<p>The Johnson Barn is a historic barn in rural Washington County, Arkansas, southwest of the city of Fayetteville. It is located in an agricultural area north of County Road 202 and west of Arkansas Highway 265 . The barn was designed by Benjamin F. Johnson III, who had studied landscape architecture at Harvard University, and was designed after studying barns throughout the region to accumulate best practices in barn design into a single structure. The barn was built in 1933 and used by the family until the 1970s. Notable features include its comparatively large size, hinged loft doors, separate cattle entrances, truss-supported roof, hay hood, and lack of interior supports.</p><br>
<p>The barn was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.</p><br>
<p>The Johnson Switch Building is a historic commercial building in 3201 Main Street in Johnson, Arkansas, USA. Built in 1904, it is a single-story structure with a pressed-metal facade designed to resemble brickwork, and a gable roof obscured by a stepped parapet. Named for a nearby railroad switch, it is the oldest surviving commercial building in the small community&#39;s downtown area.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.</p><br>
<p>The E. Fay and Gus Jones House is a historic house at 1330 North Hillcrest in Fayetteville, Arkansas. It is a two-story structure, fieldstone on the first level and sheathed in redwood board-and-batten siding on the second, with a broad gabled roof. The house was designed by the architect E. Fay Jones as his family residence, and was completed in 1956. It was the first Jones design to be built, and demonstrated the principles of organic architecture that Jones would espouse through his career. Jones&#39; mentor Frank Lloyd Wright spoke approvingly of the house after visiting it in 1958.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000.</p><br>
<p>The house has been recently restored and is now open for limited public tours. The restoration project is a collaboration between the Fay Jones School of Architecture and Design and the Tesseract Center for Immersive Environments and Game Design at the University of Arkansas.</p><br>
<p>The Japanese Elementary School for Ponapean Children is a historic school building in Kolonia, the capital of Pohnpei State in the Federated States of Micronesia. The surviving building is one of two reinforced concrete buildings, constructed c. 1920-21 by the Japanese authorities of the South Seas Mandate, which included the island of Pohnpei, then known as "Ponape". These buildings were the sole educational facility on the island for native children, those of Japanese dependents attending a separate, segregated facility. They were heavily damaged by bombing during World War II, with one of them being demolished and the other restored for use as part of the island&#39;s hospital.</p><br>
<p>The property was listed on the United States National Register of Historic Places, when Pohnpei was part of the US-administered Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands.</p><br>
<p>The Upper Dallas School is a historic former school building in, and the present town hall for, Dallas Plantation, Maine. Located on Dallas Mountain Road, it is the best-preserved of two surviving district schoolhouses built by the small community, and has apparently served as town hall since its construction . The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Upper Dallas School is set on the north side of Dallas Mountain Road, adjacent to a large public works building opposite its junction with Herrick Farm Road. It is a single-story wood frame structure, with a front-gable roof, clapboard siding, and a rubblestone foundation. The front facade is symmetrically arranged, with two widely spaced entrances and a central sash window, framed by simple trim with modest entablatures. The building has thin cornerboards, and the front-facing gable has cornice with simple returns. A small ell extends the building to the rear. The west elevation has a single window, while the east side has eight. The interior features a pair of narrow vestibules opening into a large chamber, which has a raised platform (presumably for a teacher&#39;s desk) in the space between the vestibules. The vestibules and main chamber both feature pressed tin ceilings. The ell houses a storage space for town records, and for pit toilets at the rear.</p><br>
<p>Town records are sketchy as to when this particular building was built. Dallas Plantation was organized in 1845, and an 1861 map shows a school building standing at or near this site. However, the parcel of land on which this building stands was purchased by the town in 1888, and the building is stylistically of a later 19th-century period. The town also built a second school in 1895 (known as the "Lower Dallas School"), which has been converted into a residence. The exact period for which it was used as a school is unknown; local lore maintains that it has been used continuously since its construction for town meetings (notwithstanding a 1939 WPA history claiming its use for that purpose ended in 1929). It is one of the small community&#39;s only surviving 19th-century buildings.</p><br>
