<p>The Jones Memorial Methodist Church is a historic church building at 400 East Main Street in Hartford, Arkansas. It is a T-shaped two story brick building, with a gabled roof and stone foundation. Its main facade has a Classical Revival appearance, with a gabled portico sheltering the main entrance, supported by six large Doric columns. Built in 1921, it is the only major example of the architectural style in the small city. The $25,000 cost of its construction was a burden on the congregation, and its mortgage was paid off in the 1930s by Dr. Elisha Baxter Jones, in whose honor the church was thereafter named.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2011.</p><br>
<p>The Joseph Knoble Brewery is a historic beer brewery building at North 3rd and "E" Streets in Fort Smith, Arkansas. Built in the early 1850s, it is a three-story stone building, with an extension beside that originally housed a large beer vault. The main beer production facility was on the third floor, and the first floor originally housed a tavern. The area beside the main building where the vault was located was eventually filled in, with a beer garden built on top of it. It is the only known surviving example of a mid-19th century brewery in the state.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972. It now houses a restaurant.</p><br>
<p>The Maness Schoolhouse is an American historic school building at 8801 Wells Lake Road in Sebastian County, Arkansas, about 2 mi south of Barling.

<p>The former Japanese Hospital building on the island of Rota in the Northern Mariana Islands is one of the few remaining Japanese-era buildings on the island. It is a single-story L-shaped concrete structure. When listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1981, it was described as being in derelict condition, being little more than the concrete structure, lacking a roof, windows, and most of its woodwork. The window openings are sheltered by typical Japanese concrete canopies. The building was built by the Japanese about 1930, during the South Seas Mandate period; most Japanese-built structures on Rota were destroyed during World War II.</p><br>
<p>The Murry Guggenheim House, also known as the Guggenheim Library, is a historic building located at Cedar and Norwood Avenues in West Long Branch, New Jersey, United States. This Beaux-Arts mansion, designed by Carrère and Hastings in 1903 as a summer residence, is now the Monmouth University library. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on March 28, 1978, for its significance in architecture.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In 1903, Murry Guggenheim (1858–1939), son of Meyer Guggenheim, bought property in West Long Branch to build a summer residence for himself and his wife, Leonie. The Beaux-Arts architecture firm of Carrère and Hastings was hired to design the building. The firm had achieved prominence with the design for the New York Public Library in 1897. The mansion was started in 1903 and completed in 1905. An addition was built in 1967 on the north side that doubled the available space for the library. In 2003, the library underwent a second expansion, for $14 million, which increased its capacity by 100,000 books.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The building is a two-story Beaux-Arts style mansion with curved side wings and Palladian arcades. The exterior is covered with white stucco. The interior features a grand corridor with Ionic columns.</p><br>
<p>The design by Carrère and Hastings was honored with a gold medal by the New York Chapter of the American Institute of Architects in 1903. It was styled after the Grand Trianon in Versailles.</p><br>
<h2>Legacy</h2><br>
<p>After the deaths of Murry and Leonie, the property transferred to the Murry and Leonie Guggenheim Foundation in 1959. The Foundation then transferred it to Monmouth College, now Monmouth University, in September 1960. After a year of modifications to convert the building into a college library, it was dedicated as the Murry and Leonie Guggenheim Memorial Library on September 24, 1961.</p><br>
<p>The estate also included a nearby stable and carriage house at Cedar Avenue, which was donated to the college in 1961. It is now the Lauren K. Woods Theater.</p><br>
<p>The Price Produce and Service Station is a collection of three related commercial buildings at 413, 415, and 417 East Emma Avenue in Springdale, Arkansas. It includes one building that hosted an automotive filling station and produce shop, a second that traditionally housed a barbershop, and a third structure, originally open but now enclosed and housing a residence, that was used as an automobile service area. The buildings were all built in 1934, and are united by common Art Deco styling, most prominently lancet-topped pilasters that rise above the height of their roofs. The complex is regarded as a fine local example of vernacular Art Deco, and as a surviving element of the automotive culture of the 1930s.</p><br>
<p>The buildings were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2011.</p><br>
<p>The Pyeatte Mill Site is a roadside park encompassing the remains of a historic early 20th-century mill facility on Arkansas Highway 45 in Canehill, Arkansas. The principal surviving features are a large stone foundation wall and a massive steel wheel 36 ft in diameter. These are all that remain of what was once Canehill&#39;s leading 19th-century industrial facility, which had its origins in the 1830s. It operated at this site from 1902 into the 1920s.</p><br>
<p>The site was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
