<p>The Drouillard House is a historic house at Cumberland Furnace, Tennessee. Built in 1868–1870 in the vicinity of Cumberland Furnace, the three-story house was a summer residence for Nashville socialite Mary Florence Kirkman and her husband Captain James Pierre Drouillard. It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since December 27, 1977. It is also part of the Cumberland Furnace Historic District.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>When established in 1795 by Gen. James Robertson, Cumberland Iron Works was the first furnace in Middle Tennessee. After a lacklustre decade, the iron works and the surrounding 640 acres were bought by Montgomery Bell for $16,000 in 1804. Bell "quickly turned Cumberland Furnace into a money-maker" and was able to sell it in 1825, together with the surrounding acres, for thrice the amount of money he had paid for it to Anthony Wayne Van Leer. Van Leer was a member of a well-known family in Chester County, Pennsylvania, where he was noted in the anti-slavery cause.</p><br>
<p>One of their cabins in Pennsylvania were used as a station for the Underground Railroad Most Tennessee businesses had enslaved labor, despite this, all Anthony&#39;s workforce were paid fair salaries for the time.</p><br>
<p>Van Leer and partners operated the iron works for the next four decades, up until the beginning of the American Civil War. He shut down the iron works and moved to Nashville. Most of his relatives stayed in Pennsylvania. He offered his home as a Union headquarters.</p><br>
<p>For a few years, the Cumberland Furnace was managed by Van Leer&#39;s son-in-low, Hugh Kirkman, husband of his daughter, Eleanora C. VanLeer. After the death of Anthony Van Leer on July 9, 1863, the furnace and the surrounding area, and 85 enslaved African Americans, were inherited by his grandchildren, Mary Florence Kirkman and her brother VanLeer Kirkman. After the war, all former slaves were kept on payroll.</p><br>
<p>Florence Kirkman married Union Army Captain James Pierre Drouillard in 1864, which was considered scandalous in Nashville, as Tennessee had been occupied by Union troops since 1862.</p><br>
<p>Captain Drouillard reopened the furnace after the war, and operated it until it was sold in 1889 to the Southern Iron Company. He and Florence lived in the town, building a large house for their use as a country retreat.</p><br>
<p>Mary Florence Drouillard had their house designed after one she had seen in Newport, Rhode Island, a resort town for East Coast elite where she spent summers as a young woman while at school in New York. The Drouillard House was built in 1870. The Drouillard couple hosted lavish summer parties for guests from Nashville and New Orleans until 1886. At that time, they returned to Nashville. During the period when they lived at Cumberland Furnace, the Drouillards donated money to build a church for the community and a parish school to serve both white and black children. The St. James Episcopal Church is also listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>Completed in 1870, the Italianate style house is clapboard siding over frame, with a 10-foot deep veranda porch over 100 feet in length skirting the north facade. The house has two wings, and the kitchen is in the east wing. A three-story spiral staircase that goes up to an observation deck is a notable interior feature.</p><br>
<p>The Pennington County Courthouse, located at 315 St. Joseph Street in Rapid City, is the county courthouse serving Pennington County, South Dakota. The courthouse has functioned as the seat of Pennington County government since it was built in 1922. Architecture firm W. E. Hulse & Company of Hutchinson, Kansas designed the building in the Beaux-Arts style. The three-story building is built from Indiana limestone and has terra cotta trim. The two-story front entrance is divided into sections by four pairs of Ionic columns; three large arched windows decorated with muntin and topped by keystones decorate the three main sections. The entrance, located at what would be the bottom of the middle window, features iron grilles on its windows and transom and is topped by a cartouche. A frieze with ornamental medallions and a dentillated cornice surround the building above its second story.</p><br>
<p>The courthouse was added to the National Register of Historic Places on May 28, 1976.</p><br>
<p>The Alpha Delta Pi Sorority House is a historic sorority house located at the University of Illinois at Urbana&ndash;Champaign in Urbana, Illinois. The house was built in 1926 for the university&#39;s Sigma chapter of the Alpha Delta Pi sorority, which was chartered in 1912. The Berwyn architecture firm of William H. Clare and Alban E. Coen designed the house in the French Eclectic style. The style became popular in the 1920s thanks to returning soldiers from World War I and several studies of French cottages. Key features of the style present in the sorority house include its asymmetrical massing, steep slate hip roof with multiple dormers, limestone quoins and string course, bay windows, and arched corner entryway.</p><br>
<p>The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on November 8, 2000.</p><br>
<p>The Robyville Bridge is a historic covered bridge in Corinth, Maine. Built in 1876, this Howe truss bridge is one of the state&#39;s few surviving 19th-century covered bridges. It carries Covered Bridge Road across Kenduskeag Stream in the southern part of the rural community. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1970 and designated as a Maine Historic Civil Engineering Landmark by the American Society of Civil Engineers in 2002.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Kenduskeag Stream flows southeast across the rural town of Corinth en route to the Penobscot River at Bangor. The Robyville area of the town was for many years the site of sawmills, possibly dating to the community&#39;s early settlement in the late 18th century. It is unknown how many bridges may have stood at or near this location prior to the construction of this bridge in 1876.</p><br>
<p>The Robyville Bridge is oriented roughly north-south across the stream. It is a single-span structure 76 ft long, with a portal clearance of 14 ft and a total structure height of 16 ft. It is set on abutments fashioned out of large rough-cut granite blocks; the southern abutment has been reinforced in the 20th century with concrete. The bridges trusses are a modified Howe truss, in which the king posts near the center of the span have been doubled, and some of the cross braces have also been doubled. Crossbeams join the trusses below the roadbed, which is built out of stringers that parallel the bed, planking running side to side, and a pair of spaced wheel runways. The bridges walls are clad in wooden shingles, and its roof is covered in asphalt shingles. The bridge is open to traffic, and received major rehabilitation in 1984.</p><br>
<p>Libby&#39;s Colonial Tea Room is a historic commercial building at 2713 Post Road  in Wells, Maine. Built in 1922 as a restaurant, the building is now home to the Johnson Hall Museum, a privately run museum of Americana. The building, a rare survivor in the area of automobile-related tourist accommodations from the 1920s, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2001.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Johnson Hall Museum is located on the east side of US Route 1 in northeastern Wells, opposite Harrisecket Road. A semi-circular drive provides access to the low-slung single-story building. It has a broad low-pitch roof with a cross-gable configuration, which extends over a wraparound porch supported by Tuscan columns. A porte-cochere with gable roof projects from the front. The gables of the roof have deep eaves, with large Craftsman-style brackets. The main entrance is at the center of the front facade, flanked by columns and topped by a fanlight and bracketed cornice. The interior is divided into a waiting room with offices and bathrooms to the sides, and a large dining room.</p><br>
