<p>The Baldwin Hotel is a historic hotel building in Klamath Falls, Oregon, in the United States. It was built in 1905 and added to the National Register of Historic Places on October 2, 1973. Originally built to be a hardware store by George Baldwin, the building was converted into a hotel in 1911 as George saw the potential profit from the railroad coming to town. He anticipated the railroad to come by the Link River, across the street from the buildings location. Unfortunately for George, the railroad was instead built at the other end of Main Street, by the current Klamath County Museum. Nonetheless, the hotel was built and operated with unique characteristics. As the site of construction was a rocky hillside, the building was constructed by carving away the basalt and creating an incredibly sturdy foundation. This hotel has almost all rooms connected in order to create the ability to rent out either one room, or an entire suite of rooms. Georges thinking behind this was that people would want to be able to have an office and apartment all connected. It also was the first building to have indoor plumbing in every room, even though running water wasn&#39;t available until 1908.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Baldwin family consisted of George and Josephine Baldwin, and their children. They started a family and had their firstborn George, who died at the age of three. Their next child was Maud Baldwin, born in 1878, who became a prominent businesswoman and photographer. Three boys followed Charles, William, and Floyd (Zim), who became businessmen, owning and operating a mining operation, a hardware store, and an automobile dealership, respectively. George&#39;s later life found him in a senatorial seat from 1917 until his death in 1920. Leaving behind his unmarried daughter to care for her ailing mother and the hotel proved to be too much of a strain for Maud, who committed suicide in 1926 by drowning her self in the nearby lake. Before her death, Maud sold the hotel to a couple in 1923.</p><br>
<p>This couple, Andrew and Cordelia Moore operated the hotel until 1951 when they retired and gave the hotel to their daughter Vera Moore Jones and her husband, Mart Jones. The hotel in its later years operated as a residence hotel serving many elderly gentlemen, including Herbert Ballard, who lived in the same room of the hotel for 51 years. Ballard was an Englishman who worked as an accountant for the many (at the time) lumber companies in the area. His duration at the Baldwin made him the only resident to have lived there under all three sets of owners and he was informally adopted, spending his holidays with the Jones. The Jones era came to a close in 1971 due to the hotel falling into disrepair and the financial trouble of getting up to date on the fire code; ultimately, the hotel was forced to close.</p><br>
<p>The destruction of the hotel was imminent until a group of concerned citizens came together and forced a reconsideration for the property. This led to Klamath County buying the property and all of its contents, including the original brass beds, dressers, claw foot tubs and other items from the long history of the building and its inhabitants. The conversion was considerably helped by former County Commissioner, Nell Kuonen to whom the Museum owes its gratitude.</p><br>
<p>The hotel is now operated as a museum by Klamath County Museums, and is open from Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day weekend, and during the Halloween season for special reservation-only tours. One- and two-hour tours are offered, showcasing all four floors, an interesting look into the history of the building and Klamath Falls. Using its vast collection of items donated over the years, the museum is able to show a unique historical insight into many different topics, such as sporting in the great outdoors, child care, fashion, laundry, Victorian ideals, cooking, music, shopping, health care and a collection of movie theater memorabilia as owned by the Moores and the Jones who also operated theaters in Bly, Oregon and Dorris, California.</p><br>

<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>By the 1870s, the town of Alpena had a sizable Norwegian community, many members of which had recently emigrated from Lier, Norway. With money from their lumbering jobs, members of the community purchased nearby land and founded the community of Leer, with the first permanent settlers arriving in the town in 1879. In 1882, a Norwegian Lutheran Church Society was organized in Leer at the home of Andreas and Gunhild Christopherson. The Reverend Peder lsberg, pastor of the Norwegian Lutheran congregation in Alpena, agreed to travel to Leer four times yearly for services. The Leer congregation met in a local school, and started a building fund with the intention of constructing a church.</p><br>