<p>The Agat Invasion Beach is a historic site in the village of Agat, Guam. The beaches of Agat were one of the landing sites of American forces in the 1944 Battle of Guam, in which the island was retaken from occupying Japanese forces. The designated historic site includes the beaches and inland areas extending between Bangi Point and Togcha Beach. Surviving remnants of the Japanese defenses on this stretch of coast include trenches and rifle pits located a short way inland, and a fortified bunker and 40mm gun emplacements at Ga&#39;an Point. Remnants of pillboxes that had lined the beach also survive, with one at Gangi Point in relatively good condition.</p><br>
<p>The beaches and fortifications were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975. Portions of them are part of the War in the Pacific National Historical Park.</p><br>
<p>The Capt. Joel Whitney House is a historic house at 8 Pleasant Street in Phillips, Maine. Built in 1829 for a prominent early settler and businessman, it is one of the oldest houses in the small inland community, and probably the only two-story building of that age. It is now owned by the Phillips Historical Society, which houses museum displays in the rear sections. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2003.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Whitney House is set at the southeast corner of Pleasant and Sawyer Streets, opposite Sawyer Street from the Union Church. The house is a rambling structure, with a -story side-gable main block, a long single-story ell extending to the rear, which joins to a square two-story carriage house with a cupola-topped hip roof. The main facade is five bays wide, with a central entrance flanked by sidelight windows and topped by a wooden fan set in an elaborate entablature in the Federal style. The rear ell was built in two stages, the first being integral to the house construction and the second added later. The carriage house has large sliding doors on two sides, with a large hay portal over the southern entrance. The interior of the main house has retained much of its original Federal period woodwork and hardware; the rear sections have been adapted for use as display, meeting, and library spaces by the historical society.</p><br>
<p>The town of Phillips was incorporated in 1812. Captain Joel Whitney arrived with his family sometime between 1806 and 1815, bought 160 acre of land, and soon became a man of local prominence. Lands he owned became part of Phillips village, he operated a saw mill and potash factory, and he served as an early postmaster. He donated the land for the adjacent Union Church, helped finance its construction, and donated the bell in its tower. This house was built for Whitney in 1829 by Jesse Ladd, a local housewright, some of whose other houses have survived. This is the only known two-story house of the period to survive in Phillips—all the others are -story Capes.</p><br>
<p>The USA Post Office-Bar Harbor Main is a historic post office building at 55 Cottage Street in Bar Harbor, Maine. This handsome granite Classical Revival building was one of twelve post offices built in 1909, and is reflective of the government&#39;s trend at that time to use classical architecture as a way to express democratic ideals and institutions. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Bar Harbor Post Office stands on the north side of Cottage Street, just west of its junction with Federal Street and on the fringe of the main villages central business district. It is a substantial single-story structure, built out of Maine granite. Its main facade faces south, and is five bays wide, with banded pilasters, topped by medallions, separating the bays. The outer four bays have paired sash windows topped by keystones. The main entrance is in the central bay, surrounded by a stonework arch and topped by a triangular pediment. The building has a strong cornice line, topped by a parapet. Behind the parapet is a low-pitch hip roof pierced by three vaulted-arch dormers. The buildings public lobby space is richly decorated with terrazzo marble flooring, marble wainscoting, and heavy woodwork surrounds for the interior doors and service windows. The ceiling has ornamental plaster decoration.</p><br>
<p>Bar Harbors post office was designed in 1908 by James Knox Taylor, the supervising architect of the United States Department of the Treasury, and was completed in 1909. Its construction was authorized by Tarsney Act and the Omnibus Building Act of 1902, and its individualized design was reflective of the governments return to the use of Classical styling as an expression of democratic ideals and institutions. The building is located in an area that was hard hit by Bar Harbor&#39;s devastating 1947 fire.</p><br>
<p>The Angus McLeod House was a historic house at 912 North 13th Street in Fort Smith, Arkansas. Built in 1905, it was a handsome Classical Revival structure, built out of pink brick with a stone foundation, that rose to include piers for an elaborate front portico supported by Corinthian columns. The house was one of the most expensive and elaborate built in Fort Smith at the time, with interior decoration matching its exterior in lavish detail. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978; it was destroyed by fire in July 2010, and was delisted in 2018.</p><br>
<p>The Milltown Bridge is a historic stone arch bridge in rural southeastern Sebastian County, Arkansas. The bridge carries County Road 77 across an unnamed brook just west of its junction with White Mountain Road. It is a two-span closed spandrel structure, with each arch spanning 10 ft and a total length of 24 ft. The arches are formed out of rough-cut stone voussoirs. It was built in the 1930s with funding from the Works Progress Administration, and was, when listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990, one of only eight documented bridges of its type in the state.</p><br>
