<p>It was purposely burned to the ground on December 31, 2006, or January 1, 2007, by the developer of a waterfront community on Sloop Point Road in Hampstead. Instead of working</p><br>
<p>with the Pender County Historical Society to see if Belvedere Plantation house could be saved by moving it to another location as had been requested, the home was instead turned over by the owners of the Virginia Bay property to the Sloop Point Volunteer Fire Department to burn down. The importance of the home to the community was probably unknown to the volunteer fire department.</p><br>
<p>Beatty-Corbett House is a historic plantation house located near Ivanhoe, in Sampson County, Pender County, and Bladen County. The plantation is located at the tripoint of Sampson, Pender, and Bladen counties, with the house itself being located in Pender County. A two-story, side-hall Greek Revival style block was built about 1850, with a two-story, five-bay, double pile Classical Revival house added about 1900, and a two-room ell added about 1920. The central bay of the c. 1900 section features a two-story portico. Also on the property are the contributing round-notched log stable, smokehouse, tool shed, washhouse, a sulfur spring, tobacco barn, several sections of ornate cast iron fence, the site of a former turpentine still, the site of a former riverboat landing , and the site of a former cotton gin.</p><br>
<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.</p><br>
<p>The Moore-Mayo House is a historic house on Lighthouse Road in Bass Harbor, a village of Tremont, Maine. The architecturally vernacular house was built beginning in 1947 by the authors Ruth Moore and Eleanor Mayo, who lived and wrote there until their respective deaths in 1989 and 1981. Moore in particular has been cited as a major mid-20th century writer of Maine culture. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Moore-Mayo House is set on the west side of Lighthouse Road, on a property which extends down to the shore. The main house is set near the road, sheltered from it by a lilac hedge. Overgrown fields extend down to the shore, where there is a small wood-frame "camp" cabin with deck. The main house is a single-story vernacular wood-frame structure, which grew organically over time as the two women expanded it. It has a main square component at its center, with wings added to the west and south sides. These sections are each covered by a gable roof whose rafter ends are exposed.</p><br>
<p>The core of the house was built in 1947 by Ruth Moore and Eleanor Mayo, with help from Mayo&#39;s father Frederick. Architectural elements of the house were recycled from an old Civilian Conservation Corps camp site, second-hand materials, and beach-combed lumber. The structure was fitted with plumbing and electricity in 1948, and the two wings were added over the following years. The floors and walls are finished in pine, and there are builtin pine cabinets in the kitchen and bedrooms. The camp at the shore was built in 1962.</p><br>
<p>Ruth Moore (1903–89) and Eleanor Mayo (1920-81) were both born in the area, and met in 1940. Moore had already been published by then, but her major critical success followed. She was lauded critically by contemporaries and later commentators for her social commentary, wit and language in writing, and her depictions of rural Maine, following in some degree the trail blazed by Sarah Orne Jewett and others. Mayo published five novels before becoming involved in local politics; she was the first woman to serve on the Tremont board of selectmen.</p><br>
<p>The Sheffield Residential Historic District is a historic district in Sheffield, Alabama. The district contains 678 contributing properties covering 160 acres  that represent the growth of the town from its founding in the 1880s through the 1950s. The town of Sheffield was founded in 1883, on the former site of a town known as York Bluff. Montgomery banker Alfred Moses founded the Sheffield Land, Iron, and Coal Company and began laying out streets in a north–south grid. Soon after the initial land sale in the town, five iron blast furnaces were built, along with landings and docks along the Tennessee River. Other industries and commercial businesses followed. The upper classes built large Victorian houses along the bluff overlooking the river, while more restrained Victorian cottages were built closer to the industrial district. A two-story commercial district, several churches, and a school were also built in the late 1880s.</p><br>
<p>The town&#39;s economy suffered during the Panic of 1893, revived only in 1898 when the Southern Railway Company located its headquarters in Sheffield. Other industrial and commercial development followed through the 1900s, however residential construction did not resume in earnest until the mid-1900s. Development was spurred again in 1916, with the construction of Wilson Dam and two ammonium nitrate plants. Several apartment buildings (including one in Pueblo Revival style), as well as numerous bungalows and Colonial Revival houses were built to house the influx of people. Following World War II, a number of ranch houses were constructed throughout the district.</p><br>
<p>The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002.</p><br>

<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2013.</p><br>
<p>The Naples Archeological District is an archaeological district located on the east bank of the Illinois River at Naples, Illinois. The district includes sixteen archaeological sites which were primarily occupied during the Woodland period. The area was most active during the Middle Woodland period, when it served as an important trade site in the Hopewell exchange system. Over a dozen mounds are included in the district; these mounds mainly served as burial sites, though a number were used to store refuse. The area also includes several large village sites, as Naples was a habitation site in addition to a trade center.</p><br>
<p>The district was added to the National Register of Historic Places on December 22, 1979.</p><br>
<p>The Old Post Office, located at 120 West Poplar Street in Rogers, Arkansas, is a historic building originally constructed in 1917. Designed by the Office of the Supervising Architect, it is a single-story brick structure that exemplifies the Georgian Revival architectural style. The building functioned as the city&#39;s main post office until the late 1940s.</p><br>
<p>After its use as a post office ended, the building was repurposed to house the Rogers Public Library, which occupied the space from 1963 until 1994. Due to its architectural significance and historical importance, the building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988 under the name "Rogers Post Office Building".</p><br>
<p>The Simon Sager Cabin is a historic log cabin on the campus of John Brown University in Siloam Springs, Arkansas. It is the oldest permanent structure in Siloam Springs. The cabin was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Simon Sager and his wife Wilhemina Meyers Sager were Germans who immigrated to the United States from Prussia in 1836. After living in Missouri, they moved to Hico, which is now part of Siloam Springs. Sager built this cabin, his second in Hico, in 1844, and made a living as a farmer, rancher, and cabinet maker.</p><br>
