<p>The Kate Chopin House, located at 4232 McPherson Avenue in St. Louis, Missouri, is the former home of author Kate Chopin. The house was built in 1897 by contractor Oscar F. Humphrey. Chopin moved to the house in 1903 and lived there until her death in 1904; while living in the house, she wrote her last poem and story. Chopin grew up in St. Louis before moving to Louisiana with her husband; after his death, she returned to St. Louis, where she began her writing career. Her stories discussed the evolving role of women in American society, and contemporary literary critics considered her one of the most significant St. Louis authors of the period. The house at 4232 McPherson is her only surviving former residence in St. Louis.</p><br>
<p>The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on February 14, 1986.</p><br>
<p>The Mendota to Wabasha Military Road, Cannon River Section is a 3,200 ft fragment of a road in Red Wing in the USA state of Minnesota. The road once stretched from Mendota to Wabasha and was planned in the earliest years of Minnesota Territory before Minnesota became a state. This particular fragment of road, which spans the Cannon River bottomlands, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991. It was listed as part of a statewide survey that identified historic fragments of the military wagon roads built between 1850 and 1861. The survey found that a road fragment could be considered historic if it was unpaved, that it is "long enough to evoke a sense of destination" where an observer at one end could not see the other end, and that the setting of the road had not been intruded upon with recent buildings or roads.</p><br>
<p>When Minnesota became a territory in 1849, Henry Hastings Sibley lobbied the United States Congress for aid for building roads. Congress had supported road building in other territories, and they approved the Minnesota request for the purposes of defense, for benefit of the settlers, and to increase the value of the public lands to be sold to settlers. The Minnesota Road Act of July 1850 appropriated $40,000 to construct four military wagon roads and to survey a fifth. Of that, $5,000 was allocated for a road from Mendota to Wabasha, on the west bank of the Mississippi River. The Mendota to Wabasha road was surveyed and marked by the Corps of Topographical Engineers in 1851 and 1853, but work on the section at the Cannon River did not begin until after 1854, when money was available to build a causeway and a main bridge across the river bottoms. Captain James H. Simpson contracted with Thomas J. Frazier in December 1854 to build a 150 ft truss bridge, which was finished by September 1855. Simpson also contracted with the firm of Mason and Whipple to build the causeway and a couple smaller bridges, but they were unable to complete the contract. C.R. Read, of Reads Landing, was therefore brought in to finish the job, which was done by the end of 1856.</p><br>
<p>The main Cannon River bridge was damaged by flooding in 1856, and the 1857 federal appropriation only provided $2,000 for repairs, although Captain George Thom insisted that repairs would cost $3,000. The Goodhue County Commissioners repaired the bridge. There were no further federal appropriations after 1857, and the military road program came to an end four years later. Burnside Township and the county assumed maintenance of the road at that point.</p><br>
<p>In 1898 the Minnesota Constitution was amended so the state could fund road construction and other internal improvements. The Minnesota Legislature passed a bill allowing county boards to designate state roads and receive tax funding. The section of road crossing the Cannon River, known as Cannon Bottom Road, was designated State Road 3. With tax revenue available, the county constructed new bridges in 1911 and 1915, and they regraded and graveled the road in 1919. In 1920, a constitutional amendment established a state trunk highway system, and State Road 3 became Trunk Highway 3. A new bridge over the Cannon River was built in 1921. The Minnesota Highway Commissioner found fault with the road&#39;s alignment, though, so a completely new alignment was constructed to the west in 1931. This section of road, now part of USA Highway 61, shortened the distance by 0.35 mi and is still in use today. The old road reverted to the jurisdiction of Burnside Township, which was subsequently annexed by the city of Red Wing in 1971.</p><br>
<p>The section listed on the National Register begins at a junction with Collischan Road on the north river bank. It runs to the southeast, away from the bluffs, and crosses the Cannon River on the 1921 concrete-girder bridge. The National Register-listed section then continues for 3,000 ft on a causeway, with two bridges measuring about 93 ft each, built in 1911 and 1915. The listed section ends at an intersection with the Cannon Valley Trail, formerly the Chicago Great Western Railroad, and then continues on as Cannon Bottom Road, a signed city street. As of 2015 the northern, 1915 bridge has been removed.</p><br>
<p>The Joseph D. and Margaret Kelly House is a historic residence in The Dalles, Oregon, United States. Joseph Kelly, a highly successful farmer during the establishment of wheat as a major cash crop in Wasco County, retired young to this 1908 blufftop house and continued his career as a landlord and businessman. He and his wife Margaret, a teacher and member of another important wheat family, became a prominent philanthropic figures in The Dalles.

