<p>The Cherry Street Historic District is a historic district in Florence, Alabama. Florence was founded in 1818 and quickly prospered as a cotton shipping port on the Tennessee River, but did not see its greatest growth until the latter part of the 19th century. Spurred by industrial development from several mills and iron furnaces as well as the Florence Wagon Works, the demand for middle-class, suburban homes increased. Five houses in the district date from the late 1800s, but the majority were constructed from the late 1910s through the mid 1930s, when the city saw further growth fueled by the construction of Wilson Dam and a large potassium nitrate production plant. The earliest houses in the district are predominantly Queen Anne style, with late 1800s houses being mostly two stories and early 1900s houses mostly one story. During the second wave of construction between 1920 and 1938, most houses built were bungalows. Five apartment buildings were also built to house the influx of workers coming to the area, centered on North Cherry Street and East Tuscaloosa Street, which became known as "Angel Corner" after its developer, J. M. Angel. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1997.</p><br>

<p>Windway is a historic residential property located north of Kohler, Wisconsin. It was built in 1937–1938 by Walter J. Kohler, Jr., future governor of Wisconsin and an executive of the Kohler Company.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Kohler commissioned architect William Deknatel, who had been an apprentice to Frank Lloyd Wright in the early 1930s, to design the house.</p><br>
<p>The property was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.</p><br>
<p>The home is currently owned by Windway Capital Corporation and is used as a residence for artists participating in the John Michael Kohler Arts Center residency program. Windway Capital Corporation is a holding company created by Kohler&#39;s son, Terry Kohler, that wholly owns The Vollrath Company, North Sails, Southern Spars and Edgewater Power Boats.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The house is an example of International Style of architecture. The house was designed to accommodate Mr. Kohler, his first wife Marie Celeste, their three children, and three servants.</p><br>
<p>The house is two levels roughly equal in area but with different, overlapping footprints. The first level is roughly T-shaped with the main section running east–west with a guest room, study, play room, and dining room. The kitchen and laundry rooms extend to the north and the living room extends to the south. The garage is also on the first level but is separated from the main house with a drive-through from the driveway to the court.</p><br>
<p>The second level is L-shaped in plan with the one leg extending north over the driveway and above the garage and the other leg running to the east. The servants rooms were above the garage. One of the childrens bedrooms was above the drive-through with the remaining two childrens bedrooms located east–west in the south leg. The master bedroom suite was at the east end of the second floor. The second floor did not extend over the kitchen area or over the living room with a roof deck over the living room.</p><br>
<h3>Construction</h3><br>
<p>The house has a steel and concrete framework which supports the wood roof and floor decks. There are concrete-encased steel beams exposed above the roofline. One runs east–west above the second floor, two are above the section of the second floor that is above the drive-through, two run north–south above the first floor living room extension, and there are two each above the dining room and kitchen areas of the first floor. The exterior brick walls are primarily a veneer over the concrete except the north wall which is a load bearing masonry wall. The suspended roof construction allows a level interior ceiling and full height windows.</p><br>
<h3>Exterior</h3><br>
<p>All the wood on the exterior was originally tidewater red cypress. The brick is a "tan" colonial that varies in color from tan to a reddish-brown and was laid with a recessed header row. The original roof was a level tar and gravel construction designed to hold 2 inches of water to help with summer cooling. Two small raised pools are located at the south end of the living room and on the east side of the dining room.</p><br>
<h3>Interior</h3><br>
<p>The ceiling and most walls are sand-floated plaster. The chimney and other interior masonry used the same "tan" brick as the exterior. Wood in the main rooms on the first floor were red birch with white birch used in the bedrooms. The floors were primarily white maple except in the hallways which were originally concrete covered in linoleum. Some minor remodeling has occurred. The stairways and floors on the second level are currently carpeted and some of the rooms have been re-purposed to accommodate its use as an artists&#39; residency.</p><br>
<h2>Site and Landscape</h2><br>
<p>The house was placed on the edge of a bluff which drops about 40 feet to the east. To the west, a rise shelters the house so it is not visible from the road. The driveway rises gently from the road and then drops to pass through the first level and court area and then form a full loop back to the top of the hill. The landscape was kept very simple with open lawn areas surrounding the house and with remainder of the parcel originally a mixture of pasture and woodland, but now mostly wooded. A number of large mature trees sit close to the house and punctuate the lawn areas. The lawn area around the first floor is fairly level to south and west. An outdoor patio area has been added in the southwest corner. The ground to east of the house drops off rather steeply and the area closest to the house is terraced. The Pigeon River meanders through the 52 acre property, entering in the southwest corner, flowing roughly along the south border then turning north to bisect the property. At its closest point it passes within about 200 feet of the house.</p><br>
<h2>Residents/Ownership</h2><br>
<p>Kohler built the home with his first wife, Marie Celeste Holden. When the home was completed in the spring of 1938, Kohler and Holden had two children, son Terry Kohler and daughter Charlotte Nicolette (Niki) Kohler. The children would have been very young since Terry was born in May 1934 and Niki in March 1936. Kohler and Holden were divorced in 1946, the same year that Jacquelin (Jackie) Holden, Celestes daughter from her first marriage, began living at Windway at the age of 22. Jackie had spent most of her teenage years in boarding school in Connecticut. Despite Kohler being her former step-dad after the divorce, Jackie apparently had an affinity for Kohler and later in life after her second divorce referred to herself as Jackie Kohler despite never having been adopted by him. Kohlers second wife, Charlotte Martha Wiley, moved in with Kohler at Windway after they were married in November 1947. Soon after Wiley ordered all of Jackie&#39;s belongings to be placed on the driveway, effectively kicking her out of Windway.</p><br>
<p>Niki lived in the home until 1950 when she was sent to live at Woods School in Langhorne, Pennsylvania after having a mental disability diagnosis. Terry left Windway in 1950 for prep school but lived there again in 1954 before joining the United States Air Force in 1955. Kohler lived in the home until his death in 1976.</p><br>
<p>In 1958, Kohlers brother Robert E. Kohler, Sr., commissioned Deknatel to build a 7,000 square foot home named Thornhill northeast of Windway on an adjacement property that also bordered the Pigeon River. By 1988, even though Wiley was still living in Windway, the ownership had passed to Vollrath Company. After Roberts death in 1990, Wiley bought Thornhill and moved into that home until she died in 1995.</p><br>

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The house is a large -story wood-frame structure, whose main block is four bays wide and two rooms deep, with a large central chimney. The bays on the front facade are irregularly spaced: the main entrance is centered, with two sash windows on the south (right) side and one on the north, while the second level has four windows spaced above the first floor door and windows. A two-story ell extends to the rear of the main block which is said to be a late 19th-century replacement for an earlier ell. A shed-roof porch supported by square posts runs along the south facade of the ell. The ell is further connected to a barn whose construction suggests significant age.</p><br>
<p>The interior of the main block begins with a small vestibule area which has a narrow stair rising to the second floor. The main hall is to the right and the parlor to the left. The original kitchen occupies a space behind the central chimney, with smaller pantry rooms on either side. Decoration in the front rooms includes relatively modest vernacular paneling.

