<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In 1829, Delaware became the second state to establish free public education for its residents. This schoolhouse, which opened in 1836, is one of the first buildings from that movement, and the only one not significantly altered at the time of its addition to the National Register of Historical Places. Manlove Hayes, who lived south of Leipsic is said to have designed the structure since education benefited his numerous children and step children. It is a one-room and one-story stuccoed stone building. It has a pyramidal shingled roof with a stepped stone cornice. The first teacher was Joshua G. Baker. Both boys and girls attended the school and were seated in two circles in the interior, with boys facing the outside and girls the inside. It remained a public school well into the 20th century, after which it was used as a community meeting house.</p><br>

<p>Great Geneva is a historic home located near Camden, Kent County, Delaware. It was built in about 1765, and is a -story, brick, hall-and-parlor plan dwelling with a small frame kitchen wing. The layout is an adaptation of the Resurrection Manor plan. It is associated with the prominent Hunn family and the local Quaker community. The house was an important station on the Underground Railroad.</p><br>
<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>Situated to the north of the Tidbury Branch of St. Jones River, Great Geneva stands as a two-story-and-attic brick dwelling built in accordance with a hall and parlor plan. The house exhibits a northern facade designed with a Flemish bond pattern, featuring a box cornice, keyed lintels, and a rectangular transom positioned above the central entrance.</p><br>
<p>The rear wall of the house is constructed using English bond. Within the three southern bays, two doorways can be found, with one previously leading to a rear kitchen. This wing has since been replaced by a newer addition attached to the western gable wall.</p><br>
<p>The western gable wall showcases a Flemish bond with glazed headers, while the eastern gable has been stuccoed. The latter is further concealed by a recent extension housing bathrooms.</p><br>
<p>Notable original features on the ground floor are scarce. The present owners have added crown molding, chair railing, paneled end walls, and cupboards. Additionally, modern kitchen amenities now occupy the southeast room, created by installing a partition wall adjacent to the eastern fireplace breast.</p><br>
<p>The second floor has preserved some of its original elements more successfully. The western bed chamber boasts an original paneled end wall, chair railing, and cornice. The eastern chamber retains certain portions of its original detailing. Curiously, the second floor has been divided into four distinct spaces, with the two-bed chambers located to the south and a hallway and anteroom positioned to the north.</p><br>
<p>The basement, encompassed by brick foundation walls laid in English bond, comprises three fireplaces adorned with segmental brick arches. Inside, a water table exists, resulting in a decrease in wall thickness by one brick course between the basement and the first floor. Similarly, the wall thickness diminishes between the first and second floors.</p><br>
<h2>Significance</h2><br>
<p>Great Geneva holds a significant historical association with the growth of the Friends community near Camden and the Hunn family&#39;s fortunes.</p><br>
<p>The Hunn lineage in Delaware traces its origins to Nathaniel Hunn of Boston. Following Nathaniels demise in King Philips War, his wife Priscilla remarried and relocated to Kent County, accompanied by her young children.</p><br>
<p>Jonathan Hunn, Priscilla Hunn&#39;s great-grandson, acquired the parcel of land known as Great Geneva before 1765 and likely constructed his residence around the same period. The land had originally been surveyed for Alexander Humphreys in 1683 and changed hands multiple times until the mid-18th century. In proximity to the Great Geneva property lies Brecknock, from which a portion was used by Daniel Mifflin in 1783 to establish Piccadilly, now known as Camden, which became a central hub for the Society of Friends in Delaware.</p><br>
<p>Generations of the Hunn family, including sons, grandsons, and great-grandsons of the original builder, resided at Great Geneva and continued their involvement within the Friends community. During the 19th century, they also actively participated in the abolitionist movement. Ezekiel and John, grandsons of Jonathan Hunn, were staunch opponents of slavery. The latter, a close associate of abolitionist Thomas Garrett, purportedly confided in his son about a diary documenting the Underground Railroads activities in Delaware, urging its destruction. Before his son left the bedside, John inquired if the diary had been copied before its disposal. He reiterated his request to burn the diary, and his son, also named John, went on to serve as Delawares governor from 1901 to 1905.</p><br>