<p>Lansdowne is a historic estate that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places in Natchez, Adams County, Mississippi. The property began as a 727-acre, antebellum, hunting estate - like the estates of the landed gentry in England. After the Civil War Lansdowne became a cotton plantation. Cotton, corn, sheep and cattle were raised there until about 1960. The original owner&#39;s residence and 120 acres of the original estate are still owned and occupied by the descendants of the builder, who open it periodically for tours.</p><br>
<h2>Location</h2><br>
<p>Lansdowne is located on M.L. King, Jr. Road, one mile north of the Natchez city limits (The driveway into the property is now known as Marshall Road). Lansdowne adjoined the Homewood estate.</p><br>
<h2>Pre Civil War History</h2><br>
<p>Land previously known as the Nathaniel Ivy tract, became known as Lansdowne when George Matthews Marshall, a Princeton University graduate, and his new bride Charlotte Hunt built their lavish home on the 727 acres in 1852–1853 in Adams County, Mississippi near Natchez. The hunting estate was named after the Marshall&#39;s English friend, the Marquess of Lansdowne, probably because it made them feel like English landed gentry.</p><br>
<p>George and Charlottes great wealth originated from both of their parents families. Charlottes father, Jefferson County, Mississippi planter David Hunt - one of the only 35 millionaires in the USA in 1860 - gave the five of his seven children who reached adulthood before the Civil War $70,000 (by his valuation) in assets from his estate. Each received at least one plantation, about 100 enslaved Africans and a set of silver from Baltimore. Thus, Charlotte received the Lansdowne property on the high ground near Natchez for her home, and Arcola cotton Plantation in the very fertile flood-prone land of Tensas Parish near the Mississippi River town of Waterproof for an income. Presumably, the Lansdowne property was passed down to David Hunts wife (Ann Ferguson) from her grandfather (Robert Dunbar - wealthy planter and patriarch of the rural Dunbar clan), who had lived on the site before moving on to Oakley Grove Plantation at the site of the current Adams County airport.</p><br>
<p>Georges father, banker and planter Levin R. Marshall - also one of the 35 USA millionaires in 1860 - was surely involved in financing Georges fine residence on Lansdowne, as well as, in expanding Arcola Plantation. Levin R. Marshall lived at the suburban Natchez estate known as Richmond.</p><br>
<p>In 1860 George&#39;s Louisiana and Mississippi real estate (land and non-movable items) was valued at $319,000 (~$ in ). This did not include his personal property, such as furniture, livestock, enslaved Africans, plantation equipment, cash, stocks, etc.</p><br>
<p>The following is more information about the (approximately $91,000) 727 acre Lansdowne Estate in Adams County, Mississippi in 1860.</p><br>
<p>George Marshall had $75,000 in real estate in Adams County in 1860, which included the 727 acres and buildings of Lansdowne.</p><br>
<p>George Marshall had $16,000 in personal property in Adams County in 1860, which included sixteen enslaved Africans, the main house furnishings of Lansdowne, and the livestock and equipment on Lansdowne.</p><br>
<p>Susan Gruby Washington was an enslaved African at Lansdowne, who came from Guyana, Africa. She stayed on Lansdowne, working as a nurse for the Marshall children after the Civil War. She was married to Robert the butler. They lived in the two rooms of the second floor of the kitchen building with the cook immediately behind the main house. She died on February 25, 1918, and was buried in the cemetery there.</p><br>
<p>The following is more information about (the approximately $254,000) Arcola cotton Plantation in 1860, which supported Lansdowne.</p><br>
<p>Value of Real Property (land - 1,000 improved and 700 unimproved acres - and other non-moveable objects) $119,000</p><br>
<p>Value of Personal Property - $135,000</p><br>
<p>$55,000 worth of implements and machinery</p><br>
<p>125 enslaved Africans in 28 dwellings</p><br>
<p>$7,940 worth of livestock, which included four horses, 41 mules, 16 milch cows, 23 working oxen, 25 sheep, 150 swine, and 30 cattle</p><br>
<p>1,000 bales of ginned cotton - 400 pounds each, 6,000 bushels of Indian corn, 100 pounds of wool, 50 bushels of peas and beans, 50 bushels of Irish potatoes, 300 bushels of sweet potatoes, $500 of slaughtered meat</p><br>
<h2>Civil War and Postbellum History</h2><br>
<p>George Marshall fought in the Civil War. He was wounded at the Battle of Shiloh, returned home, and paid someone else to fight on in his place. During the War on January 8, 1865, eleven Union soldiers broke into Lansdowne to rob the Marshalls. They did not get much because the butler, Robert, had hidden the Marshalls silver under the floor of the mansion. In frustration the soldiers took a few pieces of the Marshalls fine china and smashed it along the road as they left.</p><br>
<p>With the enslaved African labor from before the war now replaced with share croppers, most of the previously highly profitable plantations began struggling to make a profit. In general, the children of David Hunt had to sell off Cincinnati, Ohio real estate investments inherited from their father, and take out mortgages on their plantations to rebuild their plantations and to make up their losses for as many years as they could.</p><br>
<p>After the American Civil War of 1861–1865, the Marshalls Arcola Plantation was lost; so cotton, corn, sheep and cattle were raised on Lansdowne until about 1960. The owners residence and 120 acres still belong to the Marshall descendants.</p><br>
<h2>The Marshall&#39;s Residence</h2><br>
