<p>The Knik Site,  also known as the Old Knik Townsite, is the location in Matanuska-Susitna Borough, Alaska that was once home to the largest settlement on Cook Inlet. The only surviving remnants of the community are a former log roadhouse, now a museum operated by the Wasilla-Knik Historical Society, and a log cabin. The Knik area had long been a meeting point of Native Alaskans, and in 1898 it became the principal community on Cook Inlet from which goods were shipped into the interior. In 1916 the Alaska Railroad reached the site of present-day Anchorage, bypassing Knik and leading to Anchorage&#39;s growth. When the railroad reached Wasilla, Knik lost all importance as a transshipment point, and its buildings were either abandoned or moved to one of the other communities. Knik is located about 13 mi southwest of Wasilla.</p><br>
<p>The two surviving buildings were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.</p><br>
<p>The Strathglass Building is a historic commercial building at 25 Hartford Street in the central business district of Rumford, Maine. Built c.1906, it is an imposing four-story architect-designed Beaux-Arts building, constructed by Hugh J. Chisholm, Rumford&#39;s leading industrialist in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Later known as the Hotel Harris, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The building was designed by the architectural firm of Stone, Carpenter & Willson, based in Providence, Rhode Island, and was completed in 1906. It was built for Hugh J. Chisholm, the industrialist responsible for Rumfords development in the late 19th century as a major paper processing center, by Frank Bunker Gilbreth. (Gilbreth built a second building in the small mill town as part of the same contract for the Rumford Falls Power Company.) Chisholm named the building after the river in Scotland which flows near his familys traditional seat. Chisholm also gave the Strathglass name to the Strathglass Park District, an area of high-quality mill worker housing in Rumford.</p><br>
<p>The Strathglass Building stands on a slightly non-rectangular lot bounded on three sides by Congress, Lowell, and Hartford Streets. It is now a four-story brick structure, with the bays of the first three floors separated by engaged limestone fluted columns. The main entrance is set under a three-story arch supported by square stone piers, and topped by a triangular pediment at the third floor. When originally built, the building only had three stories, and had a concrete balustrade with urns at the visible roofline. this was removed in 1931, when the building was rebuilt after a devastating fire. The interior was gutted, and all that survived intact was the heavy masonry structure. The rebuilding (as the Hotel Harris) was supervised by Lewiston architects Coombs & Harriman. These additions, including the new fourth floor and flamboyant lobby, were Italian Renaissance Revival in style, though later alterations have removed most external detail. The lobby remains.</p><br>
<p>The Bigelow-Page House is a historic house at 20 High Street in Skowhegan, Maine, United States. Built in 1846–47 and substantially altered in the early 20th century, this expansive two-story wood-frame structure is a bold statement of Greek Revival architecture, and is an early work by a notable local master builder of the period, Joseph Bigelow. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The main block of the Bigelow-Page House is a roughly square two-story wood-frame structure, with a hip roof and two interior brick chimneys. A series of ells extend to the rear, connecting the main house to a gable-roofed barn with cupola. The main block has a single-story hip-roof porch wrapping around two sides, supported by paneled square posts. The corners of the main block are decorated by pilasters, and a broad entablature encircles the house below the roof line. The first ell is a fairly large two-story structure with Italianate features. The interior of house is stylistically diverse, reflecting the architectural trends also visible in the exterior. Original Greek Revival features are joined by an Italianate arched fireplace mantel, and a Colonial Revival bay window.</p><br>
<p>This house was built in 1846–47 by Joseph Bigelow for his own family. Bigelow (1804–83) had by then already acquired a reputation in the area for is high quality craftsmanship, having built a church in Bloomfield and the Symphony House in Bangor. He is also credited with building one of Skowhegan&#39;s other fine Greek Revival houses, the Gov. Abner Coburn House. Bigelow exchanged houses with lumberman Samuel Robinson in 1853, and the house was acquired in 1893 by Edward Page, whose family is responsible for the later Colonial Revival alterations.</p><br>