<p>A different individual named John Hunn, who may or may not have been born at Great Geneva, received training for a seafaring career and commanded the privateer security in Delaware Bay during the Revolutionary War. Through this John Hunn, the Hunn family established connections with another notable Delaware family when his daughter married Caesar Augustus Rodney, who happened to be the nephew of Caesar Rodney.</p><br>
<p>The Harrer Building is a historic building located at 8051 North Lincoln Avenue in Skokie, Illinois.</p><br>

<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1972.</p><br>
<p>Tyn Head Court, later known as Wethered Court, is a historic home located east of Dover, Delaware. The main home dates to about 1740, and is a two-story, three-bay, stuccoed brick dwelling with a gambrel roof. It is listed in National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Prior to 1680, under the government of the Duke of York, Griffth Jones and John Glover established a 650-acre tract called Tyn Head Court. In 1681, Jones and Glover, who had become prominent, were given patents to the land by William Penn&#39;s government.</p><br>
<p>Later, Robert French acquired the Tyn Head tract of 700 acres, willing it to his daughter Catherine in 1713. Catherine married John Shannon. They split the tract between their two daughters, Mary and Ann.</p><br>
<p>Ann Shannon married Major John Patton, an officer in the 1st Delaware Regiment during the Revolutionary War. He was captured by the British in 1780 in the Battle of Camden Court House.</p><br>
<p>The Patton tract included a frame house. Mary Shannon married James Svkes, a Lieutenant in Caesar Rodney&#39;s Company, who was a delegate to the Continental Congresses of 1777 and 1778. Sykes was also a delegate to the State Constitutional Convention. On the Sykes tract, the surviving brick, gambrel-roofed house was erected, sometime before 1780. The Sykes tract and house were inherited by their daughter, Mary, who married John Wethered. The property became known as Wethered Court.</p><br>
<p>In 1816, Wethered Court was bought by William Heverin, a shipowner, grain merchant, and farmer. Heverin added a lower brick wing to the south of the main portion. The wing contained a kitchen with servant&#39;s quarters above. Heverin sold Wethered Court in 1871. Thereafter the house was occupied by various farmers and tenants. The south wing was removed in 1954.</p><br>
<h2>Design</h2><br>
<p>Wethered Court, a three-bay gambrel-roofed structure, is constructed of brick and completely stuccoed. The front (west facade) is distinguished by a shallow box cornice with simple moulding, and a beveled water table. Three shed-roofed dormers form the roof. Details include a rectangular light over the entry and segmental arch supports over the basement windows.The rear (east facade) matches the front with the exception of the absence of a water table and entry over-light.</p><br>
<p>The roof is pierced by two dormers, located over the center and south bays. The north facade is marked by two asymmetric windows. The south facade retains evidence of a lower wing, originally flush with the east facade. Two windows, both on the first floor, remain; the east window is modern and occupies the position of the portal connection to the south wing.</p><br>
<p>The first floor is divided into two rooms with a north hall. An open stair occupies the northeast corner. Two interior doors are located on the south partition wall. Of the original detailing, a chair rail along the south wall remains. The east room is obscured by modern kitchen appliances and cabinetry.</p><br>
<p>The west room, however, retains its chair railing and crown molding. A corner fireplace, now sealed, is complete with bracketed mantel and breast paneling; a cupboard remains in the southwest corner.</p><br>
<p>The second floor is a mixture of remaining original woodwork and later paneling. It is divided into a central hall with three chambers and a modern bathroom. The basement is contained by common bond brick foundation walls. To the south are two corner fireplaces, which adjoin a supporting partition wall. The floor remains unfinished.</p><br>
<p>Delaware State Museum Buildings, also known as Old Presbyterian Church Complex, is a historic museum complex located in Dover, Delaware. The complex consists of four buildings. They are the Old Presbyterian Church, brick chapel , brick gas plant office building, and the Georgian-style Eldridge Reeves Johnson Memorial Building. The Old Presbyterian Church was built in 1790, and is a two-story, three bay square brick early Federal style meeting house. Buried in the adjacent cemetery are a number of prominent Delawareans including John M. Clayton  and John Haslet . The Eldridge Reeves Johnson Memorial Building houses the Johnson Victrola Museum.</p><br>
