<p>The Urbana-Lincoln Hotel &ndash; Lincoln Square Mall is a historic building complex located at 300 South Broadway Avenue in Urbana, Illinois. The Tudor Revival style hotel was built in 1923. In 1964, the mall was built as an extension of the hotel; it was one of the first fully enclosed shopping malls in Illinois. The hotel, the mall, and the building complex was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2006.</p><br>
<h2>Hotel history</h2><br>
<p>A local booster organization called the Urbana Hotel Company began raising money for a hotel in Urbana in 1921. The group raised $223,000 by selling shares in the hotel, and construction on the Urbana-Lincoln Hotel began in 1923. The hotel opened to guests by November of that year and was formally dedicated on January 31, 1924. Local architect Joseph Royer designed the hotel in the Tudor Revival style; the building features extensive half-timbering on its stucco exterior. The hotel was not profitable, and the Urbana Hotel Company went bankrupt in 1937; the hotel stayed open after the company was reorganized. A new management company, the Urbana-Lincoln Company, took over the hotel in 1944 and extensively modernized it in the following decade. The hotel was incorporated into the mall&#39;s plans from the outset and was sold to mall owners Carson Pirie Scott shortly after the mall opened. After failing to turn a profit, the hotel closed in 1975 and was slated to be demolished. In the 1970s, the Jumer Hotel chain purchased the hotel. The new owners renovated and reopened the hotel later in the decade, and an addition was built on the building in 1982. The Jumer Hotel chain sold the hotel in 2001. From 2001 the hotel was bought and sold multiple times. In 2010, developer Xiao Jin "XJ" Yuan bought the hotel for $600,000, renaming it the Urbana Landmark Hotel. Yuan made renovations to the hotel, including fixing the roof, upgrading the HVAC and plumbing systems,</p><br>
<h2>Mall history</h2><br>
<p>Due to a general sentiment that Urbanas economy was stagnating, local business leaders reached out to several large retailers in the late 1950s in an attempt to attract a store to the city. Carson Pirie Scott expressed interest in the city if it were willing to build a large commercial development, sparking the Lincoln Square Mall project. The city began plans for a mall in 1960 and hired nationally recognized developer Victor Gruen to plan the mall. The Urbana Central Development Company, a subsidiary of Carson Pirie Scott, acquired the land for the mall in 1961, and the name Lincoln Square was chosen the following year. The mall was built and opened in 1964; when it opened, it became the first fully enclosed shopping mall in Illinois outside of the Chicago metropolitan area. Illinois Governor Otto Kerner, Jr. and both of the states USA Senators attended the malls grand opening on September 17. The malls stores mainly sold clothing and other fashionable goods in order to draw shoppers from surrounding areas; the developers intended for the mall to serve residents in a 50 mi radius around Urbana. The mall was successful during its first two decades, and most of its original businesses either stayed or were replaced by similar businesses. Starting in the mid-1980s, however, competition from surrounding malls led to the beginning of the malls decline. Carson Pirie Scott sold the mall in 1988; its anchor store was converted to a Bergners and later a Herbergers. Herbergers and the malls ownership group renovated the mall in 1994, but Herbergers went bankrupt three years later, and the store was converted into a Bergners again, which closed in 2002; the mall failed to attract another anchor and subdivided the stores space into smaller stores. The mall remains open and continues to house many smaller stores and law offices.</p><br>
<p>The Francis and Abbie Solon House is a historic house located at 503 South State Street in Champaign, Illinois. Developer William Barrett built the house for himself in 1867. Architect Seeley Brown designed the house in the Tuscan Villa subtype of the Italianate style. The house features a wraparound front porch with chamfered columns and an entablature and frieze with decorative brackets and a central arch, all distinctive elements of the Italianate style. A square cupola with similar bracketing rises from the center of the houses flat roof; this roof structure, along with the houses symmetrical plan, is a defining element of the Tuscan Villa form. Barrett sold the house to Abel Harwood and his family in 1869; the Harwood family owned the house until 1907, when they sold it to Francis and Abbie Solon. The house stayed with the Solon family until 2005, when it was donated to the Preservation & Conservation Society. The house was sold to a private individual in 2017 and has since undergone extensive renovation to be returned to use as a single family home.</p><br>
<p>The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on July 3, 2007.</p><br>
<p>The Sorrento Library is located on Waukeag Avenue in the summer resort town of Sorrento, Maine. It is located in an architecturally distinguished Colonial Revival building, designed by Ball and Dabney and built in 1892–93, that also functions as a community meeting space. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1995.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture and history</h2><br>