<p>The Susan S. and Edward J. Cutler House is a historic house in Providence, Rhode Island. It is an L-shaped -story wood-frame structure, with a gabled roof and a single-story porch and vestibule in the crook of the L. The front facade has a rectangular projecting bay, with panels below the windows, and a bracketed hip roof. The front and side gables both feature Stick style decorative woodwork. The entry porch roof is bracketed, matching the front bay, and has a jigsawn balustrade. The interior features late Victorian woodwork, plasterwork and original hardware. The house was built in 1880, probably from plans in a published pattern book, and was the first to be built in a relatively new subdivision on Providence&#39;s north side. It is a well-preserved example of a "picturesque cottage", a style popularized by a number of 19th-century architects.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2015.</p><br>
<p>The Pottawattamie County Sub Courthouse is located in Avoca, Iowa, United States. Because Pottawattamie County is wide geographically, and the county seat in Council Bluffs is located at its western edge, this sub courthouse was located in the eastern portion of the county. It is Iowa&#39;s only branch county courthouse. Built in 1885 and refurbished in 1998, the building is simple, compact, and functional. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1981.</p><br>
<p>Christ Episcopal Church is a historic Episcopal church complex located near Cleveland, Rowan County, North Carolina, USA. The complex includes the 1826-1827 gable-front vernacular Gothic Revival- and American Craftsman-style brick veneered, heavy timber frame chapel; a 1926 Craftsman-style parish house attached to the original building by an open brick arcaded breezeway; and a historic cemetery.</p><br>
<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2011.</p><br>
<p>Eastover is a historic estate located at Salisbury, Rowan County, North Carolina. The mansion was designed by architect Louis H. Asbury  in 1934, and built between 1935 and 1936. It is a -story, Tudor Revival style brick dwelling with decorative half-timbering with stucco fields and a dull red terra cotta tile roof. Other contributing resources are the estate grounds, entrance gate , and one-story frame American Craftsman-style well-house.</p><br>
<p>It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2011.</p><br>
<p>Napoleon Bonaparte McCanless House is a historic home located at Salisbury, Rowan County, North Carolina. It is a three-story, three-bay by four-bay, Second Empire-style dwelling with some Colonial Revival features, faced with rusticated granite. It has a rounded corner tower and a steep, concave, mansard roof sheathed in decorative slate shingles. Also on the property is a one-story, granite-veneered brick outbuilding believed to have been the kitchen.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Napoleon B. McCanless (1851 Gold Hill, Rowan Co. – 1920 Salisbury) was a prominent entrepreneur in the region, president of the Halifax Cotton Mill Co., and held interests in agriculture, manufacturing, construction, banking, and mining (the granite used for the house&#39;s facing representing his involvement in the last). Other commercial projects he was involved with in and around Salisbury include Vance Cotton Mill, Kesler Cotton Mill, North Side Cotton Mill, the Doggin (or Coggin) Mines Co., Yadkin Finishing Co., Harris Granite Co., Salisbury Savings Bank, Peoples National Bank (later Security Bank and Trust), Salisbury Electric Light & Street Railway Co., Salisbury–Monroe Railroad, the Washington Building, Central Hotel, and the Empire Hotel, among various other businesses.</p><br>
<p>His home was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2014.</p><br>
<p>In June 2019, Historic Salisbury Foundation purchased the house for $160,000 from Livingstone College, which had once planned to use the house for a culinary school later housed at a former Holiday Inn. Plans for that work seem not to have come to fruition, as the foundation put the property up for sale for $225,000 in "as-is" condition in 2021.</p><br>
<p>In January 2021, Historic Salisbury Foundation entered (despite efforts to sell the property) into a three-year partnership with the Ghost Guild, a registered nonprofit organization that investigates alleged ghost sightings, to explore reports of unexplained activity in and around the property. The Ghost Guild says it examines the Napoleon Bonaparte McCanless House several times per year and presents its findings as part of the Historic Salisbury Foundation&#39;s annual October Tour.</p><br>
<p>The Amos G. Winter House is a historic house on Winters Hill in Kingfield, Maine. Built in the mid-1890s, it is a particularly elegant example of Colonial Revival architecture in a remote inland community. The house was designed by Francis and Freelan Stanley, multi-talented twins best known for development of the Stanley Steamer, and the houses original heating system was designed around a railroad engine boiler. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Winter House is set on a hill north of the small village center of Kingfield and just south of the West Branch Carrabasset River. The hill affords fine views of the village and the Western Maine Mountains. It is a roughly square wood-frame structure, with a hip roof and a stone foundation. Its front facade is symmetrical, with rounded two-story bays flanking the center entrance, which is sheltered by a portico supported by groups of fluted columns, with a dentillated cornice beneath its hip roof. The entrance itself is flanked by sidelight windows and topped by a half-oval fanlight window, with pilasters matching the columns where the portico joins the wall. The rounded bays have curved three-part windows, with narrow sashes flanking large picture windows. Three hip-roof dormers pierce the front roof line. The main block of the house is flanked on either side by lower wings. The interior has retained much of its original decorative work despite a variety of adaptive reuses of the building over time.</p><br>