<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1972.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Delaware State Museum is located on the designated Meeting House Square in Dover, which was originally established in 1717. It encompasses four buildings, each with its own unique history and architectural features.</p><br>
<p>The first building, known as Building No. 1, is the Old Presbyterian Church. Built in 1790, the structure stands as a remarkable illustration of an early Federal brick meetinghouse. With a three-bay width and a nearly square shape, this two-story building also features an attic and a belfry that houses an enclosed stairwell, which is an unusual characteristic. Although the octagonal cupola that once protected the bell was removed in the nineteenth century, leaving a truncated tower, it has since been restored. The exterior remains true to its original condition, while the interior boasts impressive paneling, the distinctive staircase mentioned earlier, and a spacious gallery with a railing. These original elements have been preserved and incorporated into the structure&#39;s adaptation as a museum. Additionally, a box pew from the past was discovered in storage and has been reinstalled as an exhibit. The Old Presbyterian Church still retains its well-maintained burial ground, adding to its historical significance.</p><br>
<p>Building No. 2 is a brick chapel built in 1880. Its exterior and high Gothic ceiling have remained unaltered, representing a well-preserved architectural style.</p><br>
<p>On the other hand, Building No. 3 does not belong to the church complex but rather served as the office for a gas plant that occupied half of the block during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. This sturdy one-story brick building, also from the late nineteenth century, stands independently within the museum premises.</p><br>
<p>Lastly, Building No. 4, named the Eldridge Reeves Johnson Memorial Building, is a recently constructed structure featuring an attractive Georgian design.</p><br>
<p>The Delaware State Museum, along with its accompanying parking lot, now occupies the entire block bordered by Governors Avenue, Bank Lane, North Street, and New Street. The surrounding neighborhood, which was predominantly commercial and interspersed with deteriorating housing, has experienced a gradual revitalization since the demolition of the gas works in approximately 1955. The ongoing improvement is further accelerated by the construction of a well-designed city police headquarters in close proximity and the scheduled development of a Federal Building directly across the street.</p><br>
<h2>Significance</h2><br>
<p>The Old Presbyterian Church stands as a remarkable representation of religious architecture from the Federal period. For 134 years, it served as the first congregation of its denomination in Kent County, playing a vital role in the ethical and educational advancement of the town and county since 1714. The churchyard is the final resting place of distinguished individuals, including John M. Clayton (1796–1856), a renowned jurist, statesman, and former United States Secretary of State. Another notable figure buried here is Colonel John Haslet, who commanded the Delaware Battalion during the Revolution until his demise at the Battle of Trenton in January 1777.</p><br>
<p>During the pastorate of Rev. John Miller (d. 1791), the present Museum Building No. 1 was constructed, and it was later briefly succeeded by his son Rev. Samuel Miller, who went on to become a distinguished professor at Princeton. This building hosted a state constitutional convention in 1831, while an earlier convention in 1791–92, featuring the influential figure of John Dickinson, may have also taken place there.</p><br>
<p>Moving on to Buildings No. 2 and 3, though they lack the architectural significance of the Church, they still serve as fine examples of a small town church edifice and a small industrial building from the later nineteenth century. Together, the three units house numerous exhibits that offer insight into various aspects of Delaware life and history, attracting several thousand visitors each year. Notably, the Johnson Building is dedicated to showcasing the history of sound recording as pioneered by the Victor Talking Machine Company.</p><br>
<p>Old Statehouse is a historic state capitol building located on The Green at Dover, Kent County, Delaware. It was built between 1787 and 1792, and is a two-story, five-bay, brick structure in a Middle Georgian style. The front facade features a fanlight over the center door and above it a Palladian window at the center of the second floor. It has a shingled side gabled roof topped with an octagonal cupola. A number of attached wings were added between 1836 and 1926. From 1792 to 1932 it was the sole seat of State government, while from 1792 until 1873 it served also as Kent County Court House.</p><br>
