<p>Curran Hall, also known as the Walters-Curran-Bell House, is a historic house at 615 East Capitol Street in Little Rock, Arkansas. It was built in 1842 for Colonel Ebenezer Walters. The single story house is built in the Greek Revival style with Doric pilasters at the entrance way. Two auxiliary buildings, constructed at about the same time as the main building, were moved and attached to the rear of the house in 1891.</p><br>
<p>The house is significant as one of the few remaining antebellum era landmarks in Little Rock. It served as the home of pre-Civil war Arkansas Supreme Court Justice George Watkins. Jacob Frolich purchased the home after the war, who would become a post-reconstruction Arkansas Secretary of State. Before that, however, Frolich, an opponent of the reconstruction Arkansas government and fearful of reprisals, fortified Curran Hall with trap doors and placed his livestock inside the house at night. Frolich was indicted for the murder of a reputed informant for the reconstruction government and fled to Canada, but later returned and was acquitted of the charge.</p><br>
<p>In 1976, the house was added to the National Register of Historic Places. It was acquired by the City of Little Rock and the Little Rock Advertising and Promotion Commission in 1996, renovated, and opened as an information center in 2002.</p><br>
<p>The Cornelius Flagg Farmstead is a historic farm located on Tipton School Road in Sherman, Illinois. Cornelius Flagg, a farmer and lumber businessman from Ohio, established the farm in the 1870s. The farmhouse, the farms main building, is a two-story brick Italianate building. The house has an asymmetrical pattern with hip roofs over each component. Several of its key Italianate features are not original; the wraparound front porch was replaced in 1930, and its bracketed cornice was reconstructed in the 1940s after tornadoes damaged the roof. The farms brick barn is unusually well-crafted for a barn built during the period, a sign of Flagg&#39;s wealth. Other buildings on the farm include a machinery shed, a smaller and older farmhouse, a privy, and an ice house.</p><br>
<p>The farm was added to the National Register of Historic Places on February 3, 1993.</p><br>
<p>The Governor Brann School is a historic school building on United States Route 1 in Cyr Plantation, Maine. It presently is used by the plantation as a polling station and meeting place. The school was named for Louis J. Brann, who was Governor of Maine at the time of its construction in 1934. It is the best-preserved of the community&#39;s former district school buildings; it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1993.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Brann School is set on the east side of United States Route 1, just south of its junction with Laplante Road. It is a small wood-frame structure with Craftsman styling. It is finished in wood shingles and has a hip roof. A shed-roof addition extends from the center of the northern facade. The main facade faces west, and is three bays wide, a pair of sash windows flanking the center entrance. The entrance is sheltered by a gable-roofed portico, supported by both large brackets and a pair of square posts. The porch roof, like that of the building, has exposed rafter ends in the Craftsman style. The interior of the main block is a single room, with small closets on either side of the entrance, and doorways leading the northern addition, which originally housed pit toilets. The interior is finished in tongue-and-groove woodwork with a chair rail.</p><br>
<p>Cyr Plantation was incorporated in 1870. The Governor Brann School, built in 1934, was the third built by the community for its third district. Due to declining population and school enrollment, the community closed three of its six schools in 1943, and the rest were closed in 1950, when its schools were consolidated with those of neighboring Van Buren. The design of this school was based on one of a series of plans developed by the Portland architectural firm Miller & Mayo pursuant to a state contract for designing model schools under a 1909 state law intended to improve the state&#39;s rural schools. This school building is one of a number of rural schools in the state built according to the same design.</p><br>

<p>The Wakamatsu Tea and Silk Farm Colony is believed to be the first permanent Japanese settlement in North America and the only settlement by samurai outside of Japan. The group was made up of 22 people from samurai families during the Boshin Civil War  in Japan preceding the Meiji Restoration. The group purchased land from Charles Graner family in the Gold Hill region after coming to San Francisco in 1869. Though the group was able to successfully show their produce during the 1869 California State Agricultural Fair in Sacramento and the 1870 Horticultural Fair in San Francisco, the farm as a Japanese colony only existed between 1869 and 1871.</p><br>
