The town authorized a library in 1896, and it soon amassed a collection of 1,300 books, which were housed in the town halls courtroom. With the need for a permanent home evident, Lucius V. Walkley, owner of the local Pultz & Walkley Company, offered a challenge grant of $5,000, to be granted if other donors could raise the same amount. This goal was soon met, and the south-facing element of the historic building was completed in 1902 to a design by George Wilson Potter Sr. of New York City. Emma Bradley Yeomans Newell, another entrepreneur, left a bequest upon her death in 1917 for an addition to the library, which was constructed in 1930.</p><br>

<p>Mr. Shaw said, in 1937: “When I made the suggestion to maintain a museum in Houlton, it received such a warm response that a public meeting was called at the court house where a corporation was formed to be known as the ‘Aroostook Historical and Art Museum’. After many trails and disappoints, on May 1, 1938, I rented a room in the Nickerson Block over Fishman&#39;s Store”.</p><br>
<p>Mr. and Mrs. S. L. White donated the stately colonial home, built by Mrs. Marion (Woodbury) MacIntyre after the great fire in 1902, in which to house the historical collections. The building is commonly known as the Donworth House, Mrs. MacIntyres daughter, Mrs. Marion L. Donworth, having lived there several years after her mothers death.</p><br>
<p>Articles of historic interest were collected and by 1948 the museum had listed over 1200 articles. Arthur Brown became interested in the work and acted as curator until his health made it necessary for him to resign. Mrs. Edith Donald was elected to fill Mr. Brown&#39;s place. Mrs. Elizabeth Lakin, daughter of the Hon. R. W. Shaw, also has served as president of the organization. George W. Shaw, a son of R. W. Shaw, has contributed most generously to the upkeep of the building.</p><br>
<p>Mr. and Mrs. White, in purchasing and donating this fine old colonial home to the Town for use of the Museum, rendered a real service to the Community.</p><br>

It is a large two-story structure, fashioned out of rusticated concrete blocks. It has vernacular Colonial Revival details, including egg-and-dart moldings above the window lintels, concrete quoining, Tuscan columns supporting the porch, and ornate Palladian windows. it was built in c. 1910 by Columbus Hatchett using locally fabricated concrete blocks, and is one of the community&#39;s finest examples of Colonial Revival architecture.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1993.</p><br>
<p>The Lord Mansion is a historic house at 20 Summer Street  in Kennebunk, Maine. The multi-part house includes a 1760 Georgian house as an ell to its main element, an 1801 Federal period structure. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973 for its architectural significance; it is also a contributing element to the Kennebunk Historic District.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Lord Mansion is located on the north side of Summer Street, opposite its junction with Park Street. The house consists of multiple sections, roughly oriented from west to east, set back from the road on landscaped grounds above a retaining wall. The main house is a roughly square two-story wood-frame structure, with a hip roof, and flushboard on the main (west-facing) facade and clapboards elsewhere. The front facade is adorned with pilasters at the corners and on both sides of the entrance, where they rise all the way to the roof line. The entrance is framed by sidelight windows, with a fanlight window above. A three-part window is on the second level above the entrance, and there is a gabled dormer-like section on the roofline, which has a decorative carved fan. The roof is encircled by a low balustrade. Attached to the rear (east) of this block is a -story five-bay hip-roof block that is the oldest part of the house.</p><br>
<p>The first portion of the house was built about 1760 by Jonathan Banks. He sold the house in 1789 to Jonas Clark, a local judge, who in 1801 built what is now the main portion of the house. The house was purchased in 1822 by William Lord, a shipbuilder, and has remained in his family. The house is locally distinctive for its combination of well-preserved colonial and Federal period elements.</p><br>
<p>The H. J. Doughtery House is a historic house on the west side of Arkansas Highway 14 in Marcella, Arkansas. Set relatively close to the road, it is a single-story wood frame dogtrot house, with a gable roof and a shed-roofed front porch extending across the east-facing front facade. It is clad in weatherboard and rests on stone piers. A fieldstone chimney rises at the northern end. Built about 1905, this house shows the evolution of the dogtrot, by the regular enclosure of its central breezeway, to something more closely resembling a center-hall plan house.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.</p><br>