<p>The state house was remodeled in 1873 to reflect a Victorian style and restored in 1976 to its original appearance. Extensive renovations of the State House also took place in 2007.</p><br>
<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1971. It is located in the Dover Green Historic District. It is now part of the Delaware National Historic Park and a museum run by the Delaware Division of Historic and Cultural Affairs. It can be toured Monday–Saturday 9–4:30 and Sundays 1:30–4:30 free of charge.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Old State House is an elegant brick building constructed in the late Middle Georgian style. It boasts five bays and is laid in Flemish bond at the front and Liverpool bond on the sides, both displaying excellent craftsmanship. The windows are topped with marble lintels, while the water table is also adorned with marble. A fanlight can be seen above the door, and at the center of the second-floor fenestration is a beautiful Palladian window. The building is crowned with a shingled-hipped roof and an octagonal cupola. The State House underwent a complete reconstruction between 1787 and 1792, incorporating the hard brick and other reusable materials from its predecessor, a courthouse built in 1722.</p><br>
<p>Except for unfortunate changes in 1873-1875, which substituted a mansard roof and bricked in most of the Palladian window, exterior alterations to the State House have been in the form of attached wings, added between 1836 and 1926. In 1910 the original roof line and five second-floor windows were restored to their pre-1873 appearance. The enlargements are a brick two-story and basement addition to the east, built in 1836 and extended in 1895-1897; a pillared rotunda and south wing in 1910; and an annex to the east in 1925-1926. In 1968-1969 the rotunda was removed, leaving an inconspicuous single-story recessed structure between the original Old State House and the remodeled former south wing, now a separate Supreme Court Building.</p><br>
<p>The interior of both the oldest section and the successive additions has been repeatedly altered to meet changing needs. Research to determine the nature and dates of these changes is far advanced. Restoration of the original 1787-1792 State House is scheduled for the near future.</p><br>
<p>The State House stands on The Green, centrally located in the Colonial portion of Dover. It faces west, occupying, the Supreme Court Building, all the east side of the small eighteenth-century square. The State House shares The Green with Kent County Courthouse, private homes, several of them handsome, and former private homes converted to State or professional office use. A four-lane street, widened for extra parking in front of the State House, separates the tree-shaded grass plot from the buildings, nearly all of which open directly on the sidewalk. Many are of eighteenth-century date, some with Victorian facades. State Street, a portion of USA Alternate 113, bisects The Green parallel with the front of the State House.</p><br>
<p>To the east of The Green, adjacent to the newer rear additions to the State House, is a large open space laid out circa 1930. About it are centered additional small and medium sized State buildings erected in and after 1932 but of Georgian design to harmonize with the original structure. Together with the public buildings fronting on The Green, they comprise a Capitol Buildings Complex.</p><br>
<h2>Significance</h2><br>
<p>The Capitol Buildings Complex in Delaware comprises several important units, but none are as architecturally and historically significant as the Old State House. Since 1777, this building and its surrounding area have been directly or indirectly linked to almost all legislative and executive decisions of the state. It served as the sole seat of the state government from 1792 to 1932 and also functioned as Kent County Courthouse from 1722 to 1873. The Declaration of Independence was read here in July 1776, and King Georges portrait was ceremonially burned. Delaware ratified the Federal Constitution on December 7, 1787, making it the First State, at or near the same site. On January 3, 1861, the General Assembly of this northernmost slave state expressed its "unqualified disapproval" of secession within the Old State House. Throughout Delawares history, other noteworthy events have occurred in or near the Old State House, demonstrating its significance.</p><br>

<p>St. James Episcopal Church is an Episcopal church located at the northeast corner of MacArthur and Broadway in Lewistown, Illinois. The church serves the Lewistown Episcopal parish, which formed in 1860, six years after Episcopal services began in the city. S. Corning Judd, the senior warden of the parish, obtained plans for the church building from architect Edward Tuckerman Potter in 1862, and construction began on the church in 1863.