<p>Okei Ito, the first known Japanese woman to be buried on American soil, has her grave on the land. The Veerkamp family purchased the farm following the withdrawal of financial support from financier Matsudaira Katamori (1835–93). In 1969, the same year as the Japanese American centennial, Ronald Reagan, then governor of California, proclaimed the colony to be California Historical Landmark No. 815. The family preserved the heritage of the farm and Okeis grave for 137 years until the American River Conservancy purchased the land in November 2010, with the National Park Service placing the site on the National Register of Historic Places at a level of "national significance". American River Conservancy offers private and public tours of the property, including Okei Itos gravesite.</p><br>
<h2>Context</h2><br>
<p>From the early 17th century, Japan was under Shogunate rule and considered an isolated country. It had few external trade partners, primarily the Dutch. After 260 years, Commodore Matthew Perry forced trade ports to open for the United States (1853–54). By 1860, the previous cultural isolation and government was starting to disintegrate, separating the country into two groups: those who opposed the isolation and sought change and those who supported the isolation and shogunate rule.</p><br>
<p>Matsudaira Katamori, related by marriage to the ruling Tokugawa family, was a daimyō of the Aizu Wakamatsu Province (todays Fukushima Prefecture) and disagreed with the Tokugawa policy of isolation. Matsudaira subscribed to the political notion of "Eastern ethics and Western Science". Eventually tensions boiled over and the Boshin Civil War began. Being a daimyō under the Tokugawa clan, 24-year-old Matsudaira was pushed by the Tokugawa shogunate to lead a campaign against the Satsuma (todays Kagoshima).The Satsuma, along with the forces of Choshu and Tosa, made up the Imperial Army who wanted to overthrow the current Shogunate and daimyo rule as they felt it was too weak to deal with foreign forces like the United States, who wanted to force trade. At the Battle of Aizu (1868), Matsudaira&#39;s force of samurai was defeated by the larger number sent by the Emperor.</p><br>
<p>John Henry Schnell was an early member of the Prussian embassy. After coming to Japan, he was employed by Lord Matsudaira as an arms dealer for cannons and Gatling guns. During this time, Japan did not have any diplomatic treaties with Germany. Because of this, Schnell dealt with the Japanese by masquerading as a Dutch trader. John Schnell trained Matsudaira&#39;s samurai in the use of the firearms and gained samurai status along with a Japanese name. This allowed him to marry a Japanese samurai class woman (Jou) which strengthened his ties to Japanese society.</p><br>
<p>Due to Matsudairas loss at Aizu, the daimyō was condemned to death. His surrender placed Schnell and his familys life in danger. Because of this, Schnell asked for funding from Matsudaira and commissioned the SS China to transport his family and other samurai families to the United States. They took with them 50,000 three-year-old kuwa (mulberry trees) used for the cultivation of silk worms and six million tea seeds.</p><br>
<h2>Establishment</h2><br>
<p>The Japanese immigrants arrived in San Francisco on May 20, 1869. They brought with them mulberry trees, silkworm cocoons, tea plant and bamboo shoots, cooking utensils, and swords. They caught the attention of the press, including the San Francisco Alta Daily News, who praised the Japanese work ethic. Unfortunately, the fates of him and his family are unknown as they did not return to California, leading the colonists to believe that they were abandoned in the new world.</p><br>
<h2>Future of the colonists</h2><br>
<p>Many of the colonists dispersed following the perceived abandonment of John Henry Schnell and the purchase of the land by the Francis Veerkamp family in 1873. A handful stayed and many sold their possessions in order to survive. Some returned to Japan, while others settled elsewhere looking for work.</p><br>
<p>The fates of only three of the colonists are known for certain. Matsunosuke Sakurai stayed to work for the new landowners until his death in 1901. Masumizu Kuninosuke married an African/American Indian woman named Carrie Wilson in Coloma in 1877 and eventually moved to Sacramento where he lived until his death in 1915. There is still extensive family of Kuninosuke in the Sacramento area today. Finally, Okei Ito, who came to the Wakamatsu colony as a nursemaid for the Schnell family at age 17, also stayed in Gold Hill under the employment of the Veercamp family. Unfortunately, Okei&#39;s journey in the new world was short lived as she died two years later of illness at the age of 19. She is believed to be the first Japanese woman buried on American soil. Her grave can be found on a hill overlooking the Gold Trail School with a tombstone stating "In Memory of Okei, Died 1871. Aged 19 years. A Japanese Girl" in English on the front and in Japanese on the back. The tombstone seen on the site now is a replica of the original which has been taken down for preservation. There is also a replica of her gravestone in Aizuwakamatsu, erected in 1958.</p><br>