<p>The residence, built ca. 1853, was designed in the Greek Revival architectural style. A stairwell in the butlers pantry leads to storage rooms in the basement and attic. The basement had wine and dairy cellars. The attic is finished off nicely with gaslight fixtures. On the right side of the center hall are three bedrooms. Due to the impending Civil War, the Marshalls finished the home quickly, leaving off the second floor. Because of this, the planned library became the middle bedroom instead. Two smaller structures flank the rear courtyard behind the house. During antebellum times, the north structure housed the kitchen and wash room on the first floor; and the enslaved cook, butler and childrens nurses quarters on the second floor. The south structure housed the billiard room and office on the first floor, and the schoolroom and governesss room on the second floor.</p><br>
<p>The home is important because it contains most of its lavish original interiors and furnishings with many items having been imported from Europe. The front parlor contains one of the most complete and well preserved Rococo Revival style interiors in Mississippi from the mid-1800s. The home contains rare Zuber & Cie wallpaper, rosewood and mahogany furniture, and Egyptian marble mantelpieces. The rosewood parlor set and Zuber & Cie wallpaper were purchased by George Marshall I on a trip to France. Various cypress base boards are painted to resemble oak and marble. The bronze chandeliers were once powered by gas made in the plantation&#39;s gas works.</p><br>
<p>To keep the house livable, in the early 1900s a bathroom was added on the end of the rear porch adjoining a bedroom. Electricity was added in the 1940s. In 1962 a kitchen was installed in the butler&#39;s pantry and a second bathroom was added to one corner of the middle bedroom. This was done with as little damage to the original interiors as possible.</p><br>
<p>The Kendall Cottage is a historic house on Breed Road in Harrisville, New Hampshire. Built in 1798, it is a well-preserved example of an early Cape-style hill country farmhouse, and one of a small number of surviving 18th-century buildings in the town. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Kendall Cottage is located in a rural setting west of Harrisville&#39;s village center, on the northwest side of Breed Road just north of its junction with Yellow Wings Road. It is a -story timber-frame structure, with a gable roof, clapboarded exterior, and central chimney. Its main facade is three bays wide, with sash windows flanking the center entrance. Both the windows and the door are simply trimmed. An ell of similar size to the main block extends to the right, set back. It has three windows and a secondary entrance, with an equipment entrance at the far end.</p><br>
<p>The main (left side) portion of the house was built in 1798 by Joel Kendall; the right-hand portion, a near copy of the left side, was added c. 1930. The house is one of a few surviving vernacular hill farm houses in Harrisville; it was also later the home of Darius Farwell, one of the town&#39;s first selectmen.</p><br>
<p>Knollwood is a historic summer estate house on Windmill Hill Road in Dublin, New Hampshire. The large -story "summer cottage" was designed by Shepley, Rutan and Coolidge and built in 1899-1900 for banker Franklin MacVeagh. One of Dublin&#39;s major summer estate houses, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Knollwood is located in southeastern Dublin, on the south side of Upper Jaffrey Road at its junction with Snow Hill Road. The main house is located well south of the road, on a cleared plateau with panoramic views of nearby Mount Monadnock and the hills to the south. The house is a -story frame structure, with a hip roof and shingled exterior. Its main section is roughly H-shaped, with a long ell extending to the west, and a porch extending across much of its southern facade. A number of Queen Anne-style chimneys project from the roof.</p><br>
<p>The house was built in 1899-1900 for Chicago banker Franklin MacVeagh, to a design by the Boston firm Shepley, Rutan and Coolidge. It is an important work of that firm, depicting its transition from the more elaborate Renaissance styles of its early years to include Georgian Revival and more Classical features. While MacVeagh was United States Secretary of the Treasury (1909–13), he twice hosted President William Howard Taft at Knollwood. It was purchased in 1954 by Ernest Henderson, founder of the Sheraton Hotel chain.</p><br>
<p>The Lattice Cottage is a historic summer house on the slopes of Mount Monadnock in Dublin, New Hampshire, United States. Built as an estate guest house in 1929 to a design by Harry Little of Boston, Massachusetts, it is a distinctive example of Arts and Crafts architecture.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Lattice Cottage is located on the grounds of the former Amory country estate, a large tract of land rising on the northern slope of Mount Monadnock between Old Troy Road to the west and the mountains Pumpelly Ridge to the east. It is accessed via a private road that snakes across the historic estate. It stands in a grassy clearing east of the site of the estates main house (no longer extant). It is a -story wood-frame structure with a significant stone base, with a steeply pitched gabled roof and exterior finished in wooden shingles and brick. It has a busy roof line, with multiple gables and dormers, and its windows are predominantly diamond-pane casements.</p><br>
<p>The cottage was designed by Boston architect Harry Little of Little & Robb, and built in 1929 as a guest house for Mrs. William Amory as part of her extensive estate. It is set on the foundation of an early 19th-century farmhouse. The cottage has a strong English Arts and Crafts style, reminiscent of a Cotswold cottage, with extensive use of stone and slate. It was one of the last significant estate outbuildings to be built in Dublin before the Great Depression.</p><br>
<p>The Leib Carriage House is a historic building located at 60 N. Keeble Ave. in San Jose, California, in The Alameda district. The carriage house, owned by Judge Samuel Franklin Leib, was built in the 1870s as the Garden Alameda area was being developed. The estate and original home are gone, but the carriage house is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Fuller Law Firm is the current owner of the property.</p><br>