<p>In 1851, Sager sold the home to John DeArmond and moved a few miles away. Sager was not a soldier on either side of the American Civil War but in 1862, at the age of 62, he was killed by Cherokee people who belonged to the pro-Union Keetoowah Society (called "Pin" Indians). Union soldiers burned most buildings in Northwest Arkansas at the end of the war, but this cabin survived because DeArmand was a Union soldier.</p><br>
<h2>Features</h2><br>
<p>The cabin is a single-story, two-room structure made with hand-hewn logs that have been squared and chamfered, and joined by notches, with the gaps filled by limestone chinking. A tree-ring specialist from the University of Arkansas, Dr. David Stahle, found that the logs that made this cabin were from a tree that was a sapling in 1730.</p><br>
<p>Its original location was north of the John Brown University campus and north of Sager Creek, between Sager Creek and Villa View Road. When John E. Brown deeded his farm to Southwestern Collegiate Institute (now John Brown University) in 1919, the cabin had already been moved to its current location. For many years, it was used as housing for staff members.</p><br>
<p>By 1961, the building was in disrepair. Maggie Aldridge Smith (a descendent of Sager) wrote a book titled Siloam Souvenir: Simon Sager Memorial and sold copies for $1 each to raise funds for the cabin renovation. It was restored in 1965, and placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.</p><br>

<p>The Shiloh House is a historic house at 700 Lodge Dr. in Sulphur Springs, Benton County, Arkansas. Built in 1927, it is one of the largest examples of Bungalow and Craftsman-style architecture in Benton County.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<h3>1927‒1951: John Elward Brown</h3><br>
<p>In 1924, John E. Brown Sr. had already established a school in nearby Siloam Springs, Arkansas, and he purchased a large number of hotels and businesses in Sulphur Springs to open a second school. He built this home on a hill overlooking what would be the school campus. The home was built with royalties from books he wrote, and although he originally planned a more modest home he added to it until it was much larger than originally planned; one of his evangelistic friends estimated that the building was worth $40,000 (equivalent to almost $700,000 in 2024). As he did when founding the school in Siloam Springs, he deeded his home to the new school.</p><br>
<p>The large home later became a point of conflict, as some of the towns people accused Brown of valuing the home at only $800 (equivalent to about $14,000 in 2024) to avoid paying more taxes on it. This spurred Brown to have an independent audit conducted to prove his innocence to the community, and the audits findings that Brown was not guilty of financial improprieties were publicly published.</p><br>
<p>Brown closed the financially struggling Sulphur Springs school in 1951, and sold the campus and this home for little money, to William Cameron Townsend. His school in Siloam Springs remains today, as John Brown University.</p><br>
<h3>1951‒1964: SIL International</h3><br>
<p>William Townsend established the Summer Institute of Linguistics, or SIL International in Sulphur Springs in 1935, to train missionaries in linguistics and Biblical translation. By the 1950s, it had grown substantially and had training schools in several other English-speaking countries. They expanded in Sulphur Springs by buying the entire campus from Brown, including the home.</p><br>
<p>In 1964, they prepared move to Huntington Beach, California, and sold their Arkansas property. It first sold to a development company that went bankrupt, and then it sold to Shiloh Trust.</p><br>
<h3>1968‒present: Shiloh Church and Trust</h3><br>
<p>Shiloh Communities was a religious intentional community in Sherman, New York that supported itself with proceeds from several food-related businesses including a bakery, farm, and ranch, organized as a corporation named Shiloh Trust.</p><br>
<p>In 1968, looking for a more central area of the country from which to conduct their businesses, Shiloh Communities and Shiloh Trust bought the entire campus and the home. In 1972, they became Church of Shiloh. The home was used as a parsonage.</p><br>
<p>In 1988, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places. In 2017, Shiloh decided to use it for Shiloh Ministries, to foster boys age 14 to 21, and for a bakery business.</p><br>
<h2>Features</h2><br>
<p>This home is one of the largest examples of Bungalow/Craftsman-style architecture in the county. It is notable for its size, which was quite large for the time and location of its build: the house has a total of almost 5,000 square feet (464.5 square meters), and it sits on an 11.5 acre (4.65 hectare) property.</p><br>
<p>Set on a steeply sloping lot above Cliff Road, it is two stories at the front and three at the back, with a broad single-story porch which extends over a carport to the right. The porch is supported by supports that are a combination of brick piers and boxed columns, joined by a brick balustrade.</p><br>
<p>The Ayers Bank Building is a historic bank building located at 200 West State Street in Jacksonville, Illinois. This site is believed to have been continuously associated with banking since 1832, longer than any other site in Illinois.</p><br>
<h2>History of Ayers Bank Building</h2><br>
<p>Banking operations at the building site began with David Ayers who operated a merchant bank out of his drug store in the 1830s, and the Ayers family continued banking at this site throughout the 19th century. In 1910, when Millard Fillmore Dunlap and Andrew Russel bought a controlling interest in the business, Ayers Bank was one of the state&#39;s leading financial institutions. Dunlap and Russel hired architect Jarvis Hunt of Chicago to build the Ayers Bank Building on the same site where David Ayers had begun his banking business.</p><br>
<p>The bank continued to prosper until the 1930s, when Dunlap and Russel were convicted of illegal banking practices and went to prison. Depositors received 33 cents on the dollar and the federal government closed the bank in November 1932.</p><br>
<p>The Farmers State Bank & Trust Company bought the building for $53,000 at a foreclosure sale in 1939. The upper floors were rented to a series of dentists, physicians, and other professionals until 1985, when Farmers renovated the entire building for its exclusive use. As of 2017, the bank still has its headquarters at this site.</p><br>
<p>The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on November 20, 1986.</p><br>
<h2>Building architecture</h2><br>
<p>The Ayers Bank Building is the tallest building in downtown Jacksonville; it is tall and has eight stories. The building was the first steel-frame and reinforced concrete structure in Jacksonville. The building is in the Renaissance Revival style with a brick and cut stone exterior and a terra cotta egg-and-dart cornice.</p><br>
<p>The Thorn-Stingley House is a historic house in Homer, Alaska, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2001.</p><br>
<p>The house is a -story wood-frame structure, roughly rectangular in shape, with a side-gable roof and a full basement that includes a one-car garage. It is a local interpretation of the Bungalow style, with a pair of gable-roof dormers projecting from the front roof, and a projecting gable-roofed hood above the main entrance. The front facade is divided into three asymmetrical bays, with a grouping of three sash windows in the left bay (over the garage entrance), the entry in the center, and a single sash window to the right.</p><br>
