<p>The Conant Public Library is the public library of Winchester, New Hampshire. It is located at 111 Main Street, in a fine Victorian Romanesque Revival building erected in 1891, funded by a bequest from Winchester resident Ezra Conant. The building&#39;s design, by Springfield, Massachusetts architect, J. M. Currier, is based on his design of the 1886 library building in Brattleboro, Vermont, and is one of the most architecturally distinguished buildings in Cheshire County. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture and history</h2><br>
<p>The Conant Public Library stands in the town center of Winchester, just south of town hall on the east side of Main Street. It is a 2-1/2 story masonry structure, built out of red brick with trim of granite and buff brick, and covered by a gable-on-hip roof. The main facade has a centered projecting entry section with a gabled roof, with the entrance deeply recessed under a large rounded arch. The projecting section is flanked by paired round-arch windows, with granite sills and with arches of alternating soldier bricks in buff and red. Similar windows are found on the building sides, and on the rear extensions. Above the main entrance is a band of four sash windows, topped by transom windows that are shaped to form a broad segmental arch.</p><br>
<p>Winchester&#39;s early library was a private circulating collection called the Washington Library Association, which donated its collection to the town in 1876. This collection was first housed in a commercial building on Main Street, which was soon deemed to be inadequate for the purpose. The town received a bequest in 1889 from Ezra Conant, a Winchester native who had made his fortune in the leather business, for $50,000 to cover the cost of a new library building. The terms of the bequest required the construction of a building separate from the town hall, whose construction had been planned to include a library space. The building was largely completed in 1891, but did not formally open until April 1892.</p><br>
<p>Long Island Farm is a historic farmstead at 2200 Cromwell Bridge Road in Parkville, Maryland. The main house is a rambling multi-part building whose oldest part is said to date to 1764, when Isaac Risteau purchased the property. The main eastern block of the house is built of stone and is five bays wide, but shows evidence that it once consisted of several separate sections that were built separately and then combined. The western block is a modern 20th century addition. The farmstead was associated with the Risteau and Jenifer families for over two centuries.</p><br>
<p>Long Island Farm was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2010.</p><br>
<p>The Bare Hills Historic District encompasses a residential area north of Baltimore, Maryland, in Baltimore County, which had industrial beginnings before being transformed into a suburb of the city. The district includes Lake Roland Park  as well as a cluster of largely vernacular dwellings between the park and Falls Turnpike that was built mainly in the 19th century.</p><br>
<h2>Overview</h2><br>
<p>The Maryland Historical Trust (MHT) describes the district as follows:</p><br>
<p>The Bare Hills Historic District represents a community&#39;s development from its industrial beginnings in milling and mining into a transportation corridor along the Falls Turnpike, and finally to residential area after rail services enabled commuting into Baltimore. The district includes 90 properties which provide:</p><br>
<p>The 19th-20th century African American Scott Settlement—one of the earliest free-black communities in Baltimore County.</p><br>
<p>Late 19th and 20th century residential development along the railroad and Lake Roland.</p><br>
<p>Lake Roland Park (so-named since 28 September 2015) Originally named Robert E. Lee Park, the portion included in the historic district encompasses a wooded landscape on the side of the undeveloped 1898 Sorrento subdivision</p><br>
<p>The MHT description also states:</p><br>
<h2>Geology</h2><br>
<p>Situated on a serpentine barrens, its thin and unfertile serpentine soil defined the Bare Hills area. H. H. Hayden documented the discovery of the area&#39;s mineral value:</p><br>
<p>The discovery occurred on Jesse Tysons farm. Tysons son Isaac Tyson, Jr. successfully mined the Bare Hills for chromite and identified other serpentine barrens in Maryland as chromite sources, including the Soldiers Delight area in western Baltimore County. His acumen established Maryland as the world&#39;s leading producer of chromium until the middle of the 19th century. All extraction at Bare Hills ceased by 1833.</p><br>
<p>The Bare Hills rock formation forces Jones Falls into an approximately 2.5 mile half-circle detour to the East before it resumes its south-southeasterly flow.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Bare Hills is also notable as the site of one of the earliest free African-American communities in Baltimore County, established about 1830 by Aquila Scott. Per the registration document for Bare Hills in the National Register of Historic Places:</p><br>