<p>The Farmers and Merchants Bank is a historic commercial building on Main Street, facing the courthouse square, in Mountain View, Arkansas, United States. It is a two-story stone structure, with a flat roof obscured by a parapet. Built out of rusticated stone, it has vernacular Romanesque styling in its rounded window and door openings on the first floor, and its crenellations at the top of the parapet. It was built in 1910, during the city&#39;s first major period of stone construction, by Bill Laroe, who also built the Stone County Courthouse.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.</p><br>
<p>The Zachariah Ford House is a historic house in rural eastern Stone County, Arkansas. It is located northeast of Pleasant Grove, off County Road 46, on the bluffs overlooking the flood plain of the White River. It is a single-story dogtrot log structure, finished with weatherboard siding and a gable roof that extends over its front porch. It rests on stone piers, and is oriented on a north–south axis. The older of the building&#39;s two pens was built about 1856 by Zachariah Ford, and the second pen, breezeway, and roof were built by his son George. The building provides an excellent window into the early evolution of this housing form.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.</p><br>
<p>The Charlotte Pound is a historic animal pound on Charlotte Road in Charlotte, Maine. Built in 1872 out of logs on a stone foundation, it is the only documented wooden pound in the state. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2005.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Charlotte Pound is located on the north side of Charlotte Road, about 0.25 mi east of its junction with Maine State Route 214. It is an octagonal structure, each side measuring about 18 ft. It has a cobbled stone foundation, and is constructed out of stacked cedar logs, the ends at each joint overhanging by about 1 ft, with half-round notches as joinery. Metal rods have been driven through each joint. Seven of the sides are seven logs in height, while the side facing south-southeast has eight. That side also has the entrance to the structure, in which the center six logs have been fastened via tenons to vertical posts, and a wooden gate mounted in the opening. The upper and lower logs of this side run over and under the gate.</p><br>
<p>The town of Charlotte was incorporated in 1825, but the early settlers of the area had in 1822 already funded maintenance of a pound on one farmer&#39;s property. A formal wooden structure was authorized in 1826, and this structure (not at the site of either of the two previous structures) was authorized in 1872. The office of pound keeper was maintained by the town into the 1920s, after which the structure was abandoned. In 1988 interest in the now-deteriorated structure was revived, and it underwent a restoration in which about 40% of its logs were replaced. It is the only known wooden pound in the state; the other that are documented are all stone construction.</p><br>
<p>The Captain Nathaniel Lord Mansion is a historic house at 6 Pleasant Street in the village center of Kennebunkport, Maine. Built in 1812 by a wealthy shipowner, it is a fine example of Federal period architecture, which remained in the same family until 1972. It is now a bed and breakfast called The Captain Lord Mansion, Inn & Spa. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Lord Mansion is set at the northeast corner of Pleasant and Green Streets, both residential streets in the town&#39;s main village. It is a stately three-story wood-frame structure, rising to a flat roof topped by a cupola. Its main facade is five bays wide, with a center entrance flanked by sidelight windows and sheltered by a hip-roof portico. Windows are six-over-six sash on the first two floors, except for a central three-part window above the entrance, and smaller three-over-three windows on the third level. Oriel and oval windows are found above the secondary entrance on the right side facade. The interior of the house has been extensively restored, retaining most of its Federal period woodwork, and also some early wallpaper. Of particular note is the freestanding elliptical staircase. A three-story addition was added to the rear of the main block in 1859.</p><br>
<p>The town of Kennebunkport was an important shipping and shipbuilding center in the early 19th century, and those industries were virtually shutdown by a British blockade during the War of 1812. Nathaniel Lord, a local shipbuilder, used his workers to build this house and its associated barn in that year. The house was passed from one generation to the next through a continuous female line, resulting in the house having many different names over the years. It was sold by the last Lord descendant to own it in 1972, and has since been converted into a bed and breakfast inn.</p><br>