<p>Elsie Klingman Libby operated a restaurant of some sort, probably out of a 19th-century house, at this site until it was destroyed by fire in 1922. She quickly rebuilt, constructing this building to house her establishment. She operated the tea room until 1942, when declining tourism due to World War II brought about its demise. Its guests notably included Franklin Delano Roosevelt, who visited in 1932 while campaigning for president.</p><br>
<p>The building now houses the Johnson Hall Museum but its future is uncertain. The museums founder, William “Bill” Johnson, died in 2014, and most of the museums contents were auctioned off in 2015.</p><br>
<p>Gene Stratton-Porter Cabin, , known as the Limberlost Cabin and the Limberlost State Historic Site, was the former home of Gene Stratton Porter, a noted Indiana author who lived in the home from 1895 to 1913. The two-story, fourteen-room log cabin is located near the Limberlost Swamp on the outskirts of Geneva in Adams County, Indiana. Stratton-Porter designed the Queen Anne-style rustic home with the help of an architect. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.</p><br>
<p>Stratton-Porter, who began her literary career in 1900, used the cabin as the base for her field research, natural history collecting, writing projects, and photographic work. She wrote The Song of the Cardinal (1903) and researched Moths of the Limberlost (1912) while living at the cabin. Stratton-Porter also used the Limberlost area as the setting for three novels: Freckles (1904) and A Girl of the Limberlost (1909) and Laddie (1913).</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Gene Stratton-Porter, her husband, Charles Dorwin Porter, and their daughter Jeannette, moved from Decatur to Geneva, Indiana, after Jeanette&#39;s birth in 1887. Construction began on their new, two-story home at 200 East Sixth Avenue in Geneva in 1894. Stratton-Porter designed the home, which was described as "the most pretentious dwelling in the Geneva area," with the help of an architect. The cabin was completed in 1895, the same year that she began to write and publish her first magazine articles. The Porters named their new home Limberlost Cabin in reference to its location near the Limberlost Swamp, in Adams and Jay Counties, where Stratton-Porter found the inspiration for her writing. Stratton-Porter lived in the cabin at Geneva with her husband and daughter for eighteen years and referred to their large, fourteen-room home as "the cabin."</p><br>
<p>Between 1888 and 1910, the area&#39;s wetlands at the Limberlost Swamp were drained to reclaim the land for commercial and agricultural development. By 1912 the work to drain the wetlands for cultivation was complete and the natural habitat of the wildlife that Stratton-Porter documented in her books was destroyed. As a result of the development, Stratton-Porter decided to relocate. In 1914 Stratton-Porter and her family moved from the Limberlost Cabin to a new cabin that she called Wildflower Woods at Sylvan Lake near Rome City in Noble County, Indiana, about 80 mi from Geneva. Charles Porter continued to live at Limberlost Cabin and commuted to Sylvan Lake on the weekends. The Porters sold the property in Geneva in 1923.</p><br>
<p>The Limberlost Conservation Association of Geneva donated the Limberlost Cabin to the State of Indiana in 1947. The Indiana State Museum and Historic Sites operates the state historic site as a historic house museum. Some of Stratton-Porter&#39;s possessions are on display in the cabin, including her collection of mounted moths, household furnishings, and other memorabilia. The property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974. The site is open to the public and includes the Limberlost Cabin, a carriage house, and a visitor center. Guided tours of the cabin are available.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>Working with an architect, Stratton-Porter designed a two-story, fourteen-room home for her family in the late 1890s. The home was inspired by the Forestry Building at the World&#39;s Columbian Exposition in Chicago, which the Porters visited in 1893.</p><br>
<p>The two-story, Queen Anne-style home has a Wisconsin white cedar-log exterior and features California redwood shingles on the upper story. The front facade features a single-story wraparound porch with log pillars across the front and east side. The fourteen-room home includes a wood-framed interior with red oak panels in the entrance hall, dining room, and library. The first floor also contains a kitchen, two bedrooms, a music room, a small conservatory, and a full bathroom (which Stratton-Porter also used as a photographic darkroom). The second floor included four large rooms. The home also featured seven fireplaces, large windows, and white oak floors. A cedar-log barn/carriage house was erected behind the home. The property also included a yard filled with fruit trees, vines, and bushes, as well as a large flower garden.</p><br>
<h2>Significance</h2><br>
<p>The Limberlost Cabin, in addition to serving as the Porters residence, was Stratton-Porters base for her field research, natural history collecting, writing projects, and photographic work. While residing in Geneva, Stratton-Porter spent much of her time exploring, observing nature, sketching, and making photographs at the Limberlost Swamp. The cabin is also where she began writing her literary career at the age of thirty-six. Stratton-Porter used her fictional writings to educate readers about birding and nature while interlacing the stories with romance and moral lessons. Her popularity was so high during World War I that "reprints of the novel were said to have littered the trenches."</p><br>
<p>Stratton-Porter&#39;s first published article appeared in Recreation magazine in 1900 when she was living at Limberlost Cabin. She also wrote her first novel, The Song of the Cardinal (1903), while living there. Stratton-Porter used the nearby swamp for research for her natural history book, Moths of the Limberlost (1912), as well. In addition, the area was the setting for three of her popular novels: Freckles (1904), A Girl of the Limberlost (1909) and Laddie (1913). While a resident of Geneva, Stratton-Porter became known as "The Bird Lady" and "The Lady of the Limberlost" to her friends and readers.</p><br>

<p>The Doncaster Round Barn, also called "Bayers&#39; Barn" and "the Round Barn at Twin Bridges" is a three-story, wood-framed round barn located about 1.5 mi north of Twin Bridges, Montana. Built about 1882 by mining entrepreneur Noah Armstrong to house his race horses, and featuring a 20 ft-wide indoor circular aisle that was used for exercising horses, it is a National Register of Historic Places property notable for its unique architecture and as the birthplace of the Thoroughbred racehorse, Spokane, winner of the 1889 Kentucky Derby.</p><br>
<h2>Background</h2><br>
<p>Armstrong had made his fortune in mining, and at one time operated the Hecla Consolidated Mining Company near Glendale, Montana. During that time, he organized horse races in the mining camp, and after leaving the business he obtained property in the Jefferson River valley, near Twin Bridges, and began to raise race horses. He bought the original property from his son, and purchased additional surrounding land until he owned 4,000 acre, which he originally named the Doncaster Farm, in honor of the famed English Thoroughbred race horse Doncaster, whom Armstrong admired.</p><br>
<h2>Design</h2><br>
<p>The barn was built in 1882 in accordance with a design by Armstrong and is believed to have been built by local craftsmen from area materials. The first floor is about 100 ft in diameter, the second floor 75 ft, and the third floor 30 ft. The barn stands 48 ft high from ground level to the top of the ceiling in the third floor.</p><br>
<p>The foundation was set on stone abutments quarried from rock in a canyon located about 5 mi away. Armstrong stated they were driven twelve feet below the water table and set on bedrock. The walls were of wooden planks, made of three thicknesses of lumber deep, said to be insulated with "double sheets of building paper" between each layer of lumber. The entrance to the barn originally featured an engraved 4 by horse scene placed over the door.</p><br>