<p>The house was built for Amos G. Winter, a local grain merchant and owner of a general store. Winter was friends with the Stanley twins, who were also Kingfield natives. Among the innovations the Stanleys put in the building were a steam-driven heating system whose centerpiece was a railroad engine boiler. A steam-driven elevator was planned but not installed. The house was occupied by the Winters until 1950, and was then adapted for use first as a doctors office and clinic, then as a restaurant and inn, and later converted to multiunit residential use. In 2015 it was reopened as The Inn on Winters Hill.</p><br>
<p>The Asheville Masonic Temple is a Masonic Temple located in Asheville, North Carolina. Designed by British American architect and Freemason Richard Sharp Smith, the building was opened in April 1915. It is listed in the United States National Register of Historic Places as a contributing building in the Downtown Asheville Historic District.</p><br>
<p>It is a four-story pressed brick building with limestone and grey brick trim, upon a granite foundation. It has a red tile hipped roof above its front portion. The Broadway facade has a two-story portico with paired Ionic columns.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Architect Smith was originally from England and was working in New York City for Richard Morris Hunt who hired him to supervise the construction of the Biltmore House.</p><br>
<p>On July 1, 1909, Mount Hermon Lodge No. 118 and the Royal Arch Masons Asheville Chapter, jointly purchased the lot at 80 Broadway in Asheville on which the Asheville Masonic Temple currently stands. In April 1912 a meeting was held between Mount Hermon Lodge #118 and the Scottish Rite Valley of Asheville&#39;s Lodge of Perfection to devise a plan for the building of a new Masonic Temple.</p><br>
<p>The plan was to organize a building company composed of members of both bodies. It was suggested that the basement and first floor would include a reading room, library, secretaries’ offices, lobby, banquet hall, and a kitchen. The second floor would be used by Mount Hermon Lodge and other appendant bodies, such as the Order of the Eastern Star and the York Rite. The third and fourth floors were to be used by the Valley Of Asheville Scottish Rite. In May 1913 a contract was signed with McPherson Construction Company to construct the building for a price of $56,260.</p><br>
<p>Almost two years later, on April 29, 1915, the Masonic Temple Company accepted the building from the contractor. The original plans, deeds and survey plats are still among the Temple&#39;s records.</p><br>
<h2>Notable members</h2><br>
<p>There have been several prominent Masons whose Masonic careers originated from the Asheville Masonic Temple.</p><br>
<p>Robert Brank Vance was Master of Mount Hermon Lodge #118 in 1866, 1867 and 1873, and Grand Master of Masons of North Carolina in 1868 and 1869.</p><br>
<p>Zebulon Baird Vance was a member of Mount Hermon Lodge #118. On February 4, 1853, at the age of 23, Vance petitioned Mt. Hermon Lodge #118 in Asheville. He received both the Second and Third Degrees on June 20, 1853. Vance was the 37th and 43rd Governor of North Carolina.</p><br>
<p>Norburn Creighton Hyatt was Master of Mount Hermon #118 in 1969, and Grand Master of Masons of North Carolina in 1985.</p><br>
<p>The Ridge House is a historic house at 230 West Center street in Fayetteville, Arkansas. It is owned by the Washington County Historical Society, and is open for tours by appointment.</p><br>
<p>At the core of this two-story clapboarded house is a log dog trot structure, built c. 1835 and occupied by one of Fayetteville&#39;s first doctors. That original structure, still visible in parts of the interior, was repeatedly extended and enlarged to achieve its present appearance as a five-bay house with a projecting central front porch. A 19th-century leanto extends the building to the rear, giving it the profile of a classic New England saltbox, a house type rarely seen in Arkansas. The house was purchased in 1840 by the widow of John Ridge, the Cherokee leader who was assassinated after signing a treaty leading to the Cherokee removal.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972.</p><br>
<p>The Routh-Bailey House is a historic house on Old Wire Road in Fayetteville, Arkansas. It is a two-story brick I-house with Greek Revival styling. Completed about 1850, it is rare within the state as a surviving antebellum brick farmhouse. It was built by Benjamin Routh on land granted to him in 1848 by President Zachary Taylor. When it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989 it was described as being in deteriorated condition. It is located east of Arkansas Highway 265 , northwest of a north-to-east bend in Old Wire Road.</p><br>
<p>Mantua Center School is a historic building located in the Mantua Center area of Mantua Township, Portage County, Ohio, United States. It was built in 1914 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places on September 4, 2013. The building was listed as an example of early 20th century educational and Neoclassical architecture in rural Portage County and one of the few remaining buildings from that era still standing.</p><br>
<p>Until 2004, the building was in use as a school, known as Mantua Center Elementary School. It housed grades kindergarten through four as one of four elementary schools in the Crestwood Local School District. Previously, the building had served first as a grades 1–12 school for students in Mantua Township, known as the Mantua Township School, and after 1948 as a school for grades 1–7 following consolidation of the Mantua Township and Mantua Village school districts. It continued as a 1–7 building until the late 1950s when Crestwood Middle School opened. An addition with a multi-purpose gymnasium and stage was completed in 1964.</p><br>
