<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Elm Farm is located in rural northern Danville, on the west side of Main Street just south of its junction with Beach Plain Road. The property consists of 85 acre of land, stretching in a relatively narrow strip all the way west to the town line with Sandown. The westernmost portions of the property consists of woods and swamp, while the 30 acre immediately west of the road are given over to crops, pasture, and the farmstead. The farmstead is a typical 19th-century New England connected construction, including a -story farmhouse with Greek Revival and Gothic Revival features, which is attached by a series of two ells to a three-story stable. South of this grouping is a set of outbuildings, including a second stable, cow barn, carriage barn, equipment shed, and hen house. The farmhouse is distinctive in the town as one of its only examples of Gothic architecture.</p><br>
<p>The property has been in agricultural use since at least 1835, when Samuel Sargent Jr. purchased part of the 7th lot of the towns original land grants made in 1760. In addition to farming the land, Bailey manufactured barrels and chairs. His son Bailey operated a variety of businesses, including a cider mill, and offered stabling services. Baileys son Alfred ran a small printing operation here, and his other son Herbert repaired clocks. These businesses were typically conducted out of the second ell of the farmstead, which may have been built specifically for such non-agricultural uses.</p><br>
<p>The Franklin Block is a historic commercial building at 75 Congress Street in downtown Portsmouth, New Hampshire. Built in 1879, this three-story brick building is the largest Victorian-era building standing in the city. It occupies the city block between Fleet Street and Vaughan Mall, a former street that is now a pedestrian mall. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Franklin Block is located in downtown Portsmouth, one block west of the city&#39;s central Market Square, on the north side of Congress Street at Fleet Street. It is a three-story brick structure, built in a U shape. The main facade, facing Congress Street, is lined with commercial storefronts on the ground floor, separated by brick piers, with the main building entrance near the center, framed by fluted stone pilasters. Second-floor windows are grouped in fours, the outer windows of each group set in segmented-arch openings, and the center two set in rectangular openings topped as a pair by a rounded arch of brick and stone. On the third floor, windows are either singly or in pairs in rounded-arch openings, also formed out of brick and stone. Brick corbelling rises to a shallow parapet at the top of the facade.</p><br>
<p>The building was designed in 1879 by Boston architect Arthur H. Vinal for Alfred Stavers, a local merchant, and is believed to be the oldest surviving design by Vinal. Built to replace a previous Franklin Hall destroyed by fire, it housed retail spaces facing Congress Street, and meeting halls and performance spaces in the upper floors. These latter spaces were converted to offices c. 1902, but some of the details of the theater interiors have survived. The block was built as part of a gradual westward expansion of the city&#39;s downtown in the late 19th century.</p><br>
<p>Mayo Mansion, also known as Fetter Mansion, is a historic mansion located in the Bath Avenue Historic District in downtown Ashland, Kentucky.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Following the death of her husband, John C. C. Mayo, Alice Jane Mayo moved to Florida. In 1916, she met Dr. Samuel P. Fetter of Portsmouth, Ohio, while he was recovering from an illness in Palm Beach, Florida. They married the following year and purchased the Victorian Gartrell-Hager House in Ashland, Kentucky, which was built in 1864. Although Mayo wanted to build a new house, she could not due to rations set in place during World War I. To avoid being arrested for building a new home, she received permission to remodel the existing house. Using the wealth amassed from the Mayo Companies, she rebuilt the entire building, transforming it into a 17,000 ft&sup2; Beaux-Arts mansion. Much of the interior, including the tile and marble was taken from her and her first husband&#39;s other home, also known as Mayo Mansion, in Paintsville, Kentucky.</p><br>
<p>A large pool house that was attached to the mansion was demolished in the 1950s. Mayo Mansion was occupied by the Highlands Museum and Discovery Center from 1984 until 1994, when the museum moved into the former C.H. Parsons Department Store Building in the Ashland Commercial Historic District.</p><br>

