<p>The Carter-Simmons House is a historic house at 218 Coy Smith Road, near Albertson, North Carolina. Purchased in 2009 by Cynthia Carter Hite Content, a direct descendant of Solomon Carter and his son Alexander , Mrs. Content stabilized the structure and sought its full restoration by first starting a non-profit called The Cool Water Historic Foundation, Inc. , and then making sure it was added to the National Register of Historic Places. Sadly, the land across from the house, formerly lovely farm land, was leased to a solar company and 5-acres of solar panels then faced the house just 300 feet from the front porch. This event put an end to the fund raising efforts to fully restore the wonderful old house. Many people in the area are related to families who lived there over the past 220-plus years! It is a -story wood-frame structure with an integral front porch, three bays wide, with several types of exterior wood coverings, a product of its unusual construction history. The house was built in the early 19th century as a two-story wood-frame structure, and was reduced in 1853 to its present size by the removal its upper floor. It is one of the best-preserved examples of this type of coastal cottage to be found in Duplin County.</p><br>

<p>The Madison County Courthouse is a historic courthouse in Richmond, Kentucky, United States, which serves as the seat of government for Madison County. It is a Greek Revival structure originally built in 1849–1850 by John McMurtry according to the designs of Thomas Lewinski, the two of whom were some of the most prominent architects in central Kentucky during the nineteenth century. It has been expanded and remodeled several times since, most recently in 1965. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.</p><br>
<h2>Background</h2><br>
<p>Madison County, named ultimately for the fourth President of the United States, James Madison, was created by the state of Virginia in 1785, and formed one of the nine original counties of Kentucky when the state was admitted to the Federal union in 1792. Richmond became the county seat in 1798, replacing Milford, four miles to the southwest, and was named for Richmond, Virginia, which was the birthplace of John Miller, the veteran of the American Revolution who founded the city. The first formal county courthouse, erected in 1798, consisted of a log cabin with an adjacent jail; before then, county services operated out of Miller&#39;s own barn. The following year, the log cabin was replaced by a plain, two-story brick building designed by Tyra Rhodes, which served for the following fifty years.</p><br>
<p>Tyra Rhodes&#39; nephew William Rhodes was one of the commissioners charged with procuring plans for construction of a new courthouse in the late 1840s. He sought to retain a reputable architect and hired Major Thomas Lewinski, an English immigrant who had received some formal training as an architect and made a name for himself as a proponent of the Greek Revival style in nearby Lexington. There his commissions included several important residences, including the second house at Ashland (1854–57) for James B. Clay (son of former USA Senator Henry Clay), and he would go on to design several other institutional structures in the region, such as Jacobs Hall at the Kentucky School for the Deaf (1857). McMurtry was himself a well-known designer who also ran his own construction company, often employed by Lewinski for many of his designs. Earlier McMurtry had been apprenticed to Gideon Shryock, the first important architect in central Kentucky, who was responsible for several very prominent Greek Revival structures, including the old Kentucky State Capitol building in Frankfort (1827–30) and Old Morrison at Transylvania University in Lexington (1830–34), as well as the first Arkansas state capitol building (1833–42) in Little Rock. Although he had no further architectural training aside from his employment under Shryock, McMurtry himself designed and constructed the Clark County Courthouse in Winchester, the Transylvania Dormitory and Medical Hall in Lexington, and the Kentucky Asylum for the Deaf and Dumb in Danville, among numerous other commissions. He is probably best-known today for his associations with the Gothic Revival in central Kentucky at this time.</p><br>
<h2>Original design</h2><br>
<p>The courthouse is sited on Richmond&#39;s town square, facing Main Street, which runs down a slope past the structure; strangely, therefore, the courthouse is not located at the highest point of downtown. Surrounding Italianate and later Victorian buildings frame the courthouse and permit it to continue to dominate the immediate area, even today.</p><br>