<p>In 1883, the congregation purchased a plot of land for $1.00 from Karl Burud, on the condition that it be used for a church and cemetery. The first burial in the cemetery occurred in 1885. By 1898, the fund drive was nearing completion, and a building committee was appointed to determine construction details. The final design was based on a German Lutheran church (no longer extant) located in nearby Krakow Township in Presque Isle County. The cornerstone of the church was laid on September 7, 1899, and the remainder of the church was constructed by carpenter Joseph F. Bammel for $3,000. It was completed in 1900.</p><br>
<p>In 1916, a parish house was constructed for $800.</p><br>

<p>Towne Farm is a historic farm complex in Boxford, Massachusetts. It is the most complete remaining farm complex in the town, and is also notable for its long association with the locally prominent Towne family, which owned the surviving farmland and surrounding land from 1777 until the 1930s. The 16.9 acre was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2012.</p><br>
<p>John Towne first came to Boxford, then a rural agricultural town, in 1777, buying half of a parcel of land belonging to his brother-in-law. He lived in the c. 1756 house on the property until 1790, when his son built the current farmhouse; the old house was demolished. Towne died in 1830, at which time his property passed to his son Samuel. Samuel sold the farmstead and 75 acre to his son Henry in 1845. These three generations of Townes appear to have been subsistence farmers, although Henry appears to have supplemented his income by engaging in the manufacture of shoes.</p><br>
<p>Henry Towne sold the property (now 95 acre) to his son Hiram, who was principally in the lumbering business, but continued to maintain the farm. It is during his ownership that a number of the surviving outbuildings were built: a windmill and water tower were built in the first decade of the 20th century, but a henhouse, cottage, and camp house have not survived. He also made some modifications to the farmhouse, adding bay windows and a single story porch to its front.</p><br>
<p>Hiram Towne died childless in 1932, and the farm was transferred out of the family two years later. Much of the Towne&#39;s land was given to the state, and forms part of Boxford State Forest. The farm portion went through a succession of owners in the 20th century, during which time additional neighboring parcels were sometimes added to the property. One large tract (89 acre) was sold in 2001 to a conservation organization, and others have been subdivided for residential development. In 2009 the farm complex and about 17 acre of land were acquired by i-Farm LLC, which has been working to restore the farm to working order.</p><br>

<p>The Old Marion County Courthouse is a historic county courthouse building in Tazewell, Georgia, which served as the county seat of Marion County, Georgia for a short time. It was built in 1848. The county seat was moved in 1850 to what is now Buena Vista, Georgia. The site is commemorated with a historical marker. The building has also served as Marion Lodge No. 14 F. & A.M. .</p><br>
<p>The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980 and is located on Georgia State Route 137.</p><br>
<p>The Harrison Street Bridge was a bridge which crossed the Embarras River east of Charleston, Illinois. The Camelback through truss bridge was 185 ft long and 27.25 ft tall at its highest point. Builders Oliver & Alexander constructed the bridge in 1898. The bridge was the only Camelback truss bridge ever built in Coles County.</p><br>
<p>The bridge was added to the National Register of Historic Places on November 30, 1981. At the time, the bridge was closed to vehicles and reported as being in poor condition. The bridge was demolished in 2011, and was delisted from the register in 2020.</p><br>
<p>Swampscott Cemetery is a historic cemetery at 400 Essex Street in Swampscott, Massachusetts. It is the towns only cemetery, and was established in 1852, not long after the towns incorporation. About 20 acre of the cemetery&#39;s 30 hectare have been listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Its historic portion is a representative of the rural cemetery movement that was popular in the 19th century, with meandering lanes and natural landscaping.</p><br>
<h2>Layout and history</h2><br>
<p>For organizational purposes the town has divided the cemetery into four districts, lettered A through D, which were roughly developed in chronological order and are laid out from west to east. In the oldest part, Section A, parcels are large family plots that front on either one of the main circulating roads, or smaller roadways that run between them. The oldest stone in this section dates to 1844, likely representing the movement of the burial to this cemetery at a later date. The most notable plots in this section are two military sites, one established by the Grand Army of the Republic for the burials of veterans of the American Civil War and the War of 1812, and one established by the American Legion for World War I veterans.</p><br>