<p>The May Company Building on Broadway in Downtown Los Angeles, a.k.a. Hamburgers/May Company Department Store and the May Department Store Building, later known as the California Broadway Trade Center, was the flagship store of the May Company California department store chain. It is a contributing property to the NRHP-listed Broadway Theater and Commercial District.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>By the start of the twentieth century, A. Hamburger & Sons had even outgrown their Spring Street location, which had 520 employees working on five floors. The Hamburger family decided to build a much larger store at the southeast corner of Broadway and Eighth, a location that was outside of then current retail district. Construction started in 1905 with a grand opening held in 1908. This location, which was also known as The Great White Store, was the largest department store building west of Chicago at that time and would eventually become the flagship location for the May Company California. At the time that the Great White Store was opened, the store could boast of having one of the first escalators on the West Coast, several restaurants, a drug store with an 80-foot-long soda fountain, grocery store, bakery, fruit store, meat market, USA post office, telegraph office, barber shop, a dentist, a chiropractor, a physician&#39;s office with a fully equipped operating room, a 1,000-seat auditorium, 13 acre of retail space, and 1200 employees. The Los Angeles Public Library was also located on the third floor from 1908 until it was forced to move to a larger location when it outgrew the Hamburger space by 1913. For a short time, Woodbury Business College briefly was also located on the fifth floor.</p><br>
<p>In 1923, the Hamburgers sold their store to the May family of St. Louis for $8.5 million (~$ in ). Thomas and Wilbur Mays, sons of the founder of the May Company, were sent to manage the former Hamburger store. One of the first things that they did was to expand the store again by building adjacent additions on the other parts of the city block. After several more years, the May Company store eventually occupied almost the entire block between Broadway and Hill and between Eighth and Ninth Streets. The old Hamburger store was officially renamed The May Company in 1925.</p><br>
<p>The department store closed in 1986 when May moved to the Seventh Marketplace and the building was turned into retail on the ground floors and a garment factory on the upper floors.</p><br>
<p>In 2014 it was announced that Waterbridge Capital had agreed to buy the building for an estimated $115–130 million; L.A. City Council member Jose Huizar indicated plans a mixed-use development to include offices, a hotel, stores and/or apartments or condominiums. The acquisition by Waterbridge Capital and New York real estate developer Jack Jangana - Broadbridge LA LLC - was completed on August 20, 2014.</p><br>
<p>A spokesman for the company that helped broker the deal said plans include a 24-month renovation that will result in a "creative campus" similar to Twitters headquarters building in San Francisco. The investors goal is to create "one of the largest single tech centers" in the United States.</p><br>
<p>In early 2020, the building was still being renovated when all construction projects in California were halted by order of the governor in March 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In April 2020, Waterbridge Capital and Continental Equities sought $251 million in bridge financing to replace $213 million in financing from Starwood Property Trust that was about to expire. In August 2020, having failed to secure the additional financing, they began seeking buyers for the unfinished building. In November 2020, it was reported that the asking price was $425 million (~$ in ). After reports surfaced in April 2021 that the lenders were planning to foreclose on the property, it was announced that Starwood Property Trust agreed to extend funding for the development to the end of the year.</p><br>
<p>The Maj. John Gilman House is a historic house at 25 Cass Street in Exeter, New Hampshire, United States. Built in 1738, it is a well-preserved example of a Georgian gambrel-roof house, further notable for its association with the locally prominent Gilman family. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The John Gilman House is located north of Exeter&#39;s commercial and civic downtown area, at the southeast corner of Cass and Park streets. It is a -story wood-frame structure, with a gambrel roof and clapboarded exterior. Its main facade is five bays wide, with a central entrance flanked by pilasters and topped by a transom and gabled pediment. Windows are topped by shallow projecting cornices on the ground floor, and butt against the eave on the second floor. The windows themselves appear to be c. 1830 Greek Revival replacements, and are narrower and taller than typical Georgian windows. The interior was subjected to a careful restoration of its 18th-century character in the 1960s.</p><br>
<p>The house was built in 1738 by Colonel John Gilman for his son, also named John. The elder Gilman lived in the nearby Gilman Garrison House, in which his son was born. It is one of only three gambrel-roofed houses to survive in the town from the Georgian period, and it is the least-altered of those. The Gilmans, both father and son, were prominent in the local militia and town affairs. Later residents included Thomas Odiorne, son-in-law of the younger Gilman, who was a successful merchant and manufacturer of equipment and parts for sailing ships.</p><br>
