<p>Deadwood Draw is part of the Sidney-Black Hills Trail near Sidney, Nebraska, which provided supplies for gold mining operations in the Black Hills from 1874 to 1881. The draw served as a staging area for freight wagons carrying supplies to the Black Hills and contains ruts caused by the wheels of the freight wagons and the animals that pulled them. The draw is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>Background</h2><br>
<p>In 1868, the USA government signed the Fort Laramie Treaty, which promised the Lakota people that the Black Hills would be exempt from white settlement. However, in 1874, an expedition into the Black Hills led by George Armstrong Custer, found deposits of gold. In 1876, Custer&#39;s discovery of gold led to the Black Hills Gold Rush. Initially, the U. S. government attempted to purchase or lease the Black Hills from the Lakota, but the government was unwilling to pay the price asked by the Lakota. When the talks broke down, the U. S. government ignored the Fort Laramie Treaty of 1868 and allowed the gold seekers to rush into the Black Hills. The Black Hills gold rush subsequently created a high demand for supplies by the gold seekers.</p><br>
<p>In 1876, Sidney, Nebraska was a small town on the Union Pacific railroad.</p><br>
<p>With the opening of the Clarke bridge, the Sidney-Black Hills trail began carrying larger quantities of freight to and from the Black Hills mining operations. During the summer of 1876, the Pony Express began operating along the trail, as did several stagecoach lines. In 1876, there were an estimated 10,000 gold seekers in the Black Hills and their demand for supplies was so high that approximately 50 to 75 freight wagons left daily from Sidney, each wagon carrying 8,000 lb of supplies.</p><br>
<p>In 1879, the Black Hills gold rush ended and so did the need for high passenger service along the trail. Company gold mining, however, continued and so the need for freight transportation along the trail increased. From 1878 to 1879, an estimated 20,000,000 lb of supplies were transported to and from Sidney. By 1880, with the completion of the Chicago and Northwestern Railroad to Pierre, the transportation of freight along the trail dramatically dropped. It was quicker and cheaper to transport supplies along the new railroad than to use freight wagons along the Sidney-Black Hills trail. By the end of 1882, the trail was completely closed.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>Deadwood Draw is located about 3 mi northwest of Sidney, Nebraska, and close to the Union Pacific railroad from which supplies could be loaded onto freight wagons headed for the Black Hills via the Sidney-Black Hills trail. The draw is a wide, flat area that gently slopes up and out of Lodgepole Creek Valley and away from Union Pacific railroad and on to the Sidney-Black Hills trail. A gully channel meanders along the draw and ranges in depth from 3 ft to 10 ft. As of 1992, there were three sets of wagon-wheel ruts and ruts cause by the oxen and horses that pulled the wagons. The rut pairs range in width from 4.1 m to 5 m.</p><br>
<h2>Historical significance</h2><br>
<p>Deadwood Draw was a staging area for freight wagons using the Sidney-Black Hills trail. As of 1992, when it was placed on the National Register of Historic Places, it had well-preserved ruts caused by freight wagons, stage coaches, and the animals that pulled them from 1874 to 1881. On the south end of the draw there is a depression in the ground that is thought to be the remnants of a 19th-century dugout that may have been occupied during the period of historical significance. Close to the middle of the draw is a small limestone quarry that supplied much of the limestone used to construct early buildings in Sidney.</p><br>
<p>Brandywine Park was the first city park established by the city of Wilmington, Delaware. It is located on the banks of Brandywine Creek, between Augustine Road and North Market Street. The park was established in 1886, and was designed by Samuel Canby, the city&#39;s parks commissioner, in consultation with Frederick Law Olmsted. Although initially laid out as a bucolic park with winding paths and roadways, it has since expanded to include active recreation facilities.</p><br>
<p>The park is approximately 178 acres and it spans both the north and south banks of the Brandywine. Much of the park has been preserved as a mix of wilderness and open space with walking trails and scenic views of the creek and surrounding woods. The open space section of the park includes two formal gardens, a rose garden and a cherry blossom garden. The Brandywine Zoo was created in 1905 and now occupies 4.75 acres of the park. Brandywine Park also includes active recreational facilities including playgrounds, athletic fields, and Abessinio Stadium.</p><br>
<p>The park was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976. It is a unit of Delaware&#39;s Wilmington State Parks.</p><br>