<p>The Sorrento Library is set on the south side of Waukeag Avenue, about 0.5 mi west of its junction with Maine State Route 185. It is a -story wood-frame structure, with a hip roof, wood shingle exterior, and a granite foundation. The north-facing main facade is distinguished by a porte-cochere sheltering its entrance, and an arcaded porch that extends across the width and around the sides. The roof above is pierced by three gabled dormers, the center one large and containing three wide sash windows, the central one topped by a half-round window. Inside, the main floor is divided into two large spaces, separated by a large stone fireplace. The first space encountered from the entrance is the larger, and has a gallery above which is accessed by stairs near the entrance. The space to the rear, originally a reading room, has been converted into an apartment.</p><br>
<p>The development of Sorrento was begun as a speculative venture in the 1880s by businessmen seeking to capitalize on the popularity of the area as evidenced by the success of nearby Bar Harbor. A hotel and a number of elegant summer "cottages" were built by the early 1890s, and rail and steamship service to the area was arranged by Frank Jones, president of the Boston and Maine Railroad and one of the venture&#39;s major investors. Jones was also probably responsible for the separation of Sorrento from adjacent Sullivan in 1895. His wife donated the funds for construction of the library, which was designed by the Boston firm of Ball and Dabney and completed in 1893. The library, although open to the public, remained the property of the Joneses until 1918, when it was turned over to the Sorrento Village Improvement Association, which has managed the building since. The interior of its main hall was altered in the 1930s by the removal of posts to increase the amount of space available for dances.</p><br>

<p>The interior begins with a small vestibule that opens into a large open room with a stage at the far end. To the left of the entrance stairs rise to the second floor, while there is a ticket booth and a small kitchen area (accessible only from the hall) to the right. The second floor is divided into a number of rooms leased to the Masonic lodge, and has a film projection room that contains projection equipment dating to the 1920s and 1930s. The projection area is accessed via a stepladder from the kitchen below. The hall is outfitted with a curtain which demarcates the stage area, and with retractable basketball hoops.</p><br>
<p>The town of Weld was first organized as Webb&#39;s Pond Plantation in 1812, and incorporated as Weld in 1816. Its first town hall was located in the lower village, but the upper village later became more economically significant, and it is where this building is located. Construction, which took place 1922–26, was funded by the Masonic Tie Lodge No. 154, and was from the completion of its first floor opened by the Masons as a community meeting space. The Masons lost the building to foreclosure in 1937, and the town voted to purchase it from the bank in 1940. It has been the location of town meetings since 1925, in addition to a large number of local social functions.</p><br>

<p>Sprouls Cafe opened for business at a different location in Bar Harbor in 1870, operated by Mr. and Mrs. Robert Sproul. The success of the operation prompted the construction of this larger facility in 1880. The Sprouls acquired a national reputation for the quality of the dining and catering they provided to the wealthy upper crust that summered at Bar Harbor, and for serving wine in contravention to Maines strict alcohol laws. The Sprouls sold the property in 1903, and it was converted into a department store.</p><br>

<p>The Metal Shop, also known as Aeronautical Lab B, was a historic building located at 1022 South Burrill Avenue on the campus of the University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign. Built in 1895, the building served as a metal shop for the universitys architecture and engineering students. Nathan Clifford Ricker, who later served as Dean of the College of Engineering, designed the building. The design was more functional than Rickers other work on the campus; its only decorative element is a brick arched loggia in front of the entrance.</p><br>
<p>The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on November 9, 1986. It was demolished in 1993 but is still listed on the National Register.</p><br>
<p>The Japanese 20mm Cannon Blockhouse is one of many relics of World War II on the island of Saipan in the Northern Mariana Islands. It is a concrete blockhouse, semi-circular in shape with a diameter of about 6 m. Its walls are 1.22 m thick with four firing ports large enough to accommodate 20mm cannons, originally equipped with steel sliding shutters. A steel door 25 mm thick provides access to the structure at the rear, sheltered by a concrete wall and covered defensively by a machine gun port. The blockhouse is located near the center of what is locally called Big Agingan Beach , on the south coast of the island, about 20 m from the shore. It was built in some haste by the Japanese forces defending Saipan in 1944, and was captured by Allied forces early in the Battle of Saipan.</p><br>
<p>The blockhouse was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1995.</p><br>
