<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Waterman Covered Bridge was located in rural southern Johnson, carrying Waterman Road, a secondary road, across Waterman Creek. It was a two-span structure, with a main span that was a queen post truss, and a secondary span of post-and-beam construction. It rested on abutments of stone and concrete, with a timber bent supporting the inner ends of the two spans. The main span was 74 ft long, and the secondary span 16 ft, giving the structure a total length of 90 ft. It was 19 ft wide, with a roadway width of 16 ft, carrying one lane of traffic. The exterior was clad in vertical board siding, which extended around to the insides of the portals. On the sides, the siding ends short of the roof, leaving an open strip. The deck consisted of wooden planking laid over steel I-beams.</p><br>
<p>The bridge was built in 1868 by a George S. Mills, and was one of three surviving 19th-century covered bridges in the town.

<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The JLC&E Railroad was chartered in 1897 by businessmen from Jonesboro, Arkansas in neighboring Craighead County to take advantage of the virgin timber of the "sunken lands" of the north eastern part of the state. The first train arrived in Manila on December 2, 1900, and the town would usually see four trains a day until 1938.</p><br>
<p>This station was built in 1910, and is a well-preserved example of a wood-frame board-and-batten station of the period. The following year, the railroad came under the ownership of prominent Mississippi County plantation owner Robert E. Lee Wilson. Though the depot was primarily utilized to serve the timber industry area, as Manila was also the fish processing center for that part of Arkansas, it was not uncommon for 40 tons of fish and other aquatic cargo to be shipped out of the depot on a daily basis.</p><br>
<p>The depot was formally closed on December 30, 1977. It is now owned by the city.</p><br>
<p>The depot was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1997.</p><br>

<p>NAN Ranch, also known as Y Bar NAN Ranch, is a ranch in Faywood, New Mexico, that was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1988. The property was developed as a ranch beginning in the late-1860s by John Brockman, who grew corn, alfalfa, and several types of fruit and bred cattle. Cattleman John T. McElroy purchased the ranch in 1927 and hired Trost & Trost to renovate and expand the ranch compound to become the NAN Ranch headquarters. The project included a new house, extensive landscaping, swimming pool, a slaughterhouse, powerhouse, and other residential and ranch buildings. It is historically significant due to its architecture and its role as a major 19th century ranch.</p><br>
<h2>Geography</h2><br>
<p>NAN Ranch is located along the Mimbres River,</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The property, developed in the late-1860s by John Brockman represents 19th century agricultural enterprise and New Mexican architecture in the Mimbres Valley. He patented his homestead claim in 1881. Archaeologist Adolph Bandelier called the homestead a "plazita" following his visit in 1883. Considered a "model ranch" in the Silver City Enterprise, Brockman produced corn, alfalfa, cherries, peaches, pears, grapes, and apples. He was the only supplier of hay to Fort Bayard and Fort Cummings. The Clifton Clarion said in 1886 that he had the best all-purpose ranches in the state of New Mexico. Besides his agricultural pursuits, Brockman bred black and Shorthorn cattle.</p><br>
<p>Brockman sold, what was considered "one of the three principal places on the Mimbres", in 1901 to the NAN Ranch and Cattle Company, which owned property just north of Brockmans land in Gallinas Canyon. NAN Ranch, which began developing its ranch in the 1880s, then moved its headquarters to the Brockman homestead. John T. McElroy, a cattleman from El Paso, Texas, bought the ranch in 1927. The El Paso-based architectural firm Trost & Trost was hired by McElroy and his wife to complete a US $300,000 ($ today) project to renovate and expand the complex to include a new house, swimming pool, large courtyard and landscaping. The house alone cost $100,000 ($ today). The following year sixteen additional residential and ranch buildings were constructed, including a power plant and slaughter house. It became "the best country place" built in New Mexico in the 1920s according to Baker Morrow, the landscape architect who consulted for the New Mexico Historic Preservation Division. In 1945 the ranch, that was then 100,000 acres, was sold. In 1988, when it was registered as a historic place, it was owned by W. B. Hinton. By that time the servants quarters building was used for archaeological teams from Texas A&M University who excavated the propertys NAN Ranch Ruin. Archaeologist Harry J. Shafer at the university began working on the excavation of the ruins after having been contacted by Margaret Hinton, who him told of the ruins found on the ranch and the connection to the nearby Swarts Ruin of the Mimbres culture.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register as part of a 1988 study of historic resources in the Mimbres Valley of Grant County.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>