<p>The Henley Hotel is a historic hotel building at 112 United States Highway 65 North in downtown St. Joe, Arkansas. It is a two-story wood-frame structure, with a gable roof and novelty siding. It has a wraparound porch supported by Doric columns, and the building corners are adorned with pilasters. It is the largest building in the small community, built c. 1913 to provide service to travelers on the railroad, which was built to the community in 1903. It served as a hotel until closing in the 1930s due to the Great Depression, and remained a private home of the Henleys until the 1970s.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2011.</p><br>
<p>The Dr. Cleveland Hollabaugh House is a historic house on Oak Street in Leslie, Arkansas. It is a -story wood-frame structure, with a hip roof and weatherboard siding. It is an architecturally eclectic mix of Folk Victorian and Craftsman elements, with gingerbread decoration typical of the former applied to a porch with a basically Craftsman form. The house was built about 1910 for a doctor who primarily served railroad workers.</p><br>
<p>The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1993.</p><br>
<p>The Belfast Commercial Historic District encompasses two blocks of the central business district of Belfast, Maine. This area includes the best-preserved and most architecturally interesting commercial buildings of the city&#39;s mid-to-late 19th century development, when it was the leading port on Penobscot Bay. It extends along Main Street from the major intersection and Church Street north to Washington Street. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980,</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The city of Belfast is located at the head of Belfast Bay on the west side of Penobscot Bay, where the Passagassawakeag River empties into the bay. Incorporated as a city in 1853, it was by then a major shipbuilding and shipping center. In the second half of the 19th century it was served by steamship service to other ports, and was connected by railroad to Boston and Portland. The city has also been the county seat of Waldo County since its founding in 1827.</p><br>
<p>The city&#39;s downtown is organized as a series of roads paralleling the southern bank of the river, which is oriented roughly northwest to southeast. Main Street initial runs perpendicular to those roads, running southwest to a five-road interchange at Church and Beaver Streets, where it bends west. The two blocks north of this latter intersection are contained within the historic district, which includes 47 buildings on those two blocks and immediately adjacent side streets. Most of these buildings were built after fires that affected the entire downtown area in 1865 and 1873, although some older buildings have survived. Notable early buildings include the Waldo County Courthouse (1853) and City Block (1850), both designed by Bangor architect Benjamin S. Deane, and the 1855 Customhouse and Post Office, designed by Ammi B. Young. Notable later buildings include the Masonic Temple, which occupies a prominent position on the Church Street intersection, and the Belfast National Bank, both built in the late 1870s to designs by George M. Harding of Portland.</p><br>
<p>Bradford House II  is a prehistoric rockshelter, 24 km southwest of Denver. It is situated on land owned by the Ken-Caryl Ranch Master Association. It was excavated in the summer and fall of 1973 by the Denver Chapter of the Colorado Archaeological Society. The excavations found several cultural features and recovered thousands of chipped stone artifacts, dozens of ground stone artifacts, a few ceramic sherds, bone tools, and faunal remains. The site was used by prehistoric groups during the Middle and Late Archaic periods, as well as the Early Woodland, and Middle Woodland periods. This is a span of 4,500 years.</p><br>
<p>Bradford House II is located in the Ken-Caryl Valley. The Front Range foothills to the west and the Lyons and Dakota hogbacks to the east frame the valley. An abundance of archaeological sites, attests to the valley&#39;s attraction for the earliest inhabitants of the area. They frequented the area for its abundant resources, including shelter under the many bedrock monoliths scattered across the valley, lithic materials for chipped stone tools, and edible plants and animals.</p><br>
