<p>The Walnut Street Historic District is a historic district in Florence, Alabama. Development of the neighborhood began in earnest in the 1890s, although the oldest house in the district dates from 1870. Florence&#39;s first economic boom after the Civil War began in the 1880s, and the newly minted upper-middle class began building homes to the east of older residential sections, such as Wood Avenue and the Sannoner District. The economy cooled in the 1900s and 1910s, only to pick up again in the 1920s with the construction of Wilson Dam and several textile mills.</p><br>
<p>Houses in the district represent three major types: the earliest constructed are the largest, and have Victorian and Classical Revival details; many houses from the early 1900s are cottages with either Victorian or California bungalow influences; and later 1920s and 1930s homes are usually two-story brick structures with Georgian influences.</p><br>
<p>The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976, and its boundaries were increased in 1993 and 1996.</p><br>
<p>The Wood Avenue Historic District is a historic district in Florence, Alabama. The residential neighborhood was primarily developed after Reconstruction, although five houses date from before the Civil War. By the time of Florence&#39;s economic boom of the 1880s, the most fashionable upper-class neighborhood in Florence, today known as the Sannoner Historic District, had already been filled in, leading development to move to Wood Avenue to the west. Most homes built during this time were large, Victorian structures, including many elaborate examples of Queen Anne architecture.</p><br>
<p>As the economy slowed in the 1910s, more modest homes were constructed, primarily bungalows. Although they now make up nearly half of the buildings in the district, the first bungalow in the area, the Wade-Ware House, met resistance from neighbors when it was built in 1916, arguing that its style was not up to the standards of the neighborhood. After the completion of Wilson Dam in 1926, Florence&#39;s economy quickened once more and larger homes began to be built in the district. Houses of this era tended to be Georgian Revival in style, although other revival styles, such as Spanish Colonial and Tudor are represented. As the neighborhood filled in, the focus of development shifted to the north and west, including in the Walnut Street Historic District.</p><br>
<p>The district was listed on the Alabama Register of Landmarks and Heritage and the National Register of Historic Places in 1978. Its boundaries were increased in 1996 and 1997.</p><br>

<p>The California Hotel is a historic Oakland, California, hotel which opened in the early days of the Great Depression and became an important cultural center for the African-American community of San Francisco&#39;s East Bay during the 1940s, 50s and 60s. On June 30, 1988, the hotel was placed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The California Hotel opened its doors on May 18, 1930. A 5-story structure with mezzanine and penthouse, it was the tallest building in the area. It cost $265,000 to build the 150-room hotel with commercial space on the ground floor. Though situated 1 miles from Oakland&#39;s city center, the new hotel was within walking distance of the passenger stations for both the Santa Fe Railroad and the regional Key System streetcars.</p><br>
<p>The hotel was located at 3501 San Pablo Avenue, near major highways, and passing traffic was increased in 1937 by the opening of the San Francisco–Oakland Bay Bridge. In 1962 construction of the elevated MacArthur Freeway blocked the street view of the hotel but made it visible to hundreds of thousands of bridge commuters.</p><br>
<p>The hotel opened in difficult economic times. The hotels first manager, Axel Bern, an experienced hotelier, was also an investor. Just four months after the grand opening, Bern was arrested and charged with disturbing the peace after a quarrel in the hotels lobby. According to a story in the Oakland Tribune, Bern had reneged on his commitment to invest $35,000 into the hotel and had been relieved of his duties as general manager. However, Bern returned to work at the front desk on the day of his arrest.</p><br>
<p>To attract the car driving public, the hotel&#39;s owners added a "motorists patio" in 1933, with a separate entrance from the parking area directly to the lobby. Next to the patio was a garage building, a service station and a repair shop. An advertisement in the 1943 Oakland City Directory described the hotel amenities as "commodious airy rooms, all with shower and tub baths, dining, banquet and meeting rooms, coffee shop and cocktail lounges, garage adjoining".</p><br>
<p>During World War II, the hotel was known for the blues, jazz and similar race music being played in its ground floor bars and ballrooms. African American patrons were denied rooms due to segregation, but they came in large numbers to hear the music. On January 16, 1953, new ownership took control, and the hotel ended its discrimination policies. A grand "reopening" was held with invited guests that included Oakland-born comedian Eddie "Rochester" Anderson, boxing champion Joe Louis and acclaimed singer Lena Horne. The hotel attracted many high-profile black visitors to Oakland. At that time, it was the only full-service hotel that welcomed black people in the East Bay. The 1956 edition of The Negro Motorist Green Book also lists five smaller, less sophisticated Oakland hotels.</p><br>