<p>The Shores Warehouse is a historic commercial building on Main Street in Cave Springs, Arkansas. It is a two-story masonry building, built in 1911 out of concrete blocks, which have on two sides of the building been faced to resemble rusticated stone. Originally built as a commercial retail building, it has a single-story metal awning sheltering the ground floor, which is divided into six bays by concrete block stanchions. The outer two bays were originally plate glass like the others, but have been filled in. The front is topped by a pressed metal dentillated cornice. The building is little-altered commercial building of the period, and exemplifies the popular use of concrete blocks for construction in the region during the early 20th century.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.</p><br>
<p>The Seaholm Power Plant is a historic former power station located on the north shore of Lady Bird Lake in Downtown Austin, Texas. Opened in 1951, it is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and designated as a Recorded Texas Historic Landmark. The power plant ceased operation in 1996, and the facility and site were later redeveloped into a mixed-use district.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<h3>Operating power plant</h3><br>
<p>The Seaholm Power Plant was commissioned in 1948 to meet Austins growing demand for electric power. The engineering firm Burns & McDonnell designed the complex, which was constructed in two phases in 1951 and 1955. The facility originally included a turbine generator building, a water intake structure, and an oil heating building. A guard booth and a storage building were added to the site later. Originally called "Power Plant No. 2," on 2 June 1960 the plant was renamed posthumously for Walter E. Seaholm, a prominent figure in the administration of Austins municipal utilities.</p><br>
<p>Seaholm served as Austins sole source of electric power from 1950 to 1959, until demand outpaced the 120 megawatts the plant could generate with all five boilers running. As other stations were built the citys reliance on Seaholm waned, and in 1989 the plant stopped providing power to the city, though it was used as a training facility until 1996, when it closed entirely.</p><br>
<h3>Redevelopment</h3><br>
<p>The site lay dormant until 2004, when the Austin City Council requested proposals for redevelopment partners. Several firms and consultancies formed an organization called "Seaholm Power, LLC", which was designated in April 2005 to lead redevelopment of the defunct power plant and the surrounding site. A master development agreement was reached with the city in April 2008 specifying the renovations and new construction that would be undertaken.</p><br>
<p>Work began on the plant&#39;s redevelopment in mid-2013. The interior of the turbine generator building was converted to a mixture of office, retail and restaurant space, with tenants occupying the facility beginning in 2015. A residential tower called Seaholm Residences was constructed at the west end of the site, also opening in 2015., the city has not selected a final plan for the redevelopment of the water intake facility.</p><br>
<h2>Power generation</h2><br>
<p>Seaholm was a semi-outdoor power plant, with its boilers outdoors but its generators inside the turbine generator building. It ultimately housed five Westinghouse turbine generators; the plant was originally built with two 20-megawatt generators and later expanded with two more 20-megawatt units and then one larger 40-megawatt unit. Seaholm was built with underground ash pits to accommodate coal-firing, but in fact the plant never ran on coal; the oil heating building and underground fuel tanks also allowed the plant to burn crude oil, yet over its operating lifetime it was fired primarily with natural gas.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<h3>Turbine generator building</h3><br>
<p>The largest building (which formerly housed the turbine generators) stands three stories high and faces southward, toward the lake. The exterior surface of the building is of structural cast-in-place reinforced concrete, punctuated by two south-facing doors and numerous large industrial windows. Metal Art Moderne-style lettering on glass-block panels above the two entryways reads "City of Austin," and additional letters atop the awnings over the entryways read "Light" (above the west door) and "Power" (above the east door). The west facade carries additional metal lettering reading "City of Austin Power Plant." The north facade of the building is dominated by the five external boilers and their tall smokestacks. The building&#39;s interior is divided into four levels centered on the vast two-story turbine room.</p><br>
<h3>Water intake structure</h3><br>
<p>The water intake structure sits on the shore of Lady Bird Lake directly south of the turbine generator building. The structure shares many design and architectural elements with the generator building, with exposed structural concrete walls and large industrial windows opening into a vast interior space. The south face of the building rises two stories above the lake, with ten sluice gates through which cooling water for the plant&#39;s steam condensers was taken in. This water was pumped to the generator building through massive underground pipes; after being used as coolant the water was discharged into nearby Shoal Creek.</p><br>
<p>The Tuscumbia Historic District is a historic district in Tuscumbia, Alabama. The district contains 461 contributing properties and covers about 232 acres  of the towns original area. The first white settlers in Tuscumbia built a village next to Big Spring, at the site of what is today Spring Park. Many settlers, many from Virginia and Maryland, began to emigrate to The Shoals in the 1820s and 1830s. The oldest houses in the district are Tidewater-type cottages, a style native to the Middle Atlantic. Also built during the towns early period are some of the oldest commercial buildings in Alabama, including the Morgan-Donilan Building  and a seven-building block known as Commercial Row . The town&#39;s economy declined in the 1840s, when many farmers left seeking more fertile soil, through the Civil War and Reconstruction.</p><br>
<p>Recovery came in the 1880s and 1890s, driven by industrial development in neighboring Sheffield. The majority of commercial buildings date from the 1880s through the 1930s, while residential buildings of the period display styles such as Queen Anne, Folk Victorian, Bungalow, and Tudor Revival. Other notable buildings in the district include the Colbert County Courthouse, built in 1909; St. John&#39;s Episcopal Church, built in 1852 as one of the earliest Carpenter Gothic churches in Alabama; and Deshler Stadium, a Works Projects Administration project completed in 1941.</p><br>
<p>The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.</p><br>
<p>The Patrick B. Cole Fairbanks City Hall, also known as Main School and Old Main for its previous use as a school building, is located at 800 Cushman Street in downtown Fairbanks, Alaska. An Art Deco concrete building, it was built in 1934 to replace the original Fairbanks school, a wooden building constructed in 1907 which burned down in late 1932. As Fairbanks grew exponentially with the military buildup associated with World War II and the Cold War, the building was enlarged in 1939 and again in 1948.</p><br>