<p>Lewinski&#39;s original design called for a cruciform-plan, south-facing two-story structure, which employed a monumental portico supported by four stout Roman Doric columns. The main block extends longitudinally to the north from the portico and rises higher than the two subsidiary wings that are recessed from the portico front and flank it on either side. This allows for the central block to contain the courtroom with its high ceiling on the second floor, a common characteristic in Kentucky courthouse architecture. Each of the subsidiary wings extending to the east and west also originally sported smaller porticoes on their respective ends, removed around 1890, but which originally emphasized the contrast in scale between the central block and the two wings. Undoubtedly, this contrast and the positioning of the courtroom on the second level in the central block referred to the elevated, intellectual activity of courtroom justice and judicial power relative to the mundane, everyday administrative work conducted in offices on the lower levels and in the two wings.</p><br>
<p>Above the central block and in line with the two wings rises a tall octagonal cupola, with four clock faces located respectively on each of the cardinal sides, just above its base. It is marked at each of its eight corners by an engaged Ionic column. Large sash windows punctuate the south façades and, originally also the east and west ends of the two smaller wings. Today the exterior constitutes the only part of the structure that retains the Greek Revival details. The portico sports a thin two-banded architrave and above that a prominent yet severe frieze of triglyphs separated by bare metopes; an additional bay is allotted for the central intercolumniation. Heavy modillions with guttae adorn the raking cornice and pediment that crown this part of the structure.</p><br>
<h2>Modifications</h2><br>
<p>In the mid-1890s the Cincinnati firm of Crapsey and Brown was retained by Madison County to make extensive alterations, which were previewed in The Inland Architect to cost some $15,000. Among other changes, the remodeling of the interior included the installation of an impressive bronze and marble double staircase inside the main vestibule that still provides access to the courtroom on the second level. It was probably about this time that the small porticoes on the ends of the east and west wings were removed and themselves replaced by large windows.</p><br>
<p>The last significant modifications to the courthouse were made in 1965, which filled in much of the space behind the original wings with a rather unsympathetic and architecturally insignificant expansion of the structure. The interior hallways were mostly covered over with large-plate ceramic tile and dropped ceilings were added. The courtroom has been repeatedly remodeled to accommodate more modern equipment and furnishings. On the exterior, a projecting bay of an added staircase partially hides the pediment and destroys the symmetry originally present on the north façade opposite the portico.</p><br>

<p>Watchtide by the Sea, once known as the College Club Inn, is a historic traveler accommodation at 190 West Main Street  in Searsport, Maine. Based around an early 19th-century house and developed as an inn and tea room in the early 20th century, the property exemplifies the adaptive reuse of older properties for the tourist trade in Maine. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>Watchtide by the Sea is set on the southeast side of US 1, roughly midway between downtown Searsport and Moose Point State Park. The inn consists of a 1-1/2 story Cape style house, which is connected by a long single-story ell extending to its left to a converted barn. The Cape is five bays wide, with a side gable roof and end chimneys, and has a porch extending across its front and a full-width shed-roof dormer above. The ell has smaller shed-roof dormers, which was also found on the barn&#39;s southern roof. The interior of the Cape has Greek Revival styling, and is organized in a typical Federal period central hall plan, enlarged by the presence of the dormer above, and an enclosed porch to the rear.</p><br>
<p>The house was built about 1800, and was acquired in 1902 by George and Rose Pettee for use as a summer house. Eleanor Roosevelt was among the most well known of their guests, staying on occasion to escape the sweltering summers of Washington, DC. A number of the enlargements and alterations were made during the Pettees ownership, and the property was opened as a tea room and inn by their daughter Frances in 1917, known as the "College Club T House". Still under the Pettees ownership, it operated under several variants of the "College Club" name through 1953. Although this practice of converting older buildings for use in the tourist trade was quite common in Maine, there are relatively few well-preserved examples, of which this is one.</p><br>

Mann and Eugene Stern who are best known for the design of the Arkansas Capitol Building. It is named in honor of Albert Pike.</p><br>