<p>Samuel Franklin Leib was a successful San Jose attorney whose clients included Mrs. Sarah Winchester and Mrs. Jane Stanford.</p><br>
<p>The Star City Confederate Memorial is located at the southwest corner of the town square of Star City, Arkansas. The marble monument depicts a Confederate Army soldier standing in mid stride with his left foot forward. His hands hold the barrel of a rifle, whose butt rests on the monument base. The statue is about 6 ft high and 2 ft square; it rests on a marble foundation that is 20 ft long, 12 ft wide, and 8 ft high. The monument was erected in 1926 by a local chapter of the United Daughters of the Confederacy at a cost of about $2,500.</p><br>
<p>The memorial was first placed on the grounds of the 1911 courthouse, which was made into the town square after that building was torn down in 1943. That year, the memorial was moved to the grounds of the new courthouse. In the 1990s it was moved back to the town square, and now stands near its original location.</p><br>
<p>All four sides of the monument base have inscriptions. The front, facing south, reads "IN MEMORY OF / OUR / CONFEDERATE / HEROES / 1861 - 1865". The east side reads "LINCOLN COUNTY / REMEMBERS THE / FAITHFULNESS OF / HER SONS AND / COMMENDS THEIR / EXAMPLE TO / FUTURE GENERATIONS." The north side reads "ERECTED BY / CAPT. J. MARTIN / MERONEY / CHAPTER NO. 1831 / OF LINCOLN COUNTY / U. D. C." The west side reads "OUR FURLED BANNER / WREATHED WITH / GLORY AND THOUGH / CONQUERED, WE ADORE / IT. WEEP FOR THOSE / WHO FELL BEFORE IT. / PARDON THOSE WHO / TRAILED AND TORE IT."</p><br>
<p>The monument was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1996.</p><br>
<p>Saragossa was a plantation in Natchez, Adams County, Mississippi.</p><br>
<h2>Location</h2><br>
<p>It is located on Saragossa Road in Natchez, Mississippi.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The plantation was established in 1823 by Dr Stephen Duncan (1787-1867), the wealthiest cotton planter and the second largest slaveowner in the Antebellum South. Cotton was the main cash crop grown here.</p><br>
<p>In 1835, William St. John Elliot purchased the plantation, who also owned D&#39;Evereux. In 1849, it was purchased by William G. Conner, who sold it back to Elliot in 1852. That same year, in 1852, it was purchased by Winfield Gibson. Three years later, in 1855, it was purchased by Caroline Williams, who bequeathed it to her daughter, Anna (Williams) Smith, and her son-in-law, Walton Pembroke Smith. It then stayed in the Smith family until the 1970s.</p><br>
<p>It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since November 24, 1980.</p><br>

<p>The mansion was built in the 1850s for Absalom Sharp (1824-1851), a prominent cotton merchant from New Jersey. Additionally, he owned up to 900 acres of cotton fields and farmland. Whereas upstairs there used to be a ballroom, it was reconverted into bedrooms as well as a dining-room and a study in the 1870s.</p><br>
<p>It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since March 19, 1982. It now serves as a bed & breakfast.</p><br>
<p>The Lawrence Farm is a historic farm at 9 Lawrence Road  in Troy, New Hampshire. Established in the early 19th century, the property has been in continuous ownership by the same family since then. Its farmstead, including a c. 1806 farmhouse, exemplifies the changing trends in domestic agricultural practices of the 19th and 20th centuries. The farm was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Lawrence Farm is located in a rural setting of northern Troy, occupying more than 100 acre of land on either side of Marlborough Road north of its junction with Old Keene Road. On the west side of Marlborough Road are 46 acre which form its historic core. This property includes a Federal-style farmhouse built c. 1806, a horsebarn c. 1870, and two smaller 20th-century outbuildings. The foundations of an older barn, which was historically attached to the house, remain.</p><br>
<p>Land that now makes up the farm was first occupied about 1783, when a log house was built by Joseph Parker. After passing through several owners, it was purchased by Silas Wheeler in 1806. He is credited with building the oldest portion of the farmhouse, on the site of the original log house. Lawrence Road, now fractured by unmaintained stream crossings, ran from the house to a mill Wheeler also owned. The Wheeler property was purchased in 1845 by George Lawrence. Lawrence expanded the landholdings of the farm, and also expanded the house, adding an ell to make room for his family, as well as his widowed mother and spinster sister. Lawrence was a successful farmer, and one of Troy&#39;s wealthiest residents at the time of his death. His descendants have continued to own the land, leasing the fields to local farmers.</p><br>
<p>The Learned Homestead is a historic farmstead on Upper Jaffrey Road in Dublin, New Hampshire. Built about 1790, it is a well-preserved example of an early farmstead, and one of the few surviving in the town from the 18th century. It is also noticeable for its association with the locally prominent Learned family, and for the summer estate movement of the early 20th century. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Learned Homestead is located in a rural setting of southeastern Dublin, near the junction of Upper Jaffrey Road with Swan Hill Road. It is located south of the junction, down a drive that first passes the Benjamin Learned House, a similar yet older house. This house is a -story wood-frame structure, with a gabled roof and clapboarded exterior. It has a five-bay front facade with center entrance, and a large central chimney. A cross-gabled ell extends from one side, and a large 19th-century barn is located across the drive.</p><br>
<p>The house was built about 1790 by Deacon Benjamin Learned, who had built the house just to its north in the 1760s. Learned was prominent in town affairs, serving as town selectman, on the school committee, and as deacon of the Congregational church. The property was owned by his descendants until about 1898, when it was purchased by Franklin MacVeagh. MacVeagh incorporated it into his Knollwood estate, and used this house as an office. It was sold out of that estate in the 1940s, at which time it underwent a sympathetic restoration under new owners.</p><br>