<p>Note. Scott&#39;s original log church burned in 1876. Its replacement, built in 1886, remains standing. The church site lies on the opposite side of Lake Roland, outside of this historic district.</p><br>
<p>The district was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2011. It includes the previously-listed Bare Hills House.</p><br>
<p>The Griffin Street Cemetery is a historic cemetery in New Bedford, Massachusetts. Located at the junction of South 2nd and Griffin Streets, and abutting the JFK Memorial Highway to the east, it is the citys oldest surviving cemetery. The plot of the cemetery is about 1.7 acre in size, and roughly follows the rectilinear grid of the city streets. It was established in 1804, not far from a Quaker cemetery whose remains were later reinterred in the citys Rural Cemetery. The cemetery has about 230 grave stones, but a significant number of graves are unmarked. The oldest grave dates to 1804, the newest to 1855.</p><br>
<p>The cemetery was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2014.</p><br>
<p>The Highland School, also the Arthur W. Dalrymple School, is a historic school building at 36 Grovers Avenue in Winthrop, Massachusetts. The Georgian Revival two story brick building was built in 1920–21 to replace a nearby school that burned down in 1920. It was built on the site of the Leighton Resort, a popular summer destination. The schools later dedicatee was a local resident who taught at the school and later became Winthrops superintendent of schools.</p><br>
<p>The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2014.</p><br>
<p>Benson&#39;s New Block and the Mohawk Chambers are a pair of mixed commercial and residential buildings at Main and Wells Streets in downtown Greenfield, Massachusetts. Built in 1913 and 1916, they are well-preserved and little-altered examples of period Neo-Classical commercial architecture. The buildings were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2014.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Bensons New Block and the Mohawk Chambers are located in downtown Greenfield. They stand side by side at the corner of Main and Wells Streets, facing Main Street. The righthand building, Bensons, is a three-story brick building built in 1916, and the left one is four stories, built in 1913. Both are built using steel frame construction, and are finished with Neoclassical brick and stone finishes. The Main Street facades have retail office spaces on the ground floor, with a cornice line separating that floor from the upper floors. The roofline of the Mohawk Chambers features a projecting cornice facing Main Street, which extends a short distance along the secondary Wells Street facade.</p><br>
<p>Both buildings were built by Thomas J. Gass, and originally housed commercial businesses on the first floor and residential apartments and rooming house space above. Gass was a noted local builder who also participated in the restoration of nearby Historic Deerfield. The Mohawk Chambers building housed the offices of W. Edward Benson, one of the citys major real estate developers and land speculators of the period. His activities included the construction of a number of new commercial buildings (including the adjacent Bensons New Block) in downtown Greenfield.</p><br>
<p>The Administration/Science Building , at 425 University Drive on the Tempe campus of Arizona State University, was built in 1908 or 1909 and was designed by D. W. Millard in the Queen Anne style influenced by Neoclassicism. The second-oldest building on the campus, it, along with Old Main and a third building no longer extant formed the first quad in what was then Arizona Territorial Normal School. It was originally called Science Hall. The building was remodeled several times and was used for a variety of purposes, but was scheduled for demolition in 1983. It was renovated and restored after it received historic status. Currently, it is the home of the University Club, a members-only institution open to faculty, staff, corporate and community members and parents of continuing students.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985 under the name "Administration/Science Building". It is also listed on the Arizona Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The building, designed by D. W. Millard and built by Harvey D. Patton, was constructed in 1908 or 1909, and was one of three original buildings that formed the first quad of the Territorial Normal School in Tempe; Old Main is the only other building that survives today. It was originally constructed to house the school&#39;s small science department as well as to serve administrative functions.</p><br>