<p>African American entertainers who lodged and performed at the hotel included Big Mama Thornton, B. B. King, Lou Rawls, James Brown, Sam Cooke, Ray Charles and Richard Pryor.</p><br>
<p>After the 1960s, the hotel, as with many dedicated African American institutions and businesses in the area, declined; black entertainers could now stay in any hotel, and patrons followed them to white-owned clubs and other venues.</p><br>
<p>By the 1970s, the hotel was in bad condition and was boarded up. In the 1980s, it was repaired and rented out as subsidized housing.</p><br>
<p>In 2012, a start was made on restoring the building and in 2014, after a renovation costing $43 million, it was once more opened as low-rental housing.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The California Hotel, constructed in 1929–1930, is a 5-story and Mezzanine and penthouse, L-plan structure made of reinforced concrete, designed in the Spanish Colonial Revival Style. Situated in west Oakland near the border of Emeryville and adjacent to the MacArthur Freeway (Interstate 580), the building stands out with its pressed red brick exterior in American bond, complemented by off-white and painted Stucco trim. Notably, the north facade features two off-square towers, making it the tallest building in the vicinity. The ground floor houses a well-preserved original southwest-style lobby.</p><br>
<p>Since its inception, the structure has seen minimal changes. Initially intended as a 150-room commercial hotel with ground-floor commercial spaces and permanent units, the hotel/residential floors have remained vacant for the past twelve years. There are ongoing plans to rehabilitate and convert these floors into low-income housing. Despite being in a run-down condition with some missing ornaments and minor vandalism, the California Hotel retains its original character, including tiled parapets, a galvanized iron Cornice, tile storefront bases (now painted), mezzanine clerestory windows covered with modern metal cladding, a metal marquee, and most of the original windows.</p><br>
<p>The building&#39;s L-plan spans approximately 214 feet along San Pablo Avenue, forming a polygonal lot resembling a flatiron with the tip cut off. The main arm of the L-plan contains a lobby, commercial spaces on the ground floor and mezzanine, and hotel units on the floors above. The northern arm extends 80 feet back from San Pablo, housing a balconied lobby and Banquet room, apartment units on floors two through five, and a penthouse with observation towers.</p><br>
<p>The hotel parking lot, accessed through the original gateway on San Pablo Avenue, retains its brick pylons and metal Arch, though a new gate has been installed. However, the rear section of the lot has become an abandoned junkyard. Adjacent to the building, there used to be an auto repair shed along the Chestnut Street line, and several small 1-story structures, including a 1956 concrete block addition, a 1939 frame bottle storage shed altered in 1946, are slated for demolition. Brick 1-story entry, storage, and mechanical rooms at the rear angle of the L-plan will be retained.</p><br>
<p>The San Pablo facade is a two-part vertical composition, divided into five bays with off-white stucco panels and featuring balconies resting on consoles. The storefronts maintain their original Clerestory windows behind 1971 metal cladding, with bases clad in glossy black glazed ceramic tiles. The lobby windows, although altered, retain the original metal marquee and entry lanterns. The lobby itself, though unfurnished, preserves its original design, including a mezzanine balcony, stenciled ceiling panels, a Terrazzo floor, and a Fireplace with Mayan-style relief tiles.</p><br>
<p>Each units bathroom features glazed ceramic tile wainscot in various color combinations, showcasing a range of unique designs. The buildings roof, offering a 360° view, once hosted a neon-lit roof sign, "CALIFORNIA HOTEL," between the towers. The sign framework still stands, albeit empty and rickety. Despite the wear and tear, the California Hotel reflects its historic charm, awaiting potential restoration and revitalization efforts.</p><br>

The house was built for Thomas and Jane (Russell) Adams; he was a local selectman and served in the state legislature. Their daughter Jane married Charles Cate, and they were the houses next owners. Their daughter Anna married Sanford B. Dole, a leading figure in late-19th century Hawaiian politics. Harriet Beecher Stowe is known to have stayed here during a visit to Castine. At the time of the property&#39;s listing on the National Register in 1970, the house was owned by the Maine Maritime Academy, and served as housing for its executive officer.</p><br>
<p>Concord Haven, or the J. Leon Williams House, is a historic summer estate in Embden, Maine. Built in 1915, the house is a fine local example of Colonial Revival architecture, and is one of the only architect-designed buildings in the rural community. It was designed by John Calvin Stevens and John Howard Stevens for local son James Leon Williams, noted for his advances in dentistry. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Concord Haven is located on 50 acre of mixed forest and agricultural land in northern Embden, just on the border with Concord Township. The house is set between Maine State Route 16 and the Kennebec River, with a commanding view of the latter. The main block is a rectangular wood-frame structure, oriented with the long axis north–south, with a hip roof topped by a widow&#39;s walk with balustrade. A two-story wing extends to the left (north), with a single-story wing extending further from that. A long single-story sunroom addition extends to the south. The west-facing facade is dominated by a two-story portico supported by paired Tuscan columns, under which is the main entrance, topped by a semi-elliptical fanlight window, and a second-floor veranda. This central portico is flanked on the first floor by picture windows with small side windows, and by paired sash windows on the second. The east (river-facing) facade has a broad veranda extending the width of the main block, and a two-story portico supported by fluted square columns, under which is a sitting area on the second level.</p><br>