<p>Sturtevant Hall is a historic academic building on the campus of Hebron Academy in Hebron, Maine. Built in 1891, this Romanesque and Colonial Revival brick building is an elegant design of Maine architect, John Calvin Stevens. It is one of the main focal points of the school&#39;s modern campus, and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1977.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The hall is a large 2-1/2 story red brick structure, with a hip roof and resting on a raised cut stone foundation. The building is visually dominated by a four-story tower, which has an open belfry topped by a pyramidal roof. The main entry is in the base of the tower, with a triple window above, and a Palladian window in the third level. The halls shape is basically rectangular, with pairs of chimneys at each end, and gabled dormers in each roof section. As designed by Stevens, the buildings interior included an assembly hall, a library, seven classrooms, a science lab, and music and art studios.</p><br>
<p>Hebron Academy was established in 1804, and is one of the oldest University-preparatory schools in the country. By the 1880s its existing facilities were recognized as inadequate, and the school began fundraising for a building campaign. Its single largest donor was Benjamin Sturtevant, for whom this hall and Sturtevant House (built 1900) are named. Stevens, a prolific and influential architect based in Portland, designed this hall and three other buildings now standing on the academy&#39;s campus.</p><br>
<p>The Wolleson–Nicewander Building, also known as the Triton Insurance Company Building, was built in 1900, and is within the Perry Courthouse Square Historic District in Perry, Oklahoma. Its builder, T. E. Wollenson, was a sailor and merchant who had immigrated from Denmark, and settled in Perry. Wollenson bought a lot on the north side of what is now called Courthouse Square. He then built a two-story building, that soon housed the Nicewander Clothing store. Later occupants included a dry goods store, a tire and auto supply store, and an insurance company headquarters.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The building was first occupied by T. E. Wollenson. According to Waymarking.com&#39;s description of this building, Wollenson opened his Boston Dry Goods Store on the lower floor, and operated it there until 1910. Mr. Nicewander later had a clothing store there, followed by N. C. Chapman who had a dry goods store, and then by P. Scobill who had a tire and auto supply store. In the 1960s the building became the headquarters of the Triton Insurance Group. The company redecorated the outside and inside of the building, including adding a huge map of the state of Oklahoma, still visible on its east side (photo below) The Triton Insurance Group left Perry in 1974. and</p><br>

<p>and included several naval motifs on the building (photos below). It is two stories, constructed of red brick and sandstone, in a Richardsonian Romanesque style. Four elongated vertical windows provide ventilation to the second floor rooms. Black-painted wrought iron railings provide some protection to the windows. A large double door with a horseshoe "rosette" on its top provide access to the building,</p><br>
<p>Originally, the facade of the first floor resembled that of the second floor, except that it was covered with a more modernistic light concrete veneer over the original red brick and sandstone. The second story retains the Romanesque arches and decorated lintels, which are supported by colonnettes. Each colonnette has a lion&#39;s head, reminiscent of the carved figureheads which adorned the prows of old seagoing vessels.</p><br>
<p>At the time of the NRHP inventory, the ground floor was divided into two large rooms, which were occupied by the Elwell Auto Supply store. The upper floor is divided into several rooms, which the Triton Life Insurance Company used as offices. They have been vacant since Triton moved out in 1974.</p><br>
<p>A large map of Oklahoma decorates the building&#39;s outer wall. The map shows the various stages of the history of Oklahoma and it was painted, together with other paintings that decorate the interior, by Adriano Ceciloni and Charles Wysocki.</p><br>

<p>The Sunday River Bridge, also known locally as the Artists Bridge, is a historic covered bridge in Newry, Maine. It is located northeast of the Sunday River Ski Resort, adjacent to the crossing of the Sunday River by Sunday River Road, which the bridge formerly carried. Built in 1872, it is one of Maine&#39;s few surviving 19th-century covered bridges. The bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1970.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Sunday River Bridge is a Paddleford truss bridge spanning the Sunday River in western Newry, Maine, a small town in western Oxford County. It is 100 ft long and 20 ft wide, with a total height of 22 ft, and rests on cut granite abutments. Its internal clearance is 14 ft in height and 17 ft in width. The trusses consist of a series of crossed braces between King posts. The bridge has an extended gable roof clad in wood shingles. The sides are finished in vertical boarding for about half their height, and the ends are boarded from the gable down to the tops of the portals.</p><br>
