<p>The Illinois Department of Mines and Minerals&#39; Springfield Mine Rescue Station is a historic facility located at 609 Princeton Avenue in Springfield, Illinois. Built in 1910–11, it was the first dedicated state-run institution in the United States established to prevent and respond to mining disasters. The station provided critical training in safety procedures and emergency preparedness for both miners and dedicated rescue workers. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on July 5, 1985.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>At the turn of the 20th century, Illinois was a major coal producer, and the rapid expansion of its mining industry brought significant safety risks. The 1909 Cherry Mine disaster, which tragically claimed 259 lives, underscored the urgent need for enhanced mining safety measures. In response, the Illinois government passed legislation authorizing the creation of three mine rescue stations across the state. The Springfield station served Central Illinois, while stations in LaSalle and Benton covered the northern and southern regions. Construction of the stations began in 1910, with the Springfield station completed in January 1911—making it the first dedicated mine rescue station in the country. In 1914, Illinois bolstered its safety efforts by opening additional stations in Herrin, Harrisburg, and Du Quoin.</p><br>
<p>The station served two primary functions: training miners in proper safety protocols and preparing specialized rescue teams for potential mining emergencies. Its facilities included classrooms and a dedicated room for simulating smoke-filled mine conditions, as well as living quarters for rescue personnel. In 1948, a garage was added to house the state’s first mobile rescue unit, significantly improving response times for emergencies. Today, the station remains operational and continues to train miners and rescue workers. It is the northernmost of the four active mine rescue stations in Illinois.</p><br>

Three years after he moved to his house in Springfield, Lewis became president of the United Mine Workers of America. Lewis became a prominent national labor leader in his new role, and he used his position to support union efforts in other industries as well. He founded the Congress of Industrial Organizations in 1935, becoming its first president, and helped lead strikes in the steel and automotive industries. Lewis retired from his presidency of the United Mine Workers in 1960 and died nine years later.</p><br>
<p>The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on September 10, 1979.</p><br>
<p>The Park Heathman Hotel, originally known as the Heathman Hotel, is a residential building in Portland, Oregon, that serves low-income seniors and disabled persons. Owned by Harsch Investment Properties, the building was renamed Park Tower Apartments in the 1980s.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<h3>Heathman era</h3><br>
<p>The Park Heathman Hotel was constructed by George E. Heathman in 1926 at the northeast corner of SW Park Avenue and Salmon Street, a year before he built the New Heathman Hotel one block away at the southwest corner of SW Broadway and Salmon Street. It was called the Heathman Hotel until construction of the New Heathman Hotel.</p><br>
<p>After voters approved construction of both the Burnside Bridge and the Ross Island Bridge, investors of the 1920s sought an expansion of Portland&#39;s commercial district south of Morrison Street in Downtown Portland. The downtown expansion effort coincided with a building frenzy all over town. The area of the South Park Blocks was part of the general direction of new construction, and new buildings included the Park Heathman Hotel, the Roosevelt Hotel (1924), the Congress Hotel expansion (1924, demolished in 1980), the Medical Arts Building (1925), the New Heathman Hotel (1927), the Portland Theater (1928), and the Pacific Building (1928). Over 184 new buildings were constructed in Portland in the 1920s, and 38 were hotels.</p><br>
<p>Heathman, a general contractor responsible for construction of the 112-room Roosevelt Hotel at the southwest corner of Park Avenue (9th Avenue) and Salmon Street in 1924, began construction of the 302-room Heathman Hotel in 1925 with plans provided by architects Claussen and Claussen. The original cost estimate for the Park Heathman Hotel was $700,000. Fully furnished, the hotel was estimated to cost more than $1 million.</p><br>
<p>Radio station KOIN moved into the basement two weeks after the hotel opened, but the station moved to the New Heathman Hotel in 1927.</p><br>