<p>The Marked Tree Lock and Siphons are a flood control facility on the St. Francis River in Poinsett County, Arkansas. These facilities are located about 2 mi north of Marked Tree. Built in 1926, the lock is located on a now disused and partially filled artificial channel west of the main river. It has a concrete trough about 130 ft long and 30 ft high, with a small brick control house from which four gates are operated to regulate water flow through the lock. The lock gates have been removed and that area filled in and topped by a roadway. The siphons are located on a levee that impounds the main river channel several hundred feet upstream from the lock, and consist of a series large metal tubes, whose ends are mounted in submerged concrete structures above and below the levee. The siphons were built in 1939 to solve the problem of water flow regulation in the wake of repeated major flooding events on the river, and are described by the United States Army Corps of Engineers as unique in the nation for their scope and efficiency.</p><br>
<p>The lock and siphons were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.</p><br>

A shed-roof addition extends to the main block&#39;s east side. The roadhouse was built c. 1904, during the construction by the United States Army of the Trans-Alaska Military Road between Valdez and Eagle. This roadhouse was strategically located at a place where that road diverged from the old Eagle Trail, used by miners to reach the gold rush fields of the Yukon River. The original 1904 structure is used for storage; the present roadhouse facilities are provided by later  structures.</p><br>
<p>The roadhouse was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1977.</p><br>
<p>The McLaughlin House and Garden are a historic house museum and associated specimen garden at 97 Main Street in South Paris, Maine. The property includes a traditional New England connected farmstead with house, ell, and barn, all of which date to the mid-19th century, and a landscaped garden area developed beginning in the 1930s by Bernard McLaughlin that now houses more than 500 varieties of flowers. It is one of a small number of such specimen gardens in the state, and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000. The property is now owned by a local nonprofit organization, and is open to the public free of charge between May and October.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The McLaughlin House is a -story wood-frame structure, three bays wide, which is set close to busy Main Street in South Paris. The main entrance is in the center bay, flanked by sidelight windows and topped by a fanlight, with a sheltering hood supported by heavy Italianate brackets. The bay to the left of the entry has a projecting polygonal bay. A two-story wing is recessed from the main block, and joins the house via a connecting ell to a period barn. The wing and ell have an enclosed porch extending along the south facade. The interior of the main block has woodwork that is transitional Greek Revival/Italianate in style.</p><br>
<p>The house is believed to have been built c. 1851 by John Holmes, who purchased the land in that year, and sold it at a markedly higher price the following year. It remained in the hands of members of the Holmes and Bicknell families until 1890, when it was acquired by Frederick Tribou. Tribou&#39;s daughter Rena married Bernard McLaughlin in 1936, and the couple lived there until their deaths (hers in 1986, his in 1995). The Tribous and McLaughlins did not farm the land, instead selling most of it off over time for development. Bernard McLaughlin was an amateur horticulturalist, and he used tracts of the former agricultural lands of the property to build a landscaped specimen garden over a period of six decades. A 1994 survey of the property identified more than 500 different species of plants, predominantly irises and lilacs, although other annual and perennial flowers and woodland plants are also represented in the collection. Although McLaughlin was an amateur, this collection has come to have some importance in Maine as one of only three such gardens statewide.</p><br>
<p>Although McLaughlin&#39;s will stipulated that the property be sold off, local preservationists banded together to preserve the property. The property is open to the public free of charge between May and October; guided tours are available for a fee, and its facilities are available for rental.</p><br>
<p>The Atauloma Girls School is a historic parochial school building in Afao village on the island of Tutuila in American Samoa, United States. The London Missionary Society opened it in 1900 as the second secondary school on Tutuila , and the first to admit girls. For most of its history it prepared girls primarily to be pastors&#39; wives, and after 1913 provided graduates to the nursing school at the naval station at Pago Pago. Its establishment saved Tutuila girls the necessity of travel to Upolu for secondary school, which separated them from their families and exposed them to the dangers of the international port at Apia. Atauloma was abandoned by 1970.</p><br>
<p>The school was listed on the United States National Register of Historic Places in 1972. It was featured on the television program Ghost Hunters International in its third-season episode "Ghoul&#39;s School" in 2012.