<p>Major John Gilman held an enslaved African boy of fourteen years old, Caesar Nero Paul, in this house as a house-boy. Caesar later accompanied him to the French and Indian Wars, was captured, then returned to Exeter in 1771 and lived as a free man. Caesar married Lovey Rollins and was the father of noted Baptist minister Rev. Thomas Paul and two other ministers. His daughter Rhoda married noted black Revolutionary soldier Jude Hall, and another daughter, Nancy, was the mother of black abolitionist poet James Monroe Whitfield.</p><br>
<p>The Maupin Section Foremans House is a historic section house in Maupin, Oregon, United States. It recalls the days of the "Last Great Railroad War"  between the rival transportation empires of E. H. Harriman and James J. Hill, as they raced to build routes up the Deschutes River canyon, connecting the mainlines along the Columbia River to the new markets of Central Oregon. Harrimans Des Chutes Railroad Company built the house to the Union Pacific Common Standard Plan for buildings  in 1910. It was one of three buildings in the "country combination station" at Maupin, and served as residence for the maintenance of way foreman for the local section of track. The other two buildings of the station  were demolished by 1968. Most of the Des Chutes Railroad tracks in the canyon were abandoned in 1936, granting Hill the final victory in the race. The road passing in front of the house utilizes the former railroad grade.</p><br>
<p>The Bureau of Land Management acquired the house in 1968.</p><br>

<p>The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on November 6, 1986.</p><br>
<p>The Samuel Moody Grubbs House is a historic house located at 805 E. Union Ave. in Litchfield, Illinois. The house was built in 1873-74 for Samuel Moody Grubbs, a banker who later became Litchfields mayor. George Ingham Barnett, a prominent St. Louis architect, designed the Second Empire house; it is the only standing Barnett design in Illinois. The design is typical of the second half of Barnetts career, when he shifted from Italianate to Second Empire designs, and represents a popular style in postbellum America. A mansard roof with slate tiles tops the house; a cornice running along the roofline features paired brackets. The front of the house features a wraparound porch supported by columns. The house&#39;s corners have bold quoins. In a deviation from the typical rectangular plans of Second Empire houses, Barnett gave the house a cross axis plan with projecting wings.</p><br>
<p>The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on February 21, 1990.</p><br>
<p>The Freeman-Brewer-Sawyer House is a historic house in Hillsboro, Illinois. The Greek Revival house was built in 1840, during the height of the style&#39;s popularity in the United States. The two-story house features six-over-six windows and a front entrance framed by pilasters, sidelights, and a transom; in addition, it originally had a portico supported by Doric columns. In 1904, the portico was replaced by a Classical Revival porch; the rounded, projecting porch features a balustrade along its roof, egg-and-dart molding, dentillation, and urn-shaped finials.</p><br>
<p>The house was originally owned by Sally Freeman and her family. In 1849, Judge William Brewer purchased the house, which has remained in his family through at least the 1990s. Brewer&#39;s daughter Sarah and her husband A. A. K. Sawyer were responsible for the Classical porch.</p><br>
<p>The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on November 5, 1992.</p><br>
<p>The Manske–Niemann Farm is a historic 462 acre farm complex located at 13 Franks Lane near Litchfield, Illinois. The farm was most likely established in the 1850s and was purchased by German immigrant Michael Manske in 1863. Manske and his family developed and expanded the farm in three main stages. The first stage, completed in the 1860s and 1870s, included the original I-house, horse barn, and smokehouse. In the 1890s, the family added a granary, corncrib, cow barn, and other buildings to the farm, representing shifts in the farms crops and livestock. An expansion in the first two decades of the 20th century included a third barn, numerous animal sheds and feed buildings, and structures needed for the mechanization of the farm, such as a gas pump and car shed. The farm remains in the Manske–Niemann family and was owned by Michael Manskes great-great-granddaughter Ophelia Niemann as of 2002; it is a well-preserved example of a German immigrant farmstead.</p><br>
<p>The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on February 27, 2003.</p><br>
<p>The former West Somers Methodist Episcopal Church, also known as Tomahawk Chapel, is located on Tomahawk Street  in the town of Somers, New York, United States. It is a small wooden building in the Greek Revival architectural style built in the 1830s. Also on its lot is the cemetery where many of the early members were buried. In 2011 the church, cemetery and the stone wall that surrounds them were listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>At the time of the churchs construction, West Somers was a thriving agricultural community. Burials had begun in the cemetery almost a decade earlier; most of the areas congregants attended the established Mount Zion Methodist Church some distance away. One of West Somerss more prominent residents built the church so his neighbors would not always have to travel so far; it was so small that circus pioneer Hachaliah Bailey, also a Somers resident, likened it to a tigers cage.</p><br>