<p>It was the city&#39;s only school from its opening in 1934 until the opening of Denali Elementary School in 1951. It became a junior/senior high school for several years until Lathrop High School began operation. The school then became Main Junior High School until it was replaced by Ryan Junior High School and Tanana Junior High School during the early 1970s.</p><br>
<p>Following the disestablishment of Main Junior High, instruction in the building was mostly limited to alternative education programs. The buildings primary purpose at that point was to house the administrative offices of the Fairbanks North Star Borough School District, a role it filled from 1976 until 1993. Most of those offices moved to the school districts current Fifth Avenue headquarters in the mid 1980s, and the building sat largely vacant for many years, eventually being completely abandoned.</p><br>
<p>The building has housed city offices since 1994, which moved from the longtime Fairbanks City Hall three blocks to the north. In addition to city offices, the former school gymnasium is home to the Fairbanks Boys & Girls Club. Previous non-governmental tenants of the building under city ownership have included the Fairbanks Boxing Club and the Greater Fairbanks Chamber of Commerce.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990 as Main School.</p><br>
<p>The William M. Shaw House is a historic house located at 40 Norris Street in Greenville, Maine, which now houses the Greenville Inn. Built in 1895, it is a handsome and elaborate example of Queen Anne architecture in a rural small-town setting. The house was designed by Edwin E. Lewis of Gardiner, with alterations by Wilfred E. Mansur of Bangor. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2013 for its architecture, and for its association with William Shaw, a leading lumber businessman active in Greenville in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, whose business interests also included ownership of the steamer Katahdin.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Shaw House is set on a hill a short way south of Greenville&#39;s central business district, which is at the southern tip of Moosehead Lake. The 4.5 acre property includes, in addition to the main house, a period carriage house and six guest cottages built when the property was converted to an inn. The house is a large, basically rectangular, block, facing Norris Street to the south and connected to the carriage house to the east. It has a hip roof that is studded on the south with two projecting gable sections and on each on the west and north side. A hip-roof dormer projects from the roof between the gable sections on the south. The projecting gable sections top polygonal bays, and have closed pediments with paired sash windows at the center, surrounded by a field of decorative cut wood shingles. There is a single-story porch on the west end, supported by round columns, with a balustraded second level. A single-story open porch also runs along most of the south facade, up to a porte-cochere-style main entrance near the back of the original main block, where it meets the ell connecting the house to the carriage house.</p><br>
<p>William M. Shaw (1861-1936) was a leading lumber businessman in Greenville. He operated a saw mill, lumber yard, and retail store in the center of town, and his M. G. Shaw Company owner large tracts of timberland. The Shaw Company also operated the steamer Katahdin, which not only hauled lumber across the lake, but also ferried passengers to the Mount Kineo Resort area. Shaw hired Gardiner-based architect Edwin. E. Lewis to design his home, which was built starting in about 1890, and is one of the most opulent houses in Piscataquis County. The house underwent major expansion around 1905, designed by Bangor architect Wilfred E. Mansur, who Shaw had also hired to build his office building in the town as well as the commercial Shaw Block. Mansurs alterations included a substantial enlargement of the carriage house and construction of the ell joining the main house. The house was converted for use as an inn in the mid-20th century, at which time two of the propertys cabins were built. The other cabins are all late-20th century additions.</p><br>
<p>Nannau is a historic summer estate house in Bar Harbor, Maine. Located between Maine State Route 3 and overlooking Compass Harbor, this 1904 Shingle style house was built for David R. Ogden, a New York City lawyer, to designs by the Boston firm Andrews, Jaques and Rantoul. The house was characterized in 1906 as "an excellent example of shingle work&quot it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Nannau is set on the south side of a private drive, south of the main village of Bar Harbor, and located between Maine State Route 3 and Compass Harbor, an inlet off Frenchman Bay. It has a two-story rectangular main block, oriented northwest to southeast, with projecting ells at both ends. It has a steeply-pitched hip roof, with projecting -story gable sections on the main land-side facade, flanking a smaller single-story entry portico with its own steeply-pitched hip roof with a flared edge. The walls are finished in wood shingles.</p><br>
<p>Nannau was designed by the Boston architectural firm of Andrews, Jaques, and Rantoul, who were responsible for the design of a number of Bar Harbors finest summer estates. It was built in 1904 for David R. Ogden, a New York lawyer who helped found Saint Saviours Church in Bar Harbor, and who gained a national reputation for his philanthropic work with the American Red Cross during the First World War. The house was featured in a 1906 edition of The Country House, in which it was described as "an excellent example of shingle work". The house in recent years was used as a bed and breakfast that is now closed. Currently it is a private residence.</p><br>
<p>The Mo-Ark Baptist Academy was a Baptist Christian school in Blue Eye, Arkansas. It is located just south of the western end of Park Street, not far from the state line with Blue Eye, Missouri. It is a large T-shaped two-story brick building with a hip roof, built in 1918 to house what was initially called the Carroll County Institute. At first funded by the Arkansas Baptist Convention and the Southern Baptist Convention, it eventually also received funding from Missouri Baptists, and was renamed . The school was later expanded to include both boys and girls dormitories; the latter still stands nearby. The school closed its doors in 1931; the building was used by the Green Forest School District as an elementary school into the 1950s, and has since seen intermittent use as a community center.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1996.</p><br>
<p>The Mulladay Hollow Bridge is a stone arch bridge in rural Carroll County, Arkansas. It carries County Road 204 across Mulladay Hollow Creek, near the southwestern tip of Lake Leatherwood It has two spans, and is built out of roughly square and semi-coursed fieldstone. The arches are elliptical in shape, 9 ft in height and 9.5 ft wide, with nearly-square voussoirs forming the arches. The barrels of the arches are skewed with respect to the spandrels, and the wing walls are slightly curved. The roadway carried by the bridge is 30 ft wide, and the total length of the structure is 120 ft. The bridge was built with Works Progress Administration funding as part of the development of Lake Leatherwood as a recreation area.</p><br>