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The origins of the Atauloma Girls School trace back to Reverend E.V. Cooper, a missionary who spearheaded the construction of the school in 1902. Cooper, who had worked in New Guinea, succumbed to malaria during the building phase, and his burial site lies near the school plantation alongside several graves of children who perished in the influenza epidemic of 1918. The school was envisioned as the younger counterpart to the London Missionary Society Boarding School at Papa Uta, located in Apia, Western Samoa. Established in 1892, Papa Uta served as a model institution, and many of its students, alongside their principal Elizabeth Moore, were transferred to the Atauloma Girls School following its completion. Building work began in 1900 above the village of Afao. The structure itself was notable for its colonial architectural style, with coral cement foundations and walls, some measuring up to 20 inches thick. This effort was financed primarily by American Samoans under USA Navy administration, marking a period of collaboration between church, government, and the local community. The curriculum combined Western subjects—English, Arithmetic, Geography, Writing, and Scripture—with traditional Samoan values and practical skills. Students engaged in plantation work once a week, learning about nutrition and food preparation, while subjects like sewing, embroidery, and crafts aimed to nurture cultural pride and service to their communities. Environmental consciousness and respect for natural resources were central to the school’s teachings.</p><br>
<p>The historic Sisters High School  was built in 1939 as a public secondary school for the community of Sisters in central Oregon. It was constructed using United States Federal Government funds provided through the Public Works Administration. The old Sisters High School was listed on National Register of Historic Places in 2006. Today, the facility has been converted into an administration building for the local school district.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The old Sisters High School is located in Sisters, a small community in Deschutes County, Oregon. The high school building has been an important landmark in the community since the 1930s. It replaced a school house built in 1912 that was used for all classes from first grade through high school.</p><br>
<p>The Sisters School District purchased property for the high school in 1938. The land was bought from the Oregon and Western Colonization Company, which owned unused right-of-way along USA Route 20. The 2 acre lot acquired for the high school is a triangular parcel of land on the southeast side of Sisters. It is bordered by Locust Street on the east and Cascade Avenue on the north with Route 20 running diagonally along the southwest side of the property.</p><br>
<p>The high school was built in 1939 as a Public Works Administration project, one of many public schools funded by the United States Federal Government during the Great Depression. It was financed with a Public Works Administration grant of $8,550 along with $14,000 in bonds issued by the Sisters School District. The high school&#39;s architectural style is colonial revival, a common design type for public schools constructed during the 1930s. The building was designed by John E. Isted, an architect from Bend, Oregon. The construction contract was won by O. C. Hart of Redmond, Oregon with a bid of $22,138. Hart began work on the building in late December 1938. The structure was completed in May 1939. It was furnished over the summer so it was ready to host classes in September 1939. The high school was officially opened on 6 September 1939 with 20 students enrolled.</p><br>
<p>The high school served the Sisters community until the 1960s, when the local tax base could no longer support an independent high school. In 1969, the Sisters School District closed the high school. Its 65 students were transferred to Redmond High School, approximately 20 mi away. In 1973, a proposed bond measure to finance a new high school was defeated by voters, leaving approximately 60 high school students from Sisters to attend school in Redmond.</p><br>
<p>After several decades of growth, the town of Sisters was able to financially support its own high school again. However, the old high school building was inadequate for the community&#39;s educational needs. As a result, the school district built a new high school which opened in 1992. In 2003, a newer high school was built and the facility built in 1992 was converting into a junior high school. The newest Sisters High School is located on the west side of town.</p><br>
<p>In 2005, the historic high school underwent a major renovation. The local school board financed the project by selling excess school district property. The renovation included preservation of wood paneling, school lockers, and drinking fountains as well as restoration of window frames and other exterior features. The project also converted the building into an administration office for the Sisters School District, keeping the historic character of the building while giving it a new economically viable purpose.</p><br>
<p>The renovation project was very successful in restoring and modernizing the structure of the building while maintaining its original character. Because of the building&#39;s importance to the Sisters community and its association with the Public Works Administration and the New Deal, the old Sisters High School was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2006.</p><br>
<h2>Structure</h2><br>
<p>The exterior is a traditional colonial revival style façade. The building is one story high with a partial basement for utilities and storage. It has a rectangular footprint measuring 94 ft east–west and 56 ft north–south. The perimeter foundation is made of steel reinforced concrete. The structural walls are a steel-reinforced wooden frame with a textured red brick veneer exterior. This combination makes the structure extremely solid.</p><br>
<p>The original pediment entrance was in the center of the south side of the building. However, that entrance was closed and covered with brick facing during the 2005 renovation. Also during that 2005 makeover a new main entrance was created in the center of the north façade where the external basement entrance was originally located. The new main entrance is a colonial revival style pediment portico with a clapboard covered gable end. It was carefully designed to be compatible with the historic character of the building.</p><br>