<p>West of the valley, the arkosic sandstones of the Pennsylvanian Fountain formation lie unconformably upon uplifted Precambrian metamorphic rocks of the Front Range (Rathbun 1997:21). Although mostly covered by recent to pre-Wisconsin alluvium, the Fountain formation forms southwest facing escarpments, or monoliths, with undercut shelters or caves (Rathbun 1997:21), many of which were inhabited by prehistoric peoples. The elevation of the site is approximately 1878 m (6160 ft.) above mean sea level. Elevations surrounding the site range from about 1828 m (6000 ft.) in the Dutch Creek water gap to 1992 m (6536 ft.) on the highest point of the Dakota hogback ridge.</p><br>
<p>The valley has a sunny, mild, and semiarid climate that has neither the extreme cold of the higher elevations to the west nor the hot summer afternoons of the eastern plains (Tate 1997:15). A south-facing rock shelter like Bradford House II absorbs a great deal of solar radiation, further mitigating the winter cold. Precipitation is moderate, averaging 15 to 18 inches, and winter snows melt quickly (Tate 1997:17) with frequent down slope (chinook) winds.</p><br>
<p>The valley consists of various grasses and forbs. The surrounding hogbacks and foothills support a pine-Douglas fir vegetation community. The recovery of floral materials from Bradford House II and other archaeological sites in the valley (Johnson 1997:Table Gl) indicates that local plants such as sunflower, wild plum, acorn, and chokecherry were gathered and used by prehistoric peoples. Many animals, including elk, mule deer, and occasional Big Horn sheep, as well as a variety of carnivores, rabbits, rodents, birds, amphibians, reptiles, and fish are found in the hogbacks and foothills. Unworked animal, mostly mammal, bone was found in abundance in the Archaic and Early Ceramic levels (Johnson and Lyons 1997a:49, Table 6). Mule deer dominates the assemblage, followed by elk, bison, and rabbit, with little change in dietary preferences from the earlier to later time periods. Several bone tools (awls, beads, reamers, bone scrapers, and bone drills) and antler flakers were recovered from all cultural levels in the site (Johnson and Lyons 1997a).</p><br>

<p>The Willard Bunnell House is a historic house museum in Homer, Minnesota, United States. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973 for having state-level significance in the themes of architecture, commerce, and exploration/settlement. It was nominated for being Minnesota&#39;s first permanent house south of Saint Paul, as well as for its Gothic Revival architecture and association with brothers Willard  and Lafayette Bunnell , who helped develop the area during its frontier days. It is now managed by the Winona County Historical Society.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The Willard Bunnell House is located 3 mi east of Winona, Minnesota, overlooking USA Route 61 and the Mississippi River. It is a simple board-and-batten structure of unpainted eastern white pine. It is in the Carpenter Gothic style, with triangle-peaked windows and shutters, and carved bargeboards. However the house also has unusual features more typical of architecture in the Ohio and Lower Mississippi River Valleys, such as a two-story veranda and a flat-roofed rear wing.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Willard Bunnell was born in 1814 and rose from cabin boy to captain in the Great Lakes steamboat trade. He married Matilda Desnoyer in 1837 in Detroit, and became involved in efforts to open up the American frontier. He helped survey a military road from Detroit to Mackinaw, then began trading with the Ojibwe people around the Escanaba River.</p><br>
<p>In 1841 Willard and Matilda Bunnell, along with his younger brother Lafayette, traveled to the Upper Mississippi River, ultimately settling in Trempealeau, Wisconsin. From 1845 to 1846 Lafayette Bunnell was involved in logging and timber rafting on the Chippewa River, a short-lived effort that nevertheless presaged what would become the founding industry of the region. The brothers also helped build the first sawmill on the Eau Claire River, which would give rise to the city of Eau Claire, Wisconsin.</p><br>
<p>In the late 1840s Lafayette returned east and entered military service, while Willard remained on the Upper Mississippi. The land across the river was still the territory of the Dakota people and was closed to Euro-American settlement, but Willard anticipated a change and gained permission from Chief Wabasha III to build a log cabin on the west bank of the Mississippi.</p><br>
<p>In 1852, following the Treaty of Traverse des Sioux, much of Minnesota Territory opened to white settlement. Over the next few years Willard Bunnell helped found three new towns—Minneowah, Chatfield, and Homer—largely out of the expectation that Winona would fail because he judged the site prone to flooding. However floods did not trouble Winona and the community prospered, while Bunnell&#39;s alternatives remained small.</p><br>