<p>Constructed by Sovereign Grand Inspector General (SGIG) and Lieutenant Grand Commander Charles E. Rosenbaum. The current building is the third consistory building built on the site, and has been called “The Jewel of the Southern Jurisdiction.”</p><br>
<p>The building is home to the Valley of Little Rock, but has many offices occupied by different offices in the Masonic Fraternity. The offices found in the building are: the administrative offices of the Scottish Rite for the Orient of Arkansas, Grand Lodge of Arkansas,</p><br>
<p>General Grand Chapter Royal Arch Masons International, and the Grand York Rite for the State of Arkansas. Additionally, the other lodges and bodies found on the north end of the building are: Western Star Lodge #2, Albert Pike Lodge #714, Union Chapter #2 Royal Arch Masons Occidental Council #1 Royal and Select Masters and Hugh de Payens Commandery #1 Knights Templar</p><br>
<p>The Little Rock Scottish Rite has the distinction of being one of 5 states to originally have a Grand Consistory. The Little Rock bodies are known as the first to use lights, props, theater drops, robes, and perform dramatized degrees. They also were the first to institute a "Camp Guard" for degree and ceremonial use.</p><br>
<p>The building suffered a near catastrophic fire in 1952 where the oldest part of building caught fire and burned. The building was then "modernized" with new climate control mechanisms and facilities.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.</p><br>
<p>In 2014 the building was made "open to the public" for rentals to much success. The following year the local opera company "Opera in the Rock" chose the Albert Pike Memorial Temple as the venue to host Mozart&#39;s classic opera "The Magic Flute."</p><br>
<p>It is the only edifice in Arkansas, and one of the very few around the country, that regularly confers the 33rd degree and performs the Investiture of the Knight Commander of the Court of Honor.</p><br>
<p>The Joseph W. Low House is a historic house at 51 Highland Street in Bangor, Maine. Built in 1857 in the citys then-fashionable Thomas Hill neighborhood, it is one of northern Maines finest examples of Italianate architecture. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Low House is located on the north side of Thomas Hill Road, immediately south of the Thomas Hill Standpipe on Thomas Hill, a rise overlooking Kenduskeag Stream and downtown Bangor. It is a two-story wood-frame structure, its main block roughly square, with a hip roof topped by an octagonal cupola. The front of the house is finished in wooden clapboards, while the side walls are finished in flushboarding configured to resemble stonework. The front (south-facing) facade is symmetrically arranged, three bays across, with a center entrance sheltered by a multi-columned porch. The window above the entrance is a double window, while the windows flanking the entrance have segmented-arch tops, and have bracketed hoods above. The second-floor windows have elaborate Italianate surrounds, and there are paired brackets in the roof eave. A porch extends along part of the left side.</p><br>
<p>The house was designed by Harvey Graves and built in 1857 for Joseph Low, a wealthy man of unknown business who moved to California after the American Civil War. The Thomas Hill area was at that time promoted as a new fashionable neighborhood, due in part to the views it furnished, as the previously fashionable area, Broadway, had become built out.</p><br>
<p>The Salmon Falls  Historic District encompasses a node of rural development in western Buxton, Maine. It includes thirteen historic properties, mainly Greek Revival in character, extending north along Maine State Route 117, north of its junction with Simpson Road, and two on the latter street, that were all built between about 1800 and 1850. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Salmon Falls area, divided between Buxton and Hollis by the Saco River, developed beginning in the late 18th century as a modest agricultural area, and the falls on the river, for which it is named, were developed in the second quarter of the 19th century with small scale industrial operations. The road that is now Maine State Route 117 was the main road in the area leading north from the port of Saco, and became the focus for development on the Buxton side of the village. The area declined economically in the second half of the 19th century, and further growth was consequently quite limited.</p><br>
