<p>The Grim Building is an office building and former medical clinic located in Kirksville, Missouri. Constructed in the Jacobethan Revival style in 1905, it was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in June, 1979.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Brothers Ezra and Edward Grim, both physicians, had a desire to consolidate their medical practices under one roof. In 1904 they contracted with the St. Louis, Missouri architectural firm of Weber and Groves for a building large enough to house offices, examination rooms and operating suites. Local contractor Albert L. Holmes was chosen for the construction, which was finished in October, 1905 for a final cost of $11,248. This was considered only slightly higher than a similar size building of more utilitarian design, surprising considering the ornate details often associated with a Jacobethan Revival building.</p><br>
<p>The exterior is of red brick with white accent stones and trim around the windows. Great detail was given to the main entrance, a hooded limestone basket-handle arch with considerable ornamentation. An adjacent carriage house still remains from the original construction, though it has been heavily renovated over the years to provide more office and retail space. The Grims spared little expense on the interior either, with plentiful high-quality oak woodwork throughout and Tennessee marble in the main first floor hallway. Several fireplaces in the building feature ornate metal screens and green glazed tile in the immediate floor area.</p><br>
<p>The Grim brothers used the eastern half of the first floor for outpatient surgery and treatment rooms until they established the Grim Brothers Hospital in 1910. A new hospital building was completed for them just south of the First District Normal School; however, Edward Grim continued to use the original building for his office until his death in 1936.</p><br>
<p>The brothers&#39; partnership went on hiatus for a time beginning in 1917 when Ezra Grim joined the USA Army Medical Corps, serving in France during World War I. They would continue in partnership with the hospital until their retirement while also maintaining ownership of the original building, renting out office space to other businesses. The ownership of the building remained within the extended Grim family until 1970 when a grandnephew sold it to outside investors.</p><br>
<p>Plans were put forth in the 1980s to demolish the building and replace it with more parking for downtown businesses, despite the buildings&#39; very good condition. However, public outcry, and new ownership of the building, prevented the demolition from happening. Renovation and restoration returned the Grim Building to an appearance much like it did when first constructed, save for modern lighting, heating and cooling, and some carpeted areas of individual offices.</p><br>
<p>Although not a museum by intent, the interior decor of the building features many items and photos that chronicle the medical history of Kirksville, from osteopaths like Andrew Taylor Still to medical doctors such as the Grim brothers.</p><br>
<p>The Withers-Chapman House is a historic residence in Huntsville, Alabama. The house was built by Allen Christian circa 1835 as the center of a farm that would become one of the major dairy suppliers in central North Alabama. After Christians death in 1849, the house was purchased by Augustine and Mary Withers. Former Governor of Alabama Reuben Chapman acquired the house in 1873, after his previous house nearby had been burned by departing Union soldiers in 1865. The house remained in Chapmans family from 1873 until 1971. The surrounding farmland has been sold off into suburban development, but the house retains a prominent position on a 2-acre  lot on a hillside.</p><br>
<p>The -story house was built in the Federal style, with Greek Revival details. The house is clad in white clapboard and features a pedimented portico supported by four Tuscan columns over the entry. The portico is flanked by twelve-over-twelve sash windows. On each side of the house, two chimneys project through the end gable. There are two nine-over-nine windows between the chimneys on the main floor and a single twelve-over-twelve window on the upper floor. A central chimney and a shed roofed porch along the rear (connecting the formerly free-standing kitchen to the main house) were added in the 1930s. The interior is laid out with a central hall, with a dining room and parlor to one side and two bedrooms to the other. A stairwell at the end of the hall leads to two bedrooms upstairs. A shed roofed porch along the rear two-thirds of the eastern wall was enclosed in the 1960s to provide space for bathrooms.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.</p><br>
<h2>Monte Sano Dairy</h2><br>
<p>Monte Sano Dairy, established in 1889 by William Matthews and Milton Humes, was home to the legendary butter-producing cow of the 1890s, Lily Flagg. The dairy was not especially close to Monte Sano Mountain, but nonetheless provided milk to much of Huntsville. Matthews left the dairy in 1894, and the Chapmans continued to operate it, quartering troops from the Spanish–American War and providing them water and milk in 1898. During the Great Depression, Josephine Gaboury gave milk to children without expecting payment, often saying "The little children must have milk." Dairy operations continued through World War II, and scaled back thereafter.</p><br>