<p>The Gregory Dipping Vat is a historic cattle dipping facility at 122 Rogers Street on the outskirts of Lake Village, Arkansas. The vat is a concrete structure 27 ft long, 4 ft wide, and 7 ft deep. It is located on a grassy lane off Rogers Road, in a wooded area not far from Bayou Macon, whose waters were used to fill it. The vat was built c. 1930 as part of a statewide program to eradicate Texas tick fever, which was at the time a serious problem affecting the area&#39;s cattle farmers. After the program was ended in 1943, the vat became a play area for local youth. It remains in good condition as a reminder of the economically important tick eradication program.</p><br>
<p>The vat was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2006.</p><br>
<p>The Harden Family Cemetery is a historic cemetery in rural Chicot County, Arkansas. It is located in a horse pasture off Hardin Road, north of the hamlet of Jennie, which is on Arkansas Highway 13 south of Lake Village.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The small family cemetery, which is not visible from the road, contains fourteen marked graves, dating from 1892 to the 1960s. All are for members of the Harden family, who were an African-American family prominent in the life of the small community, and among the earliest of their race to settle the area. The patriarch of the family, John Harden, Sr., was a freed slave who died in 1892. One grandson was a local pastor, another was a schoolteacher.</p><br>
<p>The cemetery was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004.</p><br>

<h2>Owners</h2><br>
<p>The original owners were Capt. Charles Felix George von Plehwe and his spouse Mina Sophie von Plehwe, who had two children, Pauline and Frederick. George, as he was called, was the nephew of Senior General Bernard von Plehwe of the Prussian Cavalry. George&#39;s brother, Otto von Plehwe (a.k.a. Fritz von Plehwe), immigrated in 1868 together with his orderly, the former valet of his father, Joseph Peter Potschernick. Joseph had the fare to return to Germany but elected to remain with the von Plehwe family in the United States.</p><br>
<p>The buildings on a 100-acre ground are now owned and maintained by George Strait.</p><br>

Its front facade is five bays wide, with sash windows arranged symmetrically around the center entrance, and a pair of gabled two-window dormers in the roof face. The entrance is recessed under a segmented-arch opening, along with flanking sidelight and transom windows. The interior follows a center hall plan, with two rooms on either side of the main hall and in the attic. The ell houses the kitchen on the ground floor and bedrooms above.</p><br>
<p>The house was built about 1837, and is a good example of a traditional colonial form, the Cape-style house, adapted to the then-modern heating method of wood stoves instead of open fireplaces. It is here that George Hoyt Whipple was born in 1878, and the house remained in the family until he donated it to the town for use as a museum. Whipple was awarded the Nobel Prize for Medicine in 1934 (along with two others) for his work in developing an understanding and cure for pernicious anemia, and did much groundbreaking work to improve the understanding of human liver function.</p><br>
<p>Thayers Hotel is a historic hotel building at 136 Main Street in downtown Littleton, New Hampshire, United States. Built in 1843, it is a prominent precursor to the regions later grand resort hotels, and a distinctive example of Greek Revival architecture with a monumental temple front. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982. It is now operated as Thayer&#39;s Inn.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Thayers Hotel is located in Littletons downtown central business district, on the south side of Main Street near the post office. It is a -story wood-frame structure, with a gabled roof and clapboarded exterior. The roof&#39;s front gable is fully pedimented, and projects beyond the building face, supported by massive three-story fluted Doric columns. Behind this portico, the facade is five bays wide, with doorways at the center of each level, those on the upper floors opening onto balconies supported by elaborate carved brackets. The building is crowned by an octagonal cupola. The interior has retained its basic floorplan and many original finishes. Its attic level, originally a ballroom, was converted into bedrooms in the early 20th century.</p><br>
<p>The hotel was built in 1843, and was a precursor of the grand resort hotels that were later built in northern New Hampshire. It was built in anticipation of the arrival of the railroad, and was a social center of the town from its opening. It has served as a backdrop for political rallies dating from the Civil War to the late 20th century, and parts of its architecture were sought by Henry Ford for his museum of Americana in the 1930s.</p><br>