It is located in a forest clearing off Arkansas Highway 4 north of Center Point. It has six major structures: a tabernacle, three dormitories, and two ministers cabins. Although all of these structures were built in the 1940s or later, they were built using construction methods reminiscent of previous structures at the camp, and are roughly in the same locations. The tabernacle is a large open structure with a tin roof supported by square posts. The ministers cabins are modest one-room cabins finished with vertical pine boards. The dormitories are long rectangular structures subdivided into areas called "tents". Each "tent" consists of four rooms separated by a breezeway. Three of these rooms serve as bedrooms, while the fourth, which is open on two sides, serves as a dining area. Attached to each "tent" is a shed-roofed kitchen and cooking area. The dormitories have no windows, only openings cut into the horizontal clapboard siding to provide light and ventilation.</p><br>
<p>The first camp meeting was established in the Center Point area in 1837, but was soon destroyed in windstorm.

<p>Village Number 1, also known as The Village and Nitrate Plant Number 1 Reservation Subdivision, is an unincorporated community in Colbert County, Alabama, in the United States.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In 1916, President Woodrow Wilson signed the National Defense Act, which authorized the construction of two nitrate-manufacturing plants and a dam to provide them hydropower. President Wilson chose Muscle Shoals, Alabama as the site of the dam, which when completed in 1924, was named Wilson Dam. The new plant would produce ammonium nitrate using the Haber process. It was soon discovered the Haber process would not produce the amount of nitrate needed, so another plant was built that employed the cyanamide process.</p><br>
<p>The New York City architect, Harold Caparn, who helped expand the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, was chosen as chief architect of an industrial village that would house supervisors and workers for the Nitrate Plant No. 1. Construction of the village began in the latter half of 1918. The village was designed in the pattern of a handbell, with houses surrounding the handle, body, and clapper, and a school at the base. At its completion, the village contained 112 residential structures, 2 school buildings, and one large apartment building that housed unmarried officers.</p><br>
<p>World War I ended on November 11, 1918, and with it, the production of ammonium nitrate was no longer needed. The plant was closed, and the newly built houses stood unoccupied. In 1921, Henry Ford offered to buy the plants and village with plans to develop it into an industrial complex. Until 1933, only a small number of the houses were occupied, all by Alabama Power Company workers. Senator George W. Norris thought the site should be utilized for public use, and in May 1933, President Franklin D. Roosevelt formed the Tennessee Valley Authority. The industrial complex would be used for fertilizer production and as a development center. In 1949, the streets, playgrounds, and school were deeded to the city of Sheffield by the TVA and the houses were auctioned to the public.</p><br>
<p>The College Place Historic District is a historic district in Florence, Alabama. The area was the site of a Confederate fortification during the Civil War.

The property began to be sold off in the 1900s, with the oldest house in the district dating to 1907. Construction in the district accelerated in the mid- to late-1920s, with many professionals including physicians, merchants, scientists, and attorneys building homes in the neighborhood. Styles represented include Mission Revival, Georgian Revival, and bungalows. The district rises on a slight slope above the campus of the University of North Alabama, and has vistas of the campus including Wesleyan Hall. The district was listed on the Alabama Register of Landmarks and Heritage in 1992 and the National Register of Historic Places in 1995; the boundaries were extended in 1998.</p><br>

<p>The Old Rondo Cemetery is located at the junction of McClure Road  and Cobb Lane in Rondo, a small community in Miller County just northeast of Texarkana, Arkansas. The cemetery is best known for the burial site at its center, where the remains of 85 Confederate Army soldiers are buried. In 1862, during the Union Army advance on Little Rock, Confederate troops stationed at Rondo were swept up in a measles epidemic. The 19th Texas Infantry Regiment had seven companies stationed at Rondo, and most of the dead came from its ranks. The 85 dead were disinterred from their original graves and reburied in the Rondo Cemetery after the war. In 1931 the Texarkana chapter of the United Daughters of the Confederacy received federal funding for the purchase of the plot and the placement of memorial markers. There are 17 markers, one for every five of the unknown soldiers, as well as a sandstone monument placed in 1962 and a historical marker placed in the 1990s on the plot, which is set off from the rest of the cemetery by a low concrete boundary wall.</p><br>
<p>The Confederate section of the cemetery was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004.</p><br>

The main facade is divided into three bays, the central one providing the main entry on the first floor, and an arched-top window above. The flanking bays are plate glass on the first floor, with tripled sash windows above. The buildings first tenant was the Cotton Belt Railroad, whose arrival was responsible for Texarkanas significant growth in the early 20th century.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2008.</p><br>
<p>The Dean House is a historic house at 1520 Beech Street in Texarkana, Arkansas. It is a two-story wood-frame house, built in 1911 for Thomas Mercer Dean, a local farmer and lumberman. Its principal distinguishing feature is its large Colonial Revival portico, with paired two-story Tuscan columns supporting an elaborate entablature. Porches wrap around the north and east sides of the house, and there is a porte-cochère at the southern corner.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976, and it was included in the Beech Street Historic District in 2010.</p><br>
<p>The Burton–Blackstone–Carey Store is a historic commercial building at 103 State Street in Millsboro, Delaware. It is a -story wood-frame structure with vernacular Greek Revival styling. Built c. 1840, it is Millsboro&#39;s oldest surviving commercial building. Originally located at the corner of Main and State Streets, it was moved a short distance down State Street in 1918 to make way for the construction of the  Delaware Trust building. The Burton–Blackstone–Carey Store has retained much original fabric, including original siding material, most of which is now preserved under more recent metal siding.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2014.</p><br>
<p>The Pawnee Agency Office and Superintendent&#39;s House are two of several buildings located in the 29-acre Boarding School Historic District in Pawnee, Oklahoma. Both were awarded National Historic Place status in 1973. The surrounding district was awarded National Historic Place status in 2000.</p><br>
<p>The Superintendent&#39;s house is the oldest structure in the Historic District, built in 1876. It was the original office and residence of the Indian Agent. At the turn of the century this individual became the superintendent of the school in the Historic District.</p><br>
<p>White City is a residential neighborhood in Midtown, Tulsa, Oklahoma. It is bounded on the north by 2nd Street, on the east by Fulton Avenue, on the south by 11th Street and on the west by Yale Avenue. The neighborhood was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2001. The area includes 480 buildings, of which 325 retain their historic significance. Two parks are also included in the listing.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The property now covered by White City had been a part of the Creek Nation since the tribe had emigrated to Indian Territory. After the tribal property allocation, ownership of this piece of land passed to one individual member, Edward Crowell. Glenn T. Braden, founder of Oklahoma Natural Gas Company (now ONE Gas), bought a large part of the tract from Crowell in 1912. Braden built the White City Jersey Dairy Farm on the tract and imported a herd of Jersey cattle. The farm&#39;s name refers to the color of barns and silos that Braden built there.</p><br>
