<p>The Sherman Bates House is a historic house at the northeast corner of Echo Lane and United States Route 63 in Hardy, Arkansas. It is a -story fieldstone structure with vernacular Tudor Revival styling. Its prominent features include a fieldstone chimney on the right side of the main facade, and a projecting stone porch on the left. The corners of the chimney and porch are fitted with carefully cut stones. The house was built in 1940 by Sherman Bates, owner of a local bulk fuel oil business. Bates owned the house until he enlisted in World War II; the house&#39;s subsequent owners were also prominent local businessmen.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.</p><br>
<p>The Fred Carter House is a historic house located on School Avenue, north of 4th Street, in Hardy, Arkansas.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>It is a single-story fieldstone structure with a clipped gable roof and an irregular layout. A projecting stone porch also features a clipped-gable roof and provides access to the main entrance, and is flanked by pairs of sash windows. The property also includes a period stone wall and stone garage. The house was built c. 1947 for Fred and Doris Carter, and was the first to be built in this neighborhood, whose land had been tied up in an estate. It is also one of the first stone houses in the community that was built for middle-class working class owners, where earlier stone houses had been built for business owners and the like.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on December 17, 1998.</p><br>
<p>Houston Fire Station No. 7 is a historic fire station located at 2403 Milam Street in Houston, Texas. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on April 17, 1986.

<p>Kennedy Bakery, located at 813 Congress Street in Houston, Texas, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on July 27, 1979. The historic property in downtown Houston faces Market Square and lies within the Main Street Market Square Historic District. It is probably the "oldest Houston building existing on its original site."</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Kennedy Bakery is named for John Kennedy, a baker born in Ireland. He resided in New Jersey and Missouri before immigrating to the Republic of Texas in 1842. He arrived in Houston with no savings, but opened his first bakery in the fall on Franklin Street. He accumulated and developed property at the corner of Congress and Travis streets, though he lost these buildings to a fire in August 1860. He did not hesitate in rebuilding; however, it is only conjecture that the Kennedy Bakery is this 1860 building.</p><br>
<p>Kennedy was already successful leading up to the American Civil War, converting his bakery to steam power, operating as a grocer, and establishing his own grist mill. He had already amassed thousands of acres of land within the Houston region in addition to his urban properties. He owned many slaves and offered material support to the Confederate States of America (CSA). He sold hard tack to the CSA Army and converted one of his buildings into an arsenal. After the war he divested of his rural land at great financial loss.</p><br>
<h2>Building description</h2><br>
<p>In 1979, the NRHP nomination form described the Kennedy Bakery as a two-story brick building with a first floor window of wooden sash broken into 24 light. The lot to its east was bordered by a five-foot alley, while abutting a retail building to the west. The façade had fifteen feet of frontage and its brick was a structural feature. Pilasters flanked the front entry, a single door under a "bracket-supported architrave." The upper windows were double-sashed with nine lights each. The alley led to an interior courtyard.</p><br>
<p>The McKee Street Bridge carries McKee Street across Buffalo Bayou in Houston, Texas. Built in 1932, the three-span reinforced concrete girder bridge connects the Second and Fifth Ward areas, northeast of downtown Houston. The bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on September 3, 2002.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The 290 ft continuous girder bridge is divided into two 85 ft spans and a center 120 ft span. The center span crosses the entire central channel of Buffalo Bayou. The bridge provides 42 ft of vertical clearance. As it is located between two bends in the bayou and crosses it at an angle, the design also allows for 100 ft of horizontal clearance to accommodate the small craft traveling the bayou at the time it was built. The road surface atop the concrete deck is 2.5 in brick on a 1 in sand cushion. The concrete girders are curved in a way that is aesthetically pleasing and reveals the distribution of the bridge&#39;s load on the girders. The bridge was painted aquamarine, purple, and lavender by a local artist in 1985.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Buffalo Bayou was an import trade route between Houston and Galveston Bay as early as 1836. Steamboat service was established in 1837. The area around the future McKee Street had become a major industrial and commercial center by the start of the twentieth century. The new automobile as well as continued growth in train and bayou transportation required more, and better, bridges. The first bridge built at McKee street was a steel truss swing bridge, using a motor to move the bridge out of the way of water traffic.</p><br>