<p>The district is centered along a stretch of Route 117 extending south from a bend in the Saco River to the roads junction with Simpson and Elden Roads. Eleven properties line this piece of road, with another two on Simpson and Elden completing the district inventory. The oldest house, the Elden family homestead, stands on the south side of Elden Road, and is a fine Federal-style estimated to date to the 1790s. The Came-Marshall House, located just northwest of the junction, is probably the most impressive house in the district: it is a 2-1/2 story Federal-style brick structure, with an elaborate entry that has sidelight windows and a semi-circular fanlight. Most of the houses in the district, however, were built between 1825 and 1850, and are Greek Revival in character. Most are wood-frame structures 1-1/2 or 2-1/2 stories in height, although three are built out of brick. The latest building in the district is the c. 1868 Darrah Tavern, which anchors the districts northern end. Two buildings are non-contributing to the district. One, the Jabez Haley House, has been altered. It was built in 1862. The other house was moved to the corner of Elden Lane and Route 117 in 1936. The Hopkinson-Nichols House is a Cape Style house that was built c. 1800, but it was not a part of the neighborhood when the other houses were built.</p><br>
<p>The Buffalo River Bridge was a historic bridge, carrying Arkansas Highway 7 across the Buffalo River in northeastern Newton County, Arkansas. It was located in the Buffalo National River, managed by the National Park Service. It was an unusual Pennsylvania through truss, with a center span of 160 ft and a total structure length of 375 ft. The central truss was flanked at the ends by eight-panel Warren trusses. The bridge was built in 1931 by a Kansas contractor under contract to the state highway department. At the time of its listing on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990, it was one of four known Pennsylvania through trusses in the state. It was delisted in 2022 following demolition that began in 2021.</p><br>
<p>The Dr. Hudson Sanitarium Agricultural Building Historic District encompasses a small cluster of buildings constructed in the 1930s as part of a planned tuberculosis sanitarium in central northern Newton County, Arkansas. It is located on the west side of Arkansas Highway 327, southwest of Jasper, and includes three buildings. Two of them are modest -story log houses, finished with board-and-batten siding, and the third is a two-story wood-frame dairy barn. These were built 1936-39 pursuant to a plan by Dr. William Anderson Hudson, a doctor with deep family ties in the area, to provide facilities for tuberculosis sufferers in the remote area. His plans were frustrated by World War II and state regulations on such facilities, and the main sanitarium was never built.</p><br>

<p>The Gates House is a historic house museum at 344 Port Road  in Machiasport, Maine. Built in 1807, it is a remarkably high-quality Federal period house built in what was then a frontier area. The house is now owned by the Machiasport Historical Society, which uses it as its headquarters and museum. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Gates House is located between Port Road and the Machias River in the village center of Machiasport, a short way south of Liberty Hall. It is set on a steeply sloping lot directly on the bank of the river, presenting two stories to the street and three to the river. It is an L-shaped wood-frame structure, with a hip roof and clapboard siding. The main entrance is set near the crook of the L, flanked by pilasters and topped by an entablature. Windows are small-paned sash, with minimally decorative surrounds, and there are three chimneys. The interior has seen much alteration over the building&#39;s history, and only the first floor room layout approximates the original configuration. There are no fireplaces.</p><br>
<p>When the house was built in 1807, it was one of the few houses in the immediate area. It was probably built by Nathaniel Phinney, Sr., and was purchased by Nathan Gates in 1813. Gates operated wharves adjacent to the house, which became a transshipment point for lumber arriving on the Whitneyville Railroad and sent to market via coasting schooners. The house remained in the hands of the Gates family until 1929. In 1966 it was acquired by the Machiasport Historical Society, which uses it as its headquarters and museum.</p><br>
<p>The Salmon Falls  Historic District encompasses a cluster of well-preserved buildings built before 1840, and located on the Hollis, Maine side of the rural village of Salmon Falls. In addition to its architectural significance, the area is also noted for its association with the author Kate Douglas Wiggin, whose home, Quillcote, is in the district, as is the Salmon Falls Library, established by her efforts in 1911. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.</p><br>
<h2>Description and history</h2><br>
<p>The Salmon Falls area, divided between Buxton and Hollis by the Saco River, developed beginning in the late 18th century as a modest agricultural area, and the falls on the river, for which it is named, were developed in the second quarter of the 19th century with small scale industrial operations. The road that is now Maine State Route 117 was the main road in the area leading north from the port of Saco, and became the focus for development on the Buxton side of the village. One of the first settlers on the west side of the River, Isaac Lane, paid to have a bridge built across the river (roughly now the location of United States Route 202) c. 1794. The area saw growth in the second quarter of the 19th century, but declined economically thereafter, limiting further development.</p><br>