<p>The bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.</p><br>
<p>The Island Falls Opera House is a historic multipurpose building at the junction of Old Patten Road, Burleigh Street and Sewall Street in the center of the small town of Island Falls, Maine. Built in 1894, the building included retail, performance, and residential spaces, and is a type of building that was once common and is now rare in rural Maine. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984. Until recently the building sat vacant and unused. Since the sale of the building in December 2020, the Opera House has seen much cleanup and repair activity.</p><br>
<p>The new owners, The Hartin’s, who lived in Crystal, Maine, just a few miles from the building, plan to revitalize the property and open the theater and storefront back up to the community. The building will also house two Inn Room rental units similar to a hotel accommodation for folks visiting and traveling through to stay per night, weekend and even monthly stay basis. There will be no long term occupancy rentals in the building.</p><br>
<p>The Hartin’s now reside in the house wing full time, since renovations have been completed to the living quarters in that area of the building.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Island Falls Opera House is a large, roughly L-shaped wood frame building, which occupies a prominent lot overlooking a major intersection in the center of Island Falls. One leg of the L runs north-south, and is 2-1/2 stories in height, with a front-gable roof. The front facade has a projecting single-story section with a flat roof, behind which the second floor facade has a central Palladian-style three-part window at the center, and narrow windows flanking and in the gable above. On the side walls of this section there are three bays, most with narrow sash windows, then a repeat of the Palladian-style windows, which are topped by cross-gables at the roof line, and then additional bays with narrow sash windows. The rear section of the building has a gable roof running east-west and is 3-1/2 stories in height.</p><br>
<p>The interior of the southern leg originally had a general store and the theater entrance on the ground floor. The store section still retains original wooden counters and shelving, while the theater lobby has the original ticket booth. The theater occupies most of the upper levels of the building, and includes original seating and wall decorations. The lower sections of the rear portion have a living area that has retained original woodwork, including a stairway with an elaborate newell post, and a decorative arch leading into the parlor.</p><br>
<p>The hall was built in 1894 by Columbus Lamb Pettengill and his son on land purchased from W. W. Sewall, a major local landowner, whose deeds of sale disallowed the sale of alcohol. The performance venue was a major local entertainment space, and was adapted for the showing of motion pictures in the 1920s. The property now stands vacant.</p><br>
<p>The Springfield to Fayetteville Road-Cross Hollow Segment is a 2 mi section of a historic 19th-century road in Benton County, Arkansas. The road is now designated Old Wire Road, and the historic segment runs northward from its junction with County Road 620, northeast of Lowell. This road bed is a part of one of the first roads built in the area, running from Fayetteville, Arkansas to Springfield, Missouri. Built in 1835, the road bed has its original width  and original embankments. The road is notable as part of the northern route of the Trail of Tears, when Native Americans living east of the Mississippi River were forcibly relocated to what is now Oklahoma, and for its use in military operations during the American Civil War. It is the longest known intact segment of the Trail of Tears in Arkansas.</p><br>
<p>The road segment was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2005.</p><br>
<p>The Springfield to Fayetteville Road-Elkhorn Tavern Segment is a section of historic 19th-century roadway in Pea Ridge National Military Park in northwestern Arkansas. It is a dirt road, about 1 mi long and 18 to 20 ft wide, that was built in 1835. The first major road through northwestern Arkansas, it connected Fayetteville, Arkansas with Springfield, Missouri. The road was part of the major northern route of the Trail of Tears, the forcible remove in the late 1830s of Native Americans from east of the Mississippi River to what is now Oklahoma. The road was also actively used by both Union and Confederate forces during the American Civil War, and was the major route of advance by Confederate forces leading to the Battle of Pea Ridge, whose battlefield is preserved by the park.</p><br>
<p>The road segment was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2005.</p><br>
<p>The Stack Barn is an unusual and historic barn in Benton County, Arkansas. It is located near Monte Ne about 500 ft south of Arkansas Highway 94 1.5 mi east of its junction with the spur route of AR 94 leading to the old Monte Ne resort area. Built in 1901, the barn&#39;s features are an amalgam of styles found from Pennsylvania to the American South. It is rectangular in shape, with a tin gabled roof that has a slight projection near the top at one end , and board-and-batten siding. Unlike typical Arkansas barns, it is set on slope with a stone foundation, creating a bank barn with an accessible basement more typical of northeastern barns, and necessitating a proper floor  for the main level. The interior is laid out like a fairly typical 19th-century midwestern three-portal barn.</p><br>
<p>The barn was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.</p><br>
<p>The Hope Girl Scout Little House is a historic log house near the junction of Jones Street and Fair Park in Hope, Arkansas. It is a single-story log structure, built in 1938 with funding from the Works Progress Administration. It was designed by Washington, DC architect Donn Barber as a demonstration home for a family with modest income, and afterward served for a quarter century as the principal meeting place of the local Girl Scout organization.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2015.</p><br>
<p>The Tuscumbia Landing Site is a historic port site in Sheffield, Alabama. The landing was established in 1824 at the mouth of Spring Creek on the Tennessee River. As large craft could not navigate Spring Creek to reach Tuscumbia, the landing was built to transfer goods to and from the town. The New Orleans and Tuscumbia Steamboat Company was created in 1825, and connected The Shoals with towns on the Mississippi and Ohio Rivers. Wagons were used to haul goods between the landing and the town until a horse-drawn railroad, the first railroad west of the Appalachian Mountains, was built from 1831 to 1832. The line was later extended to Decatur in 1834, bypassing the treacherous shoals on the Tennessee River, and was renamed the Tuscumbia, Courtland and Decatur Railroad. The landing was also a stop for many Muscogee and Cherokee along the Trail of Tears.</p><br>