<p>The Amos Learned Farm is a historic farmstead on New Hampshire Route 137  in Dublin, New Hampshire. This -story wood frame Cape style house was built c. 1808 by Benjamin Learned, Jr., son of one of Dublin&#39;s early settlers, and is a well-preserved example of a period hill farmstead. The property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Amos Learned Farm is located in a rural setting of eastern Dublin, on the west side of NH 137, about 0.6 mi south of its junction with New Hampshire Route 101. It is a -story wood-frame structure, with a gabled roof, central chimney, and clapboarded exterior. Its main facade is oriented facing south, presenting a side gable to the street. Windows are placed irregularly, with a center entrance on the south facade. A single-story ell extends to the west, which is stylistically similar, and there is a modern garage about 100 ft south of the house.</p><br>
<p>The house was built about 1808 by Benjamin Learned Jr; he deeded the property to his brother Amos that year. Both of the Learneds eventually moved to Maine. The house stands near a discontinued road that went to the Upper Jaffrey Road, where their father&#39;s house also still stands. Later owners of the property include Irish and Finnish immigrants, representatives of a broadening of the population demographics of Dublin in the early 20th century.</p><br>
<p>The Crabtree Jones House, also known historically as the Nathaniel Jones Jr. House, is a residence at 3108 Hillmer Drive in Raleigh, North Carolina. Constructed around 1808-1811  by Nathaniel Jones, it is one of the few remaining large scale plantation homes in Wake County, and one of the oldest private residences in Raleigh. The home has received several additions since its initial construction, but is mainly known for its Federal-style front. Owned by the Jones family for more than 150 years, the house has fallen into disrepair in more recent decades. Following the purchase of the land the house sat upon by developers in 2012, Preservation North Carolina acquired the house and had it moved to a nearby residential neighborhood, where it sits today. The Crabtree Jones house was greatly influenced by the historical events it stood through while in turn influencing the way the Raleigh community developed around it, through both its people and through its land.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<h3>18th century</h3><br>
<p>The land on which the Crabtree Jones house sat has been owned by the Jones family for over two hundred years. The family first acquired a parcel of land through a 1740s land grant by the Earl of Granville to Francis Jones. The former&#39;s nickname reflects the landscape in which his house was built.</p><br>
<h3>Antebellum</h3><br>
<p>Crabtree Jones passed the house on to his son, Kimbrough Jones, along with a large estate. Kimbrough was able to significantly expand this inheritance. The 1850 census records that the Jones familys property was worth $18,619; at the 1860 census its value was given as $50,000. It is likely that the estates main crop in the antebellum period was tobacco. Like his father, Kimbrough was involved in state politics, serving several terms in the North Carolina general assembly. At the start of the American Civil War Kimbrough was an old man, having been 76 by the time of the 1860 census. The Joness land was used by both sides during the war, and Camp Crabtree, one of a few large Confederate training camps around Raleigh, was located there. The house appears to have been badly affected by the presence of Shermans troops, who destroyed or stole most of the furniture and personal property within the house. Kimbrough wrote in 1865 that, “I cannot describe nor you imagine the utter destruction of everything in the house and out of doors; everything in the house except the beds, bureaus, wardrobes and a few chairs is destroyed”. In 1866, a year after the war&#39;s end, Kimbrough Jones died, leaving the house to his son, Kimbrough Jones Jr.</p><br>
<h3>Postbellum</h3><br>
<p>Throughout the latter half of the 19th century and the first half of the 20th century, the family continued to be an active part of the community. Although it does not appear anyone from the family served in World War I, a few of the sons of Kimbrough joined soon afterwards in order to receive money for their college education. Through multiple correspondences between their mother, Mrs. Mary Kimbrough Jones, and various sources it becomes apparent that the sons did not enjoy the army life and that the Jones family had political connections. One of the US senators of North Carolina at the time and State Treasurer both sent letters to the army on behalf of the Jones family requesting that Peter Jones, one of the Jones sons, be discharged to help at the farm. One of Kimbrough Jr.s sons, BK Jones, attended NC A&M (now NC State University); the Jones family children attended Millbrook High School in the 1930s. The house continued to be an active farm for the first half of the twentieth century. Its cash crop was cotton, but the Jones lands appear to have produced many crops. The Crabtree Jones House was even featured on the cover of a 1934 issue of The Progressive Farmer. Religion also seems to be an important part of the Jones life. Kimbrough Jones Sr. wrote in a letter from 1848 from Hyde County that the worst thing about the place was, “that there is little religion here.” In the 20th century the family was involved with Millbrook United Methodist Church. The house and surrounding grounds continued to be owned by the Jones family until being sold to a developer in 1973.</p><br>
<h3>Decline</h3><br>