<p>The 1932 bridge was built to replace the 1908 bridge that had been demolished in 1928. A requirement by the War Department for both a minimum vertical and horizontal clearance, coupled with McKee Street meeting the bayou at a 77-degree angle required a new bridge that was unique for its time. The concrete girders, usually designed as any other type of wood or steel beam, were instead shaped to match the calculated bending moment curve, resulting in reduced cost and a longer span. Indeed, the central span was the longest of any concrete girder bridge at the time, and the undulating wave-like shape had also never been used before. The bridge was built between 1931 and 1932 for a contracted price, including removal of the previous bridge, of $122,000.</p><br>
<p>The Pillot Building, located at 1006 Congress Avenue in Downtown Houston, Texas, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on June 13, 1974. However, the structure suffered severe damage in the 1980s and collapsed during reconstruction in 1988. A replica of the original building, incorporating some of the original cast iron columns, sills, and lintels, was completed in 1990. The replica was removed from the National Register of Historic Places in 1994.</p><br>
<p>The building was constructed between 1857 and 1869 by Eugene Pillot (1820-1896), and served a variety of tenants including a dry good merchant and professional offices. It was notable for cast iron front structure.</p><br>
<p>The Star Houston apartments, formerly the Texas Company Building, located at 1111 Rusk Street and 720 Jacinto Street in Houston, Texas, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on April 2, 2003.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The original thirteen story, three-bay building opened in 1915 on the corner of Rusk and San Jacinto Street, as headquarters of the Texas Company. The New York firm of Warren and Wetmore designed the building in the Renaissance Revival style with Beaux-Arts accents. The exterior is faced with brick, terra cotta and Bedford limestone and features vaulted arcades supported by Tuscan columns along its Rusk and San Jacinto Street façades. A distinguishing feature of the building is its vaulted arcade with a balcony. The arcade was designed by the Guastavino tile Company.</p><br>
<h3>Expansion</h3><br>
<p>To accommodate growth, the company expanded the structure three times between 1936 and 1975.</p><br>
<p>In 1936, Warren and Wetmore designed a three bay addition to the east (San Jacinto Street) façade, designed in a slightly less elaborate style.</p><br>
<p>In 1959 an additional a ten-by-eight bay, sixteen story addition designed by Kenneth Franzheim was added to the west elevation of the original building. This extends along Rusk Street to the other side of the block at Fannin Street. This huge addition is similar to the original building but in an Art Moderne style, and also includes a Guastavino designed arcade.</p><br>
<p>The Texas Company became Texaco in 1959 and continued to occupy the building until 1989 when it moved to another facility.</p><br>
<h3>Years of vacancy</h3><br>
<p>The building became vacant in 1989.</p><br>
<p>Since the building became vacant, developers proposed several plans to reuse it, however none were successful. In 2011, a development consortium created a plan for approximately 300 apartments with retail space and parking. They began work in 2013 and have demolished part of the structure but kept the 13-story section, the 1936 annex and the 16-story expansion added in 1958. Eventual plans call for a 38-story tower behind the historic structure.</p><br>
<h3>Restored as residences</h3><br>
<p>The restored building was converted to apartments and re-opened in February 2017 as "The Star", a reference to Texaco&#39;s start-shaped logo. The luxury building holds 286 one- and two-bedroom apartments, ranging from 730 to 1,730 square feet, and 21,000 square feet of street-front retail space.</p><br>
<p>The Paul Building is a high-rise office building located at 1018 Preston Avenue in Houston, Texas. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on April 6, 1979. Completed in 1907, the building has been home to a wide range of businesses and professionals. It housed the United States District Court in 1910, and with its proximity to the county courthouse, it became a popular location for attorneys. Its tenants have also included a newspaper, and the Y.M.C.A. The building changed its name to the Hoffman Building in 1918 and then to the Turnbow Building in 1927. It has been known as the Republic Building since 1923.</p><br>
<p>The building is eight stories tall, built of brown brink with load bearing walls. Terra cotta ornamentation includes several cartouches with a raised "P" representing the original owner, Allen Paul.</p><br>