<p>As the normal school grew, the building was soon modified. It was remodeled in 1935 and again in 1950; the latter renovation coincided with the science department moving to a new Sciences Building &ndash; now known as Discovery Hall &ndash; and the conversion of "Old Science Hall" into the home of Arizona State College&#39;s English department. The 1950 addition, with Mel Ensign as architect, added a fire stair and restroom projection and was one of several alterations to the now-historic buildings on campus: an expansion was made to Old Main, for instance. In the mid-1960s, the English department moved to its own new home: the Language and Literature Building. Soon after, during the Vietnam War, ROTC programs moved in, and by the 1980s it was known as the "Fine Arts Annex" and housed some arts programs.</p><br>
<p>In the summer of 1983, the School of Art was told that the structure, whose foundation had been damaged by rot and termites, was no longer suitable to be occupied; the building was slated for demolition. However, in the mid-1980s, several university buildings from the 1930s and earlier were listed on the National Register of Historic Places, including the Fine Arts Annex.</p><br>
<p>After the building&#39;s designation as historic, renovations were made to remove the 1950 Ensign addition and restore the building to its original appearance. In 1989, the University Club was created as a members-only club for faculty, staff, parents of current ASU students and corporate and community members.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>Science Hall is a two-story brick building measuring 70 ft by 92 ft, constructed on a granite foundation.</p><br>
<p>While Science Hall is executed in the Queen Anne style with its scale, massing and steeply pitched roof, it also reflects how Classical Revival influences had been growing since the turn of the century, with denticulated cornices; an arcaded entry; and a pedimented Palladian dormer.</p><br>
<p>The Louise Lincoln Kerr House and Studio  is a facility in Scottsdale, Arizona, owned and operated by Arizona State University. It was originally the house of Louise Lincoln Kerr and was willed to the university upon her death in 1977.</p><br>
<p>In 2010, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<h3>Louise Lincoln Kerr</h3><br>
<p>Louise Lincoln was born in Cleveland in 1892. She learned the piano and viola from her mother and then studied at Barnard College in New York.</p><br>
<p>She married Peter Kjer in 1936 (the family name was changed to Kerr) and had eight children. One of them had a respiratory condition, which prompted the family to move to Phoenix in 1936. She bought 47 acres of land in Scottsdale along Lincoln Drive, named for her father. After Peter died three years later, Louise returned to writing music. She also was a benefactor of musical institutions in the Valley, including the Phoenix Symphony and the ASU School of Music. Other musical societies met at her house, including the Phoenix Chamber Music Society and National Society of Arts and Letters.</p><br>
<p>The Kerr studio was Scottsdale&#39;s premier music venue until the Scottsdale Center for the Arts opened in 1975.</p><br>
<h3>Under the university</h3><br>
<p>Upon Kerrs death on December 10, 1977, Arizona State Universitys College of Fine Arts (now the Herberger Institute for Design and the Arts) received the property, and in 1981, management of the center passed from the College of Fine Arts to Gammage Memorial Auditorium. The transfer also involved further renovations to the site, including a lighted parking lot, new furnace and air conditioning units for the house, and code compliance work. Further changes were made in 1988, primarily involving re-roofing the studio and repairing the walls.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The five-room house was constructed in 1948. It is of a Spanish Colonial style and is made of adobe that was made and built on the property. On the north end of the east wall is a simple ramada, and the southeast corner of the house features a wooden staircase that provides access to the flat roof. The entry doors were carved out of sugar pine by Tucson artist Charles Bolsius, a friend of Kerr. The windows are plain squares with brick windowsills and oversized wooden lintels.</p><br>
<p>The studio was completed in 1959 to the north of the house, with an addition on the west end finished in 1969. Featuring the same natural adobe bricks as the house, the studio is covered by a low-pitched roof that flattens out further to cover the patios on the west and east sides. The studio features exposed rafters and a brick chimney at one corner. Bolsius carved the entry doors for the studio; the main east entry is surrounded by a doorframe featuring empty beer bottles set into the brick. The 1969 expansion was completed by architect Fred Fleenor and included built-in seating for 100, improved lighting, and kitchen and restroom facilities; special attention was paid to making this addition match the rest of the building. The floor tiles are exceptionally rare today; they are made of a mixture of cement and white marble dust.</p><br>