<p>Soon after constructing the hotel, Heathman sold the property to E. V. Hauser, Sr., but he leased the hotel from Hauser and continued to operate it indirectly until his death in 1930. After that, members of the Heathman family operated the hotel.</p><br>
<p>Portland hotel construction stopped in the late-1920s after it was learned that average occupancy was less than 60 percent.</p><br>
<h3>John Haviland ownership</h3><br>
<p>After the death of son Harry Heathman in 1960, Heathman family interest in the hotel was sold to John Haviland. The name was changed from Park Heathman to Park Haviland in 1962. Haviland, after purchasing the Paramount Theater, constructed a sky bridge connecting the Park Haviland Hotel, the Paramount, and the New Heathman Hotel. For a time in the 1970s, he operated both hotels as the Paramount Heathman Hotel, but the older building was marketed more as a home for transients, elderly, and disabled persons, and it retained the name Park Haviland. Building inspectors closed the hotel in 1980 for building and fire code violations.</p><br>
<h3>Schnitzer family ownership</h3><br>
<p>The Schnitzer family purchased the hotel in 1980, and Jordan Schnitzer began a major renovation in 1982 to address code violations and to prepare the building for Section 8 subsidized housing. The name was changed to Park Tower Apartments, and the building reopened in December 1982.</p><br>
<h2>Historical significance</h2><br>
<p>The hotel was one of more than 184 buildings built as part of a construction boom in the 1920s. When built, it was the largest and most elegant hotel in Portland. The building boom emphasized vertical growth and an increase in commercial rather than residential development. By the end of the boom, the downtown area had shifted to the west and was characterized by taller buildings with ground level storefronts.</p><br>
<p>Many of the 1915 to 1931 buildings in the area have been demolished; by 2014, just ten of the 38 hotel buildings constructed during that era remained. Only the nearby New Heathman continued to operate as a hotel; most of the remaining had been repurposed, like the Park Heathman, as affordable housing.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places as the Heathman Hotel in 2014.</p><br>

It currently hosts the Chugach State Park headquarters.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.</p><br>
<p>Kiskiack  is the name of an early 17th-century brick building, originally built as a private residence, which still stands at the Naval Weapons Station Yorktown in York County, Virginia. This brick structure, the oldest building owned by the USA Navy, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It was named for the historic Kiskiack, an Algonquian-speaking tribe of the Powhatan Confederacy, who occupied this area at the time of English colonization.</p><br>
<p>It is one-and-a-half stories, built with a gable roof at a relatively steep pitch of 55 degrees. All four walls were laid in Flemish bond, with English bond below the glazed water table. It has a central passage plan and the entrance facade on the west is symmetrical, with a central doorway. Due to a fire in 1915, much of the interior was destroyed but the house is structurally preserved.</p><br>
<p>The house was built on property acquired in 1641 by English immigrant colonist Dr. Henry Harry Lee, who added to his property in 1650 and 1653. He served as a justice of the court of York County in 1646 and was elected to the House of Burgesses in 1656. He married Marah Adkins Fulgate. (Lees descendants spelled the name of the property as "Kiskiak.") Marahs father was the minister who officiated at the 17th-century marriage of Pocahontas, the Powhatan&#39;s daughter, and English colonist John Rolfe.</p><br>
<p>While not definitive, more current genealogical review suggests that Dr. Henry Lee (1597–1657) (Thomas Leigh3, Thomas2, Humphrey1), and Col. Richard Henry Lee (1618–1664) (John4, Richard3, Johannes2, Humphrey1), were possibly 2nd cousins once removed, with Richards father, John Lee/Lye II, being Dr. Lees 2nd cousin. A close relationship between the two men is indicated from a 1915 article titled "The Lee Family York County, Virginia":</p><br>
<p>Witness William Lee may have been Henry&#39;s brother.</p><br>
<p>It is not known if Lee or one of his descendants built the house; it is in the style of the late 17th century and could have been built by his son or grandson. It is described as "a rare survival of a typical early Virginia country house. The quality of both its design and construction is a testament to the high standards of craftsmanship attained by Virginians during the first century of settlement." The T-shaped chimney stacks were assessed as the most significant architectural feature of the house. A small Lee family cemetery is nearby.</p><br>