<p>Section B, located north and east of Section A, was developed between 1880 and the 1910s. It contains more varied terrain than the older section, and its rocky terrain made placement of graves more difficult. Its notable elements include a series of hillside tombs, including a receiving tomb designed by Lynn architect Henry Warren Rogers and completed in 1924. The area also marks a stylistic transition from family plots, which predominate in Section A, to individual plots. This section is also the location of the cemetery&#39;s most prominent feature, the Andrews Chapel. This Late Gothic building was designed by Charles Vernon Burgess and completed in 1924. Its construction was funded by Ellen T. Andrews in memorial for her late husband Isaac.</p><br>
<p>Section C was developed in the 1920s on land acquired from an adjacent estate to the east of Andrews Chapel. Its terrain is even rockier than that of Section B, and there are significant sections that are impossible to use for burial purposes. Its centerpiece is a Veterans Lot, laid out to provide burial space for World War II and later veterans. The most prominent site in this section is the cemetery&#39;s only above-ground private crypt, that of C. F. Knowlton.</p><br>
<p>The last portion of the cemetery to be developed was Section D, beginning in the 1960s. Unlike earlier sections, it features a more regular rectangular layout of roadways, paths, and burial sites.</p><br>
<p>The three oldest sections of the cemetery, totalling about 20 acres, were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2013.</p><br>
<p>After decades of disrepair, the Andrews Chapel underwent significant restoration beginning in 2010. The Massachusetts Historical Commission awarded the 2017 Historic Preservation Award for the project.</p><br>
<p>The Alex Loeb Building is a historic structure in Meridian, Mississippi located at 2115 5th Street. Built in 1926, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.</p><br>
<p>The building was long home to a business owned by Alexander M. Loeb, an immigrant from Germany and a prominent figure in Meridians history. The company was established in 1887 and was originally located on 25th Avenue. The company moved to the Rosenbaum Building, another iconic structure in downtown Meridian, in 1898 and remained there until 1926, when the current structure was built. The site of the building was previously home to J.H. ONeill Marble Works, established in 1869 as one of the oldest businesses in the city.</p><br>
<p>The three-story building is one of many in Meridian designed by architect P.J. Krouse. Its most notable features include a terracotta decoration in the top bays as well as a parapet above each bay trimmed by terracota. The building also features a first floor canopy supported by heavy chains which emanate from the heads of lions attached under the second floor windows. Loeb is a habitational name for someone living at a house distinguished by the sign of a lion.</p><br>
<p>The Spengler–Thomas Building is a historic 2-story brick commercial building in Jackson, Mississippi. It was built in 1909 and was home to Bowers Brothers Dry Goods in 1910, then Maloney Brothers Dry Goods and Grocery which was joined by S.N. Thomas Department Store on one side of the building. Southern Business College and a Masonic Lodge were located upstairs by 1917. S.N. Thomas&#39;s Sons Company took over the building except for the lodge and occupied it until the 1990s. In 2000 the building was bought and restored in a project completed in 2002. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on May 9, 2003. It is located at 129 South President Street.</p><br>
<p>The Brownrigg-Harris-Kennebrew House  is a historic house in Columbus, Lowndes County, Mississippi.</p><br>
<h2>Location</h2><br>
<p>It is located at 515 9th Street North in Columbus, Mississippi.</p><br>
<h2>Overview</h2><br>
<p>It was built in 1837 for General Richard T. Brownrigg (1793-1841), a wealthy planter who moved from Chowan County, North Carolina to Columbus, Mississippi in 1835. The architectural style is at once Federal and Greek Revival. It was built in the Federal style, as evident from the facade and the interior. After Brownrigg died, it was purchased by Thomas Harris in 1841. In 1854, a Doric portico was added. It was then purchased by the Fontaines, followed by the Kinnebrews (who owned it from 1887 to 1965), and then by the Butlers, who purchased it in 1967 and restored it. Temple Heights was purchased by the Novotnys in 2016, and they continue to restore it.</p><br>
<p>It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since May 22, 1978. It is open for tours as a house museum with tickets arranged via the Columbus Visitors Bureau.</p><br>