<p>After Braden died in 1923, his children closed the dairy, platted the land and began selling lots for the construction of houses. Development of White City subdivision began in 1926. The development included a park named White City Park, but the name was changed later to Braden Park. During the first stage of development (1926 -1930), the lots were about 1 acre. The majority of the houses were built in the Tudor Revival style. Construction declined during the Great Depression and World War II. In 1946, homebuilding resumed and that became the year of greatest home sales in White City. Houses constructed during this second phase were predominantly Minimal Traditional style. Construction continued until the early 1950s, when the available lots were fully occupied.</p><br>
<h2>General description</h2><br>
<p>According to a 1999 survey prepared by Audley, the neighborhood contained 570 buildings. Of these, 442 (77.5%) were assessed as contributing structures. The other 128 buildings were assessed as non-contributing either because they had been significantly altered in appearance or because they did not meet the age requirement.efnA building must be at least 50 years old to be considered as contributing to the designation of a historic district. No buildings were considered eligible for individual listing on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>The survey found that one house had been built as early as 1915. The first two additions were White City and Glen Haven, both platted in 1926. Sanford Addition was platted in 1942. Glen Haven was amended in 1946. White City (@) and Bowlin Acres were platted in 1947 and Norton Addition platted in 1954. Audley documented that 11 buildings had been built by 1926, and 92 were constructed after 1949.</p><br>
<p>Oil and gas wells existed on the White City property, but these were shut down in the early 1930s. Underground coal mines were also in existence as early as 1917, producing as much as 20 carloads a day. These mines closed in the late 1930s.</p><br>
<h2>Braden Park</h2><br>
<p>The White City dairy had a stock pond that supplied water for the livestock. In 1926, this became the focus of White City Park. The size of the pond was reduced to about half its former size, a fountain was added and the 10 acre area of the park was landscaped. The park was renamed Braden Park and continues to operate as a Tulsa city park. The park has tennis courts, picnic tables and two playgrounds.</p><br>
<p>The Seward Plantation is a historic site built in 1855, a Southern plantation-turned-ranch located in Independence, Texas. The Seward Plantation has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since January 29, 2013. It was documented as part of the Historical American Buildings Survey. It has a Texas Centennial Marker.</p><br>
<h2>Location</h2><br>
<p>The plantation is located 1 mi east of Independence near Brenham in Washington County, Texas. It is off Farm to Market Road 390, also known as La Bahía Road (later Old Washington Road). The La Bahia Road was originally an east-west Indian trail also used by Spanish explorers in the 17th century. One can still see remnants of the La Bahia Road on the Seward Plantation.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Between 1832 and 1833, Samuel Seward (1794–1870) moved from Illinois to Mexican Texas with Stephen F. Austin. Seward purchased 1,700 acre of land, then 300 acre more.</p><br>
<p>In the 1850s, after Texas had become a state, the land passed to his son, John Hoblett Seward (1822–1892). John Seward was married Laura Jane Roberts (1838–1920) of Houston. The main house on the plantation was built in 1855.</p><br>
<p>The plantation house was originally built as a one-story building 1/4 mile from Sam Sewards house. One year after its completion the house was rolled on large cottonwood logs 3/4th of a mile, to its current location because the original location was found to be inaccessible during the rainy seasons and unhealthful during the cold seasons. The house was constructed almost entirely from cedar trees growing within sight of the original location. It sits securely on a stone base. The Seward family added a second story soon after the house was moved, and made other additions through the years. After it was enlarged, the plantation home became the largest house in Washington County. The property also included barns, log cabins for slaves, a smokehouse, a corn crib and a blacksmiths shop, many of which are still standing.</p><br>
<p>It was used as a cotton plantation prior to the American Civil War of 1861 to 1865. After the war, it became a cattle ranch.</p><br>
<p>The house survived the storm of 1900. The Seward Plantation remained in the Seward family until 2017, when it was purchased by a family from Houston who is restoring the property and using the house as a private home.</p><br>
<p>The George Coulter House  is a historic house located at 420 South Pine Street in Florence, Alabama.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The house was built in about 1827 by George Coulter, a planter, lawyer, and soldier originally from Middle Tennessee. During the Civil War, the house was used as a command post by Union Army Colonel John Marshall Harlan, partially due to its location on a hillside overlooking downtown and the Tennessee River. The house was later owned by W. W. Slaton, who renovated the house in the late 1940s, adding a wing that was originally used as medical offices. The frame house is designed in Federal style, with Adamesque woodwork throughout the interior. Narrow two-level porticoes with Tuscan order columns on the north and south faces were replaced in the 1940s by porticoes with a pair of square columns and a central balcony. The original brick kitchen was formerly connected to the house via a covered breezeway which has since been enclosed.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the Alabama Register of Landmarks and Heritage in 1979, and the National Register of Historic Places on January 21, 1982.</p><br>
<p>The Ritz Theatre in Elizabeth, New Jersey is a performing arts center.</p><br>
<p>The Ritz was built on the site of the 1865 Drake Opera House/Peoples Theatre/Star Theatre/ Jacobs Theatre/Proctor&#39;s Theatre. The theatre was purchased in 1925 by Jacob Fabian, who hired architect Fred Wesley Wentworth to design the Ritz Theatre on the site, which opened on March 9, 1926 with 2,791 seats. By 1941 it was operated by Warner Bros. Circuit Management Corp. While there were performances through the 1970s, by the 1980s it was threatened with demolition. In 1989 it was purchased local philanthropists who set out to restore the theatre but ran out of funding. In 1994 purchased by George Castro, who has restored it to its 1920s grand appearance. It is a contributing property to the Mid-Town Historic District. Among the notables who have performed there are Chaka Kahn, George Burns, Harry Chapin, Jack Benny, The Marx Brother, Maya Angelou, Miles Davis, Ray Charles, and Rodney Dangerfield.</p><br>
<p>The Oak Grove Rosenwald School is a historic school building on Oak Grove Road in Oak Grove, a small settlement in southeastern Sevier County, Arkansas. It is a single-story wood-frame structure, built in 1926 with financial assistance from the Rosenwald Fund. It has two classrooms, and is based on a standard plan developed by Samuel Smith, an agent for the Rosenwald Fund, for this type of small community school. It was probably used for the education of local African Americans until the state&#39;s schools were integrated, and is the only surviving Rosenwald school in the county.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004.</p><br>