<h2>Interior</h2><br>
<p>Inside the school, the interior rooms are set along both sides of a main hallway that runs the length of the building. The main corridor connects the double-door entrances on the east and west sides of the building. It is 8 ft wide and lined with steel lockers on both sides of the hallway. There is also a multi-faucet drinking fountain located in the main hallway. The corridor has knotty pine paneling on the lower portion of the walls, framing the banks of lockers and classroom doors. Above the paneling, the walls are painted plaster. The main entrance joins the main hallway in the center of the building.</p><br>
<p>Originally, there were four classrooms, two on each side of the main corridor. Each classroom had two separate doors connecting to the main hallway. During the 2005 renovation, two of the classrooms were restored to their original configuration. Both of the classrooms are 29 x long wide. The other two classrooms were divided up into individual work rooms and offices. All of the classrooms and offices have large windows designed to let in a maximum level of natural light. There are restrooms located off the main corridor at the northeast and northwest corners of the building. Each restroom has a pair of eight-over-eight double-hung windows. These windows are on the east and west sides of the building.</p><br>
<p>There are three offices that open onto the hallway across from the new main entrance. This is where the original entrance and foyer was located. The stairwell to the basement is also located in this area, just off the main hallway. The basement is much smaller than the first floor. It is a 41 x space running perpendicular to the main hallway on the floor above. There are three small rooms off a basement hallway. One room is a vault; another is for electrical and mechanical equipment; and the third is for general storage. The rest of the space below the main floor is crawl space.</p><br>

The house was built in 1935 by the Works Progress Administration as part of the Matanuska Valley Colony, and is one of its best-preserved survivors. The first owners, Leonard and Ellie Herried, lived there 1935–38.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991.</p><br>
<p>The Mechanic Institute is a historic educational building at 44-56 Congress Street in downtown Rumford, Maine. This handsome four-story brick building was built in 1910 by the Rumford Falls Power Company to provide educational facilities for its workers and their children. It is now owned by the city, and the former educational facilities have been repurposed into a community center. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Mechanic Institute is a large four-story brick structure located at the southeast corner of Congress and Exchange Streets in central Rumford, Maine. The main facade faces Congress Street, and has four plate glass storefronts with recessed entrances, and a centered entry to the upper levels. The entrance is shaped to resemble stone blocks, with a similar segmented arch above. The main feature of this facade is a recessed colonnade of six Doric columns rising two stories to an entablature and cornice, which above the central storefronts. The end bays have an array of tall windows, separated by pilasters and topped by an entablature on the second level, and four bays of sash windows (now mostly bricked in) at the third level, all of which is framed by two-story brick pilasters and topped by a lintel-like painted projecting with keystone outlines. The fourth level of the outer bays has four sash window spaces, now filled in, while the space above the colonnade in the central bays has a recessed cornice line with brackets.</p><br>
<p>The building was built in 1910 by the Rumford Power Falls Company, whose notably paternalistic attitude toward its workers included construction of high-quality housing at Strathglass Park. The purpose of the building was to provide a social and educational venue for its mill workers, with stores at the ground level, and educational and meeting spaces above. The building was designed by the Portland firm of Miller & Mayo, and built by L. E. Bradstreet of Hallowell. It is now owned by the city, which operates a community center in the upper levels.</p><br>
<p>The Glen Carbon Grade School is a historic school building located at 124 School Street in Glen Carbon, Illinois. The two-story brick school has a Romanesque-influenced design planned by John William Kennedy. The school was built in 1914 to replace Glen Carbons one-room schoolhouse, which its student population had outgrown. A four-room frame building supplemented both the old and new schools, so Glen Carbon had eight classrooms in total with its new school. Grades one through four were taught in the new building, while the upper grades used the frame building. The school was part of the Edwardsville school district, and students who wished to attend high school did so in Edwardsville. Glen Carbon was a European immigrant community, and its students reflected the villages wide variety of ethnic groups. The parents of the village, who mainly worked as coal miners, often volunteered for school events. When a new school opened in 1954, the village purchased the building for office space; it now houses the Glen Carbon Historical Museum.</p><br>
<p>The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on August 25, 2014.</p><br>
<p>The South Dakota Dept. of Transportation Bridge No. 30-257-400 is a historic bridge in rural Hand County, South Dakota.