<p>The B.S. Ricks Memorial Library is a historic library in Yazoo City, Mississippi. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on September 18, 1975. It is located at 310 North Main Street. The library was founded in 1838 as a membership library. In 1900 Fannie Ricks helped fund construction of the B. S. Ricks Memorial Library building, named after her late husband General B.S. Ricks. It opened in 1901 and had its formal dedication on January 1, 1902. It remains in use.</p><br>
<p>The Poppy Peak Historic District is a neighborhood and historic district located in the southwest corner of Pasadena, California. The neighborhood is located on the side of Poppy Peak, a 991 ft mountain of the San Rafael Hills. Developer William Carr platted the neighborhood in 1924. The homes in the district were designed by a number of significant Modern Movement architects. The district was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2009.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Poppy Peak District is located in the southwestern corner of Pasadena in the Annandale neighborhood and borders the Los Angeles neighborhoods of Eagle Rock and Highland Park. The district is roughly enclosed by La Loma Road to the north, Avenue 64 to the east, Poppy Peak Drive to the south, and the Pasadena city limits to the west.</p><br>
<p>The four main streets through the district are Poppy Peak Drive, Kaweah Drive, Pleasant Way, and Cresthaven Drive. The district is accessed via Poppy Peak Drive, which intersects La Loma Road at the foot of the mountain and connects the other three streets. The streets are steep, narrow, and winding; as a result, the neighborhood has no sidewalks and few front lawns.</p><br>
<p>The district includes 45 residential properties. 30 of these are Modernist homes which are considered contributing to the district&#39;s historical significance, while the remainder are either newer buildings, empty lots, or representative of other styles.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Poppy Peak was named by early settlers for the California poppies which grew on the mountainside. The Tongva people lived on and near the mountain prior to late 18th century Spanish colonization in the region. After the Mexican Rancho La Cañada displaced the tribe, no residential development took place on the mountain until the 20th century.</p><br>
<p>In 1924, developer William Carr purchased the mountain and platted it into residential lots; Carr himself built a house at 1516 Poppy Peak Drive. The first Modernist homes in the district were built in the 1930s; the majority were built in the 1940s and 1950s, while the latest contributing house was constructed in 1968. As of 2008, only two homes have been added to the district since the 1960s.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The thirty Modern Movement houses in the district were designed by a variety of prominent architects. Richard Neutra designed the house at 1540 Poppy Peak Drive, a post and beam house which features a characteristic "spider leg" beam extending past its south side. Two 1930s designs by Harwell Hamilton Harris are located at 1642 Pleasant Way and 1444 Poppy Peak Drive; the latter house was moved to the district in 1951 by architect Leland Evison. Several architects associated with the University of Southern California School of Architecture designed houses in the district, including James Pulliam, the three partners of Buff, Straub and Hensman, Lyman Ennis, Kenneth Nishimoto, and the aforementioned Leland Evison.</p><br>
<p>The Augustus J. Oakes House is a historic residence in Yazoo City, Mississippi. Augustus J. Oakes  was the founder of the private Oakes Academy school for African Americans in 1884. He was married to Emma Johnson Oakes  and is buried in Yazoo City&#39;s Glenwood Cemetery. The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on April 8, 1993. It is located at 308 Monroe Street.</p><br>
<p>The Broadway Bridge is a historic arch bridge that spans Greenville Creek on the edge of downtown Greenville, a city in the far western part of the USA state of Ohio. Constructed in the early twentieth century, it carries one of the citys most important streets and connects the citys northern and southern sections. One of several large concrete bridges designed by a Cleveland engineer, it has been named a historic site.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>As late as 1857, Greenville was restricted to the southeastern side of Greenville Creek; only about four or five houses were located in what has since become the northern part of the city. However, a Greenville Creek bridge existed by this time, and around it existed a smattering of industries. Like today, Broadway was an important thoroughfare, with the old courthouse occupying a place on the public square, and a dense commercial district lining both sides of the street for several blocks to the south of the square. The current courthouse was constructed in 1874, and Broadway was paved with brick in 1900 as numerous commercial buildings continued to rise along its sides. The location of the present bridge is close to the Treaty of Greenville signing grounds; construction by the bridge in the late nineteenth or early twentieth centuries revealed burials of officers from the Legion of the United States.