<p>By the latter half of the 20th century, the Crabtree Jones house had fallen into disrepair. As the area surrounding the house and its now only 30-acre property began to be developed, the first efforts to save the home were made. In 1969 the house was designated a historic site by the city of Raleigh, and in 1973 it was placed in the National Register of Historic Places. (The house was originally listed under the name "Crabtree Jones House&quot this was altered in 2016 to "Nathaniel Jones Jr. House".) With the support of the Raleigh Historic Sites commission, the new owner of the house, Charles Gaddy, promised to preserve the house and prevent its demolition, thus preserving the house for the short term. This did not, however, guarantee its restoration, something it was in dire need of.</p><br>
<p>As the home continued to fall into disrepair several nonprofits attempted to purchase the Crabtree Jones house, but to no avail. As early as 1974 the Junior League was considering putting money into the house as part of a greater bicentennial project; the cost of restoration at that time was estimated at $40,000 to $45,000. By the 1990s much of the surrounding land had been bought up by developers, so that by the early 2000s only the house and a one-acre tract of land of the former Jones estate remained. The current estimated restoration cost is at $500,000.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The Crabtree Jones Houses architectural history is as significant as the history of those who lived in it. Dendrochronology performed in 2014 dated the front of the house to 1808-09 and the stairwell to 1811. The floor beams of all sections of the house are made with wood, and are in varying states of decay due to centuries of termite damage. The houses main section is exemplary of early Federal architecture. This part of the Crabtree Jones House consists of a central two story section that is 5 bays wide and flanked by two one story extensions on either end, both one bay wide. The interior is laid out in a traditional hall and parlor house floor plan, with the front door, a single 6 paneled wood one, opening into the main dining room. However, the original set of stairs leading up to the second floor had been removed some time since the construction of the additions, so that the main stairwell is now housed in the hallway of the first addition. Although the house is thought to originally have no porch, its front has been graced by them during different periods in time, including a highly decorated Italianate one thought to have been put in around the mid-19th century and a plainer one believed to be put in around the early 20th century. For the 2014 relocation this second porch was removed.</p><br>
<p>The house features two additions, one believed to have been constructed in the early 19th century and the second around the middle of that century. These feature some unique architectural elements as well, such as Greek revival moldings and an enclosed second story slanted porch. The house contains three brick chimneys, one in the back extension and two in the main section. The mantels in the front of the house are unique in the fact that they are ornately painted with pastoral scenes and motifs. Hinges on doors are of the traditional H and L bolt fashion. Screen doors windows were added in several places starting in 1925. The house itself is covered by wood weatherboards on both the main section and the addition, and the exterior is currently painted white.</p><br>
<p>Before its removal the Crabtree Jones house contained a large English basement. Once Preservation North Carolina was able to examine the house in detail it was found that the basement had been used as a family trash dump for several generations. Numerous artifacts were uncovered, including broken glass, pottery, etc. All of what could be was removed for safekeeping and the English Basement demolished in order to make way for the oncoming apartments. Archeological digs were also conducted at the site the house was moved to, but those uncovered nothing of significance.</p><br>
<h2>Move</h2><br>
<p>In 2005, Charles Gaddy died, and the land transferred to another development group in 2009. The property, including that on which the house sat, are to be turned into a set of apartment buildings similar to those that have been built recently in other sections of the city. Much of the forest that had covered the remaining one acre property was removed. Fortunately, the nonprofit Preservation North Carolina, with the cooperation of the developer and the local community, was able to move the house off its hill to a nearby 1960s suburban neighborhood that also houses the Jones family cemetery. A key challenge concerning the move was just how exactly the 200-ton house would be transported down a hill of such a steep grade. This was accomplished via the use of computer-controlled hydraulic pumps that kept the house level during its transfer. The move itself had a budget of $632,000, which included placing the house on the steel moving array, transportation, and the purchase and demolition of the existing 1960s ranch home on whose site the Crabtree Jones house was to be placed. The house successfully completed its move on February 4, 2014.</p><br>
<h2>Effect on community</h2><br>
<p>In April 2014 the Crabtree Jones House was still garnering media interest, particularly in the news. To some extent it had reopened a debate over the preservation of historic buildings, particularly in downtown Raleigh&#39;s Historic Oakwood District. This section of town offers a wide variety of housing styles and ages, ranging from 19th century Victorian to 1920s bungalows. However, in recent decades the neighborhood has strongly opposed constructing any new houses in the area or adding additions onto any of the existing houses. One example that has gained notoriety in recent months is the construction of a particular home in the district that strongly features modernist design. While some neighbors have supported the construction, many others have condemned it, and the opposing sides have taken their debate all the way to the county superior courts. The Crabtree Jones House has been used as an arguing point for the side supporting the approval of the modernist house. One of the many reasons the house was preserved is because of its significant variety of architectural styles. Throughout the 19th century the house went through varying degrees of renovation so that it now showcases many different architectural styles. Those groups who support the construction of the modernist house in the Oakwood neighborhood, such as Preservation North Carolina (the nonprofit largely responsible for preventing the destruction of the Crabtree Jones House), argue that such a diversity of architecture will, in the long run, add to the historical uniqueness of Oakwood. Issues with modern construction in the neighborhood have usually been dealt with quickly in the past and in favor of those who wish the neighborhood to remain unchanged; the relocation of the Crabtree Jones House and its prevalence in the news can be labeled as partially to blame for the prolonged argument.</p><br>