<p>Following the conclusion of the 2003–04 school year in June, the building was closed and sold to the Mantua Township Trustees. It, along with three other elementary schools in the district, was replaced by two new consolidated elementary schools, one for grades K–2 and the other for grades 3–5. Since then, the newer portion of the building has functioned as a community center while the original building has limited use for office space by the township government.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>During the early days of public education in Ohio, schools were divided into several small districts centered on a one-room schoolhouse. In the late 19th century, a movement started to centralize these schools into a single building with students divided into grade levels. The first school district to centralize in Portage County was Ravenna City in 1859 followed by Kent nine years later. Many of the more rural township schools, however, did not start centralizing schools until the early 20th century. Mantua Township centralized schools in 1903, housing students in buildings in and around what is now the Mantua Center District.</p><br>
<p>The construction of the Mantua Center School was driven mainly by township residents&#39; desire for modern and safe educational facilities, to replace the wooden frame buildings that had previously been serving as schools. The deadly Collinwood school fire in 1908, which occurred nearby in what is now part of Cleveland and killed 172 students, and prevention of the spread of cholera were two of the primary reasons. The construction of the building also occurred during a period of time where other districts were opening new centralized buildings. Between 1913 and 1920, 21 new centralized schools were built in Portage County.</p><br>
<p>The new school building opened in October 1914 and students simply gathered their belongings in the previous buildings and carried them to the new school across the street one block north. The school became a social center for the community similar to other centralized schools. Initially it housed all grades (1–12) with high school classes occupying three classrooms and the remaining grades in four rooms. The school housed students in all grades until 1948, when the Mantua Village School District was merged with the township district to form the Mantua Local School District. Under the consolidated district, high school students (grades 8–12) attended the Mantua Village School while elementary students (grades 1–7) attended Mantua Center School. Two additional classrooms were added to the Mantua Center School by converting space in an adjacent building on the property. This arrangement continued even after Shalersville Township joined the district in 1952 to form the Mantua–Shalersville Local School District. Continued enrollment growth in the 1950s resulted in construction of a new high school in Mantua Village in 1956, at which point the district was renamed for the local phone exchange, Crestwood. A few years later, a new junior high school was built near the high school and Mantua Center School was used as an elementary school for grades K–4. An addition was built in 1964 that included a multi-purpose gymnasium and classrooms.</p><br>
<p>The K–4 setup continued until 2004 when two new consolidated elementary schools, Crestwood Primary for grades K–2 and Crestwood Intermediate for grades 3–5, were completed in Mantua Township just north of the high school and middle school campus. An evaluation of the district&#39;s buildings in the 1990s by the Ohio School Facilities Commission recommended replacing the four aging elementary schools, all of which had previously served as centralized schools, rather than spend millions of dollars to bring each one up to code. Voters approved the bond issue to build the new schools in the early 2000s. Mantua Center School was sold to the Mantua Township Trustees for $147,500. Since purchasing the building, the 1964 addition has been used for various community events and meetings while the Mantua Township trustees use some of the original 1914 building for offices.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The original 1914 Mantua Center School is an example of Neoclassical architecture, prominent in the United States during the early 20th century. The building was designed by architect Peter T. Cahill, who was based in Cleveland at the time, and the general contractor was Loomis, Seymour, and Company. The original building cost $32,500 ($ in dollars) and had 12,000 ft&sup2; of space on three levels with seven classrooms on the top two floors and small gymnasium and cafeteria areas on the lowest levels. The building also contained indoor restrooms, located in the basement, which were unusual for rural buildings in the early 20th century.</p><br>
<p>Architect Peter Cahill was a graduate of nearby Hiram College in 1911 and had previously designed the school for neighboring Hiram Township, which opened in 1913. In March 1913, Cahill authored an article in The Ohio Architect, Engineer and Builder urging the state to develop building codes that would prohibit construction of school buildings using wood since wood was far more prone to damage from floods and fire. Cahill was a proponent of masonry construction and cement walls and had observed the extensive damage caused to buildings as a result of the Great Flood of 1913, which occurred in late March of that year, while the disastrous Collinwood school fire of 1908 was still a recent memory.</p><br>