<p>The Urquhart House  is a historic residence in Huntsville, Alabama. The property was acquired by Allen Urquhart in 1813, and the house was built soon after. The dogtrot house was built in several phases, with the eastern "pen" being the original section. It was originally built as a one-room log house with a 7-foot  ceiling. The house was extensively modified around 1835; the ceiling was raised to 9 ft, and many Federal-period details were added, including beaded chair rails and baseboards, an elaborate mantle, and lath and plastered walls. The second floor and western pen may have been added at this time; most of the original details were removed from the western pen in the early 20th century, making it difficult to date its construction. When it was completed, the house&#39;s dogtrot form was established, including loft rooms over both pens and the breezeway. An addition was made in the 1860s or 1870s to the rear of the western pen which features a Greek Revival mantle. In circa 1915–1930, a kitchen was added to the rear of this room, and an enclosed porch was built in the ell along the rear of the house. A front porch was added in the middle of the 20th century.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992. It was included on the Alabama Historical Commission&#39;s Places In Peril list for 2013; after years of neglect, the building is nearing collapse.</p><br>
<p>The Adams Memorial Building, now also known as the Derry Opera House, is a historic municipal building at 29 West Broadway near the center of Derry, New Hampshire. Built in 1904, it is a remarkably sophisticated Colonial Revival structure for what was at the time a small community. The building originally housed a variety of municipal offices and the local library. Local events are occasionally held in the theater  of the building, located on the upper level. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982. The theater is now operated by a local nonprofit arts organization, the Greater Derry Arts Council.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Adams Memorial Building stands near the west end of Derry&#39;s central business district, on the north side of West Broadway (New Hampshire Route 102) at its junction with Maple Street. It is a two-story masonry structure set on a raised basement, built out of brick with granite and wooden trim. Stone beltcourses separate the first and second floors, and the second floor and the elaborate roof cornice. The main facade is three bays wide, articulated by brick pilasters with stone capitals. The main entrance is in the center bay, recessed in a round arch framed by a projecting cornice supported by clustered columns. Upper level windows are set in large round-arch openings. On the left side, facing Maple Street, is a single-story single-bay round projecting section.</p><br>
<p>The building was designed by Lawrence, Massachusetts, architect George G. Adams, and completed in 1904. It originally housed a variety of municipal offices and the local library. Local events are occasionally held in the theater ("opera house") of the building, located on the upper level. The building is an unusually elaborate Colonial Revival structure for what was at the time a fairly small town (population c. 3,600 in 1920). It was twice damaged by fire (1914 and 1927), necessitating rebuilding of portions of its interior.</p><br>
<p>The Beach Club is a private oceanfront club at 2450 Ocean Boulevard in Rye, New Hampshire. Founded in 1925, it is the only beachfront private club to survive from the early 20th century along New Hampshire&#39;s coast. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2013.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Beach Club consists of a cluster of four buildings built around a saltwater swimming pool on the beach near the junction of Ocean Boulevard (New Hampshire Route 1A) and Sea Road. The main clubhouse, facing roughly south, is a single-story frame structure with modest Victorian styling, to which a stone addition was made on the east side. The frame portion is five bays wide, with a shed-roof portico sheltering the center entrance. The stone addition is two bays wide, with a chimney prominently rising at the center of its facade. The interior has open timber-frame woodwork, with kitchen and service facilities in modern additions to the north. Surrounding the saltwater pool are three bathhouses, which house changing rooms and service equipment and storage for the pool. On the east side of the pool is a covered cabana-like area with views of the ocean.</p><br>
<p>The main clubhouse was built c. 1882, and has been repeatedly modified since then. It originally was run as a concession to all local visitors. The oldest of the bathhouses was built about 1900 by this business. It became a private club in 1925, catering to the elite of New Hampshire and Massachusetts, who felt their summer resort was becoming overrun by a less savory and more transient type of visitor. Prominent leaders of the club included Massachusetts Governor Alvan T. Fuller, who had a summer residence nearby. The swimming pool was originally built in 1927 by the club, and was replaced in 2007. It features an underwater lighting system that is a near replica of one the original pool had.</p><br>