<p>Sometime during this period Williard also built a new, grander home beside his and Matilda&#39;s original log cabin—the house that is still standing today. The house may have been unfinished when Willard died in 1861. His brother Lafayette, having served as a surgeon in the Mexican–American War, the Mariposa War, and the Civil War, and been involved in the first Euro-American exploration of the Yosemite Valley, took up residence in the house in 1865 and lived there until his own death in 1903.</p><br>
<p>The Old Armijo School, also known as the Ranchos de Atrisco School, is a historic school building in the South Valley area of Albuquerque, New Mexico. It is notable as one of the only surviving school buildings attributed to Atanasio Montoya, a noted educator who reformed and modernized the Bernalillo County school system in the early 20th century. The school was added to the New Mexico State Register of Cultural Properties and the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The school was built in 1914 under the leadership of Bernalillo County school superintendent Atanasio Montoya, who was appointed in 1912 and almost immediately began an ambitious project to modernize the rural school system. At the time of Montoya&#39;s appointment, school attendance was poor and most students were attending class in one-room adobe shacks. Within two years, modern school buildings had been built or were planned for several districts and enrollment was up 60%. One of the new schools was the Ranchos de Atrisco school in county district 9, which served the rural community of Armijo. As with most of his projects, Montoya designed the building himself, employing the latest features to ensure the school would be comfortable and functional. Upon its completion, the Albuquerque Journal described the school as "modern in every particular, well ventilated, well lighted, and equipped in accordance with the very latest and most approved ideas." The original construction cost was $12,000.</p><br>
<p>By the late 1930s, county officials were planning a replacement school. The New Armijo School (now Kit Carson Elementary) opened in 1940 but the district schools had become so crowded by that point that the old school had to be kept open too. Old Armijo was annexed by Albuquerque Public Schools in 1949 along with all of the other remaining county schools, and in 1954 the school celebrated its 40th year of operation. It finally closed around 1960 when the current Armijo Elementary was built a short distance to the northwest. The building later housed the Bernalillo County Economic Opportunity Board, was used for a time as a community center, and now houses the RFK Charter School.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The Old Armijo School is a one-story brick building with a high hipped roof. It was designed by county superintendent Atanasio Montoya in accordance with his belief that school rooms should be roomy, bright, and well ventilated. The building has a central hall with three classrooms on the west side and one large room on the east side which can be subdivided with a folding partition. The classrooms are illuminated by tall 6-over-6 sash windows with transoms which could be opened to improve ventilation. The main entrance on the south facade is crowned with a small bell tower, which was removed at some point in the 1970s and later replaced. The original brick chimneys have also been removed, but most of the school&#39;s innovative features have been preserved.</p><br>
<p>The E. Payne Palmer House is a Gordon-Van Tine "Brentwood" model of a catalog kit house, or pre-cut house, that was built in 1925 on Central Avenue in Phoenix, Arizona.</p><br>
<p>The Colonial Revival style "Brentwood" kit house was featured on the cover of the Gordon-Van Tine catalog from the mid to late 1920s. The namesake later owner, E. Payne Palmer, was a noted Phoenix physician.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>The E. Payne Palmer house, located at 6012 N. Central Avenue, is an example of the various Period or Revival style houses built in Phoenix between 1915 and 1940. This site was part of the Orangewood subdivision, originally platted for development in 1895 by local developer William J. Murphy. Murphy&#39;s central concept behind the development was to create a Phoenix suburb "wherein might be established rural homes at an easy distance from the city."City of Phoenix, North Central Corridor Estate Survey: Phoenix, Arizona. Tempe, AZ: Woodward Architectural Group, 1993, p3.</p><br>
<p>The house assembly was completed in 1925.</p><br>
