<p>The Fontana Farms Company Ranch House, Camp No. 1 is a historic ranch house located at 8863 Pepper Street in Fontana, California. Built in 1905–06, it was the first building constructed in Fontana, then a rural community known as Rosena. The Semi-Tropic Land and Water Company platted Rosena in 1887, but no construction occurred in the area until after the Fontana Development Company bought the land in 1903. The company made plans to build a farm on the property, and construction began in 1905; the Camp No. 1 house served as the farm&#39;s main headquarters and housed its managers. The farm mainly grew grain crops, though it also had significant fruit and livestock operations. Fontana became an industrial city during World War II, and the ranch house is one of the few remnants of its agricultural past.</p><br>
<p>The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on November 1, 1982.</p><br>

<p>The Mount Tenjo Fortifications are a historic defensive gun battery site on Mount Tenjo, a hill overlooking Apra Harbor, the principal deep-water port on the island of Guam. The site includes concrete mounting pads for seven guns and the crumbling remains of a concrete command post structure. These facilities are located just below the crest of the hill on its west side. A defensive trench also extends along the top of the plateau-like hill. Unlike most early 20th-century fortifications on Guam, these facilities were built in the late 1910s by the United States Navy, and not by Japanese forces during the World War II occupation period. These are the only known surviving pre-World War II defensive fortification sites on the island. They were functionally abandoned as a result of the 1922 Washington Naval Conference. Mount Tenjo was the site of battle during the 1944 liberation of Guam.</p><br>

<p>The Clinton architectural firm of John Morrell & Son designed the building in the Chicago School style. Daniel Haring was the contractor who built it from 1912 to 1914. Three other phases expanded the building&#39;s size over the years. At one time the building housed a J. C. Penney store and a Walgreens. They both pulled out of the building and downtown Clinton in the late 1990s. The upper floors of the building housed professional offices. The building was already deteriorating when the Jacobsen Group bought it in 1998, and they stabilized the structure. Rock Island, Illinois-based Rock Island Economic Growth Corp started converting the building into 33 apartments in 2021. The $13.88 million project is expected to be completed in Mid-2022. Concurrently with the building renovation it continues to house commercial businesses.</p><br>

All the windows in the building have been reopened to their original forms. The steel fire escape on the north wall was also a later addition. The interior featured open stairwells and wood wainscoting.</p><br>
<p>The Pago Bay Japanese pillboxes are a pair of World War II-era coastal defense pillboxes located on the shore of Pago Bay, located on the central east coast of Guam. Built out of steel-reinforced concrete mixed with coral stone, these two structures were built by Japanese defenders during their occupation of the island between 1941 and 1944. They were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991 as Pagu Pillbox I and Pagu Pillbox II. Neither of these would have seen substantial action during the 1944 liberation of Guam, whose military activities were focused on the western, central, and northern parts of the island.</p><br>
<h2>Pillbox I</h2><br>
<p>The first pillbox is located about 120 m north of the mouth of the Pago River, and is about 1 m above the mean high tide line. It is roughly 4.0 x in size, and is partially filled with sand. Its gun port is located in the south wall, with a view over Pago Bay, and there is a window in the western wall, overlooking the river. The main entrance is on the north side, providing access to the single chamber of the interior. The roof is about 0.35 m thick, with an overhang on the south side. At the time of its National Register listings in 1991, it was partially buried and filled with sand.</p><br>
<h2>Pillbox II</h2><br>
<p>The second pillbox is located about 550 m west of Pago Point on the south side of the bay, also about 1 meter inland from the high tide line. It is a roughly hexagonal structure, with an open entrance on the west side, and gun ports facing north and northwest. The north wall is about 1 m thick, in part due to the addition of boulders on the outside. In one section of the northwest wall there are impressions of tree trunks, suggesting trees were used as part of the form for its construction or that logs were incorporated into the structure. The roof is 0.75 m thick, with two vents. The floor consists of coral and limestone rocks.</p><br>
<p>The Rocky Hill Historic District is a 176 acre historic district encompassing the historic core of the borough of Rocky Hill in Somerset County, New Jersey.