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>Constructed in 1909, the Broadway Bridge is a three-hinged arch bridge built of concrete. A single span crosses the entire stream, and a balustrade prevents vehicles and pedestrians from falling over the side into the stream. The bridges designer, A.W. Zesiger, constructed multiple three-hinged arch concrete bridges; one that spanned a creek at Brookside Park in Cleveland was once considered the worlds flattest semi-elliptical arch. These two bridges were constructed in a similar manner, although the slightly flatter Cleveland bridge was lighter and smaller than the Greenville bridge, whose location required it to carry heavier loads than a bridge placed in a park. Not long after completing the bridge in Greenville, Zesiger became known for a substantially larger structure: as the Cuyahoga County Bridge Engineer, he helped to supervise the construction of the concrete-and-steel Detroit-Superior High Level Bridge, which was completed in 1917.</p><br>
<h2>Preservation</h2><br>
<p>In 1996, the Broadway Bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places, qualifying both because of its place in local history and because it remained a well-preserved example of early twentieth-century engineering. It is one of twelve National Register-listed locations in Greenville; among the others are the courthouse and the business district on Broadway, which has been named a historic district. Today, two state highways — State Routes 49 and 571 — cross Greenville Creek on the bridge.</p><br>
<p>The Hotel Massey  is a former hotel in the Downtown district of Bentonville, Arkansas, built in 1910 in the Renaissance Revival architectural style. The historic property replaced the Eagle Hotel, which had been on the site since 1840. Many businesses have occupied the hotels first floor, and the structure has contained the Bentonville Public Library twice. Coupled with Massey Hotels community heritage, the building&#39;s architectural style is uncommon in Arkansas, and even more rare in the Ozarks. With this duality of significance, the property was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.</p><br>
<h2>Location</h2><br>
<p>Located at the intersection of Central Avenue (Highway 72) and A Street, the hotel is located in the Original Town plat of Bentonville, today known as Downtown Bentonville. Historically, the intersection was the junction of US Highway 71, Highway 72, and Highway 100, with US 71 turning left and following Central Avenue on its path north at the junction. As US 71 was the major through highway, the hotel was easily accessible by many travelers during its early history. US 71 was later rerouted to bypass downtown, with the A Street/Central Avenue route seeing redesignation as USA Route 71B (US 71B). This routing also has changed, with US 71B now rerouted to the west away from downtown. Even without the through traffic, the district has seen significant redevelopment upon opening of Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art north of the town square. The increased tourist traffic related to the museum has made Downtown Bentonville one of the state&#39;s most popular tourism destinations.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Massey Hotel replaced the Eagle Hotel, which had stood on the same corner since 1840. The Eagle Hotel was also a historically significant property, housing Union general Franz Sigel during the Civil War prior to the Battle of Pea Ridge. However, the property had deteriorated, containing a monument shop beginning around 1900 until it was destroyed for redevelopment as the Hotel Massey in 1908.</p><br>
<p>Construction began in February 1909, and the grand opening ceremony was held on June 28, 1910. The 240 guests were welcomed by an orchestra, with a reception and open house following the hotels opening. In November 1918, the citys first public library was established in the hotels east room. This library would later close due to a lack of funding. However, several other shops and businesses were located on the Hotel Masseys first floor, including the ticket office for the train to Rogers.</p><br>