<p>Shore Acres is a historic former summer hotel at 791 Lamoine Beach Road in Lamoine, Maine. With a possible construction history dating to about 1800, it is one of the coastal community&#39;s oldest buildings, and is the only surviving 19th-century hostelry in the town. Extensively altered in 1887 and operated as an inn between 1887 and 1942 as the Des Isles Inn, it is now a summer rental property, located within walking distance of Lamoine Beach State Park. The property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Shore Acres is set on the south side of Lamoine Beach Road, near its eastern end in the southern part of the town, between the Lamoine Beach State Park campground and beach parking area. It is a 2-1/2 story wood frame building that now has relatively vernacular styling. It has a side-gable roof which has a projecting section at the western (right) end, wooden clapboard siding, and an open hip-roofed porch extending across its front (north-facing) facade. Shed-roof additions (both enclosed porches) span the eastern and southern sides. The entry connecting this rear porch to the main house has a projecting vestibule area with Greek Revival styling, suggesting it may once have been the main entrance. The interior reflects late 19th-century tastes, but includes some Federal period trim and wainscoting in the downstairs parlor. There is architectural evidence suggesting that house once had a large central chimney, although there is no evidence for the foundation of one in the partial basement.</p><br>
<p>The property has had a somewhat complex construction history. In 1796 Louis des Parres des Isles, secretary to a wealthy French landowner in the town, married Mary Googin, and is said to have built a house on this property soon afterward. It is unclear whether that house is this one with substantial alterations, or whether a new structure was built in 1887, when this building reached its approximate current shape. It was the communitys only hotel during the 1880s, operated by des Isles son William. By the early 20th century the building had been doubled in size, with historic photos showing large additions that had been removed by the 1930s. It may have acquired the name "Shore Acres" due to the popularity of a play written by James A. Herne, who summered at the nearby (and no longer extant) Gault House hotel prior to the 1893 publication of the play.</p><br>
<p>The 1886 date reflects the time the structure was expanded to a large Hotel. The original build date was approximately 1796, and the structure as viewed today, was the original farm house. The Hotel Shore Acres, as it was once known, was owned in the 1930s by Sherman Douglas, a then state senator. The Lamoine Historical Society has pictures of Senator Douglas and Henry Ford in Lamoine, promoting the area for a Summer White House. Seasonal Renters of this property state, "staying here is like going back in time and living, history."</p><br>
<p>27 Crocus Place, also known as the J.M. Carlson House, was a 1902 Queen Anne style timber-frame house in Saint Paul in the USA state of Minnesota. It was a contributing property to the Historic Hill District.</p><br>
<p>It was the home of Minnesota Governor Joseph A. A. Burnquist where he wrote several works in the series "Minnesota and its People" during the 1920s.</p><br>
<p>Despite historic preservation efforts by the city and neighbors, a court approved its demolition in 2015. The final owners of the house, Fred and Renee Pritzker, had it demolished to build a new residence for their adult son, who has Angelman syndrome. In the settlement with the city, they were required to document the historic structure before it was destroyed.</p><br>
<p>The Sebastian County Road 4G Bridge is a historic bridge in rural Sebastian County, Arkansas, United States. The bridge carries County Road 4  across an unnamed tributary of Sugar Loaf Creek southwest of West Hartford, between County Roads 1 and 243. It has two spans with a total length of 44 ft. The width is 18 ft curb-to-curb and 21 feet overall. The two spans rest on a single center stone pier, and both abutments are also made of stone masonry. The road deck is reinforced concrete with simple concrete railings on the sides. Built in 1940, it is a well-preserved example of a concrete bridge from the World War II era of bridge construction in the state, when steel had become scarce. The bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1995.</p><br>
<p>In 1939, Sebastian County official decided to request the assistance of the New Deal Depression-era public relief agencies of President Franklin D. Roosevelt to improve rural roads throughout the county. The Works Progress Administration approved funding of $1,226,362 on December 11, 1939, for a county-wide project to "improve roads, including clearing; grubbing; excavating and grading; constructing curbs, gutters and bridges; draining; laying pipe; surfacing; and performing incidental and appurtenant work."</p><br>
<p>The Sebastian County Road 4G Bridge was built as part of this effort. The bridge was likely designed by an engineer with the Arkansas State Highway Commission. It was built in 1940 with the WPA funding and carries an historical association with the World War II era and open masonry substructure bridges. At the time of its listing, it was considered "relatively intact" and its condition "retain sufficient integrity to remain associated with its historic period." It was eligible under Criterion C, the distinctive characteristics of design/engineering/construction.</p><br>
<p>A 1990 study reviewed 2,496 bridges built in Arkansas before 1941 which survived to 1990 and identified just 51 as potentially National Register-eligible. By its listing, the County Road 4G bridge was deemed consistent with the standards determined in that study, as a good surviving example of its type.</p><br>
<p>It is located near the Oklahoma border, southwest of populated place West Hartford, Arkansas, itself southwest of Hartford, Arkansas.</p><br>
<p>The Sebastian County Courthouse/Fort Smith City Hall is a historic civic building at 100 South 6th Street in Fort Smith, Arkansas. It is a large four-story stone and concrete structure with modest Art Deco styling, designed by Fort Smith architects E. Chester Nelson and Bassham & Wheeler and built in 1937 with funding from the Public Works Administration. Its interior lobby and courthouse spaces are richly decorated, with marble walls, terrazzo marble flooring, and ornamental moldings around doorways. The building continues to house county facilities; the city offices are now located on Garrison Avenue.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1993.</p><br>