<p>No record has been found of the original owner, but the home is easily identifiable as a Gordon-Van Tine "Brentwood" model catalog home. From 1932 to 1939, Leslie Setter owned and occupied the house. E. Payne Palmer purchased the property in 1939.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>The distinctive architectural features of the E. Payne Palmer house demonstrate both its association with the Period Revival styles and its uniqueness in the suburban southwest. It is a two-story Period Revival Style house based on Cape Cod and Colonial Styles of the eighteenth century. It has a rectangular plan, with a steep-pitched, clipped gable, roof and shed dormers, sheathed with wood shingles. While the roof form shows the Cape Cod influence, other characteristics of the Colonial Revival style appear in the facade.</p><br>
<p>It is symmetrical with a central, Georgian-style entry. It has a common pediment entry, with a segmental arch and wood pilasters that frame the paneled, wood door. The walls are stuccoed and have a sand finish. The windows are divided, multi-light wood casement windows that are symmetrically located. The lower floor on the front of the house has two large, paired, 10-light French doors and two small 4-light windows that frame the entry. The upper floor on the front of the house has two medium-sized, paired, 8-light windows set in individual dormers and two pairs of 8-light windows, set adjacent in a single central dormer. The windows have ornamental shutters with small S-shaped brackets known as shutter dogs that hold them in place.</p><br>
<p>There is one single chimney that is off-set south from center that protrudes from the roof on the rear of the house. The house also has two small rectangular vents on the gable ends. There is a small, single-story addition to the house located on the north elevation that includes a second-story porch on top. There is a small enclosed porch attached to the house located on the southwest corner and has a small gable roof.</p><br>
<p>The rear of the house features similar treatments, symmetry and proportions. There are three dormers similar to the front and French doors on the lower floor. Since the 1993 North Central Corridor Estate Survey, the house has been re-roofed with wood shingles replacing the asphalt shingles identified in the survey. The property is well maintained both inside and out by the homeowners.</p><br>
<p>The property includes a carriage house (historic), detached three-car garage (non-historic) and, a small, free-standing arbor on the sidewalk that leads to the front door. The carriage house is of similar construction as the main house, and was used as living quarters for household staff. It has stucco walls and a steep-pitched gable roof. It also has a screened extension with a steep-pitched, hip roof. The roof of this building is also wood shingle. The south gable on the structure reflects the character-defining clipped gable elements of the main house.</p><br>
<h3>Site and gardens</h3><br>
<p>The property is located on a prominent intersection that anchors the Orangewood development. The area features high style estate architecture and scenic drives in the center of the city. The location and integrity of the property demonstrate the high artistic values of the North Central Corridor Estates.</p><br>
<p>The house faces Central Avenue and anchors the southwest corner of the tree-lined and canopied portion of Central Avenue, known as the bridal path, that runs north from that point for the next two or more miles. The house and outbuildings are located on nearly one and a half acres of gardens on the corner of Bethany Home Road and Central Avenue. The property has a long cobblestone and decomposed granite driveway that runs along the south side of the property. There are gated drive entrances on Bethany Home Road and Central Avenue, with a concrete block wall that surrounds the property.</p><br>
<p>A 1949 newspaper article refers to the spacious gardens where they hosted society events. The rear of the house opens onto an extensive patio and pool area. Some of the elements in this area may be considered as part of the historic elements of the property. The particular garden features that appear in the 1949 newspaper article include the brick-capped tree planters and patio deck.</p><br>
<h3>Significance</h3><br>
<p>The E. Payne Palmer house is significant because it embodies the distinctive characteristics of Period Revival architecture that developed in Phoenix between 1915 and 1940. It illustrates both the popularity and the salient features of this style. Additionally, it is associated with the Rural Estate Development in the North Central Corridor, 1895–1942.</p><br>

<h2>Dr. E. Payne Palmer</h2><br>
<p>Dr. E. Payne Palmer was a notable member of the medical community at local, national, and international levels. He made significant contributions for advancing hospital standardization and administration in the United States. Additionally, his contributions in surgical techniques, cancer research and patient care coincided with the advancements in medicine in the early 20th century. Dr. Palmer was also a prominent member and contributor to his community giving his time and money to religious, arts, and social organizations in order to improve the quality of life in Phoenix. The residence reflects Dr. Palmer&#39;s success as a physician and his significance in the development of the community.</p><br>