<p>The barn featured a 20 ft wide, indoor training track with dirt footing, claimed to be “nearly a quarter-mile” in circumference, on the ground floor, where Armstrongs horses were exercised. Horses normally kept outside could be sheltered there in bad weather. There were 26 box stalls on the first floor, around the outside of the track, with dividing walls only four feet high between the stalls so the horses could see one another, as Armstrong believed that "this promotion of neighborly companionship greatly the monotony of indoor horse life." Each stall included a doorway to the outside and a window. The doorways led to 26 paddocks, one for each horse, covering 2+1/2 acre. A circular structure in the center contained the tack room, two hospital stalls, and a spiral stairway. There was also an “elevator” for moving hay and grain, and a well shaft was sunk in the center of the barn, which, with the aid of a windmill on a 12 ft tower at the top of the barn, drew water that was stored in an 11,000 USgal tank on the third floor. The first floors also included office space and sleeping quarters for staff. The second floor was claimed to hold up to 50 tons of hay and 12,000 bushels of grain. The floor sloped and chutes were cut into the floor so that feed could be easily deposited into the mangers of the horse stalls below. Water from the third floor tank went through a gravity-based plumbing system to each horses stall.</p><br>
<p>Charles Armstrong, Noah&#39;s son, said the barn "may truly be called a model of architectural beauty and convenience. This structure is so novel in its conception, so convenient in its economy, and withal so admirably adapted to the purposes of its creation, that a description of it cannot but be of interest to the readers of this sketch."</p><br>
<h2>Operation and ownership</h2><br>
<p>Armstrong believed that Montanas high altitude and the nutrient-rich farmland along the Jefferson River made the location ideal for raising superior racehorses. Her foal, Armstrongs chestnut race horse, Spokane, was foaled in the barn in 1886, and the horses early training was on the barns indoor track. After being shipped east at age 2 for race training, Spokane won the Kentucky Derby in 1889, defeating the favorite, then went on to win other major eastern races. Although popular legend states he returned to Montana, there is not evidence that he did so. He was advertised as standing at stud in Kentucky.</p><br>
<p>The Panic of 1893 caused financial hardship for the Doncaster operation. Armstrong sold the ranch to Max Lauterbach and left Montana in 1900. From there, the barn was owned by a number of different people, and fell into disrepair until purchased by the Bayers family, who owned the Doncaster Farm property from 1933 until 1997. Arthur and Elizabeth Bayers raised Hereford cattle and were major breeders who sold their stock all over North America and held a cattle sale every year in the barn. Their son, Byron Bayers, estimated that their cattle sales over the years topped $5 million. The barn&#39;s upkeep was very expensive, particularly the cost of red paint.</p><br>
<p>The Bayers sold the parcel of land where the barn sat in 1985, and it again fall into disrepair. In 1997, it was purchased by real estate developer and local rancher named Allan Hamilton, who began to renovate the building. He had a new roof put on the building and re-leveled the foundation. In 2010, the property was purchased by Tony and Amie James. They formed Swift River investments, a Massachusetts-based business, and began to renovate the structure into a community center. Though "everyone" thought it had been listed on the National Register of Historic Places, no one had done so. In January 2015, the Montana Historic Preservation Board met and unanimously agreed to nominate it. The structure was placed on the NRHP on April 14, 2015.</p><br>
<p>The building was a Montana Cowboy Hall of Fame Legacy Award Inductee in 2008. The Jameses had been willing to donate the building to house the Montana Cowboy Hall of Fame itself, but a location in Big Timber, Montana was ultimately selected.</p><br>

Built in 1888, the brick, stucco, stone and cast iron structure stands on a high bluff overlooking the Commencement Bay harbor and extensive railroad switching yards that fan out across the tide flats below at the mouth of the Puyallup River where it flows into Puget Sound. The flats are densely developed with heavy industry that has grown up around the railroad facilities and the Port of Tacoma. The site was originally a choice location across from the Tacoma City Hall  and at the north end of Pacific Avenue, the main street through the citys central business district.</p><br>
<p>The building is in Victorian Era Second Empire design, in typical grandiosity and formality.</p><br>
<p>Triangular in plan to fit the street plan and the bluff. There is a four-story circular tower on the north, which widens in a series of curves and re-entrant angles to become a conventional four-story rectangular plan. The rectangular section was demolished in 1975. The remaining structure is three stories in height. A bracketed entablature continued around the tower, separating the three lower stories from the top floor and the lantern above.</p><br>
<p>The foundation is ashlar stone to the first floor. There is a substantial water table with brick walls, covered by stucco. A narrow belt course divides the second and third floors from the one below. The belt rests on the capitals of pilasters that divide the wall into a series of panels.</p><br>
<p>The frieze atop the third floor continues from the tower section to the four-story rectangular section. The rectangular section was demolished in 1974. The cornice, an elaborate belt course did not carry over from the tower section. The strip pilasters have a broad pediment on the second floor level. A cornice at the top of the tower conceals a gable roof. The four-story, rectangular section had a flat roof. The tower is topped with a low conical mansard roof and lantern. There are two street level entrances. A formal entrance has a suspended canopy with double doors and a transom arch on pilasters. A second entrance is further down the street.</p><br>
<p>In the late 1920s, while the building was serving as an annex to city hall, the four-story section at the south end of the building was demolished and rebuilt to serve as Tacoma&#39;s city jail. It was demolished in 1974 to widen Pacific Avenue. A blank brick and concrete wall remains with some of the roof structure exposed.</p><br>
<h2>Interior</h2><br>
<p>The building contained 53 offices and storerooms and 19 fireproof vaults. General management of the Northern Pacific had offices on the first and second floor. These included; the Assistant General Manager, Assistant Superintendent of Transportation, Northern Pacific Coal Company, Tacoma Land Company, the Legal Department, Road Master, Superintendent of Bridges, Northern Pacific Express Company and the city ticket and freight offices. The third floor was used by the engineering department and a telegraph room. An employees cafeteria occupied the fourth floor in the tower.</p><br>

<p>The Hopkins County Courthouse is a historic courthouse located in Sulphur Springs, Texas, the seat of Hopkins County. It was designed by San Antonio-based architect James Riely Gordon and constructed in 1894 and 1895. The courthouse was built in the Romanesque Revival architectural style with red sandstone and pink granite, and its design includes a number of unusual features, such as a double-helix staircase, a clockless tower, and entrances that are located on its northwest and southwest corners, instead of on its sides.</p><br>
<p>The building was restored in 2001 and 2002 at a cost of $3.66 million to the State of Texas and $1.3 million to Hopkins County, and it continues to serve as an operating courthouse that is open to the public on a daily basis. The courthouse has also received numerous awards and accolades, including its designation as a Recorded Texas Historic Landmark in 1975 and its addition to the National Register of Historic Places in 1977.</p><br>