<p>The first bridge on the site, funded by the town (as were all subsequent bridges), was built in 1811. That bridge was washed away in spring flooding in 1869, and a replacement built in 1871 collapsed that same fall. This bridge was built in 1872, with careful attention to its structural stability. A major spring flooding event in 1927 washed out many bridges in the region, but this bridge was spared because the floodwaters bypassed its foundations. The bridge was bypassed by a realignment of Sunday River Road in 1955, and is now open to pedestrian traffic.</p><br>
<p>The Burgess House is a historic house on Burgess Road, just east of Austin Road in Sebec, Maine, United States. The oldest portion of this wood-frame house dates to about 1816, and was built by Ichabod Young, who erected the first fulling mill in Piscataquis County. The house is most remarkable for its high-quality interior woodwork, and for the artwork on the walls of several of its rooms, which includes paintings by Rufus Porter and stencilwork by Moses Eaton, Jr., two noted itinerant artists of the early-to-mid 19th century. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Burgess Houses is a typical New England wood-frame connected homestead, consisting of a main block and two ells, which in this instance connect the main house to a modern one-car garage rather than the more typical barn or carriage house. The main block is a -story Cape style structure, five bays in width, with a large central chimney. Its centered entry is flanked by sidelight windows and topped by a louvered transom. The flanking bays contain sash windows with louvered shutters. The first ell, also stories, is three bays long, also with a central chimney and a centered entrance, and is narrower than the main block is wide. The second ell is also three bays wide, but the bays are narrower, and all have windows. All three sections have their primary facade facing north.</p><br>
<p>The interior of the house includes woodwork that exhibits attention to detail, most notably in the paneling on the first floor. The highlight of the interior is the well-preserved artwork found throughout the main block, which includes paintings by the itinerant artist Rufus Porter, and stencilwork by Moses Eaton, Jr. Both of these artists are among the few documented to do such work in the early-to-mid 19th century, and probably executed this work c. 1820.</p><br>
<p>Ichabod Young came to the area in 1816, and built a fulling mill on the north side of the Sebec River that same year. He probably built the main block of this house that same year, on the south side of the river. The ells were added c. 1830 and c. 1850. The house was owned in the late 19th century by Thomas Burgess.</p><br>
<p>Mary Elizabeth Hospital, located on the corner of Wake Forest Road and Glascock Street in Raleigh, North Carolina, was designed by Dr. Harold Glascock and built in 1920. The building still exists on the corner and is known as a Raleigh Historic Landmark, listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>Dr. Glascock and Dr. A.R. Tucker originally opened the hospital in 1914 on the corner of Peace and Halifax before moving to the Wake Forest & Glascock location, built and opened in 1920. The hospital continued to operate until 1978.</p><br>
<p>According to the USA National Register of Historic Places, "The building faces west set back off of Wake Forest Road with a landscaped front lawn and mature trees. The two-story, brick, hospital is a modified-"H"-type plan, a plan that was made popular by government funded hospitals and often adapted for community hospitals in the early part of the twentieth century. The Mary Elizabeth Hospital was built in the Colonial Revival style, but it has some Craftsman features, such as the exposed rafter tails, wide eaves, and hipped roof, which are echoed by the many Craftsman bungalows in the surrounding residential neighborhood. A large parking lot shared with the adjacent Medical Arts Building, accessible off Glascock Street and Lafayette Road, sits at the rear of the hospital building."</p><br>
<p>The hospital functioned as a successful medical center in Raleigh for many years until its closure in 1978. It has been credited by former Mary Elizabeth Hospital doctors as the site of a number of "firsts" that happened there. The first blood transfusion in North Carolina was given at Mary Elizabeth Hospital, the first pathological frozen section was handled there, the first doses of penicillin in Wake County were given there, the area&#39;s first modern obstetrical unit was started at the hospital, and Mary Elizabeth Hospital had the first radium treatments in Raleigh.</p><br>
<p>In the mid-to-late 1960s, the doctors realized that Mary Elizabeth Hospital was no longer the modern facility that it had once been. New and sophisticated technologies and medical advances demanded a larger building with better equipment and much more space. The doctors of Mary Elizabeth Hospital decided that it was necessary to build a new hospital on a new site that would accommodate future expansion.</p><br>