<p>The Samuel Beck House is a historic house at 407 The Hill in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. Built about 1761, it is a well-preserved example of late colonial architecture with an early Federal period door surround. The building was moved to its present location as part of a project to widen nearby Deer Street. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Samuel Beck House stands near the southwestern corner of The Hill, a cluster of historic houses southwest of the junction of Deer and High Streets. These houses were relocated to this area as part of a road widening project. The Beck House is stories in height, with a side gable roof and clapboarded exterior. It is five bays wide and two deep, with a large central chimney, and an early Federal-period front door surround with an arched fanlight. The interior retains original 18th-century features, including paneled fireplace surrounds, and a three-run winding staircase in the front entry vestibule.</p><br>
<p>The land where this house originally stood on Deer Street was platted in 1710 and subdivided in 1756. It was purchased by Samuel Beck in 1761. The neighborhood, populated in the early 20th century by Italian immigrants, was subjected to urban renewal activities in the 1960s and 1970s. This house was one of a number that was relocated to form The Hill, while others were razed or moved elsewhere.</p><br>
<p>The Sourdough Mountain Lookout is a fire lookout that was built by the Civilian Conservation Corps in 1933. Constructed atop Sourdough Mountain in North Cascades National Park, in the USA state of Washington, the lookout was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.</p><br>
<p>An earlier lookout was erected at the site in 1917 but was torn down when the current lookout was constructed. The current structure was built atop a rock foundation and is 14.25 ft by 14.25 ft square. The walls are composed of shiplap siding and the structure is covered with a wood-shingled hip roof. Diagonally-braced plywood shutters could be swung open for observation in each direction. The structure is no longer used on a regular basis but is visited with some frequency by hikers and it is a 5 mi hike to the cabin from the trailhead.</p><br>
<p>During the summer of 1953, poet Gary Snyder worked at the location as a fire lookout while his friend and fellow poet Philip Whalen worked at Sauk Mountain Lookout. Snyders poem "Mid-August at Sourdough Mountain Lookout" is based on his time there as is his poem "August on Sourdough, A Visit from Dick Brewer." Snyders time at Sourdough Mountain Lookout is said to have provided the "seed experience for the poetry he is best known for: language full of the raw, playful wit that reflects the granite ridges where he worked and watched and wrote."</p><br>
<p>Two years later Snyder was blacklisted by the Forest Service from working another season at Sourdough Mountain so Whalen took his place as the lookout. While there Whalen wrote "Sourdough Mountain Lookout," one of his "most enduring poems." The poem references Whalen&#39;s work as a lookout along with "musings on rocks, insects, animals, and weather."</p><br>
<p>In August 2023, the lookout was wrapped in fire-proof material to mitigate potential damage caused by the nearby Sourdough Fire.</p><br>
<p>Butlers Store is a group of three historic commercial buildings in New Hope, Alabama. The Butler family began their dry goods and hardware business in the 1850s, and in 1909 built 2 two-story buildings on New Hopes main street. The central building was used for a general merchandise, dry goods, and hardware store and office space. It features a five-bay façade with cast iron columns separating large glass panes atop wood panel bulkheads on the storefront level. Large transom windows over the main windows cast light into the room with 18-foot  ceilings and a mezzanine in the rear. The northern building was used for a bank until the Great Depression, after which it was connected to the central building and used as a grocery store. It is shorter than the central building, due to a lower ceiling on the ground floor. Both of the older buildings have brick corbelling and slightly arched second-floor windows. The one-story southern building was constructed in 1939 and housed a furniture store. Three bays in width, its ground floor appearance is similar to the northern building, but its roofline is more plain.</p><br>
<p>The business flourished from the 1930s to the 1950s, when it also sold farm equipment, fertilizers, and building materials, and bought cotton and cottonseed. Business declined as agriculture waned and commercial activity in nearby Huntsville increased, and the company closed in the mid-1970s. Today, the buildings are owned by the city of New Hope, and house a police station, city hall, and public library. They were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.</p><br>
<p>The Distin Lake Shelter Cabin is a historic backcountry shelter in the Admiralty Island National Monument. It is located on the northwest shore of Distin Lake, on the Admiralty Island Canoe Route. The cabin, originally a three-sided Adirondack log shelter, was constructed by a Civilian Conservation Corps crew in 1932. In 1960, a fourth wall, wooden floor, and bunk beds were added to the structure. There is a window, and the front door is one recycled from a theater; it is labeled "Balcony" on the inside.</p><br>
<p>The cabin was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1995. In 2014, it was listed by the United States Forest Service as being in poor condition and unavailable for use.</p><br>