<p>During the Civil War, the landing was heavily damaged in April 1862 by Colonel John Basil Turchins troops; it was completely destroyed by General Grenville M. Dodge in April 1863, in the lead-up to Streights Raid. Following the war, Florence became the port of choice in the Shoals, as the warehouses at Tuscumbia were never rebuilt. The site contains six limestone foundations of the main depot along the river, as well as foundation walls of a terminal at the top of a bluff and the remnants of a wagon road. The depot was built in 1832, and was three stories tall. A floating wharf was connected to the uppermost floor of the building, while the two lower floors were used for storage.</p><br>
<p>The site was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
<p>The William Winston House is a historic residence in Tuscumbia, Alabama. Construction was begun in the early 1800s by merchant Clark T. Barton and finished in 1824 by planter William Winston. Winstons son, John A. Winston, was Governor of Alabama from 1854 until 1857; Winstons daughter married another Governor, Robert B. Lindsay. The house remained in the family until 1948, when it was sold to the city, which constructed a new campus for Deshler High School around the house.</p><br>
<p>The two-story brick house has a hipped roof with two chimneys on each side. The brick on all sides is laid in Flemish bond. The five-bay façade features a single-height portico flanked by 2 non-original nine-over-nine windows on each floor. The portico is supported by four Tuscan columns, and covers a front door that is surrounded by a transom and sidelights. The deck above has a short balustrade, and the original French door has been replaced with a window with sidelights. The interior is laid out in a center-hall plan with two rooms on either side. A spiral staircase runs from the first floor all the way to the attic.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
<p>The Diversion Dam and Deer Flat Embankments is the collective name given in the USA National Register of Historic Places program to a set of three dams in the western United States in southwestern Idaho, near Boise and Nampa.</p><br>
<p>The dams are components of the USA Bureau of Reclamation&#39;s Boise Project, and were designed to provide irrigation water to 500,000 acre of Treasure Valley farmland in conjunction with the New York Irrigation District (New York Canal). The Boise River Diversion Dam also provides hydroelectric generation capacity. The dams were listed on the National Register in 1976.</p><br>

<p>The Rangeley Trust Company Building is a historic former bank building at 60 Main Street in the center of Rangeley, Maine. It now houses the Rangeley Lakes Region Historical Society Museum. It is a single-story brick Classical Revival building, designed by William R. Miller and built in 1905-06. It was Rangeleys first brick commercial building, and housed its first bank. From 1922 to 1979 it served as Rangeleys town hall. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Rangeley Trust Company Building stands facing roughly east on the west side of Main Street (Maine State Route 4) in the center of Rangeley village. It is a small single-story brick structure, three bays wide, with a flat roof and a concrete foundation. The entrance is in the center bay topped by a dentillated pediment. It is flanked by plate glass windows topped by transom windows, which are framed by brick pilasters. The facade is topped by a broad entablature and wooden cornice, with a low brick parapet above. The main space in the interior, originally the bank lobby and teller area, is finished with tongue-and-groove wainscoting. Toward the rear of the building there is a vault, the office of the bank president, and stairs leading to the basement. The basement has a small metal jail cell located beneath the vault.</p><br>
<p>The town of Rangeley was established in 1860, but experienced significant growth in the late 19th century with the advent of outdoor vacation activity spurred by the adjacent Rangeley Lakes reputation as a fishing locale. The Rangeley Trust Company was founded in 1905 by Harry Furbish, a local businessman active in both lumbering and insurance, as a vehicle to finance the areas economic development. Furbish retained Lewiston architect William R. Miller to design this Classical Revival building, which opened for business in 1906. Furbish operated his businesses out this building until 1922, when the bank moved to larger quarters. It was then converted for use as town hall (around which time the basement jail cell was added). In 1979 the town gave the building to the local historical society, which now uses it as its headquarters and museum.</p><br>

<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.</p><br>
<p>The Fromm Brothers Fur and Ginseng Farm is a farm complex in the Town of Hamburg, Marathon County, Wisconsin where four brothers pioneered ginseng farming starting in 1904, and used the profits to develop silver fox farming. By 1929 they were the worlds largest producer of both products. The farm was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2013, considered significant at a national level because of the brothers innovations in ginseng farming and in fur production and marketing.</p><br>
<h2>Beginnings</h2><br>
<p>By 1901 the Fromm/Nieman family had been farming in Hamburg for decades. While farming, some of the sons had been trapping red fox for supplemental income. Furs of wild animals were a popular part of fashionable clothes at the time, and they brought a good price. More valuable than red fox was the silver fox, a sport of the red fox. In 1901, the brothers read in Hunter Trapper magazine about a silver fox pelt that sold in London for $1200, the price of many Wisconsin farms at the time. Four of the brothers made a pact to raise silver foxes. They were Walter, Edward, John and Henry Fromm, and these eight to thirteen-year-old boys began calling themselves "The Company." But to get fox-breeding off the ground, they needed money.</p><br>
<p>Wild ginseng had been collected in the forests of North America for hundreds of years, for sale to China. Reinhold Dietsch, a neighbor of the Fromms, was experimenting with cultivating it, and he shared with the brothers how to plant the roots in beds and how to build lath arbors over the plants to simulate the shade of the forest. In 1904 the brothers planted some wild roots they had found in their mother&#39;s garden. When their father refused to give them lath to use for their crazy scheme, they bought it themselves. When they asked for more land to plant on, he offered them only a rock pile. They moved the rocks and planted. To grow more ginseng, the brothers needed to plant seeds, rather than the few roots they found in the forest. This required a tricky process of germinating seeds in layers of sand buried in boxes for a year, which they learned from Eastern ginseng growers. Ginseng roots take about five years to mature, and the first crop grown from seeds was finally harvested in 1912. In 1915 they harvested a half acre, and it sold for $3,500.</p><br>
<p>The silver fox is not a separate species, but is a genetic variant born occasionally to red foxes. Since the silver is rare in the wild, it is more valuable than red fox. In the 1880s some men on Prince Edward Island tried breeding silver fox to each other in captivity, and managed to produce more silver fox pelts to sell. Their production technique was kept a secret until one of the silver foxes escaped, and led hounds back to their secret farm. By 1909, other fox farms were operating on Prince Edward Island.</p><br>