<h2>Protection of site</h2><br>
<p>Though the Veerkamp family changed the purpose of the farm and for 125 years grazed cattle and operated a dairy farm, they worked to preserve remnants of the Japanese Colony. In the 1920s, there was an increase of interest in the former Japanese farm. Henry Taketa interviewed a 75-year-old Henry Veerkamp who was friends with Okei in his younger years. The attention led to an influx of Japanese Americans (now facing strict anti-alien laws) in 1924 coming to tend to Okeis gravesite and emphasized the colony as the beginning of Japanese immigration. The 1969 governor of California, future president Ronald Reagan, declared the Wakamatsu Tea and Silk farm to be California Historical Landmark No. 815. The year 1969 was designated by the Japanese American community to be the Japanese American Centennial. This designation drew the attendance of Matsudaira Ichiro (Matsudaira Katamoris grandson) and Japanese Consul General Shima Seiichi to the event supporting both the proclamation of Wakamatsu as a historical site, as well as the date of the centennial. A plaque was placed at the site then by the Parks and Recreation State Department in cooperation with JACL, El Dorado Historical Society and Friends of the Centennial Observance.</p><br>
<p>The Veerkamp family donated the original silk and gold-thread banner with the Tokugawa/Matsudaira lotus blossom crest along with a ceremonial dagger believed to have belonged to Jou Schnell (John Henry Schnell&#39;s wife) to the Marshall Gold State Historic Park in 2001. In 2007, a member of the family also found photographs taken of the colonists by the studio of Robert Miller in Placerville (1870) in an envelope. Later that year, the family appealed to the American River Conservancy (ARC) to ask for help in restoration of the Graner-Wakamatsu-Veerkamp farmhouse, providing public access and interpretation of the cultural history of the farm. The ARC purchased the site on November 1, 2010 for the appraised market value. Thanks to the efforts of Congressional District Representative Tom McClintock and USA Senator Barbara Boxer, there were bills introduced to the House and Senate to help the management of the ranch, which was registered at the level of "national significance" to the National Register of Historic Places by the National Park Service. Due to the efforts of ARC and its project partners, the Wakamatsu site is now open to the public throughout the year for private and public tours of the historical sites on the property, festivals, and other scheduled events. The property is not a public park and is not open to the public except during scheduled events. Two small farms lease portions of the land and homes from the ARC and practice sustainable agriculture there, in keeping with the historical use of the land as a farm by both the Japanese colonists and the Veerkamp family.</p><br>

Jarvis daughter, Ann Francis Greely, was also Hancock Countys first female doctor, and a local activist for women&#39;s rights and temperance. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Jarvis House is set on the southeast side of Surry Road (Maine State Route 172), a short way south of its junction with United States Route 1, just west of Ellsworth&#39;s central business district. Its main block is a roughly square wood-frame structure, with a hip roof that is topped by a flat balustraded area at its center. A single-story hip-roof porch extends around three sides of this block, and a two-story gable-roof ell extends to the east side of the main block, with a further single-story addition at its end. The porch is supported by Tuscan columns, and has a modillioned cornice.</p><br>
<p>The interior of the house follows a central hall plan. Its major public space is to the left of the hall, and consists of a large double parlor with sliding doors at its center. Design of this room is clearly drawn from Plate LIV of Asher Benjamins American Builders Companion. The dining room, to the right of the hall, is more richly detailed in its woodwork. The kitchen, located behind the dining room, has had a number of later alterations, including a butler&#39;s pantry and a German silver sink.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The house was built in 1828 by a builder from Castine. A number of its exterior features, including the wraparound porch, are Colonial Revival alterations made around the turn of the 20th century. The balustrade that is now atop the roof is not original. A carriage house, built, replaced an older New England barn on the property.</p><br>
<p>Charles Jarvis (1788-1865) came to Maine around 1818 to manage extensive lands that his father had acquired, and was elected to the state legislature. Jarvis was in competition with John Black (whose nearby mansion is now a museum property), the land agent for William Bingham, the areas largest landowner. Jarvis married Blacks daughter Ann (over initial objections from her father) in 1820. Competition between the two men extended to disputes over the municipal boundaries of Ellsworth and Surry; Jarvis&#39; house was located in Surry when it was built.</p><br>