<p>The MV Chugach Ranger is a historic ranger boat whose home port is Petersburg, Alaska. She is the last wooden ranger boat in the fleet of the United States Forest Service operating in Southeast Alaska. She was designed by Seattle-based boat designer L. H. Coolidge and launched in Seattle in 1925. She has been in service ever since, transporting scientists, government officials, supplies, and guests throughout the areas administered by the Forest Service in southeastern Alaska, and performing search and rescue operations. First based in Cordova, she was assigned to the Tongass National Forest in 1953, and relocated to Petersburg. She is about 62 ft long, 14.5 ft wide, and is estimated to displace 40 tons.</p><br>
<p>The boat was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.</p><br>
<p>St. Mary of the Visitation Catholic Church is a historic church in Huntsville, Alabama and is the oldest Catholic church in North Alabama. It began construction in 1861 but was interrupted by the Civil War. The church was completed in 1877. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>St. Mary Church was built of limestone in a Romanesque Revival style. The façade is framed by two hexagonal towers; the spire of the north tower houses the bell, and is raised six feet (1.8 meters) above the south tower. The large central double entrance doors and smaller flanking doors are topped by an arched wooden infill panel. All openings on the façade are topped with projecting round stone arches, with the keystones and imposts projecting further. A stone belt course runs half-way up the front. Pilasters climb between the central and side doors and terminate about 5 feet (1.5 m) above the gable roof in a shallow gable wall. Crosses adorn this wall and the two towers. A semi-hexagonal apse is a later addition to the rear of the building. The church was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.</p><br>
<p>Gray Court-Owings School is a historic school building located at Gray Court, Laurens County, South Carolina. The building consists of a two-story central brick building constructed in 1914, with a flanking one-story brick-veneered high school building and a one-story brick-veneered auditorium, both built in 1928. The flanking buildings are designed in the Colonial Revival style with Tuscan order porticos. A two-story Tuscan order portico was added to the entrance of the 1914 building in 1928. A contributing one-story frame potato house was built in the 1930s to help local farmers preserve their crops.</p><br>
<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2004.</p><br>
<p>Gray Court-Owings is the home of the Tigers who participate in both junior high (7th and 8th grade) football and basketball in the Laurens District 55 school district.</p><br>
<p>The Benedict House, also known as the Thomas Penhallow House, is a historic house at 30 Middle Street in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. Built in 1810–1813, it is a fine example of Federal style architecture, and may be an early work of the noted local builder Jonathan Folsom. The house was joined in 1954 to the adjacent Portsmouth Academy building when it housed the city&#39;s public library; this complex is now home to Discover Portsmouth, a local tourism promotion organization. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Benedict House stands near the western end of Portsmouth&#39;s Congress Street business district, on the west side of Middle Street. The Academy building, to which it is connected, faces north to Congress Street; the house faces south toward a parking lane. It is three stories in height, and is built out of brick and covered with a gabled roof. The brick is laid in Flemish bond throughout, and its workmanship is of exceptionally high quality when compared to that of other period buildings in the city. The main entrance is its most elaborate exterior feature, with sidelights and fanlight transom window sheltered by a half-round portico supported by columns with Ionic capitals. Above the entrance is a sash window with half-round fan, framed by wooden paneling. The interior features include a fine curving staircase and carved fireplace mantels.</p><br>
<p>The house was built sometime between 1810 and 1813 for Thomas Morton, a local merchant. Its construction just outside central Portsmouth also apparently kicked off a minor building boom of fashionable houses in the immediate area. In 1814 Morton sold the house to Thomas Penhallow, another merchant. He sold it in 1835, and it passed through many owners before its acquisition by the city, originally to house the library.</p><br>
<p>The Portsmouth Academy building is a historic academic and civic building at 8 Islington Street in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. Built in 1809, it is one of the finest surviving examples of an early 19th-century academic building in northern New England, and is attributed to James Nutter, one of the finest local builders of the period. In addition to housing the Portsmouth Academy, it later housed the city&#39;s public library, and presently houses the Portsmouth Historical Society galleries, gift shop and the Discover Portsmouth Welcome Center. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973 as "Portsmouth Public Library".</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The former Portsmouth Academy building stands on the western fringe of downtown Portsmouth, at the southeast corner of Middle and Islington Streets. It is a two-story brick structure with a hip roof and a cut granite foundation. Its original main facade faces Islington Street, and is seven bays wide. Windows are set in rectangular openings, with marble sills and splayed lintels. A marble stringcourse separates the two floors, and the roof cornice is adorned with dentil moulding. The center three bays project slightly, and are topped by a pedimented gable with a half-round window at its center. The main entrance is in the center bay, set in a round-arch opening flanked by paired engaged Ionic columns.</p><br>