<p>Back in Wisconsin, in 1909 the Fromm brothers managed to buy or catch twelve red foxes. They paired them up in pens, hoping they would produce pups – maybe a silver pup. No pups appeared that first year. The next year twelve red fox pups were born. A red fox pelt was worth $20 at the time – far from the $1200 silver pelt they had read about. A pair of silver fox would be reasonably likely to produce silver pups, but a breeding pair cost about $35,000. They couldn&#39;t afford that, but a friendly dealer (James Kane) sold them a black fox and a red fox with silver ancestors for $550. This pair bore pups in 1912, but they were red. Kane sold them another similar breeding pair, but the male ate the female in shipment. They bought a replacement for that female, and in 1913 one of these pairs produced four red pups, and finally one silver! That year two of the brothers chiseled in the rock at the top of nearby Rib Mountain: John and Henry Fromm Pioneer Breeders of Silver Foxes 1913</p><br>
<p>But still, they had only one true silver fox. The brothers decided that to get more silver fox, they must simply spend the money for more breeding animals. In 1915 James Kane had three silver fox available for $6,500. The ginseng hadn&#39;t produced that much money yet. While their father was gone to Iowa, the brothers talked their mother into borrowing the money for them. The family farm had been her dowry and was still in her name, so she mortgaged it, for $6,500. Unfortunately, a month later when the first World War began, the price of both furs and ginseng plummeted. Those three silver fox were suddenly worth only $1,000 and ginseng worth a third what it had been. But in the following months, while other fox breeders folded, the Fromms bought more breeding stock at low prices. The next year their farm produced seventeen silver fox pups, and 25 the next. By the end of the war, prices were rebounding and they were producing more and more pelts.</p><br>
<p>While struggling with fox, the brothers also faced challenges in growing ginseng. When the seedlings got blight, they sprayed them with slaked lime and blue vitriol. By 1915 they had three acres of ginseng. For root-washing in the fall, they powered a water pump with a car engine, and they initially dried the roots in their houses attic. For the labor-intensive planting and harvesting, they hired teen-aged men and women, and organized them into teams. When they needed forest loam for growing ginseng, they found that they could produce acceptable loam by plowing under green oats. In 1918, when their harvest had outgrown the houses attic, their father loaned them $1,500 to build a drying building, with a heating system and space for grinding fox food. (They had made him a believer.) When half the ginseng crop spoiled in that new building, they installed fans and split the processing into two phases. The successful ginseng harvest in 1915 helped pay off the mortgage on the farm. In 1919 their ginseng sold for $40,000, and they had become the biggest producer in the USA</p><br>
<h2>Success, and ongoing challenges</h2><br>
<p>In 1920 the Fromms businessman-banker cousin John Nieman and his son Edwin partnered with them, investing in their company by buying silver fox breeding stock. In the same year, the Fromm brothers sister Erna married Edwin Nieman, and the Fromms gave the couple ten pairs of silver fox as dowry. They moved twenty-four pairs of silver fox to the Nieman farm in Thiensville. The company was now called "Fromm Bros. Nieman Company."</p><br>
<p>They noticed that the foxes in Thiensville generally produced larger litters, probably due to the gentler climate. On the other hand, the fox in Marathon county generally developed nicer pelts, probably due to the colder winter. Aware of this, the company moved all the breeding pairs to Thiensville and began trucking most of the young foxes up to Marathon County each fall for finishing.</p><br>
<p>By 1922 the operation at Hamburg was employing so many people that they built the boarding house. In 1923 they built the dairy barn to feed their workers, and in 1924 the bunk house.</p><br>
<p>Through the 1920s, the ginseng crops brought from $45,000 to $115,000 per year. The expanding operation needed more space, so the Fromms bought several neighboring farms. In 1921, Walter came up with a labor-saving way to spray the ginseng with a hose reel on a horse-drawn cart. From 1923 to 1926 their seeds rotted during germination, so they reverted to an earlier stratification technique. When their acreage grew too large for hand-planting, Walter and straw-boss Herbert Kleinschmidt constructed a semi-automated 13-row ginseng planter that could plant three acres per day.</p><br>
<p>The brothers tinkered with the diet of the fox. In 1915 an outbreak of rickets had hit their animals. At that time they were feeding the fox a lot of horse meat, but after deboning it. Henry suspected that the lack of bones caused the rickets. They tried adding ground bones to the diet and the rickets problem faded. By 1922 they had diversified the diet to include beef, mutton, veal, woodchuck, rabbit, fish, eggs, milk, bread, vegetables, and fruit. They were careful about sanitation for their valuable fox. Over time, they decided that one feeding a day was sufficient.</p><br>
<p>In 1924 and 1925 some of the fox got sick and died. After ruling out food poisoning, the Fromms suspected distemper, and funded investigation by Dr. Robert G. Green from the University of Minnesota. Over the course of a decade, Green found encephalitis in the fox herd and created a vaccine for it. He also found distemper among the fox, and developed a serum against it. It wasn&#39;t quite ready in 1938 when distemper began to rip through the Hamburg farm. In desperation, Green and the Fromms administered the not-quite-ready vaccine. It worked, stopping the epidemic. Green and the Fromms conducted this work through a venture that eventually became Fromm Labs, which patented these vaccines.</p><br>
<p>In the 1930s the price of ginseng dropped due to the Great Depression and problems in China. Many other USA ginseng growers gave up on the crop, but Edward had visited China in 1930 and believed the market would rebound, so the Fromms stockpiled their harvest in barrels and continued to plant new acreage every year. Fourteen years later the Fromms were vindicated when World War II ended and the market for ginseng revived. They sold their stockpile for a million dollars, and planted more.</p><br>

<p>Pilgrim Hot Springs is a ghost town in the interior of the Seward Peninsula of northwestern Arctic Alaska. Also known as Kruzgamepa, it is located on the southeast bank of the Kruzgamepa River, about 8 mi south of milepost 65 of the Kougarok Road. The location gained prominence in the early 20th century because of its thermal hot springs, which made agricultural homesteading possible, and which were adapted to provide a respite for the gold miners of Nome. Early buildings, built 1900–03, were of log construction, and included a log cabin, barn and chicken house. A roadhouse and saloon were built after 1903, but were destroyed by fire in 1908, after the mining boom had ended.</p><br>