<p>The bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.</p><br>
<p>The International Vinegar Museum is located at 500 Main Street in Roslyn, South Dakota, United States. The museum is located in the former Roslyn Auditorium, a Depression-era brick building built in 1936 with funding from the Works Progress Administration. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2001.</p><br>
<h2>Museum</h2><br>
<p>In the 1990s, the community began searching for something to draw visitors in. Concerned citizens formed the Community Advancement for Roslyn and Eden. They decided the feature needed to be something unique from anything else in the area. Lawrence Diggs, a resident who had lived in the town since 1989, had extensive knowledge of vinegar and a small collection from his time researching the substance at San Francisco State University. The decision was then made to turn this collection into a museum.</p><br>
<p>The International Vinegar Museum opened on June 4, 1999. Roslyn also hosts an annual Vinegar Festival in late June, which elects an honorary "royal quart" and a "vinegar queen". The museum is open only from Thursday to Saturday each summer, defined as early June to Labor Day.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Built in 1936 by the Works Progress Administration (WPA), the Roslyn Auditorium became a center of social life in a developing small, rural community. Roslyn is a small settlement in rural northeast South Dakota, founded in the path of the Soo Line Railroad, and its main industry is agriculture. Until the Great Depression, federal funds could not be obtained for local community projects; when this program was introduced, communities across South Dakota flocked to receive federal aid for these developments. Roslyn had suffered due to the depression as well as the Dust Bowl. Their main community hub, the Roslyn Opera House, had been destroyed in a fire in 1923 and left Roslyn with no permanent social center. The auditorium was constructed to fulfill that purpose. It has acted as a multipurpose building across the decades and has seen use as a gymnasium, performance hall, social club, and a senior citizens&#39; center before becoming the International Vinegar Museum. Local clubs such as the Sons and Daughters of Norway and the Modern Woodmen of America have held their meetings there. Roslyn High School used the building as its gym and auditorium from the 1960s through the 1980s. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on February 9, 2001, deemed significant for its local notability and as a product of the WPA.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The building is a one-story rectangular red-brick building with hardwood floors and sits on the corner of Main Street and Bjornsoa Avenue. Its simple, utilitarian vernacular style is reflective of the WPA&#39;s typical architectural style. Its main entrance opens to the west, onto Main Street, and projects out from the rest of the front façade. Long, vertical windows sit on either side of the front door. Six pilasters line the building: one at each corner and two bordering the front entrance projection. A decorative dark-red brick frieze runs around the building, just under its parapet. Several of its windows have been boarded up. An addition to the rear wall was built in 1987. It is a simple wooden structure with a gable roof, providing back access to the building. The interior has been largely unchanged since its construction; a drop ceiling was added to improve lighting for the museum.</p><br>
<p>The Waddel Mansion is a historic house at 605 West 5th Street in Webster, South Dakota. Built in 1920 by William Waddel, a local lawyer, it was then, and still is, the largest house in the small community. The house has a symmetrical main block, with matching recessed wings on either side. The roof has Craftsman style deep eaves supported by large curving brackets, a detail repeated on dormers and projecting sections. The house was converted into apartments in the 1960s, but care was taken to preserve much of the interior woodwork.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1994.</p><br>
<p>The Coplin Plantation Schoolhouse is a historic school building in Coplin Plantation, Maine, a rural community in Franklin County. It is the only school building known to have been built by the community, and probably predates its formal establishment in 1866. It served as a school until 1943, and is now owned and cared for by the local historical society. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1997.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The schoolhouse is a single-story wood-frame structure, resting on a granite foundation, with a steeply pitched gable roof. A gabled vestibule area extends to the east, and there is a shed-roof outhouse addition to the rear. The building is located on the north side of Maine State Route 16, about 4.5 mi southwest of its junction with Route 27 in Stratton.</p><br>
<p>The interior is finished with wainscoting and pressed metal walls and ceilings, with a cornice featuring egg-and-dart patterning. The only known substantial changes since the 19th century are the alteration to the fenestration sometime before its closure in 1943. The foundation was rebuilt in 1996.</p><br>
<p>The construction date of the building is unknown, in part because the early history of Coplin Plantation is poorly documented. Bloomfield Plantation, encompassing this area, was organized in 1841, and Coplin Plantation was established in 1866, at which time this building appears to have been standing. A local history asserts without evidence that it was built in the 1820s, but architectural evidence suggests a mid-19th century construction date. It is also possible that extensive renovations funded by the community in 1869 resulted in the construction of a new building; the community has only ever reported the existence of a single school building in its annual reports. The building was used as a school until 1943. The Coplin Plantation Historical Society was formed in 1985, expressly to see to the preservation and care of the building.</p><br>
