The main entrance, centered on the south-facing facade, has a Federal-style pilastered surround, with sidelight windows and a transom window. Its windows have simple molded architrave trim. The most distinctive architectural feature of the building is the second-floor ceiling, which consists of plaster and lath fixed to 2x4 members which are themselves attached to a network of massive hewn 4x4 and 10x10 timber elements. The ceiling is thus not supported at all by the walls.</p><br>
<p>The town of Brownville has its origins in the early 19th-century purchase of a large tract of land by Massachusetts native Moses Brown, who in 1815 sent his son Francis to build a lumber mill and develop the area. Over the course of twelve years Francis built this house, bringing in hardware from Boston, foundation stones from quarries on the Maine coast, and clay for the chimney bricks from Charleston, some 30 mi away. When finished it was by far the grandest house in the town.</p><br>

It was built as a shared facility to provide fire coverage for the city and campus, and to provide space for the first academic degree program for firefighters in the United States.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Growing out of initiatives by fire insurance companies to improve fire protection and cut insurance losses, Oklahoma was active in the firefighter professionalization movement as early as the 1894 formation of the Oklahoma Territorial Firemans Association. Lectures on firefighting techniques at the associations annual conventions grew into a Fire School hosted at the Oklahoma Agricultural and Mechanical College (OAMC), now the Oklahoma State University–Stillwater campus. OAMC created the Department of Firemanship Training in 1937, the first degree program for firefighters in the nation. A desire to expand training facilities, as well as the citys growth, led to the construction of a joint city fire station and fire training laboratory. The OAMC firemanship departments class of 1940, the first in the new facility, received certificates in a two-year program. Graduates have received a bachelor&#39;s degree since 1970.</p><br>
<h2>Building</h2><br>
<p>Construction of the Campus Fire Station was started in 1938 and finished in 1939, funded jointly by the college, the city, and the federal Public Works Administration. It was designed by OAMC architect Philip A. Wilbur, and is located on the campus at Knoblock Street and College (now University) Avenue.</p><br>
<p>The fire station has a core brick rectangular building, 77 x 82 feet and three stories high, two wings, and a five-story drill tower topped by a steeple. It is in Georgian or Colonial revival architecture style like many other buildings on the campus. The building was designed as an active fire station, and as such contains four bays and large garage doors on the lower floor with classrooms on the upper floors. The outside of the building retains much of its historic character. The interior has been updated over the years to accommodate new technologies and training requirements.</p><br>
<p>The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2004 for its significance as the site of pioneering educational initiatives that contributed to the professionalization of the American fire departments, earning it the name "the West Point of the Fire Service."</p><br>

<p>In January 2017, Sandra Cowart, an interior designer and former owner of the home, was featured on an episode of A&E&#39;s Hoarders. Cowart, who lived there since 1975, was an expert on the home and its architecture. She kept the home in pristine condition until her husband left her in 1979, after she refused to sell the home and have it demolished. For many years, she rented out rooms in the mansion, and gave frequent tours. Her family stated that after 2005, she rarely let anyone inside. She became a compulsive collector, and ultimately lost her business, forcing her to partake in several refinancing schemes that ultimately led to the home being foreclosed. The new owners were understanding, and allowed her to sell and dispose of her things. When asked how she felt about being forced to move, Cowart said she is "lucky" to have called Hillside home for 40 years, and hoped the new owners enjoyed it.</p><br>
<p>Eric and Michael Fuko-Rizzo purchased Hillside in September, 2016, in a foreclosure sale. After the house was cleared of Cowart&#39;s possessions in late 2016, the Fuko-Rizzos refurbished the interior and grounds over 2017 with the assistance of Preservation Greensboro, landscape architect Chip Callaway and the University of North Carolina at Greensboro Department of Interior Architecture, among others. After the house was remodeled, the Fuko-Rizzos invited interior designers to turn the house into a gallery of contemporary interior design. The kitchen and most of the house was fully remodeled. The "designer showcase" was open from April 7, 2018, through April 29, after which the Fuko-Rizzo family occupied the house.</p><br>
<p>The Greensboro Zoning Commission denied the Fuko-Rizzos&#39; request for a special permit in May 2019. On November 14, 2019, a judge reversed the ruling, allowing Hillside to become a bed and breakfast provided certain conditions are met.</p><br>