<p>A fire in 1975 devastated the building, and it was left vacant for over a year following the fire. In 1977, Jim Walton, Sam Walton, and Helen Walton purchased the Massey Hotel building. They renovated the structure into office space, with the Bentonville Public Library on the first floor. The library opened on November 11, 1979 and operated in the Massey Hotel for 27 years, before outgrowing the historic structure and moving to its current location. The Massey Hotel also temporarily housed some Crystal Bridges works prior to the museum&#39;s opening in 2011.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The three-story brick structure displays many common elements of the restrained Second Renaissance Revival architectural style, including a fenestrated porch along Central Avenue and A Street, stone belt course and frieze, and ornamented pediment bearing the structure&#39;s name. The porch roof is supported by round stone Romanesque columns atop rusticated granite pedestals. Above the columns are a cornice and frieze with a bracketed soffett. Both the tops of the columns and the brackets along the building wall bear acanthus leaf ornamentation. A larger-scale cornice matching the porch, brick parapet, and cast stone cap top the building.</p><br>
<p>A flat porch roof formerly housed a promenade, as indicated by two doors still present today. Inside, the former parlor and ballroom contained tile floors and pressed tin ceilings. The first floor has fixed windows with transoms, while the upper floors bear double-hung windows. All window openings bear stone lintels.</p><br>
<p>Armitage Manufacturing Company, also known as Fibre Board Container Company, is a historic factory building located in Richmond, Virginia. The original section was built in 1900, and is a two-story, brick building; a third story was added in 1924. Around 1928, a three-story extension was constructed at the rear of the front wing. In 1954, a large barrel-roofed, metal bowstring truss wing was added. It was constructed for the production of building supplies and roofing paper, and then used for corrugated container manufacturing. The building is used as a warehouse.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2012.</p><br>
<p>Southern Biscuit Company, also known as Interbake Foods, Inc. and Famous Foods of Virginia , is a historic factory building located in Richmond, Virginia. The original section was built in 1927, and is a six-story, reinforced concrete building. It was subsequently expanded four times through 1951. The building features a water tower and distinctive roof-top sign. The sign has three rows of letters spelling "HOME OF", "FFV", and "COOKIES AND CRACKERS". The facility closed in 2006.</p><br>
<p>A 2014 renovation transformed the factory into a 178-unit apartment building. The Cookie Factory Lofts complex covers 240,000 ft2 and incorporates unique features of the former bakery.</p><br>
<p>The Southern Biscuit Company Building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2012.</p><br>
<p>Henry Mansfield Cannon Memorial Chapel, also known as Cannon Chapel, is an American historic chapel located on the University of Richmond campus in Richmond, Virginia. It was designed by architect Charles M. Robinson and built in 1929 in the Late Gothic Revival style. It is constructed of brick, stone, and concrete and has a rectangular plan with a telescoping projection at the rear. During the mid-1980s, new stained glass windows were</p><br>
<p>installed as part of a renovation project.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2013.</p><br>
<p>North Court is a historic dormitory building located on the University of Richmond campus in Richmond, Virginia. The building was originally built for Westhampton College, which together with Richmond College became the University of Richmond in 1920. It was designed by architect Ralph Adams Cram and built in 1911 in the Collegiate Gothic style. The three- to four-story building is constructed of brick, stone, and concrete and has a U-shaped plan with an encloses a courtyard with one open corner on the northwest end.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2013.</p><br>
<p>Ryland Hall is a historic academic building located on the University of Richmond campus in Richmond, Virginia. The building was originally built for Richmond College, which together with Westhampton College became the University of Richmond in 1920. It was designed by architect Ralph Adams Cram and built in 1913 in the Collegiate Gothic style. The brick, stone, and concrete building consists of two parallel wings, Robert Ryland and Charles Ryland halls, set apart by a connecting loggia. The three- to four-story building features leaded glass windows with Gothic tracery, decorative concrete sculptural elements, and a gable roof with slate shingles.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2013.</p><br>
<p>In 2022, the University of Richmond renamed Ryland Hall to the Humanities Building in accordance with the Naming Principles adopted by the Board of Trustees on March 26, 2022. Ryland Hall was renamed along with Puryear Hall, Sarah Brunet Hall, Jeter Hall, Thomas Hall, and Freeman Hall, now respectively known as Fountain Hall, the Refectory (reflecting its original purpose and name), Residence Hall #1, Residence Hall #2, and Residence Hall #3.</p><br>