<p>Also on the property were several cottages, nicknamed "The Shacks&quot guests including Pablo Casals, Isaac Stern and the Budapest String Quartet stayed in these cottages. They were removed sometime between Kerr&#39;s death in 1977 and the construction of the Marriott Renaissance Scottsdale resort in 1979–1980.</p><br>
<h2>Current use</h2><br>
<p>The Kerr Cultural Center still sees regular use, in part due to its intimate setting and also because it is commonly regarded as the best venue for chamber music in the Phoenix area. It is used as a venue for musical performances as well as small conferences and private parties.</p><br>
<p>Havana Northside High School was a senior high school in Havana, Florida, and a part of the Gadsden County School District. The school mascot was the gladiator and the school colors were brown and gold. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2019.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Northside High School, initially a grade 7-12 school, opened on August 2, 1962. Initially there were 506 students. The 1962 Student Council sponsored the vote, decided by students and faculty, for the school colors and mascot. There were 640 students and 30 faculty members by the end of the 1965–1966 school year. It served African American children until 1970.</p><br>
<p>The schools name and grade configuration changed multiple times up until the 1980s. The school was known as Northside School from fall 1970 until spring 1971, then Havana High School from Spring 1971 until fall of 1980, when the school began using its final name. The schools grade configuration was changed to 6–9 in fall 1970, but became 9-12 by fall 1971. From fall 1981 to 1988 the school included 8th graders, but after that point it remained a 9-12 school.</p><br>
<p>According to Gerald Ensley of the Tallahassee Democrat, by 2003 the condition of the school caused many families to send their children to Leon County Schools campuses and/or to private schools.</p><br>
<p>In 2003 the school merged with James A. Shanks High School to form East Gadsden High School, located in an unincorporated area of the county. The school district stopped using the building of Havana Northside, which in its final year had 350 students, altogether.</p><br>
<p>Brian Miller of the Tallahassee Democrat stated that the 2000s high school mergers damaged the school athletic spirit in the county as the former school identities were discarded.</p><br>
<h2>Campus</h2><br>
<p>Initially the campus included an academic building with 14 general purpose classrooms, a wing dedicated to agricultural classes, and special rooms for music, science, home economics, offices, and student guidance. There was also a cafeteria and gymnasium as well as eight portable classroom facilities.</p><br>
<p>The Saxon Lutheran Memorial in Frohna, Missouri, commemorates the German Lutheran migration of 1838–1839, and features a number of log cabins and artifacts from that era. The memorial opened in 1962 and was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.</p><br>
<h2>Memorial</h2><br>
<p>The Saxon Lutheran Memorial is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. In 2009, it was recognized by the Friends of Missouri State Archive Association as the last complete home and farmstead complex of its era. The entire facility depicts aspects of the Saxon migration and settlement, and displays the domestic and farming artifacts of 19th century German rural settlements in Perry County, Missouri.</p><br>
<p>The Saxon Lutheran Memorial is an outdoor history museum in the setting of a log cabin village located on the homestead and farm of the Bergt Farm Complex. The complex has been open as a historic site since 1964 and has been listed in the National Register of Historic Places since 1980. The complex consists of 30 acre dominated by the log-cabin frame house and hewn log section building that was the home of brothers Wilhelm and Christian Adolf Bergt. Now restored, the Bergt Home contains household utensils and furniture from the pioneer period. This historic building has been through many changes through the years. A lean-to porch was added across the west side when the second log cabin was built. In the 1840s, a board and batten lean-to was built across the east side to serve as kitchen, bedroom, and porch, and was then removed in the 1920s. In 1870, a room was added beyond the west porch. Later the porch was closed in to serve as a kitchen. In 1913, the larger frame addition completed the house. The house serves as the curator&#39;s residence.</p><br>
<p>The site also contains a granary, a timber frame barn which contains within it an earlier double crib hewn log barn, and two log outbuildings whose original use is uncertain. These buildings were constructed in the period from the second quarter of the 19th century to the first quarter of the 20th century. The site also hosts a visitors&#39; center and an outdoor museum for farm equipment. The memorial was dedicated October 31, 1964, on the 125th anniversary of the Saxon Immigration.</p><br>