<p>The preservation of the Crabtree Jones House has also acted as community unifying event, and has brought historic preservation back into the limelight. Its unique architectural features have inspired new debate in the field of historic preservation and the construction of modern houses in historic neighborhoods. The house itself has been affected by nearly every event that effected the state since its creation. Through the contributions of the Jones family to the local community through service and economics the house has helped to shape the local landscape. In these ways it has served as an important part of public history for the Raleigh area.</p><br>
<p>The Ladies Rest Room is a historic building in Lewisburg, Tennessee, that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>The Ladies Rest Room was built by the Marshall County court in 1924 as a place for rural women to relax, rest, and eat during their visits to Lewisburg, the county seat. It is thought to be the first and possibly the only stand-alone ladies&#39; rest room in Tennessee.</p><br>
<p>The building is a one-story rectangular red brick structure with a basement, built in the Colonial Revival style. It was designed by A. C. Colley, a Nashville architect, and constructed by local builder J. L. Sanders. Exterior features include a covered porch that wraps around the front of the building and part of one side, wooden columns on brick pilasters, a parapet roof with a wooden cornice, and wooden trellises. The building interior includes a large reception room in the front, a bathroom and hall in the building&#39;s midsection, and a private bedroom in the rear (provided for the live-in matron who was hired by the county to maintain the facility and supervise its operation). The basement houses a kitchen and dining area.</p><br>
<p>The Ladies Rest Room proved popular. Shortly after it opened in 1924, the county&#39;s home demonstration agent reported that "constant use is being made of it by the country people." It became customary for farm families to travel into Lewisburg on Saturdays and important court days, with the men gathering in the county courthouse and their wives congregating in the Ladies Rest Room.</p><br>
<p>The Ladies Rest Room building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1995. At the time of its listing, it was still being used for its original purpose.</p><br>
<p>The Beckham County Courthouse, located in Courthouse Square in Sayre, is the county courthouse of Beckham County, Oklahoma. The courthouse is considered a local landmark because it is the tallest building in Sayre. It is also one of the few courthouses in Oklahoma that has a dome.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The courthouse building was built in 1911, the courthouse was designed by the architecture firm of Layton, Smith & Hawk and constructed by Oklahoma Quarries & Construction Co. The courthouse sits on a 1 acre parcel of land in downtown Sayre, at the intersection of Third and Walnut Streets. It is a three-story building measuring 66 feet in the east-west direction and 99 feet in the north-south direction. It is faced with tan bricks and stone. The east and west entrances to the courthouse each feature two Tuscan columns which span the second and third floors; the columns are flanked by brick pilasters. A dentillated cornice and a brick parapet encircle the building at its roof line.</p><br>
<p>Although the NRHP application did not list a particular style of architecture, another source claims that the building blends Neo-Classical and Second Renaissance Revival styles.</p><br>
<p>A large dome supported by twelve Doric columns rises from an octagonal base on the roof of the courthouse. A smaller dome, similarly styled and supported by twelve columns, rises from the top of the main dome. The large dome has flat panels for clocks facing four directions.</p><br>
<h2>Culture</h2><br>
<p>The courthouse appeared in the film The Grapes of Wrath, a 1940 adaptation of the John Steinbeck novel. Families headed to California (such as the Joads of the film) passed through Sayre on USA Route 66, and many viewed the city as the start of the West.</p><br>
<p>The courthouse was added to the National Register of Historic Places on August 23, 1984.</p><br>
<p>The West Winds Motel is a historic motel located on old USA Route 66 in Erick, Oklahoma. The motel opened in the mid-1940s to serve travelers on Route 66; at the time, tourism drove Erick&#39;s economy, and the motel was one of several in the city. The motel had a typical motor court layout with two lodging buildings and an office forming a "U" shape around a central courtyard. The lodging buildings have a Mission Revival design with stucco walls and red metal roofs designed to resemble tile. The motel units have individual garage spaces in front of their entrances, a style which was common in the 1930s and 1940s but fell out of favor in later years.</p><br>
<p>The motel was added to the National Register of Historic Places on May 27, 2004.</p><br>