<p>The Community House at 284 Bay Road in Hamilton, Massachusetts is a historic social and civic community building serving the towns of Hamilton and Wenham. The Colonial Revival brick building was built in 1921 to a design by noted Boston architect Guy Lowell, and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2011.</p><br>
<p>Construction of the building was made possible through the efforts and generosity of George Snell Mandell and Emily Mandell, Hamilton residents and publishers of the Boston Transcript. The Mandells and a group of Hamilton residents worked with Community Service, Inc., a national non-profit that worked to improve recreational facilities. The Mandells purchased the land, in what was then a residential area outside the Hamilton-Wenham business district, and gave it to Hamilton House, Inc., founded to hold title to the property in perpetuity.</p><br>
<p>The two story building houses an auditorium, sitting room, library, and kitchen on its first floor, and meeting rooms on the second. The basement originally held bowling lanes, a game room, and a men&#39;s lounge. Community Service of Wenham and Hamilton, Inc., which manages the building, has over the years offered a wide variety of social, recreational, and educational programs in the facility, and made it available to other community groups as meeting and function space.</p><br>
<p>The most significant changes to the building have affected the lower level. As bowling rose in popularity, additional lanes were added in a 1934 addition, and also in an adjoining building; the original lanes were converted to a shooting range for law enforcement. With the waning of bowling&#39;s popularity, the adjoining building was leased out and eventually sold after being converted to medical offices, and the 1934 addition was converted to meeting space.</p><br>
<p>The Mr. Robert Silhan House is a small-scale Streamline Moderne house in Berwyn, Illinois, United States. Thought to be constructed around 1937, it was inspired by buildings at the Century of Progress World&#39;s Fair.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Katherine Silhan acquired a plot of land as an investment in Berwyn, Illinois, in 1922. At the time, Berwyn was undergoing a building boom coinciding with the Roaring Twenties. The lot was not yet connected to a road at the time of purchase, so little development initially occurred on the block. Katherine and Jerry Silhan subdivided their property into four lots in 1929. The Silhans kept one of these lots in their possession.</p><br>
<p>The date of construction is unknown. Robert and Katherine Silhan obtained a mortgage in 1934, and it is thought that this was to finance house construction. The Silhans sold their former house on Harvey Avenue on September 30, 1937, so it is thought that the Cuyler Avenue house was completed at some point around then. It was certainly constructed by 1944.</p><br>
<p>Robert Jaroslav Silhan was born in Radnice, Czechoslovakia, in 1879. He met his wife Katherine there, and they immigrated to the United States in 1901. They were wed two years later. Silhan worked in a sash and door factory and built cabinets as a side job. He was active in civic affairs, serving as President of the Berwyn Improvement Association and the Social Club Radnice of Berwyn.</p><br>
<p>Ownership of the house was passed to their son Jerry at some point. Jerry Silhan sold the house outside of the family in 1977. On February 20, 2007, the house was recognized by the National Park Service with a listing on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>The East Parish Meeting House, also known as the Fourth Parish Meeting House, is a historic church and meeting house on the rural east side of Haverhill, Massachusetts that is beautifully restored and currently used as a venue for weddings, services, open mics, community dinners and meetings, and more. The -story wood frame Greek Revival building was built in 1838, replacing a previous meeting house that was built on the site in 1744. The Meeting House was used for regular services until 1906, when its congregation merged with the nearby Riverside Memorial Church. The East Parish Meeting House was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2011. The building is now owned by a neighborhood association.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Charming, beautifully restored 1838 historic Meeting House listed on National and State Registers of Historic Places. Photo circa 2021.</p><br>