<p>The Academy was designed by local designer-builder James Nutter and built in 1809. Its Federal style resembles other academy buildings (including an early building at the Phillips Exeter Academy), and its design was for a time attributed to Charles Bulfinch. The building was acquired by the city and converted for use to house the Portsmouth Public Library in the 1890s. At this time its interior was extensively altered; the extant skylights were probably added at this time as well. The building served as the public library until 2006, when the library moved to a new facility at 175 Parrott Avenue. The buildings are now leased to the Portsmouth Historical Society, which operates the Discover Portsmouth center.</p><br>
<p>The John Crockett House, also known as Kenniston&#39;s Tavern, is a historic house at 245 Portsmouth Road  in Stratham, New Hampshire in the United States. Built about 1760, it is a well-preserved example of Georgian residential architecture. It was operated for a time as a tavern serving travelers on the main road between Portsmouth and Exeter. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The John Crockett House stands in northern Stratham, on the north side of Portsmouth Road, between Depot Road and Jason Drive. It is a -story wood-frame structure, with a gabled roof, central roof, and clapboarded exterior. It is five bays wide and two deep, with a center entrance framed by pilasters and a pedimented gable. A single-story ell extends to the right side. The interior follows a typical Georgian period plan, with a narrow central hall flanked by parlor spaces.</p><br>
<p>The house was built c. 1760 by Ephraim Crockett and his son John around the time of the latters marriage. Both Crocketts, as well as Ephraims father Richard, were prominent local builders, so the construction of this house may shed significant light on the evolution of local building practices. The house was purchased in 1780 by Henry Kenniston, a tailor who converted the house into an inn, capitalizing on its location midway between Portsmouth and Exeter. It served as an inn, operated by Kenniston&#39;s descendants, until 1883.</p><br>
<p>The Waukegan Building is a historic skyscraper in Waukegan, Illinois, United States. Located in what was the central business district, it was the city&#39;s first skyscraper when it opened in March 1925.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>By 1920, Waukegan, Illinois had grown to a small city with a population nearing 20,000, a 19.6% increase over the previous decade. The Waukegan National Bank Corporation was founded in 1914 to provide capital to the growing population. However, the bank quickly outgrew its original three-story headquarters at the corner of Genesee and Washington Streets. In 1924, they hired the St. Louis Bank Equipment Company to build a much larger building on the same site. The bank opened for a public viewing on March 7, 1925. Upon its opening, it became the tallest building in Lake County.</p><br>
<p>The original tenants were the Waukegan National Bank, the Public Service Company of Northern Illinois, and a Walgreens. The Chicago Chamber of Commerce had an office on the eighth floor. Various professionals such as physicians and attorneys occupied other suites. The Great Depression hit the bank hard and by 1931 the Waukegan National Bank was bankrupt. The Citizens National Bank moved into the vacated offices and operated for six years. A variety of retail stores and professional firms have occupied the space since. It has been largely vacant since 1985.</p><br>
<p>The Waukegan Building is generally Neoclassical in design. The eight-story building has an L-shaped plan with the main elevation on Genesee Street. Exterior walls are light brown brick with limestone details. Built on a concrete foundation, the tower has a flat roof with two antennas. The main facade is divided in a typical tripartite design.</p><br>
<p>The Captain Jonathan Currier House is a historic house on Hillside Avenue in South Hampton, New Hampshire. Built about 1742, it is the oldest surviving house in Currierville, one of the early settlement areas in South Hampton. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Captain Jonathan Currier House stands at the three-way intersection of Hilldale Avenue with Currier Street and Lone Goose Road. It is set facing south toward the intersection and close to the road. It is a -story wood-frame structure, with a side-gable roof, central brick chimney, and clapboarded exterior. Its main facade is five bays wide, with a central entrance flanked by simple pilasters and topped by a transom window and cornice. A single-story ell extends at an angle from the rear of the house, parallel to Hillside Avenue.</p><br>