The building continues to serve county functions; it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The courthouse is located at the southeast corner of Court and High Streets, just north of Skowhegan&#39;s central business district. A modern court building, housing the local district court, stands across High Street to the north. The original 1873 portion of the building, oriented west toward Court Street, is a three-story brick structure with stone trim. It has a truncated hip roof that once sported a cupola (removed during the 1904 alterations), with a cornice that has heavy brackets. The front and sides each have slightly projecting central sections marked by corner brick pilasters, that in front topped by a gable roof. A single-story gable-roofed portico shelters the main entrance, supported by groups of chamfered granite posts. The upper two levels have windows set in tall round-arch openings.</p><br>
<p>To the rear of this main block stands a 1938 addition, two stories in height. Its entrance on the north side repeats details found in the main entrance, and the second-floor windows are also set in round-arch openings, not as elaborate as those of the original building. Brick pilasters and corbelling at the eave are also features repeated in the addition from the main block.</p><br>
<p>Somerset County was incorporated in 1809 from parts of Kennebec County, with its original county seat at Norridgewock. In 1872 the county seat was formally relocated to Skowhegan, provided that town could provide adequate space for county functions in a timely manner. Temporary space was deemed by the county commissioners to be inadequate, and a legal struggle ensued between the towns over the matter. This was resolved when former Governor of Maine Abner Coburn, a Skowhegan native and one of the states wealthiest men, offered to pay for the construction of a courthouse in his hometown. The original portion of the main block was designed by local architect Charles F. Douglas, and was completed in 1873. In 1904 the noted Portland architect John Calvin Stevens oversaw a renovation and expansion of the building, in which two bays were added to the rear, matching in style Douglas design, with a complete redesign of the interior. The building was then enlarged again in 1938.</p><br>

<p>The Washington Road Elm Allée is a 0.7 mi stretch of Washington Road in West Windsor, New Jersey that is lined with Princeton Elm trees. The allée runs through the West Windsor fields of Princeton University and provides, along with the bridge over Lake Carnegie, a dramatic entrance to the campus. The Delaware and Raritan Canal can be found at the northern end of the allée, just before the lake. A jogging path runs through the allée and connects to the canal towpath, the main campus of the university, and other trails through the adjacent fields.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<h3>Elm Allée</h3><br>
<p>The original allée was planted in the mid-1920s by Princeton Nurseries, at one time the country&#39;s largest commercial plant nursery. The Elm trees are of the Princeton variety, developed by Princeton Nurseries for its landscaping quality, and are resistant to Dutch elm disease, the only one of ten resistant cultivars to have trees that have reached maturity. Of the original 136 Elms planted in the 1920s only 76 survive. They are approximately 24-26 in in diameter and 60 ft tall. Their branches meet over the roadway to provide a leafy canopy. The allée has many replacement trees, including 16 Norway maples planted in the 1960s, and 31 Liberty elms planted in 1995. The secondary rows of Delaware Elms were planted in 1983, and a long row of forsythia to the east is thought to date from the late 1960s.</p><br>
<h3>Schenck-Covenhoven Burial Ground</h3><br>
<p>To the east of the Elm Allée, 1,100 ft from the road, along the jogging path, can be found the Schenck-Covenhoven Burial Ground, sometimes called the Old Conover Graveyard. It contains forty or fifty graves surrounded by a stone wall and is undoubtedly the oldest cemetery in West Windsor Township, with burials dating to at least 1751. The Schenck and Covenhoven families were Dutch farmers who purchased 6,000 acre in what is now West Windsor from William Penn in 1737. The Conover family was among the original settlers in Penns Neck, a settlement found at the south end of the allée. The cemetery has been in disuse for more than a century, though it receives some maintenance from the university.</p><br>

<p>The Calais Historic District encompasses a city block of 19th-century commercial buildings in the center of Calais, Maine. The district, developed after a fire devastated the area in 1870, contains a cohesive concentration of brick Italianate architecture. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The city of Calais is located in far eastern Maine, at the head of tide of the Saint Croix River, which forms the international border with the Canadian province of New Brunswick. Calais was incorporated as a city in 1850, and was at the time a center of the lumber and shipbuilding industries. In August 1870 a devastating fire swept through the city&#39;s central business district, destroying a large number of wood frame commercial buildings. Within one year, a significant portion of the area had been rebuilt, primarily in brick.</p><br>
<p>The historic district encompasses a one block stretch on the south side of Main Street, between North and Church Streets, and includes a few buildings along the latter two streets. All of the buildings along Main Street but one, were built in wake of the 1870 fire, and exhibit Italianate styling popular at that time. The exception is the Hill Building at 153 Main, which is a three-story brick Greek Revival structure built in 1847. The two buildings on the east side of North Street that extend south from the Hill Building are also Greek Revival buildings from the 1840s and 1850s.</p><br>
<p>The two buildings on Church Street that are part of the district are both civic buildings. Calais City Hall, located at 15 Church Street, is a Romanesque Revival structure built in 1901, and the former fire station at 13 Church Street was built in 1874, with its tower and belfry added in 1895-96. City Hall was designed by H. A. Crosby.</p><br>