<p>The Lee family owned the property until 1918, when it and adjoining lands were acquired by the federal government for the Naval Mine Depot. This installation what ultimately developed as Naval Weapons Station Yorktown and is off-limits to the general public.</p><br>
<p>Years later, Barbara Blunt Brooks of Richmond, Virginia donated one of Dr. Lee&#39;s hand-crafted tables to the Naval Weapons Museum. This table is one of two identical tables known to have been made by Lee; the location of the other is unknown.</p><br>
<p>The house was photographed and measured for the HABS, and numerous photos are available.(See link below). It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and the Virginia Landmarks Register.</p><br>

<p>Built in 1821, DeVault Tavern is a two-story brick building in the federal style in Jonesborough, Tennessee with a lower and upper front porch. The porch is of wood construction and has a small pediment. A two-story ell extends to the rear and some enclosure has been made on the side porch of the ell. The brick is Flemish bond and the house rests on a limestone foundation. The windows are original, as are the shutters. Detail under the eaves and around the porch is hand-carved and gives the appearance of a honeycomb; this detail is found in several early houses in Washington County. A log slave cabin remains in the back yard and the original brick spring house is just across the road from the DeVault Tavern. This structure stands on the Great Stage Road between Abingdon, Virginia, and Knoxville, Tennessee. Andrew Jackson stayed at the tavern, as did General John Hunt Morgan of the Confederate Army on the night before his death.</p><br>
<p>The Sulphur Springs Methodist Campground is a historic religious summer campground near Jonesborough, Tennessee.</p><br>
<p>This one-story open air camp meeting shed with gable on hipped</p><br>
<p>roof is rectangular, measures approximately 72 x 45 feet, and has</p><br>
<p>a nave plan. The structure is supported by hewn and pegged timber</p><br>
<p>truss work. It features a stage, unfinished plank pews, and a</p><br>
<p>packed earth and sawdust floor. Sulphur Springs Methodist Campground was founded following the</p><br>
<p>Great Revival of 1800. First meetings here may have occurred as</p><br>
<p>early as 1815. In 1842 temporary brush arbors were abandoned</p><br>
<p>for a more permanent structural complex. The present shed as well</p><br>
<p>as the other buildings, now extinct, were reconstructed according</p><br>
<p>to the same plan and shape and utilizing the same materials in</p><br>
<p>1900.</p><br>
<p>The Rippon-Kinsella House is a historic house located at 1317 North Third Street in Springfield, Illinois. The house was most likely built in 1871 for businessman John Rippon, Jr. Its original design was a simple Italianate plan; the style can still be seen in its bracketed eaves and its long arched windows with round hoods. Rippon sold the house in 1891, and after passing through several other owners it was bought by Richard "Dick" Kinsella in 1899. Kinsella ran a local wallpaper and paint business, worked as a scout for the New York Giants baseball team, and was a prominent Sangamon County Democrat. In 1905, Kinsella remodeled his house to incorporate Classical elements; the house&#39;s porch with Doric columns and its high-pitched roof were added at this time. Classical Revival architecture was popular in both new and remodeled houses in Springfield at the time, and the more traditional Italianate houses were well-suited to renovations; the house is one of the best-preserved examples of these hybrid designs.</p><br>
<p>The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on February 27, 1992.</p><br>
<p>The Nike Site Summit  is a historic military installation of the United States Army in Anchorage Borough, Alaska. The site, located in the Chugach Mountains overlooking Joint Base Elmendorf–Richardson, is the location of one of the best-preserved surviving Nike-Hercules missile installations in the state. The site&#39;s structures include a battery control area, a missile launch area, and several magazines. Units of the 43rd Air Defense Artillery Regiment, USARAL Artillery Group, United States Army Alaska, would have garrisoned the site. The site was built in 1957-58 and equipped with missiles in 1959. The site was in active service defending the United States from the threat of Soviet air strikes until it was decommissioned in 1979, after which sensitive militarily equipment  was removed. The USA Army maintained the site into the 1980s before abandoning it. The site was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1996. A local non-profit group, Friends of Nike Site Summit, is actively attempting to preserve the site.</p><br>