<h2>Background</h2><br>
<p>After Hopkins County was created by the Texas Legislature in 1846, Tarrant was initially designated as the county seat, and a courthouse was constructed there in 1853. In 1868, during the Reconstruction Era, the United States military moved the county seat to Sulphur Springs, which was at the time known as Bright Star. In 1882, Hopkins County constructed its first brick courthouse there; in 1894, this building burned along with the jail and a number of Sulphur Springs&#39; commercial buildings, which necessitated the creation of a replacement courthouse.</p><br>
<h2>Design and construction</h2><br>
<p>The courthouse, which was designed by San Antonio-based architect James Riely Gordon, was constructed in 1894 and 1895. It was one of approximately 18 Texas county courthouses designed by Gordon, whose architectural designs could also be found in Texas cities such as Decatur, La Grange, New Braunfels, San Antonio, Stephenville, Waco, Waxahachie, and Victoria.</p><br>
<p>The Hopkins County Courthouse was built in the Romanesque Revival architectural style with red sandstone and pink granite. It also features an unusual double-helix staircase with cast-iron stairs as well as marble wainscoting, masonry interiors, oak woodwork, and stone and tile flooring. The building was constructed with a clockless tower because, as one of the towns early leaders declared, "f you get up when the sun rises and go to bed when it sets, you dont need a clock."</p><br>
<p>Due to its alignment on Courthouse Square, the building&#39;s entrances are somewhat unusually located on its northwest and southwest corners, instead of on its sides. Its entrances feature Roman arches with second-story porticos and third-story open porches above them.</p><br>
<p>Dallas-based Sonnerfield & Ammins received the contract to build the courthouse at a price of $52,410, although the cost ultimately climbed to $75,000, due largely to the added expense of installing steel bracing rods for enhancing the safety of the building.</p><br>
<h2>Restoration</h2><br>
<p>The Hopkins County Courthouse was restored in 2001 and 2002. Prior to its full restoration, the building had only been repaired three times: in 1945, 1971, and 1979–80, the latter of which restored the appearance of the third-floor jury room. By the turn of the 21st century, years of wear and exposure to the elements had caused deterioration of the building&#39;s sandstone and windows as well as a persistent problem with groundwater infiltration. Other major problems afflicting the building included rotting window casings, a roof turret in danger of collapse, overloaded wiring, lack of an elevator, and the general sense that the entire courthouse was a fire hazard.</p><br>
<p>Completed in December 2002, the restoration refurbished both the interior and the exterior of the building, upgraded its systems, and brought it into compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). In total, the State of Texas spent $3.66 million on the restoration while Hopkins County contributed $1.3 million; the remainder of the funding was raised by private donors, $100,000 of which was contributed by Mary Bonham. After nearly two years of restoration, the courthouse was publicly rededicated on December 7, 2002.</p><br>
<h2>Operation</h2><br>
<p>The Hopkins County Courthouse is an operating courthouse that is open to the public on a daily basis., it is still home to the 8th and 62nd Judicial Districts; it contains courtrooms, jury rooms, and the offices of the auditor, commissioners, county judge, district clerk, and treasurer. In 2005 the building was also available for use as a concert and wedding venue.</p><br>
<h2>Awards and accolades</h2><br>
<p>The Hopkins County Courthouse was named a Recorded Texas Historic Landmark in 1975, and it was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1977. It also received Round One of a Texas Historical Commission Courthouse Preservation Grant in 2000, shortly before its restoration began; this grant program was an initiative of then-Governor George W. Bush, who personally toured the Hopkins County Courthouse in October 1998 while the program was still a proposal.</p><br>
<p>The courthouse also won the East Texas Historical Association&#39;s Lucille Terry Historical Preservation Award in 2005. In December 2013, County Line Magazine awarded the building the honor of "Best County Courthouse" in its annual "Best of the Upper East Side of Texas" survey, the third time it had received this designation.</p><br>
<p>The Hutchinson House is a historic house at 400 Alstead Center Road in Alstead, New Hampshire, United States. Built in 1805–09, it is one of a small number of Georgian houses in southwestern New Hampshire. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in February 2015.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>It is one of the few full Georgian-plan houses in western New Hampshire, and is similar to the Pierce Mansion in Hillsborough and the Faxon House in Washington, New Hampshire. It was built over the period 1805–1809, with construction probably delayed by the economic hardships during the second Jefferson administration. The interior of the house displays the changes in taste that were occurring during the early nineteenth century, and may have been occasioned by the extended period of construction. The interior of the south side of the house is in the Georgian mode with paneled fireplace walls and doors with the typical Georgian panel arrangement. On the north side the Federal style predominates with Federal-style door panel arrangement (small panels at the top of the door rather than in the middle). The Federal style is further reflected in the stenciled walls in both northern chambers. These stencils are attributed to Moses Eaton Jr. Another unusual feature is the presence of two kitchens, each with cooking fireplaces and intact bake ovens.</p><br>
<p>In 1813 the house was purchased by merchant Major Samuel Hutchinson, the adopted son of General Amos Shepard, a prominent figure in the commercial, political and military affairs of the period. The house remained in the Hutchinson family until the 1850s, then passed through several owners until 1892 when it was purchased by the family of Henry F. Hitch of South Orange, New Jersey, as a retirement home and summer escape from the uncomfortable conditions of the New York City area. Mrs. Hitch was a Delano descendant, and second cousin to Sara Delano Roosevelt, mother of President Franklin D. Roosevelt. The house remained in the Hitch family until the 1960s. During the first half of the twentieth century the Hutchinson house was one of a number of early homes in Alstead Center that were used as summer places for affluent families from New York and New Jersey.</p><br>
<p>Honolulu House, also known as the Abner Pratt House, is a historic home in Marshall, Michigan, built in 1860 as a Hawaiian-inspired house with Italianate and Gothic Revival styles.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The house was built by Abner Pratt, a former chief justice of the Michigan Supreme Court and United States Consul to Hawaii under President James Buchanan. Pratt lived in the Hawaiian islands for many years, and after settling in Marshall, he began to recreate his former surroundings by building Honolulu House. The Honolulu house has a sprawling wraparound porch, reminiscent of the Hawaiian &#39;Iolani Palace. The walls were painted with tropical scenes.</p><br>
<p>Pratt died of pneumonia in 1863.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>