In 1832, the John Bull, the first locomotive in the country, provided the first steam-powered passenger rail service in the country, stopping at Stockton Street. In July 2015, Hightstown became a Preserve America community which enhances historic preservation, including the district.</p><br>
<p>The McBirney Mansion in Tulsa, Oklahoma was the home of James H. McBirney, co-founder of the Bank of Commerce in Tulsa in 1904. He was the original owner of the mansion, built by architect John Long in 1928, and lived there until 1976. The mansion contained 15,900 ft2 and sits on a 2.91 acres lot. The mansion was bought by Donna and Roger Hardesty who lived there for 5 years. Eventually it was bought by a law firm that turned it into a law office. By 2007, was purchased by former American Airlines President George Warde, who had plans to transform it into a boutique hotel. In the meantime, the McBirney Mansion was used as an event center. Warde died in 2012, and events stopped being held at McBirney. By February 2012, the Pauls Corporation, a Denver real estate management company, acquired the mansion as part of the suits settlement. Tulsa attorney Gentner Drummond bought the mansion from Pauls Corp. in 2014, announcing his intention to make it his familys home.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Gothic Revival mansion was designed for James McBirney by John Long, a Kansas City architect. Its site was in Childer&#39;s Heights, a residential area located near the Arkansas River, south of downtown Tulsa. The site is at 1414 South Galveston Avenue. Its coordinates are latitude 36.14171 and longitude -95.99183.</p><br>
<p>Childers Heights Addition is now a part of the Riverside Historical District.

<p>The grounds surrounding the mansion are landscaped with trees, especially magnolias and cedars. The ground at the rear slope toward the Arkansas River. This area also features a rock garden, a grotto and a fresh water spring that has its own historical importance. The spring (now known as "McBirney Spring") is fed by an underground source that has surfaced here since before the Creek Nation stopped in the Tulsa area after their forced emigration. It is said that Washington Irving stopped here in 1832 and subsequently wrote about the spring. The spring was also used by early cattlemen to water their stock before fording the Arkansas River.</p><br>
<h2>Conversion to other uses</h2><br>
<p>In 1975, the home was sold by the McBirney family to a local couple, Roger and Donna Hardesty. The Hardestys then sold it to the Doyle, Holmes, Gasaway and Green law firm, who converted it to their office.</p><br>
<p>In the mid 90s, the mansion was affiliated with Tulsa Regional Medical Center, in conjunction with The Rader Institute, an inpatient treatment center for eating disorders. By 1999, McBirney Mansion was a bed and breakfast which hosted wedding venues as well.</p><br>
<p>In January, 2007, three men, doing business as WSL Properties LLC, announced plans to buy the McBirney Mansion and convert it to an 80-suite luxury hotel encompassing 112,000 ft2. The three investors were George Warde, Jim Seawright and Jack Lee. The announcement said they expected to spend $23 million to convert the facility from a bed and breakfast to a hotel, including adding a 100,000 ft2, an underground garage and a meeting facility. The seller was McBirney Asset Management Inc. dba Caroline Cardin, and the price was listed at $2.2 million.</p><br>
<p>Gentner Drummond, a Tulsa attorney, bought the mansion from Pauls Corporation in 2014 for $2.03 million. He and his wife intended to make it their family home. Although the house was in excellent shape, they immediately began to replace some of the kitchen appliances.</p><br>

<p>The Samuel Sloan House is a historic antebellum home in Hightstown, New Jersey. It is considered the finest home from the early history of the town. Its architecture can be described as Carpenter Italianate, with the impressive massing associated with an Italian villa combined with fanciful jigsaw carpentry. The home was originally thought to have designed by the architect, Samuel Sloan, as that name was found inscribed in a nineteenth century hand on a piece of millwork in the house. However, further research in 1997 established that the Samuel Sloan who built the home was in fact a local merchant and not the famed architect. It is currently a part of the Peddie School campus.</p><br>

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on November 19, 1974 for its significance in architecture, commerce, and industry.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Tradition holds that Isaac Smith received a 1,000 acre land grant in 1726 from the English Crown. It is thought that shortly thereafter he built the first house and mill on the site, shipping processed grain down the river to Philadelphia. It is probable that the mill provided flour to the Continental Army during the American Revolution. The opening of the Delaware and Raritan Canal next to the mill in 1834 greatly improved its business, leading to its expansion in the 1840s. The mill continued in operation until the early Depression by which point modern automated mill technology rendered its manual operations obsolete. The mill documents the beginnings, development, and decline of a pre-20th century rural manufacturing process.</p><br>
