The Maryland Hotel, now known as the Mark Twain Hotel, is a historic hotel in downtown St. Louis, Missouri. The hotel was built in 1907 and designed by St. Louis architect Albert B. Groves. The Classical Revival building uses terra cotta decorations extensively; in particular, the second story is covered entirely in terra cotta, and other decorative terra cotta panels feature fruit and flowers.</p><br>
<p>The Maryland Hotel opened as a luxury hotel, but it eventually became a flophouse. In the 1990s, the hotel was renovated and became the Mark Twain Hotel; the new hotel serves low-income people, particularly those with criminal records.</p><br>
<p>The hotel was added to the National Register of Historic Places on February 16, 1996. At the time of its listing, it was one of only seven historic hotels in downtown St. Louis; five of the others (Hotel Statler, Lennox Hotel, Majestic Hotel, Mayfair Hotel, and Union Station Terminal Hotel) were previously listed on the National Register, and the last, Hotel Jefferson, was added in 2003.</p><br>
<p>The Courtyard St. Louis Downtown/Convention Center is a historic hotel in downtown St. Louis, Missouri.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The 25-story hotel opened on September 2, 1929 as the Lennox Hotel, the tallest hotel in the city at the time. Designed by Preston J. Bradshaw in the Renaissance Revival style, the building features terra cotta faces and cornices. The hotel, along with the Hotel Statler and the Mayfair Hotel, was built as part of a commercial boom in downtown St. Louis in the 1920s. It was the last hotel built in the area before the Great Depression, another hotel did not open in downtown St. Louis until 1963. The Lennox Hotel closed after newer hotels were built in the 1970s. The hotel was added to the National Register of Historic Places on September 6, 1984.</p><br>
<p>It was renovated in 2002 and reopened as the Renaissance St. Louis Suites Hotel. The hotel was foreclosed in 2009 by its bondholders after it failed to generate enough revenue to cover interest payments. It closed in November 2011. It was sold in December 2013 to Maritz, Wolff & Co., which spent $15 million on a complete renovation. It reopened on September 2, 2015 as the Courtyard St. Louis Downtown/Convention Center.</p><br>
<p>The Magnolia Hotel St. Louis is a historic hotel in downtown St. Louis, Missouri. Opened in 1925, it has been known for most of its existence as the Mayfair Hotel.</p><br>
<p>The Mayfair was founded by hotelier Charles Heiss, a Bavarian who worked in hotels in Europe, Canada, and elsewhere in America. Heiss served as the assistant manager at the Knickerbocker Hotel in New York City and as the manager of the Detroit hotel of the Statler Hotels, an early American hotel chain. Statler transferred Heiss to St. Louis to manage its hotel there, which he did for some years before having a disagreement with Mr. Statler, in which he swore to build better hotels nearby in St. Louis.</p><br>
<p>Designed by prominent St. Louis architect Preston J. Bradshaw, the hotel&#39;s 18-story building was built in 1924 and 1925. The concrete building is faced in red brick and terra cotta; it uses terra cotta extensively in its facing, window frames, ornaments, and cornices. The building had three high-speed elevators run by elevator operators. The Mayfair opened its doors on August 29, 1925, for a private reception and dinner for the 120 stockholders and contractors. The next evening, 4,000 guests were invited for a grand opening and dedication.</p><br>
<p>The Mayfair Hotel featured a nine-chair barbershop, a six-booth beauty parlor (unlike at many hotels where these services would be located in a basement), and private dining rooms and a luxurious lounge in the mezzanine off the lobby. Among the hotel&#39;s guests throughout the years were Irving Berlin, John Barrymore, Douglas Fairbanks, Cary Grant, Harry Truman, and Lyndon B. Johnson.</p><br>
<p>In 1925, Radio station KMOX went on the air from a studio in the mezzanine. KMOX installed an $18,000 Kilgen organ and held recitals every day at noon and between 6 and 7 p.m.</p><br>
<p>In 1977, the hotel was renovated. Some 85 rooms were removed and the interior redecorated, but original features were kept when possible, maintaining the building&#39;s historic value. The hotel was added to the National Register of Historic Places on September 17, 1979.</p><br>
<p>The hotel was sold in 2003 to local businessmen Michael and Steven Roberts, who renamed it the Roberts Mayfair Hotel. The hotel was managed by Wyndham Hotels for a time during this period. The brothers built a condominium tower next to the hotel, which proved unsuccessful, forcing them to sell the hotel to UrbanStreet Group in 2012, who then resold it for $4 million to Magnolia Hotels in 2013. Magnolia renovated the hotel, and reopened it in 2014 as the Magnolia Hotel St. Louis.</p><br>
<p>The Peter Roose Homestead is a historic homestead in the USA state of Washington that was settled by Peter Roose, an immigrant from Bollnäs, Sweden, in 1907. Located in Olympic National Park, the site was added as a historic district to the National Register of Historic Places in 2007.</p><br>
<h2>Historical importance</h2><br>