<p>A machine shed was added to the site in 1990 and is filled with old machinery. Several buildings with connections to the descendants of the Saxons living in the area have been moved to the site in recent years, including the Fenwick Cabin, the Hamilton-Goehring Cabin, the Schuppan Haus, and the newest addition, the 1904 Confirmation Room from Concordia Lutheran Church in Frohna. Other buildings have been constructed on the site to depict the customs and way of life of the 19th century settlers: a bake oven, a blacksmith shop, and a woodworking shop.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In the 19th-century German Kingdom of Saxony, Lutheran pastor Martin Stephan and many of his followers found themselves increasingly at odds with the established Lutheran Church. In order to freely practice their Christian faith in accordance with the Lutheran confessions outlined in the Book of Concord, approximately 700 Saxon Lutherans left for the United States in November 1838. Their ships arrived January 5, 1839 in New Orleans. After spending some time waiting for that last ship (which was lost at sea), most of the remaining 600 immigrants settled in Perry County, Missouri, and in and around St. Louis. Among the group were Christian Adolph Bergt and Caroline Louise Voelker, who married in 1841. In 1847 the Bergts acquired the property of an early pioneer named Thomas Twyman who had settled in the area in 1820. The property remained in the Bergt family until 1957. The property was purchased by the Concordia Historical Institute of St. Louis in 1961. The property was restored and in 1964 was dedicated and opened to the public as a "walk-in History Book" of German immigrant life in America.</p><br>
<h2>Festival</h2><br>
<p>Saxon Lutheran Memorial&#39;s annual Fall Festival is held on the second Saturday in October each year and features demonstrations of activities common in the mid-1800s, such as blacksmithing, quilting, cross-cut sawing, cider-pressing, bread-baking, butchering, apple-butter-cooking, spinning, and the making of brooms, shingles, and soap.</p><br>
<p>The festival also offers horse-and-buggy rides, a silent-auction, skits, live music, food, and handmade crafts.</p><br>
<p>The Abram Hatch House is a historic residence in Heber City, Utah, United States, that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places .</p><br>

<p>Burpee Farm was a historic farmhouse on Burpee Road in Dublin, New Hampshire, United States. Probably built in 1793, it was a good example of 18th-century vernacular farmhouse architecture, and was one of the town&#39;s oldest buildings. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983,</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Burpee Farm farmhouse was located in a remote rural setting of southern Dublin, on the north side of Burpee Road, a dead-end lane extending up the eastern slope of Mount Monadnock to the Eveleth Farm. It was a modest -story wood-frame structure, with a gabled roof, central chimney, and clapboarded exterior. Its main facade was four bays wide, with an asymmetrical arrangement of three windows around an entrance that is slightly off-center. The door and windows were all set with their tops butting against the roof eave. The interior included exposed post-and-beam construction timbers, and the chimney included a beehive oven.</p><br>
<p>The house was probably built by Samuel Snow, one of Dublins early settlers, who purchased 70 acre of land here in 1793 and probably built this house soon afterward. It was purchased in 1853 by Abbott Bowman Burpee, and remained in that family for over a century. The building was, despite some early 20th-century alterations, a well-preserved example of 18th century vernacular farmhouse architecture, and was one of Dublins oldest buildings. It was purchased by the Swanson family in 1969, and was occupied by rental tenants when it was destroyed by a fire of unknown origin in 2013.</p><br>
<p>The Louis Cabot House is a historic house on Windmill Hill Road in Dublin, New Hampshire. Built in 1887, it is a distinctive local example of Shingle style architecture, and was the centerpiece of the large country estate of industrialist Louis Cabot. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Louis Cabot House is located in a rural setting southeast of the center of Dublin, atop a knoll on the northeast side of Windmill Hill Road southeast of Pierce Road. It has a -story main block, to which a substantial -story wing is attached at an angle. The primary facade is oriented facing south, with views toward Mount Monadnock. It is fronted by a shed-roof porch, and has a large gabled dormer projecting from the roof face. That gable and the main block end gables feature eyebrow-like projections. The main entrance is on the west side, sheltered by a portico with an arched valance.</p><br>