<p>The East Parish Meeting House is set on the west side of Middle Road in a rural part of eastern Haverhill. The building faces roughly southeast, and is a wood-frame structure with a clapboarded exterior, a front-facing gable roof and a granite foundation. Four enormous windows flood the sanctuary with sunlight. The three-stage steeple tower includes a steeple box, and belfry and steeple spire which were restored in 2014. The building shows simple Greek Revival styling, with narrow corner boards and entablature, with a fully pedimented gable. The pair of entrances are the most elaborate element, with flanking pilasters rising to entablatures with a projecting cornice above each entrance. Square sash windows are located above each entrance. The interior is largely unaltered since the building&#39;s construction in 1838, with a large sanctuary and rows of bench pews, and a balcony or gallery overlooking the sanctuary. A gas-lit chandelier installed in the 19th century and oil lamps along the walls help light the building at night. Electricity is available via a pole on the property site. The property also includes the archaeological remnants of a series of carriage sheds that stood south of the main building until they were destroyed by fire in 1928.</p><br>
<p>Haverhills Fourth Parish was organized in 1743 and had its first meeting the following year. As its name implies, it was the third parish to split from Haverhills First Parish, established in 1641; the Third Parish was eventually incorporated as Methuen. The congregation was always relatively small, and did not always have a full-time minister, meeting irregularly for 20 years from the 1770s to the 1790s. Its original meetinghouse was torn down in 1838, replaced by the current building. However, funding continued to be limited, and the congregation eventually merged with the nearby Riverside Congregational Church in 1906. Many of the East Parish records were apparently lost when that church burned down. The building was maintained by the East Parish Sewing Society, which held social events in the building. The building continues to be maintained by a local non-profit community organization, and is used for occasional non-denominational religious services and is available for many other purposes.</p><br>
<p>The Graham–Ginestra House is a historic residence in Rockford, Illinois, United States.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Freeman Graham, Sr. was a prominent businessman in Connecticut who served in the Connecticut General Assembly. He came to Rockford, Illinois to manage Emerson, Talcott & Company, a farm implements manufacturer in the Water Power District. He had been apprenticed in the cotton and woolen trades in the East. Graham built the first sour mash distillery in Illinois. He also co-owned the Rockford Cotton Mills. He had a home constructed in 1857 so that it would be about halfway between the two businesses (at 202 South Main and 1602–08 South Main, respectively). This made him one of the first settlers on the southwest side of Rockford. He was elected Fifth Ward Alderman in Rockford. Graham died in 1896, and his business interests were split among his three sons.</p><br>
<p>The house was instead bequeathed to his daughter, Julia, and her husband Henry S. Warner. Warner was the secretary-treasurer of the Graham Match Company. They lived in the house until 1927, when they sold it to Sicilian immigrant Leo Ginestra. Ginestra, a mechanic who owned a mobile home park, was part of the Italian community that formed in the city in the 1920s. The former Ginestra house was located in the middle of the community&#39;s commercial thoroughfare. Ginestra lived here until his death in 1978. For its role showcasing the cultural history of Rockford, the house was recognized by the National Park Service with a listing on the National Register of Historic Places on June 11, 1979.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The two-story rectangular house was built with Galena dolomite limestone. The house shows influence from the Italianate and Greek Revival styles.</p><br>
<p>The Edinburg WPA Auditorium is a historic auditorium building at 67 Main Street in Edinburg, North Dakota. The Art Deco structure was built in 1938 as part of the Works Progress Administration jobs program. It is a wood-frame building two stories high, sheathed in boards to which a stucco finish has been applied. There is a central projecting section on the front facade. The upper level is a large open space which was usable for a variety of social and recreational activities, and features a well-preserved sprung wooden basketball surface, decorated with the names and logos of area high school basketball teams. The lower level was originally a utility space. The upper part of the building was originally accessed via external stairs, but these were removed in 1990, and the building&#39;s entrance was reconfigured to have split-level stairs providing access to both upper and lower levels.</p><br>
<p>The building was used as a local social center through the middle decades of the 20th century, with rollerskating being a popular pastime, and is now occupied by a hardware store. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2013.</p><br>