<p>When border tensions with neighboring New Brunswick flared in the 1830s, Jarvis is reported to have built the military road connecting Mattawamkeag and Houlton, the latter being a major staging point for the state militia that was organized because of the dispute. In 1839 Jarvis, commissioned a colonel in the state militia, led troops up to the mouth of the Aroostook River. The border dispute was resolved peacefully with the 1842 Webster-Ashburton Treaty.</p><br>
<p>Jarvis daughter Ann was born here in 1831, and became one Hancock Countys first and most successful businesswomen. At twenty she purchased a local dry goods store, and in 1895 she was specially authorized by the state legislature to practice medicine. She was also well known as a supporter of temperance, and of womens right to vote. It was during her ownership of the house that the butlers pantry, silver sink, dumbwaiter, and electric call buttons were installed in the house.</p><br>
<p>A later owner of the house was Hannibal Emery Hamlin, the son of United States Vice President Hannibal Hamlin. He served as Maine Attorney General 1905–1908, and also in the state legislature.</p><br>

The farm was added to the National Register of Historic Places on May 1, 1989.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The farm includes thirteen buildings, eleven of which are contributing buildings, and five other contributing resources. Powers original farmhouse, which also served as a local courthouse, is the farms oldest building; built in 1829, it was the first frame building in the county north of the Sangamon River. A new main farmhouse with a detached kitchen was built circa 1840-1850; this farmhouse is still the farms main building. The 1845 wooden stable is the oldest non-residence building on the farm. Three other large 19th-century buildings remain on the farm: the main barn, caretakers cottage, and scales house. Significant outbuildings include the wood house, smoke house, ice house, gas generator house, privy, pergola, and corn crib. A family cemetery is located to the southeast of the main farmhouse.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>George Power, originally a Kentucky resident, moved to Sangamon County in 1821; he settled on his farms land the same year, building a temporary log cabin to live in. Power was one of the first settlers in the county, which allowed him to buy enough farmland to establish one of its largest farms. He also played an important role in its justice system, as he served as Sangamon Countys justice of the peace from 1828 to 1847. When the farms original farmhouse was completed in 1829, it also became Powers courthouse. As circuit courts only met biannually at the time, Power heard hundreds of the countys important cases in his farmhouse, including the first case argued by Abraham Lincoln. After Powers death in 1886, his son James inherited the farm; the property remains in the Power family.</p><br>
<p>The Brunk Farmstead is a historic farm located on KOA Campground Road 1 mi south of East Lake Drive near Rochester, Illinois.

The farmhouse was built as a one-story stone structure circa 1829; its second story was added in the 1850s, giving it an I-house plan. While the house originally had a mainly Federal design, it was later updated with Greek Revival and Italianate influences. The original horse barn, the other historically significant building on the property, is a three-bay English barn built in the late 1820s.</p><br>

It is a large 2-1/2 story wood frame structure, with a dormered slate hip roof, weatherboard siding, and a granite foundation. Its main facade is three bays wide, with the center entrance sheltered by a portico that is supported by thin square posts and features an elaborately decorated entablature. The entry itself consists of a double door set in a wide arch, flanked by arched Queen Anne-style windows with colored panes. Above the entry on the second level are a grouping of three sash windows, with a Palladian window at the third level. The side bays have single sash windows at the ground level and doubled sash windows above, joined between levels by a paneled course. The north elevation repeats the window patterns of the flanking bays, with a side entrance occupying the fourth bay (of five), which faces the parking lot. The south elevation repeats the window plan of the upper levels of the north side, but has two entrances on the ground level, flanked by either single or paired sash windows. The rear of the building originally housed a wide entrance for fire equipment; this has been closed off.</p><br>
<p>The interior houses municipal offices and the library on the ground floor, and a large performance space on the upper levels, which include a third-floor gallery level. The rear of the building was built to house a fire truck and hearse; the library later expanded into this space.</p><br>
<p>The building was designed and built in 1901-02 by C. L. Smith, a local contractor about whom little is known.