<p>The Peter Roose Homestead is considered important because it represents the last period of homesteading in western Washington state. It also represents the subsistence lifestyle of the immigrant Scandinavian community that settled in and around Ozette Lake. The construction is all local materials that have held up well under a very wet climate. The site "retains integrity of location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling, and association".</p><br>
<p>The historic district comprises a 34 acre area, containing five contributing buildings and structures:</p><br>
<p>The Peter Roose Cabin, 48.16115&deg; latitude, -124.70697&deg; longitude.</p><br>
<p>The Root House, 48.16123&deg; latitude, -124.70745&deg; longitude.</p><br>
<p>The Sheep Barn, 48.16203&deg; latitude, -124.70641&deg; longitude.</p><br>
<p>The well, 48.16125&deg; latitude, -124.70683&deg; longitude.</p><br>
<p>The fencing which encloses the property.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Ozette Lake area of the Olympic Peninsula, Washington, is an area of dense temperate rainforest dominated by Sitka spruce (Picea sitchensis), western red-cedar (Thuja plicata) and western hemlock (Tsuga heterophylla), and was the home of the Makah Indians. Ozette Village, one of five Makah villages, sat on a bench above the beach at Cape Alava, about 3 miles west of the lake. This village was first occupied in approximately the year 0 C.E., and was still occupied into the 1930s. A foot trail ran from the village to the northwestern end of Ozette Lake. In the past this trail was called Indian Village Trail. Currently it is called the Cape Alava Trail. The Ozette Village residents used the trail to access both the lake and two open bog wetlands, now called Ahlstroms Prairie and Rooses Prairie. These open areas, locally called prairies, are about 1.5 miles from the beach to the west and the lake to the east. They are not prairie in the usual sense, but are herbaceous bogs with peaty soil that is saturated for most of the growing season, and are dominated by mosses, sedges and low growing ericaceous subshrubs; rather than having well-drained soil dominated by grasses. Both Ahlstroms and Rooses prairies were used to gather berries, Labrador-tea, and basketry materials, and as hunting areas for elk, deer, and black bear. Oral histories from both Makah tribal members and descendants of early settlers indicate that the Makah people regularly burned these prairies to keep the herbaceous bogs from succeeding to trees and dense brush. Bog cranberry (Vaccinium oxycoccus), in particular, grew only in the prairies, and was both a dietary staple and a valuable trade item.</p><br>
<p>Peter Roose settled on one of these prairies when he immigrated to the Ozette Lake area, claiming 160 acres under the Homestead Act. Fellow Swedish immigrant Lars Ahlstrom settled on the other, about 1+1/4 mile to the south, at about the same time. Where Ahlstrom&#39;s prairie had a Makah cabin he could live in initially, Roose, a carpenter by trade, built all his own structures from timber he cut and milled on site. He built a log cabin to live in at first, along with a storage shed/root cellar, well, barn, and outhouse. He built a sawmill, using a boat engine salvaged from a shipwreck on the nearby beach for power. Some time in the 1930s he built the two-room house currently standing on the site, out of milled lumber from his own sawmill. He also built cedar picket fencing to delineate various areas of the homestead. Still standing on the site are the shed, well, barn, fencing, and the second house. The outhouse is barely standing and the sawmill has collapsed. The original cabin is gone.</p><br>
<p>Roose had a large flock of sheep, and grew potatoes, vegetables, cherries, strawberries, and raspberries. He sold canned mutton, wool, and fruit, worked occasionally as a logger, supplied lumber for construction of the Ozette Lake schoolhouse, and traded with the Makah. He also hunted and had a fish camp on the Ozette River. Following Makah practice, he burned his prairie regularly to keep it open. His only neighbors were the few Makah living in Ozette Village (35 people in 1906, down to 0 by the late 1930s), Lars Ahlstrom, and a few Scandinavian families at the lake. Roose lived alone on the site until his death some time around 1944.</p><br>
<p>The Ozette Lake and Cape Alava areas, including Roose&#39;s homestead, were added to Olympic National Park in 1953.</p><br>
<h2>Historical context: Homesteading in western Washington state</h2><br>
<p>Peter Roose was part of a wave of Scandinavian immigrants to the Pacific Northwest, arriving in the US some time in the early 1900s. While the climate was mild, the forest was dense and difficult to clear, the terrain was steep, and the mild maritime climate produced near-constant dampness. However, Scandinavians from Scandinavia and the upper Midwestern states of Minnesota and the Dakotas were attracted by the lack of snow and the apparent fertility of land that could grow such large trees and dense brush. The Ozette Lake area saw a first wave of homesteaders, primarily Scandinavian, starting about 1890. The community was distinct for its isolation, ethnic homogeneity, and self-reliance. The Washington Forest Reserve, established in 1897, initially placed the Ozette Lake area off-limits to homesteaders, leading to abandonment of the area by the residents. The Reserve was reduced in size in 1900 and Ozette Lake was re-opened to homesteading and settled by a second wave of Scandinavian homesteaders.</p><br>