<p>In 1886, Louis Cabot, a businessman from Brookline, Massachusetts whose family manufactured Cabot Stain, purchased two farms in this area. This house was built the following year, and became the centerpiece of a gentleman farmers estate of some 2,000 acre. The property also included a period barn that was one of the largest ever built in Dublin. The house was probably designed by Cabots cousin, Edward Clarke Cabot, and is one of Dublins major examples of the Shingle Style. The estate was sold off in pieces by the family after Cabots death in 1912.</p><br>
<p>The T. H. Cabot Cottage is a historic summer house off Snow Hill Road in Dublin, New Hampshire. The cottage is one several buildings that was built by geologist Raphael Pumpelly on his summer estate "Pompilia". Built in 1899 after his daughter&#39;s marriage to Thomas Handasyd Cabot, it is a good example of Georgian Revival architecture. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The T.H. Cabot Cottage is located in a rural setting between the Dublin village center and Mount Monadnock. It is located on the south side of Snow Hill, a knoll forming part of a ridge extending north from the mountain. The entire knoll is the site of the former Pumpelly Estate, and is accessed via Pumpelly Road, a private lane. The Cabot Cottage is located high on the south side of the knoll, in a clearing with views of the mountain. As described for its National Register listing, it is a -story wood-frame structure, with a hip roof and clapboarded exterior. The roof has extended eaves with exposed rafter ends. The front of the house is sheltered by a single-story shed-roof porch supported by round columns. Sash windows are generally set in groups of two or three on each of the facades.</p><br>
<p>The house was built by geologist Raphael Pumpelly in 1899, and appears to have been designed by his daughter, Elise Pumpelly Cabot. At the time of its listing on the National Register, the house remained in the hands of Cabot&#39;s descendants. It is possible the house has been torn down and replaced by a larger structure (see photo), or that it has been incorporated into that structure.</p><br>

<p>The Oxford Historic District encompasses the peninsular portion of the town of Oxford, Maryland. Established as the site of a ferry across the Tred Avon River in 1683, the historic portion of the town occupies a peninsula between that river and Town Creek. The town did not experience any significant growth until the late 19th century, which is when most its buildings were constructed. Most of these building were, however, built in a town grid that was laid out in the 17th century. Although there are some late 18th and early 19th century buildings, late Victorian styles make up 90% of the district&#39;s building stock.</p><br>
<p>The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2005.</p><br>

<p>The House at 130 Mohegan Avenue, also known as Rusty, the House of Steel or Steel House, is a prefabricated, modular, International Style house in New London, Connecticut, United States. The House was designed by Howard T. Fisher, who founded General Houses, Inc. in 1932. Winslow Ames, a professor of art history at Connecticut College and the art director of the Lyman Allyn Museum, had the home built after attending the Century of Progress Exposition in Chicago. The House is a single story 21 ft by 37 ft rectangular steel prefabricated home that rests upon a concrete slab. It originally had a flat roof and included an attached garage. Throughout the years, the house has undergone significant alteration, including the addition of a gable roof.</p><br>
<p>The house was used by Ames, and later by Connecticut College, as a rental property, until the structure was slated for demolition in 2004. The push to restore the house is credited to Doug Royalty, who worked with the college&#39;s Abigail Van Slyck. Completed in 2013, restoration cost $500,000 and involved several phases, including the dismantling, transportation, and reassembly of the house. The house was added to the Connecticut Historic Register in July 2007 and it was added to the National Register of Historic Places on October 28, 2009.</p><br>
<h2>Construction and use</h2><br>
<p>The house was designed by Howard T. Fisher, who founded General Houses, Inc., and commissioned by Winslow Ames, a professor of art history at Connecticut College and the art director of the Lyman Allyn Museum. In 1933, Ames decided to construct two houses on the museum-owned property after seeing prefabricated homes at the Century of Progress Exposition in Chicago. Ames had a strong interest in the Modernism movement and believed such houses would become predominant.</p><br>