<p>The Saint Scholastica Convent, now the Saint Scholastica Monastery, is a historic religious facility at 1301 South Albert Pike Avenue in Fort Smith, Arkansas. It is a large multi-winged brick and masonry complex with Late Gothic Revival architecture, five stories in height, set on a large landscaped property behind Trinity Junior High School. The building was designed by Oklahoma City architect F. W. Redlich, and was built in 1923–24. It originally housed living quarters for the convent as well as a chapel and school; the school closed in 1969, and the academic space is now leased to the Trinity School.</p><br>
<p>The property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2006.</p><br>
<p>As of June 1, 2022 the building is slated for demolition after the sisters made the decision to not move forward with any restoration efforts.</p><br>

<p>The Nathan C. Ricker House is a historic house located at 612 West Green Street in Urbana, Illinois. Architect Nathan Clifford Ricker designed the house for himself in 1892; he lived there until his death in 1924. Ricker was a professor at the University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign, and he established the universitys architecture program; he also designed several of the schools buildings. His house, a two-story Queen Anne structure, was his only residential design. The house has an asymmetrical plan with a multi-component roof, projecting bays, and a front porch along the entire west side. Wood shingles decorate the house&#39;s exterior, and decorative posts, railings, and a frieze adorn the porch.</p><br>
<p>The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on June 21, 2000.</p><br>
<p>Louise Freer Hall, also known as the Womens Gymnasium, is a historic building on the campus of the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. Built in 1930, it was the last of the universitys buildings designed by Charles A. Platt, who was responsible for the universitys overall plan. Like most of Platts designs for the university, the building has a Georgian Revival plan. The gymnasium originally provided expanded facilities for the womens physical education department, which had outgrown its space in the Womans Building. The new gymnasiums facilities included two general-purpose spaces, several specialized facilities, and a physical education laboratory. Louise Freer, the womens physical education director for whom the building was later renamed, added a lounge area in 1932 to provide a social space in the building. The building is still used as a gymnasium and hosts intramural sporting events and physical education classes.</p><br>
<p>Freer Hall has served as the home venue for the Illinois Fighting Illini women&#39;s swimming and diving team.</p><br>
<p>The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on February 5, 2003.</p><br>
<p>The Busey–Evans Residence Halls, historically known as the Women&#39;s Residence Hall and the West Residence Hall respectively, are historic dormitories at the University of Illinois Urbana–Champaign.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Busey Hall was built in 1916, while Evans Hall was built in 1926; a connector wing links the two buildings, and they are considered part of the same dormitory complex. James A. White designed Busey Hall, while Charles A. Platt designed Evans Hall; both architects played an important role in designing other buildings on the universitys campus, and both chose the Georgian Revival style for their designs to match the campuss architectural theme. The Womens Residence Hall was the first residence hall on the universitys campus; the all-female dormitory filled a need for women&#39;s housing at the university, which had been privately maintained and in short supply. The hall quickly filled up, and the West Residence Hall was built to provide additional space for female students. In 1937, the buildings were renamed for university trustees Mary E. Busey and Laura B. Evans. The residence halls were still in use as all-female student housing until the fall semester of 2019, when the Evans hall was designated as all male for the first time in its history to accommodate the closure of another all male residence hall on campus.</p><br>
<p>The residence halls were added to the National Register of Historic Places on February 5, 2003.</p><br>
<p>The Commissioners Office is a rare surviving example of transitional Spanish-Japanese architecture on the island of Rota in the Northern Mariana Islands, an insular area of the United States in the western Pacific Ocean. It is a single-story structure with walls of manposteria , a construction method adopted during the Spanish period. The window trim consists of ifil lintels, and the buildings cornice is Japanese in style. At the time of the building&#39;s listing on the National Register of Historic Places in 1981, it was in deteriorated condition, lacking a roof and with one collapsed wall. The structure was built in the 1930s by the local Chamorro people, who had been displaced to that part of the island by Japanese settlement undertaken as part of the South Seas Mandate. The building housed the offices of a local commissioner, or village head responsible to the Japanese authorities. Many buildings built by the Japanese during the mandate period were destroyed in World War II.</p><br>
<p>The Sophie May House is a historic house on Sophie May Lane in Norridgewock, Maine. Built in 1845, it is an excellent local example of Greek Revival architecture, with a classical four-columned Greek temple front. The house is most notable as the long-time home of Rebecca Sophia Clarke , who wrote a series of popular children&#39;s books under the pen name "Sophie May". The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.</p><br>
<h2>Description and setting</h2><br>