The clapboard church features a bell tower with pinnacles on its corners and a spire at its center. The building incorporates elements of multiple architectural styles.

<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>A fine illustration of an early Georgian house in Delaware is the Philip Barratt House, constructed during the mid-eighteenth century. The house is erected on a center hall plan with a three-bay north frontage.</p><br>
<p>The north façade is faced with brick laid in Flemish bond with glazed headers. The center bay of the entryway is topped by a rectangular light, and all of the openings are arched with segmental arches. A box cornice adorns both the front and rear elevations. The three-brick-wide belt course, which encircles the north, west, and south walls, is noteworthy due to the use of glazed headers for the center course.</p><br>
<p>The west gable wall is laid in a combination of Flemish and English bonds. Both stories of the chimney stack appear to have small windows on either side, as suggested by the inconsistencies in the brickwork.</p><br>
<p>To the east gable wall is joined by a lower frame wing. The wing, which has undergone significant reconstruction, now includes a kitchen, bathroom, and quarters for servants.</p><br>
<p>The interior of the Barratt House consists of two rooms of modest proportions flanking a center hall. The west room is the larger, and features a finely paneled end wall. The paneling now features a with a reeded design. The east room contains a corner fireplace with fireplace breast paneling and a mantel added at a later time. A door leading to the kitchen wing balances out the fireplace. The first-floor rooms feature chair railing and crown moldings.</p><br>
<p>On the second floor the west chamber is the only room retaining a fireplace. The end wall, which is paneled, hides both a closet and a ladder stairway that leads to the unfinished attic. The only major alterations in the main house block include the addition of a bathroom and closets.</p><br>
<h2>Significance</h2><br>
<p>In 1784, Bishops Thomas Coke and Francis Asbury convened with eleven preachers in the home of Miriam Barratt to hold a council that ultimately led to the organization of the Methodist Church in America at the Christmas Conference in Baltimore. In 1755, Philip Barratt and his brother Roger, who were born in Cecil County, Maryland, relocated to Kent County. Philip Barratt farmed the land that was originally granted to Thomas Williams and Peter Groendyk in 1680, known as "Williams Chance," and also engaged in shipping with Philadelphia. Governor John Penn appointed him as the High Sheriff of Kent County in 1775, and he was subsequently elected as Sheriff in 1776. Philip Barratt was also a justice of the peace for the county and a member of the State Legislature, but his most significant contribution was in the establishment of the Methodist Church in America. He donated land and partnered with Waitman Sipple to construct Barratts Chapel in 1780. Caleb Barratt, one of Philip and Miriams sons, inherited the Barratt house and farm, which was later passed on to James Barratt before being relinquished from the family&#39;s control when he moved to Milton in 1823.</p><br>

<p>The church was deemed significant in part "as an example of the style of institutional architecture which was predominant in Denver during the 1880s - 90s. The architecture</p><br>
<p>takes on greater significance because of one feature of the building—the stained glass windows. All of them are American-made, an apparently unusual circumstance for the time,</p><br>
<p>as the common conception of the people at the time St. Joseph&#39;s was built was that church windows had to be imported from Europe. The stained glass windows are also unique in</p><br>
<p>that they contain clear prisms."</p><br>
<p>St Josephs was the site of a mass excommunication of more than 100 parishioners, after it was found that Father Malone had embezzled a large sum of money. 637 Galapago (also known as the Samsonite house), across the street from the church was built for the sum of $12,000 in the name of Father Malones mother. The embezzled sum was also $12,000. 637 Galapago was sold the day before an archbishop was brought in from New Mexico to investigate the matter.</p><br>