<p>Completed in November 1933 and costing about $4,500 in total, the House is a single story 21 ft by 37 ft rectangular steel prefabricated home that rests upon a concrete slab. The house is frameless, with the weight borne by 4 ft by 9 ft steel panels; the exterior panels are flanged and vertically bolted through wooden T-shaped pieces. The interior wall panels are made of steel and filled with insulation. Originally the house had a flat roof, but it changed to a gable roof at an unknown time. The house has two bedrooms, one bathroom, and an open living-dining-kitchen space. The house also has an attached garage.</p><br>
<p>After its completion, Winslow Ames used the house as a rental property until 1949 when he went to work in a museum in Springfield, Missouri. The house was sold to Connecticut College. Changing the flat roof to a gable roof was a significant alteration from the original plan; the date of the alteration is unknown, but it preceded 1995.</p><br>
<h2>Restoration</h2><br>
<p>In 2008, an article in The Day stated that the push to restore the house came from conservation specialist Doug Royalty, who was researching prefabricated homes from the 1920s and 1930s. Royalty approached Abigail Van Slyck, the chairwoman of Connecticut Colleges art history department and architectural studies program about the house. The Day referred to the houses historic value as a new discovery, but its history was included in the Winslow Ames House National Register of Historic Places nomination in 1995. The Winslow Ames House nomination detailed the House&#39;s origin, but criticized its gable roof modification. After its re-discovery, Connecticut College began collecting grants to restore the house under the direction of Royalty and Van Slyck. Royalty stated that the House and Winslow Ames House are very rare, with only a few surviving examples in the United States.</p><br>
<p>In April 2007, the leaking roof was repaired. The grant was used to complete lead-paint abatement, which would make conducting other restoration work safer. It was reported that other college grants totaling $15,500 were given for preservation planning, in part by the Connecticut Trust for Historic Preservation.</p><br>
<p>The celebration for the House&#39;s completed restoration was held in October 2013. The work was performed by Milner + Carr, a conservation company.</p><br>

<p>The Cedar Creek Furnace  is a former blast furnace site near Russellville in Franklin County, Alabama. It was the first iron ore furnace in Alabama, preceding an industry that would come to dominate the state&#39;s economy in the late 19th and early 20th century.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The furnace was built by Joseph Dilliard, the Dilliard family into which Joseph was born had experience running iron works. Beginning in Jamestown and later in Middleburg Virginia. Originally using wood coal fired furnaces forging arms, utensils, and farm necessities. Later as the colonies expanded and coal was discovered wood was replaced by coal and later Coke as the primary heating elements of the Iron Works across the south developed by the Dilliard Family, in Virginia, The Carolinas, Georgia, Tennessee and Alabama fed by coal mined from holdings in West Virginia and Alabama. Buff Warren, Dilliards overseer operated the property in Franklin County around 1818 using initially slave labor, which was later compensated at the request of General Grant with a parcel being laid out in Gibson County, TN for 75 acres in the name of a Negro Woman named Sarah P Dillard and her infant child, Samuel, which was later confiscated by East Tn. puppet scalawags and carpetbaggers. A cholera outbreak in 1820 killed Buffs foreman a free negro Ed Haslam, and several of the slaves who operated the furnace. All were given a proper Christian burial.</p><br>
<p>The furnace and site were sold by Transfer of Title and purchased in November 1825 by Joseph&#39;s son John Henry (J.) Dilliard a native of LaGrange Tennessee, registered in Deed of Title James Joseph (Jeff) Dilliard, originally of Limestone County, AL, later Greeneood, MS, to Dr John Henry Dilliard, of Hardeman County, TN 11/15/1825, registered originally in the county seat of Decatur County AL, in Woodville. Upon the abolishment of Decatur County by the Alabama Legislature, as the main landowner Henry Benton Dilliard discovered upon survey dated 1818 that the size of the county did not meet Alabama Constitutional minimum square mile requirements for an independent county and petitioned that his Plantation be divided at the natural boundary between Jackson and Madison Counties allowing commerce and development in what would become New Madison and Scottsboro, both stops on the Memphis and Charleston Railroad later constructed. The original land deeds of Title remained in Jackson County at the Court House in Scotsboro until shortly after April 11, 1862, when Federal Troops occupied Limestone County, AL. As a favor to Dr John (J. J Ames Kensington) Henry Dilliard, General Grant ordered original deed registries removed from courthouses in territories ravaged by lawless guerilla vigilantes, while using his home Resolute as headquarters in Berlin, TN. Dr John H Dilliard, a fierce Southerner loyal to the South yet overwhelmingly opposed to secession left numerous volumes of first hand diary entries of Grants time in Berlin and Grand Junction, referred to by affectionately by locals to this day as Little Greenwood, Dr. John Henry Dilliard, Affectionately known as Jake by his beloved wife was later killed in an ambush outside of Holly Springs Mississippi, Along with his teenage daughter Annabella, the area now known as "LaGrange, TN Lies directly north northwest of what is now known as Michigan City Mississippi."</p><br>