<p>The Rosenwald Fund provided for 38 schools in Arkansas in 1926–27, including this and 19 others of two-room schoolhouse design.</p><br>
<p>The Sam Perley Farm is a historic farmstead on Perley Road in Naples, Maine. Built in 1809, it is a well-preserved local example of Federal period architecture, and is historically notable for its long association with the prominent Perley family. The farmstead includes a carriage house, wellhouse and barn, all of 19th century origin. The property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Perley Farm complex is located in northwestern Naples, on the north side of Perley Road. The assemblage includes a large wood-frame house, with attached ell and carriage barn, a detached barn, and a wellhouse. The main house is a -story wood frame Federal style structure, with a gable roof, central chimney, clapboard siding, and granite foundation. It has a five bay front facade, with a projecting central gabled entrance vestibule (architecture). A -story ell, also with chimney, extends to the rear. Attached to the ell is the -story shed-roof carriage house. The main house&#39;s roof has dormers that appear to be Greek Revival, and there is a later Italianate window bay on the east end.</p><br>
<p>The house was built in 1809 by Thomas Perley, whose ancestor (also named Thomas) was one of the original proprietors of the town of Bridgton (from which Naples was later divided) in 1763. Thomas father Squire Enoch Perley was one of Bridgton, Maines first settlers. Thomas&#39; son Samuel (1817-1881) was a prominent local citizen, serving as president of the county agricultural society, and in the state legislature. He was also one of the founding trustees of the school that later became the University of Maine, and was well known in the state at the time of his death.</p><br>
<p>The Perley family is featured in the Voices of Pondicherry series written by Caroline Grimm. www.VoicesofPondicherry.com</p><br>
<p>Immaculate Conception Church and Rectory is a former Catholic church and adjacent rectory in St. Louis, Missouri, United States. It is the home of the Compton Heights Concert Band. The former church and rectory are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Immaculate Conception was the name of three different churches in the city of St. Louis at different periods of time. The first church was built at Eighth and Chestnut Streets in 1854. It was forced to close from damage and potential danger by the tunnels that were dug beneath it. The parish was re-established in 1874 at Jefferson and Lucas Streets. The second parish was suppressed by Archbishop John Joseph Kain in 1902. Six years later what had been St. Kevin&#39;s Parish was renamed Immaculate Conception when the present church building was constructed.</p><br>
<p>The original St. Kevins Church was built in 1876 at Park Street and Cardinal Avenue. By 1904 the parish was in need of a larger church. They decided to relocate to the corner of Lafayette and Longfellow. The United States had been placed under the patronage of the Blessed Virgin Mary under her title of the Immaculate Conception. It was decided to rename the parish Immaculate Conception/St. Kevin. The former St. Kevins church building was converted for use as the parish school, which was served by the Sisters of Loretto. In time the parish dropped St. Kevin from its name and became known simply as Immaculate Conception.</p><br>
<p>In 1977, St. Henry Church (founded in 1885) merged with Immaculate Conception. The parish became known as Immaculate Conception/St. Henrys and was staffed by the Augustinians. The former St. Henrys Church at Rutger and California Streets was destroyed as a result of two fires in the mid 1990s and had to be torn down. The Catholic population in the area declined over the years and the parish was closed in 2005. The church and rectory were purchased for use by the Compton Heights Concert Band. They were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2008.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The St. Louis architectural firm of Barnett, Haynes & Barnett designed the Gothic Revival style buildings. Around the same time they designed the Cathedral Basilica of Saint Louis. The church was constructed of stone. It features three rose windows and a soaring interior.</p><br>
<p>The J.G. Evans Barn is a historic barn on Hodgen Road in Black Forest, Colorado. It is a two-story wood-frame structure measuring 46 ft by 60 ft, and is a typical Midwestern three-portal barn. It was built in 1885 by John Evans, an Iowa native who moved to the area in 1884. It is one of the few remaining barns from the early settlement and development period in Black Forest.</p><br>
<p>The complex is located in the hilly landscape with pine trees and includes the barn building, a windmill with missing blades, and a metallic tank. It is currently disused.</p><br>
<p>The barn was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004.</p><br>
<p>St. John Nepomuk Parish Historic District is centered on the Catholic parish of St. John Nepomuk in the Soulard neighborhood of St. Louis, Missouri, United States. The historic district is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>St. John Nepomuk was established as a national Bohemian parish in 1854. It was the first such parish founded in the United States. At one time a Czech language newspaper was published in one of the parish buildings. As the parish grew new church buildings were built in 1873 and 1887. The present church, however, is largely an 1897 reconstruction. The building had been largely damaged in a tornado the previous year. The parish school, which sits across Eleventh Street from the church, was begun in 1869. It was staffed by the School Sisters of Notre Dame. In 1971 the church building and six ancillary buildings were designated a City Landmark in St. Louis and they were listed as an historic district on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972. The parish was closed in 2005, but the church building has remained active as a chapel.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>Chicago architect Adolphus Druiding designed the Gothic Revival-style church. He is known for the many Catholic churches, schools, rectories and convents that he designed, especially in the Midwestern United States. The exterior of the church is composed of brick, which blends in with the other buildings on Soulard.</p><br>
<p>St. Liborius Church and Buildings is centered on the former Catholic parish of St. Liborius in the St. Louis Place neighborhood of St. Louis, Missouri, United States. The historic district is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and it is listed as a City Landmark in St. Louis.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>St. Liborius was established as a German national parish in 1856.</p><br>
<p>The church building is a large Gothic Revival structure covered in red brick. It was designed by New York City architect William Shickel.</p><br>
<p>The church was completed in 1889. The rectory was built the following year and the convent was built in 1905. The School Sisters of Notre Dame taught in the parish school from 1859 to 1969. The parish buildings were declared a City Landmark in 1975 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979. A decrease in the number of Catholics in the area led to a merger with neighboring parishes. It merged with Our Lady of Perpetual Help, Holy Name, and Holy Trinity. The church was closed in 1992 and many of the church&#39;s decorative furnishings were sold at an auction in 1993. The property was purchased by Hogan Street Partners LLC.</p><br>
<p>The church has been renovated into a private skate park, named "Sk8 Liborius." In 2016, it was visited by RasTerms and Depoe. In late 2016, it was featured on an episode of VICELAND&#39;s Abandoned.</p><br>