<p>Cahill&#39;s choice for the design of Mantua Center School may have been influenced by the original facade of the Old Main building at Hiram College, which had been remodeled by the 1880s and has since been demolished. The classical designs of the nearby buildings that now constitute the Mantua Center District may have also been influences on his design, which includes elements of Georgian and Greek Revival architecture. The 1964 addition was built using a flat-roofed minimalist style prominent in educational architecture in the mid-20th century. The addition includes a multi-purpose gymnasium, kitchen, restrooms and storage.</p><br>
<h2>Historic listing</h2><br>
<p>The Mantua Center School was nominated for inclusion on the National Register of Historic Places under Criteria A and C. The building is significant in the area of Community Planning and Development in Criterion A as it is one of the early, and few remaining, examples in Portage County of a centralized rural school, from an era when most of the rural schools districts in the area and state transitioned from multiple school houses to central buildings. Between 1913 and 1920, 21 new centralized schools were built in the county, though only five of those schools are still standing and none are used for classes. Four of those buildings, including the Mantua Center School, have been re-purposed, one is abandoned, while the remaining buildings have since been demolished. The building was nominated under the Architecture area of Criterion C as an example of an early 20th century Neoclassical educational facility.</p><br>
<p>The New Portland Wire Bridge is a historic suspension bridge in New Portland, Maine. The bridge carries Wire Bridge Road across the Carrabassett River a short way north of the village center. Built in the mid-19th century, it is one of four 19th-century suspension bridges in the state. It is one lane wide, and has a weight limit of 3 tons. The bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1970 and was designated as a Maine Historic Civil Engineering Landmark by the American Society of Civil Engineers in 1990.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The bridge is in a rural setting, crossing the river just upstream of the mouth of Lemon Stream. The bridge is 188 ft long and 12 ft wide, sufficient to carry a single lane of traffic. The bridge towers are 25 ft, and are set on abutments of large rough-quarried granite. The towers are covered in wooden shingles, and are constructed of 12 in beams. The main steel cables are about 4 in in diameter, and connected to the bridge decking by 204 steel girders. The cable ends are anchored by concrete and granite blocks with an estimated weight of 30 tons. The decking surface is wooden planks.</p><br>
<p>The construction history of the bridge is a matter of minor local controversy. One traditional account places its construction at 1840-42, under the auspices of Colonel F. B. Morse, who lived nearby and had been an engineer in the army. According to this account, Morse ordered the cables from Sheffield, England, and had them hauled overland from Hallowell by a large team of oxen. Local criticism of the work led the bridge to dubbed "Morse&#39;s Fool Bridge". The official town history of the bridge is more prosaic, stating that it was built in 1864–66 by David Eider and Captain Charles Clark. The bridge was last rehabilitated in 2009–10; its towers and cable are original.</p><br>
<p>The Guam Cable Station is where the United States territory of Guam was first connected via modern telecommunications to the rest of the world. Reduced to ruins by the fighting of World War II, the ruins of the establishment remain on the grounds of Naval Base Guam on the west side of the island.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In 1901, the Commercial Pacific Cable Company offered to lay a cable between the continental United States and Guam at no cost to the federal government. In 1903 the company began construction of a series of buildings near what was the village of Sumay. Designed to be proof against typhoons, earthquakes, and other perils, the complex included the main cable station building, several buildings of living quarters, and a self-contained water supply system. The cable connecting Guam to Hawaii was completed in June 1903, marking the complete encirclement of the globe by communications cables. This station became a major communications hub, eventually also housing cables to China and the island of Yap, and becoming an early-warning center for typhoons. Operation of the cable was interrupted by the Japanese invasion of Guam in 1941. It resumed with the liberation of Guam in 1944, but continued only until 1951, when the cable between Guam and Hawaii was broken. Since then the remains of the cable station have been succumbing to the elements. Its remains were listed on the National Register of Historic Places listings in Guam in 1979.</p><br>
<p>The Swedish American Telephone Company Building is a historic structure in the Edgewater neighborhood of Chicago. Built in the later 1890s, the factory differs from other industrial buildings of its day because of its ornate facade. It was home to medical supplier Betz & Co. , the Swedish American Telephone Company , and the Denoyer-Geppert Co. .</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The Ravenswood Land Company purchased 194 acre along the Chicago & North Western tracks in Edgewater in 1868. At the time, the railroad had stops to the north at Rosehill Cemetery and to the south at Ravenswood Manor. In 1875, the railroad opened a stop at Summerdale, 100 ft west of this site. Plans were in place to develop a residential community there by 1890. The neighborhood became known as Andersenville by its early Norwegian settlers—later Swedish settlers changed the name to Andersonville, and the Summerdale name fell into disuse. The Swedish American Telephone Company Building was the first major industrial building in the Andersonville district of Edgewater. A sizable employer, the factory building spurred residential growth in the surrounding area. It was the first building of what would become an industrial corridor along the CNW tracks.</p><br>