<p>The Casa Grande Hotel is a historic hotel located at the intersection of 3rd Street and historic USA Route 66 in downtown Elk City, Oklahoma. The hotel opened in 1928, shortly after Route 66 was designated, to lodge the growing number of travelers on the highway. Architects Hawk and Parr designed the four-story building in the Spanish Eclectic style; their design features arched windows and doors and stone ornamentation along the arches. Spanish-influenced styles such as the Spanish Eclectic were common on the southwestern portion of Route 66 due to the region&#39;s Spanish history. The luxury hotel faded in popularity after the 1920s, and as a result, the Casa Grande is the only high-rise hotel on Route 66 between Oklahoma City and Amarillo, Texas.</p><br>
<p>The hotel was added to the National Register of Historic Places on February 23, 1995.</p><br>

Built in 1832, it is an example of the conservative persistence of Federal style architecture well after the Greek Revival had become popular in other parts of New England. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Mason–Watkins House is located in a rural setting in southwestern Surry, at the northwest corner of Old Walpole and Mine Ledge Roads. It is a -story wood-frame structure, with a gabled roof and clapboarded exterior. It is five bays wide, with a central chimney, and simple window casings. Windows are arranged symmetrically around the center entrance, which is topped by a four-light transom window. A single-story ell extends to the rear, terminating in a former carriage house converted to garage. The interior has a typical Colonial central chimney plan, with a narrow vestibule that includes a tight triple-run staircase, with the parlor and dining room flanking the chimney. The fireplace surrounds in these two rooms are original, exhibiting Federal period styling.</p><br>
<p>The house was built in 1832 by an unknown builder. The interior woodwork drawing inspiration from Asher Benjamins 1806 American Builders Companion, an indication of the conservative style the house exhibits. By the 1830s, much of New Hampshire had already begun adopting the Greek Revival style in housing construction, and this house is a clear throwback to the earlier Federal period.</p><br>
<p>The Magnolia Service Station is a historic service station located on Old USA Route 66 in Texola, Oklahoma. The station, an affiliate of the Magnolia Petroleum Company, opened circa 1930. The station was one of the westernmost in Oklahoma and became one of the first stops for eastbound travelers to buy gas and auto services in the state. The main building of the service station is representative of the "house" style of filling station; such stations resembled small houses in order to fit into residential areas.</p><br>
<p>The service station was added to the National Register of Historic Places on February 23, 1995.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The station opened in 1930, first owned by Albert Hutto, who later sold it to Frank Skinner. The station sold Magnolia Petroleum products until 1955, when it was sold again and began carrying Phillips 66 products, before closing in the 1960s. The structure was originally built with just the central block building, with the canopy and side garage added on later. The sign on the structure, advertising a former mechanic shop, had its lettering removed by 2019.</p><br>
<h2>Condition</h2><br>
<p>Despite historic status, the building remains in an advanced state of decay., the side garage had been completely removed after being damaged for many years, the canopy has partially collapsed, and the interior is also in extremely poor condition.</p><br>
<p>The Samuel Morey Memorial Bridge is a historic bridge carrying New Hampshire Route 25A across the Connecticut River between Orford, New Hampshire and Fairlee, Vermont. The steel through-arch bridge was built in 1937–38 to replace an older wooden bridge which had been damaged by flooding in 1936. It spans 432 ft, stands about 35 ft above the river, and its arches rise 85 ft above the roadway. It rests on poured concrete abutments that have a light Art Deco or Moderne styling. Wing walls recede from the abutments into the banks in three stepped sections. Below the bridge in the river is visible some riprap, stone remnants of the old bridge&#39;s abutments and central pier. The bridge is of a "tied arch" design, in which the two arches are joined together by ties to distribute the active load. This is in contrast to the Justice Harlan Fiske Stone Bridge joining Brattleboro, Vermont and Chesterfield, New Hampshire, which was built about the same time, and distributes the active load to its abutments. The bridge components were manufactured by the American Bridge Company; construction was by Hagen-Thibodeau Construction Company at a contracted cost of just over $209,000.</p><br>
<p>The bridge is named for Samuel Morey, an early inventor of steamships and resident of both Orford and Fairlee.</p><br>
<p>The bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1997.</p><br>
<p>The Rocks Estate, also known as the John Jacob Glessner Estate, is a historic summer estate in Bethlehem, New Hampshire. The large estate, covering more than 1,300 acre, is located near the junction of USA Route 302 and Interstate 93, and includes some twenty buildings. The estate was assembled by John Jacob Glessner  in the 1880s, and is one of the largest and best-preserved surviving private estates in the state. Glessner created The Rocks as a private conservation initiative, to prevent destructive farming methods from destroying the land.</p><br>
<p>The large Shingle-style house he had built in 1883 no longer stands, but a significant number of outbuildings survive, including a carriage house, horse barn, and a sawmill/pigpen building in a cluster of buildings located generally northward of the former house site. At least three of these buildings were designed by Chicago architect Hermann V. von Holst, and are of unusually high quality in their design and construction. There is a subsidiary area of the estate known as the Red Farm, centered on a c. 1840 farmhouse.</p><br>
<p>The estate was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984. The property is now owned by the Society for the Protection of New Hampshire Forests and is open to the public. It is managed by that organization according to principles articulated by Glessner, preserving an important aspect of the property.</p><br>