<p>The Fortunat O. Michaud is a historic house at 231 Main Street in Van Buren, Maine. Built in the 1910s by a local politician, it is the small community&#39;s most elaborate expression of Queen Anne architecture. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Michaud House is set at the southwest corner of Poplar and Main Streets (the latter is United States Route 1)., occupying a prominent elevated site just north of Van Buren&#39;s central business district. It has a two-story main block with a hip roof and a three-story round tower projecting from the northeast corner, and a broad porch that wraps around the front and north side. The tower is shingled on the third level (the rest of the house is finished in clapboards) and is capped by a domed roof. The single story porch is supported by Tuscan columns, and echoes the circular form of the tower as it wraps around it. On the north side, a gabled projection has a window set in a deeply-recessed lancet-arched opening. A gable-roofed ell extends to the rear from the main block. The interior of the house retains much original woodwork and styling.</p><br>
<p>The house was built sometime between 1912 and 1917 by Fortunat O. Michaud, a former state legislator. The property was recorded as having a narrow house on it in 1911, which the rear ell may be all of part of; there is architectural evidence in the attic space supporting this idea. The house was sold out of the family by Michaud&#39;s daughter.</p><br>
<p>The Stonington Opera House is a theatrical venue at the corner of Main and School Streets in the center of Stonington, Maine. Built in 1912, it is one of a small number of early 20th-century performance halls constructed in Maine. It is the current home of Opera House Arts, a non-profit organization dedicated to restoring and preserving the historic building to its original purpose as a central community institution. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Stonington Opera House is set in the towns central business district, on a rock outcrop across Main Street from the main pier. The building has two sections, the more prominent one being the tall southern portion, on which a large sign proclaims the building&#39;s name. This section is framed in wood, finished in clapboards, and is topped by a hip roof. It houses the stage area, including wings and dressing rooms. To the north is a lower gable-roofed ell, which houses the seating area and lobby. The main entrance is located at the north end of the building, while there is a secondary entrance on the east side of the tall south block. Distinctive interior features include a surviving 1910s projection booth, which is lined with asbestos tile and designed to be isolatable in the event that unstable nitrate-based film stock (used in early-generation films) caught fire.</p><br>
<p>The theater was built in 1912, on the site of an earlier hall which was destroyed by fire in 1910. It continued the practice of the earlier facility, hosting theatrical productions, lectures, and community events. Its floor was covered with removable folding chairs, so that the space could be used for dances and other social events. Its diverse uses included town meetings, basketball games, and roller skating. It was fitted for screening films around 1918, which came to dominate its uses in the mid-20th century. Unlike other early theaters, which were generally incorporated into municipal buildings, this one was specifically built as a profit-making venture, and was designed to accommodate elaborate theatrical productions, and is probably the oldest of this type in the state.</p><br>
<p>After a period of decline, the building was rehabilitated in 1979, but closed again in the late 1980s. It was again updated and reopened by Opera House Arts, a local nonprofit, in 2000, and is once again used primarily for film screenings and theatrical productions.</p><br>

<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Gág House stands in an residential area just southwest of downtown New Ulm, at the junction of North Washington Street and 3rd Street North. It is a -story wood-frame building, with a complex roofline and exterior finished in a combination of wooden clapboards and shingles. Its front facade has a projecting gable section on the right, with a broad polygonal bay one story in height topped by a single sash window. The bay windows are interspersed with wooden panels, and a field of diamond-cut shingles is set below the upper window. To the left of the projecting section is a porch elaborately decorated with turned posts and balusters, and a spindled valance overhead.</p><br>
<p>The house was built in 1894 by Anton Gag, and served from then until 1913 as the childhood home of Wanda Gág (who adopted the accented "a" as an adult). Gág was a successful artist and illustrator, and is credited with producing one of the first picture books in 1926. The house was acquired by a non-profit organization in 1988. It was restored, and opened as a museum dedicated to Gág in 2008. The home is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>The former Surry Town Hall is located at 1217 Surry Road  in the village of Surry, Maine. Built in East Surry in 1848, it served as town hall until 1844, and as a combined church and town hall until about 1881. It was then returned to exclusive municipal use until 1978; it is now home to the Surry Historical Society. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2008. The town&#39;s municipal offices are located in a modern facility on North Bend Road; town meetings are now held in the local school auditorium.