<p>The Kennebunk Historic District encompasses a large portion of the historic town center of Kennebunk, Maine. Established in 1736, the district includes a significant number of fairly high-style houses from the late 18th and early 19th centuries, when Kennebunk was at its height as a shipbuilding and maritime shipping center. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The town of Kennebunk, Maine is located on the coast of southern Maine, between the Kennebunk River (the boundary with Kennebunkport) to the north, and the Little River, which forms the boundary with Wells. This area was part of Wells in the 17th and 18th centuries, and was set off in 1820. Its village center is located inland on the Mousam River, which roughly bisects the town. This area was first permanently settled in 1736, and a corridor between the Mousam and Kennebunk Rivers soon developed, along what is now Summer Street (Maine State Route 35). The village center is focused on the former Post Road, now United States Route 1, on the east side of the Mousam River. The town&#39;s historic shipyards, which have not survived, were located on the west bank of the Kennebunk River.</p><br>
<p>The historic district includes a significant portion of the Kennebunk village center, and stretches along SR 35 roughly to the Kennebunk Landing area at Durrells Landing Road. The oldest houses in the district date to the 1750s and 1760s, including most notably the Lord Mansion at 20 Summer Street, whose older portion is an ell attached to a fine Federal period built in 1804. The northern portion of Summer Street is lined with houses built primarily in the first half of the 19th century for ships captains. The most elaborate and eye-catching of these is the so-called "Wedding Cake House", built in 1826 for a shipyard owner, and given an elaborate Gothic Revival treatment in the 1850s. The 1776 Barnard Tavern (#10 on the nomination form) was taken down in 2023-24.</p><br>
<p>The Pantages Theatre or Jones Building in Tacoma, Washington was designed by the architect B. Marcus Priteca. The unusual structure opened in January 1918. However, the theatre was commissioned in 1916 by the theatre manager Alexander Pantages. It was designed to be an office building and a vaudeville theatre. The theater&#39;s Second Renaissance Revival style is juxtaposed with the Commercial style. The exterior above the ground floor is largely unaltered. The building still houses entertainment and commercial activities  A brief overview of the owner and renovation history, in 1916–1918, B. Marcus Priteca with Edwin W. Houghton; 1955 remodel, Carlson, Eley, and Grevstad; 1982–1983 renovation, Richard F. McCann; 2006 entrance/lobby renovation, Korth Sunseri Hagey and Grulich Architecture and Planning; 2014 stage expansion and structural renovations, BCRA. 901 Broadway.</p><br>
<h2>Exterior</h2><br>
<p>It stands at the end of a block formed by Commerce Street, Ninth Street, and Broadway Plaza. The setting is characterized of downtown commercial activities and remains faithful to late 19th and early 20th century streetscapes. The theatre-office building measures 100 ft on the north (Ninth Street) by 115 ft along the west (Broadway). The building uses a steel framed with reinforced concrete walls. The Ninth Street and Broadway facades are white, glazed terra cotta in a matt finish. The Commerce Street façade is yellowish-toned brick.</p><br>
<p>The Ninth Street facade of the Theater is divided horizontally into three major sections, and vertically into five bays. The lower level of the facade, which conforms to the steep Ninth Street grade, has received a minimum of elaboration - typical of a Renaissance, palazzo base. The central level of this elevation, equivalent to three stories in height, features a triple-arched blind arcade set within the three central bays. Each individual archway: is punctuated by a pedimented, structural opening with a large ornamental cartouche above. These central bays are each framed by imposing, pseudo-Corinthian pilasters and half pilasters, full three stories, in height. The blind arcade is solidly flanked by sparsely-decorated outermost bays. Structural openings on the same level as those of the central bays are capped with segmental-arched pediments. Five bracketed balconettes underline these openings, creating a strong horizontal course, which firmly ties the variant bays together. A heavily proportioned entablature repeats the-horizontal movement across the full five bays on this facade. The entablature has a simple architrave, festooned frieze, and cornice with a boldly projecting dentil course. A substantial parapet above the cornice is simply ornamented with raised terra cotta rosettes, and rectangles.</p><br>
<h2>Interior</h2><br>
<p>1918The theatre was designed as a combination office and Theatre. The setup of the main auditorium has seating accommodations for 900 with three boxes on each side.</p><br>
<p>In March 1976, a proposal was prepared for the “Adaptation of the Tacoma Pantages Theatre”, by Richard F. McCann, A.I. A. M.H. Company P. S. that prepared and did the architecture renovations is the joint practice of and George T. Howard, formerly associates of the late B. Marcus Priteca, F.A.I.A., since his passing in 1971, was the original architect of the starting of the Patanges. The stage area in 1976, was presented with a curtain line, the existing upstage wall is 26 ½ feet, with the playing area on stage is 34 feet.</p><br>
<p>The auditorium is elliptical, the proscenium arch and stage located on the south wall. The small orchestra pit can be entered through the greenroom below the stage. Dressing rooms flank the greenroom at that level. Because of the very steep grade on Ninth Street, large spaces below the auditorium level were available for rehearsals and storage. At the lowest level on Commerce Street, the heating and electrical systems were installed.</p><br>
<p>The GridironIn 1971 the gridiron was documented as an open steel flooring over the stage area, the gridiron was installed in order to support scenery and the rigging equipment necessary to “fly” or suspend this scenery within the stage area, to make access to rigging equipment easy, and safe. Iron weight was used to help support lighting border lights. The gridiron was framed to accommodate for hemp rigging. There were proposed plans to expand the gridiron completely covering the performing stage area.</p><br>
<p>The Pantages TheatreAcoustics. Notably, in their orchestra pit configuration, the pit is under the soffit of the stage, allowing sound to flow from the aperture in between the pit rail and the edge of the forestage.</p><br>
<p>Additions to the theaterRoxy Theatre remodel; in 1955 tile ceilings were added for acoustics, terrazzo marble was added to the entrance, and glass panel doors and walls were updated. Custom-built entrance doors with polished aluminum frames with the doors being solid glass panels were included in the remodel for the grand opening of The Roxy.</p><br>
<p>Decorative features of the auditorium rely upon the lavish use of. The proscenium arch is covered with classical motifs executed in plaster by European craftsmen. At the center is an elaborate floral cartouche. Projecting from the cartouche is a torch. Fluted, engaged columns flank the proscenium. The auditorium&#39;s entablature has a dentil led cornice with shell finials. Above the entablature is the coved ceiling with gutter lighting. At the center of the ceiling is an art glass sunburst, instead of a traditional crystal chandelier. Boxes are located on either side in the ante-proscenium area. Each is an arch-shaped niche ornamented on its interior by rosettes and a large shell motif. The box entrance is enframed by a complex arrangement of pilasters, entablature, and broken pediment.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In 1989 Tacoma’s Gross Bros. department store opened at its new location on 9th and Broadway, and was considered the finest department store in the Pacific Northwest. The business was bought in 1897 by businessman William Jones. C. 1916, an agreement was reached (of which documentation has been lost) between Jones and theatre mogul Alexander Pantages, leading to the demolition of the department store in 1916 and the construction of the Tacoma Pantages Theatre-Jones Building.</p><br>