<p>The Palace Hotel, located at 216 La Branch in Houston, Texas, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on September 13, 2006.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Palace Hotel was constructed in 1903 at 216 LaBranch Street, at the corner of Congress Avenue in Downtown Houston. It is located on a block that was part of the original survey of Houston in 1836. This property was previously owned at different times by two Houston mayors, William Robinson Baker and William J. Hutchins. In 1902, a grocer, William A. Burkett and Kate Burkett acquired the two lots at the northwest corner of LaBranch Street and Congress Avenue, while commissioning the development of a hotel with John Stadtler.</p><br>
<p>The Oriental Textile Mill, located at 2201 Lawrence Street in the Houston Heights neighborhood of Houston, Texas, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on June 22, 1983.</p><br>
<p>The mill is a complex of brick industrial buildings, with a four-story clock tower as its most distinguishing feature. Originally built in 1893 for a mattress manufacturing company, the site has seen several uses, including a textile mill, fiberglass manufacturing, a bakery, and mixed use small businesses and live/work spaces. It was one of the first industrial complexes in Houston Heights, and is the last remaining.</p><br>
<p>The National Biscuit Company Building, located at 15 North Chenevert in Houston, Texas, was built for Nabisco in 1910, and listed on the National Register of Historic Places on February 20, 1998. The structure was converted to apartments and is now known as City View Lofts.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>American snack company Nabisco was founded in 1898 and expanded rapidly during its early years. It built a new production facility in Houston, designed by in-house architect Albert G. Zimmerman. Nabisco operated within the facility until 1949, at which point it moved out and Purse & Co., a wholesale furniture distributor, took over the building.</p><br>
<p>In the 2000s, the building was redeveloped to include over 50 loft-style apartment units. It currently operates as City View Lofts.</p><br>
<p>The S. H. Kress and Co. Building, or simply the Kress Building, is located at 705 Main Street in Houston, Texas. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on October 4, 2002.</p><br>
<p>The eight-story building is covered almost entirely in terra cotta. A 1983 renovation removed the Kress signage and other architectural features of its retail past, but the building retains the character of a 1913 skyscraper, one of several built in downtown Houston at the time. This S. H. Kress & Co. building was one of the largest the company built, and one of the few to incorporate professional offices.</p><br>
<p>The Magnolia Hotel, formerly the Houston Post-Dispatch Building, located at 609 Fannin in Houston, Texas, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on February 14, 2002.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The 22-story skyscraper was built by oil magnate Ross S. Sterling for his newspaper the Houston Post, at the corner of Texas and Fannin streets in 1926. At the time, it was one of the citys tallest skyscrapers. The newspapers printing presses were visible through the windows, and the broadcast antenna for radio station KPR was located on the building&#39;s roof.</p><br>
<p>During the 1960s and 1970s, many details of the facade were removed. The building was restored to its previous appearance on the outside, with a modern interior, by Denver-based architect Guy Thornton. It opened in 2003 as the Magnolia Hotel.</p><br>
<p>The Houston Heights Womans Club was organized in 1900 to support any literary and scientific undertaking; the maintenance of a library; and the promotion of painting, music and other fine arts. When founding members of the Club adopted a Constitution and By-Laws in 1905, they included to "aid and encourage charitable and educational interests of Houston Heights" as an important part of the Clubs purpose.</p><br>
<p>The original group, now known as the Houston Heights Womans Club-Heritage Group, is still strong after 100 years. Generations of these friendly and community-oriented women have contributed to the history of the Heights and greater Houston since 1900, and served in the forefront of Womens issues since. They gather regularly for meetings and potluck luncheons, and enjoy various other activities throughout the year including community service projects, charitable fundraisers, outings, and social events.</p><br>
<p>In 2007 the Houston Heights Woman&#39;s Club-Evening Group was founded.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Houston Heights Woman&#39;s Club (HHWC) is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization established to preserve the historical integrity of the Club and its clubhouse, and provide social and charitable opportunities for its members.</p><br>
<p>The Houston Heights Womans Club was founded in 1900, part of the larger womens club movement across the country. What began as the Houston Heights Literary Club soon outgrew the parlors of its members. In 1912, the Clubhouse at 1846 Harvard became the official home of the Houston Heights Woman&#39;s Club. This Club would become part of the very fabric of the Heights neighborhood. Through volunteerism and social activities, generations of members have kept the legacy of the HHWC alive.</p><br>
<h2>Club Collect</h2><br>
<p>By Mary Stewart, 1904*</p><br>