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The former Surry Town Hall is set at the northwest corner of Surry Road and Meadow Lane, in the rural village of Surry. It is a single-story rectangular wood-frame structure, with a tower projecting from the front facade. It has a front-gable roof, clapboard siding, and a granite foundation. The front facade has no windows, and the entrance is at the base of the tower, topped by a transom window and framed by simple molded trim. The tower is without adornment until it rises above the ridge line of the main block, at which point a roof line separates the tower base from the square belfry. The belfry is more highly decorated, with wide corner pilasters and a simple entablature framing rectangular louvered openings. A small steeple rises above the belfry. A small shed-roof addition extends to the north (rear) of the building. The interior consists of a small vestibule in the tower, a large open space with a barrel roof, and a storage space in the rear addition.</p><br>
<p>The town hall was built by the town in 1828 in what is now East Surry to house municipal meetings and voting facilities. At the time it was near the geographic center of the town, but after much of eastern Surry was transferred to neighboring Ellsworth in 1829, it was at the far eastern edge of the town. In 1844 the town sold the building to the Surry Union Meeting Society, reserving the right to use the building for town meetings. The society moved the building to its present location, and added the tower and other Greek Revival features. The building was then used by the town as well as local congregations of Methodists and Baptists. The Baptists built their own church in 1866, and the Methodists soon followed; by 1881 the building was recorded on maps as the "town house" again. The building continued to be used by the town for meetings and voting until 1978, and was leased to the Surry Historical Society in 1980.</p><br>

<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1996.</p><br>
<p>Topside is a historic summer estate in Brooksville, Maine. Designed by Tennessee architect William Crutchfield and built in 1918, this unusual log structure more closely resembles vacation houses found in the mountain areas of the southern United States than it those found in Maine. It is located on the north shore of Walker Pond, off Maine State Route 176. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Topside is located in eastern Brooksville on a property running from State Route 176 down to the shore of Walker Pond, a large body of water on the border with Sedgwick. The main house, one of three buildings on the property, is situated close to the shore. It is a -story log structure, set on a fieldstone foundation, with a clipped gable roof shingled in asphalt but shaped to resemble typical thatch roofs. Matching clipped-gable projections are set at the corners of the waterfront side, and a pair of shed-roof dormers appear on the land side. Windows are diamond-pane casement throughout. The logs the house is built out of are unusually large spruce logs that were hand-hewn to fit. The wrought iron hardware fixtures were hand-forged by a blacksmith working on site. and</p><br>
<p>The main house is joined by a stone passageway to two other buildings, both built with similar materials. One is a single-story guest house with three bedrooms, and the other is a three-story structure that houses a water tower and more guest quarters.</p><br>
<p>The property was developed in 1918 for the Patten family to a rough plan developed by Tennessee architect William Crutchfield. Construction was done by a Maine crew without the architect&#39;s oversight, and cost about $60,000.</p><br>
<p>The Mount Sequoyah Cottages are a pair of historic summer cabins at 808 and 810 East Skyline Drive in Fayetteville, Arkansas. They were built in the 1920s, around the time that the adjacent Mount Sequoyah Methodist summer camp was developed, and represent a period when the "back to nature" movement was a leading element in the development of summer properties.</p><br>
<p>The cottages were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2012.</p><br>
<p>The Willis Noll House is a historic house at 531 North Sequoyah Drive in Fayetteville, Arkansas. Located on a steeply-sloping lot, it presents a single-story to the front and two to the rear.

The central section, four stories in height, has a porte-cochere in front, supported by Ionic columns, with a heavy turned balustrade. The second floor has a group of three windows, topped by arched panels with fleur-de-lis, and the third also has three windows, divided by Ionic columns. The fourth floor is a mansard-style roof with a dormer. To the left of the central section are a three-story wing and a two-story kitchen wing, between which stands a secondary entrance that has a masonry portico topped by a turret. To the right of the central section stands a three-story round tower with a conical cap, beyond which is a three-story wing with a rounded corner. The interior of the house includes a grand staircase and a paneled dining room.</p><br>
<p>John J. Emery, a wealthy Cincinnati businessman, commissioned the construction of The Turrets, which was completed in 1895. It joined a number of elegant summer houses that lined Bar Harbor&#39;s coast, many of which were destroyed in a devastating fire in 1947. The Turrets stood vacant for many years before its acquisition by the College of the Atlantic in the 1970s.</p><br>