<p>Alexander Pantages owned the theatre until RKO Pictures purchased the Tacoma location as well as six other locations following bad publicity surrounding Pantage’s rape trial in 1929. After the RKO purchase, the theatre was later renamed the “RKO Orpheum” in 1930 to avoid association with Alexander Pantages. The RKO Orpheum continued vaudeville acts while adopting the showing of “talkies” or sound film, and musical orchestras. In 1932, the Orpheum failed to profit and Tacoma was in need of a film theater. The Orpheum was bought by John Hamrick and Ned Edris and renamed the “Roxy”. The Roxy lived as a film house with the occasional performance under the management of Will J. Conner, who renovated the venue to better suit motion pictures. Hamrick was bought out by Edris’ brother William after Ned’s death, and operated under the Edris Company Theater Division. Conner assumed majority ownership in 1959, and his Conner Corporation maintained the theatre until 1974.</p><br>
<p>In 1974, the property was foreclosed upon, and in 1974 the City of Tacoma purchased the Roxy due to the need of a performing arts center and in 1975 registered the building as a historic site. The “Pantages” moniker was reinstated upon its grand reopening in 1983.</p><br>
<p>Management changed in 2021 after a dispute between Tacoma City Venues & Events and management nonprofit Tacoma Arts Live. The latter party declined to renew their contract and through a bidding process, multinational corporation ASM Global was chosen as the new management company. ASM signed a $2.4 million 11-year contract with the City of Tacoma.</p><br>
<p>As of 2024, the Pantages theater is still an active performing arts center for the City of Tacoma.</p><br>
<h2>Entertainment</h2><br>
<p>The entertainment style of vaudeville acts at The Pantages were seen as an array of comedic styles such as tap dancing, comedy shows, ventriloquists, vocalists, and trick cyclists. The vaudeville acts thrived under Pantages ownership until 1930. Specific examples can be seen through orchestra, musical comedy, circus acts, and the occasional random appearance (Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1920). In 1929 the Pantages Theatre was bought by RKO Pictures (Radio Keith Operations) and was renamed the RKO Orpheum in 1930. Between 1932-1975, the Roxy focused on showing films and the occasional performance. The Roxy was known for incorporating 3D aspects into their film showings. In the 1970s, the City of Tacoma was bought the theatre and declared it an historic site. The Roxy changed ownership and was reopened as The Pantages in 1979 and chartered as a traditional performance center. From 1979 to today The Pantages Theatre has put on performances in ballet, comedy, Broadway musicals, celebrity shows, orchestras, live musical concerts, and vaudeville revival.</p><br>
<p>Some performances shown at the Pantages Theatre (1918-1928) could be seen through the Ingleside Orchestra (10/24/1923), Singer Monte Carter (1918), and Vice Presidential nominee Franklin D. Roosevelt (1920). Silent films like Fast Life (1929) could be seen at the RKO Orpheum (1929- 1932). Film movies at The Roxy (1932-1975) such as House on a Haunted Hill (1959) and Tugboat Annie Sails Again (1940) were shown frequently. When the Pantages Theatre reopened in 1975 famous acts and people such as Della Reese (1959), Gregory Peck (1995), Debbie Reynolds (1998), Queen Latifa (2007), Chicago Musical (2013), Jeff Bridges (2014), and Cabaret Shows (2017) perform to this day.</p><br>

<p>The Old Kennebunk High School, also known as the Park Street School, is an historic former school building at 14 Park Street in Kennebunk, Maine. Built in 1922–23 to a design by Hutchins & French of Boston, Massachusetts, it is historically significant for its role the city&#39;s education, and architecturally as a fine example of a "modern" high school building of the period with Colonial Revival styling. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2011.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Old Kennebunk High School is located on the southeast side of Park Street, roughly opposite its junction with Dane Street, on the south side of the village center of Kennebunk. It is a two-story brick building, with limestone trim. The main facade, facing the street, is seven bays wide, the outer two blind (windowless) facades of slightly projecting end wings. These end wings have a round-arch recess, filled with bricks at their centers on the first level, with a round limestone panel above on the second level. The central five bays are demarcated by pilasters, and have large sash windows on the second level. The outermost bays have small 2-over-2 windows at their center, and the next inner ones have sash windows with panels below. The original main entrance stands in the center bay, with a transom window and console hood above. Modern additions dating to 1954 and 1962 extend the original building to the rear.</p><br>
<p>The school was built in 1921–22, serving as the town&#39;s third high school, replacing a former private academy building (built 1833, purchased by the town in 1850), and an Italianate combined grammar and high school built after that building was destroyed by fire in 1870. This school was built to adhere to new state standards for schools, and to attract tuition-paying students from surrounding communities. The school design, by Hutchins and French of Boston, was awarded after a design competition. The school served the town has a high school until 1939, when a new high school was opened to address overcrowding. This school was then renamed the Park Street School, and housed elementary grades until its closure in 2006.</p><br>
<p>The Libby-MacArthur House is a historic house at 294 Sokokis Avenue  in the center of Limington, Maine. Believed to have been built about 1794, it is the only surviving house of one of the town&#39;s earliest permanent residents, and is a rare example in the state of a Federal period house with a gambrel roof. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Libby-MacArthur House is located on the north side of Sokokis Avenue, just west of the junction with Cape Road (Maine State Route 117) that defines the center of Limington. It is a -story wood-frame structure, five bays wide, with a gambrel roof, central chimney, and narrow clapboard siding. The main facade, facing south, is symmetrically arranged, with its center entrance set in a Greek Revival vestibule with gable roof. The Federal period entrance surround has been retained inside the vestibule, with sidelight and transom windows. A long two-story ell extends northward from the rear of the house, connecting the house to a c. 1872 barn. The ell continues the Federal period styling found inside the main block, suggesting it was an early addition.</p><br>
<p>The town of Limington was first settled in the 1770s. The 100 acre parcel at the northwest corner of what is now the towns central intersection was sold by Samuel Small to his daughter Martha and her husband, Philemon Libby, in 1777. Local historians place this houses construction by the Libbys around 1794; they probably lived in a cruder log structure prior to its construction. The house is rare for its gambrel roof, a form typically seen on coastal houses of the Georgian period which had fallen out of fashion by the time this house was built. Their son Abner sold the property in 1836 to Arthur MacArthur, who practiced law in a small law office he built on the property. The house remained in the hands of MacArthur descendants into the 20th century.</p><br>
<p>Cannon Dial Elm Club, also known as Cannon Club, is one of the historic Eating Clubs at Princeton University. Founded in 1895, it completed its current clubhouse in 1910. The club closed in the early 1970s and later merged with Dial Lodge and Elm Club to form Dial, Elm, Cannon , which closed its doors in 1998. In 2011 DEC reopened, now bearing the name Cannon Dial Elm Club, using its historic clubhouse, which had served as the home for the Office of Population Research during the club&#39;s hiatus.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<h3>Founding</h3><br>