<p>Site Summit was one of 145 Nike-Hercules sites that were built as a part of the defense network that protected the United States during the Cold War. In 1959–60, eight Nike missile sites were constructed in Alaska. The Nike sites in Alaska, including Site Summit, served a vital defense role due to their location—being between the Soviet Union and continental United States. Site Summit performed live fire tests of its Nike-Hercules missiles between 1960 and 1963, before the launches became dangerous due to the growing population of Anchorage.</p><br>
<p>The Nike-Hercules missile, the United States military&#39;s first anti-aircraft missile capable of being equipped with nuclear warheads, was a formidable defense weapon. The United States’ Nike-Hercules sites were created in response to the rising possibility of nuclear attack by Soviet bombers. Operation of Nike-Hercules sites such as Site Summit required 125 personnel. Despite the ability of Nike missiles, the advent of intercontinental missiles quickly made the Nike-Hercules missiles obsolete. Nike-Hercules sites began closing in 1965 and all Nike-Hercules sites had been decommissioned by 1975 except ones in Alaska and Florida—Site Summit in Anchorage and the Nike-Hercules site in Key West were the last two sites to close in 1979.</p><br>
<p>Friends of Nike Site Summit partnered with multiple state agencies in 2009 in order to restore the site. After three years of restoration, guided tours began in the summer of 2012.</p><br>
<p>Chesuncook is a small unincorporated settlement on the northwestern shore of Chesuncook Lake in rural central Piscataquis County, Maine. A small village, originally supporting logging operations in the area, has existed here since at least the time of Henry David Thoreau, who wrote about it in The Maine Woods. The village is now a primarily seasonal settlement that caters principally to outdoors enthusiasts. Seven historic properties on or near the "Main Street" fronting the lake were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Chesuncook Village is located on the northwestern shore of Chesuncook Lake, near the mouth of the West Branch Penobscot River. It is about 60 mi by (generally gravel) road from Millinocket. Originally the site of an Abenaki encampment, it arose in the 1840s as a frontier logging village, after damming the river enlarged the lake and made possible logging drives further upstream. Henry David Thoreau described the village in The Maine Woods after his visit 1853 as having "quite a harbor". The village&#39;s oldest surviving house, the Chesuncook Lake House, was built in 1864 as a boarding house and lodge, and the village grew over the following decades, reaching a population of about 65 in 1900 and about 250 in 1920. The nature of logging drives in the region was altered by the construction of the Ripogenus Dam in 1916, and the village declined in the 20th century. The Chesuncook Lake House burned down on March 17, 2018 at 2:30am.</p><br>
<p>In addition to the Chesuncook Lake House, there are a series of smaller summer houses along the waterfront, extending to the north toward Graveyard Point. At Graveyard Point there are a few buildings constructed by the Great Northern Paper Company to provide housing for its workers. A short way inland is a combined church/school building, also built by the Great Northern; it is located near the cemetery, which was originally at Graveyard Point but was relocated due to the 1916 dam, which raised the water level.</p><br>
<p>The William Shaver House is a historic house on the east side of School Street, north of 4th Street, in Hardy, Arkansas.

The main facade is three bays wide, with the porch and entrance at the center, and flanking sash windows. The house is a fine local example of a vernacular stone house, built c. 1947 for a working-class family.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.</p><br>
<p>The Silas Sherrill House is a historic house at the southwest corner of 4th and Spring Streets in Hardy, Arkansas. It is a 1–1/2 story structure, fashioned out of rough-cut native stone, uncoursed and finished with beaded mortar. It has a side gable roof with knee brackets in the extended gable ends, and brick chimneys with contrasting colors and gabled caps. A gable-roof dormer pierces the front facade roof, with stuccoed wall finish, exposed rafter tails, and knee brackets. The front has a single-story shed-roof porch extending its full width, supported by piers of conglomerated stone, and with a fieldstone balustrade. Built in 1927–28, it is a fine local example of craftsman architecture executed in stone.</p><br>