<p>Throughout the rest of the 19th century the church was a cornerstone of the West Somers community, with itinerant ministers leading services in the absence of a pastor (according to the United Methodist Church, successor to the Methodist Episcopal Church, the church was never a recognized congregation within the larger denomination). Its Sunday school classes were for a long time the only educational opportunity available to area children. Members continued to be buried in the cemetery; more than half lived to be over 70, an unusually high number for that region and era.</p><br>
<p>Attendance and involvement declined in the early 20th century as West Somers felt the effects of suburbanization and the taking of large tracts of local land to create the reservoirs of the New York City water supply system. By the 1950s the church building had suffered such severe decline and neglect that its porch columns had to be replaced. Further restoration and renovation, including moving the church from its original site in the early 21st century, preceded the building&#39;s listing on the National Register.</p><br>
<h2>Buildings and grounds</h2><br>
<p>The former church building and cemetery occupy a 1.59 acre lot on the west side of Tomahawk, To its north and south are houses on large lots; across the road and slightly to the south is a bar surrounded by a parking lot. On the west is the 66.5 acre town-owned Koegel Park, through which the North County Trailway passes. The headwaters of the Muscoot River are beyond.</p><br>
<p>Like the park, the surrounding area is predominantly wooded, with some areas such as backyards and the immediate vicinity of the church cleared; this becomes more extensive to the church lots north. The terrain is gently hilly, with the churchs lot a small rise between the road and the 668 ft hill at the center of the park. To the east the land slopes more steeply to the hamlet of Shenorock and the headwaters of a short unnamed tributary of the Muscoot that, along with nearby Lake Shenorock, drains into the reservoir.</p><br>
<h3>Church</h3><br>
<p>The church building itself is a 22 by wood frame clapboard-sided structure on an exposed concrete block foundation faced in stone. It is topped by a shingled front-gabled roof. On each facade are two 12-over-8 double-hung sash windows, not symmetrically placed.</p><br>
<p>On the churchs east (front) facade is a 6-by-15-foot (6.5 by) shed-roofed porch. Several piles of loose stones help support the wooden deck. In turn, two smooth round wooden Doric columns support the shingled roof. Below the rooflines overhanging eave is a wide plain frieze.</p><br>
<p>A single wood-paneled door leads into the church&#39;s interior, with a wood floor and coved ceiling. Between them are plaster walls wainscoted with horizontal tongue and groove boards topped by molding at the windowsill level. In the walls are the original metal hardware for placing lanterns.</p><br>
<p>The original 14 straight high-backed wooden pews remain, angled towards the entrance and facing the pulpit, on a raised curved platform against the west wall, fronted by a communion rail. There is an opening for a stove (no longer extant) in the middle of the pews. In the center of the platform is a wooden lectern.</p><br>
<h3>Cemetery</h3><br>
<p>To the west of the church building is the cemetery, really two plots that have grown together over the years. The most conspicuous is that of the Miller family, descended from church builder Thomas Tompkins Miller, located a short distance south of the church. It has a tall obelisk to Miller himself in the middle of a small area delineated by a tasseled iron railing on stone posts. The other plot is located due west of the church. It has some smaller monuments and family plots marked off by iron railings less elaborate than the Millers&#39;.</p><br>
<p>In total there are 76 markers commemorating 95 burials. The earliest is a 10-month-old girl who died in 1831; the most recent burial took place in 1977. Many are members of the same families in groups; among them are eight veterans of wars from the Revolutionary War, War of 1812, Civil War, Spanish–American War and World War I. More than half were recorded to have been 70 or over at the time of their deaths, an unusually high longevity rate for the era and the region.</p><br>
<p>The markers themselves exhibit the evolution of funerary art during the 19th century. Many are marble or granite; they feature common tombstone motifs of the period such as willows and urns. Earlier markers use script lettering while later ones are in block. They also show the evolution in dating that took place over that time: on the older markers the deceased&#39;s date of death and exact age in years, months and days is given, while later ones simply give the span of life in birth and death years as has been common practice since.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The church was built during the early settlement of northern Westchester County, a time when rapidly spreading Methodism was the predominant denomination among those who came to the area. It was most active in the decades after it was built, but suffered greatly after the Civil War. In the 20th and 21st centuries its history has primarily been one of preservation efforts.</p><br>