<p>The house, a typical vernacular Georgian style construnction, was built c. 1742 by Jonathan Currier, whose family was among the early settlers of the western part of South Hampton, and for whom the area is named Currierville. It is the oldest house standing in the area, a significant agricultural settlement in the 18th and 19th centuries. Because of its proximity to nearby Newton, the area&#39;s residents, including Currier and others in his family, twice petitioned the state (without success) to become part of Newton.</p><br>
<p>The Dame School is a historic meeting house, school, and now local historical museum, on New Hampshire Route 152 in Nottingham, New Hampshire. The single story wood-frame Greek Revival structure was built in 1840 as a church; according to local legend, timbers from a 1740 church were used in its construction. Its main facade has a simple entrance topped by a transom window, and flanked by a pair of windows. The building is topped by a three-stage tower, whose second stage houses a belfry, and whose spire is topped by a weathervane in the shape of a quill pen. It was used as a meeting house until about 1878, with its dual use as a school beginning c. 1870. It was dedicated for academic use in 1878, after the local Universalist congregation which had been using for services, built its own dedicated building. This building is said to have acquired its distinctive weathervane as a gift in 1870 from schoolmaster Bartholomew Van Dame.</p><br>
<p>The building was moved closer to the center in 1952, at which time it was mounted on a concrete foundation, and a sympathetic addition was made to increase its capacity. In 1995 a new central elementary school was built, and the addition was converted for use as a police station. This building was again moved to provide parking space for the police, and has been adapted for use as a local history museum and community center.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.</p><br>
<p>The Danville Town House is the town hall of Danville, New Hampshire. It is located at 210 Main Street . The -story wood-frame building was completed in 1887, replacing the old 18th-century meetinghouse. It houses the town offices, and a meeting space in which town meetings and other civic and social events take place. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Danville Town House stands in the rural town center of Danville, on the east side of Main Street between Gerry Drive and the Baptist church. It is a -story wood-frame structure, with a gabled roof and exterior finished in a modern synthetic imitation of clapboards (with the original wooden clapboards underneath). It has modest nods toward late 19th-century Victorian architecture, including slightly parapeted gables with projecting ends. The front porch originally had turned posts and a spindled valance; it has been replaced by square posts and balusters. On the inside, the town offices are located on the ground floor, while the second floor has a ballroom with a stage area at the eastern end.</p><br>
<p>The building was constructed in 1887, after the towns 18th-century meetinghouse was judged inadequate to meet the towns needs for municipal functions. This building&#39;s location in southern Danville was not without controversy: some objected to its more elaborate Victorian styling, and farmers in the northern part of the town objected to its relatively remote location, but were outvoted by more numerous southerners. An attempt was made to burn the building down the night before its dedication. The ballroom has been used for many public and private functions, including use by local civic groups, the Grange, and the Boy Scouts.</p><br>
<p>The Blake and Amory Building is a historic commercial building at the corner of Temple Place and Washington Street in Downtown Crossing, historically the main shopping district of Boston, Massachusetts. The eleven-story building was designed by noted Boston architect Arthur Hunnewell Bowditch, and constructed in two phases between 1904 and 1908. The building is architecturally noted for its expanses of windows and Gothic details. Early tenants occupying its upper-level offices were predominantly associated with the garment and fabric trade, with the lower floors housing a variety of retail operations.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2014.</p><br>
<p>After an extensive renovation project, the Godfrey Hotel Boston opened in the historic Blake and Amory Building in 2016.</p><br>
<p>The Narrows Commercial Historic District encompasses the historic commercial heart of Narrows, Virginia. It is centered at the intersection of Main and</p><br>
<p>Monroe Streets and MacArthur Lane, near the confluence of Wolf Creek and the New River. The area&#39;s major development did not begin until after the arrival in 1882 of the railroad, with most of it taking place in the two decades before World War II. Major buildings include the 1927 Norfolk and Western Railroad depot and the 1940 General Macarthur Hotel.</p><br>
<p>The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2014.</p><br>
<p>The Whitman–Cobb House is a historic residence in New Market, Alabama. It was built circa 1861 in a Greek Revival style with Federal and Adamesque details. The two-story house is rectangular with an ell off the rear on one side. Originally, a porch separated the house from a detached kitchen, but it was torn down and replaced around 1955 with a one-story addition containing three rooms and a garage.