<p>Keep us O God from pettiness</p><br>
<p>Let us be large in thought, in word and in deed.</p><br>
<p>Let us be done with fault finding</p><br>
<p>And leave off self-seeking.</p><br>
<p>May we put away all pretenses and meet each face</p><br>
<p>To face, without self-pity and without prejudice.</p><br>
<p>May we never be hasty in judgment</p><br>
<p>And always be generous.</p><br>
<p>Let us take time for all things</p><br>
<p>Teach us to put into action our better impulses,</p><br>
<p>Straightforward and unafraid.</p><br>
<p>Grant that we may realize that it is the little things that</p><br>
<p>Create differences,</p><br>
<p>That in the big things of life we are as one.</p><br>
<p>And, may we strive to touch and to know the great,</p><br>
<p>Common woman&#39;s heart of us all,</p><br>
<p>And, O Lord God, let us not forget to be kind.</p><br>
<p>Written in 1904 by Mary Stewart, then a school principal. Mary said of her poem, "It was written as a prayer for the day. I called a Collect For Club Women because I felt that women working together with wide interests for large ends was a new thing under the sun, and that perhaps they had a need for special petition and mediation of their own." Like many womens organizations across the country, we believe so strongly in Marys message that we recite her poem at the start of every meeting.</p><br>
<h2>Membership</h2><br>
<p>The annual fee for being a member of the club is $100 in cash/check or online payment for $103. There is no requirement to be a woman or a member of the Heights community, but the majority of the members are female and live in the Heights community and many events and activities are aimed towards women of the community.</p><br>
<h2>Achievements</h2><br>
<p>The Scanlan Building is a building in Downtown Houston.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The building was first envisioned by Thomas Howe Scanlan, two-time mayor of Houston, to be built on the property he owned at Main and Preston streets. After his death in 1906, his seven daughters built the building as a memorial to him. Approximately 85 feet by 101 feet, the building was among the first in Houston to use a fireproof steel skeleton.</p><br>
<p>The Scanlan Building, located at 405 Main Street in Houston, Texas, is an eleven-story, 76,403sq.ft building completed in 1909. Built on the site of the first official home of the president of the Republic of Texas, it was the first building of its size and type to be designed by a major national architect to be built in Houston, and set the style for future construction in the area. It is the only known office building in Houston which was designed by D.H. Burnham & Company of Chicago. The building was the first to be built higher than ten stories, breaking the limit preferred by Houston developer Jesse H. Jones.</p><br>
<p>D. H. Burham & Company started work on the Scanlan Building just after the Columbian Exhibition of 1893. The steel-frame building was built in the Chicago style, with an L-shaped inner structure, permitting ventilation to the interior of the building. Facial details were restricted to the street sides of the building. Above the ground floor, all floors had an identical plan, with halls with offices on both sides, and one outer executive suite, including an interior office separated from the corridor by a receptionist office.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on May 23, 1980.</p><br>
<h2>Current use</h2><br>
<p>Workspace provider Novel Coworking purchased the Scanlan Building in June 2014 and renovated the building&#39;s interior to provide private offices and co-working space for entrepreneurs and small businesses that need flexible, short-term workspace.</p><br>
<p>As of February 2024, the owners, Level One, a subsidiary of Expansive (a renaming of Novel), defaulted on its loan due in November 2023. The Scanlan Building was scheduled for foreclosure auction in March 2024.</p><br>
<p>The State National Bank Building is a high-rise office building located at 412 Main Street in downtown Houston, Texas. Designed by architect Alfred Charles Finn, the building was built in 1923 in the Spanish colonial style. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on August 11, 1982.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The State National Bank Building was designed by local architect Alfred C. Finn (1883–1964). Lacking formal training, he came to Houston while working as a draftsman for Sanguinet & Staats of Fort Worth. He stayed with the firm&#39;s Houston office for about a year, contributing to the design of two homes in the Courtlandt Place subdivision. He left for private practice in 1913 and remained in Houston. His secured his first commission for a major building as a contractor for Mauran, Russell & Crowell of St. Louis, who hired Finn to supervise the construction of the new seventeen-story Rice Hotel. Finn built at least two other skyscrapers, the Houston Chronicle Building (1913) and the Rusk Building (1916), before his work on the State National Building. It represents the work of an architect of regional importance, and by 1982, represented "one of the few surviving Neo-Classical skyscrapers in the city of Houston."</p><br>