<p>The church building, rectory and skate park inside were destroyed by a fire on June 29, 2023. A community effort is underway to rebuild the space.</p><br>
<p>The Pawnee Agency and Boarding School District lies east of the city of Pawnee in Pawnee County, Oklahoma. Other names are: Pawnee Indian Agency, Pawnee Indian School and Pawnee Indian Boarding School. The District occupies approximately 29 acres of the Pawnee Tribal Reserve, a 726 acre tract that is owned by the Pawnee tribe. Black Bear Creek divides the District from the town. The Pawnee Agency was established as a post office on May 4, 1876.</p><br>
<h2>History of the Pawnee School in Indian Territory</h2><br>
<p>The policy of the USA Government toward the Native Americans was to get them to accept allotment (ownership of tribal land by individual tribesmen) and American style education. Together, these two things were expected to end the tribes&#39; dependence on the American government. Toward that end, the government had built schools on Pawnee land in Nebraska Territory, where most of the tribe lived by the time of the American Civil War. Treaties between the USA and the Pawnees had established that the latter would cede their lands in Nebraska to the government and move to an area the government had designated for them in Indian Territory. The removal had been scheduled for 1876. The industrial school in Nebraska Territory operated by the government for the Pawnees closed in September 1875, since holding classes would be impractical during the move.</p><br>
<p>For various bureaucratic reasons, the planned boarding schools could not be ready as soon as the tribe arrived at their destination. However, it was possible to open two day schools in February 1876. These could provide only an elementary level of education. Government policy makers held that a hierarchical system would produce satisfactory results. Day schools would introduce children to the English language and basic primary education. Those children who made satisfactory progress would move on to boarding schools, Boarding schools would continue the primary subjects, add more advanced topics and focus half of each day on "industrial education." Off-reservation schools offered more advanced education and industrial training.</p><br>
<p>Although planning for the boarding school was well advanced in February 1876, construction funding had not been approved. An 1857 treaty had appropriated ten thousand dollars a year to operate two industrial education (manual labor) schools. The Pawnees had expected to use the unexpended portion of the money to construct the new school. The governments Indian Office held that the funds were only to support existing schools, not to build new ones. By the summer of 1877, the Indian Office finally agreed that not using the funds to build the new school meant that the Pawnees would have no school, therefore abrogating the treaty. The construction contract was awarded shortly after. The new school building and girls dormitory were completed in May, 1878. However, other delays ensued. A cistern dug near the school leaked all its water. Later, it was determined that the cement used in its construction was still "green" (uncured) when water first filled the cistern. This was repaired, but purchasing school supplies was delayed in the Fall by bureaucratic delays getting the required approvals. School finally opened on November 11, 1878.</p><br>
<p>McClure documents complaints and problems that cropped up after the school opened. One was overcrowding. Agents regularly requested funding for a second school, as promised in the 1857 treaty. No such action was ever taken. In 1884, the Agent reported that the water supply had always been inadequate; water of poor quality had to be hauled from a source a half mile away. Official visitors found 39 girls sharing 13 beds in 1889. The sewage system was inadequate as late as 1900. Despite the lack of a satisfactory sewer system, there was a new building program during the 1890s that resulted in the construction of a commissary and carpenters shop (1891) and the Boys Dormitory (1892).</p><br>
<p>The original Boys&#39; Dormitory was destroyed by a fire in 1904. There were no deaths or injuries, but the monetary loss was estimated at 25 to 30 thousand dollars. The school sent some of the youngest boys back home and housed the remainder in other buildings. The administration also concerned itself about fire safety measures in other buildings. The burned building was replaced in 1909.</p><br>
<p>The boarding school finally closed in 1958. The Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) took possession of all the school&#39;s buildings.</p><br>
<p>In 2011, the Oklahoma Historical Society&#39;s Historic Preservation Office awarded its Citation of Merit for the rehabilitation of three buildings of the former boarding school. The buildings were: the former staff quarters, the dining hall and Pawnee Indian Clinic. All three now serve the new Pawnee Nation College. Recipients of the award were the Pawnee Business Council, Barrett L. Williamson Architects, and Builders Unlimited.</p><br>
<h3>Pawnee Agency Organization</h3><br>
<p>When the Pawnees came to Indian Territory, the Pawnee Agency reported directly to the Indian Office. By 1883, the Pawnee Agency was consolidated with the Otoe and Ponca agencies, and relocated to the community of Whiteeagle. The Tonkawa Agency was united with the other three agencies in 1886. A single agent oversaw the activities of the consolidated agency, and only a clerk was left at the Pawnee reservation to handle day-to-day administration there.</p><br>
<p>The Indian Office transferred all the administrative duties for the Pawnee tribe to the Pawnee School Superintendent. Previously, the Pawnee Agent was also responsible for the Oakland, Otoe and Ponca tribes. These duties were removed in 1902, leaving the school superintendent of the school and Pawnee tribe administration. In 1920, the Indian Office returned the Ponca and Otoe tribes to the responsibility of the Pawnee Agency, and added the Tonkawas as well. In 1927, the Pawnee agent was made responsible for dealings with the Pawnees, Poncas, Kaws, Otoe-Missourias and Tonkawas. The organization remained stable until the Pawnee Agency was made part of the Western Oklahoma Consolidated Agency at Anadarko in 1947. In 1950, the government established an Area Field Office at Anadarko, leaving a field agent in the Pawnee community.</p><br>
<h2>NRHP listing</h2><br>
<p>The Pawnee Agency and Boarding School District was added to the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) on December 28, 2000, with registration number 00001577. The Pawnee Indian Agency and Superintendent&#39;s house, also within the District, were listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) in 1973, under Criteria A and C. The period of significance is defined by the District NRHP application as 1876 to 1950. There are a total of 20 additional buildings/structures that are "contributing", and nine "non-contributing" buildings/structures in the District. "Non-contributing" structures are either modern or have obscure histories.</p><br>
<h2>Contributing buildings</h2><br>
<h3>Pawnee Agency Office</h3><br>
<p>The Pawnee Agency Office is a one-story building that was constructed about 1906. The NRHP application says that: "The 1876 Annual Report of the Commissioner of Indian Affairs mentions only one stone building and it seems more likely that this describes the Superintendent&#39;s Residence, as it refers to a combination office and dwelling." The building was being used for tribal offices and storage at the time of the NRHP Application.</p><br>
<p>The main part of the building is a hall and parlor, covered with quarry-faced, coursed, ashlar sandstone blocks, and has a full porch, with simple supports and a balustrade made of pipe. The back of the building has a gable- roofed, stone extension at the northwest corner, added in 1928. A small concrete vault with a hip roof was added in 1914, and a wood frame extension was added to the northeast corner at an unknown date.</p><br>