<p>The factory building housed three significant companies in succession. Frank Betz was a former real estate developer who lost his fortune in the Panic of 1893, but quickly recovered as a manufacturer of bath cabinets. In 1899, he decided to expand his operations to include other supplies for hospitals and physicians. This required a larger manufacturing space, so he built a three-story building here; it was attached to two existing buildings in 1901, creating the large complex that stands today. By 1904, Betz & Co. had outgrown the Andersonville factory and moved to Hammond, Indiana.</p><br>
<p>When the patent on telephones expired in 1894, the Swedish American Telephone Company was one of the many small operations founded to supply the industry. Swedish American sold most of their products to the Chicago Telephone Co., a monopoly in the area. In 1902, the company was sold to Stromberg-Carlson, which itself was sold to Eastern Industrialist the next year. By 1905, Swedish American required a larger building to manufacture its products and moved into the recently vacated Betz & Co. building.</p><br>
<p>The next tenant was the Denoyer-Geppert Company, who moved into the building in 1923. They were best known for their educational pull-down maps for classrooms. They also manufactured models of human features for medical schools and developed educational film strips. The company was purchased by Rand McNally in 1984. Shortly after they moved out, the building was recognized by the National Park Service with a listing on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>The Nanyō Kōhatsu Kabushiki Kaisha complex was the main support base of the Nanyō Kōhatsu Kabushiki Kaisha  on the island Tinian in the Northern Mariana Islands. The NKKK was an economic development company established by the Empire of Japan to develop the territories of the South Seas Mandate, which it oversaw between the First and Second World Wars. In the Northern Marianas, the company aggressively developed arable areas for sugar cane farming, importing workers from Japan, Okinawa, and Korea. Each of the three major islands  had major support facility. On Tinian, this area, now roughly where the island&#39;s largest community, San Jose is located on the south coast, consisted of an extensive development, most of which was destroyed during the Battle of Tinian in the Second World War. Of this large complex, only four buildings or structures remain, all of which have been listed on the United States National Register of Historic Places, as rare surviving examples of pre-war Japanese architecture on the islands.</p><br>
<h2>Administration building</h2><br>
<p>The remains of the NKKK Administration Building are on the west side of San Jose, consisting of an unpainted concrete frame whose wooden elements, including the roof, are long gone. The frame measures 9.8 m wide, 14.3 m long, and is about 4.5 m tall. The main entrance, to the east, is identifiable by a canopy with unique fascia detailing not found on other surviving NKKK buildings in the region. When listed on the National Register in 1981, the structure was being used for storage, and its concrete was deteriorating.</p><br>
<h2>Laboratory building</h2><br>
<p>This building is a two-story unpainted concrete structure, measuring about 5.9 x with a wood-framed metal roof. Its window openings have Japanese-style concrete canopies sheltering them. It was one of the few two-story NKKK buildings, and is the only of the company&#39;s known laboratory building to survive. When listed on the National Register in 1981, it was being used as a private residence.</p><br>
<h2>Ice storage building</h2><br>
<p>The ice storage building, the only surviving building of its type in the islands, is located just north of the House of Taga. It is a single-story unpainted concrete structure, 6 x and 3.7 m tall. It has a single entrance at the northwest corner, and another opening on the west side. The interior is divided into two spaces by a concrete wall, the larger space serving as the main storage area. The roof is flat tar pitch covered with concrete tiles. Two of the exterior walls have wainscoting that is a cement mortar mixed with small aggregate. The building suffered some war damage to the west wall and the interior dividing wall.</p><br>
<h2>Unknown utility building</h2><br>
<p>One of the NKKKs surviving buildings has an unknown purpose. It is a single-story unpainted concrete structure, 3.9 x and 4.5 m tall. The only openings are a door and window on the north facade. Both were originally sheltered by concrete canopies, but that over the window was destroyed in the war. The original roof was also destroyed; it was apparently a gently-sloping shed roof. The buildings form is distinctive among surviving NKKK buildings in the Marianas. It was listed on the National Register as a "Japanese Structure".</p><br>
<p>The Henry Clay Mills House was a historic house at 425 North 15th Street in Van Buren, Arkansas. This modest frame house was built in 1892 by Henry Clay Mills, an African-American former slave turned businessman. Mills was born into slavery in 1847, and after the American Civil War worked for many years as a laborer on a plantation near Mulberry. He eventually developed a moving and shipping business in Van Buren, typifying advancement of African-Americans of the period from agricultural to non-agricultural economic opportunities.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1977. It has apparently been demolished, and was delisted in 2018.</p><br>