<p>The historic district covers about 13 acre, and extends along Salmon Falls Road north from its junction with US 202, including only the Salmon Falls Library on the south side of that road. The oldest houses in the district are those of Isaac Lane and Jabez Bradbury, both built in the 1790s. The former is a well-preserved Federal style wood frame house, while the latter, now also known as the Kate Douglas Wiggin House or "Quillcote", has been significantly altered with the addition of a Greek Revival ell. Most of the remaining houses are 1-1/2 or 2-1/2 story wood frame houses built in the 1820s, with Greek Revival styling. There is one brick house, the Moses Dunn House, built in the 1830s, which occupies a picturesque site overlooking the Saco River. The Salmon Falls Library is located in the district&#39;s only surviving non-residential building, built as a shop in the 1820s, and converted into a kindergarten and library by Kate Douglas Wiggin and her sister Nora Smith in 1911.</p><br>
<p>Kate Douglas Wiggin was a noted writer of children&#39;s books. First exposed to the Salmon Falls area as a child, she purchased the Jabez Bradbury House in 1905 (it was the ancestral home of her stepfather), which became her home for the rest of her life. The library she and her sister founded was given to the town upon their deaths.</p><br>
<p>Two of the ten buildings in the district are non-contributing, and both stand between Quillcote and the Isaac Lane House. One was built in the 1950s, while the house nearer to Quillcote was built in the 1970s.</p><br>
<p>The Cannon Creek Bridge is a historic bridge in rural western Madison County, Arkansas. The bridge is located southeast of Durham, carrying County Road 5340 across Cannon and Coon Creeks. It is a curving concrete deck structure with an overall length of about 103 ft and a deck width of 20 ft. Built in 1929 to carry Arkansas Highway 16, it is the only known surviving curved concrete deck bridge in the state. It was bypassed by the present alignment of Highway 16 in the 1980s.</p><br>
<p>The bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004.</p><br>
<p>The Enterprise School is a historic school building in rural central-western Madison County, Arkansas. It is located at the junction of County Roads 6041 and 192. It is a single-story wood-frame structure, basically rectangular in shape, with a metal roof, weatherboard siding, and a concrete foundation. Its roof has exposed rafter ends in the Craftsman style, and it has a double-door entry sheltered by a gabled porch supported by sloping posts. Built about 1935, its construction was probably funded by a Depression-era jobs program.</p><br>
<p>The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.</p><br>
<p>The Huntsville Commercial Historic District encompasses the historic elements of the business district of Huntsville, Arkansas, the county seat of Madison County. It covers an area three blocks by two, extending east–west between Hughes and Harris Streets, and north–south between War Eagle and Church Streets. Most of the buildings in the district were built after fires swept through the town in 1902 and 1925, although the Madison County Courthouse is an Art Deco structure built in 1939. The district includes 32 historically significant buildings.</p><br>
<p>The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2008.</p><br>
<p>Westview Cemetery is a historic cemetery in Wadesboro, North Carolina. Located on the west side of the town, south of Henry Street and west of Madison Avenue, it is a 5 acre parcel, which has historically been used as the burying ground for the community&#39;s African-American population. The central portion, about 1 acre in size, was the original burying ground laid out in 1898. The only burials known to be of whites are those of the Smith family , whose older family cemetery formed part of the original acquisition.</p><br>
<p>The historic portion of the cemetery was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2015.</p><br>
<p>The Flyway Club is a historic shooting club at 221 Marsh Causeway in Knotts Island, North Carolina. Located on more than 400 acre facing Currituck Sound on the west side of Knotts Island, it is one of the oldest surviving fowl hunting clubs in the state. Its main lodge was built about 1920, and rebuilt in a near replica in 1960 after being destroyed by fire. The lodge also includes a large U-shaped farm building, also built about 1920, that housed the club staff and farming equipment. The club was established by Ogden Mills Reid, and remained in the Reid family until 2013, when it was acquired by the Conservation Fund.</p><br>