<p>The Anthony–Kinney Farm is a historic farm and resort complex at 505 Point Judith Road in Narragansett, Rhode Island. The property, now a town-owned recreation area known as Sunset Farm, saw agricultural use for over 300 years, and was converted into a private resort around the turn of the 20th century. The Point Judith area was among the first in Rhode Island to be purchased from the local Narragansett people, in 1657. The farm was acquired by James E. Anthony in 1850, who sold it to Francis Kinney in 1897. Kinney maintained much of the land in agricultural use, but built an extravagant resort complex, including a distinctive East Indian bungalow as a clubhouse, and built a private nine-hole golf course. Kinney died in 1908, and the property was owned by the Chase family until 1991, when most of it was purchased by the town. It is managed by the town as an active farm, and the restored clubhouse is available for rent as function space.</p><br>
<p>The farm was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2013.</p><br>
<p>The David S. Baker Estate, also known as Cedar Spring Farm, consists of a pair of related properties at 51 and 67 Prospect Avenue in the Wickford village of North Kingstown, Rhode Island. David Sherman Baker, Jr., a prominent local lawyer and contender for statewide offices built the house around 1882 with his wife. Members of the Baker family built the Italianate, the older of the two houses, 51 Prospect Avenue, which is a story mansard-roofed that is modest in size but features an elaborate wrap around veranda decorated in fairly elaborated Italianate and Second Empire styling. The house at 67 Prospect is much larger story construction, with a story tower and front veranda, again in eclectic Second Empire style. It is one of the largest houses in Wickford, and was referred to by the family as the "Big House". It is unclear whether Baker built the Big House to accommodate his growing family, or as a venue for functions that were part of his political and social activities.</p><br>
<p>The properties were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2011.</p><br>

<p>The Covington County Courthouse and Jail is a historic courthouse in Andalusia, the seat of Covington County, Alabama. It was built from 1914 to 1916 along with a jail. Together, the buildings were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The 1916 courthouse is the fifth to serve Covington County. The fourth courthouse was built of brick in 1896 in the center of Courthouse Square (which sits in front of the current courthouse). When the Central of Georgia Railway reached Andalusia in 1899, followed shortly by the Alabama and Florida Railroad, the town saw massive growth; population rose from 270 at the 1890 census to 2,480 by 1910. Having outgrown the prior courthouse, construction on a new courthouse began in 1914 and was completed in 1916. A jail was built behind the courthouse.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<h3>Courthouse</h3><br>
<p>The courthouse is designed in a Beaux-Arts style, common among public buildings in the early 20th century. The original portion of the building is rectangular and built of combed granite. Two wings were built onto the rear of the building, which were later enclosed in the middle.</p><br>
<p>At the center of the façade is a hexastyle portico with Corinthian columns supporting a denticulated triangular pediment. A medallion with a clock adorns the pediment. Three entry doors, since replaced with modern medal-frame doors, are separated by Corinthian pilasters and topped with a simple lintel. The doors are flanked by semi-domed niches. On the second floor, three sets of three stacked windows sit above the entry.</p><br>
<p>Windows on the front of the building outside the portico are sets of three one-over-one double-hung windows on each floor. The second floor windows each have decorative sills, and relief panels sit below. Windows on the east and west sides of the building, including the wing additions, have only two windows per set. Entries are finished similarly to the front, Corinthian pilasters supporting a bracketed cornice.</p><br>
<p>The interior is centered on an octagonal atrium, with floors of white marble and walls of grey marble with gold leaf accents. A Y-shaped staircase at the rear of the atrium leads to a second-floor gallery and offices.</p><br>
<h3>Jail</h3><br>
<p>The jail is a two-story, T-shaped, red brick structure with Italianate details. It features a parapet roof with a bracketed eave, simulating a mansard roof. Quoins on the building corners, dentils between the brackets, and decorative green and white tile panels provide ornamentation to the building. The main entry, facing the rear of the courthouse, is on a porch treated similarly to the rest of the building.</p><br>
<p>The Kelly Field Historic District is located in southwestern San Antonio, Bexar County, Texas. It is the center portion of the base, east of the runways. The boundaries of the 1600 buildings are Billy Mitchell Road on the north, Wagner on the east, England on the south and S. Frank Luke Drive on the west. The 1700 block of officer quarters are bounded on the north by Chennault Street, the east and south by Chennault Circle, and Van Nostrand Drive on the west. The historic district contains 58 contributing and non-contributing buildings, structures, objects and sites, and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2003.</p><br>