<p>The Eating Clubs play a central role in the history and life of Princeton University, serving as the primary place of dining and social life for more than 70% of upperclassmen. Cannon Club was founded in 1895 and housed in a small house on William Street that had been home to Tiger Inn for the previous two years. From 1896 to 1899 it was located in the "Incubator" a small house, at that time on Olden Street, that served as an early home to many of the Eating Clubs as they established themselves and sought to build clubhouses. In 1899, Cannon Club purchased the Osborn House that stood on the south side of Prospect Avenue, between the McCosh and West residences. That home fell into disrepair by 1908 and Edgar Viguers Seeler, a prominent Philadelphia architect, was commissioned to build a new clubhouse. That Collegiate Gothic clubhouse, completed in 1910, was the first of the clubs to make use of local stone. While the facade has been described as plain in comparison with other clubs, the rear elevation and interiors have been praised, with the two-story living room considered one of the finest interior spaces found on Prospect. The eponymous cannon sits in front of the clubhouse, pointed at Prospect Avenue. President-elect Woodrow Wilson, on a last stroll before departing for Washington, commented to reporters: "Hardly a chummy entrance that!"</p><br>
<h3>Closure</h3><br>
<p>The early 1970s saw a fall in membership, ultimately precipitating the closure of the clubhouse. The property came into the possession of the university, which spent 3/4 of a million dollars on renovations and deferred maintenance to turn the clubhouse into an academic building, Notestein Hall, which housed the Office of Population Research for over 30 years.</p><br>
<h3>Reopening</h3><br>
<p>Despite the closure of the club, Cannon Club continued as a graduate board determined to continue the club&#39;s traditions and see it one day reopened. In 1989, Cannon merged with the financially imperiled Dial Lodge, and the combined entity was joined by Elm Club the following year. The stated goal of the new Dial Elm Cannon Club (DEC) was to exchange the Dial and Elm clubhouses for the old Cannon Club. In 1997, an agreement was reached to exchange Dial and Elm for the Cannon clubhouse and $2 million. The club was unable to reopen Cannon at that time but retained the option to purchase the building. This led to the second demise of the club with periodic claims that Cannon would reopen, a feat accomplished in 2011. Today, the club is again thriving and healthy.</p><br>

<p>The Dondy Building was a historic commercial building at 154 South 3rd Street in Batesville, Arkansas. It is a two-story masonry structure, built out of rusticated sandstone in a typical regional style. A portion of the second story was faced in red brick, providing contrast to the lighter sandstone trim elements at the corners and window surrounds. The windows had quoined sides and smooth stone lintels, and there was a band of smooth stone just below the flat roof. The building was designed by Theodore Sanders and built in 1918.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982. It was demolished sometime before January 2019.</p><br>

The deck is supported by brick piers with a centrally located concrete stoop and steps with wrought iron railings. The porch has a flat roof supported by six square, beveledged wood columns. Carved wooden, scrolled knee braces support a roof overhang. Spaces between the porch&#39;s supporting piers below are closed with wood lattice work.</p><br>
<p>The main entrance is centrally located in a section of the front wall which extends about two feet out from the main wall. This extension rises to firm the gable above the second floor, mentioned earlier. The entrance consists of solid, wood paneled, double doors with limestone threshold and glazed transom capped by an arched, limestone label lintel.</p><br>
<p>The windows have limestone sills and limestone label lintels. Windows, except those in the bays and basement, have wood storm windows with mullion set on limestone sill with top radius set in brick header, arched lintel.</p><br>

A cornice with brackets and flat roof completes the bay. Paired windows stand to the north of the bay. The second story has side by side windows over the bay and a single window above the paired windows. West elevation of the main section is a duplication of the east except there is but one window on the first floor nearer the rear. There is a wide wood frieze with center and top mouldings on the main section and wood soffit on the roof overhang with moulded wood eaves. There is one brick chimney which is located at the center of the exterior north wall of the main section. Its flue is built into this wall and originates in the basement.</p><br>
<h2>Interior</h2><br>
<p>The front door opens into a small vestibule with doors set in angled walls. These rooms have a north–south partition with a large, arched doorway with three doors. Two are hinged together allowing opening the doorway to its full width. Behind the parlors are a library/den on the west side and a dining room on the east side. On the left side of the opening is the foot of a stairway, open on the dining room side, which ascends to a second floor landing.</p><br>
<p>The stairs are carved wood with rectangular newel post. It has a turned balustrade, and moulded, wood rail. The north side of the dining room has three doorways with cafe doors to the kitchen on the west. The center door is to a bathroom and the door on the east side accesses the sun porch.

A hallway north of the bathroom leads to an exterior door to the sun porch on the east, and at that point another doorway in the north partition leads to a laundry room. The laundry gives access to a stairway leading to a large, floored attic through a trapdoor the length of the stairwell. In the northwest corner of the kitchen there are three stairs down to a landing which abuts exterior, double doors to the garden/patio. The sewing/all-purpose room is built on grade with a nine-foot false beam ceiling, has an exterior entrance on the west and a door to the garage in center of the exterior, north wall.</p><br>
<h2>Alterations</h2><br>
<p>The building originally had three chimneys (two removed). Rain gutters were built in the roof eaves with external downspouts connected to a cistern under the kitchen wing. There was an entrance to a carriage storage room on the north end, west side of the wing (present grade entrance to wing.) Roofs were wood shake shingles.</p><br>
<p>In the interior, the stairway to the second floor was closed with a door at its foot and an adjoining door to the east between west parlor and dining room.</p><br>
<p>The Pinhook Methodist Church and Cemetery are located in New Durham Township, LaPorte County, Indiana at Wozniak Road with State Road 2. Known as the village of Pinhook, formerly New Durham.

The building sits on an orange/red brick foundation rising about 2 ft above grade. The roof has wood shingles. A brick chimney extends from the ridge of the roof near the front of the main building. The building siding and trim is painted white with dark green windows, shutters and front door.</p><br>
<p>The front (south) facade is symmetrically with the vestibule projecting from the main building. Above the front door is a wood sign with the name of the church and year of construction. The corner boards on the main building, in keeping with the Greek-Revival style however, terminate at the horizontal entablature wrapping around from the east and west facades, with decorative trim making the appearance of a pilaster cap. The frieze board of the gable then extends up the face of the gable from this horizontal detail. A cove trim piece is located at the juncture of the frieze board and wood soffit of the eave.</p><br>
<h2>Pinhook Cemetery</h2><br>
<p>The Pinhook Cemetery, established in 1850, is divided into four sections with a single gravel road entering off of State Road 2 near the intersection of Wozniak Road and exiting onto Wozniak Road on its east boundary. It is bordered by State Road 2 on the south, Wozniak Road on the east, and agricultural tilled lands on the north and west. The church is located in its southwest corner. State Road 2 forms a gentle curve northward from the west edge of the cemetery to Wozniak Road.