<p>The hospital was sold in 1970 to Charter Medical of Macon, Georgia, and a year later, the wheels were set in motion to build a hospital that would accommodate 150 patient beds. Legal battles with Rex and WakeMed Hospitals, which tried to block Mary Elizabeth Hospital&#39;s expansion plans, delayed the construction of the new hospital for six years. Charter Medical was unable to afford the delays, and after five years, Mary Elizabeth Hospital was sold to the Hospital Corporation of America. Finally, the new hospital was built farther up on Wake Forest Road in 1978. On June 10, 1978, the doors to the new hospital were officially opened, and Mary Elizabeth Hospital was officially closed.</p><br>
<p>The new hospital was named Raleigh Community Hospital to reflect the past and future community roles of the hospital. Many of the doctors and staff members made the transition to Raleigh Community Hospital, which became Duke Raleigh Hospital in 1998.</p><br>
<p>When the hospital closed its doors in 1978, the United Way of Raleigh took up residence, using the old building as its local headquarters. The hospital building transitioned from a medical facility to office space, but as one of the remaining small community hospitals in Raleigh and the surrounding area that served the medical needs of area citizens, Mary Elizabeth Hospital continues to be a community and historical landmark.</p><br>

<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Grange hall is a large rectangular clapboarded wood-frame structure with a central hip-roofed block flanked by shed-roofed additions. The main block is five bays wide, with a centered entrance; the left addition has a single window on the first floor, while the right addition has a second entry and window on the first floor, and another window on the second. The interior of the first floor consists of a large open space, with a raised platform at one end, and a storage area behind. At the east end of the building is another storage area, and stairs leading to the second floor, which is similar to the first, except there is no raised platform, and the storage area is larger.</p><br>
<p>The main block of the building was constructed in 1899 by Frank W. Bragg, a local resident who set up a spruce gum manufacturing operation on the premises. This business declined with the advent of new forms of chewing gum, so Bragg sold the building to the local Grange organization in 1911. The Grange converted the lower floor into a social and meeting venue, and it was used by the community for social events (dances and parties) as well as town meetings. This use continued until the Grange chapter dissolved in the 1970s, and the building was sold into private hands.</p><br>
<p>As of September 2024, the building is barely visible from Route 26, and is in a dilapidated state</p><br>

<p>The Women&#39;s University Club of Seattle  is a social club for women located at 1105 Sixth Avenue in Seattle, Washington.</p><br>
<p>Founded in 1914 by Edith Backus, the club was a hub for college-educated women. It started with 276 members.</p><br>
<p>The club&#39;s building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on July 10, 2009.</p><br>
<h2>Early history</h2><br>
<p>Founded in 1914 by Edith Backus, the Womens University Club of Seattle was part of the womens club movement in the United States.</p><br>
<p>The women&#39;s club movement started in the 1860s in New York City, and Boston, and spread across the United States. These clubs provided an outlet for educated, mostly white, women to engage in their communities, and engage in educational, political, and professional pursuits.</p><br>
<p>Starting with 276 members, the club originally started at a one-story building at 1250 Fifth Avenue, next to the men-exclusive College Club.</p><br>
<p>In 1920, both clubs were evicted from their original buildings, and their building razed to make room for what is currently the Olympic Hotel.</p><br>
<p>WUC members worked with two prominent local architects for their new building, Abraham H. Albertson and Édouard Frère Champney. Both Albertson and Champaneys had been connected with the club prior to new building, as Albertsons wife, Clare, was a member, and Albertson had designed the original building. Champneys mother was a longtime club member. The University Club building is the only time Albertson and Champney collaborated.</p><br>
<p>When the second building was completed, the club members braided the rugs, embroidered the napkins and linens in the dining room, and hand crafted many of the projects in the club.</p><br>
<p>Bertha Knight Landes, Mayor of Seattle from 1926 to 1928, was the first woman mayor of any major USA city, and was a charter member of the club.</p><br>
<h2>World War I and II</h2><br>
<p>During the World War I and World War II, women&#39;s clubs were heavily involved in volunteering and war efforts, including working directly with the Red Cross.</p><br>