<p>Camp Kelly was established on May 7, 1917, to be a US Army training facility for pilots and support staff during World War I. The first airplanes arrived on April 5, and on April 6 the United States declared war on Germany. The increased training activities necessitated more facilities and the acquisition of additional land. The original field became Kelly Field No. 1. The new facilities became Kelly Field No. 2. Military cut-backs followed the 1918 Armistice with Germany, and the two facilities ceased training pilots but functioned as supply depots. The two fields were re-designated in 1925 as Duncan Field (Kelly No. 1) and Kelly Field (Kelly No. 2). The latter included the Air Service Advanced Flying School where Charles Lindbergh earned his wings, graduating first in his class on March 14, 1925.</p><br>
<p>In 1926, the Army Air Corps Act authorized a 5-year period of expansion to begin July 1, 1927. As a result, both Kelly No. 1 and No. 2 began being developed as permanent aviator training facilities. In 1995, the United States government began realignment of military facilities. Kelly was closed in 2001, partially combined with Lackland Air Force Base. The remainder was taken over by the Greater Kelly Development Authority of the state of Texas and redeveloped as a commercial and military industrial center.</p><br>

<p>The Gilsum Stone Arch Bridge carries Surry Road over the Ashuelot River in Gilsum, New Hampshire. Built in 1862–63, it is one of the highest stone arch bridges in the state. It has a span of 47 ft, and an average height over the river of 36 ft. The roadway is 43 ft above the riverbed. It stands on the site of four previous bridges, where the river passes through a deep gorge. The previous bridge was also a stone arch bridge, which was built in 1860 and collapsed  a few months later. It was designed by William Leonard Kingsbury, a local official; its builders are not known because the towns records were destroyed in a fire. The present bridges vault is carefully constructed from dry-laid granite voussoirs that were shaped for a very precise fit, with larger stones at the lower ends of the arch, and a smaller ones at the crown. Some of the stones were left with rough surfaces, while others were hammered smooth.</p><br>
<p>In contrast to the fine stonework of the arch, the abutments and retaining walls are constructed of split-faced granite in irregular courses, wedged in place by stone chips. The northeast abutment continues along the river as a wing wall up to a massive stone pier, the former site of a mill dam. The southeast abutment is a granite reconstruction of coursed ashlar over concrete, done in 1951. The original granite coping which lined the roadway shoulders has been replaced by concrete with steel guard cables, c. 1920s.</p><br>
<p>The bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.</p><br>
<p>The First Baptist Church of Tiverton, commonly called the Old Stone Church, is a historic church property at 7 Old Stone Church Road in Tiverton, Rhode Island. The property consists of a cluster of buildings, including a church, parsonage, and parish house, along with a cemetery, on a largely wooded parcel of 38 acre. The timber-framed field stone church building was built in 1841, the parsonage in 1885, and the parish house c.1879. The oldest documented cemetery burials are from the mid-19th century. Portions of the property are lined by period stone walls, including some that delineate former fields  that would have been farmed by the minister. The church was built by a congregation whose roots date to 1680, making it one of the oldest Baptist congregations in the United States.</p><br>
<p>The church was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2013.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The congregation of the First Baptist Church dates from about 1680 when it was established in what was then called Dartmouth by John Cooke, who came to America on the Mayflower, and was ex-communicated from the Plymouth Congregationalist Church in 1657. At the time, it was illegal to practice as a Baptist in Massachusetts Bay Colony &ndash; which Dartmouth (Tiverton) was part of &ndash; so services were held in people&#39;s homes. In 1752, Tiverton and nearby Little Compton were separated from Massachusetts and given to Rhode Island, and Colonel Job Almy granted 35 acres of land to the Baptist congregation, on which a simple wood structure was built for worship.</p><br>
<p>Because of the need for more room, this was torn down and replaced in 1841 by a timber-framed field stone structure, which is the church that still stands today.A plaque on the church indicates that at the time it was built, it was called the "Free-Will Baptist Church". A parsonage was built in 1885, and a parish house c.1879.</p><br>