<p>The Chaloner House is a historic house at 3 Pleasant Street in Lubec, Maine. It was built in stages ending around 1818, and is one of Lubec&#39;s relatively few Federal period buildings. It is also distinctive as an early example of a lodging house, a type of housing that is rare in eastern Maine. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2007.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Chaloner House is set on the west side of the northernmost block of Pleasant Street, near the northeastern tip of the Lubec peninsula. It is a -story wood-frame structure, eight bays wide, set on a sloping lot that provides a full basement level for the northernmost three bays. It has a saltbox profile, with its rear roofline sloping down to the first floor. The main facade is divided into two sections, the left five bays and the right three, based on its construction history. The left five bays have the entrance at their center, flanked by sidelight windows and pilasters, and topped by an entablature and cornice. The interior rooms at the front of house have retained a significant amount of Federal period styling, including woodwork and fireplaces, although many of latter have been blocked or had inserts placed in them.</p><br>
<p>When the property was purchased in 1817 by William Chaloner, there was almost certainly already a house standing on it; this was either a three-bay or five-bay structure, that may or may not have had the saltbox addition to the rear. Chaloner had eleven children by two wives between 1810 and 1835, and was likely responsible for enlarging the house he purchased to its present size. He also apparently took on lodgers: census figures for both 1820 and 1830 show a large number of males between 16 and 45 living in his house. Chaloner lost the house to a debt-related auction in 1834, and it has since served as a single- or multi-family residence since.</p><br>
<p>The Limerick Upper Village Historic District encompasses the historic village center of Limerick, Maine. The 11 acre district extends along Main Street roughly from the southern junction of Maine State Routes 11 and 5 to the northern junction of Routes 5 and 160, and was developed between the turn of the 19th century and the early 20th century. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The town of Limerick was first settled in the 1770s, and was incorporated in 1787. It was named for the Irish city of Limerick, the place of origin of the father of James Sullivan, a prominent lawyer of southern Maine and one of the towns founders. What is now Main Street (and more generally SR 5) had its origin as a Native American footpath running from the coast to the inland community of Pequawket, now Fryeburg, Maine. Set on a rise at the southern end of the district is the 1852 Baptist church, adjacent to which are the towns oldest cemeteries. The village is arrayed along Main Street between this area and the 1822 Freewill Baptist Church, set at the triangular junction of Routes 5 and 160.</p><br>
<p>The oldest building in the district is the c. 1790 Rev. Eastman House, a Federal period building that was restyled in the 1870s with Italianate trim. The c. 1800 Kilpatrick House has retained its Federal appearance. Italianate buildings predominate in the district, including the brick town hall (1860), the academy (1881), and the library (1881). The Jeremiah Mason House (1859) is a particularly fine example of Italianate residential architecture executed in brick. There is only one Queen Anne period building in the district: the Limerick National Bank building (1881).</p><br>
<p>The Commercial Hotel is a historic hotel building facing the courthouse square of Mountain View, Arkansas. It is a two-story wood-frame structure, rectangular in plan, with a hip roof that has exposed rafter ends, and weatherboard siding. A porch wraps around its principal facades, supported by box columns. Built in 1925, it is a fine local example of commercial Craftsman architecture, and one of two surviving hotel buildings from the 1920s in the community.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.</p><br>
<p>The Henry Copeland House is a historic house on Arkansas Highway 14 in Pleasant Grove, a small community in southeastern Stone County, Arkansas. It is a single-story wood-frame structure, built in a traditional dogtrot form with two pens and a breezeway. Ells extend the house to the rear and off the northern pen. A hip-roof porch extends across the front, supported by turned posts. Built about 1895, the house is a fine local example of period vernacular architecture combining traditional forms with the then-fashionable Victorian styles.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.</p><br>
<p>The Wesley Copeland House is a historic house in rural western Stone County, Arkansas. Located on the north side of a rural road south of Timbo, it is single-story dogtrot log house, finished in weatherboard and topped by a gable roof that overhangs the front porch. The porch is supported by chamfered square posts, and there is a decorative sawtooth element at its cornice. There are two chimneys, one a hewn stone structure at the western end, and a cut stone structure at the eastern end. Built c. 1858, it is a rare antebellum house in the county, and a well-preserved example of traditional architecture.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.</p><br>
<p>All Souls Church, also known as All Souls Unitarian Universalist Church of Braintree, is a church on the National Register of Historic Places, it is located at 196 Elm Street in Braintree, Massachusetts. The building is a large fieldstone structure, in a cruciform plan with a square tower that has a crenellated top. The gable ends are decorated with bargeboard, and the entrance is set under a gabled entry porch below a large window with Gothic tracery. The church was designed by Boston architect Edwin J. Lewis Jr. and built in 1905 for a congregation organized in 1900; it is Braintrees first stone church building. Land for the building was donated by George O. Wales, a leading force in uniting Braintrees Unitarian and Universalist congregations.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2015.</p><br>
<p>The Frederick Squires House is a historic house located at 1003 West Church Street in Champaign, Illinois. Owner and architect Frederick Squires created the Craftsman style house in 1927. Squires combined two similar 1870s frame houses, one of which was moved from another site in Champaign, to build his house. In addition to using existing houses to form a new one, Squires used recycled wood, brick, and concrete to complete his new home. The house&#39;s interior design incorporates principles of Craftsman design such as an open floor plan, use of natural materials throughout, and an entrance hall that functions as a room in its own right.</p><br>
<p>Born in 1879 in Plainfield, New Jersey, Frederick Squires graduated from Williams College with a BA in Architecture and then attended the School of Mines of Columbia University, the earliest mining and metallurgy school in the United States, established in 1864. Squires then worked as an architect until 1914. He was active in designing office buildings in New York City as well as in publishing designs in outlets such as Architectural Record, Concrete-Cement Age, and House and Garden. He published a book entitled The Hollow Tile House (1913) on a new construction technique that he had developed. One year later, he published the quirky Architectonics: The Tales of Tom Thumtack, Architect, illustrated by Rockwell Kent. From 1914 on, Squires worked with his brother in the oil business, but he maintained his interest in architecture, as demonstrated by the unique design of his Craftsman style home.</p><br>
<p>The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on November 22, 2011.</p><br>
<p>The Bayside Historic District encompasses the historic core of a former religious summer camp meeting community in Northport, Maine, USA. It includes the original grounds of the Northport Wesleyan Grove Camp Meeting, established in 1848, with most of surviving architecture built between about 1870 and 1920. It is the largest surviving such area in the state, and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1996. It is now the heart of the Bayside village, a secular seaside summer resort community.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Northport Camp Meeting has its origins in the 1848 purchase of land on the shore of Penobscot Bay, which was transferred to a formal organization in 1850, made up of 23 Methodist churches in Knox and Waldo Counties. The early years of the camp meeting are poorly documented; it is during this time that some of the features of the grounds, including Auditorium Park, were laid out. Accommodations in those years was in boarding houses and tents, none of which have survived. In 1873, the organization was formally chartered by the state, and it acquired more land, with an eye toward developing more permanent infrastructure, including cottages for attendees. By 1878, more than 100 cottages had been built on the association&#39;s grounds, a road network laid out, and sewerage services provided. The camp meeting declined in popularity in the 1920s and 1930s and was dissolved in 1937.</p><br>
<p>The district is centered on the waterfront of Penobscot Bay and extends inland as far as George Street. It is bounded at the northwest by Clinton Street and North Avenue, and on the southeast by Sea Street. Most of the buildings in the district are small single story or 1-1/2 story wood frame cottages, many with vernacular Gothic Revival styling. Typical features include bargeboard on the gables, board-and-batten siding, and decorative sawn details on porches and other trim elements. An 1885 store and bakery stand on Clinton Avenue, and the Bayside Inn on Bay Street (c. 1900-20) is the only surviving hotel building from the period. Auditorium Park, the traditional centerpiece of the camp meeting community, is where its auditorium stood until it was demolished in 1936, and has been retained as a public park, along with several other smaller parks.</p><br>
<p>Vermilyea Inn Historic District is a national historic district located near Fort Wayne in Aboite Township, Allen County, Indiana. The district encompasses one contributing building, the Jesse Vermilyea House, and three contributing structures. The house was built in 1839, and is a two-story, three-bay, Federal style brick dwelling. It has an original two-story, four-bay, gable roofed wing, a -story wood and brick garage addition built about 1945, and a -story brick addition built about 2000. The other contributing resources are the visible earthworks of the Wabash and Erie Canal and the timber platform of the canal aqueduct. Its builder, Jesse Vermilyea, opened his house as an inn and tavern and operated as such through the 19th century.</p><br>
<p>The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2005.</p><br>