<p>The New Theatre is a historic theatre building at 11 North 10th Street in Fort Smith, Arkansas. The Beaux Arts building was built in 1911, and was supposedly modeled on the New Amsterdam Theatre in New York City. The building&#39;s facade features a rich variety of decoration, including terra cotta glazed tile, terra cotta brick work, and elaborate border cartouches. The theatre began as a performing arts venue, but was converted to nearly exclusive use as a film house in the 1940s. It was closed in the 1970s, and restoration efforts have been taking place sporadically since the 1990s.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999. It is vacant.</p><br>

<p>Hill 40 is a militarily historic landform on the island of Guam. It is located about 325 m east of Bangi Point, south of Agat on the island&#39;s west coast, rising to a height of 40 to 60 ft above the coastal plain, with a strategically significant view of the Agat Invasion Beach. This hill was the scene of some of the most intense fighting during the landing phase of the 1944 Battle of Guam as Allied forces sought to establish their beachhead against the defending Japanese forces. The American 4th Marine Regiment of the 1st Provisional Marine Brigade captured Hill 40 on June 21, 1944, the day of the landing. That night the Japanese launched a counteroffensive that successfully retook the hill on three occasions. The Marines regrouped and regained the hill each time. The final push came in the early morning hours of July 22. The Japanese 38th Regiment was wiped out during this military action, with 345 killed on the Bangi Point plain, immediately west of Hill 40 near the beach.</p><br>
<p>Hill 40 was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.</p><br>
<p>The Wheelwright Block is a historic commercial building at 34 Hammond Street in Bangor, Maine. Built in 1859, it occupies a central position in the citys West Market Square at the junction of Main, Broad, and Hammond Streets. It was the states first commercial Second Empire building, and notably survived both Bangor&#39;s devastating 1911 fire, and its major urban renewal programs of the late 1960s. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Wheelwright Block stands at the northern end of West Market Square, at the southeast corner of the junction of Main Street (United States Route 202) and Hammond Street (United States Route 2). It is four-story brick building, which is roughly L-shaped due to the angled corner lot, with a flared metal mansard roof with no dormers except for a single one facing the square. The floors are set off from one another by bands of projecting brickwork, and each have slightly different window treatment, although the number and arrangement of windows is consistent on the upper floors. The ground floor had mid-20th-century plate glass store fronts at the time of the building&#39;s listing on the National Register; this treatment has since been altered to have a reconstruction of the buildings original cast iron arched window frames. The window hoods on the upper floors are all original Italianate cast iron elements, with those on the third floor particularly elaborate.</p><br>
<p>The building was designed by Benjamin S. Deane, one of a handful of architects working in Maine in the first half of the 19th century, and was completed in 1859. It is believed to be the first commercial Second Empire building in the state, predating such buildings in the larger cities of Lewiston and Portland. It was built for Wheelwright & Clark, a local clothing business. The block survived Bangor&#39;s 1911 fire, which destroyed a large number of commercial buildings, and its 1968 urban renewal program, which also resulted in the demolition of a great many 19th-century commercial buildings.</p><br>

<h2>Significance</h2><br>
<p>John Morris patented 185 acres in what is now Rutherford County in 1769. This was perhaps his first grant in what was then known as Tryon County. To this land he added 250 acres in 1771 and an additional 200 in 1774, his homestead then amounting to 635 acres. The story is told that Morriss home place on this land was called Fox Haven (also the name of the present dwelling) because of a service rendered by an Indian to the early settler. The Indian, who called himself "Fox," gave warning of a planned raid on the area and thereafter had to take refuge on Morriss plantation which then came to be called Fox Haven.</p><br>
<p>John Morris was active in the early phase of the American Revolution and was elected by the freeholders of the county to the Tryon County Committee of Safety in 1775. In the same year, he was present at the meeting of the committee when it resolved to subscribe to an association against "the tools of ministerial vengeance and despotism for the subjugating of all British America...... " John Morris is said to have died in 1783, leaving the plantation to his son, James Morris, also a soldier in the American Revolution.</p><br>
<p>According to family tradition, James Morris built the present brick house in 1823 and used the plantation as a horse farm. In his will of 1855 he left "the home plantation, with the mansion in which I now live.... containing six hundred and thirty-six acres more or less" to his son, James B. Morris. The estate also included twenty-eight slaves. Fox Haven remained in the Morris family until it was sold in 1941 to W. S. Green. The present owners, Mr. and Mrs. Benjamin H. Sumner, bought the property, now 432 acres, in 1948.</p><br>
<p>Because of its unusual plan and chimney placement, Fox Haven is one of the more interesting examples of the two-story brick houses constructed in western North Carolina in the early nineteenth century. The house, which is in excellent condition, is distinguished by the well-executed Federal details of its entrance and lunettes.</p><br>