<p>The church was famous throughout the state for its clambakes, which began in 1864. Some 4,000 people attended the event in 1875. The church also began to host an auction and bazaar, sometimes featuring livestock, demonstrations and an antique auction, in the 1940s.</p><br>
<p>The Allen–West House is an historic house at 153 George Street in Barrington, Rhode Island. The main block of the two story timber-frame house was built by Joseph Allen, a housewright. It is one of the older houses in Barrington, hearkening to the days when it was still part of Swansea, Massachusetts, and is a well-preserved rare example of a vernacular square house plan. The house stands amid grounds that were farmed from the 17th to the 20th centuries by the owners of this house, who included members of the Allen family until the mid-19th century, and the Wests until the mid-20th. The house has had two major additions: a kitchen ell added to the east in the 19th century and extended in the 1950s, and a single-story enclosed porch on the west side.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2013.</p><br>
<p>The James Gowing Farm, also once known as Staghead Farm, is a historic farmstead on Page Road in Dublin, New Hampshire. It is now the centerpiece of the Dublin Christian Academy campus. The original -story Cape style house was built by James Gowing, Jr., not long after moving to the area. This structure is now part of a larger complex of buildings, many of which are Colonial Revival buildings built in the 1930s, when the house was also restored. The farmstead was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<p>The property has had several interesting owners. James Gowing, Jr.s son, Almerin, was a local militia leader and town selectman. The property was bought in 1853 by Samuel Hale, who served as Governor of New Hampshire 1882–83. In 1895 it was acquired by Louis Cabot (whose family manufactured Cabot Stain), who made it part of his large gentlemans farm. After deteriorating in the 1920s and 30s, the property was acquired by Mrs. Selina Riker, heir to the Riker Drug fortune in 1937. Mrs. Riker retained the firm of Belknap & Weir to design a Colonial Revival farm complex, of which the restored Gowing farmhouse became a part. Their design was developed as an extension of the Gowing house. The property was bought in 1954 by F. Nelson Blount, the president of the Ocean Spray cooperative. Blount donated the property for the establishment of the Dublin Christian Academy in 1964.</p><br>
<p>The Joseph Gowing Farm is a historic farmhouse on Page Road in Dublin, New Hampshire. Built in 1908 as part of a gentleman&#39;s farm, it is a reconstruction of a late-18th century farmhouse, and a good example of Georgian Revival architecture.

<p>The Joseph Gowing Farm is located in a rural setting of southeastern Dublin, on the west side of Page Road about 0.3 mi southwest of its junction with Windmill Hill Road. It is a two-story wood-frame structure, with a hip roof and clapboarded exterior. The front facade faces east, and has a slightly asymmetrical arrangement of windows around the center entrance. The entry is framed by pilasters and a corniced entablature. The building is connected by a single-story ell to a large 19th-century barn with cupola.</p><br>
<p>The house was built in 1908, reconstructing a c. 1793 farmhouse that was destroyed by fire. It was built by Louis Cabot, an industrialist who owned a large gentleman&#39;s farm, whose manager occupied this house. The structure is technically Georgian Revival, as it is a reconstruction, but it is supposedly faithful to the original, which had added Federal style details, including corner pilasters and a bracketed cornice. The original house, in addition to its association with the locally prominent Gowing family, was also owned by Governor Samuel Hale before becoming part of the Cabot farm.</p><br>
<p>The Grafton Bank is a historic bank building located at 225 E. Main St. in Grafton, Illinois. The Classical Revival building was constructed in 1913. The buff brick building features extensive terra cotta ornamentation on its front facade. A Diocletian window and terra cotta transom bar top the entrance, and terra cotta pilasters stand on either side. A classical entablature tops the entrance; the entablature includes an architrave, a frieze inscribed with the bank&#39;s name, and a dentillated three-section cornice. A brick parapet wall tops the facade; a stepped parapet recedes from the wall along the sides of the building. The bank which originally occupied the building closed in the 1930s, and the building has since been used for a variety of other, mainly commercial, purposes.</p><br>
<p>The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on February 16, 1994.</p><br>
<p>The building was featured on The Profit, a CNBC program.</p><br>