<p>The Sophie May House is set between Sophie May Lane and the Kennebec River to the south, just outside the main village of Norridgewock. It is a -story brick structure, with a front-facing gable roof, which projects beyond the front facade and is supported by four smooth Doric columns, with a fully pedimented flush-boarded gable end above. The main facade is three bays wide, with full-length windows in the two left bays and the entrance in the rightmost. The interior follows a typical side-hall plan, with the main parlor to the left, and kitchen and service area in ells attached to the rear of the house.</p><br>
<p>The house was built in 1845 by Cullen Sawtelle, a native son who studied law at Bowdoin College and represented the area in Congress in the 1840s. In 1848 Sawtelle sold the house to Asa Clarke. Clarkes daughter, Rebecca, was educated at Norridgewock Female Academy and taught primary school in Illinois until advancing deafness forced her return. From 1861 until her death in 1906 she lived here, where she wrote more than forty volumes of childrens stories, using realistic settings and characterizations drawn in part from her hometown, and in contrast to the prevailing style of didactic and moralizing children&#39;s literature.</p><br>
<p>The Eric E. Soderholtz Cottage is a historic house on Maine State Route 186 in West Gouldsboro, Maine. Built in 1902, it is a fine local example of rustic Craftsman architecture. It was built by Eric Ellis Soderholtz, an artist noted around the turn of the 20th century for his architectural photography and his Arts and Crafts pottery. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Solderholtz Cottage is set on the east side of South Gouldsboro Road (Maine State Route 186), about 0.5 mi south of its junction with United States Route 1, on a neck of land separating freshwater Jones Pond from Jones Cove, an inlet of Frenchman Bay. It is a rambling single-story building, fashioned out of wood and fieldstone, which approximates a Greek cross in shape. It has a hip roof with flared eaves and exposed rafter ends in the Craftsman style. A concrete patio extends along the southern and western sides, lined on the west by a low stone wall. A breezeway on the south side joins the main structure to a two-room wood-frame structure, which is believed to have served as a studio space. The house interior also has numerous Craftsman features, including exposed rafter beams and tilework by the Grueby Faience Company of Boston. The initial portion of the house was the subject of an article in the July 1903 edition of Country Living in America.</p><br>
<p>Construction of the cottage began in 1902, after Eric Ellis Soderholtz (1867-1959) purchased two parcels of land, providing a high point in the area and access to Frenchman Bay. Originally an L-shaped structure, it was gradually expanded during Soderholtz&#39; lifetime to achieve its present form. Soderholtz, who immigrated from Sweden as a child, achieved a reputation in the late 19th century as a photographer of architecture and landscape, with his work appearing in journals and monographs of the period. In the 20th century he achieved further notice as a creator of concrete garden sculptures, which he created by hand-turning them (the way clay pots are made by hand) rather than using molds. His work was marketed and sold into the exclusive summer colonies of Mount Desert Island, and as far off as Newport, Rhode Island.</p><br>
<p>Stone School was a historic one-room school located west of Le Claire, Iowa, United States in rural Scott County. It was built in 1866 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1977.</p><br>

<p>It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972. It is located in the Salisbury Historic District.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The house was built in 1820 for the Salisbury Female Academy.</p><br>
<p>Five years later, Maxwell Chambers and his half-sister Rebecca Troy lived there. Later, Chambers moved and Sheriff Chaffin of Davie County, North Carolina bought it and rented it.</p><br>
<p>Rowan County native Dr. Josephus Hall, who returned to Salisbury in 1853, bought the house along with his wife Mary Cowan in 1859 for $3,500. The purchase included stables and slaves&#39; quarters. Hall added $125 worth of decorative ironwork. During the Civil War, Hall served as a surgeon for the Confederate Prison. When Union troops invaded, they took over the front part of the house, paying rent, and Hall and his family lived in the back.</p><br>
<p>Hall died in 1873. When his wife died in 1902, she left all her property to daughter Henrietta, who was married to Julius D. McNeely. Their daughter Henrietta (McNeely) Strachan had married Waverly B. Strachan in 1901, and had a daughter Mildred Strachan. A 1938 photo by Frances Benjamin Johnston calls the house the McNeely House; information about the photo also refers to a Mrs. W. B. Strachan as being associated with the house at that time. The 1971 NRHP nomination says "Descendants of the Halls (among whom were the McNeelys and the Strachans from whom comes the present name of the house) have lived there for over a hundred years."</p><br>

<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>On August 8, 1851, three commissioners choose the site that would become Osceola as the county seat. They purchased the land from George W. How for $100. The first courthouse was a two-story frame building that occupied a corner lot. It was built for $1,600. It had to be abandoned in 1883 because the toll that wind and weather had taken on the structure. It was replaced by a 2½-story brick structure in 1892 that was built on the public square, which up to that point had been a park. The Romanesque Revival building featured a tall clock tower. The county outgrew that building and the present Modern structure was completed in 1956. A $275,000 bond had been issued for its construction. The structure is composed of a single story section and a two-story section. It is located on the same expansive square in the middle of the central business district as the former courthouse.