<p>State National Bank originates from the State Bank and Trust Company, chartered by the state of Texas and opened in 1915. Five years later the bank joined the Federal Reserve System, which led to an alienation of its state charter in favor of a national bank charter. The name changed to State National Bank, which engaged American Construction Company to start building a new skyscraper in 1922. Construction costs are estimated at $500,000 and the building was completed in 1923. The building was soon fully leased and remained so until 1946, when State National Bank vacated its namesake building. In 1947, the real estate brokerage of Huster and Wise purchased the State National Bank Buildings and its two flanking properties for $720,000.</p><br>
<p>Marriott has been working converting the building into a Moxy Hotel, with its contractors receiving permits to move forward with the project in March 2021. Houston&#39;s Downtown District estimates that the hotel will be completed sometime during 2022.</p><br>
<h2>Building features</h2><br>
<p>The skyscraper is in the neo-classical mode with Beaux Arts ornamentation. The first three stories are composed of a first and second story separated by a mezzanine, forming the base of the structure. This base is faced in rough-cut granite, features several ornaments, and displays a large engraving of the motto, “Frugality is the mother of all virtues.” A high arch envelopes the main entry, originally fronted by bronze gates, and further embellished with tablets and lighting fixtures made of bronze. The façade for the upper seven stories are arranged bays with double-hung windows, with interspersed ornaments. A marble stairway leads to the basement, the location of the bank&#39;s vaults, conference rooms, and a boiler room. The main lobby is decked in concrete and marble. An aperture in the ceiling provides a partial view of the mezzanine level.</p><br>
<p>After the first sale of the building, the new owners replaced the rough-hewn granite cladding with polished Indiana limestone in 1948. They removed the banking equipment from the lobby to accommodate a broader range of retail business, while closing off the mezzanine. They also added a metal portico to support a canopy. During the 1960s and 1970s, the building suffered from neglect like many other buildings in downtown Houston. However, starting in 1981 leading up to the property&#39;s NRHP-listing in 1983, a new ownership group began restoration of the State National Bank Building. All tenants vacated the building, while workers removed the limestone cladding and endeavored a comprehensive restoration.</p><br>
<p>The City National Bank Building, located at 1001 McKinney Avenue in Houston, Texas, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on April 3, 2000.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The firm of Alfred C. Finn designed the building for City National Bank in 1947. City National Bank was the name of the Houston bank which descended from Guaranty Trust Company, the original bank founded by James Anderson Elkins, Sr. in 1924.</p><br>
<p>When the building first opened, the bank leased the retail frontage to Corrigans Jewelry, while the bank occupied the rest of the ground space, but with ceilings raised to a third floor elevation. The bank also let 19 floors of the upper floors as office space. The top two floors are reserved for the buildings infrastructure. The McKinney Street side of the building takes the whole block running from Main Street to Fannin Street, running 250 feet along that side. Instead of a rectangular profile, the top floors form the smallest tier, and each tier grows broader until the building&#39;s base, which occupies the whole lot. The Main Street side of the building has a narrow profile. The building also featured modern infrastructure, including eight high-speed elevators, and a kind of modular flooring which hid the conduits.</p><br>
<p>The City National Bank Building leased almost all of its space by the time it had opened. Among it tenants were well-known national companies such as Braniff, DuPont, Humble Oil (later known as Exxon), Monsanto, and Phillips Petroleum. A local radio station, KPRC, transmitted from the 23rd floor.</p><br>
<p>City National Bank operated out of the ground floor lobby for about a decade.</p><br>
<p>A parking garage was added in 1999, which is attached to the original building via a skyway at the 6th floor. The building has direct access to the Houston underground pedestrian system.</p><br>
<p>The Morton Brothers Grocery, located at 401 West Ninth in Houston, Texas, is a historic building located in the Houston Heights neighborhood.</p><br>
<p>Built in 1929, it was a neighborhood grocery store run by Curtis Ira Morton (born 22 Jan 1866 in Tippecanoe, Indiana, USA) and his brother, William J. Morton until 1949. During a break-in and robbery, Curtis Morton was mortally wounded and died in 1949. His three daughters, Sue Morton Jenkins, Catherine Morton, and Bonnie Morton Gillis, survived him. His wife, Zora Price Chissom Morton predeceased him.</p><br>
<p>It is a one-story brick veneer commercial building, one of the few such remaining in the Heights. Its most recent use has been as a private home. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on January 15, 1988.</p><br>