<p>Josephs son John Anderson Dilliard Sr. was later killed by these same vigilantes better known in West Tennessee as Fieldings Army, a paid group of assassins from East Tennessee more interested in theft and murder of innocent civilians and wounded Union and Confederate soldiers alike to illegally acquire land and assets than rules of war or law and order. While caring his son, Captain John Anderson Dilliard Jr. whom was wounded fighting for the South at Shiloh, John Anderson Dilliard Sr. was suddenly removed from his home in the middle of the night by Fielding Hurst, strung up in the front yard while the women and children were forced to watch, in an attempt to torture the Dilliard until he revealed where the families gold and silver had been buried. After refusing to do so he was taken by the guerillas and later murdered outside Fort Smith, Arkansas. The Scoundrel guerrillas in West Tennessee during the Civil War had nothing in common with the noble efforts of militias fighting the British during the American Revolution.</p><br>
<p>John Henry Dilliard (Jones) operated the iron works implemented many improvements to the process, and the furnace became a commercial success producing high quality product. The furnace operated until around 1859 to 1863, possibly due to a flood on the creek that reached the furnace and extinguished it, hardening the metal and rendering the furnace inoperable. More likely according to family oral history was the Furnace was ordered shut down by John H Dilliard in a word of honor agreement between General Grant and Dilliard in return for not burning his main Plantation Home Resolute, which was later burned by Union deserters from Ohio, and safely transferring documents to federal safety. Woodlawn the Home of John Anderson and Sarah Nutt Dilliard of Natchez is now referred to as the Michie home, and was General Shermans West TN Headquarters, while Grant used Woodlawn while planning Garrisons Raid then transferred his West TN Headquarters to Resolute while planning the operation to take Memphis TN. Resolute was located 3 ½ miles to the south east of Grand Junction at the end of a.2 mile White Post Oak and Eastern Red Cedar lined alley running north from the main east west state line road running parallel to the old Memphis and Charleston Railroad bed, now Hwy 72.</p><br>
<p>Before the furnace was constructed, most local blacksmiths used imported iron. The furnace&#39;s pig iron was used by locals and also transported to the Tennessee River at Middleburg Landing, later renamed Pittsburg Landing, then shipped east to Cuba Landing in Waverly, TN and shipped to New Orleans, Mobile, and Biloxi then overseas to London, England, Paris, France; and as far away as St Petersburg Russia.</p><br>
<p>Erected 1815 by Joseph Dilliard who used the iron to make utensils for early settlers. Iron was from surface Hematite ore smelted by charcoal fires.</p><br>
<h2>Site</h2><br>
<p>The furnace was situated in a bend of Cedar Creek, from which it gets its name. The furnace was 15 ft high, 25 – in diameter at the base tapering to an 8 ft diameter chimney at the top. It was built of limestone quarried nearby and lined with refractory brick made on site. It was fired with charcoal made from the surrounding forests. A bellows which supplied the furnace with air was powered by a 12-foot (3.5-m) wide mill race which was diverted from the creek. The mill race also powered a forge hammer, grist mill, and saw mill. A warehouse was built on the river bank, only the foundation of which remains. The overseer&#39;s house was located northeast of the furnace.

<p>The William L. Holmes House, also known as Rose Farm, was built in 1848 by William L. Holmes in Oregon City, Oregon. One of the oldest structures in Oregon, it was the site of the inauguration of the first Territorial Governor of Oregon, Joseph Lane in 1849. The house replaced an 1844 log cabin built by Holmes, a South Carolina native who moved with his family to Oregon in 1843.</p><br>
<p>The house is a -story frame structure. It has been extensively altered, with the removal of a rear ell. The changes have not been well documented, and the National Register of Historic Places nomination notes that information about the house, including its Historic American Buildings Survey data, includes "romanticized misinformation."</p><br>
<p>The Holmes house was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on December 2, 1974.</p><br>