<p>O&#39;Fallons Bluff is a section of bluffs about 20 mi long that run along the south side of the Platte River near Sutherland in Lincoln County, Nebraska. The Oregon and California trails ran up and over these bluffs. They were characterized by American pioneers heading west to Oregon and California as sparse in vegetation with a number of violent incidents involving Native Americans. In the early 1860s, a Pony Express station was located about 5 mi west of where the wagon trails went up the bluff. During construction of Interstate 80, the steep part of the bluffs were cut away but wagon ruts remained, which are marked by iron hoops signifying wagon wheels. It was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>There is relatively little recorded on OFallons Bluff other than diary entries by American pioneers heading west to Oregon and California. The bluffs were close to the Platte River and, due to the terrain, the Oregon and California trails ran up and over the bluffs. Most sources indicate that the bluffs were named after Indian agent Benjamin OFallon, but the origin of the name may be unclear.</p><br>
<p>The area around the bluffs were described as an "alkali belt" and alkali was found in both the water near O&#39;Fallons Bluff as well as the soil rendering much of the area near the bluffs devoid of vegetation. On June 13, 1881, Emily Towell wrote in her diary that "There were few flowers to be seen, only withered poppies, prickly pears and sunflowers. Now and then we glimpsed a few spears of green grass."</p><br>
<p>Although there are few detailed accounts, OFallons Bluff was known for incidents between Native Americans and non-Native Americans who traveled there. For example, Thomas Twiss (an agent for the Upper Platte Indian Agency) reported that Almon W. Babbitt and two companions were killed by 13 Cheyenne Native Americans at OFallons Bluff in 1856. Eugene Ware, a junior officer in the 7th Iowa Cavalry in 1863, wrote about several incidents involving Native American attacks in the area.</p><br>
<p>On June 18, 1846 the Donner Party passed by O&#39;Fallons Bluff on their journey along the Oregon Trail to California.</p><br>
<p>In 1859, the Central Overland California and Pikes Peak Express Company used O&#39;Fallons Bluff station as a Pony Express station. The station was located around 2 mi south and 4 mi west of Sutherland, Nebraska and 5 mi west of where the Oregon and California Trails climbed up the bluffs.</p><br>
<h2>After construction of Interstate 80</h2><br>
<p>Much of OFallons Bluff was removed when Interstate 80 was constructed, though remnants of wagon-wheel ruts from the Oregon and California trails still remain. These trail ruts parallel to Interstate 80 ranging from only a few feet (or meters) to about a mile (a little over a kilometer) from it. The remaining ruts that run up and over OFallon&#39;s Bluff are marked by iron hoops representing wagon wheels and can be seen close to Interstate 80.</p><br>
<p>In 1864, Eugene Ware reported that General Robert Byington Mitchell stopped on OFallons Bluff, had it fortified, and ordered a company of cavalry to guard it. In 1966, archaeologists excavated a rectangular portion of a ditch at the base of OFallons Bluff that was thought to be the remnants of the fortifications erected in 1864. However, after excavating over 50 m of trenches, only scattered animal bones were found.</p><br>
<p>The Slaten-LaMarsh House is a historic house located at 25 E. Main St. in Grafton, Illinois. The house was built circa 1840 for D.C. Slaten, the first mayor of Grafton. The house has a side hall plan, a design featuring a hall on one side and rooms connected by the hall on the other. It is a rare -story side-hall plan house, as other houses using the plan in Grafton are all two stories. Locally quarried limestone was used to build the house; at the time of its construction, Grafton limestone was only used to build structures within the city, though it later became a widespread building material in the region. The limestone blocks on the front facade are visibly more ashlar than those on the sides, a masonry choice which gives the front corners a quoin-like appearance.</p><br>
<p>The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on February 16, 1994.</p><br>
<p>The Phillipsdale Historic District encompasses a historic mill village along the Seekonk River in East Providence, Rhode Island. The village grew up around the Richmond Paper Company Mill Complex, built 1883-1887, which is separately listed on the National Register. It also includes 75 units of worker housing, as well as five houses  that predate the mill complex&#39;s construction. The Phillipsdale area was the largest source of employment in East Providence between 1893 and 1910. The district is centered on Roger Williams Avenue and Bourne Avenue, and includes properties on Ruth Avenue and the grid of roads between Ruth and Roger Williams. It also includes Omega Pond  and the Omega Pond Railroad Bridge.</p><br>
<p>The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2011.</p><br>