<p>The Arnold Springs Farmstead is a historic farmstead on Jennings Lane on the northwest edge of Melbourne, Arkansas. The farmhouse on the 5 acre property is a log structure clad in weatherboard whose construction has been dated to the mid-1850s. It was originally built as a dogtrot, which was enclosed in the late 19th century. The exterior of the house has vernacular Greek Revival styling, also applied in the late 19th century. The property also includes a collection of 19th- and early 20th-century agricultural outbuildings, as well as an early stone wall and bridge. Sited near a locally significant fresh-water spring, the site served as a tavern and traveler&#39;s rest stop for many years.</p><br>
<p>The property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2010.</p><br>
<p>The Boswell School, now the Boswell Baptist Church, is a historic school building in rural western Izard County, Arkansas. It is located in the hamlet of Boswell, at the end of County Road 196. It is a single-story fieldstone structure, with a side gable roof and a projecting front-gable entry porch. The school was built in 1934 with funding from the Works Progress Administration, and was used as a local public school until 1950, when the local school district was consolidated with that of Calico Rock. The building was then converted to a church.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.</p><br>
<p>The Sullivan Roadhouse is a restored historic traveler&#39;s accommodation, operated as a museum in Delta Junction, Alaska, United States. The roadhouse was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The roadhouse was originally built in 1907-1908 by John Sullivan and his wife along the banks of Delta Creek, on the path of a winter cutoff of the main trail between Valdez and Fairbanks. Used by the Valdez-Fairbanks Winter Stage Line, frozen stream crossings in the winter months allowed a savings of 35 miles from the main trail, which was used by prospectors and others traveling north to the gold fields. The roadhouse was originally located along Delta Creek near a gravel airstrip (64.02296&deg; latitude, -146.38681&deg; longitude). It was operated by the Sullivans until about 1922, when the Alaska Railway became the dominant means of transport in the region and the Alaska Road Commission (ARC) stopped maintaining the cut-off. The Sullivans died four months apart in 1924, the ARC officially abandoned the cut-off in 1925.</p><br>
<p>The site and the unused buildings were annexed by Fort Greely during World War II, on what became the northwest boundary of the Oklahoma Bombing Range. The roadhouse was at one time a complex of five buildings, including an outhouse, smithy, and barn, but only the main portion of the principal structure survived into the 1990s. All of the buildings were of log construction, but only the main house was roofed with corrugated metal. The others had sod roofs, which gave way over time.</p><br>
<p>The roadhouse was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979 for its role as a winter stop on the stage line and as one of the few remaining log roadhouses from its time.</p><br>
<h2>Preservation</h2><br>
<p>The roadhouse 2 acre area was not easily accessible by the public due to its remote location, lack of a public road, and the possibility of un-exploded ordnance from the nearby bombing range. The Bureau of Land Management, the USA Army, and local historians moved the building into Delta Junction in 1997. The original building was disassembled, and a combination of new and original logs were used to rebuild it in its new location next to the visitors center. The roof and windows were replaced. Now known as the Sullivan Roadhouse Historical Museum, it is owned and operated by Delta Junction Chamber of Commerce.</p><br>
<p>The Whitman Memorial Library is the public library of Woodstock, Maine. It is located at 28 South Main Street  in the village of Bryant Pond, in a small yet architecturally distinctive Colonial Revival building built at the library&#39;s founding in 1910. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1995.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture and history</h2><br>
<p>The library building is a T-shaped wood-frame building, set well back from the street on a grassy lot, with a stone wall (dating to the time of the building) and a memorial to the communitys World War I soldiers. The building rests on a brick foundation, inside which a full concrete basement was later poured, and has a high-pitch hip roof. The buildings main (north-facing) facade is three bays wide, with a central entrance flanked by large single-pane windows. The entrance is sheltered by a gable-roofed portico, supported by slender columns. It has diamond-pane sidelights and transom surrounding a panelled doorway. The interior of the building has retained all of its original woodwork and finish. It is organized in a typical early 20th-century plan, with a central librarian&#39;s desk with a reading room on one side and stacks on the other. A full basement was added in 1957.</p><br>
<p>The library was established by a bequest from longtime local residents Eleanor Bryant Whitman and Alanson M. Whitman, both descendants of early settlers of the area.