<h3>1800–1830: Settlement</h3><br>
<p>Starting during the Revolution, settlers in search of good farmland began working their way up the Muscoot River from its confluence with the Croton River. Those who reached today&#39;s West Somers and cleared the lowlands around the river were rewarded with some of the most fertile soil along it. Good roads and the rivers of the time made it easy to ship their produce to the markets of New York City to the south.</p><br>
<p>By the early years of the 19th century the area had been totally settled. Industry joined the farmers along the banks of the river, using its hydraulic power for various kinds of milling. Somers then was one of Westchester Countys economic centers, more populous than the county seat at White Plains. West Somers, where some of the earliest inhabitants had settled, had a general store and blacksmiths shop serving the farms and mills.</p><br>
<p>A post office was established in 1830. By then West Somers was a regular stop on livestock drives along the Peekskill–Danbury Turnpike, the predecessor road to today&#39;s USA Route 202 across the county. Thriving though it was, the community still lacked a house of worship.</p><br>
<p>At that time Methodism was the prevalent Protestant denomination in the area. The Mount Zion Methodist Church (also listed on the National Register), closer to the center of Somers today, was only the third Methodist church in the state when it was established and built in 1794. Many of the West Somers settlers went there for worship.</p><br>
<h3>1837–1863: Construction</h3><br>
<p>In 1830 a schism in American Methodism over the issue of church governance led to the establishment of the Methodist Episcopal Church and the Methodist Protestant Church. The latter eschewed bishops and allowed local congregations greater say in their own affairs. It had more appeal to Americans of the era, and in 1837 a group called the Methodist Protestant Society of West Somers bought a half-acre (0.5 acre) parcel on the present site for $100 ($ in modern dollars) Thomas Tompkins Miller, a builder who was one of the society&#39;s trustees, a town justice of the peace and a descendant of one of the older families in West Somers, built the church himself.</p><br>
<p>There had already been some church activity in the area. A ten-month-old girl&#39;s 1831 burial is the oldest in the cemetery plots. Attendance books from that era kept by the Somers Historical Society suggest that Sunday school, an important part of Methodist ministry, had been held in West Somers starting as early as that year. For many local children it would be their only educational opportunity, as all other schools that existed at the time were too far away.</p><br>
<p>Aesthetically the church reflects the exhortation of early Methodist bishop Francis Asbury, who frequently preached at Mount Zion, that the denomination&#39;s houses of worship should be "plain and decent, but no more expensive than absolutely unavoidable." Like the similarly austere Mount Zion, West Somers is an extremely restrained application of a contemporary neoclassical architectural style. At the time of its construction, it did not have the porch it presently does, although its roof was pierced by a single brick chimney that is no longer extant.</p><br>
<p>The small size of the church attracted some notice at the time. Due to its small size, and lack of a pastor, the church would later be locally known as the Tomahawk Chapel after the street it was on. Hachaliah Bailey, the Somers resident who pioneered the American circus by exhibiting an elephant at what is now known as the Elephant Hotel, observed that "Tom Miller is building a church no bigger than a tiger&#39;s cage."</p><br>
<p>There is no record that the church was ever assigned a pastor. Services were held by the many itinerant ministers in the area. Greater matters were handled through the more established churches in the area, such as the Yorktown-Croton Lake church in Pines Bridge.</p><br>
<p>In 1844, a further schism, this one over slavery, divided the Methodist Episcopal Church. The abolitionist Northern branch began to implement some of the same reforms in church governance that had caused the split with the Methodist Protestants 16 years earlier, and relations between the two began to thaw. In 1863, during the Civil War, West Somers changed its denomination to affiliate with the Northern Methodist Episcopal Church. The same year, it purchased the one-acre (4,000 m) lot next to the church with the intention of building a new church on it.</p><br>
<h3>1864–1910: Decline of congregation</h3><br>
<p>After the war ended, the church went into decline. Older members died and were buried in the cemetery; younger ones left the area. They were not so easily replaced. Somers&#39; early economic advantages had been offset when the railroads, which had begun extending themselves into Westchester during the 1840s, grew out having bypassed the town, and newcomers to the region settled where the tracks were. The planned new church was never built.</p><br>