<p>James Leon Williams was born in Embden (in a farmhouse across Route 16 from this house) and trained as a dentist. Instead of practicing the craft, he engaged in research, furthering the understanding of the formation of dental enamel and the effects of bacteria on it. He also innovated in the production of dental prosthetics, and wrote many papers on dentistry-related subjects. Williams hired the noted Portland-based firm of John Calvin Stevens, then in partnership with his son John Howard Stevens to design his summer house. The house was, at the time of its listing on the National Register in 1992, the only major architect-designed building in Embden.</p><br>

The structures were built in 1925 , 1935 , and circa 1900 ; they each resemble a small gable-roofed house.</p><br>
<p>It is important to distinguish between grave shelters and grave houses. Shelters, common in Protestant southern cemeteries, are primarily built with a roof, four corner posts and a fence protecting an in-ground burial site. Grave houses are complete, miniature houses with siding, hinged doors, windows and sometimes ornate interiors.</p><br>
<p>No one knows why the Cajun Catholic settlers in the Acadiana Prairie region of south Louisiana began building grave houses. There are numerous legends about how the tradition started. The significance of the grave houses is uncertain; historians have variously proposed that the houses were a form of protection or a local interpretation of burial vaults. The houses resemble the grave shelters of the Upland South, another burial tradition with obscure origins, and some researchers have suggested that the former practice derives from the latter.</p><br>
<p>Local filmmakers Zach, Donny and Jeremy C. Broussard released their historical documentary Little Houses in 2009. The film documents the mystery of the houses, their historical significance and the filmmakers efforts to have them listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Locals estimate that at least forty grave houses once stood in the Istre Cemetery alone and twelve remained in Istre Cemetery as recently as the 1980s. Today only three original houses remain. Since the films release, a fourth house has been built by Leonard Smith, a local resident and caretaker of the cemetery.</p><br>
<p>The grave houses were added to the National Register of Historic Places on February 21, 2008.</p><br>
<p>The Harriman School is a historic one-room schoolhouse on North Road in rural Sebec, Maine. Built in 1860, it is the oldest of two surviving 19th-century district schoolhouses in the community. The vernacular Greek Revival building served as a public school until 1933, and was converted into a museum by the Sebec Historical Society after it acquired the property in 1966. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1996.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Harriman School is set facing south on the north side of North Road, about 1.7 mi northeast of its junction with Parsons Landing Road. It is a rectangular wood-frame structure with a front-facing gable roof, weatherboard exterior, and a granite foundation. The front facade is three bays wide, with a single window in the center bay, flanked by a pair of matching entries, with a single sash window in the gable end above. The entries have modest surrounds with transoms and pedimented lintels. The interior is finished in tongue-and-groove woodwork (added in the 20th century), and includes original furnishings such as student desks, a raised teacher&#39;s platform, and a slate blackboard.</p><br>
<p>The building was, according to local lore, originally built to house a church, but this is not confirmed in any documentation. It was built about 1860, and was one of the town&#39;s sixteen district schoolhouses. Population decline in the 19th century quickly reduced the number of district schools to nine, and the school system was consolidated in 1933, closing the remaining district schools. This building sat vacant until 1947, when it was rehabilitated and used for a time as a community center. It was acquired in 1966 by the Sebec Historical Society, which uses it as a museum.</p><br>
<p>The Kukak Bay Cannery was a commercial razor clam canning operation on the southern coast of the Alaska Peninsula. The cannery operated intermittently from 1922 to 1951, with its most active years before 1936, when most of its complex was destroyed by fire.</p><br>
<p>The remains of the cannery are located on the shores of Kukak Bay, an inlet providing some shelter from the harsh weather of the area.</p><br>
<p>The cannery property formally became part of Katmai National Park and Preserve in 1931, and was designated an archaeological historic district, comprising 18 contributing sites, on the National Register of Historic Places in 2003.</p><br>