<p>The Waterford Historic District encompasses the well-preserved historic town center, also known as Waterford Flat, of the rural inland town of Waterford, Maine. Settled in 1775, the town grew around a site where Kedar Brook empties into Keoka Lake. The oldest surviving building, the Lake House, dates to 1797, while most of the houses were built before 1850. Prominent public buildings include a series designed by John Calvin Stevens, including the Knight Library, Wilkins Community Hall, and First Congregational Church. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The town of Waterford was surveyed and settled in 1775. In 1793 Eli Longley built a log cabin near the mouth of Kedar Brook at Keoka Lake, and four years later built what is now called the Lake House, as a tavern to serve travelers. The town center grew on Langleys land over the following years, based on his layout. The historic district extends along Maine State Routes 35 and 37 southward from the town green, and northward beyond Kedar Brook to the junction of Rice and Waterford Streets, and also extends a short way along Plummer Hill Road and Valley Road. There are 27 historically significant properties in the district, most of which were built before 1850, and are residential. Notable among these is the 1805 Levi Browne House, which was the birthplace of humorist Charles Farrar Browne (1834–67), who wrote under the pen name Artemus Ward. One of the architecturally finer Federal period houses is that of Ambrose Knight, who was a local shop owner. The villages oldest municipal building is the 1843 Greek Revival town house.</p><br>
<p>Between 1850 and 1900 a small number of buildings were added to the district, which are either Italianate of transitional Greek Revival-Italianate in style. Prominent amongst them is the Leander Stone House, built c. 1870 by a local builder for his family, and the 1879 Masonic Hall, also built by Stone. Most of the civic buildings in the district were built before 1930, and are Colonial Revival in style. Three of them were designed by the noted Portland architect John Calvin Stevens, including the First Congregational Church and adjacent Wilkins Community Hall, both dating to 1928. The Knight Library was first built in 1911-12, but was destroyed by fire, and rebuilt in 1938 to a plan by Stevens.</p><br>
<p>The Coger House is a historic house on Main Street in Evening Shade, Arkansas. It is a two-story wood-frame structure, fronted by a two-story flat-roof porch set on a sandstone foundation. The house was built c. 1870 by Polk Jones, but owned for many years by Claude Coger, owner of the Sharp County Record. Originally a somewhat vernacular Greek Revival in its style, later alterations  give the house a more Victorian feel.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
<p>The Ernest Daugherty House is a historic house on Third Street west of Kelly in Hardy, Arkansas.

<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
<p>The John Watson House, also known as the Intervale Farm, is a historic house on Benny Babb Hill Road in Hiram, Maine. Built in 1785 by one of Hiram&#39;s first settlers, it is now the oldest building in the town, and is a well-preserved example of late Georgian architecture. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>John Watson, a veteran of the American Revolutionary War, arrived in the area that is now Hiram in 1778, and established a homestead on the east bank of the Saco River. His first house was washed away by spring flooding in 1785, after which he built the present house on higher ground above the river.</p><br>
<p>The main block of the house Watson built is a large rectangular timber-frame structure, with a large central chimney, hip roof, and a cut granite foundation. The combination of hip roof and central chimney is particularly rare for houses of this period in Maine. The main facade is five bays wide, with a central entrance that has early 19th-century Federal style features, with sidelight windows above recessed panels, and a broad louvered fan above. The main block was extended in the early 20th century with -story Colonial Revival wings on either side, each with four round-arch windows. The wing on the right joins the house to a -story shed and garage, which were probably originally detached from the house.</p><br>
<p>The interior of the main block has retained much of its original material. A narrow and winding staircase leads up the second floor between the entrance vestibule and the chimney, and there are large rooms on either side. The kitchen, with a large open fireplace, is a long room that extends the width of the block behind the chimney. There are four bedrooms on the second floor.</p><br>
<p>The Birch Island House is the centerpiece of a historic sporting camp on Birch Island, located in Holeb Pond in northwestern Somerset County, Maine, United States. Estimated to have been built around 1870, it is a rare surviving element of a 19th-century private camp in the state, when most surviving period camps were commercially run. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1996. As of recent the porch has caved in and the structural integrity is questioned.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Birch Island House is a -story wood-frame structure, with a rubble foundation and a red standing seam metal roof. A two-story porch extends across the front, and the roof in the rear slopes down to the first floor, giving the building a saltbox profile. The porch is supported by square posts with a decoratively sawn balustrade. The house is five bays wide, with doorways in the center bay (the lower one providing the main entrance, the upper one access to the upper balcony) and windows in the flanking bays. Each floor has four rooms, with living, dining, and kitchen space on the first floor and bedrooms on the second and in the half-story above. Original pine board finish has been covered over by plasterboard in many of these rooms.</p><br>