<p>Shortly after the war the original West Somers Methodist Protestant Society, no longer sustainable due to its diminished numbers, turned the church property over to the Methodist Episcopal Society of the Cortlandt Circuit. They had the property surveyed for conversion into a cemetery in 1874, but never followed through with that project, and in 1877 gave it up. The Mount Zion Circuit took over.</p><br>
<p>In the last decades of the 19th century further changes in northern Westchester negatively affected the West Somers church. The railroads began to spur suburbanization, as city residents who originally spent their summers and weekends in the area began to realize that they could live there full-time and commute to their jobs in the city via train. The growing city, in need of water, began acquiring large tracts of land, sometimes including whole communities, in the area through eminent domain, reducing the total amount of land available for development and thus driving up the value of what remained. This induced many of the area&#39;s farmers, the population from which West Somers had grown, to sell their farms for subdivision and development.</p><br>
<p>Despite these developments, sometime around 1910 the porch was added to the church building. It did not have any effect on the building&#39;s use, as services already held sporadically at that time appear to have ceased completely afterwards, except for burials of descendants of members who wished to be buried with their families. Nevertheless, a 1930 photo shows the church still in relatively good condition and the surrounding property maintained.</p><br>
<h3>1910–present: Preservation and restoration</h3><br>
<p>By 1953, however, the property had become neglected and fallen into serious disrepair. Some of the local families got together and restored it, raising money through a Grange fair. They were able to repaint the interior and exterior and replace the roof. In the process of the latter work they removed the chimney completely; a pile of bricks was found in the nearby woods during a later renovation. A neighboring couple cleaned up the landscaping and gravestones. Six years after this restoration, Thomas Miller&#39;s granddaughter Ruth was married to Ernest Pinckney, another descendant of an old West Somers family, in the church. It was the last ceremony held in the building; the last burial in the graveyard took place in 1977.</p><br>
<p>Local interest in the church did not wane. The following year an architect appraised the building and found its older elements had seriously deteriorated. A local Eagle Scout did an inventory of the graves and markers for his project. The Somers Historical Society replaced the roof again; another Eagle Scout redid the interior walls as his project. These efforts culminated in 1984 with research into the church&#39;s history and ownership. As a result, the United Methodist Church formally transferred the church to the town two years later; its remaining records and some of its other artifacts were removed to the custody of the historical society, which has had responsibility for the site ever since.</p><br>
<p>Concern for the building did not end there and then. In 1989 another local architect who evaluated the churchs condition recommended moving it off its foundation, as the existing one had seriously deteriorated, threatening the buildings structural integrity. Two years later the building was moved to its current site, 22 ft to the south of its original location. Its new foundation was made of concrete blocks faced in stone to maintain the building&#39;s historic appearance. Another Eagle Scout repainted the exterior walls again in 1995. Two years afterward, when Ruth Miller Pinckney died, her estate left a bequest for the maintenance of the family plot.</p><br>
<p>The following year, the porch columns were replaced. In 1999, a local couple who had just moved to Somers began exploring the town&#39;s historic sites. They found the West Somers church and cemetery heavily overgrown and "took pity on it." They once again cleared the overgrowth and did some work on the building, repainting the exterior walls and restoring its porch in 2006. Their research led to its listing on the National Register of Historic Places in 2011.</p><br>
<p>The Union Trust Bank Company Building is a historic bank building located at 200 Collinsville Avenue in downtown East St. Louis, Illinois.</p><br>
<h2>Background</h2><br>
<p>Built from 1922 to 1926, the building housed the Union Trust & Savings Bank, which was founded in 1901 by August Schlafly. Architect Thomas Imbs designed the Classical Revival building. The banks opening followed a major race riot and a series of corruption scandals in East St. Louis, and its construction marked a turnaround in what had until then been a struggling city. The new building inspired confidence in the citys downtown, and several landmark buildings were built in downtown East St. Louis in the ensuing decade. The building was one of two Classical Revival banks built in East St. Louis and is the only one which is still standing.</p><br>
<p>The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on May 27, 2014.</p><br>