<p>McGuire quoted the Superintendent&#39;s report as saying,"...a fine stone building containing a room each for the superintendent, clerk, financial clerk and stenographer, and a waiting room for the Indians." In 1914, a two-room addition was built, along with a vault and a toilet. In 1916, a cellar and a hot water heating system were added to the building.</p><br>
<p>The work load had increased, increasing the needs for more staff and records storage space. The Agency requested funding for a replacement building, but it was never built. By 1973, the Agency moved its operations to a building in downtown Pawnee, and the USA Public Health Service had leased the former agency office building for use as a pharmacy. By 2000, the Pawnee tribe was using the building for office space.</p><br>
<h3>Superintendent&#39;s Building</h3><br>
<p>This is the oldest building in the district, having been constructed in 1876. The Superintendent&#39;s Building was unoccupied at the time of the NRHP application, when reported some significant structural damage parts of it. Originally built as an office and residence for the Indian Agent, it became the office and residence for the school superintendent around the turn of the 20th century, giving it its current name. It is a two-story structure, built in Queen Anne style, of cured ashlar sandstone. It has a wrap-around porch supported by wooden columns which rest on stone piers. This is not the original porch, but a replacement constructed in 1916. A porte-cochere was added to the west side of the building sometime after 1916. The building also has a front-facing gable and a side-facing gable There is a kitchen with a shed roof on the south side and a hip-roofed room in the L-shaped space formed by the kitchen and the side-facing gable wing. Both of these additions are roofed with green composition shingles, while the main building has asbestos shingles. Originally, these structures had wood-shingle roofs.</p><br>
<p>According to McClure, this building was rented out as a private residence by 1973, when the building was listed separately on the NRHP. By the time McClure submitted her thesis (May 2000), it was unoccupied. She described its physical condition as "poor" because the many broken windows, though covered with boards, had admitted wind and rain; there were significant cracks in the floor slab and the stem walls; the basement walls were no longer watertight and the porte cochere roof was collapsing from rot.</p><br>
<h3>Pawnee-Ponca Hospital</h3><br>
<p>Construction of the Pawnee-Ponca Hospital was begun in 1929, and the facility opened January 15, 1931. It had a 55-bed hospital and an attached ward for patients who had tuberculosis. An unattached building west of the main building served as the nurses residence. The buildings were three stories high, with two and a half stories being above ground. They were faced with quarry-faced, regularly-coursed, ashlar sandstone. The main building has a hipped roof with a centered, south-facing gable. On either side of the gable is a hipped dormer that reappears on other buildings of the district. The nurses residence and the tubercular ward have pyramidal roofs.</p><br>
<p>The hospital was originally operated by the United States Public Health Service (USPHS) for the tribes that lived in the surrounding area (primarily Pawnees and Poncas). It was later converted to a health clinic operated by the Indian Health Service (IHS). The former nurses&#39; residence is now the clinic administration building.</p><br>
<h3>Home Economics Building ("Old Laundry")</h3><br>
<p>This building, most recently called the Home Economics Building, was originally built in 1909 as a steam-powered laundry and a carpentry shop. The laundry function moved to another building around 1922, and the space it vacated became a store room. According to the NRHP application, one former student remembered the building housed the home economics program in the late 1920s and early 1930s, but another student recalled it was a dormitory about that time. There is documentary evidence that the agency remodeled the building about 1930 to serve as a dormitory.</p><br>
<p>The building is one-story high and made of quarry-faced sandstone. Although there have been numerous structural changes during its history, the NRHP application assesses that it still retains its original integrity, including materials and form. McClure noted that it had electric lighting and stoves for heating.</p><br>
<h3>1932 School Building</h3><br>
<p>This building was constructed in 1932 to consolidate a number of functions that had previously been scattered in other buildings. It was said to have been completed in September 1933, and contained classrooms, offices, an auditorium and a gymnasium. This was the last building constructed on the school campus, and has several features not found on other buildings, including:</p><br>
<p>a T-shaped floor plan, with classrooms and offices in the cross wing and a gymnasium in the column</p><br>
<p>a portico in the center of the cross wing, with three round-arched doorways and, inside the portico, a double-doored entrance framed by a large round-headed arch</p><br>
<p>a date stone above the center of the portico bears the number "1932" and the name "A. R. Snyder", who was the school superintendent at that time</p><br>
<p>decorative arched porticos toward the sides of the front facade, with slightly recessed brick beneath them.</p><br>
<p>The main part of the building has a flat-top and hipped mansard roof which extends over each end of the front (west) facade, forming a gable over the decorative arch in each end of the facade. Each gable contains a fanlight. There is a flat roof over the portico. The gymnasium has a low-pitch gable roof with no overhang. The roofing material is a light colored metal, and there is a parapet above the ridge. Elsewhere, the roof is covered with modern composition shingles.</p><br>
<p>This was the main school building until the boarding school ceased to operate in 1958. The Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) then turned the building over to the city of Pawnee, which made it available for the Good Samaritans, a charitable service organization to turn it into a nursing home. The Samaritans vacated the building in 1972, when the city announced it would return the school property to the Pawnee tribe. The 1932 School Building was renovated in 1976, then leased by the BIA to become the administrative offices for the Pawnee Agency.</p><br>
<h3>Employees&#39; Club</h3><br>
<p>The so-called "Employees&#39; Club" was built in 1927 to replace an older wooden building that housed unmarried employees who lived on campus. It now serves only as a storage facility. The new building has two stories and is built of irregularly-coursed, ashlar, quarry-faced stone. It has a gable facing the front and a wood-frame addition on the rear. It also has nearly full-width front porch with a hipped roof, supported by four simple columns. The main building roof is covered with metal shingles. The roof of the wooden addition has composition shingles. Although the building is reportedly in good structural condition, the porch condition is poor, because of rot in the roof and floor.</p><br>
<h3>Girls&#39; Dormitory</h3><br>
<p>The building now identified as the Girl&#39;s Dormitory was originally completed in 1878. The NRHP application indicates that it has had more extensive repair and renovation than any other building in the District. It was the original building of the boarding school, designed to house both boys and girls and to provide both classroom and office space. This original structure was constructed of stone and covered a footprint measuring 31 feet by 90 feet. A kitchen extension was added in the same year. A two-story frame extension was added to the front, projecting from the west end of the original facade. By 1890, a 20 foot by 50 foot, two-story frame extension was added which projected to the front of the west end of the original facade. This work included adding a veranda that wrapped around the front and east sides of the building. By 1909, then superintendent, George W. Nellis, decided to replace the frame extension with one of stone. The replacement was completed in 1912.</p><br>