<p>After the flu epidemic of 1918, the Roman Catholic Diocese of Nome built a large orphanage at the site, complete with a large church, dormitory and school, and living quarters for the staff, as well as greenhouses. These facilities were kept warm by water piped from the hot springs. The site was closed in 1941, but soon reopened as a recreational facility for the military, serving until the end of World War II. When surveyed in 1977 prior to listing on the National Register of Historic Places, the buildings on the site were in deteriorated condition. The site is owned by Unaataq LLC, a consortium of area Alaska native corporations which is working on development alternatives for the site, including power generation and tourism.</p><br>
<h2>Demographics</h2><br>
<p>Pilgrim Hot Springs only appeared on the 1940 USA Census as the unincorporated village of "Pilgrim Springs." It was reported that it was an "all-Eskimo" settlement at that time. It has not appeared on the census since.</p><br>
<p>The Skowhegan History House is a historic house and museum at 66 Elm Street in Skowhegan, Maine. Built in 1839, this two-story brick house is one of the few of that period to survive Skowhegan&#39;s industrialization later in the 19th century. The house has served as a local history museum since 1937. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The History House is set on the south side of Elm Street, between it and the Kennebec River, at the junction of Elm with Norridgewock Avenue and Pleasant Street. It is a two-story brick structure, five bays wide, with a side-gable roof and two end chimneys. The brick is laid in a modified English bond, with seven rows of stretchers followed by a course of headers. Its Greek Revival styling includes a simple cornice and returns at the gable ends, sidelight windows and pilasters flanking the main entrance, and granite sills and lintels. A fireproof museum wing was added to the rear of the house in 1935.</p><br>
<p>The house was built in 1839 by Abner Spear, a blacksmith, and was a fairly typical small workers house of the period. Most similar buildings in Skowhegan were lost due to the citys industrialization over the remainder of the 19th century. The house was acquired by Louise Coburn, a local historian, who in 1937, opened its doors as a museum. The rear addition, added at that time, was executed with sympathetic techniques and styling.</p><br>
<p>The museum is open Tuesday-Friday between June and September, or by appointment. Its collections are focused on local history, and include unique documents and artifacts.</p><br>
<p>The Old Hancock County Buildings are a pair of Greek Revival buildings on Court Street, at a triangular intersection with USA Route 1  and Maine State Route 172 in Ellsworth, Maine. Originally built in 1834 and 1838 to house Ellsworth Town Hall and the Hancock County courthouse, they are now owned and occupied by the Courthouse Art Gallery. The buildings were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1977.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The former courthouse and town hall occupy a triangular parcel of land bounded by Court Street, US 1, and Maine State Route 172, across the Union River from Ellsworth&#39;s central business district. Most of the lot is grassy, sloping up to Court Street, where the courthouse stands to the south and the town hall to the north. Both buildings face the green to the east. The courthouse has a first floor of brick, but both buildings are otherwise wooden frame, 1-1/2 stories in height, with a side gable roof, clapboard siding, and a granite foundation. In both cases the roof extends over an arcade in the Doric order at both the front and rear of the building; that of the courthouse has eight columns, while that of the town hall has six. The courthouse front has two large gable-roof dormers in the front, with paired double windows topped by a small lunette; a similar dormer appears on the rear.</p><br>
<p>The triangular parcel on which the buildings stand was given to the town in 1833 by the Hebert family, with the proviso that the town hall be built there, and the county courthouse, should Ellsworth be chosen as Hancock County&#39;s county seat. The town hall was built in 1834; after the town was named county seat in 1837, it and the property were transferred to the county, which built the courthouse in 1838. The county used the buildings as a courthouse and registry until 1886, when those facilities were moved to newer and larger quarters. This property was given back to the city, which repurposed the courthouse as a high school, later expanding into the former town hall, joining the two building via an unheated covered passage. The school closed in 1924, and the buildings were subsequently condemned due to their deteriorating condition. Public outcry forestalled this, and the buildings were gradually rehabilitated in the 1960s, seeing occasional use by community organizations.</p><br>
<p>The courthouse was sold to private owners in 2005, with preservation restrictions, and is now operated as the Courthouse Gallery. The gallery has since expanded into the adjacent former town hall.</p><br>
<p>Quigleys Castle is a historic house museum and garden at 274 Quigley Castle Road, off Arkansas Highway 23 south of Eureka Springs, Arkansas, and is one of the most unusual houses in northwestern Arkansas. The house was designed by Elise Quigley and built in 1943 by Albert Quigley and a neighbor, using lumber from the property. The exterior of the house is decorated with the collection of rocks Elise Quigley had accumulated since childhood. The house was specifically designed by Quigley to accommodate a two-story space for tropical plants. Over the years Elise Quigleys gardens expanded to take over much of the property. In 1950 the family began charging admission to tour the home, a practice that continues today.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2003.</p><br>
<p>The Sanitarium Lake Bridges Historic District encompasses a pair of stone arch bridges on Carroll County Road 317  in southern Eureka Springs, Arkansas.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Built in 1891 by the Eureka Sanitarium Company to provide access to its resort, they are the only known stone arch bridges in the county, and two of a small number of known surviving stone arch bridges in the entire state. Both bridges are single-span arches fashioned out of cut stone. Marble Bridge, the northern one, has a span of 44 ft across a ravine, while the Lake Bridge has a span of 22 ft over a normally dry creek bed.</p><br>
<p>The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2010.</p><br>
<p>The Stamps Store is a historic commercial building on Arkansas Highway 103 in Osage, Arkansas, a hamlet off United States Route 412 between Alpena and Huntsville. It is a -story stone structure, with a front-gable roof, and vernacular Romanesque Revival styling. The first floor was originally a large open retail space used as a general store, the second floor was a residential space for the proprietor, and the upper half-story was a meeting space. It was built 1899-1902 by Willie and Millie Sneed, and was operated by the Stamps family from 1912 to 1990. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990 for its architecture and its historical importance to the small community.</p><br>