<p>The date of construction of the house is uncertain; mention of it does not appear in either local histories or in period works on Maine&#39;s sporting camps, and its remote location (access today is still not particularly easy) means it escaped wider notice. Tradition ascribes its construction date to 1870, although there is no documentary support for this. The island was documented to be home to the "Birch Island Sporting Camps", run by a private association, by the early decades of the 20th century, and this building appears to have functioned as a central lodge for the other facilities on the island. The camp was apparently abandoned around the 1950s, and was revived in the 1980s when it was acquired by R. David Murphy through the purchase of Birch Island Sporting Camps. R.D. Murphy, formed the Birch Island Sportsman Association, restored the sporting camps on the island and subdivided the island ownership. The Birch Island House ownership remains in trust with the Murphy family today.</p><br>
<p>Teelands Country Store, also known as Hernings Place and Knik Trading Company, is a historic retail establishment located at the corner of East Herning Avenue and North Boundary Street in Wasilla, Alaska. The oldest portion of this wood-frame building is a log structure at the back whose construction dates to 1905. Originally located at Knik, this log structure, then also used as a store, was moved to the newly established town of Wasilla in 1917 by its builder, O. G. Herning. Herning also built the present utilitarian wood-frame structure, which still operates today. The business was purchased by Walter Teeland in 1947, giving it its present name. In 1972 the store was purchased by Jules and Leslie Mead and Neil Gail Bridgewater.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.</p><br>
<p>In 1986 the Meads donated the building to the Wasilla-Knik-Willow Creek Historical Society. The building was moved and over the next ten years it was restored to the original look of the Herning&#39;s Place.</p><br>
<p>1998 Jules and Leslies son Brian Mead and his wife Colene opened Meads Coffee House in the building which had become known as the Herning-Teeland-Mead Building.</p><br>
<p>The Black River Bridge carries USA Route 67  ) across the Black River in Pocahontas, Arkansas. The bridge is a twin span, each carrying two lanes of traffic. The northern bridge was a historic structure, built in 1934 by the Pittsburgh-Des Moines Steel Co., and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places. In 2016 demolition began on the northern bridge, and it was delisted in 2018. This bridge consisted of two Parker trusses, one on either side of a Warren swing span, and trestled approaches, giving it a total length of 1,255 ft. It was one of three surviving swing bridges in the state. The southern bridge is a modern steel girder structure, built in 1986, whose construction rendered the swing section inoperative.</p><br>

<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The West Paris IOOF Lodge hall is a two-story wood frame structure, with a gable roof, clapboard siding, and a foundation that is partly granite and partly brick. A shed-roof addition extends to the rear of the building. The building has vernacular Italianate styling, with paired scroll brackets in the eaves and along the rake and gable edge, and pilasters at the corners. The main facade, facing northwest, has two windows, symmetrically placed on each of the two main levels, and a fifth window in the gable; the latter is topped by a triangular moulding in which a panel contains a plaque inscribed "1876". Between the windows on the first level is the main entrance, a double door sheltered by a hood supported by scrolled brackets. A second, more modest entrance, is sandwiched between the rightmost window and the building corner; this entry provides access to the lodge facilities on the second floor.</p><br>
<p>The first floor interior houses a vestibule area, and then a kitchen, with a large hall serving as a dining area that also has a stage. A stairway area off the vestibule serves to provide access to both the basement and the upper level, which is also accessible via the outside door. The stairs from each lead to a landing, from which a door with a peephole provides access to a vestibule flanked by storage areas. This configuration was arranged to limit entry to the upper level lodge facilities to authorized individuals. This area includes trappings of the IOOF, including portraits of its leaders as well as ceremonial regalia. The lodge auditorium, which takes up most of the floor, has been converted into a museum exhibit space by the historical society.</p><br>
<p>The hall was built c. 1880 by Silas Maxim, a local builder, and is one of West Paris&#39; largest civic buildings. It was originally built to house facilities for both the local chapter of the International Order of Odd Fellows (IOOF), and of the local Masonic chapter. The Masons built their own hall next door to this building in 1893. This building was enlarged in length by about 15 ft in 1889, visible in part by the use of brick for the foundation of the addition. This addition included the stage, and made possible the staging of theatrical and musical events in the hall. The building was sold to the West Paris Historical Society in 1986, which uses the hall as an office space and museum.</p><br>