<p>Twenty-six acres of the club&#39;s property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2015.</p><br>
<p>The Dr. John and Gerda Meyer House is an International Style designed home, in an appropriate setting on the ridge of sand dune in the lakeside resort community of Beverly Shores, Indiana. The house has a lower level that opens to the rear  side of the dune; the house&#39;s main level is located at the top of the dune and overlooks Lake Michigan, which is to its north. A small patio is located on the north side of the house. A staircase that is made of wood connects the patio to the base of the sand dune and Lake Front Drive. A concrete driveway and terraced wood steps connect the south side of the house to Fairwater Drive, at the base of the sand dune.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The lot straddles a sand dune on the south side of West Lake Front Drive. Dr. Meyer and Mr. Harold Olin, the architect for the house, planted 1,000 saplings on the lot after the house was constructed. These included several white pine trees. The intent was for native vegetation to protect the dune from erosion. A wood staircase is located on the north slope of the sand dune. It connects the house to the street below; however it is badly deteriorated.</p><br>
<p>Flagstones were placed on the ground on the north side of the house to create a small patio area. Flagstones were used for a path and stepping-stones around the northwest and northeast corners. A knoll has a terrace wall composed of flagstones on the east side of the brick wall.</p><br>
<p>A short concrete sidewalk is on the east side of the house supported by brick walls that are part of the house&#39;s lower level walls. The stone path connects the steps to the parking area on the south side of the house. A retaining wall composed of flagstones is located on the east side of the steps and stone path.</p><br>
<p>The south side of the house has a concrete parking area between the house and Fairwater Drive. The parking area is steeply pitched because it is on the side of the dune. A long walkway composed of terraced wood steps leads from the house to the base of the sand dune. It has wood posts on its west side; the posts once had a rope handrail.</p><br>
<h2>Exterior</h2><br>
<p>This forms a "base" on which the main level appears to float. The main level is covered with redwood heartwood siding, installed vertically and stained to mimic weathered driftwood. There are large sections of glass windows and doors. The windows and doors have thin metal sashes and wood casings. A tall trim board separates the lower level from the main level between the brick walls and wood siding. The roof appears like a flat plane. The roof is supported by wood rafters spaced 10 ft on center. The rafters continue through the tops of the walls and support wide overhanging eaves. The owners used the roof as a rooftop deck for viewing the lake.</p><br>

<p>The Confederate Armory Site, a.k.a. Jones, McElwain and Company Iron Foundry, is a historic site in Holly Springs, Mississippi, US. It contains the scant ruins of the foundry built there in 1859, converted to an armory in 1861 by the Confederate States Army, used as a hospital by the Union Army in November 1862, and razed by the Confederates a month later.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Located in Holly Springs, the county seat of Marshall County, in Northern Mississippi the foundry was established in 1859 as the headquarters of the Jones, McElwain and Company Iron Foundry. The foundry also made iron used on slave plantations. The headquarters included several buildings and outbuildings, a foundry chimney, and ponds used as a water source for the foundry.</p><br>
<p>In 1861, at the outset of the American Civil War which lasted until 1865, Wallace S. McElwain turned the foundry into an armory for the Confederate States Army. The foundry was commissioned by the government of the Confederate States of America to make 20,000 USA Model 1841-designed rifles and 10,000 USA Model 1842-designed muskets. They were also commissioned to make 5,000 rifles for the state of Mississippi. No arms bearing the marks of the foundry have been found, it is therefore believed that the foundry was able only to repair and convert existing arms before it was in danger of being overrun after the Battle of Shiloh. The equipment was moved to Macon, Georgia and the weapons on hand were sent to Grenada, Mississippi.</p><br>
<p>On November 13, 1862, the Union Army invaded Holly Springs, and Union Major Horace R. Witz turned the armory into a hospital for Northern soldiers. It was also used as a storage facility for medical supplies used by Northerners. However, on December 20, 1862, Confederate General Earl Van Dorn burned down the site.</p><br>
<p>The site remained untouched until 1971.</p><br>