<p>Dr. Mabel Seagrave, an early member of the club, traveled to France during World War I, and was in charge of an entirely women-staffed hospital, which cared for 10,000 patients. In 1917, members organize a Red Cross Auxiliary, and 12 members serve overseas with the American Red Cross.</p><br>
<p>The Great Depression in the United States took a toll on membership, and the club struggled financially. In 1932, a second membership category was added to the club, allowing women without all of the normal education requirements to participate in the club.</p><br>
<p>In March 1939, first lady Eleanor Roosevelt addressed the club at their 25th anniversary dinner.</p><br>
<p>During World War II, the club made a half-million bandages for the red cross. 24 members served overseas in support of the war effort, while others participated in volunteering efforts. In 1943, the club&#39;s House and Garden Group created a cookbook, and the first printing generated enough funds for three clubmobiles for servicemen in Alaska.</p><br>
<h2>Post World War II to present</h2><br>
<p>In 1951, membership reached over 1,100, leading to the WUC board to consider expansion. By 1954, the club purchased an adjacent lot, and gained another stream of revenue from the parking lot. Five years later, the club votes to remain in the city and expand on the original building, rather than leave Seattle entirely.</p><br>
<p>In 1961, the entire building is remodeled, and expansion begins in the parking lot purchased in 1951. The expansion includes a new kitchen and dining room, with parking below. As the University Club building changed, so did the focus of some of the programming at the club. Womens rights became the focus of programming in 1971, including womens legal rights and the sexual revolution.</p><br>
<p>By 1989, the club relaxes the more formal aspects of club rules, and drops the title of Miss and Mrs. for members, and instead uses first and last names only. By 1991, the club hosts 65 classes for members, with over 1,000 members in the club.</p><br>
<p>For its centennial celebration of its historic clubhouse in 2014, the club released a booklet detailing the history of the WUC itself, and released a on their website of major events in the club&#39;s history.</p><br>

<p>The Walter and Eva Burgess Farm was a historic farm at 257 Shaw Road in the rural southwestern part of Dover-Foxcroft, Maine known as Macomber Corner. The main farmstead, including a house and barn, were built in 1914 after the 19th-century farmstead was destroyed by fire. The property represented a virtually intact and well-preserved early 20th-century farmstead of rural Maine, and was stylistically distinctive because not very much new farm construction took place at that time in the state. The farm was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1997. It was removed from the National Register in 2015.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Burgess farm began in 1834, with the purchase of 100 acre by William Burgess, who erected a log cabin on the property before eventually building a frame house. He transferred his property, a successful operation which included a small dairy herd and a flock of sheep, to his son John O. Burgess in stages between 1860 and 1877. Almost the entire farm complex was destroyed by fire on December 23, 1913, by which time the operation of the farm had been taken over by John&#39;s son Walter and his wife Eva. An ell was built onto a surviving blacksmithy to provide temporary living space for the family while a new house and barn were built.</p><br>
<p>Both the house and barn built by the Burgesses included recent innovations not found in many farms in rural Maine, because agriculture was generally in decline. The barn was a large structure with a gambrel roof, a western innovation that improved hay storage capacity, and the larger number of milking stations indicated that the farm was shifting to an increased emphasis in dairy production. The house was a two-story frame foursquare structure, with a hip roof. A single-story hip-roofed porch, supported by Tuscan columns, spanned the front and wraps around to one side. The interior retained original varnished woodwork. An ell joined the house to the barn. The entire complex was engulfed by an accidental fire, probably started by sparks in the barn, and destroyed in July 2013.</p><br>
<p>The Sherman and Merlene Bates House is a historic house at the southeast corner of Dawson and Echo Streets in Hardy, Arkansas. It is a single story wood-frame house finished in sandstone veneer, with a gable roof. The main facade has a projecting front gable section, which has a picture window on the left and the main entrance on the right. A period garage, finished with the same stone, stands behind the house.</p><br>
<p>The house was built in 1947 for Sherman Bates, owner of a local bulk fuel oil facility, and is a high-quality local example of a post-World War II stone house.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002. An earlier house built for Bates in Hardy is also listed, as the Sherman Bates House.</p><br>