<p>The original building design resulted in several structural flaws. In 1928, a visiting Superintendent reported that extensive work was required throughout the building to keep the floors from giving way. This problem was alleviated by adding supports for the sagging joints. At the same time, several partitions on the second floor were removed to better use the space and to facilitate evacuation in case of a fire. The building was remodeled in 1954, making unspecified changes. It was renovated again in 1976, before becoming an office building for the Pawnee tribe.</p><br>
<h3>Bakery Building</h3><br>
<p>The Bakery Building was a one-story, two-room building constructed in 1909 to perform the function of baking in one room and a second room, called the "milk room" for the handling and storage of meat and dairy products. These functions were relocated to the basement of the 1913 Schoolhouse about 1932. The old Bakery Building was converted to employee quarters by the mid-1930s. It was vacated before the turn of the 21st century. This is a quarry-faced Ashlar stone building that has a hipped roof with gabled dormers at the ends of the roofline. The back of the building has a wood frame extension with a gabled roof, which is covered with gray colored composition shingles. The extension is attached to the northwest corner of the stone structure, causing the floor plan to be L-shaped. The extension has kitchen and bathroom plumbing features that indicate it was probably added when the building was converted to a residence.</p><br>
<h3>Employee Quarters and Guest Building</h3><br>
<p>Built in 1927, the Employee Quarters and Guest Building contained two classrooms and an office for the schools principal. After all classes later moved into the 1932 School Building, this structure was remodeled to serve as employees apartments. After the school closed, the building was converted to a fitness center for the Pawnee tribe. This is also a rectangular, quarry-faced, Ashlar stone building that has a hipped roof. A gable placed centrally over the front door (east side) breaks up the horizontal roofline. The original door was much larger than the present modern door, and the original door opening has been filled in to suit the change. The building has been assessed as "one of the most (structurally) sound on the campus."</p><br>
<h3>Laundry</h3><br>
<p>This building was originally constructed in 1909 as a storage area. It is flat-roofed, one story high and contains a single room. The 2000 NRHP application states that a 1916 photograph showed a frame lean-to addition, which was removed sometime afterward. The building is constructed of quarry- faced, irregularly-coursed, rubble masonry, and has a gabled roof facing the front. A door centered on the front side is aligned with a door on the back side. The gable ends are shingled, and it has a front-facing louvered vent. The building was converted to serve as the laundry in 1922, but is now unoccupied. The 2000 NRHP application calls its condition..."the poorest of the buildings of the district." The roof sheathing is partially missing, exposing the rafters to the elements. However, the structure retains its original form, as well as some of the roof sheathing. McClure&#39;s thesis stated that the tribe had discussed demolishing the building instead of renovating it.</p><br>
<h3>1913 Schoolhouse</h3><br>
<p>This two-level building received its name because it was ready to be used just after the start of the academic year in the fall of 1913. The main floor was occupied by two classrooms and an assembly hall. The basement level housed a furnace room, a coal room and a storage room. After classes were relocated to the 1932 School Building, the classrooms in this building were converted to serve as the school dining hall and kitchen. (These functions had previously been housed in the Girls&#39; Dormitory building.) At the same time, the bakery and meat locker were moved into the basement of the 1913 building. There is no indication of whether the furnace and coal storage were left in place after the conversion.</p><br>
<p>The front facade is a symmetrical rectangle around centered double doors, although the symmetry is masked by a modern shed-like roof over a recently added ramp handicapped access ramp. The T-shaped plan has extensions on each side of the stem at different locations. It is covered with a hipped roof.</p><br>
<p>According to the District NRHP application, this building, "...is one of the buildings in the best condition on the campus." The building is now used by the Pawnee tribe to serve meals to senior citizens in their community.</p><br>
<h3>Boys&#39; Dormitory</h3><br>
<p>The existing building identified as the Boys&#39; Dormitory was constructed in 1909, replacing an 1892 building destroyed by fire in 1904. This building is rectangular and two-and-a half stories high. The basement contained the furnace, a sitting room, a large closet, a washroom, and a toilet room. the first floor had rooms for matrons and assistants, an office, and a dormitory room. The second floor was primarily dormitory space. The original part of the building has a hipped roof, with a small gabled dormer at each end of the ridgeline. A hipped dormer, likely for ventilation, is centered low on the roof near the front roofline. The roof is now covered with composition shingles. A wood-frame addition, identified as the "sleeping porch," was built on the rear of the original structure to house additional male students. A small stone annex, built in 1929 and connected to the sleeping porch by a frame passageway, housed the bath and washroom facilities (relocated from the basement).</p><br>
<p>It is unclear when the Boys Dormitory was permanently closed and the male students moved into the Girls Dormitory Building. The Boys Dormitory has remained unoccupied since then. Inspections have revealed serious roof leaks that have caused serious water damage. McGuire added that the building was in poor condition. She cited a report that said, "... the frame addition has suffered major water damage, and...roof and floor structures are rotted beyond repair.&#39;" Her thesis continued by noting that the damaged addition would have to be removed and totally rebuilt. Also, the bathhouse roof would have to be replaced and the interior completely renovated.</p><br>
<h3>Garage (1)</h3><br>
<p>Two garage buildings are located west and slightly south of the Principal&#39;s Residence. Both were apparently built sometime between 1912 and 1935, but there is no documentation of the date. The westernmost garage (Garage 1) is the smaller of the two. It is rectangular, and has one south-facing garage door opening and a gable roof. The building is in poor condition, since it has settled visibly out-of-square; the bottom of the garage door has been pushed into the interior of the building.</p><br>
<h3>Garage (2)</h3><br>
<p>The second garage is the larger of the two and is just east of the former. It is also rectangular. Three garage doors are located on the east-facade. The building has a hipped roof with exposed rafter tails. It is also in poor conditions, because some wood siding on the south side is missing and the garage doors will not close completely because the building has settled. The exterior is quarry-faced, irregularly-coursed, ashlar sandstone blocks.</p><br>
<h3>1909 Principal&#39;s Residence</h3><br>
<p>The Principal&#39;s Residence is the only survivor of three school-related residences that were begun in 1893. It was being used as a private residence at the time the NRHP District Application was being prepared. Little information was included about the building.</p><br>
<h2>Contributing structures</h2><br>
<h3>Culvert</h3><br>