<p>Getting to Ozette Lake was an arduous journey. Railroads served Seattle and Portland during this time period. From there, prospective homesteaders traveled by ship to the Makah village of Neah Bay, on the Strait of Juan de Fuca, where they hired Makah canoeists to take them to the mouth of the Ozette River or Cape Alava. From the beach, prospective homesteaders had to carry their belongings inland on foot to potential homesteads, on Indian trails or bushwhacking through dense forest and brush. An overland route approached the east side of Ozette Lake from Clallam Bay on a 25 mi foot trail, now the Hoko-Ozette Road. No roads served the area until the 1920s.</p><br>
<p>The Jefferson Arms is a historic building in downtown St. Louis, Missouri. It opened as the Hotel Jefferson in 1904 to serve visitors to the Louisiana Purchase Exposition and was named in honor of Thomas Jefferson.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The original east half of the Hotel Jefferson was designed by Barnett, Haynes & Barnett; the Classical Revival structure features terra cotta decorations. The hotel was opened to the public for the first time on April 2, 1904, for a charity ball sponsored by the St. Louis chapter of the Daughters of the Confederacy and the Confederate Memorial Society. The hotel opened to overnight guests on April 29, 1904, the day before the World&#39;s Fair. The Democratic National Convention was held at the hotel in 1904 and 1916.</p><br>
<p>The hotel was sold in 1927 and in 1928 the new owners constructed a huge addition on the west side of the hotel designed by the firm Teich & Sullivan, doubling its capacity and adding two banquet rooms. The Jefferson Plaza Garage was added to the hotel in the same year; the garage includes elements of the Art Deco and Tudor Revival styles. The garage helped to alleviate St. Louis downtown traffic congestion and serve visitors with cars; the Hotel Jefferson is the only historic downtown hotel with its own original parking garage. During the late 1930s, Max Theodore Safron (d. 1980) operated his art gallery from the Jefferson Hotels mezzanine, where he primarily sold American, British, and French paintings to the city&#39;s wealthy clientele. The Jefferson hosted conventions and celebrities in the city for the next two decades and was recognized by Gourmet magazine as "one of the best hotels in St. Louis".</p><br>
<p>The Jefferson was sold to Hilton Hotels Corporation on October 31, 1950 for $2.6 million, retaining its original name. In 1952, Hilton gutted and modernized many of the hotel&#39;s surviving historic interiors, including the main lobby, dining room and coffee shop, and added a 24-hour drug store/soda fountain. In 1954, Hilton purchased the nationwide Statler Hotels chain. As a result, they owned multiple large hotels in many major cities. In St Louis, for example, they owned both the Jefferson and the Statler Hotel St. Louis. This was found by the government to be an anti-trust violation and Hilton was required to sell The Jefferson, the Roosevelt Hotel in New York and the Mayflower Hotel in Washington D.C. The Jefferson was sold to The Sheraton Corporation on December 29, 1955, for $7.5 million. The hotel was renamed The Sheraton-Jefferson. It was again renamed The Jefferson Hotel in 1973, though still operating within Sheraton.</p><br>
<p>The hotel closed on July 23, 1975. The building reopened in 1977 as a residence for the elderly called the Jefferson Arms Apartments. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on October 24, 2003.</p><br>
<p>In 2006, developers cleared the building of residents, planning to convert it to condominiums; however, the project collapsed. The building was tied up in litigation for many years until it was finally sold to Alterra Worldwide in 2017 for $7 million. The new owners announced plans to convert the enormous building to a combination of 239 apartments, a 198-room AC by Marriott hotel, and 20,000 sq ft of retail. In February 2021, Alterra paid over $100,000 in back taxes owed on the property, clearing the way for $17.3 million in financing from the city of St. Louis. It was reported at that time that the renovation work would cost $104 million. In October 2022, following the settlement of a lawsuit by the carpenters&#39; union, Alterra announced slightly adjusted plans, for 225 hotel rooms and 235 apartments, with work set to begin in the near future.</p><br>
<p>The Frisco Building is a historic office building in downtown St. Louis, Missouri. The building was built in 1903-04 as the headquarters for the St. Louis–San Francisco Railway, which was also known as the Frisco. The architecture firm Eames and Young designed the building as well as its 1905-06 addition; the buildings subtle ornamentation and its pier and spandrel system were both important developments in skyscraper design. The Frisco occupied the building for almost eighty years after its opening, and in that time played an important role in Missouris economic development through railroad construction.</p><br>
<p>Its expansion forced the Kieselhorst Piano Co., a leading vendor of pianos in the city, to move one block east on Olive Street.</p><br>
<p>The Frisco Building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on March 29, 1983.</p><br>