<p>Born in 1876 in Church Hill, Mississippi, Errol Payne Palmer graduated from Barnes Medical College of St. Louis, Missouri, in 1898. He moved to Phoenix in 1900 setting up his first practice at 108 North Center Street, now Central Avenue. Dr. Palmer related in his personal papers "I rode a bicycle for town calls and rented a horse and buggy from the livery stable for country calls." When Dr. Palmer arrived in Phoenix, "St. Josephs Hospital had twelve beds and no operating room. A pair of carpenter sawhorses were placed in a patients room and boards were put across the sawhorses to make an operating table. The part to be operated on was washed with warm water and soap, chloroform was the usual anesthetic and this was administered by some of the other surgeons."</p><br>
<p>In 1902 he "successfully removed a large brain tumor from a man who had received a head injury many years before." During the same year he "performed a cesarean section," which he recalled that this may have been the "first of its kind or nearly so for each of these procedures in Arizona."</p><br>
<p>During the fifty-year span of Dr. Palmer&#39;s career, he authored and contributed over sixty-five formal papers to the literature on medicine and surgery. In 1906, he published *Phoenix Arizona as a Health Resort for Tuberculous Patients. In 1904, he discussed "Normal saline solutions and their physiological uses." Then there followed a series of publications relating to cancer, its cause, case reports and treatment. Dr. Palmer was involved in luncheon discussions at the Harvard Club in New York that led to the formation in 1913 of the American Society for the Control of Cancer (now the American Cancer Society). He was one of the first to advance the hereditary properties of cancer. He was also a pioneer in the use of lumbar spinal anesthesia. In 1936, he was invited to address the Second International College of Scientific Campaigns Against Cancer at Brussels, Belgium. At this time, he was also serving as the Chairman of the Cancer Control Committee of the Arizona State Medical</p><br>
<p>Association.</p><br>
<p>Dr. Palmer was an active supporter of organized medicine and served as the president of the Maricopa County Medical Society, the Southwestern Medical Association, and the Arizona State Medical Association. He was a charter member of the American College of Surgery and "Governor of the College for twenty-eight years from the State of Arizona." In 1958 he was</p><br>
<p>awarded the distinguished service award by the American College of Surgeons. He was honored as the originator of the Colleges Program of Hospital Standardization, first Fellow of the State of Arizona, and a supporter of the Colleges ideals and activities for fifty-five years.</p><br>
<p>The residence was owned and occupied by Dr. Palmer and his family from 1939 until his death in 1960. For over 21 years the home served as a backdrop for a variety of functions that catered to Palmer&#39;s professional and social associates.</p><br>
<p>The Cherryfield Academy is a historic academic and municipal building on Main Street in Cherryfield, Maine. A large Greek Revival building, it was built in 1850 to house a private academy and town offices. The academy operated until 1964, after which municipal facilities took over the remaining space. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Cherryfield Academy building is located on the east side of Main Street in the center of Cherryfield. It is a 2-1/2 story wood frame structure, with a T-shaped cross-gable layout, end chimneys, and granite foundation. Its main facade faces south, and has the projecting leg of the T, which is a three-bay section topped by a square belfry. The section has a pair of entrances on the front, and further entrances on each side of the projection. The building&#39;s corners are pilasters, and most of its walls are finished in clapboard; the east and west ends are finished in matchboard.</p><br>
<p>The Cherryfield Academy was a private school established in 1829. In 1850 a school district was formed to provide it with a permanent home, which resulted in the construction of this building. From the start it housed municipal offices on the ground floor, while the upstairs was used by the school. For twenty years (1875–95) the academy was operated as a free high school, accepting all area students, but returned to private status. It closed in 1965, following the construction of a regional high school. In addition to municipal offices, the building now also houses the town library and a community center.</p><br>