<p>According to McClure, the culvert and stone fill under the roadway where Harrison Street becomes Agency Road, over the ravine of an intermittent gully, separate the Hospital and Pawnee Agency Office Building from the Superintendent&#39;s Residence. The construction date is unknown.</p><br>
<h3>Footbridge</h3><br>
<p>A sandstone footbridge carries a sidewalk across the ravine described above. It has a center arch opening and an iron pipe railing. Construction date is unknown.</p><br>
<h3>Bridge (concrete)</h3><br>
<p>A concrete bridge over a tributary of Black Bear Creek the ravine bridge described above. McClure states that the Oklahoma Stat Preservation Office believes that the bridge was built in the 1930s or 1940s and is a Contributing Resource for the District.</p><br>
<h3>Walls (3)</h3><br>
<p>Three stone walls have been identified as Contributing Structures. One parallels the west side of Agency Road, just south of the ravine culvert described above. The second runs along the inside of the road north of the Boys Dormitory. The third runs north and south along the road east of the Emploees Club Building.</p><br>
<h3>Cellar</h3><br>
<p>A mostly underground cellar is between the Bakery and Girls&#39; Dormitory buildings. The portion visible above ground is the entrance.</p><br>
<h2>Non-contributing buildings and structures</h2><br>
<h3>Corrugated metal buildings (2)</h3><br>
<p>Two corrugated metal buildings (identified as NC1 and NC2) are west of the nurses&#39; home at the Pawnee-Ponca Hospital building. Both are utilitarian structures of relatively recent construction. The Pawnee tribe uses them as supply and maintenance facilities.</p><br>
<h3>Wooden sheds (3)</h3><br>
<p>Three wooden sheds (NC3, NC5 and NC6) are located inside the District boundary. NC3 is between the hospital and the nurses&#39; home. NC5 is adjacent to the rear of the School Building. NC6 is behind the Home Economics Building. The sheds are portable storage units with gambrel-shaped roofs.</p><br>
<h3>Memorial</h3><br>
<p>A memorial to the Pawnee Scouts, erected in 1986, is a three-sided metal pyramid, painted tan, and placed on a two-tiered concrete pad. The bronze plaque on the monument discusses the role of the Pawnee Scouts in the history of the Pawnees and the Indian Wars, and the removal of the tribe to Indian Territory.</p><br>
<p>St. Francis Xavier College Church is a Catholic church in the Midtown neighborhood of St. Louis, Missouri, United States. The church was built by the Society of Jesus in 1836: the current building dates from 1884. It serves as a parish church in the Archdiocese of St. Louis and for the Saint Louis University community. It is a contributing property in the Midtown Historic District on the National Register of Historic Places and it is listed as a City Landmark in St. Louis.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The parish was established in 1836 when St. Louis Bishop Joseph Rosati, C.M. permitted the Jesuits to establish a parish at their college. It was St. Louis first English-speaking parish. The congregation initially met in the colleges student chapel, which was dedicated to St. Aloysius Gonzaga. The chapel was located on Washington Avenue between Ninth and Tenth Streets. As the parish grew, plans for its own building were begun. The cornerstone for the first church was laid on April 12, 1840, by Bishop Rosati. It was located at the intersection of Ninth Street and Christy (Lucas) Avenue. While from its beginning the church was dedicated to St. Francis Xavier it has always been popularly called the College Church.</p><br>
<p>Saint Louis University moved to its present location on Grand Boulevard in 1867. Archbishop Peter Richard Kenrick gave permission in 1879 for the College Church to move to the new campus. Plans for the current church were drawn up by St. Louis architect Thomas Walsh. He had previously designed DuBourg Hall, which served as the only university building for several years. Excavation for the new church began on June 8, 1884, and the cornerstone was laid by Coadjutor Archbishop Patrick J. Ryan. He was assisted by Bishops William H. Gross, C.Ss.R. of Savannah and Joseph Dwenger, C.Pp.S. of Fort Wayne. By the end of the year, the lower church was completed and a roof built over it. It served the parish as its church until the upper church was completed.</p><br>
<p>The upper church was built as finances allowed. The original architect, Walsh, died before it could be built. Henry C. Bronsgeest, S.J., the parish pastor, hired Chicago architect Henry Switzer to complete the church. Bronsgeest had the upper church modeled after St. Colman&#39;s Cathedral in Cobh, Ireland. The church was completed in 1898, with the exception of the spire on top of the tower. It was completed in 1914 and bells were placed in the tower at the same time. The windows were created by Emil Frei Jr., and they were installed from 1929 to 1938. George and Anna Backer provided the funding for the windows.</p><br>
<p>The church was listed as a City Landmark in St. Louis in 1976. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places as a contributing property in the Midtown Historic District in 1978. A major renovation of the church was completed in 1990.</p><br>
<p>The E. H. Darby Lustron House  is a historic residence in Florence, Alabama. The house was built in 1949 by Elton H. Darby, one of the co-owners of Southern Sash, the Lustron house dealer in The Shoals. It is one of five remaining Lustron houses in the Shoals area and one of three in Florence. The prefabricated house has a side-gable roof covered with metal shingles. One corner of the house is recessed to form an entry porch. The house is clad in square porcelain enamel panels painted grey. The house is Lustron&#39;s two-bedroom Westchester Deluxe model, which features a shallow bay window in the living room. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000.</p><br>
<p>The East Broad Street Historic District encompasses a city block of historic commercial buildings in Texarkana, Arkansas. The district includes all of the buildings on the 100 block of East Broad Street. Most of the fifteen buildings in the district were built before 1920, during Texarkanas major period of growth after the arrival of the railroad. Broad Street, just one block from the railroad, quickly became its economic center. The oldest building is the ODwyer and Ahern Building at 110 East Broad Street, a three-story brick-faced building constructed c. 1886.</p><br>
<p>The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2008.</p><br>
<p>The Claude Fouke House was a historic house at 501 Pecan Street in Texarkana, Arkansas. It was a two-story brick structure with a hip roof, set on a raised corner lot. It was one of the city&#39;s most elaborate Classical Revival structures, with a monumental temple front supported by pairs of fluted Ionic columns rising to the full height of the facade. The roof had an elaborate modillioned cornice, with a small triangular pediment containing a half-round window. The interior of the house contained equally impressive woodwork. The house was built in 1903 by Claude Fouke, the son of railroad baron George Fouke.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
<p>After 28 months of neglect by the owner, Beech Street First Baptist Church, the structure was demolished and the debris removed in March 2022. It was delisted in September 2022.</p><br>
<p>The Augustus M. Garrison House is a historic house located in Texarkana, Arkansas.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Built in 1895, the -story, wood-frame house is notable as one of the city&#39;s finest turn-of-the-century Queen Anne style houses. It features the irregular massing, typical of the style, with a single-story wraparound porch with delicate spindled woodwork, and a three-story circular tower topped by a conical roof. The house was built by Augustus M. Garrison, a lawyer, and remained in his family into the 21st century.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on March 25, 1982. It currently functions as part of the House of Wadley Bed and Breakfast Inn.</p><br>