<p>The Soldiers Memorial Library is the public library of Hiram, Maine. It is located at 85 Main Street in the center of the small town, in a small concrete-block building erected in 1915–16. It is architecturally significant as one only two library buildings in the state built using ornamental concrete blocks, and was for this reason listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2008.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The library building was designed by Boston architects Robert Wambolt and Amos A. Lawrence, and is set on a small grassy lot with several small memorials to the community&#39;s soldiers in front. It is a small single-story structure, with a hip roof and a projecting hip-roof entry facing north. The walls are fashioned out of concrete blocks that are rusticated on the outside, except for corner quoins, basement courses, and a single belt-course just below the roof, which are smooth-faced. The entry section has two bays, the left one with the main entrance, which is slightly recessed, and the right one with a grouping of three sash windows. Window trios also appear on the side facades. The roof has typical Craftsman style, with extended eaves and exposed rafter tails.</p><br>
<p>The interior is divided into several small rooms. The circulation desk is immediately right of the entrance, with the main book collection in the southeast corner (later augmented by stacks added to the basement). Much of the remaining space is taken up by reading areas, one of which features a massive cobblestone fireplace. A plastered section of the chimney above the mantel has bronze plaques affixed, identifying all but one of the town&#39;s military service personnel who served in wars from the American Revolution to the Spanish–American War.</p><br>
<p>Construction of the library was made possible by a gift from Mrs. Virginia Gordon and other local residents, with the stipulation that it be in memory of the town&#39;s war participants. It is not known why or how Robert Wambolt was chosen as the principal architect; this library is his only known work in Maine.</p><br>

<p>Wafco Mills is a historic roller mill complex located in Greensboro, Guilford County, North Carolina. The complex consists of a four-story frame building built in 1893 and expanded in 1941, with two four-story brick buildings built in 1907 and 1912. At the time of its listing the mill retained most of the original machinery. The mill closed as a business in 1972 and was converted to 28 residential condominiums in 1987. The mill is currently managed by the Historic Wafco Mills Condominium Association.</p><br>
<p>This historic property was originally constructed as the home of the milling enterprise North, Watson and Company. The earliest component of the complex is three stories tall, constructed of timber and covered in wood clapboards in 1893. Subsequent phases added in 1907 and 1912 were of brick construction and increasingly elaborate design. The 1912 phase is the most elaborate, featuring segmental arched windows, brick corbels, and a stepped parapet gable.</p><br>
<p>The history of the mill is associated with the Watson family. The mill produced a variety of flour, cornmeal and feeds and operated under the same family management for more than four generations.</p><br>
<p>The complex was abandoned in 1972, leaving its future in doubt until developers proposed converting the buildings to residential use in 1984. Architects preserved charming features and materials including exposed brick walls and structural timbers. They created twenty-eight unique living units that were instantly successful. Wafco Mills is a touchstone to the industrial and commercial development of Greensboro as a well-preserved example of late nineteenth and early twentieth century industrial construction development. Its collection of milling machinery remained largely intact at the time of Greensboro&#39;s most interesting residences.</p><br>

<p>A Winston-Salem company bought the complex for the purpose of converting it into condominiums and a shopping center. Frank Auman and Jim Peeples converted half the space into offices but after they defaulted on a loan, the property went into foreclosure. In September 2012, Self-Help Ventures bid $8 million, and renovation work began in Spring 2013. The section already upgraded had 45 tenants, and the remaining space could have 90 more. In December 2015, the city council approved an incentive grant of $1 million which required Self-Help to invest $85 million by 2018. Plans included offices, artist space and 142 apartments. As of the October 18, 2017 celebration of the complex&#39;s renovation, 92 percent of the first building was occupied, and a second building was almost half full if the third floor was not included. Businesses provided 1260 jobs.</p><br>

The development included a spa and a nail salon, and restaurants and a brewery taproom were planned, as well as a courtyard for events.</p><br>
<p>The Elisha F. Stone House is a historic house at the corner of High and Gothic Streets in South Paris, Maine. Built in 1854, it is one of the finest Gothic Revival houses in Oxford County. The house was designed by Portland-based Henry Rowe, and built for Elisha F. Stone, a local merchant, tailor, and postmaster. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Stone House is set on a rise overlooking both Gothic Street and the busy High Street. It is a -story T-shaped wood-frame structure, with a cross gable roof that has one wing of the T slightly longer than the other. The roof is steeply pitched, and all of the gables are decorated with icicle-shaped vergeboard. A porch, recently rebuilt, faithfully reproduces Gothic style woodwork, extending along the street-facing side of the T, to one of the wings. In the east-facing gable, an original first-floor oriel window has been replaced by a picture window, but it has been given a Gothic window surround matching those of other windows. The interior was extensively damaged by fire in the early 1980s, and has retained little original woodwork.</p><br>
<p>The Gothic Revival form is not commonly seen in rural Maine. Henry Rowe, an Irish immigrant based on Portland, was a specialist in the form, and designed a nearly identical house to this one Yarmouth, and another with similar styling in Portland. This house was built for Elisha Stone, who was a local merchant and tailor, and also served for a time as the local postmaster.</p><br>