<p>Chretien Point Plantation is a pre-Civil War twelve room red brick mansion, located on twenty acres on the banks of Bayou Bourbeaux, two miles southwest of Sunset, Louisiana in St. Landry Parish. A Civil War battle was fought on the plantation grounds and Jean Lafitte was a tenant. The mansion was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1977.</p><br>
<h2>Early history</h2><br>
<p>The Spanish government made a land grant to Louis St. Germain in 1776. Joseph Chretien bought the property in 1781 and his grandson, Hipolyte Chretien II, inherited the land from his father. The plantation was a 3000-acre cotton farm worked by the forced labor of over 500 enslaved people. Hippolyte Chretien started construction on the mansion in 1831, and the two story big house was completed in 1835, when Chretien moved in with his wife Felicité. During the Civil War, Hypolite, in bed with fever, was alerted that the Union soldiers were coming to burn down the plantation. Several of his neighbors were already decimated. He had the servants help him to the balcony and waved a white flag to parlay with the Union Commander. It turns out that both Hypolite and the Union Commander were Masons. Because of this, the plantation home was spared and only the slave quarters and outbuildings were burned. At one point Jean Lafitte resided on the plantation. Hypolite II died of yellow fever in 1839 and his wife took over the plantation increasing the land holdings to a reported 10,000 acres. Felicité used to host poker games with Jean Lafitte and he taught her how to smoke cigars. There is a story of Felicité hearing a break-in occur one night after she had retired. She armed herself and stood on the stairway. As she saw movement, she fired, and shot the intruder in the head, almost decapitating him.</p><br>

<p>The battle was fought in the fields in front of the mansion. After an initial advance by the Union side the 4th, 5th, and 7th Texas Cavalry attacked the right side. Weitzel&#39;s line collapsed but was reinforced by Lt. William Marland and the Confederates were pushed back and driven off.</p><br>
<h3>Battle of Bayou Bourbeux</h3><br>
<p>The Battle of Bayou Bourbeux was fought on November 3–4, 1863. Also known as Battle of Grand Coteau or Battle of Carrion Crow Bayou.</p><br>

<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Custom House was part of a large federal building program begun in 1926 during the Herbert Hoover administration in which 1,300 new federal buildings were constructed. The building was designed by the Supervising Architect&#39;s office of the Treasury Department; construction was performed by Robert E. McKee of El Paso, Texas, who was paid $93,800. Groundbreaking was in early summer 1932. In May 1933 the building was complete; it was quietly put into use without a formal dedication ceremony.</p><br>
<p>As traffic increased at the crossing over the decades, an additional building was added north of the 1933 facility.

After a period during which the ground floor of the Custom House was left empty, the ground floor once again houses offices of USA Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).</p><br>
<h2>Significance</h2><br>
<p>The building is considered important for two reasons, one political and one architectural. Politically, the building has played an important symbolic role in relations between Mexico and the United States at one of the busiest land border crossings in the world. Architecturally, it is considered a locally prominent example of the Spanish Colonial Revival architectural style as applied to a public building.</p><br>