<p>Saint Philip in-the-field Episcopal church has been at this location since 1888, but construction on the church dates back all the way to 1872. In that year, trustees at the newly formed Bear Cañon Methodist Congregation commissioned Newton S. Grout, a former drummer boy for the Union Army, to construct the first church of Douglas County. As the main carpenter of the churchs construction, he wished to fashion its design after a smaller church in Maine where he had worshipped as a child. With plenty of initial money and labor donated to the construction, the exterior was quickly finished, but a later lack of funding prevented the completion of the inside. Despite this setback, the church opened that same year, using planks supported by boxes as pews and was used by various faiths. In 1884, the long-delayed interior building was resumed but didnt last very long when a man posing as a Methodist minister disappeared with the $600 of fundraising money meant for the churchs construction. Two years later in 1886, Bishop Reverend William Spaulding of the Episcopal Diocese of Colorado traded St. Marks Church in Bergen Park (modern-day Evergreen) for the unfinished church. William Curtis and John Harris were put in charge to supervise the construction. Curtis drew the plans and Harris worked as the carpenter, and when the work was completed, the interior included a sanctuary, sacristy, vestibule, pews, chancel, altar, communion rail, and brick chimney. The church was dedicated to Saint Philip in-the-field and held its opening services on December 23, 1888. The surrounding Bear Cañon cemetery was established in 1870, and the first still identifiable graves were laid in 1874 in the Northwest corner of the cemetery. By the 1970s, five generations of families and veterans from five wars had been buried in the cemetery. The mission center behind the church was built in 1970. On April 11, 1973, both the church and cemetery were placed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>

<p>The First Congregational Church in Colorado Springs, Colorado is a historic church at 20 East Saint Vrain Street. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002.</p><br>
<p>The church was organized and founded in 1874 in conjunction with the founding of Colorado College. The first two ministers of the church, Rev. Jonathan Edwards and Rev. James Dougherty, also held positions with the college. The present building was completed in 1889 at an estimated cost of $40,000. Its design is in the Richardsonian Romanesque style and is constructed of Colorado Wall Mountain Tuft (rhyolite) quarried near Castle Rock, Colorado. The architect was Henry Rutgers Marshall of New York, acclaimed student of Henry Hobson Richardson, and there is only one other church known to have been designed by him: Arlington Avenue Presbyterian Church in Brooklyn, New York (1905, Arlington Avenue Presbyterian Church – Brooklyn, NY ). The first service in the current building was James Greggheld on 21 July 1889 and the new building soon became a landmark in Colorado Springs. An early article in the then Weekly Gazette newspaper commented that “the design of the building is unique and has attracted much attention and admiration.”</p><br>
<p>“Surely few churches there are with so many pillars. The many pillars in our portico seem suggestive of the spiritual life of the church within, its strength, its dignity, its peace.” – Dr. James Gregg, October 1914</p><br>
<p>The cornerstone of the present church was laid on September 8, 1888, and the first services were held in the new building on July 21, 1889. Dedication was delayed until October, however, when the pipe organ crafted by Hook and Hastings of Boston was installed. Our faith community has been housed in this structure ever since, making our facility the oldest church building in Colorado Springs continuously used by the same congregation.</p><br>
<p>The First Congregational Church was placed on the National Register on October 31, 2002. In partnership with the Colorado Historical Society&#39;s State Historical Fund, the church and Founders’ Room addition (1903) have undergone restoration to their 1910 appearance.</p><br>
<p>Additions to the present building include the Founders Room in 1903, the Christian Education Building in 1959 and the Atrium in 1996. Alterations and improvement were made to the main building in 1910 and extensive restoration work to the interior of the building was completed in 2011.</p><br>
<p>The Gregg Library: The importance of books and a library has always been a significant part of First Congregational Churchs history. When the present sanctuary was built in 1888-89, a library was included, shelved on one wall of the Sacristy. The library found a new home 46 years later in a small frame house sitting on the churchs west side. That house was bought and donated to the church in memory of Rev. James B. Gregg, who served as pastor for 27 years. It was named the Gregg Memorial Library Building. The building housed a study and classrooms. In addition, Dr. Greggs children gave a $10,000 bequest dedicated to the library. That bequest still funds the librarys budget today. The Gregg Library is located in the West Building attached to the church.</p><br>
